console pim? - what to use to track appointments
I've been thinking about the combination of tools/applications needed to have PIM functionality at the console. This would allow me to use the same software on my desktop (FreeBSD) and NEC Mobilepro (NetBSD). Syncing - rsync should provide efficient syncing of email if I use the maildir email format. Since the address book is in one file, I'll have to be careful about where/when I make entries. I can script the rsync activities for ease of use. Email - mutt, fetchmail, msmtp and procmail can handle the email functions. Address book - abook can provide the address book and works with mutt. Schedule/Calendar - ??? Here's where I'm stumped. cal will show me calendars when I need then; but I don't know what to use to keep track of meetings and other appointments. calendar has lists of dates; but doesn't facilitate data entry and the format doesn't facilitate various fields of information (date, time, place, subject, contact, etc). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cannot Add User
I just installed a v5.1 single-boot system from CD. So far, the only changes I've made from the initial installation were to configure sshd, set the system security level to moderate (from high), and set the system clock; other than that, it's a clean installation. I'm now trying to install Postfix, and the problem I'm running into is that I cannot create new user accounts. I created several user accounts during installation, and they seem to be fine. But when I [manually] create entries in /etc/passwd, master.passwd, and group, the entries are 'ignored' -- e.g., a chown [newuser] [filename] command fails, attempts to su from root into the user account fail, etc. When I try to create the user via adduser (using the standard defaults), the account creation step fails with the following error: pw: user '[newuser]' disappeared during update Again, attempts to 'access' the user (i.e., chmod, etc.) will fail. Interestingly, though, if I try to re-create the user, adduser tells me that the user already exists -- and a check of the relevant files confirms that the entries are there. I've looked around for a solution to this problem, but haven't found one, so here I am. FYI, the system security level was set to high during installation, and was then reset to moderate after installation, as this system is intended to be used as a server (and high was too restrictive; I couldn't even [find a way to] set the system time correctly).

HEADS UP: MAJOR changes to the ports system
Sorry for the wide distribution, but it is critical that -CURRENT users hear this. Two _MAJOR_ changes just went in to the ports tree that are bound to cause some pain to -CURRENT users. The first is the change in default threading libraries. The ports system now uses -lpthread when linking ports instead of -lc_r. Binaries that wind up with both libc_r and libpthread in them will cause problems. In that case, it is imperative that you report this to the port's maintainer ASAP. You can use pkg_info -W /path/to/binary to determine which port installed it. Second, Perl 5.8.2 is now the default version of Perl in -CURRENT since the 5.2 split. This replaces Perl 5.6.1 as the default. Note: Perl 5.00503 is still the default version of Perl in the 4.X base OS. If you experience problems with any of these changes (or with the other recent changes listed in /usr/ports/CHANGES), please report them on the ports@ list and to the appropriate maintainers as soon as possible.

I also can't boot into single user mode using boot -s It is worth mentioning that I was able to boot the box from a FreeBSD 5.1 rescue CD, and remount all the partitions. I even used fsck and check all the partitions to make sure they are clean. But still can't boot from it. fsck will not necessarily notify you if there are hardware read errors somewhere on the drive. It just makes sure the filesystem areas are consistent and readable, not the data. If you use dd to read the whole disk, say # dd if=/dev/ad1s1a of=/dev/null bs=128k and it completes successfully, then it might be not a hardware fault, but something else. I'm sorry to say, but recently I had a power failure and it damaged my 80G Seagate (and FreeBSD gives pretty much the same errors when attempting to access the damages sectors). I have search the Internet, and it looks like quite a few people had the same problem during installation, but I didn't find any suitable solutions. -- DoubleF People will accept your ideas much more readily if you tell them that Benjamin Franklin said it first. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ipfw rules help.
Hello everyone. Im on FreeBSD 4.8R, NATd, ipfw enabled, everything working fine. my box is behind a DSL modem router and clients behind the FreeBSD. My LAN is C class IPs. I compiled ipfw to accept by default. This is my ipfw list: 00050 divert 8668 ip from any to any via rl0 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 My Questions: a) lets say I want to deny everything except a range of IPs starting from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.50. what rule set should be? how to set range of IPs? to pass and deny rest of the C class. FreeBSD Doc's doesnot cover this? or i didnot see.! b) If i want to deny everything except ip 192.168.1.5 as follow 00400 allow all from 192.168.1.5 to any 01000 deny all from any to any. when ipfw reads the rules and pass by 00400 then comes to 01000 then it denies even the 192.168.1.5, althou i put this rule before the deny ? what im missing? how should i pass 1 ip and deny all? c) If I want rule 00400 to expire in 9PM and be active in 8AM.(EXAMPLE) how do we do that? is it by set a cron job to delete and add the ipfw rule? or there is something to do from the ipfw it self? D) Last Q: IF I restart the box all the rules will be reset, and comes to default. which is reasonable. How to keep it everytime I restart? do i create a file somewhere, and i tell my rc.conf for it? what the rc.conf line should be? and file format? Question out of subject, How i can do something thro cronjob to make the box Email me the log of firewall everyday on certain time, lets say 9PM ?

This works well for my setup. I have the following configuration: The machine has 2 NIC's, xl0, dc0. The kernel is configured to do bridging. The bridged packets is passed to IPFW (net.link.ether.bridge.ipfw=1). I shape traffic this way: The bridge is setup between a router and an internal mail server. I am limiting bandwith using the following rules: pipe 1 config bw 16KBytes/s pipe 2 config bw 12KBytes/s and then: add pipe 1 tcp from any to any 25 (limit incoming traffic towards smtp) add pipe 2 tcp from any 110 to any (limit outgoing traffic from pop3) Yesterday, while browsing through Absolute BSD by Michael Lucas I read an interesting part: You cannot shape incoming traffic the way that I do at the moment. Now, my question: How can I limit the incoming traffic towards my smtp server properly? Any advice would be apreciated.

My modem is configured in kde as cuaa0. Efax uses modem as a default. How can I change it to cuaa0. In the execution file at /usr/local/bin/fax - it has a line that says DEV=modem #DEV=cuaa1 when I change it to #Dev=cuaa0 - it makes no difference. The only way I have found around this is to go to /dev/cuaa0 (using graphical interphase) - pull it out to my desktop and using link application. I change the name to modem and put it back (there is now both a cuaa0and modem in /dev. Then I'm able to send faxes. However, there is no way to save this configuration and when I turn off my computer it resets to the original settings Sounds like a devfs issue on 5.x.

Re: PPC ver of freeBSD ? isent that the main body of os X
The userland is freebsd.. i.e. the executables in /usr/bin, /bin, etc. I'm sure apple alters a few things. The part of OSX that differs is in the kernel. Roughly half the kernel is FreeBSD 5.0 and the other half is based on the Mach 3.0 kernel design. Basically apple hacked two kernel designs together to get a fast, modular kernel. (well if you believe everything their documentation says at developer.apple.com) This information is based on some articles I read on apple's developer site about OS X.3. Apple also doesn't use the ports collection which is a shame! If you want to run a BSD besides OSX/darwin on a Mac, check out NetBSD or OpenBSD.

Re: ipfw rules help.
Marwan Sultan disturbed my sleep to write: I compiled ipfw to accept by default. This is my ipfw list: 00050 divert 8668 ip from any to any via rl0 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 Hm...this may not be a big deal, but is there any reason you're putting the divert rule before the rules dealing with lo0/127.0.0.0/8? The default FreeBSD open firewall ruleset usually puts the divert rule after -- this would be rule 400 in your example. a) lets say I want to deny everything except a range of IPs starting from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.50. what rule set should be? how to set range of IPs? to pass and deny rest of the C class. FreeBSD Doc's doesnot cover this? or i didnot see.! man ipfw(8) will help you. Depending on the version of ipfw (I forget when this syntax was added), you may be able to do this: ipfw allow all from 192.168.1.{1,50} to any ipfw deny all from any to any As for which rule it should be...typically what I do is write down my firewall rules in a separate file, try to make sure that they make sense (allow rules before deny rules, for example), then try them out...always making sure that I have some way into the machine if I'm working remotely! Usually you can let ipfw take care of assigning rule numbers, unless you've got something fairly special going on. b) If i want to deny everything except ip 192.168.1.5 as follow 00400 allow all from 192.168.1.5 to any 01000 deny all from any to any. when ipfw reads the rules and pass by 00400 then comes to 01000 then it denies even the 192.168.1.5, althou i put this rule before the deny ? what im missing? how should i pass 1 ip and deny all? I'm not sure why that would happen, but you can find out. If you change that deny rule to a deny-and-log rule, like this: ipfw deny log all from any to any you can then run tail -f /var/log/security and see what packets are being caught by the deny rule. You can also run ipfw show, which will show you how many packets/bytes are being caught by which rules. Again, read the man page for ipfw. Off the top of my head, I suspect you're allowing traffic out, but not back in -- you haven't listed a rule that would allow replies to TCP traffic back in, or DNS queries. Denying either of these would make it look like nothing is working. Try this: allow tcp from 192.168.1.5 to any allow udp from 192.168.1.5 to any keep-state check-state allow tcp from any to any established deny all from any to any c) If I want rule 00400 to expire in 9PM and be active in 8AM.(EXAMPLE) how do we do that? is it by set a cron job to delete and add the ipfw rule? or there is something to do from the ipfw it self? As far as I know, you can only do this with a cron job. Test carefully, though -- it's frighteningly easy to lock yourself out while doing this sort of thing. I speak from bitter experience. :-) D) Last Q: IF I restart the box all the rules will be reset, and comes to default. which is reasonable. How to keep it everytime I restart? do i create a file somewhere, and i tell my rc.conf for it? what the rc.conf line should be? and file format? man rc.conf(5) will show you firewall options. What I usually do is write my own and keep it in a separate file -- I find rc.firewall too confusing when trying to customize it. But have a look at /etc/rc.firewall and the simple option -- it probably does a lot of what you want. Question out of subject, How i can do something thro cronjob to make the box Email me the log of firewall everyday on certain time, lets say 9PM ? Well, you could just have a script that would, say, grep for today's date in your firewall logs and email that. Another thing you could consider doing, though, is signing up at dshield.org and using one of their clients to parse your logs. Dshield collects firewall information from volunteers around the world, and uses it to alert people to new or fast-moving threats. It's an excellent idea, and a lot of help to security people. I use ipfw2dshield to parse and mail my logs, and as a bonus I get a copy of the email myself to see if there's anything interesting. Hope that helps!

Re[2]: ARP poisonong. LIVE_MAC
In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You want to deny physical connectivity to the LAN, from a particular host, period. You might try setting up a quasi-switch with bridge (kernel option see LINT), plug a whole bunch of network cards in, and downing the interfaces when they don't pay... It would be a full duplex, dual speed-hub, which is probably fine, anyways... You'd also need cross-over cables for all of the PCs becuase it's a HOST to HOST connection. I'd recommend the DLink DFE-570TX, but I don't know that they make it anymore... Intel makes some good multi-port adapters. Also a PCI bus is limited to pushing 1056 Mbps (32-bits * 33Mhz), so you can really max out your system (potentially 200Mbps/adapter) quickly... The best option would be to go with something that is designed for this sort of thing. A Cisco catalyst (1900s and 2900s are pretty cheap these days) is. You can write a script that logs into the switch, and ups and downs the port when they don't pay, or their account is up to date. Just a thought... A dedicated switch would probably be the best way to deal with this, since you are switching the traffic anyways. Alternatively, you can mess with ports/net/nemesis to craft ARP packets, and so can the connected device, because they still have physical access to the LAN. Not to mention that they are still capable of denying service to other customers via the exact same method that you use, even though they are disabled.

Try running pwd_mkdb(8) by hand to get it straightened out. In future, remember not to edit passwd and so forth by hand; stick with adduser(8) and/or vipw(8) to avoid shooting yourself in the foot like this. I have to wonder if this is unique to the BSDs; I've been using Solaris for nearly a decade now, and the _only_ way I've ever created user accounts is manually -- by editing /etc/passwd, shadow, and group files, creating user directories, etc. I've never had a problem with it before. (I'm pretty sure I've done the same under Linux, too.) Running adduser is fine for simple user accounts -- but there are few user accounts on a typical server. The problem with adduser is that it isn't well suited to things like accounts with no home directories or login shells, disabled passwords (not the same as a locked account), etc. Either way, I tried running pwd_mkdb -C /etc/passwd, and it reported a format error on line 3 -- which happens to be the root account, and is the first real data line in the file. Moreover, it's a line that I didn't modify. It reported no errors on /etc/master.passwd, so I copied and modified it into a passwd file -- and pwd_mkdb then reported no errors on the new passwd file. However, that action also prevented any new logins, and running passwd didn't fix the problem. So, after mucking around with pwd_mkdb for a while, I opted to simply reinstall the OS -- it was still a rather new installation, and I wanted to increase the /usr partition, anyway. After completing the new FreeBSD installation, the first thing I did upon logging in was run pwd_mkdb on /etc/passwd, and it still reported a format error on line 3. I then manually added the necessary users, and this time the postfix installation ran to completion. While it's possible that I messed up the format on the original try, it's unlikely -- I checked it over a dozen times before going in search of a FreeBSD list on which to ask the question. I'm thinking that there might have been something else in the mix. But either way, the clean install fixed it (though admittedly it was a rather Draconian fix). -- __ Vince Sabio [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Vinum writes the configuration to the disk and reads the information from it. I think it will be able to cope with a missing disk by itself because the label on it has not changed; on what is now /dev/ad1s1h vinum has stored the fact that this vinum drive is labeled 'a', and even if the freebsd device node changes names, vinum will still know that the then /dev/ad0s1h is labeled 'a'.

Each file system would be at least marked as being used, so fsck -p on boot will print that and check them. Usually if the system is idle the fs will be ok. But you have processes that are active in regard the fs, even if not logged in (cron, ntp/ntpdate, syslog to name a few); /tmp and /var usually have problems after an unclean shutdown. Note two things about disks: 1. hw.ata.wc=0 disables write caching - bad for performance good for integrity. When a disk does wc it holds data in its buffer and report it as being written to the OS and this delay could go up to 60 seconds (and even more) depending on the HDD and the load. atacontrol cap channel unit should tell you the state of write caching; on my system I have wc=0 but atacontrol shows it turned on, so I might be wrong here or this is not supported on all HDDs. 2. kern.filedelay=30, kern.dirdelay=29, kern.metadelay=28 sets how often the respective data is flushed ( synced(8) ) to disk when using soft-updates; note the descending order, it is important. You might want to decrease them, which will degrade performance, but could help a more consistent fs in case of a crash. When I test a new HDD, CDROM, kernel and world I usually decrease them to 15,14,13 or even 10,9,8 until everything seems OK. Also, how long should an 'fsck' on a 500GB partition take? It's been running for almost 12 hours now, and the latest output is still Phase 1 - check blocks and sizes; is something wrong or is fsck still doing its thing? My largest was about 80G and it takes a few minutes with UDMA100 for a small amount of errors, so I don't really know. But it depends on how much the file system is damaged, the access speed of the disk/controller and the processor/memory; I have the feeling the size - time progression is not at all arithmetical. As a note, if you don't really need a fs that big, use smaller partitions and mount / symlink them where you need them where you need.

FreeBSD Doc's doesnot cover this? or i didnot see.! I would set a default to deny, then poke holes through it for the stuff you need, such as add allow ip from 192.168.1.1/5 to any add allow ip from any to 192.168.1.1/5 (which sets up to use 1.1 to 1.32). That netmask is your best friend. b) If i want to deny everything except ip 192.168.1.5 as follow 00400 allow all from 192.168.1.5 to any 01000 deny all from any to any. when ipfw reads the rules and pass by 00400 then comes to 01000 then it denies even the 192.168.1.5, althou i put this rule before the deny ? what im missing? how should i pass 1 ip and deny all? It means something didn't even check it with rule 400. This can be due to an IPDIVERT thing changing the address so it doesn't match, or something similar. c) If I want rule 00400 to expire in 9PM and be active in 8AM.(EXAMPLE) how do we do that? is it by set a cron job to delete and add the ipfw rule? or there is something to do from the ipfw it self? cron job. ipfw doesn't have the capability of doing time-based rulesets. Temporary ones are okay, but time based, it can't really handle. D) Last Q: IF I restart the box all the rules will be reset, and comes to default. which is reasonable. How to keep it everytime I restart? do i create a file somewhere, and i tell my rc.conf for it? what the rc.conf line should be? and file format? Create or edit the '/etc/rc.firewall'. I would only make the changes to allow a firewall type of 'file', and then make rc.conf reference a file that contains the rules. Or, you can add a startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ that adds the rules.

4.9R Install - Couldn't open FTP connection to ftp[#].freebsd.org: Not logged
Trying to install 4.9R from the boot floppies. The first NIC I tried was the built-in Intel Pro 100 VE. dmesg displayed what I think was the NIC, because it found the MAC address of the NIC and at that stage it was the only NIC device plugged into the system. So I gave up on the Intel NIC, because it would not resolve the FTP addresses, even though, on the DNS server the address (of the FTP servers) was in the DNS cache. Now I get: Couldn't open FTP connection to ftp[#].freebsd.org: Network is down. This is still on the Intel NIC. I have now plugged in a DLINK DFE 530TXS, which shows up as ste0 Sundance ST201 PCI ethernet card And with it, I get: Couldn't open FTP connection to ftp[#].freebsd.org: Not logged in So I assume it is resolve the name OK, but just can't login. In addition, the NIC is getting IP info from the DHCP server. Therefore, I believe it's not a physical problem (lights are a blinkin'), nor a logical one, because it gets an IP from the DHCP server, or at least retrieves this information OK. I have tried over a dozen of the ftp[1,2,3,4,5,6,ca, etc.].freebsd.org sites listed. How can I make sure that I have network connectivity throughout the install? How do I properly exit out of the connecting to the FTP part of the install that can sit there paused for more than 15 minutes? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Looking for Software on your site...
Donald Corn wrote: Hi. My account rep at Verio suggested I look at your site for software. I am not a technical person, more in the marketing area; but once I find what I am looking for I can pass onto our programmer. FreeBSD is an operating system which comes with some very elegant ways to manage application software, but you're talking about the application software here. And there's an awful lot of it available. So the first point is, you have Choice. As the Perl people say, there's more than one way to do it. FreeBSD is an excellent operating system for this type of role, but there is so much choice of software that you would almost certainly find it cost-effective to involve someone who already has a good idea of the field. Specifically, we are looking for a mail server solution sendmail is the default mail server software with FreeBSD and it's excellent, but you could also use Exim, qmail, postfix and a couple of other alternatives. Each has different merits. that will do personalization I'm not too sure what you mean by that... /html transmissions mail servers are generally agnostic about whether the mails are in plain text, html or both. , plus the required subscribe/unsubscribe functions. That's a mailing list. Mailing list software runs alongside a mail server. Again, lots of choice... ezmlm, mailman, majordomo... We are also using @Mail and I saw it referenced as a Webmail solution on your site. Can you help point me where to find the overview of your software programs in general and specifically a mail server and info on Webmail. Webmail (and there a several webmail systems available) is really just some cgi scripts that access mailboxes using (normally) imap. FreeBSD administrators often roll their own solutions. But there are several established combinations. For example, the author of the qmail mail server also wrote the ezmlm mailing list manager, and it makes sense to use them together. A company called Inter7 have added some tweaks to this setup with additional software called vpopmail (for managing virtual domains and users), qmailadmin for administrating e-mail accounts and mailing lists, and a webmail system (that I'm not personally very keen on) called Sqwebmail. You might find it interesting to look over their site at: http://www.inter7.com Possibly more interesting webmail solutions could be horde and phpgroupware, both of which offer additional features such as calendars, to-do lists, and are easy to extend in different ways to suit your specific requirements. Personally, I'd probably use qmail, ezmlm (or in fact a version of it called ezmlm-idx), vpopmail, qmailadmin, courier (for pop and imap servers) and either horde or phpgroupware. If you go to: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html you'll be able to read some info on all these pieces of software.

Re: PPC ver of freeBSD ? isent that the main body of os X
MacOS X is using a monolithic kernel which derives from between the CMU Mach project v2.0 and v2.5 circa 1990, which was Avie Tenavian's grad project at CMU. Apple is not using the Mach 3.0 microkernel, nor is it using half of the FreeBSD 5 kernel. Incorrect!

Re: using a separate drive for swap
So you're adding a new drive to your box, wanting to keep your old root and other partitions? If so you should be able to just put a freebsd partition and set up disklables b (swap) and c (the whole disk) on the new drive and then add it to /etc/fstab as swap. (This can be done in 'gui' in sysinstall under fdisk and disklabel - not the /etc/fstab edit though :) If you dont want to do any rebooting you can use swapon(8) I think.
