Hackers Documentation
A couple of people on this list came to an agreement that hackers is appropriately understood as being for developers. Well. I made my decision to subscribe based on the documentation here: http://tinyurl.com/623qw Namely: freebsd-hackers General technical discussion Googling hackers gives me 42.4 million hits. Wikipedia gives: * Hacker (computing) has a spectrum of meanings: o Hacker (computer security), someone who breaks computer and network security o Hacker (free and open source software), a programmer in the free software and open source movement o Hacker (hobbyist), an enthusiastic home computer hobbyist. Hmm.. I think I at very least belong to that third category. Personally, I take issue with the first defintion, but the facts are that most laypersons understand hackers in that way. I would say it is a cracker who breaks into a computer and not a hacker. Somebody instilled this idea in me, I forget who. Anyway. I won't belabor this point further here.

Close to implausible, perhaps? That would indeed be the case, unless you truly are longing for a major workout, either with mergemaster et al, or both with mergemaster and the ports. The former case, which assumes you don't have many ports installed, is often a no-brainer: install a fresh system. The latter case may be somewhat more complicated: install a fresh system for the least effort on your side, or go the update route if you need to keep your system up and usable during the process. I didn't really understand that and I don't understand why I am a bad person for spamming my idiotic thoughts on the matter, but in any case this is moot because I am up an runing RELENG_6_3 and making kernel after editing the stable-supfiles RELENG_6_3 to RELENG_7 let's all cross our fingers that communication has just happened. I should note that I always took the update trail, and never regretted it afterwards (well, if only so slightly). For instance, my workstation lived through 5.2.1-R, 6.2-R, RELENG_6, and finally RELENG_7, all with the aid of cvsup. The process is straightforward, well-designed and easily executed (thanks to the developers), but problems often pop-up with ports (especially such messy ones as Gnome, etc) which take lots of time to correct. I am feeling better about cvsup and even mergemaster nowadays. Thank you very much for your support. So, in summary, a sane person should probably go with clean system update. Is that what I am doing? Umm.. maybe not. I have all these errors that I don't understand and that people ignore but I have a browser and a terminal, so I feel like a functioning pile of carbon compounds.

Therefore I'm afraid I have to agree with Tom: Your questions should better go to the questions list. ergo: because obviously I am a flumming idiot. I thought hacker was something you took eucalyptus fro. I realized that make delete-old and make delete-old-libs are both part of the cannonical, I guess because I am going RELENG_6_3 to RELENG_7 I always use make delete-old, as instructed in the /usr/src/UPDATING file, and it has never bitten me. Please have a look at that file; the important part starts at the section titled To rebuild everything. Actually, after composing this I kicked myself, because /usr/src/Makefile has clearly instructed me to do make delete-old after make installworld and I think I will throw caution to the wind and append -U to my subsequent mergemaster followed by make delete-old-libs On that note, was I given misinformation when I was advised that it would be impossible to upgrade RELENG_6_2 directly to RELENG_7 ? Nothing is impossible!, as Dr. Farnsworth from the Futurama series used to say. :-) Oh well. Water under the bridge. I expect to someday edit this to RELENG_7_1 or the like when freebsd.org says so and following the instructions in /usr/src/Makefile again. But seriously ... I think going from 6.2 to 7.0 should work fine. However, the official notion is that updates across major versions have to be supported only for the latest stable release. Any other configurations might work, but it's not guaranteed. If it fails, you're not expected to complain or ask for help, but instead try the officially supported way (i.e. first update to the latest stable on your existing branch, then update across the major version boundary). If that still fails, you may complain and ask for help. Interesting. No. Fascinitating. Captian Kirk, I believe this star will supernova in approximately 12 days, 13 hours, 34 minutes and 23.3425 seconds. Note that it is IMPORTANT to rebuild *all* of your ports when you update from 6.x to 7.x. (This holds true for any major version update.) If you don't do this, you will get library dependency collisions, i.e. port A uses libc.so.7 and depends on port B, but port B still links against the older libc.so.6. Things will break sooner or later. That's why you should rebuild *all* ports after updating to 7.x. (You can keep older ports only if you are absolutely sure that they are not part of any dependencies, and never will be.) My habit is to run cvsup standard-supfile followed by cvsup ports-supfile. IS that a dumb thing to do? In your previous mail you mentioned: Things work, but dmesg has errors, Would you please tell us what those errors are?

nessus gtk yields empty scan
several options to scan for ports. There is the built-in wrapper for NMAP, widely acknowledged as the best port scanner around. There is also an internal scanner and a custom ping scan. As with plug-in selection, port scanning is very dependent on the situation. For a simple scan, the internal sync scan using default parameters with pings enabled, found on the Perf tab of the Unix GUI and the Port scan tab of NessusWX, is sufficient. Figures 8 and 9, below, show the internal SYN scan option using NessusWX and the Unix GUI client, respectively: Figure 8: Configuring the internal SYN scan for a simple port scan on NessusWX Figure 8: Configuring the internal SYN scan for a simple port scan on NessusWX Figure 9: Configuring the internal SYN scan for a simple port scan on the Unix Client Figure 9: Configuring the internal SYN scan for a simple port scan on the Unix Client 4.3 Identify targets The final task is to identify your targets. This is done on the targets tab. Targets can be specified as a single IP Address, as a subnet or as a range of IP addresses. I normally try to break them down into logical groups. It is typically easier to deal with smaller groups at one time. Figures 10 and 11 show how to select targets in both client environments: Figure 10: Specifying Targets in the Unix GUI Figure 10: Specifying Targets in the Unix GUI Figure 11: Target Selection in NessusWX Figure 11: Target Selection in NessusWX 4.4 Start a scan With your Nessus client and server in hand you are ready to scan systems. To start a scan in the Unix GUI just click Start Scan at the bottom of the window. In NessusWX, right click the desired session and select Execute. Properly used, Nessus can and will pinpoint problems and provide solutions. However, misused it can and will crash systems, cause the loss of data, and possibly cost you your job. As with anything powerful, there comes risk and responsibilities. Scanned systems sometimes will crash. Don't scan any system without permission. I suggest your first scan be against your own isolated test system. Future articles will lead you thorough a scan, sort out false positives and talk about stealth and firewall scanning. Figures 12, 13 and 14 show a scan using NessusWX. Figure 12: Starting a scan in NessusWX Figure 12: Starting a scan in NessusWX Figure 13: Starting a scan in NessusWX Figure 13: Starting a scan in NessusWX Figure 14: NessusWX scan in Progress Figure 14: NessusWX scan in Progress 5.0 Conclusion Nessus is an excellent tool that will greatly aid your ability to test and discover known security problems. As has been mentioned several times in this article, the power that Nessus gives you should be used wisely as it can render production systems unavailable with some of the more dangerous plus-ins.

The above story notes that American businesses are in arears with respect to properly upgrading the wireless routers that they use for financial processing. So how can I tell if this card can't really support WEP or it's the driver that can't support it? WEP is always supported. The WEP capability bit means the driver uses the hardware.

Well, maybe. But consider the context: they're looking at moving from

GNU/Linux distro, so there's a good chance they'ev seen more than just

unfounded and i will shut up {:}
If you feel you have to mention it, then you should really talk about
the tools, not the formats: GNU/Linux distros tend to use rpm* or apt*
tools for installing and managing software packages, whereas FreeBSD
uses the pkg* tools.

Just out of curiosity, where do you expect to find software for
FreeBSD in an rpm format? I don't think they exist, so *avoiding* them
wont' be a problem. Possibly wasting time looking for them might be,
but again, that seems really unlikely given the context, so there are
more important things to suggest they not waste time on, like
wandering how they upgrade just part of the base system.

You should really, really upgrade to 7.

It seems that Juniper favors the even number FreeBSD's. Only because 5 was a dog. They probably stuck with 4 for a while, then switched to 6 once they had ascertained that it was significantly more stable than 5. I would be surprised if they skipped 7.

Re: FreeBSD hacker 101
Aren't the ports collection something that makes freeBSD stand out very differently than linux? also, no rpm, and the pkg_add utility. updating operating system with cvsup? buildworld? all these things are different starkly, or are they not?

Building toochains, submitting patches etc or i just follow most of the conventions in the Linux kernel development community? I think it's nothing that different. A typical way is that you find something you are not happy with, i.e. what you think FreeBSD is lacking of, do some proof of concept work, discuss it in the mailing list, refine your work, submit patch, become a committer :-) The only difference as far as I can tell is that FreeBSD tends to have stricter code style guidelines (the only exceptions are what we call vendor code which is maintained outside, this includes toolchains, device drivers that is supported by vendors, in order to make future upgrades easier). However, unlike some other bad code style guidelines, FreeBSD's coding style is very well documented (as in style(9)), and following the guideline will make your code easier to read (e.g. think about how to find the implementation with grep(1)? Yes, grep ^function.). We eager to see contributions from all aspects, but if you have no idea for your own, or is looking for something to give a shot, you can check out our projects idea page at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/ideas/ . Small contributions, like making more documentation about various sysctl's, etc. are more suitable for those who just started to learn about the code and can not invest a lot of whole bunch of time on FreeBSD (yet), are welcomed as well. Another good start is to query our PR database ( http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi ) and see if there is something you have interest, but there is no fix, or there is a fix but stayed for a long time and push them.

TeRReF: No, no. Unscrewing will ruin the HD for sure.

which should disable moused on the /dev/psm0 port but leave it running

Those are just devices, not moused's. If you ps axw | grep moused you
can see the moused processes, one for each device.
i understand that, but i was giving this information to beat the dead
horse about the fact that psm0 for lack of a better guess is the touchpad,
while the information on ums0 matches brandnames printed on my USB mouse
(in addition to it being labeled USB)
here is an online photo album with 3 pictures showing this information:
http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/mousie/index.vhtml
in case yer interested {:)
BTW, are you testing this at the console rather than in X11? Get it
working
there first, as there are additional settings which could affect things
once you start X.
}gnome fires up on startup.. umm.. i have to control backspace out or
}something? {:P i am a little newbie-ish on some of this stuff, sorry.
My replies will be a bit sporadic now - got to have breakfast and get on
with the day.
Ok, let's determine that there is only one moused running to start with
using the ps method above and worry about X later. If you can get it down
to one moused at boot you will be half way there. If you find the touchpad
still operates after that, then X is going to the psm device direct.
oh jeez

it's probably fine that you are going to go sporadic on me for
the moment because i don't feel like rebooting at the moment.

Re: Synaptics
I have a USB mouse and I want to disable my touchpad.

USB mouse the only way to move my gnome pointer (i hope
i shouldn't have tried the gnome list, but this seems
sort of hardware-y)
at the command line this operation was successsful:
killall moused
moused -p /dev/ums0
here is a process display (prompt is kv_bsd#)
kv_bsd# ps -A | grep moused
527 ?? Ss 0:02.02 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I

the goal here, is to getting this working on startup. we tried
editing a config file catted below:
kv_bsd# cat /etc/rc.conf

but that caused the touchpad to be dominant, i.e. the USB
mouse no longer works at all.
(an aside.. before someone tells me to do it in the
BIOS, i don't think i can. however, i have taken pictures
of all the windows of my BIOS here:
http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/fsck/bios/index.vhtml)
tried this:
echo /usr/bin/killall moused ; sleep 1 ; /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/usbmouse
here is some dmesg info:
kv_bsd# dmesg | grep mouse
psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0
kv_bsd#
what follows is cut from dmesg
psm0: PS/2 Mouse irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0
more dmesg.. that's the mousie i want right there
ums0: vendor 0x Macally Optigo USB Mouse, rev 1.10/6.30, addr 2, iclass
3/1
ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir.
and this didn't work either:
System-Preferences-Sessions
THen the Startup Programs tab, the Add button and then add this one:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/usbmouse
more things i tried
kv_bsd# ps -A | grep mouse
529 ?? Is 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I
/var/run/mou
959 p0 I+ 0:00.01 vi /usr/local/etc/rc.d/usbmouse
