If your CD-ROM is ATA slave, then try changing it to ATA master. If it
is master, then try slave.

I had same looking problem with much cheaper hardware (MSI motherboard
with i815LE chipset and Sony CD-ROM), all worked fine with ASUS CD-ROM,
but had not worked until I changed Sony CD-ROM from master to slave.

It depends on what your monitoring focus is.  If you just want to do 
some quick troubleshooting, ping and traceroute are probably all you need.


If you are looking for intrusion monitoring snort is the leading tool 
for that. (last time I checked)


If you are looking for traffic graphing you might look at RRDTool/MRTG.

It depends on what your specific problem is.

Surf through ports/net and ports/sysutils for all kinds of good tools.

Build Binary Packages from Installed Ports

2006-04-04 Thread Jason C. Wells
The new (to me) ports tools are pretty slick.  Is there a way to build a 
binary package for each installed port without upgrading or rebuilding 
each installed port?


As I read the man pages the only thing close to this is 'portupgrade 
-afp' which will give me the full set of packages, but insists on 
rebuilding everything first.

hi there,
I mentioned DHCP registration - i found the link :
http://www.netreg.org/ it may do what you need.

 I have already looked into it, as well as the CMU version of netreg which is 
far more feature rich and matured. http://www.net.cmu.edu/netreg/
 However, we are on the process of having a centralized LDAP directory of each 
equipment (including ip, mac address, os, owner, property number etc.) Both 
implementations uses a separate backend to store each machine's mac addresses. 
We don't want to have redundant data. Also, during our discussion:
 
 "Another problem I am seeing with this kind of setup is that it doesn't 
prevent 
 someone from using other user's network information. There's not that much of 
 authentication happening in the process of dhcp. The server only looks if the 
 mac address is already registered(in my case, a simple ifconfig will allow me 
 to change my mac address to that of a registered user). There are a couple of 
 suggestions and workarounds to this however, and with these at hand, were're 
 only left with that redundancy issue.."

have you considered changing the policy in this regards? do users need
that much control over their own workstation?
 
 According to the policy, the NMG is the only responsible for software 
installation, removal, patching etc of each workstation.. However, the MIS has 
very few manpower, they cannot have full control over all of the user's 
workstation. That's why we have proposed another policy that the user will be 
held responsible for every outcome that will be originating from his machine... 
be it p2p, or worm flooding.

and your pcrouter is the gateway between the users and the servers,
right? and different physical segment too
   

 
 
 Yup.. just to make sure that they will have to get authenticated first before 
using any network services.. If they are known, that is the time when 
monitoring and accounting will make sense (since it is useless to know the ip 
address of the one doing p2p when we can't find out the user whom this ip is

memory slot info

2006-04-04 Thread Simon Gray

Hi guys,

I have a freebsd server co-located (twin p3 1ghz) running fbsd 5.3, it
runs fine. I'm looking to add an extra gig of ram to it taking it to
2gig. The motherboard is a Tyan LE (S2510) 

http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderle.html

My question is - Without opening up the box, does anybody know of any
tools or anyway to find out what dimm slots are in use? E.g. if would be
helpful to know whether the box is using 2 out of the the 4 dimm slots
or 3 out of the 4 slots. (Basically I need to find out if I can get away
with buying 2x 512meg dims or a single 1024 meg dimm.)

I don't have physical access to the box either - otherwise I could
reboot and run memtestx86 or something similar

Any ideas/suggestions?

 Does it have to be LDAP and ipfw?
there is authpf which..
   
 Ofcourse this does not cover the IP|MAC address checking you mentioned,
but I don't see how this enhances security. It will be easy for a user to 
change his IP|MAC address.
 
 
 Our main problem is that in our company, each user has his own workstation(no 
one else uses it).. However, due to poor implementation of ip allocation 
strategy, any user can change his ip to whatever ip address he wants, thus it 
would be hard for us to really monitor who is doing this and who is doing that 
(because it would be useless to see the ip address of the one who's eating up 
or bandwidth or doing p2p when we cannot determine who is this user this ip 
belongs to. This leads us to our decision to have every user assigned a static 
ip address and have him register his mac address, all stored in ldap directory, 
and have him authenticate to the pc router first before being allowed to access 
any server. Authpf is somewhat close to this idea but perhaps it was designed 
for environment wherein users have no permanent workstation, or user can come 
from any location, even outside the company(at home)
 
 I have created a draft of my proposed solution:
 
 First, user will authenticate to a web based login form which is tied up 
against the ip[f|fw|tables] ruleset. 
 
 When the user submits the form, the cgi will then verify if the user is really 
who he claims to be by doing an ldapbind using the credentials provided. Also, 
the script will check if the request is coming from an ip address that is 
assigned to that user, by comparing it to his ldap attributes (somewhat 
prevents users from using other user's ip address).
 
 If everything goes well, the script will happily change the router's firewall 
ruleset to allow the user to pass thru. (note that in our setup, we have 
allocated a single class C ip block for all the staffs(120) (no need to have 
separate blocks since all policies applies to all). Also, we have placed all 
the servers (mail, proxy, file, printer, im etc) in a different block to make 
sure that authentication will happen first before a user is allowed to access 
any of those servers.
 
 Next, we will also provide a logout form(the same as logging out from ssh 
session in authpf) so that the ruleset can be reverted back when the user does 
not want to access any network server anymore. The problem with this is that 
users may be too lazy to logout to the network authentication.. In authpf, even 
the user did not logout from his ssh session, when he turns off his computer, 
the ssh session will automatically be terminated. I'm thinking perhaps I can 
have a nagios server constantly monitoring each user's network connectivity and 
then changing the firewall ruleset once the user's machine is unreacheable... 
 
 Another problem I am thinking is that, when a user has already authenticated 
to the router and have his ip address verified and has been allowed in the 
firewall, another smart user might immediately change his ip/mac address to 
that of the authenticated user, and thus making it hard to track his network 
activity again.. I'm still going to investigate if arpwatch can fill this 
need
 
 
 What do you think???

However, it's unclear why you'd bother with USB when simply performing a binary

same end result

 


Also what recommendations would you make if you were to upgrade from 4.x
tree to 5 or 6?
   



Read the fine documentation.  Follow instructions carefully.  Have good backups.
 



In particular, there is some *very fine* documentation at:

   http://www.freebsd.org/releases/

I'd recommend looking at the "early adopter's guide" for 5.0 or 5.1, and
a "migration guide" from a later release such as 5.3.  The 4.X -5.X jump
tends to be the tricky one, but Bruce Mah has spelled it out quite well. 

If you can hit 5.X successfully, jumping to 6 should be quite pain-free. 


YMMV, of course.

How to handle 'local' ports/packages?

2006-04-04 Thread freebsd-questions
Hi,

Can anyone give me a tip on how to properly integrate a local package so
that I don't get:

pkg_delete: package x has no origin recorded

errors?

I've tried adding a line like:

@comment ORIGIN:local/

to the +CONTENTS file for the package, but then portmanager complains that
it is nonexistent and won't complete 'portmanager -s'. To make matters
more awkward, this package is built from a closed-source binary
distribution and thus can't be properly ported, so I can't set it up
properly. What I'd like is for management tools to acknowledge its
existence, yet ignore it entirely for the purposes of maintenance. For
instance, I have already made it a held package under pkgtools.conf, which
seems to satisfy portupgrade ok.

I'm happy with the package I've made, as it enables me to check what
version is installed with pkg_info, I just want it to play nicely with
other real ports!

According to Dictionary.com, yes.  It gives three definitions, two of

And if you are on your freebsd box _and_ have the source code installed

/usr/src/sys/netinet

is the directory 

After all, one of the benefits of FreeBSD and the Open Source community
is that the source code _IS_ available.

Presumably reading /usr/src/UPDATING and the FreeBSD handbook would prove

Have fun.

However, it's unclear why you'd bother with USB when simply performing a binary
upgrade installation from a 6.0 or 6.1beta ISO image on a CD would achieve the
same end result

Re: Update from Ports removes dependency data

2006-04-04 Thread Luke Dean



On Mon, 3 Apr 2006, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I recently noticed if I update a package from ports, the package manager

gmake-3.80_2

[[[ update from ports - make ; make deinstall ; make reinstall ]]]

# pkg_info -R gett*
Information for gettext-0.14.5_2:

Is my procedure incorrect, or is this normal behavior?

 -Thanks,  Wayne


This is normal.  It's what makes upgrading those ports that are required 
by lots of other ports so difficult.

Dependency information is version-specific.

If you run "pkg_info -r libgpg-error-1.1" you'll find that it still 
depends on gettext-0.14.5_1 until you rebuild libgpg-error.


Last weekend I wrote some scripts to help me deal with stale dependencies 
like this.  My code is such an ugly perl hack that I'm ashamed to post it, 
and my algorithm isn't really airtight, but I'll give you the algorithm 
I'm using.  The script just uses pkg_info, pkg_version, and grep.


1) I build a dependency hash by parsing the output of "pkg_info -ra".  The 
keys to the hash are the names of the installed ports with the versions 
stripped off.  The right-hand-side of the hash are the lists 
of dependencies with the version numbers stripped off.


2) I build what I call a "full" dependency hash from the dependency hash I 
built in step 1.  I do this by recursively getting the dependencies for 
every dependency in the hash from step 1.  The result is a hash just like 
the one from step one, only with the list of dependencies expanded to show 
all of the dependencies' dependencies, etc. all the way down the the ports 
that don't require anything.
As I'm building this, I also count how many levels down I have to recurse 
to build each entry and remember this number for each port.  I call this 
number the "degree" for the port.  To avoid rebuilding the same ports over 
and over again, ports with high degrees should be built after ports with 
low degrees.


3) I get a list of everything I want to upgrade by parsing the output of 
"pkg_version -qL "="".  That shows me which of my installed ports are not 
the same version as the port in the ports tree.  Usually I'll want to 
upgrade those ports.


4) I add to that list all of the ports that have outdated dependencies.  I 
get that list by parsing "pkg_info -ra" for each port and checking 
"pkg_info -e " for each dependency to see if it exists.  If it doesn't 
exist, then I assume I need to upgrade the requiring port.  Many times the 
only thing I gain by doing this is an update to the dependency information 
in the ports database, but sometimes (like with the recent libiconv 
upgrade) it's truly necessary.  I don't know of any way to 
programmatically gauge the importance of an upgrade - all I can tell is 
whether the version of the port listed as a dependency still exists.


5) I take the list of ports that I built in step 3 and 4, look them up in 
the "degrees" hash I built at the end of step 2, sort the output by the 
degree I determined in step 2 and then print the list.


Then I use that list to tell me which ports that I should consider 
rebuilding and in what order.


I used this script to help me upgrade all the ports on a system that 
hadn't been upgraded in about six months.  It worked pretty well.  It's 
not always perfect, though.  Dependencies can change dramatically between 
versions sometimes, and sometimes a port will depend on a port that 
doesn't exist in the database (like "linux_base") but this approach is far 
far better than me trying to do a big upgrade of several ports by hand 
when I can't immediately see the dependencies.  It also gives me the 
freedom/power to choose to build the ports I want to build, and to build 
them with the options I want to use.

You forgot to use the full path to rndc in your shell script.  You should not
assume that the $PATH cron passes you is going to have that command available.

rpcbind: connect from 127.0.0.1 to dump() ??

2006-04-04 Thread Andrew Reilly
Hi there,

I'm running an NFS server on one of my FreeBSD-6-STABLE systems,
and it keeps putting that message into my /var/log/auth.log
file.  When I say keeps, there are thousands of such logs per
day, sometimes separated by seconds, sometimes by many minutes
or hours.  I can't find anything on the subject in the man pages
for rpcbind.

Presumably it's whinging because I'm not running some service
that it expects to be there?

The relevant (?) part of my rc.conf file is just:

nfs_server_enable="YES"
rpcbind_enable="YES"
syslogd_flags="-a 10.0.0.0/16:*"
rpcbind_enable="YES"
rpcbind_flags="-l"
mountd_flags="-2rl"

The primary NFS client is a diskless NetBSD box, if that
matters.  (That's why mountd has -r set: I used to NFS mount a
swap partition, but now I just run that box without swap, so
that flag is redundant.)

This has been happening for a long time, and doesn't seem to be
causing any actual problem, I just wanted to know what's going
on, and perhaps to stop it from complaining.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

-- 
Andrew

If you like Perl at all, take a look at WWW::Mechanize and its 
companion modules, e.g.:


./devel/p5-Test-WWW-Mechanize
./devel/p5-Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
./www/p5-WWW-Mechanize
./www/p5-WWW-Mechanize-FormFiller
./www/p5-WWW-Mechanize-Shell

There are probably (many) other Perl modules that would be of 
tremendous usefulness, but WWW-Mechanize is specifically designed 
for what you are asking.

Re: C Program to execute programs in same console

2006-04-04 Thread usleepless
Jon,

i believe you are mixing up some concepts.

1. if i read your title "C Program to execute programs in same
console". i think this is easy, just use system("ls *.txt") and you
are done. i believe you can choose wat to do with the output, i am not
sure.

2. but you come up with the cd-command, which you want to change the
context of your parent shell.  changing the home-dir of the current
process ( your program ) can be done with chdir. altering the context
of your parent-shell-process can not be done, except for setting
environment variables ( through the proper C calls )

but if you are running your program, your "shell" (interpreter) is
temporarily not there:  your program is running the show. every
system,execvp or whatever call will give you a child-process with a
new shell, not the parent-shell-process. i believe you may set
environment variables in your parent shell with the appropiate library
calls, but not through a system/execvp call.

so, maybe you should define what you really want to achieve. for
example, qdvd-author runs alls kinds of external programs to generate
thumbnails and slideshows for example.

anybody please correct me if i am wrong.

regards,

usleep

   UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 Quality System
   [BVQI_9001.jpg]

   Major worldwide companies definitively recognize ISO 9000
   certi-fication and frequently use it as a qualifier of potential
   suppliers. Although improving quality can be a challenge for both
   large and small firms, the benefits outweigh the expenditures to reach
   these goals. The growth of small and medium sized companies can often
   be catalyzed by ISO 9001:2000 acquisition by opening the door to
   multi-national firms. In general, the ISO standards make the
   develop-ment, manufacturing and supply of products safer and more
   efficient. A highlight of the standards Alphatrad was required to meet
   include: management involvement, defined and documented quality
   systems, and a thorough training program. Numerous months of
   preparation and training were required to meet these rigorous
   standards. Service companies do not typically seek certification,
   which is typically sought by manufacturing firms for the purpose of
   meeting both international process and environmental
   standards. However, the benefits implied by the certification include:
   increased productivity and efficiency, and improved
   communications. For more information on the International Standards
   organization, visit [5]www.iso.org[6].

Questions regarding RAID support

2006-04-04 Thread paul
Hey everyone, I'm currently working on setting up a server with RAID1. The 
servers motherboard has an on board Intel MatrixRAID controller. FreeBSD6.0 
currently has partial support for this controller, given my circumstances I 
can wait awhile before the server goes live and was curious if anyone had any 
ideas as to the ETA for full support for this controller?

Thanks in advance

Other things that I have seen are if you have a FS mounted inside

For example, I use file backed md devices as jail file systems and I  
mount various pieces of a master jail inside my jail.  If I do not  
umount everything cleanly before shutting the jail down it remains  
listed in the jls list

Take amavisd out of the picture and let postfix deliver them? Check
postfix master file for how things are getting routed.  Use 'postqueue

BSD 6 with SMB mounts to win 2003 shares.

been having problems all along with error messages "smb_maperror

access a file thru the samba mount that has an  apostrophe in the file 
name, i get the error "[file] does not seem to exist anymore".  now 
files with  apostrophe's on the local drives are no problem, just over 
the samba mounts.

Hi Bryan,

I don't think that bringing down the "src-all" collection via CVSup will
use a lot of extraneous disk space. While you could comment-out "src-all"
and include only specific collections, I think the specific collections
aren't necessarily granular enough that taking one out makes sense.

For example, on my machine, the sourcecode in the 'contrib' collection is
taking up 200+ Mb of space. However, contrib includes things like gcc,
gdb, top, traceroute, telnet, etc... That I wouldn't want to be without on
a normal FreeBSD machine.

The things that you probably could cut, like 'games' and kerberos,
represent less than 10Mb of the 400+ Mb total of my /usr/src directory.

So, I would say that if you are sensitive about disk space, be sure to
clean up '/usr/obj' after doing a build/install world. That is a pretty
low-hanging fruit, in terms of cleanin up disk space.

Good luck,
-Andy Reitz.

Reaplayer plugin not working after portupgrade

2006-04-04 Thread Oliver Iberien
Sorry to bring up such as stupid question, but these "you do not have the 
plugin" messages are driving me nuts.

On FreeBSD 6.0, I just ran portupgrade on everything except KDE. It updated 
both realplayer (linux-realplayer-10.0.7.785.20060201) and (1.5.0.1). Now 
although the realplayer plugin is still there, and I redid the link 
from /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins to /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/plugins 
(as described here: 
http://www.ubergeek.co.uk/howtos/realplayer-firefox-freebsd-howto.html), it 
doesn't work any more. I reinstalled realplayer and linuxpluginwrapper, and 
updated the libmap.conf file as indicated. Still nothing.

I am probably missing something very simple. An ideas?

Either a process in the jail is still running, or it leaked resources
while it was running (e.g. ptys - this is a known bug on everything
prior to 7.0).

Hello, folks,

I am working to install a FreeBSD 6.0 on a Dell 1850, with Dell Remote

After the install is complete the keyboard no longer works.

I can access the machine over SSH to do debugging. The 
/var/log/messages did not show any error:


%Apr  4 09:10:14 APPS01 kernel: atkbd0:  irq 1 on atkbdc0
Apr  4 09:10:14 APPS01 kernel: kbd0 at atkbd0

I tried it with FreeBSD 5.4 and it does the same thing. A Fedora Core 
4 and an RHEL 3 Linux did not have similar keyboard problem.


The DRAC keyboard (USB) takes precedence over any other keyboard you 
attach.  I believe work is in progress to make FreeBSD recognise 
multiple simultaneous keyboards.


If you search for "freebsd 2850 keyboard" with google you should find 
other posts where this is described.  We only access our 2850s from the 
DRAC, which works for us.

We've been there and done that.

In our case, building a custom kernel solved the problem - being sure
to have the required USB devices in the kernel (note that DRAC keyboards
are USB keyboards).  You may be able to accomplish the same thing with
some sort of modules or loader magic, but we wanted custom kernels
anyway, so it wasn't a hassle.

Well, there's nothing that says you couldn't grab the
source via CVS on Windows, either.  Or, perhaps, FTP.

For just a few files, there is a web interface to the
CVS tree available via the Project's web site --- that
could be exactly what you're looking for.

Of course, opening BSD source in a Windows editor will
corrupt your registry and reformat your boot volume...

Moving to 6-STABLE should fix APCI. It's about the first thing I do. 
After that, no problems with APCI.

It kicks back the error `nfs mount /usr/ntmount: [2] No such file or

/usr/ntmount does exist with absolute certainty.

I'm using version sharity-light-1.2_1 which I believe is the latest.
Any ideas?

Sharity light didn't work too well for me (especially with samba
installed).

Try mount_smbfs:

mount_smbfs -N //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/aShare/someFolder /mnt/point/

you can forgo entering a password by looking into /etc/nsmb.conf

Odd Sharity-Light mount issue

2006-04-04 Thread Huy Ton That
Hello, I found one other person who had the same below issue with
sharity-light however I did not find a resolution after some googling.

I'm running FreeBSD 6.0 Release and have just installed sharity-light
from the ports.  When I execute:  ./shlight //192.168.0.2/directory
/usr/ntmount -U administrator -P somepassword

It kicks back the error `nfs mount /usr/ntmount: [2] No such file or directory'

/usr/ntmount does exist with absolute certainty.

I'm using version sharity-light-1.2_1 which I believe is the latest.  Any ideas?

Something like a captured portal for wireless? (is that what they were
called? :D ) I like the idea though

btw, why you will be trying to lock down by ip/mac... you need to make
sure the users cant change this at their end...

Why do the users set their own IP? dhcp

I remember reading somewhere about authentication at the DHCP level...
from memory, with managed switches and disabling the port via snmp (for
a period) if there was something askew.

You can compile firefox without gnomevfs.  Just turn off support for

Starting I think in FreeBSD 6.xxx FreeBSD uses UFS2 file systems.

That is too much to explain in a simeple Email list.   You need to
study the FreeBSD handbook which is available online at www.freebsd.org

Cvsup src-all and installworld process question

2006-04-04 Thread Bryan Curl
Hopefully this is right place for my question and not to redundant a
question.

I have a new minimalist installation for use as a file server only (FreeBSD
6.0-RELEASE) with a very small set of ports installed. Basically Samba,
Cvsup,man files, ports, all the source and their dependencies. I am
primarily interested in keeping the system up to date with security patches,
system updates, and of course, the ports I run. I want to optimize the
amount of disk space for the public shares so I don't want to arbitrarily
install a lot of programs I don't need.

My question is,
1.) If I CVSUP SRC-ALL,  'make buildworld', 'make installworld' etc, will
that install the entire source tree to my machine and eat up disk space
unnecessarily? In other words do I need to weed out all but the basic
components I want before make installworld?
2.) What branches of the source tree would I  be required to keep up to date
for my minimal installation?

I realized in testing on an older system that portupgrade will only install
ports I am using but don't know if make installworld will do the same.

wasn't the controller, as it the spin-up issues were happening on a USB
dongle. same for cables (well, it's a laptop, so not sure how i'd
change them anyway )

Thanks for the info :) IBM (AU) has issued an DOA on this laptop, so
they agree on your/mine assesment (once I read them the SMART info over
the phone they must have figured out it was cheaper to get a DOA than
keep paying someone to listen to all that ;) )

thx :)

The answer is a bit too complex to provide via a mailing list.

I recommend you get a copy of _The_Design_and_Implementation_of_
_FreeBSD_.  It has all the details you could ever want.  That and
a copy of the source code (which comes with FreeBSD) should keep
you busy studying for some time.

upgrade 5.2 -> 5.5

2006-04-04 Thread Perttu Laine
Hello!

I tried to upgrade 5.2 to 5.5 and buildworld, buildkernel and installkernel
went just fine. reboot didn't. It halts on this with new kernel:

atapci0:  port 0xfff0-0x at device 2.1 on
pci0
ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0

after that nothing. kernel build with same config (generic) than old one and
it boots just fine.
So what could be wrong with this?

Do not remap disk, if you can change this disk. Try replace by
warranty.
If not, you need low-level format (with Hitachi tool) and check cables
and controller.
OR you need full backup and monitoring SMART two weeks every day.
IDNF is a hard-bad what you can remap with Hitachi tool.

Try 'rndc dumpdb' to examine the contents of the cache or 'rndc stats'.

The dumpdb command creates a file /var/named/var/dump/named_dump.db and the
stats command appends a short report to /var/named/var/stats/named.stats
by default (although these can be changed very easily by modifying named.conf)

Cheers,

Use rndc(8) to dump the cache.

We had the same problem as you, with FreeBSD 5.4,
last November.
We solved migrating to i386 (which worked stable for months).
