  Hi,
  
  I run my web sites from a jail. The time has come that i now 
  need to send an
  email from one of those sites using the mail() function in php.
  
  I would like to know, what files do i need to be able to send 
  mail from the
  jail using the mail command. The box is using sendmail as its 
  mta, and is
  running 4.9 release.

This configuration (sendmail + php in a jail) should work out-of-the-box.
It does on all our servers (4.8 - 5.2). What kind of problems are you
experiencing?

Ruben

 This plagued me too. I found a very easy solution: esmtp in the ports.
 
 A few catches:
 
 1: You need an external SMTP server that will relay the mail for you. I was
 unable to get it to talk to the main host's SMTP, probably a feature of
 jailing... Luckily, I have another box on the LAN who's sole purpose is to
 relay mail for machines on the LAN.
 
 2: After you install esmtp, change your sendmail links (/usr/sbin/sendmail
 at least I think) to point at it. 
 
 3: If you compiled PHP w/ a non-existent sendmail, you have to recompile.
 It's a little confusing, but if you dig far enough in the docs, mail() will
 not compile if sendmail doesn't exist (it tests).
 
 Enjoy!
 Brent

At any rate, I've tried using my 4.3-RELEASE, 5.1-RELEASE cd's but those fail to even load due to a fault in the loader. I managed to find my 5.0-DP1 CD and gave that a shot, and low and behold the boot loader worked, it managed to find a driver for the SCSI drives (including the cdrom), and to my surprise the RAID controller as well.

To give you a little background, basically any *nix based OS I have tried fails to install due to not having a driver or a working driver for the RAID controller, so no block device shows up as being able to installed on to. 5.0-DP1 was the first thing that worked. Even NetBSD with their claim of being able to run on anything fails to install.

Ok so now the problem, pardon the winded explanation. I successfully created paritions and mount points and installed a system to them. Finished install, removed the CD, rebooted, and that ended that pretty much. Aftter it get's past loading up the BIOS and initializing the system, the loader comes up for me to push 'F1' to load FreeBSD. I do that and all I get is a system beep. Nothing loads, nothing happens, and I am able to keep pushing F1 with more beeps. No errors, no loading of anything, no nothin.

Is there a way I can force error messages to see what the problem is, or to get the machine to boot? Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

Hello,

The partition size in the RAID BIOS should be set to 2GB for use with
freebsd. Also look for BIOS and Firmware upgrades from mylex to improve
performance and reliability.

ImageMagic port build fails (again).

2004-01-13 Thread sms

Hi, fyi

Did a ports upgrade on a FreeBSD4.8 system
01/13/04 10:50am GMT+1.
The reason for this upgrade was to test newer versions of
ImageMagic, because of problems with the one currently installed 
(PACKAGE_LIB_VERSION_NUMBER=5,5,7,2).

It fails in the resize function (used in conjunction with Zope and
the Zope product Photo. Photo uses ImageMagic)
A build of ImageMagic-5.5.7-14 fails as follows:

How safe is 5.2 to use?

2004-01-13 Thread David Meier

Hello list,

I am relatively new to the world of FreeBSD. But first, congrats to the
new release! I am somewhat insecure on how trustfully I can use the new
release for my intended use (and I hope my questions haven't been posted a
zillion times before). Therefore I hope the FreeBSD nuts can advise me
whether to go for 4.9 or 5.2.

The setup:
hardware: DELL PowerEdge 1750 (Dual XEON, 2GB RAM, RAID 1).
web server: Apache 2.0, MySQL 4.0, PHP 4.3.4, Perl 5.8
mail server: Postfix, Cyrus IMAPd, Cyrus SASL, Amavis-new, SpamAssassin,
ClamAV

The servers will be used for virtual hosting as a small ISP evironment and
housed about 30min from where I work (in case I have to reset them...).

I don't know how and if the instability risks may affect such a setup of
services on the hardware described. Unfortunately, the advisories are kept
in pretty general language, however, I know it is hard to predict how it
will be running on a particular system. I just don't know FreeBSD well
enough to have a 'feel' about it (although I don't rely too much on
'feelings' in the world of computers). Is upgrading to 5.2 comparable to,
say, I upgrade from RedHat 9 to RedHat's newest release?

What I like about the 5.x releases is the possibility of taking file
system snapshots, for example to back up the mailboxes.

Thanks for all input. Dave.

RE: How safe is 5.2 to use?

Hi , 

You have to use FreeBSD 4.9, because you can see in freebsd web page
prodcution version is 4.9. and please test it maybe you will see you can not
install 5.2 on your hardware because when I try to install 5.1 on my intel
platform I faced a problem then now I'm using 4.9 . Everybody will say that
wait until more tested version and now its 4.9 


I didn't make a any update but suggested update mechanism is update in seris
for example 4.8 to 4.9 , but maybe problem can occur when you jump 4 to 5 .
I asked this question before and this is my knowledge what the list say .

 Look at the -f option to the mail command - see the manpage for mail(1)
 for more info.

Hmmm.. I don't think that's quite what the OP wanted.

One solution is to install the procmail port (ports: mail/procmail)
which contains a stunningly useful utility called formail(1).  Amongst
formail's many talents is the ability to split up a mbox format
mailbox into individual messages and pipe each into a program.  So in
order to resend all of the messages in your dead.letter you could try:

% formail -s /usr/sbin/sendmail -v -t -oiee  dead.letter

Or to split up the dead.letter mailbox into individual numbered
messages:

% formail -s /bin/sh -c 'cat  msg.$FILENO'  dead.letter

and you can pipe each message into sendmail as above to re-send it:

% /usr/sbin/sendmail -v -t -oiee  msg.999

Nb. be careful when doing this sort of thing, or you'll spray e-mails
all over the place and make yourself quite unpopular.

Put all of the user home directories on a separate partition which you

Make sure that the users have no write access to anywhere outside

/etc/login.conf or else from /etc/csh.login (for tcsh(1) users) or
/etc/profile (for bash(1) or sh(1) users) to ameliorate that.  If you
set TMPDIR=${HOME}/tmp each user can have their own private temporary
area under their home directory.  Note however that this only has an
advisory effect: not all applications will obey $TMPDIR.

You can mount the shared temporary directories noexec -- which will
work exceeedingly well 99.9% of the time.  Investigate mounting /tmp
as a memory filesystem -- see mount_mfs(8) -- as a good way to do
that.  Symlink other shared temporary areas to your memory filesystem
if you don't want to have more than one.  Nb. One occasion doing this
will definitely cause problems is when you are updating your system by
'make installworld' -- however that is a sufficiently uncommon event
that you can feasibly do a temporary remount of /tmp without noexec in
that case.

Even so, a determined user could probably still work out ways to get
an executable executed, but they'd have to put some effort into
working out how.

Cheers,

Matthew

That's an old version.  The PDFlib authors' latest version is 5.0.2,
and it seems that tey've removed the old versions from their
distribution sites.

What you should do is update your ports tree using cvsup(8):

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html

And see the example supfiles in /usr/share/samples/cvsup.  Note that
you always need 'tag=.' when updating ports.

Now when you go to install PHP4, it will use available versions of
software for its dependencies.

Re: agp error with Radeon 7500 disables DRI

2004-01-13 Thread David Fleck

To answer my own question, it turns out that (for my system, at least) the
agp.ko module *must not be preloaded* with loader.conf.  Commenting
agp_load=YES out of /boot/loader.conf fixed all three problems listed
here.

On Sun, 11 Jan 2004, David Fleck wrote:
 4.9-RELEASE-p1.

 At boot, the agp module appears to load OK:

 Preloaded elf module agp.ko at 0xc03d336c.
 agp0: VIA Generic host to PCI bridge mem 0xe000-0xe7ff at device

 agp0: allocating GATT for aperture of size 256M

 However, when starting X, the kernel spits out this message:

 /kernel: error: [drm:radeon_unlock] *ERROR* Process 265 using kernel
 context 0

 There is no such process when I look, of course...  the relevant section
 of the XFree86 log is:

 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] created radeon driver at busid PCI:1:0:0
 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xc22ce000
 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xc22ce000 to 0x28279000
 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xd800
 (II) RADEON(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel
 (WW) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP not available

 (II) RADEON(0): Memory manager initialized to (0,0) (1024,8191)

 I'm assuming there's some relationship between (a) the kernel warning
 message, (b) the 'AGP not available' message, and (c) the fact that DRI
 doesn't work anymore (it did before I upgraded from 4.6.2 to 4.9).  Can
 anyone think of where to look to figure this out?

It sounds like you don't have a proper .xsession file.

Start by removing whatever you already have for a .xsession file, and
you'll get the system default one.  If that doesn't work, look in
~/.xsession-errors.  If it does work, then you need to debug your
.xsession file (remember that you *don't* want it to exit while you
are running an xdm session.

For reference, my .xsession file is at

Re: Trouble getting network card to work

2004-01-13 Thread Jared Cheney

Thanks - I will give this a try when I get a chance.  When I got back in to
work yesterday I found a couple of 10/100 cards from a different vendor
(Intel) and threw them in and they worked on the first boot.  Depending on
how much time we have before my team needs to begin using the box, I may not
be able to test with the old cards, but I'll tuck away this information for
future use.

Thanks for everyone's help!  BTW, we're going to be using the machine as a
router in our test lab and setting up ipfw rules in conjunction with
dummynet 'pipes' for WAN emulation.  As I've been playing around with this
I've been amazed at all that can be done with it -- hats off to the FreeBSD
community for building such an excellent tool.

  Hello,
 
  I've just installed FreeBSD 4.9 and am having trouble getting my
  network
  card to work.  It is very odd, because it appears as though the
  kernel
  recognizes the card just fine and is using the pcn module to bring
  it up,
  etc.
 
  It is an AMD 79c79x card (according to FreeBSD).  I can view/set
  properties
  via ifconfig - and it properly shows whether or not there is link.
  I cannot
  obtain a DHCP lease, nor can I ping any other hosts on my network
  when I
  have a static IP configured.
 
  To ensure that the NIC is fine and all cables, etc. - I booted
 from
  a
  bootable Linux CD (Knoppix), where I was able to use the card fine
  to ping,
  browse the Internet, etc.  Linux showed it as an AMD 79c970
 [PCNET32

  card.
 
  The card is called pcn0 in FreeBSD, and it says that it is sharing
  IRQ 10.
  Running tcpdump for any length of time also shows that 0 packets
  were
  received by the filter.
 
  Anyone have any ideas as to what could be the problem?

Perhaps it hasn't--the last thing in the ppp.log is:

This might be a silly question, but the modem is plugged into serial

TBH, it's been a long time since I did PPP under FreeBSD. Broadband rules ;)

I have the same problem with linux. Making the root partition
smaller that 1000M, puting it on the first disk, etc etc  doesnt 
help in either case. I have also tried a few different bootloaders,
in all cases, the bootloader either failed to load, or failed to

With Linux (redhat7.x) I was able to build a bootable floppy on which
the location of the root partition was stored, and boot off that.
I could also interrupt the boot, enter different values, and boot
off of a different partition. Hardly ideal, but satisfactory.
What bootloader did Redhat give you? Isn't it grub? I've used grub for 
ages to dual-boot Win2k and FreeBSD - it can boot FreeBSD no problem.

My FreeBSD slice is at the start of my second drive so I type into grub:

chainloader +1
boot
And hey-presto FreeBSD boots no problem!

There's possibly a way to get other bootloaders to boot FreeBSD, I'm not 
to sure. But you might want to give grub a try anyway.

Good luck.

That's a question that only you can answer.

Will there ever be a time when The FreeBSD Project offically recommends 
5.x for production use? Almost certainly yes - just not yet. Each 
sysadmin has to make his own decision about when he wants to upgrade. 
Some might have no problems with 5.x as it stands and want to upgrade 
immediately to make use of new functionality - other may want to wait 
longer.

This isn't a one-size-fits-all question.

Hello list,

I am relatively new to the world of FreeBSD. But first, congrats to the
new release! I am somewhat insecure on how trustfully I can use the new
release for my intended use (and I hope my questions haven't been 
posted a
zillion times before). Therefore I hope the FreeBSD nuts can advise me
whether to go for 4.9 or 5.2.

The roadmap now says that 5.X will branch to
-STABLE around the time of 5.3, instead of the
earlier prediction of 5.2.  It seems likely that
folks will take that with a grain of salt, but
perhaps we can be appreciative of the fact that
the RELENG team wants a little extra time to
make sure things are, well, stable before they
name it as such.
It's not unlike a lot of other projects; I've created
a website in two weeks, and I've another that's
crawled on for well over a year.  Some things are
that way, and let's remember the adage beggars
can't be choosers.  I think it would be difficult to
find a large project that hasn't suffered from things
like feature creep  For a free (in the best
sense of the word) OS, we've got a Good Thing going here.
FWIW, I'm running 5.1 pretty well in a server environment
at the present, and just built 5.2 yesterday; everything
seems normal and is working well (pending successful completion
of portupgrade, sometime tomorrow, probably ;-) )

 Vahric

This is why the recommended update process is (in part):

# make buildworld
# make buildkernel
# make installkernel

Followed by a reboot into single-user mode before doing the installworld.
If the new kernel doesn't boot, you've still got the previous one in
/kernel.old, so you can just boot from that one and carry on without having
trashed any part of your system.

If installworld somehow manages to make your system unbootable, you have a
few options:
- boot single-user and try to fix things with the tools in /stand (or
/rescue on 5.x)
- boot CD #2 and try to fix things with the tools in the live filesystem
- restore from backups (you do have backups, right?)

Personally, I've made plenty of unbootable kernels, and a few worlds that
behaved strangely in places, but never an unusable system (fingers crossed
:-)

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 43, Issue 4

2004-01-13 Thread J. Seth Henry

Guys,
You can get a two slot chassis for a mini-ITX or flex-ATX board. The Travla 
C137 can take a 2-slot riser, though you are limited to using a 2.5 HDD. I 
used one of these chassis' for my primary router, with two 3Com 3C905TX NIC's 
installed. Although present and working, I don't use the onboard NIC; though 
the problems I had may have been with the cable modem, not the NIC.

Caseoutlet sells them, but you can get more info on them from Travla. (http://
www.travla.com/Products/C137/c137.html)

Keep in mind, the onboard NIC is there, so all you really need is one 
additional PCI NIC.

Seth Henry

 I had the same problem with lack of PCI slots,  my server/router is

my machine is always hovering on being out of physical memory and
usually dips into swap.  I can consistently resolve the problem by
closing, say, Mozilla Firebird to free up some memory.  I then relaunch
Firebird and am fine for while.  Then, after a time, the problem comes
back and I can either continually press the play button until it decides
to play, or I can close some application.  I have no idea whether this
is actually some interesting issue relating to swap/memory and the sound
device or just a co-incidence.  In any case it seems to work.  This is
an awful workaround, but I don't know what else to do at the moment.

 Dave

I run a similar set-up on a 4.8 box (with latest patchlevel) that's stable.
I also run another box running 5.0 again with the latest patchlevel - both
are stable. (Both Intel board/cpu's)

Unless you are after anything particular within the 5.x series, I'd stick
with what's stable 4.x branch (not saying that 5.x isn't stable, it's just
that not all the bugs may have been found/fixed yet). New features are nice,
but not always 100% stable - having said that, personally I'd not had any
problems with either. Admittedly haven't tried 5.1 nor 5.2 but still.

Might be worth having a closer look at the difference in the two releases
and seeing if 5.x will provide any extra features that you'll use.

RE: New installation: Hanging when trying to dial out

2004-01-13 Thread fbsd_user

Why don't you start at the beginning and tell us about the PC you
installed 4.6 on?

Is this an pre Y2K box?

What operating system was on it before?

Have you ever used the floppy drive before?

Does the floppy ready light flash when you power up the PC and boot?

What command are you using to try to mount the cd drive?
You know the drive  works because you installed from it.

Have you checked the PC's bio's to verify that the com ports are
enabled and the floppy drive is enabled?

Is the modem powered up before you boot FBSD?

Have you used the modem before?

Can you prove it works on another system?

Does this command connect to your com port with the external modem?
Tip comx  where x is the com port number that has modem

If it connects enter  AT   for the hayes attention command. Should
reply with  OK

Use ~ the . keyboard keys to exit tip command.

Well, I was just naively trying mount /dev/fd0 /mnt, but now I've
tried
it as you suggest, and again gotten Device not configured. This is
also what fdformat gives me when I try to format the disk. I'm also
unable so far to mount the CD drive.

  Are your serial ports probed correctly during boot? Look at
 dmesg|grep cuaa.

Now, that's interesting. I get results for sio, but nothing for cuaa
or
tty.

All the best,

 carefully.  Don't cut corners or make mistakes.

 Unless you can predict the error, it's hard to predict the solution.

problems creating a bootable image using burncd

I've been trying to create a a bootable CD using freesbie. I ran into problems
getting that to work. It failed to boot and the same thing happened upon reburn.

I then went to download a the 4.9 install iso to see if it was a possible
problem with the image that was created. The iso passed the check sum, but after
burning it, it would not boot too.

I've managed to verify that it is possible of booting from that drive using a
old win98 install disc I have laying around. The install for that comes up fine.

I've also tried it at different speeds and have gotten the same results.


Any ideas?

Thank you all for your input, I really appreciate it.

Somebody said that I would be fine (when using GPL-licensed stuff) as 
long as I provide the sources to people who use the application. I guess 
providing the source within the company is not a problem, however I 
thought it would be easier to use BSD-style licensed stuff.

I am having an odd problem with fetch.  I cannot

This is problematic for ports and downloading via sysinstall.

No.  Again, no.  An entity does not have to make source available unless it
distributes the product to another entity.  You can build proprietary
software using GPL components as long as you do not distribute *outside your
company*.  If it stays internal, you have no legal or moral obligation to
make your source available.

Yes, using BSD libraries avoids the problem, but the GPL isn't as
restrictive as you're making it sound.

What method are you using to burn the CD?  If it's a method that's
worked for you in the past, it sounds like you might have some flaky
CD-R's.

(Also note: there's a problem with the current FreeSBIE scripts for
creating working 4.x FreeSBIEs.  They fail to copy a required file onto
the CD - and when they do, it still won't detect your hard drives
without another minor change.  I've posted patches to the freesbie
mailing list that fix these problems, you might want to apply them
before trying to make another FreeSBIE.)

I seem to recall a discussion some months ago regarding a change to the way
boot CDs were made. This had the effect of breaking bootable CDs when using
older BIOSes that only knew about the old way of booting from CD. Pardon
my vagueness. I thought this was a 5.x issue but perhaps it was/is a 4.9
issue as well.

Apache2 and mod_perl2

2004-01-13 Thread Randy Grafton

I have just installed FreeBSD 4.9 and am having problems with Apache2 and
mod_perl2.
I used the ports, which was updated immediately after install, and did a
'make install clean' for both apache2 and mod_perl2, more specifically
apache-2.0.48_2 and mod_perl2-1.99r12.
I have not gotten fancy yet and have only included the following lines in my
httpd.conf for mod_perl2:
LoadModule perl_module libexec/apache2/mod_perl.so
PerlModule Apache2

The problem is that when I do '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start' the
machine just hangs, for a long time (4-8 minutes), before apache finally
comes up. I checked the logs and there aren't any negative entries. I
recently had to down system to move it, upon reboot it hung for 45 minutes
before I had to kill the 'apache.sh start/apachectl start/httpd -k start'
processes. When I say hung I don't mean the entire system, just the startup
processes of apache2.

I have slightly older versions on a 4.8 box that was installed identically
to what was described here and all is fine.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
-Randy

enabled in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config (which is the default), but
your /etc/pam.conf (FreeBSD 4.x) or /etc/pam.d (FreeBSD 5.x) has a
modified configuration.
Here are a couple of things to try --

Turn off Challenge-response authentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config 

Change:

   #ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes

to

   ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

and then:

   # kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`

to get it to reread the config.

-- or --

Double check the PAM settings: they should look like this in /etc/pam.conf

   # OpenSSH with PAM support requires similar modules.  The session one is
   # a bit strange, though...
   sshdauthsufficient  pam_skey.so
   sshdauthsufficient  pam_opie.so no_fake_prompts
   #sshd   authrequisite   pam_opieaccess.so
   #sshd   authsufficient  pam_kerberosIV.so   try_first_pass
   #sshd   authsufficient  pam_krb5.so try_first_pass
   sshdauthrequiredpam_unix.so try_first_pass
   sshdaccount requiredpam_unix.so
   sshdpassword required   pam_permit.so
   sshdsession requiredpam_permit.so
The /etc/pam.d case is similar, except you should have a file called
'sshd' in that directory, whose contents are similar, but without the
'sshd' entries in the first column.

As Matthew suggested, you can put the line

ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

in here. Then restart sshd

 Which FreeBSD version?  And are you running the OpenSSH server

Um... /etc/ssh/sshd_config is more to the point -- ssh_config is for
the client side, ssh*d*_config is for the server side.

However if you've just installed the system then chances are the
sshd_config is unmodified from the default settings.

Try turning off the challenge-response stuff as I suggested in my
earlier e-mail. ie. make it so that sshd_config contains:

ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

 /etc/pam.d/ssh

That looks fine.

Hmmm... This does look like a peculiar interaction of your particular
SSH client software and the OpenSSH server code on FreeBSD.

Normally I'd suggest running the client side connection with debugging
turned up high, eg:

% ssh -v -v -v host.example.com

but I don't know what the equivalent of that is for the client
software you're using.

A very good diagnostic test though is to run the server side with the
debugging turned up.  A good trick is to run it on an alternative port
so you can run it in parallel with your regular sshd. eg:

# sshd -d -d -d -p 24

You can then connect to the alternate port by:

% ssh host.example.com:24

This will produce quite a lot of output, and exit after the ssh
session.  By comparing this output to the equivalent output from a
machine where you don't have the problem you should be able to tell
what the FreeBSD box is doing differently, and maybe work out how to
fix it.  Be aware that the full debug output from sshd should not be
published as it can contain privileged information.

Cheers,

Matthew
