Re: Chromium Crashes
Yes this is the latest build (5th June) of Chromium. I suppose I could revert to the 18.0.1025.168 version using portdowngrade until this fault is fixed.

Thank you Arthur, and yes, trying to back up a partition that's currently mounted r/w using dd will almost certainly not produce the desired results. And of course, as you correctly note also, the target partition had best be at least as big as the source (and perhaps even identical in size). I don't care to take own my system to make backups... and don't believe that I should have to do so, and thus, this is one of the reasons why I would prefer to use something like cpio.

My own greybeard story: Back in the late 70s I was in college and had just switched major to CS. My college had a mainframe, but also a PDP-11 to which were connected a number of ASR-33s (Who could ever forget THOSE!) Students who asked could get an account on the PDP-11/RSTS-E system. I did, and started experimenting. I remember one day I really pissed off the specific Computer Center staff member who was assigned to the care & feeding of the RSTS-E system when her backup tape started whizzing back and forth for no apparent reason. At least it seemed that way to her, since she had only just mounted the tape and _she_ had not issued any console commands yet which would have caused the tape drive to do anything. :-) Needless to say RSTS-E was, apparently, not quite as sophisticated at that time as, say, UNIX, in terms of protecting physical I/O devices from general Joe-Schmo users. I never became friends with that specific Computer Center staff member, but I did end up as the only CS undergraduate who got a job in the campus Computer Center. Sorry. You talking about tapes just reminded of that incident, way back when. (Sigh. The good old daze when men were men, and the bits ran scared!)

If you're going to participate in the Linux zealots' propaganda that makes OSS defenders sound so ridiculous and delusional, so be it. Fact is, if Microsoft didn't deliver acceptable products, people wouldn't use them. Calling them a mafia is neither constructive (I invite you to look up the word mafia in a thesaurus), nor backed up by actual facts. OP is just going on a rampage about MS and intel. You want to follow his advice and advocate the exclusive use of alpha machines ? I guess we'll have to agree to disagree here. No, I'm not gonna use alphas. And no, I'm not going to let a random person (hey, choice words !) call intel or MS a mafia just because he's on a zealot crusade. You might want to take a minute to consider the contributions of both to computing. Without MS (and IBM amongst others) it's possible that computing would never have reached such an audience as it has. So I'm going with the (possibly false) assumption that without MS and other major actors, not many people would use computers nowadays. All this magnificent OSS wouldn't be of much use then. After all, who would need FreeBSD servers to host web sites that had neither visitors nor purpose ? One might see MS as the ultimate evil, yet they're strongly implemented in corporate IT. One might wonder why, before engaging in a crusade, and brandishing empty words as their weapons. I invite you to re-read OP's post and highlight what in "mafiaware", "wintel" and "microshaft" you find constructive. I also invite you to read all his points about why exactly intel is an "overgrown ugly mess". I regret to report I have found none, might you point them out for me ? Now, I shall leave you to read my other posts on this "secure boot" topic, that you might quit claiming I have nothing to contribute.___ 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"

[ANN] tperimeter 1.113 Released And Available
'tperimeter' Version 1.113 is released and available at:
http://www.tundraware.com/Software/tperimeter/
The last public release was 1.112
What's New
--
Changed the wrapper file rebuild logic to delete outstanding access
requests independently of how often the script is run (either by
cron, or manually). This means that the 'cron' frequency now
determines the average waiting time before a user's request is
fulfilled. The '${DURATION}' variable in 'rebuild-hosts.allow.sh'
sets how long access will be permitted (The default value is 10
minutes).
Minor documentation updates, typo fixes, and housekeeping.
What Is 'tperimeter'?
-
Have you ever been away from the office and needed, say, ssh access to
your system? Ooops - you can't do that because in your zealous pursuit
of security, you set your TCP wrappers to prevent outside access to all
but a select group of hosts. Worse still, everywhere you go, your local
IP address changes so there is no practical way to open up the wrappers
for this situation.
'tperimeter' is a dynamic TCP wrapper control system that gives you
(limited) remote control of your TCP wrapper configuration. It does this
via a web interface that you've (hopefully) secured with https/SSL. You
just log in, specify your current IP address and one of the services you
want to access. 'tperimeter' will then briefly open a hole in your
wrappers long enough to let you in. It then automatically closes the
hole again. Voila! Remote access to your system, wherever you are. You
get much of the facility of a VPN or so-called "port knocking" without
most of the aggravation. As a side benefit, 'tperimeter' will also
simplify management of your standard /etc/hosts.allow TCP wrapper
control file.
'tperimeter' is written in python, shell script, and html. It is very
small and easy to maintain. It was developed and tested on FreeBSD 4.x/8.x,
and apache 1.x/2.x, but should run with very minor (or no) modification on
most Unix-like systems like Linux or Mac OS X hosts. It comes complete
with documentation in html, pdf, dvi, and Postscript formats. There is
no licensing fee for any use, personal, commercial, government,
or institutional.

The bottom line is this... I know how to use cpio, and would like to use it to create a complete and _bootable_ backup of my main system disk. (My main system disk has only one BIOS partition, and that is sub-divided into the usual set of FreeBSD partitions, you know, /, /dev, /tmp, /usr, /var, /usr/compat/linux/proc, and /var/named/dev.) As far as I know, the only way guaranteed to preserve metadata is dump/restore. See previous (not necessarily recent) discussion (on this list, and possibly in the Handbook) for more information. The rsync port has a flags option. I haven't tried it for a full backup. Even if it can copy all filesystem attributes like dump, there are still non-filesystem things needed for booting that neither can copy, like partition tables and boot blocks. There's a BFI (brute force and ignorance) way of doing it in the base system - dd. Provided your system disk is quiescent (ideally when running from a live CD or all partitions mounted read-only, otherwise pray to the deity of your choice) and the backup disk is a) at least as large as the system disk, and b) has the same sector size, then a simple dd from the system disk to the backup should work. [Greybeard war story:] Going back about 25-30 years, a friend of mine was responsible for running the Unix systems in an EE department of a UK university.

It took forever, but it was the student's time that was wasted, not his.

Problems with portupgrade libreoffice
FreeBSD 9 on x86_64. I am in the process of doing a portupgrade on libreoffice (from 3.4.4 to 3.5.2.5). During the build it has (so far) errored out 4 times, in the following modules: vcl framework sfx2 tail_build Each time, it told me to go into the subdirectory, do a gmake clean and a gmake -r there, then return to the top level and rerun make. This I duly did, but to my surprise, each time I ran the gmake -r, it completed successfully. When the top-level make finally succeeds, I intend simply to rerun the portupgrade, on the theory that seeing everything already made, it will just do the uninstall/reinstall, sort out the dependencies and so forth. Q1) Is this a sensible approach? Q2) Has anyone else seen this?

Re: how to filter network by MAC and IP at the same time
Thanks very much,
According to your description , I changed my firewall settings ,
(
Because I already tried add the "via em0" or "via em1", it's not working,
so I remove it ,
my FreeBSD is WAN is em0 ,LAN is em1
)
and made it like this below
and I still cannot download things through it , and i found the result
Seems some place still not working properly , the traffic has been block by
some reason!

Re: how to filter network by MAC and IP at the same time
hi Bill,
afaik, in your case the packets checked twice against the ipfw-rules - once
for the layer2-filtering part and 2nd time for the ip-filtering part.
1st enable filtering on ethernet demux/eth. output frame:
# sysctl net.link.ether.ipfw=1
then start your fw-script:
# -- sniplet from fw-script -- #
iif="em0"
ip_client="192.168.123.45"
ether_client="88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd"
ether_broadcast="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff"
${fwcmd} add 10 pass MAC ${ether_broadcast} ${ether_client} via ${iif}
${fwcmd} add 20 pass MAC any ${ether_client} via ${iif}
${fwcmd} add 21 pass MAC ${ether_client} any via ${iif}
${fwcmd} add 30 pass ip from ${ip_client} to any via ${iif}
${fwcmd} add 31 pass ip from any to ${ip_client} via ${iif}
# -- sniplet from fw-script -- #
this results in:
# ipfw show
00010 128 allow ip from any to any MAC ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff \
88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd via em0
00020 74 9564 allow ip from any to any MAC any 88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd via em0
00021 87 85336 allow ip from any to any MAC 88:99:aa:bb:cc:dd any via em0
00030 74 9564 allow ip from 192.168.123.45 to any via em0
00031 86 85290 allow ip from any to 192.168.123.45 via em0
65535 487 35078 deny ip from any to any
Most of this logic is described in the section "PACKET FLOW" section in man
ipfw.
"Note that as packets flow through the stack, headers can be stripped or
added to it, and so they may or may not be available for inspection.
E.g., incoming packets will include the MAC header when ipfw is invoked
from ether_demux(), but the same packets will have the MAC header
stripped off when ipfw is invoked from ip_input() or ip6_input()."
