Updating OpenSSL in FreeBSD 4.11
Hello, I'm running FreeBSD 4.11 and I updated OpenSSL from the source (using ./config --prefix=/usr --openssldir=/usr/include/openssl -- not sure if these paths are correct) and then updated Apache and PHP, which brought me errors. I had to recompile both removing the --use-ssl directives. It also got me errors while trying to recompile OpenSSH from the source, says it can't find the libs. Though I don't want help right now in updating OpenSSH, I want now to remove the new OpenSSL installation and take advantage from the ports system. Is it possible to completely remove this failed installation? I was told if I use ports to install it'd remove/overwrite my two old installations, is this right? Also, is the below proceedure to do this is right? cd /usr/ports/security/openssl make -DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE install clean After getting this right I'll update Apache PHP. Thanks.

Re: pfspamd greylisting stuttering at everything
I'm set up just like the man page, but every incoming connection is being stuttered at. This plays havoc with incoming legit mail, of course, and I've been forced to fall back on older antispam tools. Are you sure you are actually seeing stuttering, not just the greylisting database getting (slowly) initialized? You should expect a 'silent period' while the machines which are trying to send you mail prove their good intentions to your greylister. The point of greylisting, after all, is to force correspondents to retry 'within a reasonable time'. The lower threshold for 'reasonable' is set with the first of the -G arguments to spamd. The other factor is how long the correspondent takes to actually retry, which depends on a number of other factors you really can't influence much, such as the size of that server's outgoing queue. I would give the initial database buildup a few hours at least. If you're impatient and you have a few addresses which you consider 'known good', you could whitelist them using # spamdb -a nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn see spamdb(8) for details. I suppose that man page could do with a bit more text. PS My favorite quote about spamd and greylisting at the moment is this recent message to openbsd-misc: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-miscm=116136841831550w=2 -- Peter N. M.

Probably ought to make sure DMA and all that good stuff is enabled as well. IIRC DMA or something similar was disabled by default for optical drives due to the number of broken devices claiming to support it. As for the cable on backwards, its keyed with a tab on the outside perimeter and inside with a blocked hole or two. Should be very hard to install incorrectly. Back in the bad old days of floppy drives it was common for a floppy to not have a shroud around the pins making it easy to install the cable off by one or more.

Re: HOWTO: run portupgrade with original options for perl5.8
For ports without make config you can edit
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf and edit MAKE_ARGS, something like:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'lang/perl5.8' = 'ENABLE_SUIDPERL=yes',
}
Of course, this only affects portupgrade/portinstall/etc. If you want
it to work for manual building of the port with make in the port dir,
you can alternatively edit /etc/make.conf and add something like:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/lang/perl5.8}
ENABLE_SUIDPERL=yes
.endif

Re : Linux-flashplugin6 or 7
So, here a fast way to install this one You need to get source of freebsd first, and ports so ... in /usr/share/exemple/cvsup you have stable-supfile and ports-supfile put it in your root dir, tune it, and run cvs -z -L 2 on your file so you have to go to /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf get this patch http://www.jail.se/freebsd/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff patch rtld_dlsym_hack.diff make make install so now, install linuxpluginwrapper to allow running linux plugin on native programs install linuxthreads too (use ports for that) next install linux-flashplugin so you have certainly firefox, then plugins is stay here /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins go into this dir and links flash linux plugins in it: ln -s ../npapi/linux-flashplugin/flashplayer.xpt ln -s ../npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so now you can run firefox with flash7 activate, and all work really fine ! - Message d'origine De : Steve Neff [EMAIL PROTECTED] À : freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Envoyé le : Lundi, 23 Octobre 2006, 18h27mn 45s Objet : Linux-flashplugin6 or 7 Hello, First, I love FreeBSD.

master.passwd auth for apache22
Hi there, I've been banging my head against trying to get http auth (you know, the little username/password popup window) working for Apache 2.2 on FreeBSD 6.1 for a while now. It's working beautifully via SASL for Postfix and Dovecot, but I am looking for a reasonably non-kludgey way for the webserver to do it, short of adding a bunch of users to group shadow. Unfortunately, mod_auth_pwcheck only seems to work nicely for Apache 1.3. Has anyone done this sort of thing? I'd prefer to not use .htaccess or any non-master.passwd auth mechanism.

Data Servers: 1 Server holding all the websites data and mail messages. It would serve these files via nfs to the application servers. It would also run mysql A second server Also sharing it's content via nfs, replicating it's data though rsync each ?? minutes. The mysql would run as a slave of theprimary Application Servers: Both servers would be running apache, php, sendmail and posfix and would serve content from the share nfs drive. 1- Is this a viable solution, I mean by that, Is it Like this big ISP are set up ? no The really big ISP's use proprietary commercial clustering solutions that make multiple systems appear as one single system. We are talking hundreds of thousands to millions of users. We are not talking 5000 users or fewer. You can easily serve 5K users on a single server. You just need to get good hardware. In other words, costs start at $5000 and go up. A lot of people are under the misconception that they can get several cheap $900 servers and assemble them into a redundant setup that is highly reliable. The real secret is in getting expensive name-brand hardware that doesen't go down. If you can afford that, your fine. If you can't, then you need to find a different table to play at. Ted Isn't part of the point in running a redundent configuration that you can buy cheap(er) hardware? A $600 machine should be powerful enough to handle that many users. Just make sure you are using RAID 1+0 filesystems, keep replacement parts on hand and are performing regular backups. The real question to ask is what is the provider's SLA and how much does an hour of downtime cost the provider. In my experience, the only things to die on servers have been fans, disks (really the motors), and the occasional power supply. The only things a more expensive system may give you are additional power supplies, hot-swap drive bays and multiple CPUs. Other than the system board and possibly the processors, the server's components come from the same sources as your commodity hardware. I think the setup described above is viable, though I would consider running the database (with master-slave replication) and application services on the same server assuming it can handle the load. Also, you can probably get away with using something like rsync to push changes to your WWW servers. I'm not sure about email, but you could NFS export your mail directories from a central server to the two application servers. Just be aware of NFS' failure modes. So, I'd go with two, user-facing systems and an administrative system that receives email and possibly hosts your code repository. If you can afford it, get systems with redundent power supplies and hot-swap drive bays. Depending on your userbase, you may want to consider a robotic tape library so you don't have to manually change tapes. I've heard some talk of people using raw disks for backups, but I don't have any experience with that type of setup. -Damian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The BSD whois command doesn't seem to get along well with the Verisign whois server.

Re: HOWTO: run portupgrade with original options for perl5.8
On Monday 23 October 2006 17:23, Josh Carroll wrote:
For ports without make config you can edit
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf and edit MAKE_ARGS, something like:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'lang/perl5.8' = 'ENABLE_SUIDPERL=yes',
}
Of course, this only affects portupgrade/portinstall/etc. If you want
it to work for manual building of the port with make in the port dir,
you can alternatively edit /etc/make.conf and add something like:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/lang/perl5.8}
ENABLE_SUIDPERL=yes
.endif
There is also sysutils/portconf that abstracts this approach. Setting flags
in pkgtools.conf doesn't always work because sometimes a port will be
installed as a side-effect of another port and wont get the correct arguments
from MAKE_ARGS.

HAL/FreeBSD Metacity Compositor
Is there any documentation specifically for HAL on FreeBSD? DBUS is working great, hald and policy kit are enabled in rc.conf. I see devices listed under my computer. But I'm not sure how to mount them correctly. I know it's a stupid thing to ask, but do I still need a mount point in fstab? It seems I do. And when mounting a USB key, how come it will mount once, but will not mount a second or third time after it has been unplugged? Also, is there any reason my system would be freezing up hard while it scans the sd slots on my printer? It seems the machine freezes (as in nothing new can happen), but I can still switch from one window to another. If I drop to console CTL-ALT-F1, I can see it scanning the printer sd slots over and over and failing... after a bit the system returns to normal... and everything I've clicked to that point opens or runs. Finally does metacity actually support compositor on FreeBSD? I've tried to add the eye candy, but have had no luck at all compiling metacity with the --enable-compositor flag. I do however see the compositor options in gnome config. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I dont understand why I can print from non-kde apps but not from kde apps. The problem is the `lpr' that KDE is invoking. It's using it's own internal version that requires CUPS to be running. I don't like CUPS, so I recompiled the whole of KDE making sure that x11/kdelibs3 had the flag -DWITHOUT_CUPS. With this flag, KDE runs /usr/bin/lpr instead. Sort of backwards, it uses the /usr/local/bin/lpr that cups-base installs. If you mv it to lpr.o, you can use lp to print from KDE. This is a fix that lofi sent to me early this morning.

Hi there Layla,
you may want to check http://del.icio.us/Numard/control_panel for a list of
control panels for server management. Some of them are commercial, some free
(check the tags , and the respective pages themselves, of course).
Webmin is pretty much the most supported open source server management Web-UI,
but i don't think it's user friendly enough to be put in the hands of end
users. YMMV.

This is a side effect of the balkiization or more accurately, destruction, of the global whois database as a result of the fragmentation of domain name registrations.

And all the registries hate each other because they think that all the others are going to suck down their whois databases and use them for mass-mailings to try to steal customers.
