RE: Remote Administration Problem
What kind of error messages do you get? I am assuming if you are trying to login directly as root then you'll have to enable root login in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config and uncommenting PermitRootlogin yes. This is a big security risk to login directly as root let alone telnet. Also make sure it's not blocked by a firewall or port 22 is not blocked by your ISP. Only speaking from experience here as I've had a similar issue.

sleeping for 30 seconds
Hello world, I've got a shell script that in essence does this: FOREVER: pre-process stuff mainapp post-process stuff If the mainapp returns too soon, the assumption must be that there is a configuration problem of some sort. Under those conditions, I don't want to immediately jump to the pre-process stuff and start the mainapp again. Instead, I want to sleep for an arbitrary time between attempts (giving an operator some leeway to fix the configuration before trying again). If mainapp runs long enough, then it should just post-, pre- mainapp again immediately. What's a good sh algorithm for the above? (assume 10 seconds indicates error condition and a 50 second sleep between iterations when necessary, and I don't need a 'five attempts then sleep' thing). Also, assume I've simplified for the home audience. The sh script is lots more involved then the example above implies. rip ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Remote Administration Problem
Hi Hamed, Why are you using telnet for administration, when there is SSH available? :) In default configuration SSH is not allowing to log in as [EMAIL PROTECTED] What you want to enable is: PermitRootLogin yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config But is it difficult for you to log in there as normal user and then switch by su to root? su is checking in, who is in group wheel, and if you are in wheel group, then you are allowed to su to root, else you are blocked to su to root. You wouldn't have to go to server room, if you would create also another ordinary user account to which you will be loggin in when using ssh. cheers, Martin On Fri, Mar 26, 2004 at 12:43:26AM -0800, Hamed Abangar ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: Dear members I'm new to this list and also I'm new to FreeBSD environment .I'm network administrator in an isp.Recently i have changed our Internet servers from Linux to freebsd ( cache servers , dns servers , firewall , mail servers) .

I suppose I could just hang up the modem, but that's not elegant. Others have posted a number of useful solutions to this sort of problem. However all of those solutions require a deal of forethought. Suppose you've got a long running process hogging the foreground of your shell, and you want to background it. All you need do is hit Ctrl-Z to stop the process and then 'bg' to restart it in background. If you've got a lot of jobs running concurrently in a shell you might need to tell the shell which one to background, which you do by: 'bg %n' -- 'n' is the job number, as returned by the 'jobs' shell built-in command. Putting the process into the background like that is usually enough to protect the process from being killed when you log out, although different shells can behave differently in that respect.

Recent versions of the sendmail are installed non-setuid-root for security reasons (paranoia probably justified in the case of sendmail). Since local mail delivery requires root privilege in the general case, all local mail is forwarded to the smtp port on the local host for local delivery. If there is no sendmail daemon running as root and listening on the local smtp port, local mail cannot be delivered. Even on a non-networked single user workstation this is inconvenient because cron job output is delivered via email. I think you can modify /etc/mail/freebsd.submit.mc to deliver local mail the old way and make /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail setuid root. This may be documented /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/src/SECURITY. It looks ugly to me and may create worse security problems than running a sendmail daemon that listens on the smtp port. The standard FreeBSD version of sendmail is built with libwrap support. If your primary concern is hackers on other systems abusing your sendmail daemon, you can modify /etc/hosts.allow to permit smtp port access only from the local host. Life is too short to spend most of it trying to understand obscure sendmail documentation.

Now, a favicon.ico is a 16pix x 16pix image in a certain format. If you assume 16 bits per pixel, thats 512 bytes. You could go up to 24 bits and still fit within a single packet. So read in 512 bytes from /dev/urandom instead, and spoof the .ico image format around it, and output that instead. Every user ends up with a different favicon in their browser window and you can claim 'well, it works for me, I don't know what /you/re talking about what do you /mean/ it looks like garbage?' Hm.

We're having some trouble with keyboard detection on versions later than 4.0. Version 4.0 detected the keyboard and the probing finished: atkbdc0: keyboard controller (i0842) at port 0x60-0x6f on isa0 atkbd0: AT Keyboard irq 1 on atkbdc0 Using version 4.4 or 4.5 (cdroms), the installation seemed to hang when it started probing hardware. After doing some digging (man boot), I found that if the keyboard is not detected, the output is sent to the serial port instead of the internal display which is why it appeared to hang. In checking the mail archives, I found there was a change to the way the keyboard was probed between 4.0 and 4.1. The atbkd driver flag FAIL_IF_NO_KBD (0x1) was added along with other changes for USB support. Changing this flag in the hardware configuration didn't seem to help (0x0, 0x2, 0x3). We also tried some different booting options: boot -P, boot -D and boot -h. A few combinations of boot options and keyboard flags were tried also. Any suggestions for a combination to try would be appreciated. The Plug and Play option was set to off during all the testing. It doesn't seem to be an issue with the keyboard itself since two keyboards were tried. There are no problems with keyboard detection on his windows or Corel Linux installations. This box is a Gateway PII 450 using an Advaced Logic Reseach motherboard and Phoenix bios 4.0 Release 6. An installation of 4.0 could probably be accomplished but it would be better if a later version could be used. Of course, upgrading from 4.0 would pose a problem also. Any insight, direction or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not sure what to suggest to him to try at this point. I've put the hand-transcribed probe results from 4.0 at the end for reference. Its understood that there may be other unknown hardware issues after installation. I know that feeling well, my desktop PC never gets it's keyboard detected by FreeBSD, if you can get to the visual configuration screen then you can change the atkbd flags to 0x0 which should allow you to use it. I admit that I've started building my own releases with that flag set to 0x0 though as the visual config sometimes doesn't work here :) I had him retest using that 0x0 flag but it still would not allow the probing to continue. He did verify that he could change the flag for the keyboard in the visual configuration screen. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. I know there's others that have had this issue come up. I'm just hoping I can hit on a solution before he becomes discouraged. Anybody?? Following up with the solution just for the archives. Yes, I know its a long time after the fact but troubleshooting over distance is not easy. The red herring of an older installation going ok didn't help. In this case, it turned out to be a second parallel port card that was somehow conflicting with the video card and causing the apparent keyboard hang during installation. Removing that parallel port card for the installation allowed the install (4.9-RELEASE now) to proceed. Moral: If you have problems with the install hanging, remove any non-essential hardware and try, try again.

A good idea is also to build a debugging version of gaim and provide a backtrace: /etc/make.conf: CFLAGS=-O -pipe -g STRIP= The reinstall gaim, and once it crashes, either gather a backtrace with bugbuddy (it should be started automatically if it's installed), or with gdb: gdb gaim gaim.core (the enter 'bt' at the gdb prompt).

Re: Monitoring load average - healthy figure?
Jamie wrote: I've googled the results, and I've seen a couple posts from people who claim that the general rule of thumb is that your load average should be less than the number of CPU's. I don't know what OS they were referring to, however. Does this sound right for FreeBSD? Are there better ways of monitoring load average? If the load average is greater than the # of CPU's, your machine is CPU-bound and tasks are waiting to get processor time. If that's because the machine is a busy server, one ought to add more resources or rebalance the load. If this happens because you're running a screensaver or setiathome, you probably don't care. :-) I use a warning system which notifies me (via email) if the 5-minute load average on one of my servers goes too high, which I've set at 2.5 for single-proc machines, 4.5 for dual-procs, and 7 for the single quad-proc box I've got.

You could run top and watch the C column, which shows which particular CPU is being used by a process. This is quite interesting. After rebuilding my kernel for SMP support, I noticed the load average went up slightly. Is that normal? Right now, the system is being tested as a mail gateway server, running sendmail, mailscanner, SpamAssassin and clamav. Before I did the recompile, my load average was low, almost zero. It is showing a load average of around 0.02 now...Not much, but interesting. Any ideas?

If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

RE: FreeBSD - Linux / Unix ?
From: Jerry McAllister Sent: March 25, 2004 07:17 Much of what the responder said here is right, but I think there might be just one little point to pick. ... lots excised ... B. Unix Depends on what you mean by Unix. There is code in it that derives from the original ATT UNIX. It is this. Although the idea of Unix may have started in Bell Labs, I thought the big lawsuits 10+ years ago and lots of work by early developers settled that no code in the current BSD line can be said to derive from Bell Labs code. Actually, that is not true. The only point the lawsuits settled definitively is that BSD did not infringe on USL's copyrights. In fact it was basically stipulated that some parts of NET/2 / BSDi =were= derived (even copied) from the USL code, but that it didn't matter because the copyrights being claimed had been abandoned or were invalid for one reason or another. -Dan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Vinum Subdisk Crashed - How To Repair?
Please excuse whatever format in which this email arrives. My system is unusable so I am posting from Yahoo!. I have a 4.9-RELEASE-p4 system. I have not made any changes to any source code. I have 3 vinum volumes configured. While attempting to diagnose problems with one of the volumes that uses a firewire drive, my system crashed with a trap 12 error. I have my /usr configured as a striped vinum volume with one plex and two subdisks. Upon reboot, the usr volume has one subdisk in a crashed state. Thus I can't mount /usr and can't get my system up and running. I *REALLY* don't want to lose my data on /usr as I don't have a backup. It was my backup volume problems I was looking at when my trouble started. I have looked at http://www.vinumvm.org/vinum/how-to-debug.html. I have a copy of my config files and the page says one can use those to recreate his config without losing data as it does not write to the subdisks. Is this what I should do? Should I do something else? Please cc me on any replies as I am not able to receive them via my subscription at the moment. Thanks for your help!
