Can I block root login via xdm (console remote) ?
Hi, Despite all security rules blocking root login at all remote terminals, it is still possible to try login as root via xdm (either at console or even via remote X login connection). Is there no switch I can turn on, to block any attempts to login as root via local/remote xdm login?

There's many, many ways of doing this sort of thing under Unix. Assuming that your CD Rom is mounted under /cdrom and you want to copy everything onto /home/jerry/cdimage then: % cd /cdrom % mkdir /home/jerry/cdimage % tar -cvf - . | ( cd /home/jerry/cdimage ; tar -xvpf - ) However there are any number of commands you could substitute for that 3rd line: % find . -depth -print | cpio -pdmu /home/jerry/cdimage or, if you're installed the net/rsync port: % rsync -avx --delete /cdrom/ /home/jerry/cdimage/ That last one is particularly good if you've already got a partial copy in the destination directory, as it will avoid copying stuff it doesn't need to, and it will remove stuff under the destination not present in the source. None of these will be particularly faster than any of the others if you're copying from scratch -- the limiting factor should be the IO bandwidth of your hardware.

Unless you have more external ipadresses from your ISP , i don't see how you can achieve this. Since one Ipadress is in use for your Firewall/Router/Natbox (how one calles it :)), it is pointing to that host. No other host can be reached internally on the same ip.

If you get mail at that adres, it is always delivered at the main postbox, even if you have 20 seperated boxes with names on it. The mailman just dumps them in your main postbox (Your firewall).

Problem with Cyrus-Imapd
Hi!
I installed Cyrus-Imapd-2.2.3 with bdb-4.2.52 on

1) When I delete mail messages from Inbox or from Trash
it not visible in client program, but this
mail messages store on the cyrus-imapd server.
2) In e-mail client I dont creat subfolder (e-mail
client Mozilla-1.6),
3) when I send e-mail message - e-mail message go out,
but e-mail client (Mozilla-1.6) say (in 2-nd and 3-rd
case):
The cyrrent command did not succeed. The mail server
responded: Permission denied.
Accordingly, in e-mail client not create subfolder

Is there a way to solve this? What were you upgrading to 5.2.1 from. If it was 5.1 or older, then there were serious problems if you tried to do an installworld from the older kernel. The upgrade to 5.2+ worked if you booted to single user mode on the new 5.2+ kernel and then did the installworld. You can find some of the solutions in the archive of -current. IIRC, people were able to use the fixit cd, boot from it, and finish the system installation. The other choice I remember is to do a clean 5.2.1 install.

The cd has one directory with a lot of subdirectories and files. Is there a command that I can copy everything at once? If so what is it?

Seems to me (in this case) it could be as simple as: cp -Rp /cdrom/ /home/jerry/ Like I said: TIMTOWTDI. However, I tend not to think of cp(1) in the first instance because historically it tended to do nasty things, like turn sym-links into real files. Of course, the cp(1) in the system today is much better behaved than that, and your suggestion certainly does have merit. There is still this caveat in the cp(1) man page: Note that cp copies hard linked files as separate files. If you need to preserve hard links, consider using tar(1), cpio(1), or pax(1) instead. but that is unlikely to be anything that affects the OP -- I'm not even sure if the iso9660 filesystem on CD Roms even supports hard links.

Re: startssl at boot time
This is right ??? the reason i ask is because apache does not start on a
reboot no ssl or even regular apache. here is the log output of an
apache stop then apache start using the script listed below when i use
apache start only regular apache starts so i then have to issue the
apache startssl command.

FreeBSD Internet NIC is : 12.103.20.x When I type ifconfig my NIC looks fine, up and running : rl0 : 12.103.20.x For information the freebsd box contains 2 NIC's one for Internet the other for the LAN (192.168.1.1) If I ping myself no problem everything's fine, but I can't ping a web address. I don't know if it is possible under unix but I use to ping www.yahoo.com for example to know if it's well connected. But the best proof is when I try to install samba my freebsd gives a time out reaching the samba server on the web I have setup a firewall_type=OPEN because i'm still testing but I also setup natd and gateway variables in the rc.conf file to what is needed up to majority of websites about firewall and gateways with Freebsd. I also rebuilt the kernel up to those websites wich was fine, and I created a natd.conf file. One more thing I think I didn't use the Domain variable when I set up the NIC from sysinstall don't know if it's important!

The provider only has M$-Window$ software provided, and this works now with a single computer. I want to replace this M$-Window$ computer by a FreeBSD router, to start a home network. I am at a loss what to do with the USB internet connection? I know how to get a router set up with RJ-45 cables and two ethernet cards. But can FreeBSD handle a USB internet connection? Hints how to deal with this, are highly appreciated. What is the device? There are at least four in the 5.X GENERIC kernel: It's a Eminent 10/100 MBps USB network adaptor, provided by ISP. This is a small 'mouse-sized' box which has a RJ45 cable and jack at one end, and the USB-cable at the other. It connects a modem (RJ45 plug) with the USB port of the computer. I have never used USB before, so I don't know what device this represents. Any ideas? I'm having trouble finding out much about this device, too. Looks like you can buy 'em in Europe, but I see few listings here in the US. I did find a fifth driver; rue(4). You can man 4 name of driver to get a list of supported chipsets and models. Emiment isn't mentioned, but if you can figure out what chipset (i.e., maybe if the device isn't glued together? ;-) you might be able to use one of the drivers from FreeBSD. Kids, don't try this at home I actually wonder, whether I should put a LAN card in the FreeBSD system and connect that directly with the modem via a RJ45 cable, and leave the USB adaptor out of the story. But would that work? This would probably work from a hardware standpoint, but you'd probably have to call the ISP and ask them if you need to reconfigure the thing. You might just try cabling NIC to DSL box, have the NIC set to DHCP in /etc/rc.conf, and see what happens. But you're at your own risk I have some customers around here with cable modems with both RJ45 and USB connectors. For most of the home users, you just set stuff DHCP and the modem handles the stuff. For the business setups, you must contact the ISP and bind the static IP to the MAC addy of the hardware in question.

Re: Connect to Internet
Ok I tried like you said Kevin to do a traceroute on 12.103.21.1 wich is what ISP call default gateway. It didn't work, the result looked like this : 1 * * * 2 * * * 3 * * * 4 * * * etc I wasn't patient enough for the fifth one! So I looked in resolv.conf and there was the IP of a DNS server : 12.127.17.83. I know this one works because I'm using it under windows currently. I decided to try this command : route add default 12.103.21.1 and maybe I was wrong, but I put this address also in the resolv.conf file before the other DNS entry. Then I rebooted and Traceroute and same results.. 1 * * * 2 * * * 3 * * * 4 * * * etc what do you think ? - Original Message - From: Kevin D. Kinsey, DaleCo, S.P.

Please see the section in the Handbook 2.5.3 Install a Boot Manager. The boot menu will display the partitions named by partition type (FreeBSD, Linux, DOS, ??). All partitions will be listed, not just the ones that are bootable. It's very easy to use if you know what your partitions are. It's amazing that they were able to fit a general purpose boot manager into only 512 bytes! Chapter 7 of the Handbook The FreeBSD Booting Process describes this in excruciating detail.

The modification to the apache2.sh script I sent you last time sould force that script to always run 'apachectl startssl' itself, so that shouldn't be the problem. Hmmm... I think that perhaps the problem arises from when the apache2.sh script is run. I'm guessing that the 'Seeding PRNG' line is significant -- it aparently means that there is no random data yet available from /dev/random at the point when apache is started up in the boot sequence. As you're running 4.9, that can be cured by telling the system to use some appropriate IRQs as sources of randomness. First run: % vmstat -i and look for the IRQs where there are a lot of interrupts generated. Not the 'clk' or 'rtc' interrupts, as those are clock ticks, firing at regular intervals, which is worse than useless as a source of randomness. I find that irq12 (psm0 -- the mouse), irq1 (atkbd0 -- the keyboard), irq11 (mux -- multiplex: but this is network activity mostly) and irq15 (mux -- multiplex again, but disk activity mostly) work well for me, but you will have to choose 2 or 3 or 4 suitable IRQs on your own system to harvest for randomness. Then add them to /etc/rc.conf rand_irqs=1 11 12 15 Then reboot. (See rndcontrol(8) for more details) With luck, and a following wind, there will be sufficient system activity during startup that there will be sufficient random data available to prime the PRNG used by OpenSSL, which should let apache start up automatically.

But the standard boot sector will not boot to disk 1. Quoting from the Handbook: If you only have one operating system installed on your disks then the standard MBR will suffice. This MBR searches for the first bootable slice on the disk, and then runs the code on that slice to load the remainder of the operating system. If you have installed multiple operating systems on your disks then you can install a different MBR, one that can display a list of different operating systems, and allows you to choose the one to boot from. FreeBSD comes with one such MBR which can be installed, and other operating system vendors also provide alternative MBRs. What's confusing about the process is that there doesn't seem to be a common name for the FreeBSD MBR. In sysinstall it is called BootMgr. In the booting section of the handbook and a few man pages it is called boot0. It's also commonly referred to as Boot Easy.

Instead I followed Greg Lehey's advice and the instructions here: http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/replacing-drive.html and it all went fine. There's a note on that page about a a bug [that] will cause the state to be incorrect, but I didn't run into it. My steps were: - install the new disk - fdisk it with /stand/sysinstall - edit the partition table with disklabel to match the partitions on the good disk - create a config file -- vinum.newdisk: drive vinumdisk2 device /dev/ad2s1d - run 'vinum create vinum.newdisk' - then 'vinum start data.p1.s0' # etc... Worked great. - Rob ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Gnome 2.6 on FreeBSD 4.8?
Greetings, I noticed that Gnome 2.6 is not supported on FBSD 4.8. Has anyone tried running the upgrade script on 4.8 yet? What is the reason it is not supported? (Other than forcing folks to upgrade...) Are there any workarounds or hacks to get Gnome 2.6 play nicely with 4.8?

Fun with IPSEC and racoon - 5.2.1
Hi I've been having some fun with IPSEC, owing to the need to put in a VPN between two offices. At the far end, they've got a PIX, and I was pretty sure I could do this end with one of out FreeBSD boxen. As an experiment, I set up IPSEC (with keying provided by Racoon) between my (linux) desktop and that FreeBSD machine. That worked Just Fine. The problem comes in when I look at upgrading said BSD system, because it's running 5.0 (which doesn't get security patches any more). I installed a 5.2.1 system onto another box and tried setting up IPSEC with that. If I use fixed keys, it just goes, but I want to use IKE. I set up Racoon, copied the configuration files from the 5.0 system (just changing the IP addresses, where necessary, in /etc/ipsec.conf and /usr/local/etc/racoon/psk.txt - I'm using remote anonymous and sainfo anonymous for the policy side), and it all falls apart. Racoon on the FreeBSD box is seeing the requests from the Linux box, and is even trying to reply (it finds the psk fine, and has matching policies... I just didn't want to send a 200kB message to the list): 2004-04-08 13:03:22: DEBUG: isakmp.c:233:isakmp_handler(): === 2004-04-08 13:03:22: DEBUG: isakmp.c:234:isakmp_handler(): 248 bytes message received from 192.168.64.11[500] 2004-04-08 13:03:22: DEBUG: plog.c:193:plogdump(): f0d2ae69 5ade7e65 01100400 00f8 0438 0001 0001 002c 01010001 0024 0101 800b0001 800c0708 80010003 800e0080 80030001 80020002 80040002 0a84 90b40fd2 73a3bde7 0acda739 d25f5e4f 2de19c28 8706b90e 003124a8 a79f623a 2e8b4e87 0f530078 a764c19f da248b1a 7ca14ee2 d69eea3e 704ae549 ba5bf17c e500f3b4 d6d276a1 2d28113d 15126a7c d5c88dae 51677cc0 a9163f94 ab85e40c 07018d52 5a26e94e bb907a98 60a2ce4e d650041e 7ba4f24b 8d04162f ecadc334 0514 e8b263da 7af58acd 53483a50 a1eeac28 000c 011101f4 c0a8400b 2004-04-08 13:03:22: DEBUG: sockmisc.c:421:sendfromto(): sockname 192.168.64.57[500] 2004-04-08 13:03:22: DEBUG: sockmisc.c:423:sendfromto(): send packet from 192.168.64.57[500] 2004-04-08 13:03:22: DEBUG: sockmisc.c:425:sendfromto(): send packet to 192.168.64.11[500] 2004-04-08 13:03:22: DEBUG: sockmisc.c:570:sendfromto(): 1 times of 292 bytes message will be sent to 192.168.64.11[500] 2004-04-08 13:03:22: DEBUG: plog.c:193:plogdump(): f0d2ae69 5ade7e65 3985e317 abd11318 01100400 0124 0438 0001 0001 002c 01010001 0024 0101 800b0001 800c0708 80010003 800e0080 80030001 80020002 80040002 0a84 9768f72c 8fde3908 8d3be8f3 40dc9a91 7b325db4 c01b86d1 716c9204 00f8de18 889d4e17 b3bafb06 e78464e7 3069fdb7 205a1b00 ffc2723e 71041732 aac71674 e7a912bc 100e8085 d76a68c3 b37b726e eda22ef9 970816fa 74ada197 f75ea520 0c07ccc9 6e5d0f18 02f62bc1 09b04085 e96e14ec d1cb304b 1debaa26 c419177d 0514 9cd6bc28 574b425c 3b81d9ba 9e82df8c 080c 011101f4 c0a84039 0d18 114f7a51 920f11e0 a2615a22 2ba6d7c2 5fdbfedc 0014 7003cbc1 097dbe9c 2600ba69 83bc8b35 2004-04-08 13:03:22: NOTIFY: isakmp.c:267:isakmp_handler(): the packet is retransmitted by 192.168.64.11[500].

jail setup
Hello, I'm setting up a jail under 5.2.1 to run pure-ftpd in. I did the following: cvsupped the source cd /usr/src make world DESTDIR=/usr/jail/ftp cd etc make distribution DESTDIR=/usr/jail/ftp then linked /dev/null to kernel inside the jail area. I'm following an onlamp article at: and understood that sendmail and perl and some other items would be available. When i do a pkg_info from within the jail there aren't any packages. did i miss a step? Is there something i should have installed to make this go easier? Thanks.
