Um-, your on the wrong mailing list?  Synaptic and aptitude are
Debian package manager frontends. (unless you have installed
Debian on FreeBSD, in which case you should check out the Debian
website for more info about where to contact.

I use a firewall which allows a block of DoS IPs from any to any also
can close ports easily. Plus, if you log, you can then monitor the further
attempts

For now, yank the plug on your DSL so you're off the internet. Switch to
dialup if you can, and then close as many ports as you can. Change your root
password. This is *very* general advice; since you haven't given much in the
way of details I can't give specific help.

RE: Arp cache needs clearing or machine stops responding

[Brent Wiese]

Does it strike anyone else as odd that this would need to be done?

Could this be an indication of ARP slamming, a trick to force a switch to
transmit everything over all ports (like a hub) so a packet sniffer could be
snatching bad things off the wire?

Unfortunately anything you do at the local end will not prevent bandwidth
from being consumed on your link.  Once it hits your local firewall to be
dropped the traffic has already consumed bandwidth on your link. 

This may or may not be a concern.  If the DOS is consuming a great deal of
bandwidth than it probably is a concern and you may try contacting the
abuse@ or other support addresses at your ISP and ask if they can filter
this traffic before it hits your link.

If you do want to consider a local firewall (which is a very good idea
indeed) you may consider using a FreeBSD box in bridging mode between the
DSL link and the local LAN.  This FreeBSD box can do layer 3 (IP)
filtering in bridging (layer 2 forwarding) mode.

Unless he has already changed toor's password (which a lot of people don't

If you are, it isn't the FreeBSD make. With the bundled system "make",
the error signature looks something like:

"Makefile", line 1: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

With GNU make the error signature looks like:

Makefile:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

So either you've overwritten the system's "make" with the GNU make (by
installing GNU-make by hand instead of using the ports system), or
your PATH is really weird.

Cheers.

   If you have a dynamic IP address, you may get by power cycling your DSL
modem so you come up with another IP address. It's a cheap shot, but may
buy you some time online while you batten up the hatches.

Then the disks are not "dangerously dedicated".  But that doesn't make

See the Porter's Handbook at

chapter 14.  Basically make a diff of the original vs the updated port,

You can configure sysctl options if you create the file /etc/sysctl.conf and
put your changes there. Is this what you're looking for?

php mail() function with freebsd 4.8

[thomas may]

Hi,
 
is there someone who has experience with the php Mail() Funktion under
FreeBSD 4.8. I have simply installed the mod_php from the ports
directory. I use as smtp-gateway/mailserver
 www.xmailserver.org on Port 25. it will
work with the command mail and sendmail on console without problems. the
following changes i have made in php.ini:
 
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
;SMTP = localhost
; For Win32 only.
;sendmail_from =   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
; for unix only
sendmail_path = "/usr/local/sbin/sendmail -t -i &"

 
My PHP Script looks as follow:
 
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subject = "Testmail";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-gm-impdata\n";
$header .= "From:  
[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
 
// send the email
mail($mailto, $subject, $message, $header);
?>

 
If i use for example IE60 Browser i got only an empty site without
sending the mail. Iam not really sure if it is a php, port or a freebsd
problem. Maybe i must change some compile options ?
 
Can someone please help me.
 
THANX thomas

You could do worse than ask the author of ext2fs whether he knows of any

   If normal users can send and receive mail, then your problem may be
the root mail account.
   Qmail refuses to send mail to root: you have to define which normal
user should receive mail directed to root. To do this put the username
in the file $QMAILDIR/alias/.qmail-root, where $QMAILDIR is the base
directory where you installed qmail.
   For more information see:
man qmail
man dot-qmail

Patching procedures

[Guy Van Sanden]

** message didn't make it to the list - sending again **


I'm still relatively new to FreeBSD, and I was wondering what most of
you use as a patching procedure for FreeBSD (not the ports)

Up to now, I have always folowed the instructions in '2) To patch your
present system:'.
Yet somehow this seems like the long way to do it.

Therefor, I'm wondering how most of you keep your systems up to date.

For the moment, I'm only managing my home server (which is still
critical), but I would also like to know how to manage this in a
professional deployment (I used to manage Solaris networks, and we had
these patch-clusters which were rahter nice).

Thanks in advance

That happens in the late stages if the game. init is running the main 
rc script, disks have been fscked and mounted, swap is up. It does 
happen before network setup, IIRC. It depends on what variables the OP

Re: Is CIFS available already on FreeBSD?

[Guy Van Sanden]

Hello Anand

The protocol you are inquiring about is called SMB/CIFS.
Server Message Block/Common Internet File System.

The name in itself is very misleading, CIFS is not an Internet FS in any
way, but part of M$ file/print sharing implementation.

To answer your question, Samba is a fully functional SMB/CIFS server and
client.  
The client is provided as utilities like smbclient, smbmount.
On some systems you even get the option to use smbfs in fstab.

Kind regards

Guy

configuring internal ZIP drive under FBSD-5.1-RELEASE

[carloma]

Hello ! 

I upgraded to FBSD-5.1-Release and built a new kernel including, what I think,
all the necessary drivers for my internal IOMEGA ZIP 250. Helas, there is
no device node in /dev for the device, and also is the device not detected
during the boot process.
I'd be very grateful for any hints to solve this obstacle.

You can install a bootmanager and select the partition/slice to boot from.
All i want is to
use both coz i really dont know if there is a
word,exceel,photoshop,access,power point and frontpage just like in
windows.
There is no word, excel, photoshop, access, power point and frontpage.
There is Abiword, gnumeric, gimp, mysql. Or use openoffice to get all 
features in one.
can i use two OS (WIndows and FREEBSD)?
Yes, you can use more than one os on your hardware. See above.

Good luck.

Check out the file README.TXT which is at the location you mention above.
Then 'cd releases' and check out that README.TXT file, then cd for example
to '/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.1-RELEASE' and fetch the file INSTALL.TXT

ftp://ftp5.us.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.1-RELEASE/INSTALL.TXT

Yes -- however /etc/sysctl.conf is still too late compared to what the
OP was asking for.

You can modify some kernel tunables very early in the boot process by
setting variables in the loader.  According to loader(8) the tunables
that are available are:

kern.maxusers
kern.ipc.nmbclusters
kern.vm.kmem.size
kern.maxswzone
kern.maxbcache
machdep.pccard.pcic_irq
net.inet.tcp.tcbhashsize

(This is on 4.9-PRERELEASE, other OS versions may differ)

These are normally set using compiled-in values derived from settings
like MAXUSERS, NMBCLUSTERS, TCBHASHSIZE in the kernel config.  These
values have to be set early because they define the size of various
critical memory structures within the kernel that can't be modified
while the system is running.

You can set these values by editing /boot/loader.conf -- eg, add:

   kern.maxusers="32"

to that file.  The operation of loader.conf deliberately parallels the
way that /etc/rc.conf works.  See /boot/defaults/loader.conf for
default settings for the available variables.

Any other modifications to sysctl settings can and should be made via
/etc/sysctl.conf

Matthew

exim configurations?

[William O'Higgins]

Is anyone using exim as their MTA?  I am attempting to migrate to
FreeBSD, but this is my stumbling block.  exim works, but it will not
send mail out of the machine, and the log has "Operation timed out"
messages for every queue run on every message until they get returned as
undeliverable.

Has anyone got a sample FreeBSD exim config I can look at, perhaps one
that uses a smarthost (but that's not strictly necessary)?  Thanks.

yours,

William

Unlike Solaris, FreeBSD generally operates by supplying patches to the
system source code.  Colin Percival has a binary patch system under
development, but it's not an official FreeBSD thing yet -- see
http://www.daemonology.org/ for details.

The standard way to keep a system up to date is to maintain an up to
date copy of the system sources -- either which ever one of the
release branches you've chosen, or 4-STABLE or 5-CURRENT -- and
compile and install from there.

For the release branches you can achieve that by starting with the
sources as distributed on the CD Roms, and applying the patches as
shown in any security advisories -- any changes to a release branche
will be accompanied by an advisory notice, which is almost always a
security advisory.  Technically it may be possible for a really
crucial but not security related patch to be applied to a release
branch, but it doesn't seem to happen much in practice.  The
non-release branches (4-STABLE, 5-CURRENT) are under continuous
development, so there's not going to be any specific points at which
everyone will update, other than when large chunks of particularly
awaited new functionality or big bugfixes go into the tree.  Or when
(like now) a new release is in the offing.  Most private users
tracking STABLE or CURRENT will just update every week or month or so,
or when they get around to it.

Whatever the release branch you've chosen, and particularly if you're
running 4-STABLE of 5-CURRENT, it's much more convenient to use
cvsup(1) to keep your sources up to date, rather than by applying
patches.  There are a few other mechanisms around -- see Appendix A of
the handbook --

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html

but cvsup(1) is what the vast majority of the users use.

If you're using FreeBSD in a commercial setting, then you should
certainly be tracking one of the release branches and be implementing
a testing regime on a spare server before pushing out updates to your
production servers.  Whilst the FreeBSD project generally does
extremely well at keeping 4-STABLE and the RELEASE branches stable,
they do rely on bug reports from users and developers rather than
having the sort of comprehensive QC test cycles that Sun performs.

The test box function can be combined quite neatly with being a build
server -- you can either make your own releases and cut them to CD-ROM
for installation on your production machines, or just NFS mount the
/usr/obj and /usr/src trees from the build box in order to install the
upgrade.  With practice you can get an installkernel - reboot to
single user - installworld - mergemaster - reboot cycle down to under
15mins downtime, which is a lot quicker than it takes to install some
Solaris patches.

One other major difference between Solaris patches and FreeBSD updates
is that FreeBSD doesn't offer you a specific mechanism to back out any
changes you make.  Always make sure you have good backups from
immediately before you start an upgrade cycle.

Cheers,

Matthew

Re: exim configurations?

[Rob]

I'm using exim with virtual domains & maildirs and without smarthost, so
my config mightn't be useful to you.

Look at http://www.exim.org/ftp/exim3/config.samples.tar.gz or
http://www.exim.org/ftp/exim4/config.samples.tar.gz for some hints - you
can find summaries in FAQ.txt.gz from the same directory.

However, the error you're getting almost sounds like a problem with the
network rather than the MTA

Yes.  As luck would have it I wrote a guide to installing it on FreeBSD
as well.  You can read the article here:

http://www.munk.nu/webcp/

The article covers installing exim with support for pwcheck on freebsd.
Whilst pwcheck is now deprecated and it still works, it should still
help you out.

Remember to install the exim documentation as well - whilst quite terse,
the documentation is very comprehensive.  As the other poster mentions
check for existing configurations as well and also check the exim-users
list for some ideas - try searching here:

Dependent on version and/or sshd_config you may need an empty
directory belonging to root:
  /var/empty
and a pseudo user:
  sshd:*:22:22::0:0:Secure Shell Daemon:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin

Some how I was missing this user on one machine and found 
sshd would exit rather promptly until I installed this user.

Of course you might have an entirely different problem ;)

RELENG_4 is the development branch for FreeBSD-STABLE. RELENG_4_7 and
RELENG_4_8 are the security fix branches for those releases.  If you want

use RELENG_4_7, or RELENG_4_8 if you want to upgrade.

Is RELENG_4 to be considered stable? I.e. can i use it for production?

Also i am still a bit unsure, what CURRENT, RELEASE and STABLE mean.
From other OS's, i know that "Release" means "for production use".
But 5.x-RELEASE is said to be not for production.
Is STABLE more stable than RELEASE?
Thanks for any insight

-STABLE  = 4.x
-CURRENT = 5.x
-RELEASE = Snapshot of STABLE/CURRENT

RELENG_4 is the development branch of -STABLE & it can be broken from
time to time (rarely, but still).. so you wouldn't want to use that for
production use.

For production.. it's best to use a -RELEASE from the -STABLE branch.
You'd want RELENG_4_8 - which is 4.8-RELEASE + bug/security fixes.

Hopefully that makes some kinda sense. :D

Offhand, these look like problems with the floppies.
Try other disks, and make sure you don't download the images in "text"
mode.  

Also, you might want to stick with FreeBSD 4.x unless you have a
specific reason for running 5.x; see

Well, that depends. At the moment, -stable has (or had) some stability problems
since some enhancements for huge memory systems (> 4gb) where merged
from -current).

I think the best for production system is the latest security branch,
i.e. RELENG_4_8 which is the latest release (4.8-RELEASE) + all the
security fixes that have been released so far. -stable aka. RELENG_4
contains those fixes + other bug fixes + feature enhancements, that
might cause problems once in a while.

The FreeBSD 5.x releases were made in order to provide a solid test
basis for the very latest branch of FreeBSD. Although it runs very
stable for a lot of people, more conservative users that do not need any
of the new features in FreeBSD 5.x are recommended stay with FreeBSD 4.x
at the present.

> in the freebsd online handbook i found this command:

Don't set a password on the real root account or log in to it.   
For some little measure of safety, leave it starred '*' out.

Just make your own root account if it is your machine and you
will have the ability to have a root account.Use 'vipw' to
edit the passwd file - it also updates master.passwd when you
exit and write changes.

Copy the entry for toor and replace the username and the
information fields and the home directory and shell fields.
Then set a password for this account and create the home directory 
and make sure the shell is in /etc/shells.

The gory details in an example:

Lets say your name is Clyde.
 - Make yourself root - 
   either su, or go to single user and mount everything or whatever.
 - use vipw to edit the passwd file.   Make a copy of the toor entry
   (Don't modify toor itself for reasons of cleanness and to avoid
   possible problems (unlikely nowdays, but) during upgrades. 
   NOTE:   Fields in the passwd file are separated with a colon (:).
 - then edit the _copy_ to change the username field from toor to Rclyde   
 - Leave the uid and gid fields the same.  
 - Modify the field that says something like 'Bourne-again Superuser'
   to say something like 'Clyde root account' (just for information)
 - modify the home(login) directory field that says /root to be /root/Rclyde
 - add /usr/local/bin/bash or whatever shell you want after the last (:)
   NOTE:   Do not add another colon (:) after the shell field
 - write changes and exit the editor  ':wq'
 - set a password for Rclyde  'passwd Rclyde'  - make sure you include the 
   username Rclyde because otherwise you will set the real root's password.
 - Create the home directory for Rclyde'mkdir /root/Rclyde'
 - use some editor, probably vi to edit /etc/shells and make sure
   that /usr/local/bin/bash  is listed.

Now you should be able to log in as Rclyde with a root ability account 
and have bash as your shell and not skrew up root's shell which should
stay /bin/sh for those times it is needed, as in when you are cleaning 
up some mess that can only be done in single user with none of the other
filesystems mounted.   You can also set up a nice convenient environment 
with .login, .bashrc, .cshrc, etc depending on shell and what you like, 
that suits you and doesn't make the real root requite stuff that might 
not be available when you are cleaning up messes in single user.

NOTE:   I don't use bash and haven't installed it, so if it installs 
somewhere other than /usr/local/bin/bash, make sure you use 
that instead of what I put in this example.

You might find you get better diagnostics by asking exim directly what
it's up to. Use "exim -bt" and type email addresses at the prompt. It'll
show you the routing decisions it makes to deliver a message to that
address.

The exim user mailing list is very good; if you stay stuck, drop me a
line offlist with your exim config and I'll try to help.

any howto-s on minimal jail installs with ro-nullfs-mounted/bin,/usr?

[Hari Bhaskaran]

Hi,

I need to create a minimal jail install with as much data shared
with the host as possible. So I believe I can read-only (null-fs)
mount /bin and /usr into paths that fall in the jail's fs-space.
I have tried /usr already (works fine - so long as I use /home
for home directories instead of /usr/home). Since the jails are
not meant for an ISP like setup, it would be acceptable for me
to have non-writeable /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local etc. I can use
a nonstandard PREFIX for all custom packages I install inside
the jail. Are there any howto's on this kind of setup?

For example, most of the steps in "make installworld DESTDIR=?"
looks redundant since I would be clearing the /usr and mounting
from host later on. 

Any help is appreciated. BTW, I am on 4.8

Thanks

Any idea why this would happen, or more important, how I can get out?

You need to enable rpc.lockd on the server.

IPFW reset dead???

[Info [swebase]]

This in the kernel before

option  TCP_RESTRICT_RST

$cmd 00640 reset log tcp from any to me 135  in via $oif limit src-addr 4

would reset closed ports so a scanner not would see it open (filtered).
How do i close a port so no portscanner sees it in freebsd 4.8 ??

System very slow to boot

[Kevin . Greenidge1]

1) Since reloading my system I find that it is very slow to boot. It looks
like it hangs while trying the load the sendmail and sendmail-client
daemons. It eventually boots after 20 minutes or so. I tried disabling
sendmail but it still boots very slow. The initial bootup right after
install was fine but after a few minutes and a restart it would never boot
the same again. The only thing I could think of is that it might be looking
for a dns server which I do not have. any suggestions? 

2) I don't know if this is related to the above issue or not but when I try
to log into ssh the client on two separate machines would timeout waiting
for a connection to the server unless I change the server response timeout
on the client to 120 seconds then and only then would the client (Winscp,
Putty) connect. 

Sorry about all the lame questions but I've been out of touch for a while
and just trying to get my feet wet again. 

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

Intel/Dialogic DX40 and voicemail solutions...?

[Chuck Swiger]

Hi, all--

I have a chance to upgrade a voicemail system using a 4-port Dialogic ISA card-- 
specific revision seems to be DX42/D-- from DOS-based software called 
SmoothOperator running on a P-90 or so, the combination of which Lucent 
rebranded as "Octel 50".  [Lucent is now Avaya, and Intel owns Dialogic.]

One choice is to run an NT 4 system and pay $200 or so for one of a variety of 
voicemail products.  Is there a voicemail solution available for FreeBSD?

A quick search for "dialogic" on the website and on the supported hardware list 
returned nothing, prompting me to ask here.  If this Dialogic board is not 
supported, is there anything else in terms of TAPI hardware which would work?

Thoughts on voicemail software for FreeBSD?
It's being connected to a Lucent Definity PBX.
Thanks,

Necessary code or trash?

[Denis Troshin]

Hi!

I have FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE.

Why most of bin (sbin) utilities are so big.

For example,

 rm   - 410 268 bytes,
 mv   - 407 568 bytes,
 date - 423 748 bytes.

Do they really contain only necessary code or
have more than a half of trash?

If you think my question is very stupid to answer,
please give a few links to read about this problem.

They are statically-linked, which means that each binary includes libc.
The next release of 5.x will allow you to build /bin and /sbin
dynamically-linked if you need the space.

Do a "file /bin/rm" for example. They are linked static, so they don't
depend on any libs, but are bigger because of that.

Just try it for yourself. A simple hello world program: 
~$ gcc -o hello hello.c
~$ ls -lh hello
-rwxr-xr-x  1 stoerte  stoerte  4.4K Aug 28 20:15 hello*

Ports Installed Are Newer Than Tree?

[Drew Tomlinson]

It seems that the ports I have installed on my system are newer than the
ones in the ports tree.  If I run portversion, I get output that looks
like this:

farmer# portversion -v -L=
XFree86-Server-4.3.0_6  >  succeeds port (port has 4.3.0_5)
cdrtools-2.0_1  >  succeeds port (port has 2.0)
gconf-1.0.9_3   >  succeeds port (port has 1.0.9_2)
gdm2-2.4.1.4>  succeeds port (port has 2.4.1.3_1)
gnomegames2-2.2.1_1 >  succeeds port (port has 2.2.1)

And the list goes on.  I've updated my ports tree using cvsup and it
finishes successfully.  I've also run portsdb -uU to update the indexes
however the problem persists.

I'm stumped and don't know what else to check.  Any ideas?  I'm running
4.8.

Are you sure?

Lets see (pseudocode):
 target[100]="abcde";
 source="123456";
 strncat(target, source, 5);

What's the result (just by looking at the man-page):
 - abcde12345
 - abcde12345\0
 - abcde1234\0

Now, write a program which verifies your assumption.

Bye,
Alexander.

Double-check that you only have one copy of these ports installed. I've
seen this problem before, only to discover multiple copies of the same
port were installed. Some 'pkgdb -F' might be in order here ..

Also, I'd recommend 'make index' from /usr/ports instead of using
'portsdb -U'. Much more reliable!

However, it seems that INDEX builds are failing right now anyway. Kris
has been sending out emails to Ports all day with failure reports.

I just use pkg_version -vL=, which doesn't use the index, but can get
slow if you have hundreds of ports installed.

I really don't want sendmail anyway so I will definitly try your suggestion.
I have a dialup account and my freebsd box gets it's ip/dns info via dhcp
from the router. It looks like I'll have to setup dns locally then so it
works whether I'm connected online or not and see if that works.

In addition to what others have said, note you can usually press
'ctrl-c' if the machine looks like it's taking a long time to load one
of the rc scripts when you boot and that usually stops the execution of
the current script.

Generally though this does sound like a problem with DNS as other(s)
have mentioned.  I had a similar problem recently when my bandwidth
provider went down for a day or two (ick) and sshd was taking a _long_
time to respond because it was trying to run a lookup on the inbound IP
address when none of my resolving dns servers were available.

First if you want to test things out, try disabling everything in
/etc/rc.conf and re-enable them one by one until you find out what's
causing the hang (similar with /usr/local/etc/rc.d scripts).

If it does turn out to be sshd (suspect it may be)...

Ensure your hostname is set correctly and fire up named on boot.  The
default named setup is pretty safe on freebsd and simply acts as a
caching dns resolver.  Then just make sure you have:

nameserver 127.0.0.1

in /etc/resolv.conf.

you upgrade your system with buildworld/installworld.

Scroll back in console

[Charles Howse]

Hi,
I realize that I can pipe a command to a pager, but is there a keystroke
combination that I can use to scroll back in the console?  Shift+PageUp
works in Linux.



Thanks,
Charles

Generally hitting Scroll Lock and then PageUp works for me.
The amount you can see depends on the amount of space reserved
for it that is configured.   I don't remember the parameter or
place right off hand.

Press 'Scroll Lock', then you can use Page Up, Page Down etc.  When
you're done, hit 'Scroll Lock' again to go back to normal.

Cheers,

Well, Duuh!
The reason I didn't think about scroll lock is that it is the key that
is mapped to my kvm.  I hit Scroll Lock twice and the number of the
computer I want to switch to.

Familiarity breeds contempt, I guess.

You can always set the NO_MAILWRAPPER=true and NO_SENDMAIL=true flags
in /etc/make.conf.
