ssl config problem

2006-01-25 Thread Beech Rintoul
I'm trying to set up two virtual ssl websites on Apache2. When I go the the 
first site, it returns the proper cert and everything works as expected. But, 
when I go to the second site it returns the cert from the first site even 
though a different set of certs is specified in ssl.conf. If I comment out 
the first site, the second site works correctly. I've been all through the 
docs on apache.org and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Here's the ssl.conf:

SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin

IfDefine SSL

Listen 443

AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt
AddType application/x-pkcs7-crl    .crl

SSLPassPhraseDialog  builtin

IPFW / NFSD

2006-01-25 Thread Mark Frasa

Hello,

I am currently running 1 HTTP server on FreeBSD 6.0

Offcourse, like anyone that likes security, i am running IPFW and set 
the kernel to block by default.


Behind that HTTP server i am running 2 Linux boxes.

The problem is that when i enable the firewall and openup ports from 
rpcinfo -p:

I opened up all these ports but i cant do an ls or write to nfs or whatever.
Then i thought maybe it's trying something local so i added:

$cmd add 00225 allow ip from 1.2.3.4/24 to any keep-state

Even this does not work.

Tcpdump shows me that when i have ipfw open, it only communicates with 
port 2049 and i don't see anything more.


Can anybody help me out here?

 You ask such a question without saying anything about what NIC

Forgot to mention that I tried about 5 diffrent NIC's, and 3 or 4

Sorry about that...

I've thought about shutting the machine down with acpiconf to, but
since I'm using older systems, which don't have ACPI, I can't use

Because of the way SSL works it is not possible to use different SSL certs 
for name-based virtual hosts. You will have to use unique IP addresses

My setup wouldn't work as gif0 has a MTU of 1280.

Upgrade sendmail via ports - version in smtp greeting doesn't match

2006-01-25 Thread Barry Byrne
All:

Not a major issue, but I've upgraded sendmail on a 4.11 box via the ports.
All appears to be working, but if I look at the SMTP greeting, the version
of sendmail or the config version is incorrect. The latter version (8.13.1)
would have been the version prior to the port upgrade.

220 mail.domain.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.5/8.13.1;

From memory, I think the first number is the sendmail version and the second
the config version.

I've done the make all, make install, make install-cf etc. from /etc/mail
and also done a make mailer.conf from the sendmail ports directory. 

Any help on what I should do here would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Barry

My understanding was that portsnap would delete any local changes in the

You should not be running portmap and NFS on a firewall machine.  You should not
attempt to pass NFS or other filesharing through a firewall, except perhaps by
using VPN tunneling.

If this existing machine needs to do NFS to your other Linux boxes, it should be
placed behind a properly hardened firewall which perhaps uses NAT to forward
HTTP connections inside to it.

forum software / hosting

2006-01-25 Thread Steve Camp
I need to setup a web forum for a friend, and sure could appreciate
some pointers.

Some of my questions/issues include:

1)  Which forum software runs on FreeBSD?

By forum software, I am referring to programs such as 

o phpBB
o vBulletin by Jelsoft

2)  Suggestions for hosting services

At a recent Colorado SAGE meeting, a fellow told me that hosting
services exist where I can get a virtual Linux box for $20/month
or so.  I specify how much physical memory, disk space etc. that I
need, and I get a virtual Linux system, but for all intents and
purposes, it looks and acts like it's own system.

Does FreeBSD have any similar ability to virtualize?
Are any hosting services offering FreeBSD servers for as little as
$15-25 / month?  If not, for how little $/month might I find a
FreeBSD server hosted by someone else?  Recommendations of hosting
services welcome.

3)  Is anyone familiar with web forum software?  Can you point me to
any of: 

o Usenet groups
o Web forums for forum admins
o rules of thumb for estimating bandwidth requirements /
  system sizing for estimated numbers of users?
  
Many thanks,

Let me explain more into detail;

I have:

INTERNET

FIREWALL/NFSD/HTTPD Machine

LINUXBOXLINUXBOX

The boxes are on a /24 network and the firewall has 2 ip's 1 for local 
and 1 for outside connections, but both in the same subnet.


I want to use a $secure ip for nfsd and ssh connection, while using 
@arcas as an ip for port 80 connections


What i don't get is when i openup the $secureip for the /24 network i 
still get timeouts when writing to nfsd.

FreeBSD supports several different programming languages - including 
PHP. Any kind of forum software that is programmed in these supported 
languages should be able to run without too much effort on a FreeBSD 
system. If you do you something free/open source like phpBB, be sure to 
keep it up to date and patched. It's a common target for script kiddies 
once an exploit has been found.

   or so.  I specify how much physical memory, disk space etc. that I
   need, and I get a virtual Linux system, but for all intents and
   purposes, it looks and acts like it's own system.

   Does FreeBSD have any similar ability to virtualize?
   Are any hosting services offering FreeBSD servers for as little as
   $15-25 / month?  If not, for how little $/month might I find a
   FreeBSD server hosted by someone else?  Recommendations of hosting
   services welcome.
 

It sounds like you're talking about VPS's, or Virtual Private Servers. 
These are becoming very common-place n the Internet. This link should 
get you started:

3)  Is anyone familiar with web forum software?  Can you point me to
   any of: 


   o Usenet groups
o Web forums for forum admins
o rules of thumb for estimating bandwidth requirements /
  system sizing for estimated numbers of users?
	  
 

Forums take up very little space and bandwidth in general, but as always 
it depends on what you use it for and what you allow your clients to do 
with it. If you're just running a default install, a couple MB should 
get you covered.

RE: Upgrade sendmail via ports - version in smtp greeting doesn't match

2006-01-25 Thread Barry Byrne
Seem to have solved this. Not sure it's the correct thing to do, but
modified the Makefile in /etc/mail by adding a check for
/usr/local/share/sendmail/cf for the config files. 

Seems to be OK now.

 Subject: Upgrade sendmail via ports - version in smtp

 All:
 
 Not a major issue, but I've upgraded sendmail on a 4.11 box 
 via the ports.
 All appears to be working, but if I look at the SMTP 
 greeting, the version
 of sendmail or the config version is incorrect. The latter 
 version (8.13.1)
 would have been the version prior to the port upgrade.
 
   220 mail.domain.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.5/8.13.1;
 
 From memory, I think the first number is the sendmail 
 version and the second
 the config version.
 
 I've done the make all, make install, make install-cf etc. 
 from /etc/mail
 and also done a make mailer.conf from the sendmail ports directory. 
 
 Any help on what I should do here would be appreciated.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Barry

Re: forum software / hosting

2006-01-25 Thread Martin Tournoy
 1)  Which forum software runs on FreeBSD?

The Operating system doesn't matter, for most forums the webserver
(apache, caudium etc.) needs to have certain modules loaded (php, asp,
etc.) and/or a database server(mysql, bdb, etc.).
Check the program's site to see what is needed, php and mysql are the
most popular at the moment...

 3)  Is anyone familiar with web forum software?  Can you point me to
 any of:

I personly like phpBB, it's been in development for quite some time
and has quite a bit of features and good support.ls/

Re: [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-06:07.pf

2006-01-25 Thread Brian A. Seklecki



III. Impact

By sending carefully crafted sequence of IP packet fragments, a remote
attacker can cause a system running pf with a ruleset containing a
'scrub fragment crop' or 'scrub fragment drop-ovl' rule to crash.

IV.  Workaround

Do not use 'scrub fragment crop' or 'scrub fragment drop-ovl' rules
on systems running pf.  In most cases, such rules can be replaced by
'scrub fragment reassemble' rules; see the pf.conf(5) manual page for


All:

Just to clarify on the syntax, since it's not actually mentioned in 
pf.conf(5):


Per the PF FAQ, a rule:

scrub in all or scrub all

Implies scrub in all fragment reassemble as a default argument/flags to 
scrub when not are specified, and none of the other scrubbing options 
(no-df, random-id, etc.).  This per observation of pfctl -s all:


$ sudo grep -i scrub /etc/pf.conf
scrub in all
$ sudo pfctl -s all | grep -i scrub
scrub in all fragment reassemble

Correct?

To the credit of the FAQ Author, it does state This is the default 
behavior when no fragment option is specified. ... but that still begs 
the question: What are the default scrubbing options, other than fragment 
reassembly, when none are specified?


Might be useful to mention these things in the FAQ and the advisory.

TIA,
~lava


more details.

Systems which do not use pf, or use pf but do not use the aforementioned
rules, are not affected by this issue.

To my knowledge (and the man page), this hasn't changed. But, I suspect 
there are ways around this, if you're willing to think about them. 
Since I haven't made any local changes, I'm happy with portsnap the way

I need to setup a web forum for a friend, and sure could appreciate
some pointers.

Some of my questions/issues include:

1)  Which forum software runs on FreeBSD?

By forum software, I am referring to programs such as 


o phpBB
o vBulletin by Jelsoft


Personally, I HATE working with PHP... not to start flames or anything, call me 
'old-school' if you will, but I prefer to seperate as much of the 'code' from 
the 'presentation' (html) as possible. I use a mod_perl'd version of mwForum 
under Apache, with a MySQL backend for my hosting customers. It allows me to 
setup multiple forums, can do polls/voting/etc, and gives great felxibility to 
'virtually-hosted' forums/communities. Check out 
http://forum.tallyhoamusements.com/ (one of my customers' sites) - for bandwidth 
usages, check out http://forum.tallyhoamusements.com/stats/ to see what that 
forum actually uses. I've hacked some portions of the forum code for 
security/configuration reasons, but mwForum will work pretty much out-of-the-box 
on FreeBSD with Apache; using optimizations for mod_perl are a little trickier - 
but that's where experience pays off.




2)  Suggestions for hosting services

At a recent Colorado SAGE meeting, a fellow told me that hosting
services exist where I can get a virtual Linux box for $20/month

$15-25 / month?  If not, for how little $/month might I find a
FreeBSD server hosted by someone else?  Recommendations of hosting
services welcome.


I looked into a lot of VPS options before I picked my providers; but in the end 
I found it cheaper/easier just to pay for a dedicated server alltogether. I pay 
roughly $100 / Canadian ( ~ $85 USD) per month for a dedicated 2Ghz+ machine w/ 
80GB drive, 512Mb Ram, and 200Gb/month bandwidth. Email me off-list for 
details/providers if you'd like. I have servers currently in Chicago, Toronto, 
and New Jersey - all from different providers.




3)  Is anyone familiar with web forum software?  Can you point me to
any of: 


  o Usenet groups
o Web forums for forum admins
o rules of thumb for estimating bandwidth requirements /
  system sizing for estimated numbers of users?

OK, this works on my cygwin install and I think it's generic enough sh
programming it should work for you. You could expand the MDDEV

read the mdconfig man page and it doesn't seem to have an option to
list all potential devices. You'll also have to change 'echo $DEV' to
whatever means you want to use to return the device from the function.
It's not the most elegant solution, but it works.

MDDEV='md0 md1 md2 md3 md4 md5 md6 md7 md8 md9'
MDOUT=`mdconfig -l`

This depends on what kind of access you want to offer and the need for 
security:


A web only? Then set up a proxy with authentication. Create a website 
for initial registration and maybe allow any connection to a service 
like paypal to receive payments.


If you want to offer more than web-only, then it becomes complicated. 
You can require registered users to authenticate using putty - each user 
is given an account with authpf as shell.


Depending on setup, this may not limit the number of connections to one, 
so you risk that people share their credentials.


I have created a simple setup that relies on mac addresses. IP is 
assigned statically and I maintain a static arp table. All other 
web-address is directed to a default page that shows they don't have access.


The advantage is that users are not bothered with authentication, the 
disadvantage is that mac addresses can be spoofed.


The bad thing is that to make new users aware of the AP it is open and 
unencrypted, so you can get a lease and reach the access-denied page.
But, this also means that any one can start sniffing for valid mac/ip 
address pair and spoof their way to access.


For my single AP with only a few users, I think I should be able to 
catch abuses and if so implement stronger checks.


For security, the proper way would be to issue encryption keys and 
require registered users to open a VPN to the gateway. This will:


- force authentication
- encrypt traffic
- prevent spoofing of traffic
- allow the AP to announce itself and be open

and likely some more goodies. The disadvantage is the complex setup, in 
particular for the novice users, and when people get on other networks 
they might have to reconfigure their computer.

 Some of my questions/issues include:
 
 1)  Which forum software runs on FreeBSD?
 
 By forum software, I am referring to programs such as 
 
 o phpBB
   o vBulletin by Jelsoft

Just wanted to add my input for forum software. Simple Machines Forum
(SMF) is a great, free, and open source forum system that uses
PHP/MySQL. I personally have found it to work the best for me as it
includes lots of features out of the box and an easy theme system.

http://simplemachines.org/

Try out the RC of 1.1 for some even nicer new features like AJAX editing
and enhanced search functions.

P.S. I own a license of vBulletin. In my opinion it's not worth it for
the money. Now if only I had known about SMF before buying vBulletin... :D

	Course, submitting the core dumps to someone may help. There should  
be info in the handbook as to who to give it to. Also, I'll try  
cvsup'ing ports again and compiling stuff since I don't have it  
installed on my FreeBSD box.
	Another thing, are you using custom C[XX]FLAGS and what is your  
actual architecture (i386, amd64, etc)?

If you look on that page FreeBSD 6.1 is, tentatively, set for March
20, 2006, but expect it to ship in April (1st?) because from my

best outboard drive for 5 stable (firewire?)

Perl script help

2006-01-25 Thread Jack Stone
I'm using an old (2001) canned perl script to manage questions to my tech 
site. It is of big help since it can answer common questions from templates 
and a real time saver.


Alas, that time saves is now being diminished by junk mail about cheap drugs 
and I'm trying to figure out how to filter those out of the good questions 
that are submitted by a form to a directory.


I've managed to filter the copy that is sent via sendmail by procmail using 
these tests:

* B ?? .*(cool|site|yousite|(yousite best))
* B ?? .*(http:\/\/.*\.*)|(/a href=*http:\/\/.*\.*/)

However, that still leaves the original stored in the directory that are 
displayed when the admin program is loaded and the questions are matched by 
proper answer template.


Is there any way to insert the same type of tests on those original copies 
in the storage as *.ftf files and just delete them so they aren't there 
when the question manager program is loaded??


I need a couple of perl lines that will either block or delete the questions 
if the body of the question  matches the tests.


Below are the pertinent lines of a sub-process that processes and stores the 
questions submitted via a web form --  ( 
http://www.antennex.com/cgi-bin/qm/Question.cgi ).


# if(open(QUESTION, $Data/questionfiles/$PID.ftf)) {
#   flock(QUESTION, '2');
#   print QUESTION name||$FORM{name}\nemail||$FORM{email}\n;
#   print QUESTION date||$SHOW_TIME on $SHOW_DATE||$time\n\n\n; # 3 new 
lines

#   print QUESTION $FORM{message}\n;
#   close QUESTION;
#   backup($Data/questionfiles/$PID.ftf);
# ...etc., etc.


Any suggestions appreciated.!!

Best regards,
Jack

navigating between html php

2006-01-25 Thread fbsd_user
Hello list.
I am running FreeBSD 6.0/apache 1.3.33_2/php 4.4.0/mysql 4.0.25.
I am beginner in coding php. In past only added php code to
count visitors to home page.
Now I want to build application to host user
web site as directory on my server.
I want to use native html as much as possible in what is
seen by user's browser and keep the real functional php code
in a common file on my server so it does get seen by anyone.

At this point I am just creating the navigation base code to
implement this concept. Below is listed 2 files.
page1.php is the native html page1 passing a form to the
common main.php code workhorse. The idea is main.php will
receive the form from page1.php and process the make dir
and then return to the page1.php to show any errors or
goto page2.php if make dir worked.

In main.php the line to check the dir_name for 0-9 a-z
gives error and I don't know what is wrong.
Also I can not find any function in php manual to
(goto or branch to) the native html page I want.

Is what I am trying to do legal?
Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Building a FreeBSD system.

2006-01-25 Thread Anthony Dematteo
I am interested in building a new computer, with the intention of
running FreeBSD AMD/64.

I am, however haveing trouble finding a mother board with support
listed in the hardware database.  (Mostly for onboard audio)  Is it
reasonable to belive that these audio devices will follow a normal
spec, and the FreeBSD will run them? Is there a good possiblity that
if they are not listed in the hardware.txt that they will not work at
all?  What about onboard ethernet?
Thank you,

mga_hal driver broken under Xorg 6.8.2

2006-01-25 Thread Robert Huff

[original thread on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yesterday I upgraded from Xorg 6.8.2. using portupgrade.
When I rebooted, xdm choked with

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.so: Undefined 
symbol MGAGetBOARDHANDLESize

I got things running using the vesa driver and poked around,
finding this:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2006/01/msg1.html

Sure enough, renaming mga_hal.drv.so fixed the problem.
Looks like the module needs to be rebuilt.

Re: navigating between html php

2006-01-25 Thread Ian Lord

Php is running as a apache mopdule I guess...

So apache will need write access to the folder you are trying to write into...

Just try to make your directory writable by the www user to check 
if this is your problem..


To do so, do into the directory your script is trying to write into

and do something like

chown www:wheel .

or something like that depending on your need...

see man chown

if you are not too sure what you need...

It might be something else that prevents you to write in your 
directory (ie safe mode in php.conf) but without looking at your 
code, it might be a good place to start with...

In main.php the line to check the dir_name for 0-9 a-z

Also I can not find any function in php manual to

Apache not included

2006-01-25 Thread James Munro
I'm a bit of a new user to BSD from Windows/Linux.  But I recently went thru 
the 5.4 version installer and was pleased at how simple it was to install the 
Apache web server thru the sysinstall menus.  After reinstalling with 6.0 I was 
surprised to find that apache wasn't an option from this menu.  
   
  Any ideas if this is an omission or intentional?  I would think a webserver 
would definitely be included in the basic config.

I'm guessing it was intentional.  I can think of a lot of reasons I 
wouldn't want a webserver on my box (desktop, mail server, database

Easy to add though via ports or packages.

Lots of things that are very, very popular and/or useful are not in 
the base system, for lots of good reasons. This is no great hardship 
though, since things are usually quite easy to add on later.


In the past you were probably using the installer feature that lets 
you add 3rd party ported software packages to the base system 
immediately after the base OS is installed. I wasn't aware that the 
prompt for package add-ons had been removed from the installer 
script for 6.0, but I could be wrong. Perhaps you just missed it?


I've a feeling the Handbook may need some updating with regard to 
screen shots but generally what you should have seen is described in 
part 2.9.14 of the Handbook 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-post.html


In any case, the cure is simple if you elected to install the 
framework for the ports collection. Simply


pkg_add -r apache

If you did not install the ports framework when prompted to do so, 
then you will have to configure cvsup or portsnap and sync your 
ports tree before adding apache (or, reinstall and install the ports 
tree and apache during install).

Most AC97 PCI audio devices built on-board with via or nvidia chipsets work -

about intel'd boards/chipsets... but I can easily reccomend almost any MSI, or 
Tyan mainboard with AMD64 or Opteron chips.


On-Board ethernet varies greatly, and depends on the chipset... but again, most 
PCI-based cards/chipsets are supported - there are however exceptions to every 
rule, and some cards (notably the nvidia ethernet afaik - have issues).


Personally (irony to my choice of CPU's) - I stick with nothing but Intel on the 
ethernet side, good old EtherExpress Pro 100/B PCI 10/100 cards on the desktop; 
rock-solid performer without any configuration woes, (least not that I've 
encountered).

I'm using an old (2001) canned perl script to manage questions to my tech

First, this isn't really a FreeBSD question, so you may certainly have 
better luck getting it answered in a Perl-oriented forum (or best, the help 
forum or the original author of the script in question).


[snip]
Is there any way to insert the same type of tests on those original copies 
in the storage as *.ftf files and just delete them so they aren't there 
when the question manager program is loaded??


If I were you I would be looking at the Perl code just before those lines 
that you quoted in your original message. Inspect the content of 
$FORM{message} earlier in the process and use Perl pattern matching to see 
if it contains taboo content. Something like


if ($FORM{message} =~ /taboophrase/) { msgisjunk; }



First, thanks for the tip as it works using exit; which might be enough, 
but would rather do a redirect to a page just in case one of the good guys 
trips over it in their questions. So, I'll try to figure out how to do that 
without further burden to you or this fine, helpful and usually friendly 
list.


With regard to your other remarks about learning perl and OT, there are many 
questions (like shell scripts here today) that don't quite fit. Of course, 
perl is part of the base OS, so it's not far off for the many script gurus I 
know that are here.


I've been a member of this list for several years and have answered dozens 
if not several 100 questions of all kinds that I do know about. Since I 
probably don't ask more than 3 or 4 question a year, I should be entitled to 
ask them vs my contributions. I enjoy helping when I can OT or not.


IMHO, this is one of the best lists to obtain help about scripts when one 
just doen's have to time to learn a whole scripting language. Going to a 
script list isn't very helpful either.


I'm a Jack of all trades, but no master of perl.

Again, thanks for the help -- but, not the lecture though as it was the 
obvious thing to do IF one really had time or the right skill/talent to 
learn a language.

Jack

So apache will need write access to the folder you are trying to

To do so, do into the directory your script is trying to write into

1a) Did you check /var/log/ to see if SMB generated any logs that might

1b) Did you look in event viewer on the XP machine to see if it gave you
any tell-tale information?

2) Read up on encryption in Samba.  In the past when I've encountered

I can deal with this for single click operations but double clicking

The mouse in question is a Logitech MX1000 mouse in combination with 
their wireless keyboard. I am using FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE compiled 
with sources from yesterday.

I'm just wondering if there is a setting I need to pass to moused 
that I have forgotten about.

RE: auth.log intruder prevention

2006-01-25 Thread Paul Hamilton
Hi Daniel,

On your web site, you show how easy it is to convert to IPTABLES.  I presume
then it would be quite easy to reconfigure to use IPFW as well?

Cheers,

Paul

  Hi Everyone,
 
 hello,

  
  In auth.log of my FreeBSD boxes I got many requests to port 
 22, as you 
  can see below. begin of snippet
  Jan 22 11:21:50 zeus sshd[92900]: Failed password for

  end of snippet
  
  I am wondering if any script is available to prevent hundreds of 
  attempts on port 22 from external IPs that constantly 
 checking user  
  passwords on my FreeBSD PCs.
  
  What I am looking for is a deamon application/script that 
 receives the 
  recorded data from auth.log and detects if any remote client (IP 
  address) is checking user and passwords (Detection pattern: 
 5 missing 
  attempts in 1 min). On a successful detection, the script 
 should add 
  an ipfw rule rejecting further IP packets from the specific remote 
  address.
  
  Is any script or something similar available so far?
 
 I've written a BruteForceBlocer, you can install it from 
 ports as well, check security/bruteforceblocker.
 
 Hope you will like it.

Touchpad Mouse and Battery Monitoring

2006-01-25 Thread Jonathan Herriott
Hi,

I've been trying to get my touchpad mouse working.  I am able to get a
USB mouse working no problem, but when I went into xorgcfg and tried
to setup another mouse, it had issues.  I eventually gave up at that
point so I could get everthing else working well enough to get on the
internet and send this.

Now I have KDE set up, and this is where my next issue comes in with
there being no battery monitor.  I've been searching around, and it
says that there should be a battery monitor that comes with KDE. 
Well, I don't see it, and I don't have a Power Configuration portion
under the KDE Control Center.  I'm assuming FreeBSD has support for
ACPI?  Is there something I need to download to get this working?

My last issue is the wireless.  I have an intel PRO/Wireless 2100
card, and I can't use it with encryption.  If I turn encryption off on
my router, it works.  Obviously this is bad.  I saw somewhere that all
I have to do is type:

kldload wan_wep

but it can't find wan_wep.  Any ideas on that?

Thanks in advance!

Jon

RE: navigating between html php

Thank you for replying but
creating the directory or permissions has
nothing to do with my question.
Please reread original post.


Sorry, read too fast :)

The function to redirect the user to another page is

header ('Location: http://www.yahoo.com');

This will do a http redirect, you must make sure the script has not 
sent any output, otherwise the redirect will fail.


Instead of redirecting the user, you might do the following

use require, require_once, include, or include_once to inclure the 
content of page1 this will have the same effect


Regarding your error while checking if the directory exist, can you 
post the exact error php gives you ?

Does anyone have a pointer to a FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE Migration Guide?
Even a draft?  I googled and looked in
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/ with no luck.  The 5.4 one is very
nice.
   



Operationally (i.e. to the user), 5.4 and 6.0 are very similar
(contrast to 4.11 - 5.4, which was a huge change).

FWIW, this is true for even larger 5- 6 jumps; a machine running
FreesBIE 1.1 (which was based on 5.3, IIRC) updated to RELENG_6_0
here today via standard buildworld cycle just as smooth as silk

You're missing the l in wlan_wep, for starters.

Also, counterintuitive at first maybe, but split unrelated
questions into seperate mail with different subjects.
