device 31.2 on pci0
ad4: 76319MB FUJITSU MHV2080BH/0025 [155061/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA33
After:
atapci1: Intel ICH6-M SATA150 controller port
0x18a0-0x18af,0x1894-0x1897,0x18b0-0x18b7,0x18b8-0x18bb,0x18c0-0x18c7 irq 18 at

How to properly set-up an SSH tunnel on FreeBSD for automatic backups
Hi, I'm trying to set-up an SSH tunnel between two FreeBSD machines, over a direct cross-wire connection between the two, and I'm having issues in doing so. The question(s) I have is/are probably not FreeBSD specific, but still I hope someone can answer it/them... The situation: I have two servers (one live, and one staging/fall-back server), and between the two of those I have set-up a local network. The live machine is 192.168.1.1 and the fall-back machine is 192.168.1.2. Now, I have already figured out how to synch the files using rsync, and in order to automatically down-synch the live MySQL database to the fall-back machine at specific times a day, I want to be able to run (from the live server) a script that performs commands like this one: ssh 192.168.1.2 mysqladmin -f drop $database The followed approach: In order to be able to run this as root from a cron job, without having to type a password, I tried doing the following (which can be found all over the Internet). -On 192.168.1.2: as root generate a (passphrase-less) public RSA key (i.e. ssh-keygen -t rsa), and in /etc/ssh/sshd_config add a line like AllowUsers [EMAIL PROTECTED] olaf -On 192.168.1.2 I created the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and added the public key of 192.168.168.2 to it The problem: Even after doing a kill -s HUP sshd pid on both machines, I still cannot SSH without being asked for a password. :( Surely this must be something in my SSHD configuration on 192.168.1.2 (or at least so I think). The question(s): -Does anyone know how to properly achieve this, without opening up the fall-back machine to the outside world (it is OK if it's open to 192.168.1.1)? -Does anyone see anything wrong in the below (partially) listed sshd_config options? Additional info: I fiddled around somewhat with /etc/ssh/sshd_config on 192.168.168.2, and I tried various combinations of allowing disallowing the below (all to no avail): PermitRootLogin yes AllowUsers [EMAIL PROTECTED] olaf RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys Are these the only options that should be manipulated for this, and if so, how? Or should I also change some of the below (or other) sshd-config settings? #StrictModes yes # To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here! #PasswordAuthentication yes #PermitEmptyPasswords no # Change to no to disable PAM authentication #ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes # rhosts authentication should not be used #RhostsAuthentication no # Don't read the user's ~/.rhosts and ~/.shosts files #IgnoreRhosts yes # For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts #RhostsRSAAuthentication no # similar for protocol version 2 #HostbasedAuthentication no # Change to yes if you don't trust ~/.ssh/known_hosts for # RhostsRSAAuthentication and HostbasedAuthentication #IgnoreUserKnownHosts no Thanks in advance, and cheers!

strange USB mouse detection behaviour
Hello,

to recognize it: When mouse is unplugged and then plugged in back to
another USB connector while running FreeBSD! /dev/ums0 is available and
mouse is working perfect!
With Logitech USB mouse it is the same.
Is there somebody who can help me?

The question(s) I have is/are probably not FreeBSD specific, but still I hope someone can answer it/them... I don't see any specific problem with what you are trying but ssh connections are prone to so many kinds of error... The first thing you should do is to try your ssh with much verbosity ssh -v -v -v and see what it is doing. Does it try to use your key? If it does, does the remote server reject it? Once you have more details it may be easier to help you fix the problem, or you might find the answer yourself. Common mistakes include: wrong permissions on the key file or .ssh directories and mis/copy-pasting the public key (make sure you didn't get any newlines in it); some mistake in a config file. I say common, because these are the ones I regularly make :-) ssh -v is your friend. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE:problem with linuxpluginwrapper
I have just installed Gnome 2.12 on 6.0stable, and then installed linuxpluginwrapper from the port. After installation I copied libmap.conf-FreeBSD6 to /etc/libmap.conf. However, when I start Mozilla and goto the plugins page, there is nothing installed. Any help to fix this is appreciated. TIA I had the same problem with Firefox. No plugins installed in about:plugins. When I went to /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins I notice that with 6.0, linuxpluginwrapper doesn't add the links to the .so/.xpt plugins there. After adding them manually, Firefox recognized the plugins. I am not sure if this is the same for Mozilla (I actually have never used Mozilla standard) but I don't see why it would be different (Made by the same people). If you need help finding the location of the plugins, I can give them to you later (@ M$ machine @ work) when I get home. Also, linuxpluginwrapper now only installs linux-flashplugin I believe. At least I had to install acroread seperately. I haven't tried to install realplayer as it sucks and never seems to work in Firefox. JDK 1.4 should install a plugin in /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugin when you build it. If you need directions to do this as it is not as simple as 'make install clean' here is a link: http://www.freebsdwiki.net/index.php/Java If you install acroread and have difficulty getting it to work, read through this thread: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1176741+1180218+/usr/local/www/db/text/2005/freebsd-questions/20051113.freebsd-questions Last, Mozilla may have a different plugin dir it checks instead of /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins.

Re: How to properly set-up an SSH tunnel on FreeBSD for automatic backups
Hi all, Thanks for the replies! I also received several very helpful off-list replies, and they caused me to opt for my plan B, which is simply a 'rendez vous' type pull-mechanism. I already had a nightly cron job set up on the live server that neatly dumps the MySQL DB instances to a convenient directory. Also, I already had set up Rsync such that it only ever allows connections from my fall-back machine (I use this for the nightly file syncing), so I just decided to add an additional DB import script which is scheduled well after the DB dumping on the live machine takes place. Those dumps are now picked up using rsync (called from the fall-back machine) and they are then simply locally processed and worked into my DB. The main reason for deciding for this mechanism after all is that for two normal users I want (and need!) to have SSH access enabled from all over the world, using a client like PuTTY, using password authentication, yet opening up SSH in anyway for root is for me a no-no (I see too many SSH hack attempts in my daily security reports in order to feel comfortable with that ;) ). O.k., at the expense of having a perhaps slightly less elegant DB syncing mechanism I have opted for the above and I just tested it and it works fine...:) Cheers, Olafo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If the sanity limit is set to zero, no sanity checking is performed and any offset is acceptable. This option overrides the limit and allows the time to be set to any value without restriction; however, this can happen only once. After that, ntpd will exit if the limit is exceeded.

egress interface index lookup through a route SACK_RAW socket call
How do I construct a routing raw socket call to retrieve the outgoing interface index for a particular route that is destined out of an interface other than Ethernet such as a point to point? With Ethernet interfaces I was able to contruct a rt_msghdr with RTM_GET and RTA_DST- retrieve the gateway IP (RTA_GATEWAY) for the route then recursively call the same function passing the gateway IP and the sock_addr_in -s_port would return with the interface index. But this does not work with PPP interfaces or other non-Ethernet interfaces. Any insight to what i am lacking in the route request would be appreciated.

On Wed, Nov 16, 2005 at 12:09:45PM -0500, Chuck Swiger wrote: [...] Running ntpdate -b at boot to forcibly syncronize the clock is a pretty good idea, but you actually can convince ntpd to sync even a clock which is badly off via: -g Normally, ntpd exits if the offset exceeds the sanity limit, which is 1000 s by default. If the sanity limit is set to zero, no sanity checking is performed and any offset is acceptable. This option overrides the limit and allows the time to be set to any value without restriction; however, this can happen only once. After that, ntpd will exit if the limit is exceeded. This option can be used with the -q option. The advantage of `ntpdate' vs `ntpd -g' is that ntpdate does it _immediately_, whereas `ntpd -g' takes a bit of time before it decides which server to sync to. This means that if your clock is out by hours/days, there will be a period of 3-7 minutes after you boot where your system time is badly incorrect, and then you have this big skip when it corrects. This could be a problem if you've got overanxious users running `make' and other time sensitive programs almost immediately after boot; not to mention weird skips in your various log files.

Re: Installation of Freebsd on external hard drive
Hi Eric and list, unfortunately my BIOS (of a Travelmate 8005) does not support boot from USB devices. I'll search for some other information that comes from multi-os users. Thanks again, MC I've installed it on USB keys and external USB drives with no problem. Since I was only using those for experimentation, I never modified my boot loader. My BIOS provides a boot menu for selecting the boot device, of which external USB device is an option. I found this cleaner, since when not using those devices I do not have to go through the FreeBSD boot menu. Hints? For my situation... I booted from the CD. When asked to slice and partition my disk... I chose the external USB device. I selected the 'standard boot loader'. Then the rest of the magic is handled by my BIOS. Don't know if that helps you much. -- Regards, Eric ___ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

help re-writing boot record
I have read the handbook and man pages but found some inconsistencies, so that has prompted my question to the list. Also, I am being careful in needing to re-write the boot record because this is an older system that won't boot FreeBSD correctly from CD-ROM or from floppy (it will boot from floppy but cannot find the floppy drive it booted from, a strange weird problem from the BIOS.) I have a system running FreeBSD 4.11 Release. This system has 2 SCSI drives. At one time this system was a dual boot system, that has since been dedicated to only FreeBSD. I needed more space in the root partition and have utilized the other OS partitions re-labeling them as FreeBSD and doing newfs on them, and moving all the files. The system will boot from the new root partition, but not automatically. The new root partition is on: /dev/da1s1e I have added a boot.config file, but that hasn't helped. My boot.config file contains: da(1,e)/kernel When I need to reboot this system, I have to type in this at the boot prompt when the system complains it cannot find the boot device: da(1,e)/kernel to get the system to boot. So, what do I need to do to re-label the disk(s) to get the system to boot automatically?

Release engineering confusion
Hi all, I'm a little confused about which tags to use in my supfiles for cvsup. I've installed 6.0-RELEASE, and really want to stay with STABLE. AFAICT, in my supfile, I should have the following to do so: *default tag=RELENG_6_0 ...is that correct? I used this, and after a buildworld I got an error. I'm not concerned about that right now though. Also, is RELENG_6 considered to be the most current, up-to-date release of the 6.0 track, as opposed to STABLE?

rcorder on 6.0
I find this a bit odd and would like someone to kindly explain it. While looking at rcorder on /etc/rc.d/* I noticed this start order: ... ... /etc/rc.d/ppp-user /etc/rc.d/ipfw /etc/rc.d/nsswitch /etc/rc.d/ip6addrctl /etc/rc.d/atm2 /etc/rc.d/pfsync /etc/rc.d/pflog /etc/rc.d/pf ..how I interepret this is that userland 'pppoe' is starting before pfsync/pflog and pf. - Am I correct? This is exactly the opposite of openbsd. I think I can figure out a way to re-arrange these so that ppp-user starts AFTER the pf stuff...is there any reason this is done this way?

Obviously there are many more considerations in calculating total environmental cost but the router is an awful long way ahead here. What's more at 10p/kWh the PC has used £100 more in the year.

Yes, production servers should track -STABLE, since it's, well, stable... -CURRENT is the development branch, so for a production server, don't use that. But RELENG_6_0 is the 6.0-RELEASE tag, and you'll never get any updates (bug fixes, security patches, etc). This is why I am confused, because as per the handbook (20.2.2.2): For these reasons, we do not recommend that you blindly track FreeBSD-STABLE, and it is particularly important that you do not update any production servers to FreeBSD-STABLE without first thoroughly testing the code in your development environment. Also in there, it states that one does NOT need to follow stable to get the latest security/bug fixes, which makes me believe that on my production network, I should track RELENG_6_X (security/bug fix), and in my devel lab, RELENG_6 (STABLE). Appreciating, but 'disagreeing' with your comment that _6_0 will NOT get the sec/bug updates from my understanding so far. It is my understanding that _6_0 will get ALL the bug/sec updates, but nothing else because it is *frozen*, making it preferrably the track to follow in a pure, 24/7/365 environment, because new 'tricks' or 'features' are not introduced here.

Steve Ultimately it depends on how much downtime and difficulty you're willing to endure, just in case the -STABLE branch ends up not working for your servers for some particular reason. We use -RELEASE almost exclusively (we have one -STABLE machine, because we needed a newer version of a kernel driver) as we manage hundreds of servers, and there's no one -STABLE release (to properly describe the -STABLE version you're using you have to have the date and time of the cvsup, as opposed to -RELEASE versions being like 5.4-RELEASE-p9). It's easier, and thus more reliable, for us to have stable(heh) version strings. If you're just working with a handful of servers, -STABLE would probably be fine, as long as you have backups and know how to revert to previous versions when it becomes necessary. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Steve Ultimately it depends on how much downtime and difficulty you're willing to endure, just in case the -STABLE branch ends up not working for your servers for some particular reason. We use -RELEASE almost exclusively (we have one -STABLE machine, because we needed a newer version of a kernel driver) as we manage hundreds of servers, and there's no one -STABLE release (to properly describe the -STABLE version you're using you have to have the date and time of the cvsup, as opposed to -RELEASE versions being like 5.4-RELEASE-p9). It's easier, and thus more reliable, for us to have stable(heh) version strings. I can appreciate the fact it's easier to follow one string for so many servers. If you're just working with a handful of servers, -STABLE would probably be fine, as long as you have backups and know how to revert to previous versions when it becomes necessary. I do only have a handful of servers, however thousands of users, and indeed, I do have backups. The problem arises in a criticality that 20 minutes of downtime would lead to a severe problemwhich brings up another good question...how do YOU revert back to a previous release? If you manage so many servers, I'd love to know what type of routine you'd use to revert back (and so would many others I'd think ;) Usually, as per my last message Re: Chad, the upgrades usually fail during one or two places: buildworld, or rebooting after installkernel. Both of those are easy to recover from. *knock on wood*, I've never had a showstopper after installworld before. I wouldn't know what to do if that happened. If installkernel reboots, then I've always been good after that.

I'm sure I have my notes from that episode somewhere; post back if nothing else works and I'll try to dig them up, or at least share my working xorg.conf. YMMV. Which LCD type is it (WUXGA, WSXGA, other)? Hmm... perhaps that is why the Inspiron owner's manual is so vague on this subject; the actual display specs may vary depending on what options you choose.

RE: Release engineering confusion
In production (at an ISP), what is the best to follow...RELENGX_X or RELENG_X? I have 4.x, 5.x boxes in production, and this 6.x box is being prepared for the same. See the Handbook: 20.2.2.2 Who Needs FreeBSD-STABLE? Thank you. However, that entire page out of the handbook pretty much clarifies that a production environment should *not* track either STABLE or CURRENT. So I'm assuming I'm best off with RELENG_6_0 etc, etc? Does anyone here actually run STABLE or CURRENT in a production environment? I've personally had the most luck with RELENG_4 which is still my main box, but now my curiosity has got the best of me. I generally track -RELEASE but my production boxes are currently at 5.4-STABLE from a while ago since there was an issue I was trying to fix and was hoping someone had put a patch in to fix whatever my issue was :-) My issue has not shown up since and my boxes have been working fine. But in general I play it conservative and track -RELEASE Thanks Chad, Do you 'sup and build in a devel lab first, or do you perform your upgrades in real-time, and if something fails go from there? Major version changes I try and do in a lab first and make sure all is good. -RELEASE patch levels I do live and have never had an issue. The current switch to -STABLE was also live since I was in a bind trying to figure out why I was getting a hanging machine... Thanks again. So, essentially, it's ok for me to track a release...any release and feel confident that I am secure (at least up to date as I can be) without introducing new *feature* bugs into a live environment? Realistically, that's exactly what answer I've been looking for. My systems perform very particular tasks. I don't need anything new, I just want to ensure I've got all the sec/bug patches that our fine fellows have produced, and we know are stable (not as in FBSD-STABLE). I don't have the time, nor staff resources to test every single update in a lab before we deploy, hence the reason for this whole entire thread.

Need urgent help regarding security
Good Day! I think we have a serious problem. One of our old server running FreeBSD 4.9 have been compromised and is now connected to an ircd server.. 195.204.1.132.6667 ESTABLISHED However, we still haven't brought the server down in an attempt to track the intruder down. Right now we are clueless as to what we need to do.. Most of our servers are running legacy operating systems(old versions mostly freebsd) Also, that particular server is running - ProFTPD Version 1.2.4 which someone have suggested to have a known vulnerability.. I really need all the help I can get as the administration of those servers where just transferred to us by former admins. The server is used for ftp. Thanks.. __ Yahoo!

RE: Need urgent help regarding security
I think we have a serious problem. One of our old server running FreeBSD 4.9 have been compromised and is now connected to an ircd server.. 195.204.1.132.6667 ESTABLISHED Ran into this recently. Please post the entire output from: # top # w # last # ps -aux # uname -a ...after that, depending on the intruders knowledge and depending on what/if they are covering up, we can probably tell what is going on via further troubleshooting. The output from: # ls -la /tmp would probably help too. However, we still haven't brought the server down in an attempt to track the intruder down. Right now we are clueless as to what we need to do.. Most of our servers are running legacy operating systems(old versions mostly freebsd) Also, that particular server is running - ProFTPD Version 1.2.4 which someone have suggested to have a known vulnerability.. I really need all the help I can get as the administration of those servers where just transferred to us by former admins. The server is used for ftp. First...just relax. Do not panic. Just let them do what they are going to do (with hopes you have backups), and the problem can be found and eradicated. Now, answer these: - do you have an external firewall in front of this box - do you have a firewall running on this box - is this box Internet facing - is this machines ONLY purpose FTP Another thing...what is the IP of the box. I can quickly nmap it, give you instructions on how to config IPFW firewall into the mix, tell you what ports are listening/responding and send you a ruleset to block all ports in/out to/from that IP. Don't be concerned about finding out who did what at this point...again, relax. Running IRC usually doesn't appear they are malicious. THey are likely just trying to use your bandwidth/resources. Provide the above, and something can be done.

If not, change your options for the port by: # cd /usr/ports/net/nagios-plugins; make config including the net-snmp option, and reinstall nagios-plugins. spot on. thank you so much Lowell _ Dont just search.

BSD 5.4 fs problem...
Hi, I have FreeBSD 5.4 installed. I found each time I use ports to install software it always hangs there (i have only SSH to connect it) and there is even no ICMP reply (with ping). I got to restart the system and find messages of not properly umount. 'Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a WARNING: / was not properly dismounted WARNING: /tmp was not properly dismounted WARNING: /usr was not properly dismounted WARNING: /var was not properly dismounted ' I wounder if this is harddisk error and use 'fsck -y' to check after it reboot. I know I should umount fs before 'fsck', but I have no monitor to see it... -- Best Regards, Yours Xinyu.Zeng ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One of our old server running FreeBSD 4.9 have been compromised and is now connected to an ircd server.. 195.204.1.132.6667 ESTABLISHED I believe I'm having the same issue as you, except on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE. I notice a connection to the same IP and port as you posted (which by the way is an Undernet IRC server). I also see a psyBNC server listening on port 7978: server# sockstat -l4 | grep psybnc USER COMMANDPID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS wicked6 psybnc 15819 3 tcp4 *:7978*:* Funny thing is there is no process by wicked6 (or by anyone currently) called psybnc. I can connect to an IP on that server on port 7978 and get a psyBNC though. I've checked for other processes by wicked6, nothing. It's trying to make a connection on 6667 to that IP as I said: server1# netstat -n | grep 6667 tcp4 0 0 xx.xx.xx.xx.64243195.197.175.21.6667SYN_SENT top lists nothing using up much CPU. /tmp doesn't show much except many session files. I found a psybnc.tar.gz file in a user's home directory but cannot find any directories with psybnc config files or binaries. Port 6667 is blocked by my datacenter so this is not actually doing any damage against the target, but I wanted to post here and let you know I'm having the same problem on a different version of FBSD with everything up to date. To Steve: I don't want to post the full outputs of those since this is a client server, but I will say the following points: - top lists nothing significant. 97% idle CPU - w only shows myself and one other legit user logged in who is editing config files with vi - last shows nothing but myself and that one other user - ps -aux doesn't say anything about psyBNC or bnc. everything looks normal as of now - It's a FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE machine with a generic kernel except with quota support -Mark -- GnuPG Public Key: http://www.mkproductions.org/mk_pubkey.asc Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
