Problems with UDMA harddisks
Hi! I hope somebody on this list has another good idea, I haven't thought of yet: I have a machine that came with two Excel Stor 40 GB (Ganymede) UDMA/100 harddisks. To install FreeBSD 4.10 I had to disable UDMA in the BIOS, otherwise they wouldn't have booted (some complaint about ata0). Of course I wish to get UDMA working, since this is said to improve perfomance significantly. I checked if the UDMA cable is plugged into the correct places for mainboard, master and slave - this is o.k. . Are there any other things (bios settings, kernel modules, magic chants,...) I could try?

solved amavisd-new and postfix issue
Hello, My thanks to everyone who has helped me over these past few days. I did a total reinstall and clean configuration of postfix and amavisd-new, i did not get the error about the dictionaries again, but this time i got a message from amavisd: denied access to 192.168.0.3 for some reason amavisd likes it when postfix is bound to all IP's, switched the inet_interfaces parameter and it appears to be working. I'm going to give it a day or two before doing anything else with it, i want to ensure everything works before i start doing more and catch up on some other projects gone neglected over the past couple of days. As for the original dictionary problem i don't have a clue, a fluke, an extra space? Or just my luck? Anyway, my thanks to everyone.

RE: IPFW acting weird OR invalid ruleset?
steve, Yes everything else seems to work fine. There are currently 2 PCs with this issue. 1 is XP the other is Win2k. This ruleset worked fine on FreeBSD 5.1, but I reformatted the box, and install 5.2.1 uploaded the rc.firewall.rules and natd.conf files, since the network interfaces where the same I didn't really have to change anything. Ok... so reading the ruleset the traffic will behave (referring to your rc.firewall): Outgoing FTP session is passed first by rule 04109 (with a keep-state) and then by 61001 (without a keep-state). So, will the returning traffic get passed by the check-state on the way back in?... I'm not sure, possibly. Also, funny that it works for 5.1 and not 5.2.1, which implies bugs. The general consensus from my Steve's response is we don't understand the ruleset. Using skipto just to divert to natd and pass outgoing traffic does seem overly complicated and I've not seen anyone else use that approach. Maybe I am missing some advantage that it gives you. I figure you have two approaches to solve this: 1) If you want to debug the current ruleset add logging to the deny rules and check where the traffic is being dropped. If it is the ruleset at fault then the traffic MUST be being dropped by it on one of the rules. Remember logging is your friend. Or 2) There may be some benefit to re-writing the ruleset in a format you personally understand rather than using a template. Your general approach to firewall ruleset should be: a) First section contains any anti-spoofing and then rules to divert traffic going via the outside interface to natd and to check-state b) Second section to allow/deny traffic directly to the firewall. c) Then a section to allow the incoming services to your site. You should then end this section with something like deny all traffic coming in via my external interface as unless you specifically want the traffic you should drop it d) Then a section to permit the required traffic out from your site. You should end this section with something like deny log all traffic as if you haven't specified it to pass, it shouldn't. Then you can refine this approach by adding deny rules without logging to only log what's required and pick up on traffic that you should be passing but you are not. I'm afraid it's very difficult to be specific on writing firewall policy as it will be unique to your needs but I hope that general approach will help. Tools like /usr/ports/security/fwbuilder (home www.fwbuilder.org) can help in generating policy but the install features for IPFW are not quite working. I have posted a script to help with this previously. Thanks, Phil. I found these rules on this website: http://www.lugbe.ch/lostfound/contrib/freebsd_router/ here is the sample I used from the website: # be quiet and flush all rules on start -q flush # allow local traffic, deny RFC 1918 addresses on the outside add 00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0 add 00110 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 add 00120 deny ip from any to any not verrevpath in add 00301 deny ip from 10.0.0.0/8 to any in via ep0 add 00302 deny ip from 172.16.0.0/12 to any in via ep0 add 00303 deny ip from 192.168.0.0/16 to any in via ep0 # check if incoming packets belong to a natted session, allow through if yes add 01000 divert natd ip from any to me in via ep0 add 01001 check-state # allow some traffic from the local net to the router # SSH add 04000 allow tcp from 192.168.1.0/24 to me dst-port 22 in via ep1 setup keep-state # ICMP add 04001 allow icmp from 192.168.1.0/24 to me in via ep1 # NTP add 04002 allow tcp from 192.168.1.0/24 to me dst-port 123 in via ep1 setup keep-state add 04003 allow udp from 192.168.1.0/24 to me dst-port 123 in via ep1 keep-state # DNS add 04006 allow udp from 192.168.1.0/24 to me dst-port 53 in via ep1 # drop everything else add 04009 deny ip from 192.168.1.0/24 to me # pass outgoing packets (to be natted) on to a special NAT rule add 04109 skipto 61000 ip from 192.168.1.0/24 to any in via ep1 keep-state # allow all outgoing traffic from the router (maybe you should be more restrictive) add 05010 allow ip from me to any out keep-state # drop everything that has come so far.

The problem i have to solve is, how to convert the first encryption
type into the second encryption type without having the plaintext
password in between.
I don't think that's actually possible without knowing the plaintext
of the password. Besides, the standard system password is the md5
hash of a different quantity to the other md5 hash -- since the system
md5 password style includes that extra random salt and the other
apparently doesn't. That means that one encrypts 'salt + password'
and the other encrypts just 'password', so there isn't some sort of
mechanical format translation you can do to go from one to the other.
One alternative you might want to look at is if ProFTP+mod_sql
supports a {crypt} style of password. Now, that will probably default
to the old style DES password crypttext, but supposing that it passes
everything through to the system crypt(3) function, you might just be
able to use an md5 style crypt in there, which you can simply
cut'n'paste from the master.passwd file. You'll have to experiment.

Matthew

RE: vi / EAGAIN Problem
Sergey, I have submitted the problem to FreeBSD using the send-pr program, as Jonathan Chen asked me to. I will follow up here with some details for you though. Once the problem starts happening, it seems that I have to log off the system and log back in again to fix it. This usually (95% of the time) fixes the problem. It also only happens when I press a key - if I let vi sit there with a file loaded into it, it will not get the error no matter how long I wait. The problem only happens when I press a key, and not always the first one. I can usually work in vi for 10-15 seconds before the error comes up. Anyhow, I have submitted the bug report and the link to my ktrace is still up, so if anyone has any ideas about what could be causing this, I would love to hear from you. For now, my work-around is to just log off and back in again when it happens, but as you can imagine, that gets annoying in a big hurry.

I saw your previous post, and I'm not sure what's going wrong, but I thought I'd chime in with some guesses, since you're not getting other input. Did you add the users/groups to the jail, or to the host system? Make sure that the group file you added this to is the same group file that is being used by the program. For example, on one of my jail systems, I have /etc/group, which is pretty stock, and /jail/cgi-jail/etc/group, which has special groups for CGI clients, and /jail/frontpage/etc/group which has groups for clients who use frontpage ... etc. Make sure that ownerships show up properly in the environment you're using. For example, if you have a user wmoran with uid 1501 in the host system, then a user wmoran in the jail with uid 1427, you're going to find that the permissions don't work out right, because file permissions are based on uid, and the user name is just displayed to make it human-readable. Group IDs are similar. Administratively, it seems smarter to keep jailed filesystems completely seperate from host filesystems, as it makes filesystem permissions easier to not mess up. Don't access jailed filesystems from the host unless you're confident in your ability not to get confused. Have you looked at /etc/group (or whatever file is applicable) in a text editor to make sure everything is correct? The format is described in man group and is pretty easy to eye parse.

Have you tried changing the MTU of the FreeBSD box down to 1400 or so (or even 512), just to see whether that does anything? OK. I've had a bit of success here ... By setting the MTU down to ~650, I get the best performance I've seen with this setup (about 27k/sec ... which isn't too bad) I set SocketOptions maxseg 650 in the proftpd.conf file for now, which seems to help a good bit. Bingo, found something! All should be easy from here on out... :-) But I'm really confused. Why does reducing the MTU improve performance? I would have thought it would hurt performance by increasing the # of packets, thus increasing overhead. Using a smaller MTU normally does hurt performance, as you have to send more packets (as you've said) and because the overhead (ratio of packet header size to data size) becomes larger. However, using an MTU which is too big means packets have to be fragmented and reassembled, which slows things down a lot, too. Anyway, it is likely that one of the networks involved in the connection has a smaller MTU than normal, which means large data packets get fragmented, resulting in delays. FTP data connections tend to show this more than scp does, as the latter seems to vary the packet size more: perhaps a result of using compression/encryption within the SSH protocol. I did some captures using Ethereal, and I'm seeing a weird pause (with the MTU at the default) where the client will send three packets, there'll be a pause, then the ack comes back, then three packets, pause, ack ... That rings a bell. Are you using path MTU discovery? Is some firewall in place that might be blocking ICMP_UNREACH_NEEDFRAG messages (ICMP type 3, subtype 4)? You should try doing a traceroute which can do pMTU testing; I'm not sure whether the stock FreeBSD traceroute can do this, but a search ought to dig up something. Well ... this has turned up the weirdest stuff I've seen in a while! Seems like you're right about PMTU ... but the problem is pretty complex overall. The max PMTU seems to change periodically. It was around 800bytes early yesterday when I checked it. Then, late yesterday, when I was going to track down exactly where the problem was, the PMTU went up to the same MTU my cable connection uses, thus I couldn't use this connection for testing as I couldn't get packets out of it without them fragmenting. (on the flip side, it seems to be _my_ ISP that's rejecting ICMP packets, so I'll have to complain to them) Anyway ... your advice, in addition to a number of resource I found on the web by searching for PMTU, has isolated the problem.

Wireless client problems
Hi, I'm currently running fbsd 4.9 on a Toshiba Satellite 2405-S221. The problem I am having is that after I install and configure the wireless card, I observe no activity between the card and the cpu. I know for certain that my pccard slots are fully functional and that fbsd is loading the appropriate drivers, but I am puzzled with the lack of activity. To setup the client I used the example from the FBSD handbook, 20.3.3.4.1 minus all the WEP encryption crap: ifconfig wi0 ssid ssid goes here inet ip goes here netmask blah I choose the IP right off the top of my head, I simply make sure that the IP is not being used by any other machines on the network.

PMTUD, is it actually usable? (was Re: REPOST: Performance problems with FTP)
If you've been following this thread, you can probably guess the problem. If not, I'll summarize it briefly. I'm looking at a performance problem that appears to be caused by a combination of fragmented packets, and failure of PMTUD to work because of blocked/dropped ICMP packets. As I'm trying to track this down further, I'm getting hung up in that it appears as if so many systems are broken that I can't sort anything out. VERY few hosts seem to return ICMP messages when I ping with large packets, they seem to just silently drop the packet if the nofrag flag is set (either that or the ICMP messages are getting blocked). I'm trying this from a number of different locations, so I'm pretty sure it's not just this ISP. I wanted to see if anyone else was having a similar experience with PMTUD and debugging problems with it. I've been using hping (since the ping in 4.x does not yet support setting the nodefrag flag) to try to identify what providers are breaking the system, and (so far) I'm finding that PMTU doesn't work _anywhere_! Is my testing strategy invalid? Does anyone have any advice/suggestions/ war stories to aid me in determining how I should handle this? Should I just set the MTU on this server to 500 and give up on optimizing MTU sizes? -- 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]
Traffic shaping
I want to do traffic shaping with a FreeBSD firewall. The firewall uses IPF on FBSD 5.2.1-p8, and the only shaper I see in the ports is trickle. This doesn't even integrate into the firewall, so it would be useless to me for shaping traffic from other hosts on the protected network. Besides, I can't allocate bandwidth the way I want to. I basically want to be able to guarantee certain services a certain minimum level of bandwidth, but offering more if it is available. For example, I want WWW traffic to have at LEAST 50% of outgoing bandwidth under heavy load (leaving 50% for all other services). But I also want to guarantee that interactive sessions (ssh) have 10% of the bandwidth. (I'm just making these numbers up for this example.) That way, if I crank up, say, NNTP services on a client and start sucking large files from USENET, or if I start FTPing ISO images for the next FBSD release, I could still surf the web and ssh to my favorite offsite computers without much delay in response. Yet if I'm otherwise idle while NNTPing or FTPing, I can use the full bandwidth of my connection for the file transfers. I started looing at ALTQ, but wasn't sure how well it worked with FBSD. I'm not even sure if it can offer the kind of QoS shaping I want; I was more interested in if it even worked with FBSD. Are there any recommendations out there? Does anyone here have any experience with a FBSD QoS traffic shaper? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You will need to recompile your kernel if the option isn't there already. With DUMMYNET, you can specify traffic through certain ports or certain ips get X bandwidth, or you can have it intelligently divide bandwidth in that if no one else is using their allotment, you can borrow their. I don't have the full details on how to set it up as I have fully jumped off that bridge yet, but I am sure someone else on this list could give more detail answers to a finer grained question. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It can run x86 binaries but it's not fully back in x86 mode, and I think some of the x86 instructions are gone in 64-bit mode, so it has to emulate them somehow. From what I understand 32-bit binaries run slightly slower when the cpu is in 64-bit mode because of this. From what I've read, you can't make a kernel go back into normal x86 mode until you reboot. You probably know about all this better than I do, it's been a long time since I read any tech specs for the cpu.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. 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.

make buildworld: build changes only?
Hi, I'm keeping track of -STABLE on semi-regular basis. But when I cvsup to the latest sources and do make buildworld, it always starts to rebuild the world entirely from scratch. That's somewhat frustrating, especially if cvsup showed only a screenful of changes. Is it possible to rebuild these changes only? I know I could cd to the directory of each changed file and do a make install there, but that is of course not quite practical. I suppose this could be automated, since this was exactly the design principle of make: rebuild changed sources only. I know this might brake some dependencies in some cases, but I expect this to be rare. I could still do a full buildworld when necessary. Any suggestions?

Re: Converting crypted passwords
The whole point of md5 digests is that you can't recover the password
from it, you can only match it against the md5-sum of a given password.
So I guess you cannot convert it to other formats without knowing the

Make it 'mda /usr/local/bin/procmail -d %T' and it'll work fine. Without the -d paramater, procmail just appends the mail to your mbox, without inserting a From-line ontop.

Getting swap info without kvm access
I've written an Afterstep applet that retrieves and displays different time and system information. The Linux port uses a few functions like gmtime() and gethostname() and reads most of the info from /proc files. The FreeBSD port used the function calls and gets most of the info from sysctl() calls, except for the swap space. As written now, that info is retrieved with kvm_getswapinfo(). The problem is that that function requires access to /dev/mem which isn't available without sgid privileges. The current work-around is to display 0 for swap space if the applet is running un-privileged. I've searched and browsed the mailing lists, I've poured over the .h's, .c's, sysctl -a and man pages for weeks but I'm stumped. Is there some way to get total and either free or used swap space without using /dev/mem? If not, why is that one piece of info not available through a sysctl() call?

The manpage 'host.conf(5)' states: The host.conf file holds part of the configuration for the resolver of FreeBSD. It describes what services (e.g., DNS or yp(8)) the C library resolving routines (like gethostbyname(3)) will use, and their order of use, when resolving host names or addresses. Well that explanation sounds good to me. My /etc/host.conf file looks like this: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/host.conf,v 1.6 1999/08/27 23:23:41 peter Exp $ # First try the /etc/hosts file hosts # Now try the nameserver next. bind # If you have YP/NIS configured, uncomment the next line # nis Considering that 'hosts' is listed first, I would expect that any entries I add to /etc/hosts will take precedence over entries retrieved from bind. So, I added an entry to this file for a random IP-to-name mapping, and tested it with the 'host(1)' command, and it failed. When I enable debugging, it clearly shows that it's consulting the first nameserver listed in resolv.conf (an external host), no mention of a hosts file anywhere (or attempt to send a request to the local host). As an addition to this, the manpage 'hosts(5)' states the following: When using the name server named(8), this file provides a backup used when the name server is not running. Would someone please clarify this, as it seems to contradict my default 'host.conf(5)' file in /etc, which configures the resolver to consult /etc/hosts *before* bind (this behaviour is, of course, stated in the host.conf manpage). Additionally, what classifies as 'when the name server is not running' - does this mean that /etc/hosts is used when all the nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf are unavailable? (As I only use the local named(8) daemon to host my personal domain, not for everyday recursive lookups.) Or does it literally refer to when my local copy of named(8) is not in the process list?
