Pw - name too long ??
Hi All, I am trying to add a user name with the pw command and get the name too long error after 15 or 16 characters. However, I also use Webmin which has allowed me to use much longer user names. Is there a switch or setting I am missing? Example: pw adduser longdomain-henry2 -w random -d /home/longdomain/henry2 -g nogroup -s /sbin/nologin -c henry two -h 0 Suggestions?

Howto on getting out of ld hell
Recently, I have been unable to install 'linux_base' from ports. I read a posting here regarding the 'svr4' module causing problems with the linux port. Previously I built my kernel with 'COMPAT_SVR4', I took it out and rebuilt the kernel. I am now getting an 'ELF Brand' error on startup, '0' is not recognized. My question is - Does anyone know of a document which thoroughly helps with getting out of ld hell?

It's going to need some time for the new code to become sufficiently bedded down that it's suitable for use on production servers. Thus there will be one or more releases in the 5.x-RELEASE series before 5-STABLE is branched. In the mean time, development will continue on the 4-STABLE branch, with 4.8-RELEASE due in March 2003.

OK. I think that the best approach to this is not to think of it as a
sendmail or an ipfw problem, but as a DNS problem.
Your problem, in a nutshell, is that hosts inside your network
(including your gateway machine) need to contact your mail (or
whatever) server directly on your private network, i.e. at
192.168.0.7, whereas hosts outside your network need to connect to the
nat'ed alias address 123.45.67.2 on your gateway machine.
So the simple answer to your troubles is to set up your DNS so that on
an internal machine, looking up your mail server in the DNS gets a
response like:
% host smtp.example.com
smtp.example.com has address 192.168.0.7
smtp.example.com mail is handled (pri=10) by smtp.example.com
and from anywhere else in the world, the response looks like:
% host smtp.example.com
smtp.example.com has address 123.45.67.2
smtp.example.com mail is handled (pri=10) by smtp.example.com
Now, one way you might do that is just to use a separate DNS box for
internal clients, which contains a set of zone files for the
example.com domain with the internal numbers, and set up resolv.conf
on all your internal machines to point to it.
However, you've already got a perfectly good DNS server and I'm sure
you don't want the hassle of maintaining two machines where one would
do. That's alright, but you will need to install BIND 9 from ports,
which is fully capable of presenting a different view of the network
depending on where the question comes from. So in your named.conf on
your authoritative server you would have something like this:
acl internalnet {
192.168.0.0/24;
}
options {
[...]
}
view private in {
match-clients {
internalnet;
};
zone . in {
type hint;
file named.root;
};
zone example.com in {
type master;
file internal/example.com.db;
};
zone 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa in {
type master;
file internal/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa.db;
};
zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa in {

};
}// view private
view public in {

};
zone 67.45.123.in-addr.arpa in {
type master;
file external/67.45.123.in-addr.arpa.db;
};
}; // view public
Note that if you use views at all in your named.conf, all zone
statements must occur inside a view statement. See the BIND

Thanks for going to all this trouble, Matthew. I had a gut feeling it was
going to be the DNS. Now,
panic using new install of 4.7 RELEASE
I have a fresh install of 4.7 RELEASE on a AMD K6-200 with 32 MB RAM. And, I keep getting kernel panics. The first sign of any problem was while I was installing. I checked the CD for md5sum errors. But, it was ok. So, I tried an FTP (passive) install. Still, every attempt crapped out until I finally selected the minimal install. All that I can remember it would say was, syncing disks... Now that I have an installation, another problem occurs when I run portsdb -Uu. It get about 5 minutes through and then it panics and does an automatic reboot. I've tried to capture the messages to screen. But, it usually reboots before I can write it all down. One message on the screen that I haven't been able to catch completely says something like: panic: vm_object_deallocated allocated too many times. Another message is longer and stays on screen. It says: quote Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0xc4427f42 fault code= supervisor write, page not present instruction pointer= 0x8:0xc0376d4f stack pointer = 0x10:0xc41f2c88 frame pointer = 0x10:0xc41f2c90 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 84538 (sh) interrupt mask = none trap number=12 panic: page fault syncing disks... /qoute My guess is that I have some bad memory or something. But, that's just a very uneducated guess. Thanks for any help, Darren To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

No route to host
Hi - hope someone can help - I've got 4.6 up on a laptop. With the Generic kernel all is well with networking. I then recompiled the kernel. the only changes made to the GENERIC file was the addition of the ipfw stuff (including default_to_accept) and the netgraph definitions. All compiled and installed without a hitch. However, any attempt to access the network (telnet, ping, whatever) results in No route to host. Even when trying to ping 127.0.0.1 Booting the original kernel back up restores networking. I get the feeling I've missed something. Any ideas? Thanks.

Sure; just specify your own script, using pccard.conf.
Instead of the default pccard_ether, you can do a specialized script
that sets the medium before invoking dhclient.
Thanks for this tip, it was most helpful. After reading around a bit in
/etc/pccard_ether I found that there was an optional execution of
/etc/start_if.{if} and /etc/stop_if.{if} so I now have ifconfig ep0
media 10Base2/BNC in start_if.ep0.

ISTR Postfix replies with 450 to (almost) all errors by default.

Postfix's new sender address verification is extremely effective in blocking crap that used to get through, but it always returns 4xx so your reject counts go through the roof as SAV 4xx rejects are re-tried 100's of times. But, in fact, this is more of a resource consumption for the senders than it is on your MX. And the advantage of keeping this crap out of your system outweighs the higher rate of repeated rejects.

Working remotely.
Hi,
This may have come up before but I've not found anything after
searching Google that quite satisfies the question.
I run my laptop on my network during evenings but during the daytime I
attend college, where I really need to access my documents, mail, etc.
Is there any method of synchronizing the laptop with the server (I have
an NFS exported homedirectory and use NIS/YP for authentication).
I have considered writing a script that uses rsync to synchronize the
laptop with the server, in so much as maintaining a local copy of the
homedirectory -- I can do this quite effectively using
/etc/start_if.{if}. However, I have various problems with my Maildir
mailbox (files have letters appended to the filename depending on their
status) that could cause data loss or duplication.
The second problem is with authentication -- is there any way to cache
usernames/passwords so that I can still log on without an NIS/YP server
being available? If not, would the best method be to set up a local
server mirroring the NIS/YP database and authenticate against this?
Basically, I want to be as productive away from my network as I am at
it but there seem to be various things that don't allow this to happen.
Has anybody found good solutions to them?
I would be eager to hear what anybody has to say on this matter.
Many thanks,
-lewiz.

Re: Working remotely.
Lewiz,
Reading your questions, I am left unclear as to whether the NFS, NIS/YP, and
server are at home, or at work.
However, I'll try to answer your questions, based on about 15 years of
administering these sorts of setups.
I have considered writing a script that uses rsync to synchronize the
laptop with the server, in so much as maintaining a local copy of the
homedirectory ...
This is the crux of the matter; you need a local copy.
The question then becomes, which is the master and which is the slave, or
copy? I recommend thinking of your laptop's current contents as the master,
it makes things easier but if your server is providing megastorage for your
MP3 collection, you're going to have to evolve your own, more complex
algorithm for synchronizing specific elements of your home directories on
each system with one another.
Perhaps this is a better approach, anyway; what needs to be synchronized? If
you're using it as a backup mechanism, maybe tar(1)'ing up your home
directory into a timestamped tar(5) file and copying that to the server mkes
more sense, along with a complementing script that deletes all tar(5) files
over N days old, to keep disk usage to a minimum.
The other problem is the relationship between NIS/YP login information and
your local login information. It sort of sounds like this laptop was built
with a built-in NFS/NIS/YP dependency that assumed that you'd be using it on
campus only. Not very well thought out, or tested, IMHO.
I would recommend creating a login which we will call your 'off-campus',
'roving', or 'disconnected' login. This login has a UID and GID of N, and a
home directory of, say, /local/home/roving.
Create a corresponding login which in every way matches the data found by
using the ypcat(1) command (they still have ypcat(1), don't they? It was so
damned useful, except for IT-embarrassing moments like when one's corporate
passwd file ended up on the Internet ... of course, this was before shadow
passwords. But I digress).
Make sure you reference the NFS home directory.
Now, either sync your laptop home directory to a subdirectory of your server
home directory, or vice versa (rsync(1) is fine, tar(1) is good too),
according to disk space and whimsy, and you're done.
If you ever have problems logging in (and YP was notorious for problems, you
need a working ypslave or three on every subnet, and a lot of people balk at
that sort of resource allocation), just use your 'roving' login to access
your local resources while, perhaps, running some sort of script to diagnose
the problem so that you can help your IT department fix it faster.
For instance, ypcat(1) might deliver a truncated map, or no map at all, or
maybe the ypserver's not responding to pings, or ...
Hope this helps !!

Hi,
This may have come up before but I've not found anything after
searching Google that quite satisfies the question.
I run my laptop on my network during evenings but during the daytime I
attend college, where I really need to access my documents, mail, etc.
Is there any method of synchronizing the laptop with the server (I have
an NFS exported homedirectory and use NIS/YP for authentication).
I have considered writing a script that uses rsync to synchronize the
laptop with the server, in so much as maintaining a local copy of the
homedirectory -- I can do this quite effectively using
/etc/start_if.{if}. However, I have various problems with my Maildir
mailbox (files have letters appended to the filename depending on their
status) that could cause data loss or duplication.
The second problem is with authentication -- is there any way to cache
usernames/passwords so that I can still log on without an NIS/YP server
being available? If not, would the best method be to set up a local
server mirroring the NIS/YP database and authenticate against this?
Basically, I want to be as productive away from my network as I am at
it but there seem to be various things that don't allow this to happen.
Has anybody found good solutions to them?
I would be eager to hear what anybody has to say on this matter.
Many thanks,
-lewiz.

Unison might meet some of your needs: Unison File Synchronizer http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ I use it to keep files synchronized between my FreeBSD desktop and my FreeBSD ISP, between my Slackware laptop and my FreeBSD ISP, and between my Windows 2000 SP2 desktop and my FreeBSD ISP. Here's a quick description, taken from the project web page: Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. (It also works on OSX to some extent, but it does not yet deal with 'resource forks' correctly; more information on OSX usage can be found on the unison-users mailing list archives.) It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other. Unison shares a number of features with tools such as configuration management packages (CVS, PRCS, etc.), distributed filesystems (Coda, etc.), uni-directional mirroring utilities (rsync, etc.), and other synchronizers (Intellisync, Reconcile, etc). However, there are several points where it differs: * Unison runs on both Windows (95, 98, NT, and 2k) and Unix (Solaris, Linux, etc.) systems. Moreover, Unison works across platforms, allowing you to synchronize a Windows laptop with a Unix server, for example. * Unlike a distributed filesystem, Unison is a user-level program: there is no need to hack (or own!) the kernel, or to have superuser privileges on either host. * Unlike simple mirroring or backup utilities, Unison can deal with updates to both replicas of a distributed directory structure. Up- dates that do not conflict are propagated automatically. Conflict- ing updates are detected and displayed. * Unison works between any pair of machines connected to the inter- net, communicating over either a direct socket link or tunneling over an rsh or an encrypted ssh connection. It is careful with network bandwidth, and runs well over slow links such as PPP connections. Transfers of small updates to large files are opti- mized using a compression protocol similar to rsync. * Unison has a clear and precise specification. * Unison is resilient to failure. It is careful to leave the replicas and its own private structures in a sensible state at all times, even in case of abnormal termination or communication failures. * Unison is free; full source code is available under the GNU Public License.

YP/NIS timeout.
Hi, I'm wondering if there is any way to stop my system completely falling over when my YP/NIS server is no longer available? I am unable to login, even with my root account. I have a local user that I would like to use (when the YP/NIS server is unavailable) but this seems impossible. Any ideas on this matter? -lewiz. -- The reason we come up with new versions is not to fix bugs.

Re: Working remotely.
Lewiz notes: I would recommend creating a login which we will call your 'off-campus', 'roving', or 'disconnected' login. This login has a UID and GID of N, and a home directory of, say, /local/home/roving. To begin with when I read this I thought you must have been smoking something.

UNIX is truly about simplicity :) I shall get this implemented right away. My only consideration here is which goes first in the passwd file -- the roving user or the NIS/YP hash thingy? I'll play around with this and figure it out. I was actually less than clear about this, in my reply; rereading it, I saw that I had neglected to bridge the gap between the two UIDs, and hoped you would read between the lines and infer the answer from the clues I had provided. You did a great job. Sometimes I think this is the best way to teach; to lead someone close enough so that they can get that 'Aha!' rush, directly for themselves. (-; Either of the users can go first; they must have different login names (the key used to look up the corresponding userid) and can reference different home directories, but either login should be able to read and write to the local (and remote) account, as a consequence of their sharing userids and group ids. Alternatively, another way to approach it might be to create a pseudo-entry, as described previously, where your NIS data is encapsulated as a line in the local /etc/passwd file(s), and then put the two userids into a common, locally defined group; that plus appropriate group read-write-execute-search permissions would also allow them, again, to seamlessly share data. When using YP back in 1986, one of my problems was engineers getting tired of YP server timeouts and map failures, using their root passwords to create local entries, and then getting frustrated when they changed their YP passwords, a few weeks later, and were unable to login as a result of local entries having precedence over remote entries. What was a hassle, then, can be, under certain circumstances, a valuable feature.

Sorry, I have the NFS, NIS/YP stuff at home. The question then becomes, which is the master and which is the slave, or copy? I recommend thinking of your laptop's current contents as the master, it makes things easier but if your server is providing megastorage for your MP3 collection, you're going to have to evolve your own, more complex algorithm for synchronizing specific elements of your home directories on each system with one another. While, yes, as everybody I think these days, I have my music/video collection, I was planning on leaving that where it was :) However, I already had some rsync stuff going to work around the fact that I don't want/need all my mail for the past n years -- I have a current mail (3 months at the most) that I would be taking with me, I've accounted for this, as suggested. Perhaps this is a better approach, anyway; what needs to be synchronized? If you're using it as a backup mechanism, maybe tar(1)'ing up your home directory into a timestamped tar(5) file and copying that to the server mkes more sense, along with a complementing script that deletes all tar(5) files over N days old, to keep disk usage to a minimum.

It can work this way, but why do three servers need Internet connection? One can be a firewall the other two behind it serving up the data to local and Internet users on two local networks.

So, in knowing that, I used another computer to try to cause samba to break in the same way and I can't do it. I installed all the same ports and rebuilt the kernel and nmbd still ran.

Linux opera vs plugger?
Hello, I've just installed plugger for opera, and the installation appears to have gone smoothly (if rather long!). I'm trying to follow the installation steps at the opera website and I'm stumped at this step: 3] Make sure Opera finds the plug-in by adding /usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins/ to OPERA_PLUGIN_PATH or copy the plug-in to Opera plug-in directory: cp /usr/local/lib/netscape/ plugins/plugger.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins To cut to the chase, I can't seem to find this plugger.so anywhere. I checked in /usr/local/lib/netscape-linux/plugins: # ls -la /usr/local/lib/netscape-linux/plugins/ total 2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 16 20:13 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Sep 16 20:13 .. lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 41 Sep 16 20:13 ShockwaveFlash.class - /usr/local/lib/flash/ShockwaveFlash.class lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 38 Sep 16 20:13 libflashplayer.so - /usr/local/lib/flash/libflashplayer.so # Its not there. running a find from /usr/local doesn't locate it: # pwd /usr/local # find . -name plugger.so # Has anyone gotten plugger installed and configured with £inux Opera? Please get back to me if there's some step I neglected to do. Thanks for the time.

I have tried without the router (connecting directly to the cable modem), and get the same results. When browsing certain web sites, including www.cnn.com, there is about a 90 second delay when I load the first page; subsequent pages are quite fast. I don't get the same problem with Windows 2000.

Make sure the local user is above the + in your passwd file and you should be okay. Define unable to login.

Does any of you have such a file and would you be willing to share it
with me (us?).
Links to procmail and anti-spam would also be welcome.
Take a look at spamprobe in /usr/ports/mail/spamprobe. It uses

dns
Hello all. I have a freebsd box I'm using as a router for my subnet. I have this freebsd router doing nat and dhcp assinging internal ip addresses for the computers on the network (i.e. 192.168.x.x). This box is also a web server for a registered domain name. My probelm is that when someone wants to connect to my web site the dns gives them the internal ip of the FreeBSD box and not the external ip of the router. Can someone tell me how I get the FreeBSD's dns to point to the external ip address for my doimain? Thanks much. Sorry, this is more of a dns question than a FreeBSD one but the people who have helped me with other problems in the past were vastly experienced with this sort of thing so I thought this was my best chance of finding a solution. If any of you feel that this is not an appropriate question for this list, can you please guide me to a forum or list that would be more appropriate?

If it's those, how do I add them, because I'd obviously be missing them. Thanks for the help. Also, is there a Complete idiots guide to Nut or something similar that I could use?

Regarding my preference - Cyrus IMAPD has always worked well for my webmail server (not using Squirrelmail, though). -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * If they combined country with rap, would they call it crap?
