cpio misunderstanding?
Let me state a couple of given's up front:
1) I would post this on a FreeSBIE list if I could find one.
2) I think the issue I have right now is not understanding completely the
limitations of cpio.
My problem is that when building the file system to use for making the iso
cpio fails when copying some of the files saying Operation not permitted.
These are some of the files fairly important to the operating system like
libexec/ld-elf.so.1 and lib/libc.so.7.
I don't see any reason for copying the other 16,540 files and failing on
these 22 important files.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a better understanding of
what's going on, or even just call me an idiot and tell me the simple thing
I've missed? Either will be appreciated.
Joe.
Details
I'm using 8.1-STABLE FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #2, and freesbie-2.0.20070710 from
ports. I've updated the kernel conf file to match GENERIC, with the
following lines from the original FreeSBIE kernel added at the end:
device bktr
options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
device pf
device pflog
device pfsync
options IPSTEALTH
options IPDIVERT
options GEOM_UZIP
options GEOM_LABEL
options VESA
options SC_PIXEL_MODE
The system seems to build fine but hits a snag in this section of the
script:
# If FILE_LIST isn't defined...
if [ -z ${FILE_LIST:-} ]; then
# then copy the whole filesystem
find . -print -depth | cpio -dump -l -v ${CLONEDIR} ${LOGFILE}
21
else
# else pass it to cpio
... more code to dump filenames from ${FILE_LIST} to cpio ...
fi
If I try to run it manually on one of the files that fails, I get this:
slug# echo /usr/local/freesbie-fs/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 | cpio -dump -l -v
/usr/local/freesbie-clone
/usr/local/freesbie-clone/usr/local/freesbie-fs/libexec/ld-elf.so.1
cpio: Can't create '/usr/local/freesbie-clone/usr/local/freesbie-
fs/libexec/ld-elf.so.1': Operation not permitted
0 blocks
I can use cp to copy the file, so I don't understand what's going on here.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Does anyone have any ideas? I don't know if this is your problem, but whenever I see that Operation not permitted error I start to suspect file flags. You might want to check for extra flags put on the source file or destination directory and see if anything weird had been set on it. You can look at the flags with the command ls -lao. You may also want to do a man chflags and read the manual page there. OK, now I know what's going on. I just don't know why. The immutable flag was set on all these files, if you clear it cpio will happily copy them to the new directory. I'm guessing it's a change in how the installation copies the files with the schg intact, I ran into a discussion about that from 2008. The original FreeSBIE scripts were based on FBSD 6.2 and maybe never ran into this issue. I don't quite get why this works this way though. I understand the immutable flag will keep the file itself from being changed, deleted or moved. But I don't see in any documentation that the immutable flag will not allow a file to be copied. I did note that when using the 'cp' command it cleared the immutable bit on the new file instead of keeping it, but at least it makes the copy.

Re: kde/kdm + nsswitch + ldap = nologon
I'd like to duplicate your setup none-the-less to learn. Can you provide
all the pam files, showconfig for the openldap and kdm-related port so I
can run with the same port?
gdm offers pam integration by the description. I'd be looking at options
in pam, and making sure the console logins work off pam too to make the
comparison to apples to apples the same.
Please give me the showconfig from the items above.
Was going to send as an e-mail to keep the gigantic post off the list, but
my mailer went stupid this morning...
OK...we'll start with the server. Note that while I'm using the SASL
portion of the port, I'm not using any of the SASL type functionality yet.
Just incase you missed the part from the original post... I ran into a bug
report from last summer that appears to still be open with exactly the same
issue (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=124321). I get the same
error messages and such, with any luck it's based on misconfiguration of
something.
I hope all of this helps.
Joe.

kde/kdm + nsswitch + ldap = nologon
I'm trying to implement SSO using Samba-3.2.4 with an LDAP backend. The intent is to use ldap directly for FBSD clients and Samba for MS Windows clients. The LDAP server (openldap 2.4.11) is running on a FBSD 6.3 server and is setup and seems to be working fine, I can log in locally or through SSH using the ldap accounts. I'm working on the first client which is a FBSD 7.1 machine. I can use ldap to login on this machine, but I'm having issues with logging in using kdm. I can see all the users both from local files and from ldap, but I can't log in using either. Even when kdm won't allow a login, I can ctrlaltF8 and get a normal login shell and login with local or ldap accounts. The ldap lines are included in my /etc/pam.d/kde file. If I remove ldap from the nsswitch.conf file it will start working with local logins on kdm again. I ran into a bug report from last summer that appears to still be open with exactly the same issue (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=124321).

Your LDAP implementation is re-authenticating/re-authorizing on every service. I'm by NO means an expert with pam -- it confuses me, but there are some basic concepts that I think there might be missing in your setup. First question I've got is shouldn't you need to create the rules for kdm in a file called 'kdm' in pam? Second is that some options/arguments that pam can use such as USE_FIRST_PASS would probably help you here. Third is whether the sufficient/required column in the pam file is there. Now we have to deal weather kdm uses pam or nsswitch. And if it uses nsswitch, then we have to go through all that troubleshooting all over again. Or maybe it doesn't even have any concept to use alternate auth mechanisms other than just the local files... I'm only providing an insight to something your eyes may have overlooked. I hope this triggers something to get it working. G'luck Thanks for the thoughts, I had Kerberos set up once when I was going the other way...with all clients working through an AD domain. I'm trying to go the other way now and get everything working through a Samba Domain. I might look into it again in the future once I get the basics working. I thought maybe I had it when you mentioned creating rules for kdm instead of kde in pam. Unfortunately it didn't work. kdm seems to use nsswitch to get the names, because if I use the line passwd: files ldap in nsswitch.conf kdm shows me all the ldap users as well as the local users with their icons down the left side of the login window. I just can't use them to login, no matter what I do it tells me my password is invalid. I can't even get it to login with a local account from 'files'. What I can do is drop to one of the other ttys and use an accounts with the same password that failed in kdm to login. I'm using the same pam file for login as I am for kde (and now kdm). All I have to do is change the line to passwd: files and I can login again with the local accounts through kdm again. Certainly doesn't make sense to me right now...

After a recent disk failure, I left myself a note to add the DNS/DHCP info to my backup. I have a small, over-engineered for my education, network of 10 computers in my house. I run BIND with dynamic zones on my FreeBSD server, I also use the DNS service on my Win2k-AD server. They both are designated as slaves for each other. What do I need to backup? Are just the configuration files from /var/namedb/etc/namedb enough to recreate everything if my FBSD server dies? Or are there some database files I should be keeping also?

I have 5.3-RELEASE with a GENERIC kernel running on a new (old) Mach Speed V600DAP motherboard which uses the VIA KT600 Northbridge and VIA VT8237 Southbridge chipsets. It has an onboard NIC which is detected as vr0. It appears to ifconfig to be working, but doesn't seem to pass any data. No DHCP, ping, nslookup etc. I haven't been able to find anything like this on google or searching past postings. I'm beginning to wonder if it's just not supposed to work.

My machine has Windows XP, Fedora Core 3, and FreeBSD-5.3, and while I know I can use GRUB to boot FreeBSD, I want to try booting it using NTLDR. Just for kicks -- its something I haven't tried so far. :)) My ad0 disk has WinXP (and NTLDR), while ad1 has FreeBSD. I tried the usual suggestions of extracting the first 512 bytes of /dev/ad1 (using dd) into a file and telling NTLDR to use that file for booting. But it doesn't work. Then I tried extracting 512 bytes from other locations like /dev/ad1s1 and /dev/ad1s1a and /dev/ad1s1c, but to no avail. Finally I even tried copying over copying /boot/boot1 (and even /boot/boot2 and /boot/loader coz I was at my wits end) to a file, and telling NTLDR to use that file for booting -- but again nada! Most of the times I'd get a Boot Error message, while at other times nothing happens. Searching around on Google, I found a post to freebsd-stable that asks the same question (http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-stable@freebsd.org/msg64950.html). The reply given there was to use this program called BOOTPART (can be run from Windows, it extracts the bootsector of any partition you specify, which can then be used to boot into that partition using NTLDR). Using that program does allow me extract the bootsectors of the FreeBSD partition, and use that from NTLDR to boot into it -- but I am still stumped -- how does this program manage to extract the bootsectors, while dd is not? I've used the dd method to successfully boot into Fedora Core 3 using NTLDR, so I know it generally does the job. Any suggestions folks? Is there some incompatibility thing with NTLDR, or am I going wrong somewhere? Thanks, Rakhesh I'm doing it with Win2k, I haven't tried it yet with XP though. And I'll preface this, with I'm doing this from memory because I can't find the web page they originally came from. I had Win2k set up already with an empty partition for FBSD. A fresh backup of the windows part, and the magic recovery disk may ease concerns of trashing what you have, but I like to live dangerously so I didn't have them. Boot the FBSD install CD and install, when you're setting up the partition I've tried to get the installer to leave the boot loader alone, but NTLDR gets clobbered every time. When you've got FBSD running, save a copy of /boot/boot0 somewhere you will be able to get to it from Windows. Now you've bot FBSD but not windows, now go back to your Win2k install CD and repair your current installation, all you should have do do is the 'inspect boot files part. Once windows restarts, as administrator you need to edit boot.ini to add an entry for FBSD. Mine looks like (the last line wrapped, but should be a single line): [EMAIL PROTECTED] mnt]# cat boot.ini [boot loader] timeout=10 default=C:\freebsd.boot [operating systems] C:\freebsd.boot=FreeBSD multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT=Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional /fastdetect Then copy the boot0 file to C: drive (I called it freebsd.boot). Restart the computer and you should have two choices in the list and you can choose to boot windows or FBSD.

I have a 5.3-STABLE machine with ipfilter built into the kernel. When running ipmon logging to syslog, the information is being dumped to the security.* service instead of the local0.* service like the handbook says it should. I've taken a quick look at the code and it appears it should be going to local0.* like expected and like it did for me on 4.10, but it's not. I see the following in UPDATE: 20041003: The pfil API has gained an additional argument to pass an inpcb. You should rebuild all pfil consuming modules: ipfw, ipfilter and pf. but I don't think that should affect me since I installed 5.3-RELEASE and have rebuilt to the current (two weeks ago) 5.3-STABLE.

My KVM is marked PS-104 on the front, but I can't see any visible brand names its buried so I can't dig it out. It supports hotkeys, and works fine with PS2 keyboards/mice. It fails if you attach a USB mouse with a USB/PS2 converter, or if you use a PS2/USB converter to attach it to a USB port on the PC.

Building KSambaPlugin Port question pt2

Subject: KSambaPlugin question
I've been looking at the KSambaPlugin and am interested in it. I noticed
there used to be a port for this KControl plugin, but it appears to not
have been updated and was removed. I figured it's as good of a place as
any to start digging into FreeBSD, but I've run into a problem with it.
I've made the changes to the port files and it configures and
builds fine,
but it won't run. I'm new with programming on FreeBSD, so forgive me if
this is an easy problem to solve...
I'm using KDE 3.2, Samba 3.0.1, FreeBSD 5.2, and ksambaplugin 0.5.
kde-3.2.0 The meta-port for KDE
kdebase-3.2.0_1 Basic applications for the KDE system
kdelibs-3.2.0 Base set of libraries needed by KDE programs
samba-3.0.1_2,1 A free SMB and CIFS client and server for UNIX
samba-libsmbclient-3.0.1 The shared lib from the samba packages
The compile is relatively clean, only a few messages about
unused variables
and arguments and a couple about using some print headers which are
supposed to be for internal KDE use. No errors though.
What is happening is that the plugin is freezing when it's called. I've
tracked it down to the external process call (testParam.start),
which never
returns. Here's the relevant code parts:
--- start code ---
KProcess testParam;
testParam testparm;
testParam -V;
_parmOutput = QString();
_sambaVersion = 2;
connect( testParam, SIGNAL(receivedStdout(KProcess*,char*,int)),
this, SLOT(testParmStdOutReceived(KProcess*,char*,int)));
=if (testParam.start(KProcess::Block,KProcess::Stdout)) {
if (_parmOutput.find(3) -1)
_sambaVersion = 3;
}
--- end code ---
--- more code ---
void SambaFile::testParmStdOutReceived(KProcess *, char *buffer, int
buflen)
{
_parmOutput+=QString::fromLatin1(buffer,buflen);
}
--- end more code ---
I can run the 'testparm -V' from a shell to get the samba
version, but the
response seems to get lost here. Is there anything that should be
different in this snippet of code? It appears the plugin has only been
tested in Linux; so, is there a common problem I'm running into here.
Pointers to any additional documentation I should read would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe.
