This means you cannot actually mount it, but use a program to control its actions. b) The camera can use both modes, as decribed in a) as well as a direct access mode; use the camera's setting to switch to the USB storage mode.

Clarification: Jail -vs- Chroot
Hi folks, I'm reading about jails and chroot, and I'm not clear about the differences so I'm hoping someone can clarify this for me. Here's what I think is correct: 1.) FreeBSD has both chroot capability as well as jail capability. 2.) Only FreeBSD has true, jail functionality? Yes?...No? 3.) When reading something (book, article, etc.), is there a way to determine if the author is, in fact, talking about truly a jail or are they really just referring to a chroot environment? For example, I have a book (Preventing web attacks with Apache) that says: Chroot is short for change root and essentially allows you to run programs in a protected or jailed environment. The main benefit of a chroot jail is that the jail will limit the portion of the file system the daemon can see to the root directory of the jail. Additionally, since the jail only needs to support Apache, the programs available in the jail can be extremely limited. 4.) Jail is the more secure of the two options? 5.) When would you typically use a jail -vs- a chroot? The new, 2nd edition of Absolute FreeBSD says: Chrooting is useful for web servers that have multiple clients on one machine—that is, web servers with many virtual hosts. Comments??? Suggestions???

Re: Clarification: Jail -vs- Chroot
Hi, 1.) FreeBSD has both chroot capability as well as jail capability. Yes, it has both of them. You still want to use chroot, also it is kind of 'part' of a jail (technically perhaps it's implemented separately). 2.) Only FreeBSD has true, jail functionality? Yes?...No? In Solaris, you have zones, and there are several projects to do the same thing with Linux (Linux-vserver etc). 3.) When reading something (book, article, etc.), is there a way to determine if the author is, in fact, talking about truly a jail or are they really just referring to a chroot environment? For example, I have a book (Preventing web attacks with Apache) that says: Chroot is short for change root and essentially allows you to run programs in a protected or jailed environment. The main benefit of a chroot jail is that the jail will limit the portion of the file system the daemon can see to the root directory of the jail. Additionally, since the jail only needs to support Apache, the programs available in the jail can be extremely limited. Usually, only FreeBSD-specific books will talk about jails, as chroot is the generic Unix-way for that. Anyway, in many cases you can use a jail for the same things a chroot-environment is talked about. In this case, I think he's really talking about a chroot, as he's only talking about the file system, not the network etc. 4.) Jail is the more secure of the two options? I cannot really answer this, but a jail is the more separated way. So, I would say, a jail is more secure. If the extras of a jail are not needed, it is perhaps more insecure, as there are more points to break into theu system. But, don't rely on my answer, I never looked at the kernel-side of jails the very technical way. 5.) When would you typically use a jail -vs- a chroot? The new, 2nd edition of Absolute FreeBSD says: Chrooting is useful for web servers that have multiple clients on one machine—that is, web servers with many virtual hosts. On the FreeBSD-machines I manage, I use chroot for the services that are not that security-relevant or can easily be separated, i.e. on some distributions you can put your apache or bind easily into a chroot-environment. Also, a chroot-environment can have other targets than a jail, e.g. if you only want to have another file system-visibility instead of a new jail as you do when you have to start with a live-cd into a non-booting system.

login.conf: passwordtime not enforced?
Hi, after reading some docs about hardening freebsd installations, I decided to enforce password expiration after 90days. I've added the corresponding line to /etc/login.conf and ... after quite some time (way more than 3 months already!) nothing happens ... Just googled around, and noticed this functionality seems to be absent from the base system ... only passwd(1) seems to honor this value, but truth is, when I need to use passwd(1) it's because I want to change the password myself! There is a post that mentions that having blowfish (instead of md5) as a 'passwd_format' works ... http://www.daemonforums.org/showpost.php?s=41d1e0ba423c94357afe805dbe0b2730p=17826postcount=5 However, I wonder if it worked for the author of the post, only because he manually set the password expiry date using 'pw usermod [username] -p [date]' Any ideas on how to enforce this?

Dell SAS5/IR
Hi all, I was attempiting to restage a server last night to no avail. It is a Dell 860 with a LSI SAS (Dell SAS5/SI) controller. This was happening when I was dumping the filesystems from a USB memory stick (da1s1) to the hard drive (Seagate 76 GIG SAS - da0s1). Can anyone tell me if they have seen this before? or if it is a Hard disk problem, or a problem with the SAS controller, or is it a FreeBSD problem? I ahve donwloaded the latest SAS firmware and installed it, ran the Dell 32 Bit diags, ran the drive diagnostics, etc etc and everything passes with no errors. I simply cant install dumps, or install a fresh copy of freebsd.

Re: Clarification: Jail -vs- Chroot
Ed Flecko wrote: Hi folks, I'm reading about jails and chroot, and I'm not clear about the differences so I'm hoping someone can clarify this for me. Here's what I think is correct: 1.) FreeBSD has both chroot capability as well as jail capability. 2.) Only FreeBSD has true, jail functionality? Yes?...No? 3.) When reading something (book, article, etc.), is there a way to determine if the author is, in fact, talking about truly a jail or are they really just referring to a chroot environment? For example, I have a book (Preventing web attacks with Apache) that says: Chroot is short for change root and essentially allows you to run programs in a protected or jailed environment. The main benefit of a chroot jail is that the jail will limit the portion of the file system the daemon can see to the root directory of the jail. Additionally, since the jail only needs to support Apache, the programs available in the jail can be extremely limited. 4.) Jail is the more secure of the two options? 5.) When would you typically use a jail -vs- a chroot? The new, 2nd edition of Absolute FreeBSD says: Chrooting is useful for web servers that have multiple clients on one machine—that is, web servers with many virtual hosts. Comments??? Suggestions??? Thank you! Ed Well let me take a shot at this. First of all we are only talking about the FreeBSD operating system. The ability to chroot a directory tree has been available since RELEASES 2.0. The jail utility first appeared in RELEASE 4.0. The jail utility is just a basic effort to automate the building and administration of an chrooted directory tree which is pretty much useless unless it contains a complete copy of the Freebsd operating system binaries. The major short coming of the jail command jail system is each jail has it's own copy of the hosts running system binaries. Freebsd reserves a limited number of control structures for storing files and directories, called inodes. Creating a few jails consumes many of these valuable inodes, eventually preventing the creation of new jails and new files on the host. Worst yet is each jail loads it's own copy of it's running binaries into memory which causes thrashing on the swap device as memory pages are swapped in and out as the limited memory is shared between the host and jails. Besides consuming resources and creating performance degradation, this also causes a major administration headache when wanting to update the host running system, because the host and the jails all have to be running the same RELEASE version. Now with some considerable hand jobbing per the jail section of the handbook, a jail environment can be created where by a single copy of the jailed running binaries are shared among all the jails. But this still leaves you with an administration nightmare as the number of jails deployed grows past 5. Now there are some ports in the port system that are utility wrappers around the jail command that tries to address this administration nightmare. My experience with these are they are very poorly documented and you really need to have a good grasp on how jails work and network ip address usage before they are useful. Their easy of use quickly evaporates as the number of jails deployed reaches 10. The next generation of a jail utility for the deployment of a large number of jails is in project phase right now. Keep checking the ports system for qjail. Now about what to run in a jail. Well since each jail is like a complete stand-a-lone operating system, you can populate it with any application you want. The real limitation is how is that jail going to gain public internet access so the domain name of your apache website can be found and accessed. A static ip address is pretty much required, though with some creative ip address assignments this can be circumvented. Thats a whole other subject area. ___ 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
