Do you have another one-liner that will reproduce it? A simple
/usr/bin/getent group doesn't return dupes for me. Oddly enough, the
*grent code doesn't use an internal counter, so the bug you found in
endpwent doesn't exist in endgrent (afaik; the nsswitch code isn't that
easy to read).
Not really a one-liner:
perl -MData::Dumper -e 'setgrent; my %dupchk; while( my ( $name,
$grpass, $gid, $members ) = getgrent() ) { print $name is returned
more than once (No $dupchk{$name} comes here)\n if( $dupchk{$name}++
); print Dumper( [ $name, $grpass, $gid, $members ] ) };'
setgrent() doesn't work here.
I ran that and got dupes for group entries that exist both in /etc/groups
and
my LDAP source, but that's expected.
You can see here
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/f5100ac6-9418-11df-9ebc-c4a68065c34d
the typical error picture. FreeBSD is the only system, where this error
occurs.
I don't know how to read perl's test output; what part of that report
failed, and how do you know it was due to getgrent returning duplicate
values?
Because I know the error picture - I've seen it on my FreeBSD box first.
I probably should add some diag() output for failing tests ...
BTW - I ran your one-liner above on a SLES 10.2 Linux box and a Solaris 10u7
box, and got duplicate entries where groups existed in both /etc/groups and
LDAP, just like on FreeBSD. I think you may be relying on behaviour that
getgrent doesn't guarantee on any OS.
But the duplicated entries I get are not duplicated in the source. I sent you my
/var/yp/groups file and the output of my one-liner.
I have no LDAP setup to try out, but in this case my workaround could be a good
idea.
Best regards,
Jens

Duplicate entries when iterating using getgrent()
Hi all, I'm currently working on a Perl5 module named DBD::Sys and detected an issue on my FreeBSD test box. When iterating over the users/groups using getpwent/getgrent, I get duplicated entries for some groups. But this are not (only) duplicated entries which occur in both (/etc/group, yp) data sources (like wheel), that are groups like sshd, proxy etc., too. The groups which are affected are all groups with gid 100 and nobody (65534) and nogroup(65533). Any suggestions?

Cross Platform Port Builds
Hi all, I'm going to update my machines and run into a serious problem (for me ^^): Some ports fail to cross build and I fail to setup a sane environment. At first, I created a chroot: /usr/room/$target. Into this chroot, I installed a host world using make installworld DESTDIR=/usr/room/$target/. After that, I created /usr/room/$target/usr/src and /usr/room/$target/usr/ports and mounted /usr/src and /usr/ports to there, respectively. Sure I'd mounted a devfs to /usr/room/$target/dev/. Then I's chrooted to /usr/room/$target/ and change the make.conf as needed for target machine and did make buildworld/buildkernel in /usr/src in the chroot. That worked really fine. But on the target machine not only a FreeBSD base distribution runs, there is a samba, xinetd, ftpproxy and squid also doing some work. So I needed to cross-build those ports, too. I couldn't find a standardized way to do this, so I first created 2 start scripts: waldorf# cat ~/bin/portcross #!/bin/sh env ARCH=i386 TARGET_CPUTPE= CPUTYPE=pentiumpro PATH=/usr/obj/i386/usr/src/tmp/usr/bin/:$PATH $@ waldorf# cat ~/bin/porthost #!/bin/sh env CPUTYPE=nocona $@ portcross I use to make/portupgrade a crossbuild (e.g. squid), porthost to build tools like autoconf. Now I run into problems (as the more expertized may imagine): autoconf needs gettext, samba needs gettext. But the amd64-native auto-tools binaries can't load the ia32 gettext library - and I don't know how to hold them both without running into conflicts. Furthermore perl seems to be resistant against crossbuild by specifying ARCH=i386 make build and above listed portcross. Any idea how to crossbuild perl?

You could do: portupgrade -rf perl p5-\*
I'd imagine -r would mean all p5-* packages are included (since they depend
on perl), but obviously that wasn't the case. If the version of FreeBSD
is 4.x, then that means there is a perl in the base system, and thus all
the p5-* packages probably didn't have perl listed as one of their
dependencies.
Furthermore ${PERL_VER} contains 5.8.0 as long as you didn't update your
/etc/make.conf (which could be easily done by adding
'lang/perl5*' = 'use.perl port',
to the AFTERINSTALL hash in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.
So, even if the dependend packages would be updated, the will fail to
install, 'cause they will be stored in
${LOCALBASE}/lib/perl/site_perl/5.8.0/

Yes, fragments are parts of a block of a filesystem, where several small files or tails of files are stored together to avoid waste of space by using an entire block for a small piece of data. As long as the box is running, you have no worries. If there's ever a significant problem, you'll be told to boot single-user and fix it yourself using 'fsck'. Or you didn't notice.

Maybe this should be fixed some fine day :-) yesterday i was told asked to start archiving httpd-access.logs for analysis over longer periods of time - that i should be keeping a year's worth of logs, if possible. i remember the original reason i set up newsyslog.conf to rotate httpd-access.logs on this machine so frequently is because the webserver is really busy, and this file tends to grow pretty rapidly, and i didn't want to have to log in, stop apache, and archive the logs by hand every day... yesterday i looked into expanding the size of my /var partition by symlinking. -drop to single user mode -stop syslogd -mv /var to /usr/var -umount /var -delete /var directory -create symlink from /usr/var to /var That's really bad, because this means that there will be permanent write accesses to you /usr label. A better way could be a cron job which moves the old http-logs once a day into a place in /usr, eg. /usr/save-logs. it seems easy, and i did it successfully once, but i hosed a (non)production box yesterday practicing the above procedure. i have a number of questions: -if i copy the contents of /var to /usr/var, then delete the var directory, do i need to modify my fstab? If you've done it as described, that would be better. But I think you should re-think about the procedure. my fstab right now looks like /dev/aacd0s1g /usrufs rw 2 2 /dev/aacd0s1e /varufs rw 2 2 -do i need to modify this so that /var now points to a directory inside /usr? and how? -i'm thinking that this may be too risky a procedure to try on a production box (i guess i'm spooked from ruining the practice box...) - anyone think i should just archive these logs by hand to someplace in my home directory (/usr is very large on this box - 65 gb - and hardly used)? my goal is basically to keep an archive of httpd-access.logs for as long as possible to produce a comprehensive webalizer report... thanks again redmond Best, Jens ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Assuming you have your ports in /usr/ports
# cd /usr/ports (Don't whether this is required or not)
# pkg_info | grep libtool
# libtool=#place the found libtool-1.3 port here#
# portupgrade -o devel/libtool13 ${libtool}

I need to apply a patch to a port so my modem could work with mgetty+sendfax; how do I do that ? Do I have to edit the Makefile or pass options to the make command ? That's quite easy. See FreeBSD Porter's Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ Than you should check where your patch is to be applied to, either to the port (eg. for upgrading or fix fbsd specific behaviour) or to the original sources? If you can answer the first question with true, you should patch the according files, you know which. If the second answer is true, you should send your patches to the author/mailing list of the original sources. Just to give you an example. a) If I want to have the FreeBSD php4-port is able to work with thttpd, I have to update the lang/php4/Makefile and lang/php4/bsd.php.mk to recognize a new flag for the port and choosing it's dependencies right. This patch I will send to the FreeBSD Gnats database and to the ports maintainer using send-pr(1). b) If I want php - just as example - be able to use libpopt (option parsing library, better than getopt()), I have to patch php and please the php developers to include the patch into the next release. Is it clear so far? If not, feel free to ask again :-) 2. Can I have a port directory, like /usr/ports/personnal (or in another place), of my own that I can add to the regular ports tree ? Yes, on you own machine you can have each directory you want.

Best would be to set the machine in single user mode, either by booting using 'boot -s' or using 'shutdown now'. Please don't do this if you don't have physical access to console If you're in single user mode, choose a shell you want to use. /bin/sh is a good choice.

Ok.
Within the jailed hosts, I have turned off the portmap, syslogd, sendmail,
and inetd daemons and am running only cron and sshd daemons upon start up.
But when I attempt to ssh into one of the jailed hosts, the connection
times out and reports: Connection closed by 192.168.1.100.
Maybe starting sshd in debug mode could be very helpful.
A partial sockstat reading while the hosts are attempting to connect
shows:

A quick description of the addresses:

192.168.53.1 - IP address of jail(8)'d tinydns server host
ssh used with which command? And - using 3 -v's may help get more info, too.
ssh debugging output shows:

It doesn't hang. If it would hang, it wouldn't tell you that the remote
host has closed the connection. Enabling syslog in the jail (you didn't
have to enable networking syslog!) and starting sshd in debug mode will
give you some important information.
The messages, security, and auth logs under /var/log in the jail'd host
are completly empty. Under the host machine logs , there is nothing as
well.
This is, because you have disabled syslogd. You should thinking about
enabling it but protect it against external access using ipfiler or
ipfirewall.
I'm at a loss of what else to trouble shoot. I'm not subscribed to the

Anyone knows about this? ports/devel/pth are GNU Portable Threads which implements threading support using a common interface for all systems. php4 requires this for working with apache2 (what is declared as experimental). Because of apache2 and php4 work under unix and windows (os/2, beos, ...), at least mod_php4 might require sth. like pth for having the same interface to a thread library on all systems.

If you finished to backup all you need to an external source (tape, 2nd computer, cd-r), you can try to boot from FreeBSD 4.7-CD and look if sysinstall detects the labels and is able to use them. You can easily set mount points for everything sysinstall detects without need to format it. But remember: if you merge config files and/or binaries from both systems, they may occur very funny errors.

Accepting this proposal will reduce the capacity ( because of bad blocks (they aren't there) ) and produce error messages running FreeBSD. I don't understand what you tried to do. If you boot the 4.7-RELEASE install CD-ROM, sysinstall(8) utility starts and guides you through the installation sequence. If you use the builtin fdisk frontend, you never should be bothered with harddisk geometry. That seems very confusing to me.

I cannot understand that!
If you want to install FreeBSD with a common set of applications
on several computers how would you do that efficiently when
getting the corresponding package set is so difficult?
Thanks again for any good ideas concerning this problem.

Hello,
I've been experimenting with FreeBSD since the day
day before yesterday. Coming from the MS-world I am very
impressed already.
I installed the system from a CD created from the Mini-Iso-Image.
Installing packages with pkg_add -r I would like to have local
copies of the downloaded tarball in order to create an adapted
CD with the packages I really need (just for the case of a new-
or re-installation).
Of course, all the depending package-tarballs should be download
as well - otherwise I could also ftp them manually.
Furthermore it would be really nice if the directory structure of
the FTP-Server was duplicated locally as well.
I know (from experimenting) that make package within the ports
collection
can archieve something similar (packages are created under
/usr/ports/packages
if existent). But following this strategy in my opinion has 3 major
disadvantages:
1) Compiling packages like XFree86-4 takes quite a long time on my
machnine.
Solution a) Buy a faster machine. Compile takes it's time
Solution b) Do not compile but download
Solution c) Wait
Solution d) reduce your optimization level
2) It is impossible to create a package without installing it.
In case of the package is installed already make returns an error
telling me to deinstall the package first.

However, if i DELETE something from /home/mike (or whereever) It never gets deleted from labs2. So its not synching correctly. For example i just went to zip -r cvsup-backup cvsup-backup on labs2, so i can pull it to XP and burn it, and i realized it had my library still in there which i deleted months ago. Any help on this is appreciated, and no need to CC me, as my website mirrors your archives and they will soon span across multiple pages as well as be searchable. I do not know how to do it using cvsup, but if you use a simple cvs-repository, it will work fine if you do a cvs up on your backup machine (regular check in preconditioned).

I have tried both versions of samba 2.2.6 and 3.0a21 installed by the ports distributions, and 2.2.7 compiled with no specific options (just ./configure). My kernel configuration is the same as the GENERIC kernel, i have just disabled the drivers that i didn't need. Ok. Would please be so kind and go to the directory /usr/ports/net/samba and type make build install clean and restart the samba service. I'm interested if it may have sth. to do with that. The exact problem is that it works perfectly when i start my computer (the server), but 10 to 20 minutes later, the samba server doesn't reply. When i disconnect my client and that i try to reconnect it, a message from windows tells me that my password is wrong or the access to the session server has been refused. When i try to recieve my mails, it can't connect neither... On the server, i have the message that i told higher, kernel: psmintr delay too long When i restart the network by /etc/netstart, it works again very well, and it falls back again later... psmintr has to do with the PS/2 device, so I do not assume it causes samba to fail. When it falls back, i have no traces in my log files... I heard that it could come from of an isntability of the network from freebsd, but i'm not sure of this... It sounds to me like a hardware failure. If the psm device causes problems as well as samba - may be a defect memory module? I have an ASUS A7V333 motherboard, and what is dmesg, and psmintr ? (i'm Type into your console dmesg|less or man dmesg and man 4 psm new on freebsd, only twoo weeks...) Do you have an idea ?

The question below is not security related. Maybe that's why you didn't get an answer. I have a small question. When I was administering one freebsd box the things were quite easily. I could easily read the emails that were sent to root, the logcheck reports and the tripwire reports. You can also easily sent the messages to a central mail account and read them at once. After administering one box, I was made responsible for other freebsd boxes...The fact is that now the email reports have been multiplied. Also making all the neccesary upgrades, monitoring and other everyday things has been made very time consuming. My question is...Is there any usefull guide or book of how you can administer efficiently large number of freebsd boxes in term of security, upgrades and software deployment? My job is not being a full day system administrator and thus I have to be involved as low time i administering the boxes as possible. Did you read the FreeBSD handbook and the book The complete FreeBSD? If not, it's a good start. You can find many things at http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html and http://www.freebsdmall.com/ - but I do not really understand what are you searching for, so a quick check by you may help you to decide :-) Thank you very much in advance for any usefull tip!

what is the difference in tag definition I see no difference.
both of us update ports for HEAD tag.
But in the style of the file. Please use a single line like
*default tag=.
to write your wanted tag to a single line as I do. If that wouldn't help
(but I'm sure you tried), delete your ports/multimedia and cvsup again.
If that wont work, try to get ports-all and define a refuse file
