Disk label problem
Hi! Few days ago some annoying things happened. At first I had FreeBSD 7 box with one disk(SATA). When i added another dish (SATA) my box stuck when booting up. Somethink like this comes up: Mountroot And i need manualy mount disk because disk label has beed changed and then edit fstab file. Now i'd like to know if is possible to lock existing hard disk label to prevent this in the future if i add another harddrive ?

A safe like that is a good idea for local storage of backup media while it waits to go into the tape library or off-site. It's a bad idea for storing your entire archive. You really want your backups to be stored in an off-site location. Preferably by a company that has the right sort of secure archive facilities. 'Off-site' means 'sufficiently far away that any conceivable disaster can't affect them.' The gold standard for 'conceivable disasters' is a fully laden and fuelled plane crashing onto your premises. I did once have a setup where 'off site' was a storage company only a couple of streets over, but as their archive was in a former World War II Bunker some 100 feet underground, that was acceptable. Usually you'ld be looking at several miles away at minimum. And I think ... everyone on this list can agree that data not properly backed up, is a fancy way of saying data not yet lost. ;) This is why I'm willing to (and have already) cough up for such solutions as autoloaders for my home storage server, however my last wrestle with ZFS (on freebsd RELENG_7) left me rather less than enthusiastic about the backup options. Tape libraries are horribly expensive since they're not mass market items. They are also intrinsically prone to breaking down or failing to work quite as well as the salesman implied. They're the only viable solution when your storage volumes get really huge, but what is considered huge nowadays is rather more than terabyte scale. If you can get away with just a single tape drive you'll save yourself a lot of money. LTO4 tapes are rated at 800--1600GB depending on achievable compression, so they might be big enough on their own. As image formats are already internally compressed, I'd expect them to come in at the low end of that, which might be tight. Worth trying out if you can get a drive on evaluation. You might want to evaluate getting a bunch of 1TB (or larger) hard dives - -- either USB or hot-swap SATA. They don't need to perform particularly well, but they'd have to be rated for a lot of spin-up/spin-down cycles (so something aimed at the mobile PC market). One other thing you should seriously consider is on-line backup. There are quite a lot of providers out there, and they should be at least competitive with running your own dedicated backup system. They also generally have the advantage of being instantly available if you need to recover anything in a hurry. Someone told me that Amanda should handle this, and I'm looking into it now (especially reading up on what I'd need to do to handle disaster recovery), but other options are welcome as well, including the option of going Solaris (if someone can point me to proper documentation on how to get Solaris to do what I want).

FreeBSD will do the job, although I'm not sure the iSCSI-target stuff is the best available. So will Solaris for that matter, although more likely to suffer from hardware incompatibilites. I really haven't got a clue about how well Windows would perform although I personally would avoid it simply because it was Windows...

LTO4 tapes are rated at 800--1600GB depending on achievable compression, so they might be big enough on their own. As image formats are already internally compressed, I'd expect them to come in at the low end of that, which might be tight. Worth trying out if you can get a drive on evaluation. A standalone LTO-4 might be a good alternative, if I didn't already have the tapeloader. ;) You might want to evaluate getting a bunch of 1TB (or larger) hard dives -- either USB or hot-swap SATA. They don't need to perform particularly well, but they'd have to be rated for a lot of spin-up/spin-down cycles (so something aimed at the mobile PC market). One other thing you should seriously consider is on-line backup. There are quite a lot of providers out there, and they should be at least competitive with running your own dedicated backup system. They also generally have the advantage of being instantly available if you need to recover anything in a hurry. Online-backup-solutions are a no-go for me, alas. Someone told me that Amanda should handle this, and I'm looking into it now (especially reading up on what I'd need to do to handle disaster recovery), but other options are welcome as well, including the option of going Solaris (if someone can point me to proper documentation on how to get Solaris to do what I want). Also checkout Bacula. I've found Bacula quite a lot easier to manage than Amanda, especially with tape libraries. The box itself is a C2D E7500 with 8GB ram, Asus P5Q Premium (the deluxe version with fewer NICs is on the BigAdmin HCL, basically an intel P45 chipset with sufficient number of pci-express slots, and four Marvell Yukon gigabit nics with Marvell Alaska PHY), backed by LSI SAS-MPT for the autoloader and SAS-MFI for the disks, and will handle SMB/CIFS, NFS, and iSCSI services (and the backups of that data). Nothing fancy here, meaning it should hardwarewise be no biggie to get it up and running in FreeBSD, Solaris (or leave it on Windows Storage server if that's the best solution, even if that means the iSCSI-target-service has ... less than stellar performance). So, I'm basically looking for pointers on what solutions to consider, not looking for a pre-cooked solution. I have sufficient external diskspace (still with redundancy) to handle the move-to-new-os-and-fs issue... Thanks again for taking the time to help me out here. ;) Hard to know what to advise OS-wise. FreeBSD will do the job, although I'm not sure the iSCSI-target stuff is the best available. So will Solaris for that matter, although more likely to

confounding finding in print/cups-base (CUPS 1.4.2)
Since I need the GSSAPI (for Kerberos) feature of CUPS in FreeBSD
8.0-STABLE, I was somewhat taken aback when I found the cupsd server
failed to read its configuration file cupsd.conf when the line:
DefaultAuthType Negotiate
was present in that file upon server start/restart. The Negotiate
keyword is the way to indicate Kerberos support in CUPS according to
the CUPS documentation.
Attempting to start the CUPS server cupsd(8) from the command line
as root resulted in this error:
freebsd# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd start
Starting cupsd.
Message from sysl...@itcom245 at Feb 4 10:35:31 ...
itcom245 cupsd: Unable to read configuration file
'/usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting!
cupsd: Child exited with status 1!
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd: WARNING: failed to start cupsd
freebsd# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd stop
cupsd not running?
and in the /var/log/cups/error.log file I found this line:
Unknown default authorization type Negotiate on line 6.
Once line six (6) was removed, the cupsd server was able to start
without error (of course, Kerberos support was unavailable...) :-(
The file print/cups-base/work/cups-1.4.2/scheduler/conf.c has this
section:
#ifdef HAVE_GSSAPI
else if (!strcasecmp(value, negotiate))
{
loc-type = CUPSD_AUTH_NEGOTIATE;
if (loc-level == CUPSD_AUTH_ANON)
loc-level = CUPSD_AUTH_USER;
}
#endif /* HAVE_GSSAPI */
which would normally be controlled by running ./configure at build
time and affecting lines such as these in work/cups-1.4.2/config.h:
/*
* Do we have the GSSAPI support library (for Kerberos support)?
*/
/* #undef HAVE_GSSAPI */
/* #undef HAVE_GSSAPI_H */
/* #undef HAVE_GSSAPI_GSSAPI_H */
/* #undef HAVE_GSSAPI_GSSAPI_GENERIC_H */
/* #undef HAVE_GSSAPI_GSSAPI_KRB5_H */
/* #undef HAVE_GSSKRB5_REGISTER_ACCEPTOR_IDENTITY */
/* #undef HAVE_GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE */
/* #undef HAVE_KRB5_CC_NEW_UNIQUE */
/* #undef HAVE_KRB5_IPC_CLIENT_SET_TARGET_UID */
/* #undef HAVE_KRB5_H */
/* #undef HAVE_HEIMDAL */
Interestingly the Makefile in print/cups-base has this line inside
the CONFIGURE_ARGS section which makes all the above irrelevant:
--disable-gssapi
So, my question is: why is the GSSAPI feature disabled in CUPS
1.4.2 when it was a configurable OPTION in CUPS 1.3.9 last Fall?
What should I do if I desire Kerberos support in CUPS 1.4.2 ??

Not only does it log everything, but it let's you manage php functions on

great. About the only thing I could want more would be to control the

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76740
There is one for-sure patch: Turn off safe-mode.
Keep in mind that future versions of PHP will *not* even include a safe-mode
... because it's a weak bandage giving a false sense of security to hosts who
don't otherwise know how to properly secure their servers.
This begs the question: why? ie: why would you want to run your online
business on a server that's got to use safe-mode in order to think they're
securing the server?
I'm not trying to badmouth your server administrator; rather I'm attempting
to strongly make the point that unless safe-mode is being used for a very
specific reason for which there is no other solution (an unlikely situation),
it shouldn't be used. And, if it is being used, you shouldn't run your
business there, because there will be other security issues to which you'll
be vulnerable but never have a clue about it until disaster strikes, because
the big picture of security protection has been poorly implemented.
That said, Zen Cart will install and run even if Safe Mode is active;
however, you run the risk of certain features not working with or without
notice, and the unexpected appearance of warning or fatal errors while
customers are using the site. And then there's the issue of the admin side
needing to do various things that safe-mode doesn't like.
So, I guess, in short ... you can do it, but you do so at your own risk.
Maybe that's more than you wanted to hear ... sorry

can get in and snatch some data but they would be kept out of a shell's

suhosin.executor.func.blacklist witch will deny use of certain php commands
that allow shell execution... but keep in mind it's impossible to prevent
all breaches... this php patch will only keep the hacker kiddos off but
there's still a good chance it can be broken... stay safe !

It appears that the same sysinstall executable that works fine when run from the installation CDROM malfunctions when run from a mfs platform even though it finds the disk it is supposed to install on.

I don't understand why you are trying to do your own MFS for this. You need to be booted to the MFS for it to make any difference and that is what the install image (from the CD) normally does. If you just create an MFS and copy sysinstall to it, it will make no difference in its ability to modify the labels on the system disks. They are already busy and you would have to reboot to unbusy them and then you lose the MFS. You could muck around and go down to Single User and maybe come up running from MFS and free up the disk, but don't know a way to do that. What happens when the boot or fixit is running is that you are booted to a special filesystem that resides in MFS. The system copies over what it needs from the CD (or floppies) and runs from there. Mainly it is a filesystem and it allows nothing else but the MFS and the boot media (CD/Floppy) to be mounted. Then the hard disk is free to diddle with the labels on. If you do an install of something on to the hard disk, then it creates a mount point within that Memory Filesystem and mounts the disk partition to it. I don't know the naming convention that it uses for the mount points, but it could be anything such as iroot, iusr, etc or maybe something based on the partition name such as mda1s1a, mda1s1d, etc.Maybe they make an mroot and then put the rest of the mount points in that mroot directory just like they will be in a running system. So, if there are more than root partitions they would look something like /mroot, /mroot/tmp, /mroot/usr, etc. Guess I should poke around sometime and see what they call them - sometime when I have a lot of extra time. The system uses these to install the software and then when it reboots, these temporary mount points disappear and when the new system comes up, it just uses the mount points written in the /etc/fstab file (or in the /mroot/etc/fstab file before the reboot when still doing the install) This is rambling too much. The point is that MFS is only meaningful in this situation if the system is booted and running from it. It does not mean anything to sysinstall otherwise. There are other uses for MFS such as a handy device for creating these boot images, but that has little bearing on how sysinstall runs. jerry Martin McCormick ___ 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-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Either way, the system that comes up is not connected in any way to the hard drive. That is what I thought one had when booting from the CDROM. The only difference is that one is in multiuser mode under mfs and single user mode when booting the CDROM. That difference may be the problem. It just occurred to me that one of the messages you see as sysinstall starts up is that it is probing devices. Since many of those devices are part of mfs, this may be how things go wrong. Sysinstall may see a device that essentially breaks its idea of the hard drive and where it is. I have never been so confused about something that seemed so straight-forward. Thanks for your help.

X11/freebsd problem

following sort of error everytime it starts up:
(pts/2):{14}% Xlib: extension Generic Event Extension missing on display
:0.0.
Xlib: extension Generic Event Extension missing on display :0.0.
Usually, that 2nd line shows up 6 to 12 times, I trimmed the repetitions for
brevity. Anyone got any idea what this sort of error is? If it isn't a fairly
common sort of error, I think I'll hunt to see if maybe there's an Xorg mailing
list I could use. I think that the error originated during the period when I
was writing a X11 graphical tablet driver, but it never (until now) seemed to
actually get it the way. The version of X I was using is completely gone now,
and when I found out that the cut-rate graphical tablet itself was too defective
to give me a good basis for the driver, well, the driver is history now too
(except for all the stuff I learned, very useful!)
Thanks. This all came up as I've been searching for a sound player with a good
GUI, and that's what triggered the error this time (the audacious port).
