Set boot loader to boot off CD manually

2003-12-09 Thread Daniel Goepp
Hi all,

I was banging my head against the wall too long yesterday, so I have
broken down, and have to ask.  Any help on this matter is greatly
appreciated.

Here is what I'm trying to do.  I have two computers, both running 4.8,
clean, minimal installs.  They have two serial cables connected to each
other to act as serial consoles, and -Dh has been added to /boot.config,
along with ttys having been updated.  The console bit works great.  What I
want to be able to do, is completely rebuild one of the machines remotely.
 So I log into one, serial over to the other, and reboot it.  Then, when
the loader comes up, I stop it, and break to the "ok" prompt.  I unload
the kernel that was starting to load, and at this point, want to boot off
CD, to rebuild the system, as though I had gone into the BIOS, and set the
CD as the first boot device.  However, I don't have remote access to the
BIOS, so I can't do this.

Here is some information about the systems, and what I have tried so far:

They are identical computers, that I built myself, very default machines. 
IDE everything.

atapci0:  port 0xff00-0xff0f at device 2.5 on
pci0
ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0

ata1-slave: ATAPI identify retries exceeded
ad0: 38166MB  [77545/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100
acd0: CDROM  at ata1-master PIO4

I have tried all combinations of load that I can think of.  And I have
tried setting loaddev and root_disk_unit to all sorts of things.  Here is
the output from a lsdev:

cd @ 0xff5c
disk @ 0xef68
disk0:   BIOS drive A:
disk1:   BIOS drive C:
disk1s1a: FFS
disk1s1b: swap
disk1s1e: FFS
disk1s1f: FFS
disk1s1g: FFS
pxe @ 0xd6d8

I have also tried just doing an ls on the device, by setting currdev to
all sorts of things...like cd9660:cd, just 'cd' and the BIOS physical
addresses in the form X:acd(Y,Z) [0-4]:acd([0-4],[a-c])

No joy.

I have also tried booting with the -C option, and here is the tail end of
that attempt:

acd0: CDROM  at ata1-master PIO4
Mounting root from cd9660:cd0a
no such device 'cd'
setrootbyname failed
iso_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6
Mounting root from cd9660:acd0a
cd9660: RockRidge Extension
init: not found in path
/sbin/init:/sbin/oinit:/sbin/init.bak:/stand/sysinstall
panic: no init

No joy.

I'm trying to think what other information might be useful.  As I see it,
the problem is, that once a version of FreeBSD has been installed, and the
loader loads off the HD, it doesn't want to have anything to do with the
CD any more...

I realize I have other options, like PXE or FTP, or having an "install
partition", to hold an install of BSD, just to install to the other
partition.  I really don't want to go down these roads right now, since I
want to be able to have someone pop in a new CD, to switch around versions
of BSD running on these boxes.

Help anyone!?

Thanks!

just add IPFW, IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT, and DUMMYNET to your
kernel, no
need to remove IPFILTER.

then just add whatever rules are needed for dummynet. IPFW should then
leave
your packets alone for ipfilter to handle.

RE: incoming bandwidth limiting using ipfilter

2003-01-03 Thread Daniel Goepp
The question is, are they charging you for total bandwidth used, or some
real time rate limit?  When you use bandwidth shaping, you can reduce
your rate, but that will just spread things out.  So if they are
charging you for total bytes moved, then you would have to do some math
to figure out what that breaks down to in Mbps, and put a throttle in to
that rate.  I'm not sure what Mike means by packets already traversing
the network.  If you shape your bandwidth, it's not like all those
packets just pile up at your server's front door, waiting to get in.
The IP protocol will pause within itself to not exceed your defined
bandwidth.

That's bad. But if the machine doesn't accept more than N packets/sec,
why would the ISP router forward any more packets to it? I wouldn't
know the internals, but isn't there any kind of flow control in the
protocol?

RE: how can I filter on subject with sendmail 8.12.6?

2003-01-04 Thread Daniel Goepp
The problem with this solution is that it doesn't prevent potential
queuing a lot of bounced emails, back to domains that are bad.  The best
place to stop spam, is to deny it right at the on set, so as to not load
up your system trying to deliver bad mail.

-Daniel


The simple solution if you're running sendmail is to install
mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin and mail/procmail.  It checks for known hooks,
verifies headers and checks for mail servers that are in the various
RBLs.
I've been using it for 2 weeks and only had one false positive.

Postfix vs. Sendmail

2003-01-05 Thread Daniel Goepp
So mx1.freebsd.org itself runs Postfix, but yet, sendmail is still so
embedded in FreeBSD that it's almost imposible to get cleaned out.  When
are they going to make the FreeBSD install configurable enough to not have
to include sendmail, bind, openssl, etc?  I choose to either install these
apps as ports, or not at all.

Is there a way to break down the install, and just get a bare bare bare
bones install of just base, crypto and man pages, like the install says
it's going to do?  I can't imagine this would be too hard to do!

If anyone has any information about the future plans on changing the
install process, I'm all ears.

Thanks.

Yes, I have been through all that, and I do right now just do a couple

talking about being able to do something like

ports-security-openssl
ports-security-openssh
ports-net-bind9
ports-mail-postfix
ports-www-apache13

And have it just updates those specific apps, not the whole branch.  I
realize that I can just download the individual ports I want, and
install them, without using cvsup, but I like being able to leave it in
my cron, and have them update automatically, and tell me when there are
new versions of just the apps I run, not every mail app out there.

Check out the FreeBSD handbook.  The section on using CVSup talks about
the various tags you can use for ports...they are intuitive.  So instead
of ports-all tag, you might put "ports-mail" in your cvsup file.

My instinct tells me to install SASL first, without LDAP, then install

Greetings,

I'm new to the list and new to FreeBSD. Here is my situation:

I have downloaded the 4.7-mini iso from one of the ftp sites. I have
extracted the file and burnt it onto a cd-rw as a data cd (ISO) using
nero.
I am trying to install FreeBSD from this disc, but am having difficulty.
A
little more background on my current system config... I am running win2k
pro
(NTFS), which is dedicated to one of my hard drives. I have freed up
another
hard drive (3 GB) to install nix. I changed my BIOS settings to boot
from
CD, restarted and... the system boots into windows. I feel I'm just
overlooking a simple detail, but I'm not familiar enough with FreeBSD
yet to
understand what I need to do to install. I have read the eratta.txt,
readme.txt and the install.txt, but can't seem to find what file is the
actual install file, or how I can go about installing from the CD onto
my
available drive? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill

That would be perfect!  If anyone has any ideas on setting that up, I'm

better to do this week? ;)  Although, it would be nice to have something
like this for the src tree too.  For example, I choose to install bind9
from the port, not from the src tree, and would rather that cvsup not
update bind in the src tree, and that buildworld ignore it.  I know that
you can get make.conf to ignore bind, but this to me is the clumsy way.
You shouldn't have to specifically tell the compiler to not build
something, I would rather tell it what to build...

I supposed, I guess my curious mind was pondering actually playing with
how to use LDAP as a back end to SASL, since LDAP is my authoritative DB

install SASL, then LDAP, and get over it.  Interesting that these two

Depends on your needs. Do you need LDAP as a SASL backend ? Most likely 
not. You probably want LDAP to make use of SASL, not the other way 
round. So you build SASL first and then LDAP. You can't have it both 
ways, I believe.

Right, I use pkg_version for tracking what I have installed, vs. what
the latest is.  I appreciate everyone's help on this one, but I think
I'm being misunderstood.  I really just wanted to know if there was a
way to get cvsup to be more specific, and in fact there isn't.  I would
like to maintain a local cvs tree of just a hand full of specific apps.
I have no need for 99% of the ports currently available, and just wanted
to find a better, cleaner way to deal with this.  Someone responded with
use CVS directly, not cvsup.  So, I think I'm going to go ahead and
write my own script, to read a config file with a list of apps, and pull
their directories.  Unless someone has already done this.  I may well
write something to cvsup, since I have a feeling I'm not the only person
that would benefit from a tool that will go just one level deeper in
syncing

You could use portupgrade with the --noexecute option to figure out
which ports have a newer version.  There may be a better way, but a line
like:

# portupgrade --noexecute openssl* | grep Upgrading
--->  Upgrading 'openssl-0.9.6g_1' to 'openssl-0.9.6h'
(security/openssl)
#

...let's you know that you could upgrade from your current version of
0.9.6g_1 to 0.9.6h.  You could use this output to do various things.
Alternatively, but maybe not wisely, if you want specific ports to be
updated unconditionally via a cron job just use an appropriate
portupgrade command in your script.

doesn't quite solve your problem, but http://www.freshports.org/ has a
feature
whereby you send it output from pkg_info and it emails you daily letting
you
know when the port has been updated. (you still have to manually
download the
port, or update your tree)

RE: Installing FreeBSD 4.7 from ISO image

2003-01-05 Thread Daniel Goepp
Couple more guesses for you.  First, you are probably just burning the
image file to the CD in your first example.  If you put that CD in your
computer when you have windows loaded, do you see one file called 4.7
mini.iso, or do you see what looks like a CD with a bunch of files on
it?  You do not want to tell your CD burning app to make a bootable CD,
all of the bootable CD information is already contained in the original
image file.  So I would give up on that route.  I don't know NERO, but
in most burning apps, there is an option, "Create CD from ISO image",
and then an option to select the image file.  In your example, it
appears that NERO will only look for an IMA file to create an image
from.  So here's what I would do:

1.  Verify that Nero can create a CD from an ISO image file, and not
just their own proprietary image files.
2.  Find in their help their process for doing so, and when asked
for the image file, point it to the ISO image file.
3.  Leap in joy when it works.

Hope this helps.

Subject: Installing FreeBSD 4.7 from ISO image

Hello,

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions so far. I'm still having trouble,
but
I'm determined to figure this thing out! I can't wait to be running
FreeBSD.
Here is what I have tried so far:

As per Daniel's suggestion, I verified that other bootable CD's work on
my
system, which they do. I was able to boot using an old Slackware 7.0 CD
I
have. Daniel also suggested that maybe the issue has something to do
with my
ISO burning process. I think that is exactly where the problem is, so
I'm
trying to get it right.

As Dzokayi suggested, I made sure I burned the file as an image and
didn't
just burn the file as is to the CD-RW. The original file I downloaded
from
the FTP site came compressed as a WinRAR archive. After downloading it,
I
extracted it to my HDD. In windows, it shows all kinds of folders (i.e.
bin,
boot, catpages, etc). The files themselves are not readable in windows,
obviously, because they are made with a different file system.

Then I followed the suggestion given by Laszlo, which was to burn the
actual
archive without extracting it. Fortunately, I saved the original file so
this was easy enough to do. But...it didn't work either. After burning
the
4.7 mini.iso (compressed WinRAR) file, putting the CD in the tray and
rebooting...nada, hangs on 'booting from ATAPI CD'

Lastly, I realized that I have been burning data CD's and that Nero had
an
option for burning bootable CD's. Duh! So I went back to Nero and
started
over. The problem I'm running into now is that when I create a new
compilation in Nero to set up a bootable CD, Nero gives two choices to
pick
from the source of boot image data; a) a bootable logical drive (must be
under 650 MB, which I don't have) and b) an Image File. When I click on
the
browse button to select an image file, Nero only wants to look for files
with the extension of .ima. I'm thinking that the file I downloaded from
the
FTP site is indeed an image file, no? What I'm going to try next is to
rename the archive file I downloaded to end in .ima and burn it. There
is
also a field to choose a type of emulation. The choices are Floppy,
Hardisk
or No Emulation. I have been choosing No Emulation, as per the Nero
manual,
this is for bootable installation CD's (i.e. what I'm trying to make).
Any
further suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
Bill (one day running BSD)

FreeBSD crew, has decided for us the list of apps they consider to be
"part of" the OS.  Some contributed, some developed by themselves, some
standard unix tools, etc...However, that leaves the rest of us cleaning
out these apps that we didn't want in the first place.  Don't get me
wrong, I love FreeBSD, but this particular aspect of it is driving me up
a wall.  I'm trying to figure out how to get the most bare install
possible, and then from there, add things on that I want.  It would seem
that this would be easier for them than harder.  And a nice little app
to control what actually goes into the install.  I know, really there is
probably little effect on the system to have things on it that are not
used.  However, to some that's considered a security breach, to me, it
also just bothers me.  What if I don't want rcp to be installed on my
system at all?  There are a million and one of these little apps,
utilities, etc...I can understand that some are standard.  However, they
can be categorized, and selected.  I'm probably the only person that
wants this level of control.  So, sorry for wasting everyone's time...

Peace.

Well yes, I would love to.  

However, I'm not sure I have the know how yet.  I have plenty of
experience in programming, but more db and interface stuff, I also don't
have any specific experience with FreeBSD development.   Plus, why
invent the wheel.  CVSup is already written, and the FreeBSD core team
has control of the source tree, and what gets installed.  If someone can
save me some time in searching, where is the source that controls what
is installed by FreeBSD?

Also, anyone on a first name basis with John Polstra?  I have submitted
an email to the "comments" address on their web page, but I would be
willing to bet it will get swept under the rug.  And I'm not sure
learning Modula-3 is on my agenda right now either.

I do hear what you are saying though.  Trust me, I love this environment
where so many people run into a blocking point, writes some to fix the
problem, and then submit it to share with everyone else, and I would
love to contribute in any way I can, with whoever might actually have
more knowledge on this matter than I do.  But also, these are projects
currently in someone else's court right now, and I don't know the
players.  

I realize, as I mentioned in another post, I may well be the only person
that really wants this functionality.  I welcome comments though about
what other people think on the matter, in general or specific terms.  Or
any information about what future plans there are on modifications to
the install process.  And if this is not the forum for this, I would
appreciate being told where the best place to bring this up would be.  I
checked the archives on freebsd-config, and it would appear to be a
largely dead list.

Thanks.

Peace.

I don't think it is, because you also have to control what source you
download.  So in conjunction with only keeping what you use in sync, you
also only compile and install what you use.  In fact, it's the
communication between cvs/cvsup and the FreeBSD src build/install that
I'm having problems with.

I don't know why you're talking about cvsup; cvsup is not relevant to
this; it is a method for downloading files, primarily from cvs
archives.  What you're looking for is changing the base system itself;
how you get the source code is irrelevant.

Final comment regarding install options

2003-01-06 Thread Daniel Goepp
First, thank you all for your comments and information regarding this
matter.  I'd just like to note a couple of things, as I go on my merry
way to create my own release, and tools to do so.

1.  If anyone has any interest in working on this, please feel free
to contact me out side of this group, in private email.
2.  Many people commented that sendmail, etc should all be left in,
the more the merrier, and no harm done.  I think that if the course for
FreeBSD is to continue to create a dynamic, yet stable and friendly
system, then considering the options of all kinds needs to be included
in that.  If you are someone who just wants a default install, then
fine, they don't have to change anything, because a default install is
already available.  But for everyone else that wants to choose the
applications we run, give us a better tool to do so.
3.  Thanks for the pointers on the "release" tree.  I have been
digging through the /usr/src/release stuff, and the man pages on it.  I
will see if I can sort this one out, and build something.  And thanks
for the tip on the "bare" picobsd.
4.  I will try a quick post in advocacy after I have worked on it a
bit more.  And yes, I realize this topic has gone past the framework of
this forum, and I will take it elsewhere now.  Thank you all again for
your patience and comments.

Peace.

CVSup has *nothing* to do with an initial install of FreeBSD.  Your
problem seems to stem from your misunderstanding of how things actually
work.  The stuff you want is in /usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall and has
nothing at all to do with CVSup.

I'm not trying to flame you here or make you feel stupid, please don't
take this message that way.  You just seem to have some misconceptions
that are leading you in the wrong direction and I'm just trying to point
them in a better direction :-)

- jim

I don't feel flamed, but I should clarify my intentions.  I understand
completely the separation between the two, this is my problem.  My
original question is how to unite them, not "are they are separated?"

Would this not seem to make sense for many of us to have?  I have read
that a future version of FreeBSD is going to have a "better" installer,
but I'm not sure that is going to solve the problem either, unless it's
going to work with the source better.  Just having more options on how
to install, although nice, would just change where you start, not how
you maintain your system over time.

Here is what I am proposing:  

A dynamic installer, that can start at a very basic and bare point, but
doesn't have to.  For all the folks out there that just want a default
install, great...But for those of us who like to actually be in control
of our systems, there needs to be more.  This installer would not only
just install what you selected, but also leave a configuration file,
with the options and applications you selected in the install.

Now, here is where cvsup needs to step in, and be able to read that
file, and only keep the items you have selected synchronized in /usr/src
and /usr/ports (/usr/docs too now that I think of it).

And then, when you do a make buildworld or make installworld, you only
compile and install what you had previous selected.

Some folks believe that using the "core" versions of the apps is the
best method.  However, even the FreeBSD documentation itself conflicts
this.  OpenSSL is one of the core apps, and that's fine, but yet it's
recommended that you install the ports version of OpenSSH, which is also
installed by default.  What is the actual benefit of an application
being considered part of the OS, vs. a local install?  I have my own
feelings on this, and there appears to be a lot of people on both sides
of this one, so I'm not trying to start any debates here.  But the line
between the two needs to be more clearly defined and decided on.  It's a
mess to clean some of this up, you do a default install of the openssh
port right now, and you now have two copies of it on your system, not an
upgraded original.

Sorry, I'm going on more than I meant to here.  All I'm trying to say is
that beginning to end, applications on the server could be controlled
better, from what gets installed, to what gets its source synchronized,
to what gets compiled.  I love BSD, and I'm not digging on the team,
they do a great job.  But I have met with a great deal of frustration
cleaning out applications I don't want at all, upgrading applications I
do want, compiling applications I'll never use, etc...  So, in closing,
if you think there is a way to do what I'm talking about here, I'm all
ears.  But I don't think it's because of a lack of understanding in how
it currently works, but more a desire for it to be more powerful.

Peace.

The LS -L command will display the long info about files
in a directory.  FBSD 4.0 through 4.5 LS -L command would
display among other things the month/day/year the file
was created.  FBSD versions 4.6 and 4.7 displays the
hour:minute the file was created in the year field instead
of the year.  To me this looks like there is a bug in the
routine that populates the file's creation date field upon
creation of the file and the LS -L command is just displaying
what it finds in the year field which has been populated
with incorrect data.

I am looking for confirmation of my interpretation of the
problem from other FBSD users, before I submit PR on it.

/usr/sbin/sendmail is a symbolic link to /usr/sbin/mailwrapper. ie
invoking /usr/sbin/sendmail will consult /etc/mail/mailer.conf.

 "A person should be able to do a small bit of everything,

This is exactly my point, we are running our selves in legacy circles to
comply with the original application.  And even worse, we are continuing
to conform for how sendmail wants thing, and still calling it sendmail.
So, for example, if you install postfix...It replaces the sendmail
executable also.  So, sendmail (mailwrapper version), points to sendmail
(postfix replacement), which finally points to the postfix delivery app.
Seems a bit much...

Re: BIND 8/9

2003-02-04 Thread Daniel Goepp
I'm glad that someone else is questioning the way this works.  The last time
I brought this up, people responded in a similar way of "just ignore it".
Which to me is bad system administration.  It's not necessarily about disk
space, but more about being a responsible operator.  For example, if it was
a security application that we were talking about instead, leaving around
old versions, with security holes, would be considered dangerous.  And
beyond that, is it not presumptuous to think that all users want programs
like bind on every machine?  I understand the need to integrate contributed
software to a core install, but why do this without giving options about how
to control it?

So in a more general sense, does anyone know what the planned future is for
better control of what is and isn't installed?
