Re: newbie mail help
- Original Message - From: Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] You're right - most of the documentation is geared towards setting up a server. That's because that's the difficult part, and setting up as just a client depends on which of the many clients you've chosen. Basically, what you need to do is choose a client, and then follow the directions on configuring it. That should do the trick. If you like OE, then possibly you want to use Netscape Communicator or Mozilla as a client. Install those from the ports, then use the preferences menus to enter your ISP's host names for the SMTP and POP servers. If you want a command-line client, mutt and pine are popular and available in the ports. There are also other GUI clients available in the ports; look in /usr/ports/mail to see what's there. Finally, I use VM, which is a mail program that runs inside of Emacs. If you use emacs, you might want to give it a look. I apologize for posting with OE. No need to apologies - the mail came through nicely formatted, as plain text only. That's all we ask for. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. I am attempting to use Pine with fetchmail and sendmail over a cable modem to my ISP. There is some basic setting that I am unaware of. I now can send mail and newsgroup messages out over the internet, but the return address is incorrect. It uses my pc account login ID, gschenk, as the left side of my address instead of my ISP account name of gwschenk. Where is this configured? It doesn't seem to be setup in .pinerc or .fetchmailrc. Is it in sendmail somewhere? The fetchmail man page says that sendmail needs to be listening on port 25. When I run ps auxw | grep sendmail the output is: root 102 0.0 1.8 2760 2196 ??

still having syslog problems
i'm having huge problems with localizing the messages sent to my FreeBSD box by my router and my firewall appliance. all the messages seem to be congregating in /var/log/messages, when i don't want them to. i'm thinking that, the following might be an issue. *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console *.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages the *.notice second line, i'm assuming means that all notices, regardless of source, are to be sent to /var/log/messages. unfortunately, i don't know the severity rating of the messages that the firewall is sending. maybe you can help me out. a typical message looks like this: Jan 20 20:19:08 16.5 (806 hostname) id=firewall sn=(serial number of webramp) time=2003-01-20 20:19:07 fw=(some ip address) pri=5 c=256 m=38 msg=ICMP packet dropped n=2956 src==(some ip address) dst==(some ip address) rule=0^M again, an assumption, but i think that pri=5 means priority 5, which seems to be a notification level event with the cisco router. if this is the case, how could i redirect only FreeBSD notifications to go to messages? this is what i have right now: -- # external hosts (router and firewall) !router local7.* /var/log/router-logs #local7.alert /var/log/router-logs #local7.crit /var/log/router-logs #local7.debug /var/log/router-logs #local7.emerg /var/log/router-logs #local7.err /var/log/router-logs #local7.info /var/log/router-logs #local7.notice /var/log/router-logs #local7.warn /var/log/router-logs -- i made the files ahead of time by doing a touch router-logs. also is noting this as !router allowable? i didn't get a clear indication of how to do it in the documentation? is it local0.notice or something? __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: 4.7-STABLE upgrade boot failure.
# [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2003-01-16 12:52:23 -0800: Did a clean buildworld, installworld, etc. etc. on a 4.5-RC1 system up to 4.7-STABLE release. Everything went through fine, no problems. Rebuilt kernel and installed the new 4.7 GENERIC kernel, no problems. Ran mergemaster, did a MAKEDEV, no problems. Rebooted.. and problems. Upon boot, it tries to load up the root partition off of /dev/ad4s1a (which is correct), but brings up a Mount boot failure: 16 error, and asks for a good ufs root location. Typing in ufs:/dev/ad4s1a does no good. IDE controller = Highpoint HPT370 onboard = ar0. IDE drives = 2x IBM 60gig mirrored = ad4, ad5. Eventually, had to boot to 4.5-RC1 kernel which came up fine on /dev/ad4s1a. The problem is, everything else is 4.7 now, so there's lots of weirdness. I'm not sure what your problem is. I just recently installed 4.7-RELEASE on a HPT370A-based HighPoint card (RAID1), and the only problems I had was that for some reason disklabel put the / partition beyond the bootable area at the beggining of the disk, and I didn't notice it, and disk numbering. ATA_STATIC_ID seems to be used in 4.7's GENERIC... I'm out of ideas.

dhclient; DNS not updating properly
Im have a network of 4 PCs:
One running RedHat 7.2, one running WinXP, one running Debian and the last
(a laptop) running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE.
The RedHat-box acts as a NAT gateway to the internet, and runs a DHCPD to
give out IPs, DNS-servers and such, and here comes the problem. The two
other machines gets all the info properly, but the FreeBSD box does NOT get
DNS-server (it seems), atleast it doesnt update /etc/resolv.conf properly.
ep0 is a PCMCIA 3Com MegaHertz 574B NIC.
/var/log/messages only tells me this:
dhclient: New Network Number: 10.10.0.96
dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 10.10.0.111
dhclient: New Hostname:
dhclient: New IP Address (ep0): 10.10.0.100
dhclient: New Subnet Mask (ep0): 255.255.255.240
dhclient: New Broadcast Address (ep0): 10.10.0.111
dhclient: New Routers: 10.10.0.97
I've tried adding the following to /etc/dhclient.conf (even though manpages
specify that it shouldnt be neccesary):
interface ep0 {
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
}
Other than all DNS not working, the networking is fine. I've tried touch'ing
/etc/resolv.conf, I've tried adding dummy entries.
Any ideas?

Thanks a million!! Andreas Hi Andreas, I had the same problem myself, when I installed FreeBSD 4.7R on a new server. I was finally able to solve it by queueing mail from the webdaemon (from CGI scripts and such) into its own queue (that is, running messages off forms with -odq -oQ/var/spool/webqueue (and setting such as default in php.ini), and setting access rights for /var/spool/webqueue owned by the nobody user (Apache runs as nobody) as follows: drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody daemon 512 Jan 21 13:41 webqueue (would likely be user www in your case) I say solve because this does indeed make the permission errors go away, and things worked again; though I feel a more elegant solution may exist, I have not found it yet. Is Apache trying to put a temporary file into /var/spool/mqueue without having the correct permissions to do so? Not Apache itself, of course, but an invocation of sendmail from a web-page / CGI. By default sendmail queues all messages for safety. Which behavior, I believe, is controlled by the SuperSafe variable. Look for a section that says, # queue up everything before forking? O SuperSafe=True I've noticed a new directory under /var/spool which is named /clientmqueue. What is this for? That is the queue for the sendmail submission user. If you have none yet, create it: pw useradd -n smmsp -g smmsp -u 25 -m -d /var/spool/clientmqueue -s /sbin/nologin -c Sendmail Submission User Your queues will look like this: drwxrwx--- smmsp smmsp ... /var/spool/clientmqueue drwx-- root wheel ... /var/spool/mqueue And the sendmail binary needs to be set setgid smmsp. Also, which Sendmail version was included in FreeBSD 4.5 and which is included in 4.7?

The Xeon is a 32-bit device, period. It has 4GB of address space, period. What this system can do is window into the memory in some fairly sophisticated ways, but it's still only a 4GB address space. How should I do to let FreeBSD-4.7/5.0 access to 32GB mem? So far as I know, nobody is working on supporting this functionality, because it's a fairly slow way of getting access to extra memory. IA64 is available for it? No. IA64 is strictly for Itanium, at least for the moment. Xeons are *not* IA64. Or Shoul I chose any other operationg system? Windows is the only system that will use it at all well, but I seem to recall that Linux had some work on support for it. For nearly any general-computing application, though, you'll get better performance at a given price by using systems that can address all of their own memory directly.

Re: newbie mail help

Hopefully, someone else will tell you how to configure pine's username. The fetchmail man page says that sendmail needs to be listening on port 25. You don't really need fetchmail just to read mail from the POP server at your ISP. You should be able to tell pine to just go to the POP server to get the mail. When I run ps auxw | grep sendmail the output is: root 102 0.0 1.8 2760 2196 ?? Ss 2:45PM 0:00.14 sendmail: accepting connections (sendmail) smmsp 105 0.0 1.7 2660 2180 ??

How do I know it is listening at port 25? No, it shouldn't indicate port 25, because that's the standard port for mail connections. There are a number of ways to check for port 25. One is netstat -na | grep 25 and look for a line that looks like tcp4 0 0 *.25 *.*LISTEN Or you can do netstat -a | grep smtp which will show if you have a daemon listening on the smtp port. Could I have the wrong path set up in Pine for the INBOX? I'm using /var/mail/gschenk. You've got the right path. I've followed the instructions in Chapter 25 of FreeBSD Unleashed.

Does The Complete FreeBSD cover this subject better? Do I need professional assistance to set up email? I'd better end this message here as I feel a major whine coming on! :) I can't tell you where to find better documentation, but it sounds like you're doing things the hard way. Fetchmail is good for redelivering mail through the local mail system. You might do that if you have multiple external mailboxes that go to different users locally, or want your mail filters to be applied, or something like that. If you're happy with the mail as it arrives at your ISP's pop server, you should use a client that can read mail directly from the pop server.

Probably not, but it depends on your partition scheme. dump backs up filesytems, it does not traverse mount points. So if you have your partitions split up in the default manner that sysinstall uses, you probably are only backing up /, /root, /etc, and maybe a few others. /usr, /var, /tmp, and /home are usually on different partitions, so you'll need additional commands to back those up. Of course, if you made your whole drive one big partition, then the dump command above _will_ back up the whole hard drive. Or you could use tar, which does cross mountpoints. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: 4.7-STABLE upgrade boot failure.
did you let mergemaster run MAKEDEV for you, or did you run /dev/MAKEDEV std while being in /usr/src? If the latter, you didn't rebuild the devices in /dev/, you created them in /usr/src instead! That would indeed explain your problems. No, I just meant that I copied MAKEDEV from /usr/src into /dev, and then ran ./MAKEDEV std from /dev, as per the UPDATING instructions. I do suspect this as being related, as I just noted that as of the 20020318 entry notes an ATA change. I'm just not sure what else to try. After inspecting /dev a bit more thoroughly, I also found that after a ./MAKEDEV all, everything is updated to the current date except for all of the ad4 entries, and the ad5 entry. These remain dated May 8 2001. The MAKEDEV has been run normally, and from single-user. Seeing as how there was apparently an ATA update in March of 2002.. Is there a way I can safely remove and rebuild those entries? Or is this even related at all? I'm grasping at straws, I know. Thanks for your help.

Or maybe, are you really sure you have the proper devices in /dev?
No, I'm not. At this point I'm not sure of anything, seems like. All
I've
done in /dev is a MAKEDEV std with the MAKEDEV directly from /usr/src,
without removing the devices currently in there. It was my understanding
that that would rebuild everything.

No, I just meant that I copied MAKEDEV from /usr/src into /dev, and

asks whether I want to have /dev/* rebuilt, and I let it do so.

adduser 4.6 not updating /etc/passwd
After running adduser (successfully), the /etc/passwd and /etc/master.passwd files are not shown updated with the new user entry until one logs out and logs back in.

I mean defaults/rc.conf is bad enough, but this is ridiculous. -Original Message- Subject: adduser abortion We are not the only ones who were confused by adduser. Mailing list archives are full of questions about this. Maybe they'll pull their heads out of their collective asses and remove this feature one day. This is almost as bad as MS.

FBSD-4.4 vs 4.5-4.7 for fdisk, disklabel newfs
I ran into a snag using my HD backup script that works like a charm on FBSD-4.5-4.7, but won't when I just tried it on 4.4. The script uses Fdisk, Disklabel and Newfs. Seems to fdisk disklabel okay, but when I try to then run the newfs on a partition, like /dev/ad2s1a, it says, no such file or directory. Disklabel says the partition /dev/ad2s1a does indeed exist as setup. But, newfs cannot see it. Here's the switches that work for me normally on HD setup: /sbin/fdisk -BI ad2 /sbin/disklabel -w -r -B ad2s1 auto /sbin/disklabel -R -B ad2s1 mydisk.label /sbin/newfs -U /dev/ad2s1a Are there some incompatibility changes or different switches for 4.4 that I missed...???

Re: IPFW, blocking IM servers

I'd like to block IM servers from certain users on my network. No, nor will there be one. Anyone with a server can set up Jabber on any port they want. From what I've gathered on google, the only effective stragegy is to use firewall (in my case, IPFW) rules to block IP's, names. OK, first, this is really more of an administrative issue than a technical one. Tell your employees that if they IM for non-work issues (and that IM is logged, whether it is or not), then they are fired. Get your boss to back you. Then, it's not *your* problem if people are wasting their time at work. Second, the only reasonable way to do this is to block *everything* except traffic you want to allow. No client machine needs direct Internet access to send email - make them use a smarthost. Force all machines to surf the web via a Squid proxy, and only let that machine connect out on port 80. Either way is going to piss off a lot of people, so decide in advance which one you can live with. :) -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est. msg16237/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Some sort of attack?
Hi, Perusing my logs, my query-log (BIND 8.3.4, FreeBSD 4.7R) is suddenly filled with odd queries for extra. Like so: XX /207.217.120.20/extra.asarian-host.net/MX/IN No extra exists, btw. It seems some for of attack. Many of these queries also come from legitimate name servers, so I cannot just block them all. Has anyone ever seen this before? Do I need to be worried?

here comes the problem. The two

I have built the identity keys for rsa1, rsa, and dsa and placed their public keys in my authorized_keys file. You only need one out of those three. I prefer 'rsa' because it seems quicker and sucks up less entropy than 'dsa' but there's not that much to choose between those two. 'rsa1' however should really be confined for use with legacy systems that only support the SSH1 protocol version. The system is running 4.7-STABLE from about two weeks ago. I have included a listing of my .ssh subdirectory and the debug output from both ssh and sshd below. It appears that ssh is failing to read the private rsa key, and then prompting me for my passphrase. Any help/enlightenment on this would be greatly appreciated! One thing that can lead to wailing and gnashing of teeth is not having the right host public keys in the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file --- if each side of the connection should fail to list the other party, then using key based authentication can fail without warning.

IPFW, blocking IM servers
Sorry for this slightly off-topic post... Is there a comprehensive list of IM servers (names, IPs) available? I'd like to block IM servers from certain users on my network. From what I've gathered on google, the only effective stragegy is to use firewall (in my case, IPFW) rules to block IP's, names. -- Regards, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Nat and Bridge config in one box?
I hope someone out there can help!!! I need just a theoretical question answered. I have machine A = Gateway 400 MHz, FreeBSD 4.7 with 4 ethernet cards = dc0, rl0, xl0 and xl1. I want to bridge incoming dc0 to rl0 for a pass through traffic shaping firewall to the web and mail servers on machine B I also want xl0 and xl1 to be set up with Nat service feed from rl0 to service the Lan. I am trying to firewall the lan and traffic shape all in and out bound information Eventually I will move the mail and web servers to machine A ... but for now ? Am I dreaming should i put the crack pipe down or is this set up possible? I have read lots on Nat and Bridging however is seems to only be done with two machines. Any help would be very much appreciated!!! Bill Berry [EMAIL PROTECTED] I To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: Root Servers - Nameserver Update.
GP == Grant Peel [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: GP 1) Does anyone KNOW when the root servers update DNS for hosts (NS's)? GP 2) We were planning to change the DNS about 11:00 P.M. this Saturday, Taking This requires advanced planning on the order of the TTLs of your domain records. First thing is to update your zones to cut the TTL down to a few hours or even minutes. You need to do this so that the current TTL expires *before* your intended move. If your current TTL is 7 days, you're too late ;-( Just before moving, issue the NS record updates with your registrar. Hopefully you use a registrar that lets you do this dynamically via the web. It usually won't take effect for at least a day as the top-level zone files are not updated but once per day, I believe. If you have secondary DNS servers that are outside your network that is moving (this is a prime example of why this is recommended), be sure to update your DNS server and have the secondary fetch a copy of the new zone file. Then move the network, bring it all up again, and you should be good to go. If your TTL is shorter than the move time only some *really* broken remote sites won't notice in time. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D.Khera Communications, Inc.

Hey! Can anyone point me to some great websites where I can find documentation on managing users? I want to set diskquota on them, then processes and other stuff. Make few groups that have different quotas and maximum processes running. well I guess you understood me. So if anyone knows good ones I.ll be glad to visit and read them.

routing problem on 4.7 release
Hey all, I have a 4.7 release box that needs to cvsup its ports. The problem is that this box never sees the outside world normally; it does IDS on an IP-less interface and of course has a backnet interface. So basically I added a temporary IP address to this box, edited my /etc/cvsupfile to use the IP address of the cvs server (to avoid dealing with DNS), added a few lines in IPFW and then used the route command to force packets out the correct interface. The problem is that packets destined for the legal gateway (I'll call it 1.1.1.1) are still going out the backnet interface. So if I ping 1.1.1.1, I can sit and watch access-list denies show up as the backnet interface tries to ping an IP that isn't even reachable. The fact that these pings are getting out tells me that IPFW isn't the problem and that the route table is screwed up. Please chime in if anyone has an answer, all I need to do is add a static route temporarily. My config looks like this below. As you may notice, I even tried adding a route to 1.1.1.1 out the specific interface route -n add 1.1.1.1/26 -interface ti0. mas01# netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default10.20.0.1 UGSc7 56 fxp0 10.20/25 link#1 UC 2 0 fxp0 10.20.0.1 00:00:0c:07:ac:60 UHLW5 4 fxp0 1196 10.20.0.14 00:60:ab:03:7d:2f UHLW0 0 fxp0938 1.1.1.1/3200:00:00:00:00:00 ULSc0 12ti0 1.1.1.1/26 link#2 UC 00 ti0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 604lo0 165.64.255/24 1.1.1.1 UGSc0 0 fxp0 208.185.175.214/32 1.1.1.1 UGSc1 0 fxp0 = --- Know yourself and know your enemy and you will never fear defeat. --- __ Do you Yahoo!?

UPDATING doesnt mention anything about it. Furthermore there is need for doing installworld on some boxes far away in multi user mode. any chance this works? Are you looking for the Early Adopter's Guide? (its on the main webpage) This seems a little ironic. The Early Adopter's Guide simply points you to /usr/src/UPDATING... and the original poster said he'd already looked there... and now you're pointing him back to the Early Adopter's Guide. I would also like an answer to the original poster's question, but it's doesn't exist in the Early Adopter's Guide... nor does it seem to exist in UPDATING. according to /usr/src/UPDATING, multiuser updating from 4.7 to 5.0 is slim to impossible. --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
