linux2BSD Big problem!
We are Trying to migrate a linux mail server to a FreeBsd server. We are using in the Linux mail server sendmail,qpopper drac, and the BSD server version 5.2.1 uses sendmail 8.13.1, qpopper 4.0.5 drac. All the aplications was installed by means of ports and work perfectly on bsd for the created local users with of adduser or similar. Well, the problems come when we tried to migrate the users of linux to bsd. We have copied the content of the /var/mail of linux to the /var/mail of bsd, watching which the file that contains the mail of each migrated user has the owner and adapted group, but cradled we tried to read the transferred mail from a server to another one, with qpopper we cannot. If with webmin we tried to see the content of the mail of the user it says to us that the user does not have mail in /var/mail. Remenber that the new mail users who we created directly in bsd they work fine!, we see that when creating a new user is created a file username.pop that is the one that contains the mail of the new users. Because our server of mail is it for several tens of domains also we have copied from the server linux to bsd the virtusertable, mailertable, etc. and executed makemap to regenerate access.db etc. The problem, we understand, is centered in the re-asociation in the server bsd of each user migrated to the file that contains its mail in /var/mail, also migrated, of the server linux that we have described before. Any suggestions? thkx a lot. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problems with fetch but not ftp in a jail?
I am having a strange problem with my home network. Here is what it looks like. Internet - FreeBSD Firewall/Natd box (guard) -- Local Net (192.168.100.0/24) | testsrv (192.168.100.12) |- testjail (192.168.10.1) Testjail is a jail (192.168.10.1) running under testsrv (192.168.100.12). Subnet 192.168.10.0/24 is routed to testsrv at the firewall. The nat stuff works fine for everything else. The problem is I cannot do this from testjail (passive mode is needed for my natd setup). fetch -p -v ftp://ftp.nl.freebsd.org/pub/README.nluug As you can imagine it is making it hard to install ports. I can do it from testsrv but not from within the jail. I can do a file transfer (of the same file in passive mode) just by using the ftp client from both testsrv and testjail. It looks to me, but checking the TCPdump output that it's just not requesting the data channel. (Or the data channel is not comming back) as it is able to establish the control channel fine. Has anyone else had some problems like this with fetch in a jail? I am using 5.2.1-RELEASE-p9 and ipfw/natd to do my nat on the firewall (a 4.9 box). -D p.s. I can post tcpdump output if needed. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: rcNG/rc_ng, using rcorder in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

I see that /etc/rc.d/localpkg is still skimming for *.sh and running

Correct. The rcorder method is used only for /etc/rc.d scripts. See:
$ grep -n rcorder /etc/rc

This will order the ${slist} list of scripts just before running them.
Note that this list will contain scripts from ALL the different

Re: reload rc.conf during boot process
On 2004-09-21 00:26, Markie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Is it possible to do this somehow?
I was trying my hand out at C and made a cool little menu for myself. It
looks for files in /etc/ which are named rc.conf.x and lists them in
the menu. Then, when you select one on boot, it copies the selected
configuration file to rc.conf. I put my program in... the rc.d mount
script, so that the disk is mounted writeable at the time and my C program
is able to issue cp (bad way I know) to replace rc.conf. After running my
program in the rc.d mount script I then did a
. /etc/rc.conf
but rc.conf doesn't get reloaded. The file is being copied over, as when I
reboot it starts using the copied over configuration. I am not sure if .
/etc/rc.conf is supposed to load a file in? I just saw it in some other
script and assumed that's what it was doing.
The /etc/rc script is a ``driver script'' that loads rc.conf before teh
mount script has a chance to run. Even if you reload rc.conf in the
mountd script this cannot affect the parent process that runs /etc/rc.
I believe a good way to do this would be to add a special script in
/etc/rc.d that depends on mountcritlocal that can give you the rc.conf
selection menu and then hack /etc/rc to reload rc.conf if this special
script runs and does indeed change `/etc/rc.conf'.
For instance, if you called your special rc.d script that presents the
rc.conf selection menu ``selectcf'' and saved it in /etc/rc.d, then you
could use something like this in /etc/rc to make sure it rereads rc.conf
if changes are made to rc.conf:

Hi, I don't know what the problem in your case is, but just a few thoughts: - make sure your linux box isn't providing NFSv4, as FreeBSD does only support for v2 and 3, - to test and whether the nfs server is receiving you use showmount -e lg, it's quicker - yes, you need a portmapper running on the client too and apparently you have, its that sunrpc thingy - read mount_nfs(8) ;) I hope that helps a bit..

Re: ssh/pam/postgres
What you probably could do is install nss_ldap (net/nss_ldap) and use your pgsql server as ldap backend db. If the burden of setting up a ldap server is too much, you could also use net/libnss-mysql, but that's MySQL not PostgreSQL.. Kind regards, Alex.

Re: vinum software raid as boot drive
On Sep 20, 2004, at 8:52 PM, Greg 'groggy' Lehey wrote: We could not find stated exactly anywhere, but we are presuming the description file that you use with vinum create becomes /etc/vinum.conf Well, you need to call it that. The name isn't critical, but it's a good choice. I use vinum only for a data volume. I've seen /etc/vinum.conf mentioned in the handbook and other documentation but didn't understand its use. Was under the impression that recent vinum stored this information in the headers on the drives? That it found its drives by reading the volume types off BSD partitions. Vinum in 5.2.1 often fails to remember its configuration on boot. But sometimes remembers on a cold boot. Would vinum printconfig /etc/vinum.conf help? When we execute vinum create it appears to work fine. The Devices are created in /dev/vinum/ and we can do a fsck -n -t ufs /dev/vinum/root which outputs no errors The problem is when we reboot the devices in /dev/vinum are destroyed ( presume this is normal behaviour ) but they are not created on boot. Take a look at http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html. It might help; otherwise supply the information asked for there. This is a problem I too have been having since 5.2.1, which was the first time I used vinum. Was only out of desperation, Its broken, everything is lost, did something wrong, lets start over that I re-ran vinum stripe -v /dev/ad4s1d /dev/ad6s1d and then on a lark rather than newfs I ran fsck and found my /dev/vinum/vinum0 intact! Sometimes vinum finds its configuration and boots. Then something changed and vinum behaved on 3 boots in a row. Had composed a lengthy email in answer to Greg's debugging checklist above. Was tricked into deleting it unsent. I think Beastie's last name might be Murphy. Upgraded to 5.3-BETA and developed a new problem: vinum causes a kernel panic when started from the rc scripts. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=71824 I suspect the issues are related because I always lose vinum configuration after a panic, but usually do not if I let the mount fail during boot (for lack of vinum_start=YES in /etc/rc.conf) and drop me into single user. Then vinum start and exit typed manually usually brings the system up. Drops me into single user again if vinum lost its configuration. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just tested that out and it seems to work, it didn't start up sshd with my
test config! I had a little problem(?) with rcorder though, I think. I
specified
# REQUIRE: mountcritlocal
and from what I read, I was expecting my script to come up somewhere very
near mountcritlocal, but it actually appeared after sendmail.. which is
miles away. I solved it for now by putting
# BEFORE: ipfilter
aswell, because really I want it always after mountcritlocal. I'm a bit
confused as to why with # REQUIRE: mountcritlocal it was being run so late.
Did I misread something?
Anyway! With the BEFORE line it works great! Exactly how I wanted it!
Thanks alot!!

Re: SCSI Shock Advice !
Hi, Thanks for replies, however I need advise on cloning the IDE to the SCSI disc. G4U did not finish correctly and once I had made changes to fstab and booted the fs I got some pretty severe errors. /usr was inaccessible and I ended up using Freesbie to re-edit fstab to get a booting system. I think the problem is that the SCSI disc is 38GB (only 1.7GB used) and the IDE is 40GB. What is the best / safest way to do a disk clone in this case? Don't use any of the cloning utilities (not even dd) because you are not trying to make an exact byte for byte clone, but rather a functional copy. That is quite different. The best thing is to create the new file systems eg slice (fdisk) partition (disklabel or bsdlabel in 5.xxx) and build the file system (newfs) and then mount the new file systems to a temporary mount mount and transfer each file system separately by running dump and restore. Note: To make a bootable copy you will need to put in an MBR when you do the fdisk to create the slice and a boot block when you do t the disklabel/bsdlabel when you do the partitioning. Don't leave those out. If you have room, you can run a dump to a file in spare space somewhere and then restore from that file. If you don't have the extra space, you can pipe a dump of the old fs to a restore to the new one. Make sure you cd in to the new file system before doing the restore whichever way you are doing it. This is covered pretty much in the man pages of dump and restore. But, say your SCSI is da0 and you created one slice and did the label/partitioning ok and newfs-ed all the partitions and now you want to put the old root on the new disk. cd / mkdir newroot mount /dev/da0s1a /newroot cd /newroot dump 0af - / | restore rf - Do the similar for each of the file systems you want/need to move over. That probably means all of them. When you are done, the only thing left to do, besides checking things out to make sure they look good is to modify the new copy of /etc/fstab so the devices to mount will now be da0s1.. instead of ad0s1.. You can also get rid of all the 'restoresymtable' files in each new filesystem. Restore uses those to keep track of itself and they are no longer needed once it has successfully completed. You should then be able to shuffle any disks and bios you need to to make the SCSI disk the boot device and then boot and run. jerry Thanks again Graham Custom PC North West Open Source Solutions http://www.cpcnw.co.uk ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: nis/yp question about password file
David Wolfskill wrote: can anybody tell what changed in nis/yp that it doesnt work as before anymore? PAM, perhaps? Ah well, I figured the problem out actually...

Somehow the 4.x freebsd version clients were connecting to the new one and the 5.x freebsd version clients were connecting to the old one... The old one had the old passwd file so 5.x versions showed the old data which seemed to be funnily wrong. Now when I disabled NIS server in the old 4.x FreeBSD master server I was using, everything came back to normal.

Pay special attention to /usr/src/UPDATING, repeat for 4.12, etc 5) Subscribe to FreeBSD-security. When a vuln is announced, recvsup to the RELENG_4_x and rebuild/reinstall Or simply follow the alert's patch instructions if it is unrelated to a kernel fix. A service or two would require to be restarted after being patched. 6) Step 5 can occasionally be skipped. For example, there were many sites that I had using FreeBSD that I didn't have to update when bind problems were fixed, because they weren't running DNS servers.

instalation problem (urgent)
I have a problem with FreeBSD instalation. I tried 5.3BETA5 5.2.1 and 4.9 all with the same result. When sysinstall starts i choose custom and proceed to creating the slice and partitions(only one slice and one partion plus swap). I tried two ways. I go to Partition, create the slice on the entire hard drive press q and choose BootMgr. Then i go to label and create my partion and swap. (in both these steps i dont write changes) I choose my distributions and them commit. When i press commit the computer instantly reboots without anything beeing done. After restart i see the slice and partitions but i cant install as get errors. The second way is to write changes when i make the slice and partitions. When making the slice there are no problems. I create it press w and get the message Wrote FDISK partition information out succesfully. Then i go to label and create the partion and swap. When i press w i get the message WARNING!

Hi Well as far as I can tell from the upgrading point of view it make no difference whether you're coming from 5.2.1 or 5.3. Well I have 5.3BETA running on several machines without any problems. If I were you, I would try both. Install 5.2.1 to see if this works and then upgrade 5.3BETA. If any problems come up just reinstall 5.2.1.

Re: ACPI not working for shutdown -p
Nope, still no go.

Re: How do I mount slices with no dev entry from fixit floppy?
I am making progress with my disk recovery, but I need to get to my /usr partition, which is mounted on /dev/ad0s1g. The dev entries on the fixit floppy don't have this slice listed, and there is no MAKEDEVS script to add it. Do you mean that ad0s1 is not in /dev? That would be the slice. Or do you mean no ad0s1g - which would be the partition inside the slice? Also, careful of your use of the word mounted. Nothing should be mounted on /dev/ad0s1g or there would be problems. But what you want is the partition at /dev/ad0s1g and you want to mount that on some mount point such as /mnt or maybe /oldusr if you can make that dir. How sure are you that your old /usr was in partition /dev/ad0s1g? Is it possible you are looking in the wrong place? I have not had to use the fixit disks so I am not sure of what all is included, but I would be surprised if there is no MAKEDEV script if it is for FreeBSD 4.xxx or older version. In 4.xxx and earlier, the MAKEDEV script is in /dev. You need to cd to /dev and then run './MAKEDEV ad0'.NOTE, the './' is necessary because MAKEDEV will not be in your path. But, in 5.xxx and later there is no MAKEDEV. If you are in 5.xxx version then you shouldn't need it. It is supposed to deal with it automagically. Try doing cd / mount /dev/ad0s1g /mnt cd /mnt ls What is there? If it is FreeBSD 5.xxx then maybe there is a bug if it cannot do the mount because /dev/ad0s1g is missing , but really exists on disk. If it is FreeBSD 4.xxx do cd /dev ./MAKEDEV ad0 or even./MAKEDEV ad0s1g and see what happens.

Was under the impression that recent vinum stored this information in the headers on the drives? That it found its drives by reading the volume types off BSD partitions. Yes, that's correct.

Then something changed and vinum behaved on 3 boots in a row. Had composed a lengthy email in answer to Greg's debugging checklist above. Was tricked into deleting it unsent.

When your dynamic IP changes...
For the most part, my cable system stays on 24x7, thus my IP address remains the same (often for the duration of a year). However there are times when unpredictable things happen, such as outages, that will cause your IP to change. I have a number of internal and external dependencies that rely upon this IP address. For the most part, I've not had to change these much - however, when it happens, it's a PITA. - ipfw rules - mysql tables - apache configuration - /etc/hosts - named.conf (possibly) and more. Including needing to update external DNS, which could be addressed by using a dyndns.org name, and set your DNS to that hostname. I could whip up a script using M4 to dynamically change the ipfw rules and point /etc/rc.conf to a different script. I'm curious if anyone else has come up with a nifty scheme to make this less painful when it happens -- other than the obvious idea of getting a provider that supports fixed IP addresses ;-) Someone suggested to me the GNU CFEngine, too -- seems a bit complex for this task, though.

So, in addition to commenting out dri and glx, the only change I made was to add four resolution modes to the Depth 24 section. I then ran X -config on this new config file, and voila! I got that great, grey screen! Pressiong ctl+alt+plus|minus had no effect at all, but ctl+alt+back exited out of the X server. The one (WW) warning I saw back on the console was (WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:3:0:1) found. The only thing I can relate this error to is the fact that Windows XP auto-detects this card as two devices somehow as well, as it shows two cards in Device Manager when I only have one, and a second Display too, both called Secondary. I then tried startx for the real test... and it failed. It brought me back to my favorite green and blue garbled screen, out from which I could not exit. Any idea why?

random device settings on bind9

Could not run su in Gnome
I am new to FreeBSD and the *nixes in general and have come a long way just to get a useful GUI to appear on my screen. Now I have a hit a road block I can't seem to figure out. I am running 4.10-RELEASE and the latest version of Gnome 2.6, which I upgraded with portupgrade -a. When I try to change any settings under System Tools that require the admin password such as Network Settings or Users and Groups, I receive a prompt asking me for the root password. When I give it, it responds with... Could not run su. Make sure you have permission to access this file. However, it will say this even if I am logged in as root. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Furthermore, I can't seem to auto-login with GDM as it say Access Denied when is starts. I have configure pam.conf and gdm.conf as recommend in the FreeBSD Gnome FAQ, A check of the logs show that pam_nologin.so cannot be found and there is no such file located in /usr/libs. Any idea what package or port adds that file?
