Remote upgrade 4.8 to 6.0
OK, I said I was intending to try this. I've carried out the following procedure on a test box in my office: before I do it with a live server 400 miles away, can anyone see any problems I've overlooked? I have two boxes on the remote site - call them server and gateway. I have ssh access to both boxes and a null-modem serial cable linking their serial ports. server is running FreeBSD 4.8 on an 80GB hard drive (ad0), and has a second brand-new 80GB hard drive (ad2). gateway is effectively acting as a serial terminal server. Copy the following files from a FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE CD to ~root on server (I'm sure it works with 6.1 too, but 6.0 was what I had to hand for testing): boot/boot1 boot/boot2 boot/loader boot/mfsroot.gz boot/device.hints boot/kernel/kernel and edit device.hints to add set to the start of each line (that's ``setspace''). (I couldn't find another way to include the device hints when we get to that part of the loader sequence). Use disklabel to upgrade the boot blocks on the FreeBSD slice: disklabel -B -b /root/boot1 -s /root/boot2 ad0s1 This is so the bootloader will be able to read the UFS2 filesystem you are about to create. (Is it a problem to change the label on the slice rather than the root `a' partition within the slice - which you can't do with / mounted?) Establish the serial console link from gateway to server and echo ``/boot/loader -h'' /boot.config on server. Reboot server, get past the initial bootblock prompt, and interrupt kernel booting to get to a loader prompt. Enter the following: unload load /root/kernel include /root/device.hints load -t mfs_root /root/mfsroot set vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/md0c boot You are now running FreeBSD 6.0 sysinstall from a memory disk on a serial console. Carry out the installation on ad2 (in theory, you could actually do this on ad0 if you wanted to blow away your original installation and didn't have a spare drive installed), remembering to visit the configuration menu and edit /etc/ttys to enable serial console login. Because the install was done over a serial link, the installed system should be configured for serial console. Reboot. At the bootblock prompt, enter 1:ad(0,a) to boot from the new drive. You should now be running FreeBSD6 multiuser, with a serial console for login, off ad2, and you can configure it, copy data from the old installation on ad0, etc. (My intention is to set up ad2 as a gmirror drive at this point - there is the extremely unlikely, but possible, risk of loss of data from adding the metadata to the last sector. I want to take the risk early before transferring too much data!). If you reboot the box it will drop to a bootblock prompt from the 4.8 installation: if you want to change that, put 1:ad(0,a) -h in /boot.config. The BIOS will still start the boot process from ad0, the lowest-numbered drive, but the bootblock will switch over to the other drive. Once that's done, and the 4.8 installation is no longer needed, ad0 can be added to the mirror. Comments, anyone?

skype on diskless machine
Hello, I have an appserver (6.1-RELEASE-p10) and many diskless clients connected to it. I'm using the diskless clients as X terminals (gdm is running on the appserver). Any user is able to use any terminal, because they run all applications on the appserver. Here is the basic problem: users need to use skype. I have two options: #1 Run skype on the diskless machine. Then it can handle audio I/O correctly, but the users cannot save their login names and passwords. (This option is also good because the diskless machine can kldload linux while the appserver does not need to, e.g. the appserver will be able to run application in native mode only). #2 Run skype on the appserver. Then users can save their skype login information but they are not able to make calls. Well, I could forward the audio output to the client using a sound daemon (e.g. esd -promiscuous -tcp -pubic -port 1500 on the diskless and esddsp -v -s diskless101:1500 skype_bin) but I could not find out how to forward digital input. I see no way to forward digital input through a sound daemon, so using a microphone would be impossible. The question is, how can I solve this problem? Should I use #1 and tell my users that they must not save their skype login names and passwords? Or should I use #2 in combination with a special sound daemon that is able to forward digital input as well? (How?)

Graham Bentley írta: And ... how to remove a package and all the packages it sucked in ? All I get from pkg_delete that it isnt even installed when I know it is because that was the previous command I just ran !!! Can you please send us the commands that you have executed? If you used pkg_add -r package name then the name of the package can be a general package name, without version number. This is useful since usually you are not sure what is the latest version, you just want to install it. Here is an example: messias# pkg_add -r mc Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.1-release/Latest/mc.tbz... Done. pkg_add: package 'mc-4.6.1_3' or its older version already installed However, if you add a package that is saved locally, you need to type in its full name (or path): pkg_add mc-4.6.1_3.tbz or something similar. Once you have the package/port installed, you can lookup its full name with pkg_which: messias# pkg_which mc mc-4.6.1_4 When you need to delete a package, you need to specify the full name (including the version number). The reason for this is easy: it is possible to have different versions of the same package installed at the same time. (Well, this is not true for some packages, but it is true for others...) So instead of doing: pkg_delete mc you should use: pkg_delete mc-4.6.1_4 I hope this answers your question. If it does, then probably reading these man pages will help you a LOT: portupgrade(1) pkg_add(1) pkg_deinstall(1) pkg_delete(1) pkg_glob(1) pkg_info(1) pkg_sort(1) pkg_update(1) pkgdb(1) ports_glob(1) portsclean(1) portsdb(1) portversion(1) pkgtools.conf(5) ports(7) Best, Laszlo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Data Recovery
I don't think that rsync can cope with hardlinks. Best way to do a backup like this is: tar -clf - / | ( cd /ad2 ; tar -xf - ) The -l flag will stay on the specified filesystem. If you forget this option tar (and any other command, even cp and rsync with their respective option) will copy /ad2 into itself, e.g. /ad2/ad2, which might lead to a kind of recursion. BTW: No, there isn't any tool that might recover from a desaster like the one you specified. Either the files you describe as being fried have either been overwritten with some other content, or changed in any other way. You need a backup to recover from this. ;) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

OpenLDAP crash on write operation with syncprov overlay enabled
Hi list, I'm migration an OpenLDAP server from Debian linux to FreeBSD 6-STABLE. I exported the database from old server with slapcat and impoted at Free without any problems. But when I enable syncprov overlay and do any write operation (ie.: ldapmodify) on the base the OpenLDAP crash with signal 11.

upgrading gnome
freebsd 6.1 xorg 6.9 Hey, I have gnome 2.12 trying to upgrade to 2.16 i tried everything from pkg_add (obviously deleting the old one first) to portmanager to portinstall to port upgrade and building it from the ports tree.. things fail one major problem I was having was gail... but i think I have beaten that because now i get another error, cant remember it at the moment but its irrelevant. I have broken my current gnome installation... when i startx... it will load all my panels, and any app will run fine, but the *desktop* its self is missing, including the background image. If i go into Desktop Background, it will load, but still I cant right click on the desktop, and there are no icons, and no way to add them (they are however still listed in my usr/home/dan/Desktop ) I've managed to break all kinds of things, Realplyer wont work now, because I unistalled my old linux base with portmaster for example. does anybody know of a good way to WIPE gnome, and rebuild it and its Dependant ports from the ground up? I dont want to re-install my freebsd, as Ive worked very hard to get everything from my M-audio sound card, my custom kernel, and giant fat32 drives, to my apache server etc etc etc, im sure you are all in the same boat if you are using freebsd thanks -- Dan Sikorsky *Systems Admin/GoldMine Admin* RegionalHelpWanted.com,Inc.

I've searched google, and am finding nothing other then that it can be done ... I'd recommend using curl. It has options for sending HTTP POST data in a couple of different formats. With nc, you'll have to fabricate the entire request and pipe it in. Easy enough to determine the format by tcpdumping a browser session, but curl has done the work and lets you do error checking on the response. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I tried the following command to back up my working HD to my new 1/2 teraflop HD: cp -R /* /ad2 and I managed to crash the system (recovered easily) and fry some important files on ad2. That won't really get what you want anyway. It doesn't handle hard links the way you want and I don't really think it will get other file systems mounted in root (/), though I haven't tried that. Also, I think you would need a trailing '/' on ad2 in your command to come even close. How about using dump(8) and restore(8). They handle everything correctly. You can either leave everything in the dump file[s] on your big disk just in case you need it [them] in the event of a failure on you main working disk or build file systems on the big disk and restore everything in to them so the file systems are mountable from the big disk. The first choice probably makes most sense as a backup/recovery method. This is not a ghost type sector-by-sector backup (which is mostly useless) but a file-by-file backup (including all directory structures and links). So, you need to run dump for each filesystem you want to back up. First, create one large slice on ad2 using fdisk. Then create at least one partition in that slice using bsdlabel. Then create filesystems in the partitions using newfs. Then you can write to that disk with regular commands such as cp, tar or dump. Then, presuming one slice (1) and one partition (a), mount that big partition as something - lets say '/stash' eg mkdir /stash mount /dev/ad2s1a /stash Now use dump dump 0af /stash/rootdump / dump 0af /stash/usrdump /usr etc If you create separate file systems to make mountable images of each file system, then mount them as something sensible - say /bakroot and /bakusr Then to use dump/restore, do: cd /bakroot dump 0af - / | restore -r - cd /bakusr dump 0af - /usr | restore -r - This will get you working copies of those two file systems including links - which will still point to the real locations, not the copies, of course. Anyway, regardless of what you do, you must fully create at least one file system on the big disk and them mount it to write to it. You cannot write directly to the unprepared device as ad2. Of course, you could create that partition as above doing fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs and then create a mount point called /ad2 and mount it as such. But, I would shy away from that, just because it can create confusion. I would recommend using mount point names that represent what is to be written there as I have done above. jerry TIA, Rachel __ Yahoo!

Re: skype on diskless machine
Hi Laszlo, On Thursday 30 November 2006 13:15, Laszlo Nagy wrote: Hello, I have an appserver (6.1-RELEASE-p10) and many diskless clients connected to it. I'm using the diskless clients as X terminals (gdm is running on the appserver). Any user is able to use any terminal, because they run all applications on the appserver. Here is the basic problem: users need to use skype. I have two options: #1 Run skype on the diskless machine. Then it can handle audio I/O correctly, but the users cannot save their login names and passwords. (This option is also good because the diskless machine can kldload linux while the appserver does not need to, e.g. the appserver will be able to run application in native mode only). #2 Run skype on the appserver. Then users can save their skype login information but they are not able to make calls. Well, I could forward the audio output to the client using a sound daemon (e.g. esd -promiscuous -tcp -pubic -port 1500 on the diskless and esddsp -v -s diskless101:1500 skype_bin) but I could not find out how to forward digital input. I see no way to forward digital input through a sound daemon, so using a microphone would be impossible. The question is, how can I solve this problem? Should I use #1 and tell my users that they must not save their skype login names and passwords? Or should I use #2 in combination with a special sound daemon that is able to forward digital input as well? (How?) Why not just run skype on the diskless PC and have the user's home directory mountend over NFS?

Re: skype on diskless machine
Why not just run skype on the diskless PC and have the user's home directory mountend over NFS? That way you can have both things you want. I thought about this, but the users are never logged into the diskless machine. (They do not even have a home directory there. The diskless machine has a special rc script that executes X -query address_of_appserver in an infinite loop, so users are not able to access anything on the diskless machine.) You are right, it would be possible to do this with NFS, but first I must write a new service for the diskless clients. That service could be asked by the appserver to mount the ~/.Skype directory of the given user into the home directory of the user who happens to run the X server on the diskless machine, and then start skype. This new service must be called from /etc/Xclients or ~/.xinitrc on the appserver. At that time the username and the address of the diskless machine will be known. I imagine this /etc/Xclients: snip # Allow the diskless machine to display skype on our screen xhost + address_of_the_actual_diskless_machine_used # Ask the diskless machine to mount our .Skype directory and launch sykpe_bin send_skype_start_request address_of_the_actual_diskless_machine_used username # Start the wm exec gnome-session /snip Well, this is the theory. But I would not like to write a new service program if possible. But yes, this would work. Is this the only way?

FreeBSD 5.5 port vlc-devel core dump
Dear Mailing List,
Sorry for this rather lengthy post. I am not sure if this is the correct
place to ask this question. I have posted the same question to the vlc
forum with the hope that someone will help.
If this isn't the right place to post, please let me know. If anyone has
a clue, pointer or idea on how to resolve the issue, please let me and
the mailing list know. Thank You In Advance.
I have a coredump that is reproducable on FreeBSD 5.5 STABLE with
vlc-devel 0.9.0-svn Grishenko. All ports updated. Looks to be a pthread
issue?
Vlc links to following:
tinca# ldd /usr/local/bin/vlc
/usr/local/bin/vlc:
libiconv.so.3 = /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x28077000)
libvlc.so.0 = /usr/local/lib/libvlc.so.0 (0x28164000)

playing a playlist with the following command:
vlc playlist.m3u --sout
#transcode{acodec=mpga,ab=192}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.255.255}
where the playlist looks like:
filenamea.ogm
filenameb.ogm
...
filenamez.ogm
Gives a vlc.core after playing a few filenames. The gdb backtrack (and

Mail server question
In updating FreeBSD to a 5.5 resting place on the way to 6.2, sendmail went from 8.12.11 -- 8.13.6. Three users could not connect without deleting or tinkering with their client profile to force the client side to reenter the password. One was only fixed by setting up a new account. the three users from from an office with about 40 others that worked fine. All the affected users were using POP3, two thunderbirds, and an Outlook Express. The troublesome use was POP3 with Eudora. No one else noticed [which was sorta what I was hoping for :) ] I hope this is not too off topic, but I know of no other place to pose the question with any hope for an answer. Thank for any thoughts. I think I can rule out local firewalls because the office admin is very savy and would have told me. I ruled that out in the one I worked on. That one literally went from old account fails to new one works with nothing in between.

Re: stop a freebsd server from responding to pinging?
In response to Wasp King [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
1. How do I stop others from port scanning a server?
Drive to their house and smash their computer.
2. is stopping the response to pinging enough?
No. In fact, not responding to ping is a bad idea. Disabling ping
responses violates certain RFCs and is a tactic taken by sysadmins
who should know better.
Additionally, a determined scanner won't care whether you respond to
ping or not, so it doesn't even gain you anything. nmap, probably
the most popular scanner out there, has an option to scan without
pinging, and even _recommends_ turning that on if you try to ping
and get no responses.
3. how to do I stop the server from responding to
pinging?
You can always use pf or ipfw, if you _really_ want to go down that
road.
Running FreeBSD 4.2 and 6.1.
I changed the /etc/rc.network file to NO for
broadcast ping responses, and this did not work (still
responding to ping) when I rebooted:
case ${icmp_bmcastecho} in
[Yy][Ee][Ss])
echo -n ' broadcast ping responses=NO'
sysctl net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho=1
/dev/null
That just stops it from responding to ping requests destine for the
broadcast address, which is a topic of some debate. It will still
respond to ping requests sent directly to it.
Anyway, the question that you didn't ask is how do I secure my system
from network attacks. The QD answer is:
1) only run network services that you really need
2) ensure those services are properly secured
If you do those two, who cares if you get portscanned?

Wasp,
Check out /usr/ports/security/portsentry to reject portscan attempts. By
default it uses /etc/hosts.deny, which is deprecated. But you can configure
it to run a command (KILL_ROUTE in portsentry.conf) to do just about
anything you want.
My KILL_ROUTE command is a perl script that sends syslog entries
to /var/log/auth.log, which are intercepted by /usr/ports/security/sshit to
only temporarily block an offending ip using ipfw. It also sends an email
notification at the time of the attempt, so I can be sure to keep an eye on
the trouble-maker.
BTW: I think to completely block ping/traceroute you would add an ipfw rule
like:
ipfw add drop icmp from any to any in via $eternal_nic
But that may introduce complications I'm unaware of ...

Using dd is a trivial benchmark, and not especially precise but good enough to give rough answers; otherwise, there are lots of I/O benchmarks in ports like iozone or even diskinfo -t. Try using different block sizes while reading and writing with dd, and you'll probably find some useful info. While it is likely that you can adjust the RAID-5 stripe size, change the write-caching from write-thru to write-back (if your RAID has a battery, anyway, otherwise this is dangerous), etc, using a 3-disk RAID-5 volume is just not a great idea-- RAID-5 is happier with more drives than the minimum of 3 to get better parallelism and reduce the overhead for parity info. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

dump/restore question
If I have built a freebsd system to my liking and want to be able to reinstall fbsd to my pre-dump state (assuming the same slice configuration). I ran dump -L -0f - / dump -L -0f - /usr dump -L -0f - /var dump -L -0f - /tmp and save these files remotely.

Automount
I've just installed an external SCSI hard drive in the form of a sun StorEdge. All is working well. The StorEdge has two drives called da0 and da1 respectivly. I've put entries into /etc/fstab so that they are mounted on boot as /s and /t. My question is... If I dont have the StorEdge running 24/7 and I reboot the server, the boot process fails when mounting the file systems as /s /t can not be reached. Is there anyway of writing an automount line in fstab that is smart enough to know that if the /s and /t are not reachable then continue with the boot process without stopping. My fstab enty is... /dev/da0s1d /sufsrw00 I see that the cdrom has the entry /dev/cd0/cdromcd9660 ro,noauto 00 Is it simply a case of changing the mount option to rw,noauto ?? - Try the all-new Yahoo!

The only cure I can think of is to reinstall the affected packages/ports, since these (or those) are the files that tell all (any) of the intended management tools what actually is installed and where. As an aside, backing up your /var/db/pkg will save you a bit of trouble should something go wrong with the disk, however in the event of a mangled upgrade it likely will not, since the backup will not match what is on disk any- more (or more to the point the backup will not match what is needed for what was mangled by the mangler). Probably still ought to take the backups with every updating. A simple tar -jcf /backup/file/name.tar.bz2 /var/db/pkg/ for 301 packages took about 90 seconds and consumes 2.9M of disk space. Not a lot of overhead there.

Checking xfce4-print and xfce4-desktop's output, I have the error message: libicui18n.so.34, needed by /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) So, checking for the library I first tried 'locate libicui18n.so.34' and got: /usr/local/lib/libicui18n.so.34 /usr/local/lib/libicui18n.so.34.1 but when I ran 'find /usr/local/lib -name libicui18n.so.34' it doesn't find anything. Apparently something deleted the library since the last time 'locate' updated its database. Presumably your portupgrade. OK, so 'ls -l /usr/local/lib/libicui18n*' gives me: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel18 Oct 15 18:24 libicui18n.so - libicui18n.so.36.0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel18 Oct 15 18:24 libicui18n.so.36 - libicui18n.so.36.0 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1474969 Oct 15 18:24 libicui18n.so.36.0 Apparently the library libicui18n.so.XX is installed by something called icu. I don't know what it is, but the latest version is icu-36, and it installed libicui18n.so.36.0, made links to it, and may have deleted libicui18n.so.34 at the same time. Should I try creating a link named 'libicui18n.so.34' to 'libicui18n.so.36.0'? No, there's a reason the library changed name, after all. This problem usually happens when you forget to update all ports that depend on an updated port. Try portupgrade -a or similar to repair it. Well, that's what first brought the problem to my attention. I did a cvsup, then a fetchindex, then a porstdb -u, then a pkgdb -F, and finally a portupgrade -a, and had a number of ports that failed. Five of them have to do with xfce4, all related to the library problem. Well, I'll try a new cvsup and portupgrade. -- Roger ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
problem with script execution
Hello;
I have a problem that I have put considerable time into, but I keep
coming up empty. short form is that the script works from the command
line, but doesn't work from a php script. (I've already stumped the php
list.)
details follow.
I have a shell script , 'copy' consisting of 4 lines
echo * | sudo -u admn -S rm /path/to/file1
echo * | sudo -u admn -S cp /some/path/to/source1 /path/to/file1
echo * | sudo -u admn -S rm /path/to/file2
echo * | sudo -u admn -S cp /some/path/to/source2 /path/to/file2
copy is owned by www:www and is mode 777
file1 and file2 are owned by admn:www and are mode 666
copy, file1 and file2 are in the same directory which is owned by
www:www and is mode 777
I have enabled targetpw in the sudoers file as www doesn't really have
a password.
I also have a php script
?php
echo exec ('whoami');
exec ('/path/to/copy');
?
(just for the sake of completeness, exec passes a command to the OS and
echo prints what ever is passed to it.)
my output is www which is the expected result of the whoami for the
php/apache user. however no file changes happen.
however, from root:
sudo -u www /path/to/copy
changes the files exactly as expected/desired.
any suggestions/pointers/links would be appreciated.

dc0 card drops connection on FreeBSD 6.1
I am having issues with an ethernet card running under FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE. It is dc0 and pciconf reports it as Conexant Systems. Network connections hang most of the time and usually timeout. FTP and HTTP downloads with move along for a short time and hang every 3% or so for several minutes before continuing or timing out. I installed FreeBSD 6.1 a month ago on a fresh hard drive, but about 5 months ago my old hard drive crashed which was running FreeBSD 5.4, though I never had any issues with the network card for 5.4 or, previously, 4.9. This system was running for several years with no issues until the Hard drive crashed 5 months ago. dc0: Conexant LANfinity MiniPCI 10/100BaseTX port 0x1400-0x14ff mem 0xf400-0xf4003fff irq 9 at device 9.0 on pci0 miibus0: MII bus on dc0 ukphy0: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface on miibus0 ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto dc0: Ethernet address: 00:50:8b:ab:99:d5 pci0: simple comms at device 9.1 (no driver attached) pci0: multimedia, audio at device 10.0 (no driver attached) -- Loren M.
