Re: Text-based mail program which handles webmail.
fetchmail is a MTA (mail transfer agent). you can install it from ports/mail. it is easy to configure the first time you run it. but make sure you can download your yahoo mail by pop3 first. people have suggested it is a paying yahoo feature. fetchmail doc is readable at http://catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/ checking your mail from remote means you can access your computer from another location (eg, your work place), start pine, and process mail like if you were home. to connect to your computer you must use ssh, as telnet is grossly insecure. but don't worry about this in the first place.

No, this is sendmail's convoluted way of telling you that milter-greylist isn't actually running, and so it would be unsafe (ie. might result in lost e-mail) if it was to attempt to communicate via the socket with that non-existent process. It doesn't have anything to do with the ownership/permissions of either the milter-greylist socket, or the milter-greylist process itself. The answer is just to start up the milter-greylist process. Upon checking, I discovered /var/milter-greylist was owned by smmsp, so I changed it to root. Unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem. Um... don't do that. Leave the permissions as they were when the port was installed. The various parts of the mail system are deliberately configured to run as *non root* for security reasons: essentially, if someone can take over the process by eg. a buffer overflow attack, all they get is a process with ordinary user credentials, so limiting the amount of damage they can do. /var/milter-greylist has to be writable by the UID milter-greylist runs as, and the best way of doing that is to give that UID ownership of the directory.

Standard practice on this list is to reply to both the list and the original sender. That's because: - the list is open to all -- it's pointed out as one of the first places to look for support in the standard Message of the Day (/etc/motd) which will be about the first thing you see when logging into a newly installed FreeBSD system. So many of the questioners may well not be subscribed to the list. - replies to questions should always be copied to the list, as they will then be archived in several places around the net (not least http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/) That collected knowledge is a very valuable resource which you should always search to make sure that your questions haven't been asked and answered before now. The two messages you're seeing are the direct reply to you and (the one with the extra footer) the reply delivered via the list. There's several ways of avoiding having to plough through everything twice. First (and most obviously) you can alter your subscription settings via Mailman. Go to: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions Then type in your subscription e-mail address in the last text box on that page and click the button beside it that says 'Unsubscribe or edit options'. On the next page, type in the password you used when you originally subscribed and click on 'Log in'. On the next page, scroll down until you see the 'Avoid duplicate copies of messages?' entry. Click 'Yes' on the radio button to the righ hand side, then click 'Submit My Changes'. Et Voilà. There are also tricks you can do with procmail to achive the same effect. But I'll leave describing that for another day -- it's easy enough to find out how by googling and reading man pages.

What you just did was zero out the bootcode portion of the MBR (which is fine if you don't multiboot) and initialize the partition table of the MBR to read just one FreeBSD slice covering the entire disk (also fine if you only had one FreeBSD partition there to begin with). What this means is that any other slices you had on the disk will be gone. I don't know what disk layout you had, but something tells me that you may have erased /usr, /var and /tmp (if you used the default fdisk layout when installing FreeBSD, that is).

Thanks, This is certainly possible, or, at least by my reading of various files, it should be possible. See the mail/sendmail port -- particularly files/site.config.m4.ldap and Makefile for details. I think that what you need to do is: - install one of the net/openldap2{2,1}-{sasl-,}client ports according to taste - edit the /etc/make.conf settings and append: '-I/usr/local/include -DLDAPMAP' to SENDMAIL_CFLAGS '-L/usr/local/lib' to SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS (if it isn't there already) '-lldap -llber' to SENDMAIL_LDADD Then recompile and reinstall sendmail. There's plenty in /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README on how to configure sendmail to use its LDAP support once it has it. I think, but I'm not at all sure, that you should configure sendmail with both SASL and LDAP support for best results. I'd be interested in hearing how you get on with this -- plus it would probably be a good note to add to the default make.conf file. Alternatively, you can just install the mail/sendmail-ldap port.

I don't know what disk layout you had, but something tells me that you may have erased /usr, /var and /tmp (if you used the default fdisk layout when installing FreeBSD, that is). I'm no expert, but I think this _can_ lead to complications. Note that BIOS partitions are not the same as BSD partitions. The former is known as slices in BSD. fdisk -BI /dev/da0 will initialize the disk for one *slice* covering the whole disk. BSD partitions inside this slice will not be afflicted, so /usr, /var and /tmp are probably still intact as well :) If there were other slices on the disk (bios partitions) the original partition table may be recovered using sysutils/gpart.

4.10 startup sequencing
Hello all, Since 4.10 doesn't use /etc/rc.d to merge standard and local startup sequencing, I'm wondering what the right way is to get a daemon to start up before one of the standard daemons. Specifically, I would like to start a milter before sendmail. I know it will work if started afterwards, or at least it seems to, but I would like to get rid of the WARNING message posted to the console at startup because the socket isn't present when sendmail starts. I don't see a way to do this short of modifying /etc/rc. Is there a better way, or should I just live with the warning until upgrading to 5.x, where /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d sequencing hints are merged?

vmware3 and spontanious reboots
I run vmware3 on a FreeBSD-4.10p3 system. I have a Duron-800 processor, so it's a rather slow machine. I have experienced about five sudden reboots, which are unexplained to me. They all happened while my virtual win98se had heavy disk activity. Sometimes transfering files, sometimes while I wanted to start up mozilla in X, outside the vm. It looks like something goes wrong accessing the harddisk. Recently I rebuilded my kernel with HZ=1200 and changed the vmware config file to have vmnet1, vmnet2 etc... The virtual machines are configered ethernet=custom -- /dev/vmnetx I wonder: could it be that the instability of my system has something to do with the changed HZ=1200 (default hz=100) or is it better to have a HostOnly vm-machine on /dev/vmnet1 or what? Could somebody suggest me some things to look into, figuring out this strange behaviour.

passwordless ssh logins _STILL_ not working - help needed.
I am trying to allow _all users_ on CLIENT to login to SERVER without a password. IMPORTANT: I am not interested in user keys _at all_ - at no point in this process should I ever be dealing with any keys in /home/user/.ssh - I am only interested in doing this with HOST keys - where I copy one key between SERVER and CLIENT, and _all_ users on CLIENT can login to SERVER without a password. Don't even mention user keys. My /etc/sshd/sshd_config is exactly the same on both SERVER and CLIENT: #VersionAddendum FreeBSD-20020629 #Port 22 #Protocol 2,1 #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 #ListenAddress :: # Authentication: IgnoreRhosts yes #RhostsRSAAuthentication no HostbasedAuthentication yes IgnoreUserKnownHosts yes ChallengeResponseAuthentication no Further, SERVER has CLIENT in its /etc/hosts.equiv, and CLIENT has SERVER in its /etc/hosts.equiv Finally, I have copied the output of /etc/sshd/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub on each system to /etc/ssh/known_hosts on the other system. The permissions on /etc/ssh/known_hosts on each system are: 2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel So that's it. The options are set in sshd_config, the keys have been exchanged, hosts.equiv are populated and permissions are correct. SO now I go to CLIENT and run: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I get a password prompt!!! So what am I doing wrong ? Again - NO user keys are used and I am not interested in user keys _AT ALL_. DOn't even mention the /home/user/.ssh directory. The goal here is to share one public key between SERVER and CLIENT and allow _all_ users on CLIENT to log into SERVER without a password.

My question is: Where can I find information on programming for FreeBSD? Things like how it differs from Windows, what it can and can't do, how to develop for X/KDE. I am good with C and C++, and know my way around gcc/make, but I don't know about system and 'net API calls that are specific to FreeBSD, and *NIX in general.

Re: dummynet
yeah it kinda seems broken. i can see the pipes being hit by traffic, but no bandwidth limitation is done whatsoever. I tried specifying dedicated port based pipes, that didn't work, I tried using queues for port specification while specifying pipes with the the same port numbers, that didn't work. I tried connecting pipes to the queues, no result as well. for example, to limit outgoing ftp, I tried this, ${fwcmd} add pipe 6 tcp from ${oip} 21 to any out xmit ${oif} ${fwcmd} pipe 6 config bw $2Kbit/s no effect. ${fwcmd} add pipe 6 tcp from ${oip} 21 to any out xmit ${oif} ${fwcmd} pipe 6 config bw $2Kbit/s ${fwcmd} add queue 6 tcp from ${oip} 21 to any out no effect. ${fwcmd} add pipe 6 tcp from ${oip} 21 to any out xmit ${oif} ${fwcmd} pipe 6 config bw $2Kbit/s ${fwcmd} add queue 6 tcp from ${oip} 21 to any out ${fwcmd} queue 6 config pipe 6 setsockopt error. I guess it craps out when trying to bind queue to the pipe.

Re: dummynet
try this, it works for me. ${fwcmd} add pipe 1 { tcp or udp } from ${oip} to any 21 ${fwcmd} pipe 1 config mask src-ip 0x00ff bw 128Kbit/s queue 20Kbytes You can set the 128Kbit/s to anything but I'm not sure I'd use 2Kbit/s. You may need to play with the 0x00ff. Just install whatmask from /usr/ports/net-mgmt/whatmask Regards On Sun, 2004-10-17 at 23:49, synrat wrote: yeah it kinda seems broken. i can see the pipes being hit by traffic, but no bandwidth limitation is done whatsoever. I tried specifying dedicated port based pipes, that didn't work, I tried using queues for port specification while specifying pipes with the the same port numbers, that didn't work. I tried connecting pipes to the queues, no result as well. for example, to limit outgoing ftp, I tried this, ${fwcmd} add pipe 6 tcp from ${oip} 21 to any out xmit ${oif} ${fwcmd} pipe 6 config bw $2Kbit/s no effect. ${fwcmd} add pipe 6 tcp from ${oip} 21 to any out xmit ${oif} ${fwcmd} pipe 6 config bw $2Kbit/s ${fwcmd} add queue 6 tcp from ${oip} 21 to any out no effect. ${fwcmd} add pipe 6 tcp from ${oip} 21 to any out xmit ${oif} ${fwcmd} pipe 6 config bw $2Kbit/s ${fwcmd} add queue 6 tcp from ${oip} 21 to any out ${fwcmd} queue 6 config pipe 6 setsockopt error. I guess it craps out when trying to bind queue to the pipe.

pam_ldap authentication based on pam_groupdn

RE: terminal emulation mode
If your using Telnet the term variable is automatically set. If you want to change it you need to fix your telnet program. If your connecting ASCII terminals via serial cable this is already covered in the instructions for setting up a serial terminal. If you have a broken Telnet program you will have to set the term variable manually during the user's login script.

RAID in FreeBSD
According to the handbook it says: The twe driver provides support for the following series of ATA RAID con- trollers: o Escalade 3W-5x00 o Escalade 3W-6x00 o Escalade 3W-7x00 o Escalade 3W-8x00 These devices support 2, 4 or 8 ATA disk drives and provide RAID0 (strip- ing) and RAID1 (mirroring) functionality. I am considering buying a 3Ware Escalade 7506-4LP Kit, 4 port low profile ATA 133 PCI 64/66 RAID Controller to use RAID5. The card supports level 5, my question is, is RAID5 supported on FreeBSD? Does anyone have experience with this card good or bad? Are there any other suggestions for lowcost IDE RAID5?

Are these attempts by password crackers??
Hello users. I run several 5.2.1 boxes (in production). For weeks now, I have seen alot of notifications from periodic/daily with the output below and I have questions: 1. Is this some virus or some crackers playing around? 2. Why only on 5.2.1 systems and not on any of the 4.10 boxes that I also run? 3. Am I supposed to be worried at all? Well, I am not ;) I hate the messages though and there must be something here that I need to do. cut Oct 17 10:44:10 gw sshd[4170]: Failed password for nobody from 210.80.96.185 port 52215 ssh2 Oct 17 10:44:19 gw sshd[4172]: Failed password for patrick from 210.80.96.185 port 52337 ssh2 Oct 17 10:44:28 gw sshd[4174]: Failed password for patrick from 210.80.96.185 port 52455 ssh2 Oct 17 10:44:37 gw sshd[4176]: Failed password for root from 210.80.96.185 port 52568 ssh2 Oct 17 10:44:47 gw sshd[4178]: Failed password for root from 210.80.96.185 port 52691 ssh2 Oct 17 10:44:56 gw sshd[4180]: Failed password for root from 210.80.96.185 port 52807 ssh2 Oct 17 10:45:04 gw sshd[4182]: Failed password for root from 210.80.96.185 port 52916 ssh2 Oct 17 10:45:13 gw sshd[4187]: Failed password for root from 210.80.96.185 port 53024 ssh2 Oct 17 10:45:48 gw sshd[4196]: Failed password for cyrus from 210.80.96.185 port 53430 ssh2 Oct 17 10:45:57 gw sshd[4198]: Failed password for www from 210.80.96.185 port 53541 ssh2 Oct 17 10:47:08 gw sshd[4218]: Failed password for mysql from 210.80.96.185 port 7 ssh2 Oct 17 10:47:17 gw sshd[4220]: Failed password for operator from 210.80.96.185 port 56448 ssh2 Oct 17 10:48:09 gw sshd[4232]: Failed password for root from 210.80.96.185 port 60881 ssh2 Oct 17 10:48:18 gw sshd[4234]: Failed password for root from 210.80.96.185 port 33508 ssh2 Oct 17 10:48:27 gw sshd[4236]: Failed password for root from 210.80.96.185 port 34356 ssh2 Oct 17 10:48:36 gw sshd[4239]: Failed password for jane from 210.80.96.185 port 34809 ssh2 Oct 17 10:48:54 gw sshd[4243]: Failed password for root from 210.80.96.185 port 36507 ssh2 Oct 17 10:49:08 gw sshd[4245]: Failed password for root from 210.80.96.185 port 37354 ssh2 Oct 17 19:28:05 gw sshd[5759]: Failed password for nobody from 200.251.13.5 port 50990 ssh2 Oct 17 19:28:12 gw sshd[5761]: Failed password for patrick from 200.251.13.5 port 51106 ssh2 Oct 17 19:28:19 gw sshd[5763]: Failed password for patrick from 200.251.13.5 port 51210 ssh2 Oct 17 19:28:26 gw sshd[5765]: Failed password for root from 200.251.13.5 port 51321 ssh2 Oct 17 19:28:33 gw sshd[5767]: Failed password for root from 200.251.13.5 port 51421 ssh2 Oct 17 19:28:40 gw sshd[5769]: Failed password for root from 200.251.13.5 port 51518 ssh2 Oct 17 19:28:47 gw sshd[5771]: Failed password for root from 200.251.13.5 port 51618 ssh2 Oct 17 19:28:54 gw sshd[5773]: Failed password for root from 200.251.13.5 port 51716 ssh2 Oct 17 19:29:22 gw sshd[5781]: Failed password for cyrus from 200.251.13.5 port 52077 ssh2 Oct 17 19:29:29 gw sshd[5783]: Failed password for www from 200.251.13.5 port 52166 ssh2 /cut http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +==+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington[EMAIL PROTECTED] Zzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +==+ Eighty percent of air pollution comes from plants and trees. -- Ronald Reagan, famous movie star ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
