Re: sendmail 4.6 fixed binary on 4.5-RELEASE ?

I am using:

is working fine.
But what if I use this binary replacement on a 4.5-RELEASE system ?
Has anyone tested or tried this ? I would assume it would work because I
notice many apps moving gracefully between 4.5 and 4.6, but I wonder if
anyone has any official word - or even a prediction ?
It's unlikely that there will be any official word that the binary
patch you're using will work on releases earlier than 4.6. As the
upgrade from sendmail-8.11.6 to sendmail-8.12.x and the corresponding
fun'n'games due to dropping the SUID bit on sendmail and the import of
/etc/rc.sendmail all occurred between release 4.5 and release 4.6 I
doubt that it would work entirely smoothly.
It's possible that the patched version might work on a 4.5 system, but
don't throw away the old sendmail binary until you're sure. It's
probable that you will need to:
chmod 4755 /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail (Only on 4.5-RELEASE or prior)
and you will see complaints in /var/log/maillog about inconsistent
versions of sendmail.cf if it does work at all.
Alternatively you could either try installing the ports version of
sendmail or cvsup'ing to the latest RELENG_4_5 sources and running a
{build,install}world.

Hi! But what if I use this binary replacement on a 4.5-RELEASE system ? Sendmail architecture on FreeBSD changed quite drastically between 4.5-RELEASE and 4.6-RELEASE (see /usr/src/UPDATING for details). I think that for this reason the binary update is not quite drop-in on 4.5, but I'm really no expert. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?

It is too late to try it to night. I have never used send-pr before. If you can send mail, you can use send-pr. However, after careful reading this might not be a bug but intended behaviour. You see, the manpage says this on the -r switch (and paraphrases it for the -R switch): -r --recursiveAct on all those packages depending on the given packages as well. The problem is that 'act' is not defined very well -- if you think about it, you've asked portupgrade, by using -pur, to check if fontconfig is out of date and *if so* rebuilt it, and do *the same thing* for all packages dependent on fontconfig. Now, because qt hadn't changed, portupgrade didn't rebuilt it. It probably did consider it though. You can use -v with portupgrade to check this. If you use -f, it will *unconditionally* rebuild all dependent ports. Is this a problem? Yes and no. Most of the time (and I suspect it is so with qt) the dependant ports use the shared library. This means that they will have the new functionality of the Xft port right away. There are at least two cases where this breaks: - Xft was upgraded to use a new major version. The old library is saved by portupgrade in a compatibility path, so qt and all other dependant packages will still function correctly, but it might pay to rebuild them to use the new library. Most of the time this requires source patches to the dependant ports though, because a library version bump should indicate an API breakage. - Dependant ports used the *static* library. Now they need to be rebuild after every upgrade of Xft. There's no way to avoid this except to bug the authors of the port to consider using the shared library instead. So, in retrospect, portupgrade was only doing what you told it to do. I would suggest that next time you try and let portupgrade decide what to upgrade, and check if dependant ports still work as expected. I'd estimate that in 95% of the cases, they still work. Hope this helps to clear up some of the confusion. --Stijn -- An Orb is for life, not just for Christmas. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
[LAPTOP]: Use of external keyboard with dockable station issue
Hello, I'm using a Compaq Armada E500 laptop and, after some normal newbies problems, I I succeed in installating the FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. These are my first steps into freebsd... As I have a dockable station, I've tried to plug my laptop into the dock in order to use it with externals monitor, mouse and keyboard. The problem come with the keyboard which does not work at all once the boot is finished. What is strange is that at the beginning of the boot session, the keyboard seems to work fine (keyboard leds switched on) as I'm able to launch the boot process, by pressing the Enter key, before the 10 seconds countdown end. But once this step passed, and arriving to the login phase the keyboard doesn't not work. As the embedded keyboard of the laptop is not accessible (plugged into the dock), I'm only able to turn off the laptop. Could you help me with this issue ? May be I have to build a new kernel while using the laptop outside its dock. But as I'm a newbies I don't know how to declare 2 keyboards into my kernel configuration file.

FreeBSD install and IBM PC Server 325
Howdy- I've got an old IBM PC Server 325 sitting over here that I'd love to be able to get FreeBSD installed on. I've tried on and off for a few months now, and am tired of bashing my head against the wall. (for the record, I do have FBSD installs on 6 other machines that I use on a daily basis - this IBM server is driving me crazy). The machine will boot from the CD, prompt for kernel configuration, but I hang for (or immediately after?) the following message: Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle I've double and triple checked all the cabling and the device termination - everything appears to be good. I can, in the SCSI bios, low level format all of the disks. When I got the machine, it had a working NT4 install on it - and for shits and giggles, I've since been able to load Windows 2000 onto it. A little more information about the machine: its a dual pent pro machine, only has one CPU in it currently the onboard SCSI controller (no IDE controller) is an AIC7880 I've tried installing with all of the drives, each drive individually, and with all the drives in every possible configuration - nothing. I've also renumbered each of the drives and repeated the above attempts - still nothing. I'm stumped - I've got no idea what it doesn't like. Attempts at searching the -questions and -scsi archives have met with failure. I don't know what to say. If anyone has any ideas, I'm more than willing to listen. I do ask to be cc:'d on any response, as I'm not currently tracking -questions. Many thanks. -Ryan T.

A couple of questions related to the sendmail patch, etc.
Hello, A couple of quick questions... I've downloaded the 8.11.6 patch from sendmail.org, and used the instructions they provided [patch -p0 /PATH/TO/sendmail.8.11.6.security.cr.patch], which then prompts me for 'which file to patch.' I'm not clear on which file I _need_ to patch? Or where it would be. I've read the thread on this already, and perhaps I'll try upgrading Sendmail in its entirety. But, for my amusement, how would I patch my current (working perfectly) version of Sendmail? Second question, I'd like to re-compile my Kernel and some other things that required the sources to be installed. On one machine (where I didn't install then initially), I'm having a real challenge trying to get them (chicken and egg); using sysinstall, I'm trying to install additional distributions sources all. Unfortunately, the CD-ROM does not seem to be working on this box, so I'm trying via ftp... but I keep receiving this message: Warning: Can't find the `4.5-RELEASE' distribution on this server. You may need to visit a different server for the release you are trying to fetch or go to the Options menu and to set the release name to explicitly match what's available on ftp.freebsd.org (or set to any). Would you like to select another FTP server?

Gregory Neil Shapiro, the maintainer of Sendmail on FreeBSD, has already merged the latest Sendmail version (8.12.8) to the RELENG_4 branch. Actually, according to what I can see in a quick trawl through cvsweb, he's MFC'd sendmail patches on all RELENG_x and RELENG_x_y branches back to and including RELENG_3: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/sendmail/src/?sortby=dateonly_with_tag=RELENG_3 However, it seems that his modifications don't constitute a complete upgrade to sendmail-8.12.8 except on RELENG_4 and HEAD. Hence the confusion over the binary updates given in the original security alert. Your sendmail binary will be immune to this attack if you've built it out of a recently cvsup'd source tree or installed one of the binary patches so that: -- you're running sendmail-8.12.8 or better or -- the string 'Dropped invalid comments from header address' appears in the sendmail binary. Thanks to Claus Assmann for pointing out the second test. Cheers, Matthew Thanks Matt. Few questions though: 1. What is `BP'? If you're talking about CVS tags that stands for Branch Point -- ie. RELENG_4_7_BP marks the state of the sources at the point that the RELENG_4_7 branch was created out of the RELENG_4 sources. It's not a particularly rewarding place to look for a fixed version of sendmail though. 2. I appllied the patch and now I'm building world with my exsisting 4.4 sources. Is this not `safe' as cvsuping and then buidling world? I'm not sure I understand the implications of not cvsuping, especially since the patch has been applied to 8.11.6 in the 4.4 branch. There's different interpretations of safe. If you're running production services on your machine and you can't afford the time to run through regression tests and the like which you should do when upgrading to a new OS version, then a conservative upgrade, like applying the patches from the advisory or cvsup'ing to the latest RELENG_4_4 sources sounds like a good idea. On the other hand, if this is a personal machine and you can cope with the sort of fallout you may encounter by doing a wholesale upgrade[*] then generally, running the latest available 4.x version will give you maximum benefit of all the development that's gone into the system over the last year or so with minimum teething problems due to untried code.

I've been having hard time setting up the OS. Any idea how can I make it work, is there any way I can see the IRQ and port for the ISA card without runny another OS on the machine? Does FreeBSD _see_ your card? Is it mentioned in the kernel messages? If so, what do they exactly say? Or if you get to the install, is the card listed among the network devices that you can use to install over? Look for some device with a mac address, e.g.: ep0: 3Com 3C509-Combo EtherLink III at port 0x310-0x31f irq 10 on isa0 ep0: Ethernet address 00:60:08:47:b1:0b This Ethernet address indicates that it is an ethernet card :-) And how can I test if the ethernet card is up and running? Usually there is some sort of DOS program for these old cards. You can run it from a DOS floppy. This program can be used to set IRQ etc. as well as to test the functioning. Some of these cards also can be set to both BNC and UTP connectors, some even have AUI. Often this works fine when set to auto. However, if it set by some setup program in the past to do BNC and you use UTP, it won't communicate obviously. Some cards do have jumpers to set IRQ etc. And then you have to enter the correct data of IRQ etc during the FreeBSD install. Precisely because it is ISA. And sometimes you also have to set the IRQ and memory address as reserved in the BIOS. Otherwise those of your ISA card may be used by some PCI device, and then it doesn't work, of course. In my experience this is true for the Western Digital 8013 cards. It is a bit of work, but many of these old cards do run fine still, and you can pick them up from the street. Same with BNC cable, which has far better connectors than UTP (RJ45, a.k.a. cat 5). I mean, stand on a RJ45 connector, and you know what I mean. And you don't need a hub, and have less cables on the floor, since BNC is daisy chain. So if you are not going for 100 MBit, go ahead.

Looks like in FreeBSD you need to cd to /usr/src/usr/sbin/sendmail

Then restart sendmail.
Is there a way to test that the vulnerability has been fixed?
There are also a few other things you need to recompile:

So far i have manually done this to my router. sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 # gateway_enable=YES natd -interface rl1 ipfw -f flush ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via rl1 ipfw add pass all from any to any notes: r11 is my external network rl0 is my internal network here is what i would like to do in a more standard way. Please correct my wording if it is off or if it unclear. port forward: ssh from a local machine port 22 to the router port 22, open to the outside port forward: vpn port 5001 for all local machines, open to the outside block all servers on the router to the outside, but not the inside anyone on the local network has access to services on the router what else should i consider? is port forwarding done with ip or with mac address? cheers, brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

natd not working :(
I'm having problems being a gateway for my freebsd box at home (I can acccess internet, but others can't). I have no problem to use the internet from my freebsd box with or without the natd rule enabled. This is what is puzzling me. I can access the outside net, through natd and via tun0, so natd must be working. Again I confirmed this by the count on ipfw rule which is showing that I am going through natd via the divert rule. What is it other than gateway, and natd that might be causing packets not be routed properly for the other clients? I've checked that the gateway ip and tcpip connection is ok for the clients also. Any help would be much appreciated as always. fxp0 = conneciton to local network fxp1 = pppoe device that ppp uses tun0 I've confirmed that, net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1 and here's my setup: in rc.conf gateway_enable=YES ppp_enable=YES ppp_mode=ddial ppp_profile=streamyx firewall_enable=YES firewall_script=/etc/ipfw.rules firewall_quiet=NO log_in_vain=NO natd_enable=YES natd_interface=tun0 natd_flags=-dynamic and my simple firewall rules (I've deleted stuff which is not important and working like dns, ntp etc.): #firewall command fwcmd=/sbin/ipfw # Force a flushing of the current rules before we reload. $fwcmd -f flush # RULES FOR INTERNAL NETWORK ## # Setup localhost $fwcmd add allow ip from any to any via lo0 $fwcmd add allow any from any to any via fxp0 # Divert all packets through the tunnel interface. $fwcmd add divert natd all from any to any via tun0 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

RFE: include CVSROOT-src in src-all cvsup distribution
Hi, I've noticed that recently the cvsup distribution of commitlogs has been moved out of CVSROOT/commitlogs to CVSROOT-*/commitlogs and replaced with a symlink. However, the CVSROOT-* directories are not part of the corresponding *-all cvsup distribution (only cvs-all). Would it be feasible to include them in those distributions aswell? I've always appreciated being able to look at the logs. Thanks, Rolf PS: I couldn't find a list specific to cvsup, so I hope this is ok here.

gateway and other freebsd network function

A gateway, also called a default router is a machine that knows how to get network traffic anywhere (theoretically). Thus, if you have a small (or large for that matter) network, each computer will have a gateway configured so that if it doesn't know how to reach a particular computer, it can send the data to the gateway, and the gateway will figure out how to deliver it. This is somewhat oversimplified, but should give you the idea. And what are other good things about freebsd in terms of networking? That's a pretty broad question. In my opinion, the best thing about FreeBSD's networking is that it just works. No playing around, no silly browse masters to worry about. Usually, you turn on the machine and it just works. The next best thing is the abundance of network tools for performance testing, problem diagnosis and just about anything else you could need. But if you ask 5 other people, you'll probably get 5 other answers. -- 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

AMI Megaraid, failed array
Hi all, A FreeBSD 4.7 machine with an AMI Megaraid controller and 3 disks in a RAID 5 array failed on me this week. One of the disk drives went into offline state due to overheating and the array, to the best of my knowledge should have continued in degraded mode. Two things concern me at this point. 1. There were no messages in /var/log/messages to indicate that a disk had failed and the array was in degraded mode. 2. With 2 disks of the array still online, we were unable to read / execute loads of data. Many text files were unreadable and system binaries like tar unusable. When we got the disk back online and rebooted the box, we were able to easily read data, and files that appeared to be corrupt turned out not to be.

upgrading sendmail from ports was Re: Sendmail patch questions...
I would like to upgrade sendmail from the ports collections. However, I have been using sendmail 8.12.6 from the base install of freebsd 4.6.2 release and I believe that installing sendmail from the ports collection will add files to /usr/local rather then /usr where sendmail is currently located.

partition is e should be a -- how to fix?
Hi I have sent this three or four times already in the last 30 hours and never seen it show up in the list... I am trying sending from a different account. Over the weekend, I upgraded my HW on my server, replacing all disks with new ones. In order to do this, I mounted the new disks, used sysinstall to partition and label the new partitions, and then I used dump/restore to move all the old partitions files and data to the new partitions. I then took the old drives off, made appropriate fstab changes as needed, and rebooted. Then I noticed a problem. My root partition was now da0s1e instead of da0s1a . I can boot the machine if I manually enter the different partition letter into the bootloader, but the bootloader doesn't find its meta data settings and the machine won't boot unattended. How do I fix this? How do I change the root partition from using e to a? I would think I could use disklabel to map the a partition to the same range of blocks as the e partition, remake the special dev files, and be done with it. However, I am wanting some second opinions on this, and since I am not a disklabel guru, some guidance on how to use disklabel without screwing up my system would be appreciated. I am studying disklabel man pages, but I don't want to screw up my running system and would appreciate a small how-to explanation from someone who IS a disklabel guru :-) Thanks Chad To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Aliasing Libraries or Installing Older Versions
Thanks in advance for any help. Trying to build mod_php4 (version 4.3.1) as a port, basically not a big deal, BUT ... when I try to add XSLT support via Sablotron, the Sablotron port builds nicely from /usr/ports/textproc/sablotron but installs a version of library that ldconfig -r lists as lsablot.70.

I thought I might just cp the apache13 port, call if something different, say apache13-2, and then do a make PREFIX=/usr/local/apache_whatever install. But should I use the ports system for this? Under linux I'd just do different compiles, which I could do here, but I like the ease-of-upgrading provided by ports so I'd like to use that if I could, as well as just gain the general insight. John, Going at this from a different angle, if Apache was the one port you wanted to do this with, you could possibly accomplish this by having different httpd.conf files for your different Apache setups. Then by hacking the apachectl/httpd -f argument you could specify which configuration you wanted to start up.

The USB standard is a large, difficult and fairly buggy standard and its implementation in hardware is usually pretty buggy too. Read through the -current mailing list where they've discussed much of the hardware issues with USB. If the hardware maker does not release enough documentation it can be impossible for somebody to write a FreeBSD driver for it. It takes much more work to write a driver when the device maker gives partial info for it than for MS who gets all of the detailed specs. So when you're getting free hardware support, be careful you're not complaining. You may want to try -current if you're willing to accept all that goes with that (reading the Handbook, following the mailing list, etc). That is where the newest USB code goes in.

Re: partition is e should be a -- how to fix?
On Tue, Mar 04, 2003 at 02:33:31PM -0700, Chad Leigh wrote: How do I fix this? One possible fix, if you are amenable to recreating the partitions and retransferring the data, is to use sysinstall to create the partitions as follows: create your root partition and fib and tell sysinstall that the mount point is / (root). sysinstall will assign it to the a partition. Then press M to change the mount point and change it to, for example, /mnt. This assumes you would be mounting your new disk's file systems under /mnt as say, /mnt for root, /mnt/var, /mnt/usr, etc. This avoids the problem in the first place, but in your case it would require that you go back and start over with the process of moving data from your old disk to the new disk.

Sounds like you're out of memory/swap or hit some other process limit.
what does 'limits' and/or 'swapinfo' say? Anything in the logfiles?

Portupgrade .. yet again
At the risk of being boring.. Portupgrade works fine for some people, less than fine for others. Now I read the docs, the very patient advice given by people on the list. I have a very ordinary FreeBSD system. Portupgrade trashed my KDE installation. Trashed with a big T. Now, I can fix this, 'cos this mama knows about computers. Now I have experience, updating systems is almost always a ball-breaker. So encouraged I tried out portupgrade. problem 1... no way was it having -a ..didn't know how to make.. problem 2.. -R/r .. wow you hit the jackpot with that, it rebuilds things you have never even heard of problem 3.. mm, this one foxed me, trying to find things in /usr/local/lib/.libs problem 4 .. I don't use Gnome, I hate it, errmm portupgrade update it for me..oh yes.. Problem 5 .. now I tried to update things individually. By name. Well lo and gehold, and bless my cotton socks, portupgrade decided to update all sorts of things, mutt, postfix, stuff I never even breathed at. Btw Mike, the reason you were getting my intranet addresses was because portupgrade replaced my Muttrc file. Now before the flames start, I am willimg to try and re-write portupgrade. In C. It is a complex job, if anyone wants to help email me off list. -- Regards Cliff [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

You can only test some things: what you have shown is that none of the things that burn* does cause your system to reboot. The only way you can rule out hardware failure completely is to replace it component by component and see if the problem persists. Your problems certainly sound like failing hardware. The archives are littered with examples of people who swore black and blue that failing hardware could not possibly be the cause of their mysterious reboots, until they found the failing hardware and replaced it :-) Check and swap out/replace RAM, power supply, CPU fan, cabling, CPU etc. Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
out of curiosity..
is there an app that would allow me to play CDs on my BSD box and have that stream over an intranet? I want to set up a CD tower that allows for that sort of thing. Here's what i've got: Freebsd 4.7 Release sitting on a 10/100 network, serving as samba box (roaming profiles set up..don't know why this would matter, but anyway) attached on the network are a Win NT 4 workstation and Win 2K Pro boxes, and several windows 98 systems (this is a lab setup) I'm interested only in getting the streaming to the win2k box.

RE: out of curiosity..
You are on the right track, but, i'm more interested in NOT dealing with Mp3s. I want to be able to, say, load a 7 cdrom tower (nothing but scsci cdroms, all chained, with an external scsi port) with cds, then play direct from there. Basically, I want a jukebox. Although I may try the mod port.

Yup, you are out of swap space.
Fix: add more RAM or swap space.
As to why this is happening.probably because you have to many
processes running. Do 'ps aux' and check the %MEM column for memory pigs..
Workaround: drop to single-user mode and try buildworld again.

Do you live in an area prone to thunderstorms? You can get devices to protect against somne of these things. My second suggestion is going to sound really weird. My FreeBSD system disappears into the boonies when I have a screen saver enabled. That is xscreevsaver. Given enough time, and enough core dumps. it crashes my system as sure as eggs is eggs. I kind of proved this by leaving the systen running for days with and without screen saver. It boonied with the screen saver, it did not wihout. A few questons. Power supply ? Do you have SCSI disks ? They eat electricity like it is going out of fashion. Heat, is the server overheating ? If you have a modern BIOS it can tell you what the temperature is. You need to watch what the CPU temp is, because the reaction to over heating is reboot.
