strange php/apache/bsd behavior with file uploads
I actually do not have root access to the server in question, so my ability to give details is very limited. The server in question is a BSD webserver which has php installed as both a module of apache, and available as a cgi process. The behavior normally is that image uploads to /home/user/public_html/images/ are uploaded via the php copy() function and placed in this images directory with mode 755. This particular functionality has performed without fail for 3 years ot more. Now, suddenly (the ISP who runs the server claims absolutely no configuration changes) the images are being placed in the directory with mode 600. The php script, in this case, is run as a cgi process so that the file is uploaded by the owner, and thus is allowed ability to place an image in this directory. Historically this functionality did not work using php as an apache module because the apache server's userid does not have permission to do this. This is the only cryptic clue I got from the ISP: We believe that error causes running under cgiwrap, with a umask of 022 to halt and anything happening after that point will be running under straight php which is to say www, which has a umask of 177 (because it comes from root's umask), which is exactly what you were seeing. I used the php chmod() function to successfully work around the problem, but I want to know *why* this suddenly happened? I think it could possibly be either a bug or a security issue, something to do with suexec or the cgi php config? Update: last night suddenly everything started working again, that is images uploaded using php copy() and *not* using php chmod() uploaded images with 755 mode. So I wrote and asked them how they fixed the problem. This was their response: Because of a system security problem, a patch was applied and all our BSD systems rebuilt at midnight Tuesday. As we said before, we found no problem with the system, and its configuration has not been changed. It is our opinion that permissions on files created under php, are not defined unless either the umask or the chmod command is employed to specifically set them. If you are having a problem related to our systems, please let us know. It seems like these guys don't really know what they are talking about. Can anyone hazard some theories on what might have happened and why the security patch they applied with a reboot fixed it? thank you in advance for any light you can shed on this, despite the lack of information I can give about the system in question. -Robert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Configure ssh to behave like rsh. How?
Hi, I have a cluster of PCs, on which the 'slaves' used to only allow rsh connections, to execute commands, but no logins. I have removed the r-commands, and want to use the ssh command family instead. Although 'ssh slaveN command' works fine, this also allows login to the slave PC, simply by typing 'ssh slaveN'. How can I configure sshd, so that it will allow remote command execution, but will refuse logins?

Re: What's the best possible email failover solution
Hi Bill, I know how to set up failover with a backup MX. That's not what I'm looking for. We have a cyrus-imap server with lots of users connecting via IMAP, while everything gets backed up, this only happens once a night. Thus, if the server were to go up in smoke right before the backup occurred, we'd lose something like 23 hours worth of emails. have you thought of using distributed filesystems like afs or intermezzo? I did some research on this a few years ago and at that time they were way off from using in a production environment. But they improved certainly and perhaps it's exactly what you're looking for. -volker ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Boot0 configuration question...
Greetings, list! I have a question regarding my boot0 setup. First, let me lay out my harddrive topology: Onboard Serial ATA RAID controller -- 1 HDD, 120 GB all in one slice. FreeBSD resides on this. Onboard Secondary IDE controller -- 1 HDD, 20 GB all in one slice. Home of WinXP. On the 120 GB disk, I have installed the boot0 bootmanager. It provides the following output on startup: F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 1 Now, the thing is, regardless of whether I press F1 or F5, it always ends up booting the FreeBSD drive (the one on the Serial ATA controller). What can I do to make it boot from the other one? Can I at all? The alternatives are entering the BIOS and manually changing the disks' boot priorities - which is kinda awkward - or installing a different bootmanager. Both alternatives are not tempting, both because I like simplicity, and because I don't know what complications (if any) my running FreeBSD/amd64 might introduce into the installation of another bootmanager. Any and all help will be appreciated. -Henrik W Lund ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Scroll to the bottom of the file until you find this statement.

You are going to change this line by adding the -m 2=3 option in
front of the -p option so it looks like this

Strange Files Created, FSCK problems: how to deal without single user mode (/unmounting disc)?
Dear all, Today I found out (due to my backup process failure) that some strange files were created on a users dir. Specifically: --wx--s-wx 16217 1062905872 13116693781061708166 Jan 1 1970 .irssi b---rwx--x 16240 rootwheel 174, 0x3f590067 Jan 1 1970 .mc These entries were supposed to be directories, but somehow they changed to something else. I tried to remove them: rm .irssi override -wx--s-wx 1062905872/1311669378 sappnd,arch,schg,uappnd,opaque for .irssi? y rm: .irssi: Operation not permitted rm .mc override ---rwx--x root/wheel schg,uappnd,nodump for .mc? y rm: .mc: Operation not permitted Without success! I fscked the disc (note that his is an active disc with many users) and the report is located at the end of this email. Because the disc is read-write active changed are not written on the disc. My questions: 1) Have you got any clue how a healthy IDE disc can cause and corrupt files on the file system? 2) How can I fix the problem WITHOUT rebooting or without UNMOUNTING the discs? If I fsck and instruct to actually fix the errors, will they be fixed, or it might crash corrupt the whole file system? 3) How serious is this problem?

Ipmon works fine but seems to stop logging entries to the security logfile when it is rotated. newsyslog.conf sets mode to 700, which should be fine since ipmon is run as root (i think?)

Re: Boot0 configuration question...
On Fri, 25 Jun 2004 12:06:44 -0700, Henrik W Lund [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Greetings, list! I have a question regarding my boot0 setup. First, let me lay out my harddrive topology: Onboard Serial ATA RAID controller -- 1 HDD, 120 GB all in one slice. FreeBSD resides on this. Onboard Secondary IDE controller -- 1 HDD, 20 GB all in one slice. Home of WinXP. On the 120 GB disk, I have installed the boot0 bootmanager. It provides the following output on startup: F1 FreeBSD F5 Drive 1 Now, the thing is, regardless of whether I press F1 or F5, it always ends up booting the FreeBSD drive (the one on the Serial ATA controller). What can I do to make it boot from the other one? Can I at all? The alternatives are entering the BIOS and manually changing the disks' boot priorities - which is kinda awkward - or installing a different bootmanager. Both alternatives are not tempting, both because I like simplicity, and because I don't know what complications (if any) my running FreeBSD/amd64 might introduce into the installation of another bootmanager. The FreeBSD bootloader should be installed on *both* hard drives. This will boot WinXP, but will show it in the boot menu as ??? If you prefer a boot manager that allows you to easily enter the names of the OSs you are booting, you might try GAG (URL: http://gag.sourceforge.net/).

Re: Strange Files Created, FSCK problems: how to deal without single user mode (/unmounting disc)?

Misc hardware glitches would be the most common. Folks with admin rights doing things they shouldn't also occurs. I've seen NFS leave files in weird states on occasion, but I've never been able to reproduce the problem. 2) How can I fix the problem WITHOUT rebooting or without UNMOUNTING the discs? a) You can't unless you're using 5.x and can run background fsck. b) Since you ran fsck while the disk was mounted, those might not even be real errors, but just inconsistencies due to the filesystem being in use during the fsck. If I fsck and instruct to actually fix the errors, will they be fixed, or it might crash corrupt the whole file system? Don't run fsck on a mounted filesystem. (Exception, you can run background fsck). If you run fsck on a mounted filesystem, all bets are off. 3) How serious is this problem? Should I start worrying, even though nothing else strange exist? Last time I had a problem like this, I unmounted the fs, took 15 minutes to fsck it, remounted it and went back to work ... I'm still using that filesystem today (many months and many gigs later).

ARP / Cisco Router Wierdness
This morning while attempting to replace a server with a new machine (same IP address, the old machine was unplugged), The Cisco 2600 router's arp table continued to point to the old DNS server's MAC address. Even after rebooting the new server (Freebsd 5.2.1), the MAC address remained unchanged in the router. The router continued to point to the old machine's MAC address. I updated the entry manually in the router and all was well. But I am concerned that Freebsd is not announcing it's MAC address when the machine or interface comes up.

It has 3 on-board NICs that are identified as Intel 82559 Pro/100 Ethernet by the kernel during boot (which agrees with adlink's datasheet for this device).

Re: ARP / Cisco Router Wierdness
This behavior is consistent with most IOS based routers I've worked around, they typically hold onto an ARP entry for about 20 minutes before expiring it. On linux I've used a network utility called send_arp that can shoot a user specified gratuitous arp packet at another host on the same layer2 network. I'm sure there are other tools available to do the same from freebsd (if you don't have administrative access to the cisco to clear the arp cache). I'm not sure if I like cisco routers by default being willing to accept an arp response that it didn't request, but that's a different issue.

strange pw behaviour
Hi questions-list, I'm experiencing some strange behaviour when using pw on a 4.9-STABLE system to add and modify a group within a virtual server running inside a jail as described in the jail man-page. I'm running these commands from a script: pw groupadd newgroup -g 1010 -V /path/to/jail/etc/ pw groupmod newgroup -m www -V /path/to/jail/etc/ chroot /path/to/jail/ apachectl graceful Just like I'm expecting, I get a new entry in /etc/group within the jail looking like this: newgroup:*:1010:www and httpd gracefully restarted from apachectl. Now I would expect that apache should be able to access directories owned by group newgroup with chmod 750 set. This is not the case. Investigating further, I used vipw to give a shell to user www and used su to become www. When I try to enter the directory in question I get Permission denied. Now for the funny part: Back as user root I'm using vi to edit /etc/group by hand and simply move the new entry to another line within the group file, have apache do another graceful restart and everything works fine! su'ing to user www and cd'ing to the directory in question also works as expected. What am I getting wrong here? Why do I need to modify the /etc/group file by hand before this works? Any hints would be appreciated.

The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information.

Weird upload performance problems with proftpd
I'm having some really weird performance problems with proftpd-1.2.10 on FreeBSD 4.10 (in a jail) that I just can't seem to figure out. My uplink here maxes out at about 35k/sec. If I scp to the machine in question I get about 30k/sec (which is expected) but when I ftp, I never get anything better than 15k/sec, and occasionally as low as 8k/sec. Using a server colocated at another facility, I can ftp at about 45k/sec, and scp at about 60k/sec. Downloads are all as expected ... scp and ftp downloads seem to be in about the same range, and it's a number I would expect. I tried running the ftp daemon that ships with FreeBSD, and it exhibited the same performance issues. Most settings on this machine are at their defaults. I've tried tweaking send/recv sizes, as well as toggling delayed_ack. None of these have made any difference so far. Suggestions? -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Since you can ping the other computers on the LAN, we can assume your computer is configured for the LAN, and is just missing the information needed to send and receive packets to/from the internet. This assumes that your computer isn't blocked by a firewall. If your computer receives a dynamic IP address, talk to the person who administers the DHCP server. dhclient should receive all the information it needs to configure your network automatically. If your computer has a static IP address on the LAN, you need to manually designate the gateway computer and nameservers. If the gateway computer's IP address is 192.168.0.1, you can execute the following on the command line as root: route add default 192.168.0.1 Add the following to /etc/rc.conf to establish the gateway at bootup: defaultrouter=192.168.0.1 Nameserver information is stored in /etc/resolv.conf. I don't think /etc/resolv.conf exists when the system is initially installed, so you'll need to create it: touch /etc/resolv.conf Then add the search domain and nameserver IP address to the file. My file looks like this: search cablelynx.com nameserver 24.204.0.4 24.204.0.5 You'll need to use information that is specific to your ISP.

OT: Cable management
Hey all, I need to come up with a good solution for managing cables. Basically, I've got a $500 budget, and about 26 systems to deal with. I have ten wires that I'll be dealing with. The PC sits on top of the desktop, and cables are fed through a hole in the desk to a power strip on the ground. All the peripherals are also on the desk, and those wires are haphazardly spilling out behind the computer. I know my verbal description won't necessarily help too much when it comes to picking a solution, but I'd like to hear what products and solutions any of you use. Any ideas will be helpful.

A few X questions (small X load for small drive needed)
Hi, I just loaded XFree86-4 from the ports tree on my laptop, running 5.2.1-RELEASE. It took about 2.5 gigs of space to compile and add it all. Let's say I have a small hard drive in an old laptop, and let's also assume that I am just loading X to just have a simple GUI to run opera and terminal windows on, and don't need a big fancy X server or whatever ... What are some options I can add to the standard `make install` command for that port to significantly reduce the size of X ? Any general comments on making a smaller/faster/more efficient X for an old laptop are greatly appreciated. thanks. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Did you do a # make clean in your /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 directory after installation? This should reduce dik space significntly. Regards, Uli. Any general comments on making a smaller/faster/more efficient X for an old laptop are greatly appreciated. thanks. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: can't mount 300G USB drive that's FAT32

They needed to be writen to by a linux server but they want to be able to take these and just plug them into a windows server if need be. We knew that linux writing ntfs wasn't a good choice so we decided on FAT32. Is there a better solution? Not that you apparently use but my experience is limited on the FreeBSD end. NTFS was designed to support larger drives that were real problems with the FAT design. NTFS used something like a Unix FS and that eliminated the dependancy on FAT. It also introduced real security to their file system but that doesn't matter because we can't write to NTFS.

I was going to mount both and just copy from one to the other. After reading about the limited writing capabilities in the man page of mount_ntfs I'm wondering if I would be better off doing this on a linux box. If you ask me, you'd be better off using UFS, which doesn't have any of the weirdnesses or limitations of FAT _or_ NTFS. The linux box that created the origional backup onto the USB drive had no problem creating the Fat32 filesystem and writing to it. Horay for Linux. If you really need to put FAT filesystems on these drives, you're not going to be able to use FreeBSD until the limitation is fixed. The other thing is that the cluster size must be huge. Fat32 was supposed to start being inefficient around 8GB and this is well beyond that :).

2. Try Kernel compiling..makefile stops because of some warnings
Hello I tried to compile a new kernel from my 5.1 bsd cd. Config and make depend worked well, but make stops and print out some warnings about unused functions in npx.c (or something else). I searched in the newsgroup and found some similar postings to this subject It seems to me, that the problem appears when the RealTek pci NIC device is included in the config file. Someone wrote in the newsgroup, that gcc works with the wrong compiler flags, that means that the compiler stops at warnings, but he didn`t mention how the solve this problem or how to change the flags. Any suggestions? My Hardware is a d-link nic and the ensoniq 1370 soundcard, the other stuff is very common. The MYKERNEL configfile is attached to this email. Hope you can help me.

The above works, albeit in a weird kinda way. After installing the boot0 boot manager on the other drive as well, I get the prompt one more time when I select to boot from the other drive - which is what I'd expect. Now, what I did not expect is that if I set the FreeBSD drive as drive 0 in the BIOS, I am still unable to boot WinXP. The boot manager comes up, I select Drive 1, it prompts me again and I select the '???' entry (WinXP) - and the machine reboots. Selecting FreeBSD at the first invocation of boot0 gets me into FreeBSD alright. However, setting the WinXP drive as drive 0 in the BIOS things work flawlessly. At the first invocation of boot0, WinXP boots up if I select '???'. If I select Drive 1, and the second invocation of boot0 appears and I select 'FreeBSD' - it boots FreeBSD!! Is this some weirdness of the BIOS? That the onboard IDE controllers are somehow inherently preferred, and that weirdness occurs if drives on any other controller are set to drive 0? It beats me, maybe one of you guys know.

FreeBSD Port: mozilla-1.6_4,2
Hi, I have a general question about how to configure mozilla. I personally like to use a window manager like ion. GNOME is very beautiful but I usually do not need all of the additional applications and overhead. I usually install X, ion and Mozilla. The big problem that I am having (and why I am making this post) is that when I configure the system in this fashion Mozilla does not look very good. If I install GNOME everything looks great. I can even run mozilla from ion and it looks great. I have played around with fonts, etc. but it has never had any big impact. I have found that installing the bitstream-vera fonts help. Does anybody have an explanation of what is going on here ? Are there some key libraries from GNOME that I need to compile mozilla with ? I would be very interested in any feedback. I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1, Mozilla 1.6_4.2 and GNOME2-2.6.1.

setting a disk read only
Hi, Is it possible to setting a *whole* disk read only? I mean the way linux does it with hdparm -r 1 device. So adding an -o ro parameter to mount isn't enough, I want to be sure that the disk is unmodified. (I have to access an existing raid of 8 disks using vinum without any modified bit, because of the highly sensitive data. Any idea doing this absolutely securely is welcome too) Thanks, Viktor. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sendmail permission problems
I am having problems with a Perl based application (Bugzilla 2.16.5) that uses Sendmail. I recently upgraded from Sendmail version 8.9.3 to 8.12.10 and am using FreeBSD 5.2.1-Release.
