Make sure the Makefile and distinfo file
(/usr/ports/security/libgcrypt/distinfo)
are up to date. If you are absolutely sure you want to override this
check, type make NO_CHECKSUM=yes [other args].
Anyone else run into this?
The source file is being truncated because fetch loses its connection for
one reason or another. Many servers now cut you off if you are at
dial-up speeds because net fairness means broadband users always go to
the front of the line.
You can make a shell script to fetch the file and keep running it until
you finally get the whole file a piece at a time or you can try ftp.
When you have the whole source file (check it against distinfo) place
it in /usr/ports/distfiles. Things should go fine.
Checksum mismatch nearly always means a truncated file. I cannot ever
remember seeing it otherwise. Do not override it with NO_CHECKSUM. That
will be useless with a truncated file and worse than useless if a
security port really has been tampered with.
Interesting. I found out what the problem is, but haven't figured out
how to work around it.
As a test, I put the URL
(http://gnupg.org.favoritelinks.net/libgcrypt/libgcrypt-1.5.0.tar.bz2)
into a web browser, and found that it's being blocked by our web
filter, because the site is marked as also serving adult content. The
supposed tarball in /usr/ports/distfiles is the response from the web
filter, so it's junk.
After repeated fetches, that is the only site my machine is using to
grab the tarball. How to I tell the machine to vary its download sites
(if indeed there are alternatives?)
In the Makefile I see the line
MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_GNUPG}
which I'd bet controls how it finds what sites to visit, but don't
know anything beyond that.
It's also mirrored on the freebsd servers. Grab it from:
ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/libgcrypt-1.5.0.tar.bz2
Put the file in /usr/ports/distfiles

I've googled many times and tried some examples from there, but most appear pretty old and not running with php5.3x. Is it just that Horde doesn't work with fbsd-7.x and php5.3x or is it me? I am in the process of rewriting all the horde4 ports, as this is a very large project involving over 50 modules and libs it will take some time. Horde4 does work very well with FreeBSD and you can do a pear install if you really need it now.

Just for the record... I'm also able to start Skype from the command
prompt.
What happens if you do: /usr/local/share/skype/skype as a normal user?
I'm not sure if I really understand makefiles, but it seems to me that
/usr/local/share/skype are created with the following directive in
/usr/ports/net/skype/Makefile:
@cd ${WRKSRC}/${COPYTREE_SHARE} avatars icons sounds lang
${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR}/
Maybe the directory should be created first? I.e. change it to the
following: @${INSTALL} -d ${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR}
@cd ${WRKSRC}/${COPYTREE_SHARE} avatars icons sounds lang
${PREFIX}/${SKYPEDIR}/
copytree_share does create the dir first if it doesn't exist. FWIW, I loaded
xfwm and tried to reproduce this, but it works fine as a normal user on my
-current box. I doubt if it would be any different on a 7.x box. I've seen
this problem once or twice before, but both me and Skype are at a loss to
explain why it's happening. I'll chat with the Skype devs later this evening
and see if one of them has any suggestions.

The x86 flavour is intended for old 386, 486 and 585 (starting from Pentium Pro and upward version) to latest Pentium 4 Dual Core. The x86 can handle multi processor architechture with SMP kernel which is available by default. The x86_64 flavour intended for AMD64 architechture that current Intel Core 2 Duo and since AMD Sempron and upward employed. However, this is not for IA64 which is totally different version of FreeBSD (I think) have created for it. If you aim for tested stable version of FreeBSD, you can use FreeBSD-6.x-RELEASE lines. However if your hardware is up to current (say no less than 2 years tops) and you want the bleeding-edge version of applications, you can try FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE line (7.1 version is still in Release Candidate stage and not recommended except for testers). Hopes that what you're looking for. 7.0 is perfectly stable and is recommended for production use. It's not bleeding edge code. That's 8.0-CURRENT which is NOT for production use. Unless you have a particular reason for using 6.x I would go with 7.0 It's fully tested.

Is there any script for countering these attacks? If not I'll write one I think.

You must be joking. I'd bite my hand off for such hardware. :-) That's pretty much as low as I'd go for normal desktop usage. For KDE? Yes, I do understand that. I would not even think about trying KDE or Gnome on a 300 MHz box. But desktop usage != KDE. KDE = preconfigured desktop with many built-in functionalities. I think Gnome has gotten pretty much the same like KDE in terms of ressource consumption. (I can't tell for sure, I'm not using it on a daily basis.) What about XFCE 4? Maybe that would be a good point to start, unless of couse the toolkit is too heavy... The machine you're describing, still makes for a good router or LAN resolver with low traffic webserving. I have such an oldie, P2 300 MHz, 256 MB RAM, ATI graphics (it's a Compaq Deskpro), FreeBSD 5.4, XFCE 3, OpenOffice 1.1.5, custom kernel, mplayer (compiled), xmms, Opera 7, Sylpheed. I'm not lying: This machine performs better in some regards than my 2 GHz P4 with FreeBSD 7! Applications come up faster, screen output renders faster. And even things that don't work on my fast system (wine, screen resolution in X, duplex printing) work excellently there. I've got no explaination for this, but it's true. As a server most oldies are good if they run well. The point of energy consumption is worth mentioning. I have an experimental server here, it's a P1 150 MHz with 128 MB RAM. For learning purposes completely sufficient to me. Backup machine if disks are good. Or backup server if added some exchangable media (tape / DVD-RAM), inexpensive solution for automated data backup. Getting a decent performing desktop on there is as Polytropon said, a project you'd do for fun, not cause you need a desktop. That's correct. But hey, you learn a lot by building such a system, and in the end, you have your ultimate desktop right fitting your needs - not what the developers of let's say KDE are convinced you're wanting. That's a lot of work, I know, but once you're done, you can dump / restore this system to other machines of that kind (eventually needing to change some settings). The final quality of the machine is a direct result from the work you will decide to put in it. If you just want to do fast, fast, the machine will be sloow... :-) I was running KDE3 on a 750MHz box and it was really slow. I can't even imagine trying it on a 350MHz box. Stick to one of the simpler smaller apps if you need a desktop.

I was just wondering if current would work the same. Also, is it possible to make an iso containing a multi release? ie: i386 and amd64? Technically, but you'd have to burn it to a DVD and figure out how to choose which to boot from. There are people combining all three to a DVD, but I haven't built a release in awhile myself and have never tried making it into a DVD. Burning a -CURRENT release is no problem, just source it from your src tree. It's really no different than burning a regular release. There's no problem burning both iso's the problem will be the boot sector.

Re: I've just found a new and interesting spam source - legitimatebounce messages
On Monday 20 October 2008, Michael K. Smith - Adhost said: The term coined for this type of mail is backscatter. There is no easy solution for this. The backscatter article on postfix.org, for example, caused our mail servers to start rejecting mail that was generated from PHP scripts and CGIs on our own systems, which makes no sense. The article: http://www.postfix.org/BACKSCATTER_README.html If the backscatter is all directed to a single Email address (rather than a series of addresses, e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED], and you have [EMAIL PROTECTED] accepted), then a solution is to reject mail with an RCPT TO of an account or virtual address that does not exist on your machine. This, of course, has a wonderful side effect: spammers now have a way to detect what Email addresses on your box legitimately accept mail, thus once they find one which never gets a bounceback, will start pounding that address to kingdom come. Let me know if you do find a reliable, decent solution that does not involve SPF or postfix header_checks or body_checks. The following doesn't fix the problem but it does help mitigate the deluge. We use a PERL script to tail our maillogs looking for any source IP that tries to send mail to more than 4 invalid addresses. When flagged, that IP is then added to a PF table that blocks the address and issues RST's for 12 hours. Of course, we also have a whitelist for valid SMTP servers. Like I said, it doesn't catch it all, but it catches *a lot* and generates almost no complaints. This does help obfuscate the valid/invalid addresses because all mail is accepted as far as the sender is concerned until the IP is blocked at the network layer. The usual complaint is from an remote office that has 12 real estate agents behind a single IP, all with Outlook set to check mail sooner than now. :-) Mike SpamAssassin also has a backscatter feature, you just have to enable it. It tags backscatter and hands it off to procmail. From there you can easily do whatever you want with the tagged mail including kick off a script to block the offending IP. In my case I just dump it along with any spam to /dev/null. It works so well I had to bounce a couple of emails just to make sure it wasn't also grabbing mine. Nope, anything I bounce gets delivered. My backscatter is now virtually zero. Of course like everything else SpamAssassin it's tuneable. It's a very good solution without a lot of heavy lifting.

to exec rm for multiple files at once.
Piping to xargs in this case is unnecessary.
And for things like those pesky .SVN dirs in a port:

I'm currently looking into bedework now- it seems ideal, but getting tomcat to work with apache is becoming a challenge. I'm using mod_jk but it doesn't appear to be cooperating yet. What is your experience in building apache modules? The problem is mainly in the mod_dav_acl module which needs xattr.h. I'm wondering if we can borrow the headers from another source. You can borrow whatever headers you need to get the code to compile. You may find that it would work a lot better though if you change the xattr.h include to: include sys/extattr.h The problem will be in the link stage. If the libraries that you have linked in do not contain the functions that are defined in xattr.h then you will get link failures. However I don't really understand why your having problems. The SF page for this, here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/moddavacl claims: Operating System: All POSIX (Linux/BSD/UNIX-like OSes) This would indicate a configure script that understands FreeBSD is present. It sounds to me like you are not following the instructions included with the mod_dav_acl module to build it properly. What exactly are you doing? Could you post the steps your going through to build this? I had thought Mirosoft deprecated all the webdav stuff in future IIS servers - maybe there is a lack of interest in the industry now? Ted He also might want to look at Horde. You can install from www/horde-meta and choose the kronolith module. From their website: The Kronolith calendar provides a robust web-based calendar for any number of users or groups, with the ability to show any number of calendars in a single overlaid view. Users can create any number of calendars and grant read, edit, or full permissions to any user, group, or any combination thereof.

Can FreeBSD be upgraded from 5.2.1 to 6.2 ? Yes. 2. Can it be done through an ssh connection, or MUST I make the trip to the farm and do it from the console? I've done 5.x to 6.x upgrades via ssh. It is possible. In the handbook, you will see mentions of booting into single user mode and I can tell you that it is not required. It's a good safety precaution; if your updated kernel won't boot, you will need to reinstall most of the system. That is over the board. Only times that I have made the mistakes in the past are: 1. Misconfiguring the kernel options such as disabling the meeded network driver built in the kernel. 2. Anything related to having kernel panics to occur. 3. Enabling firewall and getting locked out via network. That sounds a tad alarmist; if the new kernel won't boot, you'll have to be at (or have someone at) the console who can boot kernel.old (I stand open for correction, but last time I did it, 'twas that way). And, possibly, that person (you?) will also have to be able to do some other magic. Magic such as having other remote possibilities. DRAC access for example. But the phrase reinstall most of the system doesn't, at the very least, *sound* like the BSD Way(tm). Granted, sometimes it's quicker --- I know that's why it's used so often on that Other System ;-) If you have reinstalled a userland that depends on a kernel that doesn't boot, you are quite likely to be in trouble. I always do buildworld/installworld as part of my kernel build/installs. That is to ensure staying in sync. I reboot after the installworld then again after the installkernel. You should do it the other way around. That way if the new kernel doesn't boot you aren't stuck with an out of sync userland which may not play nicely with your old kernel. Also, depending on the changes booting an old kernel with a new userland may (and has) result in your system not booting at all. The proper sequence is: # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # reboot # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot The BSD way does not necessarily involve easy recovery from making up procedures that haven't been worked out or tested by the release engineers. In fact, I don't think any operating system guarantees that you will have an easy time after making up your own upgrade procedures. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- --- Beech Rintoul - FreeBSD Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] /\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | FreeBSD Since 4.x \ / - NO HTML/RTF in e-mail | http://www.freebsd.org X - NO Word docs in e-mail | Latest Release: / \ - http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.2R/announce.html --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On FreeBSD before 6.2 ports system unfortunately can not set
default X11BASE by itself so please help it a bit by setting
X11BASE=${LOCALBASE} in make.conf.
On the other hand, if you do wish to use non-default X11BASE,
please set variable USE_NONDEFAULT_X11BASE.
However, even if I edit /etc/make.conf and add either
X11BASE=${LOCALBASE} or X11BASE=/usr/X11R6, I still get this
error.
Any suggestions or recommendations on how to get ruby
installed? I think once I have that installed, I should be able
to get port-upgrade fixed and then maybe be able to get some
patches downloaded... I would really appreciate any tips or
suggestions.

There was major change about Xorg; For more details, plase see
here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2007-May/0011

I think the upgrade was/is mandatory, not optional ;;
Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately it isn't really very helpful.
I guess I didn't clarify the catch-22 in my previous post.
In order to get X upgraded, I need to get portupgrade working. This
requires that X already be upgraded. This, in return requires
portupgrade...
I was starting with trying to get Ruby because that addressed the
vulnerabilities I was trying it initially address. However, that's
pretty irrelevant at the moment.
Where I'm stuck is getting either portupgrade working or getting X
upgraded, both of which seem to be dependent on the other having
already happened...
Thanks,
Keith
Make sure your ports tree is 100% up to date.
Uninstall portupgrade all it's dependencies.
cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade make install clean
Read and follow the instructions in UPDATING for updating xorg

Beech

TIA, Olivier It should be ok with most current apps, but I would run them on a test server first if it's something mission critical. Php's site has migration info (http://www.php.net) which should be helpful for custom scripts. Also the vendor sites should let you know if they will work with php5. I haven't run into anything that won't in quite a while, but your mileage may vary :-) You will need to completely remove php4 and ALL extensions then rebuild them with php5.

Re: too late to change to security branch?
On Wednesday 26 September 2007, Bill Stwalley said: I have servers running 6.1 and 6.2. I use freebsd-update in cron jobs to install binary security update to the base system, and use cvsup/portupgrade in cron jobs to install port updates. By default, cvsup uses CURRENT branch. I am tired of some updates breaking something unnecessarily, and am thinking of changing to SECURITY branch in cvsup. Is that possible? Some of my ports are already locally compiled with customized options. If that's impossible, can I wait until the release of 6.3, upgrading to it, and then switch to SECURITY branch in cvsup? If those are entirely impossible, can I switch to STABLE branch? I'm confused by this system, please let me know if anything I do doesn't make sense. Best, Bill There are no other branches of ports except current. The release, security, stable and current branches only apply to the system itself. The exception being the ports that come with a release are just a snapshot of the ports tree at the time the release was rolled. While we try our best to avoid breakage, it sometimes happens. My suggestion is that if you plan on upgrading something mission critical, you might want to try the upgrade on another similar box first and test. As for compiling with options not already available in the port itself, you are basically on your own. If there is a particular option that comes with the sources, but is not a port option contact the maintainer of that port. As for doing port updates with a cron script it's not recommended. You should always read UPDATING before installing anything. Believe me it will save you foot shooting.

Re: Strange port 80 access problem
On Wednesday 12 September 2007, Don O'Neil said: I have a very strange access problem that just popped up this morning. For whatever reason, my machine at home over my cable modem can no longer access Apache on port 80... However other services are accessible elsewhere (Direct Admin control panel, FTP, SMTP,etc...) BUT Apache is accessible to other devices, not on my IP... It seems as though there is some sort of IP block on me, but I can't seem to find anything in the logs to confirm this. I don't have a 'deny from' in any .htaccess files... What could be going on? I'm running apache 1.3.39, and FreeBSD 6.1. It's very possible that your ISP is blocking port 80. It seems more and more of them are doing that with home subscribers. I know someone who has service with one of the large telcos and they not only block port 80, but mail and ftp as well. They told him if he wanted to run servers he would have to subscribe to business service at 5X the cost of residential. If you can ping other ports on your home machine, that's most likely what's happening. Your logs wouldn't necessarily show anything because the requests are not reaching your server. After you verify (from outside) that you can't reach port 80, about your only other option is to use one of the free nameservers that will redirect your traffic to another port. You will also need to reconfigure apache to listen on that port instead of port 80. Finally, if you have a firewall on your box, make sure it's not getting blocked there. Verify that apache is actually listening on 80 by doing: sockstat | grep httpd You should see lines like the following: www httpd 59775 3 tcp46 *:80 *:* If you don't than that's your problem, but if you see the *:80, you need to contact your ISP, fix your firewall, or look into redirect.

They told him if he wanted to run servers he would have to subscribe to business service at 5X the cost of residential. I've had a similar experience with COX Communications in the US midwest. They block http, https, alternate http ports like 8000 and 8080, smtp, and I think pop and imap/imaps. I'm sure part of the reason for this paranoid behavior is to protect their networks from saturation from bots and whatnot, but part of me thinks they just want to stick it to their customers whom they view as pesky annoyances rather than valuable consumers. I circumvent these hassles by boring ssh tunnels to the services I need access to on my home machines. This is a stopgap until I get time to fiddle with openvpn. That's another option. I'm very lucky. Here in Anchorage, the cable provider (GCI), is totally OK with people running servers as long as you're not selling webspace or email services (Your home business is OK). They deal with abusers on an individual basis. They also do network scanning looking for bots and will put a user on security block until they fix it, but I've never known anyone who actually got blocked. I wish more ISP's had that attitude instead of trying to screw subscribers out of more money just to run their mail or website. -- --- Beech Rintoul - FreeBSD Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] /\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | FreeBSD Since 4.x \ / - NO HTML/RTF in e-mail | http://www.freebsd.org X - NO Word docs in e-mail | Latest Release: / \ - http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.2R/announce.html --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can someone please point me in the direction of upgrading from freeBSD 6.2--release to freeBSD 7 current? The general information for this is in the handbook. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html However, unless you are very experienced with FreeBSD or have a very specific need, you should think twice about upgrading to -current. Upgrading to -current just to get the latest whistles and bells isn't a good idea and you should be prepared to do a lot of your own troubleshooting if something doesn't work. At the very least you should figure on rebuilding all your ports. We are close to the 7.0 release and the fact that you are even asking this question means that you should probably wait for the release. Finally, keep in mind that if you do upgrade to -current and get in trouble, you won't be able to downgrade back to 6.x without a clean install.

Re: php5 won't compile
to the FreeBSD 6.X branch, which is a stable and mature platform, and is now the 'reference' FreeBSD branch for the Ports Collection. The last known good tree has been tagged with the RELEASE_4_EOL tag as a convenience to those remaining users who intend to self-support their own 4.X installations. This tag is not supported in any way and security fixes will not be applied. Usage is therefore highly discouraged and should only be used as a last resort. Support for RELENG_4 was removed from the ports infrastructure after the RELENG_4_EOL tag and the ports collection can no longer be used on that branch. Therefore maintainers are also no longer required to provide any form of support for running their ports on FreeBSD 4.X, and may also remove any legacy support code at their convenience. -- --- Beech Rintoul - FreeBSD Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] /\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | FreeBSD Since 4.x \ / - NO HTML/RTF in e-mail | http://www.freebsd.org X - NO Word docs in e-mail | Latest Release: / \ - http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.2R/announce.html --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

According to the proftpd README file, in FreeBSD it likes to get this information from /etc/pam.conf, whereas LINUX looks in /etc/pam.d/ftp, and what topped it off for me is the / etc/pam.d/ftpd file. Where is the best place to have this configuration information; is it required considering there is already lines in /etc/pam.d/ftp; if required should I overwrite /etc/pam.d/ftp or append to the beginning/ end of the file?

Re: denyhosts and the threshold level
On Sunday 17 June 2007, Zbigniew Szalbot said: Hello, I have denyhosts set with the following options: DENY_THRESHOLD_INVALID = 3 DENY_THRESHOLD_VALID = 3 In my understanding this should block all ssh login attempts from a host which fails to provide correct login credentials 3 times (no matter if the user actually exists or not at my system). This appears to work. But I have a question. When I look at the log I can see something like that: Failed password for root from 218.9.127.236 port 46472 ssh2 Jun 17 19:55:38 lists sshd[8048]: Failed password for root from 218.9.127.236 port 46631 ssh2 Jun 17 19:55:42 lists sshd[8052]: Failed password for root from 218.9.127.236 port 46786 ssh2 Jun 17 19:55:45 lists sshd[8057]: Failed password for root from 218.9.127.236 port 46952 ssh2 Jun 17 19:55:49 lists sshd[8069]: Failed password for root from 218.9.127.236 port 47106 ssh2 Jun 17 19:55:53 lists sshd[8071]: Failed password for root from 218.9.127.236 port 47261 ssh2 Jun 17 19:55:56 lists sshd[8075]: Failed password for root from 218.9.127.236 port 47414 ssh2 Jun 17 19:56:00 lists sshd[8079]: Failed password for root from 218.9.127.236 port 47566 ssh2 Jun 17 19:56:03 lists sshd[8081]: How can I determine whether the user has actually been cut off after 3 attempts? Or does the above mean that the user was not blocked? Many thanks for your advice! Warm regards from Poland. Zbigniew Szalbot I use denyhosts on a couple of my servers. Those login scripts try many a second. It takes denyhosts a bit of time to catch it. As for them being blocked root should be receiving mail telling you what IP was blocked. What I see above looks about normal for the app. Beech -- --- Beech Rintoul - FreeBSD Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] /\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | FreeBSD Since 4.x \ / - NO HTML/RTF in e-mail | http://www.freebsd.org X - NO Word docs in e-mail | Latest Release: / \ - http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.2R/announce.html --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I then installed IMP package with pkg_add -r imp. All seemed to go well. I then started working my way through configuring the various newly installed things. From: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-a pache.html I added: LoadModule php5_modulelibexec/apache/libphp5.so AddModule mod_php5.c IfModule mod_php5.c DirectoryIndex index.php index.html /IfModule IfModule mod_php5.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps /IfModule To my /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf file. When I tried to restart Apache, I get: apachectl start Syntax error on line 238 of /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/libexec/apache/libphp5.so into server: Cannot open /usr/local/libexec/apache/libphp5.so /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started And sure enough, it's not there.

My goal here is to get a working FreeBSD 6.2 Horde/IMP server. I'm new to all these things, so if I'm going about this the hard or the stupid way, please don't hesitate to tell me. It seemed like the easiest and fastest way to get a working install would be to install the package, but maybe I'm wrong. Regards, The problem is there have been upgrades to php and their server is currently down. This has been reported by several people and all I can suggest is to try again later. FWIW, I just tried to fetch and it's still down.

Mailman - Problems, virtual-mailman not created
I just installed Mailman for the first time and virtual-mailman is not being created. I'm using postfix and have the following in mm_cf.py: MTA = 'Postfix' POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/local/sbin/postalias' POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/local/sbin/postmap' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['domain1.org', 'domain2.com'] Running genaliases created the aliases db, but there is no virtual_mailman or db. The virtual domains work and receive mail. What do I do next? Trying to create a new list in those domains resulted in not found errors. I've scoured the docs and I seem to have everything setup properly. Anyone have experience with this?

FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE
Just ran cvsup. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help!
4.x hasn't been supported for some weeks. Please update to a newer
version of FreeBSD (6.x preferred).
Also, just remembered. The server is running Plesk
server management software. (Also, an older version.)
If I upgreade to 6.2, it will kill Plesk.
Any other ideas?
Can't help you with Plesk, but the last good ports collection is now
tagged RELEASE_4_EOL. You can cvsup using that tag. After that any
upgrades are on you. Also bear in mind that security fixes are no
longer supported on that branch. All of the 4.x build tools have been
removed from the tree, so ports after that will not build.
As for a production server, you should do a clean build on another
server and migrate your files over. There have been significant
filesystem improvements since 4.x and just doing an update will not
get you the benefits.
As for a version 6.2 is much preferred over 5.x.
Beech

Re: DHCP client configuration on FreeBSD
On Saturday 28 April 2007, L Goodwin said: --- Beech Rintoul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Friday 27 April 2007, L Goodwin said: When I ran the DHCP client configuration tool on FreeBSD 6.2, it added a new hostname variable to /etc/rc.conf below existing the hostname var (it did not remove or comment-out the old hostname variable). The NEW hostname includes the ISP's domain name: hostname=dhcppc0.ISP domain name here This hostname differs from the hostname listed in the router's DHCP table dhcpp0 (no domain name). It also shows unique IP addresses and MAC addresses for all hosts on the LAN. I can ping the IP address assigned to the FreeBSD system, but ping and net lookup fail when its hostname is specified (both with and without the domain name). Questions: 1) Why did the hostname get changed (does not occur for Windows clients)? 2) Why does the hostname in /etc/rc.conf contain the DNS domain name? FreeBSD uses the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) as the hostname. Example: hostname= yourmachine.yourdomain.com 3) How do I resolve this problem? Unless you provide your own DNS that resolves your internal network and supersede dhclient with your domain name, DHCP will use the domain and DNS from your provider. Your windows boxes point to your isp's nameservers which have no records of your server or it's address. Therefore it can't resolve your machine's hostname. If you do provide your own internal name service you will also need to edit /etc/dhclient.config (see man dhclient.conf), and point your windows boxes to your DNS instead of your isp's. You can use a fictitious domain name internally, just make sure that the domain doesn't actually exist on the net. You can also use the FreeBSD IP address as a domain name on your windows boxes to connect. Is there a way to a) make dhclient use hostname without a domain name appended, or b) make dhclient instruct the DHCP server to append the domain name to the hostname? You're confusing windows networking with real networking. If all you're trying to do is share files with the windows boxes, just put the machine name as hostname and don't worry what gets appended to it. Samba will handle the windows part of it (machine name and workgroup). Windows uses a different system to identify machines on it's network. Don't confuse a windows domain with a real domain they are different things. On a windows network you use samba to make the windows boxes think that the FreeBSD box is one of theirs and share files and printers. You can find detailed how-to's on samba's site. There is no need to ping by hostname unless you're running a server on the FreeBSD box in which case you need to setup real DNS or just use the FreeBSD IP as the hostname from windows. Running bind requires a fairly steep learning curve, but there are simple nameservers in the ports tree that would probably better suit your needs. Are you referring to the built-in command in bsh that lists/alters key bindings for the line editor? I don't understand what bind has to do with any of this. I'm not talking about binding keys, what I was talking about is bind. That's a dns server already in the base system. If you want to freely resolve your machines by hostname and domain you probably need to set up a caching nameserver to resolve your internal network. And point all your machines at it.
