This includes all the BSD material I didn’t have time to get posted last week. I hope you have some time for reading today; there is a lot here.
- Royal activity affecting your open source files.
- Windows guest support (or at least the start of it) in bhyve.
- Bad memory blacklisting in FreeBSD. I’d be worried about keeping partially bad RAM in place, but this is probably being used on a larger scale.
- 25 year old col bug, fixed.
- The start of NUMA support in FreeBSD.
- Alpine POC and Routerboard support in FreeBSD.
- FreeBSD now supports more than 8 audio channels.
- NetBSD is starting to gain EdgeRouter support.
- NetBSD gains in-kernel splash screen support.
- Openresolv 3.7 is in both FreeBSD and NetBSD.
- EU study recommends OpenBSD. (Thanks, PCTF)
- Now, sshd in OpenBSD defaults to ‘PermitRootLogin=no‘ (like in DragonFly!)
- Device Developer’s Conference, happening in the UK over the next month or so. (via openbsd-misc)
- OpenBSD has released, shipped, and there’s some discs with errors being replaced, though there’s a workaround.

On OpenBSD sshd was set to ‘PermitRootLogin=no‘ during installation if user is configured since May 8, 2009. This is not exactly ‘PermitRootLogin=no‘ by default, but it is very close.
Can DragonFlyBSD have the some 0 to fully configured thing with a PXE setup?
Actually, there is a utility in dragonfly called ‘rconfig’ that allows you to completely automate installs. It’s really quite nice and very underused. There’s some scripts already done – it just runs a shell script.

The DragonFly installer also can automatically set up a PXE server. So boot a CD image on some other machine temporarily, and PXEboot on the destination machine – no extra setup.
