Hi Colin, Thanks for your reply. > What makes you think that the crypto code is missing? When I try to install www/apache20 from ports, I get this error: Dependency error: this port requires the OpenSSL library, which is part of the FreeBSD crypto distribution but not installed on your machine.

Crypto missing after FreeBSD-Update to 6.2-RELEASE

2007-07-08 Thread Matt Bostock
Hello, I've been using freebsd-update for some time now and it's been fantastic. I recently used Colin's upgrade script[1] to upgrade to 6.2-RELEASE, but it seems that the crypto distribution is now missing from my system. With previous versions of freebsd-update I would have used --branch, but l

Can't get openssh-portable to use PAM

2007-05-21 Thread Matt Bostock
Hi all, I'm using security/openssh-portable to provide chroot-ssh, but would now also like to enable PAM for SSH so that I can take advantage of OPIE in certain scenarios. I've compiled openssh-portable with the PAM option (and something PAM-related flashes by during 'configure'), and have Challe

Re: Logs not being saved (/var/log/messages, etc)?

I think I fixed it guys, thanks for all of your help. Syslogd was choking because /var/log/messages didn't exist. I touched that, restarted and all was working again. I did the same for the others (auth.log etc), and things seem ok now. Many thanks, Matt :) ___

Logs not being saved (/var/log/messages, etc)?

2006-05-09 Thread Matt Bostock
Hi, The usual system logs such as /var/log/messages are not being saved. /var/log/messages does not exist, but /var/log/messages.0 (the old rotated version) does. I've tried a 'tail /dev/klog' and it returns 'device busy'. syslogd -dv isn't returning anything useful either. I'd be very grateful

ZFS/NILFS for FreeBSD

Hi, I'm looking for a stable filesystem that implements integrity checks using file checksums (aren't we all?). Is anyone aware of a ZFS/NILFS equivalent for FreeBSD? I know DragonFlyBSD plan to port ZFS, and NILFS is Linux only. Is there another option currently available for FreeBSD? Many than
