Note that allowing other users to access your X session like this means they can snoop on anything you do in that session, including recording any passwords you type and so forth. Don't give out such access except to people you trust.

making photoalbums for web pages
Hi, I've updated yesterday the laptop of my wife to FreeBSD 10-CURRENT and ports fromm SVN head, all fine with one exception: she is used to make photoalbums of the pictures (JPEG) and publish them on my webserver; she selects in kphotoalbum the pictures she wants (by clicking them) and the application puts them together, with thumbnails, to a tree which just goes per SCP -rp to our webserver; since the update she is without this application because the KDE3 version does not exist in head and the KDE4 version does not compile even :-( Is there any other tool for this?

The attackers replace Apache, probably patching the source code and replacing the host's with a trojaned copy. If they're patching the source code, then yes, FreeBSD, Windows, OS X, Solaris, OpenBSD, et al are possibly infected. I am not sure that is the case from the research I have been doing on this topic. For example there are reports of it being detected on lighttpd, nginx and systems that do not use cpanel: http://www.welivesecurity.com/2013/05/07/linuxcdorked-malware-lighttpd-and-nginx-web-servers-also-affected/ If anyone has a better rundown of this it would be great if you could point me in the right direction. I am having problems finding a proper examination/explanation of this backdoor. As far as I can follow from the articles I have read the exploit involves replacing the apache/lighttpd/nginx binary, this should require root privileges which indicates you have much bigger problems anyway. As Joshua's reply stated they seem to be patching apache/lighttpd/nginx so in theory at least cdorked could probably be complied for FreeBSD, however as yet I haven't heard of any cases of this happening, my guess at this time would be that the malicious binaries have only been compiled for Linux since this has a much greater deployed base to attack.

You could also make a chroot, install normal bins from src,
install all your ports, ^D to exit chroot, then do a compare strip with eg:
cd chroot ;
find . -type f -exec cmpd -d {} / \;
# compare delete http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/jhs/bin/public/cmpd/
find . -type l | xargs rm
find . -type d -depth -exec rmdir {} \;
find . -type f -print | sort | more
then consider what got trashed, where, maybe why,
then reinstall from ports, or crudely
cd /chroot/var/db/pkg ; tar cf - */+CONTENTS| (cd /var/db/pkg tar xf -)

This file can easily be fed into a batch-process command / script. It does *not* offer any other features, such as sharpening, crop, red-eye, color adjustment, etc. If you use the dcraw in ports, it does not do 'auto orient', so if your wife is shooting with this feature disabled on her camera the images _may_ appear sideways. I have an updated dcraw-m that reads the orientation information and rotates the preview image, but otherwise it works fine, it's perfectly usable without it. :) Also might check out this 'beenie' program that I use to automatically download cards onto the computer. Basically after a shoot I can stick in 4 SD cards at once and the software automatically creates folders with the date, and copies the contents and pre-processes the files. (I use it for video, I realized I was spending alot of time loading one card after another and copying the contents, etc). It's more of a hack-type program, but I've been using it for about a year without trouble.

9.1-STABLE with xterm-292 oddity
Recently (last week) I upgraded two systems to 9.1-STABLE. One system is i386 and the other is amd64. The upgrades were done about one day apart. While I have not checked every single commit, for the purposes of this problem, I am assuming these two systems have the same ports, src, and docs changes applied. This is how I began these upgrades: % cd /usr % rm -rf src ports doc % svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 src % svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/doc/head doc % svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head ports Note: these systems are desktop systems, not headless servers. The hardware of both systems is nearly identical, in particular, the graphics card (ATI) is identical on each system. After each upgrade, I wiped all my ports and rebuilt all the ports on the list of ports I use on these systems. While these two lists are slightly different, the basics are the same in both cases. I run Xorg on both systems along with open-motif and xterms: xorg-7.5.2 open-motif-2.3.4 xterm-292 The /var/db/ports/xterm/options files on both systems are identical. # This file is auto-generated by 'make config'. # Options for xterm-292 _OPTIONS_READ=xterm-292 _FILE_COMPLETE_OPTIONS_LIST=256COLOR DABBREV DECTERM GNOME LUIT PCRE WCHAR OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=256COLOR OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=DABBREV OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=DECTERM OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=GNOME OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=LUIT OPTIONS_FILE_UNSET+=PCRE OPTIONS_FILE_SET+=WCHAR Also the /usr/ports/x11/xterm/work/xterm-292/xtermcfg.h files are the same on both systems. The oddity is this: on one system, when I iconify/minimize/close an open xterm window, the resulting small icon window holds a pixmap (48x48) that is monochrome. It resembles an outline drawing of an old style dumb terminal. On the other system, when I perform the same operation (close/iconify an xterm window), the resulting small icon window contains a color pixmap (48x48) of our Beastie! While I have an .Xdefaults file in my home directory on both systems, and there are XTerm resources configured therein, I do not configure any resources that control xterm icons. In fact, those .Xdefaults files are identical in the XTerm resource lines. I have rebuilt the x11/xterm port on the system with the color Beastie pixmap for closed/iconic xterm windows using the following steps: # cd /usr/ports/x11/xterm # make deinstall # /bin/rm -rf work # make install The results are the same as before, unfortunately. Interesting enough, one can see the color Beastie pixmap _inside_ the unstripped xterm executable on each system using this command: % strings /usr/local/bin/xterm | less The Beastie embedded pixmap appears after scrolling to about the 83% point (and runs up to about the 93% point) of the strings output. I am at a loss as to how one system is displaying the unwanted color pixmap while the other is showing the desired monochrome pixmap. Any ideas, or suggested avenues for further detective work, on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I wish all were, it would keep spam out. To allow a free-er environment for us than that might first give: Taking the syntax of majordomo as an example to illustrate an idea in (I know Freebsd.org moved on to Mailman, but I'm assuming/ hoping Mailman is at least equally as flexible as Majordomo; as I'm an administrator for Majordomo lists, have tried the idea below seen it work, I can quote syntax for it correctly) Given a list eg scsi@freebsd might exist that happended to go from open to restrict_post = scsi ie write only for subscribers, it could easily be made eg restrict_post = scsi questions hackers So others in eg questions who had occasional scsi specific questions could be referred to post there without person needing to subscribe to scsi@ as a regular ( agreed, just hope all respondents CC the OP, if OP is too lazy/ busy to subscribe eg scsi@). Most list config files could do that, so it would be equally possible for eg someone subscribed to hardware@ to answer a question posted to questions@, even if the answering hardware@ person was not personaly subscribed to reading every post to questions@. questions@ could have a questions.config with something like: restrict_post = questions hackers current ports scsi etc Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, like a play script.
