Hi Matt, I quote : What raid hardware?

boot problem (stage 2 boot?)
Just installed on a new system and I am unable to boot. Currently when that system boots it comes up with what looks like the following example from the handbook FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel boot: from my reading this is a boot2 stage booting from cd and going into Fixit it fdisk shows partition 1, 2, and 3 unused, and Freebsd is on partition 4. I thought it should be on partition 1? Note: on install I choose the Standard boot manager. I have tried playing with fdisk and disklabel to try to cure this problem, but continually get the example shown above. With none of the above efforts working I have tried changing the boot manager and no luck, both by reinstalling and just by using sysinstall to modify the boot manager.I did get F1 FreeBSD when trying the FreeBSD boot manager option, but it still did not start the system.

RE: Wine
I did a direct install. I'm aware of the report and have read it many times. I thought I'd give it a go from the original CD, as I don't have a Linux machine around. One advantage I have is that I have a version for Small Business so I don't have to worry about Access. I had no issues with files not being found, as the report mentioned, so that part seems to be in error. The install terminates part way through, and IE is not installed. Still, the files are extracted, the DLLs are installed, and it almost works. I may just copy over the files from my Win98 box, and update the Wine registry for it. That may work better.

Boot loader won't start windows on other HD
I know questions like this have been asked before, but I can't find a straight answer! Forgive me though if I have missed one. I have a Windows 2000 machine into which I wanted to put an extra hard disk to run FreeBSD. In my pre-installation reading, I noticed that FreeBSD offers a mechanism to boot alternative operating systems, so I opted to put the new FreeBSD disk as 0, and move the original Windows one to position 1. Installation went fine, and I opted to install with the bootloader, and sure enough, on startup I get a little menu saying: F1 FreeBSD F5 Disk 1 If I press F1, FreeBSD boots as expected. However, if I press F5 (it seems I have to do this twice otherwise I get FreeBSD again), I get a prompt saying Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader boot: Now what? It doesn't seem to matter what I put here, it won't make Windows start. Is there something particular I should enter? Have I missed something else? Please, if you reply, go easy with me - there is a strong chance I won't understand! If you want to suggest that I copy something to somewhere for instance, or install something, *please* spell out in words of one syllable how. I dont' want to be spoon-fed for ever, but I haven't even got off the initial prompt after login yet!!

I thought it should be on partition 1? How did you arrange the file systems when you installed. Did you use the defaults, or your own layout? The defaults would have given you 5 partitions inside of the first slice. For example: ad0s1a - / ad0s1b - swap ad0s1d - /var ad0s1e - /tmp ad0s1f - /usr Did you not use the 'a' partition for your root file system? Second stage boot code only knows how to find third stage on the 'a' partition. More details on your installation would help in trying to figure out what the problem is. -Glenn Note: on install I choose the Standard boot manager. I created the above partitions you listed manually and specified to my choice sizes, and i did choose 'a', or entire disk on creation. The entire disk option is in the screen that lest you create slices, which is completely different from the screen that lets you create your partitions. (a, b, d, e, f, etc) Keep in mind that what is called a partition in other OS's is called a slice in FreeBSD. You mentioned above that FreeBSD was installed in partition 4. Assuming that's slice 4, are the device names something like /dev/ads4x. where the x is the partition. Through Fitit, fdisk shows partions 1,2,and 3 unused, and Freebsd sitting in 4. Can you send the output that shows that? bsdlabel shows on /dev/ad0s1 the six partitions, a, b, c, d, e, f /dev/ad0s1 is slice one. (partition 1 in the dos/windows world) Sysinstall, from the boot cd, shows the following disk name: ad0 and freebsd on ad0s1 That is exactly as it should be. disklabel shows ad0s1a, ad0s1d, ad0s1b, ad0s1e, ad0s1f, none of these partitions currently show a mount point, with the exception of b, which is swap. so now am even more puzzled by no mount showing. disklabel output can't give you mount points. Can you provide the output from disklabel? That would help in figuring out what's going on.

I had the 2nd HD get a dma failure and then lock the machine, so I guess I'm gonna have to pull it back out of service and run it on the bench for a while to be sure everything is fixed and running right again.

Re: interface alias at start-up
FWIW: That doesnt work for me :( Make sure that you replaced rl0 with the name of your interface, which can be found with a simple ifconfig -a. any other way? write a simple shell script to do it or do it manually with the following: ifconfig interface inet ip netmask subnet mask alias However, using your rc.conf should bind them when you boot up. I have heard that sometimes you have to statically add routes to your kernel routing table for aliases to work, however I don't know if there is any truth to that. You can try adding them with the following command: route add -host ip 127.0.0.1 0 Bow Sineath Class of 2006, the Citadel [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, 27 Aug 2005 14:26:32 -0700 Carstea Catalin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: how tu setting-up interface alias at start-up # example /etc/rc.conf part defaultrouter=192.168.2.1 ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.2.222 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_rl0_alias0=inet 192.168.2.2 netmask 0x ifconfig_rl0_alias1=inet 192.168.2.3 netmask 0x ifconfig_rl0_alias2=inet 192.168.2.4 netmask 0x ifconfig_rl0_alias3=inet 192.168.2.5 netmask 0x ifconfig_rl0_alias4=inet 192.168.2.6 netmask 0x ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Re[2]: how to know if i'm under flood?
In response to your first question, I would highly recommend setting up a verbose firewall if you have not already done so. Personally, I use ipfw but there are a variety of options available to you (pf/ipf/ipfw/ipfw2), so check out the handbook and figure out which one you want to use. Doing this is a vital step in preventing attacks and keeping track of the connections on your system. There are also a variety of sysctl variables that can help in handling DoS attacks, if you find yourself being flooded on a regular basis then you may want to play with some of them. There are a variety of ways to watch for DoS attacks and floods, but setting up a firewall is a vital part of that. If you need any help doing so then feel free to ask and I would be happy to help (however I am only familiar with ipfw and ipf) but be sure to read the handbook first. And how exactly use netstat for this purpose? I see many options in man pages. try netstat -a. I've never used netstat for this purpose but I believe that may work, it will list all of your current connections. If you have a lot of them then you are probably being DoS'd.

I also get a large amount of atttacks via ssh, i decided that the people who have access to my server (only 12) know what their usernames are. my decision was to set up a swatch script to monitor the types of errors that are picked up in the logs: -if the attempt was with a username that doesnt exist - i add the ip to a db of banned ips and flush and restart ipfw -if it is from a username that does exist - i give the person 5 tries, if by the 5th try they cant get in, i add the ip to the db as stated above. it sounds pretty harsh, but it definetely stops those idiots. ive got a large list of ips, and from nmapping them most are from people running entry level linux distros with many holes in their security setup. i could get revenge, but not worth it. if anyone is curious about the script let me know, Ben Maarten Sanders wrote: On Thu, 2005-08-25 at 07:22 -0400, Lee Capps wrote: On 11:18 Wed 24 Aug , Chris St Denis wrote: How can I easily auto deny after x failed attempts?

if this server was used by 100+ people i would of course not have such a harsh security script set up. everyone who uses it has great experience and understands the consequences. like i said before, this is usually for personal use and has about 12 users total. if this was used to manage ssh on something big i would lower the security measures. hope you can understand some now :) Ben [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -if the attempt was with a username that doesnt exist - i add the ip to a db of banned ips and flush and restart ipfw I'm curious about this bit - what do you do about accidentally mistyped usernames by valid users? cheers, -- Joel Hatton -- Security Analyst| Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland| WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
gnome2 and packages cleanup
Hey everyone, I was installing gnome2 from the ports collection (on dial-up!) and it took like 3 days of constant work when it finally ran out of space on my /usr drive (only using a 6.4gig). I thought this would be more than enough, but alas... So I guess Gnome is too much for my wee system so I want to go back to using enlightenment. My issue is that now my system is full of packages that I don't need. How do I clean up my system of all of these packages without deleting packages that enlightenment uses??

A quick question about X11 and securelevels
I understand the things like not allowing the system clock to change and not allowing formatting of filesystems, but I want to know why you can't run x11 when you have a securelevel greater than or equal to one. there is no _serious_ reason I wish to know, I'm just curious and google keeps feeding me tutorials on making my FreeBSD machine furiously hard to crack. :) Thanks, Tom ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: boot problem (stage 2 boot?)
Hi guys, Just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful suggestions. Played with things and got into the geometry idea as the possible cause. Did some more work, adjusting bios and geometry settings around the disk and just a few minutes ago after yet another go at installing the laptop just booted up! I in fact looked twice to make sure it booted on its own and not with the cd installed, it was not completely inserted and I still pulled the disk out completely to convince myself. What I finally did was to do a fdisk during a FixIT session and marked down the settings. The laptop bios would not take all six digits of the cylinders, so I entered five of them, adjusted the heads, and when setting up the disk during the install of FreeBSD set the geometry of the disk to match what fdisk reported and that seemed to do the trick. It is an older laptop so I guess that it was not designed with a 60G hard drive in mind. The previous drive was only 6G. Big difference. Again, the laptop has booted, and is currently doing some compiling. Hopefully the rest will go without problems, the laptop ran fine with the 6G drive so I am not expecting any other problems. The only real annoying part is that it is a real pain to find detailed info on this western digital drive, Thanks again, Sean ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, given that you are willing to accept (risk?) 5 attempts at a legitimate account I don't believe there would be any greater risk in allowing the same for invalid accounts also, given that the likelihood of gaining access to those is actually less - and it would make your script simpler, too, whilst preventing the (albeit, unlikely in your situation) possibility of a DoS to a valid user. To be honest, reversing your logic somewhat wrt valid/invalid accounts and 1/5 attempts could have merit also. That said, I'd be interested in seeing how you implement this with swatch as I'm looking at log parsing solutions in general. best regards, -- Joel Hatton -- Security Analyst| Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland| WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
