Re: sticky bit q-mail and DHCP

2002-07-24 Thread Randall Creighton


Just wondering, but if you are  hosting your own domain shouldn't you 
have a static ip address? or is there a way to inform dns about your ip 
address should it change?

Ok, I guess my question is, DHCP automatically fills in the host part for
me. But since I host my own domain, should I overload the tellus.ab.ca and
change it to kooper.ca. I was thinking other packages such as sendmail or
qmail would use this thinking my domain is tellus.ab.ca. I couldn't find any
info on that.

Thanks for the 1000 I was reading up and down that man list.

1. I am using my home computer that uses a DHCP. In /etc/rc.conf
my hostname is automatically entered. I realize this is the name of
my computer given to me from my ISP. I purchased my domain
kooper.ca. Should I change the hostname in /etc/rc.conf to
hostname=dell.kooper.ca.  If not, what would the origional host
name be used for? I'm sure I should change it.
  

The short answer is it doesn't matter.
Hostname and DNS name are quite different.  While you can
make them the same, they really don't have to be.
When people lookup dell.kooper.ca, only the DNS
is used.  The hostname is irrelevant.




2. chmod +t /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d
What does it mean by sticky bit + t
  

man chmod
Look under the MODES section and find 1000.

Re: where is /dev/ukbd0

2002-07-24 Thread Adam Weinberger


it looks to me like the man page is not in sync with the faq. i'll
submit a patch for that.

i'd go with what the manpage says. please read the manpage. it contains
much better instructions that the excerpts here:

you need to compile your kernel with options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV.
you need to cd /dev  sh MAKEDEV kbd0 kbd1
you need to remove the device atkbd line from the kernel
you need to run:
kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0  /dev/ttyv0  /dev/null as the system
boots, in something like your /etc/rc.local

Re: Step by step securing web server/ A/V live streaming

You really must get out of the mindset that says just because I'm
using software package foo, I'm secure.  It's not the software that
secures the machine, it's the Sys Admin.  Which is to say that you can
start with the best and most respected software on the planet and by
not configuring it with due care and attention turn it into something
with about as much integrity as a wet paper bag.

However, FreeBSD is a good choice for setting up a secure system.
Correctly configured it can be one of the most secure of the readily
available operating systems available.  As for texts and other
resources to learn about securing computers, there is a great deal
available all over the web, which you can Google for yourself.  A good
general text, which should give you the sufficient of the basics to
know what to Google for, is Computer Security Basics, Debby Russell
and G.T Gangemi Sr, O'Reilly and Assoc. 1991 --

 If I am doing Microsoft Media video/audio streaming
 640x480 300kbps streams what kind of computer can I

 website where they can watch the stream that will be
 embeded in the webpage.

Unfortunately, here you are S.O.L.  At the moment, you have to use a
Microsoft server to do MMS.  There was a recent announcement from
RealNetworks about their open sourcing much of their portfolio --
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/26320.html
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2002/07/22/OSCON_day1.html --
which does offer the promise of support for serving some Windows Media
formats from all our favourite OSes.  Don't get too excited though ---
the announcement has only just been made, and it's possible there will
be some sort of legal wrangle between Microsoft and RealNetworks over
the WMS stuff.

 In the above case does the streaming server have to be
 big or the web server or both?  If someone could give
 me specs on what kind of cpu to use for both it would
 be most appreciated.

Separate streaming and web servers sounds like a good idea to me.  As
for the spec on those machines, we can't tell you anything meaningful
without knowing how much data and how many files you need to pump out
every minute.  You also need to consider such things as whether your
architecture requires a back-end RDMS: should that be on the same box
as your web server, or on a separate machine?

Got past installworld, new problems however [WASRe: make installworld fails with mergemaster errors - 4.4Rel upgrade to 4.6 Stable]

2002-07-24 Thread sroberts



Hi Doug,
   Thanks for getting back to me. I actually got around that problem in the end.

However upon completing the upgrade, I noticed a couple of things:

1] startx has stopped working (just XFree86-4.0.2 from the 4.4 CD Set, no gnome
of kde installed as yet)

typing startx for any user just sits there doing nothing (after 5 mins or so I
killed it with cttrl c)

2] All user account except that for root disappeared.

3] During bootup apache failed with unable to find my FQDN. After login (as
root) ps waux | grep httpd returns nothing.

4] The box does not ask me to enter a password when logging in as root on the
console

I'm not sure if this is the right way to get the above queries addressed, but
let me know if I should post another to the list.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

2002-07-24 Thread sroberts



Hello Brian,
 Thanks for the reply.

As I'm actually still going through bringing the up to a usable state, the
disappeared user accounts are not too much of a problem at the moment. Its the
lack of authentication for root login I'm really concerned with on this point!

I'll take a look at XFree86Config and check for anything untoward. I've not used
ktrace, nor kdump before. Are they used in the same way as truss? 

However, as I do intend on upgrading XFree86 to XFree86-4.2.1 today, would it be
more effective to re-install (remove  install latest version), or simply
upgrade the current version (via portupgrade)?

ps waux - show process report, [-a: include all process with a tty session] +
[-u:  report user ID for each process listed] + [-w: show wide output]

So, seeing that apache is configured to start on bootup, I would have expected
to see a process called httpd running with variou runtime options listed in the
returned process table - which of course, I don't.

I really am hoping that I could aviod having the reinstall FBSD again here. This
install's taken well over two days of debugging already:-

initial install took the default XFree86-3.3.6x (didn't want that)
The box hung at installation when I included gnome desktop (hence only
XFree86-4.0.2 installed this time around)


Well., thanks again for taking the time, Brian. Hope that what I've included
here lights a few bulbs in a few peoples' heads before too long.

 Something went wrong with mergemaster.  Perhaps you installed when you
 should 
 have merged.  (Or perhaps the problem is with the weird make stuff you
 cite 
 below.  I don't believe that I ever did anything of the sort and things 
 worked ok for me.)
 
 Regardless, the solution is simple:
 Restore your /etc/passwd /etc/master.passwd from backup.

Restating
your problem. Every thing works as expected for requests originating from
the public internet, But any requests origination from the LAN behind your
firewall gets denied. This
could very well be a IPFW firewall rules problem. You have to have a IPFW
rule to allow all originating LAN traffic to pass through the firewall. For
each LAN Nic card you have on your GATEWAY/IPFW FBSD box, you must have an
corresponding rule in the IPFW rules file like this.

allow
all from any to any via xl0 Where xl0 is the FBSD
NIC card device name of your Lan Nic card. This rule normally is located in the
beginning of the IPFW rules file. If you still need help post your IPFW
rules file for review.

Hi. I
changed my network setup a while ago. I had to put everything behind a

forwarded all the services to that ip. The problem is, you can all go to my
site, http://www.unixhideout.com,
but if I click that url, my router pass box pops up I had to temporarily
change ALL the links in my site, for example img src="http://www.unixhideout.com/img/blah.gif
to img src="/img/blah.gif.. and I access the box using http://192.168.1.20 I dont want to have to
do this, and a lot of things do not work for me and its my site!! Well, I
posted this a while ago, and a lot of people said if I ran my own DNS for my
domain, I could stop this from happening.. Well I took the time to learn DNS
a bit, and im running it now, and I was wondering exactly what I need to
do.. In my unixhideout.com.hosts I specified
this..
