ipv6 confusion
I want to set my machine up to be on both IPv4 and IPv6. I have read the stuff on 6over4 and such and still a little confused on a few things: 1. The machine I want to do the tunneling on is behind a NAT'ed firewall how do I reliabelly obtain the external IP of the firewall (dhcp assigned from cable company)? 2. If the machine I want to do the tunneling with is the DMZ host for the above FW do I need to add anything special to the FW's routing tables? 3. I am a little confused on how to pick the other end of the tunnel and how do I configure it once the first 2 items are solved?... The confusion comes from how is an arbitary (by me [with in the restrictions in stf(4)]) selected IPv6 IP supposed to be routable when IPv4 forces me to use the one assigned to me by my upstream router? -- Aryeh M.

On Monday 05 November 2007 02:10:12 Juri Mianovich wrote: Is there a way to tell ipfw: all interfaces currently configured on this system ? That's not possible directly, I think. I have a laptop and at any time I could plug in a USB NIC or plug in a pccard, in addition to the onboard LAN and WIFI, either of which may or may not be configured at boot time. Being configured or not isn't a problem for ipfw. The interface is just a string and can be anything regardless of validity, such as rl0, fxp0, blah etc. Asterisks can be also used to denote a shell-like interface-name matching e.g. rl* So the point is, the active, configured interfaces changes regularly. So if I have a rule like: allow ip from any to any via iwi0 that won't work well, and neither will: allow ip from any to any via iwi0,abc0 I am not sure you have understood correctly the via keyword. Read the ipfw manual. Not all packets have receive or transmit interfaces so that might a problem you haven't considered. Is via what you want? So is there any way to say all interfaces currently configured and have that rule apply to new interfaces automatically as they are added and subtracted from the system ? You can use me which is an alias for my IP addresses. allow ip from any to me allow ip from me to any This ruleset effectivelly allows all trafic from you to the world and from the world to you. Ofcourse there is not interface checking.

portupgrade questions
Hi Gang, A total noob here with FreeBSD, but am liking it so far. I went to run portupgrade for the first time and encountered quite a few problems. I have googled around and found some of my answers, but it's been slow going. For example: cairo# portupgrade -aF cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/devel/gnu-autoconf ** Package 'gnu-autoconf' has been removed from ports tree. So one possibility I read to fix something like this is to uninstall and resintall it. This yields the following result: cairo# pkg_info | grep gnu-autoconf gnu-autoconf-2.59 Automatically configure source code on many Un*x platforms cairo# pkg_deinstall gnu-autoconf-2.59 --- Deinstalling 'gnu-autoconf-2.59' pkg_delete: package 'gnu-autoconf-2.59' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: gnu-automake-1.9.6 kde-3.5.4 kdevelop-3.3.4 ** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed) ! gnu-autoconf-2.59 (pkg_delete failed) --- Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed So how do I fix this? Is there a HOW-TO or tutorial on a webpage out there that will help me learn how to fix these things? The handbook makes no mention of how to resolve these issues... unless I missed something?

The -f option to pkg_delete/pkg_deinstall will force it to do the action, even if there are dependencies. Sometimes it's the only way. There's also the -o option to portupgrade. As for a tutorial: first, check UPDATING. Then the command man page. If necessary, a web search. I can't remember what I did for this particular upgrade, but do remember deleting some of the older autoconf ports manually. I suspect you could delete all of them (and maybe some or all of the automake ports) and then just deinstall and install autotools. (Like pkg_delete -f, make deinstall in a port will ignore dependencies and just go ahead.) After you do all that, you'll probably need to run pkgdb -F to fix or at least check dependencies. -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]

Re: tar Ignoring out-of-order file What Does that Mean?
Jonathan McKeown writes: [that was me - I'm glad I was of some help] Most definitely. You've been a tremendous help but I am still stuck and I believe all issues are known except this one. I should know when the unpacking/packing part is working by unpacking the FreeBSD iso image and then repacking it without doing anything at all. This should give me an iso image that is the same size as the good one and probably a byte-for-byte copy of the original. I did as you suggested and here is what happened. First, I created a directory called image and cd'd there. $ ls It's empty as it should be. $ ln -s usr/src/sys sys $ ls -l total 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 martin martin 11 Nov 5 07:44 sys - usr/src/sys Now, it is time to unpack the iso image. $ tar xf ~/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso tar: Ignoring out-of-order file Darn! Well, Let's see how big an ISO image file it makes anyway. $ mkisofs -l -R -q . ~/tmp/testfile.iso $ ls -l ~/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso ../tmp/testfile.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 martin martin 598476800 Nov 5 07:48 ../tmp/testfile.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 martin martin 601229312 Sep 21 08:57 /home/martin/6.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso The original iso image is 2,752512 bytes larger. I bet it's the files that tar doesn't seem to be happy about. Once this hurdle is finally jumped, the rest should be quite normal. If you mount the image on a Linux system and use tar or mkisofs, you get a file that is almost twice the proper size so I think there may be some links that end up as multiple versions of the same files when they should have been symlinks or something else. The image made with FreeBSD's mkisofs and tar utilities is the archive that is 2.5 megs short. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You would also have to deal with the name server issues to get the web stuff (ports 80 and 443) directed to your single IP. If you do the name service, that is easy.

Re: portupgrade questions
The thing you should be doing first is checking /usr/ports/UPDATING. Major things can change, and portupgrade may not be able to handle them without help. Ah, i c. I am starting to make sense out of some of this from my fighting around on this. The -f option to pkg_delete/pkg_deinstall will force it to do the action, even if there are dependencies. Sometimes it's the only way. There's also the -o option to portupgrade. As for a tutorial: first, check UPDATING. Then the command man page. If necessary, a web search. I have done some web searching, but haven't found anything that has everything in one place (including the Handbook). Once I emerge from all of this, I might take a stab at writing up something for N00bs to help them learn some of the things that I have figured out the hard way I can't remember what I did for this particular upgrade, but do remember deleting some of the older autoconf ports manually. I suspect you could delete all of them (and maybe some or all of the automake ports) and then just deinstall and install autotools. (Like pkg_delete -f, make deinstall in a port will ignore dependencies and just go ahead.) After you do all that, you'll probably need to run pkgdb -F to fix or at least check dependencies.

Re: nspluginwrapper + linux-flashplugin7 broken?
Written by Richard (Rick) Seay on 11/04/07 10:02 After upgrading to xorg-7.3_1, linux-flashplugin-7.0r70 and nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5 stopped working. I get a blank area on the screen where the flash content should be, and the following error messages: The program 'npviewer.bin' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 84 error_code 8 request_code 147 minor_code 3) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior.

Re: Rebuilding kernel/system to a state back-in-time?
Quoting Erik Cederstrand [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Should be tag=RELENG_6_2 ... That should suffice. This assumes you're already running 6.2. As long as you don't switch branches (or choose a date before the branch occurred!), you should be good to go. Erik i would agree with erik's advice, as IMO its quite sound (when it comes to operating a server as opposed to a desktop). however, i would add this detail so that there can be some what and why to go with it: RELENG_6_2 will take you to 6.2-RELEASE-p8. it *will* be back in time, but it will be only 'critical' patches since the intial 6.2-RELEASE. IMO, (and forgive me, i generally dont spew my opinions where they arent welcome or asked for), RELENG_6_2 is better for a server over RELENG_6 (aka, -STABLE), as it doesnt include items that are not critically required for secure and stable operation. remember, that the true -STABLE branch has items merged in from -CURRENT (call it back-ported?). let say, you already know that -p8 is the latest 6.2 revision. you get on a server, you log in, and it says 6.2-RELEASE-p8. you already know that this system is up to date. if you log in, and see 6.2-STABLE... you dont immediately know when this system was last rebuilt without doing some other version checks first. i have to be honest, when it comes to managing a farm full of servers, i like my visual version checks... the same way i like my women: easy. cheers, -- Jonathan Horne DFWLP Network Consulting Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dfwlp.com 214.287.4373 - mobile This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: ipv6 confusion
On 11/5/07, Aryeh M. Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want to set my machine up to be on both IPv4 and IPv6. I have read the stuff on 6over4 and such and still a little confused on a few things: 1. The machine I want to do the tunneling on is behind a NAT'ed firewall how do I reliabelly obtain the external IP of the firewall (dhcp assigned from cable company)? Probably the easiest method is to go to a web site that tells you what IP you are coming from, e.g. http://www.go6.net (just below the top banner). Or if you log in to your firewall it will be able to tell you its external IP number. 2. If the machine I want to do the tunneling with is the DMZ host for the above FW do I need to add anything special to the FW's routing tables? 6to4 tunneling uses IP protocol type 41, so you need to tell your FW to permit protocol 41 traffic. TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc. are all different protocol types, so the syntax used to allow TCP traffic might work if you use 41 instead of TCP. You may also need a way to tell your firewall to route all protocol 41 traffic to your IPv6 gateway system so it can receive all of your incoming IPv6 traffic. 3. I am a little confused on how to pick the other end of the tunnel and how do I configure it once the first 2 items are solved?... The confusion comes from how is an arbitary (by me [with in the restrictions in stf(4)]) selected IPv6 IP supposed to be routable when IPv4 forces me to use the one assigned to me by my upstream router? Pick the tunnel with the least delay! The other restrictions only mean that if you have more than one IPv6 system on your local network, they must have unique IPv6 addresses. At least, I think that's what they mean. This is the part of IPv6 over IPv4 that I haven't directly experimented with yet, so I can tell you what I think I understand, not what I've proven I understand, but here it is: You will run stf(4) on only one system on your LAN. That system becomes your gateway to the IPv6 world. Other systems on your LAN get other IPv6 addresses, all with the same initial 48 bits (I.E. they all use the same IPv4 address to construct their IPv6 address, but the rest of the address has to be different for each system in your LAN). Outside systems will send traffic for your LAN to the gateway system (the one running stf) and it will forward it accordingly. You will need to tell the stf system that it is supposed to perform that role, which for FreeBSD I think is accomplished by adding rtadvd_enable=YES to /etc/rc.conf. You may (or may not) find it informative to read rtadvd(8). On all the other systems in your LAN, you just need to enable IPv6, and they will talk to rtadvd and configure themselves appropriately. At least, that's my understanding. So far I have not used stf -- instead I have used tunneling via the gw6c client and Freenet6 (i.e. http://www.go6.net). First install the net/gateway6 port. Edit /usr/local/etc/gw6c.conf and change the appropriate parts for an anonymous connection (the comments explain them - in fact that may be the default). Also set gw6c.conf so your system will be a router if you have other IPv6 systems on your LAN. Then run gw6c and it will set up the tunnel, and run rtadvd for you if appropriate. That should be all you have to do. Again, this is needed only on your gateway system, so all the other systems on your network need only have IPv6 enabled. It should also be obvious that both of these methods completely bypass your existing IPv4 firewall, so every system on your LAN will have unfirewalled exposure to the Internet, unless you run an IPv6 firewall as well. One advantage of using gw6c is that it can build a tunnel over protocol 41, over TCP, or over UDP. So if your firewall prevents you from getting a 6to4/stf tunnel working, try gw6c. I also found it easier to set up than figuring out what I needed to make stf work, but I'm about to set up an stf system so I can directly compare the two. If you like the gw6c method, go to http://www.go6.net and register for a free account. Then edit gw6c.conf with your account info and other appropriate changes, and restart it. You will be issued a permanent IPv6 address tied to your account, so that if your external IPv4 address changes your IPv6 addresses do not change. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is slapd running? Can you ldapsearch -Lx -h localhost? What's /var/log/debug.log telling you? Can you id(1) some ldap users? Does the output of 'getent group' and 'getent passwd' look reasonable? Too many switches switched at the same time, so I guess I messed up things and couldn't get a clear sight anymore. The point is, without any TLS the user authetication works fine for SSHD/LOGIN and SU, even password changes via a patched 'passwd' works fine, but when trying using TLS/OpenSSL everything gets messed up again, I'll report this at the end. The main reason for blocking access was the ACL misbehaviour. I took the example slapd.conf and especially the line describing access to everything access to * ... The line 'by anonymous auth' needs to be changed into 'by anonymous read' otherwise LDAP won't let you even access for authetication. I found this by watching exhaustive logs ... One point: what is about compile time options of OpenLDAP? Does LDAP forces itself using SSL although not configured explicitely in slapd.conf? No. It is purely optional. You would need certificates before it can even possibly start working anyways. Yes, but OpenLDAP openldap-server-2.3.38 seems to reject connections via TLS when used with self-signed certificacates. nss_ldap-1.257 === openldap-client-2.3.38 openldap-server-2.3.38 pam_ldap-1.8.2 My other computer is running with nss_ldap-1.257 and showing no problems either. Cheers, Ulrich Spoerlein Well, thanks a lot for helping. At this moment OpenLDAP seems to work with the OpenLDAP-Clients (only) and for authetication via ssh/login.

I need advice on the best way to clone the entire disk (or at least the data) onto a larger ide disk drive, then pull the failing disk and replace it with the clone. What is the best way in FreeBSD to do that? If you can get the new disk physically installed and recognized and running before the old disk completely fails, then it should be no problem. Build the file systems on the new disk as you want them, then use dump/retore to move the data. The dump/restore needs to be done one filesystem at a time. NOTE: For best results, this should all be done in single user mode with no other thing running to avoid changes in files confusing things. It will work in full multi user mode, but you may get some files in indeterminate condition if they happen to change during the copy process. Either use sysinstall (/usr/sbin/sysinstall) to slice and partition the new drive and build file systems on it or do it yourself with fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs. Since you are using a larger drive, think out the sizes you want for the partitions on the new drive. I am guessing from the way you talk here, that the system is not dual booted with some other OS. Given that presumption: (This is right out of the bsdlabel man page, by the way. I just changed numbers and device names to fit the situation) NOTE: The dd-s below are just to make sure the label areas and such are wiped clean in case the manufacturer made some presumptions and wrote something there. They might not really be needed, but won't hurt anything and take just a moment. Create one large slice, marked bootable for FreeBSD: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1 bs=512 count=1024 fdisk -BI da0 Write a basic label and boot record on the slice: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1s1 bs=512 count=1024 bsdlabel -w -B ad1s1 Partition the slice by using the edit function of bsdlabel: bsdlabel -e ad1s1 This will put you in an edit screen with the beginnings of partition information. Ignore anything it might have before the lines that read: # /dev/ad1s1: 8 partitions: # size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] After that you will see a list of partitions. There should only be one 'c' partition listed. Do not change that line, but copy it enough times to have one for each partition you want. Lets say you want root, swap, /tmp, /usr, /var and /home. Then make it something like: # /dev/ad1s1: 8 partitions: # size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 52428804.2BSD2048 16384 32776 b: 2572288* swap c: 783168750unused 0 0# raw part, don't edit d: 1048576*4.2BSD2048 16384 8 e: 4194304*4.2BSD2048 16384 28552 f: 6291456*4.2BSD2048 16384 28552 g:**4.2BSD2048 16384 28552 Then just :wq out of the edit session and your label is nicely written. Using the stars for offset and final size tells bsdlabel to calculate the offsets for you and make the last partition take up all the remaining available space. The first partition should have the offset specified as '0'.The numbers I have here are in 512 byte blocks and give the following sizes.Choose your own according to your needs. a: 256 MBI mount as / b: 1256 MBis swap d: 512 MBI mount as /tmp e: 2048 MBI mount as /usr f: 3072 MBI mount as /var g: Remainder MB I mount as /home Once that is finished, then you need to run new fs on each partition except the one for swap (b). eg. newfs a, d, e, f, g Generally, unless you need extra inodes for a lot of small files or expect only unusually large files, you can just take the defaults for newfs. so: newfs /dev/ad1s1a newfs /dev/ad1s1d newfs /dev/ad1s1e newfs /dev/ad1s1f newfs /dev/ad1s1g Now you need to make mount points for and mount each partition. Something like: mkdir /newroot mount /dev/ad1s1a /newroot mkdir /newusr mount /dev/ad1s1e /newusr mkdir /newvar mount /dev/ad1s1f /newvar mkdir /newhome mount /dev/ad1s1g /newhome You don't usually need to copy /tmp to the new disk, though you can do that if you want as well. Then do the dump/restore-s cd /newroot dump 0af - / | restore -rf - cd /newusr dump 0af - /usr | restore -rf - cd /newvar dump 0af - /var | restore -rf - cd /newhome dump 0af - /home | restore -rf - At the end of each dump it might ask you if you want to set permissions on . just answer no. I don't think it does that with the restore -r, but if it does, then answer no. After all this, you should be able to just physically switch the disks and boot on the new one. jerry Thanks
RE: Problem with Apache22
Yes, it's using prefork. I made no changes from the default install.

Incomplete file listing with Samba on ext2fs
Hi, I've set up a FreeBSD6.2 machine and moved my file server disk from a Linux system where it was used before. The disk uses ext2fs. In FreeBSD I can see all files, when looking at the samba shares from a Windows 2000 system, I do not see all files. I also do not see all files when using smbclient on FreeBSD. A test case went like that: I created 1000 files named file000 ... file0999 in a directory. I could see all of them via Windows. I created 1000 files named file-.file ... file-0999.file in a directory. I could see the first 130 files of them. I added this to my smb.conf, because I found related information on the web and this fixed some problems with incomplete directory listing which I encountered a few days ago: dos charset = CP850 unix charset = UTF-8 display charset = LOCALE When I copy my large list of files to a UFS volume, I can see the full listing via Windows. Apart from switching the ext2s to ufs, does someone has other suggestions for solving the problem? Do you suggest another group for this question?

ip6fw without ipfw?
So is it a bug or a feature that enabling ip6fw (/etc/rc.d/ip6fw start) also enables ipfw (the ipv4 version)? I didn't see it mentioned in IP6FW(8). It sure surprised me when I was exploring IPv6 setup and I enabled ip6fw without configuring the IPv4 rc.firewall. Locked me out of the remote system, because ssh won't let me log in on IPv6 (I'll post that question in another message), and ipfw came up and locked me out via IPv4.

At least on linux. I remember Torvalds ranting about it on a mailing list. I imagine FreeBSD suffers the same issue, though, as it's a pretty generic problem. For starters, you should _never_ dump a live filesystem. What you can do is dump a snapshot of a live filesystem, using dumps '-L' option, because a snapshot is like a frozen image of the filesystem; it doesn't change.

You can use pkg_add fine, but as soon as you start using ports you have to stick with ports. portupgrade -a with a recently updated ports tree will update everything that has an update, and reverting to pkg_add after that could start creating dependency issues.

Hi there, I wrote in response too soon and after uncommenting the LDAP modules I am still running into the same issue. I checkbox the LDAP and AUTHNZ_LDAP options and I specifically set the options to ON in the Makefile.options file by hand and still the same error below occurs. what could be wrong? apache-2.2.6_2 6.2-RELEASE-p6 I am not quite sure what is wrong if I am not building apache correctly or if my /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf file does not have everything configured properly. I might be missing the installation of a module or something in my httpd.conf please help. I am not sure what to try next. Cheers, Noah Table of contents: 1) log error message 2) cat /etc/make.conf 3) LoadModules from /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf 4) cat /usr/ports/www/apache22/Makefile.options here is the log message: [Sun Nov 04 18:26:41 2007] [error] Module mod_ldap missing.

SATA DVD speed's too slow
I currently have an SATA DVD-RW drive for my computer. I have to boot using a CURRENT kernel to get the drive recognized, and dmesg lists it as running at 3.3MB/s. Running mplayer -dumpstream gets around 3 megs a second. Copying off a data dvd gets about the same. But I recall reading about playing a dvd before trying to get the data off of it when using dd, and it seems to work. But the odd part is, it can get up to 20 megabytes a second. Does anyone know how to get the higher speeds all the time? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Roland,
The mention of dump '-L' in your email below has caught my attention.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is the '-L' option?
I looked it up in the man pages but wasn't able to find any mention of it.
Can you point me in the right direction?
It's in dump(8);
-L This option is to notify dump that it is dumping a live file sys-
tem. To obtain a consistent dump image, dump takes a snapshot of
the file system in the .snap directory in the root of the file
system being dumped and then does a dump of the snapshot. The
snapshot is unlinked as soon as the dump starts, and is thus
removed when the dump is complete. This option is ignored for
unmounted or read-only file systems. If the .snap directory does
not exist in the root of the file system being dumped, a warning
will be issued and the dump will revert to the standard behavior.
This problem can be corrected by creating a .snap directory in
the root of the file system to be dumped; its owner should be
``root'', its group should be ``operator'', and its mode should
be ``0770''.
I use dump with the following options (e.g. for /usr);
dump -0 -B 4589560 -C 8 -h 0 -L -u -P \
'cat - usr-0-20071106-vol${DUMP_VOLUME}.dump' /usr
This splits dump output in DVD-R sized chunks.

completely strange
better
-f file1,file2,file3,.
(you may type more files than actually needed).
one unneeded extra pipe avoided.
if you use pipe, use with growisofs.
BUT with DVD+RW disks you may use /dev/cd0 directly as dump device
