Re: DJ500 dead after = 16 years.
Guys, I need some input about what kind of _new_ printer to buy for my desktops. I'd like to hang the printer off my FBSD box; my Ubuntu platform is probably too far away. At least 3 meters. A few months ago I got a Samsung ML-2571N for well under $100 at Fry's. It is small, light, fast; has a built-in 10/100 network port, handles PostScript, and speaks native lpr What is lpr? see man lpr and its see also entries. Usually printers speak Post Script or PCL printer command language As I said, this one speaks PostScript. in which case you need a driver. Not in this case :) LPD, LPRng, and CUPS are different spooling systems. Did you attach the printer to a computer or is acting as a free standing printer server. It is freestanding. There is a lpr driver by Brother for Linux. Brother and Canon have binary blob drivers. Did you use that driver may be? I didn't install any drivers, just added it to printcap and hosts: lp|Samsung ML-2571N PostScript network printer:\ :sh:\ :rm=ml2571n:sd=/var/spool/output/ml2571n:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs: 192.168.200.201 ml2571n and it Just Works (TM). I suppose apps like OpenOffice might need to be told it is a PostScript printer. If I needed to do that, and didn't have anything more specific handy, I would just configure it as a LaserWriter NTX. I have yet to find a monochrome PostScript printer for which that does not work well enough. Does anyone know if those binary blobs can be useful for anything on FreeBSD. They appear to be wrappers for standard Ghost Script drivers. I noticed also that some drivers for older Brother printers are removed from Ghost Script 7.0 and 8.0. AFAIK GS is only needed if you want to print PostScript files on a printer that does not contain a PostScript interpreter. It's not needed when dealing with a PostScript printer. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mount_msdosfs options with mp3 player
Hello, I've got a Zen Stone mp3 player that i plugged in to my freebsd 6.2 machine. It was detected fine as da0 and i mounted it with: mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt I'm wanting to make modifications, add/remove files and directories under fbsd, as opposed to windows. My question is with this mp3 player or a player in general with the msdosfs filesystem is there any special mount options i have to pass and failing to do so will corrupt the unit? I'd also like this player to always show up as da0 no matter which port i plug it in to. Thanks.

Re: GELI encryption and HDD critical temperature
On Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 11:41:18AM +0300, s.g. wrote: According to smartctl -a, the temperature of the encrypted drives is ~59C. The temperature of the unencrypted drive is, however, ~41C, according to the same smartctl -a. The CPU has to work extra hard to encrypt/decrypt, and it is possible that the extra heat this generates is absorbed by the HDDs. But since the only drive that's overheating is the encrypted one, it seems to be something else. Am I right assuming GELI encryption is the reason for such a global warming? I don't know. But I've noticed that when drives access GBDE-encrypted partitions (I didn't try with GELI yet), they are much louder (head seeking). It seems they seek more often on encrypted than non-encrypted partitions. Perhaps caching is turned off at some point up the chain? If that's the case, it is no wonder that encrypted partitions tend to result in higher drive temps (and faster drive wear). Is there a way to measure the number of head seeks in near real-time to confirm or disprove this?

A package is a piece of software (which is the equivalent of a port), whereas an ebuild is an install script for a specific version of a package. Normally, there's more than one version of a package (more than one ebuild) available for a package, which makes the ebuild count higher than the FreeBSD ports count, but the package count lower (somewhere above 12000). This doesn't count slotted ebuilds: for example, Gentoo has just one gtk package, which contains several ebuilds for slot 12 which is gtk-1.2.x and several ebuilds for slot 20, which is gtk-2.x (different slots are treated as different packages by the system internally), whereas FreeBSD has a gtk12 and a gtk20 port, which installs the respective versions. So, basically whatever numbers you take, they can't be compared directly anyway, but I guess that the number of ports is still higher than the Gentoo amortized package count would be. -- Heiko Wundram Product Application Development ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I recently recomplied the apache20 port (updated) with no compile-time changes. Since that time, I noticed it was hogging 98% of the CPU and hanging.

ionCube PHP Encoder / Loader on FreeBSD 6 / 7
Hello, I'm having problems getting ionCube's PHP loader working on either 6.3-RELEASE or 7.0-RC2 (both i386). I've followed the install instructions, edited php.ini, installed compat5x and compat6x libraries, but just cannot get the loader to work. Both boxes are running PHP 5.2.5. Have googled and read the ioncube forums. I must be missing something obvious.

Is your wireless network a non-authentication one, if it is wpa, wep, you may want to try follow the handbook[1].

Does the status change to associate? If yes, you can try: #dhclient ndis0 to get the ip from DHCP.

It is small, light, fast; has a built-in 10/100 network port, handles PostScript, and speaks native lpr (so you don't need to bother with CUPS). I am still on the original 1000-page starter cartridge. Replacements are rated 3000 sheets; I haven't priced them. That's black only.

IIRC the color cartridges are rated 1900 sheets and the black 2500. This one is also supposed to handle lpr natively. While I haven't got one (yet), I figure it is almost guaranteed to be good -- Xerox do not make junk. Great; another printer heard about.SO far the Brother at = $200 with 7000 pages at a $30 cartridge sounds better.I've done mostly the academic, plain bw over the years. Hm, well, then I have had some papers returned with feedback marked in blue in OOo. There is a fancy Brother color printer [on sale] at Costco for like $700. (!) After my heart was shocked back to life, I double-checked. I can't imagine what it does for 700 clams, but don't have room for it here anyway. Can you use any paper with the laser printers, or does it have to meet a certain spec? I heard a severe warning about using junk paper.

Hi Paul I just spent about a week solving that very same issue. The thing is that in order for the usb mouse and keyboard to work during the initial boot sequence, ps/2 style devices are needed, so your bios is probably configured for simulating ps/2 (legacy) devices on usb. Keep it that way! As the kernel boots, usb devices are suddenly supported, but present ps/2 devices (even the simulated legacy ones) will hide the usb devices from the kernel, so in order to get access to these the following lines must be added to /boot/device.hints: hint.atkbd.0.disable=1 hint.atkbdc.0.disable=1 I understand that only one of them is needed, but I have no idea which one. It supposedly differs from machine to machine. The last crucial point (and the one I really fought with) is the fact that not all usb ports are created equal! If the above doesn't work, try switching usb ports. It seems some usb ports/hubs are preferred over others. On my machine the two front ports work, but the six ports on the rear of the machine don't :o( At least it works now, and I no longer need to have two keyboards attached. br - N :o) I found a post in stable describing the exact same issue. The OP solved it by connecting a hub to a port on the back of the machine and then connecting the keyboard and mouse to the hub. So, I plugged in one of my monitors and then connected the keyboard and mouse to the monitor, and they work fine. I joined the stable list so I can report this and possibly help troubleshoot it. -- Paul Schmehl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL
Re: Mounting FS read-only for specific user (or root)
Erik Norgaard escribió: Andrew Bradford wrote: I'm trying to set up a mounted filesystem that is read-write for root, but read-only for anyone else. It will be mounted as a backup directory, so files listed in that directory will be owned by current users on the system but can't be writeable, regardless of the file permissions. hd2 mounted rw in /root/backup-rw hd2 mounted ro in /backups Is this possible? Have you tried? ;) Yes, and it seems to almost work (but not quite). I can set the mount point to have 700 permissions, which excludes everyone from accessing the mounted filesystem but root. If I then mount it again using nullfs, it inherits the permissions of the original mountpoint, and is unreadable by everyone. I assume the reasoning for this is you want to preserve permissions and attributes on your backup, so you can't solve this simply by setting permissions appropriately. Yes, exactly. Users need to be able to see their own backups, and nobody else's. But then, do users need frequent access to their backup? Then you could simply mount it on a mount point which only has root access. It would be preferable to not require root access to restore backups. Looks like nullfs isn't the answer. How hard would it be to write a nullfs-clone that allowed different permissions on the destination mount point than the source mount point?

It seems they seek more often on encrypted than non-encrypted partitions. Perhaps caching is turned off at some point up the chain? If that's the case, it is no wonder that encrypted partitions tend to result in higher drive temps (and faster drive wear). It was explained by another poster, I don't remember when or by whom, that GBDE writes sectors to disk in a pseudorandom fashion to make cryptanalysis more difficult. This would explain the seeking/noise on a GBDE disk. A question I have which is related to all of this: Does GELI write sectors in this pseudorandom fashion as well? And, if so is there a way to turn this off so that things are written contiguously? This could be useful for those wishing to encrypt things for most normal threats, such as your teenage neighbour breaking into your house and stealing your bitchin computer, while minimising the performance hit of pseudorandom sector writes.

Re: command df just hangs - answered
As it turns out, my windows box was already mounted. Since my windows firewall was turned on - df was hanging probably because it was trying to read info on the windows drive mounted, but couldn't. Disabling the win firewall fixed the problem - now I have to open up a port in that firewall before re-enabling it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Paul I just spent about a week solving that very same issue. The thing is that in order for the usb mouse and keyboard to work during the initial boot sequence, ps/2 style devices are needed, so your bios is probably configured for simulating ps/2 (legacy) devices on usb. Keep it that way! As the kernel boots, usb devices are suddenly supported, but present ps/2 devices (even the simulated legacy ones) will hide the usb devices from the kernel, so in order to get access to these the following lines must be added to /boot/device.hints: hint.atkbd.0.disable=1 hint.atkbdc.0.disable=1 I understand that only one of them is needed, but I have no idea which one. It supposedly differs from machine to machine. The last crucial point (and the one I really fought with) is the fact that not all usb ports are created equal! If the above doesn't work, try switching usb ports. It seems some usb ports/hubs are preferred over others. On my machine the two front ports work, but the six ports on the rear of the machine don't :o( At least it works now, and I no longer need to have two keyboards attached. br - N :o) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Other then diskspace and clutter, there is no reason to remove older versions as they are properly separated by the ports.

Looking back at it, I'm surprised I didn't mention that. Gentoo has over 24 thousand ebuilds, where an ebuild is their equivalent of a port: Err, don't confuse ebuilds with packages. A package is a piece of software (which is the equivalent of a port), whereas an ebuild is an install script for a specific version of a package. Normally, there's more than one version of a package (more than one ebuild) available for a package, which makes the ebuild count higher than the FreeBSD ports count, but the package count lower (somewhere above 12000). This doesn't count slotted ebuilds: for example, Gentoo has just one gtk package, which contains several ebuilds for slot 12 which is gtk-1.2.x and several ebuilds for slot 20, which is gtk-2.x (different slots are treated as different packages by the system internally), whereas FreeBSD has a gtk12 and a gtk20 port, which installs the respective versions. So, basically whatever numbers you take, they can't be compared directly anyway, but I guess that the number of ports is still higher than the Gentoo amortized package count would be. And also be aware that many utilities included in the FreeBSD base system are ebuilds in the Gentoo world. tcpdump and top are just two examples I can think of off the top of my head.

Re: FreeBSD Linux distro
As a Sysadmin I have 2 cents to add to this discussion. I think the whole chest beating, king of the hill, stand taking, mantra repeating is juvenile. There is no superior OS. As I do my job I don't start out figuring how I can slide my favorite distro into the equation. The OS is not at the center of decision making. What we want to get done is at the center. The beginning point is typically the application or service, and sometimes the application and service combined with the given hardware. Given these requirements, then we find an OS which supports them. As far as stability is concerned, I can't remember the last time something konked out on me because of a kernel bug.

The beginning point is typically the application or service, and sometimes the application and service combined with the given hardware. Given these requirements, then we find an OS which supports them. As far as stability is concerned, I can't remember the last time something konked out on me because of a kernel bug.

Sorry for the noise. However, you can still do it with normal permissions, if the users can't see the real directory. So I guess the solution would be to either jail it and mount it ro with nullfs into the jail and root would use the host system, or if it's on a different machine to nfs mount it ro and root would use the nfs host machine.

POP3 recommendations...
I've not run a POP3 server before, but now I'm getting tired of confusing myself pulling my email down from my ISP across my laptop, desktop, and home server. Could someone recommend a solution for me? The situation is that I have a home server (running NFS, Samba, FTP, Apache, Mysql), plus a desktop and laptop (which generally gets used just around the house). The desktop and laptop both run fetchmail to collect my email from my ISP - but obviously this means some of my email ends up on the laptop, and some on the desktop. I'm after something like using fetchmail on the server to collect the mail, then probably sort it with procmail before making it available to my home network. The aim is for the mail to remain on the home server - Ie. In one central location on my network. Any recommendations for a POP3 server that would fit into a home network and make this easy to understand for the newbie? Thanks for your help.

It you are going to install from CD, then you can download the ISO[s] using anonymous ftp from ftp.freebsd.org You will need to fish around (cd) in their directories a bit to find the ISOs, but what you want is disc1 for version 6.3. Download it to a machine with a CD burner. Then burn the image as it is. Don't try to convert it to an ISO. It is already an ISO. If you do not have network access, then you will need to download the first two CD ISOs and use them. Plug in the CD and boot it and the adventure begins. If you must boot from floppies, then download the two floppy images and write them to formatted floppies as per the handbook instructions. Boot them and go from there.

So I disabled acpi and enabled apm. Woohoo! The screen shutdowns as predicted. BUT, the wpi driver won't work anymore! I guess that it somehow depends on acpi. Do you guys have seen anything alike?

Re: security of a new installation / steps to take
Hi, To all the things that follow (sorry about top reply) I'd add a clever configuration of tcpwrapper (/etc/hosts.allow) whenever it is possible: allows to open a service to a list of given clients only. It is just another layer of security. Olivier So far I have had FreeBSD systems only in office so I used my hardware firewall (Dlink DFL 700) to block access to services on ports 22, etc. Now, at the ISP I won't be able to do this so I will need to be a lot more careful about security issues. I am planning to make a list of steps I need to take to configure the OS to my liking and install applications I need. However, I would really, really love to have some advice from you re the basic steps. The important mantra to remember when securing a machine that is exposed to the internet is: What does not listen on the network cannot be used to compromise you. In practice, this means run sockstat and look for all the processes that are listening for connections on your external network interfaces. If you don't need it, then don't run it. If you don't need external access to it, then bind it to the loopback interface[1] or use it via a Unix domain socket (eg. 'skip-networking' in MySQL configuration) If you do need it, then strongly prefer encrypted versions of network protocols: IMAPS rather than IMAP, HTTPS instead of HTTP. This is particularly important if people are using password based authentication - -- otherwise you'ld be transmitting those passwords over the net in plain, where they are vulnerable to snooping. Ensure that any software that does listen on the network runs as an unprivileged UID. Ensure that the login accounts used for such daemons do not have real shells (/usr/sbin/nologin is a good choice) and preferably either have a non-existent home directory, or a home directory that the process does not own and cannot write to. The current working directory of the process (frequently /, but you can use 'fstat -p pid' and look for the 'wd' entry to find this) should similarly be unwritable by the process. If the process can run chrooted or jailed then it's a good idea to make it so. Be very wary of many web based applications, particularly those written in PHP. Sad to say, but many web developers just don't have a clue about security and commit some enormous howlers. They also love writing web- accessible configuration scripts, which you should take care to disable by changing filesystem permissions once you've done the configuring parts and also block or severely restrict access to by your webserver configuration. If anyone proposes running any PHP code that requires you to set 'register_globals' to 'on' in php.ini; well, suffice it to say, no sensible jury would convict should that person come to an ... unfortunate ... end. Make sure you track [EMAIL PROTECTED] and apply any system patches in a timely manner. Also make full use of portaudit(1) and generally ensure that you are running up to date versions of any ported software. If you can do all the above effectively, then your machine should be pretty secure as is, even without running any severe filtering through the built in firewalls. Cheers, Matthew [1] People that understand the implications of the weak routing model as commonly seen in Unix servers (and certainly those that cannot control access to the same layer-2 network their server is on) will want to protect the loopback against spoofing attacks.

Could someone recommend a solution for me? The situation is that I have a home server (running NFS, Samba, FTP, Apache, Mysql), plus a desktop and laptop (which generally gets used just around the house). The desktop and laptop both run fetchmail to collect my email from my ISP - but obviously this means some of my email ends up on the laptop, and some on the desktop. IMHO... You don't need to run your own mailserver to solve this. Simply have one of your machines only download the mail. Have the other, download and *remove* the mail from the server. Or possibly, have them both only remove mail that is older than x-days from the server. This will allow you to get the mail onto both machines, assuming you use each machine within the given time. I'm after something like using fetchmail on the server to collect the mail, then probably sort it with procmail before making it available to my home network. The aim is for the mail to remain on the home server - Ie. In one central location on my network. Any recommendations for a POP3 server that would fit into a home network and make this easy to understand for the newbie? If you must use one... I'm not sure it gets any easier than qpopper.
