All around system hang
(I mentioned this earlier on the newbies list, but I was informed it was more of a questions question) I have FreeBSD 5.1 installed on my box at home. Install worked smoothly the second time, we just kind of messed up because it had been awhile since my buddy installed his. Well anywho, it works... sorta. The thing is this: after a number of hours of non-use, the machine just quits responding. A movement of the mouse, a few key presses on the keyboard don't help. I restart the machine and it during the initial boot when I can access the BIOS, the input devices work fine. Once it reaches the bootloader, the keyboard doesn't respond. So I turn it off, unplug both keyboard and mouse (both of which are ps/2, btw) and then turn the machine back on. It works after that. However, after several hours of non-use, it does the same thing over again. I would consider myself an intermediate when using Linux (RedHat 5.x-7.x) and I've printed off the a good amount of the manual from the FreeBSD website. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A Juniper M160 can route OC192's at wire speed (That's 10Gb/s folks). However, the way those are set up, FreeBSD doesn't do the actual routing, as far as I can remember they upload a routing table to the line cards and transfer any changes to the routing table to the line cards, so the routing itself is done by high-speed hardware, and FreeBSD is mainly managing all the custom hardware. We did a similar thing when I worked for Ericsson with FreeBSD. ``Real Routing'' is usually not necessary on broadband connections since they use a single static route for everything outside the LAN. In fact, having things like RIP running around on an internal LAN can thoroughly confuse some things like the routed program on SCO OpenServer. The average broadband connection simply doesn't have the bandwidth to tax most PC architecture machines. Our first routers were MorningStar 501s, which were '386 based running some BSD clone from flash, and they handled a T1 adequately. Our current ``router'' is a PII 266 running Linux with a Sangoma WAN card connected to our T1. The load average is pretty constant at 0.00 with 99.2% idle time even though there are about 400 ipchains rules in play. If you're planning on using IPSec VPN tunnelling, then CPU power becomes important because it requires a fair amount of horsepower to handle then encryption. That said, we generally use the LinkSys BEFVP41 VPN boxes at customer DSL and Cable sites because they're simple, cheap, and easy to configure for the average user.

RE: /usr/local/etc/rc.d files not running on reboot
My machine crashed last night and upon reboot not all the services that are executable in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d ran. Any clues how I can find out why this happened? snip This happened to me on 4.8 recently too. What it ended up being was the sendmail-client startup thing. I'd replaced sendmail w/ postfix, but for some reason, this sendmail-client thing still tried to run, and since I wasn't running sendmail, it just sat there forever. If I ctrl-c'd on the console, it would proceed to run all the startup scripts. I haven't used sendmail in years, but I think this was meant to clear the queue out. I'm not sure if there is a rc.conf entry to stop it (didn't look close enough, but sendmail_enable=NO didn't do it). I just commented the sendmail-client stuff out. Its been a while so I don't remember exactly where this stuff was, but you can probably find it. Once I did that, everything ran again.

Yes -- the shell doesn't just accept any character. If you set your output to go to a file -- eg by: % cat foo then you can easily insert a £ character into the file, and it will display quite happily. The characters that you can successfully generate from the keyboard seem to be quite dependent on the application receiving them: I can type £ into emacs under X (as I just did), but I can't do likewise with emacs on the console. When I do login, all of the other characters do work, except the £ character. What -- even ß or þ or ã? I can't even generate those on the console (and I'm feeling too lazy to go an look up how right now) but they display well enough when I cat a file containing them.

4.5-STABLE crash and burn
Friends: I've got a serious situation here. I've got a 4.5-STABLE machine that boots with the following messages: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ar0s1a WARNING: / was not properly dismounted exec /sbin/init: error 20 exec /sbin/oinit: error 20 exec /sbin/init.bak: error 20 /stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0 As you can see it dumps me into sysinstall, which pops up with Cannot mount /tmp/.doc: read-only filesystem. So I start a holographic shell: # /sbin/mount -fuw / /sbin/mount: not found # ls /sbin ls: /sbin: Bad file descriptor So I start in single-user mode, which just dumps me back into sysinstall again. This is ~not~ good. Pretty much the heart of the business (database, DHCP, DNS and other important services) lives on this machine. So I would very much appreciate any help that anyone could offer, and of course, the sooner the better! -- Anthony Chavez http://www.anthonychavez.org/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: umask

In my way to learn security under FreeBSD, I was wondering if a umask of 066 in login.conf was a good or bad idea ? Any thoughs ? I mean at first, I can't seem to find why this could be wrong, but I'm sure there's a reason why the default umask is set to 022. 066 will be *more* secure than 022. This is because a umask is deducted from the default permission bits of 666 (or 777 for executables) on new files. So a umask of 022 will cause new files to have a mode of 600 or 711. Here are some good (and not-so-good) umasks, in order of least- to most-secure: * 000 (666 or 777 -- PLEASE DO NOT USE) * 022 (644 or 755 -- default) * 027 (640 or 750 -- pretty good) * 077 (600 or 700 -- most secure) Usually people don't do umasks with a 6 because this can leave *only* executable bits on some parts of the mode; this is not very useful. -- Josh Thanks in advance. - -- Antoine Jacoutot [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lphp.org PGP/GnuPG key: http://www.lphp.org/ressources/ajacoutot.asc -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/O5HQY3Hnhkr+5cQRArBzAJ0augtR1of8PZp4jES/0951LNtUZQCfQCjb go6GiRqK403T0rbU6fjhCdA= =pb9d -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes. But they won't run if the filesystem is marked ``clean''.
Why would you want to fsck a clean disk? During every boot???
Actually, what shutdown -F does is touch /forcefsck. (In a similar vein,
shutdown -f touches /fastboot). The rc scripts check this and add appropriate
flags to the invocation of fsck (or in the case of /fastboot don't invoke it).
You must be talking about another OS. FreeBSD's shutdown doesnt have -F or -f flag.
I was giving the example in Linux that the OP asked about, so they could implement
it under FBSD if they wanted. I said that in my mail, in the part you trimmed.
One would check for the existence of /forcefsck in the rc scripts and, if it was there,
run fsck *for that one boot* even if the filesystems were clean. Then /forcefsck would
be removed so it didn't happen on the next boot.
Shutdown *could* be patched to add an option for this if it was implemented in the rc
scripts.
Why one would want to do this, I don't know. But this was what the OP asked.

However, I'd really like to understand why the warning is being generated in the first place. /data/mail is the user directory to which mail is delivered by my IMAP server after it is moved from /var/mail/imap. a) There is no .forward file in /data/mail b) The permissions on the /data/mail directory are: drwx-- 4 imap wheel 512 Aug 5 10:00 . c) The permissions on the *parent* (/data) directory are: drwxrwxr-x 18 root staff 512 Aug 2 13:52 .. d) Permissions on /var/mail/USERNAME are: -rw--- 1 imap imap 0 Aug 5 10:03 imap e) Permissions on /var/mail are: drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 512 Aug 5 10:02 . f) And on /var are: drwxr-xr-x 23 root wheel 512 May 10 23:23 . Now, what's confusing to me is that if I remove the group writable attribute of /data, the messages go away. WTF? Why does sendmail care about the permissions of the *parent* directory? Is this because someone in the parent could alter or blow away the /data/mail directory? I'd think that, if anything, the problem would be the permissions on the /var/mail directory; but not only is that not where the warning references; tightening permissions in that area doesn't affect the warnings.

ipfw / natd does not allow lan traffic to reach external numbers
Hi, I have a problem with our firewall/NAT, on a FreeBSD 4.7 box... Here a list with some details: *) The FreeBSD box uses natd and ipfw, and have two external IP:s, lets say aaa.bbb.ccc.20 and ddd.eee.fff.21. *) natd is used to redirect access to external IP addresses and ports to internal LAN IP:s, for example 192.168.0.20 and 192.168.0.21, where for example webservers are located. *) natd rules: natd_flags=-redirect_address 192.168.0.20 aaa.bbb.ccc.20 -redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.21:25-52 25-52 -redirect_port udp 192.168.0.21:25-52 25-52 -redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.30:80 80 -redirect_port udp 192.168.0.30:80 80 -redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.21:54-79 54-79 -redirect_port udp 192.168.0.21:54-79 54-79 -redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.21:81-722 81-722 -redirect_port udp 192.168.0.21:81-722 81-722 -redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.21:3306-4559 3306-4559 -redirect_port udp 192.168.0.21:3306-4559 3306-4559 *) ipfw lets things through: 00050 divert 8668 ip from any to any via fxp0 00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00200 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 00300 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any 65000 allow ip from any to any 65535 allow ip from any to any Problem: Most things works just fine, external access are redirected to correct ports, and the webservers work just fine. BUT the problem comes when a box on the LAN tries to reach a site residing on 192.168.0.20 using the _external_ IP aaa.bbb.ccc.20. Then I get error: Unable to connect to remote host. Connecting from a LAN machine to the same site using the _internal_ IP works fine. Connecting to other external IPs also works fine. I want to be able to connect from LAN boxes to the external IP:s, for example aaa.bbb.ccc.20. Can anyone lead me on the way...? Very thankful for all comments on this matter.

Hi all,
Im kinda new to FreeBSD (running 4.5 RELEASE) and Im a
bit confused. Im hoping someone can help me understand
what I am doing incorrectly, or point me in a
direction where I can understand what is happening. As
you are all aware a security advisory was released
about realpath.
I have followed the instructions.
downloaded the patch. verified it.
ran patch path to patch
Did the patch apply cleanly? If there are any .rej files in the
vicinity, then they didn't
built KERNCONF
installed KERNCONF
The kernel is beside the point here: the bug is in the libc shared
library. As instructed you need to rebuild the world and reinstall.
Not just the kernel: viz
# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld buildkernel KERNCONF=foo
# make installkernel KERNCONF=foo
# shutdown -r now
[ Interrupt the boot process during the 10 second countdown by
pressing any key (other than return) to get to the boot loader
prompt.]
boot -s
[...various output. Hit return when prompted for the shell to use...]
# fsck -p
# swapon -a
# mount -a
# cd /usr/src
# make installworld
# mergemaster
# exit
After which the system will continue booting to full multi-user mode.
then i went and checked the UPDATING, the realpath.c
file and the newvers.sh file. According to the email
these files were meant to be corrected.
The timestamp on the UPDATING and newvers.sh have not
changed. and the realpath.c file indicates that it is
version 1.9 2000/01/27 instead of 1.9.8.1 as indicated
by the advisory.
Have I done something wrong? or missed the point? I
know i dont really understand it. If someone can
explain it to me or point me in the right direction it
would be very much appreciated.
OK. The patches
(ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-03:08/realpath.patch)
mentioned in the advisory
(ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03:08.realpath.asc)
won't alter the UPDATING or newvers.sh files -- as those are
essentially documentation and don't have any effect of the resulting
functionality of the system, that's nothing to worry about. The patch
only affects the realpath.c file, and in that case, it doesn't alter
the version number at the top of the file -- mostly because the patch
is designed to apply to files from a range of different code branches
and hence different version numbers.
In fact, the patch consists in it's entirety of a two line change to
the realpath.c file:
/tmp:% less realpath.patch
Index: lib/libc/stdlib/realpath.c
===
RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/lib/libc/stdlib/realpath.c,v

goto err1;
}
So, unless that patch was rejected, or you have not managed to
recompile and re-install everything, then you will have secured your
system against attack via any dynamically linked program that calls
realpath(1). As the advisory says, you do need to check for
statically linked programs that use realpath(1). There are none in the
base system, so it's a case of hunting for statically linked programs
installed via ports and re-installing those.
Other than by applying the patch manually as you have done, you could
have used cvsup(1) to update to the latest sources for whatever branch
you prefer. Even though the security branches before 4.7-RELEASE are
no longer officially supported, patches were applied to them. In that
case, you would see the updated version numbers on the various files
mentioned.
Note too that 4.5-RELEASE is itself no longer supported and fairly
long in the tooth. If the system is security critical then you would
be well advised to upgrade it to 4.8-RELEASE-pX as soon as may be:
mostly because you'll need to be able to update ports to counter any
security holes there, and it's not guarranteed that the latest
revisions of the ports system will actually work with older systems.

Re: I have bad sectors.....
If a modern hard drive begins to show bad sectors it generally indicates it is in its final death throws and it is better to just replace it and not try to make it limp along. Most modern drives reserve 'spare' sectors that are automatically used to replace bad sectors. You don't start seeing bad sector messages until those spare sectors are used up. So, that implies there there are already even more bad sectors on the drive than it is telling you about. So, don't try to be penny wise only to be dollar foolish. Get as much of your date as possible on some backup media and throw away the bad drive and get a nice big new one.

A *typical* American way of thinking. Hey guys, you're not gods. The world is larger than just the US. Al lot of ISP's in Holland allow to run servers on their dynamic space (IF you config them right, that is) I'm not American. Funny That.

It's just fucking wrong to cut these people off running decent servers, just because they can't (or are not willing) to affort a T1. Get DSL on non-Dynamic space. It's available, in fact that's what I'm on myself. From an ISP with major operations in Holland (Our European NOC is in Amsterdam) It's an easy statement to say you should relay through your ISP mailserver just because that is true in the States. Again: the world is larger than that. Don't exclude yourself pretending you control all. Never read a header? Most of that so called 'Hotmail' or 'AOL' spam doesn't come from either, it either comes from overseas or that 'Dynamic' space you're defending Fake hotmail adresses are easely blocked. See what I mean. They come from overseas.. Jesus, as if all bad things come from everyplace on earth except the states. Well, considering that Hotmail is an American based service, and the vast majority of faked Hotmail headers seem to come out of either dynamic space or Russian, Korean or Chinese space. Once again, read what I said. Faked Hotmail or AOL spam usually either comes from Dynamic IP space, or from foreign (Russian, Korean, Chinese) space. And since both are american-based services, this is a valid origination. If you've got a business connection and a 'Dynamic' IP, complain to your ISP. Blocking 'Dynamic' space and thus the multitude of idiots with exploited windoze boxes on their cable/DSL connection is quite effective, probably more than using spews (Which is notorious for blocking non-offenders) Ever wondered how many of these folks run linux or FreeBSD servers on this so called 'dynamic space' You bloat about exploited windows machines and 'forget' about the rest of us running decent servers. I don't know many people running a windows mailserver; I DO know quite some folks running a *BSD (unix/linux) one. Problem is that there is a hundred exploited windows boxes for each person with clue (And those boxes are usually not intended as mail servers). And the world isn't exactly lacking in exploited unix installs. You don't have as much control as you think, this is just adding one extra hop into the usual 2-3 hops that your mail is going to take anyways. If you can't live with that, get a T1. Wrong attitude, dude. No. You want to do things right, get the right gear. Get another ISP then. This one too. Nope. I suggest you rethink your position. Wake up, get a life outside the states. Been living outside the states all my life. Just because I don't buy your cop-out doesn't make me a big bad american.

Re: FreeBSD programming question
select() should work for you, similar to trigering an interrupt. Instead
of triggering an ISR select() will sleep until there's an event on the
file descriptors. So you open() the device for the serial port and
select() on it. When you return from select() the return value will tell
you why you returned and you handle the situation similar to programing
for the 8250 (read from the port to see which event).
In any case, you can select() on the file descriptors for the standard
input and the serial port, though remember that STDIN uses buffered IO
and open() will return an unbuffered file descriptor, which is what
select() uses, so you need to find the unbuffered file descriptor for
the stadard IO, which is either 0, 1 or 2, but I forget which on FreeBSD
(I've been doing network daemons to much lately).
In any case, you create an FD_SET
fd_set mySet;
FD_ZERO(mySet);
FD_SET(fd, mySet);
where fd is the file descriptor returned from open, or the file
descriptor for the standard input.
Use the set as a read set with select along iwth a timeout. struct
timeval is
struct timeval {
longtv_sec; /* seconds */
longtv_usec;/* and microseconds */
};
if the pointer to the struct timeval is NULL then it waits forever. (or
until a signal causes an exit).
(Note, usleep() is often implemented using select on no file descriptors
and a timeval).
int rc;
struct timeval myTimeout;
rc = select(2, mySet, NULL, NULL, myTimeout);
This call will return when either timeval is up or there's data to read
on your file descriptors. Be sure to check errno if select returns -1.
When select returns the fd_set will be set to the descriptors that are
actionable. Use FD_ISSET(fd, mySet) to see if that file descriptor is
waiting to be actioned on (read, write, or other) until you've found all
the ones that are ready (the number returned by select()) and do your thing.
There's a really great book called Advanced Programing in the UNIX
environment and it will show you all the system calls you ever needed
to know to work with UNIX, though it's light on the concurrency issues,
but it doesn't sound like your writing multithreaded memory shared
programs so it's no worry.
I haven't really looked at the sio driver, but I doubt it, it still
works with the 8250, which only had one IO address (tell it what you
want to do, read the result, tell it what you want to do, send it info,
tell it what you want to know, read the info it has... ...programing was
much more fun back then).

I'm used to having a touch more control at the hardware level.
It sounds like I would be best served by setting up a loop that sleeps
for a certain number of milliseconds, and then looks for new data in the
serial port buffers. Knowing the amount of time per loop, I could handle
the periodic data polling as well. My largest concern was in creating a
CPU hog. I don't want to slow the system down by constantly accessing
the serial port.
It occurred to me that I may be able to deal with this another way. I
can poll the thermostat for MOST things, only the user interface
requires fairly speedy interactions. I can simply listen for the ENTER
button, and then increase the polling rate until the UI exits.
As it were, I'm poking around in the ports to see how other programs
have dealt with this.
Just out of curiousity, since I can check the driver source, does the
sio driver add any additional buffering, or does it simply read the
16byte FIFO on the serial port? Most of the messages I am expecting
should fit in that FIFO anyway.
Thanks,

How can I code trap serial port interrupts in my C program?
For any modern hosted system interrupt trapping and servicing is in the
province of the system -- it should not be a userland activity.
For example, I want to read values from a serial device every
user-specified number of seconds, calculate some stuff and then sit for
a while. Should the serial device decide it wants to send some data
unsolicited, I would like to enter an interrupt service routine, handle
the communication, and then return to the previous loop.
There are a number of techniques which may or may not suit your needs;
it is not too clear just what you are trying to do.
Generally the system will provide some buffering of input so it is not usually
important that your code processes each character immediately on arrival.
In many cases using placing the select(2) system call in a loop will meet the
needs.
In more difficult cases you may need to look at threading pthread(3) or
forking fork(2) or vfork(2)
I can get the loop going by using sleep(n), but I don't know how to
write the ISR in C, and
