Re: Foiling MITM attacks on source and ports trees
Unless designed carefully, there will be substantial logistical problems to maintaining such lists of signatures. ... You can then verify the correctness of what's on your disk ... The idea is that one needs to get this public key only once ... IMHO, this could or should take place at the subversion server itself. This problem has already been solved in the form of Git*. Now whether FreeBSD can/will migrate to Git or an equivalent for version control is another question. The security benefits would result even if a trusted person (the FreeBSD security team, maybe?) maintained a git mirror of the CVS/Subversion/Whatever repository. Git avoids the issue of versioned lists of signatures by simply making the version history of the repository an unbroken chain. If any link in history is changed, the sha1 checksums no longer compute. By simply verifying a sha1 hash, you can be assured (at least, as assured as [that implementation of] sha1 can make you feel) that the files at that point in time and all their prior history are exactly the same on your computer as what's on the distribution server. No lengthy lists or checksum tuples are required. The checksums are built in to the version control itself. Git also provides a mechanism for cryptographic sign-off of tags, which would provide the public/private keyed infrastructure you're trying to (awkwardly) replicate with SSL and PKI. The combination of sha1-strength history integrity verification and cryptographic tags mean all the information necessary to validate your on-disk source tree (and its history) is widely available and easily verified even if obtained from an untrusted source. You will need a secure means of obtaining either a (single) sha1 hash or a public key, but everything else can e verified once you have that small bit of very public (and therefore difficult to forge) information. Even if Git isn't the answer, it's at least worth stealing some of their ideas. * http://git.or.cz ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Foiling MITM attacks on source and ports trees
someone like the FreeBSD Foundation as an appropriate body to own the cert. OT I would actually trust a self-signed cert by the FreeBSD security officer, more then one by Verisign. of course. there is no need to have an authority to make key pairs, everybody do it alone. actually i would fear using such keys because i'm sure such companies do have a copy of both keys. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Can I somehow have interfered with that mechanism? The following things DO work though: - Setting PHPRC to /usr/local/etc (as described in php.ini) and restarting Apache loads /usr/local/etc/php.ini correctly. - CLI version works correctly regardless of PHPRC: # php -i | grep php.ini Configuration File (php.ini) Path = /usr/local/etc Loaded Configuration File = /usr/local/etc/php.ini No errors are listed in any log-file and I've been banging my head against the wall for four days now trying to solve this...

Personally, I do prefer them. But as you know, you can't always use them (you mentioned the reasons above). You can, for example, put a collection of already compiled software on a CD or DVD in the common tbz form and then install them on another system (that may have no Internet access). The advantage is that you have your software running right after install, no time is needed to build from sources. Binary packages aren't always up to date (they're not compiled with every change in the port's source code), so if you're requiring bleeding edge software, using the ports and building from source is the better way to go. But if you intend to once install a system and then let it run, there's no problem using software from binary packages.

Transparent SOCKS proxy (server side)?

I would like to set up a transparent SOCKS proxy (similar to transparent HTTP proxy, aka squid) on the server. Does anyone know how to do this (and which ports to use)? This needs to be a server side solution since I am unable to implement this on the clients... I know there is a Linux specific program that does this, called KSB [http://ksb.sourceforge.net] that looks like what I would like, except the wrong OS :-( Regards David signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I'd suggest trying with all the security turned off if you haven't already to see if you can connect at all, and then reintroduce the security measures later. Thanks for your reply. Your config is identical to mine. I think something fishy is going on here but don't know what it is - yet.. The router is a Netgear WNR854T. Have you tried running without WEP or WPA and with the router broadcasting the SSID, to test whether that's the issue? Yes, did that. In all the cases I've tested iwi is associated but no IP. Several XP boxes works fine with same router and settings. A guess then would be that the problem lies with the routers DHCP server rather than the wireless. Now back home, I tried same config with our Linksys router and no problem. I could not find anything odd or unusual in the setup for the Netgear so why this happened is still obscure to me. Well that leaves me a bit stumped too I'm afraid. It could just be a compatibility issue with the router - possibly worth noting that I'm also successfully using a Linksys here.

The same code works fine under Linux. Is there a trick for doing this kind of thing under FreeBSD? What you're trying to do with sending to the all-ones broadcast address is known as sending a link-local packet. On some systems, sending a UDP packet to 255.255.255.255 will actually cause a packet with that destination to be generated from all network interfaces which are UP. That seems to be the behavior you are expecting. On FreeBSD, IIRC, the behavior you get is that it will send to the local network broadcast address for each interface [1] using the network broadcast address (ie, if an interface is configured for 10.1.1.1 with /16 netmask, the packet will have destination 10.1.255.255). If an interface is UP but not configured with an IP +netmask, I don't believe a packet will be sent. (In fact, it might depend upon whether the BROADCAST flag is enabled, which gets set when an inet-enabled interface is setup with a netmask...) Arguably, this is a bug in FreeBSD, but you can work around it by using the BPF interface to send the traffic directly rather than using the network stack via socket()+send()/write(). I believe the ISC DHCP server software provides examples of how to do this, as dhclient is commonly used to send DHCP requests to the all-ones broadcast addr, without needing an interface being configured with an IP -- -Chuck [1]: And I could be mis-remembering that part; it might do a routing table lookup and use only the interface which matches the destination IP, which is probably the default route. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I have not been able to find such a program (and the above socks clients only act as a wrapper for other programs?). Perhaps a simple program that gets the redirected incoming traffic [like squid does] but then just connects to the destination server (with a socks wrapper doing the routing through the socks server)??? Or just a socks based solution?

RE: Do UDP broadcasts work in FreeBSD?
What you're trying to do with sending to the all-ones broadcast address is known as sending a link-local packet. On some systems, sending a UDP packet to 255.255.255.255 will actually cause a packet with that destination to be generated from all network interfaces which are UP. That seems to be the behavior you are expecting. Yes it is. This is the behavior I've seen on every system I've used for 20+ years, except for FreeBSD. On FreeBSD, IIRC, the behavior you get is that it will send to the local network broadcast address for each interface [1] using the network broadcast address (ie, if an interface is configured for 10.1.1.1 with /16 netmask, the packet will have destination 10.1.255.255). If an interface is UP but not configured with an IP +netmask, I don't believe a packet will be sent. (In fact, it might depend upon whether the BROADCAST flag is enabled, which gets set when an inet-enabled interface is setup with a netmask...) In our case our systems have no IP identity of any kind, and we don't want to have to rely on whether or not our customers have a DHCP server available. So we've come up with our own light DHCP. It works fine for Linux and Windows. Not FreeBSD though. Arguably, this is a bug in FreeBSD I don't think there is any doubt about that. And from what I understand it even used to work under FreeBSD a few years ago. but you can work around it by using the BPF interface to send the traffic directly rather than using the network stack via socket()+send()/write(). I believe the ISC DHCP server software provides examples of how to do this, as dhclient is commonly used to send DHCP requests to the all-ones broadcast addr, without needing an interface being configured with an IP I've already looked at the ISC DHCP source code. They use raw sockets to send their broadcasts, which seems to us to be a convoluted way of sending a simple broadcast. I've seen examples of DHCP client/server code written in Java using standard UDP. Unfortunately, our own system is already largely implemented in Java/Python, so we'll need to provide a JNI interface to support raw sockets. Alternatively we may patch the kernel to fix the bug at its source. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
mergemaster goof when src upgrading 7.0 - 7.1
I was doing a src upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1 After installkernel, i rebooted, and accidently ran mergemaster instead of mergemaster -p before installworld. I ctrl-c'd once I realized what I had done, but the damage was done. It seems to have overwritten my password and group files. I successfully copied groups, passwd, master.passwd, pwd.db, and spwd.db from a recent backup and everything looks okay now. Did I damage anything else? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
FreeBSD 7.1, nvidia-driver, GeForce 8500 GT
Dear all, I have just installed FreeBSD 7.1 Release on a machine with a GeForce 8500 GT (I think this is the card, but more about that later...) and an LCD screen with a native resolution of 1680 x 1050. Xorg works fine with the standard nv driver. However, if I try to install the x11/nvidia-driver (which should bring better graphic performance, right?) I get a total system freeze when I start the X server. Here are the details of what I have done: 1) install x11/nvidia-driver 2) add nvidia_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf 3) modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf by substituting nvidia to nv in the Driver line. At this point (after rebooting), if I start the X server with startx, I get a black screen and the system *completely* hangs (neither ctrl-alt-backspace, nor even ctrl-alt-delete work). The only way to get back the system is to power it off and on (which corrupts the filesystem because it has not been properly dismounted). I also looked at the xorg log file in: /var/log/Xorg.0.log Interestingly it seems to detect the card as a GeForce 9500 GT rather than a 8500 GT (which makes me wonder whether I got the right info from the vendor receipt): (--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device (--) Chipset GeForce 9500 GT found But this should not be an issue because in the same log file it says that both GeForce 8500 GT and GeForce 9500 GT are supported by the nv driver.

RE: Do UDP broadcasts work in FreeBSD?
I've already looked at the ISC DHCP source code. They use raw sockets to send their broadcasts, which seems to us to be a convoluted way of sending a simple broadcast. I've seen examples of DHCP client/server code written in Java using standard UDP. Unfortunately, our own system is already largely implemented in Java/Python, so we'll need to provide a JNI interface to support raw sockets. Alternatively we may patch the kernel to fix the bug at its source. Another option we're considering is to use the firewall to detect broadcasts and rewrite the MAC addresses in the outgoing packets. In looking at tcpdump output of broadcasts, the IP address is set to 255.255.255.255 and the MAC address is set to the MAC address of the gateway. On Linux boxes the MAC address is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, and that's the only significant difference in the packet. We thought we might be able to come up with a firewall rule to detect broadcasts and change the MAC address to the same as what Linux uses. I'm still in the process of researching this, but if someone can tell me this is impossible, I'll move on. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: FreeBSD 7.1, nvidia-driver, GeForce 8500 GT
Hello, well that is interesting. I do have 4 Gigs of RAM but I thought that the nvidia driver would not work only if the 64 bit version of FreeBSD was installed. I installed the i386 version, so I assumed that I was just wasting some memory. In case I would want to use the nvidia driver, would you suggest to remove 1GB stick of RAM? thank you very much On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 11:21 PM, Paul Procacci pproca...@datapipe.com wrote: Giuseppe Pagnoni wrote: Dear all, I have just installed FreeBSD 7.1 Release on a machine with a GeForce 8500 GT (I think this is the card, but more about that later...) and an LCD screen with a native resolution of 1680 x 1050.

Upgrade a USB-stick contained system
Hi everyone, I run numerous systems (mostly networking gear) from 2GB USB thumb sticks. These systems do not have hard disks. To update one of these systems, I'd generally copy the thumb drive filesystem to a hard disk in another PC, upgrade it, and then transfer the necessary data back to the USB drive. I'd like to change this approach. What I'd like to do, is boot the USB drive in another machine that has a hard drive, and mount any necessary directories for the duration of the upgrade into the USB drive (such as /usr/src, /usr/ports etc) from the hard drive. When I'm done, the cruft stays on the physical hard disk, while the upgraded system on the USB drive is physically replaced back into the original system. This is purely a disk-space issue on the USB disk. What I want to know, is *exactly* what _working_ directories/filesystems are required to build a new system... working directories that can be dissolved with no repercussions by using umount.

Remember that certs are used establish a trust relationship ultimately leading to a legally binding sale/purchase agreement. If I don't trust the Chamber of Commerce of the country in question, I certainly don't have a reason to do business with that company. In fact, having a 3rd party obscure the origin of the company is misleading, as in case of conflict, what exactly are your rights and how would they be resolved? Is this company even allowed to do business under this name/with these products, etc etc. Not to mention that to manage these so many CA, you need an infrastructure that is yet to be deployed. Actually, the infrastructure is already there. District governments already have an infrastructure to verify the identity of a person. Companies like Verisign had to implement this seperately. The thing that's missing is that governments do not see their responsibility. Yes, I do realize that the newly created CA's would have to be added to the list of trusted CA's for SSL clients. In a transitional period, this could be done backwards compatible by temporarily chaining to a root CA that's already known. Perhaps this technology even needs to be revisited as the potential list can outgrow the intent of the current scheme. However, I don't consider this a bad thing(tm).

setfib+pf
Hello, I'd like to ask on the best options for using setfib and pf in a non-BGP environment. I will run 2 uplinks, with VLANs for internal networks and want to fail over external links if one of them fails. Currently pf supports to the best of my knowledge: a) rtable - this means i can create the routing tables with setfib and then use pass from rtable N( N 1 16) or give out directly network ranges b) route-to - pass in/out on X from ... route-to c) packet tagging - i can tag networks and use standalone or through routing tags. Anyone aware if is it ok to use /etc/gateways without running routed or how can i label routes alternatively? d) pass in from route N(192.168.1.1 from example) to... - saw this on http://www.mail-archive.com/p...@benzedrine.cx/msg07220.html and requires BGP to make tags speak anything but network numbers. e) use the vlan id's I'd much appreciate if someone thinks with me for the best options of using the setfib features along with pf.

With 15-18% CPU every second of process TIME should correspond to ~6secs of real time, and in my case it's only ~1.6sec of real time. Why CPU field is so low?
