Any idea ??

Googling around, I have found a bug reported as :

a ports/79351  lofi   Character passing error in security/ 
pinentry-qt



Which seems to be the same as my problem ??

Re: named problems

2007-11-25 Thread bsd

Bind works perfectly out of the box on most FBSD recent versions.

You should not move things out of the path they have been setup to.
Specially on FBSD /etc is reserved for system files.

By default bind is installed in /var/named and should be kept there.

If I was you I would :
1. install the latest bind version from the port //
2. make sure you don't touch things unless absolutely necessary.
3. copy paste of modify the /var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf so that  
It corresponds to your needs.

4. make sure the /etc/rc.conf has the correct "named" values.
5. start it with the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ script for named //

Been runing this one with 1000 zones as both masters and slave never  
had any problem.


If you have more issue could give you a help on debuging bind.

My advice : STICK TO THE FBSD RULES AND PATH unless you perfectly know  
what you are doing.

Hello;
I am having some named problems:
The daemon will not start and run on system startup.
There is plenty of info on problems when named
is running, but not when it will not start.
I did get it to start after boot with
#named (su to root without - option)
It started and ran as demonstrated
with ps -aux. But the listing was
just user (me as mortal user) and
named as process (not as a path
to an executable, as is normal
for other processes).
The console messages at start up
gives me configuration file not found
errors. The files are there.
/etc/namedb/named.conf, rndc.key
/etc/namedb is a link to /var/named/etc/namedb where the config
files are. It is set up to be a slave server
for four domains.
How can I go about debugging this
situation?
My suspicions are ownership and permissions
are wrong, but how, and how to fix; ??
Thanks in advance

Moving to freebsd firewall for a small DataCenter network

2008-09-23 Thread bsd

Hello,


I have been using FreeBSD for many years as a server and have based  
most of my hosting services on this fantastic OS.
Since three years I have been using SonicWall firewall as a firewall  
device.


As my hosting services are growing, It seems that the SonicWall device  
is quite "light" for what I am doing. I have now 10 servers hosted on  
one uniq /28 network with direct connexion to the Net.


I was wondering if there is a good if possible "integrated" firewall  
device running on FreeBSD.
I have deployed local firewall on each of my servers based on ipf.  
Works great, but I am not sure I want to dig all the time into a file  
based config, little visual interface could ease my pain… (of course  
this is optional).


I would like something quite strong but simple that I could deploy on  
a small 1U server or dedicated device.


Any pointer / howto / feed back on experience will be most welcome.


Something similar to this could be nice: http://www.untangle.com/



Thanks for your support.

scripting text replacement

2008-11-08 Thread bsd
Sorry for this cross posting, but I can not find a good "bash" mailing  
list…
I am certain FreeBSD gurus will provide me with a fast and reliable  
answer to this little question.



Here is the deal:
-


I have a file containing a list of items like that:

line1item1 line1item2 line1item3
line2item1 line2item2 line2item3
…400 times

I need to insert this into another text file using printf() items  
should be converted into variable looping… like that:


printf "Bla bla bla $1 bla bla $2 bla bla $3 bla bla $2"


The main thing is that I can not get $1 $2 $3 to correspond to  
line1item1 line1item2 line1item3



Any good idea or example will be welcome.

Delay startup of services in rc.conf || elswhere

2008-11-18 Thread bsd

Hello,


I have a server configured to start 10 services at startup (in /etc/ 
rc.conf)


Unfortunately, the startup of MySQL seems to be returning "ok" before  
It actually has started completely the program… the next program rely  
on MySQL and does not start well because the database is not "fully"  
started.


I would like to introduce something like a "sleep 10" timer in the  
service startup process…



How can I do that?

7.0-RELEASE-p6 problem amd64 daemonology

2008-11-25 Thread bsd
Hello I have updated my server (Intel Modular server) using the  
classical


# freebsd-update install


And I am now facing very weired issues only on amd64 servers I am  
maintaining.
Servers boots and then freezes when It launch "ipfilter". This is not  
a low level freeze, simply all access to the server are disabled.


- Single user boot does not work.
- SSH access does not work either.


These servers were working perfectly before this update…

---

What would you suggest to get out of this situation…

1. Rollback to the 7.0-RELEASE-p5 which was stable and worked well.
--> If so how can I access the server knowing that single user mode  
does not work?
--> Can you describe me the stages I would have to go through - I am  
not very used to this kind of situations.


2. Deactivate ipfilter (is there a way to do that at boot time without  
editing /etc/rc.conf ) ?


3. Deactivate all services at boot time (is there a way of bypassing  
at boot time the rc.conf file) ?

Re: 7.0-RELEASE-p6 problem amd64 daemonology

2008-11-25 Thread bsd

Hello,


I think you all deserve a clear information about what has been going  
on today.


After the update of all servers to P-6 - the server could not be  
booted normaly - in fact they did boot but after that they didn't get  
back with the prompt… So I ended up in a "dead end".


As I was working last weeks with the engineers that helped me setup  
the hardware (and as Intel didn't have a right guideline specifying  
that TCP ports needed to be opened) - I have ended up mofidying a  
little parameter in /boot/loader.conf that was aimed to redirect the  
console to "vidconsole" & "comconsole".


This little parameter seems to have caused a conflict with the KVM of  
intel which probably uses the same redirect or blocked us from  
receiving the output (even from ssh).



It took me quite a long time to figure out what was going on as I  
suspected other problems to have happened. This has all the symptoms  
of a system freeze, but services were launched (at least some of them)…


I have found the solution by booting using a low level prompt that has  
allowed me to pass the parameter "set console=comconsole" and all went  
back to normal.




Quite firghtening, but finaly armless.

Swap and memory optimization

2009-10-01 Thread bsd

Hello,

I have a FBSD 6.4p7 box that I use as a mail server - 1Go RAM - RAID1
Works quite well.

As I plan to put 100 more mail accounts soon on the server I was  
wondering if the memory & swap was ok on the server considering these  
figures:



last pid: 18956;  load averages:  0.04,  0.11,   
0.05 
   up 
 19+08:36:23  09:53:38

125 processes: 1 running, 124 sleeping
CPU:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  1.5% system,  0.4% interrupt, 98.1% idle
Mem: 499M Active, 70M Inact, 362M Wired, 41M Cache, 111M Buf, 20M Free
Swap: 2000M Total, 160M Used, 1840M Free, 8% Inuse


Though It looks good to me - the server swaps a bit (between 8 to 14%)  
and there is not much memory left.



Let me know what you think about these figures.



Thanks.

incremental FTP backup program

2009-12-17 Thread bsd
Hello, 

I have been provided with a 1To backup space by my hosting company… 
unfortunately It is only accessible by FTP which does not allow me to do the 
regular backup / restore I use to do using RSYNC. 


What are the options I have in order to do the backup / restore of the files 
knowing that : 

1. I would like to have a time based backup solution (incremental with 
sub-folder for daily backup so I can restore files from xxx days ago). 

2. I need to use ftp as a transport

3. Some of my servers have limited space so doing a local sync then FTP will 
not be possible. 

4. If possible I would like a bullet proof solution ideally "well known" | 
tested and available from the port tree. 


In fact what I would be looking for is something like "rsnapshot" but with FTP 
transport / compatibility. 


 

Thanks for your answer(s).

Encrypts backup with GPG; looks perfect.

Restoreing Dump on FreeBSD headless server

2010-01-04 Thread bsd
Hello folks, 


I would like to know how to proceed in order to restore a dump from a backup 
headless server (remotely using ssh). 

How am I supposed to proceed, should I first install the server (a FreeBSD 
Fresh install with spare partition) then restore the dump on an empty partition 
?  

Should the new empty partition be the exact same size as the dumped partition ? 

Is there a tool that could allow me to restore remotely ? 


Any advice or howto will be (very) welcome. 


Thanks. 


P.S. Happy new BSD year !!

Well, to tell you the truth: I am using a remote backup solution since 2.5 
years and the provider has just told me that he would no longer support my 
hardware
so I need to rebuild a new server based on my previous config

Ok, I think the server I will install that on might use some sort of virtual 
KVM that could allow me to do that

Well my idea was to rebuild the new server based on the dump I have realised 
(in order to save me the time to do the reinstall). 
But from what you are telling me It might not be so easy

Yes but how should I partition that ? 

Should I re-create the 

/
/var
/usr
/tmp

or 

/ with minimal system


and re-create the mapping with nothing on slice.

Ok, that should be the good path

I am using dump(8). 
I have successfully created a backup of all major partition of my server which 
is now secured on a remote HD.

I haven't tried It so I don't know what functionnality It offers… 
But I guess I might start a fresh install from that console… 

At which point should I do the restore(8) in the install process ?

Dump is stored on a remote HD. 
There is one dump file per partition (not for /tmp).

re-installing a port to a specific version

2010-01-05 Thread bsd
Hello, 

I am re-installing a server where I have an old version of slony installed (db 
replication for postgresql)… 
I am keeping my port tree up to date with portmaster (I have added an +IGNOREME 
file in order to avoid updates on this specific port). 
I have to change server, a new server has been installed with a fresh BSD 
install. 

I want to know how i can copy, or re-install this specific port… 
I have in my possession : 

1. the distfiles located on the running server in /usr/ports/distfiles/slony.xx
2. a newer version of the Makefile (couple of version ahead)… 


Any idea or clue on how to reinstall this port to this specific version. 

Thx. 



P.S. I know there is a solution that consist to sync the port tree to the 
specific date (of version xxx of slony) and then compile, but this is quite 
heavy manipulation… If I could avoid that, It'd be great;

freebsd-update moving from GENERIC to SMP

2008-03-14 Thread bsd

Hello,


I have updated my server yesterday from 5.5 to 6.3 using the cvsup  
classical method.

Everything went fine but I forgot to deploy an SMP kernel :-(

Is there a way to deploy a 6.3 SMP using freebsd-update method (which  
is fantastic).



Thanks for your answer.

Planing hardware / software for a potential gro wfs… 

2008-03-20 Thread bsd

Hello,


I am planning to setup various services (including mail server, DNS  
server, hosting / web services) that could potentially grow in a very  
important way.


As a resonable person - I would like to plan It for my actual needs  
(suiting the first year of exploitation = 1Tb) and after that  
eventually grow the file system using the most simple and less anoying  
solution…


I wanted to have your point of view on the potential way to build the  
best hosting solution, knowing that most important things are:


- Use (if possible) a 100% compatible FBSD solution.
- Also be compatbile with other flavor of Unix (Linux,…).
- Offer an expandable and simple to manage solution for storage.
- Figure out a good solution for backup.


Today I have 2 solutions in mind:

1. Use a blade system including 2 or 3 blades at first with an  
external attached storage device (whom type has to be defined);
2. Use various servers on their own and dispatch services accordingly  
on each server.

3. Another solution…


I wanted to know:

- If anyone has been using blade system with FreeBSD and what problem  
he has been facing?
- If you have some specific advise regarding File System configuration  
or options?

- What storage solution you find best and easiest to manage?


Main point is: stability and sustainable.


Thanks for your support.

Re: dump and remote file fetching

2008-06-07 Thread bsd

What I do :

Allow ssh access only using key "PubkeyAuthentication yes"
Allow root access
Create a root ssh Pubkey
Automate the access using any script based on ssh…

If you want to be more restrictive, you can deploy a firewall localy  
on your server and limit ssh access to one or more selected IPs.

Le 28 mai 08 à 07:53, Zbigniew Szalbot a écrit :


Hi there,

Need a word of advice. I use dump to backup my data. All fine.  
Dump saves compressed *.bz2 files. Nice. All I need now is a way  
to copy them from the server to a remote backup machine. The  
problem I am facing is that bz2 files are owned by root:wheel. So  
if I use scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/*.bz2, it does not have  
sufficient permissions to fetch the files. I can use sudo, but  
then I need to interactively type the password, which I would like  
to avoid.
Can you suggest simple ways of getting around this? I don't mind  
using special tools for the job, especially if they are not too  
complicated... :)
Before firing this email off I took a look at rsync and it seems  
easy enough to do just what I need but still many thanks for  
suggestions!
I have been very happy with rsnapshot.  Take that for a spin and  
see how it works for you


I have taken a look at rsnapshot but it seems I am left to deal with  
the same problem:


From their page:
In addition to full paths on the local filesystem, you can also  
backup remote systems using rsync over ssh. If you have ssh  
installed and enabled (via the cmd_ssh parameter), you can specify a  
path like:


backup  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/ example.com/

This behaves fundamentally the same way, but you must take a few  
extra things into account.


a/ The ssh daemon must be running on example.com
b/ You must have access to the account you specify the remote  
machine, in this case the root user on example.com.


I do not allow remote root login so what are my options in that  
case? How do you deal with such a scenario? Many thanks!

Problem installing bind in jail

2012-04-05 Thread bsd
Hi, 

I have followed the tutorial provided in 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/jails-application.html
I have now five jails up and running and I am very happy with the system. 

One of my jail is acting as an important DNS server and It needs to be up to 
date. 

I have decided to recompile bind in the latest version and I am running into a 
problem which is caused by bind port not following the FreeBSD requisites and 
trying to install things in /usr/include/isc

[…] 



I am not certain of the path I should take to solve this issue… 
Most probably I should simlink from the RO part of the system to the RW… but I 
am not 100% sure how to proceed. 


Why is ISC trying to setup things in this location and not on 
/usr/local/include/ ? 


I think I would need to simlink from the RO portion of the system 
/usr/include/isc to /usr/local/include/isc but I am not certain how to proceed. 



Thanks for your help.

ESS (extended service set) configuration for FBSD

2011-06-13 Thread bsd
Hello, 

I wanted to know what is the best way to build an ESS (extended service set aka 
group of Access Points) using FreeBSD. Knowing that we are looking at the 
classic features of such network: 

1. Couple of AP's configured with the same SSID
2. Authentication 
3. Security 
4. Roaming between AP's 
5. Communication between stations in the same ESS


The main problem to solve seems to be related to IAPP (Inter Access Point 
Protocol) aka 802.11f  
It is not very clear to me in which stage we are with this protocol and It's 
implementation… 



What would you advice ? 

How would you proceed ?

Resetting bootloader on a CF

2011-08-31 Thread bsd
Hi, 

I am trying to reset the bootloader of a pfSense nanoBSD CF card. 

I need the boot loader to be reset because 

> The embedded image set the bootloader to use a serial console.  That isn't 
> necessary with the box I am trying to use (the BIOS does console redirection 
> to the serial port for you) and causes the boot to hang.


Part of the solution seems to be : 

1. Mount the CF on a FBSD 
2. Initialize the bootloader with : 

# fdisk -B /dev/

3. This is where I need you help… 


How can I re-install a boot loader ? 

Should I use the command : 

# fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 device


Any other suggestion, guidance will be welcome. 


Thanks for your support. 


P.S. I'll check your answer in 10+ hours as I am already tired and It is 11.45

Problem with uart interfaces

2011-11-24 Thread bsd
Hello, 

I have a serious problem with LAN bypass. 
I am configuring a new appliance which embeddeds a LAN bypass on four ethernet 
cards. 

When the system boots, it freezes at the stage of uart interface detection :

Problem with jail network

2011-11-30 Thread bsd
Hi, 

I have been configuring a jail system using the howto provided here : 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/jails-application.html

The is now correctly starting, but I can't seem to use the network stack. 


> root@master 16:52:55 ~ -> jls
> JID  IP Address  Hostname  Path
>   1  xx.216.yy.150  n0.no.no/jail/j/n0


But I can't ping neither outside of the jail, nor inside of It. 

I am a bit confused because I don't know if I have to configure the IP using an 
alias on the main Eth interface, or do something else. 

> ifconfig_bce0_alias0="inetxx.216.yy.150/32"



This last command seems to have frozen my system. 


Since I can't reach the network, I can't install ports either… ! 


Thanks for your help.

This is confirmed. 

I have the equivalent of : 

ifconfig_bce0_alias0="inet 1.2.3.4/32"

I don't want the IP to be redirected, I would like the jail to have It's own 
IP. 
Redirection would probably involve a NAT on your main IP to the IP of the jail, 
which is something I would like to avoid. 


Did you use something like the aforementioned ifconfig alias to give the IP to 
your jail ? 

ifconfig_bce0_alias0="inet 1.2.3.4/32"


What bothers me is that I am not able to ping from the outside either… ?? 

And I can't install any ports because I don't have any network available inside 
the jail.

Ok, I'll try that with netmask 255.255.255.255 instead of /32

And use the mentionned parameters with raw socket.

Best solution to install zfs on root for FBSD 9

2011-12-20 Thread bsd
Hi, 

I would like to know if there is an "official" howto that could help me in the 
process of installing zfs on root. 

I will need a raid 1 configuration and plan to use the whole disks to be part 
of the pool. 

How far can we go with the installer ?

Do I have to use gpart ?

What is best way to achieve this ? 


Any recent and up to date pointer will be welcome. 


Thx.

Shared Memory allocation in jail

2012-01-05 Thread bsd
Hi, 

I am trying to run both postgres and zabbix in the same jail and I am only able 
to start postgres or zabbix not both of them. 

I have tuned my sysctl on master host as follow : 

kern.ipc.shmmax=268435456
kern.ipc.shmall=409600
kern.ipc.semmap=256

security.jail.allow_raw_sockets=1
security.jail.sysvipc_allowed=1
security.jail.enforce_statfs=1


No special tunning on jail host. 


I have also tunned in rc.conf 
jail_sysvipc_allow="YES"



I am still not able to start both at the same time. 


Any idea ?

Infos here were helpful : http://www.freebsddiary.org/jail-multiple.php

I have 

• re-configure /boot/loader.conf
• configured sysctl.conf with various options


# rebooted and the issue was solved.

As far as I can tell all directories are "directories" and not empty files.

Backup strategy for zfs + jail

2012-01-17 Thread bsd
Hi, 

I have a simple 1U server with two disks that I have configured as a jail 
server. 

I want to setup a simple yet very efficient backup policy for my jail 
environment. 

This server is running a ZFS filesystem. 

Ideally I would like to backup the main zfsroot/jail and all subdirectories on 
a backup FTP server. 


• What kind of tool would you suggest ? 

I need to focus on : 

--> Simplicity of setup
--> Ease of recovery
--> Efficiency 
--> Compatibility with ZFS


Thanks.

Though HAST seems quite interesting I am not looking for a cluster solution. 
My FTP server is provided by my ISP, and Ideally I would like something that 
feets in that solution… 

So something like ZFS snapshots + some syncing level FTP service that will do 
the copy to the remote location… I don't really know if this approach will work 
with a ZFS snapshot, I use to work at file level using duplicity… works well 
though a bit heavy !

Setting up a syslog server in a jail

2012-01-30 Thread bsd
Hello, 

I would like to setup a syslog server inside a jail 
I have setup couple of other jail and they are already working as a DNS server 
and a HTTP server. 

The next step would be to configure a new jail as a syslog server. 

I have the following parameters : 

jail_enable="YES"
jail_mount_enable="YES"
jail_set_hostname_allow="NO"
jail_sysvipc_allow="YES" # for syslog et postgres
jail_socket_unixiproute_only="NO"
jail_list="ns0 lacoste logjail"
jail_logjail_hostname="logjail.osnet.eu"
jail_logjail_ip="1.2.3.4"
jail_logjail_rootdir="/jails/j/logjail"
jail_logjail_devfs_enable="YES"


I have also setup in /etc/sysctl.conf : 

security.jail.allow_raw_sockets=1

• I can ping the remote host (the one sending IP datagram)
• I can dig any domain


I am still not able to get the log correctly sent to the specified jail… ?? 


Any idea ?

Ok, I have the following sockstat on the host environment : 

surf:root 17:09:02 ~ # sockstat | grep sysl
root syslogd3176  4  dgram  /var/run/log
root syslogd3176  5  dgram  /var/run/logpriv

root syslogd1947  8  udp4   1.2.3.4:514 *:*


My syslog server is supposed to be on 1.2.3.6 

In the jail environment I have : 

logjail# sockstat | grep syslo
root syslogd3153  4  dgram  /var/run/log
root syslogd3153  5  dgram  /var/run/logpriv
root syslogd3153  6  udp4   1.2.3.6:514 *:*

… But still no log from outside the jail… ?

Problem was with the IP I was listening on. 

Was the wrong one. 

Found that using the debug option of syslog "-d" 

Very straight forward after debug was enable.

Cron script redirection (probably stderr problem ?)

2006-01-18 Thread bsd

Hello,

I am using a little cron script to update my server that calls  
"portsnap". Once this is done there is another piece of script that  
tells me which port(s) is to be updated with a simple call to a  
script that mainly execute portversion -l "<" and mail me the output  
of the command.



There is one little problem with that script :

Cron mails me (root) each time this output (probably because it comes  
from standerr ?) :


[Updating the portsdb  in /usr/ports ... - 14011  
port entries found . 
1000.2000.3000.4000.5000.6000. 
 
7000.8000.9000.1.11000.120 
00.13000.14000 . done]



The cron script is executed as follow :

0 3 * * * /usr/local/sbin/portsnap cron && /usr/local/sbin/portsnap - 
I update && /root/src/upgrade.sh > /var/log/upgrade.log



I've tried to add a 2>&1 at the end of the script :

0 3 * * * /usr/local/sbin/portsnap cron && /usr/local/sbin/portsnap - 
I update && /root/src/upgrade.sh > /var/log/upgrade.log 2>&1



But this does not seem to change my problem.

Any help ?

All the best : driver are setup in the card so you can upgrade your

You'll probably have to compile driver before uploading them to the

If you have both the XP and FreeBSD machines on the same internal network,
why not enable file sharing on the XP box and use Samba Client on the
freeBSD box. I have found SMB to be a lot faster as it is running as a

Re: Multiple DNS

2006-02-20 Thread bsd


Le 19 févr. 06 à 08:46, Robert Slade a écrit :


Hi,

I am looking for some advice. I have a network which is based on a
number of servers running FreeBsd 6.0 serving Win XP work stations.  
(yes

I know but..) The network is large enough to use DHCP and DNS for the
internal network, I have setup a DHCP server with a Dynamic DNS  
(Bind 9)

on one of the servers. That server is handling the LDAP side of the
domain.



Is your DNS server busy resolving internal requests or external ones ?

There appears to be a fair bit of DNS Traffic which leads to a  
secondary
DNS being required to take some of the load as DNS lookup are slow.  
The

question I have is should I just setup a cashing DNS on another server
using the primary as a forwarder or even several servers eg the mail
server and the secondary LDAP server, or should I setup a proper
secondary DNS using my ISP as a forwarder with dynamic updates from  
the

primary.



You should not forward anything to your ISP. This is probably the  
main reason for your DNS beeing slow.


You should make shure you have well defined your network in your conf  
(so that you don't resolve queries for outside users...)-
I would not advise you to forward any queries to your ISP as this  
will disable the capacity for your own server to build It's own  
resolver database and forward all the queries to the ISP (resulting  
in slow answers)!



Normaly you should configure the master and the slave to be  
authoritative for your internal domains.
And configure the master and the slave to resolve ALL the Internet  
domains for your internal network and none for outside domains.



DNS is very tightly related to network... And we don't have any clue  
for the topology of your Net.



SHORT ANSWER : DON'T FORWARD --> BUILD YOUR OWN DATABASE!!



Sorry if this is a bit vague, but I have no experience in this area.

Jeffrey,

It usually means that you have sshd set to run from /etc/rc.conf and from
inetd. Either comment out the line in /etc/rc.conf sshd="YES" or if you
don't need inted comment that out.

Hope this helps

Yes, as far as I can tell that is correct, it confused me at first. The

Again correct. Don't forget 'stable' is not that stable it is a snapshot

The other confusing this is that the tags only realy refer to the
'userland' ie the core system. The ports get updated as and when.

On the system I am currently working on which will be a production server,
I don't whant too much change when in prodction so I am following the 6.0
branch at present (RELENG_6_0). I have portaudit installed which tells me
what ports have been updated through security issues a

de-installing kde & Xfree86 from 5.2.1

2005-01-31 Thread bsd
Hello,
I am looking for a fast and secure way to remove all kde* things from 
my system.

We are using this machine as a headless server and do not need this 
"kind of things at all".
This is bothering me when I update de port tree and do my cvsup things.

ON THE OTHER HAND we absolutely need the deinstall not to compromise 
our server !!

Libraries used by other program must not be touched by the deinstall 
process as this is a quite busy mail server.

I was thinking about going into each directory in /usr/ports/... and 
making a "make deinstall"

Any other clue will be welcome !

IPF: Apparent packet duplication logged by IPF

2004-01-05 Thread bsd
Hi all. 

I am having a strange situation with IPF.  I am trying to log all passed 
packets (the log is passed to a third-party stats program for graphical 
analysis). 

The problem is that I see many packets apparently being duplicated in the 
ipmon.log.  The packet enters the firewall from the internal interface OK, 
but it appears to be transmitted out to the internet twice.  Conversely, 
there are often multiple inbound packets from the internet which become just 
one on the internal interface. 

See these two examples (beware of line-wrap):
1) Internet to LAN
09:30:00.508378 2x ed1 @0:21 P 196.35.72.139,443 -> 192.168.0.180,1277 PR

len 20 296 -AP K-S OUT 

2) LAN to internet (168.209.221.66 is my NAT address)
09:30:00.616102 hdlc5 @0:21 P 192.168.0.180,1277 -> 196.35.72.139,443 PR tcp

len 20 40 -A K-S OUT 

I don't believe the packets are ACTUALLY being resent twice, because the 
stats I have under MRTG indicate matching traffic volumes on the 
corresponding interfaces.  I suspect the issue has something to do with how 
IPF and IPMON log the packets.  But I'm not sure. 

Any help in understanding/fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

Patrick O'Reilly.

IPMON Format ???

2003-09-11 Thread bsd
Hi all! 

A little help please with understanding the format of ipmon.log. 

I have entries like this (mind line-wrap):
===
Sep 11 14:52:46 fox ipmon[47]: 14:52:45.248487 2x ed1 @0:3 P 
196.23.158.10,25 -> 196.22.178.91,26704 PR tcp len 20 40 -A K-S
OUT
=== 

I have been able to figure out what it all means by reference to "man 
ipmon", except for the following two things: 

1) the "2x" before the interface name (ed1).
2) the "K-S" right near the end of the line, before "OUT". 

What do these two fields mean? 

Regards,
Patrick.

Vinum and SoftUpdates

2003-09-16 Thread bsd
Hi folks. 

I have a few boxes which have recently begun to behave rather badly - 
frequent panics and lots of errors being spewed out during fsck on reboot.  
I note that these particular boxes have one thing in common - they have 
vinum devices which are also mounted with softupdates enabled. 

Is this OK?  I have not been able to find any mention of softupdates in the 
vinum man pages. 

Thanks for any pointers.

Patrick.

What was the cause of the panic? 

Greg, 

Thanks for following up.  I realise my original post was rather scanty on 
detail, but I was just wondering about the specific combination of 
vinum/softupdates.  Since you indicate that this combination should not be a 
problem in itself, I will need to dig deeper. 

Unfortunately I have only heard about the problems on these servers after 
the fact.  I will need to rebuild their kernels with debugging, etc, as I 
did on my own box previously, and then wait for another crash and see what 
gdbmods reveals. 

I'll be in touch when I have something more useful in the way of clues.

There could be any number of problems that may be the cause of this. I
realy can't see that from here.  What you need to do is to do a check on
every machine that doesn't work. I find it best to go from where the
process begins and go all the way down to portupgrade. Try to find where
it goes wrong. It could be that the crontab is wrong or that portupgrade
isn't installed. 

Alex, 

thanks for your response. 

I've tried what you say before I sent the email.  What confuses me is that 
the script runs fine if I log in and run it at the CLI.  And it definitely 
runs from cron, because I get the email I am expecting, which is the output 
that would normally go to the terminal. 

So, the crontab is evidently active, and portupgrade is correctly installed 
and configured. 

But the actual fetch of the file simply does not happen if it is run from 
cron...  Yet, on other servers it all works fine... 

?!?!?!? 

Still confused.
Patrick.

Which Releases are still"supported"

2003-10-23 Thread bsd
Hi all. 

I know things are very different in the Open Source world, so the concept of 
"officially supported" versions is probably nonsense, but here's my dilemma: 

I received an email from Cyclades in which they told me:
"I am sorry to tell you, but the latest FreeBSD version supported by our 
driver is version 4.4. The driver is not tested with newer FreeBSD versions 
and therefor we cannot support it." 

Now, since 4.4 was dated September 2001, it is now more than two years old.  
I keep my servers up to date (currently at 4.8-p13). 

So - my question - is 4.4 still a "supported" branch, or has it now been 
consigned to history?  I couldn't find any policy statement WRT older 
releases at freebsd.org, though I might have looked in the wrong places...

Patrick O'Reilly.

Kris Kennaway writes:
Most forms of support provided by the FreeBSD Project are on an ad-hoc
basis, since it's a community-supported project. 

Typically, old releases do not get bug fixes beyond security fixes
(for a limited lifetime, see http://www.freebsd.org/security), so bug
reports against old releases are usually dealt with by asking the
originator to upgrade to the latest release to verify whether the
problem still exists, at which point an interested developer might be
able to address the problem. 

A similar situation exists with the ports collection.  It is not
guaranteed to work with old releases, and updated packages are only
provided for the head of the -STABLE branch. 

Kris 

Thanks Kris. 

It's a pity that Cyclades are so focussed on Linux that they are ignoring 
BSD...  The fact that I have more than 10 of their devices (and I'm sure 
there must be many more in the field on BSD platforms) does not seem to 
concern them. 

One day when I'm big I'll learn some C and try including the if_cpc driver 
into the source tree.

RELENG_5_3 // RELENG_5_3_RELEASE

2005-06-23 Thread bsd

Hi,


I have configured my new BSD server with a RELENG_5_3 tag in the cvs- 
supfile and I was wondering if I took the right track to update my  
system.


So far I have only compiled and installed the updated ports that I  
need (in /usr/ports).


Since I have switched to the 5_3 instead of 5_3_RELEASE, do I have to  
do more updates for my system. I guess that the patched software that  
have been released since the 5_3_RELEASE are included in the 5_3 and  
that I have to install them somehow.


So my question is how ?


I guess that this is happening in /usr/src and that I have to "make"  
something…


Have you got a specific pointer of the steps I have to take to update  
It properly.



Do you think this is a good idea to stick to 5_3 instead of  
5_3_RELEASE for a production system (mail server) ?




Thanks for your advices.

Re: Pthread Problem building clamav-0.86.1

2005-06-27 Thread bsd

Nope,

The simple answer is to compile clamav with the "disable-pthreads"  
option. Modify the configure args of the Makefile using these  
attributes :


CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-dbdir=${DBDIR} \
--with-zlib=/usr \
--disable-zlib-vcheck \
--disable-clamuko \
--disable-clamav \
--enable-bigstack \
--disable-gethostbyname_r \
--enable-readdir_r \
--disable-dependency-tracking \
--disable-pthreads


It'll compile smoothly.

So far I have :

- de-install and re-install ruby.
- de-install and re-install portupgrade.

Nothing has changed...


Our system is FreeBSD 5.2.1


Do you have any clue regarding the way we can solve this issue ??




This is from the portupgrade man page in the WARNING section:

"Even if you don't do anything wrong, a package database may get
corrupt somehow when it is heavily updated. In such cases, run  
``pkgdb

-fu '' to rebuild the database and rescue the tools from coredumping.
"

Updating from RELENG_5_1_2_RELEASE to ... ??

2005-11-18 Thread bsd

Hello,



I am going to update one of my customer's server from  
RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE to RELENG_5_3 or RELENG_5_4 or RELENG_5


Which version would you advise me ??


This is a mail server in production (postfix - amavisd -  
spamassassin) so It obviously needs stability.

There is no GUI (X11 or so).


Which version of the system should I stick to ??

What are the risks ?

Which long term policy would you advise me to get this server up and  
running as long as possible ?

make index & make fetchindex

Hello,


I have a little script that I run twice a week that updates my ports

I have quite often errors with the "make index" line because I have a

PowerEdge 2850 AMD64 panics

2005-12-07 Thread bsd
This is my first post to the FreeBSD mailing list, and unfortunatley its
because I've been having a vexing problem with one of my servers.

The machine in question is a Dell PowerEdge 2850 w/2 3Ghz EMT64 Xeons,
2gbs of ram, a Perc 4e/Di w/6 300GB drives.

This machines primary function is as a mail server running Exim.

Below is a DMESG from this machine.

This machine is running the AMD64 port of freebsd, and what is happening
is often when the volume of incoming mail gets pretty high, the machine
will panic and reboot. I have tried to capture a dump but it always fails
dumping before it completes, usually before its dumped more then 24MB. The
few times that I have seen the console when its happened the panic was
something to do with UFS. I have upgraded the bios and firmwares on
everything, and that increased the stability of the machine. I also turned
off soft updates on all the file systems, which also further increased
stability, however there is still a problem. Any
pointers/hints/tips/solutions would be greatly appreciated. Also, if more
information is needed let me know and I would be happy to provide it.

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give.

Errors during make buildworld (5.4 to 6.0 upgrade)

2005-12-09 Thread bsd
While running make buildworld after a make cleanworld and make cleandir in
attempts to upgrade from 5.4 to 6.0, I cannot get around the following
error:

make: don't know how to make /usr/src/lib/libalias/alias.c. Stop
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/src/lib.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.

I followed the suggestions from
http://www.nabble.com/buildworld-failing-on-amd64-with-RELENG_6-t494383.html
and although going into the directory in question and building there
worked, then running make buildworld quit at the same spot.
The only other report I have seen suggested rm -rf /usr/obj/*
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-amd64/2005-November/006615.html)
but that is part of what make cleanworld does so I didn't feel the need to
do it yet again.

Any suggestions and help is welcome.

Cheers,

BSDuser

Re: Creating clone of a HDD including boot partition

2010-12-15 Thread bsd
Is there a way to dd to a file to create an iso image and then restore (still 
using dd from this image). 
I only have one IDE <--> USB cable so this is the reason why It'd more simple 
for me to create an iso image of the disk and then restore. 

Using dump won't be very useful because I won't be able to get the first 63 
segments where boot info are written, I need something of lower level 
(obviously dd will be my friend). 


Thanks everyone. I'll try to post the line code once I got It up and running.  


Thanks.

Ok, 

Thanks for the link and explanation. 

I have tried to use the compressed approach using smthg like:

# mount /dev/ad0s1a /mnt
# cd /mnt
# dd if=/dev/zero of=zerofile bs=1M


I have a lot of errors on standerr output such as : 

g_vfs_done() : da0s1a [WRITE(offset=58978680256, length=131072)]error = 5

Up to a point where It has finaly freezed my running FBSD 8.1. 


I don't think I have reached the end of the file… ?? 

-- 

I am restarting the operation.

Ok, 

I have got It working. 

I have created an 736 MB archive of my 160 GB hard drive. 
Now I am trying to restore It from my mac with : 

$ gzcat pfSense_HDD.gz | dd of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m


It has started at 19h52 and at 32h02 it is still not finished… 
I thing I'll go to sleep and see if the baby is born tomorow morning. 

Is there anything I can do to speed up the process ?


Anyway thank you for all this useful help.

Compatible Wi-Fi card mini PCI-Express

2012-07-20 Thread bsd
Hello friends, 


I am looking for a FreeBSD compatible card in Mini PCI-Express. 

I know that the hardware list provides a lot of links, but since there are many 
providers, I thought It could be faster to ask the mailing list directly. 

This will be used as an AP in a pfSense appliance (for testing purposes) and 
might be deployed in larger scale deployment if testing is ok… So I'd rather 
use very good quality "branded" hardware. Could be 802.11 G. 



Sincerely yours.

I suggest that you start with a fresh "php.ini" file in order to have up to 
date values. 

If you have compiled it with cli, you can post the output of php -v here so we 
can figure out more precisely what is going on with your install… 

I am running PHP 5.4.5 on 7.4 without problem - I had problem upon install, but 
they all came from php.ini not beeing up to date (AFAIR).

SSD for FreeBSD NAS device

2012-11-20 Thread bsd
Hello, 

I have just acquired an Intel R2312GZ4GC4 which I have equipped with a Adaptec 
RAID 51245 and 6 WD red disks of 3To - It'll come with 32Gb of Kingston ECC 
RAM. 

I am planing to use It as a backup device on a second hosting facility to 
backup couple of critical servers of mine. 


  Item: Intel(R) Server System R2312GZ4GC4
Intel(R) Server System: integrated in a 2U chassis supporting
12x3.5* Hot-swap drives, 24 DIMMs,  2 750W Redundant Power
Supplies, enterprise class IO, Intel(R) Remote Management
Module 4 (AXXRMM4R) Integrated Intel(R) Server System with (1) 
Intel(R) Server Board S2600GZ4 in 2U chassis, (1) airduct, (1) 
Control panel on rack handle, Support for 2x SSD mounting on
airduct, (12) 3.5” Hot Swap Drive Carriers with (1) Hot Swap 
Backplane, (3) SFF8087 to SFF8087 cables, (2) CPU heatsinks,
Redundant and hotswap cooling fans, (2) risers with 3 x8 slots 
(2xFHFL 1xFHHL), (2) 750W AC Power Supply, Intel(R) Remote
Management Module 4, (1 Set) Value rails 
   Qty: 1



I will use ZFS as file system for both the root drive (SSD ?) - and the Adaptec 
RAID / JBOD controller (RAIDZ2 probably).

I wanted to know what were your experiences on choosing an SSD HD as master 
boot device / root FS ? 

Do you think I should go for a redundant SSD drives (RAID 1) or does this 
offers limited interest in such config ? 


I have been reading comments about "failure" / problems here and there, but 
comments are not so fresh (one year is very old in SSD). 

So I wanted to have fresh infos and updates on your experiences with SSD on 
such mid size system. 


Thx.

9.1-R and garbage on the console

2013-01-12 Thread bsd
Hello.

I installed 9.1-R amd64 on a flash drive and boot off it to do remote ZFS
backups.  Booting and the text console screen, including the other alt-f?
consoles, work fine at this point.  A few minutes into the ZFS receive my
console turns into blocky garbage:  http://imgur.com/y8kWR . The system is
not crashed and works fine via SSH.  The box's mainboard (GA-E7AUM-DS2H)
has "Integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400" graphics.  It appears to me that the
RAM shared with the video card is overwritten/corrupted.

Any ideas on how to remedy this?  Thanks for any advice.

Best approach to jails + zfs

2013-01-25 Thread bsd
Hi, 

I wanted to have the point of view of the community on the best approach in 
order to handle a quite large system with couple of jails (shouldn't have more 
than 5 to 10). Whole system is based on zfs. I'll use this as a backup server.

I have been using the "handbook" approach so far. It is quite stable but the 
linked directories inside each jail is quite error prone and may be confusing. 
With this approach you can update all your jails at once… this is quite 
tempting, but if you have an error… all your jails are gone at once ! == you 
can't afford to have a kernel compile problem while updating your system or 
you're dead !! 

http://www.freebsd.org/doc//handbook/jails-build.html


The other approach that I have found is to use create a base jail system using 
sysinstall and then zfs snapshot to clone It. You then use this to create a 
jail. You end up with couple of independent jails which are not linked to each 
other in any way. You can / need to update each jail one by one. 

http://vocalbit.com/article/402/freebsd-jails-using-zfs-and-bsdinstall


• I wanted to know if the handbook approach is still the most recent one 
considering the latest progress in FBSD jail management ? 

• I wanted to know if you had some "mixed" approach that can leverage the risk 
of the handbook approach ? 

• Last but not least - do you have any good pointer to recent guide / howto / 
studies on the subject ? 


Thanks

I am a bit skeptical on the third party script approach. 

How stable has It been ? 

I have been using warden with PC-BSD "TrueOS" for testing and I have 
encountered all sorts of problems (not stable when you have two pools of disks 
- can't delete jail…)… Quite interesting approach, but not mature enough to be 
launched in production. 

I have finally gotten back to the FreeBSD root file system which I am using 
since couple of years now. It is not fancy, It does not provide script to ease 
your pain… But you understand what you are doing and It does what you tell him 
to do !! 

ZFS has introduced a new challenge, but now that I have understood (more or 
less) how It is working, I found It really great! 
Just trying to figure out the best way to use both Jail + ZFS. 


But I might re-consider my position… Does ezjail comply with the latest FreeBSD 
9 / 9.1 advances in jail / ZFS management improvement ? 


Thanks for your feedback.

[OT] NTP related question

2003-01-14 Thread bsd
Hi all! 

I have my NTP server running on BSD - great! 

My Question: Any suggestions for a simple, light, free NTP client that will 
run on Win2k Workstations? 

Since this is somewhat Off-Topic, you may prefer to reply directly to me 
than adding more OT traffic to the list... 

Regards,
Patrick O'Reilly.

As usual, thanks for the quick responses :)  I've decided to use automachron 
(it was real nice 'n easy)

Can I use GRE on a gif device?

2003-01-17 Thread bsd
Hi all. 

I have successfully configured a tunnel from a BSD box to a Cisco router 
using the gif device to implement the BSD end of the tunnel. 

The Cisco Technician doing the far end of the config said that the protocol 
of choice for the job is GRE (protocol 47 according to /etc/protocols).  
However, I found that gif is using IPENCAP (protocol 4 according to 
/etc/protocols).  Said technician told me that GRE encrypts the tunneled 
data, while IPENCAP does not. 

So I guess there are really 2 questions:
1) Would it be wiser for me to run a tunnel on GRE than on IPENCAP?
2) Is there a way to tell gif to use GRE as the encapsulation protocol? 

I find no reference to GRE in the gif man page. 

Regards,
Patrick O'Reilly.
