First I'll say what I do know: - there is a /var/mail/Marty, empty - emails to Marty go to root's mailbox with the message user unknown I don't know much. :) I did sendmails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] and this is what appended to /var/log/maillog Try changing your user account to 'marty' -- all lower case. Use vipw(8) to do that. In general under Unix, usernames are almost always all lower case and so are most host and domainnames. The problem is that sendmail(8) [ or any standards compliant MTA ] expects e-mail addresses to be case insensitive. The DNS copes pretty well with the host part -- if you look carefully, you'll see that the FreeBSD mailer uses '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' pretty much interchangeably. In fact, sendmail(8) will always match domainnames case insensitively, but will preserve the case of any addresses it processes. The tricky part is the username -- here sendmail just passes the username through in whatever case it gets *except* when it does final delivery (ie. when it passes the message to the local delivery agent). At that point, it maps the username to lowercase -- for historical reasons: when sendmail started out there were mail systems that didn't understand the distinction between lower case and upper case at all, and the addresses on e-mails passing through those systems would get case folded. However on unix systems, user 'Marty' is not automatically the same as user 'marty' or as user 'MARTY'. Such systems have long since vanished from the net, but I have a sneaking suspicion that even nowadays some windows mailers may decide that they know best how to capitalise names and will silently correct them for you. It is possible to set up sendmail to preserve the case of usernames but doing so would mean your mail system wouldn't be standards compliant, so I'll keep quiet on the issue -- unless anyone really does have a burning desire to know how?

Well, you can assume that the base system was installed or you wouldn't have a machine to run. The other stuff you can install at that stage from sysinstall(8) is basically the contents of /usr/src or /usr/ports -- so if there's stuff under those directories then you can definitely say that *more* than base was installed. However, don't assume that everything necessarily was installed through sysinstall(8) -- it's common to maintain the system sources and the ports tree using cvsup(1): see the contents of /usr/sup for a log of what has been installed. Look at the timestamps on the files under /usr/obj to see when the system was last rebuilt. Or use the 'uname' command to show when the running kernel was compiled: % uname -v The third big chunk of stuff that you can install from sysinstall(8) are pkgs -- although these are generally installed either using the pkg_* tools from a running system, or (preferably) by compiling the port. Either way, you can get a listing of what's installed by: % pkg_info -Ia (or even just 'ls -la /var/db/pkg'). See also pkg_version(1) for comparing the version numbers of what's installed with what's available in your ports tree.

There's audio/mp3_check which accepts an arbitrary number of files (ie: you can wrap it in find+xargs). I'm not sure how much time this may cost though. As for video: this entirely depends on the format and what 'corrupted' means exactly. A corrupted header might be easy to find, but other than that, most (if not all) video formats allow for arbitrary lengths, which means that each frame has it's own checksum or equivalent. -- Melvyn === FreeBSD sarevok.webteckies.org 5.2-BETA FreeBSD 5.2-BETA #1: Sat Nov 29 00:15:33 CET 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ SAREVOK_NOFW_DBG i386 === pgp0.pgp Description: signature

Pentium II w/ orig 10GB HDD (now clean install WIN98SE) + 2d (HDD01) 40GB HDD which is not bootable, used only for backup (local and LAN). My updated hp Phoenix BIOS v 1.09 w/LBA support recognised the second hard drive w/o problem and it works fine. I was hoping that I could partition only the 2d hard drive and install the boot manager included on the CD (easy boot I guess) on the 2d hard drive, until I read the FAQs online that mentioned this boot manager uses the MBR - which must be located on the original, bootable hard drive (I have never used a boot manager unless Windows 98 Start-up Menu qualifies). You should install FreeBSD's boot manager (it's the easy way) on the firts disc (ad0) and on the disk on which you put FreeBSD. When booting it will promt you with something like: F1 DOS F5 Drive 2 If you'll choose F1 it will boot you win98 (and you will get here the Windows 98 Start-up Menu). If you'll choose F5 it will promt with something like: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F5 Drive 1 choose F2 to boot FreeBSD. man boot0cfg You might want do dig from the following link: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=boot0cfgapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+5.1-RELEASE+and+Portsformat=html The FreeBSD `boot0' boot manager permits the operator to select from which disk and slice an i386 machine (PC) is booted. Note that what are referred to here as ``slices'' are typically called ``partitions'' in non-BSD documentation relating to the PC. Typically, only non-removable disks are sliced. The boot0cfg utility optionally installs the `boot0' boot manager on the specified disk; and allows various operational parameters to be config- ured. On PCs, a boot manager typically occupies sector 0 of a disk, which is known as the Master Boot Record (MBR). The MBR contains both code (to which control is passed by the PC BIOS) and data (an embedded table of defined slices). But then I noticed a reference (link above) to booting from DOS using FBSDBOOT.EXE and that got me to wondering if I could just partition ½ of the 2d hard drive for FreeBSD, install FreeBSD on that partition Yes, you could. and then boot to it using the Windows 98 Start-up Menu / DOS. Nop. It work like this: 1. The BIOS loads the code from MBR of the boot disk. 2. The MBR choose (or promt you to choose) what to load next. 3. This is where Windows 98 Start-up Menu get the control. Would FBSDBOOT.EXE find the BSD partition on the 2d hard drive? Would I just locate FBSDBOOT.EXE on the Windows partition of the 2d hard drive? Of course I'm trying to avoid partitioning the orig hard drive w/ WIN98SE, and I'd like to use the slave hard drive for both WIN98 backup and FreeBSD. Thank you.

Still, if anyone *does* know the facts, I'd like to know what the case really is with the IDENT port and adaptive stealth. don't get carried away by the nonsense at grc.com. the marketroid-speak term adaptive stealth can be normally described as stateful filtering (and dropping the packets instead of rejecting them), and it means that (in case of TCP), the target machine throws away packets that: * don't have the SYN bit set (and the ACK bit unset) * are not part of an established conversation you can completely stealth a machine if it runs no publically available servers. the problem with ident is similar to FTP: the first connection goes from you out, the other party then tries to connect to you (as far as the stack is concerned, this is a completely unrelated connection). but, the question is: what is your problem? why do you need to have identd(8) running? will anything you need break without it? if not, the correct solution to your problem is IMO to *reject* connection attempts to your port 113. -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message.see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MySQL question...
Hi all, I've finished installing MySQL on FreeBSD-4.5 RELEASE, now I've to add the users to control their databases, but I'm confused...where they will write their databases or do I have to create each one, I'm running as mysql user, they will have access to /mysql sub-dir ??? Can I create a sub-dir for each user with full access to it and no access to anymore one ???

In general under Unix, usernames are almost always all lower case and so are most host and domainnames. Ohhh, didn't know that. Thanks Matthew, this worked. The problem is that sendmail(8) [ or any standards compliant MTA ] expects e-mail addresses to be case insensitive. I knew that emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] are both handled the same way, but assumed the case insensitivity was a feature of the whole enchilada if you know what I mean. The tricky part is the username -- here sendmail just passes the username through in whatever case it gets *except* when it does final delivery (ie. when it passes the message to the local delivery agent). At that point, it maps the username to lowercase [snip] However on unix systems, user 'Marty' is not automatically the same as user 'marty' or as user 'MARTY'. If I understand correctly you're saying that by and large, modern Unix systems are case sensitive but since email is not the mailbox name e.g. 'Marty' is converted to lower case at some point in processing even if mixed case is used by the person sending the email properly wrt the server's config it will still fail unless everything's all lower case because of the case conversion done behind the scenes? It is possible to set up sendmail to preserve the case of usernames but doing so would mean your mail system wouldn't be standards compliant, so I'll keep quiet on the issue -- unless anyone really does have a burning desire to know how? Not me, because that would mean [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be a different address than [EMAIL PROTECTED], right? I have to agree that this is not imo a good thing. However it would be nice if any comparisons that get poisoned by the case conversion were themselves case insensitive e.g. uid =~ /$uid/i [in Perl] so that I could still have Marty as a user on my server. This does seem to help explain why on my web accounts my uid is case insensitive. Albeit they must have an lc convertor on the front end because mixed case works as well as lower case.

How to use a mirrord cvs repository
I have several machines at home at both (4) STABLE and (5) current. I as using cvsup on them to keep things current, but I thought it would be better if I would just mirror the whole cvs repository and then, on each build machine, grab the appropriate release and compile. There are several places which clearly describe how to do the cvs mirroring, but how do i use the mirror locally? I was successful in grabbing the repository.

Then cd into /usr and: cvs -d/home/ncvs co -rYOUR_TAG_HERE src Edit /etc/make.conf: CVS_UPDATE= yes CVSROOT?= /home/ncvs Unset any SUP* variables to make the 'make update' target work correctly. Adjust the CVSROOT variable if you share the src mirror between machines. Have a look at the cvs(1) manpage for examples of that, allthough probably the best method is to have /home/ncvs available via NFS on the local network, because it doesn't require you to allow 'root' to ssh to other machines or setup a pserver.

apache has fallen [and it won't get up]

and at that point things stop working as expected.
After a while 'ps' shows that the login is the front-process (1059 in
the output below) for ttyd0 but it becomes idle regardless any console
input:
# ps -ef | grep login
483 v0 Is 0:00.02 login [pam] (login)
1059 d0 Is+ 0:00.01 login
When I kill the login process the 'getty process' is started as
front-process for ttyd0:
# ps -ef | grep ttyd0
1085 d0 Ss+0:00.00 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd0
Again the login prompt appears in the terminal connected to the serial
console.
ps also shows that the login process raised CPU scheduling priority
(''). Tests show that this process does that when waiting for a
password in a VGA-console. So I guess the login process is waiting for
a password but somehow it does not receive anything from the serial
port. Hense it becomes idle.
However, console messages (like: login: Nov 29 21:37:46 cyclone
login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyv1) are redirected fine to the serial
console.
Does anyone have an idea what might go wrong here?

Re: adaptive stealth in ipfw?
On 11/30/03 04:49 PM, Roman Neuhauser sat at the `puter and typed: SNIP Still, if anyone *does* know the facts, I'd like to know what the case really is with the IDENT port and adaptive stealth. don't get carried away by the nonsense at grc.com. the marketroid-speak term adaptive stealth can be normally described as stateful filtering (and dropping the packets instead of rejecting them), and it means that (in case of TCP), the target machine throws away packets that: * don't have the SYN bit set (and the ACK bit unset) * are not part of an established conversation I think that clears things up a little. you can completely stealth a machine if it runs no publically available servers. the problem with ident is similar to FTP: the first connection goes from you out, the other party then tries to connect to you (as far as the stack is concerned, this is a completely unrelated connection). but, the question is: what is your problem? why do you need to have identd(8) running? will anything you need break without it? if not, the correct solution to your problem is IMO to *reject* connection attempts to your port 113. I don't need identd. I'm actually doing a simple reject on port 113 already, but I figured that if I could keep the system as 'invisible' as possible, that would be best. I AM running various services, but only for my own personal/family use. And I am the only one that should be accessing all of these services from outside the firewall. I had wondered if there was enough benefit to this process to make it worth the overhead. I'm beginning to think it isn't. I've not been a security overreactor for some time, and I didn't intend this to be a return to that mindset, so I'm just going to drop this and leave the default reject on port 113. The other ports I had rejected are now simply being dropped. Other than that, I check my security mailings every day, and have had no problems for a very long time. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Re: freebsd 4.8-STABLE hangs on boot with no error message
I'm running freebsd 4.8-STABLE, I installed it a little while ago and it has been running fine as my broadband router for a few weeks now, no problems. This morning there was a powercut, and when I came to the machine and attached a monitor, I discovered that it was making it through the BIOS, getting to the spinning -\|/-\|/ prompt, where it freezes on the first | every time. Uh-oh. That's bad. That shows the system is trying and failing to read the kernel from your hard drive. If so, first thing to try is running fsck on your root partition: # fsck -y /dev/ad0s1a Thought I'd just reply to say how this one panned out in case it helps anyone trawling the archives in the future: I booted off the CD, ran fsck, got bad super block messages. Unable to fix it by recommended methods, I was becoming frustrated and came close to wiping the disk for a reinstall. Instead I put it in one of my other machines, and it booted my system fine. Then into a third machine, that worked fine as well. Once it was clear that the disk was not the cause of the problem, I began to poke around a lot in the BSD machine, and eventually found that what had happened was that the powercut had caused the CMOS to flip the type option for my hard disk from normal to auto (not really a noticeable difference imho!), changing this back meant it worked fine again. So just one of those random incidents really! Thanks for the help given :) Neil. Download Yahoo!

Once you've got the root and swap partitions sorted, how you lay out the rest makes little difference. There are minor gains to be made by placing the most heavily used partitions towards the outer cylinders of the disk, but that doesn't apply on RAID5 or RAID0 (striped) disk arrays, and the amount gained hardly justifies the effort spent tweaking things. Layout is more a matter of individual taste than anything. Two points though: i) Don't put /boot on a separate partition. /boot contains stuff that is essential for booting the system, and as such *has* to be part of the root filesystem. ii) It's not so much the order of creation of the partitions that counts, but the order they lie across the drive. You don't even have to make the b, d, e, f, g, h partitions lie in cylinder order, although it would be perverse to shuffle them around arbitrarily. Putting the root 'a' partition anywhere except starting at cylinder 1 is asking for trouble though -- this is one of those conventions that practically has the force of law.

Is it generally common practice to create a symbolic link to somewhere on, say, /usr to store the databasi? If you know beforehand that you're going to run a mysql database with large databases (or use innodb which will never shrink!), than it's wise to create a large partition /var/db/mysql on boot. Otherwise you can set the DB_DIR variable during installation of MySQL to f.e.: /usr/local/var/mysql which is not unheard of. On my workstation I use /usr/db/mysql, but on my workstation I also have a 15G /usr partition. Whichever you choose, it's best to choose a DB_DIR ending in /mysql, so you can always decide to add another disk and mount that as $DB_DIR.

Re: FIRST INSTALL QUESTION
SUBJECT: FIRST INSTALL QUESTION http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/multi-os/ch5.html I was hoping that I could partition only the 2d hard drive and install the boot manager included on the CD (easy boot I guess) on the 2d hard drive, until I read the FAQs online that mentioned this boot manager uses the MBR - which must be located on the original, bootable hard drive (I have never used a boot manager unless Windows 98 Start-up Menu qualifies). Just a little clarification here. Maybe that is all you need to figure it out. When the BIOS boots first, before anything on the disk gets going, it tries to hand control over to boot managers on its list of bootable devices. Usually nowdays that list is, in order: The floppy drive, the CD, the first hard drive. If it doesn't gind anything on the floppy, it goes to the CD, if it finds nothing there for booting, it goes to the HD. So, the first HD has to have something there to accept the handoff from the BIOS. This is the MBR. Generally a basic MBR, like the default one in FreeBSD does a couple of minor things and then looks for bootable slices. It looks at the boot block of each disk slice on each disk that it can talk with. It then gives you a menu and lets you select which of those slices to boot from. The default FreeBSD MBR is very functional but very basic. It only knows names for a few types of bootable slices. But, it can set up and hand off controll to any of them that follow standard boot brocedures - even if it doesn't have a name for it. When the MBR hands off control, the slice boot record takes over and continues booting - mainly brings in a kernel to get things really going. In FreeBSD this is done with two utilities. Fdisk not only makes the slices of a disk, but it also installs the MBR if told to and it marks slices as bootable or not. THen disklabel, divides the slices in to partitions and it also writes the boot record in to the slice if told to do so. This can all be done from the sysinstall utility during initial installation because it invokes these utilities when needed with the needed switches and parameters. All you have to do is tell it if the disk needs an MBR and if the slice should be bootable. Of course, if you have enough of a system running to boot at least to single user mode and run fdisk and disklabel yourself, you can run these as you please. This is especially so when you are setting up a second disk - possibly as some type of backup or development disk. Note that some sort of MBR that knows how to boot all the possible slice types (eg be able to hand of control to the slice boot block) must be on the first disk.If the WIn-98 MBR can boot the FreeBSD slice, then it is fine. I have heard that Win-98 won't do that. But, the FreeBSD MBR will boot the Win-98, Win-95, Win-XP, etc slices just as well as it does a FreeBSD slice. It just calls the Win-9x slices MSDOS and the XP unknown or something like that, but it works. jerry But then I noticed a reference (link above) to booting from DOS using FBSDBOOT.EXE and that got me to wondering if I could just partition ½ of the 2d hard drive for FreeBSD, install FreeBSD on that partition and then boot to it using the Windows 98 Start-up Menu / DOS. Would FBSDBOOT.EXE find the BSD partition on the 2d hard drive? Would I just locate FBSDBOOT.EXE on the Windows partition of the 2d hard drive? Of course I'm trying to avoid partitioning the orig hard drive w/ WIN98SE, and I'd like to use the slave hard drive for both WIN98 backup and FreeBSD.

Well, there are definitely _options_ in /etc/make.conf that I would look at, since really the job of that file is to set defaults for make, and associated functions to build software. And don't forget to look for things that are actually activated when the system runs. /etc/rc.conf(.local), /usr/local/etc/rc.d, and /etc/crontab and cron files in user accounts, too. Those can be a problem. One thing I can't quite remember is if stuff that goes to console during /stand/sysinstall installation actually gets logged in /var/log/messages*. I don't think it does, but it wouldn't hurt to look at the logfiles to see what kind of installation activity went on recently. And then there may be some boot time options, like LKMs that get configured in one of the /boot files, I think /boot/defaults/loader.conf and /boot/loader.conf would be places to look. Obviously, if /usr/obj exists with craploads .o files, it is evidence an attempt has been made to rebuild the system from sources, and if cvsup records can be found, then the sources have been updated using that method. Then there are kernel modifications which can be found in /sys/i386/conf. There are other places to look. /usr/X11R6/bin is one place. Some people don't use ports or packages when they install X. They just get the sources outside the ports/packages system, and then build and install X on the box directly. It never gets recorded in /var/db/pkg. Same for other software.

Re: dhcp on one of 2 nics
- Original Message - From: Ken Vescovi Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 9:31 PM I think I can handle the dhcp config, it's just a matter of solving the first problem. There are no errors in dmesg,but they are both using irq11 as follows: pcic0 irq 11 at device 3.0 on pci0 pcic1 irq 11 at device 3.1 on pci0 Memory allocation is different for each. 0x8800 0x88001000 If the cards and/or motherboard are older, I suspect you need to find out how to set the interrupt to different values for each card. When setting those interrupts, you must not conflict with any other interrupts that are in use by other hardware. However this advice may be null and void because as I understand it, some newer stuff will actually share interrupts. Good Luck, Drew Drew Tomlinson wrote: Redirected to -questions. - Original Message - From: Ken Vescovi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 10:06 PM I finally got cable modem access here in the backwoods of west-central PA. I want to set up my Dell Latitude running 4.8 as a gateway doing PAT and using ipfw. I have 2, 3c589c cards and need one to get an address from the cable company via DHCP. The other nic will be configured as the gateway for my home net. Problem one: Card 2 is recognized, but I get this message No free Configuration for card 3Com corp' and no device id is assigned. It doesn't matter which slot the card is in, it seems to only recognize the first and give it device id ep0. I removed the 'default' setting from pcic1 in the kernel config as follows: device pcic0 at isa? irq 0 port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd device pcic1 at isa? irq 0 port 0x3e2 iomem 0xd4000 But it's still not recognized. Any suggestions? I don't really know about this one but I don't any changes are needed in your kernel config. You must have the right driver compiled in as it recognizes one card. If the cards aren't plug-n-play, are you sure both cards are set up to use different interrupts and memory areas? Are both cards seen in your dmesg output? Problem 2 is how do I configure one nic for dhcp and the other for static. I can do the static config, but how do I config the system to have static on card 1 and dhcp on card 2? man rc.conf and man dhclient. You use rc.conf to specify settings for each NIC and dhclient will get setup info from a DHCP server.

This is used by mod_usertrack to generate a session id. There are some other modules that also use this feature, but I can't think of any off-hand. It's also convenient if you use an log-analyzer that checks whether there are duplicate lines. You can log the created id in a separate field and thus make sure that the same file requested twice within a second, from the same host, by the same browser (think /images/spacer.gif) is something else then a duplicate logline in the file. In a nutshell: if you don't care about mod_usertrack or wrongly detected duplicate loglines, you have no use for mod_unique_id. Any other apache module requiring it, will complain soon enough, but since you have it running without - you seem to have no such dependency. -- Melvyn === FreeBSD sarevok.webteckies.org 5.2-BETA FreeBSD 5.2-BETA #1: Sat Nov 29 00:15:33 CET 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ SAREVOK_NOFW_DBG i386 === pgp0.pgp Description: signature

SOLVED: Can't install gaim on FreeBSD 4.x

Re: dhcp on one of 2 nics
Based on my reading thus far, that's the problem as I see it too. I'm trying to find out how to set the interrupts. Not sure where to set them though. Looking through my current kernel config (LINT and default too) and pccard.conf doesn't seem to give me the info I need or I'm missing something. I'm not a freebsd expert, (networking background) so any help is appreciated. Thanks for your input.

There are no errors in dmesg,but they are both using irq11 as follows: pcic0 irq 11 at device 3.0 on pci0 pcic1 irq 11 at device 3.1 on pci0 Memory allocation is different for each. 0x8800 0x88001000 If the cards and/or motherboard are older, I suspect you need to find out how to set the interrupt to different values for each card. When setting those interrupts, you must not conflict with any other interrupts that are in use by other hardware. However this advice may be null and void because as I understand it, some newer stuff will actually share interrupts.

Raid Array Stripe Size Investigation
After some initial trouble getting my FreeBSD box up and running, I'm happy to report that I've been able to conduct a few empirical tests on IDE hardware RAID array stripe size and performance. I decided to do these benchmarks when I noticed a lack of this information on the web and as part of the mailing list. Information on the setup of the tests and results can be found here: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra/RaidResults.html If anyone would care to add some insight into why Bonnie and IOZone are/aren't good benchmarks for such a test, feel free to share. Also, I didn't bother to write any conclusions to the tests; I merely generated the data. As with everything RAID, there's no 'best' configuration, and it doesn't seem like there was a clear winner as a result. I also doubt whether you could draw any conclusions about the OS and hardware driver implementation. As far as single-user systems go, I don't think you'd see any difference performance-wise regardless of stripe size. If someone can suggest a methodology for multi-user testing, I'd consider giving it a go. NOTE: I do still have a question about large disks. My 4x200 RAID5 array (~550GB) won't load if I tell sysinstall to use the entire disk as one slice, with partitions amongst that slice. Given the large size of the array, I ignored warnings about '# of cylinders' but I'm still curious why I can't use the whole disk as one bootable slice.
