Reston/Herndon is a few miles down the Dulles Toll Rd to the west. I've been to all these places, so this is not some MapQuest google for me. The NSA, in turn -- as reported in documents recently leaked by Edward Snowden -- has a very strong interest in weakening the security of cryptographic algorithms, cryptographic software, and operating systems. We may want to look this gift horse very carefully in the mouth, or at least monitor very closely contributions of code that might introduce backdoors or weaknesses. On some level I agree with this - to a point. Examine how the NSA maneuvered the NIST to approve and mandate the FIPS-140 protocols, where deeply concealed was a known weak prng. To some of us this is not news - we've known it for a long time. Arguments of pro vs con, good vs evil, ad infinitum ad nauseum, etc, are better served in a different venue. It is so much easier to get away with concealing such things inside the closed-source paradigm. What I like and admire with open source is the code is out there in public for all to examine. These truly arcane crypto stuffs operate at such a high level of mathematical complexity that even very highly skilled cryptographer/mathematicians argue amongst themselves. I am just not that smart, or that highly educated. There are some in the open source community who do have very large propellers on their beanie caps. I defer to them simply because they are smarter then me. I would trust them long before I would trust closed source. I agree about the 'looking the gift horse in the mouth' concept. Bear in mind, however, some of the guys at NIST are pretty smart too. And yet this FIPS-140/prng stuff went right by them. My suggestion is for FreeBSD (indeed open source in general) to try and engage, include, and attract to the community the kinds of elite mathematician who may have the facilities to examine the code at a higher level than can dummies like me.

The update is a delta from what is already on your system. When you updated the older box, you pulled in lots of changes to get it current. The newer box needed fewer updates to get current.

Subject: sed Guru wanted
Hello,
I can delete in a text file with
sed '/pattern1/,/pattern2/d' file
all lines between the lines with the given patterns, including themself
also; how could I specify that the deletion should exclude the line with
/pattern1/, i.e. the addr is something like /pattern1/+1 ?
IF you use ed(1) style commands, then '/pattern1/+1,/pattern2/d' _is_ the
answer. GRIN
See: 'man 1 ed', specifically the LINE ADDRSSING section.
That said, it is also trivial with a simple 'state machine' construct in
awk(1):
/pattern2/ { skipping = 0; next; }
skipping{ next; }
/pattern1/ { skipping = 1; next; }
Note: omit the 'next;' from the 'pattern' line if you want that line to be
INCLUDED in the output;
Note: the order of the lines shown is important.
Comment: one _can_ implement something similar to the above state machine
in ed (making use of looping and conditional executin commands, and the
'hold' buffer to track state), but it gets (*very*) messy, difficult to
maintain, and presents a 'decoding' problem for the =next= person who has
to maintain it.
_I_ find awk to be generally preferable (more easily maintainable) for
any situation involving anything more than trivial line range specifications.

mouse configuration question

I'm building an ncurses-based app, and want to add mouse functionality. The ncurses mouse-related functions return 'total failure' status (value 0).

Thanks, but I don't understand your answer. I am puzzled a little bit. My understanding based on the FreeBSD handbook is that slices in FreeBSD are the partitions in linux. And that on one slice (linux partition) FreeBSD has (or can have?) several partitions. These are labeled as letters: a for root partition, b for swap, c for the whole slice, and e for a regular non-root partition. The terminology gets confusing. 'slices' in FreeBSD, and most other 'real' unix systems, correspond to MSDOS/Windows 'partitions', on hardware that supports the MSDOS partitioning scheme.. Unix has its own layer of disk subdivision, referred to here as 'BSD partitioning' (to make clear it is not the same as Microsoft's 'fdisk' functionality, as well. In the 'classical' form this gives the (up to 8) 'letter-named' pieces that a disk may be carved into. You can use 'slices', giving filesystem names, after 'BSD partitioning', like '/dev/ad4s0a', or you can omit 'slice' creation, and do only a 'BSD partioning scheme, giving device names like /dev/ad4a. In the 'BSD partitioning' scheme, letter 'c' is reserved for the entire disk, but SHOULD NOT ever be used directly. One can create another 'BSD partition' (using the letter of ones choice) that also spans the entire disk. There is no requirement to have more than one 'usable' partition on the disk. Why bother with partitions if you're going to use the whole slice? Are you saying that one can use/mount a whole slice without adding partitions to it? For example /dev/ada0s1 could be the root partition? Why bother with slices if you won't run out of partitions? Do you mean putting all partitions on one big slice? I would like to be able to mount different partitions independently from other OS, eg. from linux. As far as I know linux cannot mount FreeBSD partitions, only the whole slice. If one slice has several partitions, one single partition can not be mounted from linux. A full discussion gets 'messy'. there are lots of variations that complicate things -- including a single 'logical volume' with multiple physical disks (e.g. RAID), a single physical disk with multiple 'logical drives' on it (think 'fdisk' partitioning), *AND* the type of filesystem in use on the logical volume/drive. *ASSUMING* the 'Berkeley fast filesystem' (the traditional/classical system choice, also known as 'UFS'), a logical volume/drive must have a BSD 'volume label' on it, which allows subdividing that logical volume/drive into (up to) 8 letter-names parts. Each such 'part' holds a separate filesystem, and must be 'mounted', _individually_, before files on that filesystem can be acessed. The overall logic is similar for other filesystem types, however the mechanical details may be quite different. Could you please confirm if my understanding is correct, or explain a little bit more detailed what you meant? If you want a -single- filesystem to occupy an entire physical disk you can: a) use a 'dangerously dedicated' drive -- one with no 'fdisk' partitioning and only a BSD volume label, and create a single 'BSD partition' -- giving a device like '/dev/ad4h' b) creat a single 'fdisk' primary partition spanning the entire drive and put a BSD volume label on the primary partition, with only a single 'BSD partition' -- giving a device like '/dev/ad4s0h' c) do 'something similar' using a different partitioning scheme -- e.g. 'gpart' -- instead of 'bsdlabel'. d) do 'something similar' using a different type of filesystem -- e.g. 'ZFS' or 'EXT3' (beware: EXT3 is _not_ well-supported under FreeBSD, and there are 'good reasons' _not_ to use any of the EXT* filesystem types if one values the integrity of ones data in the event of 'unexpected' events. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to

Somebody can help me ?
There is probably a compiler error somewhere before the lines that you
posted. Can you show a little bit more?
I don't show more lines because the log is very long for paste here.
Look for lines with the words:
warning:
Warning:
error:
Error:
Report at least the 3 lines before each such occurance and 10 or so lines
after it.
This command:
grep -B 3 -A 10 -E -i '(warning|error):' {{logfile}}
should do the selection automatically.
Asking _someone_else_ to rummage through a megabyte-plus of log because you
can't be bothered to look for the 'magic words' that actually identify the
problem _is_ an unreasonable imposition on their kindness.
Ifi, on the other hand, you _don't_know_how_ to recognize an error message
in a build log, you should, bluntly, *not* be building software for your
system. Either use pre-build binaries, or hire someone who -does- know what
they're doing to build/install custom software for you.

Re: update from apache22 to apache24

Well, given that pkgng is a binary package management system, it achieves the required aim of keeping the ports tree nice and clean by the simple expedient of not downloading distfiles or using the ports to compile them. No mess created means none to be cleared up. Except it's not exclusively for binary packages. :-) Portsclean's 'L' option also cleans out un-needed libraries.

How to manually start firewall after system completed boot.

Is there some format of the service command that could be used to manually start the selected firewall? Any ideas on how to accomplish this is welcome. The boot process, as used here, is simply a series of calls to various scripts in /etc/rc.d ... any of which can (theoretically) be invoked by itself.

dump locking up system
(While the system involved is -CURRENT, this doesn't seem to have anything CURRENT-related.) On a system running: FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0: Sun Dec 30 12:52:09 EST 2012 amd64 running dump causes the system to lock up ... sometimes. Specifics: I have a cron job which runs at 0200 local; it dumps three filesystems - /, /var, and /usr - to an external hard drive attached by eSATA. (Dump is incremental Tuesday through Sunday, full on Monday.) After some time of working transparently, this now semi- reliably causes the system to lock up requiring power-off to fix. a) According to dumpdates, the dump of / always completes. Only dumping /var or /usr cause the lock-up. b) There's nothing else in cron running about that time. c) Top doesn't show any suspicious processes or activity. d) When doing fsck on re-boot, the only thing suspicious is a file - caught in fsck phase 1 - large enough to be the usused space on the disk. e) The dump is run in snapshot mode; this has not previously been a problem. f) The exact command used is: dump $DUMP_LEVEL -D $DUMPDATES_FILE -C $DUMP_CACHE -b 64 -Lau -f $DUMP_DATE.var.dump /var where all of the $VARs are appropriately defined elsewhere. g) When run outside the cron environment, the script always runs to completion. Two possibilities come to mind: some kind of hardware failure, or a subtle corruption of the file system. Please - someone out there hav a better idea.

Re: Fun Scripting Problem

From: Tim Daneliuk tun...@tundraware.com
Subject: Fun Scripting Problem
I know how to do this in Python, but I really want to do it in
straight Bourne shell. I have some ideas, but I thought I'd
give you folks a crack at this Big Fun:
a) You have a directory of files - say they're logs - generated
at nondeterministic intervals. You may get more than one a day,
more than one a month, none, or hundreds.
b) To conserve space, you want to keep the last file generated
in any given month (the archive goes back for an unspecified
number of years), and delete all the files generated prior to
that last file in that same month.
c) Bonus points if the problem is solved generally for either files
or directories generated as described above.
These are not actually logs, and no, I don't think logrotate can
do this ... or can it?
here's a one-liner:
rm ` \
stat -f %SB %B %N * \
| sort -k5nr \
| cut -c1-7,17-20,32- \
| awk 'BEGIN {a=;b=0;c=0} $1==a $2==b $3=c {print
$4;}{a=$1;b=$2;c=$3}' \
`
This selects on creation date. change the B (both of them) in the stat
call to use a different timestamp

Re: How to achieve E-Mail Notification on root login?
Polytropon writes: given there is a FreeBSD system with users in the wheel group, what is the best practise to send out a notification via E-Mail if one of them becomes root via su? In an ideal case the E-Mail would contain the user name and the time. I'm not sure if there already is a solution (provided in the base system) that offers this functionality, but the fact of a user having used su to su root is logged by the system. The line is appended to /var/log/messages: Feb 12 14:40:57 r56 su: poly to root on /dev/pts/2 The information you want is in there, and you could either use the whole line, or apply some sed, awk or even perl to form a message with less information (only date and user). A scripted solution could monitor /var/log/messages for changes and use the system's builtin mailer to deliver the message. Tools like tail -f, grep and | mail could be involved. It should be quite trivial to implement this and add a custom rc.d-style script (or even few lines in ye olde /etc/rc.local). Take a look at the -p option of split. The bigger question is how quickly do you need to know - instantly? once an hour? once a day?

UFS on FreeBSD is not endian-agnostic. It uses the host byte order for multibyte values. As result, you can share UFS volumes only between hosts with the same endianess, like i386/amd64/ia64 little endian or sparc64/mips big endian. AFAIK, NetBSD has such support. Wow... I didn't realise that. I thought UFS (1 or 2) takes all care of endian-ness. Do you mean that even I had say a SCSI internal disk with UFS2, I couldn't move it between a little and a big endian freebsd boxes? So what is the advice for transferring data via USB in such cases? Any other gpart partition I could use? you could use zfs. easier is to use the media as src/dest for tar/gtar/bsdtar/etc. tar is endian-agnostic, although there may be endian-ness issues with binary data in files inside the tarball. ___ 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

box via serial port backspace does not act as i expected. backspace shows
^? on screen. i searched alot and find out that stty has two parameters
-erase and erase2- to identify erase characters in terminal and they should
be set correctly. i set erase and erase2 to ^? by stty erase \^? and
stty erase2 \^? commands but nothing happened.
please let me know how i can fix it. i know it is simple issue but i really
do not know how to do that.

Why?? BECAUSE YOU TOld IT TO.
RTFM applies. Specifically 'man test'.
You need to either read some books on BASIC shell programming or
take a course or two on that subject.
This may sound harsh, but you will save yourself a -lot- of future
aggravation with some structured education. It will also assist
you in getting maximum value from the manpages.
Programming _is_ an art-form. You have to train yourself to think
the way the machine does. When it complains about 'something', it
is *AlMOST*ALWAYS* correct, and something you -think- is correct
is actually wrong. the hard thing to learn in troubleshooting
problems is to set aside what you know is correct, and look for
anything that could possibly cause the complaint. Remember, you're
looking for something impossible. grin

The machine in question does DNS lookups fine via dig or nslookup. I believe these connect directly to the DNS server(s) specified in /etc/resolv.conf. However, any program that uses gethostbyname() - like ping - fails and says it cannot resolve the name. I'm looking for hints here on why or how gethostbyname() and/or the network stack could get clobbered so as to not be able to talk to the DNS servers which I know are reachable via dig and nslookup. dig and nslookup use THEIR OWN resolver routines, =not= the 'standard library' routines. Something that fouls the library routines will not affect dig and nslookup. Given this is Solaris, check /etc/nis.switch (may not be the exactly correct name, but close -- I haven't used Solaris in a decade). check both the file content, and permissions.

Yes, I know gcc47 checks the format string.
But, time_t is of type int32, from a typedef statement.
*precisely* and the format string had %ld.
this IS a type mismatch, if a 'long' is a 64-bit value.

I did not think to do this on the FreeBSD system I was using yesterday.
What I don't understand is where gcc is losing track of this definition.
It *isn't*. grin
In 9.0, or maybe earlier, the definition of time_t was changed with a
view toward 64-bit systems. I remember a statement to the effect of in
2038, 32-bit time will overflow. It is unlikely that many 32-biot
systems will be around then. So, making the change to 64-bit now will
prevent having to do it in the future.
So, now, it seems that any calculation involving time_t requires a cast
FALSE. Calculation is OK. I/O format conversion is problematic.

update to SASL breaks sendmail
I have followed the canonical procedure to get Sendmail to use SASL. Yesterday this worked. This morning I updated cyrus-sasl to the latest version, which bumps the library version from .2 to ,3.

problem after installkernel going from 9.0 to CURRENT
Situation: One of my boxes failed, and for various reasons it became easier to just scrub and rebuild it. 1) Using BSDinstall, I created the first disk: ada0p1 freebsd-boot128k ada0p2 freebsd-swap4g ada0p3 freebsd-ufs 25g 2) Installed off the CD, got it up and running, everything was good. 3) Like it's predecessor, this wants to run CURRENT. Used csup (tag=.) to update the source tree as of midnight last night. 4) Built world - OK. Build kernel - OK. Ran mergemaster - OK. Installed kernel - OK. 5) On rebooting, the loader(??) claims to not be able to find a bootable partition - i.e. I get a screen that ends in mountpoint . Providing the presumptive value by hand returns error 19. 6) Boot using installation CD and use gpart show to double check device names and partitions; everything looks good. 7) Try normal booting again, no go. This is my first time installing to a GPT partitioned system, and I have (obviously) failed to grok something. I checked src/UPDATING and found nothing which covered this. What is it, and how do I fix it?

Please Focus on the part of the post you cut out which is asking about static ip addressees. The short answer is 'have the company _pay_ someone (who knows what they're doing) set it up for them'. To be blunt you lack the required knowlege of essential concepts and routine network configuration practices to either 'do it yourself' -or- to describe the _entire_ configuration environment with sufficient precision for anyone else to give you the 'simple' answer you require. The answer to your original queston, AS ASKED, is: the ifconfig output will depend on how the network admin set tbings up, and -nobody- can guarantee what he did. I'm not trying to be hostile or condescending, but you cannot do advanced things when you lack the fundamentals. I can produce an ifconfig output for a single interface, showing 4 different 'public' addressees and 6 'private' ones and *nobody* except the network admin for that box can tell which were staticly configured and which were issued via DHCP.

Hi guys
Take a look to the code below :

#include iniparser.h
#include dictionary.h
using namespace std;
int main()
{
dictionary *dict = new dictionary;
dirent *dir = new dirent;
char *c;
dict = iniparser_load(/tmp/test.ini);
c = iniparser_getstring(dict,s,w);
cin.get();
return 0;
}
I have this error :
***main.cpp:17: undefined reference to `iniparser_load'
***/main.cpp:18: undefined reference to `iniparser_getstring'
any suggestions ?
a) your code doesn't match the errors -- 3-4 lines missing.
b) did you specify the iniparser lib when you tried to compile ?
Thanks in advance ...

BAD IDEA(TM) my question is: are there any ati commands in modems that should be run continuously (in the same communication)? i mean running one command, close connection, open it again and run another command would make any wrong? yes. my program should work with all modems not a specific one. any hints or comments are really appreciated.

Re: Safe Way to Tell if Process is Running
Subject: Safe Way to Tell if Process is Running Date: Tue, 04 Dec 2012 13:39:41 -0600 From: Martin McCormick mar...@dc.cis.okstate.edu About 20 years ago, I saw some code in which you verified whether or not a process was running by giving it a kill -0 command. If the process was running, nothing happened to it but your kill -0 command exited with a 0 status. If there was no process with that PID, the kill command exited non-zero. I use this in a system(command); in a C program I wrote some years ago and I think this is now causing a segmentation fault when the process number being signalled doesn't exist. Is there a better way to determine if process number 12345 is running without bothering it? None of the documentation on kill (1) shows a signal 0 nor does kill -l. Something tells me this is a bad idea these days, but I still need an easy way to see if XYZ process is still alive. 'man 2 kill' tells all. ___ 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

Possible, yes, but you do NOT want to do it THAT way. It bypasses all system access controls. set up a special purpose userid with a login script that runs a terminal program (via 'exec') like kermit with a start-up script for that program that selects the proper port and then sets the needed serial settings, and goes into 'connect' mode. whed they exit the terminal session, they're automatically logged off the system. ___ 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
Re: Unexepected results when piping syslog to a fifo
Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2012 22:21:30 -0600
From: Paul Schmehl pschmehl_li...@tx.rr.com
Subject: Re: Unexepected results when piping syslog to a fifo
Now I'm even more confused. According to man (5) syslog.conf, a pipe
should redirect its output to /dev/null.
A vertical bar (``|''), followed by a command to pipe the
selected
messages to. The command is passed to sh(1) for evaluation, so
usual
shell metacharacters or input/output redirection can occur. (Note
however that redirecting stdio(3) buffered output from the invoked
command can cause additional delays, or even lost output data in
case
a logging subprocess exited with a signal.) The command itself
runs
with stdout and stderr redirected to /dev/null.
And yet this:
*.* |cat /var/run/program/program.fifo results in the log data going both
to the fifo and to /var/log/messages. I really don't want to fill up the
messages log with this stuff. Any suggestions?
to clear up the confusion:
1) syslogd creates an environment where stdout/stderr are set to /dev/null,
invokes sh in that environment, passing it the command string for
evaluation/execution. If the command string does *not* redirect
stdout/stderr, they are /dev/null.*IF* redirected in he command string,
things go where redirected.
2) syslogd writes messages to _every_ destination where the selection
criteria match. To accomplish what you want you'll need something
like:
+remotehost
*.* |cat fifo
-remotehost
{console criteria} /dev/console
{'messages' criteria} /var/log/messages
{{ etc., etc.}}
[ you may need +* on it's own line just before -remotehost

From: Aleksandr Miroslav alexmiros...@gmail.com To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Finally got sick of seeing tons of ssh break-in attempts in my logs. Am considering using denyhosts, or fail2ban. Anyone have any experience with these? I'm already using the AllowUsers facility of ssh to only allow specific users in, so I'm not overly concerned about the attempts. The single most effective method of reducng such log 'noise' is to run sshd on a non-standard port. Does NOT provide any added security; DOES reduce the noise. virtually _100%_effective_ at noise reduction. fail2ban is painlesss to install/configure. Helps with repeat stuff from he same source. Not much help with 'distributed' sources. I've used it, found non-standard port to be 'good enough for me'. ___ 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

For instance, when I have a 12TB filesystem then the default 8% margin gets close to the value of 1TB, which seems like a waste of capacity. the tunefs remarks do apply. especially the threshold for space vs. time optimization.

The manual/ manpage for portsnap(8) and its use of 'command' is precise *and* entirely consistant with roughly 40(!!) years of Unix documentation history. (see, for instance, the 'mt' manpage, which existed before 6th Edition Unix.) And, of course, if one follows/accepts jb's reasoning, that which follows the '-c' parameter on a shell invocation is not a command. nor is that which follows '-exec' on a 'find' invocation. nor is that which follows the 'exec' command. ` *snicker* ___ 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
