If rsync tells you rsyncd[6430]: auth failed on module blablablabla: missing secret for user “user”

Try to chmod 700 your .secret files.

We’ve changed server, we switched to Hetzner, and from FreeBSD to Debian.

I miss pf.

And  i don’t like too much apt-get, i think it’ll get me angry someday…

If you are tired of this error in log:
smbd[16703]: [2009/12/13 10:26:43, 0] lib/util_sock.c:set_socket_options(237)
smbd[16703]: Unknown socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY
you have to di a little trick on /etc/rc.dsamba to remove “IPTOS_LOWDELAY” in socket options, doing this (you can add those lines to a script and make it launched after boot, like explained in this article):

sed ‘s/IPTOS_LOWDELAY//’ /etc/rc.d/samba > /etc/rc.d/samba2
mv /etc/rc.d/samba2 /etc/rc.d/samba
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/samba
/etc/rc.d/samba restart

That’s all.

If you want to install FreeBSD packages on FreeNAS live you have to “move” your /usr/local directory where you have more space.
This is what you have to do to install mldonkey, for example:
Create a directory local inside your storage:
mkdir /data/local
now copy the content of the current local directory to the new one:
cp -a /usr/local/ /data/local/
and link it in it’s new place, after removing the old one:
rm -r /usr/local
ln -s /data/local /usr/local
Now your /usr/local dir have more spaces and you can install whatever you want. I’ve installed mldonkey with
pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/net-p2p/mldonkey-core-3.0.1_1.tbz
(since FreeNAS it’s based on FreeBSD 7.2) then i’ve moved my home dir to the storage doing the same things above.
NB: mldonkey needs libmagic.so.3, you can download it from here and you have to copy it at boot time in /usr/lib.
To have all the jobs done at startup you’ve to create a simple script (and put it in your storage, i’ve created mine in /data dir):

sistemadir.sh
#!/bin/sh

rm -r /usr/local
ln -s /data/local /usr/local
rm -r /usr/home/simplex
ln -s /data/simplex /usr/home/simplex
cp /data/libmagic.so.3 /usr/lib
ldconfig

Now chmod +x the script and tell FreeNAS to launch it after boot.
Go to System->Advanced->Command scripts and add the command sh /data/sistemascript.sh or whatever you’ve called it and set type PostInit.
I’ve also added screen to launch mlnet inside it.
Enjoy mldonkey on FreeNAS!

The FreeBSD Team released a new FreeBSD version, 8.0.
What’s new in this version?
- A new virtualization container named “vimage” has been implemented. This is a jail with a virtualized instance of the FreeBSD network stack and can be created by using jail(8) command.
- Xen Dom-U, VirtualBox guest and host, hierarchical jails.
- NFSv3 GSSAPI support, experimental NFSv4 client and server.
- The ZFS file system has been updated to version 13. The changes include ZFS operations by a regular user, L2ARC, ZFS Intent Log on separated disks (slog), sparse volumes, and so on.
- The wireless network support layer (net80211) now supports multiple BSS instances on the supported network devices.
- Gnome 2.26.3, KDE 4.3.1.
See the detailed releas notes to see in depth what was changed from 7.0-RELEASE.
You can buy cds/dvd here.
Or download it using torrents or directly from a mirror.
Or you can upgrade your remote server with freebsd-update(8). (read the man of your current FreeBSD version!!).
And enjoy FreeBSD!
