FreeBSD foundation semi-annual newsletter

The FreeBSD foundation published their semi-annual newsletter, complete with a letter from the president of the foundation
“In fact after reading [the president’s] letter, I was motivated to come up with my own elevator pitch instead of the usual FreeBSD is like Linux, only better!”
It talks about the FreeBSD journal as being one of the most exciting things they’ve launched this year, conferences they funded and various bits of sponsored code that went into -CURRENT
The full list of funded projects is included, also with details in the financial reports
There are also a number of conference wrap-ups: NYCBSDCon, BSDCan, AsiaBSDCon and details about the upcoming EuroBSDCon
A new application page for travel grants to EuroBSDCon is also up

OpenBSD on an Intel NUC

A lot of people love small form factor PCs, and we love ones that can run BSD – so does the author of this write-up
The Intel NUC is a small, almost Mac Mini-like device that’s pretty cheap and offers some nice specs
“The NUC has integrated Intel graphics (Intel HD Graphics 5000) which as an OpenBSD user is exactly what I wanted” – fully supported
The post goes into detail about PXE booting the installation and talks about his experiences

BAFUG presentation videos

A couple of talks from BAFUG, the Bay Area FreeBSD Users Group, were uploaded to YouTube
The first talk is by Craig Rodrigues about libvirt and bhyve integration
libvirt is a c library for interacting with various Hypervisors and virtualization technology – bhyve support was recently added
The second is by Adrian Chadd, titled “Upcoming RSS enhancements to the FreeBSD Network Stack”
Adrian also wrote a blog post that accompanies the video
We need more good quality BSD presentation videos!

TLS decompression

A new blog post from our buddy Ted Unangst](https://www.bsdnow.tv/episodes/2014_02_05-time_signatures), this time about a feature he recently removed from LibreSSL
The original commit message was just “decompress libressl” with no details – these are the missing details of that change
It talks about the different network layers where compression is applied and how code has to be refactored for that
“I might download a zip file (of png files!). The web server, if configured just wrong, can apply http compression to it. If it’s https, the TLS layer can compress it again. If I’m using an SSH tunnel, that can compress it. If it’s travelling over IPsec, it can get compressed again. It can get compressed again by IP compression. How many layers of compression do we really need?”

News Roundup

Introducing pkgfs

A new tool, pkgfs, was committed to FreeBSD -CURRENT
It’s described as “a file system implementation for reading files out of a compressed tarball”
Users will now be able to view pkgng packages (or any compressed tarball) just like NFS, SMB, SSHFS, etc

BSDMag’s July 2014 issue is out

Continuing their monthly release cycle, BSD Magazine has another issue for us
Topics include using Wireshark in a SAN environment, more GIMP image manipulation tutorials, an interview with Brett Davis about TrueNAS, an article about pkgng in DragonFlyBSD and a few other things
The PDF is free to download, as always

A new OpenSMTPD interview

Way back in episode three, we talked to Gilles and Eric from the OpenBSD team about OpenSMTPD
One of the developers gave a text-only interview with a Russian website about some recent activity
It talks about their development process, testing the code on various platforms and architectures, stress testing via the “Twitter flash mob” and a few other things

FreeBSD as a syslog server

If you have a large number of servers, examining their logs individually is a pain
Fortunately, you can configure them to send their logs to a dedicated system to receive them
This blog post goes through the process of setting up the “client” systems as well as the “server” system to get all your logs in one place

An important notice: OpenBSD is moving to a new distributor in September, so between now and then is your last chance to buy any of the current shirts, CDs, mugs, posters – grab them now while you still can!

Interview – Michael W. Lucas – mwlucas@michaelwlucas.com / @mwlauthor

Sudo Mastery
+ Could you tell us a little about yourself, how you got involved with writing and specifically writing about BSD?
+ To set the record straight, is \”su-doh\” or \”su-du\” the correct pronunciation?
+ For the sake of completeness, what is sudo, where does it come from, what does it do?
+ Why did you write this book?
+ Is this mainly a security-focused book?
+ What\’s something interesting you learned about sudo while writing this that you didn\’t know?
+ What are some other BSD books you\’ve written?
+ What makes a \”good\” tech book, would you say?
+ Since you\’ve written about OpenBSD and FreeBSD, how do you personally use both of them?
+ Do the projects get any of the money from sales of the books?
+ Where\’s the best place for people to go to find out more about (and buy) your books?
+ We saw on Twitter you\’re going to be doing an \”OpenBSD for Linux users\” talk for MUG?
+ Anything else you\’d like to mention?
+ Video: DNSSec in 55 Minutes

Cron is a daemon that executes scheduled commands. Cron searches its spool area (/var/spool/cron/crontabs) for crontab files.

Note that crontabs in this directory should not be accessed directly – the crontab command should be used to access and update them.

Linux Logs Explained:

Syslog

There are two services, or daemons, that control logging, klogd and syslogd. klogd only deals with kernel messages. syslogd deals with other system messages, such as applications. You can configure the behavior of both by editing the files /etc/syslog.conf and /etc/sysconfig/syslog
/var/log/messages

The messages log is the core system log file. It contains the boot messages when the system came up as well as other status messages as the system runs. Errors with IO, networking, and other general system errors are reported in this file. Other information, such as when someone becomes root, is listed here as well. If services are running, such as DHCP servers, you can watch the action in the messages file. /var/log/messages is generally your first place to look when you are troubleshooting.
dmesg

To get a quick view of the boot log for the last system boot, use the command dmesg. It generally puts out a lot of text, so you will generally want to pipe it through a viewer.
dmesg | more
tail

Sometimes you want to keep an eye on a log file as activity is occurring. Tail is designed to show the last few lines of a text file. By adding the -f switch, tail will continue to show new output as it occurs.
tail -f /var/log/messages
more

More works the same as the DOS version. You can point it to a file, or pipe output through it to see the information one screen page at a time. For example, to show the contents of the Xfree86 startup log file one screen page at a time:
more /var/log/XFree86.0.log
less

Less is another text viewer, but it allows you to scroll through a file and search for information.
less /var/log/messages
logger

You may want to put your own messages into the log file. You could just append the log message to the correct text file, but you would have to duplicate the log information style. Also, you would have to change your code if the logging system had been customized. The logger command lets you send your own messages to the logging facility. Use it in scripts to provide messages about execution and errors.
Remote Syslog

You can have it sent to a remote host where that host will process it according to its own syslogd configuration. Remote logging is an excellent security feature.
