best choice FTP Server

2003-06-05 Thread admin


Hope this make sense.

Looking for the best way for people to manage their websites.  Well I am
hosting a bunch of virtually hosted websites based on hostname (single IP
machine).  I am needing to set up many ftponly accounts (no shell access)
which will drop users into the proper directory depending on which username is
in use.  Is there a way to do host based ftp? I also want to lockout users
from logging into the ftp site who have shell acounts but do not need access
to update their websites via ftp.  what is the best software alternative out
there for me?

Pure-FTP can do all this - it's in the ports.

 That solved the identical problem for me: XF86 upgrade, any keypress
 results in resolution change.  Thanks!

yeah, I had a similar problem: portupgraded XFree86-4 over the

all (IOW, no mode switching either). reinstalling the

sendmail, making new mc, error

2003-06-05 Thread Aslak Evang
I get this error when running the helpscript make install from /etc/mail:

([EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/mail) make install
install -c -m  deathpolka.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
install: invalid file mode: deathpolka.cf
*** Error code 64
Stop in /etc/mail.

The only info I found doing a search on google groups was one from about 
a year ago with an identical error. The person posting wrote that it 
looked like SHAREMODE was no longer defined, the reply stating that the 
 problem had been fixed and that he should cvsup again.

Could the make install be broken again?

Look for proftpd (www.proftpd.org) - it's very configurable.

killing sendmail, using exim

2003-06-05 Thread Robert Storey
Sendmail is the default MTA, but I have Exim installed and now would like that to be 
my mail server. I'd like to be able to kill Sendmail startup permanently, and have 
Exim start at boot time, but I'm not sure how to do this.

I did make an attempt. I edited /etc/rc.conf thus:

  sendmail_enable=NO

and added a line saying

  exim_enable=YES

This does not seem to have worked, as the ps command still reports the presence of 
Sendmail but nothing about Exim. I've checked to make sure Exim is installed:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ which exim
  /usr/local/sbin/exim

I did a grep though the BSD FAQ and the handbook - both had only one sentence 
mentioning Exim, saying nothing other than it exists. FreeBSD Unleashed wasn't much 
more enlightening, so any advice will be appreciated.

TIA,
regards,
Robert

Does these suggest the chip in this particular card has somehow missed out

Since the first card seems to work OK  can I assume that the line:

is of little consequence?

No such thing in rc.conf.  Instead, make sure the exim start script in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d is named correctly (should be exim.sh - if it ends in
anything other than .sh, rc will ignore it), and that it is executable by
root.

You will also need to tweak /usr/local/etc/exim/configure to meet your
specific requirements.

 
 This does not seem to have worked, as the ps command still reports the presence of

Make sure you kill sendmail before starting exim:

 # killall sendmail
 # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim.sh start

And you should be set.  You shouldn't need to restart the machine, but the
startup script will start exim for you when you do reboot.

I guess due to the large number of available MTA's, it's not practical to
include docs that cover all of them - or people haven't yet written them...

Multiplicity of dmesg in 4.8

2003-06-05 Thread Malcolm Kay
To day I install FreeBSD release 4.8 on a machine form the first time.

This is on a new machine so it could easily have as yet undetected
hardware faults.

I observe the 'dmesg' gives start up information not only for the latest 
boot but also information generated in a number of previous boots.

I've not seen this with earlier FreeBSD realeases including 4.7.

Is it normal for FreeBSD 4.8 or should I be looking for hardware problems?

I notice some change in that the files /var/log/dmesg.{today,yesterday} do
not seem to be produced.

Any help welcome,

Malcolm Kay

 Are there any opinions out there regarding the question how far this
 concerns FreeBSD 4-STABLE?

The example program given at the above URL always gives the expected
result when I tried it with FreeBSD 4-STABLE so the bug probably does
not exist in gcc 2.95.x which FreeBSD 4.x uses.

My opinion is that it does not seem to concern FreeBSD 4-STABLE at all.
FreeBSD 5.x might be another question though, since that uses a newer
version of gcc which might exhibit the bug.

Re: NFS Problems...

2003-06-05 Thread supote
 There shouldn't BE a /home2 on HTTPD but I figured out what
 happened. I
 copied /etc/group /etc/passwd /etc/pwd.db 
 and /etc/master.passwd from NFSD
 to HTTPD to sync users and passwords and forgot to edit the 
 home dir with
 vipw. I just did a global search and replace of /home2 to /home 
 and
 rebuilt the pwd.db and it mounted fine and apache now 
 serves public_html
 from the users shells.

 However, on reboot it doesn't mount from /etc/fstab, I have to 
mount it
 manually for some reason. So now I'm down to the one NFS 
problem.

 on NFSD: (/etc/exports)
 /home2   -maproot=0 -alldirs httpd

 on HTTPD: (/etc/fstab)
 NFSD:/home2  /home   nfs rw,bg   0   0

 manually mounting works
 mount NFSD:/home2 /home

 Works fine until I reboot. Shouldn't it mount by itself like it used 
to?
 What am I missing now? Why doesn't HTTPD mount
 NFSD:/home2 on /home when
 it reboots?

 TIA

Hi,
   In your fstab, what is the bg purpose ? I never seen this option
before. Make sure such option is usable.

Help needed with Cyclades-16Ze (multi-port serial card) on FreeBSD4.4-RELEASE-p36

2003-06-05 Thread David C. Snyder
Hello,

I have a Cyclades-16Ze connected to a FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE-p36 system
(according to the Cyclades FAQ, as of May 16th, 2003, FreeBSD 4.4 is
the latest version that Cyclades supports and there are plans to
support higher versions).  My intent is to connect a bunch of dumb
terminals at 38400 bps and use this system for a series of UNIX/Perl
training classes.

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble verifying basic operation of the
Cyclades using the provided DCE cable and loopback module.  I've typed
up as much information as I could below to describe what I'm seeing.
If you have had any luck getting a Cyclades Z-Series multi-port serial
board to work with FreeBSD, I'd love to hear about what you had to do
to get things working.

I have followed the FreeBSD installation instructions in cz-2.1.1 (the
driver provided by Cyclades), and according to dmesg(1), the Cyclades
cz0 driver appears to have loaded correctly:

   $ dmesg | grep '^cz'
   cz0: Cyclades Cyclom-Z Adapter port 0xdc00-0xdc7f mem 
0xff00-0xff0f,0xff100400-0xff10047f at device 14.0 on pci0
   cz0: Cyclades Ze Adapter. Driver Version 211. Firmware Version 334.
   cz0: 16 ports detected. Using INTERRUPT mode. Using BOARD RAM.
   cz0: driver is using old-style compatibility shims

When I run kermit-8.0.209_1, I can connect to /dev/cuaC01 (port #2)
and view the comm settings:

   # With Cyclades provided loopback connector removed:
   Communications Parameters:
Line: /dev/cuaC01, speed: 9600, mode: local, modem: generic

Carrier Detect  (CD):  On
Dataset Ready   (DSR): Off
Clear To Send   (CTS): On
Ring Indicator  (RI):  Off
Data Terminal Ready (DTR): On
Request To Send (RTS): On

Unfortunately, when I connect to the port with the loopback connector
attached and type, I get no response.  More than that, kermit seems to
hang (the 'CTRL-\' escape does not work) and I am forced to kill it
with a SIGHUP (killall -1 kermit).

If I add the appropriate line (cuaC01:dv=/dev/cuaC01:br#9600:pa=none:)
to /etc/remote, I can use tip(1) to connect to the port and
characters that I type are echoed back to me, but the last character
typed does not show up.  In this example, I've typed abc, but only ab
shows up:

   # tip cuaC01
   connected
   ab

So I have some concerns about basic functionally, but what I really
want to do is run a getty on all 16 ports and connect terminals up to
them.  I've tried adding lines to /etc/ttys that look like this (and
running 'init q' to start the gettys):

   ttyC00  /usr/libexec/getty std.9600   vt100   on  insecure
   ttyC01  /usr/libexec/getty std.9600   vt100   on  insecure

DMZ TEST HOST  [A.B.C.154/29]

I can ping all IPs from the firewall, the firewall from the test DMZ host,
and the public firewall IP from the world, but not the firewall DMZ
interface or the DMZ test host. All interfaces are up. The firewall is setup
as a gateway.

If I do a tcpdump on the public interface while pinging the test host from
the world I see:

08:33:08.160246 arp who-has A.B.C.154 tell A.B.C.145

netstat -rn says:

I think I should have 2 /29 networks with the firewall routing them, right?
Do I need to change the router config? Do I need to establish static routes?

Thanks for any pointers,

Hi Mark,


 I'm setting up a multihomed firewall box. I have all interfaces up and
 running but have something going wrong with routing.

do you have forwarding enabled on the firewall?

Check if:

sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding

shows:

net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1

A couple of questions for 5.1rc1....

2003-06-05 Thread chris corayer
I am trying to figure out how to fix an niggling dhcp issue and permanently
disable ACPI and enable apm on my HP Omnibook 900.

I'm running 5.1RC1, which is great since this is the first time I've managed
to get 5.x on this unit.  Even my xircom realport cards work.  However, I'm
having trouble figuring out exactly where to put the ACPI disable line as
this machine just crashes and reboots if I leave it enabled.  I think it
should go in loader.conf, but I'm unsure exactly on the syntax or if that's
where it belongs.  Also, I seem to remember that you could enable APM with
the generic kernel by inserting a line into loader.conf as well.

The final question I have is one that's probably obscure.  I remember a
switch used to tell the dhcp client to send the host name of the laptop to a
dhcp server.  While it gets a lease perfectly fine, opening up my linksys
dhcp table ( at home ) or the NT dhcp server at work I can only see that a
machine has that lease.  The name of the laptop isn't listed.  I had enabled
something on a laptop I had a couple of years ago that made it so the name
showed up, but I haven't been able to find anything on this since and I have
no idea how I did it before or even where I found it.

I think I'm missing some probably obvious things.  Can anyone at least point
me in the proper direction?

Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, is your sendmail compiled with the access option?
Does your sendmail.cf have any of the following lines (or similar):

#  $Id: access_db.m4,v 8.15 1999/07/22 17:55:34 gshapiro Exp $  #
...

# access_db acceptance class
C{Accept}OK RELAY
...

# Access list database (for spam stomping)
Kaccess hash -o /etc/mail/access

If not, then you're probably not compiled to use the access.db file.

Specifically, look for your .mc file and see if this entry is in there:

FEATURE(access_db, `hash -o -TTMPF /etc/mail/access')

If you're using the stock sendmail, if I remember correctly, access_db isn't
included by default. You can rebuild your sendmail.cf by adjusting the mc
file. A good one (in my opinion) is the generic-bsd4.4.mc.

By default, it has:

divert(0)dnl
VERSIONID(`$Id: generic-bsd4.4.mc,v 8.10 1999/02/07 07:26:02 gshapiro Exp
$')
OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl
DOMAIN(generic)dnl
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl

and doesn't include the access_db feature set.  Without this feature, the
access.db is ignored.

So, add:

FEATURE(access_db, `hash -o -TTMPF /etc/mail/access')

to it between the DOMAIN and MAILER entries and run make in that directory
and it will create a generic-bsd4.4.cf file. Just copy that to your
/etc/mail as sendmail.cf (backup your original first just in case) and it
should do what you're needing.

If you're using the stock sendmail in FreeBSD, the .mc's should be located
in /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/cf/

Hope it helps.

tweak the mc file when I need to change stuff but to be able to find ALL

sorry mc commands that will result in the sendmail.cf file I have now

Not off the top of my head, but you could compile the freebsd.mc file,

Fri Jun 06 01:16:00 2003 
Netwriting Masters 404
~~

Hi!  No absent checkmark by your name.  ;-)

Got your USP finished?  Super!  That means, in just 3 days,
you have accomplished the following...

o  figured out your Most Wanted Response (MWR)

o  developed your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)

o  built a detailed thumbnail sketch of your ideal customer

and you have...

o a good sense of the key parts of an effective sales site.

And *THAT* means that you know...

o  how to end your site (MWR)

o  how to start your site (USP)

o  what to add in between.

And you know to apply all this for your customer who is
firmly sketched in your mind.

Like anything else, preparation is 90% of any job.  And 
that goes double for Netwriting... 180%!

-

Let's continue...

Back on Day 1, I said that this course goes beyond writing
copy for your Web site.  It's for *all* of your online
communications ...

E-mails, newsletters, free offers, advertisements, contests,
theme-focused sites for PREselling (if you belong to an
affiliate program), online stores, etc., etc.

However, no matter which approach(es) you use to begin the
relationship, you can only cement it once you have grabbed
your reader's attention first, in a direct one-on-one
interaction.

For example, what good is creating an e-mail signature file
(sig file) based on your great USP, if the recipient deletes 
your message right away?

-SIDEBAR-
A sig file is a powerful and free advertisement.  With an
appealing signature file, every single person you
communicate with will read about your business.

Its job is to persuade your reader to click through to your
Web site.  Make it visible with just the right amount of
words that are subtle and persuasive.

MYWS! covers it all, right down to showing you how to
develop and use a sig file most effectively...

http://proven.sitesell.com/myws/
-SIDEBAR-

Joe Robson, a professional copywriter who co-authored Make
Your Words Sell! (MYWS!) describes the Net as a bustling
crowded street, full of a million shouting, honking, blaring
distractions.

Somehow, as a vendor, you have to find a way to flag your 
surfing visitor so that she will slow down long enough
to read what you are saying.

Notice that I wrote slow down not stop.  That's part two
of the Net challenge.

Once you catch her eye, your words have to increase
interest enough that the visitor stays to learn more info.  
At that point you take possession of the screen... 

... temporarily.  

So what type of flag do you need?  Something extravagant,
something noisy, something colorful, something cutting-edge?

No to all four.  That's just more of the same.

Pretend, for a second, you are on Joe's crowded street. 
What could I say that would make you turn around and stop?
Nothing, you think?

What if I said your name, just loud enough for you to hear?
Of course you'd turn around!  Why?

Because I just said something that was important to you!
Something that connected.

Your Opening Headline, pure and simple, *IS* that flag.  It
must open with the same attention-getting power as calling
your name on a crowded street.

Only one way to do that... with your USP.

Oh-oh.  Look sharp.  Here comes your ideal customer now,
hitting your site.  Look at her...

She doesn't automatically stop to read... she scans, looking
for relevance clues.  She quickly breezes your Opening
Headline -- if it does not click, her mouse does!...

CLICK!  G'bye!

If your Opening Headline does get her attention, a-h-h-h.
She'll slow down enough to read the Subheadings and your
Opening Paragraph.

And if there's enough there,  she'll continue on and read
the whole accompanying message... as long as *YOU* keep
delivering benefits that help her.

--

Whoops!  I got a bit ahead of myself.  Back to the Opening
Headline...

Your headline will grab eyeballs only if it has emotional
appeal and offers your #1 specific benefit.  No logic is
involved.

It has to answer this question in the reader's mind...

What's in it for me?

Date: Sat, 31 May 2003 11:58:23 -0700
Hello,
The 3rd edition of The Complete FreeBSD suggest repositioning the /var
directory ( and even /tmp) to prevent filling up that partition. I
ignored it and did just that today, filled it up. So I attempted the
repositioning with the following recommended command steps and results:
 cd /var
 tar cf - . | (cd /usr/var; tar xf - )
 cd /
 rm -rf /var
 ln -s /usr/var /var
However the  'rm -rf /var' returned

 rm: /var: Device busy

After trying all known tricks to me to remove /var, I concluded that
since it was mounted from the /etc/fstab I should dismount it and remove
the directory (link point ?) and create a soft link there as
recommended. However, on rebooting boot was aborted, was thrown into
single users mode. After some findangling eventually got the system back
up as before with the /var directory, except that now it contains only
the /var/cron and /var/run directories.
The original /var contained

 /var/account:
 /var/at:
 /var/backups:
 /var/crash:
 /var/cron:
 /var/db:
 /var/games:
 /var/log:
 /var/lost+found:

 /var/qmail:
 /var/run:
 /var/rwho:
 /var/smtpd:
 /var/spool:
 /var/tmp:
 /var/webmin:
 /var/yp:
How can I restore the full functioning structural integrity as before,
of course the contents of the /usr/var directory was wiped out somwhere
along the way, sans log, sans mail, sans everything. Just want to
continue as before.
Thanks.

Do you have something like

4.8 install

Hi,

Has anyone else reported problems when trying to install the 4.8-RELEASE
version booting from floppy disks and then installing via passive ftp ? I
tried it a number of time yesterday, each time the install returned 'write
errors' soon into the bin extract, and when I checked using 'df' on the
emergency shell, it had filled up the small memory disk rather than writing
to the real disks mounted under /mnt/...

I've now back-tracked and installed 4.7-RELEASE using the same mechanisms
on the same two machines and they work without any problems (as ever).

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ 1001:0  sysctl -a kern|grep files

I've cranked the kern.maxfiles value to 4096, and the backup has run to
completion again, but am I risking anything? I mean, the fd's cost
memory, is there any potential for problems?


I don't see any problems with raising to 4096 as 2024 looks awful low. Most
of mine run 12000+ and the lowest at about 8000. I do have more CPU and RAM
in the equation. What do you have the maxusers set to in your kernel? I
have found this will usually take care of making the correct calculations
for the max files. A setting of 0 is good for later versions of FBSD.
Don't remember what version changed this  you didn't mention your version.

Otherwise, you'll need to set the max files in your /boot/loader.conf so
they stay up at the 4096, or whatever workable level is good for you.

Just an warning though, the VIA Rhine-II NIC chipsett drivers on the
Epia for Fbsd is not quite perfect, or the rhine NIC onboard is not 
high quality. If it's put under som high load (full duplex 100 mbit)
you can get an nasty bug in Fbsd with the console msg

In fact, I'm reading the gnats database now to see if it has been

 Hi,
 
 Has anyone else reported problems when trying to install the 4.8-RELEASE
 version booting from floppy disks and then installing via passive ftp ? I
 tried it a number of time yesterday, each time the install returned 'write
 errors' soon into the bin extract, and when I checked using 'df' on the
 emergency shell, it had filled up the small memory disk rather than writing
 to the real disks mounted under /mnt/...

I've had similar problems to this in the past with various different
releases.  The only common factor in these failed installs has been that I
had to change settings (network, partitioning, labels, install options)
after starting the install.  And the only reliable way I have found to
correct it is to simply restart the install from scratch - it seems the
installer gets confused if you change any of its settings after the fact.

Not much help, I know, but at least you know someone else has had problems!

 I've now back-tracked and installed 4.7-RELEASE using the same mechanisms
 on the same two machines and they work without any problems (as ever).

 Mark Redding.

I've put it in sysctl.conf, works fine.

DocBook tex/pdf/ps output for different page sizes?

2003-06-05 Thread Farid Hajji
Hi,

[Please Cc me directly, I'm not on the mailing list. Thanks.]

how can I generate a pdf/ps copy of the handbook
or any other DocBook document using
   /usr/doc/share/mk/doc.project.mk
in other pagesizes, like a4, letter, or even
a custom format? Or said another way:
which knob to I need to turn for the pagesize?

I'm using this Makefile:

  # Makefile -- Some DocBook document
  # Copyright (C) 2003 Farid Hajji, http://www.farid-hajji.net/address.html
  # $Id: Makefile,v 1.1.1.1 2003/06/04 10:47:32 farid Exp $

  DOC_PREFIX?=  /usr/doc
  DESTDIR?= ${.CURDIR}/output
  MAINTAINER=   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  DOC?= book
  FORMATS?= pdf
  BOOK_OUTPUT?= yes

  # Always synchronize the SRCS with chapters.ent
  SRCS+=book.sgml
  SRCS+=src/chap_01.sgml
  SRCS+=src/chap_02.sgml
  # etc...
  SRCS+=  chapters.ent

  .include ${DOC_PREFIX}/share/mk/doc.project.mk

I'm just trying to modify the default page size, that's all.
Everything else works as expected.

Many thanks,

 There is no command-line/Makefile knob for papersize, but
 you can add the following line

  (define %paper-type% USletter) 

 into your dsssl stylesheet for letter size output.
 A0 to A10, B0 to B10, C0 to C10, USletter,
 A4landscape, and USlandscape are valid.

Question: ipfw2, MAC addresses and divert.

2003-06-05 Thread RS
Hi,
I'm trying to write some ipfw rules to divert packets from a machine
matching a MAC address to a natd process running on a custom divert
port.
Here are the rules I tries that don't work:
ipfw add 99 divert 8669 mac any 00:E0:18:F1:57:94 via wi0
ipfw add 99 divert 8669 mac 00:E0:18:F1:57:94 any via wi0
These do not match and the packets don't get diverted.

However, something like this does work:
ipfw add 49 deny mac any 00:E0:18:F1:57:94 via wi0
ipfw add 49 deny mac 00:E0:18:F1:57:94 any via wi0
Packets are appropriately denied.

This will work, using the ipaddress of the machine instead of its MAC:
ipfw add 99 divert 8669 ip from 10.0.0.243 to any via wi0
ipfw add 99 divert 8669 ip from any to 10.0.0.243 via wi0
What changes between using deny versus divert as a rule action that
MAC addresses don't match? Any suggestions?
Thank you.

djbdns is highly recommended - very easy to setup if you already
understand the concept of zone files with named (although the syntax of
djbdns 'data' files is different).

djbdns is nice in that it separates the various tasks that named does
into distinct modules - one for udp auth nameserver queries (tinydns), another for
tcp (axfrdns), another for caching name server (dnscache).

The best place to read is here:
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html

note that djbdns is in the ports under /usr/ports/net/djbdns iirc.

Problem compiling the C/C++ reference for Kdevelop

found it much improved over the older releases. Getting into it, I decided

Spring cleaning giveaway - UPDATE

2003-06-05 Thread J. Seth Henry
I managed to get rid of some of my surplus gear, but not all.

I had a fellow claim the serial terminal, and some of the K6 CPU's, but
never got back to me with an address. If you still want these items, let
me know.

I had someone else looking for a K6 CPU, but my emails have been bouncing.

Right now, I still have:

1) CIT224 serial terminal VT52/100/200 - runs up to 9600 baud reliably,
19200 with occasional problems.

~15 lbs

2) 4x K6-2 266 CPU's. Presently in a tray, but I can divide them up.

3) 1x K6-3+ 450 CPU with heatsink/fan (not sure if it works)

4) Voodoo2 board. I believe this is the 12Mb version of the card. I have
the passthrough cable, and I believe the SLI cable as well.

5) 4x 1Mb 30-pin SIMM's

6) 1x Compaq RAM for 386LTE, or similar vintage laptop.

Last call - after this, it goes to the dump, or the local thrift shops.

problem with parallel port ZIP drive (100MB)

2003-06-05 Thread Vivenzio Pagliari
Help!

I can't use my parallel port iomega ZIP drive on FreeBSD. I think that I 
followed all the instructions (from the ZIP drive article under
/usr/share/doc/en/articles) correctly, but obviously I missed something :-(

What I did was:

1. Configure the kernel: the (as far as I have understood) important
   lines of my kernel configuration PCKERNEL were:

# SCSI peripherals
# the next two are required by vpo device (Iomega ZIP drive)
device  scbus   # SCSI bus (required)
device  da  # Direct Access (disks)
# the rest is not necessary
#device sa  # Sequential Access (tape etc)
#device cd  # CD
#device pass# Passthrough device (direct SCSI access)

# Parallel port
device  ppc0at isa? irq 7
device  ppbus   # Parallel port bus (required)
#device lpt # Printer
#device plip# TCP/IP over parallel
device  ppi # Parallel port interface device
device  vpo # Requires scbus and da

1a. Compile the kernel with:

   cd /usr/src; make buildkernel KERNCONF=PCKERNEL

1b. Install it:

   make installkernel KERNCONF=PCKERNEL

2. Reboot:
   During boot, the system hung for a few seconds and some timeout
   messages from vpo appeared on the screen. The last lines of dmesg
   output are:

ppc0: Parallel port at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
ppc0: Generic chipset (EPP/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode

Any hint highly appreciated!

 I have a customer who has 2 servers, one is 4.8-RC and the other is
 4.8-STABLE.  No problems have been noted on his server with 4.8-RC,
 however the one running 4.8-STABLE seems to have some random /dev/null
 permission changes and I'm stumped.
 
 He runs a cron script (on both servers) and redirects the output to
 /dev/null, and everytime he does it on the 4.8-STABLE the permissions
 change from crw-rw-rw- to crw-r--r-- which is rather odd.  Anytime I 'echo
 blah /dev/null' just in a regular shell, nothing goes wrong, only when in
 cron.
 
 Errors reported in /var/log/maillog are something like this:
 
 Jun  2 21:06:56 diamond sm-msp-queue[97747]: h5316uZO097747: disconnect:
 open(/dev/null) failed: Permission denied
 
 Also, cron reports similar:
 
 Subject: Cron [EMAIL PROTECTED] echo blah /dev/null
 X-Cron-Env: SHELL=/bin/sh
 X-Cron-Env: HOME=/home/sk
 X-Cron-Env: PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
 X-Cron-Env: LOGNAME=sk
 X-Cron-Env: USER=sk
 
 cannot create /dev/null: permission denied
 
 I cvsup'd, rebuilt the world, mergemaster'd the system to the latest and
 still experience issues.  Was there a change between 4.8-RC and 4.8-STABLE
 that is causing this that I am just overlooking here?
 
 Any advice is greatly appreciated, as of right now I am banging my head.
 
 Sincerely,

5.0-release upgrade

Hi all,

I've installed 5.0-release and I want to get the latest sources in order 
to upgrade my system. I've read the handbook and found cvsup. I've 
created a supfile and I have one doubt: which should be the value of

telnetd without inetd

2003-06-05 Thread Dan Mahoney, System Admin
Is there a way to run telnetd in standalone mode, i.e. without inetd?
We have a system that we sometimes need to connect to from within a cisco
router, which can't do ssh (and not from anywhere else, we've firewalled
it as such).

You don't understand the ports. FreeBSD doesn't support XFree86. XFree86 is a 
port that you install on FreeBSD. So, if XFree86 4.3 doesn't support your 
GeForce4 card, then FreeBSD won't either.

You can find the cvs tags at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html

I don't think of 5.x as a release quality system in the sense that 4.x is. 
This will change when they release 5-stable at 5.2. Until then, I think the 
only tag to follow is tag=., which is 5-current.

Can I synchronise local time with some NTP-server?

2003-06-05 Thread Constantine
Hello!

I am running FreeBSD 4.8. How can I synchronise my clock with some NTP 
server? The time on my server right now is 4 minutes fast, and I do not 
like that... Can I set up a script that would automatically synchronise 
the time with some available server?

My server is located in the USA, in case one would like to suggest some 
good servers to synchronise with. :-)

For a good time check out man ntpd and then do a google search on ntpd

Are you just concerned about running it through inetd?  What about the

your concern is about running it through inetd.  I don't know if you can run

FWIW, you can further lock down access in the hosts.allow file.

I guess, You are also trying to setup ntpd, because you believe the manpage 
about retired ntpdate. But it seems ntpdate is not retired. Just setup a 
cronjob which polls an ntp server. I think, ntpd does not work until you get 
explicit permission from the ntp-admin (you can write an email).

Netatalk with 5.0?

2003-06-05 Thread David Kelly
Having upgraded a non-critical system to 5.1-BETA from 4.8 by wiping the
drives and starting from scratch, just how does one add NETATALK to the
new kernel config? I don't see it in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES and we
no longer have LINT... I do see netatalk at /usr/src/sys/netatalk/ but
nothing other than a COPYRIGHT file and no hints as to how to apply.

Or at least I think Protocol not supported is telling me the kernel is
missing something:

AndrAIa: [1005] /usr/local/etc/rc.d/netatalk.sh start
 netatalksocket: Protocol not supported
socket: Protocol not supported
atalkd: can't get interfaces, exiting.
AndrAIa: [1006]

I'd like to get netatalk working again. Then we'll figure out why Samba
doesn't...

Add:

xntpd_enable=YES
xntpd_flags=-l /var/log/ntpd.log # with logging

to /etc/rc.conf (this flag is different in 5.0 mind for anyone else that
tries this on 5.0) and then configure ntpd in /etc/ntpd.conf:

server ntp2a.mcc.ac.uk # choose a server near you obviously :)
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift

I think you might have to 'touch /etc/ntp.drift' initially - same with
/var/log/ntpd.log.

 My server is located in the USA, in case one would like to suggest some 
 good servers to synchronise with. :-)
As mentioned above check the official ntpd site - or even just google
for 'ntpd server usa'.

Re: Problem compiling the C/C++ reference for Kdevelop

2003-06-05 Thread J. Seth Henry
Argh - it appears that I have no libqt.so on my system. Interesting - I
installed from the package system. Having poked through the configure
script, I finally figured out what it was barfing on, and manually
searched to see if it was present, but perhaps in some odd location.
(find / | grep libqt resulted in libqt-mt.so, but no libqt.so)

Next question. Why don't I have a libqt.so?

In the meantime, I'm compiling from source using ports tree. If there is
source for libqt, then I'll know something is up.

Oh, and I accept the dumba** award for failing to notice the
--with-extra-libraries/includes option for the configure script. It now
finds the jpeg libraries.

Thanks,
Seth Henry

 That web page said to enter this command (which I do not have a good

  # sysctl -w kern.timecounter.method=1
 which I did, but apparently my 5.0 doesn't like that because it
 promptly spit back:
 sysctl: unknown oid 'kern.timecounter.method'
I looked at that FAQ page, and right underneath where it lists that
command it says the following:
Note: The -w option of sysctl(8) is deprecated and silently ignored in
FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE and all newer versions. You can safely ommit it when
setting options with sysctl as shown above.
I'd give it a try with out the '-w' flag.  Although I don't know if it'll fix
your issues.  Just maybe a step in the right direction.


It still generates the exact same error message

booteasy / syslog

2003-06-05 Thread Matthew Ryan
Hi there,

Does anybody know how i can configure booteasy not to remember the last 
choice i made. I would like it to default to one particular boot (XP in 
fact), so that my 5 year old does not occasionally find himself looking 
at a FreeBSD login prompt.

Failing that, can anyone recommend an alternative boot manager.

Completely unrelated i know, but I am having problems finding how to 
setup sysogd to accept logs from a remote host, in this case a gateway 
router at another site. Just a link to   a good how-to would help. I 
have googled but to no avail.

Thanks

I, too, share the concerns about stability of a newer version. To me,
though, that means I feel not yet ready for the 9.x versions of BIND
(especially the earlier 9.x versions came with quite a few quirks); but I
trust the 8.3.3 and higher versions.

I see a parallel with the development of MySQL, for instance. Though its
developers were long since at 4.x, they still kept working on the 3.x
branch. So, I am running the latest installment of the 3.x series. And my
thinking for BIND was the same: I continue to have an eye on the 9.x
versions, but, for now, only seek to install the most stable version of the
3.x branch. And since the developers of both BIND and MySQL still work on
refining the earlier branches, I guess they can follow, at least part of, my
reasoning.

Just for your information, here is what the paragraph above sounds like to

Blah blah blah, I didn't actually read the comment in the Makefile where
it says if you urgently desire to run the latest BIND you can just compile
it from source and install it yourself, blah blah blah, Do what I want you
to do because I want you to do it, blah blah blah.

If you think this is unecessarily harsh, please check the many gigabytes
of mail archives where the subject of rational expectations on your part

should be doing it.

Also, you should probably consider the possibility that if I thought it
was a good idea for everyone in the FreeBSD community to rush out and run
the latest and greatest version of BIND, I would already have upgraded the
port.

 all of which tells me that you didn't actually READ what I said in
the Makefile. Or if you did, you didn't bother to try and understand it.
Either way, you've demonstrated to me that further communication with you
isn't likely to yield fruitful results.

Non-Executable Stack Patch

2003-06-05 Thread Tony Meman
I was wondering if there's any non-executable stack patch for
FreeBSD's kernel.
I searched in google but all I got was some questions in 
freebsd-security back from 2001 and an answer saying someone
heard about a project like this, but no information at all.

Is there any patch like PaX or Openwall available for FreeBSD?

I dont want to discuss if its useless or not since there're a
lot of techniques to defeat these protections. I'm not
interested in patches for gcc or alikes either.
Regards,

Fact: I haven't asked *you* to do a single thing, Doug!

Unless being CC:'ed on an update to a port that you are listed as $MAINTAINER of

deliberately trying to convince the members of this list that they should not

Are you trying to convince people that contacting the listed maintainer of a

Why should I consider that?  I answered Mark's request; I didn't tell him, or 
anyone else for that matter, to upgrade their version of BIND.  True, or not true?

 all of which tells me that you didn't actually READ what I said in
the Makefile. Or if you did, you didn't bother to try and understand it.
Either way, you've demonstrated to me that further communication with you
isn't likely to yield fruitful results.
True, Doug, but you probably aren't honest enough to take responsibility for 
your own actions causing the problem.  I haven't done anything wrong, except 
maybe try to help someone else in your presence.

How to analyse squid logs and wierd time stamps

2003-06-05 Thread keith
Hi all,
Here is a squid log sample...
1049884671.477240 10.0.1.121 TCP_HIT/200 744 GET
ftp://ftpav.ca.com/pub/inoculan/scaneng/Siglist.txt - NONE/- text/plain
... Whoa!
Anyone know of a port to analyse this stuff and change what MIGHT be a
timestamp to something a mortal like me can read??
Appreciate help

Re: How to analyse squid logs and wierd time stamps

2003-06-05 Thread Murray Taylor
Strange as it seems ... one of our netadmins came 
to me with the same query, so I created this little program


#include stdio.h
#include time.h

void main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

time_t clockval;

if ( argc != 2 ) {
printf(\nUsage: ctime time_in_seconds\n);
printf(returns DDD MMM dd HH:MM:SS \n);
printf(  in local timezone ...\n\n);
printf(To get GMT use\n);
printf(env TZ=GMT ctime time_in_seconds\n\n);
return;
}

argv++;

sscanf(argv[0],%lu, clockval);
printf(clockval = %ld\n, clockval);
printf (time = %s\n, ctime(clockval));

}

It should be self explanatory once compiled ...

cheers

Sure.  Install /usr/ports/net/adns and /usr/ports/www/analog.  Check out and 
update the analog config file in /usr/local/etc.

cd to where your log files are, and DNS resolve the IPs via:

adnslogres -c 2  access_log  access_log.dns

...then run analog against this (DNS-resolved) logfile, and it will generate 
lots of info.  You can also do other things with the DNS-resolved logfile using 
other tools, but most of 'em will prefer to start with the output of adnslogres, 
so that step is worth doing.

Bind 9 Port

2003-06-05 Thread cp
I was planning to ask opinions on this tonight even
before I saw the discussion on Bind 8. I'm preparing
a old box for Internal, Caching and an unrelated 
primary master. The security warnings at FreeBSD.org
seemed quite clear that I should not use Bind 8 due
to 3 flaws that can be exploited if recursion is turned 
on (such as would be necessary when running caching).
At ISC, it stated that Bind 8 should be used only for
experimentation or some such warning. I started to 
realize that my setup work thus far was moot.

Running 5.0 January, I went to my ports disk and pulled
Bind 9 which would not install at all. I went to ISC and
pulled the binary versions which were incompatible with
a crypto lib. I checked google and saw nothing specific
on the issue. It's either pull the Bind 9 source, 
compile.and possibly hold off implementation for another
series of tests or do something else.

Before I go any further with 5.0, is it most appropriate
to use FreeBSD 4.8 STABLE April with the Bind 9.2.2
binary from ISC? I just want know it works or if there
is a better combination that is secure and functional?

Try running xf86config. This is what I used to configure my mouse for X.

Canterwood/Springdale platform support questions

2003-06-05 Thread John Reynolds
Hey all, after some googling, grepping, etc. I'm still at a loss to determine
if the forthcoming 5.1-RELEASE (or 5.x-RELEASE for that matter) will have
support for the recently released Canterwood/Springdale platforms--notably the
S-ATA functionality of ICH5?

I looked at the CVS repo and saw some comments and deltas in the ATA code which
added PCI Ids and a few other cursory mentions of S-ATA but I'm not expert
enough to know from reading the code if ICH5's S-ATA is supported or not.

Have there been any northbridge issues encountered by people? Have people tried
to install 5.x or 4.8-STABLE on a Canterwood/Springdale (i875/i865--perhaps one
of the Abit IC7 or Asus P4C800 moboards)? If so, what was the success level?

I'm in the market for a new system and am looking to see when/if support for
this platform will hit the tree and if it's already there if there are any
gotchas. Thanks!

-Jr

wait I figured this out.  I changed the saslauthd flags to 

if [ -z ${sasl_saslauthd_flags} ]; then
sasl_saslauthd_flags=-a getpwent
fi

got the daemon running and things are fine now.

are there any security issues here.  looks liek I cannot send mail unless I
have SSL enabled on the client side.  SO I think I have things running properly.

cvsup to 4.8 - kernel doesn't build

2003-06-05 Thread Scott Kupferschmidt
Hello,

I think something changed in the kernel as it is no longer compiling after
I do a cvsup to 4.8-stable.  It seems it's a common problem looking on
line 47 of some .c files to include a file that does not exist.  I've
noticed this so far in the hifn and ubsec modules, trying to include
opt_hifn.h or opt_ubsec.h and causing the build to fail.

Can someone else verify this?  The solution I've been doing for now is
just removing that include line in the code and seems to be building fine
otherwise.

Sincerely,

Scott Kupferschmidt
