Re: Needing a guide/tutorial please
Looking for a guide online somewhere that will walk me through setting up a mail server with the following items on it. SpamAssassin Postfix (pop3 and smtp setup) MySQL (for database driven mail user administration) MyPHPAdmin (to visually admin the database) Squirrelmail (for webmail) Apache (for squirrelmail) Dovecot Imap (for squirrelmail) Postfix Admin - this is the reason for the need to have a mysql driven mail user database. It's apparently required for this to work. Plus database driven user management tends to be easier. Of course, if you know of a better way to graphically admin mail users without using a database, I'm all ears. :) And lastly, some kind of web based server admin page that's similar to webmin, but more secure. I want to setup a mail server with all these elements, have postfix, squirrelmail and dovecot be database driven and somehow create a mailbox tree for the webmail users for saved, spam, sent and trashcan folders. Also, lastly, which format for mail is better? Maildir or Mbox? I'm partial to Mbox, but I've heard some others say Maildir is better. The server is only going to host about 30-40 users for a realty company, so security is priority, plus it needs to have ease of administration because the guy who's going to admin this in the end (I'm just building it, he's maintaining it) isn't unix savy. I've already done a lot of google diving, but with little luck. Hence why I'm asking here. If someone knows of a good guide or series of guides that'll help me through all this, it'd be greatly appreciated. I'm used to doing this the hard way with sendmail and the regular freebsd users through the console. So I'm really new to postfix, but I'm using it because it's supposedly more secure. I'd have the guy who's admining it do the same, but he's too green in the console to risk it. ;) Many thanks in advance for any help you can provide. :) Steven Lake Owner/Technical Writer Raiden's Realm www.raiden.net A friendly web community Steve, Youve asked at lot of questions in one here. For 30 to 40 users what you are proposing is way over the top, I would stay away from mysql etc. I am using qmail + courier(pop3 imap) + calamav + squirrelmail etc base on the installation from http://www.qmailrocks.org/ with some tweeks from Bill Olson's site http://www.goodcleanemail.com/ for spamassassin rules and learning etc. Bill's site is useful as he uses FreeBsd. I also used the Chkuser patch (rejecting mails during smtp for non existing users) from John Simpson's site http://www.jms1.net/ + block lists. The setup uses web based qmailadmin for managing mail boxes. It has been running for nearly 2 years now and the only maintanence has been updating clamav and tweeking the spamassassin rules. BTW qmailrocks has an updated script for a freebsd installation using most of the latest sw from ports.

Re: new 6.1 install will not boot
Perry Hutchison wrote: The BIOS clears the screen and loads the boot sector, then nothing. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but I can say I've installed FreeBSD x.y on just about every flavor of Dell hardware without much trouble, so it should work for you. Disclaimer: the Dimension line is highly variable re: component types, chip versions and overall quality, so all bets are off there, even though all the pieces are generally mainstream hardware. It's an Optiplex GX1, with 192MB/10GB. Did you install using the default/suggested disk geometry and slice arrangement, or did you try to tune things as the installer went along? I didn't try to mess with the geometry, but I didn't give FreeBSD the whole disk -- I intend for it to coexist with Linux and a FAT32 OS. I also adjusted the subpartitioning (and this seems to be necessary -- see below). Try this: Reinstall, and if prompted about disk geometry problems just let the installer do what it wants to. When prompted to choose a disk location to install to, choose A for Use Entire Disk, and when prompted to slice up that disk area, choose A again for Auto Defaults. When prompted for a boot manager, choose to install the FreeBSD MBR. It worked better this time. I suspect the important difference was that I let it install the FreeBSD MBR (with considerable misgivings, given the onscreen caution about PC-DOS -- but the FreeBSD boot manager does seem to boot Windoze without problems). Unfortunately, it looks as if I'll have to do it *again* because the default /usr size was quite a bit too small -- even though sysinstall had over 3GB to start with. Using the default allocation of that 3GB, and selecting a Developer configuration (including ports), the install stopped with Couldn't create directory /usr/compat: No space left on device. df confirms that /usr is full (and the considerably larger /var is nearly empty): Filesystem 1K-blocksUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s3a507630 35212 431808 8%/ devfs 1 1 0 100%/dev /dev/ad0s3e507630 12 467008 0%/tmp /dev/ad0s3f832504 811572 -45668 106%/usr /dev/ad0s3d 1190350 248 1094874 0%/var In case it matters, uname -a reports: FreeBSD gx1 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May 7 04:32:43 UTC 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Evidently I need to make /, /tmp, and /var quite a bit smaller, so as to enlarge /usr. ... if you still have problems describe to the list the end result you're trying to achieve by your tuning. The first goal is to finish the install without running out of space :) I'd prefer to also arrange for FreeBSD to share the Linux swap space -- thus freeing up more space for /usr or /home by eliminating ad0s3b -- rather than leaving the Linux swap unused when FreeBSD is running. I've found some mentions of Linux swap partitions in the FreeBSD source code, so I suspect that this might be possible, but I didn't find any mention in the docs of how to do it. The drive currently has three primary partitions (Linux /boot, FAT32, FreeBSD) and an extended partition containing Linux swap and Linux root. Partition Commander (commercial) shows the disk layout as Ptn size - type - 1st sector # of sectors P1 7M Linux ext2 0x83 63 16002 P0 2.44G FAT32 0x08 16128 5124672 P2 3.34G Unix 0xA5 5140800 7020405 P3 3.73G Extended 0x0F12161205 7823655 L0392M Linux swap 0x8212161268 803187 L1 3.34G Linux ext2 0x8312964518 7020342 To answer one forseeable question before it is asked :) I have quite a bit of Un*x experience, but have not done much system setup or administration since SunOS 4.1. Well, it sounds like you're getting closer. You'll need a rubber mallet, a chisel, a shoehorn and plenty of WD-40 to get all you want out of 10GB total disk space, but it /could/ be made to work. It also sounds like you've got enough sense to work it out. Optiplex should be no problem at all. re: applying the FreeBSD MBR, I really suggested it only because that would make one less unknown. Now that you know FreeBSD can boot, you can use any loader you like. For your kind of setup I might go with GAG. Automated log rotation usually keeps /var bloat in check, so it doesn't really need to be very large, whereas /usr will tend to grow fast if you do a lot of /usr/local /usr/ports work. I don't know anything about sharing a Linux swap space. Personally, if this was just a learning/POC box and there was no other way but to cram all you want into 10 GB, I might be tempted to just give FreeBSD a swap partition (shared or otherwise) and / the rest of whatever space you have for it. That would be truly unholy for a production system and would mean you couldn't do certain file system
:::. P4 HTT and DUMP: Corrupted MAC on input.
Hi, I've got the following problem. A few servers, periodically dump(8) through ssh to a central server. That central server comes with a P4 HTT (single core - no frills) processor. A few weeks ago I decided to activate hyperthreading and add SMP capabilities to it. Just for the sake of it. Before those modifications, all servers were dumping without any problems for months, literally. However, now I get random disconnects. It may disconnect after 4%, 95% or not at all. But eventually, some dump processes get randomly disconnected. This is the sample error I get: [...] DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files] DUMP: 4.60% done, finished in 1:44 at Fri Aug 18 08:45:04 2006 Received disconnect from 192.168.0.1: 2: Corrupted MAC on input. DUMP: Broken pipe DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. [...] After several days of googling and pulling my hair out, for some reason I decided to get rid off HTT and SMP... and to my amusement, everything is back to normal.

managing gems, ports or gem update?
For those managing ruby gems on FreeBSD, are you using ports, or just using gems outside of ports? Currently, Rails has a security vulnerability, but the port hasn't been updated.

Routing intp private subnet
Hi there, I want to setup a gateway / firewall solution with current FreeBSD. The network has following structure: Several host (host[1,...,x].domain.net) are defined within the DNS and all of them have the same A-Record with the IP 1.2.3.4 The gateway is listening on its external network interface with the IP 1.2.3.4 and has an internal interface with a private subnet (192.168.0.0/24). The hosts (host[1,...,x].) are addressed in this subnet. How can it be solved, that the gateway opens a tunnel to the special host in the private subnet (let.s say 192.168.0.3) if there is a query for host3.domain.net? In my opinion this cannot be done because the client queries the DNS and simply opens the connection to the IP 1.2.3.4 and the gateway has now hints how to decide to which internal host the tunnel should be opened. But this setup is possible because Microsoft ISA Server exactly does this job? I have have no idea how to solve this. First idea was a kernel bridge between the interfaces. Do you have any hints for me? Thanks a lot!

Re: Laser Scanners: Do you know what Kyeboard Wedge is ?

I found this, that claims to work out of the box. Apparently, there is this interface called Keyboard Wedge. Keyboard Wedge is the simplest and best way to connect the scanner to a regular desk top computer. There is no software to install, just connect in the keyboard circuit and start scanning. Works with ALL applications and ALL Operating Systems running on industry standard architecture PCs- Windows, DOS, Linux, FreeBSD, Unix etc. The scanner plugs in as a keyboard, and the system sees scanned data as if it was typed by the user. No software to install. The scanner has a Y-cable so both it and the keyboard are attached at the same time. I've used the Intermec 1802 LED scanners with FreeBSD and other systems with excellent results. The Intermec 1802 is good for a couple of feet with large barcodes. The tradeoff with laser scanners for longer range is that they have moving parts (a wiggling mirror to move the laser back and forth) and are not as tough as LED scanners, and much more expensive. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation.

Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book.

I'm hesitant to switch to 64 bits, are there any gotchas for freeBSD? What are you doing that would make that seem slow? Are you sure it is the processor and not some other part that is the bottleneck, such as disk or NIC or your pipe to the outside world (ISP)? Unless you are doing some awful major crunching such as combining a major size database with heavy calculation on stuff that your server puts up, you could run a pretty major web site on 1/4 that CPU. Just feeding web pages, even with pretty good size forms shouldn't be a problem. So, yes, 64 bits should be OK, but I wonder if it would solve your speed problem - if some other part of the process is what is really holding things up. jerry -- Robin Becker ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In this case, newfreebsd.com must be running sshd on accessible on port 22. Otherwise, you'll need to actually get rsyncd running and alter your invocation to use it (on port 873).

From your options above I notice that you don't know what you're doing. :-) The default is -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe. If you specify any optimization level greater than -O (i.e. -O2 or -O3), you _must_ also include -fno-strict-aliasing, otherwise you will get broken code for certain programs. By the way, -funroll-loops can make programs slower, because the central parts might not fit into the CPU cache anymore. In many cases, the loop overhead is less significant than the overhead of having to access main memory. It depends on the program, of course -- there is no one size fits all. Different programs will benefit from different optimizer flags. In general, the differences are small enough that it's not worth spending much time and efforts for benchmarking. That's another reason to recommend to just go with the default settings. You said you don't want an increase in size. But that's exactly what -O3 (via inlining) and -funroll-loops do. If you want not to increase size, use the default flags. You could even use -Os, which instructs the compiler to optimize for small size (it's somewhere between -O and -O2).

SCSI disks spinning down
I have a server, running FBSD 5.4, that has six SCSI disks in it. It's primarily a fileserver for IT, and it's not access frequently, but it does get some use. Most of the time--any time it's been sitting for a while and not accessed recently--reading from the drive takes a few seconds. I presume this is because the drive has spun down due to it's idleness and the delay is because the drive is spinning up again when I access it. Is there a way to disable this? The drives are IBM Deskstar drives (DPSS-318350M), and I don't know if this feature is a feature in the SCSI subsystem somewhere on FBSD or a jumper setting on the drive or what.

preserving metadata on filesystems that don't
I would like to create monthly backups of large chunks of data that make full use of the unix file system features (that is, regular permissions, symlinks, hardlinks, support of certain special characters, etc). I would like to back this data up to a (remote) filesystem that doesn't support some of these features. My question is, how can I back up this metadata when the target filesystem doesn't support it? It seems like it wouldn't take much ruby/perl/younameit to create a small berkelydb or something of all of the original data (like permissions and where symlinks live) and a map from original filename to the target filename (in the case of unsupported characters). Since this is relatively simple, and I imagine that the incidence of people wanting to back up their data to things like USB keys that they can access from other operating systems (in this particular instance, I am using a Xythos server www.xythos.com with a WebDAV remote filesystem), I imagine that this code has already been written, but maybe I'm just using the wrong search terms. I'd also like to not reinvent rsync if I can avoid it. Since the target is webdav, I guess that I could use webdav properties to store this information (any ideas on how to automate that?), but I have to imagine that this has already been done for target filesystems like FAT32 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No IPs, no hostnames ... [...] From now forward, the stats will be viewable from: http://www.bsdstats.org That's very cool. I've installed it on some of my machines. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to use it on all of them, for reasons outlined below. I've got a few suggestions and ideas ... (1) When run for the first time, you get an error message: : not found That's because a few bogus spaces after the backslash in the line containing the chmod command. Those trailing spaces should be removed. I suppose I don't need to send a PR for that. :-) (2) Some people aborted the inital sleep 900 (because of the above-mentioned error message, or other reasons), then restarted the script. In this case there is no sleep, and the submission _seems_ to be successful (no negative feedback), but it isn't. One way to improve the situation would be to check the mtime on the /var/db/bsdstats file. If it's younger than 900 seconds, a sleep is required. For example, something like this piece of shell code (untested): FILETIME=$( stat -f %m $id_token_file ) NOW=$( date +%s ) if [ $(( $NOW - 900 )) -le $FILETIME ]; then SLEEPTIME=$(( 900 - ($NOW - $FILETIME) )) echo Token key is younger than 15 minutes! echo Sleeping $SLEEPTIME seconds, please wait. sleep $SLEEPTIME fi (3) Some sites require the use of a proxy for HTTP access. Such sites usually have an entry in /etc/make.conf, so the ports can fetch their distfiles: FETCH_ENV= FTP_PROXY=http://proxy.my.site:3128 \ HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.my.site:3128 The bsdstats script could easily pick up that entry and set the environment variables appropriatly. This line at the beginning of the script should be sufficient: export $( make -V FETCH_ENV 2/dev/null ) (4) Some sites have a proxy that requires authentication. It is possible to include the password in the FETCH_ENV entry in /etc/make.conf, but it's usually not a good idea to do that, because you shouldn't write passwords to files that are world-readable. That problem could be solved in different ways. One way would be a periodic.conf setting that instructs the script not to try to submit the data, but instead just print a reminder to the admin that he should run the monthly script manually (or print that reminder automatically when the submission fails because the proxy denies access). When the admin runs the script manually (which could be detected by test -t 0, i.e. stdin is a terminal), it could ask for the HTTP proxy password and then set the HTTP_PROXY_AUTH variable appropriately (see fetch(3)). (5) Some machines might not be able to access the web at all. For example, I'm right now working on a farm of 35 machines which don't have internet access, not even via a proxy. I can connect to them via ssh/scp (port 22) from a management machine, and that management machine only has web access via a proxy. It would be nice to be able to request token keys on behalf of those 35 servers from the management machine, transfer them to the servers, run the data gathering script on the servers (putting it into a file instead of submitting it directyl), copy the results to the management machine and finally submit them from there. That's pretty complicated, but I'm afraid I haven't gotten a better idea so far. :-( (6) All of the statistics on the web page are sorted by percentages. It would be nice to be able to click on a column header and have the table sorted by that value. That would be especially useful for the release statistics and the country statistics. (If the PHP sources and a database export were publicly available, I would have taken a shot at implementing it.) (7) In order to make the bsdstats project really useful, it is very important to have as many FreeBSD people as possible install it. Currently, only very few people will notice the port and bother to install it. Therefore I suggest to put bsdstats into the base system (it's only a small script after all, no bloat), and add a small switch to sysinstall which asks users whether they want to enable it, creating appropriate periodic.conf entry for them, and maybe even automatically running it when booting the newly installed system for the first time. Maybe it should be proposed and discussed in the arch@ mailing list. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH Co.

Re: GCC - Optimal Optimization

The default is -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe.

That's true for stock GCC but FreeBSD (6.x) CFLAGS, COPTFLAGS, and
CXXFLAGS defaults to -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe. Try compiling a
port without setting CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf and you will see what we
mean.
You said you don't want an increase in size. But that's
exactly what -O3 (via inlining) and -funroll-loops do.
If you want not to increase size, use the default flags.
You could even use -Os, which instructs the compiler to
optimize for small size (it's somewhere between -O and
-O2).
-O3 was a typo, I meant -O2. And I'm not against an absolute
increase in size, just a significant one (10% is about where I'd start
to care)
-O2 is the default in FreeBSD 6.x maybe even in 5.5 too. Here's my
make.conf, I run FreeBSD 6.1/i386 on an Athlon64 3200+:
CPUTYPE?=athlon-xp
CFLAGS+= -mtune=athlon64
COPTFLAGS+= -mtune=athlon64
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/devel/sdl1*}
CFLAGS+= -O3
.endif
Note that I don't have -O2 -march=athlon-xp -mfpmath=sse
-funroll-loops -pipe -ffast-math etc. etc. in my conf file. The
reason I don't have it in there is it breaks things! A better way to
do this is on a port by port basis, that's what the .if block is for.
Also note that I don't set CXXFLAGS. Why? because CXXFLAGS is set to
whatever CFLAGS is set to. Also note the use of += and ?=, and the
creative use of -mtune= to optimize the parts of the kernel, world,
and ports that ignore CPUTYPE... BTW never put -march= in CFLAGS
because it WILL break your system... Use CPUTYPE?= to set -march.

No, athlon-xp is valid:

My bad.
And -mfp-math=sse actually does nothing because there's not supposed to
be a hyphen between fp and math.
You will break your system if you use that unconditionally. Use the
.if .endif block I showed you if you really feel like using it...
and... you better benchmark before and after because you may actually
be slowing down the app.
