Re: Web Root Directory
On Sun, Oct 13, 2002 at 09:59:49PM -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Where should Apache web root directory be for users? By default, the web root is /usr/local/www/data --- for a freshly installed port that's linked to /usr/local/www/data-dist which contains the default apache website. You're meant to break that link and provide your own stuff in /usr/local/www/data. However, I guess that what you are really asking is about the configuration of user web directories: eg. http://www.foo.com/~user/ That's controlled by the UserDir directive in httpd.conf. The default value is 'public_html', so your users should just create a ~/public_html directory and put their web content into it.

Gnome does not turn on with startx on user account anymore
Hi, Starting today, when I do a startx on my user account the gui turns on to the point of a deep blue color screen with an X for a mouse pointer and that is it. Nothing else loads or is on the screen. No controls either and had to recycle the power and use the root account to use my browser and write this message. Any logs that I can look at that will give me a clue as to what is going on or does anyone have an idea as to what is going on? You may recall that I also have another thread on this mailing list that states that I was using an msdos formatted floppy and forgot to umount it before turning my machine off one time and now when I try to mount the floppy with a mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy I get the error msg msdos: /dev/fd0: Device not configured Not sure if the two are connected, but even when I am logged in as root as I am now I still get the same msg. But my biggest problem now is this gnome problem. Thanks for your help on figuring out what the heck is going on. Wayne __ Do you Yahoo!?

RE: Running ipfw from a webpage/using php.
Typically PHP runs as www (or nobody). You will have to give ipfw root exec premission (forgot what is is called, but mode 1755 and owner root) or use sudo.

mount issues
i would like to mount an ext2fs partition writable for at least one user, same with a few msdos partitions. FreeBSD's /etc/fstab apparently does not support a user option to allow users to mount file systems - neither does the mount command setting the user id to someone else than root as far as i can tell. how can i achieve write permissions for a non-privileged user there? regards, wolfgang To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Good candidates are /usr/local /usr/ports /usr/src and /usr/share tar up those directories and put them in your infinitely expandable disk/partition and make sym links. We do that on all of our systems. Name the directories in the big partition something that makes it obvious where they came from. Example, we move /usr/local to /home and call it usr.local (eg /home/usr.local and the link command, done from within /usr is: ln -s /home/usr.local local It works fine. jerry thanks, Kirk -- Kirk R.

Random panic and reboot

asr0: Blink LED 0x3 resetting adapter adaptec 2100S
Hi I run an adadptec 2100S. Today it displayed the following message, and while the system was still running and pingable, you couldn't do anything include login. asr0: Blink LED 0x3 resetting adapter Resetting the machine and going into the onboard ROM SMOR adaptec manager on the card, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. All of the disks and volumes were optimal and no errors were reported on card. I looked through both the mailist archives, in the adaptec manuals, and the adaptec site to see if there was any sort of similar message listed, but I found no info. Anyone know what this means? I looked at the list of LEDs, wondering if 0x3 meant LED #3, but that does not make sense, as that is 3 Indicates the controllers internal operating system is in its idle loop. Thanks for any help. I have had some random freezeups on the machine, off an on, most recently an hour or two before this adapter reset happened, and I was wondering if they are related. BY random freezeups, I mean hard freeze on the machine. I had one this morning, two weeks ago, and 99 days before that. But this message about the reset adapter did not hard freeze the machine. I just think they might be related, like maybe the RAM module on the adapter is flaky or something.

Caching namesever in sandbox not resolving local boxes
Hi, I thought I had this one licked, but I may have ommited some step that I'd like to get some info on, please. I've got named configured as a caching nameserver in a sandbox on my gateway as per the Handbook. However when I run nslookup on other machines on my network, I get this: # nslookup lan box Server: upstream NS Address: upstream NS IP *** upstream NS can't find lan box: Non-existent host/domain # I have the lan box in /etc/hosts and my domain included at the top of /etc/resolv.conf. I'm thinking that I can't resolve any other hosts on my network because I've not got entries for them in a zone file, but then the handbook says that to create a caching nameserver: A caching name server is a name server that is not authoritative for any zones. It simply asks queries of its own, and remembers them for later use. To set one up, just configure the name server as usual, omitting any inclusions of zones. So, am I missing something here. I might well be mistaken in my understanding of exactly *what* a caching nameserver is supposed to do. Running nslookup on the g'way itself by name resolves to my external IP address, for the record, though. I'm willing to post my named.conf file and any others that might prove helpful to anyone willing to help. Not sure what will be of use at this point, so do let me know, please.

What I do here is run mpd set up for pptp. If you install the mpd port, it comes with sample config files, including sections of an example pptp setup. This has worked well for me. You don't use IPSEC with it, it has it's own encryption. PPTP uses a packet type called GRE. Some firewalls don't understand GRE packets. I had that problem with ipfw.

Correct group. If nobody helps here, then you can usually ask on
about 4.x on freebsd-stable without getting complaints (say you asked
here first). But in this case it's highly likely that the problem's
at your end.
After composing the above, I downloaded the mini 4.7 iso, burnt a disk,
and once again the boot process stops at text=0x2833b1 !
Sounds to me like a new problem with your CD burning software or
hardware. I'm not familiar with that error message but I suspect
that the CD is booting well until it gets to the same point on the
disks. You might try upgrading or reinstalling your burning software.
And check the CD by getting an MD5 of the CD or doing on a bit-by-bit
compare with the ISO on your hard disk. It can be a bit tricky as
burncd seems to put and extra block or something on the CD than is in
the ISO file. Here's my script for the bit-compare which you could also
modify to do the MD5 thing. You can probably change it to use sh.
#!/bin/ksh
## This is /jojo/bin/ckisocd

## This compares the file named by the first argument to the beginning of the CD.

Hi Ceri, Thanks for getting back to me (Nick as well!), and sorry about the top-post for this one.

Upgrading Xfree86 and /stand
I am tracking stable, and I have two questions about upgrading via cvsup
and the {build,install}{world,kernel} method.
1) How do I upgrade Xfree86 to 4.2.x?My XFree is still 3.3.6.
2) How do I upgrade all the files in /stand. Only sysinstall gets
upgraded when I follow the handbook instructions.
Thank you.

# 1) How do I upgrade Xfree86 to 4.2.x?My XFree is still 3.3.6.
There are two ways you can install XFree86 4.2.x on your machine, one is
by downloading the binaries for 4.2.0 plus the update binary package for
4.2.1 from XFree86.org:
4.2.0 for FreeBSD 4.x:
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.2.0/binaries/FreeBSD-4.x/
4.2.1 Update for FreeBSD 4.x (requires 4.2.0):
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.2.1/binaries/FreeBSD-4.x/
Just pull down all of the files for 4.2.0, read the Install file for
installation directions and notes, configure your video card and make
sure it works, then pull down the files for the 4.2.1 update, and then
follow the directions the Install file.
The second option is to install it using Ports or Packages, though it
seems that some of the ports still carry the 4.2.0 version tag.
Most likely, you will need to reinstall all ports and packages that
depend on XFree86 so that it picks up the new version and libraries. The
latest version of FreeBSD will default to XFree86 4.x... you may want to
check the /etc/defaults/make.conf file to see what it thinks the default
XFree86 version is. Change it if necessary.
# 2) How do I upgrade all the files in /stand. Only sysinstall gets
# upgraded when I follow the handbook instructions.
All of the other files in /stand are hard-linked to the sysinstall
binary according to the following excerpt from the Handbook:
For the sake of completeness, you may want to update the files in /stand
as well. These files consist of hard links to the /stand/sysinstall
binary. This binary should be statically linked, so that it can work
when no other filesystems (and in particular /usr) have been mounted.
# cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall
# make all install

Not yet, but you're 90% of the way there.
You mentioned that it'd be better to explain what I would like to
achieve: I'd like to have a named set-up that allows me to host DNS
information for my private lan, but also one that facilitates name
resolution of external hosts (via my ISP's upstream NS's).
OK, that's cool - you've already done the second bit, just point your
internal hosts to the nameserver that you've already set up.
What I did was literally follow the handbook with respect to even the
naming convention used, so that /etc/namedb has this:
snip - I'm familiar with this for some reason or other ;)
..., and the only zone file I have at the moment is a copy of that
suggested in the handbook:
snip localhost. zone
What I'd appreciate is information on whether or not I can adjust my
bind set-up so as to achieve my intentions from where I am at the
moment.
Yup, for sure you can - all you need to do is add a zone.
Here you've got a decision to make - what domain name are you going to use
internally ? I use submonkey.net for all my hosts that are on the Internet
proper, and private.submonkey.net for machines that are on the internal LAN.
I'm going to assume you want to do the same, and for the purpose of this
discussion that the domain name you'll be using is example.com (although
if a submonkey.net slips in to the example below, then it's just because
I've cutnpasted and have missed one, so mentally substitute example.com).
In named.conf, you're going to want to add a zone statement for the zone
private.example.com (note that there is no need for you to advise anyone
responsible for the DNS for example.com for this to work properly, unless
you want people to get at hosts in private.example.com) :
In named.conf :
zone private.example.com in {
type master;
file master/private.example.com.db;
allow-query{ 127/8; 192.168.10/24; };
};
Then create the file ${NAMED_ROOT}/master/private.example.com.db containing
[note that my time-to-live, expire, etc. are quite large, as this network is
pretty much static] all your host information :
$TTL 864000
$ORIGIN example.com.
private IN SOA amam.private.example.com. root.example.com. (
2002032302 43200 3600 604800 172800 )
IN NS amam.private.example.com.
IN NS rhadamanth.private.example.com.
$ORIGIN private.example.com.
rhadamanth IN A 192.168.10.1
hoatzin IN A 192.168.10.3
amamIN A 192.168.10.5
test-router IN A 192.168.10.254
www-cache IN CNAME rhadamanth
www IN CNAME amam
tftpIN CNAME amam
ftp IN CNAME amam
newsIN CNAME news.cable.ntlworld.com.
Now reload named, and assuming that you've not made any errors in the above
files (check /var/log/messages) then your forward DNS now works for hosts on
your LAN.
If you want reverse DNS working as well, then add this zone statement to
named.conf (modify for your RFC 1918 network(s)) :
zone 10.168.192.in-addr.arpa in {
type master;
file master/192.168.10.db;
allow-query{ 127/8; 192.168.10/24; };
};
Then in ${NAMED_ROOT}/master/192.168.10.db :
$TTL 864000
$ORIGIN 168.192.in-addr.arpa.
10 IN SOA amam.private.example.com. root.example.com. (
2002032300 43200 3600 604800 172800 )
IN NS amam.private.example.com.
IN NS rhadamanth.private.example.com.
$ORIGIN 10.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
1 IN PTR rhadamanth.private.example.com.
3 IN PTR hoatzin.private.example.com.
5 IN PTR amam.private.example.com.
254 IN PTR test-router.private.example.com.
Job's a good 'un.
Thanks so much for taking the time (both of you).
No problem.
If you need any more help on this, then let me know (and if others on the
list are getting bored, please say so and we'll take this to private mail).

1) How do I upgrade Xfree86 to 4.2.x?My XFree is still 3.3.6.
The best method is to delete XFree86-3.3.6 and all the packages that
depend on it, then build and install XFree86-4.2.0 and then rebuild
and install all the dependent packages again.
First make good backups of /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11, just in case it
all goes horribly wrong and you need to revert your changes.
Next generate a list of all of the ports that depend on XFree86-3:
pkg_info -R XFree86-\* /tmp/x-packages
vi /tmp/x-packages [ delete any extraneous stuff and any
mention of XFree86-3.3.6 specific
packages]
Then to do the deletion. It's easy if you've got the portupgrade
package installed:
pkg_deinstall -r XFree86-\*
Then you can change the /etc/make.conf setting to say you're now going
to use XFree86-4.2.x:
XFREE86_VERSION=4
Then re-install all the dependency packages:
xargs portinstall -RrN /tmp/x-packages
This will involve quite a lot of compilation, especially if you've got
much in the way of gnome or kde stuff installed.
Then you'll have to generate a new XF86Config file and redo things
like the xdm(1) setup and all the other bits of customization you
require. Almost all of the X configuration files -- with the glaring
exception of /etc/X11/XF86Config -- have moved from /etc/X11 to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 in the latest versions.
2) How do I upgrade all the files in /stand. Only sysinstall gets
upgraded when I follow the handbook instructions.
All of the binary files in /stand are actually hard linked together.
So the new sysinstall binary you've generated can be linked to sh,
gzip, ppp and so forth:
cd /stand
for f in `file -- * | grep ELF | grep -v sysinstall | sed -e 's,:.*$,,'` ;
do
rm -- $f
ln -- sysinstall $f
done
(All of the -- stuff is because of the '-sh' program, which tends to
get confused with command options other wise.) On my machine that
ends up with a link count of 32.
Cheers,
Matthew

I have downloaded 3 copies of 4.7 from different sites, and my Nero CD burning program gives the same error message on all 3. The resulting CDs are not bootable, and the kernel can not be read when the CDs are used as data disks. As a check I downloaded another copy of 4.6.2, and the resulting CD was perfect.

accept() doesn't pass back sockaddr
I am using on a web filter ( dansguardian.org ) and am having problems on FreeBSD (4.5-STABLE). The filter runs fine for about 20 minutes or so then can't seem to come up with the right ip addresses for any client machines. After much reading of man pages, Stevens, and some banging of my head against the desk I decided that maybe it wasn't me :) I found a PR that I think seems to relate (misc/34307) but this still confuses me. I would think that if the situation this PR describes were to be the case all sorts of things wouldn't be working right. I don't have a hope of fixing the PR, I can't even seem to find the source for accept(). Does anybody know of a better work around than closing the socket ( and loosing any backlog ) and re-opening it?. Thanks in advance.

The only way I can think of to achieve what you want -- logging every packet received by your machine -- is to use ipfw(8) and add the 'log' keyword to all appropriate rules. You'll need to have a lot of space in /var and bump up the net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit sysctl to some huge limit and run 'ipfw resetlog' at regular intervals (or ipfw(8) will quit logging packets --- that's a measure introduced to prevent the blackhats DoS'ing a machine by causing so many log messages to be generated it fills up the disk). You understand that if you make any significant use of networking on your machine, configuring ipfw(8) in that way will result in you being drowned in such a flood of log messages you probably won't be able to cope.

Re: Monitor IP Traffic from many BSD computers
If you intend to send the captured packets to the console host via the same interface they were captured from this will multipy the network load tremendously. And if you also have the console host do the same this too will likely cause your network to become overloaded sending the packets captures. I don't think this is a practical approuch. It may be practicle if you place a second NIC in each machine and create a second network only for sending the captures to the console host. This too is likely not the best solution. I would recommend that you find your self a switch with a more functional SPAN port, such as an old Cisco 2900. The Catalyst series SPAN ports are much more capable. I often dump all the traffic from any one of a number of VLANs from the 2900. But mind you if your network is heavily loaded your SPAN port wont have the bandwidth to keep up with the traffic. - Mike Hogsett I have a pool of bsd computers, connected together via an ethernet switch. I like to monitor the traffic that is exchanged between all the computers, and capture and display them on a console computer. Since I'm using a switch, I will not be able to see the traffic and also the switch is a 3com superstack II -3300 which can only monitor one port at a time, so that option is out also. I like to know how I can setup the pool of bsd computers, so that they send a copy of whatever packet they receive to the console computer so that I can capture and graph it using a utility like etherape. thanks for your help, ~koroush To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Network config for new install
Your hostname is simply the name of your computer. As any user, type hostname at the shell prompt and it will return the name the computer thinks it is (the FreeBSD default is Amnesiac). If, as root, you type hostname (without the quotation marks, of course), you make the hostname anything you like. If you want a new hostname to remain after reboot, you have to enter it into /etc/rc.conf For the Domain name, type in the static ip address that the DSL provider has assigned you. After you get up and running with network support, you can type: nslookup (the IP address you entered) and FreeBSD will return, usually*, the DNS equivalent of the IP address you entered. You can change the ip address Domain Name to the value that nslookup returns if you like, but its not really important to do. Tim Kellers CPE/NJIT * I say usually because some ISP's don't have true DNS entries assigned to their distributed IP addresses. It's somewhat rare, but it happens.

route settings in rc.conf - question, with details.
Hi, I have a system with IPs assigned from 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 Right now I have this in my rc.conf: defaultrouter=10.10.10.10 ifconfig_fxp0=inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_fxp0_alias0=inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig_fxp0_alias1=inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 So, as you can see I have one default route, and both /24s use that single 10.10.10.10 as the default router. But, because I have simply added the 192.168.1.1 IP as one more plain old alias, I now get this in my logs: /kernel: arplookup 10.10.10.10 failed: host is not on local network So, how do I add 192.168.1.1 as an alias, without adding another defaultrouter, since my current defaultrouter setting is already correct ? thanks! _ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Installing Packages Using Sysinstall?
Hello again everyone. I am trying to use the sysinstall utility to add packages. If I use the main server (ftp.freebsd.org) then I get a message saying that it can't find the 4.7-RC1 distribution on this server. When I set the options to any and then try it it says it can't find the /INDEX file on the specified server. Even when I put in the full path to ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.7-rc1/ as a url, it still can't find it. What am I doing wrong?

is that the function you search:
string exec ( string command [, array output [, int return_var]])
That will run as the UID of the webserver, usually www, which won't be
very useful for doing stuff with ipfw.
I'd grab sudo(8) or one of the alternatives from ports and very
carefully craft a /usr/local/etc/sudoers file that lets the www UID
run a specific ipfw command line without giving a password. Be very
careful not to let the www UID make arbitrary changes to your firewall
or you will discover the true meaning of pain in very short order.
Remember to add www to the wheel group if you go this way.
this is IMO a better solution:
#!/bin/sh
[ -f /some/file ] \
/your/command \
/bin/rm -f /some/file
/etc/crontab:
* * * * * root/your/script
in the php script:
touch('/some/file');

implement this. You're going to need it...
not necessarily. implementation dependent. :)
