Re: Keeping FreeBSD with custom kernel up to date: freebsd-update no option?
Hi Andreas and Polytropon,
In the case your are tracking -RELEASE branch, you can use freebsd-update
tool to apply binary security patches on your system and upgrade versions
(e.g. 9.0 to 9.1 or 9.x to 10.0 when available).
Freebsd-update tool apply binary updates to your system and GENERIC kernel.
Furthermore, this tool syncs sources (by default). So if you are using
custom kernel, you just have to rebuild and install your custom kernel.
It is recommended to not use SVN to update your system sources if you are
using freebsd-update tool to avoid troubles.
Regards,
Alexandre

Dear FreeBSD savvies
I am (still) struggling to understand how to keep my FreeBSD system up
to date (world/system, not ports). I want to track RELEASE (not a
development branch) and I want to receive security related updates. And
I want to run a custom kernel.
Without actually havint tested it, it seems that if you want
to use freebsd-update (binary updating), you should note this:
In /etc/freebsd-update.conf, you should have the line for what
to update as Components src world.
This should prevent overwriting of the kernel, but you need to
compile your kernel and install it. The component src will
make sure you have the proper kernel sources. I assume a custom
kernel configuration file in /usr/src/sys/{i386|amd64}/conf/
is _not_ being overwritten by freebsd-update.
Use the -r option of freebsd-update to specify the correct
release if required. It should follow -RELEASE-pN for the
currentl patchlevel N (which you intend to follow) normally.
From what I understand I cannot use freebsd-update in this case
because it will invariably either overwrite my custom kernel (if I have
Components kernel in the config file) or not update the kernel sources
in /usr/src/sys (when I do not have Components kernel in the config
file). See [1].
As far as I read from man freebsd-update.conf, the src component
will not exclude kernel sources; kernel refers to the kernel and
the modules as binary stuff.
This is the relevant text passage:
The components are ``src''
(source code), ``world'' (non-kernel binaries),
and ``kernel''; the sub-components are the indi-
vidual distribution sets generated as part of
the release process (e.g., ``src/base'',
``src/sys'', ``world/base'', ``world/catpages'',
``kernel/smp''). Note that prior to
FreeBSD 6.1, the ``kernel'' component was dis-
tributed as part of ``world/base''.
So src will include src/sys which is the kernel sources you
will need to build your custom kernel.
This leaves me with the only possibility to use SVN to update /usr/src,
right?
No, but it might be the more advanced alternative, and it should
work. Note that in _this_ case, you will also have to rebuild the
world, so kernel and world are in sync after an update. Refer to
the comment header of /usr/src/Makefile for the whole process that
has to be performed after updating (or see in the Handbook: the
section about updating by source).
I have a copy of the SVN sources (for the outdated RELEASE-9.0.0
but that's a different story), see below for svn info). As I
understand [2] I cannot mix freebsd-update and SVN, right?
It could cause trouble. Deciding for _one_ way should be better.
So I can run svn update in /usr/src whenever I like. But what then? Do
I need to rebuild the world and my custom kernel every time I run svn
update (and there are some updates)?
Yes, or better: As soon as it is required. This depends on _what_
has been part of the update. For example, kernel updates _can_
require updates of userland programs or libraries, but it's also
possible that it's not the case. To be sure, rebuild.
I'm on a low powered consumer
device and it takes considerable amount of time to build the world and
kernel (plus I still don't feel comfortable doing such tasks remotely).
In this case, use freebsd-update as explained at the beginning of
my message: Update components world and src, leave out kernel,
the rebuild the kernel by source and install it. Then reboot.
Is this really the way to do it or am I missing something?
There are _several_ ways to do it. :-)
There are quite some posts, websites and threads out there (see [3] or
[4] for example) about this topic but (surprisingly?) I could not (yet)
find a conclusive answer.
This is because the answer depends on what you actually want to do
(follow RELEASE, STABLE, CURRENT), and how you want to do it (binary,
by source).

Re: devd wlan wpa
Hi,
There is this entry for the network aggregation in the Handbook
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-aggregation.html
You will be able to switch from wired to wifi card (and vice versa).

Hello :-)
I want to setup wpa_supplicant to start after wlan0 interface gets up.
The rc.conf ifconfig_wlan0=WPA DHCP does the job only at boot. When
I get the interface down I need to start everything by hand, which is
a bit annoying when I test a lot and need to switch between Ethernet
and WiFi interfaces very often. I have tried to write devd rule:
notify 0 {
match system IFNET;
match subsystem wlan[0-9]+;
match typeLINK_UP;
media-type 802.11;
match device-name wlan[0-9]+;
action /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -i $device-name -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B;
};
But there goes the chicken-egg problem - I want to run wpa_supplicant
on LINK_UP event that occurs when Media Status is connected, but to
get that connected status I need to run wpa_supplicant first, so
capabilities of devd are not enough in this case, or I miss something?
Is there any distinction between LINK_UP and IF_UP?
Any hints appreciated :-)

Re: freebsd-update (custom kernel)
I beg to differ. If you run a kernel called CUSTOM, it won't work. And if you run a custom kernel called GENERIC, the moment you upgrade, you custom kernel is no longer custom. All of this aside, I would be interested in hearing how you are able to avoid non-custom updates to your custom kernel when the kernel or os patches are distributed by the update servers. Hi, The freebsd-update tool works fine with GENERIC and CUSTOM kernels. In fact, GENERIC kernel is upgraded during the upgrade step. With a custom kernel, you just have to rebuild it. This tool update by default the source code, the entire base system, and the kernel.

XFCE 4.6.2 : Thunar 1.0.2 always reloads files under /usr/home/user
Hi, On my laptop under 8.1-RELEASE, I have installed XFCE 4.6.2 meta port last week, and I have noticed anything strange. When I open Thunar, my home directory is opened. But Thunar seems to reload and access to a few text files and hidden files and directories (.gvfs, .cshrc...) in my home. I can see that because the access time is increasing every second. And the mouse pointer change continually from arrow to hourglass. At the begining, I thought that there was my text files at the root of my home that were problematic, but I have moved them to another directory under my home, and the problem I always here. At this moment, I noticed that Thunar access to hidden files and directories. I don't think that it is a rights problem because I have given full access (777) to a text file that is concerned by this, and this has not resolved the problem. If I screen another directory, even under my home directory (/home/dir1 for example), the problem disappears. But when I screen my root's home (/home/Alexandre) the problem reappears. I previously installed Gnome 2.30 and I haven't noticed that problem under Nautilus. I uninstalled Gnome but keep some Gnome tools like Brasero, Nautilus or Power Management Tools. I haven't mounted any USB device, or NFS directory. Here my configuration options for Thunar : DBUS=on (default) Enable D-BUS support JPEG=on (default) Enable JPEG support FAM=on (default) Enable FAM support HAL=on (default) Enable HAL support GCONF=off (default) Enable GCONF support STARTUP=on (default) Enable startup notification support PLUG_APR=on (default) Thunar Advanced Properties plugin PLUG_APR_EXIF=off (default) Exif support for the APR plugin PLUG_SBR=on (default) Thunar Simple Builtin Renamers plugin PLUG_SBR_PCRE=off (default) Regular expression support for the SBR plugin PLUG_TPA=on (default) Thunar Trash Panel Applet plugin PLUG_UCA=on (default) Thunar User Customizable Actions plugin PLUG_WALL=on (default) Thunar Wallpaper plugin Best Regards, Alexandre ___ 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: Problem using Portmaster to upgrade installed ports via packages only
First, Thanks Doug for responding to my mails. I don't know (or understand) if I have to set a value to PM_SU_VERBOSE That depends on your goal. Why are you setting this? I thought that PM_SU_VERBOSE will explain the errors about my sudo problem. I can use portmaster with sudo only with the command : #sudo portmaster -options but not with .portmasterrc, or /etc/portmaster.rc I have tried to set PM_SU_VERBOSE=/usr/local/bin/sudo without success If you can help me here, I have read the manpage hundred times, but haven't found where I am wrong. Please copy and paste the parts of the man page that are confusing. That will help me improve it. I think I have misunderstood the using of PM_SU_VERBOSE. I thought that PM_SU_VERBOSE was the verbose mode of PM_SU_CMD. As you describe in your mail, the using of this option is not applied for my case. Meanwhile, you might also consider simply running portmaster as root. There is nothing preferable about running it with sudo, it is a feature that I added because users so often requested it. I have apply your advice, and I haven't got problem. Now I can install ports from packages (if available) or from sources. Really, thanks again Doug for your help, and advices.

The directory /usr/ports/distfiles/ does not contain packages. It contains distribution files, those are usually archives full of source code and other resources that a port needs to be processed. To the OP: If you've already installed KDE4 from packages, the step make in the KDE4 ports directory will first generate KDE, and the step make install will install it. You have to deinstall (make deinstall) your KDE (from packages) first. To the system, it doesn't matter if a program has been installed from ports or packages; packages can be seen as precompiled and compressed ports, while ports per se are the material to create the programs (sources, resources, images, and so on). If you want to create packages from a port (or maybe package) you already have installed, use make package. This will generate a compressed archive in /usr/ports/packages/ subtree. You can install those packages on other systems, for example, without the need for compiling or fetching (a good solution for off-line operations). If this wasn't the answer you were searchig for, try to ask in a more precise way. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

Hi, If your DNS are changed, I think that your network card is configured in DHCP mode.

(I use wvdial, and love it) I've seen this happen on my 3g network as well. It seems that the ISP randomly updates the DNS to a broken one. So write down the DNSs when it's actually working (cat /etc/resolv.conf) and make yourself a little script that updates them back to the working DNSs here is mine for example (adjust to your working DNSs): # cat ./dnsdigitel #!/bin/sh echo nameserver 204.59.152.208 /etc/resolv.conf echo nameserver 57.73.127.195 /etc/resolv.conf So when it stops resolving I just ./dnsdigitel and that's it. Of course, this could be easily automated, etc. but it's a quick fix to your problem. Now, the interesting this is that your ISP does exactly the same as my ISP, it changes the DNS randomly to non-working ones, curious. Best, Alejandro Imass Then if I use an IP, it works. So it looks like it is a problem with DNS. I've tried with an other dns server with the same result. I've also tried with a local dns server to cache the requests. It looks to help a bit. Anyway I also use a ssh tunnel to connect to my server and (on the server) I can see a lot of CLOSED sockets with netstat, and a lot of sshd processes stuck, even after days.

Re: Re : building from source after freebsd-update
That handbook section is where I read: The default is to update the source code, the entire base system, and the kernel. First, freebsd-update tool sync the source. And in fact much of the /usr/src/ does contain source code. /usr/src/sys/ subdirectories seem populated, and some directories under /usr/src/usr.bin/ and /usr/src/usr.sbin/ contain source, while others only contain the Makefile. /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/ contains only the Makefile. Which lead to the make depend error I experienced. It seems like I could build the kernel, and parts of the non-kernel base, but not other parts. After RTFMing, scroogling for days, and going through UPDATINGs and READMEs I'm still not clear on how to mix freebsd-update and building all or parts of the base source. I'm interested in being able to build system apps in the base, custom kernel modules, and eventually the entire kernel. Freebsd-update tool will update your base system and GENERIC kernel, using binary. If your are using a custom kernel, you must reboot on the GENERIC kernel (that have just been upgraded) and do your make buildkernel KERNCONF=yourkernel and make installkernel KERNCONF=mykernel freebsd-update is _extremely_ painless for tracking the security patches. It would be nice to be able to mix this with a certain amount of building source. From the Handbook : This utility provides two separate functions. First, it allows for binary security and errata updates to be applied to the FreeBSD base system without the build and install requirements. Second, the utility supports minor and major release upgrades. This tool is only available for RELEASE, not for STABLE or CURRENT.

I have ran the following commands : # freebsd-update -r 8.0-RC1 upgrade # freebsd-update install # nextboot -k GENERIC # shutdown -r now # freebsd-update install # portmaster -adf Then portmaster program does not recognize by the system. # rehash Does not have effect. Then I have rebooted the machine one more time and I have select the boot option 6 and type boot GENERIC Now the system don't want to boot correctly because it can't do fsck_ufs on /dev/ad0s1a I have download and burn the livefs 8.0-RC1 iso and use the fixit part. fsck_ufs /dev/ad0s1a do the steps correctly then I tried to boot on my GENERIC patched local kernel (using boot option 6 like described above) but I always got the same error. I have noticed that I have got these messages before the boot menu Boot: syntax error on file /boot/device.hints Boot: syntax error on file /boot/loader.conf Also, I tried this : (escape to loader prompt) * *# boot -s OK - It boot on 7.2 kernel # adjkerntz -i OK # swapon -a swapon: not found # fsck -p fsck: exec fsck_ufs for /dev/ad0s1a in /sbin:/usr/sbin: no such file or directory # mount -u / OK # mount -va OK If I rebooted like this method (escape to loader prompt) # boot GENERIC It boot on 8.0-RC1 kernel, but the only command that doesn't passed is # swapon -a swapon: not found After the command : # fsck -p I can access to the login prompt. But when I tried to login with root or another user, I got the following error : login: login: could not determine audit condition Can you help me to repair the errors ? Thanks for your help.

Using an interactive language like Python you can actually *test* the

Yes. I mean that one can directly interact with the interpret in a REPL
prompt, doing stuff like:
import re
devre = re.compile(r'(/dev/\S+)\s+(\S+)\s.*$')
devre
_sre.SRE_Pattern object at 0x28462780
devre.match('/dev/ad0s1d 1012974 390512 541426 42% /var')

devre.match('/dev/ad0s1d 1012974 390512 541426 42% /var').groups()
('/dev/ad0s1d', '1012974')
devre =
re.compile(r'(/dev/\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+).*$')
devre.match('/dev/ad0s1d 1012974 390512 541426 42% /var').groups()
('/dev/ad0s1d', '1012974', '390512', '541426', '42%', '/var')
See how I am 'refining' the initial regular expression without ever
leaving the Python prompt? That sort of interactivity is entirely lost
when you have to edit a file, save it, switch screen(1) windows or type
^Z to background the editor, run a script, watch it fail and repeat.
Then I can keep testing bits and pieces of code:
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
pipe = Popen(['df', '-k'], shell=False, stdout=PIPE).stdout
for l in pipe:
... m = devre.match(l)
... if m:
... print device %s, size %ld KB % (m.group(1),
long(m.group(2)))
...
device /dev/ad0s1a, size 1012974 KB
device /dev/ad0s1d, size 1012974 KB
device /dev/ad0s1e, size 2026030 KB
device /dev/ad0s1f, size 10154158 KB
device /dev/ad0s1g, size 284455590 KB
device /dev/md0, size 19566 KB
So piping df output to a Python bit of code works! That's nice. Then
once I have a 'rough idea' of how I want the script to work, I can
refactor a bit the repetitive bits:
def devsize(line):
... m = devre.match(line)
... if m:
... return (m.group(1), m.group(2))
...
devsize('/dev/ad0s1d 1012974 390512 541426 42% /var')
('/dev/ad0s1d', '1012974')
So here's a short function to return a nice 2-item tuple with two values
(device name, number of 1 KB blocks). Can we pipe df output through it?
pipe = Popen(['df', '-k'], shell=False, stdout=PIPE).stdout
pipe = Popen(['df', '-k'], shell=False, stdout=PIPE).stdout
map(devsize, pipe.readlines())
[ None, ('/dev/ad0s1a', '1012974'), None, ('/dev/ad0s1d', '1012974'),
('/dev/ad0s1e', '2026030'), ('/dev/ad0s1f', '10154158'),
('/dev/ad0s1g', '284455590'), None, None, None, None, None, None,
None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None,
('/dev/md0', '19566'), None]
It looks we can do that too, but the tuple list may be more useful if we
trim the null items in the process:
pipe = Popen(['df', '-k'], shell=False, stdout=PIPE).stdout
[t for t in map(devsize, pipe.readlines()) if t]
[ ('/dev/ad0s1a', '1012974'), ('/dev/ad0s1d', '1012974'),
('/dev/ad0s1e', '2026030'), ('/dev/ad0s1f', '10154158'),
('/dev/ad0s1g', '284455590'), ('/dev/md0', '19566') ]
So there it is. A nice structure, supported by the core of the
language, using a readable, easy syntax, and listing all the /dev nodes
of my laptop along with their sizes in KBytes.
The entire thing was built 'piece by piece', in the same Python session,
and I now have not only a 'rough idea' of how the code should work, but
also a working copy of the code in my history.
Note the complete *lack* of care about how to append to a list, how to
create dynamic pairs of devicename-size tuples, how to map all elements
of a list through a function, and more importantly the complete and
utter lack of any sort of '${[]}' quoting for variable names, values,
nested expansions, and so on.
That's what I am talking about. Shell scripts are nice, but if we are
not constrained for some reason to use only /bin/sh or ksh, there's no
excuse for wasting hours upon hours to decipher cryptic quoting rules
and exceptional edge-cases of black quoting magic, just to get a short
job done. Being able to _easily_ use higher level structures than a
plain 'stream of bytes' is nice :)
Guys,
I eventually found it with lots of rtfm on variable substitution and such..
[...@dada~]$ z=0
[...@dada~]$ y=1
[...@dada~]$ x=aaa
[...@dada~]$ eval `echo MACHINE_DISK$z[$y]`=$x
[...@dada~]$ echo $(eval echo \${MACHINE_DISK$z[$y]})
aaa

Thanks anyway!

scripting tip needed
Hi folks,
I'm having a little problem.
For exambe in ksh:
$ z=0
$ y=1
$ x=
$ eval `echo MACHINE_DISK$z[$y]`=$x
$ echo ${MACHINE_DISK0[1]}
My problem is getting back the value of the variable using variables to
refer to the variable name (confusing). I.e $MACHINE_DISK$z[$y] .
Using ${} works great when you only have a simple array but adding a
variable in the middle of the variable name seems to ruin it.
$ echo ${MACHINE_DISK0[$y]}
$ echo ${MACHINE_DISK$z[$y]}
ksh: ${MACHINE_DISK$z[$y]}: bad substitution
Thanks in advance for any tip
Cheers

My difficulties is to configure OpenOSPFD to distribute routes in this setup, the links failover+loadbalance comes naturally after ospf running. For example, in the above diagram you cannot load balance the traffic, it will always go through the same routers: FW1 and FW3 or FW1 and FW4 or FW2 and FW3 or FW2 and FW4. It will of course failover in case of a FW failure. Yes. Only one firewall is master on each side. I would use CARP on the lan to lan link to provide redundancy and load balancing.

Relayd l3 redirect send/expect check
Hi all,
There used to be a check send string expect string in the old
config method in hoststated. I've checked the relayd.conf man page and
apparently the only way to do this now is with an external script.
I've tried to add the forward to table check send expect
banner string and the relayd validates the config file but always
sets my table hosts down :\ Also a simple forward to table check
tcp won't work.
While snooping the interface to the pool servers I can see that relayd
tries to contact all pool servers in the defined interval and in the
correct port but doesn't actually open a connection, just send a SYN,
the servers answer and then it RST them. The hosts are shown as down
in relayctl.

Relayd (former hoststated) status for freebsd 7.0RC1
Hello all, I remember that there was a port (net/hoststated) where I could install hoststated to use with PF. Anyone can shed a light on what is the status of this software implementation on 7.0?
