I've used sysutils/healthd out of ports.  Works well, lightweight. 
Probably not for use with every motherboard.

Re: 5.4 NFS install broken?

2005-05-29 Thread David P. Discher

Well, not broken, but its does not look like it was documented.

I was just doing this yesterday, copied ISO #1 completely, then in cd#2

# cd /iso2/packages ; tar -cf - | tar -xvf - -C /nfsinstall/ 
packages


The file packages/INDEX needs to be updated.  I don't know how
to create this, so I went the ftp servers, and grabbed the INDEX
from the combined release.

There is a PROBLEM WITH THIS INDEX file.  There are TWO entries for
perl in it.  Perl 5.6.2 and 5.8.2 I do believe. The two CD ISOs
only contained perl 5.8.2.  Vi and delete the 5.6.2 line, and
this seemed to work. (Don't quote me on exact version numbers.)

I also did this, not sure if this is needed.

# cd /nfsinstall; rm filename.txt
# find . -type f | sed -e 's/^\.\///' | sort  filename.txt

per section 3.4
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/release- 
build.html



btw - sort of related, I posted yesterday:
FreeBSD 5.3/5.4 - pxeboot hosting on em0 Intel 82540EM

Would love feedback on this.

How does one create the NFS installation directory for FreeBSD-5.4 ?

I.e. is it supposed to be as simple as dumping the entire contents
of CD#1  CD#2 into a directory on an NFS server, and pointing
'sysinstall' to it?

I've been doing 4.x  5.x NFS installs successfully with an NFS
server's repositories setup in that manner, but with FreeBSD-5.4 ,
'sysinstall' prompted for the next disc, and I had no apparent
way of selecting a different media or different source.

I'm thinking I must not be getting (parts of?) CD#2 into the right
place, and/or need to update a table-of-contents file, or something
equally simple.

If there's a different/better way (e.g. not using CDs at all) to
build a FreeBSD-5.4 repository suitable for NFS installation purposes,
advice on that would also be welcome.

The Handbook chapter on installations is pretty good, but it sort
of glosses over the details in the Advanced Installation (2.13.6.1)
section, and I suspect it might not be quite as simple for 5.4 .

Thanks,
sr.

Re: 5.4 NFS install broken?

2005-05-29 Thread David P. Discher




What was wrong with the INDEX from the ISO image?



Well, maybe its not specifically INDEX, but when combining the two
iso images in a single directory, sysinstall isn't aware that there
is only a single, combine directory.

Sorry ! I also left off I editted the cdrom.inf file, removing the  
CD_VOLUME line.



This isn't a problem, they are two different packages coming from two
different ports.  Why do you think it was a problem?



From what i can tell, both versions of perl were not
included on the ISOs I grabbed. Though it may be that on
the FTP sites, the INDEX file is correct and there are
two versions of perl in packages/


So, what happens, sysinstall errors, though does not fail,
in that it can't install perl.

And of course without the combined INDEX file, there is a bunch
of stuff it can't find, or prompts for disk 2 (actually it says
disk 0 is done, and needs disk 1).

I have not tried using both CDROMs, I've been trying to do
net-boot and installs, and NFS installs.

FreeBSD 5.3/5.4 - pxeboot hosting on em0 Intel 82540EM

2005-05-28 Thread David P. Discher


Netboot and Installing FreeBSD over em0 GigE link

I am having an issue with pxeboot/BTX loader mounting/contacting a  
TFTP server or NFS server that is hosted on machine with an Intel  
GigE em0 ethernet card.


pxeboot comes over (via 82540EM bios), loader comes over, but the  
load says it can figure out what the root disk is.   So the loader  
cannot find /boot/defaults/loader.conf, that is were it stops.


Any ideas ?  Anyone use the if_em on FreeBSD to perform netboots/ 
netinstalls ?



[EMAIL PROTECTED]:6:0:   class=0x02 card=0x002e8086 chip=0x100e8086  
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00

vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
device   = '82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller'
class= network
subclass = ethernet


Two near identical machines using this card in a cross-over (as the  
private link).


I have a third machine that I have networked booted with the same  
kernel and loader/pxeboot binaries, and mfsboot, but both machines in  
that configuration are using fxp cards.


( BTW - the pxeboot documentation needs some correction for the 5.4  
release.

  Will post my notes later. )

rcNG/rc_ng, using rcorder in /usr/local/etc/rc.d

2004-09-20 Thread David P. Discher

Learn something new every day, just learning the internals of
FreeBSD-5.2.1 (have been sticking to the 4.x-STABLEs) and rolling out my
first 5.x system.

rcNG is really nice, but where is rcorder being kicked off on
/usr/local/etc/rc.d to use rcNG...

I  see that /etc/rc.d/localpkg is still skimming for *.sh and running
them, and not doing the rcorder method.

HELP: Exim - SMTP AUTH, STARTTLS, and PAM or pwcheck on FreeBSD

2003-03-05 Thread David P. Discher
--- Sorry if this gets posted twice, sigh, email issues  -

I've been playing with exim for a little bit now, my new server I'm going to
roll out I would like to use exim instead of sendmail.  So far, exim is much
nicer to use, however, I am at a loss where to go now.

I figure many would like to have the following ...

SMTP standard receive on port 25

Relaying supported on 25 via STARTTLS + SMTP AUTH
SSL Tunneled on port 485 + SMTP AUTH

I've gotten the tunneled part to work.  I got port 25 going.  I can't get
AUTH to work, and haven't tried STARTTLS yet.

My authenticators section, I have so far:

fixed_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = Username:: : Password::
server_condition=${if pam{$1:$2}{1}{0}}
#   server_condition = ${if pam{$1:${sg{$2}{:}{::}}}{yes}{no}}
#   server_condition = ${if pwcheck{$1:$2}{1}{0}}
server_set_id = $1

Note, the commented sections I have tired each and still generate the errors
below.


 2003-03-05 12:28:46 Authentication failed for ([192.168.22.101])
 [192.168.22.101]: 435 Unable to authenticate at present (set_id=dpd): cannot
 connect to pwcheck daemon

 2003-03-05 12:58:00 Authentication failed for ([192.168.22.101])
 [192.168.22.101]: 535 Incorrect authentication data (set_id=dpd)


I have not modified /etc/pam.conf yet.

Anyone got some tips, help, advice where to go next - it seems like is a
PAM/pwcheck issue, not exim at this point, or a draft at an HOWTO ?
Specifics on exim and freebsd seem to be few right now.

 random rant 

Anyone know how to get your IPS out of SPEWS ?  My ISP had some spammers
they ditched a while back, but SPEWS has the whole dag IP range listed.  The
ISP has tried multiple times, but the WHOIS records still are pointed into
the IP range (which they can't control), even though the co-los have been
kicked out, but SPEWS wouldn't drop the blocks.
