 Hi,
 I'm wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of
 moving the entire /usr partition to a second hard disk, given that I
 am on an existing (newly installed) install of FreeBSD.

 Also, is it possible to specify something like this during the
 installation itself?

It is quite possible, but not quite as convenient as it could be if
you are not familiar with the installer.



 Any possible google queries, links, articles, et cetera are warmly
 welcomed. I've tried throwing a few keywords at google, but it all
 returns off topic pages.

In the last six months I have posted fairly complete ways of
doing this several times on this list.   It is easy.  I suggest
you look throught the FreeBSD questions archives.   Most of my posts
assume things are being moved to an existing file system, but
the process is the same.

First, you should look at what is using up space in your /usr filesystem.
It may be that something is growing in a way you do no want.
For that, use the  'du'  command something like:
  cd /usr
  du -sk *
Cd in to any directory that seems unreasonable and repeat the du to
narrow things down.

One thing that is often done, but I don't recommend is putting
user accounts and other things that can grow unexpectedly in to /usr.
I make a separate file system for user accounts, generally using
the /home mount point.  I also put /usr/ports in a different file system.

If you finally decide that you do need to add a disk - a very real
possibility - then choose a good quality drive of the same general
type your already have - SCSI, IDE/SATA, SAS - aind physicaly install it.

Boot the machine and look for in dmesg.
It will either show up as dann or adnn  where nn is a device number.
It will be da for SCSI or ad for IDE family.  The first drive will be 0
the second will be 1, etc.Probably your boot drive is 0 and the
one you add will be 1.  If they are IDE then ad0 and ad1.

Next, take a look at the drive with fdisk.  Presuming it is ad1,  do:
  fdisk ad1

It should find the disk and think everything is in slice 1 unless the
disk was formerly used in a different system, in which case it should
see the disk, but stuff may be spread ofer up to 4 slices (occasionally
miscalled partitions).

My examples the new drive is IDE family and is the second disk.
You can make sure everything that might be left on it is effectively
wiped out by doing:
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1 bs=512 count=65

Then, to make the disk usable you need to do an fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs.
Presuming you will use the whole disk for /usr (maybe you will really
want to use it in a more complex way, but the process is essentially
the same) and presuming you don't want to make the drive bootable - and
install an OS on it in a separate root,  then
The fdisk creates the slice table and writes sector 0.
  fdisk -I ad1
writes one single slice containing all the usable space on the drive.

NOTE, although drives are numbered 0-nn, slices are numbered 1-4.
Then you need to create a label in slice 1
  bsdlabel -w ad1s1
creates the initial label - note the additional 's1' to specify the slice.

Now, divide up the slice in to partitions.
In this I am presuming you want a single large partition.
Use the bsdlabel in edit mode.
  bsdlabel -e ad1s1

You will be put in a vi edit session unless you have a different
default editor specified in an environment variable.

That will bring up a screen with the slice label as it currently is.
Ignore all the stuff specifying drive specs.
For one partition, change only one field.
There should be a line starting with 'a:'
Change it so it looks like:
   a:*04.2BSD 2048 16384 32776

Leave the line that starts 'c:' as is.

But, if it doesn't give you an 'a:' line, copy the 'c:' line
and use it and just replace the size field with the '*'
You don't really need to change the fsize, bsize and bps fields, but
suggest you make them as I have them above.

Then you have to create a file system on that partition.
Do that with newfs.

newfs /dev/ad1s1a

Newfs needs the full device spec as above.

now you can mount and write to the filesystem.
I'd suggest you do this next stuff in single user mode, but
it isn't absolutely essential.
Make a temporary mount point and mount it.
  mkdir /newusr
  mount /dev/ad1s1a /newusr

Copy the existing /usr to the new space, probably using tar
I use an interim file, but you can use pipes.
If your current /usr is really a whole partition in and of itself,
then I would use dump/restore instead of tar for this
  cd /usr
  tar cvpf /newusr/usr.tar *
  cd /newusr
  tar xvpf usr.tar

The 'v' flag is not essential, but gives you the confidence
something is happening.

Using dump/restore instead of tar, do:

  cd /newusr
  dump 0af - | restore -rf -

Now, get rid of the old /usr and make it use the new one.

  cd /
  mv usr oldusr
  umount /newusr

 Thanks for that test Paul. I do believe that it could have been a virus
 infected windows box. I am not convinced now. I -do- know that I have
 had crackers attempting access via SSH and I did not have anything to
 stop them from trying every possible configuration. Eventually they
 may have gotten a usable login and password. I now have them blocked
 after 5 failed attempts but still there could be someone spamming using
 the login and password obtained previously. Before getting -everyone-
 to change thier password I am wondering if there isn't a way to log
 who is sending via what login authentication. I could then just
 setup a new password for that user only.

You can make the logging more verbose at the SASL level.  You should 
have a file

/usr/local/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf 

which contains sendmail specific bits of the SASL configuration.
(just create it if you don't already have it).  You can add to
that a

   log_level: 6

parameter, which should cause enough logging to be generated that you
can tell who was logging in and where from, without logging passwords
or other sensitive stuff.  You might want to follow the instructions in
/etc/syslog.conf for enabling the all.log.

For more info on the sort of stuff you can put in the various SASL
config files see:

   http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/cyrus2/options.html

The available levels (from sasl.h) are:

/* Logging levels for use with the logging callback function. */
#define SASL_LOG_NONE  0/* don't log anything */
#define SASL_LOG_ERR   1/* log unusual errors (default) */
#define SASL_LOG_FAIL  2/* log all authentication failures */
#define SASL_LOG_WARN  3/* log non-fatal warnings */
#define SASL_LOG_NOTE  4/* more verbose than LOG_WARN */
#define SASL_LOG_DEBUG 5/* more verbose than LOG_NOTE */
#define SASL_LOG_TRACE 6/* traces of internal protocols */
#define SASL_LOG_PASS  7/* traces of internal protocols, including

let somebody watch my actions over the network

2007-01-14 Thread Dino Vliet
Hi peeps,

I have this question about administering a freebsd box
through ssh.

I am helping a friend of mine configuring his freebsd
6.1 system. But he lives in anothe rpart of the town
so we are working through ssh. But because he wants to
learn by looking over my shoulder at the things I
do, he asked me if I knew a tool or a way to make that
happen.

So basically, if I login through ssh, he wants to sit
behind the machine and see what actions I'm doing. And
because we talk over skype, we could have this whole
interactin going on while I'm configuring his machine.

How could I accomplish something like this? Does
anyone have an idea?
Two tools come to my mind, screen and nxserver but
still I don't have a clue how to accomplish this.
Hope someone can point me in a good direction.

Identifying a Remote Machine.

2007-01-14 Thread Grant Peel
Hi all,

Try not to laugh too hard here 

I have several servers, each with hundreds of IPs on them.

I am attempting to write a php script that will connect to each ip and identify 
the 'hostname' as set in rc.conf.

I have been looking at icmp, env etc, and can't find a method. I was also 
loioking at ping, but it does not show the hostname.

The only reply I need from the server is the hostname. That will tell ne that 
the IP is live and what machine its on.

Is there any suggestions?

PTP cameras never identified as mass storage devices. try digikam from ports, 
but read carefully about raw USB access (for example here -

Hi,
You should try accessing your camera with something like gphoto2 (from 
ports) as it seems to report PTP (picture transfer protocol) mode.

Some Nikon cameras had the option to select the USB transfer mode
betweek PTP and mass storage.
On mine (Coolpix 4600) it is located under Setup-Interface-USB- and 
then Select PTP or Mass storage

I too have a Coolpix here, it's 5900 but yours should be similar. Enter
the camera's `Setup', Select `Interface' from the menu, select `USB',
and select `Mass storage' (you probably have PTP there, which is why
dmesg is saying so). It should show up as umass then.

MSI K8N-SLI ( Nforce 4 ) + Musicpd warnings

2007-01-14 Thread Frank Staals
Since not so long I have a MSI K8N-SLI mainbord, I updated to 
6.2-PRERELEASE so I could use the nfe driver for the onboard NIC. Now 
there is only one thing left which bothers me. I am using musicpd to 
play my music, allthough every time I give a command either by 
commanline through mpc or through a webclient I get kernel messages like 
these:


WARNING pid 1661 (mpd): ioctl sign-extension ioctl c0045006

I have to say, everything works just fine but it's anyoing that these 
message keep showing up in my dmesg. When I googled on it I didn't realy 
found a solusion. Does anyone know what the problem is/can be and what I

Please, this is possibly the most frequently asked question not in the 
FAQ. Understand that whenever you make a service available on the 
internet, someone is going to try to break in. Be it ssh, smtp, dns, 
http etc. What you need to learn is to identify which attacks constitute 
a real threat to your system.


The first log entry is no sign of break in attempt. Just because a DNS 
server is misconfigured doesn't mean that people are trying to attack you.


The second line is evidence that some illicit events are recorded. But, 
there is no reason to worry about these if you have properly configured 
your box. Please search the archives for ssh brute force - this topic 
has been discussed a zillion times.


Some mention port knocking. This doesn't make people stop trying to get 
into your box. It introduces an extra hazle to do so as you first have 
to knock on the port a secret (but shared secret) sequence. Then you 
will authenticate as previously.


If you are troubled with messages in your log, there are plenty of 
ordinary things you can do:


- enforce key authentication
- restrict access to certain users or groups of users
- deny direct access as root
- enforce strong passwords, if you can't enforce key authentication
- limit the ip address space that is allowed to connect, to the space
  where you or your users are likely to be
- limit the number of simultaneous unauthenticated connections

Newbie attempting to install Flamenco (open source, python-based, faceted interface)

2007-01-14 Thread Brett Bonfield

Hi,

I am a library student at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. My
goal is to aggregate information about the Library and Information
Science profession (e.g. conferences, mailing lists, blogs,
professional associations, accredited LIS schools, scholarships,
etc.). Ironically, no one else has documented my chosen profession, at
least not online. My hope is to create a self-sustaining community
that sees the value in faceted interfaces and shares my appreciation
for the importance of using open source software to organize open
information.

I have an excellent host, TextDrive, that is committed to open source
development and does a very nice job with its machines, but my server
runs FreeBSD, and Flamenco http://flamenco.berkeley.edu/index.html
seems to be Linux-centric: Please note that we have only tested the
code on the Linux OS (Red Hat 2.4.21). By changing the path to Python
in its install script and replacing cp -a with cp -pRP, I've gotten it
most of the way installed, but not all the way -- I can't get it to
install the data itself, what Flamenco calls instances.

My hope is that someone on this list who is comfortable with Python
and MySQL might try installing Flamenco and see if it's possible
within the FreeBSD environment. I realize it seems like a lot of
bother, but check out Flamenco's examples
http://flamenco.berkeley.edu/demos.html, especially the Nobel Prize
winners http://orange.sims.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/flamenco.cgi/nobel/Flamenco.
The developers have created a gorgeously clean interface, and they're
hosting the project on Sourceforge -- but the Flamenco community
hasn't yet gotten to the point where it can provide its own support.
My hope is that a visible project, like the one I'm undertaking, might
get the ball rolling.

I've tried Flamenco's seemingly solid documentation, Google, FreeBSD
documentation, TextDrive forums, TextDrive's help desk, and I've
contacted the developers. I'm not sure what else to try given that
I've been working on this since November 26, at least a few hours per
week. I realize I could use MIT's Longwell, but I much prefer
Flamenco. I hope at least one other person on this list will see the
value in Flamenco and will be able to figure out what needs to be done
to make it work within FreeBSD.

Thank you,

Brett

How to burn IFO, VOB... files to make a playable DVD

2007-01-14 Thread Carl J

Hi! I ripped the ifo, vob... files from a DVD.
But I don't know what programs to use to burn
them to a DVD-R so that the resulting disc
would be playable on an external player
(assuming the external player accepts DVD-R)

It seems growisofs only takes files or whole-disc-image.
And cdrecord and burncd don't seem right either.

Most of the articles I find on the internet are
either for Windows, or they talk about
converting the VOB into a standalone MPG/AVI.
But I want to preserve the original VOB and menus... etc.
Can anyone help?

Thank you!

And you can define the SOA to be home.lan.
Missing the email address of responsible administrator - should be 
like:


home.lan. IN SOA home.lan.  email.blue.home.lan
   ^^^

Notice that first dot only in email-address is substituted by @

Usually a good idea is naming the serial like 2007011401 - year, 
month, day and serial is easier that way in the long run :)



named.conf:

If this was public I would consider adding either a recursion no; or 
allow-recursion {}; clauses in options in order to avoid some attack 
techniques utilizing nameservers.



zone . IN {
   type hint;
   file named.ca;
};


You have moved the named.root into named.ca?

No need for IN in these either.



zone localhost IN {
   type master;
   file pri/localhost.zone;
   allow-update { none; };
   notify no;
};


Again if public, I would add allow-transfer rules to allow the full 
dump of domains in questions only at appropriate peering servers. 
Maybe allow-query { any; }; for every domain as well.


I might have missed some bugs at cursory glance, but these should help 
to get you started.

(By the way Greg Leheys nowadays publicly available book about FreeBSD 
has pretty good walkthrough about basic nameserver configuration)

Hello Brett,

I'd try posing this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The people that
watch that list will probably be more able to help (rather, have more
interest in helping you) that those on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, when
posting there -- if you haven't done so already -- try changing your
subject line to something like Help with porting Flamenco. In the
body of your text, you may also want to include the exact requirements
of Flamenco (e.g., Python = 2.4.X, MySQL = 5.0, etc). The people
on that list will be able to tell you right away whether or not a port
is easy/possible.

advice on compiling a new kernel upgrading to the latest sources

2007-01-14 Thread Dino Vliet
Hi folks,
from different sources I have written my steps to
compile a new kernel  upgrade to the latest sources.
Can anyone have a look into them and tell me if I
won't run into troubles or if there are better ways to
achieve the same?

Upgrade procedure to the newest freebsd kernel and
userland.

1.Make sure that the cvsup file (src-supfile) is
adjusted in the right way.
2.Cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf which contains the file
MYKERNEL
3.MYKERNEL is then adjusted, if necessary and copied
to root/kernels/MYKERNEL
4.Copy everything under /etc to /root/etc
5.cvsup -g -L 2  src-supfile 
6.cd /usr/src
7.make cleanworld 
8.make buildworld
9.make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
10.Go into single user mode
11.If the new kernel doesn't boot reboot and hit the
space bar at the boot prompt and boot kernel.old If
the new kernel boots OK mount -a 
12.cd /usr/src

13.make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
14.Go into single user mode
15.cd /usr/src
16.mergemaster -p
17.make installworld
18.mergemaster -i
19.exit and reboot

Is this ok? Or have I forgot about something?
I'm running a freebsd 6.1 machine on a amd64 system
with an adjusted kernel called MYKERNEL.

Thanks inadvanced,
Dino

random reboots: in_cksum causing this?

2007-01-14 Thread rwong10

Hi...

For the past month or so.  I've been seeing random reboots from my firewall
box.  I am presently running: 4.11-RELEASE-p13.  I am observing the
following entries in /var/log/messages that occur right before or lead to
the reboot eventually:

Jan  1 14:42:30 myhost /kernel: in_cksum_skip: out of data by 10103

I'd provide more..but its not exactly reproducible at will.

The box uses pppoe to connect to the web and provide internet to a private
LAN via an adsl connection.  The reboots are very sporadic and don't appear
to be deterministic...in terms of time.  This can happen as often as 3x a
day or I wouldn't see it for 1-2 weeks.  There could be a number of
transfers going on or nothing much in terms of traffic.  The box is not a
compute server.  It does nothing else.

I have found some references to this in_cksum problem on the web.  But they
were posted 4-5 months before I upgraded /usr/src to p13.  So I don't think
its related.  I don't have much to go on.  Anyone have any ideas or has at
least seen this?

Can anyone have a look into them and tell me if I
won't run into troubles or if there are better ways to
achieve the same?


//snip

The order how things are done is slightly different, I kept the 
numbers original though,but the sequence is:



12.cd /usr/src
13.make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL


Reboot after installing the new kernel. New kernel isn't there just 
after droppping to singleuser, but you need to boot.



11.If the new kernel doesn't boot reboot and hit the
space bar at the boot prompt and boot kernel.old If
the new kernel boots OK mount -a


Check that new kernel acts somewhat sane (some programs might fail 
though due changed kernel interfaces, like top or ps for example - I 
do go full multiuser to check this)



14.Go into single user mode
15.cd /usr/src
16.mergemaster -p
17.make installworld
18.mergemaster -i
19.exit and reboot


Shouldn't be need for reboot after this, just hit ctrl-D and enjoy the 
updated system. Updated scripts are executed only after machine goes 
into full multiuser.

Re: perl substitution question

2007-01-14 Thread Gary Kline

Thanks for all the ways, gents.  (I never thought of tr,
but now that seems like an option.)  A week+ ago I tried
perl using 's/\xNN//g' from the cmdline, but nojoy. 
The online docs said that \N{xx} would catch a hex character;
that's what was fuzzy.

{Very} early this morning I retried using \x80 and 
\x9d, \x9c separately.  diff showed that things worked...
mostly; then I found more hex characters that I had to
carefully subs out.  I'll write a script to do the whole 
bunch.

No wonder I love Unix!

 Hi folks,
 from different sources I have written my steps to compile a new kernel
  upgrade to the latest sources.

Your instructions, however, are different from what /usr/src/UPDATING
contains.

Please, make *sure* you read `/usr/src/UPDATING' very carefully.
Especially the commands of the section ``To upgrade in-place ...''
and *all* the footnotes they reference.

 Can anyone have a look into them and tell me if I won't run into
 troubles or if there are better ways to achieve the same?

 Upgrade procedure to the newest freebsd kernel and userland.

 1.Make sure that the cvsup file (src-supfile) is adjusted in the right
 way.

That's ok.

 2. Cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf which contains the file MYKERNEL

No it doesn't.  CVSup will delete the files it doesn't know about, so
you should *SAVE a copy* of your favorite kernel config file outside of
the source tree and *copy* it into `/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf' after CVSup
finishes updates the sources.

 3.MYKERNEL is then adjusted, if necessary and copied to
 root/kernels/MYKERNEL

Nice :)

 4.Copy everything under /etc to /root/etc

Why?  This isn't mentioned in `/usr/src/UPDATING' and it doesn't really
help much if you manage to trash your /lib and /usr/lib trees.  A better
suggestion is to ``make sure you have good level 0 dumps'', as suggested
by ``/usr/src/UPDATING''.

 5.cvsup -g -L 2  src-supfile

You've deleted MYKERNEL here.

 6. cd /usr/src
 7. make cleanworld

The ``make cleanworld'' command is unnecessary if you haven't been
building stuff manually inside the tree.

 8. make buildworld
 9. make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL

You can do both at the same time, with:

# cd /usr/src
# make KERNCONF=MYKERNEL buildworld buildkernel

 10. Go into single user mode

You forgot to install the new kernel *before* rebooting here.  This
should be done with:

# cd /usr/src
# make KERNCONF=MYKERNEL installkernel

 11. If the new kernel doesn't boot reboot and hit the space bar at the
 boot prompt and boot kernel.old If the new kernel boots OK mount -a 

No, mount -a is not enough.  Please read the `UPDATING' file.  The
full sequence of commands would be something like:

(escape to loader prompt)
(at the OK prompt of the boot loader, type):

boot -s

Then, when the system starts a /bin/sh shell instance, type:

# adjkerntz -i
# fsck -p
# mount -u /
# mount -a

 12. cd /usr/src
 13. make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL

It is too late to install a new kernel here, if you didn't do it
*before* rebooting into single user mode.  The whole 'exercise' of
installing the new kernel and booting into single user mode is meant to
provide a level of testing for the new kernel.

If you haven't installed it and booted into the old kernel, some things
may fail to install later on, you don't know if the new kernel actually
works, etc.

 14. Go into single user mode

You *ARE* in single-user mode already.

 15. cd /usr/src
 16. mergemaster -p
 17. make installworld
 18. mergemaster -i
 19. exit and reboot

These look fine.

 Is this ok? Or have I forgot about something?  I'm running a freebsd
 6.1 machine on a amd64 system with an adjusted kernel called MYKERNEL.

Please read ``/usr/src/UPDATING''.  Then read it again.  Let the text
and all its footnotes sink in, and if you don't understand *why* a
particular step exists, or what a specific step is supposed to do, feel
free to ask.

We are here to help you update the system, but we are *also* here to
help you understand the why, when, how and what for of each step of the
process :-)

Watch out for shells with funny 'expansion rules', like csh(1) :)

Even in sh(1) variants, it's always a good idea to save the Perl script
in a file first, and test it independently of the shell, with:

perl filter.pl  infile  outfile

To avoid all the messy details about single-quotes, double-quotes,
backquotes, stars, dollars, etc :)

so far so good

same you might check that
 
8.make buildworld

9.make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
10.Go into single user mode
  

OK

11.If the new kernel doesn't boot reboot and hit the
space bar at the boot prompt and boot kernel.old If
the new kernel boots OK mount -a 
  
You have to install your kernel first, step 13 is next now. Also when 
allready running in the 'multi'-user mode a 'shutdown now' will bring 
you in single user mode

12.cd /usr/src

13.make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
  
asuming you still are in single user mode you now have to do 'make 
installworld' ( your step 17 ), after you've done that run a 
'mergemaster' and you are finished.


Basically everything you have to do is documented perfectly in the 
FreeBSD Handbook: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html


I suggest reading it (again?) and if possible open the page on a 2nd 
computer or something so you can read whatever step is next when 
rebuilding world.


Also you might want to run 'script /path/to/logfile/'  as also 
described in the handbook .

14.Go into single user mode
15.cd /usr/src
16.mergemaster -p
17.make installworld
18.mergemaster -i
19.exit and reboot

While not mentioned in /usr/src/UPDATING, this is good practice in my

of /etc has allowed me to undo some careless keystrokes a number of times.
I don't disagree with the dump advice, but an additional copy of /etc
around doesn't hurt anything and occasionally makes fixing a mistake
much faster an easier.

Don't want stuff deleted when cvsup runs (not wise, but you can do it)?,

Re: Identifying a Remote Machine.

2007-01-14 Thread Dan Nelson
In the last episode (Jan 14), Grant Peel said:
 I have several servers, each with hundreds of IPs on them.

 I am attempting to write a php script that will connect to each ip
 and identify the 'hostname' as set in rc.conf.
 
 I have been looking at icmp, env etc, and can't find a method. I was
 also loioking at ping, but it does not show the hostname.
 
 The only reply I need from the server is the hostname. That will tell
 ne that the IP is live and what machine its on.

If they're not jailed, just connect to the SMTP port.  sendmail's
banner has the hostname in it.

Another option, if you have a machine on the same subnet as your
targets, would be to ping each one, then compare the MAC addresses to
determine which ones are on the same host as each other.

Or, if you have login access to the servers, just run ifconfig -a to
list the IPs.

This should work for a sh compatible shell script. It should be easy

Re: BIND9 Syntax?

2007-01-14 Thread Derek Ragona
Once you get the syntax corrected, make sure you are picking up the correct 
named.conf file by doing:

ps -ax| grep name

If you don't have /etc/rc.conf setup correctly, you may not be getting the 
correct named.conf.

Subject: BIND9 Syntax?



Dear All,

I've been having trouble with BIND(version 9.3.2-P1), and I'm not sure
where the problem is. When I try to use nslookup, it spits out:


server 127.0.0.1

Default server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

blue.home.lan

Server: 127.0.0.1
Address:127.0.0.1#53

** server can't find blue.home.lan: SERVFAIL

I have my server(blue.home.lan), set up on a LAN.

These are my config files:

db.home.lan:
$TTL 3h
home.lan. IN SOA blue.home.lan. (
 1; Serial
 3h   ; Refresh after 3 hours
 1h   ; Retry after 1 hour
 1w   ; Expire after 1 week
 1h ) ; Negative caching TTL of 1 hour



And you can define the SOA to be home.lan.
Missing the email address of responsible administrator - should be like:

home.lan. IN SOA home.lan.  email.blue.home.lan
   ^^^

Notice that first dot only in email-address is substituted by @

Usually a good idea is naming the serial like 2007011401 - year, month, 
day and serial is easier that way in the long run :)



named.conf:
options {


If this was public I would consider adding either a recursion no; or 
allow-recursion {}; clauses in options in order to avoid some attack 
techniques utilizing nameservers.



zone . IN {
   type hint;
   file named.ca;
};


You have moved the named.root into named.ca?

No need for IN in these either.



zone localhost IN {
   type master;
   file pri/localhost.zone;
   allow-update { none; };
   notify no;
};


Again if public, I would add allow-transfer rules to allow the full dump 
of domains in questions only at appropriate peering servers. Maybe 
allow-query { any; }; for every domain as well.


I might have missed some bugs at cursory glance, but these should help to 
get you started.


-Reko

(By the way Greg Leheys nowadays publicly available book about FreeBSD has 
pretty good walkthrough about basic nameserver configuration)

Moving the default tcp port to other than the default WILL disminish the

If you are using CVSup to update your ports tree, you can use the 'date'
option in your supfile, to specify the precise date-and-time that CVSup
will update your /usr/ports tree to.  The format of the 'date' options
for supfiles is described in cvsup(1) like this:

date=[cc]yy.mm.dd.hh.mm.ss
This specifies a date that should be used to select the
revisions that are checked out from the CVS repository.
The client will receive the revisions that were in effect
at the specified date and time.

At present, the date format is inflexible.  All 17 or 19
characters must be specified, exactly as shown.  For the
years 2000 and beyond, specify the century cc.  For earlier
years, specify only the last two digits yy.  Dates and
times are considered to be GMT.  The default date is `.',
which means ``as late as possible''.

Specifying a 'date' in your supfile should be as easy as writing a
special ports-supfile, based on one of the existing examples, like
`/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile' and adding a proper *default
line.  Since ports are not branched, this means that you can replace:

*default release=cvs tag=.

with something like:

*default date=2006.11.24.21.19.45

Now the important detail that you must dig out of the CVS repository is
the exact timestamp you are interested in.  This can be done by using
the web interface of the CVS repository.  You can point your favorite
browser to:

http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/lang/php5/Makefile

and look at the change log for the port's Makefile.  The elinks(1)
browser which I used here, shows:

% Revision 1.106 / (download) - annotate - [select for diffs],
% Mon Nov 6 17:43:10 2006 UTC (2 months, 1 week ago) by ale
% Branch: MAIN
% Changes since 1.105: +3 -3 lines
% Diff to previous 1.105 (colored)
%
% Update to 5.2.0 release.

So your timestamp should be something definitely *before* the time this
update was committed: `2006.11.06.17.43.10'.  Your supfile could then be
written to contain:

*default release=cvs tag=.
*default date=2006.11.06.17.43.00

Having said all this, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to roll back the
entire Ports tree.  You will effectivelly go back in time, with all
the consequences this can have, like for example rolling back all the
security fixes of Ports which have been committed since then :(

Why do you want to go back to a previous PHP version?  Perhaps we can
solve any problems you have with 5.2.0, so you can keep your Ports tree
up to date *and* have the problems fixed :-)

  No it doesn't.  CVSup will delete the files it doesn't know about, so
  you should *SAVE a copy* of your favorite kernel config file outside of
  the source tree and *copy* it into `/usr/src/sys/amd64/conf' after CVSup
  finishes updates the sources.

 Really?  What have I been doing wrong?  I've been keeping custom kernel
 configs for years and cvsup has never deleted any of them.

That's what the ``*default delete use-rel-suffix'' option does, AFAIK.

The default supfile examples in `/usr/share/examples/cvsup' have this
option enabled, and cvsup(1) says about it:

  delete  The presence of this keyword gives cvsup permission to
  delete files.  If it is missing, no files will be deleted.

  The presence of the delete keyword puts cvsup into
  so-called exact mode.  In exact mode, CVSup does its
  best to make the client's files correspond to those on
  the server.  This includes deleting individual deltas
  and symbolic tags from RCS files, as well as deleting
  entire files.  In exact mode, CVSup verifies every
  edited file with a checksum, to ensure that the edits
  have produced a file identical to the master copy on
  the server.  If the checksum test fails for a file,
  then CVSup falls back upon transferring the entire
  file.

  In general, CVSup deletes only files which are known to
  the server.  Extra files present in the client's tree
  are left alone, even in exact mode.  More precisely,
  CVSup is willing to delete two classes of files:
  o   Files that were previously created or updated by CVSup
  itself.
  o   Checked-out versions of files which are marked as dead on
  the server.

If the option doesn't work this way, then I stand corrected.

 4.Copy everything under /etc to /root/etc

 Why?  This isn't mentioned in `/usr/src/UPDATING' and it doesn't really
 help much if you manage to trash your /lib and /usr/lib trees.  A better
 suggestion is to ``make sure you have good level 0 dumps'', as suggested
 by ``/usr/src/UPDATING''.

 While not mentioned in /usr/src/UPDATING, this is good practice in my
 opinion.  mergemaster can be a tedious task, and making a local backup
 of /etc has allowed me to undo some careless keystrokes a number of times.
 I don't disagree with the dump advice, but an additional copy of /etc
 around doesn't hurt anything and occasionally makes fixing a mistake
 much faster an easier.

Heh, true :)

Re: Mystery Spam Piling Up in Mqueue

2007-01-14 Thread Jeff Royle

The example below is simply a bounce that did not go through.

Note: Mailer-Daemon and MDeferred: Connection refused by macbilling.com.

Your system attempted to delivery a bounce back to macbilling.com and 
the MTA @ macbilling.com is rejecting the bounce.


Most likely spam using a forged (or real) address 
something@macbilling.com was sent to your system to 
somefakeaddress@highperformance.net and of course your system could 
not deliver the message so it bounced.


If all messages in your queue are like this, I would take some time, 
report the spam to say spamcop.net or the like and remove them.   You 
even could be a nice internet neighbour and try to redeliver the legit ones.


Welcome to the running a mailserver on the intertubes. :-)

Cheers,

Jeff

I figure this one out?


An example is shown below.

What has been a fun hobby all these years is turning into a nightmare.  
Spam is making me batty.

ide/pata: change from sec/slave to pri/mater corrupt fstab, no keyboard other mysteries

2007-01-14 Thread Steve Franks

So I'm feeling pretty stupid,

My system is dead because I changed my disk from the secondary to the
primary ide controller.  Boots, can't mount yada, yada. No problem, but I
can't type when it says ufs: ... i.e. da0s1..mountprompt.  Ok, so I put
it back, edit fstab, reboot.  Ooops, yours truly put a typo in fstab, now it
won't boot at all, because I can't type at the manual-mount prompt.

Question1: Why?  I can hit F1 from the loader, and I can choose 1-5 from the
beastie menu, so the damn keyboard is, in fact, working, but no text from
the mount prompt when I type.  I suppose the obvious answer is that
something in my boot process disables my keyboard (though I could also type
just fine when I booted origonally in safemode on the secondary slave
cable).  Did the obvious and tried a different brand/connector/etc for the
keyboard.

Question2: Led me down this path in the first place: why does the system
freeze up solid after the ehci hardware message when you boot off the
secondary slave disk? Obvious answer, it's doing something ugly with the
ata_dma (because that's one of the very few things disabled in safe mode).
Boot in safe mode or put the disk as primary master, and voila, no freeze!
(Only my fstab is now messed up [compounding matters: the brand new harddisk
with the extra-tight connector ripped one plug off my cheapo pata cable, so
I can't plug the cdrom back in and start from scratch.])

Question3: Anyone qualified to tell me if question2 is legitimate bug-report
material, or expected behavior?

Yeach.  What a mess.  Typical sunday.  I can hope for an even better monday,
no doubt ;)

Thanks, all,
Steve

And it used to be such a nice neighborhood.  :(

It's hard to be a good netizen.  I probably don't spend as much time on 
it as purist would prefer.  I just try to sweep up whatever flotsam 
comes my way when I find the time.


Later,
Jason

Best way to kill pixels?

2007-01-14 Thread Nikolas Britton

What's the best way to make more dead pixels on an LCD display?... So
a manufacturer will be forced to replace it. Would a high voltage
static discharge through the panel work? Would it leave physical
evidence of tempering, like melted silicon?

Thanks.

 Hi,
 
 Is anyone using FreeBSD 6.X in production on SuperMicro 2U servers?

 Thanks for the info,

 Yep,
 
 We are using them at Juniper Networks. We have had very good luck
 with them. However we use SCSI disk instead of SATA so I don't know
 how well SATA works with FreeBSD 6.x. Our setup is 2 - dual core
 CPUs, 4 gig of ram, a pair of Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers. The OS
 disk is a pair of 72 gig SCSI mirrored and the other 6 bays have some
 configuration of SCSI disk in RAID 10. We use FreeBSD 6.2-RC2 because
 these motherboards use the Intel network chips and there was a
 problem with the em device. The patch to fix this got committed
 sometime in late October.

Hi Josef, thanks for your answer.

Are you using this motherboard?

http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/5000P/X7DBE.cfm

I have just check on FreeBSD 6.2R hardware compatibility list, and they
don't mention the network controller. It's an

- Intel(r) (ESB2/Gilgal) 82563EB Dual-Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller

Hardware compatibility list says:

- The em(4) driver supports Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Intel
82540, 82541ER, 82541PI, 82542, 82543, 82544, 82545, 82546, 82546EB,
82546GB, 82547, 82571, 82572 and 82573 controller chips

Does the documentation simply need to be updated maybe?

Bye

Philippe

 Thanks.

You sure will get advice on commiting a fraud here.
