When I use the term host, I'm referring to what many would call a personal workstation or personal computer. If you have more than one person who has shell access to a computer, then you no longer have a host. You have a server. Sure, you may not think of it that way, but that's what it is. Servers are a completely different ballgame, and the decisions you make regarding protecting them have everything to do with who has access to what. The servers that I referenced in my post have one person with root access - me - and one user - the owners. No one else has access. So, it's a great deal easier for me to lock down the boxes than it is, for example, here at work, where *many* people have shell access and more than one have root access through sudo or even su. Sorry for bikeshedding here, since it's just a matter of terminology, but... Hosts used to be multi-user machines for a long time, and actually still are. Most RFCs, including newer ones, refer to hosts and mean nodes on the net. They don't care whether the hosts are workstations used by a single or few user(s), or big multi-user machines with hundreds of shell accounts. Server is merely the role a program assumes when it waits passively for requests from clients. Servers run on hosts, regardless of the number of users on those hosts (ranging from 0 to very high). Obviously, the security implications vary considerably if you have to host many user accounts, esp. on hosts used by mission critical server programs. ;) And of course, the bikeshed has to be painted... red! :) Regards, -cpghost.

file/directory names with space in between
Hi,
I need to work on some files and directories that have spaces in them like:
interesting story\2008 March\{story one,story two}.
When using find with -exec, part of the file/directory name will be
missing and therefore lead to error.
What should I do to put escape key in there to include full names?

Re: Duplicate existing FreeBSD Server in VM
DAve wrote: Terry Sposato wrote: Hi, I have just installed a machine and have it setup running a web based CRM solution. I want to have an exact duplicate of this machine running as a VM for redundancy reasons. What is the best way to go about getting this exact machine transferred to the VM? Both machines exist on the same network and will be able to talk to each other, I have been thinking of a couple of different ways to get all my data across which is the easy part, but I want to match everything that is installed, base system, ports etc. Anyone have any ideas or point me into the right direction? You can use dump over ssh easily enough, here are my notes from using it to create multiple production machines from a single test server. There are better ways I am sure, but this is quick and easy if you are familiar with FreeBSD installs. Note #1 In the first comment line I say to boot the live file system CD, that is what you would do in the VM, just as you would normally boot an installer CD, but use a Live filesystem CD instead. Note #2 I used several slices with sizes some may not agree with. It was a choice we made for various reasons, the servers have been running for three years. You may have more or less slices of varying sizes, adjust the steps below to your preferences. Note #3 You will need to check and WRITE DOWN which slice is which mount point, /, /var, /usr and so on. Your disks may be different if you choose not to create a seperate /tmp, or /var. I'll be out of the office for a week, but you can try and adjust as needed, it won't hurt anything and you can always overwrite and try again. WRITE IT DOWN. Works for us, I've used it several times, adjusting as needed for the system I am cloning.

I looked at the link. It seems that it's not desirable to make a filesystem larger than 2TB with 5.2.1. How about 6.1/6.2? Are those remaining issues resolved with 6.1/6.2?

Otherwise about the only valid conclusion we can come to is yes, you did something wrong. For reference, if you insert the following into your .mc file you should get a 5s greeting pause: FEATURE(greet_pause, `5000')dnl ## 5 seconds Note the quotes around `5000' -- the left hand quote is not like the right hand one. That's something that often catches out people unused to the ways of m4(1). You should have a /usr/share/sendmail/cf/feature/greet_pause.m4 file if your version of sendmail supports this feature. It works for me just using the system sendmail on RELENG_6. I think the sendmail that comes with 4.7 is too old. You'ld be well advised to upgrade -- at least to 4.11-RELEASE-p25, but preferably 6.2-RELEASE due out Real Soon Now.

Cleanly remove a package
Hi, I have a question hope someone can help. When upgrading a package say vsftpd, I used port install. After newer version is installed, I have both newer and older versions being listed if run pkg_info. The newer version works fine. However, I can not run make deinstall after installing the newer version because after port tree being updated, there is no make file for older version. Plus I can't run make deinstall on a live machine until newer package installed. Any help is appreciated.

Re: What's so compelling about FreeBSD?
Nathan Vidican wrote: In one word... stability. Seriously, it's matured better than linux. Based on a codebase tested and depended upon for a lot longer than linux has been around. BSD is here to stay, even if linux is becoming more mainstream. Simply because it works, and has worked for years and years. Probably true. FreeBSD is an entire operating system. The 'commands' you run (ie: shells, tar, disk utilities, filesystems, etc) are all bundled in the same code as one offering. Linux is a kernel, and a filesystem - each individual distribution therefore consisting of the kernel and various (mostly third- party/gnu) utilities to make up an O/S. Since there's no real central 'standard' set of utilities, each distribution varies not only in what it supports, how it works, but also where and how everything is configured from the install. FreeBSD on the other hand, stays tride and true with the same structure and only minimal variances (ie: sysinstall moved from /stand to /usr/sbin in version 6). Linux is all about choice. Yes, there is no single filesystem to stick with Linux. You have ext2/ext3, reiserfs, jfs, xfs you can use. However, each filesystem has its own advantages and disadvantages. Depending on what's needed, one can have different filesystems on one machine. If one looks for a whole OS, Solaris, AIX, OSX, or even Windows will work better at least you do not have to worry about device support problem. Even though there are many Linux distributions, but Linux core pacakges are the mostly the same. The differences are mainly in window manager and GUI applications. No matter which Linux distribution, kernel 2.6.16 is always the same. When it comes to X window, it's xorg across the board. On a more personal note, I prefer *BSD to linux because of the simplicity; too many variances between different linux distributions. With linux everyone and their brother has a different distribution out there; differing releases move configuration files to different places, each vendor makes their own package management, etc. I know the same could be argued about FreeBSD vs OpenBSD vs NetBSD, etc... but it's been my experience that linux has no real standard that all distros follow where *BSD does in terms of the userland, and let's face it - the userland is what we all have to work/live with the most.

Re: What's so compelling about FreeBSD?
I have a few FreeBSD machine from 4.x to 5.x. I have asked people how to upgrade them to latest version 6.x cleanly. All I was told is that I need to wipe them out and reinstall. However, this is not the case with Gentoo Linux. With Gentoo, version release does not matter that much, you can always keep your system up to date if you like. Of cause, you can also choose staying at a certain version. Linux supports more devices than FreeBSD, especially new devices.

Gentoo's is better than other Linux communities, but still not quite up to FreeBSD. - I notice a lot smaller number of It's 'X' liscence, therefore it has to be good, or It's open source therefore it has to be good fanboys in FreeBSD.

Aside from once when I blew up my kernel build, I didn't have that problem in BSD. - It's less popular than Linux, so it's less commonly known/accounted for, and it makes you just that much safer from hackers.
