If he had local DNS configured, there would be no query, and therefore no issue, but setting the timeout to 0 seconds using define(`confTO_IDENT', 0s) does remove the delay, but not the underlying problem. You sure? IDENT has nothing to do with DNS, and I don't know of any program that does an IDENT query solely if DNS data is not available. I can't see why that would make any sense. What is most likely the OP's root problem is that he's sending e-mail from a machine that's on the other side of a firewall that blocks IDENT traffic but doesn't actively reject it. So sendmail has to sit around and wait for the query to time out. Allow me to clarify the scenario. The intent is for a local Windows box to relay outgoing SMTP through the FreeBSD box. Both machines are on the same LAN segment. No intervening Firewalls (except software firewalls on the boxes). Without the IDENT timeout, this is the traffic.

Sendmail Five Second Greeting Delay
When I connect to sendmail on a local interface, sendmail responds to the connection with its 220 greeting immediately. If I connect to sendmail from another machine on my (home) LAN, sendmail delays five seconds before sending the greeting. I would like it to respond immediately. A quick search turned up a greet_delay feature in sendmail that would cause this type of behavior. To the best of my knowledge, I do not use this feature. Just to be sure, I tried to explicitly enable it with both a default 0 second timeout and an explicit 0 second access rule. This did not the resolve the issue. I am at a loss. What could be going on?

Re: slowloris, accf_http and POST requests
On June 22, 2009, Ruben de Groot wrote: Can enybody explain why the http accept filter only works on GET/HEAD requests? The reason I ask is I was checking up on the slowloris DOS tool (http://ha.ckers.org/slowloris/slowloris.pl) and, like others before me, found that the -httpready switch (which uses POST instead of GET) renders the accf_http module useless as a protection against this kind of attack. With the POST request, the client sends additional data after the header. This additonal data is the form data (the x-www-form-urlencoded encoded name-value pairs). The filter will allow the request to proceed to the application after the header as been received but before the form data has been received. A slowloris attack could exploit this fact by sending a complete header but then slowing doling out the form data. To protect against this scenario, the filter would need to be modified to collect the form data as well. Of course, it doesn't stop there. The filter would also have to deal with multi-part forms.

Second, this kind of limit is enough to discourage script kiddies, but caps my downside risk to an acceptable (to me) one minute lock out. Anyway, it works for me.

Re: Lost SSH X1 Forwarding with Xorg 7.2
On July 5, 2007, Olivier Nicole wrote: A nice *feature* that I just noticed, I apologize if it has been mentionned earlier. xorg 7.2 tends to install all the components in /usr/loca insteal of the traditional /usr/X11R6. But sshd is still expecting xauth to be in /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth; so sshd_config has to be modified to reflect the fact that xauth new path is /usr/local/bin/xauth. So the default /etc/ssh/sshd_config should be adapted to reflect this change... The default location in /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth should still work with the symlink in place. However, I had a similar problem to yours. Having tracked 7.2 for some time, I had X11BASE=${LOCALBASE} in /etc/make.conf. When building sshd, LOCALBASE is not defined and X11BASE ends up being the empty string. This then caused XAUTH_PATH to be set to /bin/xauth which, of course, does not exist. Removing the statement from /etc/make.conf fixed this -- it isn't required anymore.
