Handling of daily and weekly mails

They can all log in and receive e-mail POP3. I'm using TLS and SMTP AUTH with sendmail - all my users are on Microsoft Outlook 2003 (bar one on Thunderbird and me on KMail). Outlook didn't do TLS properly until Outlook 2003 Service Pack 2 or 3 - the symptom was repeated timeouts on trying to send mail. Even after upgrading all the users to SP3, we still occasionally have a similar problem. A user will try to send mail, the TLS negotiation will time out, and from that point on mail will just accumulate in the outbox. Outlook has to be closed down and restarted before it will correctly try the TLS connection again. We also encountered another issue, which may or may not be related to using a Windows AD domain, which was that Outlook will reuse message-IDs - generally by copying the message-ID of an original message and using it as the message-ID for the reply. This one bit me twice: once when a user (quite correctly) complained that she was losing email. On investigation, it turned out that her manager had sent three or four different messages in reply to messages of hers, and Cyrus imapd had binned them all as duplicates based on the copied message-ID. I had to switch off duplicate suppression in imapd. The second time - which I haven't found a solution for - is in Mailman. The HTML pages for archives are built using the assumption that message-IDs are unique: the result is that when two messages have the same message-ID, only one of them will appear in the archive. (Which one is random, so I suspect Mailman is using the message ID as a hash key internally). I get the feeling that Microsoft pay lip-service to the standards, but don't really carry out proper testing against anything other than Microsoft Exchange (after all, why would you use anything else?!). Outlook doesn't support IMAP well. Worst, from my point of view, I have regular complaints that people using POP3 are losing email. By using telemetry in Cyrus imapd, I've been able to establish that there's no problem server-side: Outlook is downloading the mail, and then throwing it away. Try telling a user that Microsoft stuffed up, though. (Sorry - this turned into an Outlook rant. I hope you find some benefit in the early paragraphs, before I started frothing at the mouth and throwing my toys).

Re: setting the other end's TCP segment size
You can edit `/etc/hostname.foo0' in the Sun too, and add something like: 192.168.1.10/24 mtu 640 [getting OT for FreeBSD] Are you sure that works as far back as SunOS 4.1.1? /etc/hostname.le0 currently consists of the single word pluto and it looks as if this causes /etc/rc.boot to do ifconfig le0 pluto netmask + -trailers up (where the name pluto resolves to 192.168.200.1 via /etc/hosts). If I were to change /etc/hostname.le0 to pluto mtu 640 I think the ifconfig command would become ifconfig le0 pluto mtu 640 netmask + -trailers up and it doesn't look as if ifconfig recognizes mtu as a keyword (at least while running -- granted I haven't tried actually editing /etc/hostname.le0 and rebooting): # ifconfig le0 pluto mtu 640 ifconfig: mtu: bad address ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Today I was called that folks are able to receive, but not send their mail. They are all currently configured for POP3 (I use dovecot). At home I tried to send mail to two different e-mail accounts of mine using the church e-mail server and was successful. I used KMail for this.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Andrew: I've seen a similar problem from time to time with Outlook 2003 clients. For seemingly no reason whatsoever, they give a timeout sending mail. Googling the error code throws up many with the same error and no solution that I've found. Telneting to port 25 or even running the Outlook test mail account feature still work, while Outlook comlains it can't send. The workaround is to quit Outlook and start again. By quitting Outlook, the user must choose 'exit' from the 'file' menu. Simply closing the close box still leaves Outlook in memory and the problem remains. The problem seems to happen perhaps once or twice a month for some users.

no toe capability on...
Hi, Today I updated kernel system on one of my machines (FreeBSD 7.0). After the update which ran absolutely smooth I'm seeing spurious messages both on the console and in /var/log/messages like the following: no toe capability on 0xc2e66400 Grep-ing through the sources I found the above message to come from /usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp_offload.c. As far as I understand this has something to do with TcpOffloadEngine. Please note that this is a box several years old (2GHz P4) with three Intel FXP FastEthernet-cards.

250GB hd: Can FreeBSD use 137GB (bios) as Linux or Windows do?
Yesterday, I wrote about CANNOT READ BLK from my new hd that I filled via firewire: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2008-July/179646.html The response suggested to check for faulty hardware, which I am still trying to do. I found FreeBSD reporting the drive to have 128GB instead of 232GB as FreeBSD did when the drive was connected via firewire. Searching the web, I found one reference of someone else having problems with 128/137GB using the same (latest) bios on this five year old (Centrino) laptop (Acer TM800). From Western Digital, I got Lifeguard, which installed ddo (dynamic drive overlay). With ddo, FreeBSD can access the full drive. Unfortunately, I need to dual boot Windows XP, which seems to be impossible with the ddo MBR. Anyhow, both Linux (Knoppix, 2.6.24) and Windows XP (SP3) can access the whole drive without ddo. With Linux, I checked that I can indeed write and read high sectors. Thus, it is only the bios, not the controller that is limiting lba48 access. (At least with the geometry the disk reports.) Is there any way to have FreeBSD access the whole drive without ddo, too? If that is not possible, can you think of any way to load ddo only for FreeBSD, but have Windows XP started with a regular MBR? I am not sure, why the ddo MBR does not boot Windows XP, but since Windows XP does not need it and ddo is not supported in dual boot environments, I guess I cannot complain.

In addition to Giorgos' answer, there are tools, such as nmap, that
identify the OS by it's behaviour and not by any string that appears
anywhere. In order to convince those tools that your OS is not
FreeBSD, you'll have to alter the IP code to cause it to behave in a
manner that is unique. Good luck doing _that_ without breaking
things.
the command uname must get these information from a file. in which
file are these informations ? i can editing this file simply with my
own informations and my OS based on FREEBSD. this can be the
solution of my problem.
Hi Markus,
That's slightly touching just the tip of the iceberg. See what Bill
wrote about 'OS fingerprinting' above. If you just want to change the
uname output, then all you need is to edit one file:
/usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh
The resulting 'OS' is hardly different from 'FreeBSD' though, so you
will soon want to change stuff like the boot loader:
# pwd
/usr/src/sys/boot
# fgrep -ir 'FreeBSD' .
./common/interp_forth.c:ficlSetEnv(bf_sys, FreeBSD_version,
__FreeBSD_version);
./common/newvers.sh:echo char bootprog_name[] = \FreeBSD/${3} ${2}\;
vers.c
./i386/libfirewire/firewire.c: crom_add_simple_text(src, root,
buf-vendor, FreeBSD Project);
./i386/libfirewire/firewire.c: crom_add_simple_text(src, buf-unit,
buf-spec, FreeBSD);
./ia64/ski/efi_stub.c: LFreeBSD, 0, 0,
./ia64/ski/sal_stub.c: FreeBSD,
#
the __FreeBSD_version magic in sys/param.h:
# pwd
/usr/src/sys/sys
# fgrep __FreeBSD_version param.h
* __FreeBSD_version numbers are documented in the Porter's Handbook.
#undef __FreeBSD_version
#define __FreeBSD_version 800040/* Master, propagated to newvers */
#
the system variables in the default make(1) includes:
# pwd
/usr/share/mk
# expand sys.mk | grep 'FreeBSD[ ]*?='
.FreeBSD?= true
#
and the list goes on for a while.
Even if you _do_ change *all* the strings that say FreeBSD to
something else, you still haven't done anything to change the OS
fingerprint, and you already have a stack of patches that needs
maintenance, or forward porting as FreeBSD releases new patches, new
versions and moves on.
_That_ is what I meant when I wrote that it's non trivial :)
It's certainly possible. The OpenBSD team did this when they split off
NetBSD. The Dragonfly BSD folks have done it already when they branched
from FreeBSD 4.X. So you can definitely do it. But you should probably
understand a lot about the way the system works before doing that, and
changing just the uname output is not enough.

so is the dummy spit by apache itself, or a syscall made by apache ?
u can use ktrace on apache when starting/dying and see what is causing the

IF the issue really is central to /etc/groups , would moving to a bigger user

That was more my question. There must be some OS support which FreeBSD i386 has and FreeBSD amd64 has not. It was just curiosity, though. AFAIK it's not about OS-support for valgrind being required (but there is a module for freebsd which speeds up valgrind considerably), but about syscall-support. valgrind has/requires wrappers for all _possible_ syscalls to be able to implement it's memory-checker and some other functionality, and that table of callbacks and the callbacks themselves simply aren't implemented for amd64 (which has different syscalls/syscall parameters than i386). A porting effort is under way, as far as I recall a discussion on freebsd-hackers I had for a similar reason (the current valgrind that's in ports won't run on any 7.x, because the syscalls changed/were extended somewhat from the 6.x-series, and the table hasn't been adapted correspondingly), but the last time I pulled that porting effort (which is now about two months ago) and compiled it, valgrind was pretty much useless for me (even though it runs), because it couldn't deal with threads (i.e., the syscalls responsible for thread creation/management). Just check in the archives of freebsd-hackers, possibly what's currently present (someone did a tarball) is enough for your purposes.

So here are my questions: o) Has anybody else seen the above messages? Yes, same here on a VIA motherboard with a vr interface. o) Can they safely be ignored? Looks like it. They're debug messages that shouldn't still be in there.

Your problem is caused either by the BIOS lying to it (which is unlikely, because FreeBSD uses the BIOS value only for initial booting), or the hard drive itself lying.

I found FreeBSD reporting the drive to have 128GB instead of 232GB as FreeBSD did when the drive was connected via firewire. Searching the web, I found one reference of someone else having problems with 128/137GB using the same (latest) bios on this five year old (Centrino) laptop (Acer TM800). I don't know how long ago the ATA-6 specification was adopted, but prior to that ATA-5 had a 128 GB limit on disk size. I suspect your BIOS is old enough to have adopted that limit. Perhaps if a BIOS update for your system is available, it will solve your problem. BUT, my understanding is that after the initial boot, FreeBSD reads the size directly from the drive, so it seems strange that you are encountering this problem if the drive itself is correctly reporting its size. Anyway, the fundamental answer to your question is this should not be happening. The challenge is to figure out where the problem is and what to do about it. FreeBSD has no such limit, at least not in recent versions (I'm using a 200 GB drive at this moment, and at home I have a system with a 500 GB and a 750 GB drive). Your problem is caused either by the BIOS I never said FreeBSD had a limit. With ddo, it works. (I am on 7.0.) lying to it (which is unlikely, because FreeBSD uses the BIOS value Yes, it is the bios. With ddo, the full disk is available; ddo supposingly does nothing but change the bios interrupt handlers. only for initial booting), or the hard drive itself lying. Does your Are you sure about only for initial booting? If that was the case, I would not understand why it shows ad0: 238475MB with ddo and ad0: 131072MB without. Moreover, I tried writing to a sector beyond 128GB unsuccessfully without ddo and successfully with ddo (using dd). I am quite certain, although I don't know the details. Like any modern operating system (and since before some of them), FreeBSD asks the drive for its size. drive have a jumper that causes it to report its capacity as 128GB for compatibility with older BIOSes? If so, remove the jumper and try again. These is no such jumper. With Linux and Windows seeing the correct size (without ddo), the drive must report it somehow correctly. Either your claim that FreeBSD is not relying on the bios is wrong, or I understand even less about the interaction of bios, drive, ddo handler, and os than I thought I would. (Please, enlighten me, if you know more.) I think it would be informative to do as someone suggested after your first post, and re-install FreeBSD on the partition from scratch, to see if it that solves the behavior problems. It could be an artifact of your transfer method, although I don't have a specific theory to explain it. By the way, what version of FreeBSD is on the system? Any chance it is old enough that it didn't support drives larger than 128 GB (I don't know how old that would have to be)? That might include a bug in an IDE driver that has since been fixed, or an obscure default configuration option that changes FreeBSD's idea of how to address a drive. Another thought is that if you aren't using the FreeBSD loader (MBR), then your problems may be caused by the loader. You could test this by installing the FreeBSD disk loader (I think that would be boot0cfg -B ad0, but I might not have that right). Is there any chance the MS-DOS partition table got changed at some point to tell FreeBSD the partition is smaller than the BSD label says it is? Thanks for your input!

Bypassing Transparent Proxy
Ladies and Gentlemen, A situation has arisen for which I need to bypass my transparent proxy server (Squid) for a ceratin IP address range. Following are the contents of my ipnat.rules file. map em1 192.d.e.f/24 - 0/32 map em1 from 10.a.b.c/24 to 69.147.83.33/32 - 0/32 rdr em0 0.0.0.0/0 port 80 - 10.x.y.z port 3128 tcp map em1 10.a.b.c/24 - 0/32 em1 is the external interface on my server. My thinking with the rules, was adding the map command before the rdr would prevent traffic destined for 69.147.83.33 from hitting the proxy server. Unfortunately, it did not work. Is there an easy way to bypass the proxy server when accessing this one address?

Thanks for more helping to think through this mess of information I got during the last day. FreeBSD has to make some educated guesses about what disk geometry to assume: it has to try to make assumptions that will be compatible with what other operating systems are likely to do, so at times it is possible that it will opt for something safe but not right in order to balance conflicting information it gets from the BIOS, the partition table, and the drive itself.

Re: Controlling read access
What ftp server software are you using? For example, in proftpd, you simply add this line to /usr/local/etc/ proftpd.conf: DefaultRoot ~ and everyone is jailed into his own directory. It also seems the ftp daemon in the base system supports this through /etc/ftpchroot. If you are using it, read the man pages for ftpd(8) and ftpchroot(5) Ah... I knew there had to be a better way. I am using sftp-server. I'm going to try to find some documentation on it right now...

Re: log size handling
Hello, The restart process with apache is that all the child processes are shutdown -- either straight away (for a plain restart) or once they've finished their current bit of work (fora graceful restart). As the child process shuts down, it closes all the file descriptors used for logging. I put two entries in newsyslog.conf. One for rotating all logs at the start of the month, and the other one specifically for the site which gets many hits to rotate its log once it grows more than 25MB in size. /var/log/*-access.log 644 12*$M1D0 GZC /var/run/httpd.pid 30 /var/log/example.com-access.log644 10025000* ZC /var/run/httpd.pid 30 The log was indeed rotated when it grew larger than the specified size but it was not rotated at the start of the month. Any idea why? Is it so that the first entry effectively eliminates the second? If so, how can I make sure the log does not grow too large and is rotated at the start of the month? Many thanks!

My difficulties is to configure OpenOSPFD to distribute routes in this setup, the links failover+loadbalance comes naturally after ospf running. For example, in the above diagram you cannot load balance the traffic, it will always go through the same routers: FW1 and FW3 or FW1 and FW4 or FW2 and FW3 or FW2 and FW4.

I think it is a broken lib - but though I recompiled all the libs it still does not work. Now I'll do it the right way and use gdb but until now I had no success compiling a binary of firefox (or regxpcom which also hangs) with debug symbols I tried make DEBUG=on LOGGING=on but this produced also only the stripped binaries. So - how can I build firefox (form the ports) with debug symbols? Thank you, Martin L. WITH_DEBUG is the variable you're interested in. It must be defined, so something like: `make WITH_DEBUG=yes install` should do the trick. Cheers, frase pgpVn05oOkKwx.pgp Description: PGP signature
