Re: /var/named Changes Ownership to Root on Boot
In freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 207, Issue 18, Message: 6 On Fri, 21 Mar 2008 08:54:36 -0500 Martin McCormick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think I fixed it but I am not sure I would have figured it out quickly without the help from the list. It seems that FreeBSD defaults to a chroot of bind with the tree owned by root. You can run bind in a sandbox as the documentation says and have it chroot but if you do, and heres's the confusion, you had better disable FreeBSD's attempt to make sure the /var/named tree is always owned by root which would be fine if named ran as root. I'm sorry, but you seem a tad confused about how named operates in sandbox mode. A thorough study of /etc/rc.d/named might help .. at least, that's how I figured out how the whole chroot setup works. As Chuck Swiger pointed out, quoted below, it's only necessary (and for security, desirable) for the =subdirectories= of /var/named/var to be owned bind:wheel, not /var/named, nor /var/named/etc with the exception of a couple of directories. All this is setup (on each /etc/rc.d/named start) by: mtree -deU -f /etc/mtree/BIND.chroot.dist -p ${named_chrootdir} where /etc/mtree/BIND.chroot.dist is, on my 5.5-STABLE(ish) system: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/mtree/BIND.chroot.dist,v 1.5.2.2 2004/11/11 04:08:16 gshapiro Exp $ [..] /set type=dir uname=root gname=wheel mode=0755 . dev mode=0555 .. etc namedb dynamic uname=bind .. master .. slave uname=bind .. .. .. /set type=dir uname=bind gname=wheel mode=0755 var uname=root dump .. log .. run named .. .. stats .. .. .. When you run it in a sandbox with a lower-priority UID, you must make sure that at least one more little line appears in rc.conf.local. named_chrootdir= # Chroot directory (or not to auto-chroot it) No, that STOPS named running in a chroot sandbox. Which is fine if you want to run it the old (considered insecure) way; is that what you want? That's the key right there. If you use lines from rc.conf.local from an older system such as pre-FreeBSD5, you don't need that line and things work fine. If you don't have it on a FreeBSD5 or newer system, /etc/defaults/rc.conf supplies the default version of that line which reads: named_chrootdir=/var/named # Chroot directory (or not to auto-chroot it) That's right, and what you need to run it in the sandbox. and one is seriously messed up from there on during the booting process. how 'messed up'? That's how it's supposed to work. You're supposed to do bind configuration (/var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf etc) as root. Ah, you might still have /etc/namedb as a directory, rather than a symlink, if you'd done a source upgrade from 4.X to 5 or later? If so, (save and) delete it and let /etc/rc.d/named make the symlink for you, then move your config to /var/named/etc/namedb I was confused and thought this would all help me keep ownership of /var/named belonging to bind when, in fact, it does just the opposite. The whole point of the sandbox is to keep named, running as user bind, from messing with anything out of its chroot environment if it were to be compromised. The actual chroot is performed in run_rc_command() in /etc/rc.subr if you want to see the gorier details. Martin McCormick WB5AGZ Stillwater, OK Systems Engineer OSU Information Technology Department Network Operations Group Chuck Swiger writes: /var/named is owned by root on all of my newer (5.x and later) systems; I found an old 4.11 box with it owned by bind, though. If you're using named chroot'ed (as recommended), it will want /var/named/ var/{dump/log/run/stats} writable by bind. Yep, which is exactly what the mtree above does for you, every startup, plus the dynamic and slave directories in (chrooted) /etc/namedb The only problem I've struck with the chroot setup is a permission error when trying to get debug (named.run) logging going, as named by default wants to create the named.run file in the default directory (/etc/namedb - /var/named/etc/namedb) which is of course owned by root, but I'm sure I just need to spend a bit more time with the reference manual: http://127.0.0.1/bind9ref/Bv9ARM.html (where /usr/local/www/data/bind9ref - /usr/local/share/doc/bind9/arm/) to find out how to get this log made in /var/log ie /var/named/var/log - but I'll wait till I've upgraded to 6.3 before trying that again. cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Anyone have Comcast for an ISP?
Does anyone on here have comcast for an ISP? I use them and today I was messing around on a machine I use for FTP service over my LAN (Not accessible from the net so I'm not worried about using it for back ups) and anyway, I wanted to set up one of my comcast accounts on it so I could do as I've done for years, and use SSH to log into that machine and use fetchmail to grab my email off comcast, and then use Mutt to check it since I really like Mutt. Well, I got sendmail up ad tested that ti was working and it was working fine. After that I tried sending a test email with Mutt. For some reason ti failed even though it was the backed up copy of my Muttrc that I used to use on EVERY machine I used mutt on. I always backed it up because I had it looking really nice with colors and also my email address was in there and I built in a mini addy book for my friends and mailing lists I'm on so I didn't have to worry about an address book being deleted by accident. Well, it failed horribly. I can't send an email because it's blocked, and also, using fetchmail isn't exactly working either and I can't stand how getmailrc works So does anyone here use Comcast and Mutt for an email client that could maybe reply and let me know how they do it? Id' like to use Mutt and also I do like how simple fetchmail is to use, so fi you use these and have Comcast for internet please reply with how you did it.

Comcast's residential TOS prohibits servers and they enforce this by blocking incoming traffic going to SMTP, IMAP and POP3 ports. Now, I do know that cable and DSL modems are quite different but I am able to log into my Qwest DSL modem and open the port 25, port 80 or any other port for that matter. I live in Arizona so Qwest and Comcast are more or less only two choices for the residential ISP. I had Sandmail server running for about a week but as I do not have static IP address, Domain Name, MX record and Reverse DNS there was no point keeping it as the mail would bounce from most mail servers. Getting static IP address is no big deal as well as Domain Name and setting up MX record but I think Qwest does not provide reverse DNS to residential accounts. They charge $26.95 + $6 (7Mps) for static IP for residential accounts. Essentially the equivalent business account is about $90 and they do provide reverse DNS as well. I think one has to sign some kind liability agreement for business account in the case your mail server becomes spam zombie. In reality you really have to run ClamAv and SpamAssassin beside Sendmail which was really overkill just for my wife and me (my daughters are too small for email accounts). I use IMAP and SMTP (Thunderbird client) ro recover mail from my University mail box. Qwest people were also nice to me after they realized that I do not care much for their Windows live and Hotmail account and offer me free of charge 5 email accounts on their mail server. I think that the Comcast is doing something similar so you could use Mutt, Pine, or whatever email client you like to recover mail from your mail box on Comcast email server. I would not be surprised that they also run FreeBSD.

Question on kernel compiling and hyper threading
I'n on a system with the CPU specs you see below. I'm planning to update the system to 7.0 and want to ask about the enabeling or disablening of hyper threading in BIOS. What I've seen on my current system is that when I enable hyper threading my cpu-graph only shows up to 50% in gkrelm and xfce's cpu graph. Should I compile the kernel with special parameters or is it just the inability of gkrelm and xfce's cpu graph to detect hyper threading I'm seeing? - WARNING: MPSAFE network stack disabled, expect reduced performance. acpi_alloc_wakeup_handler: can't alloc wake memory ACPI APIC Table: A M I OEMAPIC Timecounter i8254 frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz (3412.10-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = GenuineIntel Id = 0xf34 Stepping = 4 Features=0xbfebfbffFPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,C MOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE Features2=0x441dSSE3,RSVD2,MON,DS_CPL,CNTX-ID,b14 Logical CPUs per core: 2 real memory = 1073414144 (1023 MB) avail memory = 1028616192 (980 MB) FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 1 ioapic0 Version 2.0 irqs 0-23 on motherboard Thanks /Leslie ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Undetected SiI 3112 PCI SATA Controller card - resolved
Thanks for the pointers. I'll pull the machine out again and do some hardware troubleshooting on it. If all else fails, I'll try altering ata-pci.h. Due to the crappy motherboard design, and existing add-on cards, this card is sharing an interrupt with the Promise Ultra/100 controller, which FreeBSD is detecting fine (there's nothing plugged into it). Could that possibly be related to this? Nevermind, all fixed. Pulled the card, aired the slot, put card back, works like a charm. I guess one pin wasn't connecting properly?

uninstall all of Gnome with expections
Hi folks, lately I've been thinking about removing all of Gnome, which has served as my primary desktop for years.

(That being said, there do exist cards and drivers that do not handle shared interrupts very well, but that is very much the exception rather than the rule.)

I always backed it up because I had it looking really nice with colors and also my email address was in there and I built in a mini addy book for my friends and mailing lists I'm on so I didn't have to worry about an address book being deleted by accident. Well, it failed horribly. I can't send an email because it's blocked, and also, using fetchmail isn't exactly working either and I can't stand how getmailrc works So does anyone here use Comcast and Mutt for an email client that could maybe reply and let me know how they do it? Id' like to use Mutt and also I do like how simple fetchmail is to use, so fi you use these and have Comcast for internet please reply with how you did it. I'm googling right now but everything I find isn't exactly helpful, so if anyone here uses Mutt and has Comcast please let me know how you did it. What you have available in the e-mail realm when you are on the Comcast network: For e-mail CLIENTS you may retrieve mail via the standard IMAP or POP3 ports from a remote non-comcast mailserver. For e-mail CLIENTS you may send mail through a remote non-comcast mailserver using the submission port 587 and authenticated SMTP. For e-mail SERVERS you can use fetchmail to pretend the server is a mail client, then redistribute the mail internally. However you cannot use sendmail to send out outgoing mail to port 25 on remote mailservers - unless it's to the comcast mailserver. Comcast's residential TOS prohibits servers and they enforce this by blocking incoming traffic going to SMTP, IMAP and POP3 ports. I'd like to call BS here. My mail server runs on a Comcast connection. I send all my out going mail through them, but incoming mail works without issue. My employer does pay for my Internet connection, so it might be on some exception list for business service. But, it definitely works.

Re: Anyone have Comcast for an ISP?
Does anyone on here have comcast for an ISP? I use them and today I was messing around on a machine I use for FTP service over my LAN (Not accessible from the net so I'm not worried about using it for back ups) and anyway, I wanted to set up one of my comcast accounts on it so I could do as I've done for years, and use SSH to log into that machine and use fetchmail to grab my email off comcast, and then use Mutt to check it since I really like Mutt. Well, I got sendmail up ad tested that it was working and it was working fine. After that I tried sending a test email with Mutt. For some reason ti failed even though it was the backed up copy of my Muttrc that I used to use on EVERY machine I used mutt on.

My employer does pay for my Internet connection, so it might be on some exception list for business service. But, it definitely works. It's very much a location-by-location, and sometimes even a connection-by-connection kind of thing. I'm in Northern Virginia (DC area), and I've been running a mail server on my Comcast connection for over a year. I found that a lot of providers like Yahoo, AOL, etc. refused to take mail I sent directly out (though Gmail was awesome, shocker, huh?), so I use DynDNS to send outbound mail. For a few months starting last November or so, they blocked all mail -- said there'd been some sort of spike in traffic on my connection that they refused to give me details about, and felt I was infected with something (nevermind that it was a fully patched OpenBSD server running the mail) -- and I had to switch to port 587 for a while. With no notice at all, though, port 25 re-opened at some point later, so I think it was some sort of dynamic block that had an auto-timeout. In any case, you definitely can run mail on Comcast...just not legitimately per their TOS, so you're kind of at the mercy of the local techs.

PS/2 mice suddenly stopped working
I just turned on today and my ps/2 mouse (actually SB with a ps/2 adapter) was not working. Tried reconfiguring in sysinstall to no avail. Tried another pure ps/2 mouse and it didn't work either. Took off the usb-ps/2 adapter off the original mouse, plugged it in a usb port, and now it works. Everything used to work just the day before. I guess it's possible something could be wrong with the port (which would be sad since the motherboard is probably 2-3 weeks old) Does anyone have any ideas on how to test this? I don't have another OS on this box and installing one won't be easy. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For actually burning the images onto a physical CD, you would have to use whichever CD burning software you have in Windows XP. Make sure you consult the FreeBSD handbook in relation to installation and aftewards: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ I don't know if this made any more sense than what you have already read.

Re: How do I add search paths to gcc

I'm using tcsh. There are two ways to set up alternate places to find libraries. The first is ldconfig, and you can see ports run this when you install a port containing shared libraries for example. The other is to use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to set alternate paths at run-time. Well, that might be taken as confusing, even though your info is technically quite correct. Both those methods WILL get those added dirs searched for loading the libraries at run time, BUT it will NOT get your compiler to find the new paths, when linking the program during the build. I'm fairly sure that's what the person wanted, don't you think so? Because, if I'm wrong, you can delete this email right here and now, read no more. BUT you were quite correct, there are definitely *at least* two methods to set up your *compiler* library search paths. In fact, I think I can show you 3 methods right now. First, you can list the full path of the library on the command line, when you use your compiler to link your program. ] Second, you can (as the person suggested himself) you can use the -l/-L options to bring in libraries paths. The -L should come first, it adds the path, and the -l afterwards adds the specific library. The 3rd method is the use the variables LDFLAGS and LDADD. These variables are NOT 100% reliable to use, although they are fairly reliable on BSD systems. The LDFLAGS is where you put your -LExtraPath and the LDADD is where you stick the -lExtraLibrary, like this (from a Makefile example): LDFLAGS+=-L/usr/local LDFLAGS+=-lgtk If you are using the BSD make util, the you use += to add to your variables, instead of replacing them, in case they had some values in them to begin with. Make automatically adds in the obvious spaces, so your definitions don't have a train wreck for you. The 'ldconfig(1)' man page has more info for you. Take care, mdh Here's what the book I'm reading says: The search paths for header files and libraries can also be controlled through environment variables in the shell. These may be set automatically for each session using the appropriate login file, such as \u2018.bash_profile\u2019 in the case of GNU Bash. Additional directories can be added to the include path using the environment variable C_INCLUDE_PATH (for C header files) or CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH (for C++ header files). For example, the following commands will add \u2018/opt/gdbm-1.8.3/include\u2019 to the include path when compiling C programs: $ C_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/gdbm-1.8.3/include $ export C_INCLUDE_PATH and similarly for C++ programs: $ CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/gdbm-1.8.3/include $ export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH This directory will be searched after any directories specified on the command line with the option -I, and before the standard default directories (such as \u2018/usr/local/include\u2019 and \u2018/usr/include\u2019). The shell command export is needed to make the environment variable available to programs outside the shell itself, such as the compiler--it is only needed once for each variable in each shell session, and can also be set in the appropriate login file.(8) Similarly, additional directories can be added to the link path using the environment variable LIBRARY_PATH. For example, the following commands will add \u2018/opt/gdbm-1.8.3/lib\u2019 to the link path: $ LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gdbm-1.8.3/lib $ export LIBRARY_PATH This directory will be searched after any directories specified on the command line with the option -L, and before the standard default directories (such as \u2018/usr/local/lib\u2019 and \u2018/usr/lib\u2019). With the environment variable settings given above the program \u2018dbmain.c\u2019 can be compiled without the -I and -L options, $ gcc -Wall dbmain.c -lgdbm --x Now it looks like I can achieve what I want if I use bash, it looks like the export variable does the trick by making these paths available to external programs like gcc so basically I was trying to achieve this with the csh.

A few jail questions
I've recently been examining the use of jails in FreeBSD, and I have some questions I hope someone can shed some light on with respect to running virtual servers in jails. 1. Upgrading. This probably a It Depends question, but if a host system is upgraded (within version numbers), will the new kernel and world on the host system cause potential problems with existing jails when they are restarted? Or do the jails need to be rebuilt before they are started? 2. Localhost. Jails seem to be implemented using IP address aliasing, so anything within the jail that wants to, or is configured to, bind to the localhost address, now gets bound to the jail's IP address. This means that what was once local, is now publically available. Will running a firewall on the host system work in such cases? 3. Sendmail. The usual approach of setting sendmail_enable=NO (or using DAEMON_OPTIONS) won't prevent sendmail running in a jail from starting up and listening for incoming mail from external hosts. Short of disabling sendmail entirely, I'm wondering what approach most people use as a workaround. Thanks.

Thanks... by the way you can use linux-flash7 instead and if you are using the native FreeBSD firefox and not linux-firefox you have to install and use nspluginwrapper or else it will not work, your second alternative is gnash which works natively with firefox. To use nspluginwrapper you would have to run this after the install. nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so remember for the linux plugins to embed on the native firefox they need some kind of wrapper. Flashplugin9 will not work with native firefox or linux-firefox and I think it's because the linux emulator uses an old version of linux so we have to wait until it changes to a more current version.
