23:03:08 <zmoment> hi, first time using SmartOS or any Solaris type OS.
23:03:17 <zmoment> I have a couple of questions.
23:04:16 <zmoment> Regarding 'imgadm avail', the images are old.  Is there any other source of newer images for BSDs and Linuxes?
23:04:35 <zmoment> Another question:  I cannot add a user to the global zone.
23:05:18 <zmoment> I've read https://docs.smartos.org/persistent-users-and-rbac-in-the-global-zone/, but the second command doesn't work 'svcadm disable svc:/site/persist-syscfg:default'
23:05:25 <zmoment> How to do it?
23:05:33 <zmoment> And a third question :-)
23:06:42 <bahamat> zmoment: We provide an array of image versions. FreeBSD and ubuntu are out of date for different reasons, but other images we provide are up to date.
23:06:51 <zmoment> The zfs pool where the system is installed is unencrypted.  Is it possible to encrypt it now after installation?  Or can I choose to encrypt it during installation?
23:07:05 <bahamat> FreeBSD is out of date because there's very little demand for it, and our volunteer vanished.
23:07:37 <bahamat> Ubuntu is out of date because they used to be built by Canonical, but when Joyent shut down the public cloud the contract with them was ended.
23:07:44 <zmoment> bahamat: ok.  But OpenBSD is at version 6, image from 2017
23:07:57 <bahamat> MNX is now working on producing new HVM ubuntu images, but we have up to date LX images now.
23:08:50 <bahamat> Same as FreeBSD, there's extremely little demand for it and it requires too much effort for us to keep up with it. Our resources are much better utilized in other directions.
23:09:04 <bahamat> But, we'd gladly accept help in keeping those images up to date.
23:09:55 <bahamat> If you're knowledgable about those OS's, I can go over the build process with you, and you can make any improvements and open pull requests.
23:11:04 <zmoment> If you have some resource that I can read, I can try to understand it.
23:12:23 <bahamat> This is the FreeBSD image builder: https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/freebsd-kvm-image-builder
23:12:43 <bahamat> Here's OpenBSD: https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/openbsd-kvm-image-builder
23:13:06 <zmoment> So, they are only for kvm not bhyve?
23:13:26 <bahamat> Well, with Linux we use cloud-init to configure the image.
23:13:36 <bahamat> KVM provides a mini dhcp service for configuring the network.
23:14:10 <bahamat> For Free and OpenBSD, we don't have an agent to pull the network information from the metadata service and configure networking.
23:14:37 <bahamat> The mdata-* tools are available, and they work. But we need something that will actually do the network configuration.
23:14:45 <bahamat> The data is in JSON format.
23:20:13 <zmoment> So, lookup what is the name of the network interfaces, do a ifconfig interface xxxxx xxx?
