Re: ipfw ruleset question
Sounds like your spam-blocking rules include some packet-accepting rules. What does the ruleset look like? 100 divert natd all from any to any via ext_if rules from 150 to 500 are blocking rules for my firewall rules from 1000 and up are for my clients. My natd runs as 1:1 nat. what I need is: rules from 100 to 499 for blocking spam 500 divert natd all from any to any via ext_if and the rest is not important... I would like not all packets sending to nat, it some kind of disabling spam, and so on.. Have got any idea ?

Re: ICP Vortex GDT8514RZ: RAID 4 and 5 cause freeze
Hallo [EMAIL PROTECTED], that was my first post about the problem: IBM xSeries 345 freezes after 15 min. (4.8, 5.0, 5.1, current). I can't believe it, the Vortex SCSI controller is the problem. RAID 0, 1, 10 runs perfect, RAID 4 and 5 (which I need) kills my server after 15 min. That's hard, because this is the 2. controller which will not run with FreeBSD Do you use the buildin driver from FreeBSD iir? Have you deactivated the kernal module iir or icp?

HDDs dividing rules
Hi all, please, could you explain for those of us, who are new to Unix, are there some rules for partitioning of HDDs in accordance to security needs ? I know, I can set nosuid+noexec on whole partition (slice ?), I can mount something as read-only... It's everything fine, but what exactly should we do ? Everywhere I looked, I found only words as make your own choice of partitioning schema etc., but I think, there must be some rules. And what if I have an HW RAID controller. Are there some difficulties or differences from normal dividing ? Tell us, please, something like Divide your HDD as follows: 1. create slices for /, /home, /etc .. It's good because 2. mount / as RO.. 3. mount /user as noexec+nosuid... I think hope these rules are well-known, but one must know where to look for I also hope, this list could be such kind of brainstorming :-)) One of the best things on Unixes is they are opened. But one of the worst thing on Unixes is they are opened and it is not simple to get very clear information. Sorry for the trying a philosophy here :-)) Best regards and many thanks.

RE: HDDs dividing rules
Behalf Of Peter Rosa said: Hi all, Everywhere I looked, I found only words as make your own choice of partitioning schema etc., but I think, there must be some rules. How you define your partitions and what mount flags you use is very much dependant on what you're using the box for. Only you can make this descision. And what if I have an HW RAID controller. Are there some difficulties or differences from normal dividing ? Nope. Tell us, please, something like Divide your HDD as follows: 1. create slices for /, /home, /etc .. It's good because Making a slice for /etc is a 'bad' idea. Kernel can't read all the rc scripts if they're not on root slice - not to mention /etc/fstab (thus not being able to find any other slices to mount). 2. mount / as RO.. This will do a pretty good job of making it impossible for anyone to change their pass (as /etc has to be on root slice) 3. mount /user as noexec+nosuid... If by this you mean /usr, this will break just about every application on the system (most binaries that aren't essential to core system live in /usr/(s)bin (or /usr/local/(s)bin if you install stuff yourself). A lot of these need to be suid/sgid too. I think hope these rules are well-known, but one must know where to look for Nope. Every box I setup has different slice schemes - its very dependant on the usage. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Does the last comment mean that you can provide at least one example of

Otherwise, what does more common mean in the context of zero examples?
If you want real world examples you can trawl through the mailing list
archives. I am sure you can find at least a few examples if you look
hard enough. (Searching through list archives is not so fun that I will
do it myself unless there is something that *I* want to know.)
A somewhat contrived example that behaves differently when compiled
with -O3 or when compiled with -O2 or lower optimization follows:
static int f(int a)
{
return a/0;
}
int main(void)
{
int x;
x = f(5);
return 0;
}
Compiling this with -O2 or lower and running the program will result
in the program crashing. Compiled with -O3 the program just exits
cleanly. (FreeBSD 4.8-stable ; gcc 2.95.4)
(The code compiles just fine withouth warnings in either case even when
compiled with -ansi -pedantic -Wall)
Since there is a bug (division by zero) in the program that invokes
undefined behaviour either result is perfectly acceptable, and the
difference is not due to a bug in gcc, but due to a bug in my program.
(The reason for the different behaviour is that -O3 turns on inlining of
functions, and when the call to f() has been inlined gcc is able to
determine that the call has no side-effects that need to be preserved,
and since the result of the call is never used after being assigned to
x the whole line 'x = f(5);' can safely be removed.
When compiled with -O2 or lower the compiler is not able to determine
that the call to f() can be omitted and therefore f() will be called.)

...and makes it so that -O2, -O3, etc does not enable GCSE optimization.

Printing Trouble
I'm a Linux person trying out FreeBSD for the first time. I just installed 5.1. Most things work pretty well so far, but I can't get the print system to work right. I can print plain text files, but I can't print web pages or .ps files. My printer is a HP DeskJet 694C. I have a file called /usr/local/libexec/if-ps, which is an exact copy of the one listed (called ifhp) in the FreeBSD Handbook. The only difference is that I replaced djet500 with cdj670. (I tried other choices also.) When I try to print a web page or a .ps file, nothing happens. I know that lpr is seeing my if-ps file because when I put echo test into it, test gets printed.

What you say is so obviously correct that one should instead conclude that my
use of the term 'behavior' with regard to compiler optimizations has a more
specific meaning.
Page 586 of _Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools_ states:
First, a transformation must preserve the meaning of programs. That is, an
optimization must not change the output produced by a program for a given
input, or cause an error, such as a division by zero, that was not present in
the original program. The influence of this criterion prevades this chapter; at
all times we take the safe approach of missing an opportunity to apply a
transformation rather than risk changing what the program does.
--
Like your divide-by-zero example above, or this paragraph about semantics vs
meaning, I'm not going to disagree if you want to state that the running time
of a program is part of the behavior. However, using the terms in such a
fashion precludes you from understanding the intended meaning in this particular
context.

That wasn't my real point anyway. I was trying to refute your statement
that Even if the code contains a bug, cc -O and cc -O -fgcse

I claim that if the code has a bug that results in undefined behaviour
then the compiler is allowed to produce different results when invoked
with different optimization flags.
For buggy code that invokes undefined behaviour (divison by
zero, accessing unallocated memory, etc.) there is no semantics to
preserve and therefore the compiled code may well produce different
results when compiled with different flags.
C code that permits a divide-by-zero condition will result in a runtime

It hasn't any semantics to preserve. There is no guarantee that a
division-by-zero will result in a runtime error. The C standard defines
what the semantics (or meaning if you prefer) of a C programs is. For
code that executes an integer division-by-zero it is not defined what
the program should do. Therefore *any* result that occurs from running
the code is conforming to the standard.
If you believe differently please tell me what that program *should* do
when run. (Without making any assumptions about which compiler, OS or
hardware is being used.)
code was using floating point, IEEE 754 defines semantics for
divide-by-zero one could also have an 'Infinity' result, but that's not
available with ints; your code results in a SIGFPE being generated.
My code results in a SIGFPE when compiled with gcc on FreeBSD using a
certain set of flags. I am sure that if you try it with other
compilers, or on other operating systems you will see different
results.
(If you were to run it under AmigaOS, for example, you would probably
get a system crash with an error code indicating an integer
division-by-zero. Other systems might well just ignore such a division.)
Programs that have undefined behaviour will very often behave
differently when compiled with different compilers, so the fact that
one compiler invoked with different flags will give different results
is not surprising.
(Undefined behaviour in the context of the C standard means the
compiler is allowed to do whatever it damn well pleases, including, but
not limited to, doing what you wanted and expected it to do, formatting

Of course it doesn't preclude that, but few implementations actually
does define what the behaviour will be for such cases, and code
depending on such implementation-specific behaviour is highly
non-portable anyway.
If there exists any lexically correct input source code (ie, which parses

Re: HDDs dividing rules
Hi,
Hi all,
please, could you explain for those of us, who are new to Unix,
are there some rules for partitioning of HDDs in accordance to
security needs ? I know, I can set nosuid+noexec on whole
partition (slice ?), I can mount something as read-only...
It's everything fine, but what exactly should we do ?
There are no specific rules on how you divide up your disk.
It really depends on how you will use the system. What you
need for a system only you will log in to is vastly different
from what is needed for a web site server. And that is completely
different from what you need for a system where you provide
accounts for users to log in. Plus partition sizes will depend
some on how much disk you have available.
As for security settings and procedures, the same is pretty much true.
But for each there are some minimal good ideas.
Just a note first: You seem to express a little confusion about
partition vs slice. That is a frequent problem because the
Microsoft does not follow the UNIX terminology. FreeBSD UNIX
has slices that are subdivided in to partitions. MS uses the
word partition to mean the same thing a UNIX slice then comes up
with an 'extended partition' scheme for other divisions.
Each disk can be divided in to as many as 4 main slices. Each
disk can have a Master Boot Record (MBR) that manages the boot process -
mainly allowing you to select which slice to boot from. Each slice
can have a boot block and be considered bootable. The MBR selects
a slice and transfers control to the boot block (also called a boot
loader) on the slice to continue booting.
Each UNIX slice can be divided in to as many as 8 partitions.
These subdivisions called partitions are what get mounted as
such things as '/' '/tmp' '/home' etc.
If you have two disks, each can have 4 slices and each slice can
officially have 8 partitions.
One additional note, though. By convention and expected in some
programs, some of the partitons have special uses. The '/' file
system must be an 'a' partition on a bootable slice (although the 'a'
partition doesn't have to be mounted as '/' if the slice is not the
one being booted), the 'b' partition on any slice is used for swap,
the 'c' partition is used to identify the whole slice and is otherwise
unused, the 'd' partition used to have a designated use, which now
seems to be defunct, so the 'd' partition is unused and finally
the 'e' partition is often used for '/tmp', but doesn't have to be.
So, although it is possible to divide the slice in to 8 partitions,
some of the labels ('b', 'c', 'd') are not really available making
an effective 5 partitions and on a bootable slice 'a' needs to
be root.
When you partition your FreeBSD disk slice[s] you need to make
a root file system that is large enough to hold everything
needed for bringing up the system before other stuff is mounted
and running. There is a lot of dissagreement on how much is
right because it depends a lot on what you include and what you
farm out to other file systems (partitions). You can probably
make a root system with as little as 50 - 100 MBytes if you put
most everything somewhere else. I am a little less hard core and
make one about 350 MBytes and only put /var, /usr/local and /usr/ports
somewhere else. But, convenience rates a little higher than super
maximum performance for most of my machines.
Secondly, you need some swap space. The convention is that it
should be 2 to 2-1/2 times the size of your ram, but people are
rethinking a little with the much bigger memory sizes we have nowdays.
Third, you need some tmp space. Some people put that inside some
other partition. I make a /tmp file system for it with size depending
on types of use, running from 200 MBytes to around 500 MBytes. At
least you do NOT want this to be in the roo partition because it can
suddenly grow and cause trouble with root. Plus, it must be
writable by any process that uses the machine.
Then you need some place for other things that grow such as /var.
user home directories, /usr/local and maybe /usr/ports and maybe
even /usr/src.
People treat these in different ways - sometimes making separate
partitions (File systems) for them or putting them in some big
file system and making links.The way I do it is to make
partitions for '/', '/swap', '/tmp' and a very large '/home'.
Generally '/home' takes up all the rest of the space.
Some people make that very large partition be the /usr file system
and put their user home diretories in there (typically in /usr/home).
Some even make a '/user' file system in addition to '/usr' but
that is entirely tooo messy for me.
I put all user home directories, plus /var, /usr.local, /usr/src
and /usr/ports in to it with soft links to them. That way they
can grow up to the size of /home for a short while if needed and
it gives me time to notice and whack down whatever is growing too
fast for some reason (whack down can mean fixing a

I'm appending a section from The Complete FreeBSD which goes into some detail about this question. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply or reply to the original recipients. For more information, see http://www.lemis.com/questions.html See complete headers for address and phone numbers Defining file systems _ The next step is to tell the installation program what to put in your FreeBSD partition. First, we'll look at the simple case of installing FreeBSD by itself. On page 75 we'll look at what differences there are when installing alongside another operating system on the same disk. When you select Label, you get the screen shown in Figure 5-8. [Omitting PostScript image images/disk-label-0-a.ps 4i ] Figure 5-8: Label editor menu What partitions? In this example, you have 20 GB of space to divide up. How should you do it? You don't have to worry about this issue, since sysinstall can do it for you, but we'll see below why this might not be the best choice. In this section we'll consider how UNIX file systems have changed over the years, and we'll look at the issues in file system layout nowadays. When UNIX was young, disks were tiny. At the time of the third edition of UNIX, in 1972, the root file system was on a Digital RF-11, a fixed head disk with 512 kB. The system was growing, and it was no longer possible to keep the entire system on this disk, so a second file system became essential. It was mounted on a Digital RK03 with 2 MB of storage. To quote from a paper published in the Communications of the ACM in July 1974: In our installation, for example, the root directory resides on the fixed-head disk, and the large disk drive, which contains user's files, is mounted by the system initialization program... As time went on, UNIX got bigger, but so did the disks. By the early 80s, disks were large enough to put / and /usr on the same disk, and it would have been possible to merge / and /usr, but they didn't, mainly because of reliability concerns. Since that time, an additional file system, /var, has come into common use for frequently changed data, and just recently sysinstall has been changed to create a /tmp file system by default. This is what sysinstall does if you ask it to partition automatically: [Omitting PostScript image images/disk-label-default.1.ps 4i ] Figure 5-9: Default file system sizes It's relatively simple to estimate the size of the root file system, and sysinstall's value of 128 MB is reasonable. But what about /var and /tmp? Is 256 MB too much or too little? In fact, both file systems put together would be lost in the 18.7 GB of /usr file system. Why are things still this way? Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages: o If you write to a file system and the system crashes before all the data can be written to disk, the data integrity of that file system can be severely compromised. For performance reasons, the system doesn't write everything to disk immediately, so there's quite a reasonable chance of this happening. o If you have a crash and lose the root file system, recovery can be difficult. o If a file system fills up, it can cause lots of trouble. Most messages about file systems on the FreeBSD-questions mailing list are complaining about file systems filling up. If you have a large number of small file systems, the chances are higher that one will fill up while space remains on another. o On the other hand, some file systems are more important than others. If the /var file system fills up (due to overly active logging, for example), you may not worry too much. If your root file system fills up, you could have serious problems. o In single-user mode, only the root file system is mounted. With the classical layout, this means that the only programs you can run are those in /bin and /sbin. To run other programs, you must first mount the file system on which they are located. o It's nice to keep your personal files separate from the system files. That way you can upgrade a system much more easily. o It's very difficult to estimate in advance the size needs of some file systems. For example, on some systems /var can be very small, maybe only 2 or 3 MB. It's hardly worth making a separate file system for that much data. On the other hand, other systems, such as

Freebsd 5.1 3c589-TP pcmcia issues.
Lo all, I've been trying to install 5.1 on my 486/75 28M no cdrom drive lappy unsuccessfully now for about 2 days (total time). Apparently debian, openbsd and freebsd 4.8 all find it and can play nice tho 5.1 can't seem to manage it. I recorded all the resource settings used in the operational freebsd 4.8 install and used these identical settings in my 5.1 install however they don't work. I've been trying to modify device.hints on the install floppy to feed the kernel the proper resource settings to get the nic going, however I've found the lack of documentation on this file to be somewhat disturbing. I read everything concering pcmcia and nics that I've been able to get my hands on related to my install (handbook/docs that came with the release/google/etc). According to the hardware.txt it says that the ep(4) driver is the appropriate driver for my card, although when making google searches for hints.ep nothing turns up and apparently its been left outta the options of the install floppy. Heres my current devices.hints file I've tried almost every possible combination disabling/enabling and resources under the sun. The best I can seem to manage is ep0 at port 0x240 iomem 0xd irq 9 on isa0 ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. ep0: ep_alloc() failed!

So you are on a shared server (as opposed to single/dedicated one)... The only security measures this company took was that you could not 'ls' up to other people's account Could it be that you are in a jail and/or is the default umask, thus default permissions, rather restrictive (say 077, than open 022)? I know that if you know the directory structure you can open anyone's script and look into the content which could reveal a password and the logic of their code. Who would store a password in the code if security is of any concern? Otherwise, what is wrong w/ otherwise public files to be available to your fellow hostmates? BTW (re-)read chmod(1) if you have not already. On top of that, locate-database has all the directory structure, which is available to anybody. According to locate(1) (4.8-Release), it does not create entries for files that are publicly unreadable. So, a couple of things I tried to do, which weren't successful. I took away permission from others by chmod 740. (OP was unable to change membership wrt 'nobody' group.) The only solution I see is ask their admin to put nobody user to my group. Or to have some sort of ACL, so I can explicitly grant permission to nobody user. It seems from your actions that you think you have powers to change groups willy-nilly.

On the first day, I discovered that I had to make my files publicly available so that Apache could pick up my scripts and run them, which I definitely thought it was not good idea. The only security measures this company took was that you could not 'ls' up to other people's account, but I know that if you know the directory structure you can open anyone's script and look into the content which could reveal a password and the logic of their code. On top of that, locate-database has all the directory structure, which is available to anybody. snip One file permission security model for shared hosting is as follows: Every untrusted user (is there any other!) is added to a common group - say 'users'. Importantly, the user that the webserver runs as - say 'www' - is NOT a member of the 'users' group. The hosting company would then make sure that group permissions on the home directory of each user - say /home/bob for user 'bob' - are set to 705 recursively. This means: - user bob has read write and execute perms on /home/bob as you would expect - anyone in the 'users' group - ie all untrusted users - do NOT have read, write or execute perms on /home/bob and so cannot get a listing of any files under /home/bob - the 'www' user however does have read and execute access to files in bob's public html directory, say /home/bob/public_html and so the webserver can serve up those files as needed. This is a very over-simplified description - there are often log directories or ftp directories or mail directories whose permissions are set to accommodate those services. CGI scripting also complicates matters. With the above model all a malicious (or otherwise) user would have to do to access files in other home directories would be to create a script to display all 'interesting' files in other user's home directories. Something as simple as: ?php $find=`find /home -iname *config*`; print $find; ? for example in PHP would be a start to working out where juicy configuration files that might contain user/password pairs live. If there are no extra httpd side precautions in place, the above security model is pretty useless, since the www user has read/execute access to all /home/user directories and so can execute an operation like the find command above with impunity. Precautions against this type of action commonly include running CGI scripts under the effective user id (EUID) of the owner of the script and in a similar way with PHP, checking that the owner/group of the target files match that of the script being run (using open_basedir and safe_mode amongst other PHP config options). Some things to check then: try running the pwd command - if you see something like /home/user/foo/bar then you're not chrooted. Also try running the id command. See what group(s) you're in and then try 'ls -ld ~' to see what the file permissions are on your home directory. It might be the case your provider is implementing something along the lines of the above. -- Jez http://www.munk.nu/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
