upgrade from 6.1-RELEASE to 6.3-RELEASE
Hello list. I'm about to upgrade from 6.1-RELEASE to 6.3-RELEASE from source and I'd like to ask a couple of questions. 1) Do the system interface change? That is, will I have to recompile all ports after upgrading? 2) Any gotcha, hints or things to be aware of? Of course, as usual I'll take full backups before beginning the upgrade.. Best regards.

Re: using /dev/random
What is the canonical way to get data from /dev/random?
Specifically: having opened the file, how do I read the stream?
I'm currently using
union {
float f;
char c[4];
} foo;
foo.f = 0.0;
fscanf(rand_fp,%4c,foo.c);
simply read 4 bytes into foo

Re: Run script as root from WebServer
Hi, I'm using mod_python3 and apache22 to create some scripts and access them through a web interface. The problem is that some of these scripts deal with configuration files and some other tasks that require root privileges. In the past, I've solved this issue by using sudo and allowing just the commands I want to allow in the sudoers file to the apache user.But I'm wondering if this is the better way to do what I want to do. What would you do in such a situation? Thanks for your help. I use suexec for situations like this. -- Sasa Stupar pgpt7kt09orQq.pgp Description: Digitalen podpis PGP

semget: no space left on freebsd 6.2
hello everyone,
i'm having some trouble with a freebsd 6.2 box and apache-2.0.59. When
i try to install some apache_mods, i get this:
For example with mod_cband:
*
apache2_mod_cband: cannot create shared memory segment for remote hosts
*
when i debug this, i get to the point where kernel says:
semget: No space left on device
It doesn't happen with all apache2_mods, but with a few, for example
mod_cband and mod_tsunami.
i've googled a lot and found some people with the same problem but with
apache 1.3.x. Their fix doesn't work in my box. They have tried this:
*
ipcs -s | grep nobody | perl -e 'while (STDIN) {
@a=split(/\s+/); print `ipcrm sem $a[1]`}'
*
but it doesn't work for me.
i also found this:
**
Also try adding this options on FreeBSD kernel config:
options SEMMNI=20
options SEMMNS=120
And set the kern.maxfiles sysctl option higher than 1000.
*
it didn't work either.
do you have any idea where the problem is? Thanks.

Moving to freebsd firewall for a small DataCenter network
Hello, I have been using FreeBSD for many years as a server and have based most of my hosting services on this fantastic OS. Since three years I have been using SonicWall firewall as a firewall device. As my hosting services are growing, It seems that the SonicWall device is quite light for what I am doing. I have now 10 servers hosted on one uniq /28 network with direct connexion to the Net. I was wondering if there is a good if possible integrated firewall device running on FreeBSD. I have deployed local firewall on each of my servers based on ipf. Works great, but I am not sure I want to dig all the time into a file based config, little visual interface could ease my pain… (of course this is optional). I would like something quite strong but simple that I could deploy on a small 1U server or dedicated device. Any pointer / howto / feed back on experience will be most welcome. Something similar to this could be nice: http://www.untangle.com/ Thanks for your support.

Subject: using /dev/random
What is the canonical way to get data from /dev/random?
Specifically: having opened the file, how do I read the stream?
I'm currently using
union {
float f;
char c[4];
} foo;
foo.f = 0.0;
fscanf(rand_fp,%4c,foo.c);
which doesn't seem to produce anywhere near random bytes as
promised by the man page.
Robert Huff
The canonical way is to use the functions random(), or srandom()
or srandomdev() or arc4random() depending on what
you need the random data for. /dev/random is really only
useful for seeding these functions (some of them pull data
from /dev/random internally)
The thrust behind the FreeBSD /dev/random device is that
we know that getting lots of real random data from /dev/random is
difficult, however getting non-repeating seeds from
/dev/random is easy. The device has thus been optimized
for seed generation to feed these other functions.
If you really want to roll-your-own and not use these functions
then you could read blocks from /dev/random and run
a Chi-square and Monte Carlo test on each
block and discard the ones that don't pass.
I've done my experimenting with the ENT program:
http://www.fourmilab.ch/random/
ie:
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=3000 count=100 of=random-sample
ent random-sample
Successive runs of that with different data sets and blocksizes
clearly illustrates the generator can't pass Chi-square quite
a lot of times.

There's 2 alternatives I have used: 1) If the configuration files allow 'includes', then include a file that is writeable by the webuser. This will additionally allow you to restrict what the webserver can change in the config of this application. Note, that configuration files that are modifyable by root only, often are for a reason, so this does not improve the security of the service being configured, but it takes a fork() and sudo out of the mix. 2) If the changes do not need to be immediate, then you can put it in a queue directory and run a script through root's cron that picks up the queue and runs the commands there in. You then have the opportunity to remove scripts before they are run or even build in authorization. Another option that we use is to have an XML-RPC server running as root on localhost, accessible from the web server. This server is written using the standard python SimpleXMLRPCServer, and handles a limited number of procedures. Some of these procedures, such as running ``make'' in the etc/postfix directory, do not have serious authentication. Others have stronger methods of authentication and restrictions.

This may seem simple, but I'm completely green on this: I have a postfix server with a courier-imap client frontend using maildir's. I'm using imap for an internal mta, but I need to setup a system which retains copies of sent emails on the network and not on individual workstations (which is what happens currently). When you say courier-imap client, do you mean you're using maildrop to deliver the message to the user's maildir or that there is an end-user courier-imap client? I am only familiar with the maildrop piece of courier. I've looked at some of the solutions (bcc and send to a psuedo account for each user, bcc to the user and filter the incoming mail on this) but it seems like a very roundabout way of doing things. I've read up on Postfix, and there is support for custom filters, so: 1. what does it take to write one? 2. how does one copy email from one folder to another in maildirs? Is it possible? This is a classic case of over engineering. You do not want to bcc back to the user, or filter the mta, just move the outgoing messages to the sent folder. You might need bcc for the purposes of journaling all email, if you have any legal requirement (sox, hippa, etc.) that require it. But, that it another ball of wax entirely. This idea I have should filter the outgoing mail and copy the messages to the sent folder as well as retaining its place in the queue. If the end-user's client is using imap and configured properly, it should do this for you. Thurderbird, the full version of Outlook (and probably Express), and many other clients support this natively - you just have to make sure the client is configured to do that. Typically, in the configuration of the client, there is something that says something like save a copy of sent messages to folder of choice. I don't know what client you're using. I use Pine/Alpine, Thunderbird, and Outlook (when I have no other choice). If the end-user's client is using pop, then you have a problem that may require a custom solution like you speak of above. Any ideas? Maybe a link to some good info? I would like to know how to do this myself so I can do more in the future so info and pointers would be great (if you have a script you'd like to share then please show me how it works :) ). Cheers My mail system is running postfix (mta) w/ dovecot (for imap or pop access from the clients), maildrop (for delivering to a maildir), and amavis-new (for spam filtering and virus scanning w/ clamav). My mail clients are configured for imap, and they save copies of sent mail to the sent folder as expected. While I am using dovecot, and not courier, for my imap server - I cannot imagine that any other imap server would handle things any differently ... it's core functionality that ever imap server should have imho. -George Me too. It may be possible to save a copy in evolution, but I haven't found it in all clients. Plus my system needs to be suitable for a webmail system, and yes some pop clients. You sound like you know maildrop very well, I was considering using it as a part of the solution. If I wrote a milter script for postfix, is it possible to pass the message to maildrop so that it can take care of the formalities such as filenames and formats and tell it to put it in a sent folder? Something like a shell or perl script that uses this line to run maildrop: maildrop -d $user Maildir/.Sent Obviously the message itself will be piped, and the $user will be obtained by copying the from field in the message. Would something like this work? I've been searching on google but haven't found a clear answer, they only mention using maildrop filters and commands there- not actual usage of the maildrop cli. Cheers If you wrote a filter for postfix, which I have no idea how to do, the maildrop command you sight looks good. A friend of mine is using round cube for web mail (I don't have webmail setup on my server), and it will also save a copy to the sent folder. Most of the web clients should provide this functionality. The pop clients are the ones that are going to be an issue. I'm not sure what Google is using for gmail. But, when I send a message using their smtp service, a copy goes into my account. So, what you're looking to do is obviously possible, but I do not have an experience with it as I have not had need for a solution yet. I would certainly be interested in what you come up with though. Another possible option is to configure the clients to always bcc the sender, and then write a maildrop rule. Something like if (/^From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/) to Maildir/.Sent might work (I have not tested this rule, it may not function as desired). That would have to go in the .mailfilter file in each user's home dir. I think you can have global

The userland version of arc4random() (which is RC4) is probably OK, but it's known to be distinguishable from random, which is technically a break. The kernel version is much less secure, because it's not guaranteed to be seeded properly. For non-trivial Monte-Carlo work you're better-off with something intended for the purpose, such as the Mersenne Twister. The device has thus been optimized for seed generation to feed these other functions. It wasn't, it was designed to be a fast and secure all-round random number generator. If you really want to roll-your-own and not use these functions then you could read blocks from /dev/random and run a Chi-square and Monte Carlo test on each block and discard the ones that don't pass.

I'm using imap for an internal mta, but I need to setup a system which retains copies of sent emails on the network and not on individual workstations (which is what happens currently). When you say courier-imap client, do you mean you're using maildrop to deliver the message to the user's maildir or that there is an end-user courier-imap client? I am only familiar with the maildrop piece of courier. I've looked at some of the solutions (bcc and send to a psuedo account for each user, bcc to the user and filter the incoming mail on this) but it seems like a very roundabout way of doing things. I've read up on Postfix, and there is support for custom filters, so: 1. what does it take to write one? 2. how does one copy email from one folder to another in maildirs? Is it possible? This is a classic case of over engineering. You do not want to bcc back to the user, or filter the mta, just move the outgoing messages to the sent folder. You might need bcc for the purposes of journaling all email, if you have any legal requirement (sox, hippa, etc.) that require it. But, that it another ball of wax entirely. This idea I have should filter the outgoing mail and copy the messages to the sent folder as well as retaining its place in the queue. If the end-user's client is using imap and configured properly, it should do this for you. Thurderbird, the full version of Outlook (and probably Express), and many other clients support this natively - you just have to make sure the client is configured to do that. Typically, in the configuration of the client, there is something that says something like save a copy of sent messages to folder of choice. I don't know what client you're using. I use Pine/Alpine, Thunderbird, and Outlook (when I have no other choice). If the end-user's client is using pop, then you have a problem that may require a custom solution like you speak of above. Any ideas? Maybe a link to some good info? I would like to know how to do this myself so I can do more in the future so info and pointers would be great (if you have a script you'd like to share then please show me how it works :) ). Cheers My mail system is running postfix (mta) w/ dovecot (for imap or pop access from the clients), maildrop (for delivering to a maildir), and amavis-new (for spam filtering and virus scanning w/ clamav). My mail clients are configured for imap, and they save copies of sent mail to the sent folder as expected. While I am using dovecot, and not courier, for my imap server - I cannot imagine that any other imap server would handle things any differently ... it's core functionality that ever imap server should have imho. -George Me too. It may be possible to save a copy in evolution, but I haven't found it in all clients. Plus my system needs to be suitable for a webmail system, and yes some pop clients. You sound like you know maildrop very well, I was considering using it as a part of the solution. If I wrote a milter script for postfix, is it possible to pass the message to maildrop so that it can take care of the formalities such as filenames and formats and tell it to put it in a sent folder? Something like a shell or perl script that uses this line to run maildrop: maildrop -d $user Maildir/.Sent Obviously the message itself will be piped, and the $user will be obtained by copying the from field in the message. Would something like this work? I've been searching on google but haven't found a clear answer, they only mention using maildrop filters and commands there- not actual usage of the maildrop cli.

Hey I just found an old linux hard drive with some movies on. This is formated as ext3. I can mount this with mount_ext2fs command. But if I try to cp the movies over to my normal freebsd disk the kernel just freezes up. I checked all the log files but nothing is logged. Further the disk I want to copy from and the disk I want to copy to are left in an inconsistent state and need to be fsck before I can reuse them again. It seams like an error in the ext2fs.

If you do use an ssh tunnel you may want to use security/autossh which will monitor the tunnel and re-establish it if it loses connection for some reason. You could also look at using stunnel to use a ssl tunnel rather than an ssh tunnel (see http://www.stunnel.org/examples/mysql.html for a basic example) I havent used this on FreeBSD (never needed it) so the port may install an easier way of setting up persistant tunnels.

If you are on a beach moving sand and you pick up one grain at a time and move it, it will take a very long time because the overhead of moving yourself is much higher than the amount of sand moved. If you use the largest bucket or scoop that you can handle, then it goes much faster because the same body motions result in much more being moved.Moving data has a similar dynamic. All the data will get copied properly in either case unless there is some big error.

I am running lighttpd+php-cgi in a jail on a 7.0-STABLE system as of Thu Aug 21 10:59:02 CEST 2008. The problem seems to be that lighttpd stops serving the pages, however I haven't had time to dig into this any more closer, but I have found out that there's a lot of connections to the lighty when it seems to be dead. May be it does not close the connections properly?? The only common thing here is that that this jail is serving a page where a lot of image uploading happens.

Secondly, any userland process can make the system unresponsive, by bad coding. Just write /tmp and /var/tmp full. It's not so hard. I don't think that's the case here though. Any of you guys logging netstat -m output every 500ms?

Recompile kernel or module for ipfw+nat?
Hello everyone, I have a quick question regarding the setup of nat with ipfw. According to the handbook: The following options must be in the kernel configuration file: options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT however, there is a kernel module called ipdivert.ko similar to ipfw.ko for the firewall. Is it still necessary to recompile the kernel in order to use nat with ipfw? Or, to put it another way, is there a possibility to use nat and keep the generic kernel?

Upgrade to rel 7.0 broke SSH
Hello and greetings from Newbyville, I recently upgraded from FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE to 7.0-RELEASE-p4, and now SSH is broken. Other important services (chiefly SAMBA) are working properly. From the FreeBSD server I can successfull SSH and SFTP to the localhost (127.0.0.1). I can also SSH and SFTP to other locations on the network. However, I cannot SSH and SFTP into the FreeBSD server from the remote locations. Attempting to connect from a remote host returns Connection closed by ip address of server. The bottom portion of the debug output is shown below. SSH_CONFIG and SSHD_CONFIG files show that everything is set to defaults. Also, there is nothing that pertains to OPENSSH in /etc/src.conf and /etc/make.conf. I saw one post that recommended going into the Kernel options. On this system, there are no options in /boot/loader.conf and /etc/sysctl.conf. I wouldn't know what to do with them anyways. The misc/compat6x libraries are installed as a bandaid.

If you are on a beach moving sand and you pick up one grain at a time and move it, it will take a very long time because the overhead of moving yourself is much higher than the amount of sand moved. If you use the largest bucket or scoop that you can handle, then it goes much faster because the same body motions result in much more being moved.Moving data has a similar dynamic. I tried playing around with this once, and I found that the speed rose rapidly up to a certain blocksize, then levelled-out for a decade or so and then dropped to half of the peak speed. IIRC in that particular case the optimum range was something like 20k-200k.

dovecot, maildir, UFS 2 performance
I need to install a new server. Primarily it will run apache + PHP + PostgreSQL. Its main task is to serve several websites, and provide web based admin interface for OLTP. The server will have 2xSAS disks in RAID 1 for the base system and 10xSATA2 disks in RAID 1+0 for the rest. The SAS pair will only have 150GB space. The RAID 1+0 array will be above 1.5 TB. I already have a good idea about how to tune PostgreSQL: log files go to SAS and data dir goes to SATA. The secondary task for this server is to be an IMAP and mail server. We will be using dovecot, and shared maildir folders with ten thousands of messages. I'm not sure where to put the maildir folders, and what options to use for the filesystem. Dovecot wiki is not talking about UFS, only ext3, reiserfs and xfs: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir Can you tell me some basic idea about how to configure this? I have some ideas but they may be competely wrong: #1 maildir stores each message in a separate file. I think I need to dedicate a separate disk slice for maildirs and decrease block size on it. How big should the blocksize be? #2 searching in messages is a common operation. Possibly read speed is very most important. But since there will be thousands of files to open, seek operation is also important. On which RAID array should I put mail dirs? Small SAS or bigger SATA array?

For making backups I would probably just use FAT32 and tar, because practically anything (not just FreeBSD Linux) will mount FAT32 file systems, and tar should respect your file attributes (owner, group, creation timestamp, last modified timestamp, etc). Except that you cannot create files with 4GB size on FAT32. You might be able to use an archiver that is able to split archives into smaller parts. This has always been a problem.

On a server, this would be fairly uncommon. On a desktop machine you may decide that (for example) for whatever reason, the FreeBSD port of Firefox (www/firefox) is not working properly for you, so you might like to run the Linux binary of Firefox (www/linux-firefox) under FreeBSD's Linux ABI.

Where does that come from?
On my system it's:
-m32 -march=k8
I have no idea where those came from, this currently is a pretty fresh
6.4 beta install. My make.conf has no such argument. I have always
been fraid of adjusting this value. I'll try mucking with this some.
To recap, my current /etc/make.conf is

Do anyone here have any suggestion about what kind of filesystem would be best to use? Can ufs2 be read by linux? It looks like it from my short persual of google hits, but it also looks kind of complicated. IS ext2 a safer bet? Anything totally different? Have you considered ZFS as an option? It's a good option for a backup disk where speed isn't too much of an issue. AFAIK, ZFS is not yet ready for Linux. That's true and as it stands, licensing issues mean it won't be a kernel filesystem in linux. However, ZFS works fine using the fuse module. I use ZFS as a common filesystem for backup. The only issue is the differing versions of ZFS and which is used to create the pool. use ext2. FreeBSD handles ext2 fine, while linux doesn't handle UFS2 easily. just remember ext2 performance is lower, but for backups, copying etc. it shouldn't matter I'll remember the performance hit. While Linux don't handle UFS2 easily, how much of a trouble is it? I found a text about recompiling your kernel. Do you know if that's still needed? My source was kind of old. Just load it as a kernel module kldload ext2fs Now you are refering to FBSD, I was talking about using UFS2 in Linux. Sorry, I should learn to read. Afaik, ufs2 is read only under linux, write support is available but the module isn't built by default and it's listed as 'dangerous'. /Andreas -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.

I'm using ZFS on three geli encrypted slices, the only problem I ran into was: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/117158 zpool scrub causes panic if geli vdevs detach on last close Thanks for your feedback. I'm going to give it another try. I used to run ZFS on top of geli but I had kernel panics. I changed the providers to normal non-geli disks but still had panics. I found out later that the panics were kernel memory related (kmem_malloc) since ZFS wants a lot. I increased two of the kernel memory parameters and haven't seen a panic again. vm.kmem_size: 512M vm.kmem_size_max: 512M I guess I'll have to try the geli disks again now that the memory has been increased.

Re: My unqualified host name
nyana sm-mta[803]: My unqualified host name (nyana) unknown; sleeping for retry ... sendmail expects your machine to have working DNS and for the machine to have a valid FQDN. Either set that up, or add sendmail_enable=NONE to /etc/rc.conf to disable sendmail ... There is another approach, which is to ignore the message. After something like 3 repetitions, at something like a minute apart, it will give up on qualifying its name. Everything seems to work just fine thereafter until the next boot, when the entire sequence repeats. This leads to the question of how to get sendmail -- or whatever -- into the state where it will eventually land after the 3-miunte delay, without the delay and the messages. It seems as if this ought not be all that difficult. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
