Hi Grace,

I have installed and configured freeBSD 6.1 and have seen the
configuration of the syslog in /usr/src/libexec/bootpd.
hmm.. why are you using that file?
/etc/syslog.conf is the file syslog will read.
I would like to monitor my system using SYSLOG.
syslog is installed and runs by default, using /etc/syslog.conf as its
configuration file. Is there anything in particular you want to do with this?

LoMAC module: cannot get clearance level revoked
Hello Almighty All,
I am sorry for the possible cross-posting.
I am trying to get the LoMAC module revoke user's privileges. In my test
setup, the user with a higher clearance tries to open a lower clearance file
for reading. After that the process label of the user's process is checked.
As a final test, the user's process tries to write to a file with the higher
integrity label. And he succeeds.
Please find my test setup including the test program below. I will be
grateful for any advice you may have. I am using FreeBSD 6.1. All MAC stuff
enabled, the corresponding module loaded, and other models evaluated (Biba,
MLS, combo).
Thanks,
Kirill

631xESB/632xESB I/O and RAID controller
Hi, I'm Joseph, from Hungary. I would like to use an Intel S5000PSL motherboard with 4 250GB SATA HDDs with RAID10. My problem is that the RAID array isn't recognized during the boot process (ie: no ar0 device appears, only da4,6,8,10) by FreeBSD, neither 6.2-RELEASE, nor -STABLE and -CURRENT. My question is that is there any patch or something (ie: planned to include in a future relase) to solve this problem, or I did something wrong? Any help about this topic is appreciated.

Re: connecting user root with ssh
you are warned, do not allow SSH to your box with user root at all. ... Having root logon enabled remotely is just asking for trouble. The O.P. might be interested in knowing *why* allowing remote root login is considered unwise: * The name root is very well known. * If root can log in remotely, a cracker need only guess root's password to obtain root access. * If root cannot log in remotely, a cracker has to guess three things to obtain root access, instead of just one: + A valid username which is in the wheel group; + That user's password; + The root password. This at least doubles the difficulty of a brute-force attack: even if a suitable username were obvious, there would still be two passwords to be cracked. It can be made even tougher by having only one username (other than root) in the wheel group, choosing that name as if it were a password, and not allowing it to be externally known (e.g. never using it for mail). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It depends a lot on what the server is used for. Is it a file server, a web
server? do you offer shell accounts? FTP? email (SMTP / Pop3 / Imap/ Webmail? )
your own web-based service? CVS? SVN? etc,etc,etc - they all provide for user
logging in. And you may also have access to your server from other parties
without the need for them to log in - you may have to monitor those too.
- you can install the Audit framework . and MAC control if you feel it's
necessary (check the handbook for LOTS of info ) :
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/
- you can google for Monitoring users activity freebsd and you'll see several
resources on different things relating to this.
- Each different service you provides (well, they should and they usually do)
with login information - maybe not by default - you may have to enable logging
and increase the verbosity.
Can you advise me a script or any tool to examine the log files as I want to
consider this machine as a server?

Re: Java on the BSD Desktop?
I guess if everyone here on this list gives his/her two cents to this topic we're having a nice java advocacy flame war. ;-) The main characteristic of a flame war is to disparage other people's arguments while maintaining that your arguments are the best, no? That's why I'm not going to try and talk anyone out of their poison :-), be it C, Python, Perl or C#/Mono. Rather, I would like to continue a constructive discussion by speaking from a personal experience. I apologize in advance if this is OT even though it is FreeBSD-related and this list does see a lot of shell/perl/... questions, so I don't see why a Java question should be illegitimate. First off, in my company we had a Java app (simple app, working with database and e-mails) written for Windows. And then, there came company decision to make Linux the default desktop solution. Java app worked like a charm with no changes whatsoever. Second, I'm running a custom-written Java server app on a FreeBSD server for over half a year in production plus many months before that in development. It works rock solid on Diablo JDK. Of course, we also have a GUI desktop app that connects to this server that works on both Windows and Ubuntu. I completely agree that Sun's licence is a hassle. Fortunately, in a year or two, we're going to have an open source Java platform meaning there will be no hassle with manual download while installing JRE/JDK. Combined with the great API, object-oriented nature of the language, free IDE for serious development (Eclipse and specifically Netbeans with a very capable Swing GUI visual editor) - this combination strikes me as something only Microsoft can compete with.

It's usually much better to install Windows first, as it's fussier about where it's installed and records that information all over itself. FreeBSD is more adaptable so install it after Windows.

OK, first I will just note that syslog does not actually do the monitoring.
It is a utility that receives log messages from other programs and
puts them in log files and keeps track of those log files and rotates
them according to schedules you set up, etc.
You do then, need routines that will check the things you are interested
in and if you want to put them in log files, then make those routines
smart enough to post messages to syslog. I will let others advise you
on specific way of monitoring different parts of the system and searching
log files.

/etc/syslog.conf is the file syslog will read.
I would like to monitor my system using SYSLOG.
syslog is installed and runs by default, using /etc/syslog.conf as its

Re: Dual boot.
On Wed, May 30, 2007 at 07:17:01AM -0300, Paul Halliday wrote: I just installed 6.2 on a 90GB drive. During the installation I created the usual partitions and left 50GB untouched. I then rebooted ran partition magic to put a DOS FS on the remainder then ghosted XP pro onto it. What is the process now to dual boot this? I have tried booting then: sysinstall - configure - fdisk then install the bootmanager but when I try to write out the changes it errors and says: ERROR: Unable to write data to disk ad0! Do I need to start over or can I fix this? First of all, I don't know what you mean by the 'usual partitions'. Usual to what? Do you really mean a couple of slices - one for MS and one for FreeBSD? In general, you should install MS first and have it first on the disk. Then install FreeBSD after that. You don't indicate how you are running sysinstall. You cannot run sysinstall from the disk that you intend to install on to. The system will not let you reslice or repartition the active disk/slice. You would need to run it from an install CD or a different disk. So, My suggestion is: (since you have partition magic available) Use Partition Magic to create three primary partitions (Slices in FreeBSD language) Make the first on the size you want to use for MS-win and make it NTFS Make the second a scratch size - maybe 5 GB and make it FAT-32. Make the third the rest of the drive to be used for FreeBSD and make it an unknown type, but still a primary partition. PM will whine about having more than one primary partition, but it will do it and have no problem. Then install MS in the first slice (primary Partition) Install FreeBSD in the third slice ad0s3 or da0s3 (using the install CD) and during the installation, tell it to make the slice bootable. There is a selection letter for that. I think it is 'A', but check on that. I could be remembering wrong. Also, tell it to install the FreeBSD MBR. That selection is on a separate screen. That second FAT-32 slice can then be mounted as MSDOS type when in FreeBSD and be a d: or something like that, drive in MS and then you can use it to transfer files back and forth. You need something like this because although FreeBSD can read NTFS, it still cannot write to NTFS. But, it can handle FAT-32 readwrite just fine. Alternatively, you could just make the slice (primary partition) where where you install MS to be a FAT-32 and skip the second scratch slice. But, I think most people think NTFS is generally better to install on than FAT-32. This and thinking through the initial questions I posed, should help you get going. jerry Thanks. ___ 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]

Re: NFS tuning on FreeBSD
Devin Heckman wrote: [snip] Specifically, I want to know what version of NFS the connection is running over, whether or not it's using TCP or UDP, and other information of that nature. I haven't quite found a utility or file that contains this information yet. That's a good question. Honestly I've never had to look. If I recall your original question properly your server was FreeBSD and your client was Linux. In this case the Linux mount command gives you good information. From FreeBSD the only way that I have found was to embed the options into the fstab file and use the short version of the mount command when attaching the filesystem. For a tcp mount my fstab entry on FreeBSD looks like this: server:/directory /mountpoint nfs rw,tcp,intr,noauto 0 0 On my Ubuntu Linux box I have to do this: server/directory /mountpoint nfs rw,tcp,nfsvers=3,intr,noauto 0 0 To get the same effect. For the FreeBSD NFS client the default is to try NFSv3 first followed by NFSv2. The documentation on my Ubuntu box indicates that it's Linux client defaults to NFSv2 and uses UDP. The behavior that I would expect to see from an Ubuntu Linux NFS client with a FreeBSD NFS server would be a NFSv2 UDP mount. Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer. Perhaps someone on the list knows a better way. -- Chris -- __o All I was doing was trying to get home from work. _`\,_ -Rosa Parks ___(*)/_(*)___ Christopher Sean Hiltonchris | at | vindaloo.com pgp key: D0957A2D/f5 30 0a e1 55 76 9b 1f 47 0b 07 e9 75 0e 14 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When working with NFS make sure that you have the same users/groups with the same user id/group id on all machines. One security measure is implemented though: root user on client is treated as nobody on the server. There is an option you can add to the exports file (forgot which), to override this see the exports manpage. Also if you have a different solution for updating the site..they are welcome.. Unless you have problems with diskspace, why not just use rsync? Do it manually and you get time to correct blunders before they become public, or do it as a cronjob.

enable fetchmail system-wide mode

Also /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc which is suppose to be the config file is empty. Even fetchmailrc.sample is empty. The port pkg-message file is absent so there is no information describing how to configure fetchmail in system-wide mode or individual user mode. These are unique run modes to freebsd and are not covered in the fetchmail manual. The port pkg-message file should be created with instructions about how to configure it. Before in 4.11 through 5.4 I started fetchmail using /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail.sh and /root/,fetchmailrc and had root admin control of fetchmail.

im new with pf
i have a client who has a simple linksys router, with port 22, 25, 80, 443
forwarded to a freebsd server i built for his small business. 25 80 and 443
are obviously public services, but id like to limit access to 22 to the
trusted internal network, and my block of IPs i would be connecting from from
my site. along with regulating port 22, i also need all other ports to work
properly, since samba is installed, and i dont want to mess with picking and
choosing what ports will be in this config. i just need to limit access to
port 22.
does something like this look acceptable if the above is my goal?
[pf.conf]
# definitions
ext_if=fxp0
client=192.168.1.0/24
mynet=[outsideips]/29
table trusted { $client $mynet }
# rules start here
scrub in
block in all
pass quick on lo
antispoof quick for lo
pass in on $ext_if from trusted to ($ext_if) keep state
pass in on $ext_if proto tcp from any to ($ext_if) port { 25 80 443 } keep
state
pass out all keep state
[/pf.conf]
like i said, i need to allow local (and me, trusted) to anything, and anyone
else just access to 25, 80 and 443. thanks for any critiques and ideas.

Please visit: http://www.tug.org/texlive/ TeXLive comes with precompiled FreeBSD binaries, every package is up-to-date, so it contains everything of teTeX and much much more. Installation script is simple and great and will do everything for you. AFAIK TeXLive will appear in ports tree in the future (see freebsd-ports@ archive), but in meantime the original distribution from TUG works flawlessly (I use it daily).

Squid and c-icap - anyone have a clue for me?
I have a new FreeBSD 6.2-Release box that I've cvsup'ed to a current ports tree, and installed c-icap from ports - c-icap-030606_3,1, to be specific. When I try to execute it manually as root, or at boot after I put: c_icap_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf, it dumps core. Does anyone out there work with this? I want to set up squid with clamav, and this looks like the best bet for doing it. I'm open to alternative ways of doing this, however - I'm not set on c-icap. Reading the web pages on squidclam and hvap didn't seem to show them as great alternatives, but would be willing to try either if someone could report success and give a few pointers if asked.

I have no idea why. if i restart it by hand, it seems to stay up until i shut the whole system down. for the sake of trying, i built another system from scratch (minimal freebsd load), mounted my ports via nfs (from the computer thats having problems, actually), and built samba3 from ports for this other computer. copied over the config, smapasswd added myself, and rebooted the computer. the error does not occur. so i figured i would just pkg_delete the samba on the problem computer and rebuild it again from ports... no joy. after i got it built and config'd again, same thing on reboot. the problem computer is a full desktop machine, with xorg 7.2 (unlike my other test machine, which only has minimal install). could there be something underlying from xorg 7.2 thats affecting the way samba starts at boot time, but doesnt affect if it started by hand? after the xorg 7.2 merge, im sure weve all noticed the giant amount of ports cvs traffic, and ive even watched several of my apps go from broken to working again over the past few days, surely due to the changes related to /usr/X11R6 to /usr/local/. /head scratching -- Jonathan Horne http://dfwlpiki.dfwlp.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is there any patch to fix this for 6.2-RELEASE?
sure, update your src tree and rebuild your kernel and world (and install them

I had a similar problem installing the nvidia driver by using the port provided with FreeBSD. I used to get a message similar to yours. What kind of nvidia card is in your system ? First of all, delete the packate installed by port. nvidia provides most of old cards support through the legacy driver, and you have to download the appropriate one by getting it on the nvidia site. type $ pciconf -lv to get the exact name of your card. So get to http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html and search your legacy package between those listed, for example http://www.nvidia.com/object/freebsd_1.0-9639.html at the end of each package page you can find the list of nvidia hardware supported by that package, for example http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html If your card name is in that list, you have found the right package. Download, untar, make install and nvdia-xconfig. On my system everything worked fine this way, glxgears run pretty fast.

profiling gives me non-distinct result on I/O bound programs. It is

Wall clock time doesn't generally tell you anything reliably
useful on a multi-tasking system as it's very dependent on other
system activity. I had many fights back in the mid '70s with
people in accounting who wanted to bill wall-clock time on
Burroughs main frames which generally had 20 programs in the mix
at any time (I guess they were accustomed to IBM 360s that
couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time :-).
If I had to measure wall-clock time for proceses, I would
probably write a simple wrapper script to execute the command
getting the system time before and after running the command I
wanted to time:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os, time
tstart = time.time()
os.system('some command')
tend = time.time()
et = tstart - tend
print et

printing a very long-line files with openoffice using letter pages
People, I have in mind putting, say 6, 8.5x11-inch pages to create a Large page 25.5x11 on which something would be printed. Whatever would be printed in a large typescript could be glued on cardboard or some other solid background. I'm thinking of one of my personal meditations or a Shakespearian sonnet or the Gettysburg address. I need to know if openoffice has the printer settings to do this. Whenever I try to write something in a large font on a letter sized page, the lines wrap; this is not what I want! If OpenOffice isn't the right application, is there any other?
