can't bring ath0 up
Hi all, I have just upgrade my FreeBSD server from 7 to 8. Everything seems to be working OK, except the Atheros-based wireless network card, which I had configured as an access point and which worked fine under 7 for several years. The command: # ifconfig ath0 up works fine, but anything else returns an error message. For example: # ifconfig ath0 192.168.3.1 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Invalid argument or this, copied pasted directly from the FreeBSD Handbook: # ifconfig ath0 ssid freebsdap mode 11g mediaopt hostap inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument Any ideas on what is going on here? - Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/can%27t-bring-ath0-up-tp27734134p27734134.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ 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
postfix + cyrus sasl: no go
Hi all, I have compiled postfix with the SASL2 option.

The script is talking to 94.102.51.57 on port 7000. Other useful things: ps ajx will tell you the parent process of the script: this looks like it may be a (fast?)CGI script; if so then the parent would be the web server. It may also show the name of the script (but beware: the script can change that) which would be usefull to know. After 24 hour since rebooting, this perl instance is still crunching away... Is it the same instance of the script, or a new copy each time? That is, does the PID change? If so, that points to a CGI; if not it points to a fastCGI - or something else.

In reality, good security practice says that you should have IPFW (or some

the start, which might have protected you from this in the first place.
Bill,
I am surprised you would think I have no firewall. As long as I have had the
server (2 years), I have had PF installed and running, and I can tell you
exactly which incoming ports I have open to the net:
tcp_services = { ssh smtp www https 4661 4662 52550 }
the last three are for edonkey and bittorrent, resp.
c'est tout.
There are no *obvious* weaknesses, ie, ssh is private-key only.
That being said, I leave the WiFi open to everyone, with the following ports
available:
wifi_tcp_services = { ftp ssh bootps whois domain www imap imaps ntp irc
https sunrpc dict nfs 2628 3689 4711 6667 6909 23398}
Should I entertain the possiblity that someone parked their car near my
house and hacked in through one of the above ports?
Any suggestions as to where to start looking for the breach would be most
welcome; I am quite new to this game.
Thanks.

what www perl script is running?
Hi all, I noticed this morning that a perl script was using a lot of CPU time on my FreeBSD webserver. By the time I killed it, it had run up 400 mins of system time according to top. However, simply killing 'perl5.8.9' didn't accomplish much, it was back running again moments later. I then rebooted. Once again it is running. According to top, the owner of the process is 'www', which would be lighttpd. So, it appears that lightthp is persistently spawning a perl script.But which one? I don't use perl much, but I do have it enabled in lighttp: [...] ) server.modules = ( mod_access, mod_simple_vhost, mod_accesslog, mod_cgi, mod_rewrite, mod_auth, mod_fastcgi, mod_redirect ) static-file.exclude-extensions = ( .fcgi, .php, .rb, ~, .inc ) cgi.assign = ( .pl = /usr/bin/perl, .cgi = /usr/local/bin/python, .py = /usr/local/bin/python, .sh = /usr/local/bin/bash ) [...] Is there a command like fuser or lsof which can be used to determine what files this perl instance is using?

kernel errors: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA
Hi all, I have an older P4 running FreeBSD 7.0 which I use as a web/file server, WAP, and ADSL gateway. The OS and /usr partition are on 30 GB Seagate Barracuda IDE drive, ad0. In addition, I have added two 500 GB IDE drives which I scavenged from a pair of La Cie external USB enclosures. The one is a Hitachi, ad2, and the other a Maxtor, ad3. I use this for storing a large collection of MP3s and for backing up the home partitions of several Linux clients on my network. I customarily share ad2 via NFS with my Linux clients. Here is where my problem begins: After mounting the NFS share, the Linux client eventually (24-48 hours) runs into to trouble; the share is no longer visible, and this tends to wreak havoc with Gnome. Looking in dmesg on the client, I see this: nfs: server venus not responding, timed out Looking in /var/log/messages on the FreeBSD server, I see the following (here is a week's worth): Jan 8 03:01:10 venus kernel: ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=287 Jan 8 03:06:06 venus kernel: ad3: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=287 Jan 9 03:01:09 venus kernel: ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=287 Jan 9 03:06:13 venus kernel: ad3: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=287 Jan 10 03:01:10 venus kernel: ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=70508479 Jan 10 03:06:07 venus kernel: ad3: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=287 Jan 10 04:02:35 venus kernel: ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=287 Jan 10 19:26:07 venus kernel: ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=49302399 Jan 11 03:01:10 venus kernel: ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=58711199 Jan 11 03:06:14 venus kernel: ad3: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=287 Jan 11 04:02:27 venus kernel: ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=287 Jan 12 03:01:10 venus kernel: ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=287 Jan 12 03:06:13 venus kernel: ad3: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=287 Jan 13 03:01:10 venus kernel: ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=12159 Jan 13 03:06:14 venus kernel: ad3: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=287 Jan 14 03:01:10 venus kernel: ad2: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=287 Jan 14 03:06:14 venus kernel: ad3: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=287 Any ideas on what is going on here?

The two data drives are still online, and there is no problem accessing them through the server; it is just NFS which can't handle it.

updating a port with problems (libxml2)
Hi all, I use portsnap to keep the port tree of my FreeBSD 7 box up to date. According to portaudit, which I run nightly, there is a problem with the current version of libxml2. So, as usual, I run sudo portsnap fetch sudo portsnap update, and then: $ cd /usr/ports/textproc/libxml2 $ sudo make deinstall $ sudo make reinstall clean But this last command results in an error: === libxml2-2.6.32 has known vulnerabilities: = libxml2 -- two vulnerabilities. Reference: http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/d71da236-9a94-11dd-8f42-001c2514716c.html = Please update your ports tree and try again. It would appear that the port has not yet been updated. Is this some temporary glitch? Otherwise, the approach I use is not very robust, since I have now managed to deinstall a library upon which a dozen or so programs depend. However, this is the first time this has happened. Comments, suggestions most welcome. Thanks. - Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/updating-a-port-with-problems-%28libxml2%29-tp20028504p20028504.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

gateway NAT settings lost
Hi all, I recently ran out of diskspace on the root partition of my FreeBSD 7 box, which serves as a home server/gateway. As a result, when I went to edit my rc.conf file with nano earlier this moth, it couldn't save the changes and the file was written zero-length. Alas, my nightly backup subsequently archived this, and I've now lost the original. I only realized this when I needed to reboot last night. I have now been trying to rebuild my rc.conf settings from scratch. Most things work again now, except I still can't access the web from my LAN clients. 1.) I can get a dhcp lease from the server. 2.) DNS works, ie, $ dig cern.ch returns a DNS record 3.) but $ lynx cern.ch doesn't work. Here is my rc.conf now: check_quotas=NO cron_enable=YES hostname=venus inetd_enable=NO linux_enable=YES moused_enable=YES sshd_enable=YES usbd_enable=YES lighttpd_enable=YES postfix_enable=YES sendmail_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=NO sendmail_outbound_enable=NO sendmail_msp_queue_enable=NO dovecot_enable=YES rpcbind_enable=YES nfs_server_enable=YES mountd_flags=-r # WLAN interface ifconfig_fxp0=DHCP # LAN interface ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 # WIFI interface ifconfig_ath0= smartd_enable=YES pf_enable=YES pflog_enable=YES dhcpd_enable=YES /usr/local/sbin/dnrd -s 208.67.222.222 postgresql_enable=YES obspamd_enable=YES obspamdlog_enable=YES dovecot_enable=YES rsyncd_enable=YES rtadvd_enable=YES I am using PF for NAT, and have the following rule: [...] ext_if = fxp0 [...] nat on $ext_if from !($ext_if) to any - ($ext_if) [...] I must be missing something obvious, but what?

Re: gateway NAT settings lost
Thanks Mel, gateway_enable was what I was missing. I usually use sudo for eding system files, but in this particular instant I was lazy and had set the permissions so I could edit rc.conf without it. :( As I mentioned, I got into this fix because my root partition is full. This is how my 30G drive is partitioned: $df -h /dev/ad0s1a496M493M-37M 108%/ devfs 1.0K1.0K 0B 100%/dev /dev/ad0s1e496M3.2M453M 1%/tmp /dev/ad0s1f 24G6.1G 16G28%/usr /dev/ad0s1d1.4G659M690M49%/var fdescfs1.0K1.0K 0B 100%/dev/fd But for the life of me, I can't figure out what is taking up all the space on root.

ext3 to ufs: filename character encoding woes
Hi all, Using rsync, I copied a collection of MP3s from an ext3 partition on my Linux F9 box to a UFS partition my FreeBSD 7 box. Many of the song titles had accented characters, which are now displayed as two question marks (??) on my FreeBSD system, like this: Toquinho Vinícius - Samba da Benção.mp3 -- Toquinho Vin??cius - Samba da Beno.mp3 Thinking that rsync might be interfering in some way, I checked the man page and found this option to use: -8, --8-bit-output leave high-bit chars unescaped in output but it makes no difference. I then tried copying a file with scp and then just cp across an NFS share. In every case, the accents get hosed. My Linux box is configured for UTF-8: $ cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n LANG=en_US.UTF-8 I would have assumed that this would also be the default setting for FreeBSD, but this appears not to be the case. Googling, I came up with instructions for editing /etc/login.conf, so I added :charset=en_US.UTF-8: under default:\ exited the shell and logged in again, but no change. What I am missing here?

SATA support custom v7.0 kernel
Hi all, I'd like to add a SATA drive to a P4 box that I use as a gateway/server. The MB doesn't have a SATA interface, so I stuck an Initio-based SATA card in the box. The kernel recognizes the card, but the attached drive wasn't displayed when I started up sysinstall to format it. I'm wondering whether I am missing SATA support. I commented out a bunch of stuff such as the SCSI controllers when I compiled the kernel with ALTQ support, but these options *are* included: # SCSI peripherals device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI) device ch # SCSI media changers device da # Direct Access (disks) device sa # Sequential Access (tape etc) device cd # CD device pass # Passthrough device (direct SCSI access) device ses# SCSI Environmental Services (and SAF-TE) Should this be enough?

server (partly) fails: hardware?
Hi all, I have FreeBSD installed on a ~6 year old IBM NetVista box; it serves a headless gateway/server/WAP for my home network. I upgraded it from v6 to v7 in mid January, building a custom kernel with altq and the new scheduler. It has been running fine since early December. However, three times during the past few days, it has stop functioning. The WAN connection dies and I can no longer ssh into the box. However, I can still ping it, and I can still ssh from one LAN client to another via the FreeBSD box. IOW, it seems to be dying, but not freezing, if that makes any sense. Alas, there is nothing in /var/messages to indicate what happens. I don't think it is succumbing to excessive load; it has a 1.6 MHz Pentium IV, 512 MB RAM, rarely uses swap, and the load averages tend to be very light. At this point, I assume a hardware issue, and I can have the box tested by a local whitebox shop later this week, but I am open to other avenues to purse as well.

nfs firewall, hard vs soft mount
Hi all, I have a FreeBSD v7 box set up as gateway/mailserver/WAP. I leave my WAP unencrypted, so my neighbors can use it, and use PF to allow just a few specific services (dhcp dns, http, https). I'd like to be able to mount a couple of NFS shares from a desktop box running Fedora on a wireless client. I've opened the sunrpc and nfs ports in PF, but that doesn't seem to be enough. tcpdump indicates some high upd ports in the 40k-50k range are used in the nfs negotiation, but I can't figure out exactly what is going on. Does anyone know what additional ports need to be opened for nfs? Will I need to use PF to redirect this udf traffic to the fedora host or will it find the nfs server on its own? Also, this page here: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/client.html mentions hard vs soft mounts. Since wifi is ocassionally flaky, and since the wireless client (a laptop) is not always within range, I'd prefer to not to mount them via fstab, but via in a batch file with mount, but that command doesn't appear to support soft mounts. In the past, I've noticed that nautilus etc on the client has a fit when hard-mounted nfs shares disappear. Can anyone recommend a robust way of mounting NFS shares? I've also tried to mount remote file systems using sftp in gnome (ie, sftp://host/dir), but the new gvfs subsystem (which apparently replaces gnome-vfs) still seems flaky; it freezes up my laptop every few times. Another drawback of sftp is that it appears to add some overhead which I notice when watching AVI files -- the media player ocassionally stutters. In any case, suggestions for alternative approaches to mounting remote file systems via wireless would be most welcome. -- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the daemon that won't die
Hi all,
I made the mistake of trying to run greyscanner
http://www.ualberta.ca/~beck/nycbug06/scripts/greyscanner as a
regular user. Now, everytime it runs (every 30 minutes), there is a
cron error from user operator complaining that you need to be root
to run /usr/libexec/save-entropy. Moreover, each time this happens, an
instance of greyscanner, belonging to user operator, remains dormant
in memory, which means an additional instance of perl. After a day or
so most of my swap memory is used. up.
I have tried killing every PID associated with user operator and/or
greyscanner, but like Lazarus the thing keeps rising from the dead
every 30 mins. I can't figure out what process is keeping it alive.
FWIW, here is the relevant snippet from the script:
# daemonize and scan in a loop.
daemonize;
while (1) {
setlogsock('unix');
openlog(greytrapper, 'pid', 'mail') || die can't openlog;
syslog('debug', Scan started);
my $pid;
$pid = fork();
if (!$pid) {
# child. scan away...
scan;
exit(0);
}
# parent waits and sleeps.
wait;
syslog('debug', Scan completed);
sleep($SCAN_INTERVAL);
}
I am not a perl programmer, and it is not immediately obvious what is
going on here.
So, how to I kill this bugger once and for all?
Thanks.

PF vs. ping6
Hi all, I am trying to set up a IPv6 tunnel following the instructions in the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html. aiccu starts ok: # sixxs-aiccu start Tunnel Information for T14342: POP Id : nlams05 IPv6 Local : x2/64 IPv6 Remote : x1/64 Tunnel Type : 6in4-heartbeat Adminstate : enabled Userstate : enabled I can ping6 localhost, I can ping6 the tunnel begin point (local), but I can't ping6 the (remote) end point. Firing up tcpdump, I see that the firewall is blocking the ping packets. I have these (provisional) rules at the top of the filter section in PF: pass quick on fxp0 inet6 # ext if pass quick on gif0 inet6 to no avail; PF is still blocking ping6.

Re: PF vs. ping6
On Fri, Feb 22, 2008 at 1:36 AM, Christopher Cowart I don't use pf, but I'm guessing from the man page that you may need to try: pass quick on fxp0 proto 41 Ah, finally, this works: pass quick on $ext_if proto 41 pass quick on gif0 inet6 which PF interprets as: pass quick on fxp0 proto ipv6 all keep state pass quick on gif0 inet6 all flags S/SA keep state Thanks Christopher, I really appreciate it. -- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

rkhunter: find: /dev/fd/3/* No such file or directory error
Hi all, Lately I have been seeing a lot of errors generated when I run rkhunter on a daily basis by cron: find: /dev/fd/3/sendmail.st: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/3/userlog: No such file or directory find: /dev/fd/3/lastlog: No such file or directory [...] I am afraid I don't know quite enough about the BSD filesystem to know what dev/fd/3 is.

Re: Low Level Language Suggestions: OT
Victor, If you are talking about human language translation, which I gather you are, then the amount of effort you will need to spend on developing and/or acquiring linguistic resources and/or building interfaces for linguists to code dictionaries and grammars, and/or interfaces for editors to render the output in a decent form, and/or tools to clean up the input, will far outweigh in importance the computational efficiency of your algorithms.

spamd-setup can't find spamd.conf
Hi all, I am trying to set up spamd to work in conjunction with pf; as a reference I am using chapter six from Peter Hansteen's The Book of BF, which I picked up today. I've installed the spamd port, which many of you will know calls itself obspamd under FreeBSD, and I have the daemon running now on my v.7-PRELEASE system. But for some reason I can't update the blacklist tables: $ sudo /usr/local/sbin/spamd-setup -n spamd-setup: Can't find all in spamd config: No such file or directory Dan mentions this error message in his tutorial: If you get the following error message: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pfspamd start Starting pfspamd. spamd-setup: Can't find all in spamd config: No such file or directory then you probably forget to create /usr/local/etc/spamd.conf (see above) or you removed the all section from it. [full: http://www.freebsddiary.org/pf.php ] Thing is, the file really is there and contains the all statement: $ grep -A 2 all: /usr/local/etc/spamd.conf all:\ :uatraps:whitelist: Anyone have any idea what is going wrong here?
