Two xorg-server packages?
I seem to have two xorg-server packages on a FreeBSD system of mine, and I'm not sure why. With one of them, there's no problem: xorg-server-1.4_10,1= up-to-date with port One of them won't upgrade: xorg-server-1.2.99.903_1,1needs updating (port has 1.2.99.903_2,1) ** Port marked as IGNORE: x11-servers/xorg-server-snap: is outdated ** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed) - x11-servers/xorg-server-snap (marked as IGNORE) . . . and portaudit says it's vulnerable: Affected package: xorg-server-1.2.99.903_1,1 Type of problem: xorg -- multiple vulnerabilities. Reference: http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/fe2b6597-c9a4-11dc-8da8-0008a18a9961.html Why do I have this xorg-server-1.2.99.903_1,1 package? It appears to be nothing but an older version. Should I remove it, or figure out how to upgrade it? Is it actually just an older version of the same package, or is it a different/separate package entirely? Any help figuring this out would be appreciated. -- Chad Perrin [ content licensed PDL: http://pdl.apotheon.org ] print substr(Just another Perl hacker, 0, -2); pgphyfjeXYdyX.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Unable to reach hosts outside my subnet after initial installation
From: Derek Ragona [EMAIL PROTECTED] Check and/or create /etc/nsswitch.conf so you are looking in files and dns for hosts. Check or create /etc/resolv.conf make sure your upsteam DNS servers are listed in this file along with any local caching DNS servers. Thanks for the suggestion. Those files already exist with valid entries though. In any event, it doesn't seem like a hostname problem as I can nslookup arbitrary hosts and then try and then ping the IP numbers directly which fails for hosts beyond the local subnet. It seems more like a router/gateway network configuration type of problem. I've just discovered that when I ping the gateway's IP address, I get no answer. Now I know the gateway is functioning as every other host on the network can reach the rest of the internet and in fact, I've just successfully ping'd the gateway from the machine where I'm writing this message.

Re: Is FreeBSD suitable for my thinkpad T61 ?
in answer to Wojciech's ... there is already windows!, i don't think there is anything 'wrong' with that os. in fact, i rather liked win95 and win98. on old machines back then win95 was a really easy install and required only 50M - you had to work much harder to put on linux (especially X). there is nothing wrong in any product as long as it's sold with normal free marked rules, and nobody is forced using it. And that's the true problem with windows - that it is forced. for example - using our taxpayers money - it's in every school's computer and children have no choice but have their brain washed. but it's OT. however, things are very different now and the *nix world offers a lot more. if some people don't want this and prefer to pay for propriety, more limited software then they can certainly find what they are looking for with xp, vista and whatever else is conjured up. it's not more limited software, it's more limited from our point of view. from their point of view unix is limited, because you can't just click install and get cool colourfull icons and windows.

The size of the font can be varied by changing the 16 in that line. $ xlsfonts | less This did not give the output of bitstream vera sans mono. Does the dir /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/ exist? If not you have to install: x11-fonts/bitstream-vera and follow the instructions to change your xorg.conf and then restart X. If it exists, you have to add the dir to xorg.conf like so: FontPath /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/bitstream-vera/ under the Files section. Restart X. X should read ~/.Xdefaults on start up your font will be used for aterm. xlsfonts should also now list the bitstream vera fonts. Regards, Thanks a lot, it works. There is no font path in the xorg.conf, and after I add them in, it comes out. Another thing is, it did not recognize the \ to space, the will work. The font line I am using is: Aterm*font: -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1 Though the font seems a little bigger than I suppose, anyway, it works. Hi Kemian, I'm glad you got it working. To change the size of the font, you want to change the the first 0 in the line to the font size you require in pixels. E.g: I use: -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--16-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-15 for a 16px font. I like it big! You can test it beforehand by using xfd (in ports if not already installed) i.e: $ xfd -fn -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono\ -medium-r-normal--16-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-15 Use iso8859-15 if you want € (the euro) in your character set.

I am tired of a dual-boot system, so I want to just install FreeBSD or another linux distribution(maybe ubuntu) on my notebook. My questions are: 1) Can FreeBSD work well with my hardware?

If you have 4965AGN you need iwn driver which is only (i think) in -CURRENT (8.0) 2) I have read the FreeBSD Handbook.

Is the linux binary compatibility stable enough for work ? Thanks a lot. I run Matlab (maybe R14SP3 or something similar) under FreeBSD 7-STABLE on this laptop with linux_base-fc4.

If not, check the arp table on the gateway to see if your new machine has shown up. Check that 128.32.157.5/32 routes the same place as the rest of the /24. Only things I can think of that haven't already been covered are firewalling on the gateway, a rogue route for the /32 on the gateway, and the arp table on the gateway being locked down or having a static entry (or really, really long expire times) for the IP address you've given newdewey. Ordinarily I'd worry that you had a longer netmask on the gateway than on your new machine, but with dewey at .3 (which works, yes?), newdewey at .5, and the gateway at .1, this would be hard to arrange. --Jon Radel smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

As you've probably read in my previous posts I'm having issues, most likely with the RAM. How would I go about slamming the RAM in testing? I was figuring I'd drop from 4GB to 1GB and just push the board with the same cp -rvn commands I've been running in an attempt to populate my 7TB RAID5. Also, am I using the wrong FS for the RAID? I partitioned it with gpt (1 large slice) and formatted it with newfs but is there another way? A better way? I read about ZFS recently but I am sure the speed of reading from a RAID5 is lost with it's redundancies.

64-bit?
I'm full of questions, I know... And I haven't been googling well lately but there seem to be a lot of you with a lot of knowledge and you're willing to share (as am I). This machine is running a D2C E4600 which (as I understand) is a 64-bit cpu, but I'm running fBSD 6.3 which is *not* 64-bit? Might this have anything to do with the crashes?

ssh Public Keys Suddenly Stopped working for one account.
We have an account on several FreeBSD systems that is used for automation. Several systems can talk to each other via ssh by using public keys so that scripts don't have to hold passwords. Last night, an account that has been working for years suddenly won't let any of its cyber cohorts in without a password. I bet I accidentally changed something sometime, but I can't figure out what. The public keys hadn't changed since 2005 although today, I blew them all away and made new ones which still don't work on this one system but work on all others. There is no password expiration timeout (the first thing I thought of) since the account is several years old. All other accounts on this same system with public keys from their remote partners still work fine. The ownership and permissions look right on the account directory. Does this sound familiar and what else am I missing? I can telnet in to the account on the localhost via the usual password which you can't do on an expired account. I even did a stupid sort of measure which was to reset the password to itself and that didn't change anything. Many thanks for other suggestions.

I've kind of gotten out of the habit of looking at auth.log since we put the system in question behind a firewall and it is not accessible from the general Internet any more. sshd[1746]: Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /usr/home/automation I said that the ownership looked okay for that directory. It needed to be 755 so everybody on the system in question can at least look at files in it. Somehow, yesterday or the day before, I accidentally had it set to 775 which is not good. I think I remember realizing I was in the wrong directory, once, and that may have been when I did it. sshd and sendmail will both refuse to operate on files that are writable by other than the owner. I had looked at those permissions several times and the fact that it was drwxrwxr-x instead of drwxr-xr-x hadn't sunk in yet. Many thanks.

Wojciech Puchar wrote: is it possible to make sendmail choose it's outgoing IP when sending mail from list of four in random or round-robin way? Not easily. sendmail(8) defaults to binding to all IPs on the machine (INADDR_ANY) and the IP it will use to send with will just be whatever would be the default from the routing table to reach the destination. You can control what interfaces sendmail will listen on by using the DAEMON_OPTIONS() macro in /etc/mail/$(hostname).mc and you can set what IP number the machine will use as the origin address using the CLIENT_OPTIONS() macro. However, CLIENT_OPTIONS() doesn't give you any method of cycling through multiple IP numbers. What could you do? Run four instances of sendmail in different jails as outgoing mail relays, each bound to a different IP. Supposing your server is called 'smtp.your.dom.ain' then you can make that an A record which returns those 4 different IP numbers. Clients looking the server up in the DNS will get a randomised list of IPs (or round-robin, depending on the configuration of the DNS servers you're using). Alternatively you can use one instance of sendmail and do NAT tricks to rewrite the packets on the way out of the firewall. See http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/nat.html and the 'NAT LOAD BALANCE' example in pf.conf(5). Note however that you should take care to ensure that the hostname your MTA helos as matches whatever IP or IPs are ultimately used in the connection to the other MTA, or your message may well be refused as likely to be spam. There are also recipes I've seen on the comp.mail.sendmail newsgroup for running sendmail with multiple virtual identities depending on the sender address of the e-mail, which isn't exactly what you asked for but might be good enough.

My question is how secure is FreeBSD (including KDE, GNOME and XFCE) to attacks, including cracking and spyware. In addition, is there anyway to prevent a user from executing a program that is not owned by root (i.e. any program installed by the user), this would prevent spyware being installed (assuming root has been properly locked down) and subsequently run. Ugidfw(8) can be used to help with the executable stuff. The same is true for using a restricted shell. The important thing is making sure to make sure the user can't execute any thing other than the few commands they are suppose to. If allowed access to execute any thing in a system bin/sbin path, you begin to run into issues with interpreters, which are as good as being able to execute something owned by them.

Re: Openvpn on FreeBSD 7

Thanks, --Andrew I have the same exact problem. I upgraded from 6.2-RELEASE to 7.0-RELEASE a while back, recompiled my installed ports, and since then I have problems with OpenVPN. I have a laptop (Windows XP SP2) at home and a desktop (FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE) at my office in the university. I have installed Samba 3.0.28,1 on my desktop and created a share. I can access the share from anywhere within the university network. But our university network is behind a firewall which blocks all incoming connections except SSH, so I cannot access my Samba share from home. What I did was to use Putty to SSH to my desktop at office, setup and OpenVPN client/server on my laptop/desktop computers, and forward all OpenVPN connections to my desktop through the SSH connection using Putty. Then I could connect to my Samba server. It used to work before upgrading to 7.0-RELEASE, but after that I can't access my shares from home. I have confirmed that my Samba share is working fine by accessing it from another computer in the university network, so the only culprit is OpenVPN. It connects, but apparently something is wrong and I can't access my data... Any ideas?
