Health Audit Issue

[NW4FUN]

Hey guys,

While running an Audit->Health I've got the following issue

>>> Check for missing or altered base files
Error 2 ocurred.
etc/sysctl.conf:
   size (311, 345)
   sha256digest (0x8c57d647047d84b9be4cddbb0b6d58c1d5839f148b62d1137b8bf2611f681cfd, 0x06ec8255e5fdfb4ccaf2059bc0d12c92554e4ba8f92b9d4c51af74ba58ba00c9)

Any idea of what that could be?

For completeness of info, this is the full audit outcome which shows other errors which I believe are linked to another issue I have with connecting to repositories

Any insight might surely help, thanks.

So I think you just modified /etc/sysctl.conf yourself there (we don't use it) and the updates are currently not working, perhaps because of DNS or IPv6 connectivity issues.

That's all.


Cheers,
Franco

PS: I guess that confirms the second one: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=31526.0

[NW4FUN]

Thanks Franco, I'm not entirely sure I did that myself...

This is what I've found inside that file

# $FreeBSD$                 
#                           
#  This file is read when going to multi-user and its contents piped thru
#  ``sysctl'' to adjust kernel values.  ``man 5 sysctl.conf'' for details.
#                           
                           
# Uncomment this to prevent users from seeing information about processes that
# are being run under another UID.
#security.bsd.see_other_uids=0
                           
kern.corefile = /root/%N.%P.core


Is this making any sense to you? Shall I unable that kern.corefile line?
If so, does it require a reboot afterward?

Thanks

Also, I don't have IPv6 configured (anymore) on my FW.

[franco]

The file ends with:

#security.bsd.see_other_uids=0

But the audit is to see what changed and the change is not a security issue so no harm done. It'll fix itself anyway since the next OS update will overwrite it and the only thing that really matters is if you want "kern.corefile" to stick you want to use System: Settings: Tunables GUI.

About the connectivity issue that was because "mimugmail" was down and it should be back up now. IPv6/DNS are more likely than any repo not being available. It's impossible to tell from the health audit. That is what the connectivity audit is for.


Cheers,
Franco

Hi Franco,

I'm not entirely sure what kern.corefile does tbh. Where would I find that in Tunable?
I believe this was enabled by Jos from Deciso when I had throughput issues on my DEC3840 back in January...

For the record, the only values listed in Tunables which have values different from Default are:

dev.netmap.buf_num = 5000
hw.ibrs_disable = 1
net.inet.icmp.drop_redirect = 1
vm.pmap.pti = 0

Everything else states (default) as value.

What am I missing??

[NW4FUN]

@Franco, any thoughts?

[NW4FUN]

Bump

[franco]

Not sure about support case. sysctl.conf would have been overwritten when base 22.7.9 was installed, which wasn't January suggesting the change was rather recent with 22.7.9 being not that old...

The tunables are fine. These are some things we recommend for our hardware.


Cheers,
Franco

Thing is it should have been overwritten by 22.7.10 too, but this is not the case.
If I manually delete that line, it keeps coming back after a short while.

I’m truly puzzled on why this is happening…

What would be the tunable generation that line and what does it actually do?
