Things have been very busy at the beginning of the school year, so I'm sorry that I haven't been producing as many shows as usual.
Registration is open for NYCBSDCon and the list of speakers is available. Are you going?
I plan on streaming live during the conference. Do you have any suggestions for live streaming software that is known to work well on the BSDs? Are there any live CDs like Dyne:bolic?
I've come into possession of a Soekris 5501. What are your suggestions for soekris-friendly projects to test?

bsdtalk138 - Central Syslog

2008-01-23T13:13:00.000-08:00

News:
DesktopBSD 1.6 and FreeBSD 6.3 released.

Setting up a central syslog server.

If you are concerned about the security of your logs, use a dedicated machine and lock it down.
Keep clocks in sync.
You may need to change log rotation schedule in /etc/newsyslog.conf. You can rotate based in size and/or time. This can be as much a policy decision as a hardware decision.
On central log host, change syslogd flags to listen to network. Each BSD does this differently, so check the man pages. Also, check out the -n flag for busy environments.
Make sure host firewall allows syslog traffic through.
Be careful to limit syslog traffic to just the trusted network or hosts. FreeBSD man page refers to syslogd as a "remote disk filling service".
For heavy logging environments, it is important to have a dedicated network. A down syslogd server can create a lot of "ARP who-has" broadcasts.
Most network devices such as printers and commercial firewalls support sending to a central syslog server. Take a look at "Snare" for Windows hosts.
To send messages from a Unix host, specify the host name prepended with @ instead of a file for logging in /etc/syslog.conf. For example, change /var/log/xferlog to @loghost.mydomain.biz. You can also copy and edit the line to have it log to both a local file and a remote host.

A later note from RMS:
In the interview, I said that all the BSD systems " include, in
their installation systems--in some cases I believe it's called a ports system...--they all include some non-free programs". What I meant is that the non-free programs are included in the set of programs that the ports system can install. The ports system software as such is free. For me, distributing a recipe to fetch and install a non-free program is pretty much ethically equivalent to distributing a copy.

bsdtalk127 - Why I like the CLI

2007-08-29T08:46:00.000-07:00

Why I like the CLI:

Uses minimal resources. Less space, less memory, fewer dependencies.
Transparency. GUI hides internals, limits options.
Similar between Unix-like systems. GUI tools seem to change every week.
Remote management. SSH rocks.
Everything is text. Configs, devices, output. CLI is natural complement.
Pipes and scripts. One time is hard, a thousand times is easy.
Only need a few tools. Grep, sed, awk, vi, cron.
Text config files. Easy to version, share, and comment.
Requires reading skills instead of clicking skills.
Much faster when you know what you are doing.

bsdtalk117 - One Time Passwords

2007-06-13T14:08:00.001-07:00

Important when you don't trust the computer you are using, such as a library computer or internet kiosk.
Available by default in Free/Net/Open BSD.
FreeBSD uses OPIE, Net/Open use S/Key.
One time passwords are based on your pass phrase, a non-repeating sequence number, and a seed.
Initial setup should be done directly on the server.
"skeyinit" for Net/Open, "opiepasswd -c" for FreeBSD.
Enter a pass phrase that is not your regular account password.
Find your current sequence number and seed with "opieinfo" or "skeyinfo", for example: "497 pc5246".
Generate a list of the next 10 passwords and write them down, using "opiekey -n 10 497 pc5246" or "skey -n 10 497 pc5246".
When you log in from a remote machine that might have a keystroke logger, you can now use a one time password instead of your regular password.
For OpenBSD, log in as account:skey, for example "bob:skey", which will cause the system to present the s/key challenge.
For NetBSD, the system will always present you with the s/key challenge if it is configured for your account, although you can still use your regular password.
FreeBSD by default will force you to use a one time password if it is configured for your account.
If you want both OPIE and password authentication, FreeBSD allows you to list trusted networks or hosts in /etc/opieaccess.
Instead of carrying a list of passwords around, you can use s/key generators on a portable device that you trust, such as a palm pilot.
For more info, check the man pages.
