securing apache2 on freebsd
Hey, Does someone have a good link, pdf or doc to share about how to secure apache2 (or apache 1.3.X if there is currently no specific version 2 paper) on freebsd, file permissions etc disable modules! How secure is the default installation of apache? Can you tighten it up if you only use static html content, no cgi, no php etc..? I'm new to *NIX OSes! I only need to serve static html pages, so perhaps you could direkt me to other good doc! I have read this one: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/misc/security_tips.html ( so please don't redirect me there ;-) Thanks a lot!!!

I only want to mess with it once and be done with it. Why not look at picobsd (in ports). It's a script that you run on your FreeBSD box which produces a minimal system on small media (single floppy, bootable CD, CF disc etc), and is ideally suited for running routers, firewalls, etc. You customise it for your exact requirements. It boots up and runs from RAMdisc - no hard disc required. Problems? Reboot and it's clean again.. Obviously the less you have on any externally exposed machine, the less security risk it poses. Since you can use pretty much any crap hardware to run as a router/firewall, find an old P1 (or worse) somewhere, and hide the decent machine you would need for squid internally, and put that, cvsup, etc on that, where it's safer. To upgrade the router, you just re-run the script to create a new floppy, disc image, etc. [any technical questions on picobsd best addressed to freebsd-small mailing list].

promiscuous mode / strange ethernet packets duplication problem
Hi, We have several FreeBSD 4.7 boxes that put automatically all their interfaces into promiscuous mode during the boot process. What should I do to prevent this from happening ? Our boxes are connected on a D-Link switch. We have noticed a very weird behaviour from a few of these machines, I'll try yo explain it : Our switch has a standard MAC address aging value of 300 seconds. When one MAC address expires on the switch, the next packet targeted to this MAC address is broadcasted on all ports of the switch (because the switch doesn't remember anymore on what port the target MAC address is). That at least seems to be normal. But each time an ethernet packet broadcasted as descrbibed above arrives on the interfaces of our machines, these machines resend the packet to the network, decrementing the TTL value bye one. I mean, these machines are resending packets that are NOT targeted to them - neither the destination MAC address OR the destination IP address of the packet match the interface of the machine. This happends only on machines with interfaces in promiscuous mode AND with net.inet.ip.forwarding = 1. As several boxes have this problem, they resend packets to each others very quickly, generating a flood on the network. This flood only stop when all TTL of packets reach 0 or when the switch finally re-learn on what port is located the interface with the target MAC address. Does anybody have any clue about what this kind of problem may be ?

make world because of sendmail
Hy, (from a *NIX newbie) I've been playing a bit around with freebsd! This a thing that happened a few times to me: When I did a make world it fails because of the sendmail configuration files! This happened to me when: 1) I simply had sendmail_enable=YES in rc.conf or 2) when I modified a few sendmail config files, which is the problem/case right NOW!! The sample below is the output after having modified /etc/make.conf by changing these two lines: SENDMAIL_MC=/etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.mc SENDMAIL_SUBMIT_MC=/etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.submit.mc And creating customizing: /etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.cf and /etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.submit.cf This is why it make world I assume, but why? What do I have to do, so that make world succeeds? What to I have to modify? The exact command I used was: make world DESTDIR=/usr/local/jail/ And the output was: (cd /usr/src/etc/sendmail m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/src/etc/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/cf/ /usr/src/etc/sendmail/../../contrib/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 /etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.submit.mc) /etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.submit.cf chmod 444 /etc/mail/test.somewhere.com.submit.cf make: don't know how to make /etc/mail/foo.cf.

Lots of files in a directory
I'm considering setting up my server as a mirror site for the freedb.org lookup database. Unfortunately, I've seem to have run into a stumbling block. The server app requires over 250,000 files in a single directory. Each file is about 2k in size. It was a surprise to me (but probably not to those on this list) that the file system does not handle that many files in an expeditious manner (I'm being kind here). Is there anything I can do so that the file system works faster with such a large number of files? I'm looking for an increase in the area of 5 to 1. For example, the command rm -rf misc where misc is the directory containing the 250,000 files takes a couple of hours to run. If misc is my current working directory, and I type rm * I get the message that there are too many arguments being passed into rm. Some details: FreeBSD 4.5, dmesg below.

It's all guitar and drum machine through a 4-track, plugged into my sound card. The trick with the line-in (at least on my rig) was that the input volume on that channel was zero by default. I use the 4-track to do a little pre-mix before recording. I found that if I pull up an audio mixer (kmix, since I use KDE) I can bring the level up on line-in just fine. However, I have found that for certain tracks the mic input is better, although I have to bring the input gain down with kmix. Also, if you need to 'clean up' your recordings to get the 'eggs-frying' noise out of the mix (all my vinyl has it :), Audacity has great noise filters and it's in the ports collection.

Re: Lots of files in a directory
From: MikeM [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm considering setting up my server as a mirror site for the freedb.org lookup database. Unfortunately, I've seem to have run into a stumbling block.

If misc is my current working directory, and I type rm * I get the message that there are too many arguments being passed into rm. Try the dirhash option in your kernel (as suggested elsewhere). As for commands like rm, you have a few options (as I was recently taught). find(1) appears to handle large numbers of files, thus you can use it as a pipe for just about anything, i.e.: find /path/to/misc -name '*' -print0 | xargs -0 rm (although you don't really need the pipe for rm, but it's an example) I don't know how much of a problem this is for you, but it will work for mv, cp, grep ... just about anything. The quotes around * are important. Also, there is a sysctl (kern.argmax) that you can tweak to increase the length of command line arguments that can be processed, but I don't know how big you'd have to make it to handle 250,000 files!

If this would be of any use, how would I accomplish to dd /dev/zero to just that specific part of the disk, leaving the rest intact? Is that possible at all? Or are there any other ways to solve that problem, apart from buying a new disk or low-level-formating the whole thing? I would really appreciate any help or hints on that.

kern.maxfiles guidelines
Hello, We have a 4.4-RELEASE server in production running primarily MySQL which, under extremely heavy loads, puts a lot of /kernel: file: table is full errors into the syslog. Newsgroup posts all seem to prescribe 'sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=[big number]', but I haven't seen any guidelines for the value of 'big'. Assume I get excited and do 'sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=99'. What will happen as I open more and more files? Is there a formula for calculating good values of 'big' (eg, MB RAM * SQL_MAX_CONNECTIONS * Pi)? Or do I just keep increasing it until it's 'big enough'? Increasing the value (which I've done) indeed fixes the problem, but I've yet to see a rationale for the stated values people are using and there *must* be a reason for the defaults (anybody know what it is?).

Theories when I search the web for fallback to PIO mode include: - bad disks - something to do with thermal recalibration I don't believe the problems are bad disks, as the slave drops to PIO after the master does, and I can't get in back to UDMA, other than by soft reboot. Plus I see the problem on 6 of 8 disks. The problem is very repeatable. Can anyone offer any ideas, or suggest investigative steps ? I have a system in PIO mode right now.

Followup to fallback to PIO mode on dual processor AMD systems
By the way, I've determined our removable IDE disk trays are manufactured by SNT (http://www.snt.com.tw/metal.htm) and are part number SNT-129. It looks like these are the same ones startech sells. I've placed my hardware configuration here: http://www.freebsd.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/bin/view/Freebsd/DualAmd2000 Out of my 4 AMD systems, my test results are now: - 1 refuses to die - 1 panic'ed and died, after not being able to drop to PIO. Many fsck errors upon reboot. The console error was ata0: resetting devices .. ad0: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device - 2 dropped to PIO after about 15 hours of tests, and ran fine (but slowly) with PIO As for the the 2 that dropped to PIO and worked, I rebooted and manually ran atacontrol mode 0 UDMA33 UDMA33 and restarted the tests. No problems in 36 hours so far. My 4 Intel systems (which only have a UDMA33 controller on the motherboard) have also been running 48 hours no problems. The test I run is... dbench 1 sleep 300 dbench 2 sleep 300 dbench 3 ... up to about dbench 80 and then I kill and restart. With UDMA100, dbench 10 gave 43 MB/Sec With UDMA33, dbench 10 gives 37 MB/Sec I still plan to: - try UDMA100 with the drives directly attached (ie. no removable tray) - maybe try a non onboard IDE controller - shuffle the disks to see if the problems follow the disks or not At present, I don't suspect bad media because the error message is WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 which doesn't suggest a specific sector/track etc, and running with UDMA33 instead of UDMA100 makes the problem appear to vanish.

Re: Followup to 'fallback to PIO mode' on dual processor AMD systems
Bruce Campbell said: - try UDMA100 with the drives directly attached (ie. no removable tray) - maybe try a non onboard IDE controller yes I would reccomend a PCI ide controller, such as the Promise ATA/100, or Promise ATA/66. Also be sure your IDE cables are 18 and not 24 or 32 some people like to go crazy with overly long IDE cables. Sometimes for me longer then 18 and I get CRC errors(but nothing fatal). - shuffle the disks to see if the problems follow the disks or not At present, I don't suspect bad media because the error message is WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 which doesn't suggest a specific sector/track etc, and running with UDMA33 instead of UDMA100 makes the problem appear to vanish. I read your burn in procedures, a couple additions to throw in I'd reccomend: CPUBurn: http://users.ev1.net/~redelm/ I've only tried it on linux but the page lists *BSD too. This package also includes a memory tester, I usually run 1 CPUburn process per CPU and as many memory testers as I have RAM. If you try to load too many the newest process will segfault(since it can't allocate memory), harmless. Run this for at least 24 hours. memtest86: http://www.memtest86.com/ when you boot it, go to the options screen and turn on all tests, and run it through once or twice, with your system I'd expect 1 pass of all tests to be done in about 20 hours. most of my servers that run IDE have DMA/33 controllers, the few that have faster ones all use Promise ATA/100 cards or 3ware 6800 series raid cards.

It's all guitar and drum machine through a 4-track, plugged into my sound card. The trick with the line-in (at least on my rig) was that the input volume on that channel was zero by default. I use the 4-track to do a little pre-mix before recording. I found that if I pull up an audio mixer (kmix, since I use KDE) I can bring the level up on line-in just fine. However, I have found that for certain tracks the mic input is better, although I have to bring the input gain down with kmix. Also, if you need to 'clean up' your recordings to get the 'eggs-frying' noise out of the mix (all my vinyl has it :), Audacity has great noise filters and it's in the ports collection.

I have waded through the ports and come across a few possibilities, but each leaves something to be desired. I found ecasound, audacity, and snd. Audacity is just what I am looking for, but v1 doesn't support full duplex on *nix. Apparently v1.1 does, but it is not released as stable yet. ecasound looks powerful, but it would be nice if it had a graphical interface - well, there is one, but it's not very intuitive and the documentation is nonexistent, apparently. snd had an interesting interface, but I can't seem to tell if it was meant to do what I want, or at least I can't coax it to.

Is there any good multitrack recording software for FreeBSD. I recently made a little preamp so that I could plug my guitar into the sound card and am looking for multitrack recording software. I have waded through the ports and come across a few possibilities, but each leaves something to be desired. I found ecasound, audacity, and snd. Audacity is just what I am looking for, but v1 doesn't support full duplex on *nix. Apparently v1.1 does, but it is not released as stable yet. ecasound looks powerful, but it would be nice if it had a graphical interface - well, there is one, but it's not very intuitive and the documentation is nonexistent, apparently. snd had an interesting interface, but I can't seem to tell if it was meant to do what I want, or at least I can't coax it to. I just want to make multitrack guitar recordings i.e. record one track and record the next while listening to the first, etc, etcany ideas? Thanks, Nathan I use Audacity for all of my mixing. I do a lot of the individual track recording to my 4-track, and do the mixing afterwards in Audacity. The lack of full-duplex support in *nix is in the OSS drivers, not Audacity, and it really stinks. I've been thinking of getting a better card (like an RME Hammerfalle) which has full-duplex support with the ALSA drivers, but until my employment situation levels out, that's not gonna happen. In FreeBSD Audacity is the best IMHO. Another great one (much more full-featured) is Ardour, but it seems to be Linux-only and I have no idea what would be required to re-compile it for FreeBSD. # 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

Re: Multicast Routing
Usually multicast groups are joined on a multicast address. On Ethernet there is a mapping between multicast addresses and multicast ethernet addresses and if the ethernet card is well behaved, filters only those multicast ethernet addresses, and the IP stack filters the multicast IP address that are wanted. For multiple ethernet cards on one machine, a multicast routing program such as pimd (PIM) or mrouted (DVMRP) is usually used, and it forwards data when a remote client joins a multicast group (address). You sound like you want to static route the multicast traffic. I have seen default multicast routes, but have not done static multicast routes. I would not suggest you do port based routing, it will turn your multicast into broadcasts. --Mark Tinguely To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Unless you have an a priori method of determining the most file handles that should ever be needed simultaneously, empirical methods are the best choice available -- and will do fine. Increasing the value (which I've done) indeed fixes the problem, but I've yet to see a rationale for the stated values people are using and there *must* be a reason for the defaults (anybody know what it is?).

The fallback is clearly wrong because it turns isolated media errors

Re: promiscuous mode / strange ethernet packets duplication problem
Yann GROSSEL [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: On Thu, 02 Jan 2003 08:56:42 -0500 Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There's your answer. Any machine with forwarding turned on will resend a packet that isn't destin for it. That's by design. It doesn't make much sense to me that you'd have a lot of machines with forwarding turned on. Usually only gateways use this. Honestly, I can't thing of any reason to have forwarding on if your machine only has 1 IP address. As several boxes have this problem, they resend packets to each others very quickly, generating a flood on the network. This flood only stop when all TTL of packets reach 0 or when the switch finally re-learn on what port is located the interface with the target MAC address. Does anybody have any clue about what this kind of problem may be ? Turn forwarding of on all but your gateways. Mhhh. Gateways are designed to forward packets from network to network. If a machine wants to send a packet to a remote network, it will send that packet to the gateway by putting the gateway interface MAC address in the destination field of the ethernet packet. The gateway will know that it must forward the packet because of that. And it will know where to forward the packet by looking to the destination IP address field of the packet. Yep. Here the machines are forwarding ethernet packets with a destination MAC address field set to ANOTHER machine of our network. In other words, these packets are NOT targetted to the gateways, neither from their MAC address destination field nor from their IP address destination field. The machines doing the forwarding don't know that. So why are these packets forwarded ? That's what a router does; when it receives a packet that isn't for itself, it forwards the packet towards the destination. Your FreeBSD machines, by running in promiscuous mode, are receiving *all* the packets on their bit of the wire, and are correct to do so. [A host on that net could send *all* of its packets to a gateway, even the ones to the local net, and expect them to get to the right places. This one-armed router configuration is legitimate and occasionally useful.] Here's what's probably happening: the MAC address mapping times out on the network switch before it times out on the routing hosts (gateways). Then the switch sends those packets to the routing hosts. The routing hosts normally would be screening out those packets on the NIC, because the destination MAC address doesn't belong to the host, but because it's in promiscuous mode, it sends the packet to the IP stack anyway. The IP stack knows how to reach the destination IP address from the packet, and does so. The correct solution is one of two things: make sure that the switch doesn't time out its MAC address mappings any faster than the hosts do, or make sure that the the forwarding machines don't get into promiscuous mode unless they're supposed to. Going further out on a limb, I'll guess that the switch is not refreshing its mappings from passing traffic like an ARP host would, and a smarter switch wouldn't have this problem. Good luck.

So, depending on the rules of your route, it may or may not replace an other given routes. The order of the routes matters, the order of transports does not. This is made clear in the config file itself. The docs at Exims site are rather outstanding, in my opinion. Good luck!

Re: Followup to fallback to PIO mode on dual processor AMD systems
Quoting Bruce Evans [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
On Thu, 2 Jan 2003, Bruce Campbell wrote:
At present, I don't suspect bad media because the error message is
WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 which doesn't suggest a specific
sector/track etc, and running with UDMA33 instead of UDMA100 makes the

appear to vanish.
The fallback is clearly wrong because it turns isolated media errors
into pessimized i/o for the whole disk at best, system hangs during
resets next best, and system crashes at worst. I keep a disk with bad
media on line for testing some of this, and zap the fallback using the
following patch (hope this is complete; it was edited from a larger
patch).
Thanks for the patch. Under moderate load, I am seeing occasional
instances of:
/kernel: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
/kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. done
and everything keeps on working normally via DMA. ie it does not drop to PIO.
The more manacing case is this:
Dec 30 23:26:59 /kernel: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
Dec 30 23:26:59 /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. done
Dec 30 23:26:59 /kernel: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
Dec 30 23:27:00 /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. done
Dec 30 23:27:00 /kernel: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
Dec 30 23:27:00 /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. done
Dec 30 23:27:00 /kernel: ad0: WRITE command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
Dec 30 23:27:00 /kernel: ad0: timeout waiting for cmd=ef s=d0 e=00
Dec 30 23:27:00 /kernel: ad0: trying fallback to PIO mode
Dec 30 23:27:00 /kernel: ata0: resetting devices .. done
So it appears it would no longer with DMA, but it would work with PIO.
If it is manually set back to UDMA with the atacontrol command, it times
out again, and falls back to PIO.
However, a soft reboot, and all is well again.

But the pkg-plist for gettext doesn't mention intl.4, the closest is

vsftpd and samba problem
I am having some problems with vsftpd and I was wondering if someone could offer me some insight. I have an ftp server (using vsftpd) that mounts FAT32 shares from another machine via Samba. I can mount the shares with no problem and access the files if I log onto the machine with SSH. However, when I logon to the FTP server using an FTP client I am not able to transfer files with vsftpd. I get an error that states 426: failure writing network stream. I am able to change into the directory that I mount on and get a file listing. Another interesting thing is that when I use another FTP server (such as ProFTPd) everything works fine; I am able to transfer files from the samba shares. I have not been able to find much documentation involving a problem similar to mine. Any ideas/insight would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Sendmail waiting?
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Brian Astill Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 4:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sendmail waiting? My silly system ... Using 4.6 RELEASE, 1.1G Athlon ABit KT7A VIA chipset - running FVCool permanently in idle mode to maintain CPU cool temperature. The really silly bit is ... I don't switch off every day, but I have noticed that, on restart, loading sometimes waits for ever at installing standard daemons sendmail. Last night the wait was 2 full minutes, and the effect was for me not to be able to get X and worse - getty repeating too fast - sleeping for 30 seconds During that sleep, I could work from the console normally, but then the screen blanked and fluttered for several seconds before the sleeping phase was again reimposed. This morning - not expecting too much - I switched on and this time loading swept past sendmail without delay and everything is working normally again. I do not propose to switch off for some time. :-) Q1. Can anyone suggest any explanation for the sendmail-wait problem and subsequent horrors? Q2. I am cvsupping and ready to update to the latest stable. Is this sound, and is it in any way likely to resolve my problem with v 4.6 RELEASE? My experience is that if your network goes down or DNS cannot easily resolve your name, sendmail will pause for a bit. I believe installing a caching(sp) name server on the box will probably help out. I cannot remember the command to install it, so check the archives, but it is really simple. Hope this helps. Thanks in advance. -- Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
