No, I can not report a similar experience.  The patch worked fine for
me.  Are you sure you _installed_ the kernel and modules after recompiling
them?

RE: mmap busted in 4.3?

2001-12-05 Thread Lawrence Farr

Will this patch sort out problems with audio extraction on my
A7V-E or A7M266? I get read timeouts in FreeBSD, but it's happy
in Win2K. If it's worth a try, can someone mail me with it?

Cheers!

Re: 4.4-STABLE crashes - suspects new ata-driver over wd-driver

2001-12-05 Thread Richard Nyberg

Here's another "me too". My box just froze when copying a large amount of
big files over the network to my machine, causing heavy disc access and lots
of interrupts. Curiously I just updated my box to 4.4-STABLE from 4.3-RELEASE
and it hasn't occured before.

Though in my case the box is quite old (dmesg attached) but is using a
relatively new IDE disc.

Everyone's mileage varies - sometimes a lot.

Is your machine inside a firewall? If so, then P(outside attack)
goes down significantly for a good firewall configuration. If you
are concerned about your co-workers attacking you, then you need
to implement the same protections as for an outside attack -- and
IMHO to go job-junting.

My FreeBSD machine here at work has tripwire installed, and
enough password to keep the honest people out. I certainly don't
worry about kernel security levels.

naive security question

2001-12-05 Thread Matt Sykes


I have a recently cvsupped SMP 4.4-stable running great.

ipfilter is:

- blocking (all?) spoofs and smurfs
- blocking all packets on all ports except:
   - packets part of inside-initiated tcp/udp/icmp connections
   - tcp SYN packets on port 22 (ssh)

The setup is taken directly from the ipf-howto.

So all unwanted packets are dropped except for SYN/22 packets.  This
leaves me open to SYN flooding and username/password guessing.  After
some google research, it appears FreeBSD is pretty good at combating
the flooding problem.  As for username/password guessing, there's not
much I can do about that other than picking a 'good' password and
checking the logs.  Oh and there could be an exploit in OpenSSH.

My naive view is that this setup looks -pretty good-.

My question is: how confident should I be?  Is it really worthwhile
for me to spend time setting up tripwire, kernel levels, etc?  How
many people are that really that paranoid (paranoia being a good
thing)?  I am a software developer (this box is at work), so the more
time I spend developing software the better.

Thanks.

linux module broken also with patch on fxp interfaces

2001-12-05 Thread Hartmann, O.

Ups ...

I just tested the patch on the DELL P4 (with the 3Com905C xl0 NIC)
and with the applied patch, the Linuxulator offers the right
ID with lmutil lmhostid for the FLEXlm authentication server.

The same patch on the same cvsupdated FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE source
(last cvsupdate: today, 3 hours ago from now) has no effect on
machines equipted with the fxp0 NIC (all other machines do have
Intel EtherExpress 10/100 Pro NICs).
It seems to me that the bug is NIC dependend ... :-

Subject: linux module broken also with patch

Hello.
Today I applied the offered patch for the broken FLEXlm facility
under the Linuxulator. I applied this patch to all of our systems
running FBSD 4.4-STABLE. I recompiled only kernel and loadable modules
and rebooted all machines, but on none the problem went away.

lmutil lmhostid reports still "" (all machines do have fxp0 interfaces).

Our systems are several SMP machines of different ages (PIII with ServerWorks
chipset, PII with older Gigabyte GA6BXD mainboard) and UP systems with Intel
P4 and AMD CPUs. The configurations of the SMP machines is similar, those
of the UP machines different. All do have fxp0 device except the Dell
Precicion 340, it has an 3COM xl NIC.

Puhh ... can anyone report similar experiences?

Thanks ...
