Add a SSL certificate authority
Hello,
I'm trying to add a certificate authority unsuccessfully.
The Equifax certificates authority seems not to be registered in
FreeBSD, so I tried to add it on my server.
I'm logged in root and in its homedir.
#uname -a

Doing /root/
Equifax_Secure_Global_eBusiness_CA-1.pem = 74c26bd0.0
My goal being to checkout an SVN repository, I re-launch the command :
# svn co https://svn.cyanide-studio.com/admin

I've also seen this in the source code of c_rehash :
while(exists $hashlist{$hash.r$suffix}) {
# Hash matches: if fingerprint matches its a
duplicate cert
if($hashlist{$hash.r$suffix} eq $fprint) {
print STDERR WARNING: Skipping
duplicate CRL $fname\n;
return;
}
$suffix++;
}
But if I launch the command twice, it still seems to indicate that it's
adding the CA.
I'm not sure if I do it correctly, but found nothing more relevant on
google and in the freebsd's handbook.
Can someone point me a good way to add a CA ?

You can just use rsync in cooperation with find command.
I've used it before, but found this as an example with a web search.
rsync -avR remote:'`find /home -name *.[ch]`' /tmp/
Just reverse the order.
this may be close. use the unix tools and glue them together:-)
i have this, cobbled together from a prev script:
echo rsync with checksum from directory [${PWD}] to
[kl...@ethic:${EPWD}];
rsync --perms --times --update --compress --verbose \
--checksum -e ssh -i /home/kline/.ssh/tao_nopasswd-id \
${PWD} kl...@ethic:${EPWD};

then
echo rsync transfer went okay, tao to ethic|mail

else
echo rsync failed to ethic from /home/kline|mail

rsync is probably trying to chown files to ownerships it cant. The best way
I have found to do this and keep things fairly secure it to run an rsync
server on the source machine but bind it to loopback. Then tunnel the the
server over ssh when you go into the box. This allows things to run
relatively safely as root. eg
ssh -R 873:127.0.0.1:873 host sudo rsync -aP --numeric-ids 127.0.0.1::HOME/
/home/
if you just want certain user dirs then add some include and exclude flags
eg
--include=/home/kline -- include=/home/kline/** --exclude=/home/**
ordering is important here.

It can act on is own to incorporate mail from a mail spool, e. g. /var/mail/user. This is often done by a kind of local mailbox selection (in opposite to incorporation from a distant mail box via POP3). For example, I have my system mail delivered to /var/mail/poly. This is the local mail box I check using the Sylpheed MUA (comparable to Thunderbird in many ways). You just need to configure your actual MUA to get mail from the system's mail spool. An extension of this concept, just as a sidenote: I use fetchmail to obtain the mail from my distant mail box via POP3. This mail is then placed into /var/mail/poly - the spool where Sylpheed reads from.

Firebird 2.1.3

DHCP server and bridge, mixed w/ some static IP assignments
I'm trying to add some sort of DHCP server functionality to my router
box running FreeBSD 7.1. First, let me explain the current network.
This is how my rc.conf is currently configured, and everything is
running smoothly:
gateway_enable=YES
hostname=speedy.i
ifconfig_fxp2=DHCP # Connecting to the outside internet via ATT UVerse
cloned_interfaces=bridge0
ifconfig_bridge0=addm re0 addm ath0 addm fxp0 addm fxp1 up # Bridge
consisting of four interfaces
ifconfig_re0=up # My gigabit wired interface
ifconfig_ath0=ssid speedy.i mode 11g mediaopt hostap up # Wireless interface
ifconfig_fxp0=up # 100 megabit wired
ifconfig_fxp1=up # 100 megabit wired
ipv4_addrs_bridge0=192.168.0.254/24
ipnat_enable=YES
hostapd_enable=YES
So as you can see, I have an internal network with 192.168.0.0/24 IP
addresses. Both the wired and wireless are in the same network, and
this is the way I've decided that I want it. All the machines
connected to this internal network are using static IP addresses, even
the wireless laptops.
Now, I'd like to add a DHCP server capability to the 192.168.0.0/24
network, but I'd like to allow some machines to still connect with
static IP addresses (of their own choice, not controlled by the router
via MAC address lookups for example).
So, I'm reading this:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-dhcp.html
under the server section.
And I have a few questions.
First, I look in /usr/ports/net/ and I find both isc-dhcp31-server and
isc-dhcp41-server. The manual says to use the 31 version.
Q1: Which do you recommend? I know that the manual is oftentimes out
of date. I'm on FreeBSD 7.1.
Next, would it be possible to, for example, DHCP-lease out IP
addresses above 192.169.0.127, but leave IP addresses below that as
statically assigned? For example my plan for dhcpd.conf:
option domain-name i;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.254;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
default-lease-time 3600;
max-lease-time 86400;
ddns-update-style none;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.128 192.168.0.253;
option routers 192.168.0.254;
}
And in my rc.conf I plan to add:
dhcpd_enable=YES
dhcpd_ifaces=bridge0
Q2: Now is it legal to assign a bridge to a dhcpd interface? That
would be nice, because then both wired and wireless machines could
connect via DHCP. If it's not possible to do this, can I at least
assign the ath0 (my wireless interface) to the dhcpd interface, even
though ath0 is part of a bridge?
Q3: I have some machines connected via static IP addresses, e.g.
192.168.0.9 and 192.168.0.10. I would like to keep it this way, and
let the clients themselves control which IP addresses they want to
use. Am I allowed to mix DHCP leases with static assignments on the
same network like this?
I'm afraid to get locked out of my router, because right now it's only
accessible over the network. If I get locked out I'll have to hook up
either the serial console via null modem cable or a monitor/keyboard,
which could be a pain.

howto un-chmod 755 /usr/local?
Would you believe me if I said a script I use daily went awry? Is there a list of the proper permission modes for things in /usr/local to get a working system back, aside of starting over? Is there a better way? I've already tried and upgrade from the 8.1 cd, which doesn't seem to have affected /usr/local permissions much (which sort of makes sense), as well as a portupgrade -akfO, which didn't seem to have much traction either. Symptoms: XOrg gives some rather uninteresting info and hangs while still in text mode.

Re: fetchmail ssl certificate verification problem in FreeBSD 8.1
Dan Strick mla_str...@att.net writes: I just installed FreeBSD release 8.1 and rebuilt the fetchmail port. Now I get messages like these when I run fetchmail: --- snip --- I can get rid of the message by removing the ssl option from the user line but then fetchmail would not even try to use ssl. Why would the old fetchmail be better able to verify the server's ssl certificate? Has openssl changed? Where is the openssl certificate directory and why should the information needed to verify the server's certificate be found on my machine? Doesn't the openssl library contain something like a hardwired list of well known certificate authority systems? You already got replies about using the sslcertfile option pointing to /usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt. The problem is that only fixes fetchmail and must be duplicated for each application. I finally got around to looking into how to integrate those certificates into the openssl configuration for FreeBSD, and the following is what I came up with. The openssl configuration in /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf expects all certificates and hashes to be in /etc/ssl/certs, so the certificate file must be split into individual certificates there, and hashes generated. The following steps will handle that. Some of these steps must be performed as root, so all of them might as well be. cd /etc/ssl/certs # create if necessary split -p '^Certificate:' /usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt cert rm certaa # just the file header for file in cert* ; do mv $file $file.pem ; done # rename to certxx.pem perl /usr/src/crypto/openssl/tools/c_rehash . # generate the hashes The above steps are for a FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE, so they might not work exactly for other versions. This also assumes that you trust the certificates in the ca_root_nss package, so you will have to decide that for yourself. I have seen several questions and problems about ssl certificates, so hopefully others will find this useful. -- Carl Johnsonca...@peak.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
