Actually, the change breaks static linking for most programs that use one of the functions described in login_cap(3). This is because it adds login_setcrypt() to the existing spam in login_cap.c. This breaks limits, cron, crontab, inetd and sendmail in /usr/src alone. For dynamic linking, it only wastes time and space for the rarely actually used library.

buildworld dies "undefined reference to crypt_des"
The `building everything' stage of make buildworld is dying as below.
The following patch fix lets my buildworld get beyond that point (but
it's still running so I don't know if there are problems elsewhere).
(I don't think the patch is the right fix, but it solved my immediate
problem).

I think cdrecord can burn CDs in disk-at-once mode, and I think cdrdao (in ports/audio) can do it as well. As far as getting an image, you can use dd to dump off an image of a CD if it is a standard ISO9660 CD. (I've used that method to clone CDs before.) If it uses a blocksize other than 2048 bytes, though, you can't use dd with the SCSI cd driver. There may be CD rippers that can pull the data off into an image, though. I don't know for sure.

Further, I cannot see how the make world _could_ be broken! This is
strange, since I've never had the problem at all and have tested this
change in several places (5.0 and 4.1).

As it turns out, I've had additional discussions with Mike Meyer and Matt Jacob and Mike will probably be implementing MMC CD-R support. That ioctl will probably be a part of it. The functionality you're looking for is part of a larger issue of supporting CDDA reads in the cd(4) driver. That's needed to support AudioFS. (As well as to support doing a straight read off the CD when an audio CD is in there.) The main problem is that different drives use different commands to read audio data. MMC-compliant drives are one case, but there are a lot more drives out there that use varying methods to read audio data. It'll also take some tweaking to get the driver to support blocksizes that aren't multiples of 512 bytes.

For what it's worth, I'm in agreement. The 'kitchen sink' approach, although easy tends to make stuff hard to maintain, since you end up with namespace collisions, and you may end up with something you are not aware of that conflicts with routines you are using inside your program. (Think of the recent weak symbol discussion where the library is not using the correct 'global' symbol for read as an example.) > Why does crypt need to be in libc?

Is there any current policy on what libc is? It certainly isn't "libc" as required by C and hasn't been for almost ever but there needs to be some rational to its existence otherwise why not fold everything into libc and not bother with any other libraries! A growing libc makes static binaries grow and makes it more difficult to strip out unneeded functionality from a minimalist system install.

Kernel panic on fxp
I've been working for a while to try to figure out a problem I'm having here. I did a buildworld Sunday, and started to get kernel panics on boot when it probed fxp. So I removed fxp from my kernel and loaded it as a module (via loader.conf.local). It paniced. Then I unloaded the if_fxp.ko on startup, and it booted. But if I load the fxp module now, after a full boot, everything is great. Rebooting with fxp in the kernel or loading the module on boot will cause a panic *every* time. Thinking it might be build problem, I redid the build/install/kernel again on Monday, and am having the same problems. The panics only started on the upgrade from a -current dated sometime in early July. As you will see from below, this is an SMP machine (dual P200) with 256 Megs RAM. I am also using NETGRAPH to run PPPoE. Any ideas? Patrick The panic is: Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode mp_lock=0005; cpuid = 0; lapic.id= fault virtual address = 0x0 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc034e304 stack pointer = 0x10:0xc038bea8 frame pointer = 0x10=0xc038bebc code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPC 0, pres 1, def 32 1, gran 1 processor eflag = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPC=0 current process = 0 (swapper) interrupt mask = net tty bio cam <- SMP:XXX trap number = 12 panic: page fault To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Is anybody already working on this? If not, how do I get somebody > to work on it? ;-) Walter, There has been discussion and substantial interest in an encrypted swap interface on the freebsd-security mailing list in the last month or so. It was concluded that it was best to wait until Poul-Henning Kemp finished improved infrastructure, allowing the stacking of devices and layers above devices. This would allow an abstracted "encrypted device" interface, supporting everything from encrypted swap (using a randomized key) to generic protected file systems (one key per partition protecting the file system). This would give substantial protection for those of us with mobile computing devices (generally notebooks) that have a tendancy to walk off in airports, for example :-). As an interim solution, I believe we support swap over NFS, so could swap to a local CFS partition. We could also look at solutions that cause swap partitions to be blanked at shutdown, although that's an inferior solution to true encrypted swap, as one tends to trust strong crypto a little more than the ability to delete the contents of magnetic disk platters :-). So the short of it: infrastructure work is under way that should make encrypted swap an easy addition in the near future.

Review requested for /dev/random driver improvements!
Hi All Please could those of you with the time and computrons available please review the patches for the entropy (/dev/random) driver at http://people.freebsd.org/~markm/randomdev.patch. NOTES: This code may injure your cat, your computer and/or your bank account; be careful! The code puts the responsibility of reseeding the entropy state variables into a kernel thread; this should make userland a lot snappier. There is a FIFO constructed from TAILQ's to buffer the entropy harvesting; this should further insulate userland from the internal workings. All the crypto and hashing has been broken out into a separate file to make the whole driver less dependant on particular algorithms. There is an (unresolved) issue with panics when the module is unloaded; I'm working on that, but if you get to it before me, your help would be appreciated. Not included in here is a direct tap into the random event stream to allow folks who need to "distill bits" to do their own entropy processing. This is being worked on. Other comments, patches and suggestions welcome! Many thanks to Brian Feldman for the kthreads example, and others for answering my questions online!

Q: encrypted swap
Hi, Last week I was at USENIX where Niels Provos talked about his implementation of encrypted swap in OpenBSD. What is does is encrypting all memory that gets swapped out, keeping the encryption keys in memory. A test showed that all kinds of interesting things wind up in the swap partition; Niels himself found several passwords and his PGP passphrase on his own laptop.. So, I think having the option to use encrypted swap on FreeBSD would be nice. Is anybody already working on this? If not, how do I get somebody to work on it? ;-) Cheers, Walter. -- Walter Belgers "Si hoc signum legere potes, operis boni in rebus [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latinis alacribus et fructuosis potiri potes!"
