Hi,

apu2c4 , Opnsense 19.1.1, fresh install (I had same problem with previous version):

After a cold reboot (power cycle) the Lan interfaces do become active (they have the correct ip adres when i logon to the console with a serial cable) but al my devices get strange ip adresses. After a console logon with the serial cable i do a ifconfig igbx down, then ifconfig igbx up) and everything starts to work...

My lan interfaces have static adresses.

=> Is this a know problem ?

Best regards,

Wim

Hi,

I had some trouble with the syslog daemon, but opnsense uses /var/etc/syslog.conf instead of /etc/syslog.conf

Silly me for posting this non-issue  :-[

Hi,

In https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=11719.0 I was asking about users & pw.

I tried to read the users & pw from the system in C with getpwnam_r, and in perl with getpwuid but they keep returning "*" as pw, even executing as root user. The same code on a centos VM works as expected.

I'm obviously doing something wrong, where is the difference between a vm with linux and an embedded freebsd setup ?

Best regards,

Wim

Hi,

I've got opnsense 19.1.1, 


1) toor loginshell
Most technical users have /usr/sbin/nologin as a loginshell: in my understanding this very save.
I see on my install that the toor user has a missing loginshell: Is there something missing ?

Code Select Expand

toor:*:0:0::0:0:Bourne-again Superuser:/root:

2) PW value
In the old unix's it was possible to force an "illegal" password in the passwd file so that no real password would match the encrypted string. How can i check this for al the "technical" users , or do i just set the value with chpass ?
The encrypted strings are stored in spwd.db => is there a simple tool to read this ?


Keep up the good work with OPNsense !!

Best Regards,

Wim

EDIT:
I know toor is a netbsd thing, and having a super user with another login shell can be a safety measure ...

Hi

I'm running opensense 19.1.1 on an apu2c4. Al the other filesystems are on the sd card

I added 2 filesystems (on ssd) in the /etc/fstab (the idea was to put var on a ssd to minimise wear & tear on the sd

Code Select Expand


/dev/ufs/OPNsense_Nano / ufs rw 1 1 # notrim
/dev/ada0p1 /var ufs rw 2       2
/dev/ada0p2 /home ufs rw 2       2


=> Is there anything more to be done (for example to properly dismount by a reboot=> some config to add in a confog file ) ?

Thank you

Wim
