Re: Changing default files locations / ports / mailgraph
Zbigniew Szalbot [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Hello all,
What do I need to avoid making the same mistake of having mailgraph
installing files at the wrong location in my system?
The default location in Makefile is this:
CGIDIR?=${PREFIX}/www/cgi-bin
DATADIR?= /var/db/mailgraph
WWWROOT?= ${PREFIX}/www/data
I'd like to keep it here:
CGIDIR?=${PREFIX}/www/apache22/cgi-bin
DATADIR?= /var/db/mailgraph
WWWROOT?= ${PREFIX}/www/apache22/data
Other than symlinking, can I specify this location in
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf (I generally use portupgrade to upgrade
software)? If so, how should I specify an entry for mailgraph?
I would symlink it, myself.
For portupgrade, I guess you could do a MAKE_ARGS entry something like
'mail/mailgraph' = 'CGIDIR=${PREFIX}/www/apache22/cgi-bin
DATADIR=/var/db/mailgraph WWWROOT=${PREFIX}/www/apache22/data'

Re: Unable to talk to tap(4)
Bob McConnell [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
From: Bob McConnell
From: Wojciech Puchar
The basic setup sequence is:
ifconfig tap0 create
ifconfig tap0 inet 10.3.4.254/24
route -v add 10.3.4.0/24 10.3.4.254
ifconfig tap0 up
?
'ifconfig' already showed the interface flag UP. Adding this command
to the sequence has no effect on it. I also tried 'ifconfig tap0
promisc'.
Is EFAULT really a memory access exception?
At this point, I can ping that address and my application can open
either /dev/net/tap0 or /dev/tap0. But when I try to read() from
those
devices, I have problems.
/dev/net/tap0 always returns with errno = 19 (ENODEV - Operation not
supported?).
/dev/tap0 returns errno = 14 (EFAULT - bad address). At this point,
'ifconfig' shows that the inet address is no longer attached and
'netstat -rn' shows the route I added above has been dropped.
I have been searching for several days to find more information
about
this device, but have not found anything specific to FreeBSD. All of
the
examples and instructions are for Linux or tun(4), both of which are
significantly different devices.
My code so far:
- tear along dotted line -
tapFD = open (/dev/tap0, O_RDWR);
if (tapFD 0) {
fprintf (stderr, Failed to open /dev/tap0: %d.\n, tapFD);
exit (2);
}
fprintf (stderr, Successfully opened /dev/tap0.\n);
unsigned char * buffer = (unsigned char*)malloc(1514);
if (buffer = NULL) {
fprintf (stderr, No memory available.\n);
close (tapFD);
exit(3);
}
When I replace the malloc with an automatic array, the
error goes away and I get the data I am looking for. i.e.:
unsigned char buffer[1514];
So why can't I use malloc to create that buffer?
Maybe you forgot to include stdlib.h? That could end up with the
compiler adjusting the parameters incorrectly.
Incidentally, this problem is why casting the return value of malloc
is discouraged; the compiler would warn about such a problem if the
(completely unnecessary) cast were not present.
int lenth = 0;
again:
lenth = read(tapFD, buffer, 1514);
if (lenth 0) {
int error = errno;
if (error == EINTR)
goto again;
fprintf (stderr, tap read error: %d\n, error);
}
else {
int index;
fprintf (stdout, %d bytes received.\n, lenth);
for (index = 0; index lenth; ++index) {
fprintf (stdout, %02x, buffer[index]);
if (index % 16 == 15)
fprintf (stdout, \n);
}
fprintf (stdout, \n);
}
close (tapFD);
- tear along dotted line -
Just in the interest of full disclosure, I am running a stock
installation of FreeBSD 7.0 in a VMWare 5.5.4 session on WinXP.
There
are also two virtual Ethernet cards, one connected to a host only
subnet, the other bridged onto a real Ethernet segment. I am using
IPFW
with DummyNet to inject some measure of reality into this system.
This is the beginnings of a test bench for several commercial
applications. My goal, once I get this device working, is to write
an
application for tap(4) that will emulate a few hundred embedded
devices,
each opening a socket directly to a server, which currently resides
in
another VM session on the host only network. This setup, coupled
with
real devices on the external network should give us a much more
realistic environment for stress testing our systems.

In interactive mode, you are in control of what gets restored, so stale files can definitely get left behind.

Re: Local package mirror
Subhro [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am trying to get a Network install working on my local network. I have been able to successfully create a NFS export of the installation disk and perform a install from there. The target machines boot over PXE and fetch stuff from the NFS. However I am unable to figure out how to get the packages working. I have a list of about 180 packages which needs to be installed. But I am unable to figure out how to go about it. I would like to use precompiled packages, but the CD do not contain the packages I am looking for. One of the option is to mirror the whole package directory from the freebsd mirrors, but that story involves a lot of data transfer and bandwidth. Is there something obvious I am missing? Any help would be highly appreciated. There are a number of ways to do this general sort of thing. For the base system approach, with pkg_add(1), setting PACKAGEROOT (or possibly PACKAGESITE depending on exactly how you configure the server for network fetch, or PKG_PATH if the clients have the NFS directory mounted) should be good enough. On the other hand, the way I do it is to have a master server, where I build everything (or fetch everything, if I don't want to build it myself). Then the other machines mount /usr/ports from the master server. I use portupgrade to do the installs from the clients, which knows how to use packages when available locally and only fetch them if they aren't.

Transscript: The freebsd manpages for 'clock_t times(struct tms *tp)' say the following: The times() function returns the value of time in CLK_TCK's of a second since 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds, January 1, 1970, Coordinated Universal Time. But after letting a sample C program print the returned value, it matches the system's uptime (in clock ticks). I would like to ask the bsd devs to clarify whether this is a documentation problem, or an implementation problem. According to /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/times.c (and my understanding of the way it uses clock_gettime()), it looks like the documentation matches what the code is intended to do. If there is a problem, it is probably in clock_gettime().

Re: Missing /dev/null after few min

Right now I recreate it with mknod /dev/null c 1 3 but that's not a real solution because it starts to disappear again after few minutes.

You could just install misc/compat5x, wait a bit and then do a portupgrade -f '2008-03-14' when most ports have been updated anyway. The problem with that advice is that it's extremely likely to result in some ports getting linked against some libraries from 5 and some from 6, which will probably result in them breaking.

You have to recompile all your installed ports as part of your upgrade to a new version of FreeBSD (e.g. 5.x - 6.x, 6.x - 7.x, etc). The only reason this is necessary is to prevent this kind of problem from creeping in as you incrementally rebuild your ports over time. Binaries linked to incompatible or inconsistent sets of libraries like two different versions of libc will behave unpredictably and may crash. No special care needs to be taken when recompiling, just make sure to recompile everything (portupgrade -fa or -faPP or similar).

YMMV, of course! I'm using spamhaus.org's blacklists for quite some time (many years) to block spam in postfix and they've been VERY trustworthy so far. But I can't say the same for the others, which seem occasionally a little bit too eager/aggressive and accumulate way too many false positives. The OP was using spamassassin, which can score a mail as more likely to be spam based on an RBL. This makes even an untrustworthy RBL useful while still protecting yourself against its mistakes. For example, I use spamhaus blacklists in postfix myself, but I let messages come in from SORBS-blacklisted sites. Then the messages will get a point or two (of 4 or 5 needed to be marked as spam) as a result of the SORBS blacklist. At least, I think I've got the list names correct; I haven't touched my configurations for either postfix or spamassassin in quite a while. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Boot Loader Broken?

I originally noticed something odd when I tried to shutdown from multiuser mode into single user mode. I ran shutdown now as root in multiuser. It said it was shutting down, etc. But then, it gave me the normal multiuser login prompt.

Re: mail from: field question
Jim Bow [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have a small shell script that does a backup to a usb drive and emails the results to a set of people. The script is triggered from devd (upon drive attachment) and runs as root. The problem is that the mail report is sent from an active system user and not user root. The user the mail is sent from is not referenced in the script. The mail line looks like this: cat $LOGFILE | mail -s backuptousb report [EMAIL PROTECTED] I find this rather confusing since I was expecting the email to be sent by the user running the script. How can this be? A little research told me that this may be because of something called envelope-from, but I found little explanation of what that actually means. Anyone have any suggestions? The answer will probably depend on the MTA you're using (which you didn't mention, so it's probably sendmail), but checking a couple of simple things first will help ensure you're at least on the right track. Run the script from the command line, and in particular just call mail the way the script does. Make sure the results are the same (if they're not, the MTA isn't the problem). Then, look in the mail logs to see what they tell you about the message. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Imap authentication
Chris Kottaridis [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have been using pop to download email messages. I'd like to switch to imap. My mail server is running FreeBSD 5.3 The imap executable is in /usr/local/libexec and inetd.conf is setup right. I can telnet to port 143 I am talking to the imapd daemon. However, I can't seem to get logged in. It seems to not like the username and password I provide. I am providing the username and password that will work to login interactively to the server. I assume there is a different authentication method besides the standard password file, but as yet I haven't been able to find what that might be. Clearly I am missing something here. Any pointers to how to set up imap accounts on the mail server would be appreciated. It depends on the particular IMAP server you are using. Most of them will (by default) authenticate against the system password file. The best hints are probably to be found in the log file, but you might need to configure the daemon for greater verbosity first. With dovecot, I used verbose_ssl = yes to do so. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Running dump(8) and restore(8) would allow you to back up and restore your system. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dump http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=restore This is typically used with tape, although you can dump to disk as well. If your data/system is critical, you ought to already have some backup strategy you could restore the system from to your new RAID. If not, you might put one in place (RAID != backups). Yes, of course, we have data backup and can restore after reinstalling everything, but I was looking for a complete system restore option. I'll look into these docs, thanks. There is no tape system, so I guess the only hope is if it can be dumped and restored from an NFS drive. From looking at the docs, it does appear this is possible, as long as the data in on a fs mounted by fstab? Another possibility is to dump to stdout, and pipe that over ssh. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The behavior with an asterisk instead of an X is pretty worrisome, however, and is not strictly Ubuntu's fault. Security of a server should not rely on the good will and competence of the client developers. I agree with the latter sentence, but not the former. When using NFS (without Kerberos), it is built into the protocol that the server trusts the client on the UID/GID. That is a good reason not to use NFS in an untrusted environment, but there really isn't anything FreeBSD can do about it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
