Re: Install FreeBSD 6.2 and Windows XP prof in the same computer
Can anybody teach me on how to run Windows XP Professional on top of FreeBSD 6.2.

Dear All, First, I would like to thank you all for the wonderful work of developing FreeBSD. I have some doubts regarding the BSD stack flow. I am very much interested to know the code flow from sendto (UDP case) upto udp6_output function when used in IPv6 client (simple client) and also how the local port and destination address are assigned without using bind when 1st time the sendto is called i.e where the pcbconnect and pcbbind are called (particularly in case of ipv6)?

Libtool cannot find correct libraries
System: FreeBSD 8.0 Current (!) Made a classic UNIX mistake and entered rm -R * in the wrong directory. Stopped it very quickly, but have been in troubles ever since. I have made a rebuild of the system - both userland and kernel, but still having the same problems. The problem seems to be in libtool no longer being able to find the correct version of the libraries (even after having rebuild libtool itself without problems). For example, when I need to install xorg-drivers from the ports, it ends up with libtool: link: unknown library version type 'freebsd-' (obviously missing something after the hyphen). When looking af the libtool configuration: libtool --config: ... # Library versioning type. version_type=freebsd- I don't know how to manually set the correct versioning type, and I dont know from which configuration file it tries to determine the type.

Re: NIS interoperability with Linux, was Re: Following directions doesn't seem to work: Adding users in NIS
Manolis Kiagias [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've read this the first time I tried and decided not to go with it. The manual says: If you plan to use a FreeBSD system to serve non-FreeBSD clients that have no support for password shadowing (which is most of them), you will have to disable the password shadowing entirely by uncommenting the UNSECURE=True entry in /var/yp/Makefile. Linux certainly uses password shadowing, and I can see in my debian server maps passwd.byname and shadow.byname files If I perform ypcat passwd.byname from a client I get the standard passwd file with no passwords (exactly like /etc/passwd) The encrypted passwords are in the shadow.byname map. Now, if I understand correctly, the above solution would put the passwords in the passwd.byname map, thus making the system less secure, where in fact I should be able to make FreeBSD export a shadow.byname map that would be compatible with Linux. Am I missing something here / are my assumptions wrong? I think you are assuming that Linux uses password shadowing over NIS. This is not possible, and no system does it. The FreeBSD security method in question just forces requests for the password maps to come from privileged ports. This is a very minor security method, and other systems don't support it. Fundamentally, NIS assumes that you trust the machines you are serving. Or at least are willing to let them have the encrypted passwords. No OS can change this; it's not a Linux/FreeBSD issue. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD 6.2 + my gensnmptree issue
I am having an issue which is most likely my lack of understanding and not a problem with 6.2 itself. The system is running 6.2-RELEASE and I use bsnmpd. Here is the uname output. FreeBSD lucky.orisit 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct 10 10:40:51 EDT 2007 What I am trying to do is get bsnmp to respond to new MIBs, specifically UCD-SNMP-MIB. After reading the manpages for bsnmp and gensnmptree I believe gensnmptree is the command I need to use. This is where I get into trouble. The gensnmptree command doesn't give me any results no matter what I do. Even using a bug report example of gensnmptree -e sysName gives me no results. So I proceeded to do some more google searching and noticed gensnmpdef was referenced several times as the program which may be what I need to use. I found the code for this in /usr/src/contrib/bsnmp/gensnmpdef without a makefile. There is no gensnmpdef in /usr/sbin on the system but it is in the /usr/ports/net-mgt/bsnmpd/pkg-plist. So I guess I need some guidance. Can I use gensnmptree to get this MIB into the bsnmp system? If so how is this done? -or- Is there a problem with the 6.2 release for gensnmpdef and that is in fact the program I am suppose to be using? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Go to the FreeBSD web site (http://www.freebsd.org/) click on documentation and chose some of the items in the list, especially the handbook. One specific item: Install Winxxx first. It does not play nicely with any other installation if you install it second. At least in the beginning, install and use the FreeBSD MBR (boot loader). You will be given three options in the FreeBSD install. Choose that one. It is a little plain and, if the other OS (Winxxx) is not one of the few it has display codes for, will just put out '???'. But, it will still boot it just fine. Later, if you feel you need a prettier selection menu while booting, then you can install something like grub or gag or write your own. But, the standard FreeBSD MBR works just fine. So, do some reading. Then do some experimenting. Use it for a while to get comfortable with it.

Re: NIS interoperability with Linux, was Re: Following directions doesn't seem to work: Adding users in NIS
Lowell Gilbert wrote: Manolis Kiagias [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've read this the first time I tried and decided not to go with it. The manual says: If you plan to use a FreeBSD system to serve non-FreeBSD clients that have no support for password shadowing (which is most of them), you will have to disable the password shadowing entirely by uncommenting the UNSECURE=True entry in /var/yp/Makefile. Linux certainly uses password shadowing, and I can see in my debian server maps passwd.byname and shadow.byname files If I perform ypcat passwd.byname from a client I get the standard passwd file with no passwords (exactly like /etc/passwd) The encrypted passwords are in the shadow.byname map. Now, if I understand correctly, the above solution would put the passwords in the passwd.byname map, thus making the system less secure, where in fact I should be able to make FreeBSD export a shadow.byname map that would be compatible with Linux. Am I missing something here / are my assumptions wrong? I think you are assuming that Linux uses password shadowing over NIS. This is not possible, and no system does it. The FreeBSD security method in question just forces requests for the password maps to come from privileged ports. This is a very minor security method, and other systems don't support it. Fundamentally, NIS assumes that you trust the machines you are serving. Or at least are willing to let them have the encrypted passwords. No OS can change this; it's not a Linux/FreeBSD issue. I have experimented a bit further with my debian NIS server, and this is what I found: From a NIS client, I can do with my standard user account: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ypcat passwd.byname user1:x:1010:1010:Joe User,,,:/home/user1:/bin/bash and I get the standard, world-readable password file (the one without the passwords) However, the standard user cannot run: This is the answer: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ypcat shadow.byname No such map shadow.byname. Reason: No such map in server's domain As root, however: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ypcat shadow.byname user1:$1$1233245435435345543545345sfsdfsfdf:13577:0:9:7::: ... This seems to be consistent with the FreeBSD NIS Server behaviour described in nis(8) manual page: To help prevent this, FreeBSD's NIS server handles the shadow password maps (master.passwd.byname and master.passwd.byuid) in a special way: the server will only provide access to these maps in response to requests that originate on privileged ports. Since only the super-user is allowed to bind to a privileged port, the server assumes that all such requests come from privileged users. All other requests are denied: requests from non-privileged ports will receive only an error code from the server. So, it seems linux handles this the same way. Difference is linux has a shadow.byname map while FreeBSD has a master.passwd.byname map (possibly also internal differences in the files) Now, if I understand correctly, If I where to add the UNSECURE feature in the FreeBSD server, I expect the shadow passwords would be inserted in the passwd.byname map which is world readable and hence a security issue. (Perhaps I will do this experiment next and let you know of the outcome) This is hardly important for my home server scenario, but it would be, should I decide to implement a FreeBSD NIS server somewhere else. Hence, the best possible solution would be to get a Makefile for the FreeBSD NIS server that would produce completely Linux compatible maps. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, yes that would be the tool, but things are more complicated. BSNMP uses a special file format (the .def files) to automatically create some tables and #defines when you implement a MIB. If you invent your own MIB, you normally write the .def file from scratch. It basically contains the same info as the MIB file, but in a less baroque and more machine-parsable format. If you're going to implement a MIB for which you already have a MIB file you can shorten the time to write the .def file by feeding the MIB file into gensnmpdef. It will create you an initial .def file, which, in most cases, you have to edit, though. But having the .def file is only the start of implementing. Because then you must write the action routines that actually implement the MIB behaviour. You might look under /usr/src/contrib/bsnmp/snmp_mibII. Here you find an example .def file the contents of which you might find familiar. The .c files there implement the semantic of the standard MIB-2. gensnmpdef is not built automatically, because it requires libsmi which you need to install from ports. harti ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Actually, syslog should be just fine without getting a trailing newline; from the manpage: The message is identical to a printf(3) format string, except that `%m' is replaced by the current error message.

Re: how to make a patch
On 2007-10-16 15:10, Aryeh M. Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I found and fixed a bug in one of the ports how do I make a patch file (I only changed one line in one file) and who do I send it to? If you know precisely the file, you can use diff(1) to generate the patch file. Note that patch files for ports have to be constructed in a special way, so that the make patch target can find them and apply them correctly. 1. Keep a copy of the patched file around, i.e. at `/tmp/foo.c' 2. Clean-up the work subdirectory of the port, and extract a clean version of the port's patched source: # cd /usr/ports/editors/foobar # rm -fr work # make patch 3. Enter the work/foobar-1.0 build directory of the port, and save the original, unpatched file you want to modify at port-build-time: # cd work/foobar-1.0 # cp src/foo.c src/foo.c.orig 4. Now overwrite the build-tree copy of `foo.c' with the saved copy from step 1. # cp /tmp/foo.c src/foo.c 5. Use the diff utility from within the `work/foobar-1.0' tree to generate a ports-based patch: # pwd /usr/ports/editors/foobar/work/foobar-1.0 # diff -u src/foo.c.orig src/foo.c /tmp/patch-src-foo.c 6. Now that you have the 'fix' as a patch in /tmp/patch-src-foo.c, you can remove the temporary `work' directory of the port, and install the patch in `files' as a normal ports-based-patch: # cd /usr/ports/editors/foobar # rm -fr work # cp -i /tmp/patch-src-foo.c files/ If there's already an existing `patch-src-foo.c' file in `files', the last command will prompt you for overwriting the old patch. Don't do it. Just pick a non-conflicting name for the second patch which applies on top of `src/foo.c', i.e.: # cp -i /tmp/patch-src-foo.c files/patch-src-foo.c-bugfixname where `bugfixname' is a tag which can help the port maintainers understand why this patchfile is needed. After you have installed `patch-src-foo.c' in the `files' subdirectory of the port, you should be able to run: # cd /usr/ports/editors/foobar # make patch and your patchfile should be applied automatically. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

JR JRAfter reading the manpages for bsnmp and gensnmptree I believe gensnmptree is JRthe command I need to use. JR JRThis is where I get into trouble. The gensnmptree command doesn't give me JRany results no matter what I do. Even using a bug report example of JRgensnmptree -e sysName gives me no results. JR JRSo I proceeded to do some more google searching and noticed gensnmpdef was JRreferenced several times as the program which may be what I need to use. JR JRI found the code for this in /usr/src/contrib/bsnmp/gensnmpdef without a JRmakefile. There is no gensnmpdef in /usr/sbin on the system but it is in JRthe /usr/ports/net-mgt/bsnmpd/pkg-plist. JR JRSo I guess I need some guidance. Can I use gensnmptree to get this MIB into JRthe bsnmp system? If so how is this done? -or- Is there a problem with the JR6.2 release for gensnmpdef and that is in fact the program I am suppose to be JRusing? JR JRAny assistance would be appreciated. Well, yes that would be the tool, but things are more complicated. BSNMP uses a special file format (the .def files) to automatically create some tables and #defines when you implement a MIB. If you invent your own MIB, you normally write the .def file from scratch. It basically contains the same info as the MIB file, but in a less baroque and more machine-parsable format. If you're going to implement a MIB for which you already have a MIB file you can shorten the time to write the .def file by feeding the MIB file into gensnmpdef. It will create you an initial .def file, which, in most cases, you have to edit, though. But having the .def file is only the start of implementing. Because then you must write the action routines that actually implement the MIB behaviour. You might look under /usr/src/contrib/bsnmp/snmp_mibII. Here you find an example .def file the contents of which you might find familiar. The .c files there implement the semantic of the standard MIB-2. gensnmpdef is not built automatically, because it requires libsmi which you need to install from ports. This explains much about what I was confused with. Thank you for the quick response. It was fairly simple to get the port installed and get /usr/src/contrib/bsnmp/gensnmpdef compiled and installed. From there I went and built my ucd_tree.def file using gensnmpdef which I had to edit as you said. I see after doing this and looking into the examples you suggested this would be a bit more involved then I initially thought. I was able to generate some .c/.h files using gensnmptree but from there the legwork goes beyond me a bit. Looks like I have to look into this deeper. I do have one remaining question. How is the gensnmptree -l command used exactly?

Actually, syslog should be just fine without getting a trailing newline; from the manpage: The message is identical to a printf(3) format string, except that `%m' is replaced by the current error message.

In addition Linux has /proc/self/ link which is named curproc in FreeBSD. Isn't it better to have the same interface across the systems? Maybe. Why don't you get the Linux guys to change theirs? FreeBSD has been around longer. Well, technically no. BSD predates linux, but linux predates FreeBSD by a few years. In general though, linux is a reimplimentation and they've had a habit of changing things in the process, but for any given interface it's not generally accurate to say linux is the reimplimentationsometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. procfs was an innovation of plan9, so I suppose the thing to do would be to refer to *their* procfs. However, either way. I have 1 linux box, something like 15 FreeBSD boxen, and I have to say that on procfs, linux generally does a job that I prefer to see. On FreeBSD, it feels more tacked on, while on linux it feels like there's a lot of rich information there.

What port did you install exactly? Installing one of the
postgresql[XX]-client ports will end you up with all of the manpages,
but none of the commands that you would only need if there was a
server installed, such as initdb, postgres, postmaster and so on and
so forth.
My guess is you need to install the corrosponding
postgresql[XX]-server to match the client you already have installed.
