rtl8139 on my machine, running FreeBSD 5.1, there's no trouble,
everything works fine.

maybe you can check the pci controller, is FreeBSD support that device?

[Lev Klimin]

Good morning!

I have 4.9-release. I'm having little problem with time. I live in
Russia on Moscow-west+00 time. My clock is local. My timezome is
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Moscow.
To resolve this trouble I see following:
1. Say FreeBSD that my clock is local.
2. Set timezone.

I used for it /stand/sysinstall. But FreeBSD think that clock is GMT,
not local.
Let's now 9:46:03 in Moscow
#date
12:46:03 (MSK)

#zdump /usr/share/timezone/Europe/Moscow
/usr/share/timezone/Europe/Moscow Fri Dec 5 12:46:07 2003 MSK
#diff /etc/localtime /usr/share/timezone/Europe/Moscow

Why my FreeDSD work on GMT and not on localtime?

Thank you.

There have been reports of instabilities with the 8139.  I don't know
if it's really the hardware to blame or the driver, but the
documentation for the hardware is apparently so terrible that it's
difficult to say.

I'm using an 8139 in a number of places, including (currently) my main
server machine.  The switch notes a large number of errors under load,
and I'm thinking of changing to a different card the next time I have
to reboot.

Rather than reboot your machine, you'll probably find that the
following sequence unwedges the card:

  ifconfig rl0 down
  ifconfig rl0 up

I had this in a cron job at one point.

Re: IPSEC Tunnel Routing question

[Matthew Faircliff]

Hello Tom,

So I assume by working you mean that the two computers can ping one
another? 

If so, simply set the computer in Builing B to have a default route to
the IP of the computer in Building A:

[Building B]# route add default 10.0.0.1

Where 10.0.0.1 is the IP of the computer in Building A. Also, ensure
that any firewall in A allows traffic from Building B to flow in and
out router etc.

HTH.

I would like to route all traffic over a gif/ipsec tunnel

Existing internet connection in building A
Building to building wireless(between building A and Building B)

To secure the traffic going across the wireless I would like to run an 
ipsec tunnel between freebsd 5.1 based machines sitting at Building A

a problem with routing.  Building B does not have an internet connection 
so it needs to use the internet connection at Building A.

To lay it out in more details
Router at building A connections to the internet
FreeBSD 5.1 machine at Building A connects to router and to wireless bridges
FreeBSD 5.1 machine at Building B connects to Wireless bridges and internal network

What do I need to do you get traffic to flow from Building B to 
Building A and out A's internet connection?

I have tried setting building B defaultrouter to building A internal address(other

Artsd gets started by KDE by default. It's a sound-daemon just like ESD. It 
allows multiple programs to play sound at the same time.
If you don't need/want the artsd running you can disable it in the KDE control 
pannel.

I have had the problem with this card on FreeBSD 5.0.
Problem was resolved by recompiling of kernel with new drivers from Realtec.
It seems there is many modification of 8139 chipset that have a postfix 
( "D", "C",...).
When I choose driver that match my chipset all become ok.
I don't know whether this driver was included in 5.1, so this is only 
assumption, and it doesn't help to you.

You mean that the CMOS clock is set to local time?  That is only
necessary when you have non-Unix OSes installed on the machine.

The CMOS clock is also known as the BIOS clock -- it operates on
battery independently of the system being up or down, and independent
of whatever OS you're using.

The default setting of the CMOS clock to UTC gives best results -- you
should use that setting unless you have good reason not to.

If your CMOS clock isn't set to UTC, you should have an empty file
called /etc/wall_cmos_clock, and you need to run adjkerntz(8)
occasionally to update the CMOS clock from the kernel clock (which
always runs UTC) -- amongst other things this will deal with changing
the clock at the beginning/end of daylight savings time. This should
be handled automatically via /etc/crontab.

Try using /usr/sbin/tzsetup to set the timezone -- it will be quite
familiar to you from sysinstall(8).

Sounds like CMOS clock is actually running UTC.  If you really have to
set it to wall-clcock time, try setting the kernel clcock date/time
correctly using date(1), and then run 'adjkerntz -a' to set the CMOS
clock from the kernel clock.  Or you can set the CMOS clock from the
BIOS setup screens.

Matthew

You are probably seeing the supposedly blocked packets on the "outside" of
network. Observe them on "inside", i.e., on the interface not fxp0.

What you are seeing are packets ipfilter is just about to handle.


I don't understand your second question. Are you thinking about tcp wrapper,

In fact, there should be a way, because a valid superblock copy has a
correct checksum. Perhaps I'll hack up a program to do that taking
information from the /usr/src/sys/ufs/... There's also a magic number
for a superblock, mentioned in fs.h (in 4.8 it's 0x011954). So, for me,
grepping gives

A good idea would also be to print out the hd of the superblock contents

Not sure what you mean here, what command would you issue via tcpdump or
snort to do what you suggest?  

> What you are seeing are packets ipfilter is just about to handle.
Right - it's just I would have thought that ipfilter handled packets
before they reached any traffic dumping utils.  I see what you're
getting at.  Presumably snort for example uses the bpf driver via pcap(?) to
capture network traffic...

actually reading bpf(4) clears things up a little:

 Associated with each open instance of a bpf file is a user-settable
 packet filter.  Whenever a packet is received by an interface, all file
 descriptors listening on that interface apply their filter.  Each
 descriptor that accepts the packet receives its own copy.

Let me rephrase that one :P  I meant is there a method - for example
such as adding some kind of routing via arp - so that packets are

You could bind the ip's to the loopback interface, but I think the firewall

What is the card plugged into at the other end? I had the same problem on a 
friends machine, the network card just seemed to stop passing any data after 
some period of time between a few minutes and 24 hours or so. After much much 
much wasting of time and money, it turned out to not actually be a problem 
with the network card, but the Netgear hub that it was plugged into 
"crashing" on that port and refusing to pass any more data.

I still have to try and take that damn hub back and get a refund since it's 
about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Interesting(!) idea but kind of does the DOS'ers job for 'em!

I'm really curious as to what type of attack it actually was.  Right now
I know:

- it was aimed at a single address on port 80
- global apache errorlog was relatively quiet in the run up to the
  exhaustion of apache with only a small hint that a larger number of
  requests were being made:

[Thu Dec  4 18:47:46 2003] [info] server seems busy, (you may need to increase 
StartServers, or Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 8 children, there are 0 idle, and 146 
total children
[Thu Dec  4 18:47:47 2003] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising 
the MaxClients setting
[Thu Dec  4 18:52:34 2003] [notice] child pid 91863 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

[Fri Dec  5 00:13:04 2003] [notice] child pid 38280 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Fri Dec  5 01:35:52 2003] [info] server seems busy, (you may need to increase 
StartServers, or Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 8 children, there are 0 idle, and 17 
total children

  note the 5min gap between the server reaching the MaxClients setting
  and the server collapsing with no err log entries in between

- no HTTP requests were logged by apache from any of the dozen or so
  attacking hosts

- snort captured only SYN packets from the attacking hosts (I suppose
  this explains why no requests were logged by apache)
  
- all the attacking hosts had both port 25 and 80 open, although none of
  those hosts accepted inbound connections to those ports

Would appear someone had control over a few zombie hosts and was able to
coordinate a distributed attack - thankfully it was only a dozen or so
hosts :P

I upgrade manually using portupgrade where necessary every weekend after
the weekly periodic run.  Without doubt apache is up to date - 
unless any changes to the ports in the last few days :P

Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) mod_accounting/0.5 PHP/4.3.4 mod_perl/1.28
mod_throttle/3.1.2

Gets me that something as simple as a flood of packets can just
cripple a service so easily given enough bandwidth (although adding ipf
rules helped a lot).

I've not actually checked out mod_bandwidth, I use mod_throttle - fwiw,
it's not great for multiple vhosts :( - should check that out, thanks.

mod_dosevasive sounds even more interesting.  Heading toward that link
now...

Very interesting, particularly this feature:

The blacklist can/should be configured to talk to your network's
firewalls and/or routers to push the attack out to the front lines, but
this is not required.

This is something I could do with for Exim as well :P

Not sure that it would have helped last night actually - no hits
were actually registered by apache during the attack from any of the
attacking hosts.  As I said in another post, all the packets I captured
from the attacking hosts with snort during the packet attack only had the SYN
flag set - it appeared to be the sheer volume of these packets to port
80 that was causing apache child procs to die rapidly in succession.

The hardest part over the few hours the attack lasted was working out
from the snort logs which _bad_ hosts I'd already blocked with ipf, which
hosts were legit and which hosts I still had to block  - over time more
hosts joined in the attack.  The last 20mins or so consisted of a flood
from a single host I'd missed in my blocking spree!

Fun and games :=P

Gnome2 Portinstall Error

[Barry Skidmore]

I am trying to do a portinstall of Gnome2 on a 5.1-RELEASE-p11 machine
and receive the following error a while after the Ghostscript Driver
selection screen:

Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa
/tmp/portinstall1120200.0 make reinstall
Fix the installation problem and try again.

I looked in /tmp and the portinstall1120200.0 file does not seem to
exist.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

I don't know, but I don't think it will help much.  It would still be
possible to come up in singler-user mode, which let the user bypass
anything you set up anyway.

Sounds like you don't have an http server running on the machine.

If you do, then maybe a local firewall is getting in the way.

Do you try http://127.0.0.1/ or http://localhost/ ? In the second

Sounds like you have configured apache to listen only on 192.168.0.x .
Do you have something like this in your httpd.conf ? :
Listen 192.168.0.x:80

If so, try adding
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
or change it into
Listen 80

Getting access to the loader prompt gives you rather more power than
just single user mode.  An attacker can boot their own kernel --
either from removable media or over the net -- can load their own
kernel modules into your regular kernel -- how about a module that
traps all of the keystrokes on each tty/pty: passwords would be a dime
a dozen -- and all sorts of other hijinks.

Single user mode can be protected by setting the console status to
insecure in /etc/ttys -- which will require that the root password is
given for access.  That protection is trivially bypassed with a fixit
disk and access to the loader/boot prompt.

The only other possible protection is to set a BIOS password, but that
means the machine will not re-boot unattended.

If you want to allow free access to a machine in a public place, then
to prevent people taking it over you need to:

i) Physically prevent them from using their own removable media --
   floppy, CD and DVD drives either have to be removed, or secured
   by lock and key[1].

   ii) USB and other ports must be inaccessible -- can't get round the
   protections by installing your own hardware.

  iii) Must not use the local keyboard/mouse/video card for the system
   console -- making the serial port carry the console is a good
   idea, especially if you can arrange for a secured console
   server.  The public absolutely has to be prevented from
   accessing the system console.  Even so, while you can redirect
   the system console from within FreeBSD, you can't do similarly
   with the BIOS setup screens.  For that you need something like
   a RealWeasel card. 

Setting up an automatic login on the publically accessible terminal --
so that the attacker cannot access the Login: prompt is a good idea.
Making that auto-login run a restricted software environment under a
non-privileged UID -- usually some sort of menu system or web-based
interface which restricts what the user may do to a small subset of
commands would be a good idea.

As would booting from read-only media -- not having a writable hard
drive in a machine does cramp the style of most attackers.

Cheers,

Matthew

[1] If you need access to these devices while running -- say you're
setting up a kiosk system where you can record music tracks onto CD-RW
-- then it should be possible to disable the devices in the BIOS, so
the system will ignore them at boot time, but let the usual boot-time
hardware probe find them so that they're available at run time.  Of
course, in this scenario, you'll have to prevent any attacker getting
access to the BIOS setup, which is very difficult on a standard PC
system.

RE: live cd login

[fbsd_user]

Your post is so short, and without any description of what you were
doing, or any background to set the stage.
So I am taking a shot in the dark here.

You just installed FBSD and on the first boot of the system you are
presented with the login prompt, and you are clueless about what it
means.

All UNIX like systems have an master, or god like user login account
which has unlimited powers on the system. This account is called
root. During the install one of the questions you answered was to
assign an password to the root account.  After booting your system
when the login prompt is displayed enter the word root and hit
enter, then enter the password you assigned during the install and
you are in the system as the god of the box.

You really should read the online FBSD handbook at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/

I think you can just skip that question, unless you want snmpd to
monitor the process and send a trap if it stops.

-- begin quote --

BIOS
Enhanced Disk Drive Specification
Version 1.1
May 9, 1995
Phoenix Technologies Ltd.


4.3 Geometric Translations

Some applications get device geometry
information simply by reading the tables which are
accessed via the Int 41h/46h pointers, they fail to
call Int 13h Fn 08h. These are âill-behavedâ
applications. Ill-behaved applications fall into two
categories: some of them read the Int 41h data and
then use the conventional Int 13h interface for
accessing the device. These are âcompatibleâ ill-
behaved applications. The remaining ill-behaved
applications read the Int 41h/46h data and then
access the drive in a proprietary manner. These are
incompatible ill-behaved applications.

4.3.1 Compatible Ill-Behaved Applications

Compatible ill-behaved applications require that
address 0, 2, and 14 (Cylinder, Head, and Sector)
information in the FDPT be identical to the
information returned in Int 13h Fn 08h. This class
of application normally fails to call Int 13h Fn 08h
to get device geometry, but uses Int 13h Fn 02h to
read data.

4.3.2 Incompatible Ill-Behaved Applications

Incompatible ill-behaved applications require that
address 0, 2, and 14 information have the
geometry returned by ID drive data words 1, 3, and
6, a requirement that can violate restrictions placed
on Standard FDPTs. Further, these incompatible
ill-behaved applications may not check for the
Translated FDPT signature (A0h at byte 3).
Examples of incompatible ill-behaved applications
are SCO Unix and early versions of Novell Netware.

4.3.3 Resolving the Compatibility Problem

The BIOS can only serve one class of these ill-
behaved applications each time the system boots.
This presents the BIOS and the USER with a
compatibility problem. Phoenix has chosen to add
a Setup field which allows the user to select which
ill-behaved applications will function correctly.
The menu item reads âLarge Disk Access Modeâ.
This field defaults to âDOSâ, which creates a
Translated FDPT. Compatible ill-behaved
applications will operate correctly when âDOSâ is
selected.

The remaining selection for Large Disk Access
Mode is âOTHERâ. Incompatible ill-behaved
applications will function correctly with
âOTHER,â which creates a Standard FDPT.
Because this format uses only physical geometries,
âOTHERâ creates problems for the compatible ill-
behaved applications by generating an illegal
Standard FDPT with more than 1024 cylinders.
The conventional Int 13h interface, however,
continues to use a Translated FDPT, which is
maintained internally by the BIOS, and is
accessable only through Int 13h Fn 08h. SETUP
never changes the method of translation used by
the BIOS. Well behaved DOS and Windows
applications continue to function normally because
they only use Int 13h Fn 08h, which returns
translated geometry.

RE: What exactly is ipfilter?

[fbsd_user]

FBSD comes with two firewall applications built into the base
release. IPFW and IPFILTER. IPFW is an FBSD in-house project which
authored IPFW so the handbook leads the reader into thinking it's
the only firewall in FBSD. IPFW has just gone through an rewrite and
a bunch of code bloat was added in the form of new rule options
targeted at the professional FBSD user. It still contains the NATD
stateful bug and the stateless and simple stateful rule formats.
These rule formats do not provide the level of firewall security
necessary to protect your private network. I have used both
firewalls and have found that IPFILTER has cleaner stateful rule
format and in general is much easier to configure.  The nat process
is done out side of the firewall where by IPFW performs the NAT
process as subroutine called from within the filter rules.  Go with
IPFILTER you will be glade you did.

I'm looking through rc.conf and the kernel config file for FreeBSD
4.9
(recently downloaded it, my last upgrade was 4.5 so I was way
behind,
and this is a new install because my old firewall died). I'm used to
using ipfw and natd for my firewall, but now I'm seeing ipfilter,
ipnat
and ipmon. I've done a google search on all of www.freebsd.org for
ipfilter, but it only seems to show up in release notes, and the
online
handbook doesn't really talk about it. Since I haven't recompiled my
new
kernel, should I consider this instead of ipfw and natd? What's the
difference, exactly?

On a related note, I'm not sure what the usefulness of IPDIVERT is
either, so I don't know if I should compile it in the kernel or not.

Ended up writing a script that would kill it when I used to play

A lot of people are going to give you an RTFM style response back to the
install instructions on www.freebsd.org to this question but to be a little
more helpful:

FreeBSD is released with two trains of code. STABLE and CURRENT.

CURRENT as the name suggests has cutting edge code and aspects of it will be
untested in the wider user community. 5.1 is the latest release in the
CURRENT train.

STABLE as the name suggests is stable code that has been widely used and
should be bug free (as far as this is possible with software). 4.9 is the
latest release in the STABLE train.

If you want cutting edge, install current and be aware of the caveats of
using it.

If you have a production server install stable.

At some point in the future I'm assuming there will be a 5.X release as part
of the STABLE train.

Me personally, I've always stuck with stable and appreciate it for that. The
only time I've had a stability problem with the stable code is when using
the NVIDIA driver, which naturally can't be attributed to the BSD code
itself.

Ta,
Phil Payne.

Sounds like you're trying to use packages built for 4.9-STABLE on an
old release.  This isn't supported (see http://www.freebsd.org/ports),
but try installing the pkg_install port.

Re: Questions about updating...

[rotten rottie]

I know this is probably a touchy subject but..

"... the ports tree isn't versioned, it's the equivalent of current"

Wouldnt it be logical to have current/stable versions of the ports tree ?
Then when you install a base system from cd it could install a stable pkg 
version, then once the system is installed you could use a port-supfile for 
"stable" and update all of the pkg versions that are installed instead of 
cvs'ing /usr/src and recompiling the system ? Save the /usr/src for the core 
os, and allow things like bind, ssh, ssl to be updated with portupgrade 
instead of a make world or having to make the apps manually.

I am sorry if I stepped on any toes .. I dont mean to stir up any trouble .. 
Just an outside observer trying to get started with freebsd.

I am a linux user that wants to switch to freebsd... I am a bit confused

about applying updates etc..

I installed a box for trial it was 5.1, I wanted to see if I could use
ports
to update openssh for a test examp. After the port installed I noticed
that
another version of openssh was installed on the system. I talked with a
friend and he said that it was part of usr/src and I could update it by
compiling the usr.bin version.. which was fine and worked. Here are my
questions:
1) if there are two trees(lack of better words) why would ssh exist in
both
the system tree and the ports tree ? Wouldnt it be better to have it in
the
ports tree ?
Well, it IS in the ports tree, but bear a few things in mind:
1. Everything in /usr/src is considered part of the base system, equivalent 
to 'system' in GenToo (unsurprisingly, as GenToo Portage/emerge is based 
heavily on bsd ports...but see below)

2. The ports tree is optional, but where you can track system source 
updates to a given CVS label, eg STABLE (recommended for 
production/stability), When you build from a port, it essentially builds 
the package and does a pkg_add, so it's still tracked by the bsd package 
system.

This combination allows you to keep the base system at a stable level, and 
then either NOT update your ports tree to get the equivalent ports from the 
particular label you're tracking on a given system, or to selectivly update 
single ports software, or all of the ports collection.

2) I have used gentoo in the past and am curious if there is something
simular to emerge -up world/system -- I would like to cvs the ports/sys
and
then be able to see if anything need upgrading .. is this possible ?
Yep, install portupgrade and cvsup. If it's on a slower system, highly 
recommend doing it via pkg_add -r portupgrade or pkg_add -r cvsup
to avoid having to compile ruby, perl and possibly other dependencies from 
scratch. Once you become familiar with the way ports/portupgrade and cvsup 
work (Note- sections on all 3 in the handbook, should be installed under 
/usr/share/doc/handbook on your system), you can then if you decide to, use 
portupgrade and the buildworld target to effectively rebuild your entire 
system from source.

The quickest equivalent to emerge -pUD world is using pkg_version

3) Say there was a update to openssh .. which would be the proper way to

update .. sync the sys tree and then just update ssh .. or sync the tree
and
recompile the system ? or remove the sys version and install the port
version and update the port ?
Set up cvsup properly (handbook + example file in /usr/share/examples) to 
the label you want to track to, cron it, and have it mail you output, and 
subscribe to the freebsd security mailing list. Either should be enough to 
give you some indication by itself..

I am very happy with freebsd .. Im still in the exploring stage .. The
reasons for my questions is that I am a little weary of using freebsd in
production if I dont easily know when updates are avail, having to
recompile
the system everytime I need a patch for a service.
You don't nescessarily need to recompile the entire base system, let alone 
the equivalent of 'world,' for an update. portupgrade and pkg_version will 
help

If I understand your question, you could put the following line in your
/boot/loader.conf file:

autoboot_delay="0"

I think this will effectively prevent users from interrupting the loader
to make changes.  Just make sure that you have some other way to boot
the system, such as a floppy, in case you later run into problems.

4.9 is the stable production release, while 5.1 (and in a few weeks,
5.2) is the development release that will eventually become the stable
release. FreeBSD 4 will be developed (well, maintained, since few new
features are added to it at this time, mostly driver updates from what
I've seen) until the development team thinks FreeBSD 5 at least as
fast and rock solid as FreeBSD 4. This is planned to happen when FreeBSD
5.3 released; at that point, active development for FreeBSD 4 will
halt.

FreeBSD 5.1 is a development release. While it runs OK for most people,
some architectural things are going to change with 5.2 and 5.3, and
you're advised not to rely on it with your critical stuff, but use 4.9
instead.

Hope this clears things up.

mount_smbfs should look more like this:

mount_smbfs //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/share /mountpoint

It will then prompt you for a password unless you've configured ~/.nsmbrc

problem is this one: when i didnt put in my config
file the line:"device   ed0 at isa? disable port 0x280
irq 10 iomem 0xd8000" i couldnt use my NIC, and my NIC
is on PCI(and ed0 is for isa)...The dmesg.boot file in
this case is bad.boot(atached to this e-mail).When i
put that line, i can use the NIC. In both cases the
config files are the same(only that line is the
difference)(the config file is atached to this
e-mail:k).The dmesg.boot file in the case with that
line is last.boot(atached to this e-mail). The second
problem is why do i get those errors(at the begining
of last.boot). In the case of last.boot i get this
error(after root is logged in):dhclient: send-packet:

Well., there's ls -G, but you could have found that in the man page, right?

ls is not a web browser. Try www/lynx. if you want to grab a web page, try

DLINK & VIA Rhine

[Alex D'Elia]

Hi People,


i got a problem and cant define if it is a matter of
On Board Ethernet Chip for Via Rhine or of the DLink
Wireless Card

My MB is a MSI KT4V Series ( Sound + Lan )

In any way, FreeBSD-5.1 does not find the device,
even with a new GENERIC kernel.
I am doing a new installation on a New HD on the same Machine,
 ( because of other reasons )
by setting up the Network i could not find the interface,
so i am installing over the Onboard vr0
but i'd like to put in function the DLINK-DWL-G520


Any suggestion for debuggin would be appreciated,
thanks a million for now
:-)


here my dmesg report as before the new install,
i choose wlan and wi option in the kernel
but as you can see::

NFS/AMD problems on 5.1R - losing homedirs sporadically

[Matt Wilbur]

Hi all,

Am upgrading/cleaning up our internal mail hub, old one was 4.8-STABLE,
new one is 5.1-R (i know, i know, shouldn't run 5.x as production system
yet, but man - it all went so well until the end!) 

So i problem is with AMD. Config is exactly the same as with 4.x, as 
is the nfs, netgroup, etc. stuff. host is an ns client. user logs in,
homedir automounts fine. User pokes around, does random usery stuff, and
at some point (and sometimes at no point), their home directory will no
longer be mounted. ls ~ returns a prompt.  

I apologize for the length. Looks like this:

Apache2 tuning?

[Omer Faruk Sen]

I have searched on google for a apache2 performance tuning document on 
FreeBSD but there is not much document and all of them repeat themselves. 

Is there any document for that. By the way is it suggest to compile and run 
apache2 on freebsd with ``worker MPM''. And especially is there anyone in 
this list that compile and run apache2 with linuxthreads? (Especially on a 
production server?) 

Thanks.

Re: Gnome2 Portinstall Error

[Barry Skidmore]

Joe,

I found a work-around for this problem.  At the Ghostscript driver
screen, if I just accept the default drivers, and not add VGA drivers,
that error does not occur.

Gnome2 is still compiling, and hopefully will complete this time.

Thanks for your reply,

Proftpd 1.28 + FreeBSD 5.1

[Kliment Andreev]

Hi,

I have a strange problem with proftpd 1.28. When I connect to the ftp server
with a client (same problem from the inside/outside the network) I got that
message "connected to abc.xyz.com" immediately, but after that, there is a
lag for about 5 seconds before login prompt comes. After that everything is
working normal. All other services (mail/www) are working fine. Is this an
issue with a proftpd?

xmms will only play 1 mp3 and then stop

[Ray Seals]

xmms will only play one MP3 and then will not play another one.  The new
song will display the title but won't play.  If I click the play button
it just blinks the display and show 00:00.  This is the case with
selected mp3's from a directory or a play list.  The only way to play
another mp3 is to exit out of X and restart X.

I believe this may be a problem with KDE but don't know what additional
information one would need to start diagnosing the problem.

[-Mark Hillis- (Netway Technical Support)]

Hello,

I have FreeBSD 4.8 installed on my 400mhz amd with 256mb ram (this is probably useless 
info)

I was wondering how I install packages like emacs? are they on the CD? can I choose 
them from the install menu? the reason I ask is because I didn't see it listed in the 
install options but maybe I over looked it...

sorry this is like 20 questions, but also normally when I used freebsd at work I and 
would be typing a path and I could hit tab and it would finish the path for me or tell 
me what file names are close/similar but when I hit tab on my FreeBSD box it just tabs 
spaces... I figured maybe I was using the wrong shell... if so how do I change shells? 
is this the problem? 

the reason I figured it was the wrong type of shell... is because del/delete doesn't 
backspace either, it gives me weird characters like "^something " the delete/del 
problem might just be that is a rule my admin had set or something but I don't know so 
I'm not really concerned with that but if it helps to understand what I might be doing 
wrong then shout it out right?

I think the OP meant "is there a how-to or a web page on
making 'ls' show colors?"
ls -G is the standard option, as man page says, equivalent
to setting CLICOLOR in your environment.
Some terminals (under X perhaps) don't handle this environment

devfs.conf silliness??

[Eric Pogroski]

Hi all. can someone please explain this to me:

/etc/devfs.conf
# examples, blah
# my devices/perms/etc
perm mdctl 0660
own  mctl user:operator
[/code] I can create md* without any issues, but if I add this:
[code]
perm md* 0660
own md* user:operator
--OR--
perm md0 0660
own md0 user:operator
[/code]

it defaults to root:operator when I do say
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f example.iso
, and I'm unable to mount it without either becoming root, or mounting it
with sudo, which I thought was the point of devfs.conf in the first place
(to set userland permissions on devices so that non root users could 
mount/dismount them if needed)?

is thier some undocumented .conf or sysctl variable that I'm just not finding, 
or is devfs.conf fundamentally broken for 'dynamic' devices (ie: it can't understand 
wildcards, or even handle me plugging in or creating another device, i.e:USB keyfob
, or mounting a ISO image, while the machine is up and running)?

thanks!

I encountered a similar problem.  I think it has to do with the way artsd 
interacts with sound sockets produced by xmms.  I'd pretty much fixed the 
problem by using the command "artsdsp xmms" when running xmms, and then 
setting the output plugin to esd.  I had problems with the oss plugin, and 
the native artsd plugin was similarly ineffective.

A number of programmers have commented on the cumbersome nature of artsd, but 
I haven't explored the nature of their complaints in depth.

I get nothing from twm.  It won't even play one file.

I don't know if I fully understand your question, but if I'm right, it
consists of two parts, the first:

> Wouldnt it be logical to have current/stable versions of the ports
> tree ?

This has been discussed before, but the ports people maintain (and I
agree with them) that it wouldn't be feasible for a couple of reasons.

First, ports is already huge. They only reason they stay up to date is
because of a massive effort for a large number of volunteers. Creating a
second ports tree would double (or more) the amount of work for the
people running the ports tree itself and individual ports maintainers. I
have no proof to back this up, but I would guess that there are more
FreeBSD volunteers maintaining ports than any other part of the
operating system.

Second, ports exists primarily as an easy means to install software on
FreeBSD that the FreeBSD team has neither the inclination nor time to
properly maintain. Ports are by definition considered third-party
software. The idea is that the developers of the individual software
packages in ports are responsible for keeping their projects up-to-date
and bug-free. Creating a separate branch of ports goes against that
idea, to a degree. Additionally, much of the software in ports are
either considered "stable" or "development" or both or can't be easily
classified as one of the two. Once again, it's up to the developers of
the software in ports to decide what's considered stable or
in-development. The ports system currently acknowledges this situation
by maintaining two different ports of the same software (when
applicable), with the development port having a "-devel" tacked on to
the end of the port name. For example, "mozilla" and "mozilla-devel".

As for the second part, I guess I don't understand completely what
you're asking. :) Are you looking for a way to automatically upgrade
binary packages that come with FreeBSD, but are not themselves developed
or maintained by the FreeBSD team such as XFree86? The way you describe
it is how I thought it was already done. For example, if you installed
OpenSSH from the release CD and wanted to upgrade it, you just do a
pkg_delete and then go into your (updated) ports and 'make install' a
new one. (Or would just portupgrade work?) I'm still a relative newbie
to FreeBSD in some respects, so anyone feel free to clarify this and
educate me at the same time.

You need to check out /usr/ports...the ports tree is your friend.  You
should install bash2 which is in there at /usr/ports/shells.  Take a
look at the FreeBSD site, daemonnews.org, and freebsddiary.org and
onlamp.com they all have information that you should read up on.

Okay, that's interesting.  My first suspicion would be to see if
something is grabbing the audio device (esd and artsd are common
"culprits" here).  I'd recommend checking the error logs (or possibly
command line if you start from startx).

I recall playing my mp3's from command line, I had a directory
full of mp3's, I took all the filenames and mput them in a
file called "playlist.lst" in the directory then ran the
following script I called "go"

--snip
#!/bin/sh
#
mpg123 -v -v -Z -@ playlist.lst
--snip

If I remember correctly I used one of the standard sound control
gui's to control the volume.

It's been a while.

I also used the "curl" program too, did a stupid little script
that killed artsd then went on to play the music in the current
directory.

Now, artsd was a problem for me at the time I was using this
script so it was the only thing that worked for me, YMMV. :)

--snip
#!/bin/sh
#
echo
echo "Killing the damm \"artsd\" program first ."
echo
for i in `ps -uwax|grep artsd|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'`; do kill -9 $i; done
wait
echo "Well, that's done, now lets start up the music for you ."
echo
/usr/local/bin/curl -s $1 | /usr/local/bin/mpg123 -

Networking Questions

[Bryan Cassidy]

OK. The PC I am using now is the one I like to do all my work
on but want to get a router. I was told to find a older PC and
set it up as a router. Well, I have the extra PC now and I
just need to set it up. My main PC runs apache webserver, php,
squirrelmail, courier-imap, cups and a few other things. I
have never done any kind of networking like this but could
some people explain some things for me so I can have them
cleared up so the next time I'm reading a doc I can understand
what's going on? Just simple/or complex things about networking
would work. Like, gatewa, router, etc. I think you get the
idea. I think I know how this should be setup but please tell
me if this is wrong on how to setup this other pc as a router.
I have my main PC connected directly to the DSL right now. I
take the other PC place it somewhere close to this machine.
Put another (which would make 2 NICs in the router PC) Hook
the DSL cable into one of the NICs on the router, run it to
the DSL modem it's self, then connect another DSL cable into
the other NIC on the router machine and plug it into my main
PC. If this isn't correct please correct me. I would really
appreciate it. I have everything I just need to hook it up and
know where to get started on setting this machine up correctly
and have my main pc still run the same way it is doing now
with all the services I have running.

5.1 and ACPI

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I have just loaded 5.1 on an old Celeron 300, and need to learn something 
about ACPI.

I Googled, and found a considerable amount of info concerning this issue, but 
the only thing I understood, was how to force the default boot choice to not 
load the acpi module.

I went to:
http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix02/tech/freenix/full_papers/watanabe/
watanabe_html/index.html
and read what little I could understand. (not much)

When I boot the computer, right after the bios loads the table that shows the 
hardware, PCI devices, memory locations, etc., I see:

PS/2 Mouse Present
ACPI Function Enabled
Searching for boot record on CD
etc.
So, I am assuming that this machine *is* capable of ACPI.

When I choose the default boot option from the menu, I get a TON of messages 
concerning ACPI.  
Assuming these msgs are errors, I have added hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" to /
boot/device.hints, and now I can boot the default choice without these msgs.

I do understand that 5.1 is a development release, but have I mis-interpreted 
somethingdoes this machine do ACPI, but FBSD doesn't like the way it does 
it, or what?

Re: IPSEC Tunnel Routing question

[Tom Thompson]

I think I figured out the problem but am unsure how to fix it

To recap my situation is as follows
Internet connection located in Building A(independent of BSD boxes)
FreeBSD 5.1 machine located at Building A
FreeBSD 5.1 machine located at Building B
Building-To-Building wireless between building A and Building B

Goal
All traffic NOT destined for the local area lan at Building B 
should go thru a VPN tunnel over the wireless link to building A 
and out its internet connection.

The problem
Building B's BSD box does not know to encrypt traffic to the internet 
and send it thru the vpn.

My ipsec.conf has
spdadd building B/subnet building A/subnet any -P out ipsec
and the reverse

The traffic to the internet is not sent over the VPN so it goes nowere

I have tried 
spdadd building a/subnet 0.0.0.0/0 any -P out ipsec
and the reverse

Now all traffic is encrypted EVEN traffic destined for the LAN

Anyone have any suggestions

Thanks
Tom

Re: IPSEC Tunnel Routing question

[Tom Thompson]

Thanks for the reply!

I have tried what you recommended and basically nothing can talk over the vpn tunnels 
unless it is addressed on Building A or Building B's network. 

I have a router with an internet connection sitting at Building A and I set the 
defaultrouter in Building B to be the router address.  I can ping the router but the 
traffic will not even go thru the vpn and I get ping saying the network is down.  

I can post configs if you think it will help

Thanks
Tom

FreeBSD itself does not sell anything.   In fact, everything from FreeBSD 
is free - hence the name - no credit card required or accepted at all.

There are some companies that sell such things as CD installation 
sets of FreeBSD and T-shirts and books, etc.  But these are separate
companies and are not part of or related to FreeBSD.org, (though some
of them donate some funds to the FreeBSD project).

If you bought something from one of these companies, then you will need
to contact that place for any problems with billing.

The FreeBSD driver has not been replaced, though it's possible that
some ideas from the Realtec-supplied driver have been incorporated.
And yes, there are lots of those cards out there with sometimes
undocumented differences.  This is probably one reason why people say
"it works for me".  Another is that you don't often see the errors.
If I didn't have my switch sitting directly under my main monitor, I
wouldn't see the green LED change to orange under load, and I wouldn't
know either.

Installing "portupgrade" (also from ports) will help you stay
on top of new releases of emacs (and other ports) automagically,
as well.
If the ports tree (skeletons, IOW) and the distfiles are all
on your CD's, make 'em available by putting them under
the "distfiles" dir, and build SW to your heart's content!
sorry this is like 20 questions, but also normally when I used freebsd at work I and would be typing a path and I could hit tab and it would finish the path for me or tell me what file names are close/similar but when I hit tab on my FreeBSD box it just tabs spaces... I figured maybe I was using the wrong shell... if so how do I change shells? is this the problem? 

 

Most of the shells have shell completion.  IIRC, however,
/bin/sh doesn't.  What's your prompt look like?  (# csh or
tcsh, $ sh or bash)  What's
#echo $SHELL

say?  You can enter a new shell by simply typing its name,
or use chsh(1) with the -s switch to attempt to change shells.
the reason I figured it was the wrong type of shell... is because del/delete doesn't backspace either, it gives me weird characters like "^something " the delete/del problem might just be that is a rule my admin had set or something but I don't know so I'm not really concerned with that but if it helps to understand what I might be doing wrong then shout it out right?



 

More likely this is a terminal issue.  Termcap(5) might help a bit,
as well as Chapter 3.11 in the handbook.
thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give

original oilpainting: Buddhaportrait

[Rüdiger Frank]

A unique present for your dearest ones!
"Germani Muni Maitreya"
This is the illustration of an oil painting of Tilopâ Monk. It is painted in the glaze technique of the old masters. Size: 100 x 80 cm on canvas.

Nowadays this expensive technique still is only mastered by few artists.

Tilopâ Monk worked on the picture approx. 3 months. Since it is a single work, it also only can be purchased by one person.

Go here (or click on the jpeg) to the web page which was set up for the picture. There you can download a jpeg in a high resolution and you learn how you can become the only owner of the orginal.

X &/or KDE Crash

[Nigel Print]

New to FreeBSD (2 weeks). Running FreeBSD 4.9, KDE 3.1.4, XFree86 4.3.0. 

When logged on as a normal user, X and KDE crash back to the virtual shell
after KPersonalizer loads. Errors messages include a Segmentation Fault and
DCOP (aborting calls from anonymous 299 (kded) and 302 (knotify). At which
point KDE shuts down. 

However if I run up X and KDE when logged on as an SU it all works fine. In
both cases X and KDE are started via startx and .xinitrc.

Have done a make deinstall on KDE and reloaded and compiled but just the
same. There appear to be no errors in /var/log/XFree86.0.log but I have
attached the log file in case I have missed something.

Any help with this problem would be appreciated.

TIA

Re: Spamassassin - uninitialized value in Bayes.pm

Recently I have been seeing the following in my maillog as it relates to

to know what these errors mean. Any ideas?
The warning means exactly what it says it means - a variable is being 
used that has not been initialised.

But the warning is just a warning - it's not stopping the code from 
running, and as you point out it's not stopping your filter from working.

It might be normal to get this warning - I have no idea. You should ask 
on a spamassassin list like [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hope that helps.

CUPS - libpam.so.1 not found

[Barry Skidmore]

I am running 5.1-RELEASE-p11 and am receiving the following error when
the system boots, related to CUPS not being able to start the scheduler:

Local package initilization:
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: shared object :"libpam.so.1" not found
cups unable to start scheduler

Doing a Google search I have been unable to find how to install this
missing file.

Thanks,
