Re: Why are some linux users saying that FreeBSD is dying
FreeBSD is a dying OS because netcraft.com confirms it that's the argument used some of these guys, and I'm wondering what data are they using to make but what's a point of such discussions at all? let they use their favourite linux, You use FreeBSD. that's all. If you think FreeBSD is superior (like me), be happy most use linux. So you can offer better/cheaper services than them. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Adobe Flash Player Petition
Hi List, I just wrote an email to Justin Everett-Church. He is the product manager for the Adobe Flash Player, this is his blog: http://justin.everett-church.com/index.php/aboutjustin/ His email: blog at justin.mailshell.com Another product manager is Emmy Huang, but I couldnt find her email address. We can try to make Adobe release a Flash Player plugin for FreeBSD. It is merely a matter for them to compile it and put it on their website for download. PLEASE CONTACT ADOBE. TELL THEM TO RELEASE A FLASH PLUGIN FOR FREEBSD. There are more and more websites you cannot even enter without a running Flash Player. If many of the BSD community ask for it, they probably will release a BSD Version..

Re: Question regarding mail and dns server on Alix/Soekris?
On Mon, 7 Apr 2008, David Duong wrote: I'm planning to redoing my home network. I currently have one server (Opteron 170) that is currently a NAS, Email, and DNS server (btw, the main OS is FreeBSD). I was thinking of purchasing an Alix2c3/Soekris 5501 and use it as a Email + DNS server. Then dedicate my main server as a FreeBSD NFS server. My question is, has anyone installed a mail + DNS server on a ALIX/Soekris PC? If so, is it able to handle the load? I received a Soekris 4801 for Christmas 2005. I put FreeBSD 6 on it. It's my home network's gateway to the outside world, router, firewall (pf), dns server (bind), time server (ntpd), and socks proxy (nylon). I wanted this to be a highly reliable machine, so I opted not to install a hard drive. It boots from the compact flash card, mounted read-only so it won't wear out. I didn't want to trust my email or web content to a memory disk, so I've got those services running on another box. It's running sendmail just for nightly status reports, but that's probably not what you're interested in. It wasn't easy to set this up, but it was very rewarding. FreeBSD's diskless startup code was in a state of flux when I put this box together, but I expect it's a lot better now. I've been happy with it. I'm tempted to try upgrading it to FreeBSD 7 on some rainy weekend, and I may even install a DHCP server on it this time. I'm not sure what numbers you're interested in for determining if the box can handle the load. top registers no load, a mostly idle CPU, and mostly free memory. pfctl -s info registers between 800 and 1000 states and 255 searches per second when I'm saturating my connection with p2p traffic and using a bunch of complicated stateful firewall rules and priority queueing. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For instance, if you plug a Windows PC into the gateway, it will by default request an address via DHCP.

Hi Jim, The QEmu VM can access the web (I'm typing this out now in WindowsXP running safely in it's cage, for example). But it cannot VPN into work (timeout) or ping anything.

unknown PPP protocol - fragmentation problems
Hi I've just changed ISP and I am having some issues with PPP and large packets. I've got a Draytek Vigor 100 ethernet modem which proxies PPPoA - PPPoE so I can initiate the PPPoE connection to my ISP from my FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE box. This worked perfectly with my previous ISP but now any packets larger than 1500 bytes and thus requiring fragmentation which arrive in do not make it to the tun0 ppp interface. For example here I initiate a large ping from outside my network to the machine on which my ppp client is running - # ping -s 1500 -c 1 88.129.153.191 This is what arrives on the physical vr1 interface on which pppoe is running 002774 00:50:7f:8c:f2:08 00:00:24:c9:57:39, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 1018: PPPoE [len 1502 998!] [ses 0x3ec] unknown (0x2021), length 998: unknown PPP protocol (0x2021) 0x: 4500 eb13 4357 2000 3301 0334 5775 d0c5 0x0010: 5895 9ac6 0800 6190 ffe8 47fc a40e 0x0020: efd9 0809 0a0b 0c0d 0e0f 1011 1213 0x0030: 1415 1617 1819 1a1b 1c1d 1e1f 2021 2223 0x0040: 2425 2627 2829 2a2b 2c2d 40 00:50:7f:8c:f2:08 00:00:24:c9:57:39, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 538: [ver 4] [type 5]PPPoE [len 1502 518!] [ses 0x20c] unknown (0x009e), length 518: unknown PPP protocol (0x009e) 0x: 4500 d3ea 4357 2000 3301 0334 c8c9 cacb 0x0010: cccd cecf d0d1 d2d3 d4d5 d6d7 d8d9 dadb 0x0020: dcdd dedf e0e1 e2e3 e4e5 e6e7 e8e9 eaeb 0x0030: eced eeef f0f1 f2f3 f4f5 f6f7 f8f9 fafb 0x0040: fcfd feff 0001 0203 0405 11 00:50:7f:8c:f2:08 00:00:24:c9:57:39, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 70: PPPoE [ses 0x6] IP (0x0021), length 50: (tos 0x0, ttl 51, id 17239, offset 1480, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 48) 87.119.223.147 88.129.153.191: icmp This is all that arrives on the tun0 ppp interface 15. 242441 AF IPv4 (2), length 52: (tos 0x0, ttl 51, id 18322, offset 1480, flags [none], proto ICMP (1), length 48) 87.119.223.147 88.129.153.191: icmp If anyone can decipher this and give me an idea of what's going wrong I'd be most grateful.

You can turn off all their alert signals using the apcupsd ( sysutils/apcupsd) program ( which is of course used for automatic shutdowns). The setting is stored in UPS memory (probably flash or EEPROM) and is retained. This is good actually, since one of these is pretty close to my bedroom ;) So it can be switched off with the software? That could work for me... I just confirmed with APC regarding this software setting, and they confirmed it- but stated categorically that only the Window$ software of their making could do it. Can you confirm the BSD software will do it? I think I shocked the guy when he suggested just hook up to another windows box to change the setting, then put it on whatever machine I wanted, and I told him that was near impossible- I wouldn't corrupt my network with M$!!! I assure you, apcupsd has this option. Here is a direct paste from my freebsd server: Please select the function you want to perform. 1) Test kill UPS power 2) Perform self-test 3) Read last self-test result 4) Change battery date 5) View battery date 6) View manufacturing date 7) Set alarm behavior 8) Set sensitivity 9) Quit Select function number: 7 Current alarm setting: DISABLED Press...

Jails config
Hi, I've installed a fresh new 7.0 FreeBSD server with 2 intherface cards. On it, I have to run simultaneously some of my public services - name server(bind), smtp(postfix) and www(apache) server. I found that solution based on jails is suitable for my needs, but I have no any experience with jails. I know that jail has own a single IP address - for named, this is ok I thing - but what about other services ? I have an administrative panel, which make some changes on www server, so I can not remap requests to that panel to listen on private lan - I have to use public ip to manage my www site trough web interface. For smtp the situation is the same - if my smtp server is only smtp relay server that do some basic checks and then have to forward mails to the core smtp sever, where I do spam and other check. Have to use again public addressess to talk these servers each others ?!? Again - I have no experience or maybe jails is not the right solutions for me ?!? I think, that the almost the same config is described in the handbook, so I think that I miss something or maybe I have to do things in standart way, I mean without jails ?!? Generally, my question is how to remap some sensitive tasks through private addresses or route smpt messagess from smtp relay to mailboxes in private lan, when these services is runs on jails?

For making backups to DVD you need growisofs(1). This is part of the sysutils/dvd+rw-tools port, which you'll need to install. You will also need to configure your kernel to use SCSI emulation for the DVD device.

The hard part is to make sure that whatever you burn isn't larger than a DVD. Depending on data size you'll have to spread the data to several DVDs. If you have a lot of data, using DVDs is impractical. What I would recommend is to buy a large harddisk with a USB connection and use that to store your backups.

E.g. to dump the root partition: dump -0 -a -C 8 -h 0 -L -u -f - / |gzip /where/to/put/root-0-20080409.gz Remember to set the 'nodump' flag (with chflags(1)) on all directories that don't need to be backed up.

Other than that, I'd go for a Celeron on a dull, but stable, motherboard. One other thought on hardware RAID: If your RAID board itself dies you better hope you can get it repaired or acquire an exact replacement, down to the firmware version in some cases. If not, you'll have real trouble reading anything off of your disks.

[Fwd: Re: smtp auth - checkpw or auth_cdb or ?]
I posted the message quoted below to the qmail list, and got a reply
(below) from jms1 asking just which patches I have with the qmail port.
Does the SMTP_AUTH_PATCH config option in the freebsd port use jms1's
patches?
I sort of doubt this is a repeat of the qmailrocks debacle, but I'd
like to know whether there would be any advantage to building qmail from
source without using the port.

which means what, exactly? what patches are included in that port?
i ask because some of the variables listed in your run script (i.e.
AUTH_CDB, REQUIRE_AUTH, ALLOW_INSECURE_AUTH, FORCE_TLS, DENY_DLS,
etc.) are specific to features which only exist (as far as i know) in
my combined patch.
i've been told that there was an attempt to build a freebsd port
with my patch in it, but (1) i didn't write the port; (2) if this
run script is part of it, it looks like the people who put the port
together wrote their own scripts instead of using the ones from my web
site; (3) the people who wrote the port didn't tell me that they were
releasing it, or offer me a chance to preview what they were releasing
(does the word qmailrocks sound familiar here?) and (4) i don't use
freebsd, so if there is a port out there, i have no way to test it or
provide support for it.
the only things i could suggest would be to contact whoever wrote the
port for assistance, or do the same thing people recommend for debian
linux- build qmail from source, by hand instead of using a package
manager like ports or rpm, so that you KNOW exactly what is and is
not included.
start with http://lifewithqmail.org/ and then, if you need any extra
features which aren't part of netqmail, spend some time reading my
qmail site, as well as the web sites for several of the other mega-
patches out there, and figure out which one is going to best meet
your needs. follow the directions for that patch, and if you run into
problems, ask on the mailing lists for those patches (i have a list, i
know bill shupp's qmail toaster has a list, and i'm pretty sure the
others do as well.)

Here's my original message, fyi:
I'm trying to set up an authenticated SMTP server. I have the freebsd
qmail 1.03_6 port, built with the SMTP_AUTH_PATCH config option.
My run script looks like this:

#AUTH_CDB=/var/qmail/auth/auth.cdb
CHECKPW=/usr/local/bin/checkpassword-pam

I tried to test it - fear not this test account is not accessible from
the net - SSL is turned off just until I get it working this far:

I should mention this takes a few seconds to fail.
But, the checkpassword-pam does seem to work, and very quickly indeed.

Re: Server build config, what would you do?
The one thing that I can think of that I've not seen mentioned in this thread, which could actually start to make a difference to component choice, is whether those several people are all hoping to stream video and music off of this server. Other than that, I'd go for a Celeron on a dull, but stable, motherboard. that's much better. in such case i turn up WWW browser, run allegro.pl (polish equivalent of ebay.com) and get cheapest computer that would be enough for the task, BUT something like IBM, HP, Siemens, etc... There are lot of good-branded desktops, that are small, quite elegant, really cheap and they are STABLE. older are better than new in this - all that had to fail, already failed. FreeBSD is not windoze, 64-128MB RAM is enough for most server tasks, unless you use spamassassin then 192 at least. there is usually need to buy new disks or used, but larger, as existing are (is) too small, and 2 disks are good thing. 300$ for all, including disks, is enough. for STABLE system, that i'm sure about. It's actually much cheaper if you count less electricity used than todays systems multiplied by few years 24h/365d usage. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you just want to restore a couple of files instead of the whole thing, you should use '-i' instead of '-r'. But if you're using '-r', you should make a pristine filesystem with newfs first. Personally I use 'gzip -1' for compression because it's fast. Using bzip2 usually isn't worth it; backups will be a couple of percents smaller but take two to three times as long! The script that I use to make backups of all my UFS partitions can be found on my shell-scripts page under the name 'dodumps', in case anyone is interested: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/software/scripts.html Roland -- R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) pgpGojRDDBYA0.pgp Description: PGP signature

rpc.lockd leaking memory on 6.3
Hi, Recently we updated our main NFS server to FreeBSD 6.3. This machine serves about 10 netboot clients all running FreeBSD 6.2. Since the upgrade we are having some issues with locking. We tried to avoid running the lockd daemons at all but most software on the netboot clients (Apache, Postfix) refuses to run without it. On the 6.3 server rpc.lockd leaks memory, somewhat less than 1 meg per hour. This means that every few days we need to restart the daemon. This is quite annoying because we need to stop/start rpc.lockd on both the server and the clients in a controlled fashion. In most cases also the daemons using locking need to be restarted. Is this a known issue? I could not find a PR for it. Maybe a workaround? I found some recent posts on the -current list about a complete rewrite of the locking mechanism, will this be ported to 6-STABLE in the future?

samba 3.0.28 on 7.0-RELEASE with base heimdal
Hello, I've been trying to get samba installed and connecting to a Win2k03 AD using RFC2307 and having problems getting it to join the domain. I've got a 6.2 machine which is working with nearly the same configuration (I think the only differences are the idmap backends). I installed from the port after enabling the ADS support (and EXP_MODULES as I want the idmap backends provided there). I installed the openldap23-sasl-client as that is what I installed on the 6.2 machine (somewhere I read that was needed for things to work correctly). I copied a working krb5.conf file from my 6.2 machine and verified that I could successfully do kinit (this works great, I get a ticket for myself). However, when I try to do the net ads join command (after I kinit as the user who has permission to add the computer account to AD), I get prompted for my password, and then get the Response too big for UDP, retry with TCP error and am unable to join the domain. I *thought* that I didn't get prompted for my password with the 6.2 machine, but it has been since last summer that I set it up. I see that net ads join creates its own krb5.conf file in /var/db/samba/smb_krb5/krb5.conf.IASTATE which doesn't have the tcp/ service flag preceding the IP addresses. I ran the command with debug level at 10, and after a whole bunch of query stuff after it asked for my password, I got this: [2008/04/09 15:42:44, 4] libads/ldap.c:ads_current_time(2414) time offset is 0 seconds [2008/04/09 15:42:44, 4] libads/sasl.c:ads_sasl_bind(521) Found SASL mechanism GSS-SPNEGO [2008/04/09 15:42:44, 3] libads/sasl.c:ads_sasl_spnego_bind(213) ads_sasl_spnego_bind: got OID=1 2 840 48018 1 2 2 [2008/04/09 15:42:44, 3] libads/sasl.c:ads_sasl_spnego_bind(213) ads_sasl_spnego_bind: got OID=1 2 840 113554 1 2 2 [2008/04/09 15:42:44, 3] libads/sasl.c:ads_sasl_spnego_bind(213) ads_sasl_spnego_bind: got OID=1 2 840 113554 1 2 2 3 [2008/04/09 15:42:44, 3] libads/sasl.c:ads_sasl_spnego_bind(213) ads_sasl_spnego_bind: got OID=1 3 6 1 4 1 311 2 2 10 [2008/04/09 15:42:44, 3] libads/sasl.c:ads_sasl_spnego_bind(222) ads_sasl_spnego_bind: got server principal name = [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2008/04/09 15:42:44, 3] libsmb/clikrb5.c:ads_krb5_mk_req(593) ads_krb5_mk_req: krb5_cc_get_principal failed (No such file or directory) [2008/04/09 15:42:44, 10] libads/sasl.c:ads_sasl_spnego_bind(262) ads_sasl_spnego_krb5_bind failed with: No such file or directory, calling kinit [2008/04/09 15:42:44, 10] libads/kerberos.c:kerberos_kinit_password_ext(91) kerberos_kinit_password: using [MEMORY:net_ads] as ccache and config [/var/db/samba/smb_krb5/krb5.conf.IASTATE] [2008/04/09 15:42:44, 0] libads/kerberos.c:ads_kinit_password(228) kerberos_kinit_password [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed: Response too big for UDP, retry with TCP [2008/04/09 15:42:44, 1] utils/net_ads.c:net_ads_join(1470) error on ads_startup: Response too big for UDP, retry with TCP Failed to join domain: NT_STATUS_PROTOCOL_UNREACHABLE [2008/04/09 15:42:44, 2] utils/net.c:main(1036) return code = -1 --- Does any of this mean anything to anybody?

PF appears to ignore packets or at leaaast sees them differently than tcpdump
I'm trying to make use of ssh using tun devices. So I have box A with a tun0 10.3.10.1/30 creating a tunnel to box B which has a tun10 10.3.10.230 sshd listens on port 2020 on box A. From box B, ssh 10.3.10.1 -p 2020 works as expected. Here's my problem. I'd like to ssh in to box A from box C, in this case sitting on 76.17.219.196. So I set up the following PF rules on box B... rdr on em0 proto tcp from any to $me port 2020 - 10.3.10.1 port 2020 pass in route-to tun10 proto tcp from any to 10.3.10.1 port 2020 Now, from box C, ssh $me -p 2020 times out, and the reason why is box A sees the traffic coming from 76.17.219.196 and replies out it's default route. No big deal, I should be able to fix that with route-to rules. So box A gets... pass out on em0 route-to tun0 proto tcp from any to any port 2020 Ideally this rule would be more specific, but I've been getting looser and looser with it trying to see why it won't match. # tcpdump -i em0 port 2020 listening on em0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 21:44:19.408264 IP 10.3.10.1.xinupageserver c-76-17-219-196.hsd1.mn.comcast.net.49242: S 349765613:349765613(0) ack 97403528 win 65535 mss 1460,nop,wscale 1,nop,nop,timestamp 7877043 175504784,sackOK,eol 21:44:22.408191 IP 10.3.10.1.xinupageserver c-76-17-219-196.hsd1.mn.comcast.net.49242: S 349765613:349765613(0) ack 97403528 win 65535 mss 1460,nop,wscale 1,nop,nop,timestamp 7880043 175504784,sackOK,eol I thought maybe the state table was involved... # pfctl -s state no output Why are packets going out em0 and ignoring my route-to rule?

Re: QEMU networking quirkiness on 7.0

Hi Jim,
The QEmu VM can access the web (I'm typing this out now in WindowsXP
running safely in it's cage, for example). But it cannot VPN into work
(timeout) or ping anything. I suspect it has to do with the way that
QEmu is given network access. Is there any way to set up QEmu to
access the network through an aliased IP address, and hence look like
any other machine on my network, rather than to hide behind my BSD
box? Is there another route I should take?+
I connect my qemu boxes via the tap interface and then bridge it to the
external interface so it works like just another box on the LAN. It's
quite easy to setup and works pretty well, checkout:
http://people.freebsd.org/~maho/qemu/qemu.html
I just CPed a huge section and tacked it on to the end of this mail.
It says to do this within the emulator, but the emulator is supposedly
running win2k. I take it this is done on the host system?
Thanks,

Networking
Default, network is configured inside of the emulator; not visible
from outside. This is not absolutely confotable! There are pros and
cons: you must be the root and your qemu virtual machine is visible
from outside. Assume you know your network interface name. In my case
this is fxp0. you can check this by:
% dmesg | grep Ethernet
First, as root,
# kldload bridge.ko
# sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=fxp0,tap0
net.link.ether.bridge_cfg: - fxp0,tap0
# sysctl net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1
net.link.ether.bridge.enable: 0 - 1
create /etc/qemu-ifup script as
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig ${1} 0.0.0.0
and make this script runnable.
# chmod 755 /etc/qemu-ifup
To do this at every boot time, write /etc/sysctl.conf
net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=fxp0,tap0
net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1

Re: Back up files...
Hi to all, Thanks for your reply..I already solve it using third party software, which for me using it is much more easy... best regards..

Make your backups with the dump(8) command, and compress the dump using gzip(1). E.g. to dump the root partition: dump -0 -a -C 8 -h 0 -L -u -f - / |gzip /where/to/put/root-0-20080409.gz OK. Right. And what is exactly the command for restore? Something like gunzip dumpfile.gz | restore rf dumpfile Close. It's 'gunzip dumpfile.gz | restore -rf -' since you are restoring from standard input. If you just want to restore a couple of files instead of the whole thing, you should use '-i' instead of '-r'. But if you're using '-r', you should make a pristine filesystem with newfs first. Personally I use 'gzip -1' for compression because it's fast. Using bzip2 usually isn't worth it; backups will be a couple of percents smaller but take two to three times as long!

Pine and IMAP
I have been using a local pine client in conjunction with IMAP for years without issues. However, recently, it looks like when pine moves mail to the mbox file, it hoses up my ability to use my imap clients. Has something changed so that I cannot use pine as a local client? It looks like I might be able to use pine through IMAP ok, but not like I used to. Any suggestions as to what is causing this problem?
