You don't need to recompile your kernel to get (lin)procfs, they should be available as modules if they're not already there in your kernel. You might need to load the modules, though, via kldload. I don't remember if they're in the GENERIC kernel by default.

Have you fdisk'ed it? Created partitions and slices? Have you newfs'd it? It sounds like you haven't, so you'll need to start there. I think /sbin/sysinstall has a fancy GUI (well, text mode GUI) for partitioning, but if you want to be really lazy you can just "newfs -O 2 -U /dev/ar0", which creates the filesystem on the device without partitioning or slicing. You should then be able to mount it and add it to /etc/fstab.

Does anyone have FreeBSD running on a Thinkpad (t42)? I'm trying to get the blue mouse button to work, but it doesn't seem to register. I've tried pointing X at /dev/pcm0 and using moused/sysmouse. pcm0 doesn't register any data from the button and moused disables all three buttons on the row. Using moused in debug mode doesn't show any events when the blue mouse button is clicked, but the other buttons seem to work. Does anyone else have this working?

Sergeant Hobo posted:I seem to be having trouble with a NFS mount between my FreeBSD server and my Ubuntu laptop. A couple of NFS notes: 1) Your user UID and GID should be the same on both machines. Run "id" as you on both machines and make sure the UID and GID on each are the same. If they're not, NFS will think you are someone you're not, and this can cause permission errors. There are a few ways to work around this, if this is the cause of the problem. 2) For security reasons, the root account is treated specially over NFS and is mapped (usually) to "nobody", or another service account, which usually has read-only access across the filesystem. If you're logged in as root on the Ubuntu machine, this could be part of the problem. Try not to use root over NFS, but if you must, you can use the maproot command in exports to tell the server that when a client tries to access a file as root, it should treat that as if a different local user were accessing the file. You can use -maproot=root to disable this feature.

Sergeant Hobo posted:1) It would appear that the UID and GID on my FreeBSD machine is 1003 whereas it's 1000 on my Ubuntu laptop. So that appears to be a start to fixing the problem. But I'm not entirely sure on how to change those values. Off to Changing UIDs and GIDs is kind of complicated, but is the best method I know of for resolving this problem. If someone has a better one, do tell. You can use the "id" command followed by a number to find out which UIDs are in use and which are not. Check and see if UID 1000 is free on your BSD server or if 1003 is free on your linux machine. If it's free on the linux machine, change it there. Otherwise change it on the BSD machine. If both are free, change it on the box with the least files/stuff running on it. To change a UID on freebsd you should log in in single user mode and run "chpass <user>". You get a little editor/UI where you can change the UID and save. Once that's done, you have to "chown -R <user> ~/<user>" so the user can access all of their files. Once complete, you can reboot and log in as that user. Usually. Pavol Paska posted:There's no real need to follow STABLE unless you want some cutting-edge feature for the base system, just stick with the latest errata release and get the newest port tree. CURRENT contains all of the newest features, STABLE contains bug and security fixes, but also new features as once they are considered stable. You can also track the stable branch for your release, eg, RELENG_7_0, for just critical fixes and no new features. I generally rebuild world+kernel on a new box, to get it up to STABLE and then leave it alone until I have a reason to upgrade it again (eg, affected by a security issue, need a new feature, etc). I don't see any significant changes to STABLE from RELEASE for 7.0.

It's a non-issue if you know about it ahead of time, since you can specify the UID when you create the user, you probably just never noticed the option. Most companies have a master passwd file with all users and their unique UIDs, and each machine that is rolled out just pulls from that file. If you had installed the same OS on both machines, it is likely they would have picked the same UID, but not guaranteed. By default, UIDs are allocated in order, and some packages (apache, bind, etc) will add users on their own. Generally, users added by packages get UIDs of < 1000, but it's hard to predict which UIDs will be allocated by users created by default by the OS, by packages installed, or by the user herself. If the GIDs are incorrect you may need to do similar for the GIDs, but I don't know of any way of changing the GID of a group other than by editing /etc/groups. However, you can set the UID and GID at the same time when you do "chmod -R user:usersgroup ~user" at the end to save time. You can probably get by by not changing the GIDs to match, but it may be helpful to change them for simplicity. Keep in mind that if your user is not in the Wheel group on BSD, he will not be able to run "su". Make sure there are no user processes running when you change the UIDs or things will get very confused very fast. Good luck!

I think pf is a lot easier to configure. It also has several powerful options missing from ipfw, and pf is considered "the future". As far as I know, the only feature available in ipfw that is not in pf is divert sockets, where as pf adds built in bandwidth throttling, built in NAT, the "scrub" command, etc. Either would work fine, but I would start with pf if I were you.

Any reason you don't want to use pkg_add -r ? If you've got the build files still in /usr/ports/whatever, I believe you can use "make package" to create a package you can install with pkg_add. I don't have a copy of the ports tree handy so I can't look up the exact command. Edit: I also use rootbsd, but I haven't really done anything with it yet.

I've got a VIA C7 on a janky Jetway board that panics in FBSD 6.2 and 8.1 when powerd tries to throttle the CPU. It's using ACPI but I think it crashed when I ran without ACPI too. Regardless, where would I start to debug this? Do I need to start debugging AML or is there a more sane way of resolving this?

Can't you cron something like: ping -c 3 4.2.2.2 || route del default gw && route add default gw x.x.x.252 Obviously you should check the flags to all of that and include some way of failing back if the old gateway comes back up, but you get the idea. Shell script + ping + route command. Edit: Or build ifstated, whatever that is, or run a routing protocol between you and the gateways, or...

All of those firewall rules are allows. If you're not currently running pf (or another firewall) you don't need to change anything. The pf docs say it defaults to passing all traffic, so you could enable pf and add those rules, but it wouldn't have any effect. Also, you might want to look into openvpn. The client config is a little more complicated (having to set up default routes and some such, there's no automagic for Windows), but it's usually easier to configure on the server/router/firewall level since it runs over UDP.

Unlike Linux, though, the man pages are actually useful. There's no "see info page" which says "see http://gnu.org/blah". There's not too much to worry about except how the boot and init processes work. The rest is similar to linux with a slightly different fs heirarchy and some different apps (automounter, pw, ps and top are slightly different, etc). You also forgot the FreeBSD handbook, which is probably the best source of info. Feel free to skip sections you don't care about.

Is it possible to boot a FreeBSD system from a USB stick and have it check for rootkits? I recall there was some tool that would scan installed package MD5's and such, can that be run from a USB stick against the host's attached drive? What other options are there?

You did pick a weird time, but I believe packages installed by pkg_add can be managed by pkg and vice versa. If you have a system running well with packages added by one of the tools there's no reason to remove and reinstall with a different tool.

The FreeBSD Handbook covers it well. You probably won't need to update world or change the GENERIC config file, but you do need the csup step to make sure you have the latest stable sources.

Check /etc/periodic/security/200.chkmounts. It's basically the output of mount -p from today diffed with /var/log/mount.yesterday (which is the output of mount -p from yesterday). You can disable the check completely by setting daily_status_security_chkmounts_enable="NO" in /etc/periodic.conf.local

The BSD used by big companies isn't usually the same thing that goes to the public, usually it's cherry picked patches and fixes. Plus their hardware is very specific and supported in-house, so there are a lot of parts of the system they won't use. It's not that simple.

Yes, but my point is that those companies aren't just downloading 10-BETA2 and putting it on production servers and calling it a day. They have FreeBSD committers on staff to work cherry-pick patches and test only specific configs, as well as fix bugs as they occur (and feed them back upstream). I didn't understand the question to be "is FreeBSD suitable for production", which in a general sense it is, but "is the latest FreeBSD 10 beta suitable for a random internet user to use in production", which I think the answer is no. It will be, but it's not right now.

What's the best way to update openssl on a freebsd 10 machine with a custom kernel? I can't use freebsd-update because the kernel is 10-stable.

JamesOff posted:Do you need to rebuild world or will just /usr/src/usr.bin/openssl or similar do? It seems like everything I care about is linked against /usr/lib/libssl.7 and /usr/lib/libcrypto.7. Even if I rebuild openssl or install from pkg it installs /usr/local/lib/libssl.8 and /usr/local/lib/libssl.8 and I'm hesitant to assume .7 and .8 are compatible.
