Apache leaks sensitive info in PHP phpinfo() calls
Hi, I wanted to get some opinions on this subject before I submit a PR about it. I don't know if there are any pitfalls with the 'fix' I suggested and though it best to run it past people here before submitting. If there's a better place to post this please let me know (freebsd-ports?).

However the apachectl script does not start with a clean environment, inheriting the environment of the user that invokes the script. As a consequence the environment variables set by the shell of the user that invokes apachectl (usually a UID 0 user) are visible to users when executing a command such as phpinfo() in the PHP $_ENV superglobal array. How-To-Repeat: Invoke the apachectl control script as a user who has shell environment variables set. Browse to a web page served by the httpd that contains a PHP phpinfo() call and observe the environment of the user in the $_ENV superglobal array. Fix: Add a single line to the apachectl control script to ensure apache runs with a clean environment: *** /usr/local/sbin/apachectl Thu Nov 13 06:59:05 2003 --- /usr/local/sbin/apachectl.bak Thu Nov 13 06:58:54 2003 *** *** 26,32 # # the path to your httpd binary, including options if necessary HTTPD=/usr/local/sbin/httpd - HTTPD=`echo /usr/bin/env -i $HTTPD` # # a command that outputs a formatted text version of the HTML at the # url given on the command line.

deleted ports
Hi, I had a problem with the Mesa3-Port. Someone told me that the port has moved to libglut. The problem was, that /usr/ports/graphics/Mesa3 was not deleted and the only in this directory was README.html. When I deleted the file and the mesa-directory libglut was installed and everything was okay. So I have 2 questions: 1. Why the mesa-port dir wasnt deleted ? 2. Is there anywhere a description of the ports mechanism inclusive meaning of files like MOVED?

I have a new FreeBSD 4.9 system that I want to install OpenOffice and some other stuff on. Most of the stuff left to install is pretty big and thus will be hard to download via ports over my dial-up connection (yes, I use dial-up). I know it's possible to download tarballs and drop them into the ports tree somewhere so you don't have to do the download. I'm wondering how easy this is, though. By that I mean, if I wanted to say install Tomcat, Java, OpenOffice, etc. in this manner how would I know which package to download? And from where? I'd like to download these at work, burn them on a CD and take them home. However, since I'm not in front of my machine I don't know where ports will be looking for these files. Anyone know? running make fetch-recursive-list will tell you everything including -all- the places you can get the files. If you use a windoze box at work however, it'll be slightly painful, since you have to copy each url one by one (I imagine using something else like linux wouldn't be too bad, since you can generally make it use wget by running it with FETCH_CMD=wget). I've never actually done it this way though, and one issue I see is the fact that /usr/ports/distfiles has certain things semi-ordered (openoffice stuff is dumped into /usr/ports/distfiles/openoffice for example), and I don't think fetch-recursive-list does anything about it. Of course, this just means you have to move a few things around when you get home. You can learn where exatly you need the distfile by looking at the line starting with ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/: [I use wget as my fetch command][lines wrapped on ||] $ cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice/; make fetch-recursive-list| head -n 1 /usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2 || /usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 http://openofficeorg.secsup.org/stable/1.0.3/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2 || /usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/openoffice/stable/1.0.3/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2 || /usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/openoffice/stable/1.0.3/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2 || /usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 ftp://www.t.ring.gr.jp/pub/misc/openoffice/stable/1.0.3/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2 || /usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 http://www.t.ring.gr.jp/archives/misc/openoffice/stable/1.0.3/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2 || /usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 ftp://ftp.chg.ru/pub/OpenOffice/stable/1.0.3/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2 || /usr/bin/env wget -c -T 5 ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/openoffice1.0/OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2 || echo OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2 not fetched This means that the distfile OOo_1.0.3_source.tar.bz2 should be put in /usr/ports/distfiles/openoffice1.0/ -- Robin Schoonover (aka End) # # Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics. -- Fletcher Knebel # ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- DoubleF Virtual means never knowing where your next byte is coming from. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Apache 1.3 was originally designed for the Unix platform. Although it also runs with Windows and others, it's not optimized for them. The Apache 2.x was designed for multi-platform-usage and uses some portability libraries etc. (And I have the feeling, it's slower on FreeBSD, but that's only a personal impression). So, as a FreeBSD user, Version 1.3.x should be the right choice.

Re: Mount SMB share on bootup
Lines prefixed with are what Chirhart, Brian wrote. Ed - that worked great... Thanks!! I am not sure what I did, but it worked. What language is that script in? It isn't perl - is it C? No, it's a simple bourne script. If you put bourne shell scripting into Google, you will get tutorials and information. You could write an rc.d script in perl if you wanted to. The scripts in /usr/ local/etc/rc.d need to match the following rules in order to be executed at system startup/shutdown: (taken from the rc man page) o Scripts are only executed if their basename(1) matches the shell globbing pattern *.sh, and they are executable. Any other files or directories present within the directory are silently ignored. o When a script is executed at boot time, it is passed the string ``start'' as its first and only argument. At shutdown time, it is passed the string ``stop'' as its first and only argument. All rc.d scripts are expected to handle these arguments appropriately. If no action needs to be taken at a given time (either boot time or shut- down time) the script should exit successfully and without producing an error message. o The scripts within each directory are executed in lexicographical order. If a specific order is required, numbers may be used as a prefix to the existing filenames, so for example 100.foo would be executed before 200.bar; without the numeric prefixes the opposite would be true. -Ed -Original Message- From: Edward Epstein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 5:43 PM To: Chirhart, Brian; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Mount SMB share on bootup Lines prefixed with are what Chirhart, Brian wrote. point is password protected (on the XP side) so I am prompted for a password. How can I automate that? Or should I create the share without a password? I am not too worried about internal security so the share could have no password and that would be fine. Create a script called whatever.sh, chmod +x 755 whatever.sh and put that script in a /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Put the following lines in that script #!/bin/sh smbmount username=user password=pass and the rest of the parametars that you are normaly using when mounting smb partition.

This is how the line for me looks, it's just like yours. //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/SHARE /mnt/chaos smbfs rw,noauto 0 0 To specify your username and password for the mount, you should create /etc/nsmb.conf the syntax for this file is shown in /usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc Here is an example from my machine: #nsmb.conf [CHAOS] addr=10.0.3.3 [CHAOS:EDWARD] password=X Finally, to mount on bootup, create a file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d with the following contents (or something similar; you probably didn't name your share CHAOS): [EMAIL PROTECTED] more /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.chaos.sh #! /bin/sh case $1 in start) echo Mounting CHAOS... mount /mnt/CHAOS 2 ;; stop) echo Unmounting CHAOS... umount /mnt/CHAOS 2 ;; esac Also, I make sure my /etc/nsmb.conf file is owned by root and chmod'ed 600 because it contains a password in plaintext. Don't forget to make sure that your file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d is chmodded at least 700 so that it's executable by, at the very least, the owner (should be root). I hope this is clear

GDM - configured as per the documentation but stil chrashes - FreeBSD 4.9 an d 5.1
I cannot get GDM2 to work on neither 4.9(nor 5.1.) GDM chrashes at boot time no matter what I do. I use the gnome2-2.4.0 package. I have tried to install it at install time(which results in the gdm users not being created), installed it afterwards and compiled it from source(using ports), but the result is the same: gdm chrashes X at boot time. I have followed the instructions given at package install, that is copied the /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh.sample to /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh. I have also copied the /usr/x11R6/etc/gdm/factory-gdm.conf to /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf. I have not touched the /etc/ttys file, it is vanilla as installed. I have searched the net in vain for any tips on how to fix this, the only things I have found are the ones I have tried already. The pam fix(from http://people.freebsd.org/~marcus/pam_get_user.c.diff ) should not apply to 4.9 so I have not treid that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: How to find our what version of ports your running?
Hmmm... Thanks for that Lowell. Yes I knew about the pkg_version cmd. I was just hoping that I had missed a command or file that explain it all. I started digging around, and found that the /usr/ports/LEGAL file has the following: # $FreeBSD: ports/LEGAL,v 1.274 2003/02/19 04:24:53 marcus Exp $ as one of the headers, so I guess, that is a rough indication of when it was compiled. Perhaps it might even roughly tie in with the FTP site iso Hmmm, just checked, and they only show 4.8 as the oldest: April 2003 So I guess, that ports version came with 4.7. Anyway, thanks everyone.

exim not running after portupgrade?
I recently ran portupgrade to get to a state that approximates current, and when I rebooted exim is not running. It used to, just fine, but now when I boot I've got no MTA. I can tell you, fetchmail thinks this is quite the problem :-) What could have caused this? As far as I can tell it was being started *somehow* before, and now it isn't. It works fine if I just remember to # sudo exim -bd -q5m but I think it shouldn't have stopped starting just because of a portupgrade.

where to find info on ipfw programming interface?
Hi ppl! I need to be able to control ipfw rules from within my program. A year ago I spent a week to get how to do this using ipfw utility sources. And at last successfully did it after a lot of probes and falls :0) But now since 5.0 FreeBSD is using another implementation (so called IPFW2) which is much more comprehensive and I believe robust at least as I got from ip_fw.h But in any case some thing are still unclear for me. So the question is: where can I find some kind of formal specification on what order commands and actions must be placed in a rule and what kind of parameters are needed for every kind of op_code. If there're anything about thsi problem I'd be very glad to have a copy or at last a link to :0) Alex ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Cant Build KDE3

I am planning to write a brief history of the four BSDs, going way back in time (probably a few words on Ritchie, etc.) but then concentrate on FreeBSD. My advise would be to pick one subject and stick with that. Don't go into the history in general if you for something detailed about FreeBSD and if you go for the hirstory don't write about something detailed. You'll proberbly find that you have lots to write about. I have two subjects you may like: 1. The history starting from 1978 until now. Perhaps something about the feutere of BSD (dead), BSDi (could be dead), FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. 2. FreeBSD 5 (History of FreeBSD 5, feutes, compersent betwain 4 and 5 and 5 and linux. If you have space over one detailed subject.) The history in it self should be larg enove and intersating on its own. You could start with the outcomming of Unix and go on to the univeristy of Berkley. Then go to the outcomming of FreeBSD, NetBSD and BSDi. Followed by the lawsute betain Unix and BSDi BSD. Then OpenBSD came out in 1995. Recently Apple followed with Darwin (based on NetBSD and FreeBSD). As altenative there are two CD versions (NetBox and FreeBIE) and a small version (PicoBSD) wich are based on FreeBSD. Ending with a compersent betwain all versions. I'm really asking if anybody can suggest any particularly interesting topics that I can go away and research and then include in my essay. I guess since it's only a short essay I can't have /too/ much detail and I didn't particularly want to try and explain something /very/ complicated (although please suggest just the same ;). Another subject would be the outcomming of FreeBSD 5. If you go this way skip the general history!! Only go for the relevent history for this version. Then coninue on the new and cool feutures of FreeBSD 5. Maybe talk about one or two in more detail. And a compersent betwain FreeBSD 4 and 5. For something sufficiently technical as well as a bit controversial, what about comparing/contrasting the two roads from version 4 of FreeBSD - version 5 vs. DragonflyBSD?

Re: Newbie: The C / C++ Issue
Am I missing something here? When does C have OO capability? Structs don't count. What about inheritance and polymorphism? That's in the implementation AND application. Just because you CAN access part of a lowly struct, doesn't mean you have to. It's object oriented if you OBSERVE the restricted accesses defined by OO. Whether or not they're there is completely irrelevant. Of course C has OO capability, it just doesn't have its restrictions :) The idea that C can be used to do object-oriented programming is a myth. The C language is not object-oriented or even object-based. The big reason C++ is object-oriented is due to dynamic binding. Check out the C++ FAQ lite: http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/big-picture.html#faq-6.8 If you declare a struct, and then implement a specific set of routines to manipulate it, and only use those routines, except for those 'data members' that would otherwise be public anyway, that's essentially your class. You're doing without all the type and access restrictions IMPOSED by C++, but that doesn't mean you can't OBSERVE those restrictions. This way, when saving cpu time is critical, you can bend those rules. With C++, you're stuck on the long road. You can drive your car to an open plain in the desert, and operate the vehicle as if you were in the city, observing imaginary stop lights, lanes and traffic. But why pretend? The systematic constraints in C++ exist to organize code, protect your work. They are there for the same basic reasons that local variables exist in C. I would agree that you can write programs that do the same thing in all three languages above, but I don't think that OO is a waste of time. OO promotes code reuse. That is the whole point. No one ever claimed OO was a waste of time that I noticed. But I don't see code reuse with C++ any more than with C. I'm a real big fan of code reuse, and I have reused more C code than I can remember. Problem is that when C++ code gets reused, it's usually a template class, in which case, you'd probably be better off with C anyway. There are so many different ways to re-use code. Even cutting and pasting, which is essentially what the STL does. (correct me if I am wrong) If you are going to re-use code, at least be organized, make a good interface, and don't re-invent the wheel unless you have to. C, C++, whatever. Using C++ implies a state of mind. You can write code like in C, but it defeats the purpose of using an OO language. Not sure what you mean by this, but if using C++ is a state of mind, why can't that state of mind affect the way C code is written? And it doesn't defeat the purpose if you misbehave regularly and NEED the unbreakable restrictions. Components in the real-world problem map directly to objects in the program. C++ was designed to be used this way. C was not. --Allan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am not sure exactly what limit is for file size (among other things it depends on the block size used), but, just as for file system size, the limit is in the TB-range. It is most certainly possible to create files larger than 2GB. If your friend is unable to, he is doing something wrong.

Re: sound question
play: /dev/dsp: Device busy Perhaps esd is running and grabbing the sound device? 80418 ?? Ss 2:56.38 esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd so if I kill -9 the esd process, icq will start emitting sounds ? unfortunately no, it will just mute my xmms session 1. Who started esd? 'root' or a non-root user? (ps axu) 2. Try fiddling with esd's flags? (man esd) I don't have a solution, but it's obvious that esd is opening /dev/dsp, and some programs like xmms or other sound apps communicate directly with esd, e.g. with a unix socket. If your app uses /dev/dsp directly, it will fail, because esd has locked it for itself. When I run mpg123, esd runs with the following params: $ ps ax | grep esd 15939 ?? Rs 0:03.23 esd -terminate -nobeeps -as 2 -spawnfd 5 It also opens this unix socket: $ sockstat | grep esd cpghost mpg123 159414 stream esd[15939]:10 cpghost esd 159396 stream (none) cpghost esd 159397 stream /tmp/.esd/socket cpghost esd 15939 10 stream /tmp/.esd/socket You could check the permissions of /tmp/.esd/socket Perhaps your sound app doesn't know how to use esd (you'll have to kill esd for this), or it knows, but can't, for some obscure reason. Of course, this is just a wild guess. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: No gethostbyname_r() in FreeBSD?
I'm trying to compile milter-dnsrbl.c from ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/people/rgooch/email-utilities/mailutils.tgz The problem is that gethostbyname_r() doesn't seem to exist in FreeBSD. This is the code which uses it (from milter-dnsrbl.c): It's a known issue. There are some third party DNS libraries that provide an implementation, e.g. in newer versions of bind. Ah, okay. Since I'm using system's BIND, I'll simply replace gethostbyname_r() with a call to gethostbyname() in this program and hope for the best [it doesn't look like a reentrant version is needed in this special case]. I'll google for the synopsis of gethostbyname_r() now.

Try starting not starting gdm at boot, and kicking it off later. This will enable you to get a better view of what breaks. You should also look at the gdm logs, and possibly the X logs.

p5 ports don't respect LOCALBASE
I support various types of servers and workstations which need different local software sets. I do all my building on one machine, so I use LOCALBASE and PKG_DBDIR in /etc/make.conf to keep the various configurations separate. Unfortunately many ports don't respect the LOCALBASE setting and install into /usr/local, even while recording the packing list as being in LOCALBASE! The p5 ports seem especially bad about this. I understand the need for perl to be able to find its local packages, so after I manually fix things up I need to know how to tell perl to look for its stuff under LOCALBASE instead of /usr/local. Can someone tell me? Or alternatively, has someone else found a better way to deal with the whole problem of maintaining different software sets?? Thanks!!!

Neither of these approaches worked. I am wanting to use this with an old LaserJet 4L PCL class printer. Directly connecting it to a parallel port works just fine [using apsfilter and all the other Postscript conversion software]. I just want to have it work from whichever machine using the network both for reasons of speed and not wanting to have a single box up just to print from some other machine. Check if you can print the defaul format. If you can the you have a misconfiguration is the apsfilther. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/index.php?dir=docs/FreeBSD/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Drive errors?
I've got a relativly recent STABLE machine that I', gettng errors like this on: Nov 12 20:00:01 black newsyslog[33912]: logfile turned over due to size100K Nov 12 20:00:07 black /kernel: ad3s1e: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 113202879 of 56601408-56601455 (ad3s1 bn 113202879; cn 7046 tn 141 sn 6) retrying Nov 12 20:00:15 black /kernel: ad3s1e: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 114997439 of 57498688-57498943 (ad3s1 bn 114997439; cn 7158 tn 66 sn 11) retrying Nov 12 20:00:16 black /kernel: ad3s1e: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 115000927 of 57500432-57500687 (ad3s1 bn 115000927; cn 7158 tn 121 sn 34) retrying Nov 12 20:00:20 black /kernel: ad3s1e: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 115172415 of 57586176-57586335 (ad3s1 bn 115172415; cn 7169 tn 38 sn 36) retrying Nov 12 20:00:22 black /kernel: ad3s1e: UDMA ICRC error writing fsbn 115188431 of 57594184-57594191 (ad3s1 bn 115188431; cn 7170 tn 37 sn 50) retrying The drive in question is an IBM/Hitachi 40H unit detected as: Nov 13 19:11:18 black /kernel: ad3: 39266MB IC35L040AVER07-0 [79780/16/63] at ata1-slave UDMA100 Ay first I thought this might be a drive problem, so I downlaoded IBM's Drif Fitness Tess. I've run it on this machine, in the advanced mode, and it passes with flying colors. So, is the disk bad anyway? Or is this some other issue? What issue could it be? I ran the test in the exact computer, asme cables etc to elimnaye changing them BTW -- They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
