IPFW 'keep state' & 'limit'
Reading the man page on IPFW rule syntax, I get the impression that the 'limit' option uses the stateful dynamic rules table. But it's unclear whether 'keep state' and limit can be used on the same rule, or if the limit option performs the 'keep state' function in addition to the limit function. So as an example $cmd 00390 allow tcp from any to any 22 in via dc0 setup keep-state limit src-addr 3 will this work? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
atk portupgrade errors
I'm running 5.1-RELEASE. For several weeks, when doing a portupgrade, atk won't upgrade. When I run portupgrade -a, I get the following at the end of the run: [Updating the pkgdb in /var/db/pkg ... - 200 packages found (-0 +1) . done] ---> Skipping 'x11-toolkits/gtk20' (gtk-2.2.4_1) because 'devel/atk' (atk-1.4.1) failed ---> Skipping 'devel/libglade2' (libglade2-2.0.1_1) because 'x11-toolkits/gtk20' (gtk-2.2.4_1) failed ---> Skipping 'editors/AbiWord2' (AbiWord2-2.0.1) because 'devel/libglade2' (libglade2-2.0.1_1) failed ---> Skipping 'www/plugger' (plugger-4.0_3) because 'editors/AbiWord2' (AbiWord2-2.0.1) failed ---> Skipping 'textproc/gtkspell2' (gtkspell2-2.0.4) because 'x11-toolkits/gtk20' (gtk-2.2.4_1) failed ---> Skipping 'net/gaim' (gaim-0.71_4) because 'textproc/gtkspell2' (gtkspell2-2.0.4) failed ** The following packages were not installed or upgraded (*:skipped / !:failed) ! devel/atk (atk-1.4.1) (checksum mismatch) * x11-toolkits/gtk20 (gtk-2.2.4_1) * devel/libglade2 (libglade2-2.0.1_1) * editors/AbiWord2 (AbiWord2-2.0.1) * www/plugger (plugger-4.0_3) * textproc/gtkspell2 (gtkspell2-2.0.4) * net/gaim (gaim-0.71_4) Scrolling back and looking at the attempted upgrade of atk shows: >> Checksum mismatch for gnome2/atk-1.4.1.tar.bz2. ===> Refetch for 1 more times files: gnome2/atk-1.4.1.tar.bz2 >> atk-1.4.1.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/gnome2. >> Attempting to fetch from http://www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gnome/sources/atk/1.4/. fetch: atk-1.4.1.tar.bz2: local modification time does not match remote It goes on to try many different mirror sites, each one resulting in this modification time error. This has been the case for several weeks so I assume it's a problem with my installation and not with the port itself. Presumably if everyone was having this problem someone would have fixed it.

Good question--I'll check that next time I do so. What command are you using to try to mount the cd drive? mount /dev/cd* /mnt #No, I didn't use the *--but I tried all the /dev/cd* entries, one at a time, just as I did the /dev/fd* entries. You know the drive works because you installed from it. Yes. Have you checked the PC's bio's to verify that the com ports are enabled and the floppy drive is enabled? No--I'll do that next time through, too. However, see below for why I'm pretty sure the com ports (at least) are enabled. Is the modem powered up before you boot FBSD? Yes. Have you used the modem before? Yes. Can you prove it works on another system? It works on this one while running Windows ME--I tested that. Does this command connect to your com port with the external modem? Tip comx where x is the com port number that has modem If it connects enter AT for the hayes attention command. Should reply with OK It replies "connected" and is now hung. I never got to enter AT. Use ~ the . keyboard keys to exit tip command. The keyboard is now unresponsive, both to the ~ commands (~. and ~?) and to Alt-F3ing to another logon window. Power cycling... I did not see the floppy light--I had it disconnected while adding the secondary drive. I'll check that next time it's powered down. The floppy is enabled in BIOS. Serial port A is Auto, the floppy disk controlled is Enabled. I'm going to leave it in BIOS setup while I do some things with my daughter--back in a bit. Thanks!

Okay, so you actually would like features that are specific to 5.x. That's a good enough reason to try it; from a user point of view, 5.2 seems to be roughly comparable to 4.9 in dependability. If you can install and configure the system, 5.2 will probably work well for you. This implies that you can go through a fairly thorough system test on your actual hardware before you install the system(s) in their permanent location (or at least before you bring them into production use). If you have any trouble that worries you at all, drop back to 4.9 and install that.

However if you've just installed the system then chances are the sshd_config is unmodified from the default settings. Try turning off the challenge-response stuff as I suggested in my earlier e-mail. ie. make it so that sshd_config contains: ChallengeResponseAuthentication no > /etc/pam.d/ssh That looks fine. Hmmm... This does look like a peculiar interaction of your particular SSH client software and the OpenSSH server code on FreeBSD. Normally I'd suggest running the client side connection with debugging turned up high, eg: % ssh -v -v -v host.example.com but I don't know what the equivalent of that is for the client software you're using. A very good diagnostic test though is to run the server side with the debugging turned up. A good trick is to run it on an alternative port so you can run it in parallel with your regular sshd. eg: # sshd -d -d -d -p 24 You can then connect to the alternate port by: % ssh host.example.com:24 This will produce quite a lot of output, and exit after the ssh session. By comparing this output to the equivalent output from a machine where you don't have the problem you should be able to tell what the FreeBSD box is doing differently, and maybe work out how to fix it. Be aware that the full debug output from sshd should not be published as it can contain privileged information.

As Matthew suggested, you can put the line

Which FreeBSD version? And are you running the OpenSSH server

Judging by name and version number, I think he's not running OpenSSH
at all, but the other ssh implementation from ssh.org
When I login to my machine, I'm prompted to enter an "authentication
response". A window is displayed with "Enter Authentication Response"
in the title bar, and two buttons at the bottom ('OK' and 'Cancel') -
the text says:
Enter your authentication response.

Sounds like you've got the PAM based challenge-response authentication
enabled in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config (which is the default), but
your /etc/pam.conf (FreeBSD 4.x) or /etc/pam.d (FreeBSD 5.x) has a
modified configuration.
Here are a couple of things to try --
Turn off Challenge-response authentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Change:
#ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes
to
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
and then:
# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`
to get it to reread the config.
-- or --
Double check the PAM settings: they should look like this in /etc/pam.conf

The /etc/pam.d case is similar, except you should have a file called

Apache2 and mod_perl2
I have just installed FreeBSD 4.9 and am having problems with Apache2 and mod_perl2. I used the ports, which was updated immediately after install, and did a 'make install clean' for both apache2 and mod_perl2, more specifically apache-2.0.48_2 and mod_perl2-1.99r12. I have not gotten fancy yet and have only included the following lines in my httpd.conf for mod_perl2: LoadModule perl_module libexec/apache2/mod_perl.so PerlModule Apache2 The problem is that when I do '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start' the machine just hangs, for a long time (4-8 minutes), before apache finally comes up. I checked the logs and there aren't any negative entries. I recently had to down system to move it, upon reboot it hung for 45 minutes before I had to kill the 'apache.sh start/apachectl start/httpd -k start' processes. When I say hung I don't mean the entire system, just the startup processes of apache2. I have slightly older versions on a 4.8 box that was installed identically to what was described here and all is fine. Any ideas?

I posted about this a month or two ago and found that a couple other people were having the same problem, but nobody seemed to have a solution. My system exhibits this problem with either xmms or mp3blaster and it is seemingly random. Again, `fstat | grep dsp' reveals nothing. I am using blackbox and have no sound daemon of any sort. However, I am recently of the opinion that it may be a memory related issue. I have 256MB of RAM, but my machine is always hovering on being out of physical memory and usually dips into swap. I can consistently resolve the problem by closing, say, Mozilla Firebird to free up some memory. I then relaunch Firebird and am fine for while. Then, after a time, the problem comes back and I can either continually press the play button until it decides to play, or I can close some application. I have no idea whether this is actually some interesting issue relating to swap/memory and the sound device or just a co-incidence. In any case it seems to work. This is an awful workaround, but I don't know what else to do at the moment. Nathan -- gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys D8527E49 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 43, Issue 4
Guys, You can get a two slot chassis for a mini-ITX or flex-ATX board. The Travla C137 can take a 2-slot riser, though you are limited to using a 2.5" HDD. I used one of these chassis' for my primary router, with two 3Com 3C905TX NIC's installed. Although present and working, I don't use the onboard NIC; though the problems I had may have been with the cable modem, not the NIC. Caseoutlet sells them, but you can get more info on them from Travla. (http:// www.travla.com/Products/C137/c137.html) Keep in mind, the onboard NIC is there, so all you really need is one additional PCI NIC.

Making the root partition smaller that 1000M, puting it on the first disk, etc etc doesnt help in either case. I have also tried a few different bootloaders, in all cases, the bootloader either failed to load, or failed to boot the OS. With Linux (redhat7.x) I was able to build a bootable floppy on which the location of the root partition was stored, and boot off that. I could also interrupt the boot, enter different values, and boot off of a different partition. Hardly ideal, but satisfactory. What bootloader did Redhat give you? Isn't it grub? I've used grub for ages to dual-boot Win2k and FreeBSD - it can boot FreeBSD no problem. My FreeBSD slice is at the start of my second drive so I type into grub: root (hd1,0,a) chainloader +1 boot And hey-presto FreeBSD boots no problem!

Help: xdm is cycled when enabled
Dear Sirs, I am writing to you because I have some problem with recently installed Unix FreeBSD 5.1. I must say you that I am new user of FreeBSD, and therefore I need some advice. And here is my problem: when I installed FreeBSD and added KDE environment as the default X Window environment for my system, everything was perfect, except the fact that I cannot enable xdm to log in X Window environment properly (HERE IS THE CORE OF THE PROBLEM: when I enabled xdm in etc/ttys file, then after rebooting xdm started, but when I entered login and password, xdm, again, started, that is, this program was like cycled) instead of logging in console. I strictly followed the instructions given in Chapter 5 of the FreeBSD Handbook, but I couldn't do anything about it. May be the problem is that the instructions are not enough detailed for me. That is why I ask you to help me. Thank you in advance.

Re: agp error with Radeon 7500 disables DRI

That's an old version. The PDFlib authors' latest version is 5.0.2, and it seems that tey've removed the old versions from their distribution sites. What you should do is update your ports tree using cvsup(8): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html And see the example supfiles in /usr/share/samples/cvsup. Note that you always need 'tag=.' when updating ports. Now when you go to install PHP4, it will use available versions of software for its dependencies.

This is actually a very difficult problem: FreeBSD is designed to let
people run executables, not to stop them doing that...
Put all of the user home directories on a separate partition which you
mount with the noexec flag.
Make sure that the users have no write access to anywhere outside
their home directories. This includes the various world writable
temporary directories /tmp, /var/tmp, etc. However, not permitting
users to write files in /tmp or /var/tmp will lead to much wailing and
gnashing of teeth, because a lot of applications are going to break.
Investigate setting the TMPDIR environment variable either from
/etc/login.conf or else from /etc/csh.login (for tcsh(1) users) or
/etc/profile (for bash(1) or sh(1) users) to ameliorate that. If you
set TMPDIR=${HOME}/tmp each user can have their own private temporary
area under their home directory. Note however that this only has an
advisory effect: not all applications will obey $TMPDIR.
You can mount the shared temporary directories noexec -- which will
work exceeedingly well 99.9% of the time. Investigate mounting /tmp
as a memory filesystem -- see mount_mfs(8) -- as a good way to do
that. Symlink other shared temporary areas to your memory filesystem
if you don't want to have more than one. Nb. One occasion doing this
will definitely cause problems is when you are updating your system by
'make installworld' -- however that is a sufficiently uncommon event
that you can feasibly do a temporary remount of /tmp without noexec in
that case.
Even so, a determined user could probably still work out ways to get
an executable executed, but they'd have to put some effort into
working out how.
Cheers,
Matthew

One solution is to install the procmail port (ports: mail/procmail) which contains a stunningly useful utility called formail(1). Amongst formail's many talents is the ability to split up a mbox format mailbox into individual messages and pipe each into a program. So in order to resend all of the messages in your dead.letter you could try: % formail -s /usr/sbin/sendmail -v -t -oiee < dead.letter Or to split up the dead.letter mailbox into individual numbered messages: % formail -s /bin/sh -c 'cat > msg.$FILENO' < dead.letter and you can pipe each message into sendmail as above to re-send it: % /usr/sbin/sendmail -v -t -oiee < msg.999 Nb. be careful when doing this sort of thing, or you'll spray e-mails all over the place and make yourself quite unpopular.
