FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p12 bind9 log files not found

2009-05-30 Thread Prokofyev Vladislav
Hello,

I have setup FreeBSD recently, can somebody help me with one interesting
thing - Bind9 slave DNS server, everything is works great, but I got a
problem with extended logging of xfer, etc.
Bind9 started in chroot:

root  7880.0  0.1  3156  1004  ??  Ss   Fri01AM   0:02.10
/usr/sbin/syslogd -l /var/run/log -l /var/named/var/run/log -s
bind30792  0.0  1.2 16212 12864  ??  Is4:10PM   0:00.23
/usr/sbin/named -t /var/named -u bind


Configuration of logging channels from named.conf:

logging
{

channel xfer
{

category xfer-in { xfer; };
category xfer-out { xfer; };
category notify { xfer; };
category lame-servers { lame; };
category config { config; };
category security { security; };
category default { default_syslog; default_debug; };
};


Next, I've create files in /var/named/var/log and chown them to bind:wheel
(cause of -u bind is defined above):

[po...@mgork23-gw /var/named/var/log]$ ls -la
total 4
drwxr-xr-x  2 bind  wheel  512 May 30 16:09 .
drwxr-xr-x  6 root  wheel  512 May 21 19:16 ..

-rw-r--r--  1 bind  wheel0 May 30 14:55 security.log
-rw-r--r--  1 bind  wheel0 May 30 14:54 xfer.log


But I get following messages in /var/log/messages:

Changing permissions and putting log-files in different places (with
changing paths in named.conf of course) has no effect. I see that problem is
pretty silly but searching info about this doesn't say something special - I
still got file not found in /var/messages.
Maybe Iam don't understand where files must be placed, so, thanks in advance
for everybody who can explain how it works :)

The named running chrooted has no clue about /var/named. You can either use 
ducttape:
cd /var/named/var  sudo ln -s .. named

or just strip /var/named from your config file, hence use /var/log/xfer.log.

Don't know if this will help, but took a quick look at my box here at home 
and have the following in my rc.conf - but I don't have logging turned on 
with this machine. Note the last line. So the logs should be in 
/var/named/var/log

named_enable=YES
named_program=/usr/sbin/named
named_chrootdir=/var/named

After adding these options on my system, named didn't start at boot.
Manully attempt to start it via '/etc/rc.d/named start' brought to the

 This helped, thank you a lot.
 So, if I think in a right way, /usr/sbin/named with -t start option don't
 effect on any symlinks etc.

Erm, yes or ... no. I suggest you read up on chroot.
The short answer is that relative symlinks within the chroot environment work 
while absolute ones should take into the account the new filesystem root.


 I didn't pay attention to this cause named(8)
 says:

 -t directory
   Chroot to directory after processing the command line arguments,
   but before reading the configuration file.

and have a look at what /etc/namedb really is:
# ls -l /etc/namedb
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  21 May 21 06:24 /etc/namedb - 
/var/named/etc/namedb

And this demonstrates chroot a bit:
# cp /rescue/ls /var/named/

# chroot /var/named /ls -l /etc/namedb
total 1
drwxr-xr-x  2 53  0512 Feb 28 05:57 dynamic
drwxr-xr-x  2 0   0512 May 15 13:42 master
-rw-r--r--  1 0   0  11714 May 15 14:40 named.conf

-rw---  1 53  0 97 Apr 18 10:29 rndc.key
drwxr-xr-x  2 53  0512 May 30 11:21 slave

   Warning: This option should be used in conjunction with the
   -u option, as chrooting a process running as root doesn't
   enhance security on most systems; the way chroot(2) is
   defined allows a process with root privileges to escape a
   chroot jail.

 And I thought that all actions for proper work are made by named :)

They are, you just need reference the right path, the one without /var/named, 
or use relative paths where the working directory is /etc/namedb. So one would 
get to /var/log using:
file ../../var/log/xfer;

nomachine on Freebsd 7.0-release 64-bit in a jail

2009-02-03 Thread Mark C. Ballew
It appears that the both the FreeNX port and the binary nomachine nxserver
ports are both broken and fail to compile. I'm still trying to get
nxserver 3 free forever edition to work. So far I've made some mods to
it's install scripts but I'm bumping up against a strange licensing error
(there is no license for the free edition).

Before I bang my head on this much longer, has anyone else gotten
Nomachine's version 3 server working on FreeBSD 7? How about in a jail?

How does one mount linprocfs in a jail?

Closure: Vetting motherboard Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H for FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE

2009-01-21 Thread ThinkDifferently


Frank Shute-2 wrote:
 
 I've had good luck with anything by Asus and Gigabyte. I tend to avoid
 boards with bleeding edge hardware/features as these will not have
 received so much testing (and may not even be supported) on FreeBSD.
 This in practice means get a board that's been on sale for a bit.
 

In my research and unwitting trials with this particular motherboard
(Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H), I found that, while it is generally well tolerated
by FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE, the onboard RAID is completely incompatible.  Even
when a RocketRAID 3120 card was used, the RAID could be built, but the ar0
device thus created, did not survive a reboot.  Also, a software RAID was
attempted -- after a minimal install from CD, the atacontrol command was
used to create RAID ar0, then (without rebooting) exiting back to the
installer, the OS was loaded onto it; however, upon reboot, ar0 could not be
found.  In other words, it could not boot from any RAID, whether by software
in FreeBSD or by hardware on RocketRAID.

The problem stems from the board's Southbridge SB700 chipset (the infamous
700 series).  This chipset is not (yet?) supported in FreeBSD.

Other notes on this board include the following:
-Generic VGA worked.
-The onboard LAN (chipset 8111C) worked in 7.1-RELEASE, but not 7.0.
-If the SATA ports are put into AHCI or Native IDE modes, individual disks
were recognized, but in RAID mode, neither the RAID nor individual disks
could be seen.

Why do that?
Just create your own root account, put what you want for a shell
on that account and use it.

Use vipw.   Copy the root line and then change the _second_ one
to be your own root id- say,  Rgad  - and make a loging in directory 
for it.  Change the directory part of the pw entry to be that and
the the shell to be what you want.   

Then change the password to be what you want or use some pwvault utility
or whatever.   Just make sure you specify the second root account  (Rgad)
when doing so or it will change the real root's password.

Assuming you build the shell statically linked, and put it in the root
partition, you're unlikely to have any trouble.  

However:
 - that is what the toor user is for
 - in my own opinion, anyone who cares what shell root runs is probably
   spending too much time running as root

I change my root shell to pdksh. It's statically linked and I copy it
from /usr/local/bin to /bin.

In single user mode you're prompted for a shell (/bin/sh is the
default) so I usually use that.

I've never had any problems (famous last words ;) Just have to
remember to copy the executable to the root filesystem if your shell
gets upgraded.

What you don't want to do is overwrite /bin/sh with /bin/bash or
anything like that. The boot up scripts depend on /bin/sh and although
bash is meant to be Bourne compatible, I wouldn't trust it myself to
bring up the system without problems.

 
 
 TIA,
 
 David

Re: FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-i386 will changing root shell break anything?

2009-01-04 Thread Modulok
 Does anybody know if it's okay to change the root shell?

A topic of debate, but yes it is okay to change the root shell, but
there are some things to know...

Some people fret about the idea that shells like bash are not on the
root partition and are usually dynamically linked to libraries which
reside on /usr and are therefore not available in single-user mode.
(One could install a static version of bash to avoid this.)
Additionally, FreeBSD prompts the user for the path to the desired
shell when going into single-user mode. Shells like sh and tcsh, while
dynamically linked, their libs reside on the root partition. If that
isn't enough, statically linked shells exist in /rescue and therefore
should always be available. Furthermore, the installation CD can be
booted from and can provide an emergency repair shell.

So yes, there is no technical reason you cannot change the root shell.
Just be aware that a default bash install will not be available in
single-user mode.

But... best security practices dictate that you should not be using
the root shell. If you're using the root shell often enough to find
the default shell inconvenient, you should consider using something
like sudo and a regular user account instead. You can use the builtin
'su' command with the '-m' flag to preserve the environment of the
current user, while elevating your privileges. The shell used will be
the login shell of the user issuing the 'su' command. Only members of
the group 'wheel' may issue the 'su' command.

 8200 (MCP78) chipset.  FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE and CentOS 5.2 wouldn't even boot
 on it, no matter what the BIOS config was.  Also, Vista wouldn't even
 recognize the SATA disks, even if the SATA ports were in IDE, RAID or AHCI
 modes (it requires a driver, even if you aren't doing RAID).
 -- 

I haven't used that MB but I am using a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L (core2)
so I'll offer some general advice since no one else seems to want to!
;)

I've had good luck with anything by Asus and Gigabyte. I tend to avoid
boards with bleeding edge hardware/features as these will not have
received so much testing (and may not even be supported) on FreeBSD.
This in practice means get a board that's been on sale for a bit.

None of my machines are configured for RAID but as a general point,
most on this list use software RAID in the form of geom/geli/gmirror
etc.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom.html

The consensus seems to be that it's just as good as hardware
raid performance-wise. There was a thread on this list about it a few
months ago.

I'd use FreeBSD 7.1-RC1 if I was building a FreeBSD machine today for
production purposes as it will be more uptodate with respect drivers
for newer hardware and most bugs will have been shaken out this close
to release.

My compatibilty check for hardware usually consists of going to Google
and punching in FreeBSD and the name of the hardware. This usually
brings up hits which indicate the level of support.

HTH.

Regards,

Vetting motherboard Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H for FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE

2008-12-18 Thread ThinkDifferently

I'm currently looking for an ATX motherboard that supports the AM2+ socket,
Phenom Quad-Core processor, 4 DDR2 RAM slots (800 MHz is fine), 6 SATA ports
with RAID, and Gigabit LAN.  Onboard VGA would be nice.

It needs to work well with FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE, using a 2-disk SATA RAID1.

I'm currently looking at the Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H.

Has anyone successfully operated 7.0 on this board?
Any booting issues?  Did you need to modify the ISO to get it to boot (if so
how)?
Did RAID work?  Did it require a special driver to be loaded (if so how)?

Do any other motherboards fit the bill, given the specifications I give
above?

I recently got a black eye -( with the MSI K9N2G Neo-FD, using the GeForce
8200 (MCP78) chipset.  FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE and CentOS 5.2 wouldn't even boot
on it, no matter what the BIOS config was.  Also, Vista wouldn't even

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I do not need HTPC quality video and sound
from this thing.  I know the mobo I mentioned has HTPC written all over it,
but it's the base qualities (processor, chipset, SATA, etc.) that really
count.

All I need is basic VGA, and some stereo sound wouldn't be too bad.

I don't really care if accelerated video or theater-quality sound output was
bad or flaky.

I'm going to operate it as a server and plug it into a VGA KVM that has a
max resolution of 1024x768.

 You should be able to get back into Xorg with Alt F7 or F8. Does this
 not work?

X usually runs on ttyv8, so it should be Alt+F9.

As root? No good idea. You should run from a !root user account.

 I believe F9 only works if you use the xorg logon session control.

No, it works when you startx from after a normal login, too.
I do know that, it's my setting at the moment. :-)

So if you would create a normal user account and add these files:

1. ~/.xsession

#!/bin/csh
source ~/.cshrc
exec ~/.xinitrc

2. ~/.xinitc

#!/bin/sh
exec xfwm

Give them +x permissions. The first file allows you to inherit your
settings from the C shell (~/.cshrc) into your X session when started
from XDM or another display manager.

After login, you can use the

% startx

command to run your XFCE session.

But in fact, running as root can't be the reason why console
switching doesn't seem to work correctly, I believe...

Well, this hasn't something to do with FreeBSD 7. From my own
experience, virtual console switching has always been the same
since 4.0 with XFree86.

When you're inside X, you need to add the Control key to the
key combination, e. g. Ctrl-Alt-PF1. So you leave X (on its
VT, usually PF9, see /etc/ttys) and get to the 1st virtual
console. As long as you're in text mode, you can switch
around with Alt+PF1 ... Alt+PF9 as you mentioned correctly.

The functions of Alt+PF1 ... Alt+PF12 inside X depends on the
window manager / desktop environment you're running, it can,
for example, be used to switch virtual desktops.

You could try to press the Pause / SysRq key as many times as needed
until you're on your X screen again.

Have a look into /etc/ttys where the correct terminal should be
specified, e. g. 

ttyv8   /usr/local/bin/xdm -nodaemon  xterm   off secure
   ^^
So X will be on ttyv8 which is number 9 (Alt+PF9).

May I ask how you initiate your X (XFCE) session? This could give
a hint why console switching doesn't work as intended.

Have you tried Ctrl+Alt+Fx? Alt alone has never gone to a virtual

 gio-2.0.  STFW I found something similar:
 

The answer is to upgrade your devel/glib20 port to the latest version, then try 
to install or upgrade libgiofam, then install the other software.

If you previously had glib20-2.14.6 installed, you will need to do a 'make
deinstall' prior to 'make reinstall'.

This is wrong somehow. You should be able to make  make deinstall  make
reinstall the glib20 port without it going anywhere else.

 20081026-125954 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/ports/devel/gio-fam-backend
 # make

Also please note that both the glib20 port *and* the gio-fam-backend both
utilize the same glib20 tarball. It's just you need to build/install the
glib20 (current version == 2.16.5) port first, then follow up by doing the
gio-fam-backend port.

Something is wrong with your setup as I just successfully built the
gio-fam-backend port on my test machine with no difficulties encountered.

This is telling you the cairo you have installed is old and needs to be
updated, probably freetype2 and fontconfig as well. Essentially you have
out of date dependencies, with the most common reason for this is having
installed packages straight from the release ISOs and subsequently not
upgrading them.

Many old time FreeBSD'ers only install the system from the ISO, update their
ports tree, and then install software. This ensures everything is current
and all dependencies are tracked. What you have is a jumble of outdated
dependencies which require updating.

[snip]

You can update things manually one or two at a time[1], as you did for the
glib20 port. Or you can automate the process. I use portupgrade for this.
Now portupgrade has it's own learning curve, but it can make it easier to
keep large numbers of ports all up to date.

You probably need to learn a little more about how the ports system works.
Once you have a more in depth understanding of how to install and maintain
software on a FreeBSD system you won't see this kind of situation again. So
rather than fixate on just bouncing from dependency to dependency, ad
infinitum ad nauseum, try going back and reading up on this subject some
more until you understand the process.

Others have mentioned other tools. One that will do what you want is
graphics/xv 

Fire it up, right click on the splash screen and click Grab.

xv is also a bit more lightweight than Gimp or ImageMagik.

If you are using X11, try xwd(1) that comes with it. You'll need a tool
like netpbm or ImageMagick to convert dump files to other formats.

Or you can use the gimp to capture and process window images under X11.

I'm not aware of any screen dump apps on the console. You can of course
run console apps in an X terminal and capture that.

how to get linux debugging compatibility on freebsd 7.0-release

2008-09-24 Thread David Polak
FreeBSD xxx..com 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24
10:35:36 UTC 2008
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

I am a little bit (ok, way) over my head here,  but I have a 32bit linux
binary that crashes on my amd64 system. If that isn't convoluted enough, it
is also running in a jail. Specifically, if anyone cares, it seems to be the
source metamod 3rd party add-on to valve software's source dedicated server.
I have provided the developer(s) of the mod a jailed test environment to
debug in with linux_base-fc4, but they are asking how to enable linux
debugging compatibility, but I have no idea how to do so, and my googling
attempts have only turned up old references to /usr/ports/devel/linux_devel
which doesn't seem to exist any more.

Here is exactly what he asked me:

I haven't used FreeBSD since 4.4 or so.  I've installed gdb66 and
i386-rtems-gdb
(whatever that is) in vain attempts to get Linux debugging compatibility
but to
no avail.

Do you know how to get that working or should I start going googling? :)

If you really want, you can view all the gory details here:
https://bugs.alliedmods.net/show_bug.cgi?id=3264

but my basic question is, what is the answer to his question of how to get
linux debugging compatibility?

Roland
  
ImageMagick has the 'import' command which can directly capture screen 
to some sensible format such as jpg. You'll get a pointer from which you 
can drag a box on the screen which you want to capture. Alternively you 
can just click an application to take a screenshot of that application 
window. And probably you can make screenshots of the entire screen 
without having to drag a box too

portupgrade / ruby18 is eating up all CPU [FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p3 amd64]

2008-09-03 Thread Oliver Peter
Hi,

Something seems to be wrong with my current 7.0/amd64 setup.

# sudo portupgrade -Rra

Sometimes portupgrade stops while Updating the portsdb [1].
OK, actually it doesn't really stop, with top I see that the
ruby18 process is eating up the whole CPU[2].

In the current case it's about p5-Socket6 - but it seems that
it isn't about the port, it's more about the portsdb.

When I try to restart (CTRL-C) and run portupgrade again it
hangs at the same point Updating the portsdb.
Only when I manually force an update of the portsdb it goes
through:

# sudo pkgdb -fu

But than it will randomly hang again in the whole portupgrade
run at one of the next updates of the portsdb...

I'm able reproduce this problem within a jail and on a regular
host system, with portupgrade and portupgrade-devel.

At this moment I'm suffering an interrupt storm on that machine,
but I already had the problem before.  The machine works fine,
no performance impact or something like that.

FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE getting terrible throughput using sk0 adapter

2008-08-31 Thread David Polak
I recently leased a godaddy.com dedicated server, and while they didn't
offer freebsd as an option,  I used the fine guide at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/remote-install/ to get freebsd
installed. I noticed that the installation was taking a long time with ftp
as the source media, but I had thought that maybe I just picked a bad
mirror.

 

After the install was complete, and I started to install some ports, I was
still seeing really slow download speeds. I then decided to see if something
was wrong with the system by downloading the same image from the same source
that I downloaded on linux in order to bootstrap freebsd and the speed
difference was appaling. It had downloaded at 10.29 MB/s. Once freebsd was
installed, It will only go at 60KB/s..

 

I have tried messing with the options mentioned here:

 

http://spatula.net/blog/2007/04/freebsd-network-performance-tuning.html

 

but that provided no results.

 

 

Here is some info about my setup:

dmesg and the output from sysctl net.inet are attached as files

looks like problems with speed/duplex autoconfiguration with the switch, 
or bad support for PHY in FreeBSD.


what you describe is quite common case when one side gets configured for 
full duplex, other for half duplex.


as it works for linux, maybe PHY support in FreeBSD is buggy.

try setting up speed and duplex options manually

I have set the duplex to full-duplex and it has increased the speed to about
200kb/s on the same file.

As far as phy support, I guess I really don't know, but the drivers for the
chipset have been around for a while.

Try disabling usb and firewire in BIOS. You may need to have a tech there do
it for you. Your box has the sk NIC and usb sharing an irq. The NIC driver
is MPSAFE but the usb stack is still under the GIANT lock. Disable usb and
the NIC driver should perform better.

From server support live chat:

Steven H. - Server Support: Submit a trouble ticket and we will 
look into it further. I'm pretty sure they will not disable usb 
since the DC technicians need to boot from USB in some cases.

So is there any other way to verify that this is indeed the problem? Perhaps
as Perry suggested, building a kernel without usb/firewire, or possibly
setting the irq manually so it's not shared?

mysql-server-5.1.22 system administration docs on FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-i386 ?

2008-08-26 Thread David Christensen
freebsd-questions:

I am a FreeBSB noob who has read http://nostarch.com/abs_bsd2.htm and is
attempting to build a FreeBSD 7.0 box for Apache/ MySQL/ Perl applications.
I've installed mysql-server-5.1.22 via sysinstall from ftp1.us.freebsd.org, but
I am unable to figure out how to start it.


RTFM:

# man mysqld
No manual entry for mysqld

# makewhatis

# apropos mysql
mysql: nothing appropriate

# whatis mysql
mysql: nothing appropriate

I don't understand why apropos and whatis can't find mysql:

# man mysql


Yup, it's there; but that's the client.  So is the admin utility:

# man mysqladmin


The FreeBSD Handbook doesn't mention mysql in the TOC:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html

(Attempting to get the whole thing as HTML locks up my browser.)


The mailing list archives didn't help.  (Including using Google with site:).


STFW led me to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.  Attempting to use that:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server start

# ps -a | grep mysql

# mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

# mysqladmin ping
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'
(2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!


I've been fumbling my way around FreeBSD, and thus far have been able to get
things working via /etc/rc.d/* scripts and/or /etc/rc.conf --  (apache_enable,
hostname, ifconfig_*, defaultrouter, ntpd*, inetd.   mysql-5.1 doesn't seem to
follow the pattern.  Why?


Where is the FreeBSD 7.0 system administration documentation for mysqld 5.1?
Specifically, how to start it manually and how to start it at book via the rc
system?


TIA,

David

Unable to fetch source files using FTP for FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2

2008-06-27 Thread Amitabh Kant
Hello

I have a remote FreeBSD server with a freshly installed FreeBSD 7.0
Release (amd64 arch). I used the freebsd-update tool to apply binary
security updates.  This upgraded my system to FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2.

Since I wanted the ULE scheduler, I tried downloading the source files
using sysinstall by selecting the components. For the install media, I
selected Install from an FTP Server. Selecting any server from those
listed gives the following error:

Warning:  Can't find the `7.0-RELEASE-p2' distribution on this
FTP server.  You may need to visit a different server for
the release you are trying to fetch or go to the Options
menu and to set the release name to explicitly match what's
available on ftp.freebsd.org (or set to any).
Would you like to select another FTP server?

I have already tried multiple ftp locations, but always get the same
result. Am I missing something here, or do I need to downgrade to the
old kernel if I need to compile a custom kernel.


Output from `uname -a`:

FreeBSD localhost.localdomain 7.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2

Hi,
You just need to change the release name to 7.0-RELEASE.  Use
sysinstall and change it in Options or a source supfile with that
release name.  Keep in mind that if you buildworldinstallworld
freebsd-update will not be able to do binary updates.

Does that actually work? I'd always assumed that that would give you
the release source, which would mean reverting two security updates.

The normal way to get the source is to run csup, in this case using
RELENG_7_0. The process is covered in the handbook.

If you have an install cd it works faster than csup to get the sources,
then use csup to update the sources.

Thanks. I don't have access to a CD-ROM. It's a leased server at a
remote location. I won't be doing buildworld  installworld as I would
only be recompiling the kernel to enable ULE scheduler.

I'm not sure about getting FreeBSD to recognize the camera; but if it has a

A little more info -
I now have gphoto2 recognizing and downloading my images, but only in a 
terminal window. I am using XFCE and want to create a shortcut on the 
toolbar or the desktop that will open a terminal window and run the 
command. I have a shortcut set up but it just opens a terminal window 
and quickly closes, I don't know what's wrong, but it's not downloading 
the images.
Any suggestions on how to get a shortcut to a terminal window app to 
work on XFCE?

 Your results are consistent with the problem reading from ulpt(4).  I
 expect that if you turn off your spooling systems and print to a file

 reasonable output. If so, I think as a next step there are two reasonable

 modify the cups source for the usb backend to make it never try to read

The release schedules are posted online at:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng/

If a date is not posted there, it's probably not official yet.  Even if
a date *IS* posted there, it is subject to change according to the plans
of the Release Engineering team.

Re: FreeBSD 7.0-Release

2007-07-02 Thread youshi10

From http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2007/6/emw531216.htm, quoted in the 
News sections of freebsd.org:


Developers on the FreeBSD project worked with researchers from NTT to integrate 
their code, under a BSD license, into the CURRENT branch of FreeBSD, which will become 
the 7.0 release in the near future.

Nothing's hinted, but yes 7.0 is in a code freeze for the most part (very minor 
touch-ups are going into CURRENT from what I can see in the Perforce commits), 
so here goes to 7 RELEASE in the next couple months :)..
