We still have MD5 as our default password hash, even though known-hash attacks against MD5 are relatively easy these days. We've supported SHA256 and SHA512 for many years now, so how about making SHA512 the default instead of MD5, like on most Linux distributions?

Take the usual precautions when upgrading. Also note that I have changed some configuration defaults: the server no longer accepts protocol version 1 nor password authentication by default. If your ssh client does not support ssh protocol version 2 or keyboard-interactive authentication, the recommended measures are: 1) get a better client 2) get a better client (I mean it) 3) get a better

Normally, in the !UseLogin case on a system with login classes, the umask is set implicitly by the first setusercontext() call in do_setusercontext() in session.c. However, FreeBSD treats the umask differently from other login settings: unless running with the target user's UID, it will only apply the value from /etc/login.conf, not that from the user's ~/.login.conf. The patch below

Operating system virtualization is the most effective way to utilize your system resources, jails let you setup isolated mini-systems. Jails are explains well in handbook however, from practical standpoint of view, the presented material is incomplete. The post below setup few scrips that follow handbook's 'Application of Jails' article and enhance with few missing features

I have a somewhat busy sftp server where the users are all chrooted into their home directory. In order to log all the commands they enter, I have to create a /dev/log entry and hard link in their home directory so that syslog works for their commands Match user * ForceCommand internal-sftp -f local1 -l verbose Everything works, but its a bit of a pain if someone restarts syslogd and forgets

Hello, Is there any support (existing or planned) for host keys/certs being managed by some hardware device (tpm,hsm,etc..) instead of a flat file? thanks, -Kenny

On a rather full customer web server, I am trying to track down whose web site script is trying to make outbound network connections when they should not be. In /etc/security/audit_control, I added to the flags line dir:/var/audit flags:lo,aa,-nt minfree:5 to log failed network connection. When I try an make an outbound connection to something that is blocked in pf, it seems to sometimes work.

I figure some one here may find this interesting.

Other than cranking up logging to debug2, is there a way to better tune logging on a server to see if I am running into max sessions ? On FreeBSD RELENG11 I am periodically seeing connections being refused- 3way handshake not completing or completing and then FINs. Typically, I have a hundred or so connections at one time, but they can bounce up to a few hundred on occasion. Without leaving the

Hello, I am interested in an ssh that is not interactive in requesting the password, i.e, whereas I can specify the password in the command line when calling SSH. I have wondered how such a feature has not been included in such a good client, as it seems there are many (and I have searched for this) people require this capability for their scripts/automation. I understand the possibility of

Hi, I have been trying out a nice new tws controller and decided to enable debugging in the kernel and run some stress tests. With a regular GENERIC kernel, it boots up fine. But with debugging, it panics on boot. Anyone know whats up ? Is this something that should be sent directly to LSI ? pcib0: <ACPI Host-PCI bridge> port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0 pci0: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib0

Hi. I experimented a bit with collecting entropy from the time it takes for device_attach() to run (in CPU cycles). It seems that those times have enough variation that we can use it for entropy harvesting. It happens even before root is mounted, so pretty early. On the machine I'm testing it, which has minimal kernel plus NIC driver I see 75 device_attach() calls. I'm being very careful

Am I the only person to be seeing this log message from sshd: fatal: cipher_init: EVP_CipherInit: set key failed for aes128-cbc [preauth] ? (security/openssh-portable, with HPN patches and MIT Kerberos, although Kerberos is not actually configured on this server.) A work-around is to disable aes128-cbc in sshd_config, but it would be nice not to have my logs spammed with this. Currently

This affects only 3.7p1 and 3.7.1p1. The advice to leave PAM disabled is far from heartening, nor is the semi-lame blaming the PAM spec for implementation bugs.
