It depends what you mean by SFTP. If you mean the SSH sub-system (file transfer tunnelled over SSH using a client which works like the FTP client), then there is no practical difference in security compared to scp(1). sftp(1) and scp(1) are very similar over the wire and server-side: it's just the client interface that's different. On the other hand, if you mean crusty old FTP tarted up with some SSL trappings -- which should really be called FTPS, but lots of people are confused about the naming -- then *run away*. It may run over SSL, but it has all of the design flaws of regular FTP plus the fact that it's over SSL means you can't even use firewall proxies like ftp-proxy(8). If you want a means of secure upload that can be used natively from windows, try WebDAV. You can, in theory, mount a WebDAV directory as a partition in Windows, although this is a lot more painful than it needs to be. (As they say: with Windows, failure is not an option). The same thing on a Mac works beautifully, but then it's Unix already and you can just use sftp or scp natively from Terminal.app. See the appendix to the SVN manual for some useful hints: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.webdav Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matt...@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Routing Question
I have several servers with one ethernet interface. Currently it is connected via a WAN to the internet. We are in the midst of switching to a different provider. I would like to be able to operate with both temporarily until all the users/services get switched. The new circuit is in and working. I would like somehow to configure the system (I have pf in use) to be able to detect the packets that come from a specific router and route the return packets back through it. The other network would be the default. PF's route_to will return the packets to the proper router, but I have not been able to figure out which ones those would be. The source IP address can be any on either network and its highly likely that we will see packets from the same source network on both at the same time. The only distinction I see in the input packets between the two paths is the MAC address of the router. I don't see any way in pf or the system to use that to affect the return path though.___ 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"

I would say that depends on what software the clients want to use. FileZilla works nicely with sftp, and is available on Windows, OS X, and I presume other *nix platforms (I'm a CLI guy so only have used it enough to be sure it works). One can also use the sshfs to provide the ability to mount remote file systems over an ssh connection. This requires nothing on the file server side other than working ssh. I haven't tried this on FreeBSD. On Linux it requires kernel support of fuse, user level file system. There's no reason one couldn't use both sftp and scp/sshfs. We generally don't allow any ssh password access, but require authorized_keys. In a few cases where the client absolutely insists on allowing password authentication, we lock it down to a limited set of IP addresses. We have been able to get many clients to use OpenVPN to make their connections which makes life easier after the initial setup as all connections are through the OpenVPN tunnel so we don't have to allow outside ssh access.

At least you need one machine with Internet connection to get the ports update, e. g. using "portsnap fetch extract" or "make update" (using csup). Once done, tar cf ports.tar /usr/ports and transfer the file to the server without Internet connection; finally extract it there.

Wow that's an old release.
The standard home directory is in:
/usr/home/{username}
or it's equivalent
/home/{username}
You have /homes not /home in your error message which could be the cause.
You can also make sure the directory exists and has the correct permissions.

IPFW and ipa
Hi all,
Since FreeBSD 4.4, I have been using ipa(1.3.6) to do bandwidth accounting.
Since upgrading to FreeBSD 8, I now get log messages saying that the ipfw
rules do not exist:
Example (one example of hundreds doing the same thing):
Aug 26 07:32:59 constellation ipa[2940]: rule rulename.ipa: 10017.0 doesn't
exist in IPFW kernel table
Aug 26 07:32:59 constellation ipa[2940]: rule rulename.ipa: 10017.1 doesn't
exist in IPFW kernel table
The ipfw rule does exist:
#ipfw -a list
10017 4826 4903117 count ip from nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn to any via bge0
10017 4233655962 count ip from any to nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn via bge0
The /usr/local/etc/ipa.conf rule looks like so:
rule rulename.ipa {
ipfw = 10017 10017.1
info = rulename bandwidth
}
The ipa database is empty:

Howto create FAT32 bootable USB device with gpart?
Trying to create a bootable USB device (memory stick) with gpart - and failed. I need those USB mem sticks for BIOS flashing purposes on an older main PCB, utilizing FreeDOS. The old BIOS is capable of booting off from USB mem sticks, since I booted and installed FreeBSD via this method. But the creation of a bootable FreeDOS USB mem stick failed. I have FreeBSD 9.0 as a mastering operating system and 8 GB sticks. These are the boundary conditions. Is there any way to perform this task with gpart? Thanks in advance.

When printing via a method that bypasses CUPS (using netcat), it prints just fine -- and does not fit within the confines of the top and bottom margins that are cutting off the content when printing via CUPS. The PDF does extend outside of what might be considered "reasonable" margins for something like an interoffice memo, but does not run all the way to the edges of the paper; CUPS just doesn't want to print as far "north" and "south" as the PDF's content goes, evidently. > > I don't know diddly-squat about CUPS, but this sounds an awful lot like > what happens when a printer has 'letter' paper loaded, but has been told > that it has size 'A4' paper.

This has been addressed in other discussion in this thread. It is likely pdf2ps (part of ghostscript) that is doing the translation to PostScript; the other alternative is pdftops. Both of them provide a complete PostScript file, with all content on the page, but when either the PDF or the PS output of either of those tools is printed using CUPS the same problem arises. Using pdf2ps to produce PS output, which is then sent to the printer using netcat, produces a neatly printed page with no problems, however -- other than the minor problem that I'm using netcat to send jobs to my printer rather than a front end for a proper printing queue. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpB9LZu95btm.pgp Description: PGP signature

Next time, you will have to reboot in order > to make a mouse pointer position change visible. :-) Thanks for all the suggestions. Here is where things stand: I am still having the same problem since upgrading to 8.1-STABLE. First, what has changed. Then a clarification of the problem. xterm has changed: now 2.6.1 was 2.5.3 xorg has changed: now 7.5 was 7.3 xorg-server has changed: now 1.7.5,1 was 1.6.1,1 xf86-input-keyboard: now 1.4.0 was 1.3.2_2 xf86-input-mouse: now 1.5.0 was 1.4.0_6 hal has changed: now 0.5.14_8 was 0.5.13_12 kernel has changed: now 8.1-STABLE was 8.0-STABLE Note that open-motif _has_ _not_ _changed_ for some time. The problem is not in the method of shutting down my Xorg session. The problem is not the disappearance of my arrow cursor/pointer per se, although that may be a symptom of the underlying problem. The problem is that I am unable (now) to use open-motif through no change in my configs or my settings. Something has changed in the underlying applications, or system libraries, or kernel. In my use of open-motif, I use and depend on mouse focus. This means that when I move my mouse, the xterm I was in looses focus and the xterm into which I move my mouse pointer gains focus. This feature is also present in TWM, but open-motif (MWM) gives me the additional feature that the window having focus is also raised to the top - above all other windows/applications. This feature is critical for me and why I prefer using open-motif. When I first experienced this bug, all I could do at that point was to exit my xorg session (various folks have helped make that more "normal"). I have modified my .xinitrc file to include: /usr/local/bin/setxkbmap -option "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" and now Ctrl/Alt/BS sequence works as it used to in the "old days". I have commented out ServerFlags section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and I have rebooted my workstation. Both hald and dbus are still enabled in my /etc/rc.conf file. Nothing has changed. When I run open-motif, I still experience the crippling loss of mouse focus when I enter the sequence Shift/Btn3Click. The prevents me from using _any_ of my other windows or xterms or applications since I can no longer select them (give them focus). Recall this setting in my ~/.mwmrc file: Shiftwindow f.minimize OTOH _everything_ works in /usr/local/bin/twm. I much prefer the features of MWM compared to TWM. I don't want to relearn another window manager just because of this problem, and I'd rather not reassign my f.minimize feature to a difference key and mouse sequence, since some day, some application may require me to enter Shift/Btn3Click which would effectively ruin that Xorg session. Since TWM works and the xterms therein also work just fine, I doubt that xterm is at fault. I also hold open-motif blameless since it has not changed in years. I think something in Xorg or one of its support modules is not properly registering the Shift/Btn3Click event to the xorg-server, or that xorg-server has changed so that this particular event causes my pointer focus to disappear.

Base system utilities generally don't have a separate version number -- other than the SVN revision numbers of their source code files. Just track them by the version of the OS. Hmmm... if you're asking about the ipfw1 -> ipfw2 update, that is pretty ancient history now. AFAIR it was current around 5.3-RELEASE. Maybe even earlier. All those changes were merged into the base system a long time ago now, and you can safely assume that you're on ipfw2. There have been some subsequent changes to ipfw which may involve modified ways of doing certain things -- I'm thinking of the in-kernel NAT features for example. This sort of change is best tracked through the Release Notes for new FreeBSD versions.

Do you know if there is anything I can do on freebsd to reduce its speed/noise?
