PATH problem

[Albert Shih]

Hi all

I've PATH problem with a perl package (I don't knwon anything about
perl).

I run rt (3.8) under apache22 + mod_perl2 and on some p5 librairie I've got
message like 

Command 'dot' not found in /bin, /usr/bin at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/GraphViz.pm 

and yes «dot» is not in /bin or /usr/bin but it's in

/usr/local/bin

So...how can I tell  who ?(maybe www)  to try to find «dot» in 
/usr/local/bin

Regards.

Re: Kerberos keytab

 Does anyone know what is the actual purpose of the Kerberos krb5.keytab

  I have a freebsd 7 configured to authenticate users via Kerberos (both
 apache and ssh).
 
  
 
 Although the authentication between apache and browser is still basic and
 between the ssh client and server is still keyboard interactive. FreeBSD
 validates the account in the background using Kerberos to AD. 

Actually from my understanding (which may very well be basic, but I have
done some very extensive research) browser auth with kerberos and apache
may be possible on firefox 2 and IE6. The older browsers are a dead
loss, but it will fallback gracefully I've read. One thing that makes
this possible is navigating to about:config in firefox and updating
negotiate uri's. In IE6 you don't need to do anything, but that does
increase the security risk (ergo the firefox method of negotiate).

The keytab file (again, only from my understanding) contains the current
keys in use mapped to the users. These change as per the kerberos ttl
settings for tickets.

Check the kerberos site for further, more accurate info, and run a
google search for browser kerberos auth with apache. You do need the
right module for apache to achieve this though- mod_auth_kerb. Some only
offer a link between apache and kdc with base64 encryption.

I'm pretty sure of my facts here, but I'll appreciate a correction of my
comments.

Non-related to the OP's problem, but base64 is a transport encoding and not 
encryption. It is used as 7-bit transport for 8bit (or more) data, like 
attachments (email) and form uploads (web).

Console size and scrollback buffer.

[James Williams]

Hello List,

[On FreeBSD 7.1-BETA2, i386.]

1) How can I change the number of rowsxcols of the console? I'd like
to use the maximum rows/cols available for the 1440x900 screen.

2) How can these settings be made default (takes effect at boot)?

IOW, what is the equivalent of the vga=0x365 Linux kernel option?

3) How I can set the scrollback buffer size (if that's the name) of
the console -- the equivalent of Shift+{PgUp,PgDn} on Linux?

I played around with vidcontrol but was not quite successful.

Thanks in advance.

At boot? Never tried this, but I think there are some kernel
settings that are relevant for this; they'll be documented in
the NOTES files for the kernel.



 3) How I can set the scrollback buffer size (if that's the name) of

In FreeBSD, use the Scroll Lock key (that's why it's there); the
length of the scrollback buffer can be controlled by vidcontrol, too.

Refer to man vidcontrol and its EXAMPLES section.

Make sure the requested videomode is available, vidcontrol -i mode
will tell you.

 On Nov 8, 2008, at 1:40 PM, Ted Mittelstaedt wrote:

  Hi All,
 
OK, I'm just asking for opinions here on some application
  software.
 
Like most people we have a nice big 21 TV set that will be
  obsolete in Feb.  I have been thinking about replacing this with a
  big screen TV set but the prices on them are still way, way
  way out of my budget (I just can't see spending $500 for
  a TV set, sorry)
 

 Why not just get a digital converter and keep using your nice TV?

I had considered that.  Currently my 21 TV has an RF input only, no
composite, no S-video.  I'm feeding it from a VCR that does have composite
input/RA jacks, but no S-video.  I have a DVD player feeding the VCR with
composite output/RCA.

I have a Toshiba laptop that has a composite output  DVD player.  I have
used this to watch DVD's and also AVI files.  The quality is noticably
worse than watching them on the laptop LCD screen.  Of course, sitting 8-9
feet away from the TV set that is hard to notice.

I had originally thought in building the video server to just feed the
VCR with composite output from a video card - in fact, I have a vga
card in the video PC that has composite output.  Then, buying one of
the really cheap HDTV converters and feeding the composite output
of that to the VCR - or maybe picking up a composite-input video switchbox.
But then I started thinking about how ugly such a solution would be.
Worse, the DVD player itself is getting old - it's an Apex - and I've
had 2 other Apexes and both have failed due to old age, now.  Also
the VCR is getting old too.  That is why I was thinking maybe just go
with a cheap VGA monitor instead of a TV set, use a HDTV usb tuner,
and get rid of the DVD player and the VCR.

Really, the idea is that this isn't a permanent solution.  Ultimately
I am planning on going to a LCD tv set.  This is just to tide me over
for maybe a year.  About the only thing that we actually watch on broadcast
anymore is the Late Show with Jay Leno.  And even that is very trying.

The simple fact is that if there was a TV show that I'd like to watch,
I'm no longer willing to sacrifice my time to commercials.  For example,
take Sara Conner Chronicles.  We loved all the Terminator movies and I'd
love to watch that TV show.  But, we are going to wait until the entire
TV show is finished, (most shows don't last more than 8-9 seasons) then
we are going to wait until they release the entire run of shows in one
large boxed DVD set.  Then I'll watch it.  Consider for example Babylon 5.
We bought all 5 seasons of that in one fell swoop - $250 for the set I
think it was.  There's 110 episodes there.  Each one when aired was an
hour - with 20 minutes of commercials.  That's 36 -hours- of commercials
for the entire season and we aren't talking the movies.  Well, I don't
know about anyone else, but my time is worth a lot more than $6.94 an
hour. ($250 / 36 hours)

Now it is true we watched Bab-5 when it aired.  But, that was a decade
ago, we didn't have the option of paying to opt-out of commercials.  And
we also missed a few episodes anyway.  Watching them nowadays, without
the commercial interruptions, it's the way TV should be.  Far more
enjoyable way to spend some time.

We are doing this with Star Trek Enterprise.  Both my wife and I are ST fans
and we tried watching Enterprise the first season.  But we just couldn't
do it.  Having to deal with setting the timer on the VCR (since the air
times were never convenient) was a pain to have to remember - as you
know shows will go to repeats without warning in the middle of a season.
And then watching the show and having to fast-forward through the
commercials was an even greater pain - you just start getting into the
story and it breaks for commercial.  Well, neither my wife and I suffer
from Attention Deficit Disorder where we need that commercial break to
reboot our brains.  It really ruined the stories.  So we gave up and
just waited.  Eventually, as all things in life do, Enterprise ended.
This Christmas we will get the boxed set and start watching it from the
beginning.

Also, more and more of the shows these days are on the web.  If there's
a show we want to watch, why would we want to watch it on network TV
and suffer through all the commercials when we can just stream it off
the same network's website -without- commercials?  Take Saturday Night
Live, well that's not a show I'd really want to bother archiving - it's
really not classic TV - but it is sometimes fun to kill an hour watching
it.  The web is great for that.  And once more, the 1 or 2 national
commercials
you might have to deal with watching the show over the Internet are
far better than the local network affiliate which inserts a lot of

Hey, I saw this one... but I'm not sure how I solved it. Is your

By the way, in order to try if xdm is working correctly it can be
started directly by the command xdm anytime.

Since disk and network card share the same IRQ, does the problem occur if you 
generate a similar load, without using disk IO? Like, put a big file on a 
memory disk and bzip it.

Could be a red herring, but good to rule out.

Invalid address running apps using wine-1.1.8,1

eclipse-cdt debugging doesn't work on FreeBSD 7.0 amd64?

[Mungyung Ryu]

Hello BSD guys,

My system information is like this.
- FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE amd64
- gcc 4.2.1
- gdb 6.1.1
- eclipse-cdt-3.1.2_1

I used ports tree to compile and install eclipse-cdt-3.1.2_1.
Running eclipse and compiling my C++ project are fine.
But, when I try to debug, an error dialog box pops up and says 'Target
selection failed'.
The verbose console mode of the debugger option prints below.

46-gdb-set confirm off

The default debugger option of the eclipse is below.

GDB debugger: gdb
GDB command file: .gdbinit
GDB command set: Standard
Protocol: mi
Connection
  Type: Serial
  Device: /dev/ttyS0
  Speed: 115200

As the error message says, there is no file or directory at /dev/ttyS0 in my
system.

I've also tried another debugger connection option like below.
Connection
  Type: TCP
  Host name or IP address: localhost
  Port number: 1

It prints message like this.

68-gdb-set confirm off

76^error,msg=localhost:1: Connection refused.
(gdb)

I'm using PF for a firewall and opened TCP connection for port 1 and
I even disabled PF, but it has same error.

There is anybody who've had and solved this kind of problem of eclipse?
I'll really appreciate your solution.
Going back to the command line gdb is quite miserable.
I really wanna use eclipse for C++ debugging.

Thanks.

Kerberos keytab

[Ansar Mohammed]

Does anyone know what is the actual purpose of the Kerberos krb5.keytab
file?

 

 I have a freebsd 7 configured to authenticate users via Kerberos (both
apache and ssh).

 

Although the authentication between apache and browser is still basic and
between the ssh client and server is still keyboard interactive. FreeBSD
validates the account in the background using Kerberos to AD.

Whenever you use some command or address some file in a script or within a 
program, you should use the full path - starting with '/' so instead of 
lcalling it 'd' in the script or program, call it '/usr/local/bin/dot'

You can also explicitly add /usr/local/bin to your path and/or your
script's path.  Something like

set path=$path:/usr/local/bin
or set 
path=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/GraphViz.pm

or whatever you want the path to be.

The syntax may vary some between different shells.

RTFM. Specifically look at the -C option.

Or you could do it the simple way (note parenthesis, the cd only applies

(cd /var/web/data/verion/cc.html ; tar -cvf somewhere/html.tar * )

The above does not store the path prefix in the tar archive, which is

Just use cd.  You can use cd in a script just like you would
at the command line.

cd /what/ever/the/source/directory/is
tar cvf ../htmlstuff.tar /cc.html
mkdir -p /where/ever/you/want/it 
cd /where/ever/you/want/it
tar xvf /what/ever/the/source/directory/htmlstuff.tar

This would eliminate the directory tree being recreated 
where you unroll the tar presuming that fantasy path I first cd to
is, in your example, /var/web/data/verion

If you want to preserve that directory path in the new place you do

cd /
tar cvf /htmlstuff.tar /what/ever/the/source/directory/is/cc.html
mkdir -p /where/ever/you/want/it
cd /where/ever/you/want/it
tar xvf /htmlstuff.tar

You can put that in a loop in your script if it can pick up 
the file names and directory paths to plug in the commands.

   eg:

   tar cvf html.tar /var/web/data/verion/cc.html

   untar html.tar /var/web/data/root/cc.html

   Thank you

Howdy folks,
I'm having a little trouble
 understanding
  a
   problem that the `host` command in
 RELENG_7_0
  (very recent)
   is having.
   The '-6' on the command line for
 host(1)
  forces an
   IPv6 only
   connection to your nameserver, not
 necessarily a
    query for the
   hostname in question.  In this case, your
  nameservers
   listed in the
   warnings are IPv4 nameservers that
 host(1) is
  attempting to
   connect to
   using an ipv4 mapped ipv6 address (which
 by
  default is
   disabled in the
   kernel) In other words, don't use
 host -6 for
  this
   scenario.
  
   Yet as I pointed out, the second nameserver
 in my
  resolv.conf is ::1 - so shouldn't it work with
 that?
  It's clearly trying to contact the first and
 third
  nameservers listed.  If the behavior I'm
 experiencing is
  the proper behavior, then let me pose this
 question: when
  would anyone conceivably want to use the -6
 option, and why
  does it exist?  My intent was to force a query to
 hit the
  nameserver on ::1 rather than 127.0.0.1.
   
domain  mydomain
search  mydomain
nameserver  127.0.0.1
nameserver  ::1
nameserver  IP.IP.IP.8
   
The DNS server running on localhost
 is
  authoritative
   for mydomain.  I can ping it via
 localhost using
  both v4 and
   v6, and I can also ping the external v4
 and v6
  addresses
   just fine remotely.
   
As I said, I'm new to IPv6, but
 this
  behavior
   seems to be counterintuitive.  Am I just
 doing it
  wrong?
   
  
   For diagnosing your own nameservers, you
 are
  better off
   using the
   dig(1) utility.
  
   Example:
  
dig ipv6.google.com  @::1
  
   This causes a dns query for an IPv6
 address (aka
    query) for the
   hostname of ipv6.google.com
 using the
   nameserver on the IPv6
   localhost loopback address (::1), and
 will give a
  very nice
   verbose
   output.  man dig for more details.
  
   That is more useful, but still doesn't
 stifle my
  desire to stomp a potential bug in the base
 system.
 
  Right after sending, I realized that I did not
 tell you all
  of the answer
 
  host(1) will successfully query ::1 when named is
 setup to
  listen on
  ::1 in named.conf, and ::1 is listed in
 /etc/resolv.conf (I
  just ran a
  test on my box to be sure that it works this way
 with the
  -6 switch)
 
  Example line from /etc/namedb/named.conf:
 
  listen-on-v6{ ::1; any; };
 
  And of course you need to restart named after the
 config
  change(
  /etc/rc.d/named restart)
 
  To make sure that it is listening on the IPv6
 loopback
  address:
 
  netstat -anW -f inet6
 
  I do not remember the minimum version of bind (aka
 named)
  required for
  IPv6 off the top of my head, but I am running
 9.4.2-P2 on
  my IPv6
  machine.
 
  All of the conditions for success are true, however it
 fails.  My DNS server software is responsing on ::1 port 53
 (tcp and udp), and ::1 is the second nameserver listed in
 resolv.conf.  Still, host -6 fails as previously stated... 
 According to what you've said so far, this leads me to
 believe that it ought to work as expected, and not error out
 in the way I'm seeing.
 
  Am I missing something here?  Is my lack of general
 IPv6 knowledge causing me to blindly assume something
 incorrectly?
 
 If all of the conditions for success were true, you would
 *not* be
 having a problem.  You are likely missing something simple.
 I suggest that you read about about general IPv6 network
 troubleshooting, and bind.  The handbook has some good
 information
 here:
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-dns.html
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/ipv6.html
 
 You have yet to provide any new diagnostic output.  What

  netstat -anW -f inet6

The ``FreeBSD Ports'' framework provides a lot of helpful parts that you
can re-use to build custom packages.  There is a lot of useful material
in the ``FreeBSD Porter's Handbook''.  You can read its latest version
online at

  http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/

Parts of the Porter's Handbook explain how you can create a new port of
your own.

After you have the new port and its dependencies integrated into the
Ports system, you can create standard ``.tbz'' packages with a single
command from the port's base directory:

  % cd /usr/ports/local/yourport
  % make package

That's all.  If all the parts for fetching the sources, configuring
them, and building them are already there, the Ports will do the rest.

HTH,
Giorgos

Console size and scrollback buffer.

[James Williams]

Hello List,

[On FreeBSD 7.1-BETA2, i386.]

1) How can I change the number of rowsxcols of the console? I'd like
to use the maximum rows/cols available for the 1440x900 screen.

2) How can these settings be made default (takes effect at boot)?

IOW, what is the equivalent of the vga=0x365 Linux kernel option?

3) How I can set the scrollback buffer size (if that's the name) of
the console -- the equivalent of Shift+{PgUp,PgDn} on Linux?

I played around with vidcontrol but was not quite successful.

Thanks in advance.
-James.

i don't think it's interrupt sharing problems.

check if producing high load on atapci1 make problem worse or not.

 1) How can I change the number of rowsxcols of the console? I'd like
 to use the maximum rows/cols available for the 1440x900 screen.

In order to use graphical VESA modes you need a custom kernel that 
includes these options:

options VESA
options SC_PIXEL_MODE

You will only be able to use a 1440x900 resolution if your video hardware 
advertises that as a standard VESA mode. Once you are running a kernel 
with the above options you can use vidcontrol to list the available 
options:

vidcontrol -i mode

When you see a mode you like you can switch to it using vidcontrol again. 
For example:

vidcontrol MODE_XX -f 8x8 cp437-8x8.fnt

Replace XX with the number of the mode you'd like to use. Adjust the 
arguments to -f to suit your needs. Other sizes are 8x14 and 8x16. You 
should choose a font to match the specified size and the character set 
you're using. See the manpage for vidcontrol for greater detail.

With a standard kernel you can use text modes like 80x50 or even 80x60 
to get more rows than the standard 80x25. e.g:

vidcontrol -f 8x8 cp437-8x8.fnt VGA_80x60

 2) How can these settings be made default (takes effect at boot)?

 IOW, what is the equivalent of the vga=0x365 Linux kernel option?

Use the allscreens_flags option in rc.conf. For the text example above 
you'd want:

allscreens_flags=-f 8x8 cp437-8x8.fnt VGA_80x60

Similarly for graphics modes, just include everything you'd include on the 
command line to vidcontrol.

 3) How I can set the scrollback buffer size (if that's the name) of
 the console -- the equivalent of Shift+{PgUp,PgDn} on Linux?

I usually do this via the SC_HISTORY_SIZE kernel option. Scroll-lock can 
be used to browse the history in any console virtual terminal.

See the sc(4) manpage for details on this option and the SC_PIXEL_MODE 
option mentioned above.

file harvest

[Jean-Paul Natola]

Hi all,


I have a SNAP 4100 appliance that lost  2 directories, no backup ,  I sent it
out to a DR service and they have told me that all they can do is file
harvest, where I would get a list of files  such as file0001.xls file0002.xls
etc...

With no guarantee of what will come out, now we are a non-profit so 3k with
no guarantees is kind of hard to swallow-

Question is how can I, if it all possible, do a harvest of my own?

I believe the snap uses UFS

Howdy folks,
I'm having a little trouble
 understanding
  a
   problem that the `host` command in
 RELENG_7_0
  (very recent)
   is having.
   The '-6' on the command line for
 host(1)
  forces an
   IPv6 only
   connection to your nameserver, not
 necessarily a
    query for the
   hostname in question.  In this case, your
  nameservers
   listed in the
   warnings are IPv4 nameservers that
 host(1) is
  attempting to
   connect to
   using an ipv4 mapped ipv6 address (which
 by
  default is
   disabled in the
   kernel) In other words, don't use
 host -6 for
  this
   scenario.
  
   Yet as I pointed out, the second nameserver
 in my
  resolv.conf is ::1 - so shouldn't it work with
 that?
  It's clearly trying to contact the first and
 third
  nameservers listed.  If the behavior I'm
 experiencing is
  the proper behavior, then let me pose this
 question: when
  would anyone conceivably want to use the -6
 option, and why
  does it exist?  My intent was to force a query to
 hit the
  nameserver on ::1 rather than 127.0.0.1.
   
domain  mydomain
search  mydomain
nameserver  127.0.0.1
nameserver  ::1
nameserver  IP.IP.IP.8
   
The DNS server running on localhost
 is
  authoritative
   for mydomain.  I can ping it via
 localhost using
  both v4 and
   v6, and I can also ping the external v4
 and v6
  addresses
   just fine remotely.
   
As I said, I'm new to IPv6, but
 this
  behavior
   seems to be counterintuitive.  Am I just
 doing it
  wrong?
   
  
   For diagnosing your own nameservers, you
 are
  better off
   using the
   dig(1) utility.
  
   Example:
  
dig ipv6.google.com  @::1
  
   This causes a dns query for an IPv6
 address (aka
    query) for the
   hostname of ipv6.google.com
 using the
   nameserver on the IPv6
   localhost loopback address (::1), and
 will give a
  very nice
   verbose
   output.  man dig for more details.
  
   That is more useful, but still doesn't
 stifle my
  desire to stomp a potential bug in the base
 system.
 
  Right after sending, I realized that I did not
 tell you all
  of the answer
 
  host(1) will successfully query ::1 when named is
 setup to
  listen on
  ::1 in named.conf, and ::1 is listed in
 /etc/resolv.conf (I
  just ran a
  test on my box to be sure that it works this way
 with the
  -6 switch)
 
  Example line from /etc/namedb/named.conf:
 
  listen-on-v6{ ::1; any; };
 
  And of course you need to restart named after the
 config
  change(
  /etc/rc.d/named restart)
 
  To make sure that it is listening on the IPv6
 loopback
  address:
 
  netstat -anW -f inet6
 
  I do not remember the minimum version of bind (aka
 named)
  required for
  IPv6 off the top of my head, but I am running
 9.4.2-P2 on
  my IPv6
  machine.
 
  All of the conditions for success are true, however it
 fails.  My DNS server software is responsing on ::1 port 53
 (tcp and udp), and ::1 is the second nameserver listed in
 resolv.conf.  Still, host -6 fails as previously stated...
 According to what you've said so far, this leads me to
 believe that it ought to work as expected, and not error out
 in the way I'm seeing.
 
  Am I missing something here?  Is my lack of general
 IPv6 knowledge causing me to blindly assume something
 incorrectly?

 If all of the conditions for success were true, you would
 *not* be
 having a problem.  You are likely missing something simple.
 I suggest that you read about about general IPv6 network
 troubleshooting, and bind.  The handbook has some good
 information
 here:

 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-dns.html
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/ipv6.html

 You have yet to provide any new diagnostic output.  What
 was the result of:

  netstat -anW -f inet6

Sheer panic and blissful ignorance.

[Trevor Hearn]

Anyone that can help, I would appreciate it a lot.

I have a Dell 1950 1U server running FreeBSD 6.3.  It's connected to 2.5tb
of RAID 6 storage via Fibre Channel. I have setup some 2 tb slices on this
array, the problem one being /dev/da0p1. It is throwing errors to the
console when people touch a file or two that seems to be fried. The problem
is that smbd then races to 100% usage, and cannot be killed. CPU1 and CPU3
are pegged at 100%, or close enough. Sigh.

So, what file checking utility should I use for a 2tb slice on a box with 4
gigs of memory? I thought that I had read that you should not use fsck. I am
using UFS2 for the file system.

Any thoughts? Any? :)

Thanks.

Apache.
Check the shell script /usr/local/sbin/envvars. In short, any file 
in /usr/local/etc/apache22/envvars.d is sourced into the start up environment 
of apache, through /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 start up script. Unless a 
module or script explicitly cleans the environment before forking an external 
program, the variabels set at start up are preserved.

The following should work for you:
echo export PATH=$PATH  /usr/local/etc/apache22/envvars.d/PATH

You may want to clean out the path a bit more, pending your security policies.

If you're using mod_perl2, then Apache will default to setting up the

See:

You can modify the perl environment from httpd.conf using PerlSetEnv
or PerlPassEnv. See: 


http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlSetEnv_
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlPassEnv_

Assuming you do mean $PATH -- the executable search path -- that should 
be sufficient to fix your problem.  If you're really after $PERL5INC -- 
the path to search for perl modules -- while you can use PerlSetEnv to 
set that, it's special-cased not to be passed through when running in 
taint-checking mode.  It's generally cleaner to have a startup.pl 
script you require from the Apache conf, and that can have a BEGIN { } 
block where you modify @INC before loading modules.  See


http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlConfigRequire_

or (preferably):

http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/config/config.html#C_PerlPostConfigRequire_

which does much the same thing as a perl 'require' statement -- the 
difference between the two being that PerlPostConfigRequire happens 
somewhat later in the configuration process.

Thanks for your help

 Check the shell script /usr/local/sbin/envvars. In short, any file 
 in /usr/local/etc/apache22/envvars.d is sourced into the start up environment 
 of apache, through /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 start up script. Unless a 
 module or script explicitly cleans the environment before forking an external 
 program, the variabels set at start up are preserved.
 
 The following should work for you:
 echo export PATH=$PATH  /usr/local/etc/apache22/envvars.d/PATH
 
 You may want to clean out the path a bit more, pending your security policies.

Sh.t it's not working.

Event I put 

PATH.env

it's not working.

I'm going to do something very bad ;-)

ln -s /usr/local/bin/dot /usr/bin

Re: open mail relay with ipv6??

Is this an open relay using ipv6? If so how to block the ipv6 relay.
I thought after sendmail v8.9, all relay action was blocked by default.


You haven't given sufficient information to say whether the machine is
an open relay or not.  We'd need to see the configuration files (well,
the .mc file that is processed to produce the eventual sendmail.cf) 
plus potentially the contents of the access DB.  However, you are 
correct: nowadays the default sendmail configuration is to block 
relaying, and you have to deliberately add configuration settings to
enable any permitted relays.  If you're using the default configuration  
shipped with FreeBSD, then it is not an open relay.

This certainly doesn't indicate a message being inappropriately 
relayed. The attempt to send the message is rejected with a permanent 
error code (ie. tell the sender to bounce the message as undeliverable 
and not to re-queue it for another attempt at delivery later).  I think 
it's also doing the correct thing and rejecting the e-mail during the 
SMTP dialog rather than accepting the message for delivery and then 
later sending a bounce-o-gram to the listed sender address.  Google for 
'backscatter spam' in order to understand why the latter course of 
action is a bad idea.

You've got sendmail listening on all interfaces for IPv6 connections.  
This is appropriate if you expect the machine to receive incoming 
e-mails.  If that's not the case, then set sendmail_enable='NO' in
/etc/rc.conf. This will give you a send-only configuration with a 
sendmail listener bound to the loopback address (typically both ::1

and 127.0.0.1)

Have you contacted http://www.overlandstorage.com? They list this

they might be able to help you.

 I believe the snap uses UFS 

A lot of UNIX systems use UFS, not just FreeBSD!

Log into the server with telnet of ssh. Check that it runs FreeBSD by
executing the command 'uname -a'. If so, run 'man fsck_ufs' and read the
manual page! (If the manual pages were not installed, you can read them
on the FreeBSD site instead). Otherwise read the 'fsck' manual page for
the OS in question. Run fsck_ufs on the filesystem in question.
Orphaned files and directories will be placed in a directory named
'lost+found'.

And start making backups!

It is never recommended to change root's default shell to something
outside of the base install.

The main reason is, for example, if you update your non-base shell
(via ports), and it breaks, you can no longer log in as root.  If you
decide you still want to have a non-base shell for your root user,
keep root's shell default, and enable your toor user.

Re: Question on creating a video server

Hi All,

  OK, I'm just asking for opinions here on some application
software.

  Like most people we have a nice big 21 TV set that will be
obsolete in Feb.  I have been thinking about replacing this with a
big screen TV set but the prices on them are still way, way
way out of my budget (I just can't see spending $500 for
a TV set, sorry)

  I can pick up really high quality, large, old-style
video monitors from a computer surplus place near here for
next to nothing.

  I'd like to setup a PC and put a HDTV tuner card in it
for over-the-air HDTV broadcasts, and use that as a TV.

  We also have a ton of DVD's and I'd like to rip these
to video files and put them on the PC.  Then when anyone
wants to watch a movie they just watch it off the PC.
I've already started doing this under Windows and it works
great - it's even better since I can remove all those
movie previews that the studio wants to force you to
watch.

  Has anyone done this with FreeBSD and open source
software, and has recommendations on what hardware to get
and what software works with it?

PREFERABLY cheap - since ultimately we likely will get
a big screen TV set once the prices fall.


I've read the thread and have to vote for a Linux install and MythTV.  
It will do everything you require rather well.  I started down the FBSD 
path for a PVR and quickly ran into trouble back in 2006.  From what I 
understand, it hasn't gotten much better due to the driver issues.  
Anyway, next I tried building MythTV on Fedora Core as it seemed to be a 
popular platform and Jerrod Wilson had a nice guide.  Being from the 
FBSD world where the ports system worked so well, I quickly found myself 
in rpm hell, especially when Fedora Core didn't support my SCSI card 
at the time.  I found a nice home with Gentoo Linux as it's portage 
system is much like ports.


The biggest issue with OTA HDTV streams is that the processing power 
required to playback is pretty significant.  I used an Athlon XP 2800 
and it was barely adequate for HDTV.  I had to suffer occasional skips 
and pauses but it was still watchable.  I have since upgraded to a 
Athlon X2 3800 and the dual cores have really helped out.  One can 
playback while other system tasks are handled by the other core.  
Another issue is that HDTV is huge.  About 8 GB per hour.


However if you have the hardware around and want to give it a try, I 
suggest the HDHomerun tuner.  It's a network attached dual ATSC tuner 
that works well with both Windows and Linux for about $160 as I recall.  
MythTV supports it directly as well.  With that, a spare PC, and some 
drive space you could at least experiment.  And the beautiful part is 
that once you get your nice, new LCD,  you will have already built the 
PVR and will continue to enjoy commercial free television.


I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.  I love my MythTV build 
and wonder how I ever watched TV without it.


Cheers,

Drew

P.S.  I was born in 1965 and remember the way tv was as well.  :)

At least, it's a valid reason. When in trouble, the system just
mounts / as ro where /bin/sh (the system's standard scripting
shell) and /bin/csh (its standard dialog shell) are available.
Bash may be on another partition that's not mounted yet, so no
maintenance access would be possible.

To change the shell, it's not a good idea to fiddle around with
/etc/passwd. The use of the chsh (change shell) command is advised.

In my opinion, you could add bash as the last line of your ~/.login
file which will be executed by csh, so bash starts up right after
login, but NB this may cause problems when using sudo.

bsd.gnome.mk is broken in 6.3-RELEASE ? Cannot update x11 ports ?

[Juri Mianovich]

Clean install of 6.3-RELEASE.

cvsup _only_ ports/x11, ports/x11-wm, ports/x11-servers

Now enter ports/x11/xorg and attempt a 'make install'

Eventually it bombs out with:

===Verifying install for /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/pixman-1.pc in 
/usr/ports/x11/pixman
Unknown modifier '9'

/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.gnome.mk, line 643: Malformed conditional 
(${_USE_GNOME_ALL:Mltverhack:9}==)
Unknown modifier '9'

Error expanding embedded variable.
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg.


I don't really care why.  I'm sure it's fascinating, whatever it is.  Can I 
just get a quick textual fix - some file to edit somewhere that fixes this ?

What _is_ fascinating is that I am the only person _ever_ to attempt cvsup'ing 
the x11 portions of the ports tree and then install xorg.  You'd think someone 
would have done this before now.

Thanks.

The sample /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile states:

# Be sure to ALWAYS cvsup the ports-base collection if you use any of the

You are probably missing an updated ports-base

If you only cvsuped those three ports, you have an outdated version of 
the bsd.gnome.mk file (I checked the recent version and there is no such 
line).
In fact, to avoid any more issues, I would suggest you cvsup the entire 
tree. If you feel cvsup / csup is slow, try portsnap:

Strange messages by fetchmail: Server certificate verification error

[Polytropon]

Hi,

when I installed my new FreeBSD 7 system along with fetchmail-6.3.8_4,
no matter what I do I get these messages:

fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to get local issuer 
certificate
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: certificate not trusted
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to verify the first 
certificate
fetchmail: No mail for foo at pop.bar.com
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to get local issuer 
certificate
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: certificate not trusted
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to verify the first 
certificate
fetchmail: No mail for pups at pop.furz.com

But message retrieval works fine. I do get them from every POP3 server
I have in the list.

On my older FreeBSD 5 system with fetchmai-6.2.5_2, I don't get these
messages, but message retrieval works there as well - with the same
configuration files (~/.fetchmailrc).

How can I get rid of these messages? Is it possible *not* to use any
certification, just the way the older fetchmail version seemed it to
do?

IIRC, when I used fetchmail and saw similar messages, installing the
'CA Root Certificate' port did the trick.  I believe it is security/ca
or something similar. (Not in front of my BSD box ATM.)

First and foremost: this should have gone to freebsd-ports, because
you're indirectly complaining about ports.  :-)  I've changed the
mailing list.

Secondly, this is a very, very common question on the fetchmail-users
public mailing list (not at freebsd.org).  Google returns hundreds of
results for unable to get local issuer fetchmail.  This web page may
be of help:

http://bronski.net/data/fetchmail-eng.php

These messages mean that the POP3+SSL or IMAP+SSL server's SSL certs
cannot be verified by fetchmail.  What you see are warnings, not errors,
which is why fetching mail works regardless.  It's recommended you fix
the warnings.

fetchmail-6.3.8_7, and a couple earlier versions (I would have to check
to see when it was added), include security/ca_root_nss as a dependency.
That port includes a list of common public CAs which certificates (on
the server) can be verified against.  Public CA verification costs money
and ultimately amounts to jack squat (they give you no added form of
security) -- however, public CAs are recommended for public-facing
SSL-based things (HTTPS, POP3S/IMAPS, etc.).  I cannot imagine telling
any of my users Oh yeah, you gotta download our self-signed cert before
it'll work.  The response will be What is a certificate? or Um, I
have no idea what any of that means or how to do it.

That said: there's a good chance the servers you're fetching mail from
do not have their certificates signed by a public CA; possibly they're
self-signed (by their own CA), in which case you need to download a copy
of the CA and tell fetchmail about it.  The server administrator should
be able to discuss this with you -- talk to them.

fetchmail changes severely between minor versions, which is probably why
your other box running an older fetchmail does not induce this error.
I'm willing to bet SSL certification verification was enabled between
the two versions.

non-US keyboard and KDM

I installed KDE and the KDM display manager in FreeBSD.
On my portable I have a non-US keyboard (a european country layout),
in KDE I can set it to the appropriate keyboard layout.
KDM login window is still in US qwerty keyboard, which makes me have
to enter my password with different keystrokes :-) How to set an

Not that fascinating. Only takes a minute to realize that x11 apps depend on 
apps outside the x11 scope and one should *always* update Mk/. The only 
categories that I've had removed from a csup port distribution are the 
internationalization categories. However, after some review of what kind of 
extra traffic these generate, I decided that it wasn't worth the editing time 
of the csup file.
Proceeding with partial ports trees or worse, partially csup'd port trees, 
gives nasty errors that take longer to debug then they save you download 
time.

That's why. xdm can't get the display. Set on to off in /etc/ttys for ttyv8, 
kill -HUP 1 and if the message does not stop, reboot the machine. Then start 
by running xdm from the command line (as root) and

I don't know, but you can set your keyboard layout generally for X,
so you have this layout everywhere (e. g. when you're running
something different than KDE, as well as in xdm or kdm).

Just change your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to fit your needs, according
to this example:

Section InputDevice

Thanks.  There's a specific model that has a watchdog timeout problem,
which is known to cause network drops.  The root cause was an improperly
set bit inside of the NIC's EEPROM (and can be fixed using a DOS utility
from Intel).  Your NIC isn't that particular model, so you're safe.

Your issue appears to be with the ATA controller on your machine having
a very high interrupt rate, and since the NIC's IRQ is shared with that,
any heavy interrupt activity causes the opposing device to malfunction.

I'm not really sure anyone will know how to fix this.  Sometimes a BIOS
upgrade can fix such things, other times motherboard replacements are in
order.

 If your system is having a bad time, falling back to statically-linked

/bin/csh is not statically linked. /rescue/csh is.

More likely trouble scenario is gettext library version bump. However, bash 
can be statically compiled by the port and you can also set $PREFIX to /, so 
it gets installed as /bin/bash.
That said, you should before you change root's shell have dealt with a broken 
root shell a few times, to be able to ascertain whether this extra problem is 
something you want to deal with, at the times you already have a more

 As prad pointed out, you can su -m.  I myself prefer sudo -s.

then taking the correct values from /etc/login.conf. Most notably tilde and

Re: Strange messages by fetchmail: Server certificate verification error

Yes, sorry I did. I didn't find anything to complain about FreeBSD
in particular. :-)



 That said: there's a good chance the servers you're fetching mail from
 do not have their certificates signed by a public CA; possibly they're
 self-signed (by their own CA), in which case you need to download a copy
 of the CA and tell fetchmail about it.  The server administrator should
 be able to discuss this with you -- talk to them.

The mailserver are run by Germany's top Internet company that
brings the Internet to the masses, it's the one with the twi
digits and the ampersand. Quality isn't their game. :-)



 fetchmail changes severely between minor versions, which is probably why
 your other box running an older fetchmail does not induce this error.
 I'm willing to bet SSL certification verification was enabled between
 the two versions.

I think so, too.

Finally, I did portupgrade ca_root_nss to 3.11.9_2, now everything
works as intended. So the problem is solved and I made a written
note to my holy pages how this problem could be solved.

 At least, it's a valid reason. When in trouble, the system just
 mounts / as ro where /bin/sh (the system's standard scripting
 shell) and /bin/csh (its standard dialog shell) are available.
 Bash may be on another partition that's not mounted yet, so no
 maintenance access would be possible.

In single user mode, no login is done at all and the path to the shell is 
asked for. When a system comes to halt at boot, it will go to single user 
mode. If it doesn't make it there, then not much is lost anyway by rebooting 
and pressing 4 when chuck greets you.
The problem is lies with remote logins through means of ssh and being unable 
to change to root, to - for example - change the shell ;)

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.

 During dd if=/dev/random of=bigfile bs=500k count=5 (about 200

 running make buildworld.

And same command with of=/dev/null?
