You could try downloading and extracting the src distribution: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/9.2-RELEASE/src.txz Before I saw this I built from the src obtained via svn. The system now boots. I still have no idea what was preventing it from booting. It was something between displaying the Beastie menu and waiting for user input. There had to be at least 2 issues as the messages changed after the first attempt to rebuild the system. I tried to chase down the boot code for the first error message and it appears to be generated when there is a problem with a directory. I couldn't find any further diagnostic info to identify the directory. I have not yet tried to chase down the second set of messages in the source. The system now says its 9.2. UPDATING still looks the same. Interestingly enough, on another system that I updated earlier to 9.2 via freebsd-update, UPDATING there is identical to the one on this system. There is no 9.2 entry. Also of note is that most of the ports/packages are still present. However SASL2 vanished without a trace. Its easily replaced, but why is certainly interesting. I have no ideas at this point. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Was this world, or just the custom kernel?? Step 3: make delete-old Step 4: mergemaster Step 5: reboot oops, something went wrong.. If my suspicions are correct, the source was still 9.1 patch 7, but the system was running 9.2 from the binary update. This may have caused the make delete-old to delete things it shouldn't have The very first thing I would do is bring the disk up in another system and make a backup copy of the data. I have never tried this process, I am basically just taking the steps I use for updating a zfs system using boot environments, and applying them in order to build a new kernel and world to an alternate directory, as a method of recovering the system. The next step I would take is to then mount the file systems in an alternate location, /mnt for example make MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX /mnt/usr/obj make DESTDIR /mnt cd /mnt/usr/src rm -r * .svn rm -r /usr/obj/* svn co https://svn0.us-west.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.2 make buildwolrd make buildkernel make installkernel make installworld make -DBATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES delete-old make -DBATCH_DELETE_OLD_FILES delete-old-libs mergemaster -Ui /mnt/usr/src -D /mnt With some luck the file system will now contain a boot-able FreeBSD install, that will still have all the settings in place, except it will be the generic kernel. You should then just be able to build and install the custom kernel, from the booted system as you normally would.

Running Cyrus here for ages, it might be a bit of pain to set up, but it's been a really bulletproof and zero maintenance solution. The problems cannot be replicated on any other client, only Squirrel has those problems with mail not showing up. -Reko We run postfix/cyrus mail servers. My experience with messages not showing up happens with Outlook (versions 2003, 2007, and 2013), squirrelmail, and mac mail. In all cases reported, the user can find messages either by sorting by date or by searching on some matching criteria. We put this in our FAQ.

Perhaps the defaults have changed between the versions that you're running (if you're running the base versions on 7.2 and 9.1) or your recursive server isn't allowing it on 9.2? Fwiw, in unbound, allow allows recursive lookups, allow_snoop allows both recursive and non-recursive lookups. After a bunch of testing, I have determined that the problem is the routers.

freebsd-update question
I had an 8.2 system that I wanted to take to 8.4. First I tried upgrade to 8.4, getting (in essence) can't do that. So I upgraded 8.2 which worked giving the end-of-life warning. But seemed work. I then did an upgrade to 8.3 with: freebsd-update -r 8.3-RELEASE upgrade The first part, downloading the diffs and inspecting the system seemed ok. The install seemed ok up to the point it wanted to edit files. It wanted to edit freebsd.submit.cf and sendmail.cf neither of which had local changes and then it started wanting to delete all the files in /etc. I aborted the process when it got to rc.conf. The message was something like, deleting file hosts.allow no longer in 8.3. Happily aborting the process left the system unchanged. Aside from, what could I have done wrong?

Re: gpart

I used the bsdinstall and Manual`` option when setting up the disk geometry using GPT - graphical setup. The idea will be to eventually dump the 4 file systems, (/, /usr /var and /home) and restore them on other servers when the time comes. I am reading everything there is about GPT at this point as I have never used it before. It seems gpart is the tool to use. I have done several test runs setting the drive geometry using this as a guide: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html Which worked well. But as yet I do not have dumps to test with. I was wondering in anyone sees any issues creating the drive geometry using this method, with the intent of restoring dumped filesystems to to, including the root filesystem. I am yet to use 9.1 to do so, so any tips would be appreciated. I just finished doing exactly that. Worked fine. I installed 9.1 on a drive and it had boot problems. Apparently the drive was previously a part of a raid and graid would get involved during boot and wait and wait and wait. To get rid of that, I formatted another drive using gpart and then used dump-restore to move the data from the first drive to the second. The new drive is now the master drive for the system. The original drive has been returned to a spare drive pool. The new drive boots fine and just works. I did a complete zero of the drive before starting the partitioning though as I have no way of knowing if that drive was previously in a raid array. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You actually have to remove the certificate from the keychain to disable it. Not a great approach for shared computers. Most users will not know how to remove it properly. I don't know about PCs yet though. In addition there are possible issues with mail clients. I have not tried them yet. It all depends if they can handle p12 format certificates.

The key shouldn't have to be removed, but it should only work with a password (which again is kept individual to each user). The process has to be made more uncomfortable to be secure, i. e., the password should _not_ be stored, instead it _has_ to be entered every time the secure connection is to be used. If a different user gets his hands on a running session (in terms of user-separation or profiles on a particular machine), he won't be able to do anything with mail as he does not know the password, and the password will not be automatically provided for the sake of being less complicated. I don't know your particular end user machine settings, so this is just a broad suggestion. Many things in this idea depend on what software the client systems use, and how this software actually deals with security-related settings and procedures. The p12 format certificate includes the key and both are encrypted. This seems like the best distribution format. From what I have read most browsers can handle this distribution format since it is used in smart cards. However, on Safari, at least, when you import the certificate you have to enter the encryption key for the certificate and key. Then those are stored in the keychain (without any additional reference to that encryption key). They than can be used by anyone on that machine. It kind of defeats all the effort for security up to that point. DoD addresses this issue by somehow making the certificate not be imported into the keychain, but retained on the smart card only. Pulling the card from the reader eliminates any future use of it.

Client Authentication
I am not sure this is the best place to ask this, but I didn't see any other maillists that seemed more appropriate. Basically, my outgoing mail server is being systematically attacked to try passwords looking for one that works. When they do find one, we get inundated by spam sent through that account throughout the world. The situation is such that most of our users are older and their computer is a hand-me-down so they can talk to their grandchildren. Passwords are a great inconvenience for them and create numerous problems with remembering them even when they are simple. Unfortunately, most of them are quite easy to guess. Telling users to use more appropriate passwords is a complete waste of my time. Its never going to make any changes as they probably would not remember any other password (or where they wrote down the password). This situation requires a technical solution. I have been investigating the use of client authentication through SSL. DoD uses this approach by having the certificates on an ID card and a card reader on each computer. We don't have the money to use that approach no could we every get our users to spring for that. I was hoping to figure out a way to put the certificate on a flash drive or CD that the user would carry. The approach we use has to also work for iPads, smart phones etc that do not have an interface for a card reader. At this time, I have successfully configured a test for openssl client authentication using a client certificate. There are a few issues remaining. DoD uses a p12 format for their certificates. Many browsers support that format. It encrypts the certificate and private key so they are not easily obtained from the smart card. Openssl's s_client uses pem certificates and the key has to be included in the certificate file. While that is easily transported on CD or flash drive, the private key is in the clear on the device. Thats not really viable. S_client works properly without a certificate when the certificate check in the server is set to not fail if a certificate is not provided. This is needed because we will never get all our users to use this approach at home. They will still want to use passwords. Since the certificate request is made before the connection information is available, there is no easy way to request it only when needed. I have only been able to test with the Safari browser and it does not handle the no certificate case properly. I believe it is dropping the connection when the user does not select a certificate. I still have to test the other browsers. There is an interesting aspect of openssl that the certificate it uses for normal SSL authentication is not used for client authentication. There are another completely different set of calls that have to be made to set the certificate/key for use in validating the client certificates. Much of this is only documented in existing code. With Safari you have to import the client's certificate into the keychain. Then it works fine. Unfortunately, it doesn't go away when you are done with it. Unlike the smart card which, when removed, removes the certificate, the Safari certificate can continue to be used by anyone afterwards. Hence, its not all that useful for authentication. One approach I have heard about, but not investigated yet is to place the keychain on the removable device. That would make it go away. However, that approach would not work with any other browser or mail program. Any ideas/suggestions on this will be appreciated.

You don't boot from an individual disk you boot from a zpool - all disks are linked together making one zpool disk. Something has to pick a physical device from which to boot, does it not?. All the HP Smart Array 6i controller knows is I have 6 RAID 0 disks to present to the OS. I meant to add if the bootcode is installed on each disk then pointing the bios to any individual disk as the primary boot device will lead to the boot process loading the zpool. Installing it on each disk gives the redundancy to match the raid in the zpool. If you only have one disk with bootcode and it is the one that needs replacing then you can't boot. Then having 100 disks in a pool with bootcode would be overkill, but the consistency may be easier to maintain. So in my case, the HP SmartArray doesn't allow me to choose an individual boot disk. So it's up to the controller to keep trying to boot from the next configured disk. I believe I'm going to craft a test to prove this out. I've had issues with this RAID controller in the past where it won't present the new disk to the OS. I've had to reboot, go into the RAID config and tell it it's a single RAID 0 device (stupid, I know). When you think about it, as a raid controller it shouldn't make assumptions as to how to use the new disk, should it add it to an existing raid set, replace a missing drive or show it as a new single drive? Being able to specify per socket as permanently jbod could be useful feature though. One would think. I've been testing this on a similarly configured machine and the controller eventually presents a new drive to the OS. It takes a couple of minutes, but appears to work on this test box. The roll of /boot/zfs/zpool.cache is a mystery to me. I belive it somehow tells ZFS what devices are in use. What if a disk goes offline or is removed? As I understand it the zpool.cache contains the zpools mounted by the system. After reboot it then re-imports each zpool in the cache. I believe a recent commit enabled the vfs.root.mountfrom zpool to be imported even if there was no cache available. From what I have heard and seen the data about the zpool it belongs to and the role the disk plays in the zpool is stored on each disk and duplicated at the beginning and end of the disk. In my early experiments after starting clean even after gparting and zeroing out the start of the disks, zpool still says it belongs to a pool. If that's the case, I wonder about the wisdom of re-using a drive from my test configuration? My plan has been to prove this out on test and use the same disk from test and insert it into production. One would think ZFS is smart enough to recognize a different drive has been inserted, even if it has the same gpart structure and came from a pool with the same name.

Note: I've dealt with a comparable problem some months ago when a Windows PC has repaired a FAT file system on a USB stick, with the excellent result of all data being gone. I could restore everything except the original file names (which I wrote a script to conclude them from file metadata and content). So it should be possible. I see this issue way too often. The above information should be put in the Handbook. It would be nice to have it fleshed out more, but if nothing else, the above would be helpful to others who run into similar issues. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

On Thu, 21 Feb 2013, Shane Ambler wrote: It's been a while since I experimented with jails but I'm pretty sure it is the reason I changed my sshd_config When you start sshd on the base system by default it binds against 0.0.0.0 and :: which is every ip4 and ip6 address configured on the base system, which includes the aliased ip's for your jails. This is represented by the *:22 from sockstat. When you start the jail it can't start sshd because the base already has that address/port in use. In /etc/ssh/sshd_config comment out the ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 and ListenAddress :: then add ListenAddress 10.0.0.3 service sshd restart start your jail and try again The jail config is fine as the jail only sees the one ip address assigned to it. This is what fixed the problem. From the jail man page, ... The following frequently deployed services must have their individual configuration files modified to limit the application to listening to a specific IP address It then specifically mentions ssh and send mail.

However it is early days yet, and the problem you're seeing has nothing to do with that process. pkgng won't become the default in 9.x until the next release: until then the status quo ante persists. This path does not exist on ftp.freebsd.org. Quite so. It's because of this: http://www.freebsd.org/news/2012-compromise.html As a consequence, large parts of the package building infrastructure are quarantined, pending reinstallation. Also there is a lot of work going into revising the software used to build the packages with security enhancements in mind. So there simply aren't packages available yet to go with 9.1-RELEASE. Ah yes, thank you Matthew. I had forgotten about that. I guess the 9.1RC3 packages were removed for the same reason. _ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com d...@safeport.com Voice: 301-217-9220 Fax: 301-217-9277 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

The files in that directory are owned by root:wheel (not root:root - I got my *nixes confused), but they definitely have 600 perms. On Machine A, user 'myid' is IN the wheel group but I still don't see how he's getting permission to rename the file.\ Renaming a file does not change the file itself. It updates the directory. Any user in group wheel has the authority to write to the directory (e.g., change a file's name). The directory permissions are rwx for group wheel. You can either try a user on machine B who is not in group wheel or change the directory permissions to 755 on /usr/foo/bar. Then it would work as you expect. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

This is not a high arrival rate environment but it does need to be rock solid (which FBSD 4-8 have been). why would you like to break a running system? That's exactly what I don't want to do. I am contemplating moving to the FBSD 9 family. Is this branch ready I would stay with 8.x until the end of its support and move only then to a new branch. It could be then 9.x or 10.y. I would then - but only then - prefer the 10.y branch. I retired my 7.4 only because of lightning strike this spring. Robustness is my main goal here. Any change which brings only the risk is avoided. I used to take this approach. However, I discovered the pain of fixing a configuration that jumped several major releases was way higher than tracking them each as they became stable. I did the 9.1-PRE upgrade today and - once the new system was compiled and ready to be installed - had only very minor conversion issues. In my case, the most painful part of conversion is the mail infrastructure. The server in question is the domain's mail server and it has a LOT of moving parts with custom configurations: sendmail, greylisting, mailscanner, spam assassin, mailman, SASL ... That is pretty much always what breaks. Doing smaller leaps tends to make this more tractable to control. I am in a similar situation. Reliability is more important than anything else. I run similar mail configurations on one server, although I use different machines for incoming and outgoing mail. Jumps across versions have been more difficult. I have kept records of the steps I used for each upgrade and theose help me prepare for the next one. I am in the middle of jumping from 7.2 to 9.1. One machine is completely converted and working just fine. I had reliability problems with 9.0. It kept rebooting or crashing every few days. I am on 9.1-RC2 at the moment and its been up and working for 34 days now. I will upgrade it to 9.1 when its released. This one had to be upgraded early because it was new hardware. The old machine completely died. I have another server also running 9.1-RC2 but it is not moved into production yet. It is primarily a news server and has a large news cache that has to be moved. I am waiting for 9.1 for that. On some of my test machines I have found that 9.1 is the first release to support the built-in wireless NICs. The service command is really helpful. I frequently can't remember which service is in etc and which in /usr/local/etc. The largest problem I encountered in the upgrade was the disk structure. My disks were setup when using FreeBSD 3.5/3.7. As a result, the root partition is way too small today. I was able to shoe horn 7.2 in by deleting the kernel symbol files while they were being installed. 9.0/9.1 just didn't fit at all. Restructuring the disks is a time consuming job and fairly error prone in getting everything back that is needed to run production. There is also the issue that the default formatting uses SU+J which is not compatible with dump live filesystems. Now I am going to have to find the time to bring the systems down to remove journaling with no one on-site who has a clue what they are doing. I currently have 9.1-RCx running on 5 systems and have not had any stability issues with it. One system is in production but the others are lightly used. One of them is a 200 MHz machine with either 32 Meg or 64 Meg memory. It seems to be faster then when it ran 8.2 but I haven't actually done any measurements. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

It's simply a matter of replacing '-m' with '-a0'. I did not realize that one could add a numeral to the -a parameter to indicate the desired order. I just did a 'man setfacl' and indeed it is described as such. Good to know! Is there a preferred way of ordering? I.e. owner@ at line 0 followed by group@ at line 1 followed by everyone@ at line 2 then followed by the two groups described in my original mail (e.g. dsp-production dsp-marketing)? Or is that totally dependent on how I want to structure the permissions so that the desired effect is achieved? For example like this: dougs@dorado:/data# getfacl ADS-New/ # file: ADS-New/ # owner: root # group: DSP-production group:DSP-production:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group:DSP-marketing:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow owner@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow everyone@:--a-R-c--s:--:allow dougs@dorado:/data# where anyone who is a member of the dsp-production group will ALWAYS have full_set permissions simply because that is indicated at line 0 and thus meets the test of line 0? Processing stops at line 0 as long as the user is a member of that group, right? Does a user who does not belong to any of the groups indicated above and isn't an owner have the ability to modify the directory? I assume that would be the everyone@ group... Btw, the bug in setfacl(1) command has been fixed in HEAD and will be merged into STABLE in a month from now. What exactly was the bug? Did I uncover it inadvertently? What would you use in place of the asterisk when you want to apply the setfacl -b command to either all files or all directories? The period? Directories: find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 setfacl -b Files: find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 setfacl -b The whole point of xargs here is to take the list of files it gets from find and turn it into a series of arguments for setfacl. So, in the example above, the actual invocation of setfacl would read setfacl -b first-file second- file etc. With the asterisk, it would be setfacl -b * first-file second- file; this means setfacl would modify not only the files passed by find, but also all the files in the current directory. Ah, interesting. I'm going to test the changes to the scripts.

NFSv4 ACL permissions setting
Hello all- I've set up ZFS on a FreeBSD 9.0 64-bit server recently. One of the things I've had to learn relates to NFSv4 ACLs. I've developed two scripts to reset permissions- one for files and the other for folders. I've run into an issue with executing a script to set permissions on a bunch of folders. The root filesystem is /data. There are a bunch of subfolders followed by more subfolders. Allow me to demonstrate as follows: dougs@dorado:/# getfacl ./data # file: ./data # owner: root # group: DSP-production group:DSP-production:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group:DSP-marketing:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow owner@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow everyone@:r-x---a-R-c--s:--:allow dougs@dorado:/# cd data dougs@dorado:/data# ll total 45 drwxrwx---+ 5 root DSP-production 5 Aug 28 10:27 ADS-New drwxrwx---+ 60 root DSP-production 118 Aug 27 14:17 ADS-OLD [ .. snip .. ] drwxrwx---+ 12 root DSP-production12 Aug 27 14:16 WorkinProgress dougs@dorado:/data# getfacl ./ADS-New/ # file: ./ADS-New/ # owner: root # group: DSP-production group:DSP-production:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group:DSP-marketing:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow owner@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow everyone@:--a-R-c--s:--:allow dougs@dorado:/data# cd ./ADS-New/ dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New# ll total 9 drwxrwx---+ 5 root nobody 7 Aug 27 14:20 Artworks drwxrwx---+ 4 root nobody 4 Jul 17 12:12 ForDSP drwxrwx---+ 78 root nobody 78 Jul 23 13:17 ForMarketing dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New# /root/bin/reset-perms-prod-mkt-dirs.sh dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New# getfacl ./Artworks/ # file: ./Artworks/ # owner: root # group: nobody group:DSP-production:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow - group:DSP-production:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow - group:DSP-marketing:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow owner@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow everyone@:--a-R-c--s:--:allow dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New# cd Artworks/ dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New/Artworks# ll total 4234 drwxrwx---+ 2 root nobody2 Jul 17 12:08 Ask JoeS drwxrwx---+ 2 root nobody 10 Jul 17 12:12 Cool - AD d-w-rwx---+ 2 DSP-alfredo nobody2 Aug 27 14:20 Jaye Additional Art -rwxrwx---+ 1 root DSP-production 3770445 Mar 11 2010 comingsoonIntNepal.pdf -rwxrwx---+ 1 root DSP-production 415338 Mar 11 2010 previewcopy.pdf dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New/Artworks# cd Ask\ JoeS/ dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New/Artworks/Ask JoeS# cd .. dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New/Artworks# getfacl Ask\ JoeS/ # file: Ask JoeS/ # owner: root # group: nobody group:DSP-production:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow - group:DSP-marketing:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow owner@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow everyone@:--a-R-c--s:--:allow dougs@dorado:/data/ADS-New/Artworks# As you can see, the ADS-New folder where I executed the script shows duplicate entries of the DSP-production group whereas the Ask Joe subfolder underneath the ADS-New folder shows only one DSP-production group.

Building from source is out of the question for this system. After a major version update (8.x - 9.x) you should reinstall _all_ ports. See man portmaster (EXAMPLES section) for suggestions on how to do this. If you want to avoid it. you can install the compat8x port on your system. Unaltered (!) installs from 8.x should continue running. But as soon as you're introducing new software, trouble may occur. In that case, a clean install of your applications should be the better way. (Note that you can do this either by source or by packages, just as you prefer.) The described problem with libutil can be avoided when working with the compat8x port. There are more such ports for older versions that allow running binaries compiled for those OS versions (API/ABI remapping). After seeing if xorg and twm would just work, I did remove all packages with pkg_delete. That did not clear out all of /usr/local. When pkg_add of perl failed, I just built that. pkg_add of xorg worked. pkg_add of xdm got an error something along the line of unliking lib/X11/auth... so I deleted that dir and did pkg_add again. This installed but xdm fails on execution with libutil.so.9 missing. monhegan:~ uname -a FreeBSD monhegan.boltsys.com 9.0-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue Jun 12 01:47:53 UTC 2012 r...@i386-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 But make index thinks (I think) this is an 8.x system. pkg_add did add from ...lastest..9.0 for xorg and xdm.

Back then (1998 or so) I did not have access to broadband, so I did not even update the sources back then, but I knew that it was a good idea to remove devices from the GENERIC kernel that I did not have--thanks to the book by Greg Lehey. (Even though the version of The Complete FreeBSD I bought is so out of date I cannot bring myself to throw it away--it was my guide back in those days.) Does anyone else remember The Complete FreeBSD? Its sitting in my bookshelf. Its pretty worn out though. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hello,
I'm playing around with IPv6 code on a FreeBSD 9 system and can't get
getaddrinfo(3C) to do what it should do as stated in its man page:
accept an IPv6 and IPv4 IP addr, it only works with the IPv6 form:
$ ./a.out ::1
host: ::1

I won't claim to be an expert on this, but I have used getaddrinfo successfully
in servers. The only thing I see that might be an issue is the use of zero for
ai_protocol. The comment in the man page implies that value is for servers and
not clients. I suspect you have to set the specific protocol you want. You
haven't included AI_PASSIVE so I suspect its expecting you to use the address
to contact a server.

FreeBSD is not random place like windows, everything must have a reason. True it must, but I have no idea why if_en would try to be loaded or even how to figure that out. There is nothing in the logs. My understanding is that you would have to have an interface that requires the en driver. pciconf doesn't show any. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

FreeBSD 9.0 hang
I have a 9.0 p3 system that is in production for about a week and it just plain hung this morning.

Problem with freebsd-update
I tried to update an amd64 FreeBSD 9.0 p0 system via freebsd-update tonight. It fetched everything fine. However, the install just hung after about 10 minutes. The 2 sh processes are basically doing nothing. Not consuming any processor time and not doing any I/O. I killed it and tried another install. Same thing. Tried a rollback. Same thing. The system still runs mostly. Top takes about 5 minutes before it produces any output. It shows basically nothing running. I really don't want to reinstall again as the system has a lot of files customized including many ports. Is there any way to recover this? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Problem with spamlogd
I am using spamd on several systems and started encountering a problem awhile
ago with FreeBSD 7.2 servers, but let it go since I am in the process of
upgrading the servers. However, I now am encountering the same issue on
FreeBSD 9.0 with spamlogd. It never reads pflog0. pflogd reads the entries
just fine. I set up syslog to log all the spamlogd messages and when spamlogd
is started it gives:
spamlogd: Listening on pflog0 for all interfaces.
lsof shows that it is connected to bpf0 as is pflogd. However, pflogd shows an
offset into the file that appears to be the end of the file. spamlogd shows an
offset of 0. It is periodically reading the file as shown by ktrace but always
getting back a 0 size return. spamd itself is working just fine. However, the
expiration times are not being updated so white entries are timed out way too
often. spamlogd used to update them. The rc.conf entries are:
obspamd_enable=YES
obspamd_flags=-G 2:1:1728
obspamd_setup_flags=
obspamd_grey=YES
obspamlogd_enable=YES
obspamlogd_flags=-W 1728
These were established a few years ago and worked up till short while ago. I
don't recall any changes I made to anything, but…
Looking through the spamlogd source it appears to be building a filter for the
pcap routines with:
ip and port 25 and action pass and tcp[13]0x12=0x2
Using that filter on pflog yields no output. I believe the pass item requires
there to be some logging of the pass actions and those are not appearing in the
pflog or in the pfctl counts for those rules. I suspect that is the problem.
The pf.conf is: (mail server is on this machine)
ext_if=em0
table blackhole persist file /etc/blackhole
table spamd persist
table spamd-white persist
table spamd-white-local persist file /etc/mail/whitelist
no rdr on { lo0, lo1 } from any to any
