I think there is indeed a communication problem here :-) Pierrick, I don't know of any way to just do a 'base install' with all of those packages on FreeBSD. When you install FreeBSD using it's default installer (sysinstall), you have the option of specifying which packages you want installed initially. Just letting an installer install all of those packages on it's own is a bad idea. It makes me dislike SME and I haven't really looked at it. When you install a server, *you* should pick which packages to install. If you want SMTP, then choose SMTP during the install. If you want HTTP, then choose that. Also, you seem to be under the impression that having a firewall will protect you from lots of bad things. Really, it won't. All it will do if say which IP addresses can connect to which ports. And if you're running a service like DNS, HTTP or SMTP that you want open to the whole world, a firewall won't really help you at all :-) What is it you want fro myour firewall?

Pierrick, It sounds like what you want to do is get a basic install of a machine as fast as possible, and have it secure. Let's say I want to change for many reason. The first one is flexibility! I have the time to make a basic install and then install each package I do want. Last time I tried, I had my ADSL connection running fine, Firewall configured (almost everything closed), DHCPd, HTTPd, FTPd, SSH and DNS (was trying BIND and djbdns). Then I saw I didn't have much time to continue.. I had troubles with the firewall customization, samba was always giving errors, had issues with djbdns.. wanted to get back to BIND but a bunch of people told me djbdns is the one I should take. Then someone told me it's for professional and I had to use BIND. I was really lost so I backuped /etc/ and some other stuff and put the machine in a cupboard at home... And 1-2 months later I was posting here to find a flexible and easy to install complete freebsd server. But I was wrong :D Have to give me time to make this damn server work I think!

E.. The only real benefits you get from a firewall are: 1) controlling which IP addresses can access a service 2) *maybe* bandwidth shaping. *maybe*. 3) packet re-writing. That's all ? That's all really! I thought the firewall was THE thing to have when you have a server which is running 24 jours a day, 365 days per year! I don't mean any disrespect Pierrick, but it sounds like you're following what other people are telling you without really understanding it. Please read a coupel of the others emails I sent after the above one, and you'll see why having a firewall may or may not be useful. If it's not useful then don't use it. It won't help! Maybe one thing I forgot that a firewall can do, is watch and log inbound connections, but something like an Intrution Detection System (IDS) is better at that. And it can log hack-in attempts and other nasties. Snort is a good lightweight IDS. www.snort.org. I'm considering myself as a newbie under FreeBSD for the moment so I may be wrong about the next point but what you telling me is that I can restrict access to certain services to certains IPs ? So I would use the config file of each service to say this one can access, let's samba .. this one cant (interfaces=... in smb.conf if I remember correctly). Yes. Also look at 'man 5 hosts_access'. the file /etc/hosts.allow can be configured to allow or deny access to services in the same way. Eg, you could have these line in /etc/hosts.allow: netbios-ns : 12.34.56.1 : allow netbios-ns : ALL : deny this would allow netbios connections to port 137 for the ip address 12.34.56.1, but deny it to everyoen else.

Re: Confirmation: ext2fs requires kernel rebuild?
Thus spake Chris Pepper [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm trying to get at a file on an ext2fs slice. I'm a bit confused about kernel recompiles vs. KLDs for Linux compatibility, though. Am I reading correctly at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu.html http://www.seabug.org/archive/2000-05/msg00086.html, that I can run Linux applications with a single command or rc.conf entry, but accessing files on ext2 file systems requires a kernel rebuild? This seems a bit backwards -- is anyone aware of work to make ext2fs a standard module, so it can be loaded under GENERIC? Running Linux binaries and using Linux filesystems are two completely different things. To to the former, and the appropriate rc.conf entry and install ports/emulators/linux_base as described in the Handbook. To use ext2fs, you can either add the option EXT2FS to your kernel config to compile it statically into your kernel, or you can load the ext2fs module dynamically, even into GENERIC. To do the latter, the module must exist; it will be created if you make the kernel with -DWANT_EXT2FS_MODULE. It is also installed by sysinstall, IIRC.

I wish to make it SSL enable server with using SSLeay. Can anyone give me an advice on how to install Apache-SSL in my current server. Uh --- nowadays you'ld want to use OpenSSL which is based in part on the SSLeay stuff. Anyhow, I'm afraid that to make an SSL enabled apache, you've got to delete your original apache and re-install. There's two choices: ports/www/apache13-ssl This builds an apache httpd with the SSL stuff linked directly into the main application. See http://www.apache-ssl.org/. Somewhat more popular and what I personally prefer to use, (and incidentally the basis for the bundled HTTPS support in apache2) is: ports/www/apache13-modssl whilst this looks like (indeed, *is*) a DSO type loadable apache module (like mod_php4 etc.), it isn't the same as other loadable modules It builds against a specially patched apache source tree. The patches provide the 'EAPI' extended application programming interface business that mod_ssl requires. It also has a dependency on a portable memory management library 'libmm'. http://www.modssl.org/ Make sure you use a version of OpenSSL later than 0.9.6d --- either install the OpenSSL port or run a recent version of -STABLE so you don't get bitten by FreeBSD-SA-02:33.openssl (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-02%3A33.openssl.asc) Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
HELP (or, now I've done it!) Vinum, RAID, and drivefailure...
Hoping that the gods are with me and that you knowledgeable people can assist me with this _really_ big screw up... FreeBSD4.6-stable I was setting up Vinum (rather successfully I might add) until last when I tried to configure a second mirror with two different drives... All I can tell you is this... I had one vinum mirror set-up with this info: drive da3 device /dev/da3s1e drive da4 device /dev/da4s1e volume mirror setupstate plex org concat sd length 0 drive da3 plex org concat sd length 0 drive da4 Working fine. I moved /usr to that mirror and edited /etc/fstab to point /usr to this new mirror -- which worked fine. Then I wanted to set-up another mirror on another two drives, so I (stupidly) changed that vinum.conf to the following: drive da3 device /dev/da3s1e drive da4 device /dev/da4s1e drive da1 device /dev/da1s1e drive da2 device /dev/da2s1e volume mirror setupstate plex org concat sd length 0 drive da3 plex org concat sd length 0 drive da4 volume mirror1 setupstate plex org concat sd length 0 drive da1 plex org concat sd length 0 drive da2 And started vinum and used the create -f command. Then there was an error, something about no space on one of the devices (presumably, the device where the mirror was already working). Next thing I know there's a kernel panic or something that stops the system. If I reboot, the kernel panics with a fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode message... Vinum sais that a device is not functioning properly and can't 'sync' the devices... I can't figure a way around this. The /usr (and binaries) are not accessible, neither is my data. I can't start the system. I'm hoping you can help... (Wish I spent the 10 minutes and made that 'one last backup') All I'd like to do is reverse that last vinum configuration... but I can't get to any of the binaries because /usr is offline. I don't mind re-building the system, but I moved my last back-up to that first mirror (which I thought would be safe) and now I don't have access to it. Signed 'having a rough day', phillip.

Re: problem with bind and rndc
On Tue, Nov 19, 2002 at 07:34:05AM -0700, RJ45 wrote: I installed new bind9 from the ports collection. I have FreeBSD 4.7 STABLE. The program /usr/local/sbin/rndc-confgen should generate the rndc.conf file for me and the rndc-confgen -a should generate a key fiule. the problem is that issuing the command /usr/local/sbin/rndc-confgen actually does nothing. The process goes to sleep and nothing happens... anyone has some clue about it ? Sounds like it's blocking while waiting for /dev/random. You need to generate more randomness --- generally the kernel random number generator keys off various interrupts, so plonking on the keyboard or slinging a few packets across the network while you're waiting might help. You can optimise the randomness collection by setting the rc.conf 'rand_irqs' variable to a list of irqs that see quite a bit of activity. To tell what irqs to use, look at the output of vmstat -i: % vmstat -i interrupt total rate pcm0 irq10 167517 0 de0 irq11 123060 0 mux irq5 375110 1 fdc0 irq6 2 0 atkbd0 irq1135100 0 psm0 irq121066199 3 clk irq0 31997147 99 Total33864135105 and pick the irqs corresponding to devices that get the most action. Don't use the clock interrupt (here irq0) as a regular tick is useless for generating random data...

RE: /etc/make.conf
Is there a way to scan the Makefiles in the bind, sendmail and games directories to grab the installed files so that I can write a script that deletes them? Maybe a generic setup? # cleanup src/contrib/bind src/contrib/sendmail src/games # Roman Neuhauser / 2002-11-19 # [EMAIL PROTECTED] / 2002-11-19 12:45:36 +0100: I recently setup /etc/make.conf with the following settings: NO_BIND=true# do not build BIND NO_SENDMAIL=true# do not build sendmail and related programs NOGAMES=true# do not build games (games/ subdir) This means 'do not BUILD' those parts of 'world'... right. Does this also mean that the old binaries of bind, sendmail and games are uninstalled? nope. If not, how can I uninstall them in a clean way? well, the best way is to gather what exactly gets installed in the exact version you installed, and rm those files/dirs. most probably with some find(1)-fu.

Re: restore question
You guys mentioned earlier that if you are able to you should dump from single user mode. No one ever talks about booting off the fixit CD. Wouldn't that improve your chances of a successful backup because you would be minimizing file changes. In Root you are still running off the / correct? Well, sort of, but in single user mode none of the daemons are running. The only changes that might get made are ones you make yourself. So, it not likely to be a problem. You are not likely to do anything else while the dumps are running. jerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: FreeBSD Easy Server
Pierrick Brossin wrote: I have the time to make a basic install and then install each package I do want. Last time I tried, I had my ADSL connection running fine, Firewall configured (almost everything closed), DHCPd, HTTPd, FTPd, SSH and DNS (was trying BIND and djbdns). Then I saw I didn't have much time to continue.. I had troubles with the firewall customization, samba was always giving errors, had issues with djbdns.. wanted to get back to BIND but a bunch of people told me djbdns is the one I should take. Then someone told me it's for professional and I had to use BIND. I was really lost so I backuped /etc/ and some other stuff and put the machine in a cupboard at home... And 1-2 months later I was posting here to find a flexible and easy to install complete freebsd server. But I was wrong :D Have to give me time to make this damn server work I think! [Moving to -chat, this is more of a random rant than answering the original question :-) ] :-) I think everyone has been in your situation at one time or another. But, I don't think any Unix system should be easy and quick to install. Operating Systems by their nature are very complicated things and when you add the complexities of web servers, mail servers, dns servers,... on top it gets even worse. But unless you take the time to make sure you understand what is going on and how the different parts interact, you'll never be able to troubleshoot your own problems. This is exactly what happened to you. If everything was installed and configured for you, I bet you wouldn't even know where to look for your system's configuration files let alone what to put in them or what the potential problem might be. FreeBSD has a steep learning curve, and I like it that way. You should take the time to learn your way around the system. Buy books (DNS BIND by Albitz and Liu is a great book), read manpages, google for solutions and information about your problems. Build your system up a stage at a time, over the course of months, and when you are finished (of course - you can never finish tweaking and playing with a system :-) ) you will be in a much more powerful and satisfying situation than any quick-install could have given you. I just installed Red Hat Linux 8.0 (which I need for a University project) on my system onto my now triple-booting desktop machine. And, popular though it is, I think it falls into exactly the trap that I am describing. It tries to be all things to all people and automates the installation and configuration of services such that the new administrator ultimately has little or no understanding of what's going on. When you have a system that is being that 'easy', you start to end up with an OS like Windows where the administrator is limited by his configuration tools and is ultimately inconvienced by his convienent operating system. I do worry that some Linux distributions are falling into this trap, and are breading new generations of system administrators who don't have a basic enough understanding of what's going on to properly troubleshoot when things go wrong. And something _always_ goes wrong eventually. :-) Andrew. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Question about memory usage
I'm running FreeBSD 4.5, on a P-133 system. I just upgraded my RAM yesterday from 80MB to 256MB, because it always used to sit at 93-94% used when I had 80.

Matt Winslow [EMAIL PROTECTED] BSD will use whatever memory you give it. Especially if you do a large compile or something of that nature. Going from 80 MB to 256 MB isn't that big of a step, esp. if it's a desktop system. Going from 256 MB to say 1.5 GB you should see your percentages drop somewhat. That is, for a desktop system. Remember that the memory usage statistics also contain shared memory and memory that is cached application data, which may be cleared and reused if a new application needs it. Also, in a server system, if you had 1 GB of memory and only showed 500 MB used, you'd have 500 MB of wasted memory to pull out and put in another box. 93% sounds like a good usage to me :) # John Bleichert # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Setting Host Parameters with /stand/sysinstall Scripts
I am building an install.cfg script to standardize our building and upgrading of servers. It works quite well so far, but one part seems to not take. This is the setting of local host parameters as in # My host specific data hostname=ns1.hardknocks.edu domainname=hardknocks.edu nameserver=10.0.0.1 defaultrouter=10.0.0.2 ipaddr=10.0.0.1 netmask=255.0.0.0 These are all variables that some function uses to build a new /etc/rc.conf file. What function is it that I am missing? I presently can get the script to extract and install the kernel sources and the general collection of sources without X as in: # Select which distributions we want. distSetDeveloper distSetKernDeveloper #Selects the standard kernel Developer's distribution set. # OK, everything is set. Do it! installUpgrade sysinstall tells me that the first part of the upgrade is successful and the appropriate directories seem to indicate that this is true. If I look at /etc/rc.conf, however, it is still in the state it was in before I ran the upgrade.

is this a gif() problem or something else
I am running an ipsec tunnel (gif/racoon) between an Alpha Freebsd box and a win2k box. I actually have several tunnels and they all set up and work. The key to this particular tunnel is that the servers are only a few hops away on a 100mb uplink. While transferring a large file (approx 900 mb), I'm seeing about 75mb/s, which is great. However, about 75-80% of the way thru, the alpha reboots and this error is logged in dmesg: fatal kernel trap: trap entry = 0x2 (memory management fault) a0 = 0x1c795105b6a647 a1 = 0x1 a2 = 0x0 pc = 0xfc4adec0 ra = 0xfc4a5b1c curproc= 0 panic: trap syncing disks... fatal kernel trap: trap entry = 0x2 (memory management fault) a0 = 0x58 a1 = 0x1 a2 = 0x0 pc = 0xfc5c4c84 ra = 0xfc5cbcc8 curproc= 0 I watched the load manually during the xfer and it never peaked over .81 that I saw. I'm suspecting this is either a problem w/ the gif() code (maybe specific to alpha build), a heat problem or a bad stick of RAM? Was curious if this rang any bells. I'd hate to spend a ton of time chasing down false leads if someone else has already been through this.

Free memory is wasted memory. If you have more of it, FreeBSD will use more, e.g. by caching things longer.

/usr/ports/finance? WAS [make index fails with repeated Warning:Duplicate INDEX entry: Stop in /usr/ports/finance msgs]
Sorry if this second post irks some, but in looking at the warnings / errors indicated in my earlier post I noted that there is a complaint about /usr/ports/finance. However a quick look at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html reveals that this ports dir does *not* exist. Now only today, I rm -rf /usr/ports/* and re-cvsup ports-all, so how is it that I could end up with a ports dir that doesn't exist (at least at the above url)?

Re: Basic mail and Sendmail problem
When I know try to send a mail to 'userone' with 'mail -v userone' I get the following error (same error in /var/spool/clientmqueue): userone... Connecting to localhost.mydomain. via relay... userone... Deferred: Connection refused by localhost.mydomain. One more thing to add: This works fine, when I am connected to my ISP. So this might be a problem with DNS configuration? I just had a similar problem with a couple of my machines. Try changing the 'search' line in resolv.conf to a local domain name. For instance, my /etc/resolv.conf file is like this: search localdomain.net nameserver ?.?.?.? (real dns servers) nameserver ?.?.?.? And my /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain.net 192.168.19.1 gateway gateway.localdomain.net .. sendmail_enable=NO in /etc/rc.conf My big problem was my isp's DHCP server was assigning me a domain-name which would change my resolv.conf file. To solve that I had to add a supersede line in dhclient.conf. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
RE: IMGATE
We've been using IMGate for a couple of years. Couldn't live without it. Currently it's removing about 15-20K spam messages a day. An added benefit of using a mail gateway like IMGate is that if we need to take down our POP server, the IMGate will store all mail and deliver them when the POP server is up again. IMGate is running postfix and added scripts. It's not that complex but we chose to have Len Conrad (the author if IMGate) install it for us.

Hello Marc, Thanks for that pointer, explains some, then again raises other questions for me. Namely, (not complaining here) why would a new dir be created with nothing in it, and included in cvs? At the moment, (after trying 3 geographically different cvsup servers) this inclusion breaks my ability to run make clean in /usr/ports big time. Nice to know what's happened (funny, I *am* subscribed to ports@freebsd) finally, that e-mail must have slipped me. Cheers for that info.

I had one vinum mirror set-up with this info: ... Working fine. I moved /usr to that mirror and edited /etc/fstab to point /usr to this new mirror -- which worked fine.

Changing the boot manager
I currently have the booteasy boot manager on my FreeBSD system, so it prompts me with a menu on startup (F1 FreeBSD) and waits 5 seconds before defaulting to F1. But I only have FreeBSD my box. Is there any way to go back to the simpler, standard boot code that loads FreeBSD directly? I have read about boot0cfg, which is supposed to allow me to change the MBR, but I can't seem to find the correct boot code to install there to get rid of booteasy. -- Anand Buddhdev To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

You are probably right. In that case, take a look at the 'Virtual' directive in your XF86Config file (probably /etc/X11/XF86Config). It is located in the Screen subsection of the config file. Basically, X will, by default, give you a virtual desktop with as large a resolution as your monitor will support, unless you specifically tell it to hold itself to a given resolution with the 'Virtual' directive. Nathan Sorry, let me clarify that. X will give you a virtual desktop as large as the largest Mode that you have defined in Screen subsection. However, most X config utils will create a mode for the highest resolution/color depth possible for your hardware, even if you don't choose that as the default setting.

Re: console, ssh and so on ...
Glenn Becker [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Anyhoo, the problem is: when I am in console and ssh into my mail box, the display (in Pine, which is what my ISP has ... I'd use Mutt otherwise) is a bit funky. Not sure what words to use to describe it, but messages overlap so that when it -appears- I am on one message, I am really on the next, and so on. I can sort things out by first down-arrowing over everything, but that's kind of a pain ... and it still leaves a few 'ghost' lines at the top of the screen. It would seem that the # of lines on the screen is off, or the terminal type is wrong, or something along those lines. I've flailed around with switching term types, but that doesn't seem to do anything. No, it wouldn't -- if the server doesn't support your terminal type, then it doesn't support your terminal type. The easiest way around the problem would probably be to actually run a different terminal type. I think this can most conveniently be done with screen, but installing the vt100 console should help also.

Re: Basic mail and Sendmail problem
- Original Message - From: James Earl [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 10:29 PM Subject: Re: Basic mail and Sendmail problem When I know try to send a mail to 'userone' with 'mail -v userone' I get the following error (same error in /var/spool/clientmqueue): userone... Connecting to localhost.mydomain. via relay... userone... Deferred: Connection refused by localhost.mydomain. One more thing to add: This works fine, when I am connected to my ISP. So this might be a problem with DNS configuration? I just had a similar problem with a couple of my machines. Try changing the 'search' line in resolv.conf to a local domain name. For instance, my /etc/resolv.conf file is like this: search localdomain.net nameserver ?.?.?.? (real dns servers) nameserver ?.?.?.? And my /etc/hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain.net 192.168.19.1 gateway gateway.localdomain.net ... sendmail_enable=NO in /etc/rc.conf Why disable sendmail? My big problem was my isp's DHCP server was assigning me a domain-name which would change my resolv.conf file. To solve that I had to add a supersede line in dhclient.conf. Yeah. Had a similar problem on a local box. I also added a prepend domain-name and prepend domain-name-servers line to dhclient.conf; like so: prepend domain-name ns-cache-0.ns.nl.demon.net ; prepend domain-name-servers 194.159.73.135; supersede domain-name ns-cache-0.ns.nl.demon.net The trailing spaces ARE intentional.

FreeBSD gateway
Hello! I have installed FreeBSD 4.7 recently, and it seems it does not want to work as a gateway. I have two network cards in my FreeBSD computer, fxp0 for LAN and sis0 for the cable modem.

Dialing up via PPP
HI all. Looking for a good tutorial for dialing up to the internet using Freebsd from the console. I've looked around and found links for using Fbsd as a router and a firewall and whatnot. All I want to do is just login to my ISP, fire up lynx and surf. :) Anyone got a very simple tutorial somewhere that I can use as I've never worked with this before. Many thanks.

From your point of view (as needed for this problem) routers and gateways are the same. In this case the FreeBSD box is acting as a router for your internal net to the Internet. A simple router would do the same. But for more complex routing you have to either setup gated (or similar software) or add all rules (if they are static) by hand. A gateway is the simplest form of a router. The last two lines from dmesg: IP packet filtering initialized, divert disabled, rule-based forwarding enabled, default to deny, logging disabled ip_fw_ctl: invalid command That hints to a problem with the /etc/rc.firewall script (which is called when you add to /etc/rc.conf firewall_enable=YES). Please provide us with the output of ipfw list. (You have to do that as root of course). I think your firewall ruleset is not tuned for a gateway situation.
