Ah, sorry about that.  My fault for not mentioning all the details.

I did use the above sequence of commands, but only after recreating the
entire directory structure with mtree(8), i.e.:

# cd /mnt

# mtree -deU -f /etc/mtree/BSD.sendmail.dist

# mtree -deU -f /etc/mtree/BSD.include.dist
# cd /mnt/usr/local
# mtree -deU -f /etc/mtree/BSD.local.dist

The error you see below is probably a result of the failure to locate a
${DESTDIR}/usr/include/bluetooth directory.

excessive calcru warnings (negative runtime/runtime went backwards)

2004-11-09 Thread Mike Pederson
Howdy,
For starters, uname -a gives
FreeBSD reactor.bombsession.com 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri 
Nov  5 04:19:18 UTC 2004 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

After an install of 5.3-Release on a freshly formatted drive, I am 
getting loads of calcru errors:

calcru: negative runtime of -someNumber usecs for pid pid (process)
calcru: runtime went backwards from someNumber usecs to someNumber 
usecs for pid pid (process)

Nothing seems wrong with the system's ability to keep time correctly, 
and the system is not SMP, so a lot of the info I've found doesn't 
exactly apply.  The system doesn't freeze or become unstable, though I 
haven't done much with it.  This same hardware did not have the problem 
with FreeBSD 4.9-Release.  I understand there were some changes to 
things timecounter going into 5.0, and I'm skeptical this is a hardware 
problem.  The messages are so frequent they can't be ignored.  As far as 
timekeeping goes, my hardware clock is set to UTC, the system keeps CST 
-600 time just fine and is not set up to sync with a timeserver.

There are two FAQ entries that may apply.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#CALCRU-NEGATIVE
sysctl kern.timecounter.method no longer exists, and I don't find the 
NTIMECOUNTER option in the GENERIC conf.  Is the NTIMECOUNTER option 
something I can/should add (if so I'd love advice on the placing if it 
matters) or is it outdated as well?

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#LAPTOP-CLOCK-SKEW
I thought this might be related, but the behavior doesn't change with 
kern.timecounter.hardware set to ACPI-safe (the default), TSC, or i8254. 
 I see all three in dmesg:
Timecounter i8254 frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0
Timecounter ACPI-safe frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000
Timecounter TSC frequency 450130973 Hz quality 800

ps shows -2341043 in each negative entry like
  PID  TT  STAT  TIME COMMAND
   30  ??  DL   -2341043:-52.36 [yarrow]
and it doesn't seem to discriminate among processes, showing 15-30 such 
negative-timed processes with each ps.

Even the dmesg below doesn't isn't complete because there are too many 
calcru errors.  sorry for the length, nothing follows.  Thanks for any 
help; please let me know if there's a better forum for my problem or if 
I can provide any further info.

Rebooting fails after installing 5.3-RELEASE

2004-11-09 Thread Travis J. Hicks
Hello,

I have a custom PC with an ASUS A7N266-VM motherboard, 256MB of RAM, a WD
hard drive, a generic CD-ROM drive, and a D-Link DFE-530TX+ NIC. I had
FreeBSD 4.9 on one partition and Windows XP Pro on another. Tonight I erased
the 4.9 partition and installed 5.3.

Since then I have been unable to get the machine to reboot when booted into
FreeBSD. Calling reboot or shutdown -r now syncs, displays the uptime,
then roughly says:

Shutting down ACPI
Stray irq9
ACPI-0265: *** Error: Hardware never changed modes

The machine then appears to reset. However, instead of being immediately
presented with the BIOS I am left with a blank screen and a motherboard that
continuously beeps an alternating two tones. The closest entry I can find to
this in my motherboard manual indicates missing or defecting RAM, but this
is not the case. Pressing the reset button causes the machine to boot
normally. Rebooting from 4.9 or Windows XP works perfectly.

I can reproduce this same situation when booted from 5.3-RELEASE-i386-disc1.
If at the Welcome to FreeBSD menu I choose option 7 the machine reboots
correctly. If I choose option 1 to boot into the installer, then exit the
installer, the machine will fail to reboot correctly, beeping continuously
until reset.

I've googled, checked the handbook, and checked a book. Any ideas? My uname
-a and dmesg output is below.

Re: Soundcard Issues

2004-11-09 Thread Benjamin Sobotta
Hi!

I'm not quite sure about this but try

kldload snd_driver

This will load every driver available. Then check /dev/sndstat again and see 
whether it found something. If it did you know that you just picked the wrong 
driver and it is be supported by something else.
If it doesn't you're looking at a different problem, that as far as I can see 
is not related to the sounddrivers.

Hi,
I'm just about to upgrade my 5.2.1-RELEASE system to 5.3-RELEASE.
I thought this would be a good opportunity to ask some questions I've been 
wondering about for quite some time re the info in Updating.

Firstly, I assume (always risky!) that stuff like:
 20041003:
 The pfil API has gained an additional argument to pass an inpcb.You should 
rebuild all pfil consuming modules: ipfw, ipfilter and pf.

will be rebuilt when I run make buildworld  you only have to worry about 
building it specifically if you selectively build certain parts of the source 
rather than the world?

The release of 5.3 is clearly marked in Updating, but the release of 5.2.1 
isn't so I guess I can ignore stuff before it's release date which is 
24-02-2004?

I've cvsuped the doc collection. There are no instructions in the handbook for 
building doc - does it get built along with the rest of the source when I do 
my make buildworld, or do I need to build it seperately (I assume it's the 
stuff in /usr/src/share/doc ?)

Cheers,

HELP Setting up nat with FREEBSD 5.2.1 but keeping mac

2004-11-09 Thread MASSON D.
Hello,
I need to connect two networks together.
Those networks have total different IP ranges.
Each machine in network A needs to connect with a unique natted ip 
adress to the network B, but it needs to keep its own MAC adress.
I try to use FREEBSD 5.2.1 with  NAT to do the job but this sends the 
mac adress from the router to de destination host, wich in my case is 
not allowed.

Can this be done (using netgraph maybe) ?

No.  The build process of the docs requires many tools from the ports
(jade, TeX, docbook DTDs, etc.).  These are not useful to the vast
majority of the FreeBSD users, and they are not installed by default.

The easier way to update the docs in /usr/share/doc is to download
prebuilt versions of the documentation from an FTP mirror, i.e.:

Even with kldload snd, there is nothing. I'm pretty lost at why I can't

Yes - they should be rebuilt (as part of the kernel build, in fact, I
believe) unless you have set MODULES_OVERRIDE in /etc/make.conf.

One thing to bear in mind, and that has bitten me three times now (I
/will/ learn, soon...) is that after the installkernel, some of your
firewall rules will not work with the old world.  The best bet is to
boot to single user, do the installworld and mergemaster, then reboot.
Your firewall rules should now function as before.

Oh, and if you use ipfw instead of pf, set NO_PF=true in /etc/make.conf
- without this, and if you don't add the appropriate users and groups
before installworld, the installworld will puke. 

I'm sure will have other caveats.  These are the ones that keep getting
me, though.

 I've cvsuped the doc collection. There are no instructions in the handbook 
 for 
 building doc - does it get built along with the rest of the source when I do 
 my make buildworld, or do I need to build it seperately (I assume it's the 
 stuff in /usr/src/share/doc ?)

No - if you want updated local copies of the docs, you will need to
install one of the docproj ports, under /usr/ports/textproc.  Take a
look at their pkg-descr files to see which one is most suitable for you.

Then, I suggest you tweak the DOC_LANG knob in /etc/make.conf so you
only spend time building docs in your preferred language.  For example,
to build docs in English, I have this:

DOC_LANG=   en_US.ISO8859-1

Installing it is as simple as

# cd /usr/doc
# make all install clean

Provided you doc source is in /usr/doc.  It gets installed, sensibly, in
/usr/share/doc.

HTH

Dan

Someone knows if the driver is working on 5.3 release ?
I must apply all the patchs like in 5.2.1, in 5.3 ??
Or it is not more necessary ???
  
   Not applied here and am not having any problems.
  
  
  
 
 Just updated to 5.3 this weekend.  Didn't try the port, just went to
 nvidia and downloaded their driver.  Installed and is running fine,
 though I have DRI and GLX disabled as it wasn't working before my
 upgrade and haven't yet checked it on this version.

Experiences with systemupdate Freebsd 4.9 - 5.3

2004-11-09 Thread Volker Lieder
Hello list,
has anybody tried to update a freebsd 4.9 incl. apache, mysql and other 
ports to 5.3 or 5.2?
I have a server with performanceproblems and want to try an other 
release.
I found a howto on freebsd to update from 4.x to 5.3, but i don't know 
if it works.
Perhaps you can send me your reports/results/tipps and tricks.

 Hello,
 
 I have a custom PC with an ASUS A7N266-VM motherboard, 256MB of RAM, a WD
 hard drive, a generic CD-ROM drive, and a D-Link DFE-530TX+ NIC. I had
 FreeBSD 4.9 on one partition and Windows XP Pro on another. Tonight I erased
 the 4.9 partition and installed 5.3.
 
 Since then I have been unable to get the machine to reboot when booted into
 FreeBSD. Calling reboot or shutdown -r now syncs, displays the uptime,
 then roughly says:
 
 Shutting down ACPI
 Stray irq9
 ACPI-0265: *** Error: Hardware never changed modes

Looks like a broken ACPI to me. TO diagnose the problem try disabling
ACPI from the BIOS and go with the same experiment. Please post the
results along with dmesg.

Nightly backup using CD-ROM - how do i?

2004-11-09 Thread Odhiambo Washington
Hi,

I am sure I don't have to reinvent this wheel. I have a several FreeBSD
5.2.1 servers. They are all built the same. The disk is partitioned only
into / and swap.

It is so easy for me to backup an entire box by doing:

cd /
tar czf - / | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'cat Box1-backup.tgz'


Now instead of the above, I would like to pipe the output
to be written to a CD-ROM mounted on the same box. I am
hoping burncd or some other app can be used to do that:

tar czf - / | burncd -arg1 arg2 blah...

So every night I just mount a blank CD and let a cron job
do the backup;)

I know there could be gotchas, like when the CD is not empty, etc.

Is anyone already doing this?

Are you willing to share the methodology?

It CAN be done although not recommended. Read the WHOLE of
/usr/src/UPDATING before trying out your experiment. And make sure you
have 0 day backups before starting. I have done it on my PC just for
fun but there would be performance issues as 5.* works with UFS2
whereas 4.* works on UFS. MY personal opinion is there would be
performance degrades after the update.

php4-extensions broken dependency

2004-11-09 Thread dave
Hello,
I've installed apache2 and mod_php4 and configured the extensions_dir
setting in php.ini. I then went to install lang/php4-extensions, but one of
the extensions i selected is mcve, marked as broken. When i try to get
around this the install detects my previous configuration choices. A make
clean;make distclean does not solve this. Suggestions welcome.
Thanks.

Many times without problems. Just stick to the letter of /usr/src/UPDATING
and /usr/ports/UPDATING and you'll be fine.

 I have a server with performanceproblems and want to try an other 
 release.

Allthough performance has improved significantly in the 5.i - 5.3 
timespan, there are still areas where 4.x outperforms 5.x. This will
certainly improve while 5-stable evolves, but right now you might 
even be worse off performancewise after an upgrade.
Unless off course you know exactly what kind of performanceproblems
you're dealing with and how they are 'fixed' in 5.x

 I found a howto on freebsd to update from 4.x to 5.3, but i don't know 
 if it works.
 Perhaps you can send me your reports/results/tipps and tricks.

- make backups
- if you're not familiar with src upgrading, do a clean reinstall
- make backups
- test the procedure on a non-critical system
- don't forget to make backups

spamassassin port not reading local.cf?

2004-11-09 Thread Rohit Kumar Mehta
Hi Toomas I have this same problem Amavisd-new and SA 3.0.
I think the problem is that SA is invoked through amavisd (not spamc or
spamassassin).
I hope I do not have to make all my local changes through amavisd.conf.
Please do let me know if you discover another way.

Re: Upgrading 5.3-Beta1 to 5.3-RELEASE

 So, my version at present is 5.3-BETA1 and I want to install 5.3.
 I supposed I could just install 5.3 over my current version, but 
 wouldn't an upgrade work just as well?
 
 Finally, want to make sure I have the procedure right:
 
  ??? go to: /usr/local/etc/cvsup
  ??? issue the following command: /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 
 stable-supfile
  ??? once finished, then go to: /usr/src
  ??? enter the commands:

There are some nicer ways to do this.  Check
http://www.bugman.cx/cvsup/ for my make.conf, release-supfile and
ports-supfile for examples.  You can copy these three files into your
/etc directory, and using the make.conf file, you can now just 'cd
/usr/src' and then issue a 'make update'.  Your make.conf flags will
tell CVSup what to do.

Make sure you edit the three files carefully, as you'll want to specify
a local CVSup server *and* you'll want to make sure the make.conf flags
are correct.  Remember that whenever you run 'make', the commands in
make.conf are passed as options to the make command.  That means if you
have'WITHOUT_X11=true' in your make.conf file, that will get passed to
every single port build you perform.

If you already have a make.conf file you might want to just copy out
the MASTER_ lines and all of the SUP lines (including PORTSSUPFILE) and
put them into your own make.conf.

 make buildworld KERNCONF=yourkernelname (for name, look to config
file  found in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/)

Just 'make buildworld' is fine here.  You don't need to specify a
kernel name when issuing a buildworld.

  make buildkernel KERNCONF=yourkernelname (look to / )
  make installkernel KERNCONF=yourkernelname
  reboot

You can do a 'make buildworld' and a 'make buildkernel
KERNCONF=yourkernel' while you're booted into multi-user (ie normal)
FreeBSD.  You can even install the kernel from here before rebooting,
but after you've built the two, you should switch to single user mode
and then run:

make installkernel KERNCONF=yourkernelname
make installworld

Then follow with:

 mergemaster -p ?

*snip*

  reboot

So basically:

 o  update from cvs
  # cd /usr/src
  # make update
 o  build world/kernel in your normal or single-user mode
  # cd /usr/obj
  # rm -rf *
  # cd /usr/src
  # make buildworld
  # make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL
 o  install kernel/world in single user mode
  # reboot [ Choose single User Mode ]
  # cd /usr/src
  # make installkernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNEL
  # make installworld
 o  run mergemaster -p
  # mergemaster -p
 o  reboot 
  # reboot

It's fairly straight-forward once you get the gist :)

I upgrade from 5.3-beta7 to 5.3-RELEASE as follows :
-Changed in /stand/sysinstall.. Options: 5.3-7 to 5.3-RELEASE
-Then did simply an upgrade.
And all was downloaded and installed, but not xorg where xorg-librairies
won't install :(
A uname -a chows effectively 5.3-RELEASE .
Anybody can confirm this method of upgrading ?

Re: Recommended Video Card with OpenGL Acceleration?

On Mon, 8 Nov 2004 17:49:28 -0700
Chris Kuethe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Hi,

 I've started down the path of OpenGL hackery, and am looking for
 recommendations on good video cards support by X.org that have
 hardware accelerated OpenGL. I'll be running this on 5.3-stable. Thus
 far searches have indicated that ATI is to be avoided, NVIDIA is
 decent, and All cards supported by the DRI open source drivers work
 fine in FreeBSD. I would hope that if a card is said to work fine
 actually does do hardware OpenGL. (I have a laptop with a savage
 twister [0x8d01] that works fine with X, albeit very slowly. It'd be
 nice to have that usable.).

If you want to get the best performance the obvious choice is nvidia
hardware with their proprietary kernel driver. There used to be
stability issues in the past but those seem to have been fixed. I
wouldn't say ATI is to be avoided. If you don't have/need the latest and
greatest you will get 3D support from the DRI driver (up to 9200/R280).
You can get a 9200SE/128MB for $50 or so these days, enough if you don't
want to do heavy gaming and/or pixel/vertex shader programming.

The advantage is that, while performance is not as good as with nvidia
gear, you still have a 100% open source kernel and can get to the code
if needed. This might be important for some people, not so relevant for
end users. ATI used to have better 2D quality but this seems to have
changed, and nvidia now actually cares about image quality (I remember
the image quality of my old TNT to be really awful when compared to a
PCI Matrox card)

 If people would care to bounce me a dmesg or hardware description,
 X/Mesa/etc. versions and some glxgears framerates (csdemo framerates
 would be even better), that'd be much appreciated. I'd prefer to not
 have a completely frankensteined system, but if I need to be running
 some package straight out of CVS, then so be it.

For nvidia, use their kernel and X driver, for others Xorg should
provide the 3D support. I don't know about the Savage card, but if Xorg
supports the DRI part you should get 3D acceleration. Some cards only
have 2D support with sometimes Xv as well.

 I've seen this before.  What does the last line mean?
 Or, how do I test this?  I've just tried ssh'ing

  This is telling you that the machine doesn't know how to assign
  addresses for DHCP requests that come in on the dc0 interface.  If
  that's correct (i.e., you want it to assign addresses on some other
  interface but not that one), then everything's fine so far.  If it's
  not, then you need to modify your dhcpd.conf as it said.
 
   I've got two NICs on my primary.  dc0 goes to my router;
   dc1 goes to my hub.  All are running unix.  So far, I 
   have rebooted only my laptop.  I can immediately ssh from
   my latop *into* my primary (DNS) server, but when I try to
   ping anywhere from my laptop, nothing--it times out.
   So my dhcpd isn't handing out leases.  

Eh?  If you can ssh into the DNS server, you have an address.

   In /etc/rc.conf I've got:
 
   dhcpd_flags=-q# command option(s)
   dhcpd_conf=/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf# configuration file
   dhcpd_ifaces=dc1  # ethernet interface(s)
   dhcpd_withumask=022   # file creation mask
 
   So far, the dhcpd_ifaces doesn't seem to be working, 
   although I *do* see it when I do a grep on 
   'sh -x on /usr/local/etc/rc.d/isc-dhcpd.sh::
 
   + network_interfaces=dc0 dc1 lo0
   + ifconfig_dc1=inet 10.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
   + dhcpd_ifaces=dc1
 
   So the script at least is reading /etc/rc.conf.  Why dhcpd
   isn't seeing this is unknown.
 
 
   Here is part of my dhcpd.conf:
 
 
 option dhcp-server-identifier 10.0.0.1;
 option domain-name thought.org;
 option domain-name-servers 216.231.41.2, 66.93.87.2;
 option routers 10.0.0.1;
 option subnet-mask 255.0.0.0;
 server-name sage;
 server-identifier 10.0.0.1;

 
  
  If everything is okay on that front, then you need to get some of the
  other machines (the ones to which this server should be assigning
  addresses) to ask for leases.  How to do this depends on what OS they
  are running, but rebooting should do it in any case.
 
 
   So far, rebooting ns1.thought.org (== sage) and my laptop
   don't change anything.

It *did* force the laptop to try to renegotiate its lease.  
Verbose dhcpd output from ns1 at that time would have told you what
the problem was if it in fact was related to DHCP.

It sounds, though, as though the real problem is related to DNS.

Sorry, my mistake.

Network wasn't available at boot, so ntpdate couldn't sync, so the
clock was off, so the build system tried to build libmagic two times.
I'm so stupid.

This was exactly like when I was setting up some x509 certificates for
isakmpd a while ago, with the clock set way into the future on the
machine where I was issuing the certificates, I couldn't understand
why the certs wouldn't work: Because their lifetime hadn't started
yet!

Lesson learned (twice!): Check your clock!

No doubt BIND can do this ... but I find djbdns much easier to configure.
The following URL outlines what you need to do, and is dead simple:

http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-cache-x.html

Install the /usr/ports/dns/djbdns port, then head to the above page.  Don't

What did you use to burn the CD?

2004-11-09 Thread RacerX
Sent to me by a friend -

Surprise.
According to a study the British security firm mi2g, Linux is the world's 
most breached OS and is exploited more frequently than Windows. The 
company recently analyzed more than 235,000 successful attacks against 
computers that were permanently connected to the Internet during the past 
year and concluded that Linux was responsible for most of the successful 
exploits.

For how long can the truth remain hidden, that the great emperors of the 
software industry are wearing no clothes fit for the fluid environment in 
which computing takes place, where new threats manifest every hour of 
every day? DK Matai, mi2g's executive chairman, said in a statement. 
Busy professionals ... don't have the time to cope with umpteen flavors 
of Linux or to wait for Microsoft's Longhorn when Windows XP has proved to 
be a stumbling block in some well-chronicled instances.

According to mi2g, Linux-based computers accounted for more than 65 
percent of all successful electronic attacks during the past year, whereas 
Windows-based systems were responsible for only 25 percent. Attacks 
against Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD)-based systems were successful 
less than 5 percent of the time. However, it's worth noting--although mi2g 
didn't--that BSD-based machines make up a small percentage of the 
installed base of permanently connected machines. In all probability, 
those machines weren't attacked simply because there was little incentive 
to do so, not because of any inherent superiority over Linux- or 
Windows-based systems.

The mi2g study also analyzed the impact of malware during the same time 
period and found that most malware attacks--about 60 percent--successfully 
targeted small businesses, whereas about 33 percent successfully targeted 
home users. Only 6 percent of malware attacks successfully targeted 
midsized businesses, whereas 2.5 percent successfully targeted 
enterprises, government agencies, and similar firms. According to the 
company, 459 successful malware attacks occurred during the past year, 
most of which targeted Windows-based systems. Malware rarely targeted 
BSD-based and Linux systems.

These electronic attacks are taking an economic toll. The firm says that 
electronic attacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks 
caused as much as $123 billion in damages during the past year. Malware 
attacks were responsible for $202 billion in damages during the same time 
period.

I'm just a lazy person, so I never bothered trying when I had BIND 
installed already. =) And since
I've been working on a BIND4-to-BIND9-migration for the recent months I 
got kind of used to it.

Still, I really like the idea of having seperate servers for resolving 
recursive queries and for hosting zones,
since this affects both security and performance. Nominum, the company 
that wrote BIND9, offers a commercial,
closed-source nameserver as well, that also uses different servers for 
caching and hosting authoritative zon data.

Then again, performance shouldn't differ for home use.

Upgrade from 5.2.1-RELEASE to 5.3-STABLE

2004-11-09 Thread Piotr Gnyp
Hi,
I`ve cvsuped 5.3 sources, done make buildworld and make buildkernel with no
problems. But, on http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/migration-guide.html
i`ve read:
Due to the upgraded GCC compiler, C++ programs generally need to be
recompiled and reinstalled. This requirement comes from changes in the C++
ABI.
My gcc version:
Using built-in specs.
Configured with: FreeBSD/i386 system compiler
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.3 [FreeBSD] 20031106
Will I have to rebuild all my ports after make installkernel/installworld?

 Eh?  If you can ssh into the DNS server, you have an address.


My DNS box has my only real IP, 216.231.43.140.  I can
ssh *into* sage/ns1 from my laptops at once; but sshing 
(*out*) takes at least 2 minutes.  This is a major mystery
except that in dhcpd.conf I have most of my private 
servers 'hardwired';  the one that is not listed is not
reachable.

 
  
  So far, rebooting ns1.thought.org (== sage) and my laptop
  don't change anything.
 
 It *did* force the laptop to try to renegotiate its lease.  
 Verbose dhcpd output from ns1 at that time would have told you what
 the problem was if it in fact was related to DHCP.

Hmmm. Is this the attempt? (10.249) is the laptop.  

Nov  8 21:10:45 sage dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:10:a4:06:cb:39 via dc1
Nov  8 21:10:45 sage dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.0.0.249 to 00:10:a4:06:cb:39 via dc1

Nov  8 21:10:45 sage dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.0.249 (10.0.0.1) from 
00:10:a4:06:cb:39 via dc1
Nov  8 21:10:45 sage dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.0.0.249 to 00:10:a4:06:cb:39 via dc1
Nov  9 00:10:12 sage dhcpd: Dynamic and static leases present for 10.0.0.247.

Nov  9 00:10:12 sage dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.0.247 from 00:d0:b7:f0:de:ea 
via dc1
Nov  9 00:10:12 sage dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.0.0.247 to 00:d0:b7:f0:de:ea via dc1

(Again, sshing from 10.249 to 10.1 is immediate; sshing from 10.1 out
to, say, 10.247 takes a couple minutes...)  Also, if the daemon is 
issuing
a lease, why can't I ping from the laptop? or any other server?


 
 It sounds, though, as though the real problem is related to DNS.


You may be right, altho www.dnsreport.com doesn't see anything.
If I get my DNS files to you, can you tell?  --I've been using
bind-9 going on 4 years.  After kiddie scripts kept bumping bind-8
off.  I'm using v9.3,0 and maybe somethng is misconfigured.

 Surprise.
 
 According to a study the British security firm mi2g, Linux is the world's 
 most breached OS and is exploited more frequently than Windows. The 
 company recently analyzed more than 235,000 successful attacks against 
 computers that were permanently connected to the Internet during the past 
 year and concluded that Linux was responsible for most of the successful 
 exploits.
 
[[  (malware, c. ]]

 ... BSD-based machines make up a small percentage of the 
 installed base of permanently connected machines. In all probability, 
 those machines weren't attacked simply because there was little incentive 
 to do so, not because of any inherent superiority over Linux- or 
 Windows-based systems.
 

This study raises questions of how the Linux machines were
breachede, by whom and for what reasons.  Also, questions
about the malware.  It also implies that there is a 
(desperate[?]) need for security programs to detect malware.

This is an opportunity for guys with internals and security
savvy to earn (the old fashioned way), oh, a few hundred 
$million.  Scan src code.

 to make clear that I am not ranting about djbdns.

Understood, but it wouldn't matter to me if you were.  I've
never understood why so many people seem so badly to want to

I'm not ego-attached to it.  The same disclaimer applies to
what I'm about to say; I'm not looking for converts.

Besides, real men edit files with cat and sed.  :)

 But I don't really find BIND hard to configure as a caching
 nameserver.  I run BIND on my NetBSD machine doing exactly
 that, and the caching part took  no modification to the
 default configuration to work.

I've actually never tried running BIND as just a caching server,
just as an authoritative server.  To me, it seemed unnecessarily
complex.  Actually, it just seemed complex.  The 'unnecessarily'
was added after I tried djbdns.

 On the other hand, like I said, I haven't worked with djbdns

I'm lazy too.  That's why after seeing how djbdns and bind stack
up complexity wise on authoritative servers, I went with djbdns
on the caching side :)  I find that djbdns works the way I think,
BIND definitely doesn't -- but not everyone has to think the way
I do.

 Still, I really like the idea of having seperate servers for

Yeah, that's the reasoning that made me try djbdns in the

signal 11 in 5.3-STABLE install in multidisk, dual-boot

2004-11-09 Thread Mathew Pauhl
Hi folks,

I'm trying to install 5.3-RELEASE (miniinst.iso),
removing Debian linux, alongside a M$2k partition. 
Essentially all I do is boot to the CD and once I
attempt to do (any) type of install, as soon as I try
and change my slice layout (as soon as I hit the arrow
key actually), I get a '...caught a signal 11,
rebooting..saving what I can ...' message.

I've installed 5.2 before (a few monthes back), and
never had this problem.

I researched and found some people who were having
similar problems in 2003, forget the version..they
suggested it was a hardware problem, but there was no
resolution/answer given in the discussion thread.

I have a Dell PIII (866MHz) w/ 256 RAM, 2 CD
drives

Any thoughts/theories?  
TIA

Mat

better control over make.conf?

2004-11-09 Thread l0kit0
hi,
ive seen a feature from gentoo that i really liked, and i wanted to know if
fbsd have something like it, i mean the /uses/ variables in make.conf, where
one can specify better control over make,
for example (from
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2chap=2):

Let us take a look at a specific example: the kde keyword. If you do not
have
this keyword in your USE variable, all packages that have optional KDE
support will be compiled without KDE support. All packages that have an
optional KDE dependency will be installed without installing the KDE
libraries (as dependency). If you have defined the kde keyword, then those
packages will be compiled with KDE support, and the KDE libraries will be
installed as dependency.

I think you mean to use:

 The 192.168.1.105 address is rather strange as well, because I'm not using
 that range on the router's DHCP server (Netgear FVS318, in case you want to 
 know)

 So my question is, what are these? My firewall log (on the router) is showing
 some major blocking on port 445 and 135. It's not like one IP address is doing
 all the bad stuff; most of them are just random grabs from virus infected
 machines.

well with the same results). I've tried reading through the various 
files I can find, and did several web searches, but haven't found 
anything pointing me in the right direction.

When I try to execute portinstall -r usr/ports/www/mod_perl under FBSD 
4.9, I get the following:

--

perl5.8.0 isn't there because perl5.8.5 is. After reading through some 
suggestions for other things, I tried modifying pkg_tools.conf with the 
following lines:

 ALT_PKGDEP = {
'/usr/local/bin/perl5.8.0' = '/usr/local/bin/perl5.8.5'
 }
I'm relatively new to this, so I'd appreciate a more verbose help if 
possible.

Re: difference between releases

 At some point you have to stop working on stuff, hammer out a release, and
 then start working again. It shouldn't just be a moment in time of -current,
 with all the uncertainty that entails.

And it isn't.  You just choose to view it that way.

 I'm not saying that's how it works, but when this thread started, that's how
 it was depicted.

It most certainly wasn't.  SInce it was me who said that releases are 'points
in time', which is what you have built your arguments upon since then, let me
add that the releases are 'points in time extracted from the STABLE branch'.

There is only *ONE* exception to this rule, namely 5.2.1-RELEASE, and this one
was clearly marked as a technology preview release, aimed at developers and
other early adopters.

It's easy to put releases cut from the STABLE branch and snapshots taken from
the CURRENT branch all in the same basket, but it's not correct too.

Now can we move on?

GDM startup problem

2004-11-09 Thread Niklas Lundell
Hi all,

I'm having some problems with GDM. It seems to restart itself a couple
of times before it hangs, all without showing any dialog. It doesn't
matter if I use the standard greeter or the graphical one. 

The following error messages are repeatedly shown on the console:

kernel: pid 33991 (gdm-binary), uid 92: exited on signal 6
gdm[33989]: failsafe dialog failed (inhibitions: 0 0)
kernel: pid 33991 (gdm-binary), uid 92: exited on signal 6

kernel: pid 33991 (gdm-binary), uid 92: exited on signal 6
gdm[33989]: failsafe dialog failed (inhibitions: 1 1)

My system is running FreeBSD 5.3 with gdm2-2.6.0.6, xorg-server-6.7, and
gnome-2.8. The system is newly upgraded (using portupgrade) from FreeBSD
5.2.1 (where GDM worked just fine :-)

If anyone has any advice on this issue, I'd be grateful. 

Thanks,

devfs + rulesets.

2004-11-09 Thread Thordur Ivar B.
Good day/night.

I have been having some troubles with devfs (the config files that is).

Here is what I want todo:
I want to be able to allow users in group 'cdrom' to acces (rw) to /dev/acd0

First of all i created the group ;). So far so good.

Then i uncommented this line:
linkacd0cdrom
in /etc/devfs.conf (My only change in that file, so far).

So far so good.

Now heres where the trouble begins: I can by using the command line utility
(devfs) allow users in group cdrom to rw /dev/acd0{cdrom}
By issuing the following commands:
# devfs ruleset 10
# devfs rule add path acd0 group cdrom
# devfs rule add path acd0 mode 0660
# devfs rule applyset

Here I have:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] thib]$ ls -al /dev/ | grep acd0
crw-rw1 root cdrom  4,  21 Nov  9 23:11 acd0
lrwxr-xr-x1 root wheel   4 Nov  9 23:11 cdrom - acd0

So far so good.

But when I add these lines:
own acd0root:cdrom
permacd00660
to /etc/devfs.conf

I get this:
/etc/rc: WARNING: devfs_set_ruleset: you must specify a ruleset number
/etc/rc: WARNING: devfs_apply_ruleset: you must specify a ruleset

in my dmesg.

Okey. So I took a look in /etc/defaults/devfs.rules and did the following:
(PS: I removed the own/perm lines in /etc/devfs.conf
# touch /etc/devfs.rules
And added these lines to the file:
[devfsrules_cdrom=10]
add path acd0 group cdrom
add path acd0 mode 06660

When I reboot I get the same error messages:
/etc/rc: WARNING: devfs_set_ruleset: you must specify a ruleset number
/etc/rc: WARNING: devfs_apply_ruleset: you must specify a ruleset

Here's the kicker, even though I get these error messages it DOES WHAT I
WANT... 

My questions is, what is the proper way of specifying a ruleset in either
/etc/devfs.conf or /etc/devfs.rules and wich of the files should I use ?

I'm sorry if I missed something obvious in the manpages (or did not google
enough).

Please CC me for I'm not on the list.

Hi,

I'm afraid I don't know the solution to your problem but you may find
some useful information for dealing with this kind of issue here.

http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/

I randomly used to get signal 11 problems with a particular MySQL
version, but upgrading to a later version cured that.

Memory is quite commonly at fault (and quite easy to verify), so if
you have more than one stick try removing one of them and/or swapping
them around and see if you still get the same problems (you could also
run memtest http://www.memtest86.com/ )

Hope this helps.

DNS Cache Server

2004-11-09 Thread NiY
Noticed the tread on a caching DNS server, and that brought up a
couple of questions   I had.
I have a DNS server set up in my home. I have a FreeBSD 5.2.1 box
acting as my gateway, running ipfw and natd. It routes my one static
IP address from my DSL provider to a set of internal, unroutable IPs.
That part is working fine. Also on that box is a caching DNS server.
The internal IP for the gateway is 192.168.0.1. My problems are two
fold, and may or may not be related.

1) I cannot, from either the gateway or any of the internal machines,
get DNS query responses from 192.168.0.1. I can get query responses
from 127.0.0.1 and the external IP address from the gateway, and I can
get query responses from the external IP from any of the internal
machines (well, partially. See below).

2) When I do set up my FBSD 5.3 box inside the network with the
external IP of the gateway in resolv.conf, I can ping and nslookup DNS
names just fine. However, when I go to use Mozilla (Or any browser for
that matter), they hang on Resolving host:. nslookup tells me it is
using my gateway as the DNS server, and never tells me it's switching
to another server for queries.

Any ideas?

This is what I use.  Shell script attached.
Basically it matches the files in:
$BACKUP_DIR/$DATESTRING*.tar.gz
It then creates and ISO file and burns to a CD, and fires off an email if 
the backup fails.  It also incrementally adds stuff to a CD, so you can 
put in a blank CD and it'll keep adding stuff everytime the script is run 
until the space fills up, and then you'll get an email.

Are you running some sort of packet filter?  If you are, I'd try turning 
it off and then see if you still have problems.  If you do, then you 
know that you need to modify your rules to allow the traffic through the 
internal interface.

 gnome-2.8. The system is newly upgraded (using portupgrade) from FreeBSD
 5.2.1 (where GDM worked just fine :-)
 
 If anyone has any advice on this issue, I'd be grateful.

Re: DNS Cache Server

2004-11-09 Thread NiY
On 11/9/2004 4:01 PM NiY wrote:

 Noticed the tread on a caching DNS server, and that brought up a
 couple of questions   I had.
 I have a DNS server set up in my home. I have a FreeBSD 5.2.1 box
 acting as my gateway, running ipfw and natd. It routes my one static
 IP address from my DSL provider to a set of internal, unroutable IPs.
 That part is working fine. Also on that box is a caching DNS server.
 The internal IP for the gateway is 192.168.0.1. My problems are two
 fold, and may or may not be related.

 1) I cannot, from either the gateway or any of the internal machines,
 get DNS query responses from 192.168.0.1. I can get query responses
 from 127.0.0.1 and the external IP address from the gateway, and I can
 get query responses from the external IP from any of the internal
 machines (well, partially. See below).

 2) When I do set up my FBSD 5.3 box inside the network with the
 external IP of the gateway in resolv.conf, I can ping and nslookup DNS
 names just fine. However, when I go to use Mozilla (Or any browser for
 that matter), they hang on Resolving host:. nslookup tells me it is
 using my gateway as the DNS server, and never tells me it's switching
 to another server for queries.

 Any ideas?

Are you running some sort of packet filter?  If you are, I'd try
turning it off and then see if you still have problems.  If you do,
then you know that you need to modify your rules to allow the traffic
through the internal interface.

I am using ipfw, and am not deying anything on the internal network. I
do some filtering on traffic coming into the gateway from the external
IP, but nothing on any of the internal IPs. What I'm denying inbound
shouldn't have anything to do with DNS, either. Just to be sure, I did
set the default type to open and used a blank ipfw config, but that
didn't help any.

The size of the cache you get like this, for example:

4228K
In /var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf I have following lines:

Two NICs with one IP address each on the same subnet

2004-11-09 Thread Sean Peisert
I have a FreeBSD 5.x box with two NICs that I'd like
to set up on the same subnet.  The purpose is to run
separate services on each NIC.  I have the box set up
with my rc.conf containing the following lines:

defaultrouter=...
hostname=...
ifconfig_xl0=inet ...  netmask 255.255.255.224
ifconfig_sk0=inet ...  netmask 255.255.255.224 mtu
9000

The router and IP addresses are all on the same
subnet, as I previously mentioned.  Unfortunately, the
first IP address seems not to work (I can ssh to the
second, but not the first).  Is there something
special I need to do to the routing to get this to
work?  Anything to the kernel?  

Thanks,
Sean

Hello,

It's you :). From the Release Notes:

FreeBSD now uses Xorg instead of XFree86 as the default X Window
System. The supported release is Xorg X11R6.7.0. Note that XFree86 is
also available in the FreeBSD Ports Collection (x11/XFree86-4).

Configuring Xorg is quite simple.
As root run the following commands
Xorg -configure
[...wait until it creates an custom configuration in your home dir 
based on your hardware, the screen may go blank during this stage...]
mv ~user/Xorg.conf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xorg.conf

Are you planning to run a login manager (e.g. gdm, kdm, xdm)? This 
greatly simplifies the set-up process of Xorg (and XFree86 too) as Xorg 
would not need to run as an user to use a login manager. I find that 
running Xorg/XFree86 as root with a login manager is usually the 
easiest way to set up an X server on FreeBSD.

xorg runs right out of the box, just do a startx.  I too was confused
without the x server config in sysinstall.  Before I started looking
for a clue, I just typed startx and voila twm starts.  I have
installed 5.3's on several machines some very old, and a full
instalation results in a running x with startx.  Beets the hell out of
the old sysinstall setup.

Do you need to dismount /usr to dump it?

2004-11-09 Thread Matt Staroscik
If I boot to single-user mode (reboot, hit space, do boot -s) and dump /usr 
to a file, I get read errors on a couple of blocks.

Running fsck -y (also in single user of course) did not show a problem, but 
it did not clear up the errors when I tried the dump again.

I thought it was safe to dump /usr in single-user mode. Will I need to boot 
off a CD or try another trick to get a clean dump of /usr? Or perhaps I am 
not using the right fsck options?

the dump command I used is:
dump 0af /someotherplace/filename.dump /usr
This seemed to work fine for / and my other filesystems.
Thanks!

 Hello..
 
 I am currently running FreeBSD 5.2.1, installing of OS'es is really not

 Windows XP  on my primary C drive, and I goto install the FreeBSD boot 
 easy loader(Option 1), there was a time when by doing just that, It 
 destroyed the MBR of my primary drive! Strange as it may seem, though 
 why would windows xp be destroyed if I tried to install on a separate 
 physical hard drive (D:/) the free bsd boot loader? I am some what 
 scared to even bother with a boot loader. Please advise on what I can 
 do to make windows XP allow another OS like FREEBSD to work though its 
 on a separate drive.
 
 Synopsis of problem: XP installed on primary master (ad0), and freebsd 
 installed taking up whole secondary master drive (ad1), goto install 
 freebsd boot loader... CAN'T BOOT BACK INTO WINDOWS XP, AND ALL IS 
 LOST.. I did not choose install standard MBR, I chose option #1 for 
 install freebsd boot easy loader on drive ad1!!, not ad0!!

Hi,
I am using WindowsME and FreeBSD on two hard drives.
And from what I have seen:
a) to get you original boot setup back again I ran the WindowsME start disk
and on the dos prompt I did a:
fdisk /mbr
This restored my original boot configuration.
b) see the handbook/faq for multibooting with Windows(XP)
c) from FAQ 3.9. Windows 95/98 killed my boot manager! How do I get it
back?:

[...]
You can reinstall the boot manager FreeBSD comes with in one of three ways:
1) Running DOS, go into the tools/ directory of your FreeBSD distribution and 
look for
bootinst.exe. You run it like so:
...\TOOLS bootinst.exe boot.bin
and the boot manager will be reinstalled.
2) Boot the FreeBSD boot floppy again and go to the Custom installation menu 
item. Choose
Partition. Select the drive which used to contain your boot manager (likely the 
first
one) and when you come to the partition editor for it, as the very first thing 
(e.g.
do not make any changes) select (W)rite. This will ask for confirmation, say 
yes, and
when you get the Boot Manager selection prompt, be sure to select ``Boot 
Manager''.
This will re-write the boot manager to disk. Now quit out of the installation 
menu and
reboot off the hard disk as normal.
3) Boot the FreeBSD boot floppy (or CDROM) and choose the ``Fixit'' menu item. 
Select
either the Fixit floppy or CDROM #2 (the ``live'' filesystem option) as 
appropriate
and enter the fixit shell. Then execute the following command:
Fixit# fdisk -B -b /boot/boot0 bootdevice
substituting bootdevice for your real boot device such as ad0 (first IDE disk), 
ad4
(first IDE disk on auxiliary controller), da0 (first SCSI disk), etc.
[...}

d) next time you do your bootloader setup be sure to choose the first
drive to put your bootloader to.
