change password without shell access

2006-12-27 Thread Perttu Laine

Hello!

I'm looking tool for freebsd that allows user to change their password
without access to server. If there are any? We're running mail server with
nologin account and would like to let users change their password. From www
would be preferred way. And possibly to change their .forward file too. So
are there any tools for this?

chroot, performance security

2006-12-27 Thread VeeJay

Hi

I have made partations on my web server like at very outer edges of the
disks,

I have /, then /var, /tmp, /usr and in the end /home.

Since I read that Data modified  used often should be placed at close to
outer edges as possible.

So, I am having all logs (apache, ftp, mysql and other logs) under /var/logs
I have all my mysql DBs under /var/mysql/db

But if for Security reseasons, I want to chroot apache, mysql and ftp under
/home, then along with all executables and liberaries I have to move all
logs, DBs under /home/chroot

But then I think, If I move all these data from /var... I miss performance?

Please comment?

RE: limit descriptors

2006-12-27 Thread Marwan Sultan

Hello Dima,

Why do you need to change it?
is it for IRCD server ?
If yes..then you have to change many things, not only the output of ulimit 
-a,


However,
vi /etc/sysctl.conf
kern.maxfiles=16384
kern.maxfilesperproc=8192

which will set:
Number of max filedescriptors for the kernel
and
max number of filedescriptors per process respectively.

these changes will change the output you are asking for..
If it does, then please let me know about it,
as last time i have done these changes was in FreeBSD 4.8R


Best Luck.

- Marwan Sultan.


Hello.

How to change permanently a value of ulimit -n (limit descriptors)?

No tools are present that I know of, but using a little Perl/CGI
or PHP to execute passwd is pretty simple. Just be sure to use a series
of checks so people don't send in chars that can be interpreted for
execution or have special purpose uses by shells.

Don't suggest this solution as it is insecure, but it's an example:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/change-linux-or-unix-system-password-using-php-script.html.
Don't remember how to change the password using command line arguments
either, but I know it can be done somehow (pw? passwd?), some way..

You need not have created so many partitions because it is going to hurt you 
now when you have to chroot. :)

Apache running under chroot means lot of things. OpenBSD has done it by default 
and it means that all the files that users host have to be under the chroot. 
All the DSOs have to be accessible as well.

chrooting ftp or sftp is not much trouble. I think a simple google search will 
tell you how to run sftp under chroot. I would suggest that along with 
chrooting ftp.

mysql should not give u much trouble but then I never use it. 

I am a postgresql guy...

Best of luck!

Girish

Re: Flash in freebsd

2006-12-27 Thread Mario Lobo
Read these instructions from Arjan van Leeuwen.

It works perfectly !!


Hi Henry, others,

As of the latest weekly development release of Opera (see  
http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/), it's now possible to use any Linux  
plugin in the native Opera for FreeBSD version, including Flash and  
Acrobat Reader. The feature will be included in the upcoming Opera 9.1.

For now, it'll require some actions to get it to work, but if you'd like  
to experiment with this, this might help:
0) Make sure you have the x11/linux-xorg-libs port installed.

1) Download and extract the latest weekly release for both FreeBSD and  
Linux:
http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/Weekly-507/intel-freebsd/opera-9.10-20061205.4-shared-qt.i386.freebsd-en-507.tar.bz2
http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/Weekly-507/intel-linux/opera-9.10-20061205.1-static-qt.i386-en-507.tar.bz2
(FreeBSD package is for FreeBSD 6.x and requires Qt installed)

2) Copy operapluginwrapper from the Linux package over to the FreeBSD  
package:
$ cd opera-9.10-20061205.4-shared-qt.i386.freebsd-en-507
$ 
cp  ../opera-9.10-20061205.1-static-qt.i386-en-507/plugins/operapluginwrapper  
plugins/

Now, if you want to run the Opera weekly directly from the package without  
installing (will use a fresh, empty profile, recommended):

3) Copy libnpp.so within the FreeBSD package to a new location:
$ cp plugins/libnpp.so bin/libnpp.so

4) Run Opera
$ ./opera

If instead you want to install Opera for all users (will overwrite  
existing installations and use your default profile, not recommended with  
development releases like this):

3) Run install
$ ./install.sh

4) Copy libnpp.so manually to the Opera binary directory
$ cp plugins/libnpp.so /usr/local/share/opera/bin/

5) Run Opera
$ /usr/local/bin/opera

The actions described here do not affect Java; you'll still be able to run  
Java applets with the native version of Java (such as diablo-jdk or  
diablo-jre).

We appreciate any reports on whether this feature works as expected (or  
doesn't at all).

wrote:

  Thanks for you support. I have posted on the forum, on ocasion.
  The main issues, for me, are
  1) Java (idiablo-jdk - it doesn't work, even though the path is right);

I'm using it here - the path to use is  
/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/. You can post on the forum if you  
have more problems with this. It could be that you're using a package  
that's compiled for a different version of FreeBSD; use the .4 package if  
you're on FreeBSD 6.

  2)  the Flash plugin. Is there a way to use the Linux emulation layer
 in order to get the plug-in working?

See above :)

  3) Cyrillic fonts look small, and you can't make them bigger.

I don't know about that, but you could file a bug at  
http://bugs.opera.com/.

Best regards,

Arjan van Leeuwen

I know squirrel plugins would be one solution, but problem is that we run
webmail on remote machine and don't want to move it into mailserver 'cause
it would need more cpu and memory there. And running squirrelmail just for
password changing on mail server would be kinda stupid 'cause people would

Try linux-firefox if you're desperate. linux-flashplugin7
works pretty much out of the box with it. Peruse mailing
lists archives and you'll get it working with firefox,
opera, linux-opera and a bunch of other browsers.

Good luck!

Re: freebsd on i386-type internet appliance and cf card

2006-12-27 Thread Lowell Gilbert
Steve Franks [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 So, I've installed freebsd on a compact flash card sucessfully in my laptop
 (or so it looks - sysinstall completes to /dev/ad4, copies everything, no
 errors, etc) with the regular harddisk removed (for safety, of course).

 Only it won't boot on the internet appliance when I stick the CF in there
 (that's it's only supported boot device).  I get the F1 - Freebsd bootloader
 prompt, then nothing more.  I let it sit for a good 10 min, just to be sure.

 It's a i386 compatible processor, and people have sucessfully run at least 3
 flavors of linux on it, as well as win98 from what I can glean on the net.

 If I restart sysinstall, I can see the partition was written, but I can't
 mount it from a running bsd machine - incorrect superblock, which I think
 has to do with the following (aka. all or dd partitions):

 I tried 'all three' modes of partition - create, all, and DD.  Each
 time sysinstall completes, each time F1 - freebsd, but nothing more.

 Used 'auto' on the label editor - the defaults seemed reasonable...

 Thoughts?

It doesn't sound like the system hardware is relevant; I think the
card isn't sufficiently installed to boot anywhere.  Also, you should
be able to do without the bootloader menu (although it shouldn't hurt
anything).  

Perhaps it's just a matter of the root device being wrong?  You might
need to set root_disk_unit (or rootdev or currdev) for the loader.

Calculate the time of last modification of a file

2006-12-27 Thread Odhiambo Washington
Hiya,

I hope you had a merry Christmas ;)

I am trying to determine the time of last modification of a file,
on FreeBSD.

The following code achieves the same on Linux:


# AGE = (current time) - (time of last modification of $FILE)
# please check your systems 'stat' command!
AGE=$(($(date +%s) - $(stat -c '%Y' $FILE)))

test $AGE -lt $DELAY  {
echo -n yes
exit 0
}


Here is the whole bash script, just so that everything is clear:

cut

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
test -t 0  trap echo EXIT

NAME=$1; shift
DELAY=${1:-600}; shift
BASE=${1:-/var/run/greydata}; shift

NAME=${NAME//.//}
DIR=$BASE/${NAME%/*}
FILE=$DIR/${NAME##*/}


test -d $DIR || mkdir -p $DIR

test -f $FILE || {
 $FILE
echo -n yes
exit 0 
}

# AGE = (current time) - (time of last modification of $FILE)
# please check your systems 'stat' command!
AGE=$(($(date +%s) - $(stat -c '%Y' $FILE)))

test $AGE -lt $DELAY  {
echo -n yes
exit 0
}

read $FILE
echo -n no
exit 0

/cut


The `stat -c` is illegal for FreeBSD. However I don't seem to understand 
clearly what the man page for stat is telling me, to enable me make this
work.

 The following code achieves the same on Linux:

 # please check your systems 'stat' command!
 AGE=$(($(date +%s) - $(stat -c '%Y' $FILE)))
 
 test $AGE -lt $DELAY  {

I *think* what you are looking for is:

  stat -f '%Sm' -t '%s'

There is probably a much easier way to do that, but I couldn't find it
in the five minutes I had to spare.  :-)

You can use stat -f '%m' $FILE, which is identical to Linux's 
stat -c '%Y' $FILE .

You could use webmin (in the ports) It might be a bit of overkill, but it will

linux compatability question

2006-12-27 Thread Jim Stapleton

I'm not sure what to do at this point, I'm trying to run a linux app
(binary) that requires libGLU.so.1, and it's an x86 binary.

When I first ran it, it complained that the file libGLU.so.1 could not
be found (it was in my /usr/X11R6/lib directory. I made a simlink with
that name to that file to /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib and now get this
error:

./partiview: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libGLU.so.1:
ELF file OS ABI invalid

This is on an i950 based notebook (integrated intel graphics), using
the i810 and vga drivers in X. FreeBSD 6.1,  X is either 6.8 or 6.9

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Jim Stpleton

NIS intermittent connection trouble

2006-12-27 Thread Dan Casey
I have an NIS server setup on a specific vlan.  All my nis clients are
setup on separate vlans with different networks.

All of my clients have the same problem. When i run /etc/rc.d/ypbind
start  then /etc/rc.d/ypset start, everything works properly.


However it will stop working for no apparent reason, and just timeout
until it is restarted.

Also If i make the server unavailable, then bring it back it has the
same affect.  It is as if it fails once, and never retries the same
server.   How can i fix this?  Currently I have a cronjob set to restart
ypbind and ypset.

Re: Flash in freebsd

2006-12-27 Thread Sean Bryant

Mario Lobo wrote:

Read these instructions from Arjan van Leeuwen.

It works perfectly !!


Hi Henry, others,

As of the latest weekly development release of Opera (see  
http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/), it's now possible to use any Linux  
plugin in the native Opera for FreeBSD version, including Flash and  
Acrobat Reader. The feature will be included in the upcoming Opera 9.1.


For now, it'll require some actions to get it to work, but if you'd like  
to experiment with this, this might help:

0) Make sure you have the x11/linux-xorg-libs port installed.

1) Download and extract the latest weekly release for both FreeBSD and  
Linux:

http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/Weekly-507/intel-freebsd/opera-9.10-20061205.4-shared-qt.i386.freebsd-en-507.tar.bz2
http://snapshot.opera.com/unix/Weekly-507/intel-linux/opera-9.10-20061205.1-static-qt.i386-en-507.tar.bz2
(FreeBSD package is for FreeBSD 6.x and requires Qt installed)

2) Copy operapluginwrapper from the Linux package over to the FreeBSD  
package:

$ cd opera-9.10-20061205.4-shared-qt.i386.freebsd-en-507
$ 
cp  ../opera-9.10-20061205.1-static-qt.i386-en-507/plugins/operapluginwrapper  
plugins/


Now, if you want to run the Opera weekly directly from the package without  
installing (will use a fresh, empty profile, recommended):


3) Copy libnpp.so within the FreeBSD package to a new location:
$ cp plugins/libnpp.so bin/libnpp.so

4) Run Opera
$ ./opera

If instead you want to install Opera for all users (will overwrite  
existing installations and use your default profile, not recommended with  
development releases like this):


3) Run install
$ ./install.sh

4) Copy libnpp.so manually to the Opera binary directory
$ cp plugins/libnpp.so /usr/local/share/opera/bin/

5) Run Opera
$ /usr/local/bin/opera

The actions described here do not affect Java; you'll still be able to run  
Java applets with the native version of Java (such as diablo-jdk or  
diablo-jre).


We appreciate any reports on whether this feature works as expected (or  
doesn't at all).

wrote:



 Thanks for you support. I have posted on the forum, on ocasion.
 The main issues, for me, are
 1) Java (idiablo-jdk - it doesn't work, even though the path is right);


I'm using it here - the path to use is  
/usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/. You can post on the forum if you  
have more problems with this. It could be that you're using a package  
that's compiled for a different version of FreeBSD; use the .4 package if  
you're on FreeBSD 6.



 2)  the Flash plugin. Is there a way to use the Linux emulation layer
in order to get the plug-in working?


See above :)


 3) Cyrillic fonts look small, and you can't make them bigger.


I don't know about that, but you could file a bug at  
http://bugs.opera.com/.


Best regards,

Arjan van Leeuwen


Actually 9.10 was released and it is supposed to have support out of the 
box for linux plugins. So why not try the latest release.

 In the last episode (Dec 20), Mark Kane said:
  Thanks very much for the replies. Both drives are external, and they
  both have terminators on the back. The setup is like this:
  
  The DDS autoloader is connected to the back of the Adaptec card via
  a new external HD68 cable and the terminator that came with the
  drive is on the second plug of the unit.
  
  The Sun DLT drive is connected via an external HD50 cable to an
  adaptor that turns it into an internal cable which is then
  connected to the Adaptec card internally. It has a Sun terminator
  on the second plug on the unit.
  
  The cable that connects the DDS autoloader is brand new. It's not a
  major brand name, but it's listed as double shielded, UL20276
  listed, etc. The cable that connects the DLT unit is an older
  Adaptec one (possibly used) purchased for a few dollars locally. I
  could understand if that cable was a problem for writing using that
  drive, but having the issue on both drives like this with two
  separate cables just seems like it's something else.
  
  By the way, the green LEDs on both terminators are illuminated so
  they should be working.
 
 All that looks okay to me.  Try reposting your question to the
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] list.

Thanks again for the responses. Before I bug scsi@, I have a little
more information now that might help. I'll try to keep it simple.

When using pax, both drives write more data and get further than before
with cpio. The DLT (which previously gave those SCSI errors after
writing ~200 or ~500MB) can now write the full 17GB directory fine with
pax and without any SCSI errors or tape full problems. If I try to add
my 1.6GB mail directory onto that, it errors out with tape full after
about half my mail directory...so for simplicity's sake, it stops at
around 18GB with a tape full error.

On the DDS drive, pax gets considerably farther than cpio but still
cannot write the full 17GB directory. With pax, it errors out with a
tape full error pretty close to the end of that 17GB, but will never
complete it.

The files themselves inside those directories are of varying sizes,
however no single file is over 2GB.

So now I think it's pretty much down to drives saying the tape is full
before it really is without any specific SCSI errors anymore.

Re: Need to restrict DNS requests to just 5 per second

[ ... ]

Thank you very much for your help and suggestions. Actually, the reason
why I want to implement this restriction is because some clients whose
Windows PCs are infected with viruses and malwares send up to 10-20
bogus DNS queries per second which causes the traffic utilization to go
almost 5 times high on the dns server.


There are legitimate reasons why a client machine might want to make dozens or 
even hundreds of DNS lookups per second-- or have you never used adns or 
another webserver logfile analyzer yourself?  :-)


Please consider solving the problem rather than a symptom.

If you experience what you determine to be malicious traffic from a host or 
traffic which violates your published AUP, please contact the systems' owner 
or perform firewall egress filtering on such a machine until it gets fixed.

What's seen above is the result of a typo in programming. Refer this on
to the maintainer so he/she can either patch the booboo or send this
error upstream to the project devs.

If you haven't setup sound on your FreeBSD machine, refer to this
section of the handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html.

Otherwise, feel free to attach or link a copy of your kernel config so
we can have a look at it.

Override dummynet delay limit

2006-12-27 Thread ryan m

Hello,
I'm trying to override the 10 second limit to a dummynet pipe delay,
and allow it to be unlimited (or at least several minutes).

I found this email in the achives:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2004-March/003370.html

Following the email I modified /usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw2.c

I changed:
   if (do_pipe == 1) {
   if (p.pipe_nr == 0)
   errx(EX_DATAERR, pipe_nr must be  0);
   if (p.delay  1)
 errx(EX_DATAERR, delay must be  1);
   } else { /* do_pipe == 2, queue */

to
   if (do_pipe == 1) {
   if (p.pipe_nr == 0)
   errx(EX_DATAERR, pipe_nr must be  0);
//if (p.delay  1)
//  errx(EX_DATAERR, delay must be  1);
   } else { /* do_pipe == 2, queue */

and I recompiled via
in the /usr/src directory
make buildkernel KERNCONF=DUMMYNET
make installkernel KERNCONF=DUMMYNET

but I still get

prompt$ ipfw pipe 1 config delay 6
ipfw: delay must be  1

I've also tried changing that message in the source code to say something
different, but the changes aren't updated at the command line message, so it
seems my changes aren't actually be taken into effect via my approach.  I've
also tried doing a recursive grep on delay must be in the /usr/src
directory thinking I might be changing the wrong file, but this is the only
place that it's logical for me to need to change to get the desired effect.
What am I doing wrong, please help?

Thank you kindly for your time,
Ryan
research assistant at Lehigh University

You need to rebuild ipfw :)  cd to /usr/src/sbin/ipfw, run make obj 
make depend  make  make install .

No driver for NIC...

2006-12-27 Thread B. Hansmann
Hi,

I just got a new mainboard (MSI K9N Platinum) with nvidia nforce
570/MCP55
chipset. It has a dualLAN 1Gbit ethernet adapter which I think is
integrated into the southbridge chipset (nforce 570/MCP55).
The mainboard manual says it's controlled by Vitesse VSC8601.

I am new to FreeBSD and I did not manage to get it
to work (6.2-rc2 amd64).

I compiled a new kernel with this nve driver (for nvidia mcp onboard
ethernet adapters) but it did not work. I tried to load all the if_*
modules but none worked.

Before I tried this I installed NetBSD3.1 and there it worked perfectly
after the first boot (said it was an mcp55 lan adapter).

How do I get this ethernet thing to work or is this chipset not
supported? (mcp55 sound works as stated in the hardware list on freebsd).

Help would be appreciated! Thanks...

mplayer configuration

2006-12-27 Thread Dr. Jennifer Nussbaum
i used to use mplayer without a problem but i just upgraded it and
now have problems--it doesnt work.

i can play audio files wiht xmms, but if i try to use mplayer i get an error
Could not open/initialize audio device - no sound.

If i use gmplayer, it also doesnt work (same error) but i fooled around
and saw that if i go to the Preferences configuration, and the Audio tab,
and select the oss driver, it works. (Only for that sesssion, if i start it
up again it doesnt work).

How do i get this set up to work properly. i didnt see anything in
/usr/ports/UPDATING and i didnt change anything (nothing intentional
anyway) that would make things stop.

Thanks!

Jen

I believe the right syntax is...

ao = oss

... in either /usr/local/etc/mplayer.conf (IIRC) or ~/,mplayer/config.

More options are revealed in man mplayer.

Hmmm... doesn't look like you have any bad options.. You should try
compiling the port with the debug flag (-g) and see if you can point out
where it core dumps and then reply with that info or transfer that
information on to the maintainer.
