Water Damage
My church had a fire in the computer room today. The equipment was not directly damaged by the fire as the sprinkler system put it out very quickly. However, the sprinklers ran directly on the equipment for a couple hours. There are several servers, routers, hubs etc. Most of them had water pouring out when we picked them up. All but one spare router were on during this. I have carefully dried out all the units. However, one of the hubs appears to be toast. Some of the burning residue fell down and was pulled into the hub by the fan and is imbedded into some of its chips. I didn't bother with cleaning that one up. However, there is no visible damage to the remaining gear. I am letting it sit tonight and will try a power cycle on it tomorrow. Presuming that any of it is still working, the question is can it be trusted for unattended operations anymore? While the cost of most of it is not significant, the configuration time is. It would be much easier to use it rather than set up new gear. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Eat pizza and lose weight?
Hi !
If you're like me, you've tried EVERYTHING to lose
weight. I know how you feel - the special diets,
miracle pills, and fancy exercise equipment never helped
me lose a pound either. It seemed like the harder I tried,
the bigger I got, until I heard about a product called
Power Diet Plus.
You're probably thinking to yourself, Oh geez, not another
miracle diet pill! Like you, I was skeptical at first, but
my sister swore it helped her lose 23 pounds in just two weeks,
so I told her I'd give it a shot. I mean, there was nothing
to lose except a lot of weight! Let me tell you, it was
the best decision I've ever made. Period. Six months later,
as I'm writing this message to you, I've gone from 355 pounds
to 210 pounds, and I haven't changed my exercise routine or diet
at all. Yes, I still eat pizza, and lots of it!
I was so happy with the results that I contacted the manufacturer
and got permission to resell it - at a BIG discount. I want
to help other people lose weight like I did, because it
does so much for your self-esteem, not to mention your health.
I give you my personal pledge that Power Diet Plus
absolutely WILL WORK FOR YOU. If it doesn't, you can return it
any time for a full refund.
If you are frustrated with trying other products, not having
any success, and just not getting the results you were promised,
then I recommend the only product that worked for me - POWER DIET
PLUS.
You're probably asking yourself, Ok, so how does this stuff
actually work?
Power Diet Plus contains Lipotropic fat burners which are
scientifically proven to increase metabolism and cause rapid
weight loss. No hocus pocus in these pills - just RESULTS, RESULTS,
RESULTS!!
Here is the bottom line ...
I can help you lose 10-15 pounds per week naturally, without
exercising and without having to eat rice cakes all day.
Just try it for one month - there's nothing to lose, and everything
to gain. You will lose weight fast - GUARANTEED. That is my
pledge to you.

Re: Water Damage
I have carefully dried out all the units. You may want to use some distilled water, or very clean water, if there is any visible residue/chalk/salt on the boards. What I normally do with WiFi equipment which got wet/soaked is to rinse them well with very clean water and then dry them in an oven with the door open or with a hair dryer. This works well. Note that water may collect in places like coils and under IC's and inside drives. If it was salt water then *immediately* rinse them with fresh water or demineralized water to stop corrosion (and keep them wet until you can do so). Though with salt water if the machine was on you are often too late. My experience is that also normal tap water has enough conductivty to ruin a machine when it is switched on before it is 100% dry everywhere. The high voltage power supply is in my experience the first thing to give. Dw To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

RE: Squirrel Mail on freebsd
hello, Anyone know of any bugs when running (or trying to run) squirrelmail off a freebsd box? Coz I have been trying to do this for a while now with appaling results timeouts, php related errors like maximum execution time exceeded, very slow response, and it seems that it cannot handle loads like lots of mail in the mailbox etc. If someone has used squirrelmail successfully on freebsd, I'd please like to know what configuration you are using, eg what imap server, what mail formats etc, Thanx in advance. I've been using Squirrelmail 1.2.9 on my system for about a week now. It was built from ports apart from a few teething troubles, parltly caused by my lack of knowledge I'm having a great time with it. My system comprises - Sendmail 8.12.6 (built from source) IMAP-UW 2002a (built from source) Apache13-modssl 1.3.27 (built from ports) PHP 4.2.3 (built from ports) Don't know too much about mail formats, I just created a 'mail' dir in my home directory altered IMAP-UW to use that before compiling (instructions on IMAP-UW site I think). For the slow response with many mails, you might try - cd /usr/local/squirrelmail ./configure Select option 4 'General Options' Set options 11 12 to 'true' Hope this helps a bit To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

RE: sshd and passwordauthentication
debug1: Sent encrypted session key. debug1: Installing crc compensation attack detector. debug1: Received encrypted confirmation. debug1: Doing challenge reponse authentication. Password: Response: These last two lines are part of the ChallengeResponseAuthentication method, which (I think) uses one-time passwords. You can skip through this by hitting Enter, when the server should accept your client key and log you in. To disable the ChallengeResponse prompts, you need to change ChallengeResponseAuthentication to no (or add it to the config file) then restart sshd. Disabling ChallengeResponseAuthentication solved the problem! Strange, isn't it? Thanks a lot for taking the time!!

I've tried this setting on the host: sendmail_enable=NO So, sendmail is only listening on the localhost! This is great! BUT! Setting the same setting in the jail makes sendmail listening on: 192.168.0.3 jail1 3) This makes sendmail accessible from the outside how do you prevent this? 4) Can a jail have it's personal loopback interface? 5) How do you make sendmail listening only to a specific ip address (when using ip alias), what flags do you have to use? 6) I'm sure other persons use this kind of configurations, how do you run sendmail (which flags) on these systems?

The problem may be related to the following bug: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135724 If you are experiencing this bug DNS caching will not have any effect because it appears to be a lookup problem within mozilla. However, disabling INET6 in the kernel does provide a nice workaround here. I find the same problem with Konqueror, which makes it seem less likely to be a Mozilla bug. I have a laptop running Linux (RedHat 7.3, with Mozilla build 2002040813), which does NOT experience this delay. This is also connected to the Barricade router. On the FreeBSD machine with the problem, the Mozilla build number shows as 00. I will try the kernel rebuild when I have a few minutes to tackle it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Or are you using a HUB in your installations and thus the wrong packets being sent? Isn't the purpose of the switch to avoid this behavior either automatically or via manual onfiguration of the switch ports?

I've tried this setting on the host: sendmail_enable=NO So, sendmail is only listening on the localhost! This is great! BUT! Setting the same setting in the jail makes sendmail listening on: 192.168.0.3 jail1 3) This makes sendmail accessible from the outside how do you prevent this? 4) Can a jail have it's personal loopback interface? 5) How do you make sendmail listening only to a specific ip address (when using ip alias), what flags do you have to use? 6) I'm sure other persons use this kind of configurations, how do you run sendmail (which flags) on these systems? You don't need to have a persistent sendmail process running on a machine in order to send e-mail from there. In principle, all that is required is to feed the properly formatted new e-mail into the stdin of /usr/sbin/sendmail, which will then forward that one message as required and immediately quit. However, in practice things are a bit more complicated. If the machine to which the message would have been delivered is off-line then the local sendmail will copy the message into the mail queue (/var/spool/mqueue) to be dealt with at a later time. Unless you run a sendmail process to check the queue occasionally, nothing further would ever happen to get that message delivered. It is perfectly possible to run a sendmail process that does nothing except wake up occasionally and deal with any messages that are sitting in the queue. Particularly it won't listen on port 25 for incoming messages. Before the split of sendmail into separate sm-msp and sm-mta processes, you could achieve these states of affairs quite simply. In the first case (no persistent sendmail process running at all, and no second try at resending messages that didn't succeed first time) all you needed was: sendmail_enable=NO in /etc/rc.conf For the second case (running a sendmail process that would do nothing but check the outgoing mail queue occasionally), you just needed to change the sendmail flags to drop '-bd' meaning don't listen for new connections on port 25: sendmail_enable=YES sendmail_flags=-q30m Now with the advent of the sm-msp / sm-mta split, things are a bit more complicated, and the number of sendmail_* variables in /etc/defaults/rc.conf has quadrupled as a consequence. The thing to realise is that the sm-msp (Mail Submission Protocol) process *never* needs to listen to a network socket, whereas the sm-mta (Mail Transport Agent) process *always* needs to listen to one or more network sockets. Sending e-mail by piping it into /usr/sbin/sendmail is implicitly talking to a sm-msp instance. However, the sm-msp process can't do final delivery of mail: it can only operate by feeding the message into a sm-mta process listening on a network interface. That is usually done to a sm-mta process on the same host listening on the loopback interface. This combination of flags in /etc/rc.conf will achieve the same effect as the second case above --- a send only sendmail setup which will check for and flush queued messages at regular intervals: sendmail_enable=NO sendmail_outbound_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=YES # This is the default setting sendmail_msp_queue_enable=YES # This is the default setting However, it doesn't matter what the 'sendmail_outbound_enable' variable is set to, as it's ignored if 'sendmail_submit_enable' is set to YES. This gives you: a sm-msp process that doesn't listen to any network sockets and does nothing except flush the /var/spool/clientmqueue mail queue every so often (passing any messages to the sm-mta process). a sm-mta process that flushes the /var/spool/mqueue mail queue at regular intervals and only listens to the loopback interface (hence can't be used as a relay by arbitrary hosts on the 'net). Now, I hear you say, that's all very well and good, but I've got a rack of servers here that never send any e-mail except for the two or three messages generated every day by the periodic scripts. Surely I don't need to run two sendmail processes all the time just for that? No, you don't. If you have a central e-mail smart host that does all of the real sendmail-fu you can drop the sm-mta process on your other machines
how to use ndc when running in bind in a sandbox
Hey,
(i'm new to freebsd +/- a few month)
I'm experimenting with freebsd and I have setup bind running in a sandbox
and followed the exact step mentionned here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/dns.html
Section 19.10.8 Running named in a Sandbox
1) I've created the same /etc/namedb/etc/named.conf like mentionned there
and also created the following two steps:
Symlink /var/run/ndc to /etc/namedb/var/run/ndc:
# ln -sf /etc/namedb/var/run/ndc /var/run/ndc
Note: This simply avoids having to specify the -c option to ndc(8) every
time you run it. Since the contents of /var/run are deleted on boot, if this
is something that you find useful you may wish to add this command to root's
crontab, making use of the @reboot option. See crontab(5) for more
information regarding this.
2) And also added the following lines to the named.conf:
controls {
unix /var/run/ndc perm 0600 owner 0 group 0;
};
Here is some info + the output of ndc! Every command is runned as root!
dns# ll
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 bind bind 4 Dec 30 11:39 named.pid
srw--- 1 root wheel 0 Dec 30 11:39 ndc
dns# pwd
/etc/namedb/var/run
dns# ndc reload
ndc: error: ctl_client: evConnect(fd 3): No such file or directory
ndc: error: cannot connect to command channel (/var/run/ndc)
What am I missing? What do I have to modify to be able to use ndc?
Thanks a lot

Re: once last try
I thought your goal was to fix your Postfix so that mx1.freebsd.org talks to it. You *can't* test this if you relay throu RR's MTA. 1) Comment out the relayhost parameter in $config_directory/main.cf and postfix reload. Done. As a test I sent an email to my yahoo account and saw the following: Received: from 204.210.211.15 (EHLO a11d015.neo.rr.com) (204.210.211.15) 2) Send a subscription request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Done.

Can FreeBSD for Soekris be built this way?
Hi, I've been reading, and playing with various ways of setting up a soekris net4521. Nothing I've seen (or more likely, understood) in the archives seems to show building FreeBSD for the soekris from different sources than the one used on the build system (e.g. the PC running FreeBSD already.) What I've looked at so far describes scripts that will copy files built originally from /usr/src used by the PC itself. Since smarter people than I haven't already done this, I'm curious if there is a technical reason why the following isn't possible: - On a stable system, cvsup a different release (e.g. 5.0 -current) into say, /soekris/usr/src. - build everything, setting (if needed?) DESTDIR to somewhere in /soekris and MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/soekris/usr/obj - use the results of the steps above to build the CF image or an image than can run via PXE (e.g. no CF at all.) Anything new needed for say, 5.0 would have to be under /soekris as the build system wouldn't have it. If I understand make release correctly, the above looks similar. I've never built a release before. I didn't want to start learning it just now if it doesn't apply to setting up the 4521.

Re: nfs performance
recently I discovered problems with my FreeBSD nfs server. I mount my /home/user from my linux box via automounter/nfs from my server. They are connected with a switch on a 100baseTX Ethernet. Now, whenever I copy large files from a local driver to my home dir or do anything else that involves moving some bigger amounts of data to my home dir the nfs server times out and doesnt respond anymore. Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated, I could never get NFS to work reliably on Linux. The server here is slow and needs to be upgraded to newer iron and runs OpenBSD, but Linux is the only client OS that exhibited these problems. I observed them always on writing to the server with large files, reads seemed to work fine, no matter what the file size. I spent considerable time fiddling with timeouts, cachesizes and so on, this was several months ago, but I remember thinking this had something to do with the attribute caching. I was advised by a Linux guru friend of mine that the kernel NFS on Linux had multiple problems, and he advised me to use the userland NFS. I didn't follow this advice, choosing to try FreeBSD instead. So far, it has worked with minimal problems. Once every couple of weeks, I start getting NFS Server not responding messages, but switching to TCP transport seems to have cured that, and provided better performance as well. I'm sure this isn't what you wanted to hear, but you might find it helpful... sdb -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

There are some serious problems with Linux NFS support. At the company where I work, we use Solaris NFS servers on Sun hardware, with a mix of many UNIX clients (including some BSD and Mac OS X). The biggest problems come from Linux clients. The interesting thing to note with Linux is that it hoses itself after a while. If the user reboots their Linux client, the problems go away for a few weeks. We've messed with options in automount and AMD, but no help. -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Browser delays
Dean Scott wrote: Mike, I don't believe this is a bug at all. I have experienced the same delays on selected sites. When I monitor the DNS request with Ethereal I find that the delay is caused by a series of DNS requests using an ipv6 format. Some sites don't handle these requests correctly. After a timeout on the series of requests a request is submitted in ipv4 format and the connection is made. The only thing to do is force FreeBSD to use only ipv4 addresses.

Using syslog to seperate out log messages
Hi, I have a small problem, well more of an annoyance than anything, but I was hoping that someone would be able to solve it for me. I have an Internet connection from Demon in the UK and I am using a D-Link DSL-300G+ ADSL modem to connect via. This device uses DHCP to request the network configuration from Demon and then offers it via DHCP to my firewall system. This all work fine and I am now in the process of securing the link with ipfw. Now it would appear the the D-Link box advertises the connection information to the firewall every 30 seconds or so with the following entries Dec 31 00:07:21 gate dhclient: New Network Number: 62.49.18.0 Dec 31 00:07:21 gate dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 62.49.18.255 Dec 31 00:07:50 gate dhclient: New Network Number: 62.49.18.0 Dec 31 00:07:50 gate dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 62.49.18.255 Dec 31 00:08:19 gate dhclient: New Network Number: 62.49.18.0 Dec 31 00:08:19 gate dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 62.49.18.255 as you can see I get quite a lot of this rubbish in the 'messages' file and I would like to move all the dhclient traffic into another log file that I can truncate/remove/ignore on a regular basis. When I try and direct the above entries with a line like !+dhclient *.* /var/log/dhclient.log or !dhclient *.* /var/log/dhclient.log or !-dhclient *.* /var/log/dhclient.log The above traffic still occurs but now I get the following additional messages every 30 seconds or so in the new file Dec 31 00:06:53 gate dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on fxp0 to 62.49.18.138 port 67 Dec 31 00:06:53 gate dhclient: DHCPACK from 62.49.18.138 Dec 31 00:06:53 gate dhclient: New Network Number: 62.49.18.0 Dec 31 00:06:53 gate dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 62.49.18.255 Dec 31 00:06:53 gate dhclient: bound to 62.49.18.137 -- renewal in 28 seconds.

Upgrading FreeBSD and XFree86
I am trying to get a GeForce 2 MX 400 to work properly on FreeBSD 4.7. A few requirements for the nvidia drivers are... (yes the nv driver works, but it does not support TV out on X) Upgrade to FreeBSD 4.7 STABLE or newer. Upgrade to XFree86 4.2.1_3 server and 4.2.1 binaries or newer. Here are a few simple questions... (1) How do I know if I successfully upgraded to 4.7-STABLE? After I upgraded(downloaded 4.7-STABLE sources using cvsup and chapter 21 instructions), I rebooted and it still said 4.7-RELEASE on startup. What's up with this? Is this really still 4.7 RELEASE?? Or could a mistake in mergemaster have kept this text? (2) How do I go about updating to the latest and greatest XFree86? I used cvsup to update the ports collection, but when i started up X 4.2.1.1 flashed up before it started. How do I check what version of XFree86 is installed and what is the correct way of updating it? Thanks. Also, I am able to boot into X with this driver but after a while it crashes the entire system.

I had about 40 shell account mail users. I seek to ditch them and create all mail accounts as virtual users of my domain. I don't know if to do that smmc.qld.edu.au has to be a vpopmail virtual domain but that is what I have done. Along wit the configs Matt's tute suggests that is pretty much it. ++ Here is what's happening +++ Qmailadmin can create virtaul users OK because the Maildirs are appearing in/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/smmc.qld.edu.au and the user accnt,passwd etc are getting into the vpopmail mysql tables ok. Squirrel works for the vusers ok I can send mail from the squirrel interface for any user no worries. The system is NOT able to deliver any mail at all! I can see it piling up in /var/qmail/queue/mess etc. For the few shell accounts e.g. my shell account (Keith) as you can see from the logs it believes the accnt exists but can deliver. For a virtaul user accounts it doesn't even recognise the account exists at all! I would really appreciate help as I am a little clueless. I have tried to hack but am not getting too far.

That's an excellent idea because the alcohol will absorb the water (I believe the correct term is that water is misable in alcohol), so when the alcohol evaporates it takes the water with it. I work for a company that operates large television trucks full of expensive gear that occasionally gets wet from leaks, road spray, etc. We have had good luck with filling the janitor's slop sink up with hot water and dousing the equipment in there to remove any salt. If the water you had was not salt, you probably don't need to do this, but I mentioned it just to show that most modern solid state gear with sealed chips is pretty resistant to water damage, as the gear would work after we dried it out. As was mentioned, power supplies are the worst, as the voltages can be much higher on certain parts of those boards. As to reliability, I'd guess if you watch it for a few days and it's OK, then go with it! Operating it will generate some nice heat to finish the drying out and a few days of this should make it or break it. -Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Sorry: new to FreeBSD (was an OpenBSD guy before this). I'm impressed with how fast FreeBSD puts new releases into its ports tree. Now that PHP 4.3 is out, I'm dying to use its new features, so I'm wondering if anyone knows a guesstimate on how long it should take for PHP 4.3 to be in the cvsup'd ports tree (/usr/ports/www/mod_php4) Or - can we just use the new tarball of the source, somehow with the existing Makefile + port?
