Re: PAWS security vulnerability
Ted, I don't know your experience lately with people on this or any other list, but that last personal attack was WAY out of line. I am not a Troll, nor have I ever been one. I use freeBSD extensively on hundreds of servers, but I am not a FreeBSD source contributor. Yes, I was shown this "vulnerability" by our network security person, read it over, and thought that it might be a legitimate exploit. I even picked up on the fact that Microsoft had already patched it in the service pack 2, which may mean that it was under wraps for a while, and was suspicious. So, after doing a little research on the net myself and not finding much, I decided to post something to the list to see if anyone had heard anything about it, and if the FreeBSD commiters were working on a possible patch. Maybe I wrote my post wrong, but it didn't deserve you biting my fucking head off. Now, you'll probably start in on "well, if you run that many servers, then why don't you know what you're doing?". I do know what I'm doing. I would very well be able to apply your patch,and compile a new system. Problem is, I'm afraid I don't quite understand the vulnerability enough to properly test what it is supposed to fix... I would first need a way to break it, and then after applying your patch, verify that I couldn't break it any longer. If I knew how to break it, then I would be a better programmer than you, which I am not, and have never claimed to be. From the description of the issue, it sounds like a single cleverly made TCP packet with a bogus timestamp on it could take down ALL of the TCP commections to that machine. To quote the article : "A large value is set by the attacker as the packet timestamp. When the target computer processes this packet, the internal timer is updated to the large attacker supplied value. This causes all other valid packets that are received subsequent to an attack to be dropped as they are deemed to be too old, or invalid." That sounds like it is pretty serious to me. One packet takes down ALL TCP services to the machine. You make it sound like its no big deal...Is it valid ? I don't know. I never claimed to know. I wasn't crying wolf here, just asking... So, my statement of "I'm not sure I have the ability to test out your patch." should really have been, "I don't have the knowledge enough of the vulnerability to test whether or not your patch works." And I would hardly consider "If it works, I would submit it to the security list" as some sort of command that I was supposed to follow. After reading that email, I thought that you were going to submit it to the security list. After all, its your fucking patch. I am slowly working my way into the community, and would love to help with these kind of things. But, like many other busy sys admins, I don't have a whole lot of spare time to work on things like this. Yes, if it was a serious problem enough to where I had to have a patch right away, I might have to devote some work time and give it a try for the team. I'm not sure that I know how serious it is, as I've already stated that I don't fully understand the supposed "vulnerability". I hardly made any kind of desparate demands for someone to quickly make me a patch. You might want to go re-read those posts... I can understand why you may have suspected troll because of the vague questions, but man, you flew off the handle awefully quick. Maybe you just need a vacation. You bashed OpenBSD for their knee jerk reactions, and I think you just made a big one... Tim. Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Hi Tim, If you don't have the ability to test out the patch then LEARN!

RE: PAWS security vulnerability
Hi Tim, If you don't have the ability to test out the patch then LEARN! As the advisory said "no known exploits have been released" I also noticed that the only 2 vendors listed as implementing a fix were Cisco and Microsoft. And Microsoft was NOT on the problem list for ANY of their patched OSs.

In theory, any flat-key lock can be picked in less than a minute (I've seen it done that fast, and done it myself somewhat more slowly) but that does not stop millions of them from being sold at Home Depot every year. If people went to a different type of lock that was much harder to pick then the burglar might not break in by picking the lock - but instead by kicking in the door which has the side effect of destroying the door and frame, and there's a couple thousand bucks lost right there fixing that - and if all the burgler does is steal a $200 TV set, then your better off with the pickable lock. The point is that any change in the networking code may have side effects that are worse than the problem. I posted the patch in order to head off a big long dumbass trashing discussion, because I suspected you were trolling - but I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. If you were really concerned - such as if you worked for some company that had some stick-up-their-ass security officer that was bigger than his britches, and you had to have a fix RIGHT NOW - then this would have allowed you to apply the patch to shut up the bigger-than-britches security officer so you could continue about your business. In the meantime then the networking and security group could have had discussion about the PROPER way to handle this. Probably that's this patch, but maybe not. Now I find what? Well, it surely looks to me like I just spoiled your troll, so your going to pretend it was no big deal, make a lame-ass excuse about how you really didn't need the patch anyway and can't apply it because your incompetent, and fade into the woodwork. I told you to post the patch and info to the appropriate FreeBSD security lists, and you aren't the least bit interested in doing what I told you. Why - because you were only interested in this silly hypothetical PAWS exploit as long as nobody could say "FreeBSD has a fix, shut up and apply it", so you can go urinate on the parade here. Now I just handed you a urinal, and your going to run away and pee on someone else. I don't want to see a fucking thing more from you unless it's: "Guys, I DID WHAT I WAS TOLD TO DO and went to the FreeBSD security and networking mailing lists and posted what I was given and this is what they said" If you aren't willing to lift a finger to do that, your a fucking troll. Don't waste anyone else's time here. Next time you ask for code, you better check out the going hourly rate for custom programming.

Are you using InnoDB and O_DIRECT (which supposedly bypasses most disk caching)? Have you tried an EXPLAIN on your select to see if it's effecient?

Can't run natd after upgrade to 5.4
After keeping an eye on the stable- list for a couple of weeks, I hadn't seen any threads that were obviously general problems, so I cvsupped again yesterday. Did a regular build world: "make buildworld" "make buildkernel KERNCONFIG=KEPLER" "make installkernel KERNCONFIG=KEPLER" "make installworld" "mergemaster" "reboot". OK, the machine is running, uname -a returns FreeBSD 5.4 STABLE #2. ??? That's funny, this is the first time I've compiled this kernel, shouldn't that be #0? Oh well, everything seems all right, until I go to one of the client machines and try to get on the World Wide Web. "Trying to resolve..." Hit the STOP button. To cut it short, I discoverthat natd is not running. In the boot-up messages I see "ipfw ... divert disabled..." My rule "100 divert natd all from any to any via ed0" isn't being added. natd won't run. Try entering "ipfw add 50 divert natd all from any to any via ed0", I get the message: ipfw: getsockopt(IP_FW_ADD): Invalid argument". Look back at my configuration file. Sure enough, at the bottom are options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT just like it says in the natd man page, just like they've been for years. Spend a couple of hours searching google. I find a couple of similar problems, but nobody describes the solution. So I cvsup back to 5.3 and rebuild everything. No effect. natd won't run, same error message when I try to add the divert rule. So at this point I nuke the contents of /usr/src and start cvsup again (well, I did save my configuration file). Now I'm starting to buildworld again. Can anybody tell me how to fix this? I'd kind of like to know what went wrong, too, but that's less important to me.

Non-identical CPUs in dual-processor system
Hello all, I have a dual-processor system that I have been using with only a single CPU for some time. Recently I got ahold of another CPU from an old retired system. I thought that both processors were identical (they came from what appears to be the same model PC, an HP Kayak XU). However, after booting the system I see that the processors are not the same: CPU information in mptable output: Processors: APIC ID Version State Family Model StepFlags 0 0x11BSP, usable 6 3 3 0x80fbff 1 0x11AP, usable 6 5 2 0x183fbff (sorry for the long lines) In this output you can see that the model for CPU0 is 3, but for CPU 1 it is 5. Also, the flags are different. Are there likely to be any adverse effects from using this combination of processors? There are no errors in dmesg, and the system appears to be using both processors: ... CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (266.08-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x633 Stepping = 3 Features=0x80fbff ...

Re: NTP issues with 5.4 (SOLVED) (fwd)
I wrote: Hello, I run ntpd in daemon mode on several FreeBSD computers and synchronize with 'ntpd -q' all others. I've just updated one machine to 5.4 (from 5.3) and noticed the daemon was unhappy, often logging 'time reset' and resynchronizing with peers. On other machines I also only recently (after the upgrade to 5.4) see ntp problems - 'ntpd -q' gets stuck and time goes off. The machines were all fine before. I searched the web and archives and found some more people complaining about similar issues but I haven't found any good answer. At first I thought it was happening only on SMP computers but it isn't the case. The machines have all kinds of timecounters - ACPI-fast, ACPI-safe and i8254. I'd like to let you all know that I don't think the problem is as widespread as I originally thought. After tens of restarts of ntpd processes I've never experienced any problem synchronizing.

What is the best option looking to the future, that is usable for now? We are looking for data safety over speed. You might set up a RAID10, which is a stripe across two mirrors. Mirrors are the best way to preserve data -- very simple to implement, and if a disk crashes, rebuild is just a matter of copying data from the known good disk. If RAID10 is too complicated, I'd say set up a pair of RAID1 volumes via gmirror. That will give you 400G total data. It is not the best way to utilize your capacity, but then, I assume you have 200G drives because disk is cheap these days.

nForce 4, SATA Drive only runs at UDMA33?
Hi, I've got a new machine and don't think I'm getting all the speed out of it that I should be. Any hints/ideas for what I can do to make the most of my new hardware? FreeBSD 5.4-Release Shuttle SN25P Nvidia NForce 4 with SATA 150 WD Raptor HD I ran atacontrol and it reports: # atacontrol list ATA channel 0: Master: ad0 ATA/ATAPI revision 7 Slave: acd0 ATA/ATAPI revision 6 ATA channel 1: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 2: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 3: Master: ad6 Serial ATA v1.0 Slave: no device present ATA channel 4: Master: no device present Slave: no device present ATA channel 5: Master: no device present Slave: no device present # atacontrol mode 3 Master = UDMA33 Slave = BIOSPIO It looks like the standard IDE port is being detected as the nForce4 but the SATA controllers aren't - they just get labelled "GENERIC".

Use pkg_which from the portupgrade package to do this (see the manpage). Kris pgpiCA8voenv2.pgp Description: PGP signature

You can use pkg_which (part of portupgrade) to identify files that are not registered by any package in /var/db/pkg, and then try to work out which package installed them.

Re: PAWS security vulnerability
Ted,
thanks for taking a look at this. I'm not sure I have the ability to
test out your patch. Maybe someone else on this fine list can ?
But this sounds like a pretty severe DOS issue that seems to be
relatively simple to implement.
Do you know if the 5.x branch is affected by this as well ?

Re: dsl setup
Presuming your dsl provider doesn't use a username and password to connect (something called PPPoE), then you can just connect using DHCP and you'll be on. The more likely scenario is that they do indeed use PPPoE, so you'll need to install the pppoe client, set up your username and password, then connect. I would strong suggest using a third option, which would be to purchase a hardware dsl router that will make setting this up much simpler, allow you to share your connection with other users simply enough, and add an additional layer of protection. This will allow you to use DHCP to get an IP address and not have to worry about a PPPoE client.

Where configurations get saved can vary slightly. Ports using the OPTIONS system get their configurations saved under /var/db/ports/.

I'd like to only have to download these once too. You can do like I do and let /usr/ports/distfiles be a symlink to another directory, which is then exported via NFS separately from /usr/ports. Another options is to download all the distfiles in advance to the server. (Just cd to the port you wish to build and issue a 'make checksum-recursive' and all the distfiles needed to build that port (and any port it depends on) will be downloaded and the checksums checked. This assumes you are only using default build options - otherwise there might be additional patches that need to be downloaded.) > > > >(Changing WKRDIRPREFIX also makes it a lot easier and faster to clean > >up after building ports.

If you want to really make sure things are cleaned you will have to do an 'make rmconfig' as well to make sure any configuration options stored under /var/db/ports are removed as well (unless of course you want to keep those configuration settings around till next time you build the port.) > > The other advantage of all this of course is that I would only need to > do CVSup once and every machine would be up to date. -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That is exactly why the FreeBSD ports system was created. The idea behind ports is that 'unknowledgeable user' who I will refer to as a UU, can go to the ports, flick a switch (type make install) and whala- instantly the GPL licensed libraries that the FSF wants to prevent you from distributing with your nasty BSD stuff, are FTP'ed from whatever dark hole that they come from, the nasty BSD stuff is FTP'ed from wherever it comes from, the mixmaster is turned on at high speed and Bing! Instantly the UU has your intermixed program, while you have neatly avoided the little trap that the FSF has built to prevent UU's from getting ahold of nasty intermixed stuff! The result is the same as if you build your program, and thoughtfully distribute intermixed source for your UUs - which runs afoul of the FSF's daffynition of distribution. The FSF never envisioned that someone would actually go to the trouble of creating something like the FreeBSD ports software when they wrote the GPL, so they fortunately didn't define that kind of distribution mechanism in their license's definition of "distribution" But you can bet that if they had known Ports was coming, they would have written language proscribing that kind of distribution in the GPL. Another more obvious note is that the 'configure' script doesen't have that fetching capability in it - although it would be trivial to add.

/etc/make.conf weirdness
Hi,
This is probably a user problem (me), but why is it that when I put this
in /etc/make.conf:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/multimedia/transcode}
WITH_DIVX5=yes WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes
.endif
and build transcode, it will only receive WITH_DIVX5 and not the other flag.
and if I put this instead:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/multimedia/transcode}
WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes WITH_DIVX5=yes
.endif
it will receive WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS and not the other again?
Same with all the ports such as :
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/multimedia/mplayer}
WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=yes WITHOUT_RUNTIME_CPUDETECTION \
WITH_RTC=yes WITH_LIBUNGIF=yes WITH_ARTS=yes \
WITH_FRIBIDI=yes WITH_CDPARANOIA=yes WITH_LIBDV=yes\
WITH_MAD=yes WITH_SVGALIB=yes WITH_AALIB=yes WITH_THEORA=yes\
WITH_SDL=yes WITH_ESOUND=yes WITH_VORBIS=yes WITH_XANIM=yes \
WITH_LIVEMEDIA=yes WITH_MATROSKA=yes WITH_XVID=yes WITH_LZO=yes \
WITH_XMMS=yes
.endif
will only receive WITH OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS.
Any way around this?
Nicolas.

Re: Dual monitors xorg.conf
I have Xinerama working with two HP P1110 monitors and a single Matrox G450 dual-head card. The only problem I have is that the system dual-boots MS Windows XP Pro and if I don't do a cold reboot after running XP I sometimes get artifacts (for example, the borders around Firefox running under KDE gets random colors). So far shutting down, powering off, and booting has solved that problem. This is under 5.4-RELEASE/STABLE. I'm about to switch to an ATI Radeon 9600 AIW dual-head card, which should be interesting to set up.

FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, PHP 5, MySQL 4.1 (and ftpd)
Hi there, I have two trivial questions: 1. I've just installed these packages on my fresh 5.4-RELEASE system using "pkg_add -r": * apache-1.3.33_1 * mysql-server-4.1.10a * php5-5.0.3_2 However, since php5-mysqli isn't in the 5.4-RELEASE packages collection, I can't install php5-mysqli, and therefore PHP 5 is of no use for me. I've updated my ports collection using cvsup, however php5-mysqli requires php5- 5.0.4. Anyway, is there any way that I can install these packages from either the ports or the packages collection, or should I switch the whole system to 5- STABLE? Since I'm using a customized kernel, it'd be much easier for me if I could just use the packages collection. 2. I uncommented the necessary lines in /etc/inetd.conf to allow ftpd, but I still can't connect to localhost using FTP. What else do I need to do to run the FTP daemon?

Firewire Support on 4.11 ?

I'ld use an external hard disk on a server of mine, and since USB 2.0 support is not available in FBSD 4.x, I'ld try with firewire. (I can't install 5.4-R on it) Any suggestion or hint ? Are there some recommended FW chipsets or something to avoid ? (I was thinking about Lacie's FW 400 PCI card) I'm interested in external HD's support, any other FW use is not in my needs right now (DV, ethernet, etc.) As said, *any* hint is more than welcome ! :-) Many thanks in advance! -- bye!

I don't know anything about pkgdb, but the information that pkg_info returns is stored in /var/db/pkg, and options set via the OPTIONS system in ports are stored in /var/db/ports. If you were to use portupgrade (which most people seem to use, but which I don't use) things might be different - I don't know.

FreeBSD 5.3 Boot issues
Hi Below is the output from dmesg.boot I have some questions: 1. re: 802.11a This system has been built in a mini ATX case and has a Proxim Harmony 802.11a Model 8150 PCI card on (I am on a boat - then intention is to be able to disconnect it from the ships network, lug it to a position in range of a wireless network and do a portupgrade as the need arises ). Is this card recognized by freebsd. Is there a suitable driver? How do I set it up? 2. Uhicio [GIANT LOCKED] What does this mean? 3. (da1:umass-sim0:0:0:1): Unretryable error What is the significance if any of these lines? 4. I want to use energy saving (mainly to protect the drive from unnecessary risk of damage in rough weather) to turn off the hard drive when access is not required. How do I do that?

It works great here. You don't have to worry about settings because they aren't stored in /usr/ports.

If WRKDIRPREFIX is set to a directory on a local filesystem there will be no way for a build on one system to affect one on another. You should even be able to export /usr/ports as read-only. If it was read-only, where would the source files that usually go into /usr/ports/distfiles go? I'd like to only have to download these once too. (Changing WKRDIRPREFIX also makes it a lot easier and faster to clean up after building ports. Instead of having to issue a 'make clean' for each port built, you can just do a 'rm -fr /var/workdir/*' and all the workdirs will be removed quickly.) I usually do a 'make install clean' anyway, but it would be good to be able to verify everything is actually cleaned. The other advantage of all this of course is that I would only need to do CVSup once and every machine would be up to date.

Re: Rewinding tapes
I've written a small script that backs up data to a tape, rewinds it, then reads back the data that was stored as a test.

Is there a way to find out when the tape has finished rewinding, or at least to rewind synchronously? The drive is an ATA Seagate STT2401A. Can you use "mt status" along with the appropriate *.ctl device? From the man page... Print status information about the tape unit. For SCSI mag- netic tape devices, the current operating modes of density, blocksize, and whether compression is enabled is reported. The current state of the driver (what it thinks that it is doing with the device) is reported. If the driver knows the relative position from BOT (in terms of filemarks and records), it prints that. Note that this information is not definitive (only BOT, End of Recorded Media, and hardware or SCSI logical block position (if the drive supports such) are considered definitive tape positions). Or maybe rdspos? Read SCSI logical block position. Some drives do not support this. The count argument is ignored. -philip ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
ng_netflow complile problems
Hi all. I've made ng_netflow work on one of my SMP boxes, and now I need to make it work on a UP box...should be fairly simple. I'm trying to compile ng_netflow, and I get the following error: --- ===> ng_netflow "/usr/share/mk/bsd.man.mk", line 53: bsd.man.mk cannot be included directly. *** Error code 1 Stop in /root/netflow/ng_netflow-0.2.5-UP. --- I've grep'ed for "bsd.man.mk" in the Makefiles and all the source and cannot find it. Anyone have any ideas here? I'm at a loss... Thanks in advance, --Brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
