Advice: "The Right" authentication method
I'm working on writing the "Control Panel" scripts which subscribers to our ISP will use to set up their eMail accounts and web space. Here's the Server spec: FreeBSD-Current; Perl 5.6.1, no problem installing any needed modules; Apache 2; I'm keeping ordinary customers off the machine, so I run Postfix and Cyus and use sasl2 for customer passwords. I'd like to use these ID to arrange access to the control panel system. I'm stuck at the very start of my design process. I have two tasks to do: Verify that users have supplied the correct password; and let the perl scripts know who that visitor is, so that we can select the correct accounts to show. Do I use SASL directly? or LDAP? or do I implement an Apache module to handle access and let Apache do the work? I want to do "The right thing" - that is, the most general and correct thing possible, I've got years of experience in perl scripting, but at the moment I wandering around in a twisty litte maze of standards, all different. Clue, please?

Well, if you installed those applications from ports you would currently get apache 1.3.31, php 4.3.8 and mysql 4.0.20 (assuming you chose the mysql40-server port and not 41-server or 50-server).

Way OT: How long does your box run for?
The other day I was explaining something to my boss (a suit), and I mentioned that a FreeBSD box would easily run for a year or more. "Oh", he said, "and then you've got to reboot it?". I explained that generally some upgrade comes along that reqwuires a reboot, but I realized that I don't know how long a box would stay up in the maximum.

While I can't, personally, verify this "at the code level", I can say from experience, that ALL packets go through the firewall. Whether or not the firewall "handles" and of the packets is simply a matter of your ruleset. Using IPFW, if the packets do not match any rules, they'll simply pass in one side of the packet filter, and out the other. With the setup you describe, you can easily ensure that the packets never get altered by having a "via" clause in all your rules. For example, if your sniffing interface is fxp0 and your management interface is fxp1, then rules similar to: ipfw add drop tcp from any to any 25 via fxp1 Will _never_ match a packet that comes in or goes out through the fxp0 card.

When they are ready to upload the data to our server, they dock the scanner in the cradle. The cradle is connected to a 56K US Robotics modem. We wrote the scanner application using 16bit C compiler (because the scanners are DOS based). We're using a Y-Modem protocol to upload the data files. The scanner dials into a modem pool to upload the data. When a connection is established, LRZ is used to receive the data files from the scanner. With smaller files (7K and smaller), this works fine. I've tried uploading a 12K file. After uploading 8K, the scanner returns an NAK error. This error keeps repeating until the scanner gives up and the upload fails. I've tried a 24K file, it fails after 16K. I've tried a 56K file and it fails at 16K. NAK error each time. I've tried the above scenario on FreeBSD 4.7 and FreeBSD 5.2.1 about 30 times for each file size, with the exact same result each time. I had a very similar problem about 10 years ago. Macs trying to send mail just hung when they had more than x lines of text. It turned out in the end that the then MacOs TCP/IP stack was ignoring the stated MTU, and just tried to send the whole thing in one huge packet. On dial-up, this overflowed the kernel IO buffer size, and hung the process. In the end I looked at the serial port handling code in the kernel, and the buffer size was sensible for a 1990-era machine with 64MB of ram, being about 1K each. Since we had plenty of RAM on the boxes, I sacrificed a bit by upping the buffer size define to something big (I think 64K), rebuilt the kernel and the problem went away.

Re: Sendmail for Large Sites

At this moment, everything is more or less on the table, but what I envision is 25,000 work stations or so, each using Microsoft Outlook and several Sendmail servers serving the multitudes. We might use dns-based round-robin load balancing for all I know. This is all simply a mental exercise at this point, but the hardware is already in place running a commercial package which may have to be replaced if it can't be made to perform properly and soon. I am mainly interested in Sendmail's capacity at this time in order to suggest it as a possibility if it is realistic to do so. There are other considerations such as the facts that all incoming and outgoing messages are checked for malicious attachments. ldap is used to drive the setting of customer mail delivery preferences and even their user ID choice. To use an American vernacular, it is a tall order. I'd suggest you look at Postfix, a free alternative to Sendmail produced at IBM's TJ Watson Labs. The advantages of Postfix are as follows: 1) It's not sendmail - it acts identically, but shares no code, so it's immune to the sendmail exploits which sometimes appear in the cracker communtiy (rather like my iBook accepts viruses, and then watches as they fail to execute, being written for the wrong OS and processor) 2) Sendmail is written as a single monolithic program, so each executable sendmail uses a big chunk of memory to operate. Postfix is written as a network of small programs each of which does a single thing. This has a number of advantages: different components can be reinforced as need be to respond to minute-to-minute changes in load; the overally impact on system resources is smaller; and it's easier to spread processing power over multiple threads, processors and even hosts. Also if the spooler falls over the rest of the system carries on, so you don't have a total panic. 3) Sendmail's configuration file is written in an obscure style which has sent many brave souls to their deaths (recent versions are improved, but still AFAIK far from crystal clear. Postfix's configuration files are huge, but you colud at least read them out loud and they'd make some form of sense.

Something along the lines of:

and then do one of these,

This is a total shot in the dark, but I wonder if this little section of the manual might apply. Invoked by remote shell daemon .. Bash attempts to determine when it is being run by the remote shell daemon, usually `rshd'. If Bash determines it is being run by rshd, it reads and executes commands from `~/.bashrc', if that file exists and is readable. It will not do this if invoked as `sh'. The `--norc' option may be used to inhibit this behavior, and the `--rcfile' option may be used to force another file to be read, but `rshd' does not generally invoke the shell with those options or allow them to be specified. -- Andy Harrison ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Suggestions for replacements for vanilla ftpd?
I'm setting up our main customer web server: as a check-box feature, every customer gets 10Mb of free web space on our server. I'm very keen that I keep customer and user accounts on the server firmly separate, so that means that vanilla ftpd needs replacing. What are people's favourites out of the 20 or so in ports? From my own survey PureFTPd seems favourite, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Basically my desiderata are: No using /etc/passwd for client stuff; Enforced chrooting Performance not actually that important, since there's ony 100 or so accounts. I've curerently got user auth data handled by sasl, if that's important. 5.2.1 Release kernel. On a related note, a web interface to allow customers to update their pages would be nice. CPanel is gross overkill, and too expensive for my Boss's wallet. Does a simpler tool exist, before I start writing my own?

In addition to other suggestions, for various remote servers I like using rsnapshot (google for its homepage, it's also in the ports collection). It works as rsync over ssh, and it keeps a configurable amount of previous snapshots. e.g. a common configurations is 6 per day at 4-hourly intervals, 7 per week at daily intervals, and 4 per month at weeks intervals, so that you can always go back to see what your files were like up to a month ago. Since your HTML files are probably comparatively small, you may find this method quite convenient. Even for large sets of files the hardlinking of unchanged files means that surprisingly little overhead of disk space is used. -- http://freebsdwiki.org/ - Encrypted mail welcome - keyid 0xBF15490B pgp1EMFTHWZzm.pgp Description: PGP signature

No, you need to install the /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8 to get perl 5.8.x. Then if you keep your ports collection up-to-date the other commands (such as portversion) will tell you when a newer port is available.

That's almost what I want to have happen, but this seems only
portupgrade will use that (and I couldn't actually get the ALT_PKGDEP to
work). But I probably need something that changes the @pkgdep, because
I want to be able to install the packages I create on other machines, too.
It doesn't really matter for that package because I won't be able to use
SASL anyway, since I'm going to authenticate Tru64 against this server
and it has to have direct access to the userPassword attribute, which
seems like a mostly braindead way to do it.

upgrading ports, skipping or deferring from automatic upgrades
Hello, I like to keep my ports up-to-date and to that end I have portversion generate a nice list of outdated packages on my systems, the idea being that when I am satisfied, I do a portupgrade and upgrade them all en masse. This is not without problems occasionally though. In the past I've been bitten by postfix upgrades where the various new postfix binaries on disk are incompatible with the old running copies and mail is corrupted. I also have to remember every time that upgrading the mysql40-server port will actually stop mysqld at the end, without starting it again. Kind of annoying when I have apps connected to the database long term that will cry loudly when it goes away. At first, I was thinking the answer would be to use the parts of pkgtools.conf for executing various commands pre- and post-installation to make sure things are done properly. But then it came to me that this won't always work for something like postfix: multiple programs being called by daemons and having a short life, at some point an old daemon is going to call a new peer program and their protocols won't agree, boom, corrupted mail again. Maybe the solution is to just always be careful about what is going to be upgraded and do the tricky ones manually at the best time. On the other hand, is there maybe a simple way to tell portupgrade *never* to upgrade specific ports unless they are forced or specified singly? What I mean is, say I did "portversion -vL =" and it shows me that I have 20 packages that could be upgraded, one of them being mail/postfix. I'm itching to do this: sudo portupgrade -aRv which would upgrade the lot, but I can't because I know that upgrading databases/mysql40-server will shut down my perfectly running mysqld. So my choices become: - come up with a portupgrade command that excludes mysql - put off all upgrades until I have had chance to do mysql by itself I would like to be able to tell portupgrade *never* to upgrade ports like databases/mysql40-server and mail/postfix when I do "portupgrade -aRv" and instead wait for me to specifically do: sudo portupgrade -f databases/mysql40-server Is this possible? What do other people do about this? Yes I realise that being over-zealous with upgrades can be time-consuming, pointless, and detrimental to reliability. This is for personal play stuff, honest. :) -- http://freebsdwiki.org/ - Encrypted mail welcome - keyid 0xBF15490B "SCSI is usually fixed by remembering that it needs three terminations: One at each end of the chain.

You need to figure out a way to get your program to tell you *what* exactly fails. A lot of things are different from cron - the most often noticed one being that you have a much shorter PATH - so maybe that is it.

I think that you only need to match the variables used in the
Makefile. So the above would be correct, and the following two
should just be omitted:
> WITH_UCS2=1
> WITH_PYMALLOC=1
Don't forget you'll need to set BATCH as well.

Set the exact same variables as the Makefile is testing.

I believe not, as "defined()" only tests if that name is defined,
not what its value is.

Hi, Is there a simple way to display a list of all installed packages that depend on another given installed package? i.e. say I would like to know every installed package that depends on gmake which I also have installed. Is there any quick way to display this? I am aware of portsearch which will allow me to get a nice list of every port that depends on another port, but as far as I can see this only operates on the ports collection, not just the ones installed as packages.

Mirroring Mysql databases - and secure tunneling, while I'm at it.
I've looked in the docs, and used google, and I need a quick steer as to the best way to proceed. Our company is running two servers: one is a public web/mail/dns server sitting in a rack at Telecity, the other one is sitting here right next to me, and should never be seen outside of the office. Both are running FreeBSD-CURRENT. Both carry MySQL databases: the public one will carry cyrus mail, and authentication data for a radius server, the private one will carry our customer account data. What I'd like to do, following my principle that buildings tend to burn down one at a time, is to set the two databases to mirror each other, so that we would be able to reconstitute either database if the need were to arise. I'd like this to be as easy and automatic as possible. Is there a standard vanilla way of doing this, or do I have to get inventive? On the same tack, I'd like to have an encrypted pipe between the two servers (over which this company-confidential data will travel). Since one of the servers is behind a NAT (and soon will be behind a firewall, too), I'd like to use CIPE rather then IPSec. Am I correct in finding that CIPE is not implemented on FreeBSD?

Most people will tell you that 4.9 will be the best version to use for a production environment, and they would be right. However, the 4.x branch won't be around forever. Some day in the not so distant future, 5.x will go to -stable. If you want proven reliability, go with 4.9. If you think you might want to upgrade to 5.x in the near future, you might want to use 5.2 so you don't have to hassle upgrading from 4.x to 5.x. I have personally been using 5.x since it was still only -current. I've had no problems on any 5.x-release systems, they've always preformed well. I hope this helps you decide.

Is it worth using both gigabit ether ports?
I work for a small special-purpose ISP, and right now I'm configuring our main Web/Mail/DNS server. It's a Dell Poweredge 750, 2.4Gb with 1Gig of memory and twp 80 GB drives mirrored using vinum. When I've prepped it up, it's due to go in our rack at Telecity in Docklands. The box came with an Intel twin Gigabit network card, and I'd like to use ng_one2many to load share so that the box uses both ports at once. There doesn't appear to be much about this on the web. My question: is it worth doing? Will a get a better and/or more fault-tolerent performance by doing this?

Cups printing problem
I am trying to print from a FBSD client to an FBSD print server running the latest version of Cups. I can print from the printserver, but not across the local network. I receive this error from the Cups browser admin page: Brother HL-1440 Foomatic/hl1250 (recommended) Description: net-printer Location: Printer State: processing, accepting jobs. "Unable to get printer status (client-error-forbidden)!" Device URI: http://10.0.0.175:631/ipp/ It seems like the server is refusing the connection, is that the problem or is it something else. I tried putting an /etc/cups/cupsd.conf so that it will spool on the server, but it did not work. Is there something I need to enable or turn on, on the server to make network printing work?

NIC problem
I just ran into an unusual problem, and I need some help. I am trying to integrate a firewall in my network, based on 5.2.1.Release and Ipfilter. I actually had everything working, and did something that I think caused my problem. I tried to ssh into my firewall and I accidentally used the wrong interface. Instead of connecting to the NIC connected to the LAN, I tried to connect to the outside interface. Now, somehow there is an option for VLAN when I type ifconfig. Right under the line for rl0 I see this: options=8 What is this, and what does it mean. How do I get rid of it? I tried to do ifconfig rl0 destroy, but that doesn't work. How can I recreate the rl0 interface without the VLAN option? I could really use some help on this one! Any advice is appreciated!

Install world fails, computer almost unusable
Hi ! I succesfully compiled FreeBSD 5.2.1, but problem happened when I wanted to do install. After I run installworld install started but halted at one point (with copying ld-so.1 in libexec). I found ld-so.1.old file which I removed, and after I run installworld again, mtree failed with core dump, and "Bad Syscall"... Now I can't do anything. Most of system programs now do core dump.

problems with make world process
I am trying to use the make world process and am having a major problem. Everything goes well until the last step. First I tied upgrading to 4.9 stable by: cvsuping RELENG_4 make buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel reboot (single user) mergemaster -p make installworld mergemaster reboot When I reboot the network is totally broken, if I try to ping 192.168.1.1 my local gateway I get: ping: sendto: No route to host So, I thought maybe the mergemaster process hosed things up. I did the whole process again and instead of running mergemaster, I rebooted after a successful installworld. Again, same thing the network is broken. Then, I thought maybe something is wrong with 4.9, so I repeated the exercise again twice going from 5.2.1.Release to 5.2.1.p4. And still no luck. So, I am obviously missing something big or small (or both). The purpose for doing this is to build a firewall by following the directions at:http://www.schlacter.net/public/FreeBSD-STABLE_and_IPFILTER.html Everything looks ok as far as ifconfig and /etc/rc.conf are concerned. What can I do to troubleshoot the network problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've broken /boot/device.hints
I was trying to disable ACPI by editing device.hints, and left some garbage at the start of the file. Now I find the kernel won't boot - you get to the little Daemon flash page, and then kernel load goes on and after the first line of boot, the star fails to spin. I've got a spare copy of the root partition on /dev/ac1s1a but I can't seem to boot from there. This box is very unhappy with ACPI. If I boot from floppies the emergency shell doesn't seem to include a copy of mount, so I can't rectify the fault. Is there an easy survival route?

upgrade issues
I recently upgraded from 5.1.release to 5.2.1 release, everything went fine except for 2 things. The cdplayer that comes with Gnome is broken, when I open it it says "Drive Error". So, I installed XCDplayer 2.20 from ports, it installed. However, when I open it and insert a new audio cd, it says "No Disk". I have a new Plextor PX-708A internal ATAPI DVD+RW. I know the drive works, I can watch and burn DVDs, and I can even rip audio tracks off of a CD, but I cannot play an audio cd. Any ideas what caused this or how to troubleshoot it? Also, I upgraded from Mozilla 1.5 to 1.6 and in doing so corrupted my fonts in the browser. Now the fonts are really big and jagged, changing them in the preferences does not help.

First off, the sysinstall program complains about the disk geometry, but its "fixed" geometry numbers don't seem too far off in drive size, so I let it slide. I've never seen this warning before on a freebsd install, but I've seen reference to it in the archives, with these sorts of drives. At any rate I create the slices. 2048M swap 2048M / 2048M /tmp 4096M /var ~66G /usr Then I start up the standard install. I apologize as I'm doing this from memory, while at work... It seems to hang on a a screen with the command something like newfs -O2 ads1f at any rate I figure its formatting the drive, and maybe it will take a while. But the next morning it is still on the same screen? 12+ hours later. Even my biggest partition being about 66G, it shouldn't take that long to format. Something is clearly wrong, but after trying several times, I'm out of ideas.

Kevin Kinsey Hiya Kevin Thanks for the quick reply ;) I have the same problem in being too cautious. I tought of backing up the libGl file just in case, but then if I restore the backup, the symilnk will still be in place, so if I do damage, I am not sure how to "unsymlink" (if that is a word lol) the file - should this cause problems with other programs, and am worried about destroying my system. As a newbie I have done a few installs in the last 6 months or so and have limited access to the net ATM so not in a good possie to rebuild. When I build the courage tho, I will do it the way you have suggested - cding to the directory.

There should not be any cdrom drive sharing the primary IDE controller with the master Hard Drive. The HDDs and CDROM are on SCSI, so I don't think they have any IDE controller. Anyone can feel free to correct me on this issue if I am incorrect. boot sequence=, set this option to (CDROM,C) Since you are installing FBSD from CDROM you must tell the PC what I/O device to look at to boot from. Keep in mind that some older CD-ROMs drives and older PC bios do not support booting off CD-ROM. Generally with PC manufactured after 1999 this is not the problem. BIOS is old so the old boot option I have is floppy. The SCSI BIOS had a boot option, which I tried. That failed however, and brought error codes from the PC BIOS because it moved the floppy drive to B: and took over the a: slot. When FreeBSD attempts to boot the machine, ahc0 driver (for the Adaptec AIC-7880 controller) is loaded but throws the weirdest error: ahc0: Illegal Configuration. Only two connectors on the adapter can be used at one time. which means nothing to me. Does anyone know what it is asking for? I even tried removing the CDROM from the SCSI and booting , but the same error appears. Others have loaded 4.9 on 325 PC Servers, however there is something about my configuration that is giving the ahc0 driver fits. again, please cc with your response as I am not on the list. Thanks, Andy Clements original request: I have IBM 325 PCServer with one 200 Pentium Pro CPU and two SCSI HDD drives and a SCSI CDROM.

Thanks in advance, Andy Clements I have a couple of 325s with on-board SCSI, SCSI CDROM. Make sure that your SCSI devices are not set to the same ID as the SCSI card or each other. The HDDs are on SCSI 0 and 1 and the CDROM is on 6. At least that is what the SCSI BIOS is saying. Upon plying deeper into the problem I noticed that the ahc0 driver (which is the correct driver for my Adaptec AIC-7880) is saying that that there is an illegal configuration where there are more than two controllers attached to the cable (or something to that effect, unfortunately the machine is not in front of me). I remove the CDROM from the SCSI cable and still got the same message. Is there something I can do in the kernel configuration that would solve this? I also notice that IRQ15, where the SCSI is attached, is being used by an ATA /ATAPI driver. Is this correct? I don't know whether this helps but I've installed FedoraCore1 on this same machine with no problem - I would assume this leans towards the fact that there may be no hardware/BIOS problem.

php5 compile fail
Hi ! I am having weird problem. I tried to install php5 but it seems that FreeBSD has some stuff missing. In resolv.h, we are mising 4 aliases res_ninit, res_nmkquery, res_nsend, res_nclose. I was working with some people on php site, to disover why my compile fails and we came to this conclusion, that FreeBSD is missing this aliases. Did anybody else have the same problem? How did you solve it?

cvs-mirror to nfs mount
Hello all, I have googled around and found some questions about this but no answers. I have a NAS that we mount for home directories. I would like the cvsup-mirror to be /home/ncvs just like the default install but I get errors in my log files and the update fails with the following error. Nonexistent prefix "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/prefixes/FreeBSD.cvs" for cvs-all/cvs The mirror is successful if the prefix is changed to the local disk. Any clues would be greatly appreciated. -- ~Andy ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Console resolution
Hi ! I have just installed FreeBSD onto my notebook. I am using FreeBSD for quite some time, and now I decided to install it on my notebook (I got tired of both RedHat and Windows 2000, which both didn't work as they should (I had both installed on same computer)) and remove everything else from it. Problem is that this notebok Toshiba, has *very* ugly system font. On RedHat I solved this problem, by giving higher resolution to text mode (which I what I would like to do here). I am wondering if this is also possible on freebsd. I use text mode a lot, so this is quite important, I use Xwindows only if I must... Take care.
