RE: firewall
Yes, you can use just and normal file with the ipfw rules in it. E.g: /etc/myipfw.rules a a a f a t a via lo0 a deny a f a t 127.0.0.1/8 a deny a f 127.0.0.1/8 t a And in your /etc/rc.conf file you have: firewall_type=/etc/myipfw.rules You can add and delete rules on the command line untill you'r happy. Then change your rules by editing the file, and when your done and happy with your new rules you can reload them into the firewall over a remote link with the following command: # ipfw -f flush; ipfw /etc/myipfw.rules The '' starts it as a background process to prevent it from being killed when your shell closes because of the connection being terminated by the 'ipfw -f flush' command. The firewall will reload the new rules and you can connect to the box again, having the same effect as rebooting the box and loading the new firewall rules from the config file.

You're doing nothing wrong, it's in the Makefile of the tripwire port:
.if ${OSVERSION} = 50

So if you want to use tripwire in 5.1 it has to be fixed to compile.

That's a rather vague question, which makes it pretty hard to give a sensible answer, I'm afraid. Ease is a very subjective thing. There's certainly many more than one way of achieving such tasks, many of which seem about equally easy to me. Pretty much every Unix utility ever designed to copy the contents of a filesystem onto a tape drive has the capability to access a remote tape. Even more: any utility capable of copying files from one machine to another could be considered usable for backup purposes. Generally copying the files from machine to machine is only half the problem. Setting up a backup schedule, making the backups run automatically and unattended, testing that your backups are actually fit for purpose (it's amazing how many people have only found out that their tape drive had malfunctioned and wasn't writing anything on the tapes at the point of trying to recover a crashed system...) etc. etc. All need to be considered.

Such things as: how much data you have to backup; bandwidth limitations between your server and where you're backing it up to; what sort of device you're writing to; security requirements -- can the data be transmitted across the internet in plaintext, or does it have to be encrypted? Can it be stored on the backup medium unencrypted? How can you authenticate yourself to the backup server?

Just to give you an example. a) If I want to have the FreeBSD php4-port is able to work with thttpd, I have to update the lang/php4/Makefile and lang/php4/bsd.php.mk to recognize a new flag for the port and choosing it's dependencies right. This patch I will send to the FreeBSD Gnats database and to the ports maintainer using send-pr(1). b) If I want php - just as example - be able to use libpopt (option parsing library, better than getopt()), I have to patch php and please the php developers to include the patch into the next release. Is it clear so far? If not, feel free to ask again :-) 2. Can I have a port directory, like /usr/ports/personnal (or in another place), of my own that I can add to the regular ports tree ? Yes, on you own machine you can have each directory you want. If you want to change something in the ports structure, you should ask the PortManagers at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and substantiate your requirement. Thanks in advance for your answer.

Re: Backup over the internet.
As I understand it dump will not backup everything reading the Freebsd book. I have a 1.5Mbps connection. Files seems to be about 3.1 Gigs each on 4 different machines . I have a freebsd box with extra 12 Gigs of space that I can save to. I would like to save to a cd writer on the same machine it is a Liton CDRW but that other task getting it running to copy. I think if I had a choice I would have my installation on a cd for the ports and freebsd I need. Then save the data only.

That's a rather vague question, which makes it pretty hard to give a sensible answer, I'm afraid. Ease is a very subjective thing. There's certainly many more than one way of achieving such tasks, many of which seem about equally easy to me. Pretty much every Unix utility ever designed to copy the contents of a filesystem onto a tape drive has the capability to access a remote tape. Even more: any utility capable of copying files from one machine to another could be considered usable for backup purposes. Generally copying the files from machine to machine is only half the problem. Setting up a backup schedule, making the backups run automatically and unattended, testing that your backups are actually fit for purpose (it's amazing how many people have only found out that their tape drive had malfunctioned and wasn't writing anything on the tapes at the point of trying to recover a crashed system...) etc. etc. All need to be considered. I can certainly point you at some manual pages for some commonly used software. See: dump(8) tar(1) scp(1) rsync(1) [ports: net/rsync, http://rsync.samba.org/] amanda [ports: misc/amanda-server, misc/amanda-client http://sourceforge.net/projects/amanda/] See also the SSH FAQ on how to set up ssh(1) (which all of dump(1), scp(1) and rsync(1) run on top of) to do unattended logins: http://www.snailbook.com/faq/no-passphrase.auto.html Perhaps you would like to restate your question with a lot more detail about exactly what you want to do and what your constraints are. Such things as: how much data you have to backup; bandwidth limitations between your server and where you're backing it up to; what sort of device you're writing to; security requirements -- can the data be transmitted across the internet in plaintext, or does it have to be encrypted? Can it be stored on the backup medium unencrypted? How can you authenticate yourself to the backup server?

Try specifying the port name with its origin as well, something like

You shouldn't need to worry about port version levels, etc, as portinstall

Something piped through ssh using DSA keys. e.g. on the machine which you want backed up (client) to the machine where the backup file lives, client machine: su root # if you have not yet created your ssh keys, do so now ssh-keygen -d on the server machine, pw useradd clientmachineid -m su clientmachineid cd ~clientmachineid ssh-keygen -d cd .ssh # from the client machine, put the root's id_dsa.pub and ONLY the .pub file here under the name authorized_keys2 #on the client machine, ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] #if all goes well, you will login without a password.

I've been using a program called rdiff-backup ( http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/ ), based on librsync. This package creates a mirror of your server (or any portion thereof) on a remote server, and keeps track of changes. It only sends changes (ie diff) across the wire, including binaries, so after the initial copy it's pretty bandwidth efficient. It's not in ports ( or wasn't recently ) and takes a little extra work to build it, but IMHO it's well worth the effort.

hi
do you try to read mailing list ?

D. Penev [EMAIL PROTECTED], 20 Aug 2002:
this kernel message means that you have reached the limit of sessions
per ipfw rule that was set with limit option.
-
-
and now my part :)
for example:
ipfw add 4300 allow all from any to me setup limit src-addr 4
-
part of man:
If the ruleset includes one or more rules with the keep-state or limit
option, then ipfw assumes a stateful behaviour, i.e. upon a match
it will create dynamic rules matching the exact parameters (addresses and
ports) of the matching packet.
These dynamic rules, which have a limited lifetime, are checked at
the first occurrence of a check-state, keep-state or limit rule, and
are typically used to open the firewall on-demand to legitimate traffic
only.
See the STATEFUL FIREWALL and EXAMPLES Sections below for more
information on the stateful behaviour of ipfw.
-
again part of man:
Dynamic rules expire after some time, which depends on the status
of the flow and the setting of some sysctl variables. See Section SYSCTL
VARIABLES for more details. For TCP sessions, dynamic rules can be
instructed to periodically send keepalive packets to refresh the
state of the rule when it is about to expire.
...
A first and efficient way to limit access (not using dynamic rules)
is the use of the following rules:
ipfw add allow tcp from any to any established
ipfw add allow tcp from net1 portlist1 to net2 portlist2 setup
ipfw add allow tcp from net3 portlist3 to net3 portlist3 setup
...
ipfw add deny tcp from any to any
-
If you use dynamic rules don't forget use:
ipfw add check-state

This would result in no monitor use, but that would be better than a panic. --Mark. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Pkg_info issue
Greets! We had a server that was in bad enough shape after being in production for a few years that sometimes the simple tests done during a ./configure would core-dump instead of returning. To cure the problem, we did a mass pkg_delete with the intent of reinstalling everything. This worked great and the machine is very healthy now. We do however have 1 issue that sprung up. My pkg_info is screwy.

RE: dialup + virtual users
Your question is very vague. The solution for am ISP with 100's of dialin users is very different from the solution for a home server that you want to allow some friends to dialin to share your internet connection. Which one are you? When it comes to restricting what functions the dialin user can use, you would use a firewall to control that. For a newbe I would recommend the FBSD built in IPFILTER firewall over the IPFW as it's much simpler to setup and use. And most important the IPFILTER documentation is much better than IPFW. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of VirVit Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 2:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: dialup + virtual users Hello!

RE: Modem replies to commands mostly not seen.
I have a USR sportster 14.4 external serial modem which works fine under FBSD 4.8. Dip switches 3-7-8 are set to 'on' which is down, all others are set to off which is up. 3 = display result codes 7 = load factory defaults 8 = smart mode Modem has to be powered on before you boot FBSD box modem is cabled to. Modem is found and listed in /var/run/dmesg.boot file. During PC post process a summary PC hardware config screen shows the irq's assigned to hardware. Check this summary screen to verify the irq assigned to modem is not shared with other hardware. If it is, go into pc bios to change, be sure bios plug-n-play option is disabled, and serial ports are enabled. I use TIP command to issue Hayes AT commands. If you get an OK response to AT command, then you are talking to modem just fine and it's working. If you still have problems, post dmesg.boot file and use the script command to log your TIP command test output to a file and post that also. Most PC's have 2 serial ports, try cabling modem to different port and test again. Can you run mswindows on the pc to verify serial port and modem work. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gary W.

RE: configuring dial-up for extreme novices (i.e. Mom).
Yes you can do what you have described. User ppp has a mode that will not dial out until network services are needed by user. Give your Mom a script to run which will start fetchmail, user ppp will automatically start and call your ISP and connect, fetchmail will complete. Then have commands in script to kill fetchmail and user ppp, and start Mutt to read mail from postfix. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dan Langille Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 6:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: configuring dial-up for extreme novices (i.e. Mom).

getting arp cache entry reliably
Hi
i have the following task to do:
i need to get the mac adress of my first upstream router (i.e my default
router). there are a number of constraints, however:
1) detection has to be as fast as possible, but 100% reliable
2) i can only use tools from /bin and /sbin, nothing from under /usr.
3) it has to be done from a shell script without any external c hacks.
4) all information i have at this point is the fixed IP adress of the
router.
right know i am doing this:
i configure my interface with an arbitrary ip (any IP from within the
RFC 1918 adress space, notably NOT within the same subnet as the router).
i cannot just use an ip within the same subnet as the router is because i
do not want to disturb the network.
next i set my default route to my interface
then i ping the router
after that, i have an entry in my arp cache which i read with the route
command and parse with the sh builtin expr.
this looks at follows (my router is 192.168.1.1):
ifconfig fxp0 10.11.12.13
ifconfig fxp0 up
route add default -interface fxp0
ping -c 5 -t 5 -m 1 -n -q 192.168.1.1
route=` route -n -v get 192.168.1.1 `
macaddr=`expr //${route} : .* 192.168.1.1 \(.*\) fxp0.*10.11.12.13$ `
my problem with the above sequence is: sometimes i get an arp cache entry,
sometimes i don't. i've tried varying the -c and -t flags of ping with
little success.
as there a better way of doing this, or are some other flags to ping more
promising?
thanks in advance, t.

Disk Failure?
Whenever I try to dump /var on one of our machines, I receive the following errors from dump: DUMP: 30.11% done, finished in 1:56 DUMP: read error from /dev/da1s1e: Invalid argument: [block -1245853416]: count=16384 DUMP: read error from /dev/da1s1e: Invalid argument: [sector -1245853416]: count=512 DUMP: read error from /dev/da1s1e: Invalid argument: [sector -1245853415]: count=512 DUMP: read error from /dev/da1s1e: Invalid argument: [sector -1245853414]: count=512 It prints the above error about 500 times, and then completes the dump (but I'm sure the data is not all there, due to the above error). My question is, is this an indicator of a failing disk, or just a disk that needs to be fsck'd? This is a very busy machine, and I'm also curious if this may be caused by the fact that logs and email are being written to the partition while the dump is going on, and if that would cause the above error.

Re: sed(1) regular expression gurus - SOLUTION
First off, thanks to all of you who scratched their heads over this
puzzle. All had the right idea to some extent or another.
Based in part on the replies, and my own work, here's the final result:
FOLDER=$HOME/Mail/spam
NAME_RE=[[:alnum:]_.-]+
ADDY_RE=([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}
cat $FOLDER \
|grep -A 5 ^Received: \
|egrep ^(Received:| ) \
|sed -E \
-e s/(^Received:|by|from)[[:space:]]+//g \
-e s/\([HELO]{4}[[:space:]]+($NAME_RE)\)/\1/ \
-e s/\(($NAME_RE)[[:space:]]+\[($ADDY_RE)\]\)/\1 \2/g \
-e s/(\(\[?|\[)($ADDY_RE)(\]|\]?\))/\2/g \
-e s/[[:space:]]*(\(|id|via|with|E?SMTP|;).*// \
-e s/(\(envelope-|for|Sun|Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat).*// \
-e s/[][(){}]//g \
Note that the whitespace in the second pipe is one tab character.
The first two pipes isolate the multi-line headers. The first sed
command strips keywords and any following whitespace. The second
sed command returns the name in a parenthetical HELO or EHLO. The
third sed command returns the name and address in a (... [...]).
The fourth sed command - the one I inquired about - returns the
address in any of (...), ([...]), or [...]. The fifth sed
command strips possible whitespace, keywords or an opening
parenthesis (now that it's of no consequence), and anything after
them. The sixth sed command strips more keywords and anything
after them (it might be merged into the fifth, what it strips is
often on another line). Finally, the last sed command strips any
errant delimiters; strictly speaking, it's redundant, but when I
ran a spam file (~12.3Mb) through this, some delimiters did leak
through.
Just thought those that replied to my plea might like to see this,
and perhaps somebody else will find it useful. No, I'm not telling
what it's for. ;-,

You should ask about ports on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
Anyway, the directory tree that ports get installed under is known as the
$PREFIX, and defaults to /usr/local. A port isn't allowed to change the install
prefix (because the user might change it), Someone using this port of yours
could do a make PREFIX=/home/user install to place it under their homedir, if
that's something you want to look into.

A lot to do with the recent import of gcc-3.3.1 as the system compiler in 5-CURRENT, I think. Seems that gcc just gets stricter and stricter on the C++ syntax as time goes by. Still, it shouldn't be as much effort to fix as during that great long ports freeze before 5.0-RELEASE came out. The make index runs with your latest patch but a make index on a 5-current systems shows some of the problems that exist with /usr/ports/print and the epson printers. On a 4-stable system, you don't see the message but you can view an INDEX and the entry for pips2200 and the entries for a number of nearby ports looks strange. Yes --- a different patch was committed to the ports tree about 7 hours ago now. However you cut it, that problem is fixed. On a 5-current system, there are many other messages for other ports. These just stand out above the rest. 4.8-STABLE does a 'make index' pretty smoothly. No error messages at all, usually.

Subnet A 192.168.0.0/24 Subnet B 192.168.1.0/24 Subnet C 192.168.2.0/30 Subnet D 192.168.2.4/30 Router 1 fxp0 192.168.0.1/24 fxp1 192.168.2.1/30 fxp2 192.168.2.5/30 Router 2 fxp0 192.168.1.1/24 fxp1 192.168.2.2/30 fxp2 192.168.2.6/30 router1 route add 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.2 router1 route add 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.6 router2 route add 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.2.1 router2 route add 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.2.5 (may wrap) SubnetA---fxp0---router1fxp1 Subnet C fxp1router2---fxp0---SubnetB SubnetA---fxp0---router1fxp2 Subnet D fxp2router2---fxp0---SubnetB I intend to run Zebra and OSPF on routers 1 and 2. Subnets A and B are 100 Mbit/s networks. Subnets C and D are 10 Mbit/s networks, I would like to have a ~20 Mbit/s pipe when both lines are up, but if one fails, it dumbs down to ten. I am familiar with OSPF enough to (hopefully :) make it through the routing and failover, but I don't feel that Zebra will give me a 20 Mbit pipe. I am thinking about this in a routing frame of mind... Perhaps if there is a way to just pair up the adapters at the ethernet level it would be a simpler solution, but it would have to be able to fail over without blinking... I do not of such a capacity in FreeBSD, but if there is one, I would love to hear about it. Does this help to clarify the situation?

I've got a problem with KDE, maybe you can help me. I just started KDE as root (yes, I know that's not good). KDE hangs and I can't do anything on the console, but I can log in over SSH, where I tried to kill KDE. One of the processes is in disk wait state and trying to exit. Is there a way to kill the process? I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

I can't reboot. This is a server. Why are you even running X on a server? I know this doesn't help your problem, but it's generally not a good idea to run X on servers.

RE: KDE process is unkillable
Yes, I know, but this server is also my workstation (it's just a home server). ok, well like the other people said... did you try kill -9 as root on the process in question? If you did, and it still won't die, most likely you'll have to reboot.
