No, this is my first attempt with named and dhcpd. Each one seems to be fine separately but getting them to talk has been a stumbling block. Then you'll have to share pieces of your configuration, so we can see what is going on there. Maybe also share the information that you used to set it up (any how-to from the web?).

dual boot FreeBSD and openBSD

OpenLDAP 2.4.13/14/15: Need long time to autheticate since update from 2.4.11
Hello, since we updated ports on our FreeBSD boxes and so OpenLDAP from 2.4.11 - 2.4.15 and its sibblings authetication on the first attempt from a client to the server takes a long time. The phenomenon is on several flavours of FreeBSD the same (7.1-STABLE/i386 + amd64 UP and SMP and FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT/amd64 SMP). When login in on a client which is connecting to slapd for authentication the first attempt takes approx. 10 - 20 seconds to perform. In case of sshd, some users simply hit return getting to the second-try prompt and then the OpebLDAP server performs instantanously. In situations where someone can't perform the first auth-attempt with NULL/RETURN (like automated su/rsync/scp or something else) this behaviour boring. I tried to sniff on the server-client communication and watched the log but nothing shows up suspicious actions, everything seems all right except the wait on the first attempt. I try to track down the problem to a misconfiguration, but with OpenLDAP 2.4.11 everything runs fine as expected, so I suspect a change in LDAP. Besides, this behaviour is also present on freshly installed FreeBSD 8.0 boxes, so I doubt I forgot a relevant package to be updated when recompiling everything necessary to run OpenLDAP and its vicinity ...

Quick question Why are you using 6.4 instead of the latest (7.1)? Keep in mind that gnome2 has a lot of dependencies. That's just the nature of gnome2. When you say it didn't finish, did it stop and give you an error? When compiling gnome2 on FreeBSD, depending on your hardware, it can take quite a while to complete and sometimes it'll take up to a few hours to finish.

Re: is there a laptop ?
For Atheros, the exact chipset is still important... my Macbook's Atheros AR5008 (aka AR5418) does not work with the FBSD ath driver. i386 works if I ndisgen a kernel module from a WinXP driver, but I have not been able to ndisgen a module successfully for amd64, which is what I'd like to run. The kernel panics every time I load it. I'm using FBSD-7.1-amd64, so I can't speak of the capabilities of 8.0, but the hardware notes do not seem to have changed re the ath driver ( http://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/CURRENT/hardware/support.html#WLAN)...

A first one is simple but it may not give any guarantee that the situation will not appear in the future: install those ports by hand. I'll advice the second one. Write down all linux applications you use (i.e. print/acroread8, net/skype, etc.) -- not infrastructure linux ports (they should be installed as dependencies). Then pkg_delete those applications and linux*, unmount all linux filesystems, rm -rf /compat/linux/*.Then install linux applications and mount linux filesystems. HTH Attempting the first port failed - The entire FreeBSD installation was recently done - accomplished from an older 6.2 ISO - so I decided to do a portupgrade of linux-base.

Up to now, I only used the Tor client for Windows that comes with Privoxy, so never used Tor as-is, and never on the command line. If someone's used to using Tor, I have a couple of questions. On FreeBSD, I intend to use it to run a Python script to connect to a remote web server and download pages. Do I need to start the Tor server? Do I need a web proxy like Privoxy, or is the Tor client enough? How do set things up so my Python scripts connects to Tor? As with all things BSD, the tor server potential is a lot more valuable than it's tor user potential. All the user gadgets (vidialia, privoxy, etc.) are very fallible. As long as your machine has a routable connection to the internet, your machine can be tricked into revealing it's IP, in sooo many ways. I realize this is only some minor corporate espionage, but bad practice is bad practice. Don't feel safe with it. You want a transparent tor proxy, which you setup with freebsd and pf. You setup a separate lan with any number of machines (virtual machines?), all using the tor server as their default gateway and dns server. To the client machines, all they see is 100% normal internet traffic. They don't need tor, vidalia, privoxy or any other gizmos. It's completely transparent. Bear in mind, anything not encrypted is exposed to the exit router and everything else it normally would be. If you google Tor Transparent Proxy, this should be your first link: https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TransparentProxy Half way down they have the BSD / pf setup. Things not mentioned there (quite a few actually): You do not want to run tor as root, which unfortunately takes some tweeking to run properly as the default _tor user. Yes, you want to start tor automatically on boot with rc.conf: pf_enable=YES pf_rules=/etc/pf.conf tor_enable=YES You want routing disabled, you're actually doing redirection through pf, not routing. In pf.conf you want, at least: trans_port = 9040 transdns_port = 53 set skip on lo scrub in rdr pass on $int_if inet proto tcp to !($int_if) - 127.0.0.1 port $trans_port rdr pass on $int_if inet proto udp to port domain - 127.0.0.1 port $transdns_port You need to set group ownership on /dev/pf to _tor and set suitable permissions or sort this out somehow. _tor user needs access to /dev/pf And put this in devfs.conf so it survives a reboot. own pf root:_tor permpf 0660 You need to set net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedlow=54 or use some other method to allow the _tor user to bind to privileged ports. And put this in sysctl.conf so it survives a reboot. Obviously you should also run tor in a jail, but I'm not going to detail that. I had some bugginess with port binding, so I found it works best if you explicitly state, like so in /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc VirtualAddrNetwork 10.192.0.0/10 AutomapHostsOnResolve 1 TransPort 9040 TransListenAddress 192.168.0.1:9040 TransListenAddress 127.0.0.1:9040 DNSPort 53 DNSListenAddress 192.168.0.1:53 DNSListenAddress 127.0.0.1:53 RunAsDaemon 1 ControlPort 9051 Where 192.168.0.1 is the tor server's IP address of the interface being provided to the private LAN that will us it as their Default Gateway. Note also that if you try to set a ControlListenAddress without authentication setup, it will close all Control Ports on startup. So just leave it local. If it's not obvious, yes it's assumed you have a 2nd interface with a valid IP connected to a LAN that has a route to the internet. A major thing lacking is a command line tor control utility. And this is important. Sometimes you get crappy circuits, sometimes you get a hacker who is trying to SSL / SSH M-i-t-M you. You need to be able to flush the router and grab new circuits on demand. I just enable the control port locally and telnet to it. To get new circuits, on the control port (assuming you haven't set any authentication): AUTHENTICATE SIGNAL NEWNYM Then flush pf: pfctl -F all pftop is nice for watching your tor circuits (in ports). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Bug in tcp wrappers?
I think I've found a bug in libwrap/tcpwrappers. Before filing an actual
bug report I want to get some feedback here first.
A hosts.allow file with ~1000 ips on a single line(Haven't experimented
with other quantities yet), causes network daemons that use libwrap stop
accepting incoming network connections and use 100% cpu on an incoming
connection. This problem appeared because sshguard placed a large
number of IPs in my hosts.allow file triggering this bug.
I've left the affected daemons for a long period of time (once about 8
hours) and they don't seem to come back, so I think this is more than
just it taking a while to loop through a 1000 item array of IPs
The production system that was affected is FreeBSD 7.0-32bit
Test system is FreeBSD 7.1-32bit
Example hosts.allow file (IPs are randomly generated for purposes of
example)
sshd : 112.110.123.63 113.11.2.126 113.11.8.6 113.19.19.22
113.197.48.68 snipped 990+ IPs 116.48.108.244 116.48.11.19 : deny
ALL : ALL : allow
top output of affected system. sshd wcpu slowly crawls up to 100% over
about 30 seconds or so.

A few questions
1. Is this a known issue of any sort? I've done some searching on it,
but haven't found anything of interest.
2. Should this be reported to FreeBSD bug tracker, or to libwrap (or
both)? Basically, is FreeBSD's libwrap (more or less) in sync with the
main one, or is it completely separate?

Thanks for your precious help, The problem isn't in the last line. That's just a common impression when an error message isn't clear. You have to understand that the rc.d system, while it makes creating startup scripts easier, obfuscates (to some degree) what's going on in the backround. If you'll notice, there is no eval command in the snort startup script. What's being parsed by eval is /etc/rc.conf. If you'll look at /etc/rc.subr, you'll see that it uses eval to assess the values that you have assigned to the various variables used in the snort startup script. For example, it checks to see if you've enabled the script by evaluating /etc/rc.conf for the line scriptname_enable=YES.

Re: Error starting Snort via rc.d [SOLVED]
Paul Schmehl a écrit : --On Thursday, March 12, 2009 14:12:03 -0500 FreeBSD free...@optiksecurite.com wrote: Hello list! I'm running FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p3 with a fresh ports tree. I just installed Snort 2.8.2.2_2 from the ports. The problem is that I always got an error when I want to start/stop/restart Snort via /usr/local/etc/rc.d/snort. I isolated the part of the script that is outputting the error. The problem comes from the last line : run_rc_command $1 The error I get is : eval: 1: Syntax error: ( unexpected (expecting )) I don't have any problem starting MySQL, so I don't understand why there's a problem with this command only for Snort. Thanks for your precious help, The problem isn't in the last line. That's just a common impression when an error message isn't clear. You have to understand that the rc.d system, while it makes creating startup scripts easier, obfuscates (to some degree) what's going on in the backround. If you'll notice, there is no eval command in the snort startup script. What's being parsed by eval is /etc/rc.conf. If you'll look at /etc/rc.subr, you'll see that it uses eval to assess the values that you have assigned to the various variables used in the snort startup script. For example, it checks to see if you've enabled the script by evaluating /etc/rc.conf for the line scriptname_enable=YES. It checks the run_rc_command to see if the name is correct, what, if any, the arguments are that should be appended to the run command, what, if any, the extra arguments are, and so forth. I'll bet you have a snort variable in /etc/rc.conf that isn't quoted correctly.

Yes, the above is true. But many of the examples cited
by people noticing this problem are perfectly valid and

broken, owing in part to incompatibilities between the
system yacc currently used to build the parser and GNU
bison, which is used by the people who write bash. This
is true of both shells/bash and shells/bash3, but is more
noticeable in shells/bash. A fix has been proposed, and patches
are available, in the follow-up to:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/101230
The port's maintainer has been reluctant to switch to bison,
so this may not be the solution that is ultimately used to
fix the port, but you can use these in the meantime.
