Re: Error building XFree86-Clients (Solution)
Hi folks! A Word of thanks to Kent and Dan who took the time to help me figure out my problem. In the end I rebiult XFree86-libraries using portupgrade -f, and thereafter I was able to use portupgrade to upgrade all the Xfree86-font* ports from 4.2 to 4.3 without any further problems. Apparently there was a specific issue somewhere between 4.2 and 4.3 where the installation of the Xfree86-server at version 4.3 would remove a component of XFree86-libraries which is required by the Xfree86-font* ports. So, the sequence to follow is this: 1) upgrade -server to 4.3 2) upgrade -libraries to 4.3 3) upgrade -font* to 4.3 I had unwittingly done (2) before (1).

Because I still use FreeBSD everyday (diffrent server) and the whole SCO thing, I want to try again to setup a freebsd box. To make sure I don't have a compatibility problem, I'd appreciate it if someone would look at this wish list http://secure.newegg.com/app/WishR.asp?ID=385191 And tell me if, in your opinion, all of these parts would be compatible with FBSD 5.1.

Eh? FrontPageEnable should be available when mod_frontpage has loaded. And
mod_ssl, in case you wondered, works fine by itself. And, unfortunately,
/var/log/httpd-error.log has no error-messages for this occasion.
So, what am I missing again? suexec (which I believe is mandatory), is

http_core.c
mod_so.c

If you have any suggestions left, I will gladly hear them. :) Thanks!
Make sure the mod_fronpage directives aren't surrounded by some
IfDefine blocks that aren't being loaded.
Line #5 is where the error is? What does your httpd.conf file
look like? I'm not sure about ordering but I would move
any Frontpage stuff to the bottom of your file after the
Load/AddModule directives. Don't know for sure if httpd.conf gets
processed in a linear fashion or not.
BTW, you should be using apachectl to start/stop/restart httpd.

Re: ISPs blocking SMTP connections from dynamic IP address space
- Original Message - From: Lucas Holt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Doug Poland [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Nicole [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 10:24 PM Subject: Re: ISPs blocking SMTP connections from dynamic IP address space You guys need to rethink this thing. Reverse DNS checks are ok, but ip blocking for legitimate servers is silly. I agree. You guys really need to rethink this. My turn to vent. :) For starters, what is dynamic IP address space anyway? You would think dialup-accounts or, at the very least, accounts that get their IP address assigned from a dynamic IP address pool. Yet, reading this thread, dynamic IP address space basically seems to mean: everyone who is not a major ISP. There are many things wrong with that simplistic reasoning. For one, just because whois.arin.net says a netblock is a dynamic address pool, does not mean IP addresses assigned to customers are, de facto, dynamic. In fact, especially with high-speed DSL accounts, ere the opposite is true: people get assigned what to them, and to the world at large, for all purposes and intent, is a static IP address. In exchange for money, their ISP has grants them the exclusive use of a fixed IP address. They register domain names on that IP address, and continue to use that one, unchanging IP address for all interactions with the world. Literally thousands of legitimate servers across the world run on such a (set of) static IP address(es), regardless of what their netblock, high up in the ARIN, or kindred, hierarchy is marked down as. When you force all people to use their ISP's smtp server(s), you funnel, as it were, a great number of clients through a single pinhole. Should that one pinhole become blacklisted/blocked, then suddenly thousands of people, en masse, can no longer send mail. Is that likely to occur? Yes. Because spam will also be sent through that same pinhole. AOL will likely cancel the account of the spammer; but spam will nonetheless have been sent through that one pinhole. And then what? Then you are faced with an uncomfortable choice: either I block the AOL smtp servers altogether, or I let them through entirely. What you have lost then, in effect, is the ability to discriminate. So, what then? You will whitelist the AOL smtp servers? That would be stupid. :) Because if there is only one pinhole, whitelisting that one pinhole is tantamount to giving all spammers a huge passpartout. And since, by your own act of narrow-sightedness, you have chosen to only deal with that one pinhole, you can no longer tell chaff from grain. Way to go, Einstein! Perhaps the greatest fallacy of em all: the ludicrous assumption that large ISP's do not spam. :) The largest sources of spam, their hypocrisy despite, are precisely those big ISP's, like AOL and hotmail, to whom you can write until you see blue in the face, but who do not give a damn, because they are big and know it. Do not be lazy; because you are. :) I know, I have been tempted too, many times, to just block hotmail altogether, and so reduce 70% of all spam. Yet, that would be laziness, really. Taking the easy route, like blocking all what you think is dynamic address space, is really just laziness on your part. It is you saying: I can no longer be bothered to figure out who is legit and who is not, so I will just block everything. That is bad administration. Crying, But SOMETHING needs to be done about spam, therefore I am right, is not a valid argument either. :) Sure, SOMETHING needs to be done about spam. But blocking thousands of legitimate servers across the world, just because you are lazy, is not the solution. Be meticulous in who you block, and be specific. Simply configuring your mail server to use your ISP's smtp as smarthost, and relay all outgoing email trough them, is not as transparent and benign a solution as suggested. You lose control over the way mail is being delivered/bounced, for instance. All of a sudden your clients get bounce-messages from the postmaster of your ISP, instead of from you directly -- with all the ensuing confusion to boot. Can the freebsd.org people look me in the eye, and really say they would not mind having AOL deliver their mail for them, as smarthost? Honestly, nobody likes to be in ward like that. It is as if your ISP would tell you, one day, that you can no longer provide an IHAVE newsfeed, but have to use their news server's POST command. Yeah, right. :) I have yet to encounter an administrator who would not mind yielding to such condescension. The main purpose of a mail exchanger is to exchange mail. :) Perhaps the focus on spam has caused it, but many people look on this backwards: as the administrator of your mail facility, your primary task is NOT to block illegitimate mail, but to facilitate the flux of legitimate mail. If you can do the former, kudos to you; but if you do it at great expense of the latter, then you should not be commended. What is that, you say? Omelets
RE: Mail client (Virtual users/domains)
Hey, I am running a virtual users setup using exim (http://www.exim.org) and vm-pop3d. Works like a dream. For a webmail client, im using imp (http://www.horde.org). Works very nicely aswell, with lots of nice addons. If you use a different MTA then it will replace Sendmail. I dont know about a Web Admin package for exim (?), but its easy enought to configure using command line. I never touch my exim.conf file. I only edit a pop3-domains file, which contains domains that i pop for, and an aliases file for each domain that i host for mail forwarding etc. The way it would work on my system would be: remote pc -- exim -- mailbox -- vm-pop3d -- client (using virtual login) Your pop3 daemon should do the authentication for you, if you are not using virtual users, then it will look at any users you have added to your system, if you have virtual users, it will look into how you have set it up for usernames and passwords.

Re: Did I do something wrong?
On Tue, Aug 05, 2003 at 09:38:16PM -0400, Gregory Felter typed: I received the information for my dedicated FreeBSD box today from the hosting company. It's an unmanaged box which was supposed to be running 4.8 but is running 5.1 because they said 4.8 would not install (Doubtful to me, sounds like an order mix up) I did as instructed and changed my login password to the account they set for me and the SU password. Next I found that they did a minimal install so through sysinstall I went to post install configurations and loaded in all distribution sets including ports. When this finished I installed my editor of choice, pico. In order to use pico after just installing it you must exit out from root and log in as root again. I typed exit and was back to my account prompt. For some reason I typed uname -a to see what info would show up. After looking at the output I typed su and received back who are you? I was surprised at the response so I typed su again, same response. Now, not knowing what to think, I said well I'll try logging in again. I'm still trying to log on! I'm locked out of the box. I know this is rather long but I just want to make sure I didn't do anything wrong. I'm not new to FreeBSD but this really has me puzzled. Did I screw up? Did they make a faulty install? Any thoughts? When you loaded in all distribution sets you overwrote the passwd files. So your stuck with a default passwd file now (root without a password and no additional users accept the default ones) You might find backups of the old passwd files in /var/backup, but for that you have to get in first from the console. I'd say you screwed up ;-) good luck, Ruben ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: ISPs blocking SMTP connections from dynamic IP address space
Since we began blocking servers with no reverse DNS we've been amazed at how many mail servers are setup with no reverse DNS. We've had several instances where we've been asked by the party being blocked how to fix the problem. Since I'm not a DNS expert all I've been able to tell them is to fix their DNS entry so they show up when we do an nslookup on them, which isn't very helpful but is about all I know to say. It would be very useful if someone could explain or give instructions on how to fix this problem so we all could pass the info along to people who need to straighten out their DNS.

NIS stealing low-numbered ports?
I'm running 4.7, using both NIS and cups. There has now twice been a problem where printing via cups started failing because cups couldn't open UDP port 631 to talk to the cups server, and both times, when I looked, there was an sshd belonging to some random (logged-in) user claiming that port. I found a short thread in the list archives from a few months ago saying that this was normal behavior with NIS, but shouldn't it be taking higher-numbered ports? The range of ports it uses seems to be about 600-1024; if there's a way to configure those numbers, we haven't found it. Has anyone else had this problem and found a satisfactory solution? aaron ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
