quota printing ?
Hello I'm searching for a centralized quota printing solution that would run over CUPS or LPRNG , I've reviewed pyquota but it doesn't fit our needings.

(no subject)
Hey all. Background: I build my sendmail from scratch, and have the sendmail build disabled in /etc/make.conf I recently tried to build a sendmail milter that needed a very recent version of libmilter, and I found that FreeBSD has forever been including a libmilter.so file that's very old and butting heads with it (the libmilter.so file is dated somewhere around 2002, it was probably installed with the system). I've found some instructions from weldon whipple here: http://www.technoids.org/libmilter.so.html But since the shared milter doesn't seem to be common practice outside of BSD, and I build everything sendmail related (all other milters) from source, is it safe to just kill this file off? Alternatively, if can someone can tell me the standard voodoo to make a sendmail milter (I'm trying to build dk-milter) use the static library rather than the shared, I'd love to know. -Dan -- Dan Mahoney Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hello, folks I believe that it is possible to read contents of the memory used/utilized by a process (assuming right privileges).

Hi, I'm having trouble loading kernel modules. Put simply "make installkernel" seems install native kernel modules into /boot/kernel/, but kldload seems to want to load them from /boot/modules.

FreeBSD Wireless Access Points with Atheros Cards
G'day all,
I was recently asked to set up a wireless access point by a
mate. Having read section 27.3.3.2 - "Building a FreeBSD Access
Point"
("http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html";)
from the FreeBSD Handbook I duly advised my friend that they'd
need to procure one of the Prism cards listed in the wi(4) man
page, as, according to the Handbook, "In order to set up a
wireless access point with FreeBSD, you need to have a
compatible wireless card. Currently, only cards with the Prism
chipset are supported".
When he got back to me the next day and said he couldn't find
one in any major store and that he'd been told they were no
longer available first-hand (whether all this is true or not,
I'm not entirely sure - but it's not really all that relevant
for the purposes of this question) I was a little surprised.
After much more stuffing about, the ath(4) man page caught my
eye and I found the magic sentence: "Supported features include
802.11 and 802.3 frames, power management, BSS, IBSS, and
host-based access point operation modes".
I've subsequently set the thing up and it's now chugging away
merrily in hostap mode with hostapd helping out with 802.11i
shennanigans. It appears to be fully operational.
My question, then, is this: Is the access point I've set up not
actually functioning as an access point in the strictest sense
of the term? Is the Handbook in need of a little attention in
this area?
I'll happily create a patch for the doc and submit a PR to
have it updated, but just wanted to check before doing so that
I'm not just being an idiot (I'm particularly good at that!).
Thanks all!

I now need to use a Speedtouch 715v5 using FreeBSD 6.1. I've set up the modem using a beta-sip_spoof, however, it seems that this routing is not working. Would FreeBSD 6.1 do this differently from FreeBSD 4.10? ta, t. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

USB-Serial ??
Hi and thanks once again for the support, The saga of the 3G modem. Labeled in AU as the Maxon MM 5500c. This device is a modem on the usb bus, it looks like and understands the at commands. Under XP. I am using fbsd 6.1. How do I get ppp to talk to it? The man pages keep pointing to /dev/cuaU? A device that does not exist yet. Also how do I set up the appropiate entry so as the boot process recognizes a (sio) with no hardware address and no irq ?

Generic Kernel suggestion
It seems that Freebsd 6.1 (and likely others versions as well) will hang when booted on a machine with no parallel port. Since many newer MBs are leaving the PP off due to lack of interest, it might be a good idea to fix this, since the point of a GENERIC kernel is that its a superset of what's needed in most cases.

portupgrade question
Good day everyone! I have a portupgrade related question. I am behind a proxy and fetch doesn't appear to cope with it very well. I installed wget and it works great. I updated the pkgtools.conf to reflect that, however portupgrade insists on using fetch for some reason. At first I thought that portupgrade ignored its configuration file, however once or twice I misstyped something and it did catch it. Any hints? P.S. I am running 5.5 if it makes any difference, although I think it shouldn't.

Re: reading process memory
How are you defining "assuming right privileges"? The only way you're going to be able to read another processes address space is in the kernel. Even a process running as root is not able to read another process's data. One of the principle responsibilities of the OS is to manage the private memory space of each process, and I emphasize private. The last thing you would want on a secure system is the ability of other processes to read or write to another process's address space. Even a parent process should not be able to read a child's address space, as the fork logically duplicates their address space and they go their separate ways. An attempt to read another processes address space should trap to the kernel and the kernel should kill the process immediately. There is one exception to this: you can setup a pipe or memory share between two processes, however, both processes have to agree to share some memory or connect via a pipe. I'm not going to give you a howto via email as the subject usually fills a solid chapter in most OS books.

Re: FreeBSD Wireless Access Points with Atheros Cards
Nick,
I tried this maybe a month back. I added an ath card to a firewall
(becoming
the third NIC) and set it up following the directions. While I could connect
to the access point/firewall, I could not get to anything beyond it. After
some reading, I decdied to buy a standalone access point and replace the
wireless ath card with a wired card to use to connect to the access point.
The standalone access point (Netgear) wasn't that much more than the card and
from everything I have read is the better way to go.
If you are able to sned data through the access point, I would love to
hear
about it...

Yes, this drives me nuts too. For example the kqemu port gets installed in /boot/kernel and highpoint's manuals tell you to install drivers there too.

It was added on my system by one of the FUSE ports I'm using. The first two are definitely there by default, though. Sorry for the misinformation.

There is a sysctl that controls this. By default on my 6-STABLE it is: %sysctl kern.module_path kern.module_path: /boot/kernel;/boot/modules;/usr/local/modules So the FreeBSD 5.x and newer default of putting kernel modules in /boot/kernel is covered.

On mail principles
A brief: How to use "envelope from" provided that I have a mailbox on ISP. A full explanation: My computer has no static IP-address, nor DNS-name in Internet. Internally, it has static name "localhost" and static IP-address 127.0.0.1. So, I have a mail address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". But I cannot send a mail to the world using this address in "envelope from" because of 1) Internet MTAs cancel mail whith such an address in "envelope from"; 2) such an address is useless to recipient. My address in the world is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". So, I make my MUA to send a letter using a command setting "envelope from" to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". (like sendmail -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] for sendmail, see "X-Authentication-Warning" in the header of this mail) But this way is bad for local purposes: my MTA's diagnostic messages are sent trough internet or lost at all, e. g. when my ADSL is in down. (Moreover, my letters sent to other local users have non-local "envelope from" address. Then local mail begin to go through external MTA.) What to do in such a situation? In principle, I can write a ruleset (in sendmail.cf by hand) for my sendmail to rewrite "envelope from" in outgouing mail from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and to leave it unchanged in local mail. But I think this is not a good solution, is it? I use sendmail 8.13.6 on FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE, but the problem depends not on MTA nor on OS.

6.1 doesn't recognize IDE HD
All, I'm trying to install i386 FreeBSD 6.1 onto an HP Omnibook 800CT (Pentium 166 MMX, 80 MB RAM, 4.3. GB HD). I'm booting from floppy because the onlyCDROM is a SCSI CDROM that is not bootable. Everything seems to go well (even the recognization of the SCSI controller and CDROM) except that it does not recognize the IDE HD. Note that the on-board ISA controlleris recognized (isa0) and there are various spewings about ata0. The laptop works fine. There RH9.0 bootable, and I've been playing around with other installations in the last week or so. I did some Google searching and found a simialar problem described in this two y ear old bug: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2004-October/009946 .html. However, I could not find this bug by searching freebsd.org. I realize that the IDE/ISA controller was probably a one-of for HP, but thereseems to have been support in the past (see bug report). Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround? Any help would be apprecitated. Thanks in advance.

Yes, ath(4) is actually the preferred driver for creating FreeBSD-based
wireless access points, and the handbook probably does need to be updated. No
one has been doing any work on the wi driver in quite some time, whereas Sam
Leffler has been doing a LOT of work to keep ath up-to-date and highly
functional.
I run a FreeBSD 6-STABLE machine as an access point at home and it works fine.
I couldn't get it to work with if_bridge, so I just set up wireless to be its
own subnet with the FreeBSD machine doing NAT and routing between the three
interfaces (external, internal wired, and internal wireless).

Tcpdump dropping packets
I'm fiddling around with ntop, but, after an initial packet capture, it doesn't capture any more traffic. It claims that libpcap is dropping all the packets. If I run tcpdump like this: tcpdump -i I get this: 15 packets captured 51104 packets received by filter 50288 packets dropped by kernel If I run tcpdump like this: tcpdump -i -w filename I get this: 65235 packets captured 65489 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel Is there a sysctl tweak that can at least reduce the packet loss? Is there a setting in ntop that I'm missing? If I send tcpdump to a file, can ntop read the file continuously?

This is one of the admin tasks that almost always cause headache. I think the standard solution is to hack up some Perl script that suits your needs. For LPRng, you might want to take a look at ifhp for a start. It doesn't do accounting but it may be useful to get every job into a particular format so you can count pages in that. I once made a script that counted pages in ps-files using the page separation tag in the code and rejected everything that didn't seem enough PostScript like. Once you have your Perl to count, you can do pretty much anything you like with the numbers. And there is a Sybase DB driver for Perl.

I would like to compile the needed apps on my fastest machine as packages, then transfer all the packages to the slower box, and do a pkg_add * and they're all installed. My catch is i don't want to install everything on my fastest box to pull this off. I am using portupgrade and was wondering if this was doable? Thanks.

Rather, portupgrade is a bit of a wrapper around the normal FreeBSD ports code. According to the handbook, http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html The ports system uses fetch(1) in order to download any files. I thought that there was a way to convince the ports to use a different file retreiver, but I don't see anything in the handbook. Have you tried setting the ftp_proxy and http_proxy environment variables, so that fetch can work with your proxy?

RE: 6.1 doesn't recognize IDE HD
Try turning off power management in motherboard bios. Also check that bios ide use auto setting. Set bios boot from floppy then drive c, not just floppy alone. If bios has system setting, set to unix or other, not windows. Try posting to freebsd-mobile list for better support. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 1:23 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: 6.1 doesn't recognize IDE HD All, I'm trying to install i386 FreeBSD 6.1 onto an HP Omnibook 800CT (Pentium 166 MMX, 80 MB RAM, 4.3. GB HD). I'm booting from floppy because the onlyCDROM is a SCSI CDROM that is not bootable. Everything seems to go well (even the recognization of the SCSI controller and CDROM) except that it does not recognize the IDE HD. Note that the on-board ISA controlleris recognized (isa0) and there are various spewings about ata0. The laptop works fine. There RH9.0 bootable, and I've been playing around with other installations in the last week or so. I did some Google searching and found a simialar problem described in this two y ear old bug: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2004-October/009946 .html. However, I could not find this bug by searching freebsd.org. I realize that the IDE/ISA controller was probably a one-of for HP, but thereseems to have been support in the past (see bug report). Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround? Any help would be apprecitated. Thanks in advance.

Spontaneous reboot involving 6-stable, gdb, and -pthread
I am trying to collect enough information to file a bug report about a problem I am running into. I have two separate machines: Machine 1 is running 6.1-RC/amd64 Machine 2 first was running 5.4-RELEASE/amd64 Machine 2 then it ran 5-STABLE/amd64 Machine 2 now it runs 6-STABLE/amd64 from monday. If I build ftp://ftp.epicsol.org/pub/epic/EPIC5/epic5-0.2.0.tar.gz, (the update for the irc/epic5 port hasn't been comitted yet) and manually add -pthread to LDFLAGS, and run the binary under /usr/bin/gdb, the machine spontaneously reboots. It doesn't appear to be a panic, because I've compiled a debugging kernel with DDB and KDB, etc, and it does not trap to the kernel debugger, just a reboot, as though I had hit the reset switch. I've successfully reproduced this 100% of the time I've tried it on multiple machines, on multiple branches of freebsd. I have not (yet) been able to test it on i386, so I don't (yet) know if it's amd64-related. The last thing I see before the reboot is: [New Thread 0x (LWP )] I've found I can avoid the panic by doing any one of: 1) Don't run under /usr/bin/gdb 2) Use /usr/ports/devel/gdb6 instead of /usr/bin/gdb 3) Remove the need to have -pthread in LDFLAGS I don't have an /etc/libmap.conf on either machine. Before I file a bug report, are there any other hints anyone can give me for what I might be running across here? (I am trying to fix this, because linking against ruby1.8 requires -pthread, so this is something new that I'm getting bug reports for.)

how does cron exec jobs?
I have a cronjob ( cfexecd -F ) that often hangs; but no matter how I run it from the shell ( sh -c "cfexecd -F" & ) it never hangs. (Running it from the shell is how I clear the hung state.) How can I simulate a cron job from the shell?

I use mutt, which has an option to set the envelope-from address: set envelope_from=yes# set the envelope-from address from From: For the rest of the programs, like mail(1), my Sendmail setup sets envelope-from to one of my valid outside-world addresses. This is accomplished with the following in my `sendmail.mc' file: dnl Trusted users, who are allowed to change their envelope-from address dnl without generating a warning in the message header, are listed, one per dnl line, in `sendmail.ct'. define(`confCT_FILE', `-o /etc/mail/sendmail.ct') FEATURE(`use_cw_file')dnl dnl Allow mail routing exceptions through a mailer table. FEATURE(`mailertable', `hash /etc/mail/mailertable') dnl Address masquerading. dnl dnl Making sure that all email that passes through my desktop's Sendmail dnl installation is masqueraded as coming from `gothmog.pc', even if its original dnl address is something slightly different (i.e. `ftp.pc' or `mail.pc'), is dnl ok here. It ensures that address rewriting and translation through dnl `genericstable' will also work for all `*.pc' host names. dnl dnl To make sure that remote hosts don't get a MAIL FROM address from a dnl hostname that doesn't resolve, envelope addresses are masqueraded too, and dnl then get rewritten by `genericstable' to real-world addresses, dnl i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'. MASQUERADE_AS(`gothmog.pc') FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain') FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope') dnl Rewriting the envelope-from address of all outgoing messages through a dnl `genericstable' lookup, ensures that envelope-from addresses seen by relay dnl hosts are real, i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]' instead of the default dnl envelope-from of [EMAIL PROTECTED]' that Sendmail would use. This is dnl required some times, to avoid getting bounces for messages from ISP mail dnl relays that are misconfigured or are too strict about what can appear in a dnl MAIL FROM command. FEATURE(`genericstable', `hash -o /etc/mail/genericstable') GENERICS_DOMAIN(`gothmog.pc') FEATURE(`generics_entire_domain') This looks like quite a mouthful of options, but it's not really that difficult to read. It's only big because of all the comments. The file `/etc/mail/sendmail.ct' contains my username, because I trust myself to use valid envelope-from addresses. This turns off the "X-Authentication-Warning" header which is so annoying for you too. Then, in `/etc/mail/mailertable' I have an exception for my internal, work-related email, and send it directly to the company's mail gateway: # Custom mail routing rules. This is currently useful only # for routing work-related email through the VPN connection # to my company's mail relay. # foo.com smtp:mailgate.foo.com .foo.comsmtp:mailgate.foo.com Finally, in my `/etc/mail/genericstable' map, I rewrite the envelope-from of all the rest of email messages, like this: # Outgoing email address rewriting. [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] These options are, of course, just a suggestion.

Re: Tcpdump dropping packets

Is there a setting in ntop that I'm missing? tcpdump can write to a file for decoding later much more efficiently than it can deal with live processing, DNS lookups, etc. You can help matters out slightly by increasing the underlying PCAP/BPF buffer size or by filtering out all but the traffic you want to see. Check sysctl debug.bpf_bufsize, but also do a search on this because there may be a patch needed for PCAP in order for buffers larger than 32K to actually work.
