[gentoo-user] Trying to debug postgrey
Ive been running postgrey for years without any problems but today I noticed I hadn't gotten email for awhile and realized upon investigation that postgrey wasnt running so postfix was rejecting mail. What's maddening is that I can run postgrey quite happily from the command line in the foregorund, but if I try to use the init script or otherwise try to daemonize it, it silently crashes: # /etc/init.d/postgrey start * Starting Postgrey ... [ ok ] # pgrep -af postgrey Its not running. The logs dont show anything useful. If I ask the init script to be verbose I see this: # /etc/init.d/postgrey start --verbose * Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ] * Starting Postgrey ... * start-stop-daemon: fopen `/var/run/postgrey.pid': No such file or directory [ ok ] # which doesn't make much sense. -- Ajai Khattri Systems Admin | Web / Mobile Developer

[gentoo-user] What's the story with 2.6.35 kernel?
I upgraded several machines and some failed to boot 2.6.35, they just hang after grub starts loading the kernel. Some of these I managed to fix by comparing kernel configs with working machines, others dont work at all. The worst case is one where Ive upgraded udev to the latest which only works with kernels 2.6.25 or higher, and the last working kernel on that machine is 2.6.24 (grr!). Wondering if I can download a binary package of udev-149 from somewhere (or can I build it on another machine in a sandbox and package it with quickpkg?). Im kind of under pressure to fix this box but dont have udev-149 on any other machine available :-( That'll teach me to upgrade to the latest and greatest too fast... -- A

Some of these I managed to fix by comparing kernel configs with working machines... What kernel config items did you change to fix those broken machines? The two main ones seemed to be disabling the deprecated ATA drivers and another one was disabling some sysfs options. But these changes didn't help in this case. At this point, I think Im better off sticking to the older kernel until I figure this out properly so Ive focussed my efforts on getting that working. I have since booted off a recent boot CD, mounted the RAID partitions and tried downgrading udev so I can maybe boot the older kernel. This didn't work since the LiveCD is newer than the original CD I used to build this box, and the naming conventions for RAID devices seems to have changed (and building udev from a LiveCD means Im using newer /proc and /dev!). The older kernel loads but then says my root device doens't exist. Under the old scheme I specified /dev/md1 as my root in grub.conf but since this doesn't exist the boot fails. In trying to fix this I see that the LiveCD uses the following device files for the RAID partitions: /dev/md123 /dev/md124 /dev/md125 /dev/md126. Should I be using those in grub.conf now? -- A

If you updated from 2.6.34 or even 33, then there shouldn't be a problem; make oldconfig should have worked OK and presented new/changed config options in a sane way. On this particular box I was updating from 2.6.24 to 2.6.35 and I always use 'make silentoldconfig' when upgrading. -- A

I've been on and off it all week long, but as of last night, DNS didn't seem to work for it. Network connectivity worked, because not only could I ssh *in*, but I could also contact the outside network as long as I used something in the hosts file or an IP address. Adding more (known good) DNS servers to /etc/resolv.conf doesn't seem to help. DNS was working recently, and I haven't changed anything since then. A reboot didn't help (I would have just stopped started networking... but, well, all I have is ssh, so...). One very weird thing is that it can apparently send mail to outside network addresses. It could send to my gmail account fine last night, though it seemed to take a while (20 minutes or so, when normally it's instantaneous). I don't have gmail or google in my /etc/hosts.

This file is also reloaded as necessary. Avoid direct modifications to this. Is this explanation correct? Did I miss something or get something confused. I could not really find any documentation on this, so much was inference from various linux sites, some very old, and a few gentoo specific sites. Not much to it. Make your rules and use /etc/init.d/iptables save to save 'em. When you restart iptables it will automatically load them from /var/lib/iptables/rules-save if it finds that file. Assuming this is correct, I have seen many command line options and differing recommendations on how to modify the rules and when to save them out and to what file. Any details one can provide, that are gentoo specific, are most welcome. None of these are Gentoo specific (there aren't any Gentoo specifics in iptables AFAIK). Some notes: I wrote all the rules out by hand and tested them. Any tweaks I did directly on the command line. Bear in mind that the order of the rules is pretty important (I use the --line-numbers option so you know what line numbers to insert/delete after when changing the ordering of rules, i.e. iptables -L -n --line-numbers). Obviously you'll be doing this from the console directly. I broke rules down into various groups that I separated out into chains. So the first chain (called SCRUB) gets rid of obvious bogus packets (like packets from 192.168.x.x etc etc). Another chain is called BANNED (for obvious reasons). And so on. When working with chains its easier to make the chain and rules first and then activate them by adding a rule to the INPUT chain to send all packets through it, e.g. iptables -A INPUT -j SCRUB Dont forget to set default policies for your chains. Often its better to start with a completely locked down machine and add rules for those ports you want to open. Make use of of the state module if you can (it understands FTP, IRC and a few other protocols) which makes it trivial to write state tracking rules. If you iptables extensions are built as modules (not recommended - if one fails to load you might compromise security) then make sure they are loaded - some rules do NOT load the corresponding modules automatically so beware.
