What is the recommended policy here? Should subscribers be advised to change character set when posting to the list? No. It's the responsibility of the person doing the filtering - in this case you - to exempt any known good e-mail sender from your filters. You know damn well that legitimate mailing list mail comes from mx2.freebsd.org (mx2.freebsd.org [216.136.204.119]) it's right in the headers of the messages on the list. First: You know all too well that filtering based on Received header fields is not reliable - any decent spammer know how to forge that. Spammers cannot forge the Received header that your own mailserver puts into the received message. The first Received line of the message is always legitimate. You can also turn on the Sendmail flag to put in the envelope address if you have multiple aliases to a mailbox that you want to see. Accepting mail from a particular host should be done even before the mail delivery starts. Don't know what your talking about here. Second: If you know postfix, you also know that header filtering is independent of other checks, even the result of filtering on individual header lines are independent. So the ideal you mention is not an option until a complete public list of authorized mail servers is available and all mail relayed through these requires authentication. I don't know Postfix. So what your saying is Postfix is so defective that you can't use it for filtering? No wonder I never bothered to deal with it. And, this isn't true anyway. You can easily tell with a little sleuthing what all of the mail emitters are for the FreeBSD mailing lists. Many mailing list managers, in fact, go to the trouble of posting publically what their mailservers are. And if the transmitting domain really has their shit together, they will have published SPF records in their DNS that will tell you what the authorized mailservers for that domain are. Sendmail has an SPF milter and I believe Spamassassin can also use these for weighting. (I'm too lazy to check for sure right now) Or do you have the solution that does not imply accepting any of a myriad of character sets? I'd be happy to implement that, but I don't want to open my mail server to receive mail I have no means of reading and understanding just because it is RFC compliant. You open your mailserver to known, whitelisted, legitimate sending servers, and let everyone else deal with the charset filtering. You know your going to accept mail from freebsd.org (or you tell your users to tell you if they are) and you exempt these servers from filtering. You have no right to force other people to conform to what you feel is acceptable formatting of their message as long as they meet the SMTP rfc standards. That's why we have RFC's. You you know perfectly well that content filtering is not based on the RFC's on SMTP but rather on the Internet Message Format and various RFC's on MIME - but I assume that you meant to refer to these. content filtering and message charsets aren't the same thing. A content filter checks for Make Money FAST and other obvious spam content. You don't like Viagra? That's a content filter that takes care of that. However, marking a non-spam message as spam soley because it's written in another language that you don't read - that's not a content filter. There's nothing in the content of that message that is spam. Thus you have no moral right to force mailing list users to conform to a specific language. Certainly, you can say I don't know Spanish so I will just setup a filter to delete anything I get written in Spanish but your crossing the line when you start telling people they can't post Spanish to a mailing list. Basically what you say here is that spammers have every right to flood mail servers as long as they do so compliant with the RFC's? I'm saying that you don't have the right to force other people to modify their content on messages that AREN'T spam just because your spam filters are too piss-poor to differentiate between an Asian charset message that is spam, and an Asian charset message that is a legitimate message. I don't force anyone to conform to any arbitrary standards that I decide upon, but I have every legitimate right to reject anything that doesn't conform to my arbitrary standards.

Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Spammers cannot forge the Received header that your own mailserver puts into the received message. The first Received line of the message is always legitimate. Please read my reply to Ian, who commented exactly the same. The Recieved headers are useless for filtering. Accepting mail from a particular host should be done even before the mail delivery starts. Don't know what your talking about here. The first Received header line, which as you correctly mention is (the only) reliable, is inserted by your own server based on the info from the establishing connection and HELO command. In this case you can decide to accept or reject the mail before accepting the DATA. This is more efficient as you don't waste bandwidth receiving data you will later reject. Also this means that later filtering on the first Received field is double work: You already accepted the mail based on that information. In short: Writing header filtering rules for the Received field is simply waste of time and proof of inefficiency. Second: If you know postfix, you also know that header filtering is independent of other checks, even the result of filtering on individual header lines are independent. I don't know Postfix. So what your saying is Postfix is so defective that you can't use it for filtering? No wonder I never bothered to deal with it. Just as Sendmail, Postfix is not designed for spam filtering. Postfix provides simple filtering mechanisms, keeping it simple postfix provides an effective and reliable MTA that doesn't suffer the track record of security bugs Sendmail does. When the native filters does not suffice you can combine with any number of policy services: External filtering mechanisms such as postgrey, spam assassin etc. This design is clean, reliable and easy to manage. I mentioned a solution using the mechanisms supported natively by postfix. OP had problems that spam assassin and procmail did not catch these mails. Basically what you say here is that spammers have every right to flood mail servers as long as they do so compliant with the RFC's? I'm saying that you don't have the right to force other people to modify their content on messages that AREN'T spam just because your spam filters are too piss-poor to differentiate between an Asian charset message that is spam, and an Asian charset message that is a legitimate message. Call it piss-poor, but it is very effective, and simple to implement. If you have an effective alternative please do share. OP requested a way to filter away the spam in foreign character sets because for some reason these were not caught by Spam Assassin or procmail. I gave a solution that solves that problem, and I mentioned the problem of false negatives for this list. Rather than get pissed, do try to offer an alternative solution to a real problem. I don't force anyone to conform to any arbitrary standards that I decide upon, but I have every legitimate right to reject anything that doesn't conform to my arbitrary standards. No argument there - but your crossing the line (or the other poster is crossing the line) when your talking about telling list subscribers to change charsets when they post. I think you misread my original post. I brought up the issue exactly because filtering on charsets causes false positives whichever way you do it. I don't have a particular desire to throw away legitimate mail, in fact I'd like to solve that problem (and I think OP want that too), but so far you have not contributed with a working alternative. I asked politely if there were any consensus or best practices etc. on this issue. You have the regular mail on how to get the best results there are recommendations on how to use this list, they are not enforced but only serve as guidelines. I don't try to force people to use particular character sets, I merely ask whether such recommendation exist for the best results when using the list, in which case filtering on charsets may be the least imperfect solution (until you share your perfect filter, that is).

I'd recommend transmission. You can get the source from http://transmission.m0k.org/. You can configure it for console use with ./configure --disable-gtk gmake.

2.57), I get (modulo wrapping)
cc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -pthread -o mimedefang mimedefang.o
drop_privs_threaded.o utils.o rm_r.o syslog-fac.o /usr/lib/libmilter.a
-lpthread
/usr/lib/libmilter.a(errstring.o)(.text+0xd6): In function `sm_errstring':
: undefined reference to `ldap_err2string'
The undefined reference is apparently in libmilter.a and it seems (Google
again) that the ldap_err2string symbol comes from the openldap library. Is
it possible that the build of libmilter is not picking up libldap
from /usr/local/lib?
OK, this seems to be the same problem that was reported in (at least) PR
ports/95646 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=95646 and PR
ports/95647 (both ports which would not build with an LDAP-enabled core
sendmail).
The solution proposed in ports/95646 was to make the various Sendmail LDAP
options in /etc/make.conf invisible to libmilter.
This certainly works - it prevents a build of libmilter passing the LDAP flags
through to libsm at this line in the build of /usr/src/lib/libmilter:
cc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe
-I/usr/src/lib/libmilter/../../contrib/sendmail/src
-I/usr/src/lib/libmilter/../../contrib/sendmail/include -I. -DNOT_SENDMAIL
-Dsm_snprintf=snprintf -D_THREAD_SAFE -DNETINET6 -I/usr/local/include
-DSASL=2 -c /usr/src/lib/libmilter/../../contrib/sendmail/libsm/errstring.c
libsm/errstring.c refers to ldap_err2string in a conditional testing on
LDAPMAP. ldap_err2string is declared in the #included /usr/local/lib/ldap.h.
(I didn't search for where it's defined).
It looks as though the problem is less with ports, and more with a subtle
breakage of the core sendmail when built with LDAP - specifically in building
libsm/errstring.c as part of the libmilter build.
Is pretending that LDAPMAP is not set while compiling libmilter the right
solution?
Should the necessary changes to /etc/make.conf be documented somewhere or even
automated in some way?
I have spent five days trying to solve this. I have rewritten
my /etc/make.conf as follows:
WANT_OPENLDAP_SASL=true
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS = -I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD = -lsasl2
.if ${.CURDIR} != /usr/src/lib/libmilter
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS += -DLDAPMAP
SENDMAIL_LDADD += -lldap -llber
.endif
This works but it Just Feels Wrong.

Re: Automated installations
Hello FreeBSD fans, I am in search of an tool for automated installations. SOmething like Kickstart or Autoyast for Linux - just the BSD-able version ;-) Is anybody aware of such a tool that I perhaps overlooked or anybody perhaps currently developing one ? Best regards Nils Valentin Well, there are already a sysinstall and GUI-Sysinstall is on it's way. Also, there are such things like PC-BSD and DesktopBSD. While PC-BSD is kind of fork (with it's pbi subsystem), DesktopBSD is just preconfigured FreeBSD with nice graphical user-friendly installer and some additional soft like graphical pakage manager, wi-fi network configurator, user-mounting GUI tool and so on. Maybe you should try DesktopBSD?

Am I missing something? Shouldn't the ports system by default be setup in a way that this would work? I don't know. But having Emacs auto-load every mode from there doesn't seem a good idea. And the port can't do that either, since it's a per-user decision. I wasn't suggesting emacs autoload every mode, but rather that emacs simply read the files, and offer me the choice of using modes defines in such files. E.g. do the same as $emacs -l /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/python-mode.el If I start emacs by just typing emacs, and then use esc-x python-mode is not an option. However, If I use the -l option, python-mode is not automatically loaded, but emacs will then offer me the option of loading it later. Your suggested additions to my .emacs file, seems to work, though. The newer versions of GNU Emacs include `python-mode' in the core Emacs distribution, so you might want to try the editors/emacs-devel port :) The distfiles of this port are generated from CVS snapshots of Emacs 22.X, which is going to be the next release of GNU Emacs. This version of Emacs still has a few rough edges (i.e. the GTK+ UI crashes on FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT), but it has worked remarkably well for several months here.

Hi Filippo,
a) you can work with the win32-codecs team to solve the remote code execution
vulnerability
b) you can be brave, reckless and probably 0wn3d soon by disabling the
vulnerability checks and upgrading anyway (dont know how to do this, sorry)
c) you can keep the slightly older port but it seems it is still
vulnerable:
$ sudo portaudit

Affected package: win32-codecs-3.1.0.p8,1

Reference:

d) you can uninstall win32-codecs :)

Base sendmail: undefined symbol in libmilter when -DLDAPMAP set in make.conf
This summarises the conversation I have had with myself on the list over the
last few days: I'm not sure whether this is really a question or a potential
PR.
I am running FreeBSD-6.1-RELEASE-p5 (cvsup on 6 September).
One of the source files for a rebuild of /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/libmilter
is /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/libsm/errstring.c.
If SENDMAIL_CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf contains -DLDAPMAP (and SENDMAIL_LDADD
contains -lldap -llber) when libmilter is rebuilt, LDAPMAP enables a
conditional compilation in errstring.c of a call to ldap_err2string.
The resulting libmilter.a contains an undefined reference to that symbol,
which prevents building some ports which use milters (at least
mail/mimedefang as per my experience, mail/sentinel as per PR ports/95647 and
security/amavisd-milter as per PR ports/95646).
There is a suggested fix under ports/95646, which is to ensure that when
building libmilter, the SENDMAIL_CFLAGS and SENDMAIL_LDADD do *not* contain
-DLDAPMAP and -lldap -llber respectively.
I have used the following in /etc/make.conf to do this:
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS = -I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD = -lsasl2
.if ${.CURDIR} != /usr/src/lib/libmilter
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS += -DLDAPMAP
SENDMAIL_LDADD += -lldap -llber
.endif
It appears to work but it does seem... less than elegant.

Seriously, it's matured better than linux. Based on a codebase tested and depended upon for a lot longer than linux has been around. BSD is here to stay, even if linux is becoming more mainstream. Simply because it works, and has worked for years and years. FreeBSD is an entire operating system. The 'commands' you run (ie: shells, tar, disk utilities, filesystems, etc) are all bundled in the same code as one offering. Linux is a kernel, and a filesystem - each individual distribution therefore consisting of the kernel and various (mostly third- party/gnu) utilities to make up an O/S. Since there's no real central 'standard' set of utilities, each distribution varies not only in what it supports, how it works, but also where and how everything is configured from the install. FreeBSD on the other hand, stays tride and true with the same structure and only minimal variances (ie: sysinstall moved from /stand to /usr/sbin in version 6). On a more personal note, I prefer *BSD to linux because of the simplicity; too many variances between different linux distributions. With linux everyone and their brother has a different distribution out there; differing releases move configuration files to different places, each vendor makes their own package management, etc. I know the same could be argued about FreeBSD vs OpenBSD vs NetBSD, etc... but it's been my experience that linux has no real standard that all distros follow where *BSD does in terms of the userland, and let's face it - the userland is what we all have to work/live with the most.

Nathan Vidican wrote: In one word... stability. Seriously, it's matured better than linux. Based on a codebase tested and depended upon for a lot longer than linux has been around. BSD is here to stay, even if linux is becoming more mainstream. Simply because it works, and has worked for years and years. Probably true. FreeBSD is an entire operating system. The 'commands' you run (ie: shells, tar, disk utilities, filesystems, etc) are all bundled in the same code as one offering. Linux is a kernel, and a filesystem - each individual distribution therefore consisting of the kernel and various (mostly third- party/gnu) utilities to make up an O/S. Since there's no real central 'standard' set of utilities, each distribution varies not only in what it supports, how it works, but also where and how everything is configured from the install. FreeBSD on the other hand, stays tride and true with the same structure and only minimal variances (ie: sysinstall moved from /stand to /usr/sbin in version 6). Linux is all about choice. Yes, there is no single filesystem to stick with Linux. You have ext2/ext3, reiserfs, jfs, xfs you can use. However, each filesystem has its own advantages and disadvantages. Depending on what's needed, one can have different filesystems on one machine. If one looks for a whole OS, Solaris, AIX, OSX, or even Windows will work better at least you do not have to worry about device support problem. Even though there are many Linux distributions, but Linux core pacakges are the mostly the same. The differences are mainly in window manager and GUI applications. No matter which Linux distribution, kernel 2.6.16 is always the same. When it comes to X window, it's xorg across the board. On a more personal note, I prefer *BSD to linux because of the simplicity; too many variances between different linux distributions. With linux everyone and their brother has a different distribution out there; differing releases move configuration files to different places, each vendor makes their own package management, etc. I know the same could be argued about FreeBSD vs OpenBSD vs NetBSD, etc... but it's been my experience that linux has no real standard that all distros follow where *BSD does in terms of the userland, and let's face it - the userland is what we all have to work/live with the most.

Port redirection troubles with natd/ipwf
Hello, I have set myself up a nice FreeBSD router, but im having trouble getting my firewall and NAT configured. I have a basic setup at the moment that is working well, using IPFW for a firewall and also running natd because i have a few computers here on my LAN that want Internet access. However i cannot seem to work out how to get port redirection through NAT working correctly. Currently i have it setup (as i hope my configs bellow show) that all incoming traffic from the web is blocked, unless it was initiated by a host on the LAN; then the check-state and keep-state rules allow the traffic through for that session. My problem comes when i want to so say, its ok for traffic to pass through this port to a target on the LAN. As far as i can make out that is done with the redirect_port setting in natd.conf -- my conf has ports 113 and 3002 redirected to 10.0.0.11. 113 for IDENT, and 3002 as a custom port for a windows ftp server. Take an IDENT request for example, i can see the traffic coming in on port 113, getting nat'd to the correct LAN ip, and even mIRC registering the IDENT request. But it never gets back out. The same with FTP on 3002, if someone attempts to connect they get a message in their client that the request timed out, but i can see a login attempt in the server logs. I have a feeling there is a simple answer to this, but im stuck. Any help is appreciated. My config is bellow, i can provide logs of the behavior if a fix is not obvious.

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 153, Issue 22
I need to ask a few random questions only because I have not found the information by browsing the net: If anyone is able to answer any of the questions I would appreciate it. 1. I've asked in the past about the usb keyboard driver for BSD. It seems that of the 3 USB keyboards that I have, none of the media keys will work on any of them unless I use the supplied PS/2 adapter and plug the keyboard in using the PS/2 port. I can then use volume up/down/mute on all 3 keyboards. If I take the PS/2 adapter off and use the keyboards in the USB port, only the standard keys are readable... the media keys return nothing to gnome's Keyboard Shortcuts program. I have tried all of the standard key reading programs, and they return nothing as well. Today I ran a live ubuntu cd on my machine and noticed the media keys work fine, they were even predefined and ready to go. Is this a problem with the BSD usb keyboard driver? Is there a patch, fix or anything I can do to add support (documentation on how to do this)? 2. Everyone knows Gnome 2.16 is out, and with it comes metacity 2.16.3. Along with all of the wonderful new features such as HAL, etc, metacity apparently supports aiglx in 2.16.3. Is this only on linux machines? and if not, can someone tell me how to add --*enable*-*compositor*. I have made an attempt, but it seem to complain about missing libcm (compositing?).

http://am-productions.biz/docs/devfs.rules.php
Add your user to the operator group or change the mode to 0666 below.
Add to devfs.rules:
add path 'ugen*' group operator
add path 'ugen*' mode 0660
In /usr/local/sbin/pilot-sync-ugen.sh:
#!/bin/sh
#
JPILOT=/usr/X11R6/bin/jpilot-sync
JPILOT_USER=your_username_here
export JPILOT_HOME=/home/$JPILOT_USER
PILOTPORT=usb:/dev/$1
COMMAND=`echo $JPILOT -p $PILOTPORT -b`
# run command ie. (sync)
/usr/bin/su $JPILOT_USER -c $COMMAND
Thanks, this seems to work a little better. Now, when I hit the Hot Sync
button on the cradle, I get the feedback that there's a connection and it says
Identifying user on the Visor, but it just hangs there and eventually gives
up. If I comment out the action and try it from the commandline, pilot-xfer says
Listening for incoming connection on usb:/dev/ugen0... . It seems to me that
both are waiting for the other to initiate something. ugen0 doesn't get created
until I hit the HotSync button, but the pilot-link stuff seems to be waiting
for that to happen again?

What can be done to solve this problem
sincerely
Hi Filippo,
a) you can work with the win32-codecs team to solve the remote code execution
vulnerability
b) you can be brave, reckless and probably 0wn3d soon by disabling the
vulnerability checks and upgrading anyway (dont know how to do this, sorry)
c) you can keep the slightly older port but it seems it is still
vulnerable:
$ sudo portaudit
[...]
Affected package: win32-codecs-3.1.0.p8,1
Type of problem: win32-codecs -- multiple vulnerabilities.
Reference:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/24f6b1eb-43d5-11db-81e1-000e0c2e438a.html
d) you can uninstall win32-codecs :)
other options may be available, but i can't think of them atm :)

RTFM and STFW before anything bad happens.
Try the following as root or su to root
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer
make config
then deselect from the menu the Win32 option
make install clean
note: you will not have win32 codecs support

LDAP home directories
Does anyone have a way to do home directory mapping through LDAP? We've got user directories mounted via NFS to /usr/users and would like to be able to type in cd ~ted and go to Ted's home directory, perhaps in /usr/users/students/ted. We do it in Linux regularly, but I'm trying to lead a migration to FreeBSD-sadly, haven't done LDAP within BSD of any sort before.

Thanks in advance! -- Jay Chandler Network Administrator, Chapman University Hey, We are using FreeBSD with Samba+OpenLDAP, each user effectively needs mapping to a local user so what we've used to give us the ability to type : cd ~user and get their home dir, as well as type : id 1 to get their username/groups... is to install nss_ldap, pam_ldap, edit the files in /etc/pam.d/, there is a lot of good information on this, have a look at the Samba docs as well as the documentation for pam_ldap and nss_ldap. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: ntpd not adjusting the clock?

This misconfiguration will also cause your ntpd to generate excessive numbers of queries, rather than syncing up and reducing the NTP polling interval from minpoll to maxpoll. [1] Remove that line and restart ntpd. That means that anyone can connect to your NTP daemon and poll it for time service or use ntpdc to muck around with your configuration. It's better to use at minimum: restrict default nopeer nomodify restrict localhost (the 'restrict localhost' line actually removes all limitations on access from localhost. Ain't ntp.conf syntax wonderful.) Ideally, you'ld be able to use 'restrict default ignore' then apply restrict 2.pl.pool.ntp.org nopeer nomodify server 2.pl.pool.ntp.org prefer for each server you configure. That works well if you specify individual servers by name. Unfortunately the way NTP pool mechanism works makes that approach unworkable.
