[tpm2] Re: Installing on FreeBSD?

Could you give us the complete Error message ?

Typical fault No1 is that the tpm pseudo-file is not accessible by the current user.

Under linux this is /dev/tpm0 I don't know if it's the same on FreeBSD.

Cheers,
Andreas

Betreff: [tpm2] Installing on FreeBSD?

Is there a simple, step-by-step guide for installing tpm2 on FreeBSD?

I started with a FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p10 installation on x86_64 and installed the following with "pkg install":

  *   tpm2-abrmd-2.4.0
  *   tpm2-tools-5.2
  *   tpm2-tss-3.1.0

then added tpm2_abrmd_enable="YES" and dbus_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf. The user includes "_tss" in its groups.

Attempts to run tpm2_getrandom fail with "Could not initialize TCTI file".

It appears that I have missed some important steps!

The equivalent on Ubuntu just works.

Thanks
