I know about the procedures details in that chapter, however, I'm recalling the fact that at one point in time, there was a migrating link (http://www.freebsd.org/old/releases/5.4R/migration-guide.html) on the old website that included, if you will, *the way* to migrate from FreeBSD-4 to FreeBSD-5 - that included changes and extra steps as against what is mentioned in chapter 20 in the Handbook. Similarly (to me) in this scenario, in an upgrade from FreeBSD-5 to FreeBSD-6, I wondered if any correspondingly different changes / extra steps are required. My main reason for asking, is the fact that google searches on this matter return differing procedures (with varying sequences and numbers of steps) used by posters. If chapter 20 is the way, then fair enough, but I thought it a simple thing to ask. Thanks again for taking the time.

Help: kinit failed
Dear Sirs,
When I tried to add my FreeBSD machine as a domain member to ADS domain (with
Windows Server 2003 SP1 as a domain controller), the problem with Kerberos
authentication arised. I installed heimdal-0.6_3.2 package for Kerberos
authentication.
I used the following /etc/krb5.conf file:
[appdefaults]
encrypt = yes
forward = yes
forwardable = yes
no-addresses = yes
proxiable = yes
renew_lifetime = 70 years
ticket_lifetime = 70 years
[libdefaults]
default_realm = MY.REALM
dns_lookup_kdc = yes
dns_lookup_realm = yes
forwardable = yes
kdc_timesync = yes
proxiable = yes
renew_lifetime = 70 years
ticket_lifetime = 70 years
[domain_realm]
.my.domain = MY.REALM
[realms]
MY.REALM = {
admin_server = controller.my.domain
kdc = controller.my.domain:88
kpasswd_server = controller.my.domain:464
krb524_server = controller.my.domain
}
(this is an example file, in my real file MY.REALM, controller, and
my.domain entries are substituted with the real names).
When I tried to kinit [EMAIL PROTECTED], I got the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Password:
kinit: krb5_get_init_creds: Requested effective lifetime is negative or too
short
# klist -v
klist: No ticket file: /tmp/krb5cc_0
Then I tried to change renew_lifetime and ticket_lifetime entries in my
/etc/krb5.conf file to 700 years, and this is what I got:
# kinit [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Password:
kinit: NOTICE: ticket renewable lifetime is SU (
# klist -v
Credentials cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0
Principal: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cache version: 4
KDC time offset: -4 seconds
Server: krbtgt/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Ticket etype: arcfour-hmac-md5, kvno 2
Auth time: Oct 30 11:01:20 2005
End time: Jan 1 03:00:00 1970 (expired)
Renew till: Jan 1 03:00:00 1970
Ticket flags: forwardable, proxiable, renewable, initial, ok-as-delegate
Addresses:
Now, the questions are: 1) Why should I set so long time period for tickets and
for renewable tickets, and 2) Why is the ticket obtained from my domain
controller for my FreeBSD client is expired?
If You have any ideas, please write me. I tried to figure out why is this so,
but I didn't find any sources where this case was described and what should be
done to resolve this problem.
Thank You in advance, and looking forward hearing from You.

backup strategies
Hi! We plan to set up a backup server. While the basic backup procedure is clear -- use some archiving utility like dump, tar, or cpio and send data to the backup server via ssh or a network mount -- there are many details which are unclear for me. The two biggest problems are: 1) What parts are to be backed up? If I backup the whole system, the backup disk will get full soon. You could say it's not necessary, and that only the valueable data should be backed up (and not those parts which are easy to re-create by means of a new installation). But, say, someone breaks into the machince. How could I reliably find out the Achilles heel she used to get in if I don't have a complete system backup? Or if she has a backdoor left behind? 2) How to schedule backups? I guess services should stop for the backup period as the backup could be unreliable or inconsistent if disk/file writes were going on during backup. It sounds as if I should drop to single user mode. Or is there a less drastic approach? And if I dropped to single user mode, I would lose control over the box for that period, as the box is accessed via ssh and sshd is also stopped in single user mode -- this sounds scary...

Is there a way for me to force FreeBSD to leave `screen' (or any other process) alone when selecting something to kill to free memory? Hmmm, why are user limits not applied? Wouldn't it be a nicer way to solve the rogue process problems? It turns out that the problem is not actually a memory request but a huge temp file in an MFS filesystem... so maybe I need to figure out how to limit the size of a mount_mfs so it can't blast processes out of existence.

Re: backup strategies
Hi On 10/30/05, Csaba Henk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi! We plan to set up a backup server. While the basic backup procedure is clear -- use some archiving utility like dump, tar, or cpio and send data to the backup server via ssh or a network mount -- there are many details which are unclear for me. The two biggest problems are: 1) What parts are to be backed up? If I backup the whole system, the backup disk will get full soon. You could say it's not necessary, and that only the valueable data should be backed up (and not those parts which are easy to re-create by means of a new installation). But, say, someone breaks into the machince. How could I reliably find out the Achilles heel she used to get in if I don't have a complete system backup? Or if she has a backdoor left behind? Depends on what the risk you trying to mitigate with backup. Think of the problems and how you would get around them. There are file consistency utils you can run to see if root-kits etc have been installed. 2) How to schedule backups? I guess services should stop for the backup period as the backup could be unreliable or inconsistent if disk/file writes were going on during backup. It sounds as if I should drop to single user mode. Or is there a less drastic approach? And if I dropped to single user mode, I would lose control over the box for that period, as the box is accessed via ssh and sshd is also stopped in single user mode -- this sounds scary... With FreeBSD 5.x and later you can snapshop the filesystem then use a special 'dump' to backup that snapshot to the backup machine. have a look at amanda and bacula for how they handle this and do some research on different backup strategies and their risks and benfits wrt to Unix systems - theres lots out there.. -- Martin TYA. -- Csaba Henk My sense of humour is often too subtle to cope with getting smileyd.

Problems with snortreport when trying to look at summary for an alert(s).
Hi, all Im running snort (ver 2.4 ), snortreport (ver 1.2) with postgresql (postgresql ver 8.0.4), php5 (ver 5.0.5). My webserver is apache version 2.0.55, lates from ports with ssl support, and last on 5.4-RELEASE-p8 machine. I having problem with the webinterface to snort (snortreport). It works well when i type in the url for my localwebserver, where it lists all alerts in a given timeframe. But when I press the summary link for an alert I get this error: Warning: pg_exec() [function.pg-exec]: Query failed: ERROR: syntax error at or near ) at character 134 in /usr/local/www/snortreport/DB_pgsql.php on line 41 ERROR: syntax error at or near ) at character 134 I have uncommented print $query in DB_pgsql.php in /usr/local/www/snortreport so I can see the query, its here below: SELECT event.cid, event.sid, iphdr.ip_src, iphdr.ip_dst, EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM event.timestamp) AS timestamp FROM event, iphdr WHERE event.cid = iphdr.cid AND event.sid = iphdr.sid AND event.signature = '14' AND (event.timestamp 1130611696 AND event.timestamp 1130698096) SELECT ip_src, COUNT(*) AS src_count FROM event INNER JOIN iphdr ON event.cid = iphdr.cid AND event.sid = iphdr.sid WHERE ip_src IN () AND (event.timestamp 1130611696 AND event.timestamp 1130698096) GROUP BY iphdr.ip_src Im no SQL expert but I guess the problem is/or has something to do with that its trying to run two SQL queries without ; or am I wrong? I have googled around for some time no, but I can't find something that looks like the problem. Im guesing that this is not a fault generated by me. But have not given up, but I don't know where to go from here. So I hope that somebody could help me or point in the right direction.

Hi!
We plan to set up a backup server.
While the basic backup procedure is clear -- use some archiving utility
like dump, tar, or cpio and send data to the backup server via ssh or a
network mount -- there are many details which are unclear for me.
The two biggest problems are:
1) What parts are to be backed up? If I backup the whole system, the
backup disk will get full soon. You could say it's not necessary, and
that only the valueable data should be backed up (and not those parts
which are easy to re-create by means of a new installation). But, say,
someone breaks into the machince. How could I reliably find out the
Achilles heel she used to get in if I don't have a complete system
backup? Or if she has a backdoor left behind?
Depends on what the risk you trying to mitigate with backup. Think of the
problems and how you would get around them. There are file consistency utils
you can run to see if root-kits etc have been installed.
2) How to schedule backups? I guess services should stop for the backup
period as the backup could be unreliable or inconsistent if disk/file
writes were going on during backup. It sounds as if I should drop to
single user mode. Or is there a less drastic approach? And if I dropped
to single user mode, I would lose control over the box for that period,
as the box is accessed via ssh and sshd is also stopped in single user
mode -- this sounds scary...
With FreeBSD 5.x and later you can snapshop the filesystem then use a
special 'dump' to backup that snapshot to the backup machine.
dump(8) will create a snapshot of a live filesystem, dump the snapshot
and then remove the snapshot, if given the correct flags ('-L').
have a look at amanda and bacula for how they handle this and do some
research on different backup strategies and their risks and benfits wrt to
Unix systems - theres lots out there..

Buildworld and Security advisories.
Hello, list. I am new to FreeBSD source upgrading/patching source tree system. After reading the following chapters from the handbook: 14.14 FreeBSD Security Advisories 20 The Cutting Edge (about rebuilding world) I have some questions. 1) If I install a FreeBSD RELEASE on a machine what do I have to do to patch all those bugs listed in FreeBSD Security Advisories? Is it enough to synchronize my source tree with the STABLE branch or do I have to get all patches and apply them manualy? And if I must patch the source tree manualy do I have to do this after synchronizing the source tree with STABLE or before? Or it doesn't matter? In two words what are the relations between patching the bugs listed in Advisories and the process of synchronizing the source tree of the RELEASE with the STABLE? 2) How often should I synchronize sources with the STABLE? Currently I am working with 4.11 RELEASE.

My first question is: Other then /root, /swap, /user, and /var, what other partitions are needed for a first go at FreeBSD, in Linux /home is often used, but what is a good lineup for FreeBSD other then the ones named so far? The books Ive read so far really dont relate a whole lot in this regard. My second question is: If I need to span a partition over more than one hard drive how is this done? If I were to make a large /user partition over small drives, how are these partition extensions set up? Again the books dont relate how this is done during an installation. I have not seen these subjects pointed out, nor have I come across them so far. The book (s) I have, take one into a step by step method, but do not point out these subjects at the appropriate time during the installation. Thanks, Ron:) - Yahoo!

ghostscript headaches
Hi all, I'm running FBSD 5.4-release-p7. I've had gs-gnu 7.07 installed from when I installed FBSD 5.3. I just installed scribus and it needs a newer gs. I set WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_AFPL=yes, deinstalled gs-gnu, installed gs-afpl, and did a pkgdb -F. Scribus now worked right but cups didn't. I tried portupgrade -f cups\* but it failed in cups-pstoraster (see below). I thought I'd try gs-gpl, but I can't find a WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GPL flag. A few messages on freebsd.org seems to indicate that gs-gpl is the default, but then why am I stuck with gs-gnu?

After reading the following chapters from the handbook: 14.14 FreeBSD Security Advisories 20 The Cutting Edge (about rebuilding world) I have some questions. 1) If I install a FreeBSD RELEASE on a machine what do I have to do to patch all those bugs listed in FreeBSD Security Advisories? Is it enough to synchronize my source tree with the STABLE branch or do I have to get all patches and apply them manualy? And if I must patch the source tree manualy do I have to do this after synchronizing the source tree with STABLE or before? Or it doesn't matter? In two words what are the relations between patching the bugs listed in Advisories and the process of synchronizing the source tree of the RELEASE with the STABLE? 2) How often should I synchronize sources with the STABLE? Currently I am working with 4.11 RELEASE. Thanks! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To get all security fixes for your OS, you should do _one_ of the following: * patch manually and recompile - as stated in the SA * syncronize to the security branch, i.e. RELENG_4_11 or RELENG_5_4, and rebuild world/kernel * syncronize to the stable branch, i.e. RELENG_4, RELENG_5 or RELENG_6, and rebuild world/kernel * perform a binary upgrade You can use either way each time a SA is published, no matter what way you have used last time. For example you can perform a binary upgrade from RELEASE to 5.4-p1, then patch manually and recompile to 5.4-p2 then sync to stable, then sync to security branch and so on. Sometimes binary and manual upgrades leave uname output old, but they always fix a security hole. Often, users manually patch systems where a reboot is very undesirable, sync to security branch on all mission-critical servers, where a reboot is possible, sync to stable on all other servers and use binary upgrades on systems that are very slow, or limited in other ways. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

portaudit reports: how to exclude a specific vulnerability
G'day. I am relatively new to FreeBSD, but failed to find an answer to this question in the handbook, manual pages, or other references about portaudit: At the moment, portaudit is reporting one vulnerability on my system, with the 'p5-Crypt-OpenPGP' package. There isn't, apparently, a release of this package available that resolves the issue. I have checked the advisory and I am quite happy that the specific problem is not going to hurt here, so I don't mind that the theoretically vulnerable version is installed.[1] I can't work out how to tell portaudit to stop bothering me about this particular vulnerability, though. Can I ask it to exclude a vulnerability, or (ever better) a vulnerability/package combination, from reports? I specifically /don't/ want to exclude the package from auditing, though, since I want to know if another security issue turns up for it. Thanks, Daniel Footnotes: [1] The specific issue is a cryptographic weakness that needs a specific and particularly unlikely bit of code written by us before it actually does anything.

I have been doing PC work professionally for over 10 years and unprofessionally for at least 10-15 years before that, and ever since the IDE interface was invented I've had to deal with incompatibilties between the controller and the hard disk. Back in the days that the IDE controller chip was on a paddle card I used to have a box of them and when running into a problem like your doing, I would swap the cards until I got a good combo. This was all ISA stuff of course. Once the PCI came out and they started putting the controller on motherboard, they only way around these problems is to play musical chairs with the disk drives. And all this was long before FreeBSD, let alone Linux, was even a gleam in someone's eye. Your 40GB Maxtor has some moronic timing incompatibility with the IDE chipset that the FreeBSD driver in 5.4/6.0 happens to tickle, there's nothing you can do about it. Use your 80GB disk for the FreeBSD system or go find some other brand of motherboard for your 40GB disk, and things will work fine.

No, if I remember correctly PPP is in generic kernel (both tun for user-level, and ppp for pppd). If I'm wrong, then you can load module. Do this as root user: # For kernel ppp (pppd): kldload if_ppp # For user level ppp: kldload if_tun Then read pppd(8) or ppp(8), if you dont know how to read manual pages, then run following command: man man ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: portaudit reports: how to exclude a specific vulnerability

G'day. I am relatively new to FreeBSD, but failed to find an answer to
this question in the handbook, manual pages, or other references about
portaudit:
At the moment, portaudit is reporting one vulnerability on my system,
with the 'p5-Crypt-OpenPGP' package.
There isn't, apparently, a release of this package available that
resolves the issue.
I have checked the advisory and I am quite happy that the specific
problem is not going to hurt here, so I don't mind that the
theoretically vulnerable version is installed.[1]
I can't work out how to tell portaudit to stop bothering me about this
particular vulnerability, though.
Can I ask it to exclude a vulnerability, or (ever better) a
vulnerability/package combination, from reports?
I think this will do it, put it in /etc/make.conf
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/security/p5-Crypt-OpenPGP}
DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=YES
.endif
-Mike
I specifically /don't/ want to exclude the package from auditing,
though, since I want to know if another security issue turns up for it.
Thanks,
Daniel
Footnotes:
[1] The specific issue is a cryptographic weakness that needs a
specific and particularly unlikely bit of code written by us before
it actually does anything. Not, as they say, going to happen.
