Can one user have more than one system mailboxes?
Can a user have more than one system mailbox? E. g., some ISP provides the next service: a client can make any number of mailboxes for himself using web interface. Almost all ISP are using UNIX. So, how they do this? Does that web interface create a new system user every time I create a new mailbox? I have sendmail 8.13.6 on FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE.

I am looking for a solution with very reasonable cost and best efficiency :o) How much traffic will you serve? This is also limited by the bandwidth you have - if you have an adsl connection usually downstream is higher than up stream, but serving pages go mostly upstream. How much work will the server do to generate pages? If everything is dynamic and you have a badly coded site it costs. You can get much efficiency with good code and/or apache proxy, or a squid proxy. I bought a mini-itx with 1Ghz Via chip and 256MB ram, 60GB IDE disk. Should I buy a new system today I would go for a fanless slower version. It serves just fine, not only web pages but also mail, database, ldap, dns, dhcp, imap as well as being firewall/router for the local network. It seems that most resources are consumed by the smtp server blocking spam. It's also reasonable cheap, around 400 euros, and consumes only around 30W.

That MB is only suitable for desktop use, as it has the slowest ethernet controller known to man on a 32/33Mhz bus. Running this MB as a server is like putting cheap, skinny tires on your porsche. DT Personaly, I appreciate your dedication to maximum performance but please notice this thread is in reference to swapping a MB for another MB and coments like yours are not appreciated. Would you prefer if I had stated? I have the same board in a crappy server running 4.11 (FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE #0) and no problems to report. Please notice I never said what the box was doing nor did I ask for your opinion of what MB/NIC I use in my systems. This SERVER is pur- pose built and runs stable 24/7 as a low volume outbound mail server so the performance of the NIC is not my primary concern. Please keep your useless comments to yourself as they do nothing but waste disk space, CPU time and the valuable time of people who attempt to help others on this list. Scott So if someone is planning on using a crappy motherboard as a server its not appropriate to mention that the replacement is not suitable for the task? So since you're replacing the MB, why not take the opportunity to use something suitable. Because it means introducing a whole slew of new, unknown variables. :) When I first installed 4.10R, it did not even support the 8237; and disk performance on that board was limited to a terribly slow Multi-World DMA 2 mode (I think it was that; very slow, at least). So, imagine my delight when 4.11-STABLE supported the 8237 at last. Buying a newer type motherboard for 4.11-STABLE (where would you find one for socket 754, so soon replaced by socket 939, anyway?) would likely mean an unsupported south-bridge chip, and being back to square one. Nope. I'm gonna stick with what works for 4.11-STABLE (as that is still my preferred FreeBSD version; and if I cannot find a new motherboard after the new one dies, I will just continue to run the whole thing in a Vmware box). As for the LAN, since I only have a 100 Mb network, I see no reason to assume even a less than ideal performing gigabit LAN would slow things down (unless its performance dropped below 10%; and I'm sure it's not that bad). In fact, not to be unnecessarily contrary, but I would ere say this motherboard is totally unsuited for desktop use (I have a shiny P5WD2 Premium for that), and that this board is rather ideally suited for a FreeBSD 4.11 system. Well that's just stupid, but you're entitled to waste your money in any way you choose. We run FreeBSD 4.9 and I've never had a problem with hardware. Of course I know how to choose hardware and you don't :) I never said desktop. The MB isn't really suitable for anything that uses a LAN extensively. Knowing ASUS (whose MBs I'd never use, btw), I'd guess that the ethernet controller on the P4WD2 is connected to a 1x PCIe which would be a joke. What you don't get: - The slower the bus, the more CPU cycles it takes to do an I/O. Typically you are doing 1000s and 1000s of I/Os per second. Thats 100s of 1000s of cpu cycles wasted per second. - inefficient controller = more CPU cyles per access. Maybe MANY more. This translates to degradation of your CPU. The more traffic, the more degradation. Whether you're on a gig network or a 100Mb/s network, the efficiency of the controller will still eat up your cpu. Of course if you're just doing IM or email, then you don't get enough iterations per second to make a difference. But on a server,or gaming machine or anything on a broadband connection, you're just killing your cpu using a crappy controller. You'd be better off putting up an old 845 chipset MB with an fxp controller running a 2.6Ghz celeron than what you're running, for a lot less money. DT __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Would DEVICE_POLLING and/or jumbo frames likely methods for enhanced speeds? Firstly we've been discussing how bad and inefficient the broadcom controllers are. If you have a tyan MB with onboard controllers they are incredibly slow (ie inefficient), as well as being quirky. If you have a PCI-X slot put in an intel card. They have built-in interrupt moderation so you don't have dick around with polling. A 133Mhz intel controller (make sure they have the GB chips on them and not the EB) will use half the cpu of the on-board broadcoms. If you don't believe try it with one box and measure the cpu usage before and after. Its worth the $50. investment in the card, believe me. While polling may marginally decrease the cpu load (depending on how bad FreeBSD 6.1 is on interrupt overhead), its also going to add latency to the processing of packets, which is the opposite of what you want to do.

The cluster will be using MPI to possibly shove large data sets through a GigE switch, so I'm trying to determine how best to optimize the transfer. Would DEVICE_POLLING and/or jumbo frames likely methods for enhanced speeds? Firstly we've been discussing how bad and inefficient the broadcom controllers are. If you have a tyan MB with onboard controllers they are incredibly slow (ie inefficient), as well as being quirky. If you have a PCI-X slot put in an intel card. They have built-in interrupt moderation so you don't have dick around with polling. A 133Mhz intel controller (make sure they have the GB chips on them and not the EB) will use half the cpu of the on-board broadcoms. If you don't believe try it with one box and measure the cpu usage before and after. Its worth the $50. investment in the card, believe me. I'll look into the Intel cards, but unfortunately I'm probably stuck with the onboard broadcom devices for the immediate future. There is one expansion slot (whether its PCI-X, I don't know). I was actually planning to use the slot for infiniband, myrinet, or the 10 GiGE cards that Drew Gallatin has mentioned. While polling may marginally decrease the cpu load (depending on how bad FreeBSD 6.1 is on interrupt overhead), its also going to add latency to the processing of packets, which is the opposite of what you want to do. This is the conclusion that I reached in reading i386/conf/NOTES.

how to avoid recompiling applications?
i have a system that i tend to tear up quite often. sometimes accidently, sometimes not. recompiling kde is quite a long process (and when i try to do it from packages, something is always messed up). so, i was under the impression that if you *did not* make install clean (thus, only using 'make clean') and save your work directories, then when it came time to reinstall something, you would not have to go thru the compile process, and skip straight to the installation? example is, last night i compiled xorg from ports, but then tried to (against my better judgement) pull down kde from packages. utter catastrophe, after removing the non-working kde-package, kde3 port would not even compile after that. anyway, long story short, i backed up my /usr/ports, /usr/src, /usr/obj, and reinstalled. using my restored backup files, reapplying my old kernel and installworld went just without issue, i skipped the buildworld and buildkernel just fine, no hitches. but when i went to reinstall the xorg from last night (all the work directories were still there), 'make install' returned no output, and nothing happened. what gives? i ended up having to do a make clean on my ports dir before i could continue. in the future for me, is there a way to proeperly retain all the precompiled stuff, and just skip right to the installation portion of my previously compiled ports? thanks, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Can one user have more than one system mailboxes?
Can a user have more than one system mailbox? E. g., some ISP provides the next service: a client can make any number of mailboxes for himself using web interface. Almost all ISP are using UNIX. So, how they do this? Does that web interface create a new system user every time I create a new mailbox? I have sendmail 8.13.6 on FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE. Sorry, I missed OP. 1st: I doubt ISP's relies on unix accounts for mail. Rather they likely have clients in an ldap directory and mail on some database backend storage. 2nd: You can create an extra mailbox by adding a line to /etc/mail/aliases: mailbox_name:/path/to/mailbox_name then run newaliases. To let a user access the mailbox you need to set filepermissions accordingly.

Apache22 + PHP5 installation issues
Hi all, I am having problems with setting up a web server. I'm running FreeBSD 6.1-Release-P1, updated of yesterday. I have installed Apache22, php5 and php5-extensions from the ports. (I did check the build Apache module option in the php5 config). My first problem is that the handbook still refers the to mod_php which is not available. A search of the archives gave me the answer that it has been removed. My httpd.conf has: LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache22/libphp5.so To which I have added: AddType application/x- httpd-php .php AddType application/x- httpd-php-source .phps As per the pkg-message. The problem is that although I can connect to apache, php does not appear to run, all I get in a browser is unknown file type and a suggestion to download the file. I have also tried adding index.php to the DirectoryIndex I have to follow the handbook and tried this: IfModule php5_module DirectoryIndex index.php index.html /IfModule IfModule php5_module AddType application/x- httpd-php .php AddType application/x- httpd-php-source .phps /IfModule ie with php5_module rather than mod_php, but that also fails to work There is nothing in the apache-error.log nor messages that help.

First, your speed is likely 1Mbit and not 1Mbyte (1Mb) You can make some rough estimates once you have your site running and know how much an average page is. But, (almost) any system that you can get hands on today will be able to serve your site. Generally: If people have to wait more than 10 sec for a page to load, it's too slow.

You need to build Apache WITH_PROXY_MODULE=yes then configure, see the apache documentation, it is fairly thorough. Squid is also in ports.

In reality, current versions of FreeBSD work better on current versions of hardware. FreeBSD has a terrible history of breaking things that used to work on old hardware, then when someone complains that something is broken, the developers in effect tell them their old hardware is crappy junk and to buy new hardware. Try running FreeBSD 6.X on a 80486 or Pentium system. FreeBSD 6.x works just fine on a Pentium system, as long as you have enough memory. Most Pentium 60's and Pentium 133's shipped from the factory with no more than 32MB of ram. That's only enough to load FreeBSD itself, not any applications. I'm not talking your souped up Pentium 200 with 128MB of ram in it. But, even those will roll over and die if you try to bring up a desktop like gnome or KDE on them. Way way too slow.

Very well, let me put it another way: if your opinions about what's wrong differ from most other people, you might do better to rely on a discussion involving facts rather than opinions. Or, it could simply be that he's not doing what most people are doing, so he is going to run into trouble that most people don't run into. I mention this because some people regard their own opinions so highly that they don't seem to be aware that other approaches exist and might even prove effective. Like you? Clearly there are drivers that are well supported and drivers that aren't. There are people out there trying to run their businesses and you seem to want to pretend that everything is just peachy and that everything can be tweaked and tuned a bit to be usable. I don't know about either the OP or your situation(s), Then, pray tell, don't comment. Instead thank your lucky stars that you have not had to deal with that kind of problem. but I'm generally of the opinion that FreeBSD works just fine, most of the time, on most hardware, without any specific tweaking or tuning to be entirely usable. It does not. In reality, current versions of FreeBSD work better on current versions of hardware. FreeBSD has a terrible history of breaking things that used to work on old hardware, then when someone complains that something is broken, the developers in effect tell them their old hardware is crappy junk and to buy new hardware. Try running FreeBSD 6.X on a 80486 or Pentium system. FreeBSD 4.11 runs just fine on that hardware, if a bit slowly. But, I don't need speed to control my garden sprinklers. Now, it is true that sometimes backwards compatibility can hurt you, it can cause you to maintain interfaces and structures that conflict with support of new hardware, it can sometimes put you into situations that cannot be automatically resolved, thus you have to create a knob for the user to twaddle one way or another, depending on what hardware they have or what they want to do. It can suck off developer time to maintain old junk that only a few people use, instead of putting in support for new crap that a lot of people use. So there is a balance beam of too much backwards compatability and not enough of it. Microsoft is most definitely way far on the side of bending over backwards to support everything, but most people don't realize that FreeBSD is way far on the other side of sacrificing hardware support at the drop of a hat when people lose interest in it. That's true of some other platforms, such as Apple hardware and MacOS X, or even Sun/SPARC boxes, as well. YMMV. Total apples and oranges comparison, not relevant to anything. If you have specific problems or a FreeBSD-driver to Windows-driver performance comparison, providing #'s and enough details to reproduce would be helpful. That has been done with the Broadcom driver exhaustively in the PR database, there's at least a dozen PRs on problems related to that chip. However it has not resulted in much code to fix the problem, or even interest among committers to apply the fixes that have been posted. So no, I don't think that doing that is helpful at all. In fact, I really think the PR system has gotten pretty much broken these days, there's too many bugs and not enough people working on them, and more coming in every day. What is needed is some developers putting some time into knocking down the bugs in the PR database, but instead we have the foundation dumping money into funding students on projects like The Summer of Code which basically ends up creating a lot of half-finished efforts that may or may not eventually get integrated into the operating system at some point down the road. Nobody wants to fix other people's bugs, that's boring stuff, that is the one area of Open Source where commercial software companies have a leg up over us. A commercial company can find some starving programmer and pay him, then put a manager over him to keep jerking the paycheck string to keep him on task to do the icky programming. Open Source has real difficulty with the concept that some things in it are broken, rather ickely broken, and totally un-fun to work on, and the only way your going to get them fixed is by whipping some

RE: Recommendation for 1000BASE-SX card?
Its easy enough for commercial companies to fix the bugs if they need to use the broadcom drivers. There's just little incentive to donate the code back with this bunch of rude, incompetent clowns that have become the FreeBSD micky mouse club. I don't think it's that being the problem. I think the problem is that the engineers at places like HP and ASUS and such, know perfectly well the Broadcom and the Realtek and the other cheapo-crappy ethernet chipsets are garbage. But, I think they figure that they are not going to throw expensive programming time on solving the problems of those chips in software. I think they spend the expensive programming time on their high-end gear, which has the Intel chipset and the other good stuff, high end parts in it. There was a time when name brand companies like Dell, HP Gateway, Micron, etc. etc. made 2 lines of computers. Cheapo crappy desktop gear, and expensive high quality server gear. What I think ruined it is too many people pressing cheapo crappy desktop gear into use as servers, it was cutting into the high-end server market in a big way. So, the Dell's and the HP's of the world realized they needed to create server lines (and the motherboard manufacturers realized this too with motherboard lines) that were marketed as servers, but were a lot cheaper than their high end servers. This would allow them to package the exact same crappy desktop parts in a box marked as a server and costing twice as much, yet not as much as the really good quality server gear. And so that is what is going on these days. __ Ok, well we've blown the yahoo buffer so I have to crop. I'm not sure that its those corporate monsters making a conscious effort to rip people off. The market is uneducated. Managers at those companies don't know anything, and the engineers that design MBs are asian robots that just do schematics and make the chips work. People selecting products today are not engineers and have no idea now to test hardware; heck even Matt Dillon admits that he doesn't understand how the PCI bus works, and he's trying to design an operating system. Doesn't care either. Its all about the CPU. Which is silly, since putting a big, honking CPU on a box with a bad chipset or a cheap NIC devalues the CPU to the point that you might as well just get something cheap. Virtually no-one has any clue about the performance of their box. People are willing to spend any amount on their MB and CPU, and they they'll go out and buy a realtek ethernet card, or a 32-bit gig card to save a few $$$. Its mindless. Its so mindless I can't believe it. And even if you explain it to them, they still don't understand. Its like a bunch of women buying clothes. Costs more, must be better. Its just crazy.

Be careful using on-board controllers. Usually vendors, for some reason, don't wire them to the pci-x bus. Most supermicro boards wire the em controllers to the 32bit/33mhz bus and the tyan and supermicro opteron boards we've tested wire the broadcoms to a shared 1x PCI-E, both of which will not only give you poor performance, but are not capable of running full gigabit rates. DT The Intel card would be an INTEL Pro1000MF, right? This would be quite expensive (~ EUR 430), but good performance and stability would warrant that. ATM, we are using the onboard controller (Broadcom BCM5704C wired to the pci-x bus). I did not have opportunity to do performance measurements, but we do have problems with our Linkpro 1000SX/1000TX converters, the 3rd of which has already died. That's why i want to give a PCI-X card with fiber interface a try. No, that would be the 1000MT, the MF is a fiber card I believe. They are about US$120. in the US. How do you know its wired to the PCI-X bus, since I don't believe that the controller has a way of reporting the way that the intel controller does? What MB do you have? Also keep in mind that the bge driver is a piece of crap; driver quality is a much more telling factor in these free OS's than the card in many cases. The EM and FXP are the only drivers worth anything (mainly because neither were written by mass-driver mill man Bill Paul). After having fixed bugs in the bge driver I must stress how wrong this statement is for the bge driver. Bill Paul may or may not have been associated with the bge driver, whether he was or not is immaterial since the bge driver is basically a port of the broadcom-supplied Linux driver, the code is Broadcoms mostly, with hunks of Broadcom code removed (like that dealing with the PHY's) when it was too difficult to port. (apparently) The quality of the Broadcom driver isn't Bill Paul's, it's Broadcoms. No, I can assure you that the reason the Broadcom chips work like crap under FreeBSD is not due to Bill Paul, it is because the Broadcom hardware iteself is pure, unadulterated, stinking, bull crap. It is crappy even under the supported operating systems like Windows, it's craptitude reaches new heights on the crap pile. Broadcom missed their calling as an ethernet chipset designer, they should have gone into making vacuum cleaners, as they would certainly be the suckiest ones in that business. Ted I'll disagree with you on the authoring issue (without commenting on the crappiness of the controller), because it is ultimately the responsibility of the programmer to work around the quirks and even the bugs in any given controller, and the simple fact is that BP does a half-assed job; certainly not the kind of job someone whose sole responsibility was to maintain a particular driver. All complex controllers are a b*tch to write drivers for, and the ability to seemlessly integrate working code into the OS to mask the quirks is what separates the men from the boys. Saying the driver stinks because the example code stinks is a cop-out. But I didn't say that. I said the driver stinks because the HARDWARE stinks. When I can take a Windows box with a Broadcom chip in it, that is exhibiting timeouts and slowness, unplug it from one brand of 10BaseT hub, and plug it into another brand of 10BaseT hub, and then plug my laptop into the first hub port that the Windows box was in, and have absolutely no problems, and have the Broadcom Windows box work perfectly in the second brand of hub, that is crappy hardware. It is not drivers, and no amount of twaddling with code in the driver will fix it. All sample code stinks. The sample code should be just that; an example of how to program the controller. Absolutely no, not at all. It is very easy to write a sample driver source that is full of unexplained magic numbers, in fact the Broadcom driver that I tweaked was broken precisely because one of the prior FreeBSD programmers who

RE: Recommendation for 1000BASE-SX card?
The starving programmer was an exaggeration used to illustrate a point, I was not seriously suggesting to go out and hire a bad programmer. But, when you buy cheap crappy hardware it is cheap because the manufacturer has hired less talented programmers among other things, and you can only expect something that works not that works well -- I think its often difficult to distinguish between what is crappy, because good code can make bad hardware look good and vice versa. All ethernet controllers were designed by idiots. My first success story (now I don't want to let on to who I really am so I'll be vague), was an ISA card by a major vendor that locked up regularly, and it had a hideous reputation as being a bad card. It was the only card of its kind, and I needed it badly. They gave me schematics and said that they had tried and tried but couldn't find anything wrong with the card. They had contracted out to some brainfarm to write a driver, and the thing was this beautiful self-contained scheduler (this is like MSDOS 3 mind you) with documented source, the whole deal. Well I tore it apart, simplified the code, got rid of all the soft interrupt passes and cleaned up all the memory management code. Now the card worked like a charm, didn't lock up, ran better than their spec and Mega-Billon$- company couldn't believe that some 23yo kid wrote a driver that a company they paid 100K to couldn't get to work. My point is that until someone writes a really good driver you never know if hardware is any good or not. Now some hardware is hopeless. I'm not sure that the broadcom controllers are that hopeless. But since the intel cards work well and are cheap, who's going to spend the time to pour over the broadcom driver and make it better? There's a ton of I/Os in there that can be streamlined.

shmget: No space on device (sshit)
I'm trying to use sshit.pl from /usr/ports/secrurity/sshit, and I'm having some trouble with it that I think may be a bug, or a mis- configuration on my part. sshit is a Perl program that receives syslog messages (configured in syslog.conf) of the form '/failed .*from (\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+) /i' to try to detect SSH brute-force attempts, and after X from the same IP address in Y minutes, it adds them to an IPFW2 table, which has a deny from rule that runs on it. sshit seems to be not working (i.e. it's never adding IP addresses to the ipfw2 table I specified) and dumping many of the following messages to /var/log/messages: May 31 10:03:03 melchoir syslogd: Logging subprocess 20716 (exec /usr/ local/sbin/sshit) exited with status 28. This appears to be because of the following: ~# echo 'May 29 12:20:32 melchoir sshd[5707]: Failed password for illegal user user1 from 61.82.52.1 port 43282 ssh2' | sshit; echo Error: $?

[HOWTO] IPFW: Vector-Based Modularity
IPFW: Vector-Based Modularity
by Dennis Olvany
I. Vectors
II. Modules
III. Examples
a. Simple Firewall
b. Complex Firewall
IV. NAT
V. Tips
a. Storing Rules
b. Ruleset
VI. Resources
A strategy for easy administration, greater efficiency and heightened
security.
I. Vectors
A vector consists of a physical or virtual interface and a direction,
ingress or egress. For this purpose the local host should be considered
an interface of its own in the form of the IPFW alias, me. For example,
consider a machine with the following interfaces. These two interfaces
plus the local host would constitute a total of six vectors. The
loopback interface should be considered part of me.
fxp0-in
`out
ste0-in
`out
me-in
`out
II. Modules
Each vector may be associated with a rule module or may be allowed to
match the default rule. The IPFW ruleset begins with a series of skipto
rules directing matching traffic to a rule module. The default rule is
then placed before the rule modules, greatly reducing the iterations
required to reach it. IPFW sets offer a method for working with groups
of rules and make modules easier to discern.
III. Examples
a. Simple Firewall
The default rule, 400, may be reached in as little as four iterations.
This ruleset may be easily altered to offer services. Use dynamic rules
only where absolutely needed. Also, the use of setup should be avoided.
This may cause broken connections in the event that a dynamic rule times
out. Setup may serve to block perfectly legitimate ingress and egress
traffic.
00100 set 0 check-state
00200 set 1 skipto 1 ip from me to any out
00300 set 2 skipto 15000 ip from any to me in
00400 set 0 deny ip from any to any
1 set 1 count ip from any to any
10100 set 1 allow ip from any to any keep-state
15000 set 2 count ip from any to any
15100 set 2 deny ip from me to any
15200 set 2 allow icmp from any to any
15300 set 2 deny ip from any to any
65535 set 31 deny ip from any to any
b. Complex Firewall
This router has a total of 18 vectors, of which eight are restricted.
The remaining ten match the default rule, 1000. This firewall contains
49 rules, but the default rule may be reached in as little as ten
iterations. The longest possible iteration through this ruleset is a
mere 18 rules.
Tuning this firewall is quite simple. Rules 200-300 and 400-900 may be
shuffled so the most-matched rules come first. Be mindful that the me
vectors must always come first. Groups of allow rules within the modules
may also be shuffled for increased performance.
00100 set 0 check-state
00200 set 2 skipto 15000 ip from any to me in
00300 set 1 skipto 1 ip from me to any out

Re: sudoedit, restricting to particular folder
Well, the problem with that would be that we are editing about 4000 zone files(that includes forwards and reverses) so an entry for each zone wouldnt do, that it why i was hoping to make it effective on a whole folder, not just one file or two. I was considering a folder permissions solution, that seems like it would work well i think, then i could use sudo to resrict to only rndc and let them have group write access on the zones folder, i think that would be better then sudoedit.

Restricting a group of users to run only rndc reload and rndc reconfig via sudo is trivial. sudoers(1) will explain how, and the sudoers file that comes with sudo is chock full of examples. Off the top of my head, you would do something like this: User_Alias DNSOPS= user1, user2, user3 Cmnd_Alias DNSRELOAD = /usr/sbin/rndc reload Cmnd_Alias DNSRECONF = /usr/sbin/rndc reconfig DNSOPS ALL = DNSRELOAD, DNSRECONF Don't know if that parses properly, but you get the idea. As far as editing only zone files, if you know the names of the files that they need to edit, something like this is sufficient: DNSOPS ALL = sudoedit /etc/named.conf DNSOPS ALL = sudoedit /etc/rndc.conf DNSOPS ALL = sudoedit /var/named/zone1 DNSOPS ALL = sudoedit /var/named/zone2 However, if your users need to be able to create/modify/rename files under /var/named (as you mentioned in your OP), then you will need a properly written wrapper script.
