We have two FreeBSD servers as public gateways running Sendmail + Milter-Ahead + MailScanner. These 'gateways' scan mail for viruses and then forward the delivery on to three toasters which are FreeBSD servers running qmail + vpopmail + Spamd + SquirrelMail. The toasters each mount an NFS share from a Sun Enterprise to store the mail. Vpopmail answers the validation reqests from Milter-Ahead and gets all it's storage/authentication information such as Maildir delivery, forwarding, SpamAssassin settings, etc from a common MySQL DB. All very stock and the system can grow as large as the mail store server allows. When it is incapable, we will replace it with a larger machine. Just because I know you will ask, the mail store server is raid5, dual power supply, dual nic. The gateways, toasters, and mail store all communicate via a private network which is 1gb.

Hi. I want to transparently scan incoming mail (POP3, IMAP) for viruses and spam on FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE. This software needs to sit in stream between the client and the server, and should be able to use ClamAV and Spamassassin (or has its own filtering capabilities, or other type of filtering input).

Best Practices - interrupt storm
Hi, FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE, cups-1.1.23.0_1, HP 1100 LaserJet I've found quite a bit of information about how to deal with: Interrupt storm detected in irq7:; throttling interrupt source Problem is, it's a little confusing. From what I've gathered, the options are: Use the BIOS to set the printer port to ECP, Use lptcontrol to set the port to polled mode, Use device.hints to do both IIRC, in the past, I have used lptcontrol to set polled mode, but that resulted in: too many stray irq7's, not logging any more Can anyone suggest a method to make both interrupt storm and too many stray irq7's go away? -- Thanks, Charles http://bubbabbq.homeunix.net ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm trying to configure NIS for the internal network, but ypinit is grabbing the FQDN. I've read the Handbook and ypinit manual page without too much enlightment. :( What I'm after is 192.168.0.10 NIS master server 192.168.0.11 NIS slave server 192.168.0.[12-15] NIS clients Anyone have a pointer to a method to achieve my goals. I would _strongly_ suggest that you run you firewall from another machine instead of using you NIS master for this. This really is Security 101 :) Check out OpenBSD with pf for this purpose or use a Cisco PIX (you can find several on eBay). But if you don't want/can do this, why don't you setup a jail for you NIS master? You can bind the jail to the RFC 1918 IP address range. Therefore, starting up ypbind inside the jail would only see the 192.168.0/24 network and bind to it. See jail(8), jls(8) and jexec(8). You might also want to check mount_nullfs(8) to help you with the jail's ports tree. If you need help with the jail setup, feel free to email me off the list.

RE: Best Practices - interrupt storm
Stray irq 7 messages The FBSD FAQ entry says 5.24. What does ``stray IRQ'' mean? Stray IRQs are indications of hardware IRQ glitches, mostly from hardware that removes its interrupt request in the middle of the interrupt request acknowledge cycle. One has three options for dealing with this: 1. Live with the warnings. All except the first 5 per IRQ are suppressed anyway. 2. Break the warnings by changing 5 to 0 in isa_strayintr() so that all the warnings are suppressed. 3. Break the warnings by installing parallel port hardware that uses IRQ 7 and the PPP driver for it (this happens on most systems), and install an IDE drive or other hardware that uses IRQ 15 and a suitable driver for it. ** End of FAQ # 5.24 * The number 3 item above is false, the ATA IDE standard is the primary IDE channel master and slave devices use IRQ 14 and the secondary IDE channel master and slave devices use IRQ 15. IRQ 15 is also used by many NIC cards. A printer attached to the parallel port uses IRQ 7, and the annoying bogus stray IRQ 7 messages still gets issued. So you are left with two options, learn to deal with it, or hack the code to make it go away. To stop the annoying bogus stray IRQ 7 messages you can hack the source where these messages originate from and change the counter value 5 to 0 so the messages will no longer be issued. isa_strayintr lives in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/intr_machdep.c cd /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/ cp intr_machdep.c intr_machdep.c.org # make backup of original ee intr_machdep.c Find isa_strayintr to locate the start of the stray IRQ 7 logic change this if (intrcnt[1 + intr] = 5) To this if (intrcnt[1 + intr] = 0) Recompile your kernel source and those stray IRQ 7 messages are gone. Document this some place for yourself just in case you reinstall from CDROM. Remember that if you cvsup update your source to upgrade to next stable release, your 'stray IRQ 7 hack' will be stepped on and return back to the official FBSD version. You will have to reapply this hack. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Charles Howse Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2006 10:14 AM To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Best Practices - interrupt storm Hi, FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE, cups-1.1.23.0_1, HP 1100 LaserJet I've found quite a bit of information about how to deal with: Interrupt storm detected in irq7:; throttling interrupt source Problem is, it's a little confusing.

Thing is, I didn't make a single hardware change during the reboot and didn't upgrade any ports on the machine. My emergency fix was to edit postgresql.conf to change shared_buffers from 8192 to 2048. Unfortunately, that seems to be hurting performance - I'm getting annoying deadlocks at 4AM whenever multiple daemons start their overnight batch runs. Has anyone else seen this behavior when upgrading from 6.0 to 6.1? Any ideas for a fix? I apologize for not having a logfiles, but I was pretty much in a panic to get it back up and running ASAP and didn't think about it until it was too late. -- Kirk Strauser ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Maple 8 on FreeBSD with Diablo
Le 22/05/2006 à 18:14:08-0300, Henry Lenzi a écrit The best way to use Maple (I don't have maple 8, my versions 9, 9.5 and 10) is to run maple without java by typing : xmaple -cw (cw mean : classic worksheet) Hi -- Thanks for trying to help. My question refereed to the fact that, at least on my official CD, there is no such FLEXim script for Unix such as the documentation (Handbook) refers to. The information apparently is outdated, or I got sold a different CD (I said I specifically would run it in Linux at the time). I know it's possible to install it. Maybe Maple 8 is a lost cause. However, the NetBSD people claimed to have it installed under binary emulation. Their documentatio too is unsatisfactory in this respect. Would you care to share your experience in installing Maple ? It would be greatly appreciated. Right now, I would prefer not to have to buy another license, because they're expensive, and just stick to Maple 8 for a bit more, but since Maplesoft's support for FreeBSD is non-existent (and even for Linux it kind of sucks)... I don't have the best install method : Personnaly (maybe it's stupid method but it's work) : 1/ I've get a Linux box (with a officila support by MapleSoft, like Fedora or something like that). 2/ I install the Maple on this Linux Box on something like /usr/local/maple-8 You can install or not install flexlm depend what's kind of licensce you have. 3/ If you must install flexlm install it 4/ Make tar cvf maple.tar /usr/local/maple-8 copy this tar file on your freebsd box untar it in /usr/local (or where you want) Modify the file /usr/local/maple-8/bin/maple.system.type [root]$ diff maple.system.type maple.system.type.orig 75c75 MAPLE_BIN=bin.IBM_INTEL_LINUX --- MAPLE_BIN=FAIL [root]$ Do exactly same thing for flexlm if you need.

standalone libraries for SFTP and SMB
Hello, I'm writing a small application that saves files over a network. I'd like to add support for SFTP and SMB. Does anyone know of an independent library for each? I'd like to use libsmbclient from the Samba project, but I haven't found a simple way to build the library without installing all of Samba. OpenSSH includes an SFTP binary, of course, but I'd have to rewrite several complex makefiles to generate it without installing all of OpenSSH. Thought about using the libraries from Gnome-VFS, but they have quite a few dependencies, and are sort of overkill for this project. So yes, I have a couple of options, and yes I'm a little bit lazy.

Trouble with nss|pam|openldap
I'm using openssh-portable and the latest versions of openldap, pam_ldap and nss_ldap. It appears as though the system is using ldap, but I can't seem to ssh in as an LDAP user. I get a permission denied. ssh debugs don't show anything useful and openldap debugs don't seem to show any activity when I enter the password, but it does show activity when I initially perform the ssh connection. That seems strange to me because I don't see a query in the debugs for the user password, even after I enter it in. I tried putting the pam_ldap lib in the password section of the /etc/pam.d/sshd file, but that was useless too. Local users can ssh in fine. I searched through the bugs and it seems there is a bug in nss_ldap with regards to getpwuid, but that seems to be more if an indicator about why finger doesn't work, not why ssh does't work (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/91806) Anyone see anything that strikes them as why this may not work? $ pkg_info nss_ldap-1.249 RFC 2307 NSS module openldap-client-2.3.23 Open source LDAP client implementation openldap-server-2.3.23 Open source LDAP server implementation pam_ldap-1.8.0 A pam module for authenticating with LDAP php5-ldap-5.1.4 The ldap shared extension for php phpldapadmin-1.0.1,1 A set of PHP-scripts to administer LDAP over the web openssh-portable-4.3.p2_1,1 The portable version of OpenBSD's OpenSSH $ uname -srm FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE amd64 # /usr/local/etc/nss_ldap|ldap.conf: base dc=example,dc=com uri ldap://127.0.0.1/ binddn cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com bindpw sillypassword bind_timelimit 10 bind_policy soft nss_connect_policy oneshot pam_filter objectclass=posixaccount pam_login_attribute uid pam_password ssha nss_base_passwd ou=people,dc=example,dc=com?one nss_base_shadow ou=people,dc=example,dc=com?one nss_base_group ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com?one # id testuser seems to work, finger doesn't.

I didnt understand how Maildir helps to this actually. I am not sure anyone was talking about distributing 1 person's mail across separate machines. The discussion seemed to be how to handle large amounts of mail spread out across machines, which maildir helps with as you can have one or more file servers and lots of consumers (imap/pop) and deliverers (mta) accessing those maildirs on your file servers. Combine with a backend database of some sort (we use an ldap db that includes the path for a specific accounts mail) and voilá. Chad Ah sorry, I didnt think it that way for a moment. I thought you meant Maildir stores mails in seperate files compred to mbox format used by sendmail so...anyhow my mistake :) But it is possible to make changes to sendmail so that it will store to different folders also. Maildir does store mail in serperate files. Each email is a file. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir I think the conclusion is a database, multiple smtp servers querying database to see where to forward received e-mails, multiple pop3/imap servers querying database to see from where to read the e-mails and multiple storage machines. This way it can scale to an unlimited size. So it requires a lot of coding :) Nah, once you get everything installed and configured it is easy. Dovecot and qmail are both easy to set up.

Re: Implementing IMAP advice for first timer
Well I want to get IMAP running on my FreeBSD box and would like to have a safe, non service-interrupting strategy to implementing it. What do you mean non service-interrupting strategy? If you have already POP3 installed and running, there is good chance that installing IMAP will install another POP3 and at some stage it may create sirvice disturbances. 1) Can somebody please recommend a good FAQ about how-to get IMAP running my FreeBSD machine? Install from /usr/ports/mail/cyrus-imapd23 for example 2)Are there things I should be aware of before I start the process? None that I can think off. 3) I dont completely understand how IMAP works is there a good tutorial about this subject? IMAP is a protocols that allows you to READ your email. Your IMAP client will connect to your IMAP server and retreive emails from your mailbox. IMAP also allows you to retreive mails from mail folders. 4) I dont completely understand how local mail delivery will change is there a good tutorial about this subject? IMAP does not interract with mail delivery. Once mail is delivered into your mailbox, IMAP allows you to read it.

IMAP does not interract with mail delivery. Once mail is delivered into your mailbox, IMAP allows you to read it. This is not exactly true. If you switch to Cyrus from something else, you will have to make sure that your mail is delivered to Cyrus instead if however it was being done before (local mbox or maildir for example). I have not run Cyrus in many years but they had their own delivery agent that your local mail agent (mda/mta like sendmail, exim, etc) would hand off to.

FreeBSD Installation

Its gives us the ISO's for three CD's bootonly,disc1,disc2.But when we try to install starting with the bootonly disc it misses out on a few screens and also gives messages regarding unavailability of a few packages etc. Also it does not ask for the insertion of the other CDs at any point of the installation.

I have some questions about how to get things working. I like courier-imap. The set-up is easy and it has been 100% reliable for me on a bunch of different servers. It has never lost a message or dropped a core file. It uses maildir format out of the box, which I view as a significant advantage. Installing it from ports (/usr/ports/mail/courier-imap) is pretty straightforward, and most settings can be left at the default, at least until you get comfortable with it. There is lots'o'doc at at http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/courierimap.html should you need it. I first set it up years ago, it's in use all day every day, and the only thing I've ever had to do it to it is portupgrade. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
