Quick, simple backup solution
I am looking for a quick backup solution for my freebsd machine. Currently I backup to a DDS-4 DAT drive using the following while in /: tar -zpcvf /dev/sa0 . I am aware of bacula, Amanda, cpio, and dump but to me tar is the ideal method so if anyone had a simple script to automate this process I would greatly appreciate some help in making my own.

mail not being delivered
I am running fbsd 5.4, this server has been up for about 70 days and just recently (maybe within the last 4 days) I have not been receiving the usual security and daily summery reports, but every 2 or 3 days I will get the message undeliverable email. Is there any reason why I would not be able to get these anymore?

RE: mail not being delivered
The message has since been deleted and I cannot give an exact message, but it says the message has been queued for X days and will be deleted. The messages then goes on to show the email that was waiting to be delivered and it is what appears to be the security logs, and among the others are various cron jobs that failed delivery as well. I am not sure if this would affect it but about a week ago (the same time this started) we were doing some reconfigurations on the network and the 3600 series router this machine was on. There was about 2 hours of down time and my mailbox was flooded with cron jobs not working (which I expected since they are internet related jobs) after that all email just stopped.

Suspicious activity to look for...
I have a FreeBSD 5.4 system setup, and I have read numerous articles on securing it. For the first few months prior to setting up this system I read a lot about the little tweaks using sysctl and the like. Now everything is running good, but I want to know what to look for incase I am missing something. I, very meticulously, read all the system logs that get emailed to root and I read all the auth, console logs etc. Except for the occasional attempt to gain access with random usernames, there is nothing I see to be worried about. This system is in a very secure DMZ, so even if it was compromised there is no way it could leak over to the local network. Here are some of the variables in sysctl.conf: kern.ipc.somaxconn=8192 security.bsd.see_other_uids=0 net.inet.tcp.sendspace=32768 net.inet.tcp.recvspace=32768 net.inet.tcp.blackhole=2 net.inet.udp.blackhole=1 net.inet.ip.random_id=1 net.inet.icmp.icmplim=50 net.inet.icmp.drop_redirect=1 auth.conf and login.conf use blf as the crypt instead of md5 This system is used for public use, mainly shell accounts and ftp space to people I know. I know the risk is greater when I introduce public users into the mix.is there anything I can look for or something I have overlooked as far as checking for suspicious activity? Thanks for the help! p.s.

RE: apache-ssl and mod_mysql mod_php4
Yes, it works fine; I installed apache mod_ssl (1.3.33) and installed both mysql4 and php4 from ports without a single issue. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Graham North Sent: Saturday, July 09, 2005 7:31 PM To: questions freebsd Subject: apache-ssl and mod_mysql mod_php4 Do the mysql and php4 modules integrate with apache-ssl. as with regular apache_1.3.33 ?? I installed apache-ssl instead of apache on a whim - SSL works and I can use the server for secure or regular port 80 http, however nowhere can I find info that explicitly indicates the compatability of mysql and php4 for this Apache variant. Can someone give me some assurance before I install the ports. Thanks, Graham/ -- Kindness can be infectious - try it.

RE: Mysql vs /var partition...
I'm not entirely sure if this was mentioned already but it's worth a look. Usually as a rule of thumb, as soon as I complete an installation of mysql I do the following...note that mysql is indeed running during this procedure: cd /var/db mv mysql /usr/local/ ln -s /usr/local/mysql mysql Then I changed the permissions. cd /usr/local chown -R mysql mysql And then restarted mysqld. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql.sh restart Hope this helps Joe -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Virus Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 1:19 PM To: freebsd Subject: Mysql vs /var partition...

BIND and NAT
Hello all, I have a small question regarding a DNS issue I am having. I have a bsd box setup for a domain I am hosting..it has FBSD 5.3 and Bind 9.3. It sits behind a NAT device and is in a DMZ. The problem is when I setup the domain I told it to point to the public ip which is translated to the private IP on which DNS listens. Now when I try to go to the site it keeps trying to connect to the private IP the site is on instead of the correct public ip. Is this an issue with the DNS files being setup for the private network or should it matter?

I have a freebsd machine with 2 nics and one being used. The first has 2 ip addresses, one of them via alias. I have BIND listening x.x.x.19 and regular operations on x.x.x.18. My problem is that apache wants to listen on both IPs and I dont want someone being able to point their browser at the ns1.domain.com and see a web page, so how do i get apache to stop listening on this IP.
