I am particularly interested in having a FreeBSD certification..
Well, let me put it this way: bsdcertification.org is run by a number of
people well known in the *BSD world as making a valuable contribution to
{Free,Open,Net,Dragonfly}BSD and others.
If you look at the list of names in the left hand column on this page:
http://www.bsdcertification.org/index.php?NAV=Meet%20Us
then with particular reference to FreeBSD you may well recognise:
Dan Lagille (Freshports, BSD Diary)
Scott Long(leading FreeBSD committer: wrote large chunks of SCSI
system I believe)
Dru Lavigne (Wrote 'BSD Hacks' and 'Big Scarey Daemons' OnLamp column)
Wes Peters(Another leading FreeBSD committer)
Jeremy C Reed (Leading FreeBSD Advocacy person)
Greg Lehey(Author of 'The Complete BSD'. Former member of core@,
well known on this list)
Marshall Kirk McKusick (co-author of 'The Design and Implementation
of the FreeBSD Operating System')
[I don't claim any sort of infallible knowledge here -- this is merely the

done. Please feel free to correct me if you know better.]

Horrible: Apache corrupting files?
Hello, I have Apache 2 running on FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE on a laptop on a small office lan. Whenever one of the other machines (mostly Macs) makes a request for a certain page on my machine, it is delivered succesfully but the file itself is absolutely scrambled beyond recognition into a binary file. Subsequent requests rescramble it into a different but equally nonsense binary. I've looked with a binary editor and it really is completely messed up. I can restore the file from a good archive copy, but every time the same thing happens. The file was originally created on a mac by Flash (it's a 1.1k html file which just embeds a flash movie). Recently I copied it to and from a Solaris box via ftp from an Windows NT machine (although it wasn't opened afaik - a long story, clearly, which also involves a usb flash drive...). Anyone have any ideas? The file itself is inconsequential, but the fact of such blatant and relentless data corruption is very worrying to me! I don't know if it's the file or my system or some combination... I'd really appreciate some advice, I've been staring at it for two days and I'm starting to bite my nails...

in your pf.conf would set the upper limit for number of entries in a

When I add this option I get a Syntax error

PAM/SSH/OPIE configuration without /etc/passwd
Hi there, I'm currently playing around with OPIE/PAM on 6.0-RELEASE-p7 and have managed to stump myself with what I thought would be a relatively simple setup... My goal is to have SSH allow authorized_keys and OPIE authentication but deny all other forms of authentication. Obviously I want authentication to be denied if the user has neither configured as well. For the record OPIE is working for authenticating su, and I can use it as an option for sshd logins so I don't think my problem lies there. I simply can't turn logins with /etc/passwd off and still use OPIE. Initially I thought it would be as simple as making sure that my sshd_config file was configured to use PAM and then commenting out the pam_unix line in /etc/pam.d/sshd: # auth authrequiredpam_nologin.so no_warn authsufficient pam_opie.so no_warn no_fake_prompts authrequisite pam_opieaccess.so no_warn allow_local #auth sufficient pam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass #auth sufficient pam_ssh.so no_warn try_first_pass #auth requiredpam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass However after playing around for a bit I realized that this opened up the system to logins without any authentication if the user didn't have OPIE configured at all (and the docs warn about ending a chain without a required policy line. So I tried replacing pam_unix with: authrequiredpam_deny.so no_warn However for some reason even if OPIE is available it still fails to authenticate using PAM so I guess I misunderstood how sufficient works (at least with respect to pam_deny in a chain) since I would expect it to break out of the chain if pam_opie passes which it should if the account has an entry in /etc/opiekeys. I've included my sshd_config below as well. Port 22 Protocol 2 AllowGroups ssh-users DenyGroups nologin PasswordAuthentication no PermitEmptyPasswords no PermitRootLogin no UsePAM yes ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes StrictModes yes UseDNS yes UsePrivilegeSeparation yes X11Forwarding no TCPKeepAlive yes MaxAuthTries 3 MaxStartups 8:50:16 Compression delayed Banner /etc/ssh/sshd-login-banner Subsystem sftp/usr/libexec/sftp-server I've read the docs here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pam/index.html I thought I understood them but, I'm sure that there's just something simple that I'm missing and I can't find any examples of somebody else who has used this exact configuration anywhere. This is my first venture in the land of PAM so any help would be greatly appreciated! cheers, Gabe -- Gabriel O'Brien 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]

Try removing the libtool ports, rebuilding xorg-libraries and anything else in the dependency path from it to gimp, and gimp should rebuild fine. You didn't mention houw you were trying to do your upgrade, or what vintage your other ports were, so this is probably the most complete advice we can give on the information you have provided. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

BTW don't bridge your wireless and wired networks if you don't have to. If your only goal is to get internet access for your wireless clients, it's probably safer to just add another NAT zone. Sounds like wise advice, but how do I go about this? Just add another NAT, sound simple enough, but how do I do that? You wrote you had NAT and PF already running. There is no difference between adding a second NAT zone and creating the first one. I guess safer means there will be no access to my wired network (LAN) if I add another NAT zone? Help would be much appreciated ;-) If you don't route between your wireless and wired networks and just let both of them communicate with the internet, there will be no access between them. One other thing: if I (still) decide (in the future) to clone, would I clone the internal Ethernet card or the one attached to my ISP? As your ISP probably wouldn't accept your local IPs, you would have to bridge between your two local NICs, otherwise you would circumvent your NAT setup.

portmanager and linux-flashplugin6 removed
Hi I've just cvsup'ed ports and run portmanager -s. Part way through it asks me if it can remove linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_3 because of the licencing issue. When I say no portmanager quits. Actual output below. 1) Would it be possible for portmanager to at least allow me to complete the status request? 2) Since I installed linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_3 before macromedia changed the licence shouldn't I be able to keep it? 3) Is the FreeBSD project required to make sure that I remove this port as opposed to bringing it to my attention that I may be legally required to remove it? Thanks for enlightenment Chris linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_3 /www/linux-flashplugin6 is no longer in the ports collection, see /usr/ports/MOVED this port must be removed for portmanager to continue is it OK to remove linux-flashplugin-6.0r79_3 from your system?

nss_ldap/pam_ldap: problems binding
Hi, I've been trying to get my ldap authentication working, something I have done before with little issue, but this time around it is causing real pain. Pretty much the same problems Jan HREHO was having back in Febuary - http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-February/112066.html I tried the suggested solution to that - moving the slapd startup script into /etc/rc.d, but that didn't help, same problem just further up in the boot process. Another possibility I came across was putting the line 'bind_policy soft' in /etc/ldap.conf (symlinked to /usr/local/etc/ldap.conf /usr/local/etc/nss_ldap.conf). This seemed to do the job, until I then tried to ssh onto localhost using an ldap user account. It failed with Apr 19 22:48:10 svr1 sshd[660]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable Apr 19 22:48:10 svr1 sshd[660]: fatal: login_get_lastlog: Cannot find account for uid 2000 Removing the bind_policy from the file then retrying, it worked fine. The second solution I tried was to change the slapd.sh file to just launch the deamon i.e. '/usr/local/libexec/slapd'. This seems to work, but it is very unelegent, and it may have knock on effects I am unaware of at this time. I'm more interested in getting the process right to set it up at this stage, rather than hacking away to get a working system (I'm working on a series of documents). I'm doing this on a virgin 6.0 installation, cvsuped with the latest ports, fresh install of openldap22, pam_ldap and nss_ldap. So the question is, is this a common problem, if not then what I am doing wrong to create it, if so then is there a more elequent solutions than hacking away at the startup script? The thread that suggests the bind_policy also mentions 'nss_reconnect_* parameters', which certainly sounds like it could be the answer, but I havn't been able to google anything about them.

The problem you're going to run into since the problems you're having seem to be with the ATA code is that there is a good chance you're not going to be able to dump the crash dump to disk. I'd highly recommend using a serial or firewire console. The problem persisted so I rebuilt with the debugging options you gave me. Other than the firewire console option if a panic occurs where do I go to obtain a backtrace? Yes ado1a is dying with a complete failure it seems so I am guessing I am going to need to look into the firewire option.

'setup' is from semi-stateful firewall functionality while 'keep-state' is from fully stateful one. You can't use both in one rule without strange consequences. Just delete 'setup' words in both rules - it'll probably be fine. Yes you can. When I used IPFW I did it that way and never had any problems. All it's saying is that a dynamic rule can only be setup by the legitimate first packet of a tcp handshake, and not by an out-of-sequence tcp packet. Once the dynamic rule exists, it passes packets with any tcp flags. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am particularly interested in having a FreeBSD certification..
Well, let me put it this way: bsdcertification.org is run by a number of
people well known in the *BSD world as making a valuable contribution to
{Free,Open,Net,Dragonfly}BSD and others.
If you look at the list of names in the left hand column on this page:
http://www.bsdcertification.org/index.php?NAV=Meet%20Us
then with particular reference to FreeBSD you may well recognise:
Dan Lagille (Freshports, BSD Diary)
Langille, actually --- and you forgot BSDCan. http://www.langille.org/
Scott Long(leading FreeBSD committer: wrote large chunks of SCSI
system I believe)
http://people.freebsd.org/~scottl/
Dru Lavigne (Wrote 'BSD Hacks' and 'Big Scarey Daemons' OnLamp column)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dru_Lavigne
Wes Peters(Another leading FreeBSD committer)
I couldn't find a good home page for Wes, but agree
with Matt's evaluation. Wes is a member of FreeBSD
core team, last I recall, as well. Perhaps someone knows
his URI.
Jeremy C Reed (Leading FreeBSD Advocacy person)
http://pilchuck.reedmedia.net/jeremy/
Greg Lehey(Author of 'The Complete BSD'. Former member of core@,
well known on this list)
http://www.lemis.com/~grog/
(from memory, heh. Seriously, fascinating collection of material ---
the web would be a much worse place if disaster struck and
Greg had no backups).
Marshall Kirk McKusick (co-author of 'The Design and Implementation
of the FreeBSD Operating System')
http://www.mckusick.com/
The other site you mention, bsdcertification.com is run by
Jared Barneck, according to whois. His home page is
at http://www.rhyous.com/. In 4+ years in FreeBSD, I've
not heard of Jared; that is not to say he should be disqualified
from consideration---it's possible that he runs a fine program.
However, I *have* had dealings with all of the others
above except Mr. Peters, and have found them knowledgeable,
friendly, and deeply concerned about the quality and growth
of FreeBSD.
HTH,
Kevin Kinsey

indeed. The BSDCert mailing list is quite active - take a look at the archives
for an idea of where the team is at (lots of surveys, documentation, etc being
put together.) - lot of brain power put to use on the subject of what makes a
good BSD admin / user and how to proper validate it, so the cert is actually
indicative of the knowledge/experience.

Generally, promiscuous mode is pretty much what you have guessed ... used in network analysis. Software such as bpf(4), and higher level apps such as netgraph, tcpdump, ethereal, etc. use promiscuous mode to grab network traffic. So, the first thing you ask yourself is, have I (or anyone allowed to be root) used any of this type of software? There might be other explanations, but I'm not suitably prepared to address them.

question on ftp - drag and drop
I am interested in setting up my ftp server so that users can login to their directories and drag files from one sub-directory into another. I am now using ProFTPd. Users are permitted to login to their directories using the ftp built into IE, and drag files onto their desktop and back again. They can create files and erase files on the ftp server. I have not figured out how, or if it is possible to cut and paste files from one sub-directory to another. Using IE remotely through ftp you can cut a file, but once in another directory the paste is not available. Where I am going with this is that sales people want to save and access each other's word and excel files on the server from a laptop, over the net. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
