Re: TWM focus

2003-06-02 Thread Lee Harr
I know this is not the list for that since it is not FreeBSD specific,
but I tried the XFree86 list and did not get any answer... Since I'm
sure some of you must are using TWM, I give it a shot.
How can I make TWM to automatically focus a new window ?
Each time I launch an application, a square (empty window) appears under
my mouse pointer and I have to click to make the window appear, which
is pretty annoying.
If you have any idea...
Hmm.. let's try

man twm

Ok... here we go:

  When new windows are created, twm will  honor  any  size  and  
location
  information  requested  by  the user (usually through -geometry 
command
  line argument or resources for the  individual  applications).   
Other-
  wise,  an outline of the window's default size, its titlebar, and 
lines
  dividing the window into a 3x3 grid that track  the  pointer  are  
dis-
  played.   Clicking pointer Button1 will position the window at the 
cur-
  rent position and give it the default size.

etc.etc.etc.

Probably, you could set up those X11 configuration files that tell each
application how you want it to display. Alternatively, you could install
a more modern window manager and solve all of your problems.

vidcontrol on FreeBSD 5.1-RC?

 Hi folks,

 We just got an HP DeskJet 6122 for printing Unix docs.  It comes with
 a duplexing unit, which works when driven by the supplied Windows
 driver.

 However, I'd really rather have this thing connected to my FreeBSD
 workstation.

 I've tried CUPS and LPRng, and neither of the two support this
 printer's duplexing feature out of the box.

 Does anyone have any suggestions?

Probably needs one or two PJL commands tacked on to the front of the print job
and one or two more at the end to cancel the duplex. Have a look for the PJL
commands supported by your printer -- try an HP web site -- and write a print 
filter that can add in the commands either by the selection of a duplex queue 
or by passing options to say LPRng with lpr -Z

There is an option in the setup program to support KDE, but it's enabled by

There must be something wrong with your system, it works perfectly for me.

I think the menu entries are in ~/.kde/share/applnk, maybe it works if you 
copy the files (I don't know).

Problems with my terminal device files

2003-06-02 Thread Daniela
I have with the konsole in KDE and with SSH.
I logged out from KDE and logged back in, and suddenly, when I try to open a 
konsole, I get the following error:
Unable to open a suitable terminal device.

Fortunately, I have some shells open from my previously saved session. When I 
try to open a konsole from one of these, I see the following:
Can't open a pseudo teletype.

Next I tried:
%ssh 127.0.0.1
...
Warning: no access to tty (Bad file descriptor).
Thus no job control in this shell.

I guess there's something wrong with my device files, but I didn't change 
anything. Before logging out, the konsole worked (haven't tried SSH in the 
last few days).
What's going on here? Please help.

Now I see why to use portupgrade without -P option. It seems lot of
packages are linked against 5.x and I can obtain most of them only by
compiling sources. (Oh, no. :(

This explains also the packages-4-stable directories in freebsd.org (for
me). I guess they are linked for 4.x and I should use only them...

More work... Maybe I have a functioning 4.8 some day. :)

   What if I'd like the pkg_add -r to work exactly the same way as it does by

 pub/unix/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.8-release/. I'd like to tell 
 pkg_add -r foopackage and have it installed with all its dependencies from 
 the url mentioned above. As far as I understand the PACKAGESITE var specifies 
 the exact path to the package, thus if the /sysutils/foopackage.tgz depends 
 on /lang/foodep.tgz then the latter won't be retrieved and the pkg_adding 
 process will fail. Probably I need to use the PACKAGEROOT var? But in this 
 case the site I intend to use is supposed to have some specific default 
 FreeBSD structure, isn't it? In my case 
 /FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.8-release/ is a commonly used structure, but 
 it is prefixed by /pub/unix/. 
   Any ideas about how to solve the problem?

If the packages are on a box you control and you are using the 
portupgrade tool, then here is what I did for a FreeBSD 4-STABLE setup:

Set up anonymous ftp on the package building box with a directory 
structure like this:
/var/ftproot/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable

Set the home for the anonymous ftp user with vipw:
ftp:*:14:14:ftp:0:0:Mr. Anonymous FTP:/var/ftproot:/nonexistent

Create a sym link so when the packages are built they are available 
in /var/ftproot/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable.

ln -s /var/ftproot/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable /usr/ports/packages

Build the packages for the rest of the local machines.



On the machine seeking the packages I add this to the 
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf file:

ENV['PKG_PATH'] = '/All'
ENV['PACKAGEROOT'] = 'ftp://mypackagemachine.mynet.net'


So now on my local machine that I want to install foo-package 
I can:

portupgrade -NviPPr www/foo-package

And it will install a package from mypackagemachine.mynet.net 
If the package is not there it errors out with a descriptive message.

Stephen Hilton

 don't understand: you can not open konsoles (kde-xterm) or you can't
 loggin in a pseudo tty? Not the same: if teh problem is konsole, try
 xterm, the x window system terminal emulation. try ssh localhost from
 inside xterm, should work.

Thanks for your reply.
Xterm says that I don't have enough ptys. How do I make more?

Sorry, i can't figure out how is th problem in your system, but looks
like the forkpty or openpty syscall fails, so in some way your kernel
have reach some limits or there are a lot of processes running. 
Look at ps ax output and see for weird things, such as zombies or so.
There is no way that X can not get more ptys that i can think now, but a
couple of things you can do to track down the problem:
try another window manager and see if the problem presists.
ps ax

There are certainly a lot of processes running, I have a server.
I guess there are too many ssh logins, so I'm out of pty's.
Is it sufficient to edit the /etc/ttys file?
Would be bad if I had to reboot.

Spring cleaning - hardware give-away

2003-06-02 Thread J. Seth Henry
I have a bit of functional, but older equipment I hate to throw away, but
no longer have the space to keep. If anyone is interested, it's yours for
the price of (actual) shipping. Some of this stuff might be able to go on
eBay (and may, if no one claims any of it), but I'd rather see if any of
my fellow FreeBSD users/fans are interested first.

1) Old vinum disk array. Contains 11 Seagate ST32550WD (HVD differential)
SCSI hard disks, a 20MB/s HVD/LVD converter, HVD terminator, and beefy
power supply. There is a cut out for a 8 fan, but the fan has long since
gone out. However, the mounting hardware for the fan and filter remain.

I used this in college to store MP3's, and as far as I know, they are
still on the array.

Weighs approximately 35 pounds - I can probably be talked into breaking
this up if you don't want all of the disks, or are only interested in the
SCSI converter, etc.

2) 15 meter (yes, meters) HVD SCSI cable. It's long, folks. Originally I
picked this up on eBay so I could keep the above array in a different room
(for noise reasons).

Somewhere around 5-6 pounds

3) CIT 224 serial terminal. Supports VT52/100/200 terminal modes, and can
operate (reliably) up to 9600 baud. 19200 is supported, but has problems.
I currently use it as a head for my headless server, but am looking to
replace it with an X terminal that draws just as much juice, and has a
GUI :) The keyboard is a tad yellow, but otherwise fine. It's previous
life was spent monitoring a router, so there may be some faint burn-in.

Probably 10-15 pounds with keyboard.

4) Symbios UW HVD SCSI controller. I'm trying to ditch all my HVD SCSI
gear, and this is the last controller on hand. Great if you want the above
array, but don't have an HVD controller. It is supported by FreeBSD (works
great too)

5) Voodoo 2 3D graphics accelerator - with passthrough cable. Still holds
up for older games. I may even have the SLI cable somewhere, though I only
have the one card.

6) Digi Digiboard PC/4e with DB9 (male) breakout cable. This is the older
ISA version of the card. In excellent condition (was bought new), but
replaced with PCI card after a server upgrade. This board is well
supported by FreeBSD - it formed the communications portion of a home
automation controller for some time. No manuals or disks, though - long
since lost in moves.

7) Analog Devices SHARC ez-kit lite development kit. Comes with
development board, power supply, and CD-ROM with software. I thought I was
going to get into programming DSP's, and bought the kit - but later
decided home automation was my thing. Works great, has stereo input and
output. Great for home-made equalizers or effects boxes, though it is a
tad underpowered.

2-3 pounds (mostly the power supply)

8) Motorola MC68ICS05P microcontroller development kit. Comes with lots of
interesting stuff, including the dev board. This part is well supported by
free tools, including from Motorola. Perfect for a senior design project -
unfortunately, I've already got a MSEE, and I don't plan on using this
kit anymore.

9) Paralan NARROW HVD-SE SCSI converter. Mounted in a 5.25 chassis, it
allows you to attach normal narrow SCSI devices to a HVD SCSI controller
(or vice versa). It is presently configured to terminate, but this can be
changed with jumpers.

More stuff may be dredged up as I finish Spring cleaning, but that's it
for now.

First come, first served - and remember, all you have to come up with is
shipping. I'd just like to see this gear end up in the hands of someone
who could use it.

Later,
Seth Henry

nodes?  Thus:

  # cd /dev

Necessary to Reconfigure New XFree86 If No Changes?

2003-06-02 Thread Bob Perry
A while ago, I deinstalled XFree86-4.X and installed XFree86 3.X in 
error.  Not sure of the version number of the original 4.X package, but 
I'm currently running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE and I installed XFree86-4.X 
when I installed the operating system.  When I discovered the error, I 
deinstalled the 3.X version (before configuring it) and then installed 
the most recent XFree86-4.3.0,1.  I ran startx (without configuring 
anything) and everything seemed fine.

Today, I installed a new mouse (two button w/wheel) but the wheel wasn't 
functioning.  Someone had earlier requested help with a similar problem 
and they were advised to edit their /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.  I don't 
have a XF86Config-4 file, just a XF86Config file.  I've made more than 
my share of bone-head moves with FreeBSD and I'm wondering now if should 
have configured XFree86-4.3.0,1.  Is there an obvious way to tell?

Thanks in advance,
Bob Perry

 On the second server, SSH login isn't allowed any more. It won't route any

 How could we do this (if it is possible)? Are there other ways?

You need some kind of cooperation from the other server.  
It sounds like you're trying to get around security precautions of the
other server, but if that's not the case, you ought to work this out
with the administrator of the other server.

You can't create an IP tunnel over an FTP server; at least, not using
any FTP server software I know well...

Is there a package available for multiple format CD-R/RW recording?  I've used dd

I'm having problems with multiple track CD's (ie. mixed mode, or mode 2).  If anyone 
knows of something available (preferably with a GUI in X), please post information on 
where to find it.

On a second note to that, if anyone is willing to work on an application for 
FreeBSD/X, and has direct CD programming experience, please let me know.

Spring cleaning - hardware give-away (CONT)

2003-06-02 Thread J. Seth Henry
Ok, I've about finished going through the closets and boxes, and I have
the following:

9) Tray of 4 K6-2 266MHz processors.

10) K6-3+ (mobile) processor. Not sure if it works, though. The system it
was in was dead. I know the mainboard was dead, but I'm not sure if the
CPU bought it with the board. Hell, even if it doesn't work, the box is so
light it shouldn't cost much to ship. I will ship this with a HeatsinkFan
combo (I know the fan works ;)

11) set of 4 SIMM's (old school, 30-pin). Great for soundblasters with the
DRAM sockets on them. Not sure what size, probably 1MB each.

12) 4Mb Compaq RAM card for a 386 laptop. Compaq part# 121127-007, spares#
129947-001. Sad story about this module. I had an old 386 laptop I
originally used to write and debug ASM for the M68HC11 in college with. It
had this memory card, giving it a total of 6Mb of RAM (whopping plenty for
what I used it for). Then, thinking I might find an upgrade, I took the
card out - and promptly lost it. Later, I sold the laptop because it
didn't have enough ram to boot Linux or FreeBSD. Then, I graduated, and
found the card in a bunch of papers in the back of my desk. (sigh

Probably too damn old to be of interest, but it was in a 386LTE. Not sure
what other models might use it.

Again, first come, first served - and remember, all you have to come up
with is shipping. I'd just like to see this gear end up in the hands of
someone who could use it.

Later,

Re: Apache question - Method Not Allowed

2003-06-02 Thread doug
I thought I would post the answer as an FYI because I would not believe
it, but ...

It is possbile to produce this error by mal-formed html. A customer
reported that a form produced by netobjects would not work, producing the
method not allowed error. The html is hopelessly complex but the form
... /form tags contains the input fields and the submit button.
Apparently that is not enough. I recoded the form by hand (composer / kate
/ vi) to make it work with no changes to apache. 

The only references to this error I could find in questions, google, and
apache.org suggest Method Not Allowed is a configuration error. Not so.
I did not attempt to debug the NetObj form leaving that to the customer.

Re: Multicast Routing Table Modification

2003-06-02 Thread Olivier Nicole
 1. pick up the multicast packets before they are routed in the kernel

That would not be a clean way to do it, but if you want to
concentrate on your routing module, why not using a firewall to do the
pick-up/redirection of the packets?

I read that IPF has a way to write rules that will redirect the packet
to a user program.

Changes to hosts.allow do no affect to inetd daemons some times

2003-06-02 Thread Alexander
 Hello !

 Sometimes when I change my /etc/hosts.allow and kill and start again
inetd, there is no difference. It's like I haven't edited
/etc/hosts.allow. If I continue making changes and stop/start inetd there
are no affections to the inetd daemons, they allow or deny as
/etc/hosts.allow isn't modified since inetd was first started after the
system bootstrapped.
So what I do now is edit /etc/hosts.allow and then reboot. (Pretty ugly)
But I noticed that this happens only to the /etc/inetd.conf daemons.
Stand alone daemons like sshd haven't got such problem the changes occur
immediately.

My guess would be that some of the servers started with inetd are
still up-and running.

Remember that tcpwrapper will filter connection initiated through
inetd. If, say, your ftp server is runing and handling requests, it
will not be affected by your changes in hosts.allow. Your FTP server
does not know that tcpwrapper is ther actually.

So at same time you kill -HUp inetd, you should also kill all the
services started by inetd and that are running.

SSH does access tcpwrapper by itself, so it is not affected by this
behaviour.

Hi!

According to RFC 2865, mandatory attributes in RADIUS request is User-Name and 
Service-Type.

But in radlib.c exists these lines:

} else {
/* Make sure the user gave us a password */
if (h-pass_pos == 0  !h-chap_pass) {
generr(h, No User or Chap Password attributes given);
return -1;
}
if (h-pass_pos != 0  h-chap_pass) {
generr(h, Both User and Chap Password attributes given
return -1;
}
}

I need to send a request with no User-Password field, but I can not do it with 
libradius.

This shoud be fixed or I need to write my own lib?

 You need some kind of cooperation from the other server.
 It sounds like you're trying to get around security precautions of the

 with the administrator of the other server.

This is not possible, the admin won't let them out.
This is because of high loads on the network. He doesn't care if only a few 
people connect out.

 You can't create an IP tunnel over an FTP server; at least, not using
 any FTP server software I know well...

The clients run Linux. Isn't it possible to get around this by routing their 
reqests? They would only need to set the default gateway.

fwbuilder and aclocal

To answer a question I saw this morning, about building fwbuilder port

So first build /usr/ports/devel/automake then you can make fwbuilder.

 How can I make TWM to automatically focus a new window ?
 Each time I launch an application, a square (empty window) appears under
 my mouse pointer and I have to click to make the window appear, which
 is pretty annoying.
 If you have any idea...

Put RandomPlacement in your .twmrc and it will place new windows
itself.  It won't give them focus though, unless they're under the mouse
(since focus follows mouse).  I think there's some way to make focus
follow clicks instead of just the cursor, but who wants that?   :)

You could check your DNS Server with host e.g.:
host www.example.com 127.0.0.1

That would query the nameserver on 127.0.0.1 (localhost) for the name 
www.example.com.

If this reports the right IP:
Have you checked your /etc/hosts? Maybe you set your system to check 
that first and you got the name there?

Just some thoughts from my side ...

Re: Necessary to Reconfigure New XFree86 If No Changes?

 the most recent XFree86-4.3.0,1.  I ran startx (without configuring 
 anything) and everything seemed fine.

Yes --- the XF86Config file you have now would have been automatically
generated when you did the original system installation.  So long as
you haven't changed your hardware you won't need to regenerate that
file as you update to more recent versions of XFree86-4.x
 
 Today, I installed a new mouse (two button w/wheel) but the wheel wasn't 
 functioning.  Someone had earlier requested help with a similar problem 
 and they were advised to edit their /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.  I don't 
 have a XF86Config-4 file, just a XF86Config file.  I've made more than 
 my share of bone-head moves with FreeBSD and I'm wondering now if should 
 have configured XFree86-4.3.0,1.  Is there an obvious way to tell?

Take a look at the XF86Config(5) man page.  There are a large number
of variations on the config file name and a whole list of different
places in the filesystem that X will search for it's configuration
file.  In short, it doesn't matter if the file is called XF86Config-4
or just plain XF86Config -- add the suggested edits to whichever one
of those two you have.

If X is working at all and you have a screen resolution and colour
depth that suits you, then your XF86Config file needs no alteration.
Take a look at /var/log/XFree.0.log -- it's fairly long, but the
interesting point is the marker at the beginning of each line showing
where each setting comes from.  X will try and probe your hardware to
discover as much information about your system as it can, so in a
sense the less you have to explicitly tell it in the XF86Config file
the better.  Unfortunately one of the things that X can't detect
entirely reliably is the layout of buttons, wheels etc. on the mouse.

You don't need to restart inetd(8) when you edit /etc/hosts.allow.
TCP wrappers will immediately pick up any changes to that file and
apply them to all subsequent processes connecting to a wrapped
service.

You are probably seeing the effect of persistent connections: either
connections that are still ongoing or processes spawned by inetd
marked as 'wait', which take over the socket and can accept new
connections if they happen to be running already.  Since the TCP
wrappers function is provided by inetd, it can only be applied at the
point that incoming network traffic causes inetd to start up the
wrapped process.  Generally processes managed by inetd are fairly
short lived but there are occasional exceptions: nmbd from the samba
suite always seems to start up one time and then run continuously for
ever after.

Note that long running services with the TCP wrappers functionality
compiled in to them (sendmail, sshd etc) will pick up changes to
hosts.allow instantaneously. Of course, samba software is itself
generally linked against TCP wrappers in exactly this manner.

Matthew

Is portsdb -U broken again?

2003-06-02 Thread Roger Merritt
Is 'portsdb -U' broken again, or is my machine getting ready to give up the 
ghost? For the last month or so, it seems that any time I try to do 
'portsdb -U' my machine runs about forty minutes to an hour, reports a 
couple of errors (telling me  does not exist and the packing list is 
incomplete), and then reboots with Signal 12, Page Fault in Kernel Mode 
(page not found).

The same thing happens when I try to run 'make index', but I can run 
'portsdb -u' and 'pkgdb -F' ok.

Command confirmation request (6578896C)

2003-06-02 Thread L-Soft list server at FEAT (1.8e)
Your command:

  SUBSCRIBE WRIGHTSLAW Pull-Hammind Kunt 90210

requires confirmation. To  confirm the execution of  your command, simply
point your browser to the following URL:

  http://list.feat.org/scripts/wa.exe?OK=6578896CL=WRIGHTSLAW

Alternatively, if  you have no WWW  access, you can reply  to the present
message and type  ok (without the quotes) as the  text of your message.
Just the word ok - do not  retype the command. This procedure will work
with any mail  program that fully conforms to the  Internet standards for
electronic  mail. If  you receive  an error  message, try  sending a  new
message to  [EMAIL PROTECTED] (without using the  reply function -
this  is very  important) and  type  ok 6578896C  as the  text of  your
message.

Finally, your  command will be  cancelled automatically if  LISTSERV does
not receive your confirmation within 48h. After that time, you must start
over and resend the command to get a new confirmation code. If you change
your mind and decide that you do  NOT want to confirm the command, simply
discard the present message and let the request expire on its own.

Mon, 2 Jun 2003 01:41:03

Your subscription to the WRIGHTSLAW list (WrightsLaw Newsletter) has been
accepted.

Please save this message for future  reference, especially if this is the
first time you are subscribing to an electronic mailing list. If you ever
need to leave  the list, you will find the  necessary instructions below.
Perhaps  more importantly,  saving a  copy of  this message  (and of  all
future subscription notices  from other mailing lists) in  a special mail
folder will give you instant access to the list of mailing lists that you
are subscribed  to. This may  prove very useful the  next time you  go on
vacation and  need to leave  the lists temporarily so  as not to  fill up
your  mailbox while  you  are away!  You should  also  save the  welcome
messages from the  list owners that you will  occasionally receive after
subscribing to a new list.

To send  a message to  all the people  currently subscribed to  the list,
just send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  This is called sending mail
to the  list, because  you send  mail to a  single address  and LISTSERV
makes  copies  for all  the  people  who  have subscribed.  This  address
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is  also called  the list address.  You must
never try to send any command to that address, as it would be distributed
to all the people  who have subscribed. All commands must  be sent to the
LISTSERV  address,  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  It is  very  important  to
understand  the difference  between the  two, but  fortunately it  is not
complicated. The LISTSERV address is like  a FAX number that connects you
to  a machine,  whereas the  list  address is  like a  normal voice  line
connecting you to a person. If you make a mistake and dial the FAX number
when you wanted to talk to someone on the phone, you will quickly realize
that you  used the wrong  number and call again.  No harm will  have been
done. If on the other hand  you accidentally make your FAX call someone's
voice  line,  the  person  receiving the  call  will  be  inconvenienced,
especially if your FAX then re-dials  every 5 minutes. The fact that most
people will eventually connect the FAX machine to the voice line to allow
the FAX  to go through  and make  the calls stop  does not mean  that you
should continue to send FAXes to  the voice number. People would just get
mad at you.  It works pretty much  the same way with  mailing lists, with
the difference  that you are calling  hundreds or thousands of  people at
the same  time, and consequently  you can expect a  lot of people  to get
upset if you consistently send commands to the list address.

You may  leave the  list at  any time by  sending a  SIGNOFF WRIGHTSLAW
command to  [EMAIL PROTECTED] You  can also  tell LISTSERV  how you
want it to confirm  the receipt of messages you send to  the list. If you
do  not trust  the  system, send  a SET  WRIGHTSLAW  REPRO command  and
LISTSERV will send you  a copy of your own messages, so  that you can see
that the  message was  distributed and  did not get  damaged on  the way.
After a while  you may find that this is  getting annoying, especially if
your mail program does not tell you  that the message is from you when it
informs you that new mail has arrived from WRIGHTSLAW. If you send a SET
WRIGHTSLAW  ACK  NOREPRO  command,  LISTSERV   will  mail  you  a  short
acknowledgement  instead,  which  will  look different  in  your  mailbox
directory. With most mail programs you will know immediately that this is
an  acknowledgement  you  can  read  later. Finally,  you  can  turn  off
acknowledgements completely with SET WRIGHTSLAW NOACK NOREPRO.

Following  instructions from  the list  owner, your  subscription options
have been  set to  NOFILES NOREPRO  NOCONCEAL SUBJECTHDR  NOMAIL rather
than the usual LISTSERV defaults. For more information about subscription
options, send a QUERY WRIGHTSLAW command to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can get a
list  of the  available archive  files by  sending an  INDEX WRIGHTSLAW
command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can  then order these files with a
GET  WRIGHTSLAW LOG  command, or  using LISTSERV's  database search
facilities. Send an  INFO DATABASE command for more  information on the
latter.

This  list is  available  in digest  form.  If you  wish  to receive  the
digested  version of  the postings,  just issue  a SET  WRIGHTSLAW DIGEST
command.

Please note that  it is presently possible for other  people to determine
that  you are  signed up  to the  list through  the use  of the  REVIEW
command,  which  returns   the  e-mail  address  and  name   of  all  the
subscribers. If  you do not  want your name to  be visible, just  issue a
SET WRIGHTSLAW CONCEAL command.

More  information on  LISTSERV  commands  can be  found  in the  LISTSERV
reference  card, which  you can  retrieve  by sending  an INFO  REFCARD
command to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Changes to hosts.allow do no affect to inetd daemons some times

2003-06-02 Thread Alexander
So what you say is that if I had opened  identd socket for example then
updating /etc/hosts.allow and changing rules for ftpd won't take affect on
ftpd after new connection ? (assuming that noone is using my ftpd at all)

Thanks

   Hello !
 
   Sometimes when I change my /etc/hosts.allow and kill and start again
  inetd, there is no difference. It's like I haven't edited
  /etc/hosts.allow. If I continue making changes and stop/start inetd there
  are no affections to the inetd daemons, they allow or deny as
  /etc/hosts.allow isn't modified since inetd was first started after the
  system bootstrapped.
  So what I do now is edit /etc/hosts.allow and then reboot. (Pretty ugly)
  But I noticed that this happens only to the /etc/inetd.conf daemons.
  Stand alone daemons like sshd haven't got such problem the changes occur
  immediately.

 You don't need to restart inetd(8) when you edit /etc/hosts.allow.
 TCP wrappers will immediately pick up any changes to that file and
 apply them to all subsequent processes connecting to a wrapped
 service.

 You are probably seeing the effect of persistent connections: either
 connections that are still ongoing or processes spawned by inetd
 marked as 'wait', which take over the socket and can accept new
 connections if they happen to be running already.  Since the TCP
 wrappers function is provided by inetd, it can only be applied at the
 point that incoming network traffic causes inetd to start up the
 wrapped process.  Generally processes managed by inetd are fairly
 short lived but there are occasional exceptions: nmbd from the samba
 suite always seems to start up one time and then run continuously for
 ever after.

 Note that long running services with the TCP wrappers functionality
 compiled in to them (sendmail, sshd etc) will pick up changes to
 hosts.allow instantaneously. Of course, samba software is itself
 generally linked against TCP wrappers in exactly this manner.

   Cheers,

   Matthew

 So what you say is that if I had opened  identd socket for example then
 updating /etc/hosts.allow and changing rules for ftpd won't take affect on

Uh -- no.  The ftpd lines in /etc/inetd.conf look like this by default:

ftpstream  tcp nowait  root/usr/libexec/ftpd   ftpd -l
ftpstream  tcp6nowait  root/usr/libexec/ftpd   ftpd -l

Since the service is marked 'nowait', inetd will handle all incoming
connections to the ftp port and spawn a new copy of ftpd to service
each different session.  inetd will apply the changed tcp wrappers
filters to each new ftp connection as it occurs.  It won't
retrospectively modify any active ftp sessions.

Most things in /etc/inetd.conf are marked 'nowait', and of the things
that are marked 'wait' the vast majority are either 'internal' --
built into inetd -- or they are for RPC based services, in which case
the TCP wrappers support built into portmap(8) (aka rpcbind(8) on
FreeBSD 5.x) will be what's important.  In the default inetd.conf
file, there are only 7 exceptions:

% grep '\bwait' /etc/inetd.conf | grep -v 'internal\|rpc'
#comsat dgram   udp waittty:tty /usr/libexec/comsat comsat
#ntalk  dgram   udp waittty:tty /usr/libexec/ntalkd ntalkd
#tftp   dgram   udp waitroot/usr/libexec/tftpd  tftpd -s /tftpboot
#tftp   dgram   udp6waitroot/usr/libexec/tftpd  tftpd -s /tftpboot
#bootps dgram   udp waitroot/usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd
#auth   stream  tcp waitroot/usr/local/sbin/identd  identd -w -t120
#netbios-ns dgram udp   waitroot/usr/local/sbin/nmbdnmbd

So only if you have enabled one or more of those services and there
are instances of those processes running should you need to kill and
restart them to be sure that your modifications to /etc/hosts.allow
will be applied.  Nb. you don't need to restart inetd itself, just
kill the running instances of ntalkd, bootpd etc. inetd will cope with
starting new ones as required.

For more info about TCP wrappers, look at

ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/tcp_wrapper.ps.Z  -or-
ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/tcp_wrapper.txt.Z

   (Wietse Venema's presentation to the 3rd Unix Security Symposium)

-plus-


http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/tcp_wrappers/README?rev=1.1.1.1.2.1content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

but bear in mind that the FreeBSD inetd has the tcp_wrappers stuff
built in, so no need for the separate tcpd program.

Cheers,

Matthew

I installed tdb and tinycdb and it seems they installed it in /usr/local.
Not sure how to include their header files properly.

For example,

#include cdb.h won't work, unless I move /usr/local/include/cdb.h to
/usr/include/cdb.h

But not sure how the libraries and all the other files moved there.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrongly, wonder what it is.

Re: Changes to hosts.allow do no affect to inetd daemons some times

2003-06-02 Thread Alexander
Hello

I really know what tcp wrappers is. I just can't exactly get your point.
I'm telling you that I shut the ftpd totaly, I've left just one line at
/etc/hosts.allow: ALL : ALL : deny

and when I simply telnet-ed my.host.com 21 it opened a connection.

I have also auth, pop3, smtp (qmail actually)

I've shutted the qmail totaly. The pop3 wasn't in use so it leaves to
auth. According to you if the auth service is active while I change
/etc/hosts.allow, there might be a problem with auth only ... but what
about the others ?! Does this affect them too ? As I said, I tried even to
kill inetd. Nothing helped

Again, it's not happening just to a single wrapped daemon, it's happening
to all in /etc/inetd.conf

Thanks

  So what you say is that if I had opened  identd socket for example then
  updating /etc/hosts.allow and changing rules for ftpd won't take affect on
  ftpd after new connection ? (assuming that noone is using my ftpd at all)

 Uh -- no.  The ftpd lines in /etc/inetd.conf look like this by default:

 ftpstream  tcp nowait  root/usr/libexec/ftpd   ftpd -l
 ftpstream  tcp6nowait  root/usr/libexec/ftpd   ftpd -l

 Since the service is marked 'nowait', inetd will handle all incoming
 connections to the ftp port and spawn a new copy of ftpd to service
 each different session.  inetd will apply the changed tcp wrappers
 filters to each new ftp connection as it occurs.  It won't
 retrospectively modify any active ftp sessions.

 Most things in /etc/inetd.conf are marked 'nowait', and of the things
 that are marked 'wait' the vast majority are either 'internal' --
 built into inetd -- or they are for RPC based services, in which case
 the TCP wrappers support built into portmap(8) (aka rpcbind(8) on
 FreeBSD 5.x) will be what's important.  In the default inetd.conf
 file, there are only 7 exceptions:

 % grep '\bwait' /etc/inetd.conf | grep -v 'internal\|rpc'
 #comsat dgram   udp waittty:tty /usr/libexec/comsat comsat
 #ntalk  dgram   udp waittty:tty /usr/libexec/ntalkd ntalkd
 #tftp   dgram   udp waitroot/usr/libexec/tftpd  tftpd -s 
 /tftpboot
 #tftp   dgram   udp6waitroot/usr/libexec/tftpd  tftpd -s 
 /tftpboot
 #bootps dgram   udp waitroot/usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd
 #auth   stream  tcp waitroot/usr/local/sbin/identd  identd -w -t120
 #netbios-ns dgram udp   waitroot/usr/local/sbin/nmbdnmbd

 So only if you have enabled one or more of those services and there
 are instances of those processes running should you need to kill and
 restart them to be sure that your modifications to /etc/hosts.allow
 will be applied.  Nb. you don't need to restart inetd itself, just
 kill the running instances of ntalkd, bootpd etc. inetd will cope with
 starting new ones as required.

 For more info about TCP wrappers, look at

 ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/tcp_wrapper.ps.Z  -or-
 ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/tcp_wrapper.txt.Z

(Wietse Venema's presentation to the 3rd Unix Security Symposium)

 -plus-

 
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/tcp_wrappers/README?rev=1.1.1.1.2.1content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

 but bear in mind that the FreeBSD inetd has the tcp_wrappers stuff
 built in, so no need for the separate tcpd program.

   Cheers,

   Matthew

I use a script to set it when I login to a box with some silly config
like a prompt that sets it:
---
(ttyp1):{507}% cat ~/bin/xttitle
#!/bin/sh
printf \033]0;${*}\007

You should be able to work that sequence into wherever you want...

Ah.  If TCP wrappers is working correctly, you should see the
connection open and then close either almost immediately or as soon as
you try and pass any traffic.  A port scanner, like nmap(1) will show
the port as open.  You certainly shouldn't see any FTP banners or
other FTP traffic if you telnet to the port though, and you should see
a log message from TCP wrappers showing that it denied access.  If you
want to run an ftp service hidden completely from certain remote
sites, then ipfw(8) or ipf(8) is your friend.

What does 'tcpdmatch' say if you test it with various daemon names and
client addresses?

 I have also auth, pop3, smtp (qmail actually)
 
 I've shutted the qmail totaly. The pop3 wasn't in use so it leaves to
 auth. According to you if the auth service is active while I change
 /etc/hosts.allow, there might be a problem with auth only ... but what
 about the others ?! Does this affect them too ? As I said, I tried even to
 kill inetd. Nothing helped

If you kill inetd entirely, then all of the ports managed by inetd
should be closed, as 'netstat -a' should show.

There are 5 different example lines for the 'auth' service in
/etc/inetd.conf, 4 of which are internal inetd services using
'nowait'.  Just use one or more of those, rather than the external
identd.

'auth' is meant to be a security thing, but honestly it's pretty much
useless --- correctly paranoid system administrators will worry that
it reveals entirely too much about the internal setup of their systems
and either shut it off or configure it to lie by default.  Personally
I tend to set up my firewalls to just reset connections to port 113
(nb. not drop, as that will lead to annoying delays) and not run any
auth service at all:

% grep 113 /etc/happy-idiot-talk.ipfw 
add 1300 reset tcp from any to 81.2.69.216/29{218,219} 113 setup in recv de0
 Again, it's not happening just to a single wrapped daemon, it's happening
 to all in /etc/inetd.conf

What flags are you supplying when you start up inetd? The default is:

inetd_flags=-wW

which turns on the TCP wrappers for internal (W) and external (w)
services via inetd.  If you've modified the inetd_flags setting in
/etc/rc.conf, you should make sure you include those two letters.  If
you're still flummoxed, try running inetd with the '-d' (debug) flag
and test making some connections.

Cheers,

Matthew
