46714 - I 0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 ttyU0

the getty is there

ah 3wire at a lower baudrate works :3

probably pushing the tolerances of the shitty solder joints too much xD

lemme see if its 3wire or if its the baudrate

nope the baudrate isnt the issue, its 3wire which is required

at least doing OpenBSD terminal server --> FreeBSD device

I cant believe something I have done actually works!!!!!!!!!

alright I will stfu and go away, I have annoyed this channel enough tonight :p

gn all!

polarian: how long is your serial cable and does it have shielding?

not sure what happened but my freebsd host has messed up its pam modules, so I cannot ssh to it or login as root. I'm currently booted in single user mode with the fs mounted, I see files exist in /etc/pam.d and /usr/lib/pam*, but it seems like they aren't being loaded?

it complained about pam_permit.so not being found and I just double-checked and it isn't there

Xinayder, what complained about pam_permit.so not being there?

CrtxReavr, idk what happened but my pam modules were corrupt, I think this was the result of running freebsd-update on a pkgbase system. I had to force-reinstall the base packages and now everything works

most specifically, FreeBSD-base, FreeBSD-runtime, FreeBSD-utilities, FreeBSD-utilities-lib32, FreeBSD-pam

Well, good job fixing it. . . pam is kinda important.

security patches incoming ...

-P7?

p7 indeed

kernel, dhclient, rescue, runtime{,dev,dev-lib32,lib32}, src{,sys}, zoneinfo

brb new kernel

FreeBSD bsd 15.0-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p7 releng/15.0-n281034-bbfdabc12895 GENERIC amd64

have a lookg in the tree

the UPDATING sounds like **FUN** *sigh*

dhclient, execve(), ...

have to edit a lot of config files? everything came back up on boot but oops rtorrent isn't set up

rdr: your shouldn't have to change any configuration after applying the patches

oh rtorrent is set up

now i just have to rice tmux

ooh trickery, the first window is 0, how programatically correct

And I just did p6 recently too. :)

Has there been any discussion about no longer using freebsd-update? I remember that being a thing where pkg was going to handle even system updates.

I should probably read up on that.

yes macer, i just had a link that went over that

because i tried using freebsd-update and it said "NO! you are a pkg system!"

pkgbase is a thing you can use it right now if you want

i went from p5 to p6 using only pkg

same with me and p6 to p7

works quite well

I don't suppose anybody here is using Amazon SSM agent on an ec2 instance? I'm curious as to whether you use an explicit IAM role, or default host management configuration

Hi there. I fubared my configuration of libvirt, qemu, and virt-manager. Is there any way to remove all the configuration files so I can install from scratch?

I tried reading up on it to do it but my muscle memory is stuck on freebsd-update

I’m also a big fan of keeping it separate just because one is base and one is userland packages.

Macer: Is there a way to jail off the installation?

ke8cqc, It's ambiguous and unclear to me if you are running libvirt on FreeBSD or if you are running FreeBSD using a VM managed by libvirt on another system.

(I tried libvirt on FreeBSD a few years ago and I was unsuccessful with it. I do use libvirt on Devuan systems though.)

rwp: This is a new install. I'm running libvirt on FreeBSD. There is no other system I'm connecting to.

In that case all of the configuration files should be located in /usr/local/etc/libvirt and removing those files should do it. (I would make a snapshot for backup first.)

Ok thanks.

Seems like removing all libvirt packages, then removing everything from that directory, would remove all of the install of it. Then installing it again would install it fresh for the first time.

And it also seems like as you asked that you could jail it. I am sure you would need to allow some jail related security permissions for it to be functional. I don't know what those would be but seems reasonable to do it that way.

ke8cqc in my case I only use freebsd for my nas. I’m not really sure if jailing it off is necessary for that use case.

I would love to read someone's write-up on running libvirt on FreeBSD. At the current time I am only successful running virt-manager connecting to other system's libvirt managed VMs. That works perfectly. But I haven't been successful using libvirt to manage VMs on FreeBSD systems.

Though with the advancement of podman, libvirt doesn't have the motivation that it once had.

I’m curious if that IANA issue was related to a similar problem I was having in Debian where I was picking a timezone and for the life of me it wouldn’t change properly.

IANA issue?

how did it not change properly? it's just a symlink... or copy

Wow. I’m just getting these mailing list emails back to back. Lol.

SA is probably on the verge of blocking it. :)

Why would SpamAssassin block mailing list mail? Surely mailing list mail has been explicitly listed to be allowed, right?

rwp, test with learndmarc.com

er - actually the list manager would need to test.

(That site is essentially an handy, automated way to test a sending domain's SPF, DKIM, & DMARC records.

)

CrtxReavr, Huh, what, huh? I was responding to Macer who said "Wow. I'm just getting these mailing list emails back to back. Lol. SA is probably on the verge of blocking it. :)"

rwp I was joking.

guess i should like upgrade or somethign

Macer what version you on?

p6

i'm actually a little more concerned about opnsense :)

alrighty. let me restart for good measure. these patches sure seem to be coming rather quickly
