OK, so fsck couldn't have done this. Besides fsck reported the fs as clean so I have to conclude as others have commented that it must have been a mv I've been looking at the logs very carefully and trying to make sense of this. There is a possibility that it could have been an attack because we enabled ftp.proxy so that some clients could upload stuff to their jails using ftp. So I was initially wrong in my assessment because on this particular server we are running a service outside of jails and it's this ftp.proxy that was suppose to be a temporary solution but I guess we never got around to fixing this. The ftp.proxy is started via inetd like so: ftpstream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/sbin/ftp.proxy ftp.proxy -e And there was a log of a couple of ftp connections the same day this happened, the ONLY 3 messages before the reboot at about 6 pm and they were NOT from any of our customers. Here are the log entries: Apr 27 05:54:37 nune ftp.proxy[2726]: connected to client: host-46-50-183-5.bbcustomer.zsttk.net, interface= 207.158.52.74:21 Apr 27 05:54:37 nune ftp.proxy[2726]: info: monitor mode: off, ccp: unset Apr 27 05:54:38 nune ftp.proxy[2726]: -ERR: missing hostname Apr 27 18:55:42 nune syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel OK. So let's suppose ftp.proxy is the culprit is there any way the could have done the mv by cracking ftp and ftp.proxy ?? I have of course disabled the ftp and I am now thinking that another possibility or combination by also using the ftp proxy on the http-proxy jail, that is, the jail that swallowed the other jails. The http-proxy jails was also running apache ftp proxy. So the question now becomes: could a break in ftp.proxy coupled with Apache ftp proxy have caused the http-proxy jails to have swallowed all the other jails into it's configuration directory?? -- Alejandro Imass ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
bsdpan-* ports, portmanager, and @comment ORIGIN:
I'm working on developing some stuff in Perl on my box, which works fairly well unless I go to update my system. Anytime I do, I get the following error from portmanager: `rCreateInstalledDbVerifyContentsFile 0.4.1_9 error: @comment ORIGIN: not found in /var/db/pkg/bsdpan-$MODULE_NAME` Where $MODULE_NAME is one of the modules I've installed via CPAN, instead of using the FreeBSD ports system. It will advise me to delete the package and then try manually reinstalling it - which works, *if* I install the Ports version. Then running portmanager again will just pick the next module from the list, and go on, until I've uninstalled everything I installed via CPAN and installed it from Ports. Which would be fine, if annoying, if everything actually was available in Ports. But it's not: I'm using several modules that aren't available from Ports, and of course the modules I'm *developing* aren't available from Ports. So, is there any way to *avoid* getting that error? Some way where I can actually use the ports system to keep my stuff up to date? (Even if it doesn't include the manually-installed software?) Or do I just have to avoid anything Perl-related from the Ports system and install everything manually? (Or - likely at that point - find a different OS to work on. It'd be less hassle to switch OSes than to try to make sure *nothing* using Perl is installed from the Ports.) Daniel T. Staal --- This email copyright the author.

Which specific modules are not available? In the past I had to port a
few Perl modules into FreeBSD or else install them via CPAN as you have
done. If it is a simple module, I can show you how to do it or make a
port for it myself. Also, you should be aware that many modules are
available in the ports system, but not under the correct CPAN name.
Don't ask why; I did once and got so much BS that I just abandoned the

Another method in common use right now is to throw out applications from anyone who's currently unemployed, and only look at ones who already have a position and are looking to change jobs. I have been told by several people in HR that the trend to give preference to those all ready working as opposed to the unemployed is based on the philosophy that if no one else will hire them, then why should we. While we could argue whether that logic is flawed, it is never-the-less presently in use. However, it doesn't really pertain to entry level openings. With the glut of individuals entering the job market, for an applicant to not be proficient in the skills being advertised for by the prospective employer is just a waste of time. If the employer is looking for skill A and B, crying to him/her that you have skill C is just a waste of both your times. It *does* pertain to entry level positions, because (from what I have seen) most entry level positions come with an experience requirement of at least two years. But then this would invalidate ENTRY level. How exactly is an applicant supposed to get a job from that entry level pool when he doesn't have previous experience because he simply wants to ENTER that field of profession? Yes -- that is *exactly* the question that comes up. These are not jobs that are entry level in terms of requirements, even if they are entry level in terms of pay and actual skill required to do the job to a reasonable level of competence. Consider examples like first-level call center jobs that require a college degree and a couple years expericence, as pretty much the canonical example. In some cases, these jobs may simple be advertised this way so hiring managers can use the lack of qualified applicants to help justify offshoring jobs. In other cases, this is just an example of how HR best practices have gotten ridiculously out of control, where everybody tries to copy what everyone else is doing because if everyone else is doing it you can't get in trouble for doing the same thing. The end result, of course, is that you only get people with experience who nobody else wants to hire or people who lie well -- but on paper it looks like you went to great lengths to hire the right person, and thus you (hopefully) can't be blamed for hiring turkeys. You speak as though you think they're correctly identifying the skills they actually need from their employees. A big part of this entire discussion has been about the fact that many responsible parties in the hiring process are utterly without capacity for correctly identifying the skills they actually need to optimally fill the open positions. Correct, at least that's my experience. To give you _few_ examples which are more the norm than exceptions: good MS standart knowledge (Yavoll mein Hare Heiny Standart-Leader von Sowercrowd!) programming knowledge in established programming languages, e. g. OS2 (cc hello.os2, and it's OS/2 with slash) modern Microsoft operating systems (Windows 98 and XP) (yes, _very_ modern and current; hey, it's more than 10 years old!) extended basic knowledge (so what, basic or extended?) autonomous team-oriented working (maybe as a one man team!) It's funny when you encounter job offers by recruiters and HR services who _fail_ to properly spell our native language, but think they are in a positition to place _you_ (as a professional) into a good job! Okay, it's NOT funny. It's also not funny if you have to explain to such a senior consultant permanent placement how to open a PDF file containing your application documents, and it's even worse when they try to trick you to do their work, e. g. enter all your data again into their (!) HR database. As I said, the problem of the unclear expression _what_ skills actually are needed can make it hard to properly apply for a job. This problem isn't only present for written application, it's also there if you get invited to an interview and the guy across the table is simply asking the wrong questions, or unable to understand your answers. I think a far worse problem than the failure to understand what skills are needed is the failure to understand things like 1. what skills can be learned easily in a very short period of time so that focus on other necessary skills already existing can be employed in selecting candidates 2. why disqualifying candidates for stupidities that have nothing to do with their skills and other actually suitable qualities for the job is counterproductive --

The system is not terribly old, a Pentium Dual T2390, and this is with a GENERIC kernel. sysctl shows dev.atkbdc.0.%desc: Keyboard controller (i8042) dev.atkbdc.0.%driver: atkbdc dev.atkbdc.0.%location: handle=\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.PS2K dev.atkbdc.0.%pnpinfo: _HID=PNP0303 _UID=0 dev.atkbdc.0.%parent: acpi0 dev.atkbd.0.%desc: AT Keyboard dev.atkbd.0.%driver: atkbd dev.atkbd.0.%parent: atkbdc0 dmesg shows atkbdc0: Keyboard controller (i8042) port 0x60,0x64 irq 1 on acpi0 atkbd0: AT Keyboard irq 1 on atkbdc0 kbd0 at atkbd0 atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED] Sometimes ps/2 devices are actually USB ones so I might try fiddling with BIOS USB settings eg legacy mode to see that makes a difference.

Of course, rkhunter can be started in the second step. ran both, found nothing Back to theory on how the http-proxy jail 'swallowed' all the other jails including the basejail. I noticed that jail had a not so old bug in 2010 FBSD 8.0 which quote The jail(8) utility does not change the current working directory while imprisoning. The current working directory can be accessed by its descendants. /quote Reference: http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-10:04.jail.asc Given that EzJail uses a single basejail and links/mounts stuff in the child jails it would seem plausible (regression?) that somehow any jail could access other jails' files, or that _maybe_ in an event of crash the nullsfs mounts confuse the system somehow when fsck restores or the journal is recovered. Whatever the cause, it actually happened and I have already ruled out just about anything. It doesn't seem to have been an attack, it surely wasn't me, and EzJail author agrees it was not the EzJail scripts. So maybe nullfs and journaling, or crash + nullfs + journaling, could cause something like this to happen? Maybe journal has some confusion on restoring the nullfs view of the directories or something after bad crash like this one?? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
