Bug fixes:
- Fix crash reported by Scott Ellis on current-users@.
- Fix race conditions in enforcing the Veriexec rename and remove
policies. These are NOT security issues.
- Fix memory leak in rename handling when overwriting a monitored
file.
- Fix table deletion logic.
- Don't prevent query requests if not in learning mode.
KPI updates:
- fileassoc_table_run() now takes a cookie to pass to the callback.
- veriexec_table_add() was removed, it is now done internally. As a
result, there's no longer a need for VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE.
- veriexec_report() was removed, it is now internal.
- Perform sanity checks on the entry type, and enforce default type
in veriexec_file_add() rather than in veriexecctl.
- Add veriexec_flush(), used to delete all Veriexec tables, and
veriexec_dump(), used to fill an array with all Veriexec entries.
New features:
- Add a '-k' flag to veriexecctl, to keep the filenames in the kernel
database. This allows Veriexec to produce slightly more accurate
logs under certain circumstances. In the future, this can be either
replaced by vnode->pathname translation, or combined with it.
- Add a VERIEXEC_DUMP ioctl, to dump the entire Veriexec database.
This can be used to recover a database if the file was lost.
Example usage:
# veriexecctl dump > /etc/signatures
Note that only entries with the filename kept (that is, were loaded
with the '-k' flag) will be dumped.
Idea from Brett Lymn.
- Add a VERIEXEC_FLUSH ioctl, to delete all Veriexec entries. Sample
usage:
# veriexecctl flush
- Add a 'veriexec_flags' rc(8) variable, and make its default have
the '-k' flag. On systems using the default signatures file
(generaetd from running 'veriexecgen' with no arguments), this will
use additional 32kb of kernel memory on average.
- Add a '-e' flag to veriexecctl, to evaluate the fingerprint during
load. This is done automatically for files marked as 'untrusted'.
Misc. stuff:
- The code for veriexecctl was massively simplified as a result of
eliminating the need for VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE, and now uses a single
pass of the signatures file, making the loading somewhat faster.
- Lots of minor fixes found using the (still under development)
Veriexec regression testsuite.
- Some of the messages Veriexec prints were improved.
- Various documentation fixes.
All relevant man-pages were updated to reflect the above changes.
Binary compatibility with existing veriexecctl binaries is maintained.
This should avoid occasional problems with syncing or unmounting
filesystems on machines which use the automounter. Tested
successfully under NetBSD-i386 3.1_STABLE and 4.0_BETA2.

fixed by removed the leading "i386/" from the -b argument, but then
the mkisofs from the current cdrtools-2.01 package won't find the boot image.
Change the graf-point specifications so that a trailing / terminates
the grafted directories. This way both versions of mkisofs can find the

the commented out lines and replace the only other use.
I've not deleted the function itself though.

GENERIC kernels. If ACPI is an issue on your hardware, 'boot -c' and
'disable acpi' should be a workaround. ACPI-enabled kernels works fine
on pre-acpi hardware.
for amd64:
- add ACPI to INSTALL and GENERIC, remove the *_ACPI config files.
- get rid of the bootfloppy-big.fs boot image, and got to a 3-floppy boot
image
for i386:
- introduce INSTALL_LARGE which has ACPI and some devices with big firmware
- move some devices from INSTALL to INSTALL_LARGE
- Boot floppies still use INSTALL, and bootfloppy-big.fs is still there
(for thoses who want to build el-torito floppy emulation boot CD) and use
INSTALL.
For both, drop the 'iso-image' code in etc/ to make the iso bootable, we'll
use something else to build bootable CDs.
