Transparent Proxy going astray
Hello, Paul, I saw your message in freebsd-questions forum about transparent proxy. Right now I'm facing the same problem: gateway with ipfw/natd and squid proxy on different machine. Maybe you have solved this problem? Everywhere I look, I see the same questions I'm asking, i.e. has anyone successfuly configured gateway and proxy, working on different machines? :) I have FreeBSD-4.10 with ipfw/natd working with quite complex ruleset and other box with squid. When I install squid on the gateway machine and make fwd GW_LOOPBACK,3128 tcp from MY_TEST_PC to any 80 then this squid works just fine. But when I try to forward to other, not gateway machine, i.e. fwd OTHER_BOX_WITH_SQUID,3128 tcp from MY_TEST_PC to any 80, then it isn't working... I see packets maching fwd rule (counter increases), but no traffic reaches squid machine. I have wandered through lots of forums and mailing lists, but haven't found solution until now. Thought maybe you have successfuly coped with this and maybe you can help or advice something?

re: re: make: don't know how to make when trying to make world for a jail
I was running a small script I wrote to set up a jail. I've used it before and
it works. It does just the same thing that the manpage for jail tells you to
do.
make_jail.sh:
#!/bin/sh
D=$1
cd /usr/src
mkdir -p $D
make world DESTDIR=$D
cd etc
make distribution DESTDIR=$D
mount_devfs devfs $D/dev
cd $D
ln -sf dev/null kernel
Then I just run that script with ./make_jail.sh
/usr/jail/jail.henrikssons.net.
I get the exact same output if I run make world
DESTDIR=/usr/jail/jail.henrikssons.net manually or with any other path.

Re: sk0: not freezing up, looking good!! but....
whole thing up, this is good really good however, it still can't do DHCP Do you have devicebpf in your kernel config? dhclient(8) needs it. yup! i do! Actually, if you upgraded your source from 5.3-RELEASE to STABLE, you definitely should rebuild world then the kernel, install kernel, world, etc. IOW, go though the full procedure outlined in the handbook. Although it's possible to rebuild just the kernel or parts of the world in some circumstances, you should rebuild the whole thing if you're updating more than some isolated parts. The source you have now likely requires the world and kernel be built, although I cannot say for sure (am not tracking STABLE), but this is by far the safest way. - jt okay! then i shall do world and stuff to rebuild the system, actually, just when I replug the cable from xl0 interface back to sk0, my system freezed up, sign :-( = Best Regards, Tsu-Fan Cheng _ Do You Yahoo!? @yahoo.com @ http://chinese.mail.yahoo.com Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://chinese.mail.yahoo.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Cheap, reliable mass storage
To clarify, I'm looking for long-term reliability, low cost and large space rather than high performance. I have a budget of around $600-900 to spend but I would not have to buy a PC as I have plenty of old machines (average spec: Intel P3 700mhz) laying around that would=20 probably be up to the job. You can buy lots of storage for $900... How much storage do you need? One way to do it. Take one machine, get 2 large drives for the data, one smaller drive for the OS and a CD-ROM drive. Send all the data to the first data drive and configure OS to sync second drive every 24 hours. If you have a pranoia about safety of the data on one machine, buy external drive enclosure. Attach external drive only when it is time to run a backup. Oops, that's quite an important bit of information to miss isn't it. I was hoping to grab around 1TB of storage, but I'm not sure how likely this is with the current budget. I was thinking of buying 4 x 300gb drives and a RAID card from Promise. I would then do as you'd advised and put a small 4gb drive in the machine with a mini-install of FreeBSD. Do you think there would be any problem with this? I'd like to get all issues ironed out before I go off spending... :) Mark pgpX8E4ZCfrvq.pgp Description: PGP signature

pxe boot: BTX halted
Hello, I am desperately trying to get pxe boot running. The client machine is a PentiumMMX/166MHz which successfully boots FreeBSD from hard disk. It is connected to the server machine's second ethernet card xl0 (3com). I can boot the client with etherboot from a floppy withoudt problems, but usually have no floppy connected to the machine. When I run ethereal on the server machine I see successful dhcp and tftp requests. No obvious problems. The client machine comes up with Intel UNDI PXE-2.0 (build 074). PXEBOOT usually crashes with int 6 or int d. CS:EIP points to nothing: ff ff ff ff ... The final message is: 'BTX halted'. Any idea?

Problem with nss_ldap in FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE/AMD64
Hey All, Not entirely sure which list this should be sent to, so I figured sending to the general list would be a good start. If there's a more appropriate list, could someone kindly reply and direct me as to who else may be better able to help solve or at least point me in the right direction to solve this problem myself. - Thanks. That said, here goes; I am apparently encountering an overflow of sorts with nss_ldap on FreeBSD: - Currently running OpenLDAP server, to store all local usernames/passwords/groups/shells/homedirs info. The accounts are shared between the system on the FreeBSD side using posixAccount attributes, and on the Windows side using sambaSamAccount attributes. We are using the FreeBSD port of LAM to create/modify/manage users and groups internally through a web-based interface running on Apache/php. Further details, including version specifics, etc will follow, just prefer to give you an idea of the problem we're having before wasting your time reading all the really specific stuff. Here's the problem, only a few selected usernames (4 out of about 190 or so), root cannot do a 'cd ~username'. This seems to cause issues with samba, and the list just goes on from there. What happens when one logged in as root types in the command 'cd ~username', is apparently an overflow of some sort which leaves one connected to the LDAP session, a simple [CRTL]+D releases one back to console. This same condition occurs when ANY user (not just root) attempts to cd to one of these 4 user directories; what troubles me most, is this happens regardless of permission issues to the filesystem, as it is apparently during the username lookup that it happens, to what extent the open session can allow someone access as an intruder of sorts I do not know - but nonetheless fear as an administrator, that this could be a security risk as well. I have attached a UNICODE txt file of a session which shows what one gets on the console when one attempts to 'cd ~USERNAME', where 'USERNAME' was edited removing the original username. Here's what I've tried to resolve the issue: First tried re-creating the user objects in the LDAP tree, failing that, I removed them, and re-created them with different UID numbers; essentially making them different objects with different distinctive names (DN's) in the database - nothing, same problem. Removed and re-created the physical directory entries on the disk as well, including proper ownership and permissions each time I changed the associated entry in the LDAP tree as well - even tried changing where/which disk the homedir was physically stored on. Lastly, I tried removing the entire LDAP database, and restoring FIRST the troublesome users only - same problem still. Added in the rest of the users via an LDIF export (backup of db before I toasted it) - still same problem. I figure spelling can't really be an issue; all usernames here follow the same convention (first letter of first name, followed by first 7 characters of last name, no numeric nor punctual characters of any sort). All four usernames are phonetically distinct and do not share any alphabetic pattern whatsoever either (I'd prefer not to send them out to the general list, as this machine is currently in production, and given the nature of what these accounts are causing I'd prefer not opening up a whole new security risk here). More Detailed Information Follows: -- FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov 5 03:50:01 UTC 2004 amd64 OpenLDAP nss_ldap pam_ldap installed from ports-tree, using versions as follows (pkg_info -a reports: openldap-client-2.2.15, openldap-server-2.2.15, pam_ldap-1.7.1_1, nss_ldap-1.204_5) Samba Version Samba-3.0.8, compiled with LDAP SAM support, acting as PDC for Win2K/WinXP Clients Still running GENERIC kernel (intent upon eventually getting around to making a new one, removing a lot of debugging and what-not once all is up and running well for a boost in performance). The machine is an AMD Opteron 146-based system, with 2GB ECC registered memory, (dual capable board, eventually going to go with dual 246 Opterons when we can take them from a workstation and upgrade the workstation to faster cpus). Using WDC RAID Edition S-ATA 250GB Drives, the on-board Broadcom GigE controllers (2), and on-board ATI video controller. The drives are configured in a RAID 5 array, attached each to an independent channel on a 3Ware Escalade 9500 series S-ATA controller, for a total of 705GB and change storage across 4 partitions (2GB /, 10GB /usr, 40GB /var, rest as /server). Attached is a copy of an (edited for username) session which details what happens when this error occurs. There are no errors reported in the OpenLDAP nor the system/auth logs to give you, but if anything else is needed please don't hesitate to ask.

Right now I'm facing the same problem: gateway with ipfw/natd and squid proxy on different machine. Maybe you have solved this problem? Everywhere I look, I see the same questions I'm asking, i.e. has anyone successfuly configured gateway and proxy, working on different machines? :) Have you looked at WCCP? Not sure if there are BSD implementations of this, but in linux there are. Its basically a protocol that runs on both the proxy and f/w server such that any http traffic is transparently forwarding to the proxy server for caching/whatever before it goes through the gateway...

Re: keeping 5.1 install up to date?

I know you say you're running 5.1. The 5.1 packages are no longer maintained, at least on the master site. The above works for me, though I'm using 5.2.1-RELEASE on this machine, and I think it will work for you, too. You don't need to install Modula-3 to install or run CVSUp, only to build it. Does it make more sense, then, to upgrade to 5.2.1 first? All this machine is doing is running BIND 9.2.3. Probably not, as 5.2.1 is also out of date. I was just pointing out that even though the package is for 5.3, as you can see in the URL, it works on a 5.2.1 system and by extension probably works on a 5.1 system. If you were to upgrade your system, you should upgrade to 5.3. However, I believe that I've read something on here stating that there are nonstandard gotchas in the upgrade from 5.1 to 5.3 that may make doing a clean install your best option. In your place, I would install 5.3 from scratch and proceed from there, as 5.1 is neither production quality nor very well supported. If you have difficulties in the future the first advice you are likely to get is, upgrade to a supported version. If you want to build from source but don't want to use the ports tree, you are not a newbie :) yeah, right! Not this week!

Re: Dual booting w/ two disks
Gabriel: What I would do is make sure that you can get Windows to boot up as the master disk before doing any further modifications to the boot blocks. If you get this far, then the FreeBSD Handbook procedure will handle the rest. If you can't get Windows to boot, there are several possible causes, and you need to use Google to address them. I have probably made every possible configuration mistake in setting up dual boot systems, and my recommendation is to take things one step at a time and verify that you haven't clobbered something. Assume nothing, trust no one, and always check!

But nothing is being logged to the file.
Am I doing something wrong on the FreeBSD side of things??
Thanks
PHP as an Apache module? IANAE, but wouldn't
you have to change log settings in httpd.conf?
I dont think so. These errors, that I want to log, are initiated by
the php function syslog() (look at the example above).
These messages are supposed to go to the syslogd daemon, not to
httpd's log file.
In the example above, if I change the priority from LOG_INFO to
LOG_WARNING,
the error messages go to /var/log/messages.
I just need it to start going to its own file.
The ultimate goal, is that I want to have a cluster of webservers,
logging to a central server.
I think this is a FreeBSD problem.
Here is what I have.
1. I removed my initial modification of /etc/syslog.conf, and added -
user.=info /var/log/php.log
According to syslog.conf man page, that should mean, any syslog events that
come is as LOG_USER, and only LOG_INFO, should be appended to
/var/log/php.log
2. I HUPped syslogd.
3. Im using logger to try to add a message to the log file like -
gladiator# logger -s -p user.info test
gsam: test
But unfortunately, the message test doesn't appear in /var/log/php.log OR
/var/log/messages.
I currently have the file /var/log/php.log chmodded to 777.
Im including my syslog.conf file.
Can anyone tell me, as to why, Im unable to log these tests?
Thanks

Problem with nss_ldap in FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE/AMD64 (2nd edition)
Hey All, - Sorry, forgot the attachement, same msg as earlier follows: Not entirely sure which list this should be sent to, so I figured sending to the general list would be a good start. If there's a more appropriate list, could someone kindly reply and direct me as to who else may be better able to help solve or at least point me in the right direction to solve this problem myself. - Thanks. That said, here goes; I am apparently encountering an overflow of sorts with nss_ldap on FreeBSD: - Currently running OpenLDAP server, to store all local usernames/passwords/groups/shells/homedirs info. The accounts are shared between the system on the FreeBSD side using posixAccount attributes, and on the Windows side using sambaSamAccount attributes. We are using the FreeBSD port of LAM to create/modify/manage users and groups internally through a web-based interface running on Apache/php. Further details, including version specifics, etc will follow, just prefer to give you an idea of the problem we're having before wasting your time reading all the really specific stuff. Here's the problem, only a few selected usernames (4 out of about 190 or so), root cannot do a 'cd ~username'. This seems to cause issues with samba, and the list just goes on from there. What happens when one logged in as root types in the command 'cd ~username', is apparently an overflow of some sort which leaves one connected to the LDAP session, a simple [CRTL]+D releases one back to console. This same condition occurs when ANY user (not just root) attempts to cd to one of these 4 user directories; what troubles me most, is this happens regardless of permission issues to the filesystem, as it is apparently during the username lookup that it happens, to what extent the open session can allow someone access as an intruder of sorts I do not know - but nonetheless fear as an administrator, that this could be a security risk as well. I have attached a UNICODE txt file of a session which shows what one gets on the console when one attempts to 'cd ~USERNAME', where 'USERNAME' was edited removing the original username. Here's what I've tried to resolve the issue: First tried re-creating the user objects in the LDAP tree, failing that, I removed them, and re-created them with different UID numbers; essentially making them different objects with different distinctive names (DN's) in the database - nothing, same problem. Removed and re-created the physical directory entries on the disk as well, including proper ownership and permissions each time I changed the associated entry in the LDAP tree as well - even tried changing where/which disk the homedir was physically stored on. Lastly, I tried removing the entire LDAP database, and restoring FIRST the troublesome users only - same problem still. Added in the rest of the users via an LDIF export (backup of db before I toasted it) - still same problem. I figure spelling can't really be an issue; all usernames here follow the same convention (first letter of first name, followed by first 7 characters of last name, no numeric nor punctual characters of any sort). All four usernames are phonetically distinct and do not share any alphabetic pattern whatsoever either (I'd prefer not to send them out to the general list, as this machine is currently in production, and given the nature of what these accounts are causing I'd prefer not opening up a whole new security risk here).

JDK 1.5 and 5.3
Greetings, I have a few questions about jdk and 5.3. 1. If one does a src compile, it requires that the linux-sun-jdk to be installed to bootstrap the compile of native jdk. Why would freebsd not use a binary version of it's own native jdk to bootstrap itself? If that's not feasible, then why would the jdk port not immediately remove all the linux crap that it installs if its not needed? If something is only temporary, then it should be removed immediately after use right :)? 2. Where did the browser plugin go? In 1.3 and 1.4 I symlinked /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so to what ever jdk I was using. For example: /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so - /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so But in 1.5 I don't see this .so, nor does the plugin directory even exist. Is there a new way I am not aware of? 3. Since the linux jdk is not necessary, is there an easy way to get a list of everything that was installed as the req for the native jdk compile so I may remove it all (and its deps)?

Xerox 6250 USB
I've been having a battle with a xerox phaser 6250dp for a good few months now with some bizziare printing issues. The problem, if i push more than one job into it's buffer at once i get one job out and on some large jobs i get corruption, Xerox have no idead what this is, the Cups people could offer no answers (although i've since managed to rule cups out) and any other usb printers connected to this machine work perfectly. The machine in question is a FreeBSD 5.1 Release machine, connection to the printer is via usb, the printer has the latest firmware and all printing is being handled through cups with the ppd driver from the xerox website. So, the question is does anyone have one of these beasties working properly on FreeBSD and would care to share the details with a man at the end of his whits!

READ_DMA timed out on Promise FastTrak100
Hello, I installed an older Promise FastTrak100 controller in my server, and set up a RAID1 mirror with two Samsung ST1614N 160GB drives using the card's BIOS. The initial replication went off without a hitch, and the card BIOS says the RAID volume is fine. However, when I boot FreeBSD, the system reports READ_DMA errors on the second drive, and the array reports a degraded state. I can still mount it, and both drive lights flash when accessing the volume.

Some questions about using ports colleciton

A window appeared and I selected all of the available extensions, but the compiling failed. I did a make clean, and wanted to reinstall the port with the really necessary ports, but the window didn't appear again. I did a make distclean but the result was the same. How can I completely clean the config files from the port? I'd like to restart the whole installation and re-configure the installation process with that window.

I am also looking for package management. I know that a package can be installed using 'pkg_add -r sendmail'. But how to keep update these packages like ports? I need to choose either ports or packages. Why? Either is an appropriate method of updating. Maintaining the ports using something like portupgrade is frequently faster because you can update the port as soon as it is changed. With a package, you have to wait until the package has been built and moved to the mirrors. If a package is available, you save a lot of cpu usage on slow machines. In order to use current versions, both require maintaining an uptodate port structure. You just have to determine which method is an optimum for your usage.

Re: Dual booting w/ two disks
Okay cool, I'll try those when I get home. I think the main issue with me is just finding the actual partition on the second disk to boot windows because I dont know which is it. Thanks!

FreeBSD HOWTO: Software Mirror System Disk
[ From http://dannyman.toldme.com/2005/01/24/freebsd-howto-gmirror-system/ ] A new feature of FreeBSD 5.3 is the ability to set up a software mirror of your system disk. This allows you to boot off either of a pair of hard disks, which will then function as a RAID1, which will ensure system uptime in the face of a single disk failure. As the documentation is a bit sketchy, heres a quick cheat sheet for setting this up with gmirror: (This crib sheet assumes you have a pair of identical IDE (in my case, SATA) drives identified as ad4 and ad6.) 1. Install FreeBSD on to ad4. 2. Reboot with the Install CD. 3. Enter Fixit mode, using Install CD disc2 as the live filesystem 4. # *chroot /dist* # *mount_devfs devfs /dev* # *gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad4* # *gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad6* # *mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt* # *echo geom_mirror_load=YES /mnt/boot/loader.conf* # *echo swapoff=YES /mnt/etc/rc.conf* 5. Edit /mnt/etc/fstab to convert ad4 - mirror/gm0 6. Reboot Thanks to the few dozen people who have come before me, and posted crucial hints to the mailing lists. Thanks also to Ralf S. Engelschall who has a far more verbose explanation of how to do this sort of thing with mis-matched disks. [See http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ ] http://people.freebsd.org/%7Erse/mirror/ You should definately look over the gmirror man page, and review the output of *gmirror list gm0* when swapping out drives. You can disable automatic rebuild, etc. It is quite nice.
