I've been looking at the portsnap shellscript. This error message is generated
by the shell's built-in test command, specifically '[ -r'. It is looking for a
file that was extracted with tar. So the place to look for the bug is IMO
1) the portsnap script itself (differences between 8.2 and 9?)
2) the sh(1)'s built-in test command (ditto)
3) tar (ditto)
When you run 'portsnap fetch' it downloads a tgz archive and unpacks it with
tar(1). What you could try is to comment out the line 'rm ${SNAPSHOTHASH}.tgz'
in portsnap, and test if the tgz file extracts differently using an
8.2-RELEASE tar and the 9-CURRENT tar. If so, that would be a bug!

Poll on server attacks
Hi all, The purpose of this thread is to get some feedback on actions that admins here are taking to deal with ever increasing attacks on servers. I have relied heavily on fail2ban it's really effective and frustrating for crakers, and the notifications help you initiate your inspection workflows. But of course, it doesn't solve all the problems and way too passive for massive attacks on some services like Asterisk. So lately I have opted to simply close down IP block massively using the lists from wizcraft. I know it's a bit extreme but I've had to block all chinese, russian and nigerian ip blocks. And we're still evaluating closing off many other blocks from other lists as well. Is anyone else using such desperate measures? BTW I created an automated script in Perl that works with wizcraft's lists if anyone is interested I can post somewhere... My question is are any of you following up on US, Canadian, and European ISPs? Is it actually useful follow up and write to the abuse addresses? What type of feedback do you get? Do you use any other authority? Does it make sense to report to Local Police, DoD, FBI, CIA ? Do you help feed maintain gray/black lists? Up to now I just write to the abuse addresses as part of my follow-up from the fail2ban and my own log evaluations. My response rate from ISPs has been very low, though it's very gratifying to see that some have ticket systems, and that a few actually respond, care and take action. The majority though, are simply deaf so I've been thinking of pursuing the matter with police and legal authorities, at least for US, Canada and Europe. I can't believe that the majority of ISPs simple ignore my petitions to follow-up on their client's (or employee) abuse. I would like these people to at least be responsible and cover the enormous administrative costs. We are 2 admins in our company and we only have a few servers! I can't begin to imagine what companies with larger server farms have to through every day, and the enormous costs the face to fight off attackers. And that's not counting SPAM, which is a major headache for any organization today. IANA doesn't get involved so I think that at least where we have legal power within our reach, some legal action may get ISPs into being a bit more serious about keeping their networks safe.

About 50% or more of my admin's time goes into fine tuning our security measures, security patches, etc. - that plus about 20% of my time which I could be doing much more productive stuff. For such a small company to me that is a huge cost! You could say that maybe probably don't have all the security expertise, and that's why we invest so much human time into this, but whichever way it's still a lot of lost money. I think that hiring this out would probably be more expensive and in my experience these security experts many time know less than we do - especially when it comes down to our FBSD servers!

System lockups in X with nVidia GeForce 7600 GS (G73) and Gtk+
I'm using FreeBSD/amd64 on an Intel Core 2 4300 (1.8GHz) on a VIA-equipped mainboard. The whole machine is a quite cheap one from a discounter (mainly food). OS is 8.2-STABLE (July 2011). I have xorg-7.5.1 installed with xorg-server-1.7.7_1,1, using xf86-video-nv-2.1.18 configured in xorg.conf. The GPU I'm using is a nVidia GeForce 7600 (G73) which is being supported by the nv driver (as well as by nouveau, see later on) according to the documentation. When in X and _only_ in conjunction with programs using the Gtk2 (Gtk+) toolkit, I encounter _total_ system lockups (freezes): no disk activity, no console I/O, nothing. It even happens during drawing operations. A hard reset is required, which means power-cycling as the cheap PC doesn't have a RESET button. A fsck is required on next booting. I could trigger this problem with Sylpheed, Claws Mail and Firefox. I am only able to do email because I downgraded Sylpheed from 3.1.1_1 to 1.0.6_9 which does use the classic Gtk (which I find more accessible anyway). This old version that _works_ is about to be removed from the ports tree!!! The machine has successfully been compiling the system, X and OpenOffice, so I may assume that it's not defective RAM or broken CPU. The hard disk is new. When the system does not lock up, frame rates for 3D (tested with glxgears and xlock -mode fire) is _very_ bad - much worse than on my old P4 with ATI graphics. I read that the nv driver does not support 3D, so I tried to install the nouveau driver. I did install xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.10.20090728_3 from ports and replaced nv by nouveau in xorg.conf. Result: (EE) [drm] drmOpen failed. (EE) NOUVEAU(0): [drm] error opening the drm Segmentation fault: 11 at address 0x0 Fatal server error: Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault: 11).

So my questions are: Has anyone got the nouveau driver working, and if, how precisely has he done so? Is there an explaination of the lockups (always only in relation to Gtk+ triggering it)? Does it indicate a defective driver or a defective hardware? What do you think? I have _never_ encountered such kind of problems yet, so I'm almost out of ideas.

The GPU I'm using is a nVidia GeForce 7600 (G73) which is being supported by the nv driver (as well as by nouveau, see later on) according to the documentation. My setup is about the same but with a GeForce 7300. I use nv without problems. When in X and _only_ in conjunction with programs using the Gtk2 (Gtk+) toolkit, I encounter _total_ system lockups (freezes): no disk activity, no console I/O, nothing. It even happens during drawing operations. A hard reset is required, which means power-cycling as the cheap PC doesn't have a RESET button. A fsck is required on next booting. I could trigger this problem with Sylpheed, Claws Mail and Firefox. I am only able to do email because I downgraded Sylpheed from 3.1.1_1 to 1.0.6_9 which does use the classic Gtk (which I find more accessible anyway). This old version that _works_ is about to be removed from the ports tree!!! The machine has successfully been compiling the system, X and OpenOffice, so I may assume that it's not defective RAM or broken CPU. The hard disk is new. When the system does not lock up, frame rates for 3D (tested with glxgears and xlock -mode fire) is _very_ bad - much worse than on my old P4 with ATI graphics. I read that the nv driver does not support 3D, so I tried to install the nouveau driver. I did install xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.10.20090728_3 from ports and replaced nv by nouveau in xorg.conf.

When set, nouveau will not work, but it does allow for much newer versions of some graphics subsystems which should give you better performance and possibly stability. As I said earlier, nouveau is to be avoided on FreeBSD. Newer versions of nouveau require KMS AKAIK, so it might be better to revisit that port when support is added to the kernel. -- Adam Vande More ___ 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
