Need Vinum help
I think I have the process of creating a Vinum volume but I'm missing something. My config file (config1) contains: drive a device /dev/ad0 volume root plex org concat sd length 36g drive a When I run /vinum create config1/ I get the error Can't initialize device a: Operation not supported by device I've huffed, and I've puffed, and I've blown over many a page of docs and can't seem to figure out what gives. The FStype in /etc/fstab for / is ufs--as I understand it, Vinum needs an FStype of vinum. I haven't been able to find any docs describing how to make this occur. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

IPFW ICMP
Howdy folks, I've been getting bombarded with ICMP (Cyberkit 2.2 attack) stuff and created a rule in ipfw to firewall it. The rule is working, I am getting measured stats but the problem is snort is seeing them and reporting them. I thought that by firewalling ICMP snort would stop noticing them. If I'm wrong in my asumption I would certainly like to hear it. Here is the fierwall rule I applied. deny log icmp from any to me via ed0 There are some TCP and IP rules above that but I don't see that causing anything to skip over the ICMP rule. And snort is seeing them as I did a quick search through ACID.

Re: IPFW ICMP
Hello, Someone correct me if I am wrong, but, snort as with other traffic shapers and dumpers take actual traffic from the network card prior to the firewall/kernel getting it. The rule is in place and as long as you see numbers in the first two columns in the following command: ipfw -a l [INSERT_YOUR_FW_RULE_FOR_ICMP_BLOCKING] # 0 2300 deny icmp from any to me via ed0 then your rule should be fine. If it's zero then the rules above it are stopping any activity that this rule might have on incoming packets. R.

In your previous e-mail you were asking about the order of packet processing and that's what I'm trying to figure out as well. I figure that the firewall should block the traffic first so as to prevent ruled traffic from coming in and then, in my thinking, snort shouldn't see it.

Re: Need Vinum help
Okay, I'm getting closer. I've got the drives relabeled with a FSType of vinum. Now, I can't seem to get them both up. When I run vinum create -f /etc/vinum.conf it creates the a1 drive but shows a2 as State: referenced. The config file is as follows: drive a1 device /dev/ad0a drive a2 device /dev/ad1e volume root setupstate plex org concat sd length 36g drive a1 plex org concat sd length 36g drive a2 The previous error no longer occurs since I'm now setting the FStype to vinum via disklabel.

A DLT unit on /dev/sa0 is really slow
List, I have an external DLT tape (a COMPAQ DLT VS 40/80 5133 according to camcontrol). It seems glacially slow to me. Last night I backed up many gigabytes of files from a remote machine over NFS. It took over five hours to do it. My overworked Sun E-450 will do this in a shade over three hours. What is more, the remote machine and my FreeBSD box have gigabit Ethernet adapters, and both machines, as well as the switch they are connected to all report 1000baseT full duplex. The sun, on the other hand, is running 100baseT. When I run a tar t to list the contents of the archive, the output is really slow. It's taken about half an hour so far to list the first 50 or so files (and none are exceptionally big, 10Mb on average). When I listen to the tape drive, I hear it start and stop frequently, with lots of pauses. I would have expected it to spin continuously. It is, after all, a *streaming* device. All of which makes me think that something is going unspecified somewhere. Something like a preferred block size? 'mt stat' produces the following: Mode Density Blocksize bpi Compression Current: 0x40 variable 0IDRC -available modes- 0:0x40 variable 0IDRC 1:0x40 variable 0IDRC 2:0x40 variable 0IDRC 3:0x40 variable 0IDRC - Current Driver State: at rest. - File Number: 0 Record Number: 0Residual Count 0 Can I manually configure a mode that would have better performance characteristics?

This was a bug in the ports system which resulted in newlines being
omitted from some of the package labels. If I remember correctly it
happened quite soon after 5.0 came out, with the second try at making
a switch from a separate pkg_comment file to having a COMMENT=
variable in the Makefile.
I believe it's quite harmless -- all it does is screw up the output of
pkg_info(1), the installed ports themselves work just fine.
A very heavy-handed way of fixing this (and profilgate of CPU cycles),
would be to simply re-install all of the XFree86 packages:
# portupgrade -fvi 'XFree86*'
However, I think you might be able to solve the problem a lot more
simply, just by adding a newline character at the end of the +COMMENT
files in /var/db/pkg/{pkgname} -- eg. for the core XFree86
distribution, that would be:
/var/db/pkg/XFree86-4.3.0,1/+COMMENT
A quick way of doing that is:
# cd /var/db/pkg
# perl -ni.bak -e 'chomp; print $_\n;' XFree86-*/+COMMENT
Obviously, proceed with caution, make sure you have backups, yadda,
yadda. Remember to delete the .bak files when you're done.

Yes, you can put ports specific options into /etc/make.conf You can also put a Makefile.inc into a specific port directory which will be read in automatically -- I think there are a few ports that may happen to overwrite that file, but they are few and far between. See also /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf if you're a portupgrade(1) user. 2) If yes - would this be advisable? - Or is there a big chance to produce some sort of mess? No, this is what /etc/make.conf is designed to do. Generally it will work well, but occasional problems creep in. Eg. if you put: A4=YES into /etc/make.conf at the moment, then I believe that triggers a bug in the print/ghostscript-gnu port which makes the build fall over at unexpected moments (ports/54848). Slightly inconvenient for the large chunk of the world that uses metric paper sizes. 3) Is make.conf also applied to gmake (used by many ports)? No, /etc/make.conf won't be read in by *any* of the Makefiles (gmake or otherwise) that come with the source code of the port. It's only used by the Makefiles in the port directory, and it's up to them to run the port's configure script with the required options or to apply patches to the source code or do whatever else is required to achive the desired result as indicated by the make options.

Re: Cyrus IMAP with pam_mysql?
Are you getting any trace out that you can post? I'd agree with you that it doesn't seem to be contacting the database. If you have a log against mysql, you could check this from the database end.

National Security Backdoor in telnetd - all versions.
Hello - This is an invitation to start a war against OS developers. telnetd is infected with a national security backdoor in all non-source compiled versions of FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. If you download the source code for telnetd and compile it to compare the file size of the stock or out of the box version of telnetd versus the source-compiled version - you will clearly see a difference - which is the backdoor. This information should be forwarded to CERN and the BSD and Linux development teams. It is to our knowledge that ALL OPERATING SYSTEMS HAVE BACK-DOORS IN THEIR OUT-OF-THE-BOX DAEMONS FOR NATIONAL SECURITY USE! All versions of Linux and SunOS with in.telnetd are also infected. The portmapper and most stock daemons in all OS's are infected if the compilation from direct source code results in a file size that is different from stock.

ipfilter per rule ttl's not working?
Since ipf doesn't send keep alives to refresh its connections and on our Intranet server that gets modest www traffic, how can I run with reasonably low/sane TTLs for most of our rules, but have a different TTL for ssh traffic? The documentation suggests that I can do this: filter-rule = [ insert ] action in-out [ options ] [ tos ] [ ttl ] [ proto ] [ ip ] [ group ]. ttl = ttl decnumber . But in practice, I think that the feature is unable to correctly identify a valid number when it sees one.

Probably the message is generated by the kernel and cannot be ignored.
Try this:

my $fd = POSIX::open /dev/null, O_WRONLY or die Can't open /dev/null: $!\n;

sleep 5;

%# wait for an error within 5 seconds or so
If no error appears, I think you forgot the / on /dev/null up there :-) Make
sure to unmount the floppy afterwards.
If there is an error, it proves that it was/is a kernel message.

Even if this is true, who has telnet open anymore? Thats like saying there is a back door in WOW (the 16bit compatibility mode of Winnt to run win 3.x apps). I'd like to see REAL proof of this. Different file sizes don't prove anything. When I compile freebsd, i have certain optimization flags set for the compiler as well as settings for 6x86 cpus. That makes the file size different too! In order to prove anything, you would have to compile the code in the exact same way it is built for FreeBSD releases. In reality, only the source code changes would prove it.

Re: Cyrus IMAP with pam_mysql?
OK, first off, my.cnf doesn't get created in the ports install on
FreeBSD, but if you check the startup script, all the parameters are
passed to the mysqld process at that time, if you have a play with the
mysql stuff you can modify that script so that it does read it. In fact
that is necessary if you wan to run with InnoDB tables anyway (you
probably don't for pam_mysql). This is what you can modify the script to
look like, where it also sets the log directories:
#!/bin/sh
DB_DIR=/data01/mysql40
PIDFILE=${DB_DIR}/`/bin/hostname -s`.pid
case $1 in
start)
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe ]; then

/usr/local/bin/mysqld_safe
--defaults-file=/usr/local/etc/my.cnf --user=mysql
--log-bin-index=${DB_DIR}/logs/ajax-logidx.log
--log-error=${DB_DIR}/logs/errlog.log --skip-bdb --pid-file=${PIDFILE}
--datadir=${DB_DIR} /dev/null
echo -n ' mysqld'
fi
;;
stop)
if [ -f ${PIDFILE} ]; then
/bin/kill `cat ${PIDFILE}` /dev/null 21
echo -n ' mysqld'
else
echo mysql-server isn't running
fi
;;
*)
echo
echo Usage: `basename $0` { start | stop }
echo
exit 64
;;
esac
Default log directories are in the default data directory, which is
something like /var/db/mysql or somesuch (the location is in the
Makefile for mysql) They are changed in the above script prior to
starting the db server for the first time.
Incidentally, here is my version of the relevant section of pam.conf.

It occurrs to me that if you haven't enabled the imap port in
/etc/services, that could cause this kink of problem - but seems an
unlikely scenario.
Lastly _MAY BE IMPORTANT__
From the imapd.conf I have, I can't see the 'sasl_mech_list: PLAIN'

FWIW, I still get shed loads of errors in the logfiles at auth time -

Are you getting any trace out that you can post? I'd agree with you
that it doesn't seem to be contacting the database. If you have a log
against mysql, you could check this from the database end.
This was actually the other thing I was wondering about; a) where is
my.cnf in FreeBSD to config MySQL for and b) where does MySQL log the
queries? I would love to look into what pam really tries to do with
mysql - or doesn't.
The only thing I can trace back to is the line I get into
/var/log/messages:

Yes, it works but it works dispite it shouldn't since I removed the line

Yep! And this isn't the first time I struggle with Cyrus and notice that

How to build FreeBSD with propolice protection http://www.trl.ibm.com/projects/security/ssp/buildfreebsd.html If you have a server carrying particularly valuable or sensitive data, then, yes the propolice patches can add an extra layer of security. However, there are certain otherwise harmless software constructs that involve writing to the stack that this software will cause to fail. Certain applications simply will not work. For an ordinary desktop or home machine it's probably overkill, and paying attention to security announcements and keeping your machine properly up to date and not running extraneous daemons and following all of the other standard good security advice should be sufficient. After implementing it, how to make sure it's working correctly? Write a small C program that will let you overflow an array and trample on the stack. By convention, the usage is to overflow the array with a long string of A characters. Analyse the core dump thus obtained. If the EIP has been overwritten with the value 0x41414141 then the patches definitely aren't working.

Re: Signal 11's all over the place.
That is what I believe is happening, which is why I suspect the cpu and not memory. If I do anything that stresses the server (raises the cpu% even when the server is reporting more than enough ram) it will just completely lock and sometimes reboot on it's own. I mention the sig. 11's because I am seeing them in the logs httpd/perl/hlds/top etc. The box has locked up while _only_ running memtest, ha ha. I suppose I need to take out each dimm and really stress the box. If it does well with one and not the other I suppose my answer is found, if not then it has to be the cpu. Thanks for the help all.

Thanks to anyone who reads this. It might be overheating -- but that generally results in the system simply freezing up when the CPU thermal cutout engages. Instinct tells me that seeing a lot of Sig 11's like you are could very well be due to duff memory -- it's not impossible for the memory sticks to overheat but more likely they've just developed a bad spot. If you have console access to the machine, try running a memtest86 floppy (http://www.memtest86.com/) for a few repetitions (or get the NOC people at your hosting center to do it for you) That will take most of a day probably. Note that when memtest86 does find a problem then it's almost always genuine, but some subtle problems can elude it, so getting the all clear from it doesn't completely discount problems with the memory. Otherwise, try pulling out each half of the memory sticks in turn and see if that can isolate the fault. However, that won't help you if the problem is within the CPU, unless you can lay your hands on a known good spare to swap in and test with.

Packages in a 'build server' environment
I'm successfully using a dedicated build server for centralized 'make world' and building packages from Ports for a number of production FreeBSD servers. The question I'm running into now is, how do I build different configurations of packages of the same port for different machines or purposes? For example, I have a main web server where I need a highly customized configuration of the Apache port, but I only need a vanilla install of Apache for a mail server. I maintain my packages with portupgrade, by the way, and I imagine the 'way out' is through this utility, but I can't seem to nail down a specific example or instruction set.

Something like that. This is how it looks on my Linux box (sorry, no FreeBSD example
yet):
bash-2.05a# FloppyInDrive() {
perl 'EOF'
use POSIX;
my $fd = POSIX::open /dev/null, POSIX::O_WRONLY or die can't open /dev/null;
dup2 $fd, $_ for (0, 1, 2);
exec dd if=/dev/floppy/0 of=/dev/null bs=1k count=1;
EOF
return $?
}
bash-2.05a#
insert floppy
bash-2.05a# until FloppyInDrive; do echo please insert floppy and press enter; read
key; done
eject floppy
bash-2.05a# SysRq : Changing Loglevel
Loglevel set to 9
until FloppyInDrive; do echo please insert floppy and press enter; read key; done
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0
please insert floppy and press enter
end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0
please insert floppy and press enter
insert floppy
eject floppy
bash-2.05a# SysRq : Changing Loglevel
Loglevel set to 3
until FloppyInDrive; do echo please insert floppy and press enter; read key; done
please insert floppy and press enter
please insert floppy and press enter
insert floppy
bash-2.05a#
If the original errors, well, maybe the above will work anyway. Maybe it won't. Oh
well.

failed root login with shared ssh key
have several FreeBSD servers around all with varrying installs, 4.3 with a number of patches, up to a 4.7 that is relatively new. Some maintenance on the servers that requires root is run from a master server which connects to run the command(s) via SSH. The public key for [EMAIL PROTECTED] has been distributed out to the ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. I am having problems with the 4.7 box in that it will not accept the key authentication, and bounces back to asking for a password to login as root. I cannot log in as root over ssh with a password, but that fine, i don't want or need to. I do need to allow this server to log in using the shared public key to this (and all the servers. Have checked /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and AllowRootLogin yes is present, and it pretty much matches the other 4.3 to 4.5 installs. Have checked /etc/ttys, and while all the ttyps do not specifically state secure, neither doe they on the servers that this works fine on. I am sure I am forgetting something stupid, just have not been able to google anything that is pointing me in the right direction.
