  # install -c -m freebsd.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
  Install: Invalid file mode: freebsd.cf
  Has anyone else experienced this during their sendmail upgrade?


 Does the file /usr/share/mk/bsd.own.mk exist?

 If yes, does it contain a definition of SHAREMODE?

   % grep SHAREMODE /usr/share/mk/bsd.own.mk
   # SHAREMODE ASCII text file mode. [${NOBINMODE}]
   SHAREMODE?= ${NOBINMODE}

It certainly does. The entry is laid out exactly as you have it above.
The Makefile appears to be a binary, for reasons unknown to me, but that
is besides the point. Can I just copy a new makefile over from a different
box, or am I headed in the wrong direction with this?

Tks.

post install issues (Network card)

2003-03-10 Thread R S

I've recently installed FBSD on a Sony VAIO laptop.  I
have a Kingston Network pc card installed.  The
install goes fine, but can someone tell me why:

1. during the network interfaces configuration the
pc card is noticed as ed1 instead of ed0?  Shouldnt it
be ed0. or does it matter?

2. after the install is complete, and the system
reboots back to a login prompt... in the login field I
get a pccard[50] ed1 device started.  Why does it do
that?  Why does that message come up before I even
login?

   
Please help me :(

 Hi Geeks, Girls and Guys,

 I am having a little problem setting up a debian client to derive login data from a

 The authentication works when I force a password in the /etc/passwd file on the 
 debian gnu/linux system. E.g.:
 +login_whatever:$1$blahblahblah:/bin/bash
 +::/bin/bash
 
 But, it does not work when the password has to be sourced from the nis server (viz. 
 a freebsd machine). I confirmed that both are communicating/operating on nis v2. And 
 moreover, the password on the freebsd server are stored in md5 too.
 
 So, I dont seem to understand what the problem may be.
 
 Any help will be great...:)

I think your Linux clients are looking for shadow.byname and shadow.byuid. I found 
this URL
while Googling for the same problem. After adding the shadow.byname and shadow.byuid 
lines
to my Makefile, the linux clients were able to log into the FreeBSD NIS server.

http://dbforums.com/t582766.html

Do pay special attention to hidden characters when editing the Makefile. If you're 
using
vi, you will want to use set list.

Can you 'kill -KILL' the process?  init should restart it if it dies by
any means, but if it's hung bad enough to ignore a -HUP, you may have
to be more forceful.
I'm not sure if this will leave the modem hung ... but it shouldn't.
No, 'kill -KILL' does nothing.

solo como pregunta, despues del mensaje que sale:

-
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
WARNING: / was not properly dismounted
-

Estas seguro de que no sale nada mas?, por lo general cuando aparece este 
problema FreeBSD automaticamente empieza a hacer un chequeo interno que 
dependiendo del disco duro puede tomar varios minutos!, se ejecuta el programa 
fsck y empieza a corregir los errores que va encontrando, repito esto puede 
tomar varios minutos en un disco duro grande, hata mas de 15 minutos en varios 
casos graves.

No indicas que tipo de servidor tienes (Penitum II, Pentium III, Pentium IV, 
cuanta RAM 256 MB 512 MB 1 GB o mas, tampoco indicas el tamaño de tu disco duro 
si es IDE o SCSI, en discos de 20 GB o mas puede tardar un poco el proceso 
automatico de correccion del sistema.
 
Espero que puedas proporcionar esta información, asi como cual versoin de 
FreeBSD estas usando, 4.0, 4.1, 4.5 o la ultimo 4.7 o la nueva experimental 
5.0, espero que puedas darnos mas datos de tu problema, otra solucion que te

No, you can dump while in multiuser mode, but you have to beware of
corruption in the dump caused by changes to the file system or even to
individual files while dump is running.  So long as the filesystem is
pretty much quiescent, you'll be OK.
 
 If single, do I have to follow the next steps: ??
 # boot -s
 # fsck -p
 # mount -u /
 # mount -a
 # swapon -a
 # adjkerntz -i

Hmmm... You don't need 'mount -u /' if you then immediately do 'mount
-a' as 'mount -a' will remount the root filesystem with the correct
options anyhow.  I'd put 'swapon -a' before 'mount -a', especially if
you've got mfs based filesystems.  'adjkerntz' should only be needed
on dual boot machines where the alternate OS needs the system clock to
be set to the wallclock time.  If your machine just runs FreeBSD, then
set the system clock to UTC and relax.

 If not, what are IS the right procedure?

boot -s
fsck -p
swapon -a

Sorry, the output is 'Binary files differ'. The /etc/mail Makefile is

The copy of the new Makefile did not work, It states that it 'Do not know
how to make freebsd.submit.cf'. By driving through mergemaster, I can see
that I will destroy what is working of sendmail :o)

Is there any reason that I can't stay with the old config files? I can't
afford to break sendmail at this time. If it is not a security risk to
remain with old config files against the newest binary, I will just leave
it sit for now until I can dig up more info.

You should really run mergemaster and let it merge all the necessary
changes to /etc though.  Not just the password file.

I will play with this on a test box, but not on production. Looks like it

successful results.

 Sorry, the output is 'Binary files differ'. The /etc/mail Makefile is

 Is there any reason that I can't stay with the old config files? I can't
 afford to break sendmail at this time. If it is not a security risk to
 remain with old config files against the newest binary, I will just leave
 it sit for now until I can dig up more info.

It depends on what the old version of Sendmail was.  What do you get
when you telnet to port 25?

Fine with me.  I don't know what those diffs you're talking about are,

the best path to take.

Building KDE3 from ports in 5.0 fails on libmng

2003-03-10 Thread RexFelis

Hello, all:

I am not terribly familiar with FreeBSD, but I am
learning by getting my hands dirty.  To that end,
I have installed and updated via CVSup, kernel,
system and ports. (5.0-R to 5.0-R p4)

Shortly after that, X started crashing and
dumping me at the command prompt, and then KDE
began having difficulties which caused it to fail
starting programs and interprocess communications
failed as well.

Sensing an opportunity for more experience, I
performed a 'pkg_delete -a' and then a 'make
install for Xfree86-4.  Eight hours later, when
that was finished, I did a 'make install' for
KDE3 as well.

This has failed.  the script I have recorded
reveals that libmng is what is causing the
failure.  However, there are many error messages,
and I cannot figure out how to transport the
script from FreeBSD to Windows, Linux or a floppy
disk to include in this request for help.

The system I am using is a modified eMachine
running a Cyrix 6x86-266 MHz processor with the
original motherboard.  The RAM has been increased
to 192 megs, and the hard disk is 40 gigs, with a
total of 5 gigs being allocated automatically for
FreeBSD.  TOP revealed that only a bit over 1.6
megs of swap had been used out of a gigabyte of
it.

I have been having a good time learning about
FreeBSD this way, but now I am utterly lost, and
I don't have a GUI anymore with which to seek
help from within FreeBSD.  What do I do from
here?  All help is appreciated.  :)

Thanks,

Shannon

How Do I Specify -DIPFW2 In make.conf?

2003-03-10 Thread Drew Tomlinson

I would like to enable IPFW2 support in 4.7-STABLE.  The Handbook
(http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.7R/relnotes-i386.html#AEN78) tells me to
add 'options IPFW2' to the kernel config file and I understand that.

Then it tells me to compile libalias and ipfw with the -DIPFW2 make option.
If I understand the purpose of /etc/make.conf correctly, I should be able to
specify -DIPFW2 there?  How do I accomplish this?

I'm sure this has been covered previously but my searches on Google are not
turning it up.  Thanks for a nudge to the appropriate docs!

 My hexaddresses differ and also I have irq 3 instead
 of irq 11.
 But probably this is machine-dependent.

Yeah, it will be different.  You may want to check
your BIOS to be sure it's on the right irq, and not
sitting with a com port(irq 3 is com2 by default),
maybe disabling com2 might help too. (not sure if that
will help, but it can't hurt)

 It is weird that my i810 accepts only color depth =

 in the lowest resolution (640x480) which works ok.
 This cannot
 possibly be dependent on the monitor I use.

I'm sorry, I forgot the Screen section to the

It's not, for the most part,  color depth is driven
the XF86Config,(afaik, that's it, unless your monitor
can't handle the H and V synch rates, make sure you
check on that, as I'm not sure),  make sure you've
read this chapter of the handbook,
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html
as well as, 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html

Yes, of course.

 Here I am not sure what you mean. I tried to find a
 command that
 displays kernel options but did not succeed.
 Could you explain?

These are kernel options, LDT  #allow user-level
control of i386 ldt (which is needed for X afaik) and 
agp # AGP GART support is i810 extention, afaik).  
If you haven't compiled a kernel with those options, 
I think LDT is in GENERIC,(or loaded the agp.ko
module)  you're going to have to.

 Well, being a qualified programmer does not make you

I'm sure it helps. :)

Hot-Swapable Drives and FreeBSD

2003-03-10 Thread Martin McCormick

Is there a safe way short of rebooting to let FreeBSD
know that a hot-pluggable drive has been added?

I recently added one to a FreeBSD4.7 system.  When the
connector made contact, a console message that Channel A had just
reset popped up so the hardware knew it was there.  The system
continued to work properly as expected, but it only knew about
/dev/da0.

As soon as I rebooted, it then knew about both drives.

I wanted to add a new drive to a running system and keep
the reboots down to a minimum.  Thank you.

Linksys WMP11, ca. 2003.

2003-03-10 Thread Aaron Benner

I'm trying to coerce a new Linksys WMP11 802.11b card into working on a 
FreeBSD install of 4.7-RELEASE.   In looking through the freebsd-mobile 
lists I've seen some discussion on this (from around this time last 
year), but all of the resources included in that discussion 
(particularly the patches to the wi driver) are out of sync with the 
kernel sources I've got.  I just cvsup'd 4.x-STABLE and -current and 
didn't manage to find either the vendor ID or device ID reported in 
dmesg in the driver code there.  I was wondering if anyone out there 
could give me an update on support for this wireless card?  The posts 
from freebsd-mobile 
(http://www.riverside.org/archive/html/freebsd-mobile/2002-02/msg00038.html) 
that were most promising mentioned commiting the patches to -current, 
but I don't see any evidence of that in my kernel sources.

To top off my confusion when I boot I'm getting different dev/vendor 
id's from the card than are mentioned in the post referenced above.

Here's my dmesg output:

pcib0: Intel 82845 Host to PCI bridge on motherboard
pci0: PCI bus on pcib0
pcib1: Intel 82845 PCI-PCI (AGP) bridge at device 1.0 on pci0
pci1: PCI bus on pcib1
pci1: NVidia Riva Ultra Vanta TNT2 graphics accelerator at 0.0 irq 11
pcib2: Intel 82801BA/BAM (ICH2) Hub to PCI bridge at device 30.0 on pci0
pci3: PCI bus on pcib2
pci3: unknown card (vendor=0x14e4, dev=0x4301) at 2.0 irq 11
xl0: 3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL port 0xac00-0xac7f mem 
0xdfefdf80-0xdfefdfff irq 10
at device 5.0 on pci3
xl0: Ethernet address: 00:01:03:de:12:db
miibus0: MII bus on xl0
ukphy0: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface on miibus0
ukphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

The linksys WMP11 is listed as pci3.  Note that the vendor/dev ids are 
different from those listed in the patch posted by Thomas Skibo 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to freebsd-mobile (as referenced above) which shows 
the device as:

+ {0x1260, 0x3873, WI_BUS_PCI_NATIVE, Linksys WMP11 PCI Prism2.5},

So, the qeustion is, can I make this (actually these 10) cards work with 
FreeBSD?  Any help or pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.

I also tried taking the domain name out.

Sounds like that's the problem. It's awfully hard for the dhcp server to 
update dns if the dns server isn't running.

Reaching FTP on internal network behind NAT/router FreeBSD 4.7

2003-03-10 Thread Sanne Taaij

I run FreeBSD 4.7

My goal is to connect from the internet to my FTP which is running on my 
internal network at internal ip:. So I figured to use port redirection 
on my FreeBSD NAT/router.Which consists of 2 nic, rl0 public ip and rl1 
internal ip.

--
/etc/rc.conf
defaultrouter=public ip adress
firewall_type=open
natd_flags=-s -u -m redirect_port tcp internal ip:  redirect_port 
udp internal ip: 
--

Is this enough to let it work ?  I can't connect with an ftp client from one 
of the internal ip adresses to my public adress. The firewall is configured 
open.

Should I add a rule like this:

---
/etc/rc.firewall
$fwcmd add pass tcp from any  to any 
$fwcmd add pass udp from any  to any 
---

to let it work? Maybe add a keep-state rule...?

My Laptop (Sotec look-a-like) Experience.

2003-03-10 Thread William E Reid

(I blame) sis630 and lack of APM (AMI BIOS r1.07)

I have had real problems with this thing. No APM incorrect signature
(0x0) in dmesg.
Under 4.7/8 I can't get pcmcia working. USB will not reset. Actually
there are many problems since It does not know it has been asleep I
guess.
The disk controller under 4.7 says there is a bad cable (or non-ATA66
cable) so it does not enable Ultra DMA. Instead it falls back to
33mhz. I have read other lists stating that the sis5591 ata controller
is new but backwards compatible (not) with the 5591.

Under 5.0 the only way to make it boot is to disable ACPI all together.
Otherwise while the disks are being probed it locks up. So I have never
had fun with this thing. Sis630 chipset.
pcmcia (02micro 6912 PCI-Cardbus Bridge) stuff seems to work a lot
better under 5.0. It does not work under 4.8-stable. I have not tested
the usb under 5.0 but under 4.8-stable it will work for a little while
and then stop. You have to reboot to get it back. I caught one panic
in dmesg but it was probably my program. It talks to some sockets and
the network basically. gpsd (GPS Daemon) does a terrible job listening
to ucom0. I am using uplcom/ucom for serial communications. I have to
run at 4800 baud. I am not sure it is supported by either the device or
the driver but it works for a while.

Has anyone else had luck with this machine? I actually got a hardened
version of it with 40gb disk (5400rpm), fire wire and integrated
802.11b. But not worth the 1300 payed so far. Is there anyone out
there that can help me out. I am a little stupid.

Things seems a little more hopeful on the linux front. But man I have
written some crappie mapping coordinate grabber that depends on bpf.

If this link works. Here it is.

So I was thinking about getting this instead. But I am of course
worried about the sis650 chipset now. My boss is trying to convert me
to using Debian and I just don't want it. Any thoughts on the following
hardware or is it a total crap shoot? I have looked at the Hardware
pages and cant find the sis650.

2003-03-10 Thread Dave [Hawk-Systems]

Been browsing for a bit (knowing I will get some rtfm responses from this) but
havnt come across a solid answer for this.  Most solutions involve NAT or some
other non-routable ip block type of solution.

Have the following (192.168.100.0/24 used in place of routable addresses)

- Internet connection coming into port 1 of Cisco switch(switch address
192.168.100.1).
- Other FreeBSD servers(192.168.100.2 - 192.168.100.252) connected to various
ports on the switch using the switch as the gateway device.
- Other networks(192.168.101.0/24 etc...) connected to the switch which is
bridging them over to the internet connection out of port 1.

Wish to place a FreeBSD server in front of the switch to count traffic to and
from various IP addresses for the entire network.

NIC1 on the FreeBSD box would go to the Internet Connection
NIC2 on the FreeBSD box would go to the switch.

All addresses used are routable(3 /24 blocks will be coming down to NIC1), and
all addresses/packets should be passed through without any NAT or other
readdressing taking place. Aside from telnetting into the box itself, it doesn't
need any IP addresses except for whatever is needed for the above setup.

Comments appreciated, this would be my first implementation of ipfw / fw rules
in general using a FreeBSD box.

Enabling APM in Freebsd 4.7

2003-03-10 Thread Mica Telodico

Hi, 

I've installed FreeBSD 4.7 and I'd like to get enabled
the APM support. I know that I can enable it by
compile it in the kernel, but I've read about another
system that consist in the writing of a line in the
/boot/loader.conf (enable apm0) but  at start the
loader says that there is a syntax error : enable apm0
   
^

Why? How I can enable it without recompiling the
kernel?

I've noticed also that in the GENERIC kernel config 
there is a disable flag in the line of the APM
device, I have to delete that to enable the APM
support?The line looks like this one:

device apm0 nexus? disable Flag 0x20

I've changed it into :

device apm0 nexus? Flag 0x20

is this right?

Thanks

Strange crash, possibly vinum-related

2003-03-10 Thread Scott Mitchell

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone out there can shed any light on this:

A drive failed on one of our Vinum-powered RAID-5 arrays over the weekend.
This morning, we swapped out the offending drive (hot-swappable SCSI
hardware), disklabel-ed it and restarted the offending subdisk.  Everything
seemed fine at this point, with vinum happily reviving the stale subdisk.

However, twenty minutes later, with the revive 29% complete, I got this in
/var/log/messages:

Mar 10 11:39:50 kokako vinum[12708]: can't revive raid.p0.s0: Invalid argument

'vinum list' was also showing an error message, which I foolishly didn't
capture, something along the lines of 'the revive process died'.  Lacking
any better ideas, I started the subdisk again.  The revival seemed to pick
up where it left off.

Half an hour later, the box rebooted :-(  I wasn't actually watching it at
the time, so I don't know if it finished reviving the subdisk or not.
There's no indication in the logs as to what happened, but the timing of
the reboot is consistent with it happening around the time the subdisk
would have come back to life.

Once the box came back up, I restarted the subdisk yet again (I had to
create the drive again first), with the RAID volume unmounted.  This time
the process finished without complaints and things seem to be working as
well as ever since then.

Any ideas as to why it might have just spontaneously rebooted?  I'm naively
assuming vinum is somehow involved, since the machine has always been
extremely stable, and this is the first disk failure we've had on it.  It's
just as likely to be my own stupid fault though -- it occurred to me later
that I should probably have done a 'camcontrol rescan' after swapping the
drive.  Nothing complained, but maybe I just got lucky because it was an
identical drive?  Also, one of my colleagues was hammering the volume
pretty hard while the revive was going on, copying a large number of
smallish files onto it - maybe the load triggered some bad behaviour?

Thanks in advance,

Scott

SMTP-AUTH + SSL - Possible?

2003-03-10 Thread Steve Warwick

Hi All, 

I am looking at ways to provide my clients with more convenience. One of
those ways is to be able to send and receive email via my server. However, I
know this can be a huge security hole and not one I would like to open.

I feel that SMTP-AUTH without SSL is probably not that secure so --

1. Is SMTP-AUTH a pain in the butt to set up?
   [yes I have read the handbook but I want to make sure]

2. Does SMTP over SSL use a standard SSL cert and is that
   relatively easy to set up?

3. Has anyone managed to use a chained SSL cert for SMTP over SSL
   (yes, I'm cheap :)


All suggestions, URLs and docs gratefully received,

TIA


Steve

You should modify /boot/kernel.conf to look like this:

Then in your /boot/loader.conf make sure you have this:

Yes, if your recompile your kernel now, apm should be enabled by
default.

Please forgive the obvious, but do you also have

 I can't connect with an ftp client from one 
 of the internal ip adresses to my public adress.

That will not work.  From the internal net, you will need to ftp to internal 
ip: directly.  NAT processes only those packets which travel via the 
external interface of your NAT/firewall box.  To test the NAT and firewall 
rules, you will have to test from a machine outside your firewall.  If you 
have access to a dial-up account, that will suffice, or perhaps you can ssh 
to a shell account on another machine, and then try to ftp back to your
public IP.

I would suggest you test first from the internal LAN to ensure that you can 
ftp on port  to the internal IP of your ftp server.  This will show
you whether the ftp server itself is working as you think it should.  Once 
you know the ftp works on the internal LAN, then you can test from a machine 
_outside the firewall_ to get the natd redirection happening.

Replicating a Production Machine for Testing

2003-03-10 Thread FreeBSD Questions Account

Hi Everyone,
I'm in a bit of a situation.  I have a production system that is to remain
up, it acts as a web server for several virtual domains, and has a web
based interface written in perl which integrates among other things Apache
with many modules, qMail (mySQL Powered), and BIND DNS.  The versions of
Apache and PHP are getting a little out of date so I would like to make a
replicated version of the server here in order to test out upgrading the
system to make sure I don't run in to a hitch on the production system.  I
have the list of ports installed in /var/db/pkg, but I don't think just
installing them would provide a real replication of the system, is there
any way I can just put the system files ( without the hosted sites for
space sake ) in a tarball and replicate the installation?

Is there anyone that might be able to fill me in on the best process I
should use to get a perfectly (or close enough) replication of the
production system? Thanks!

Oh, that explains it! I just switched from a 3Com card to an Intel card that is fxp0. 
It was the first time I really paid attention to my dmesg since I built world with 
4.8-prerealease and thought that might have something to do with it.

Vinum root file systems (was: Difference between Vinum and atacontrol RAID?)

You can have a Vinum root file system as long as at least one plex is
concatenated from a single subdisk.

 I'm familar with something called encapsulating the root partition
 under Solaris and Veritas; it's not for the faint-of-heart.  :-)

I suspect this is the same thing.

From: Aaron Benner [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 2:54 PM
Subject: Linksys WMP11, ca. 2003.

 I'm trying to coerce a new Linksys WMP11 802.11b card into working on a
 FreeBSD install of 4.7-RELEASE.   In looking through the freebsd-mobile
 lists I've seen some discussion on this (from around this time last
 year), but all of the resources included in that discussion
 (particularly the patches to the wi driver) are out of sync with the
 kernel sources I've got.  I just cvsup'd 4.x-STABLE and -current and
 didn't manage to find either the vendor ID or device ID reported in
 dmesg in the driver code there.  I was wondering if anyone out there
 could give me an update on support for this wireless card?  The posts
 from freebsd-mobile

(http://www.riverside.org/archive/html/freebsd-mobile/2002-02/msg00038.html)
 that were most promising mentioned commiting the patches to -current,
 but I don't see any evidence of that in my kernel sources.

 To top off my confusion when I boot I'm getting different dev/vendor
 id's from the card than are mentioned in the post referenced above.

 Here's my dmesg output:

 pcib0: Intel 82845 Host to PCI bridge on motherboard
 pci0: PCI bus on pcib0
 pcib1: Intel 82845 PCI-PCI (AGP) bridge at device 1.0 on pci0
 pci1: PCI bus on pcib1
 pci1: NVidia Riva Ultra Vanta TNT2 graphics accelerator at 0.0 irq 11
 pcib2: Intel 82801BA/BAM (ICH2) Hub to PCI bridge at device 30.0 on pci0
 pci3: PCI bus on pcib2
 pci3: unknown card (vendor=0x14e4, dev=0x4301) at 2.0 irq 11
 xl0: 3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL port 0xac00-0xac7f mem
 0xdfefdf80-0xdfefdfff irq 10
 at device 5.0 on pci3
 xl0: Ethernet address: 00:01:03:de:12:db
 miibus0: MII bus on xl0
 ukphy0: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface on miibus0
 ukphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

 The linksys WMP11 is listed as pci3.  Note that the vendor/dev ids are
 different from those listed in the patch posted by Thomas Skibo
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] to freebsd-mobile (as referenced above) which shows
 the device as:

 + {0x1260, 0x3873, WI_BUS_PCI_NATIVE, Linksys WMP11 PCI Prism2.5},

 So, the qeustion is, can I make this (actually these 10) cards work with
 FreeBSD?  Any help or pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.

 --Aaron

Looking up your PCI IDs (http://www.yourvote.com/pci), I see that the
unknown device on pci3 is really a Broadcom IEEE 802.11b WLAN client
chipset.

Not sure which device driver should be extended to support this chipset.

difficulties with BIND going from 8.* to 9.*

2003-03-10 Thread Michael Sharp

I decided today it was time to install bind9 from ports and I am have
having some issues I need help with.  Under 8.* I started BIND with the -u
bind -g bind flags and a sockstat -4 showed named running as user bind.
However, in 9.* I understand the -u bind flag is enough, but the server
fails to start since it can open /var/run/named.pid. If I simply run the
server with no -u flag, the server starts fine ( except denote below ).
Although BIND is running in a jail() by itself, I'd still like for the
server to run non-root.

Also, I am getting these two warning in /var/log/messages even though the
server runs and answers queries:

1. Mar 10 20:32:13 darken named[796]: couldn't add command channel
127.0.0.1#953: not found

2. Mar 10 20:32:13 darken named[796]: dns_master_load:

It is also important to note that I am using the same named.conf  and zone

Fetchmail question

2003-03-10 Thread Dragoncrest

	Hi all.  Got a question about fetchmail again.  This one should be 
easy.  I'm looking for the easiest way to get fetchmail to purge a mailbox 
for me.  Here's what I'm after.  First off, when my mail downloads, fetch 
has been told (via a config I have in sendmail) to leave mail on the server 
if the user has an invalid domain name.  IE. From viruses, spam, etc.  What 
I want it to do is to try to download all of the messages on the server, 
then, regardless if they succeed or fail, I want fetchmail to just nuke 
them off the server.  Currently it only nukes mail that has been 
successfully delivered to the local computer.  I want it to dump all of 
them so that it doesn't end up leaving all the rejected mail messages to 
pile up on the server, yet at the same time I don't want it to wipe all of 
the messages till it's tried to download each message at least 
once.  Anyone got any good suggestions on how to setup fetch to do this?

On Sun, 09 Mar 2003, Chuck Swiger wrote:

 The ATA RAID support via atacontrol apparently requires hardware RAID
 controllers like the Promise or Highpoint devices.  

I don't think this is right.  The RAID-1 volume I'm using right now is
with two drives attached to a non-RAID card with a Promise chipset.  I
also get the impression -- though can't test it right now -- that the
atacrontrol-based RAID will work across cards.  Anyone know for sure
about this?

 Hardware based RAID is likely to be faster, particularly in the case
 of parity calculations for RAID-5.  (Not that many IDE controllers can
 do RAID-5, but...)

It would be, but the RAID on the Promise and Highpoint devices is not
true hardware RAID.  It's just software RAID with the drivers moved over
to an EPROM on the card.  I know from my own experience and that of
other people that the Linux software RAID outperforms the hardware
RAID of these devices.  I'm willing to bet that the FreeBSD RAID at
least comes close, if not betters the Linux performance.

suid shell script

2003-03-10 Thread Paul Lathrop

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
I must admit I feel silly having to ask, but I've been banging my head 
against this for a couple days now and I am completely stumped.

I just recently switched from Slackware Linux 8.0 to FreeBSD. There are 
a couple of scripts I use for my own convenience that I ran setuid root 
on my Linux box. All that I had to do was make sure the scripts were 
owned by root, and then do a chmod 4711 on them to make it work in 
Linux. I just set up a script on FreeBSD - the first time I've actually 
done it since I switched. I followed the same procedure, but when I run 
the script as a normal user, it does not run with elevated priveleges.

I've scoured the web for info on this but all I have been able to find 
references to are difficulties with Perl scripts. I don't know Perl 
(yet). I took all the extraneous stuff out of my script and boiled it 
down to three simple commands that I know work - just to make sure my 
program logic wasn't the problem.

Here it is:

#!/bin/tcsh

mkdir $3
chown -R $1 $3
chgrp -R $2 $3
chmod -R 771 $3
So now it's down to a proof-of-concept script. If I can make this work 
with the elevated privileges, I can move on to the real script. Can 
anyone out there help me understand what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Paul D. Lathrop

SSH to a box behind NAT


Hi all,

I have a FreeBSD server behind NAT (on an RFC1918 address). The NAT
machine is actually an NT box on a network we don't have access to.
(So, it is not possible, for instance, to set up port based NAT for
inbound SSH, which is one of two things I'd normally do). The server
can, however, initiate arbitrary outbound connections.

So, I'm fishing for a tech workaround to this management problem. :-)

I need to be able to have an interactive SSH session on the server
(Server) from another host (Manager) on the Internet (for remote
management). That is, I need to connect to Server to do remote
management.

   --- NAT ---
[ Server ] --- [ NT Gateway ] --- { Internet } --- [ Manager ]
192.168.0.2192.168.0.1 207.1.1.1
 24.1.1.1

Manager is a highly available FreeBSD server (i.e., static public IP).

The first thing that comes to mind is some kind of pull technique to
have *Server* initiate the connection. Server already initiates cron'd
SSH connections to Manager to do automated backup/rsync tasks, but I
can't think of a way to actually start an interactive login in that
manner.

So far the best I've come up with is to configure a secure known path
on Manager for batch scripts (so, not really interactive, but close
enough for 90% of tasks) and have Server simply attempt to scp (pull)
the file at regular intervals, and execute its contents. Server can
capture the output and scp (push) that back to Manager. Manager never
actually initiates anything. Obviously, this will be a leading cause
of ass pain in troubleshooting scenarios, and will be a *real* pain
for anything that actually requires an interactive session.

Unfortunately, that idea has, so far, been the *last* thing to come to
mind. Any *other* ideas? :-)

Thanks,
- Ryan

From /usr/ports/security/sudo/pkg-descr:

  Sudo is a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root
  privileges to users and log root activity.  The basic philosophy is
  to give as few privileges as possible but still allow people to get
  their work done.

Sudo allows you to micro-manage as much as you like, so you can
assign specific privileges to specific users, without the need to hand
out root passwords. I can't imagine life without it. It's also easy to
set up.

:-) I'll second that. I'm just shuddering at the thought a production
server somewhere with a whole platoon of 10- or 20-line quickly hacked
and poorly maintained C programs, all suid root. Not saying that shell
scripts can't be quickly hacked or poorly maintained either, but at
least their correctness is typically a little easier to verify, and
you don't normally have to worry about unfortunate things like buffer

I'd also like to remind the original poster about the security risks
associated with suid binaries. There are many subtle ways in which
suid binaries can bite one in the ass... especially where other local

Re: SSH to a box behind NAT

 Hi all,
 
 I have a FreeBSD server behind NAT (on an RFC1918 address). The NAT
 machine is actually an NT box on a network we don't have access to.
 (So, it is not possible, for instance, to set up port based NAT for
 inbound SSH, which is one of two things I'd normally do). The server
 can, however, initiate arbitrary outbound connections.
 
 So, I'm fishing for a tech workaround to this management problem. :-)
 
 I need to be able to have an interactive SSH session on the server
 (Server) from another host (Manager) on the Internet (for remote
 management). That is, I need to connect to Server to do remote
 management.
 
--- NAT ---
 [ Server ] --- [ NT Gateway ] --- { Internet } --- [ Manager ]
 192.168.0.2192.168.0.1 207.1.1.1
  24.1.1.1
 
 Manager is a highly available FreeBSD server (i.e., static public IP).
 
 The first thing that comes to mind is some kind of pull technique to
 have *Server* initiate the connection. Server already initiates cron'd
 SSH connections to Manager to do automated backup/rsync tasks, but I
 can't think of a way to actually start an interactive login in that
 manner.
 
 So far the best I've come up with is to configure a secure known path
 on Manager for batch scripts (so, not really interactive, but close
 enough for 90% of tasks) and have Server simply attempt to scp (pull)
 the file at regular intervals, and execute its contents. Server can
 capture the output and scp (push) that back to Manager. Manager never
 actually initiates anything. Obviously, this will be a leading cause
 of ass pain in troubleshooting scenarios, and will be a *real* pain
 for anything that actually requires an interactive session.
 
 Unfortunately, that idea has, so far, been the *last* thing to come to
 mind. Any *other* ideas? :-)
 
 Thanks,
 - Ryan

Could you have Server start an xterm, or similar, and have it send the
display to Manager - with something like 'xterm -display Manager:0' from
Server?  This is assuming that you are running X on Manager.

Just mind your security...
:-) I'll second that. I'm just shuddering at the thought a production
server somewhere with a whole platoon of 10- or 20-line quickly hacked
and poorly maintained C programs, all suid root. Not saying that shell
scripts can't be quickly hacked or poorly maintained either, but at
least their correctness is typically a little easier to verify, and
you don't normally have to worry about unfortunate things like buffer
overflows.
I'd also like to remind the original poster about the security risks
associated with suid binaries. There are many subtle ways in which
suid binaries can bite one in the ass... especially where other local
users are present.
Is just learning Perl an option here? Perl scripts aren't binaries - to 
my understanding at least. Will they also be denied by the OS? If Perl 
will solve the problem, I'll just learn it sooner than I had planned :-)

Thanks for all your help!
