Portupgrade fails to upgrade after using portsnap
Hi all, For a long time I've been using cvsup and portupgrade to update the ports tree once a week; this has worked well for years now. Recently though I changed to using portsnap to update the ports tree, still using portupgrade once a week to update the ports. I followed the method outlined in the handbook more or less for upgrading using portsnap, essentially running a cronjob: portsnap cron portsnap update portupgrade -arRF pkg_version -v -I -l to grab and extract the latest port snapshot, fetch any newer port distfiles/tarballs and then report by mail what ports are out of date. This worked well for a few weeks up until Feb 25th - since then not a single out of date port has been reported and 'portupgrade -arR' fails to upgrade anything. I thought this might have been to do with the recent ports freeze, though checking now I see that only went on from the start of March... I've changed back to use cvsup and the old method - basically 'cvsup -g -L2 supfile cd /usr/ports make fetchindex portsdb -u' - but still no joy. I was convinced it was the ports db files that were out of synch and thought this might do the trick to fix the problem, but unfortunately no - if I view the resulting INDEX file from this procedure I can see there are ports out of date as well, it's just 'portupgrade -arR' etc refuses to find any updates. Questions then: What could the problem be? For future reference what is the best way to purge the ports system of out of date db files and regenerate them all so 'portupgrade -arRi' will work?

It just didn't do what you wanted. First, portsnap requires fetch to get the files it needs, 'portsnap upgrade' doesn't do that. You need to run 'portsnap fetch upgrade' or 'portsnap fetch' ' portsnap upgrade'. Had you done that, it probably would have worked and you would have gotten something from the portupgrade portion of your cronjob. As it was, there was nothing new for portupgrade to work with and report. Ok, I think you posted that before I clarified things in my last post :) By the by anyway... the issue I have is that when I run pkg_version or portversion I'm told there are a dozen or so ports need upgrading. However when I run portupgrade, portupgrade finds no ports to upgrade. Very frustrating.

Is there any way to blacklist IPs at the system level, or do I have to hack something together for each daemon? The best defense is a good firewall, good passwords, and restriction of user ids that may login remotely. I started blocking the addresses that attacked but the frequency of the attacks made it impractical to add every attacking address to the firewall ruleset. I came to the conclusion that as long as the items you mention above are in place - especially good passwords - and the attacks aren't saturating the connection, then there's little to worry about - perhaps on a par with portscanning. Another fairly simple option though is to just change the port that sshd listens on since the attacks presume that sshd is listening on port 22. Not always practical though if you have lots of users. -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ http://freebsd.munk.nu/ - A FreeBSD Diary http://ipfwstats.sf.net/- ipfw peruser traffic logging ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

make broken in ports when DATE environment variable set
I've just gone to run the weekly 'portupgrade -ari' and found that the make process is failing anywhere in /usr/ports. An example of the output is: [8:28:01] [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/ports# portupgrade vim --- Upgrading 'vim-6.3.16' to 'vim-6.3.45' (editors/vim) --- Building '/usr/ports/editors/vim' with make flags: -DNO_GUI === Cleaning for libiconv-1.9.2_1 === Cleaning for libtool-1.5.10 === Cleaning for vim-6.3.45 20041211: not found *** Error code 127 Stop in /usr/ports/editors/vim. Manually changing to /usr/ports/editors/vim and issuing a 'make clean make' command fails with the same error message as above. Anyway with some digging about I found this entry in /usr/ports/CHANGES: 20041209: AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The following changes were committed: * Define new macros: DATE, FMT, MKTEMP, OBJDUMP, and use command macro SORT. By coincidence I have a DATE variable set in my shell rc file and it appears to be this that is stopping the make process in the ports tree. Issuing 'unsetenv DATE' prior to running 'make' in the ports tree actually fixes the problem. My question then is whether this is something that is known or whether I should send a problem report or what? I've had a quick search for PRs relating to the problem but couldn't see anything. I can live with having to run 'unsetenv DATE' any time I need to modify the ports, but perhaps there are wider consequences of this problem?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
First problem I ran into. I'm attempting to send the mail via `which
mail`. I first was going to attempt to concatenate the message via
message=${message}$'\n'other line However, this strips the newlines
out of the variable (both sh and bash). I then tried using the string
redirection in bash/sh and same thing happened.
I believe this happens because the default input field separator (the
environment variable $IFS) is set to space by default and so newlines
are just 'squashed'. Effectively all newlines are stripped out.
As a test you can try this:
-snip-
#!/bin/sh
message=Hi!
This is a test.
Another line.
Last line.
# OFS=$IFS
# IFS=
echo $message
# IFS=$OFS
-snip-
If you run the script once with the commented lines, you should see
the same problem you've encountered already. Newlines are replaced
with spaces.
However if you then remove the comments so that the $IFS variable is
unset before echoing the message (first saving the original value to
$OFS) and run it, the script should display the lines as intended,
newlines intact. Finally the last commented line resets $IFS to it's
original value - script execution can be messed up later if you don't
do this.
My next thought was to open an fd through which to pipe output since the
shells support it. However, it seems they only support opening a file for
read/write, not a pipe.
So, my ultimate question is, is there any way to send an email from a
shell script without creating a wrapper script that pipes the output of
one script into the mail program. Ie script1 contains only script2 | mail
recip.
You can always try this as well to find scripts that contain the kind
of code you want to emulate:
file /usr/local/bin/* | grep Bourne | cut -f1 -d: | xargs grep mail
which gives you a list of bourne shell scripts residing in
/usr/local/bin that contain reference to the string 'mail' - those
scripts that might contain mailer code.
Running this now I remember checking out the 'flea' script before for
an example before - another is the freebsd problem report script -
send-pr. I think those scripts cat the message content out to a
temporary file first and then pipe that file back to the sendmail
command - or some variation on that theme.

I don't want to flood you with too many details, but we want to archive
messages (including message body) to a MySQL database, so that we can
quickly run queries and review messages from months/years ago - no matter
who's mailbox it ended up in.
To accomplish this, we need to first log the message body somehow...
anyhow... then commit the logs to the MySQL database.
I'd settle for learning how to do the first step. I've read through Exim
docs and Sendmail docs, as well as various newsgroups - plenty of info on
logging various data - but nothing on message bodies. I posted a message to
the Exim news group - but no luck there.
I'm not set on Exim - I just want to log message bodies. Any help or a push
in the right direction would be GREATLY appreciated.
If it helps, there's a reply on the exim-users list about archiving all
email passing through the mta 'unseen'. I'll paste the relevant parts,
for the whole thread you might want to check out the MARC mailing list
archives - you should be able to find the thread by searching on the
subject line or one of the other identifying headers.
As for the rest of your problem, no doubt it's been done before of
course, the hard part is finding out how :P The exim list is worth
checking out if you decide to go down that route, the people on that

See the | description of the smtp transport in chapter 30 for more details. | Section 30 details the use of the 'interface' option to specify which network interface should be used when delivering mail in your exim smtp transport: interface Type: string list*Default: unset This option specifies which interface to bind to when making an outgoing SMTP call. The variables $host and $host_address refer to the host to which a connection is about to be made during the expansion of the string. Forced expansion failure, or an empty string result causes the option to be ignored. Otherwise, after expansion, the string must be a colon- separated list of IP addresses, for example: interface = ; 192.168.123.123 ; 3ffe::836f::fe86:a061 The first interface of the correct type (IPv4 or IPv6) is used for the outgoing connection. If none of them are the correct type, the option is ignored. If interface is not set, or is ignored, the system's IP functions choose which interface to use if the host has more than one. Given this if you add: interface = 192.168.0.3 to your smtp transport perhaps this will solve the problem. I'm not too sure about named, but presumably there is something similar.

Not sure what's up with that, but I'm curious if there's a way to log what IP address this is coming from. I don't have IPFW enabled yet as I haven't had the time to configure it at this point as it's currently behind the company firewall on our T3. Is there a way to log where it's coming from? Or is that already being logged somewhere? As a temporary measure you could always enable 'log_in_vain' via sysctl: sysctl net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain=1 sysctl net.inet.udp.log_in_vain=1 adding: log_in_vain=YES to /etc/rc.conf if you want this functionality to be enabled at boot time. This configures the freebsd kernel to log any connection attempts made via udp or tcp to ports that are not open (ie log connection attempts made in vain). You'd then want to make sure syslogd is configured to log the info to a file: kernel.debug/var/log/kern_debug.log although this will probably dump a lot of other stuff to /var/log/kern_debug.log as well - see syslog(8) and syslog(5) for more info on configuring syslog - or google for: sysctl log_in_vain syslog.conf :P Note also importantly - log_in_vain is a _very_ poor substitute for a firewall for logging this kind of info.

If it is not set when quota_warn_threshold is set, it defaults to quota_warn_message = \ To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Your mailbox\n\n\ This message is automatically created \ by mail delivery software.\n\n\ The size of your mailbox has exceeded \ a warning threshold that is\n\ set by the system administrator.\n quota_warn_thresholdType: string* Default: 0 This option is expanded in the same way as quota (see above). If the resulting value is greater than zero, and delivery of the message causes the size of the file or total space in the directory tree to cross the given threshold, a warning message is sent. If quota is also set, the threshold may be specified as a percentage of it by following the value with a percent sign. For example: quota = 10M quota_warn_threshold = 75% If quota is not set, a setting of quota_warn_threshold that ends with a percent sign is ignored. The warning message itself is specified by the quota_warn_message option, and it must start with a To: header line containing the recipient(s). A Subject: line should also normally be supplied. The quota option does not have to be set in order to use this option; they are independent of one another except when the threshold is specified as a percentage. -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ http://jez.hancock-family.com/ - personal weblog http://ipfwstats.sf.net/- ipfw peruser traffic logging ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Size of /var worries me

What worries me however is the size of my /var directory. You might consider symlinking /var to /usr/var perhaps - unless you have any other spare space that you can allocate to the /var fs - 67MB is quite small, especially if you intend to use any databases at any point in time. The best way to go about symlinking /var to somewhere else is to go into single user mode at boot time (or kill all processes that use anything under /var), move /var to /usr/var and then symlink /var to /usr/var. This isn't really the best solution in terms of performance (although you wouldn't notice on a low load system), but unless you have extra free disk space you can allocate to /var or are prepared to reinstall - allocating more space to /var in the installation - then the symlinking option is viable. I also had to get rid of a pkg.db file in the /var/db/pkg directory because it took a lot of space. As a note, the pkg.db file is quite important - port installations register themselves in the /var/db/pkg/pkg.db database and this is used to check on dependencies etc, a little bit like the windows registry is used (only a little!). Generally deleting files from under /var isn't the best solution :P q1) Do I have to worry about my /vardirectory Yes, FreeBSD uses the /var filesystem to log things to (/var/log), to keep check on the state of daemons (/var/state, /var/run), to lock files (/var/lock) and numerous other things. Not to mention that databases are by default installed into /var/db/mysql for example in the case of mysql. Generally the /var filesystem is very important for the day-to-day running of a FreeBSD system. q2) How can I get rid of files I don't need (like XFree86.0.log..) As mentioned above it's generally not a good idea to delete files from /var/ on an ad-hoc basis. A better plan: organize a logfile rotation policy so that old logfiles are rotated out of /var/log into a backup location which has enough space. See the manpage on newsyslog for info on this. configure daemons so that they only log what is absolutely necessary for your needs. -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ http://jez.hancock-family.com/ - personal weblog http://ipfwstats.sf.net/- ipfw peruser traffic logging ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was reading through 'Absolute BSD' last night and was reading up on the
section on port's. I was unaware that with ports, you can actually edit the
makefile to add certain options at installation time. Sorta like
./configure when you install programs from source correct?
Pretty much - the port maintainer has to decide which of the configure
options he wants to allow the port user/admin to turn on/off and then
add code to the Makefile for the port to handle the case that certain
make environment variables are set. See below...
I have been working with cyrus-imapd as im going to roll out a mail server
here pretty soon.
Looking at the make file, I see this:
.if defined(WITH_BDB_VER)
USE_BDB_VER=${WITH_BDB_VER}
.else
USE_BDB_VER=3
.endif
.if ${USE_BDB_VER} == 41

.elif ${USE_BDB_VER} == 4
LIB_DEPENDS+= db4.0:${PORTSDIR}/databases/db4
.elif ${USE_BDB_VER} == 3
LIB_DEPENDS+= db3.3:${PORTSDIR}/databases/db3

CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-seen-db=skiplist
.endif
.if defined(WITH_MURDER)
With what is listed above, you can actually specify what and how you want
the software built?
For instance:
make WITH_BDB_VER=41 WITH_SKIPLIST=YES WITH_MURDER install clean
Would setup cyrus-imapd with Berkeley db41, with_skiplist and with murder
correct? Or not?
Almost - you would do:
make -DWITH_BDB_VER=41 -DWITH_SKIPLIST=YES -DWITH_MURDER install clean
Lastly, since there are quite a few options that you can use to compile
with most programs, is it possible to specify them somehow at the command
line when installing through the ports tree?
Generally you can only set options as in the above example - that's to
say the port maintainer decides which options are going to be
overridable by the end user (ie the user that's installing the port).
In most cases this is sufficient though, most of the ports contain
enough options most users will ever need - you would probably only ever
need additional options at the point you need to tweak an application to
perform better - at which point you're probably ready to modify the
FreeBSD Makefiles yourself anyway! :P
If you search through your Makefile for 'if defined', you usually get an
idea of the options that you're allowed to set - as you can see in the
Makefile snippet you pasted above the options you can set include
WITH_SKIPLIST, WITH_SKIPLIST_MBOX, WITH_SKIPLIST_SEEN and so on.
Sometimes some ports can be a real pain to remember how you last
configured them - which is where it can be useful to use the portupgrade
tool (in /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade). With portupgrade you can
upgrade ports easily when new versions are released and by setting
options in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf you can let portupgrade know
what make options you want used with your ports when you upgrade.
There's an article/guide I wrote about portupgrade here:
http://jez.hancock-family.com/archives/15_Portupgrade_and_usrlocaletcpkgtoolsconf.html
For more info check out the man pages for ports, which contains lots of

'install' in 'make clean install' are both 'targets' to the make
command). Of course there's also the freebsd handbook section about the
ports tree. Also useful reading is the 'bleeding edge' section of the
handbook regarding cvsup, again detailed in the handbook.
Also the freebsd-questions list is full of questions about ports and
setting options for make. A searchable archive is here:
http://freebsd.rambler.ru/
There's loads of info there about FreeBSD ports :P

Have a look for one of the dyndns update applications in the ports tree (look in /usr/ports/dns/ especially - from experience ddclient worked well for me:P). After you install install the one you want, the port installation should place a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d that will start the application when the machine boots. Note however that for scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d to run at boot time, they must: - be executable (ie have the executable bit set - use chmod to do this) - end in .sh (a lot of the time port installations will install scripts into /usr/local/etc/rc.d with the extension .sh.sample - you need to rename it to end in .sh before it will run on boot) For more info on all of the above read up on the section on ports in the freebsd handbook and the man pages for rc, ports, mv and chmod.

You already mentioned spamassassin which I think is fairly standard, but again I don't know how it would scale for large numbers of users. Also you'd have to consider your privacy policy and whether you want to completely drop all mail very likely to be spam or whether you just want to rewrite the 'subject:' header to indicate that the mail might be spam. As an ISP user I'm not sure I'd like my ISP to just delete emails automaticaly on my behalf (even though as a mail server admin I do know that dropping mails that have an SA score of over say 30 are very very unlikely to contain spam).

I believe you can force the mod_php4 port to install for apache2 using
'WITH_APACHE2'. Having said this though last time I looked the mod_php4
port automatically detects what version of apache you're running so you
don't even need to use WITH_APACHE2.
Here it is - in /usr/ports/lang/php4/Makefile (which the mod_php4 make
process uses):

I seem to remember reading on the list that if you run make in /usr/ports/lang/php4 without explicitly asking for either mod_php4 or php4-cli/cgi, then by default it will install php4-cli and mod_php4 IF it finds you have apache installed. Worth trying out perhaps. -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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... You can try playing with the various /etc/rc.conf settings to tweak console display. I have this in mine: keymap=uk.cp850 keyrate=fast font8x8=swiss-8x8 allscreens_flags=80x50 This is ok for me here in the UK - you might have to play around with different fonts if you use a different keymap. The screen flags setting just changes the display to 80x50 instead of the default 80x25. Note you can test those settings out from the console using kbdcontrol. -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
