System time suddenly changed after reboot.
Running 5.3-RELEASE. After many years of using FreeBSD, and as many reboots or more, I had occasion to reboot today, and a few hours later discovered to my horror that the system time had suddenly been moved ahead to the year 2020! I did the best I could with the resulting mess, but I am curious if anyone else has seen this, or what would cause it.

Advanced IPFW2 Forward rule problem / bug / misunderstanding
Hello,
I have searched the lists for information pertaining to this problem,
but I haven't been able to find anything relevant to my attempted usage
of IPFWs forward action. If there are any preexisting threads that
address my concern, please direct me to them.
I have also sent this message to the freebsd-ipfw list, as this seems
consistent with some other threads I see in their archive.
Here's the situation :
I have two ISPs, each providing two IPs. One of these ISPs is providing
IPs on totally different subnets, and is MAC sensitive. I have two
internal servers (Actually, just one listening on two addresses), and I
want this server to be available externally to both ISPs. (We're
migrating ISPs, and we don't want any interruption in service). I am
using port forwarding in NATd to allow the necessary ports through to
the server. My problem comes with the replies - FreeBSD has only one
default gateway, and all traffic going out, regardless of which external
IP address it is from, goes to that gateway. Since ISP2 doesen't care
much for routing traffic from ISP1, and vice-versa, I have a problem.
I should note here that I am not trying to load balance - I am perfectly
happy with all outbound LAN connections being NATted over one link, I
just need the ability to service inbound connections on all four IPs.
I am using forward rules in my firewall to match packets belonging to
these other interfaces, to forward them to the appropriate gateway.
According to the manpage for ipfw, If /ipaddr/ is not a local address,
then the port number (if specified) is ignored, and the packet will be
forwarded to the remote address, using the route as found in the local
routing table for that IP. I interpret that as The packet's next hop
will be compared to the routing table, and routed out the appropriate
interface to reach that next hop. The problem is that doesen't seem to
be happening. I have tried fiddling a few knobs to no effect -
specifically net.inet.ip.fastforwarding, net.inet.ip.sourceroute and
net.inet.ip.accept_sourceroute.
Telus is the legacy ISP, so when I'm trying these rules all the
inbound server requests are from the two Telus interfaces. I have
numbered a rule here 42000. This rule will catch all kinds of packets
outbound from ${ext1_ip}:80 and ${ext1_ip}:443 to clients on the internet.
This tells me my inbound NAT translation is working, the packets are
getting to the server, replies are coming back, they're matching my
forward rules, but still going out the wrong interface anyways!
As attached as I am to the idea of doing this via ipfw, if anyone has
any suggestions on alternate methods to achieve the same results, I'd
love to hear them!!!
On to the technical details - I have obscured IP addresses here, but the
networks and subnet masks remain the same

ip_icmp.h strange problem
Hi, I am include ip_icmp.h to a program. The icmp struct in there is exactly the same with the one on: http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/netinet/ip_icmp.h?v=TRUSTEDBSD-AUDIT3 (this is just the first exactly the same struct i found online) I am using FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #1 I have already included header files like tcp.h, ip.h, udp.h etc in my program. Now when i am trying to compile my program with the command: #gcc -o capTool capTool0.1 -lpcap it gives me syntax errors, where n_short values appear: lines: 60, 61, 67, 68 and 89 (in my ip_icmp.h). 71, 72, 78, 79 and 100 (on the online one). After changing the first four to u_short ... it compiles properly... This also happened with some value in ip.h. However i am not sure which one now, because i changed it and it worked immediately (so i didn't even note what exactly i changed..and since it worked to be honest i didn't mind) the problem is with the value in line 89: n_time its_otime;/* Originate */ even if i change that to: u_time its_otime; /* Originate */ it still gives me syntax error before n_time or u_time Can anyone help and explain briefly - if possible - how is this happening? I cannot believe that the n_* values are wrong, but are working when changing them to u_*. I like getting involved with the system header files...but it doesn't really look appropriate to me ;o), or it is? This message is written quickly in case the problem is known.

I have a friend who has spent thousands of dollars keeping his old car running. He could have purchased a new one with a new warranty, etc. and have saved all that money, but he refused. For some individuals, the challenge is the real thrill that they crave. That is an interesting, if very inaccurate, analogy, and as a car guy that does my own wrenching, let me tell you why. Computer gear every year gets cheaper and faster and better. Cars by contrast, have not improved much over the last 20 years - unless you count larger cupholders as an improvement - and espically they haven't changed at all over the last 10. Ever since EFI and airbags became standard on vehicles there just haven't been any compelling or significant improvements. In fact for many models, the engine designs themselves are the same as 20 years ago. For example the 2.4 Turbo used in the 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser went into production in 1994, the 4 speed computer-controlled transmission used in that car went into production in 1989. Many parts for that transmission in fact are the same - how many computers do you know that you can use a 17 year old part in? you need to get out more, Ted, if you think cars haven't improved much in 20 years. I know you can't afford a BMW or Mercedes, but you can test drive them for free if you put on a nice suit. Drive a '95 BMW and a 2005 and you'll see there are huge differences in power, handling, brakes and a whole lot of stuff you can't see, not to mention safety. Anti-skid brakes were a joke when they first came out; now I can stop on a dime. Traction control actually works now. But computers are not comparable to cars. It might make sense to keep an old car going as a new car depreciates much more than your time is worth in the first year, and they aren't cheap. DT __ Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about.

One of the worst things I had happen, I needed, one year later, to go back to vi for a job, and just forgot enough emacs usages, and never went back. I'd love to, but I'd have to find another genius Lisp girlfriend, before I could do that. Likely? That's why emacs isn't the world's most popular editor/IDE. I had a girlfriend with a Lisp.

Discovering File System Corruption
I have a 6.0-RELEASE-p1 box with a GENERIC kerbnel that I'm having some trouble with. I recently reconstituted the machine from being a 5.4 box. I didn't upgrade, I reinstalled. When I was trying to install tripwire, kept getting this message: ./bin/i386-unknown-freebsd_r/siggen missing. Build did not complete successfully. *** Error code 1 I CVSupped a few times, even deleting the tripwire directory completely and letting CVSup re-add it. I finally fixed the problem by copying the missing file from another box. The maintainer of the the port wrote to me: The missing files were missing from the distfile extraction, not the port. The distfile failed to extract properly. That indicates that either tar failed (unlikely) or that you have some kind of filesystem problem. You have a problem much more serious than a mere port that failed to build. I have run fsck in single user mode many times, each time coming back clean. I ran fsck -f -p, to make sure I wasn't having any problems like this ( http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-current_2003/msg04802.html ). How can I determine what is going on?

ADIC FastStor 2
Hello, I'm currently running multiple FreeBSD 5.4 systems, but I'm looking to do backup services on three specific systems. A friend told me to look into ADIC autochangers and I think the FastStor 2 is adequate. I was wondering if this autochanger is compatible with FreeBSD 5.4. I don't see it on the hardware compatibility list, but Google shows me lists where its in people's dmesg's. Secondly, I was looking into Veritas as a backup utility.

If you can't find answer before 7 p.m. (GMT) I will test some changes on my config. Thanks for trying. It does not work for me. I found that xfce4's control panel is able to switch between 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480. (Xfce also resizes the virtual size.) I don't know how it can do it because theoretically the only valid modes are 1024x768 and 1280x1024.

There is extensive evidence (google for that, please), that HT is even slower than a single core in quite a few applications. Moreover, the whole HT implementation has been shown to be a security risk. In the near future intel is going to spend $1.9bn on its new marketing campaign. If you wanna be part of it, buy their CPU, half of the money will be in your nearest billboard. Dual-core is a new, and a very smart concept, which is exactly equal to a dual-cpu configuration in terms of performance per core - plus it provides a huge cut down on power consumption, and a theoretically hugely faster interconnection between the cores (they are physically many times closer).

Re: Dual Core vs HyperThreading vs Dual CPU
I'm going to assume that Dual Core is better (can't believe that they took a step back) ... but, is how does it rate? I know that HyperThreading is definitely != Dual CPU ... but how close does Dual Core get? Dual Core = two physical CPUs, possibly sharing L2 cache. HyperThreading = double sets of registers, machine states etc... for single CPU making it look like 2 CPUs. when one CPU has to wait for say memory access, it then executes program from other thread. it means it can be faster than single CPU, but of course much slower than 2 CPUs. because this strategy make cache data shared and often switched between two different threads, it can result slower performance. the net effect is positive in Intel's tests, but very little positive-to little negative in practice like FreeBSD servers. Many users end in running single-CPU kernel because it actually works faster. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The lines scroll by faster than I can read them, if I tail the logfile. The blocked packets in this case are coming from standard ports to non-standard ports. Doing a reverse lookup on the ips, it would seem that my server has initiated the transfer and the other servers are simply replying.

Thank for the quick reply.
I just want to clarify a few things here Given that I only want
outbound NAT on one interface, is it really necessary to run four
instances of NATd? Can't one instance handle outbound NAT + inbound
sessions on all interfaces, as I have it setup? Also, you're using a
whole bunch of options and features here that are not documented on the
natd man page. I found a writeup by the author of these features, but
I'm not certain if that's in the -STABLE branch or not. (IE, will these
options work with a 6.0-RELEASE natd?)
Also, I'm not certain how your forward rules would work when mine do
not, as you're doing the same thing I did - NAT Translation, then
forward to the appropriate gateway. My experience is that forwarding
packets to the appropriate gateway *does* *not* *work*, as they all
leave via the default route's interface

FreeBSD and mpd
Recently, I upgraded from FreeBSD 4.8 to FreeBSD 6.0. And, I upgraded mpd from version 3.17 to 3.18. After the upgrade, several sites began experiencing problems maintaining their connections (especially under high traffic loads). When I put the 4.8 server back in place, everything began working normally again. This is really perplexing to me since I use FreeBSD 6 and mpd in several locations without any problems. The server is a Celeron processor with 128 MB of RAM, and two em interfaces. I have also added ipf support to the kernel. I am not seeing any errors in the logs concerning either interface. And, I am not seeing any error messages in the MPD log. Does anyone know of any problems with mpd 3.18 on FreeBSD? Or, can someone suggest a good testing strategy to determine where the problem lies?

RE: installing dovecot: no dovecot-openssl.conf
Unless you absolutely need SSL support, edit the configuration so as not to use SSL. If you do want to use SSL, you will probably want to generate yourself a self-signed certificate, and then get a real cert from a 3rd party cert provider when you are ready to go into production. See http://www.openssl.org/docs/HOWTO/certificates.txt Place the resulting files in the expected locations, and give it a go.

Re: Setting up a FreeBSD gateway (more detail) and IPFW
Thanks to those who replied to my previous call for help. Now I think it's time I actually provide some relevant detail. snip Ideally, I'd like to be able to leave my workstation's network settings alone, and set up DHCP; however, a look over the ports suggests that's far more trouble than it's worth for a single client that doesn't really need such flexibility. I don't have any servers running on my workstation, so I've no need to allow traffic from the 'net to get through the firewall to the LAN(servers on the gateway itself are another matter). However, the firewall is still my biggest challenge. A DHCP server *looks* challenging to set up...but it's really a snap! See my example at http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/sheet.cgi?dhcp Also, check out my firewall setup: http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/sheet.cgi?ipfw I don't use named, I just allow outbound DNS lookups through the firewall. Also, my DHCP server points clients at my ISP's DNS servers...

5.3 Kernel module with 6.0
Hi there! I've got a Highpoint RocketRAID 454 Controller running under FreeBSD 5.3. It needs a binary only driver (hpt374.ko) to run. I'd like to upgrade to 6.0 for several reasons, but the latest driver module from highpoint is for 5.3. So here's my question: Is it possible to simply run the 5.3 kernel module under 6.x?

Re: FTP stopped working - resend
(Resent as I didn't get a copy) Giorgos and Derek, Thank you for your replies. I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden ftp started working again. It could have been the Win XP machine I was using to access ftp on my server, I don't know. It was working fine, using WS_FTP Pro, to my other servers over the internet, but it wouldn't work here on its own LAN. I looked at xferlog, and saw that connection lines were entered, but the FTP LOGIN line wasn't there. Now that it is working, both lines show up in xferlog, as before. Giorgos, thanks for the example commands; All agree with your example returns except 'netstat -na | fgrep LISTEN | grep [:.]21', which returns 'grep: No match'. Am I missing something here? Thanks for the troubleshooting steps, I will review those commands and see what they do for me. Giorgios, you say Stability is nice, isn't it? :). Yes. But the problem is that it works so well for so long that I forget all I ever knew, and now it is obvious that I should update the system. I guess it's time to dust off the FreeBSD hat. Darek, It stopped working before I rebooted, and I have done literally nothing to this machine, except use Apache and ftp, for nearly a year. What is frustrating is that the problem went away! What now concerns me is that I did not receive a copy of my own post on this problem from the mailing list server, and I didn't get Giorgos' cc sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I used to get my posts back, but that was before I changed to this gmail account. If I don't receive this post, I'll go after that as a different problem. My ftp problem is gone, but now a mailing list problem? Thanks again for the assistance.

how should I (best practice) set up permissions for rsync ?
Hi, I want to rsync /usr/home from one machine to another, for purposes of backup. This would be a cinch if I just rsyncd -e ssh, as user root from one machine to another. The cron job runs with root perms, and the destination machine gets logged into as root and can write into the destination /usr/home. However, I sort of like the idea that root cannot ssh directly into a freebsd machine, by default. I am inclined not to change this. I also would like to keep default /usr/home permissions as they are. So how should I do this ?

port installation
I am trying to install apache 1.3.34. I cd to the apache13 dir and attempt make install and am told that apache 1.3.33 doesn't exist.

Thank for the quick reply.
I just want to clarify a few things here Given that I only want
outbound NAT on one interface, is it really necessary to run four
instances of NATd? Can't one instance handle outbound NAT + inbound
sessions on all interfaces, as I have it setup?
I'm sure you'll need one instance for each public IP from which you wish
to originate traffic.
Also, you're using a whole bunch of options and features here that
are not documented on the natd man page. I found a writeup by the
author of these features, but I'm not certain if that's in the
-STABLE branch or not. (IE, will these options work with a
6.0-RELEASE natd?)
Yes. I use these features with 6.0-release.
Also, I'm not certain how your forward rules would work when mine do
not, as you're doing the same thing I did - NAT

And that only happens if the machine delivering the spam gets an error when trying to deliver it, since the spammer isn't using legitimate senders addresses and cannot get feedback any other way. Sonny, you define it your way and I'll define it mine. jdow, I define it by the RFC's. If the mailserver you are fetchmailing from has mail in it's mailbox for you to fetch, then according to the SMTP RFC, delivery has occurred from the spammer. I understand that these days people seem to like to redefine words to suit their beliefs of how something should work, but just because you want to define it your way doesen't make it technically correct. I'm going to continue answering your message here mainly for the other readers who might be interested in the discussion. You can just quit reading now since if your going to start redefining terms for e-mail to something other than what the standard defines them as, discussion with you is completely pointless. I wonder what would happen if you went to your wife and told her that your going to redefine marriage to mean that you can sleep with some other woman. Hell, let's all let everyone redefine words however they like. After all if it's good enough for the President of the USA, then it's good enough for Joe Blow, right?!?! I do feel sorry for you since this attitude is the same attitude of the person with a broken down car who doggedly replaces part after part until he stumbles over the broken part by accident, rather than actually learning how the thing works so he can troubleshoot it properly. I am stating the facts of how your setup works and it's inherent flaws, and you obviously don't want to hear them, so you can just go away. All systems have flaws, and if the truth of the flaws in the system your running is too much for you to bear, then you are going to be happier ignorant. The object is to not bug the user with spam. Correct. The secondary object is to keep the machine load for spam as low as possible. Also correct. You have a priority inversion there. No, not at all, you do. The typical M.O. for today's spammer is to find a system that has been compromised that they can use for relaying. Either a end-users system that's got a trojan in it, or a mailserver. These are used as a transmission device. When these transmitters get cranked up, they go from mailserver to mailserver, dumping hundreds to thousands of spams and spam attempts to the server. Once they exhaust their dictionaries and lists, they move on to the next server. When you do ALL spamfiltering in post-delivery mode as you do, then nothing prevents the transmitter from delivering hundreds of spams to your server and users. This takes a lot of machine load to deal with. The more pre-delivery filtering that you can do the less the load. If you blacklist by IP address then when the transmitter hits your server, if it's on a blacklist then not a single one of it's spams gets delivered, and your system spends 0 CPU time in post-processing (ie: stuff like virus scanning, content scanning, etc.) From the users point of view, whether you pre-filter or post-filter, the amount of mail tagged as spam or blocked as spam doesen't change. But the load on the server for pre-filtering is far less than for post-filtering. That is obvious to anyone who takes the time to understand how mail works. I've never been a fan of post-filters for this reason. For some kinds of filtering - like content filtering for example - that is the only way you can do it. But I think it the height of strangeness when SA checks blacklists and such to assign scores. If they really cared about spamfiltering, they would use the IP blacklists in the way they are intended - to block access completely to the spammer, not even let them connect to the server at all. The mail that SA is assigning scores on based on an IP blacklist shouldn't even be in the SA filter to begin with. People do that and discover they have blocked paying customers and the like. If you are going to raw block on black lists at least setup a scoring system that has some wide testing behind it. You are utterly full of bullcrap. In the last 3 years that the ISP I work at has used blacklists, we have had a grand total of ONE customer complain. This is on a server with tens of thousands of mailboxes and hundreds of domains. And our blacklists are set so that if they reject mail, a complete error message is included as to why they are being blacklisted. In fact, not only have we only had 1 customer complain, we have had DOZENS of adminstrators of OTHER domains thank us profusely for helping
