Moving my home server to completely different hardware
Hi all, I'm running a home server, which acts as an IP-forwarding machine for my home network, does some webserving, mail, etc. It's currently based on a Pentium 120, but I plan to move it to an AMD Athlon.About the only thing that will remain the same is the hard drive and the two NICs in the machine. What would be my best route? Fresh install? (Eeek, have to install everything all over again). I think it should be possible to just take the hard drive and put in in the new machine, boot a generic kernel and then compile a new kernel for the new hardware, but I'm wondering whether I'm missing something.

Re: Help with lost partition info.
On Sat, Nov 09, 2002 at 04:04:56PM -0800, Derrick MacPherson wrote: I lost my partition info during an upgrade. I never actually wnet ahead with the upgrade, yet but I guess I overwrote the info that says whre my partitions are mounted, and I'm unsure whichi is which.. I don't want to map / to the wrong partition and have the /etc/master.passwd and other important files overwritten. I have the latest boot floppies, and I can get to sysinstall - I'm wondering if there is a way to get the proper info off the disks? I have a large partition that I can overwrite if it's worth doing a minimal install to that partition to read teh origional fstab file, but is there a easier or better way? I have to get this back up ASAP, so anything that is quick and easy (HA!) would be great... This is one of those maximum frustration situations: you know the data is still there on the disk, but you can't get to it. All you need to do is reconstruct the disk slice and partition tables, but if you don't get it exactly right you won't achieve anything. *The* quick and easy solution is to have had the foresight to keep offline copies of the output of 'fdisk da0' and 'disklabel -r da0s1' (for whatever values of da0 or da0s1 are appropriate for you system). Print out of both of those should fit onto a single sheet of A4 or letter paper. Make a habit of printing out this information as part of the standard routine of setting up a new machine. Keep the printouts with your level 0 backups. Failing that, your best bet is the sysutils/gpart port -- http://home.pages.de/~michab/gpart/ or http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/user/76201/gpart/ Of course, to use that you need a running system: your best bets are either to pull the disk out of the trashed machine, add it to a working system and run gpart on it from there (the other system doesn't necessarily have to be FreeBSD: a Linux box would do as well) --- or grab a copy of the staticly linked gpart program from Michail Brzitwa's site, write it onto a floppy and then boot the system to single user mode from the install CDs, mount the floppy and away you go. Fixit mode should work for this purpose: http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/4-STABLE/installation/i386/trouble.html Section 4.1.

Get the IP of the spammer if possible. I've had to use a total block like
this:

When I run a command like this it doesn't understand 'fwcmd'.

Sorry, that was a defined variable in my script:

Net connection problem: sis, miibus
Hi all! I have a friend who decided to try FreeBSD 4.6.2 and it works just fine except one thing, his connection to the internet. He has a sis network card, which is compiled into the kernel, with miibus that is required. He gets a connection just fine, for about half a minute, then it doesn't work anymore, with long periods of wait time. A ping to an address works perfectly, next minute a ping to the same address does not work. Somehow, issuing kldstat, the miibus is there, which it should not, as it's compiled into the kernel. If I recall correct, it's not there when it's first working, but later it is, when not working. There is also an arp message, that looks as if some change of MAC- address has taken place, which seem to be strange. Also, one last thing, ifconfig says the sis is using full-duplex. Is that ok, if maybe not the other side can handle full-duplex? I can provide more information if needed to help me solve this pro- blem, so that he can start using FreeBSD full time. Thanks in advance for any reply! Best regards, Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
make pid files
Is there a way to create pid files for applications you start, if the application doesn't have a configuration option within itself to create one ? Im guessing using some kind of regex with grep to capture the pid/error number when you run it ? Though im not really that good with that stuff.

The second is to keep your system from being added to lists of open relays or spam sources. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

coloring up my life
Hey guys, So I like working in the console, is there any other way? But I find that all that black and white really gets kind of boring in the long run. So I want to start coloring everything up nice and pretty. I have started on my shell (tcsh) and ls. This is where my knowledge on this subject ends. So my question is, does anyone else have pointer/tips/hints/ideas on how to put more color in my life? ie /etc/motd, commands other than ls, other?

general questions about patches ports [nethack]
(no answers off ports, so thought I'd give it a try on questions) In an effort to get some experience with ports I've been working in my spare time on making a local entry in the tree that lets you apply a variety of nethack enhancing, generally accepted patches (namely the hell patch, dump patch, new toys, and toughvlad patches) using -D appendations to the initial make command. It builds fine with various patches enabled; however, I had to modify the original diffs to get everything to apply it an order independent fashion. Part of this was necessary because I was specifying the files to use via PATCHFILES and some .if defined() ... .endif branches in the Makefile, and their application order did matter. Anyhow, I got that sorted out, and have been storing my patchfiles on a remote server and fetching using a PATCH_SITES define, which fetches and applies seamlessly. That brings me to my questions.. First, for future reference, is there a way, besides naming patchfiles aa ab ac etc, to get PATCHFILES, or any similar defines, to apply patches in a user specifid particular order? Second, is there a way to store/bundle optional patches with a port and be able to include them in the build or not, at your discretion, so that you don't have to fetch them from third party sites? Third, is there even any interest in something like this, or does conservative BSD philosophy frown on game patches such as these being included in the ports tree, leaving it to the end user to compile from scratch and apply patches by hand if they wish enhancement? --Eric To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-ports in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Permissions user/group scheme for webserver?
This is an excellent question, and it's also an enduring problem. It's easy enough to make all files owned by user:nobody, but the problem is that CGI's executing as nobody can go off and read other peoples files! To counter this, I run all CGI's as suid the user. But this requires Apache's suexec code, which is difficult to get working properly, since the Apache folks disapprove and have placed so many restrictions on it. Of course you run the risk of an insecure CGI allowing an attacker to place files in your web tree, or plant trojan binaries. Buy hey, just don't write insecure CGI's! :) I'd love to hear if anyone knows a way to restrict a CGI's access to a particular sub-tree. The suexec stuff really is a pain, and more of risk than I really like to take. -Lee 11/10/02 3:21:23 PM, Johannes Angeldorff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear FreeBSD:ers!

Apache Help
Ok here is the deal. I've been trying to get apache to work on my FreeBSD 4.6.2 box. Here is what I was told I should do to install apache/php http://lith.hn.org/apache.php I know it install this way but want to make sure it is the correct way to install apache/php on freebsd. The domain name I am trying to use with apache is bsdsys.dyndns.org and I just can't get it. Sorry, I've RTFM many times and just don't know what I'm doing wrong. I hope someone will help me out here. I am going to do a new install of apache/php from those instructions on that site I just provided here unless someone says I should do it different. All I want for starters is to get apache working to where when someone hits bsdsys.dyndns.org it shows the apache stuff so atleast I know I have things setup right then I will work on the rest to add the content. So if no one minds to help me I would really appreciate it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Adding additional HD space
The 10 GB Hard Disk should have a BIOS Limitation jumper that will make the BIOS think it is a 508 MB drive. Set that jumper, and the system should boot. Once you have that drive in there, you could create the file system structure on it however you want, but place the / and /boot partitions below 500 MB so that the system will boot when you take out the old drive. Note that you will have to tell fdisk the correct geometry of the disk. Otherwise, create the partitions exactly how you have them on your 2 GB drive, making them larger as you wish, and dump + restore the files from one disk to the other. Once everything is copied over, you can install the boot sector on the new drive with fdisk -B -b /boot/mbr NOTE: Replace /boot/mbr with the path of the new hard disk! For example, /mnt/boot/mbr if you mounted the new disk under /mnt. After this is done, you can set the jumpers on the new drive to match the position of the old one (master, for example) and simply swap it out. Reboot, and enjoy.

What is the best way to go about replacing the drive? Few points to keep in mind: 1. The system cannot deal with HD drives over, I believe, 8 gigs. 2. I suppose it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway: its critical to maintain the existing data! The machine is my web, mail, ssh, vpn, and ftp server. Needles to say I do a full backup every night. Ideally I'd like to buy new drive and do a ghost of the old drive onto the new drive. If you're not familiar with the term ghost -- in the Windows world there is a piece of software the allows you to do a bit for bit copy of one drive to another and accordingly its called Norton Ghost. Would doing a full restore from my backup be equivalent to this? If so, how do I preserve the partition structure and how do I actually perform the task? Do I boot using the old HD, do the restore onto the new drive, shutdown, unhook the old drive and reboot? How do I know the data is unaltered and is an exact copy? My last question -- How can I get the system to recognize larger hard drives? I have been successful getting older systems to recognize large drives using utilities such as MaxBlaster from Maxtor, but that was using Windows. Are there similar utilities for FreeBSD? I tried adding a 10 gig drive the system in question but the system refused to boot with that drive in any place on the IDE chain. I was also unsuccessful in using the MaxBlaster to enable the drive for use on the system. Maybe I was doing something wrong? Thanks in advance. ...

For the benefit of that argument though, I *did* chmod 777 the file with the same result - nothing doing at the printer. In fact Warren, I ran trafshow at the same time I attempted printing, and on all occasions no traffic between the samba server and the Win2K box was captured. Concurring with you earlier deduction, that something must be wrong with apsfilter. That's failed big time. I'll try printing with lpr: # lpr -Php845c test Won't work--you're just sending more stuff through the same failing input filter. I suggested in an earlier response that it would be good to get basic text printing working before trying one of the big filter packages like apsfilter. I think I even posted a printcap entry that would work. What happens when you try that? I haven't tried attaching the printer directly to the samba server to test printing that way. But I am able to print (/etc/hosts) to the printer via smbclient using command line. This method however, bypasses apsfilter. Such a struggle this. I have tried all diplomatic means of communicating this problem to folks at apsfilter.org to no avail. I have been trouble-shooting this for over a week now, with only curt responses from the couple of people there to show for it. I'll hanker on for tonight, but will probably kick this project to the linux guys (they've an alternative being worked on using CUPS / RH8) if I get no joy. Thanks for the kind reply.

How is this possible? The load average is just an indication of the average number of processes waiting to use the machine at any one time. It can get very high, over 100 under some circumstances. The reason you can run your other applications is because of load balancing. fvcool is running at a low priority (higher number). I still suspect it's not supposed to consume all that CPU time, though, and I find it rather strange that this should help cool the CPU.

RE: Mounting Files -- Help Plz :)
Tx duncan, Let me see if I got this right... File server will be the box with ftp - right?

My question -- What is the best way to mount or link to the files from box to box? NFS When user ftp in and uploads files, I want the files uploaded into my webserver box. The webserver box will have all my hdds in it... That may not be such a great idea - if you have all the drives on your web server, you would need to run the NFS server there, and if you're going to do that, why not just run FTP on the web server? Why not run a web server and a file server, NFS mount the file server on the web server and FTP files to and from the file server. I doubt you're thinking of expanding anytime soon, but if you wanted to run 2 or more web servers, that's a much easier setup. And say a user logs into ftp box,, when he uploads a file onto the other box -- will the file instantly show up for webserver? Okay, a user logs into ftp box ... Yes the file will show up instantly, or as close to.

sysutils/cpuburn lives up to its name
The subject explains it pretty well -- last night I ran burnK7 from the cpuburn port and my system is toast. Now I'm trying to figure out just what it was I killed so I can replace it. About 40 seconds into the run, the system switched the power off. Now it won't switch back on again. ACPI was disabled (relevant, since this was -current) but APM was on. I know the power supply is good since the on-board NIC shows a link on the Linksys it's attached to, and that only happens when it has power. The system just does nothing when I push the power switch. So what needs replaced? The Motherboard? The CPU? Something else? - @ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Hi all,
I have just started recently using mutt and love it. I know there are
heaps of sites that have sample .muttrc configuration files but I am

I just started using Mutt a number of weeks ago and it took me a while
to get my .muttrc file in shape. So far, I really like Mutt..it's nice
not to remove my hands from the keyboard. I'm sure that it's not really
optimized, but for the moment it works for mehere are the lines that
I altered. I've change a few things for privacy, but you get the idea.
Note that in some place, especially the 'set' lines, you may have to
comment the corresponding line later on in the file. In order to
differentiate between changes I made and the default config, I moved all
my changes to the top of the file and placed them with a begging and
ending mark. Also, be careful, as a few of the config lines are
wrapped. For what it's worth, here you go:

Re: How to stop SPAMMER??!
Hi Stephen, I hope you don't mind, I've CC'd the list as well: Guys: I locked myself out of my server using the hosts.allow script below. I couldn't get in with SSH, FTP, and *ALL* email was blocked. I changed back to the old hosts.allow and I can get back in, but so are the slimy spammers. It seems that hosts.allow is very powerfull--perhaps the way to go. However, I can't shut off FTP and email for all the other users. Does anyone have ready-to-go hosts.allow file?

Well, now we see why the file comments suggest that wrapping sshd is *not* such a good idea.. Get the IP block of the system(s) from which you are remotely adminning the server into hosts.allow with something like this at the top: all: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 : allow This is a sample netblock that makes sure hosts on my/the* LAN have access to the machinefigure out the netblock of your ISP at the home, office, or home office, and try, try, again. HTH, Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. *Your LAN may differ, of course. And, FWIW, hosts.allow is pretty 'ready to go' straight from 'the box.' Lots of examples.. Also, if I remember the O.P., you're running 4.4 or 4.5are you keeping up with patches? Surely an upgrade would be in order to address any issues that appeared over the summer...

[OT] Reverse ssh through firewall?
Hi Guys, If I have two machines (one at work, and one at home) and one of them has all ports firewalled (I can ssh from work to home, but not home to work). Is there a way to open ssh on the home machine and have my work computer connect to it (so that i have access to my work machine from home). Any ideas much appreciated...
