 Hello,


 I'm trying to set up pf on my soon-to-be new gateway (8.1-RELEASE amd64).
 I used the sample configuration file available on
 calomelhttps://calomel.org/pf_config.html
 After a few tests, it appears that the gate has fully access to the
 internet, but I can't open connections from clients to distant servers
 (web, ssh, ...).
 Checking pflog log file, I can't see anything about those timeouts, even
 if I added the log directive in every block/pass command.
 Everything else seems to work, I can talk with my DNS from the internet,
 ssh redirections to another pc also seems to works.
 I just can't access the Internet from a client of my network...

 For debugging, I commented out the options and the 'block all in/out'
 directives.

 Here's my config file http://pastebin.com/Nim2zBCx

 Is there someone understanding what I'm doing wrong?

 The firewall ruleset is a trifle overly complex for a quick glance; study
 and analysis would take some doing. However, if you can reach the internet
 from the firewall box and other client computers behind your NAT can't
 (which is what it sounds like you're describing) it may be just that you
 are
 missing gateway_enable=YES in your /etc/rc.conf.

 Turning this ON makes your firewall box into a router. The status of this
 can be checked with: sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding  - a 0 means no
 gateway
 and a 1 means gateway.

 the gateway is already enabled (and forwarding is correctly set)
 whatever, I had to do quick, I started again
 I think the missing thing on my old conf was the 'scrub' (at least)
 I made a more simple configuration, as following:
 
 ext_if=bge0
 int_if=bge1
 localnet = $int_if:network
 emma=10.242.42.200
 alpha=10.42.42.42
 delta=10.42.42.44
 set skip on lo0
 scrub in on $ext_if all fragment reassemble
 #INTERNETZ
 nat on $ext_if from $localnet to any - ($ext_if)
 #EMMA
 rdr on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to ($ext_if) port 1101 -

 pass in log on $int_if inet proto tcp from any to any
 pass in log on $int_if inet proto udp from any to any
 block in log on $ext_if inet proto icmp from any to $ext_if

Re: serious (for me) Xorg 7.5 mouse/kbd problem in 8.1-STABLE

2010-08-25 Thread jhell
On 08/25/2010 07:38, William Bulley wrote:
 For years I have run Open-Motif on FreeBSD without issue.
 
 I use a USB keyboard and a USB three button mouse attached to a Dell
 Optiplex 960.  This combination has worked fine for the past year.
 
 This week I upgraded from 8.0-STABLE circa January 2010 to 8.1-STABLE.
 I do this by doing a buildworld/installworld sequence after csup-ing
 stable-supfile and rebooting.  In this case I also pkg_deleted all of
 my ports and am rebuilding them from source.  Building Xorg is one of
 the very first ports I attempt since I prefer to work in xterms not
 virtual terminals.
 
 This upgrade moved me from Xorg 7.3 to Xorg 7.5, but Open-Motif stayed
 the same - open-motif-2.2.3_6 - it hasn't changed in years.
 
 After building Xorg, as root, I ran the Xorg -configure command to
 generate my xorg.conf.new file.  Since a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf
 file was still around after the upgrade from 8.0-STABLE/Xorg 7.3, I
 felt no need to change anything in that file (later file comparisons
 confirmed that nothing had changed).
 
 My only relevant additions to /etc/X11/xorg.conf are these:
 
Section ServerFlags
 Option  AutoAddDevices off
 Option  DontZap false
EndSection
 
 In my /etc/rc.conf file I have dbus and hald enabled, and that has
 not changed since the beginning of 2010 after the confusion abated.
 
 As a normal user, I start Xorg using /usr/local/bin/xinit as always.
 I have several xterms configured in my ~/.xinitrc file.  All those
 came up in the correct location and state.  I was able to open those
 that started in iconic mode.  In an open/raised xterm I could enter
 carriage returns and see my shell prompt move down the window.  But
 when I tried to close/minimize an open/raised xterm, things failed.
 
 I use the following keyboard/mouse combination (configured in my
 .mwmrc file) to close (minimize) an xterm (and other applications):
 
Shift   Btn3Click window  f.minimize
 
 This is also unchanged for some years.  This particular setting has
 no bearing on the problem I came across yesterday.  I merely state
 it for the record.  However, this configuration triggers the bug.
 
 The problem is as soon as I use that Shift/Btn3Click combination,
 my arrow cursor disappears, then I cannot move to or select other
 xterms - I am frozen, or locked, into the xterm I was trying to
 close/minimize.  All I can do at this point is to kill(1) the
 /usr/local/bin/xinit command to return to the virtual terminal
 where I launched my Xorg session.
 
 I am now reluctantly using the good old /usr/local/bin/twm which
 is always built when Xorg is built from source.  I am at a loss
 as to what to look for next.  I suspect Xorg, or the keyboard and
 mouse driver, not the video driver, that came with.  It might be
 a problem with hald(8), but again, I don't know how to debug this.
 
 Any help with this very odd bug would be greatly appreciated.
 
 Regards,

You could attempt some trickery with grub if you have the option of 
using it and if you are installing Win/7 to its own drive. Here is the 
specs.


Install FreeBSD on your first drive ;) the way it should be...

Install GRUB from ports or packages whatever you prefer.

Edit your menu.lst file to contain something like:
title  WINDO~7 ;)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
rootnoverify (hd1,0) (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Now reboot into your bios and turn off your FreeBSD drive and your 
secondary drive should remain and to Windows 7 as long as it is staying 
along the same lines as Windows XP will just accept your secondary as your 
primary drive C: and just install its MBR to that drive.


After your done reboot into your BIOS turn your FreeBSD drive back on.

Tada! you now have a bootable system where grub swaps your drives around 
for you and confuses Windows 7 into thinking its the primary C: drive and 
you can upgrade without touching the first disks MBR.


I have this setup running on the machine I am writing this email from and 
for fail-over sake if my FreeBSD disk takes a hike windows will pick right 
back up without even noticing the first disk being gone. I have also 
disabled my FreeBSD disk in windows devices just to be sure that nothing 
happens to it as a cause of windows.


Anyway... Hope this gives you just another option to consider.

Best of luck.

Hi,



i've added the following line to my /etc/hosts:

so what i want is for freebsd to never use http, but https for that
address.
unfortunately hosts doesn't seem to support this syntax.



De3finitely not. man hosts to see the syntax and meaning of the
/etc/hosts file.



any advice on how to do this?



I am not sure what you want to do. You want to install a web server
that only serves https? then you configure your web server to only
serve https, in Apache configuration you would only have a
VirtualHost: permail.uni-muenster.de:443
and none with port 80.



Best regards,



Olivier


sorry if i didn't specify my problem in detail.

i'm not using a webserver or anything. i'm just a regular user. the point is:
i often forget to specify https://... for that specific address in apps like
lynx or firefox. that's why the non-ssl version of that site is being loaded.
i'd like freebsd to take care of this so even if the app is trying to access
the non-ssl version it should in fact be redirected to the ssl version by
freebsd.

cheers.

Add some shell aliases to your shells rc's.

Bourne style shells:

alias your_name=lynx https://sub.domain.tld/;

Ill leave the c style shell syntax for you to figure out.

Now as long as you can remember your_name then you shouldn't have to much

It shouldn't be a problem. If you stick the broken drive in a new
system it will show up as a new device to the 2nd system.

You will then manually mount the 1st system via the device node to
wherever you want. It will not auto-mount that to /var .

So, for example your 2nd system has /dev/ad4s1  as its main disk.
When you plig the 2nd disk (from the old box) it will show up as
/dev/ad5s1 or similar. YOu would then just mount the /var/ slice to
wherever you want.

For example:
mount /dev/ad5sa6 /mnt/oldvar

or similar. Please note that your device nodes and slice numbers

I think (correct me if I am wrong) he is trying to describe that glabel is 
being used on both systems and that he is worried that a label of var 
that would be in /dev/ufs/var on two separate disks would be conflicting 
and which one would be mounted first as he does not wish for the disk he 
is trying to save the contents of to be mounted and be used as the var of 
the system he is placing the said disk he wants to recover.

Re: Salvage files from harddrive

Hello;
I have a hard drive that contains the /var file system in a system that
will not boot.
In single user mode I can mount  /var.

I want to take this disk and put it in another FreeBSD system and
try to copy the files I need off of it to a safe place.

The system I will plug it into will also have a separate disk with
/var.

Is there going to be a conflict with the labels and how would I
best go about this?

system is FreeBSD v6.2

Thank you in advance for guidance, suggestions.

If you can mount this disk in single user mode your best bet to be safe is 
just glabel it to something else that your second system is not before you 
take the disk out of the machine.


Even though I don't think it should/would be a problem I can not speak of a 
authoritative nature on this subject because I have not had to test such 
cases.


Best regards.

It may be a fantasy, but as fantasies go, it's not a bad
one.




This would be despite the lack of strong DRM or

license terms (GPL v3

is OK, right?).


No, it isn't okay, really.


That's ok: I've thought of an out for the licensing issue:
I can write up an RFC. That way the BSD people can boast about their reference 
implementation, while the GNU zealots can be assured that their pure 
implementation won't be leveraged against them.




  4. Publishers are authenticated with a

Public-key infrastructure

That caught my attention.  I don't think we
necessarily need a mainstream
style implementation of PKI, though.  I'd say either
go with simple
public key digital signatures in the style of OpenPGP or
take cues from
the Perspectives plugin for Firefox and do distributed web
of trust
style verification.  Certifying Authorities are
basically just a social
engineering trick; now, instead of trusting one party, you
have to trust
two.


I think I fell into the trap of using buzzwords. I *know* Certifying 
Authorities are an interm scam needed until the general population understands 
how public keys work.

I think PGP style (but binary) signatures on every ~32kB packet solves the 
problem of authentication in the event of of missing packets.

I was envisioning that the CNN's and BBC's of the world would have a series of 
public keys (one for each bureau), while Joe down the street would have 1 or 2 
(one public, one for darknets).





2. For interoperability, I need to stabilize key

points of the spec

before publication. Currently struggling with date

stamps (taking into

account leap seconds) (mostly resolved), and a

transform to allow the

publisher to be authenticated even if some data is

missing.

There are copyfree licensed implementations of date
management that take
leap seconds into account out there already.  Is there
some reason you
can't borrow liberally from them?


Probably because I don't know about them :)

Actually, I was planning to borrow from Unix Time, increasing the resolution, 
and making the number signed (for old recordings).

But, Unix time doesn't do leap seconds, so they have to be added back in.

Just recently, (reading cal(1)) I realized another problem: not everyone uses 
the Gregorian Calendar. Now I have to decide how to take that into account 
sufficiently.


4. A dual-license may quickly result in a fork that

implements

features I really don't want to see. (Read: anything

deliberately

incompatible.)


That's just another reason to go with a copyfree license
instead of the
GPL.



A copyfree license wouldn't have a stick preventing the implementation of an 
effective technological measure as described in Article 11 the 1996 WIPO treaty (GPL v3 
does).

If the (hypothetical) RFC explicitly says that copy-protection won't work (in the security 
considerations section), MAYBE a judge will decide any incompatible implementation is also 
ineffective at copy protection.


Regards,

James Phillips

Re: Apache20 port on FreeBSD 7.2 does a core dump

I am getting a lot of core dumps and Apache20 freezing.
I have installed the porting using the following make:

any suggestions as to how I might find out what is causing the problem and the

core dumps.

The first thing I'd try is re-including the excluded modules.
If you no longer get the crashes, you can start narrowing in on which
one is involved.  If you still get the crashes, you'll have to start
looking at the core files.

I'm assuming you're not used to using a debugger on a core file,
on the theory that you would have done that already if you were
comfortable with it.



I originally had them included and I was getting the core dumps, but I removed 
them because I don't need them and I am still getting the core dumps.

This is a production box and it would be hard to have debugger turned on.
I don't know if it would be helpful, but PHP is also really slow on this 
machine. I know that PHP would cause a dump in the php.core file and not 
apache.core.

How do I inspect the core file to find out which module caused it?

Thanks




Have you any special php5 modules loaded. I had a problem with I want to recall 
three or more extensions that would cause apache2X to dump core or halt in doing 
any further actions upon request.


If the above is the case you can disable some or all of your php5-extensions in 
local/etc/php/extensions.ini to test it out.


Best of luck.
