You could try using the portupgrade suite.  Initally running pkgdb -F
will fix up the portupgrade db, you can then go on to use portinstall to 
install the port as required.

Sounds like you want the Berkeley Packet Filter.

The large disk option sounds like it affects the "translated" disk
geometry used by BIOS to increase the amount of disk accessible to
software that uses the BIOS for disk i/o (e.g. DOS).  FreeBSD uses
the BIOS disk i/o facilities only to read the disk when booting.

It is highly unlikely that your file system corruption problems were
related to the BIOS Large Disk Access Mode option unless you were also
using a non-FreeBSD OS on the same disk and it inadvertently did disk
writes through the BIOS to wrong disk locations.

ipfilter traffic blocking and tcpdump snort etc

Hi,

I've blocked a dozen or so addresses using ipfilter:

block in quick on fxp0 from 208.186.60.116 to any
block in quick on fxp0 from 216.230.149.11 to any

etc

but I still see a lot of traffic those hosts in trafshow, snort and
other packet capturing utils.  Why is this?

Is there any alternative method of blocking access from certain hosts
so that this traffic is not 'seen' by higher level /userland apps?

As background, the blocked hosts were part of a denial of service attack
which has been going on for a few hours now.  The attack was aimed at
port 80, although an odd artifact is that no httpd log entries were made
for any of the hosts attempting to connect on port 80.

A cursory nmap scan of a few of the hosts shows that all hosts had both
port 25 and 80 open, but none of the hosts accepted connections on
either of those ports.  Any idea what kind of attack this could be?

RE: It's very relevant emailing you

To get your sound card found in FBSD version 4.9 add   device pcm
statement to your kernel source and recompile your kernel. I do not
know why this statement has not been added to the generic kernel.
To get your pc to find your Nic cards try addingdevice puc
statement to your kernel source and recompile your kernel. Some
older PC bios have trouble figuring out PCI Nic cards irq's. You can
also try changing your Bio setting to disable plug-n-play option.
Also be sure no Nic card is in the number 1 PCI slot, that's the
slot closest to the power supply on most motherboards.

Read the FBSD handbook for instructions on how to recompile your
kernel.

This is covered in the FAQ:

10.19. How do I add pseudoterminals to the system?

   If you have lots of telnet, ssh, X, or screen users, you will probably
run
   out of pseudoterminals. Here is how to add more:

1. Build and install a new kernel with the line

 pseudo-device pty 256

   in the configuration file.

2. Run the commands

 # cd /dev
 # sh MAKEDEV pty{1,2,3,4,5,6,7}

   to make 256 device nodes for the new terminals.

3. Edit /etc/ttys and add lines for each of the 256 terminals. They
   should match the form of the existing entries, i.e. they look like

 ttyqc none network

   The order of the letter designations is tty[pqrsPQRS][0-9a-v], using
a
   regular expression.

4. Reboot the system with the new kernel and you are ready to go.

The GERNIC kernel doesn't detect any soundcart. You have to build you
own version that does. You can read how to do this in the FreeBSD
handbook (www.freebsd.org/handbook). Its to book to read if you have a
problem with something.

About hardware support: not all hardware is supported. If you ethernet
card doesn't work and you didn't cut any out of the kernel, then its
proberbly not gonna work. www.freebsd.org has a link on the top rigth
that tell you what hardware is and what is not supported.

No body have told you that FreeBSD support all the availeble hardware.

Phoenix BIOS, hard disk data loss

2003-12-04 Thread sd

On the chance that this information might help someone else.

Some months ago, just after buying a Tyan Tiger s2466 MPX dual processor 
motherboard and installing FreeBSD 5.0 on it, I experienced a lot of 
data loss (lost files and directories, unrecoverable by fsck). I 
thought the problem might be related to disk geometry (I'm fairly new 
to FreeBSD and the sysinstall disk geometry warning concerned me).

However, after a couple months I decided to change just one setting in 
the Phoenix BIOS: Large Disk Access Mode

There are two options for Large Disk Access Mode: "DOS" and "Other"

The help text for this item says: "This option denotes that a hard drive 
with more than 1024 cylinders, more than 16 heads and or more than 64 
tracks per sector is present. Choose OTHER when using OSes such as 
UNIX."

So, at first I had chosen "Other." However, after all the data loss, I 
felt I had nothing (more) to lose so I changed it to DOS just to see if 
it made a difference. Apparently it did. I have experienced no more 
lost data (from hard disk corruption or problems) in the six or so 
months since I made the change.

Maybe this will help someone else. Thanks,

Steve D

IPSEC Tunnel Routing question

2003-12-04 Thread Tom Thompson

I would like to route all traffic over a gif/ipsec tunnel

I have the following situation
Existing internet connection in building A
Building to building wireless(between building A and Building B)

To secure the traffic going across the wireless I would like to run an 
ipsec tunnel between freebsd 5.1 based machines sitting at Building A 
and Building B.  I have the tunnels up and running but I am experiencing 
a problem with routing.  Building B does not have an internet connection 
so it needs to use the internet connection at Building A.

To lay it out in more details
Router at building A connections to the internet
FreeBSD 5.1 machine at Building A connects to router and to wireless bridges
FreeBSD 5.1 machine at Building B connects to Wireless bridges and internal network

What do I need to do you get traffic to flow from Building B to 
Building A and out A's internet connection?

I have tried setting building B defaultrouter to building A internal address(other 
side of GIF tunnel)

Thanks

A quick Google search shows that it's adapter with Atmel chipset on it. I have 
written a driver for these devices for FreeBSD 5.X .
You can find it here :
http://vitsch.net/bsd/atuwi/

The latest driver I've released only supports Ad-hoc mode, but I have made a

code.

Out of pty's

2003-12-04 Thread Lee Harr

Looks like my system is running out of free pty's. There are a bunch of
users on the system running screen, so we are using up a ton of the
ptys.
How do I find out the limit of ptys on my system? (sysctl doesn't
seem to show anything relevant.)
How do I increase that value? The pseudo-pty value in the kernel config
has no assigned value (ie. we are using the default) but what is the
default?
Which version of FreeBSD?

I had a similar problem on my 4.9-stable box. What I did was use
/dev/MAKEDEV to create some more pty devices.
ls /dev/pty*

will show you how many you have, then

/dev/MAKEDEV pty1   (can also use pty2 pty3 pty4 etc)

will create more.

Hi Jez,

/etc/ttys lists a ton of pseudo terminals, which is great. However,
after opening up 32 pseudo terminals (/dev/ptyp[0-9] and
/dev/ptyp[a-v]]), none of the other terminals are used (eg. /dev/ptyq*).
How do I get the system to start using those devices?

(The /etc/ttys entries for /dev/ttyp* are identical to the /dev/ttyq*
entries.)

ipnat built in FTP proxy

I running FreeBSD 4.9 gateway with IPFILTER version 3.4.31 firewall.
Have ms/windows boxes on private lan behind firewall. Have IPNAT
running with FTP proxy enabled. From the ms/win lan users view point
every things is working fine for FTP client active and passive
access to public FTP sites. The problem is I am finding default log
messages for inbound port 21 requests in the log file. The out rule
which passes the port=21 packet is an keep state rule and it looks
like that when the FTP session conversation is completed the keep
state table is releasing some left over stuff.

In an effort to better understand what I was seeing I set up an test
configured as follows.

The contents on my ipnat.rules file
# Provide special NAT services for Active/Pasv FTP from LAN users.
map rl0 10.0.10.0/29 -> 0/32 proxy port 21 ftp/tcp

# Provide NAT services for LAN users.
# NAT my private LAN ip address to what every my dynamic ISP address
is.
map rl0 10.0.10.0/29 -> 0/32

# Provide NAT services for user ppp Dial in tun0 connections.
map tun0 10.0.0.0/29 -> 0/32


The content of my test filter rules ipf.rules file
pass out quick on rl0 proto udp from any to any port = 53 keep state
pass out quick on rl0 proto tcp from any to any port = 53 keep state
pass out quick on rl0 proto tcp from any to any port = 67 keep state

# Allow out LAN PC client FTP to public Internet
pass out quick on rl0 proto tcp from any to any port = 21 flags S
keep state

# Deny Everything else trying to get out.
block out log quick on rl0 all

# Allow traffic in from ISP's DHCP server.
pass in quick on rl0 proto udp from x.x.x.x to any port = 68 keep
state

# Block and log all remaining traffic coming into the firewall
block in log quick on rl0 all

pass in  quick on xl0 all
pass out quick on xl0 all

pass in  quick on lo0 all
pass out quick on lo0 all


To test I used the FTP client on one of the LAN ms/win boxes. I
first went to 8 public FTP sites in active mode. I checked my log
file during the navigation and downloading of data from each site as
I tested it and no log messages are posted. But when I tell the FTP
client to close the connection 5 of the 8 sites cause log message.
Later when I tried to go to the FTP sites that did not generate and
log messages, I did get the log messages any way. Log file included
later in the post.

I then saved the log file and created empty log file for next round
of tests.

In the second round of tests I went to the same 8 public FTP sites
in passive mode. Again I checked my log file during the navigation
and downloading of data from each site as I tested it and no log
messages are posted. But when I tell the FTP client to close the
connection 8 of the 8 sites cause log message.

In my book this is an bug.  Now I can put block in rule on port 21
to keep this junk messages from populating my log file. But that is
not the way one gets things fixed. Now if I am doing some thing
wrong please enlighten me.

It's very relevant emailing you

2003-12-04 Thread camuflag

Honourable Mr Park

My name is Ziad Fazah.Indeed, I have already emailed you twice, 
concerning the non-possibility of Freebsd installation version 4.7. But 
after having installed Freebsd version 4.9, I got disappointed at 
Freebsd Kernel, because it didn't recognize my sound card and the 
ethernet controller.Thus, Iam asking you, whether there have been new 
switches on version 5.1 , referring  to its kernel. Unfortunately, I 
couldn't install it, due to the fact of having stopped immediately by 
announcing: Unknown cards. Thus, I checked out all irqs, and afterwards, 
I realized that my network card and the network sound hadn't been 
recognized by Freebsd. What a deception!! In anyway, I shall be awaiting 
 a response from you as soon as possible, and thanks a lot for your 
understanding.
			Yours Faithfully,
			Ziad Fazah

I believe you can increase the number of ptys by modifying /etc/ttys -
from looking at my /etc/ttys file it looks as though once the ttyp* ttys
are used up, the tty monniker changes to ttyq* etc...

Again I believe this is down to /etc/ttys.

Blocking DOS using arp

Hi,

Currently seeing an abnormal amount of http traffic consisting of only
tcp syn packets according to snort.  

My main question is how can I block inbound traffic from a given host
using arp?

Related question:
I've added block rules for the offending hosts in my ipf rule list, but
snort still sees traffic from these hosts after restarting ipf to
include the new block rules - why is this?  

TIA

I agree, it is counter-intuitive, but I know it mostly works on a Unix-to-

problem with doing it with windows as the server, though.

vnc can only grant access to a single session in windows,  and that
session's display is based on reading the video frame buffer.

This generally would mean that you can't simultaneously lock your machine and
do work on it at the same time from home. In other words, when you login
from home, everything you do will be displayed on the windows machine in
your office while you are doing it.

Re: how to force packets to go out on a specific interface

if you use ipfw then the 'fwd' command CAN be used to force this if you
set up the routes correctly.. you send the packets to addresses that can
only reached through the different interfaces according to the routes
that you have installed..

snort & PostgreSQL

2003-12-04 Thread Andrea Venturoli

Hello.
I upgraded snort from 2.0.0_1 to 2.0.5 and logging to PostgreSQL stopped working.

The file snort.conf is the same and I defined WITH_POSTGRES before using portupgrade; 
however, if I log connections to
the database, I see none.

Any hint?

 bye & Thanks
av.

P.S. I guess PostgreSQL, since another machine where I didn't upgrade snort is able to 
log here.

Out of pty's

2003-12-04 Thread Justin Burke

Hi All,

Looks like my system is running out of free pty's. There are a bunch of
users on the system running screen, so we are using up a ton of the
ptys. 

How do I find out the limit of ptys on my system? (sysctl doesn't
seem to show anything relevant.) 

How do I increase that value? The pseudo-pty value in the kernel config
has no assigned value (ie. we are using the default) but what is the
default?


TIA,
Justin

No, but you have to wait for the spinner (|/-\ and etc) before you press the

First, Steve it's great of you to go to all this effort. Thanks in advance. 
Now I wonder if you'll be surprised at how early in the procedure things 
fell apart for me. :)

My lan is set up as follows. My workstation 192.168.0.1 runs windows xp and 
shares its dialup connection through ics. In its host file it maps my fbsd 
box 192.168.0.7 to the server name swamisalami. This allows me to ftp, ssh, 
and also browse to http://swamisalami from my workstation and afaik any 
other box on the lan.

However, I don't know how to receive email from outside my lan on the fbsd

Besides that I just managed to delete a user's mailbox and don't know how 
to recreate it. But that just seems to be an omen of how much trouble this 
is going to take overall. Just part of the learning hyperbola, uh curve -- 
yeah.

*update* - I received one of the test email msgs; apparently mail (or 
sendmail) created the /var/mail/marty file on the fly, then removed it 
again once I deleted the msg. btw, what is the cockamamie mbox thingie 
about and how do I manage it? uh, sorry about the value judgement implied 
in that stmt.

You can try this with the  #dig command:
Thx, this seems a bit more informative in a way than #whois.

- the IP of your mail server is 192.168.0.10
How do I find out what sendmail's ip adr is? What about the mail server 
that Eudora uses on the winxp box, does that enter into this if I want to 
be able to send/receive email on the internet from the fbsd box?

- your default gateway for your network is 192.168.0.1
AFAIK that's right since this is the winxp/dialup shared box's ip.

- your mail server name is mail.example.com
Now I'm lost. Do you mean the name of my ISP's email server?

1> Set up DNS on the server
# cd /etc/namedb

};
Stopped here since I'm unclear about how to sub for "example.com" but am 
leaving the rest of your instructions intact for followup.

Then, up near the top of the file, make the following changes to this
section:
# Remove the // from this line:

127.0.0.1 to the IP address of your ISP DNS server:

Now create a zone file for this zone:

I am a linux user that wants to switch to freebsd... I am a bit confused

about applying updates etc..

I installed a box for trial it was 5.1, I wanted to see if I could use
ports
to update openssh for a test examp. After the port installed I noticed
that
another version of openssh was installed on the system. I talked with a
friend and he said that it was part of usr/src and I could update it by
compiling the usr.bin version.. which was fine and worked. Here are my
questions:
1) if there are two trees(lack of better words) why would ssh exist in
both
the system tree and the ports tree ? Wouldnt it be better to have it in
the
ports tree ?
Well, it IS in the ports tree, but bear a few things in mind:
1. Everything in /usr/src is considered part of the base system, equivalent 
to 'system' in GenToo (unsurprisingly, as GenToo Portage/emerge is based 
heavily on bsd ports...but see below)

2. The ports tree is optional, but where you can track system source 
updates to a given CVS label, eg STABLE (recommended for 
production/stability), the ports tree isn't versioned, it's the equivalent 
of current. When you build from a port, it essentially builds the package 
and does a pkg_add, so it's still tracked by the bsd package system.

This combination allows you to keep the base system at a stable level, and 
then either NOT update your ports tree to get the equivalent ports from the 
particular label you're tracking on a given system, or to selectivly update 
single ports software, or all of the ports collection.

2) I have used gentoo in the past and am curious if there is something
simular to emerge -up world/system -- I would like to cvs the ports/sys
and
then be able to see if anything need upgrading .. is this possible ?
Yep, install portupgrade and cvsup. If it's on a slower system, highly 
recommend doing it via pkg_add -r portupgrade or pkg_add -r cvsup
to avoid having to compile ruby, perl and possibly other dependencies from 
scratch. Once you become familiar with the way ports/portupgrade and cvsup 
work (Note- sections on all 3 in the handbook, should be installed under 
/usr/share/doc/handbook on your system), you can then if you decide to, use 
portupgrade and the buildworld target to effectively rebuild your entire 
system from source.

The quickest equivalent to emerge -pUD world is using pkg_version

3) Say there was a update to openssh .. which would be the proper way to

update .. sync the sys tree and then just update ssh .. or sync the tree
and
recompile the system ? or remove the sys version and install the port
version and update the port ?
Set up cvsup properly (handbook + example file in /usr/share/examples) to 
the label you want to track to, cron it, and have it mail you output, and 
subscribe to the freebsd security mailing list. Either should be enough to 
give you some indication by itself..

I am very happy with freebsd .. Im still in the exploring stage .. The
reasons for my questions is that I am a little weary of using freebsd in
production if I dont easily know when updates are avail, having to

the space comes from me copying and pasting from a website, not from my config files.

with generic kernel and no firewall it's the same situation. pingo-rama but no 
downloads. 

the response isn't even consistent. doing a "fetch -v 
http://207.126.111.202/index.html"; (which is rheet.mozilla.or) sometimes (more often 
than not) it gets to the "requesting http://..."; but no more but then sometimes it 
gets as far as "receiving..." but never gets more than 1024 bytes.

but, the good news is, i figured it out. it was the bloody cable after all that. the 
ifconfig was showing up as "100baseTX" but not "100baseTX " but what 
really pointed it out was the lack of a link status light when i tried a different 
ethernet card. so somewhere in that cable something is broken, i just don't know 
where. changing the plastic bits hasn't helped. the strangest thing is that it works 
(is working right now) without a hitch here on my mac - must be that the mac 
drivers/nic are more robust/less fussy than the i386/8139/freebsd counterparts. i 
don't know enough about full- or half- duplex to make more sense out of it. 

so, after two days of racking my brains and beating my head against various bits of 
brick and styrofoam padding we're back on track.

Re: Obtaining the unix o/s

2003-12-04 Thread HOLLOW, CHRISTOPHER

All I need to do is burn the iso images to my CD's and I've got the
entgire freebsd unix o/s?
Yes. The whole show. Including the current packages/ports collection.

After that, is it going to be quite a process to
install the software, or am I better off spending 60 bucks and get the
CD's from a retailer?
The installaion process is the same whether you download and burn the .iso as if you buy the retail CD. Either way, expect it to be "quite a porcess." =) The retail box ships with CDs, documentation and some sweet packaging. The online Handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ is a dynamite reference and should be ample to get you up and running. But...being the good BSD user that you are, you can sleep well at night knowing that a portion of the proceeds of your retail FreeBSD purchase ended up in the coffers of the development team.

2. Is X Windows a separate product or does it come bundled with freebsd?

A seperate product. If you create a FBSD box via the Internet,
some additional bandwidth/time will be necessary to add
X to the system. If you buy a FBSD CD set, you should have
sufficient materials on those CD's to create a working FBSD+
X Windows system without much 'Net connectivity.

Thanks.

After downloading the ISO images and burning them to CD, you will have
essentially the same thing as the first two disks of the four disk
sets that you can spend $60 to buy from a retailer.

Those first two disks contain the entire FreeBSD O/S plus various
extra important packages, like X windows.  Infact, you can install the
base system just using the 'mini-iso' which consists of the essential
parts of the first disk.

The remaining disks in the 4 CD set contain various precompiled
software packages: however the collection available is extensive, and
too much to fit in the space available, so only some of the most
popular stuff gets onto the CDs.

The entire collection, as well as the system images is available from
the FTP servers -- as pre-compiled packages from the (except those
packages where the license terms don't permit redistribution) and some
source tar balls -- or you can obtain source code etc. via cvsup.

Cheers,

Matthew

I was able to put something together. Aother PC. I've attached a copy of
the dmesg of the other machine I have. This would be the section of the
handbook on setting another pc up as a router wouldnt it?


http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-routing.html

I just want to start learning about this in the right areas to begin
with. I've never really understood nat. Think maybe I should install
FreeBSD 5.1 on the other machine or is 4.8 ok for this purpose even ok
if I want to start doing more advanced network/security settings. Is
there any advances on using 5.1 over 4.8 in this situation? So how would
I go about setting this other machine up as a router? The PC I am using
now is the one I like to do all my work on. I will have the other PC
probable on the floor just below my main PC. I have an extra DSL cable.
Plus what into what? Kinda confused here. I run these services on my
box. Thanks for the help.

You don't run disklabel on partitions; you run it on slices.  Most
disks will have a single disklabel, which creates all the partitions
needed.  Let me see if I can do an ascii-art drawing of a resize
operation:

Original system:
 
1  |__DISK__|
2  |MBR|__Slice 1_|__Slice 2|
3 |_a_|___b___|__d___|___e__|
4 |_/_|   |_/var_|_/usr_|

Row 1 is the physical layout.  Row 2 is composed of the MBR and fdisk
slices.  Row 3 is BSD disklabels, and row 4 is filesystems.  In this
example, we'll say da0s1 is a non-unix filesystem and ignore it. 
da0s2b is swap, which always uses the entire space given to it, which
is why I didn't extend it to row 4.  The disklabel header for Slice 2
is actually embedded in the first block of the first partition which is
why there's no |DL| on row 3 to match the |MBR| for slices on row 2. 
UFS filesystems skip the first 8k or 64k in a partition to leave room
for the disklabel header and boot blocks.

Grow RAID array:
_
   |DISK_|
   |MBR|__Slice 1_|__Slice 2|
  |_a_|___b___|__d___|___e__|
  |_/_|   |_/var_|_/usr_|

Run fdisk on da0 and grow slice 2:
_
   |DISK_|
   |MBR|__Slice 1_|___Slice 2|
  |_a_|___b___|__d___|___e__|
  |_/_|   |_/var_|_/usr_|

Run disklabel on da0s2 and grow partition e:
_
   |DISK_|
   |MBR|__Slice 1_|___Slice 2|
  |_a_|___b___|__d___|___e___|
  |_/_|   |_/var_|_/usr__|

Run growfs on da0s2e and grow the filesystem:
_
   |DISK_|
   |MBR|__Slice 1_|___Slice 2|
  |_a_|___b___|__d___|___e___|
  |_/_|   |_/var_|_/usr__|

Re: SCSI Disk not found

2003-12-04 Thread HOLLOW, CHRISTOPHER

I've worked with ProLiant servers and with FreeBSD RAID, but not on the 
same box.  Basically, as I understand it, you should use the Compaq 
SmartStart Array Configuration Utility to create the RAID1 (mirror) 
array.   The array controller will then present the RAID set as one 
logical drive to the OS.  The total logical size will be the size of one 
(1) of the drives.  Using a Promise RAID controller, dmesg listed the 
device ar0 for the logical RAID set and the devices ad4 and ad6 for the 
low-level RAID components.  The ar0 partition is what is carved up and 
installed to.  Hope this helps...

The Compaq Configuration Utility sees the drive.

Just to jump in...after reading the thread you probably have hardware
raid 0 (mirroring) on the system using 2 controllers and 2 drives--the
Compaq cu should tell you what's going on. The OS will see the 2
mirrored drives as one. I'd be careful about changing scsi IDs until you
determine what's going on.

protecting loader

2003-12-04 Thread Dru


Is there a way to prevent a user from bypassing loader and
loading/unloading stuff at the OK prompt? (other than physical security
measures)

I tried placing "/boot/loader -n" in "/boot.config", but it didn't make a
difference.

Re: growfs says 'we are not growing' ?!?!

2003-12-04 Thread Rishi Chopra

Any idea why my partitions (da0s1a, da0s1d, da0s1e) don't have valid 
disk labels?

# disklabel -A da0s1d | more
disklabel: /dev/da0s1d: no valid label found
# disklabel -A da0s1e | more
disklabel: /dev/da0s1e: no valid label found
I created the partitions and mount points when installing the os using 
the standard GUI.

You need to extend your e slice (with disklabel -e da0s1) first. 
You've got three "container" objects: Fdisk slices, BSD partitions, and
filesystem.  You've grown the slice, but you need to also expand the
partition before growfs can resize the filesystem.

Way OT: SSH+VNC as quickndirty VPN

2003-12-04 Thread Goodleaf, John M


Here's the scenario:
I have a Windows machine at work. I have a VNC server on it. It is behind a
firewall over which I have no control, so I cannot make a direct connection
to this machine from outside. What I'd like to do is to initiate a SSH
connection (with compression) to my BSD machine at home (which I can do) and
forward the VNC server connection through that SSH tunnel. I'd like to then
lock my workstation and office, go home, and use vncviewer to have access to
my workstation at work. That way I can do work at odd hours and while
watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Is this possible? I have tried a few combinations of port forwarding, but
for whatever reason, find it unintuitive. Can't quite get it to work. Any
suggestions much appreciated.

It's been a while--but if you're saying you removed the drive that fbsd
sees and you installed on, and the system still boots, then you indeed
have a raid array with 2 drives, ie a mirror. Or you _had_ an array. You
now have a broken mirror. Please post a new dmesg.

Also noticed from your original dmesg:

ccd0-3: Concatenated disk drivers

which I've never used but makes me suspicious. ;-)

iirc compaq 800's have a separate raid configuration utility for
managing a hardware array. Check the HP/Compaq site and you may find it
for d/l.

Hopefully I'm not missing something obvious, but seems to me you've
broken the mirror by removing a drive and will have to rebuild it using
compaq's raid utility. See if you can find it.

RE: Urgent Installation problems (CD) - DON"T HOLD YOUR BREATH

2003-12-04 Thread Thor Anderson

I hope you have better luck than I have, Alvin.

I am experiencing the same problems and received and tested the following 
options - all to no avail.

1)  Update computer BIOS to latest version
2)  Downloaded and tested ISO files from 4.6 to 4.91 from bootable CDs (all 
hang)
3)  Purchased commercial release (5.1) and tested CD (hangs after finding 
boot record)
4)  Purchased USB floppy drive and created floppy boot disks (hang)
5)  Attempted to submit problem report via web (web interface is down)
6)  Attempted to submit problem report via email to the "Bugmeister" 
(unacknowlaged)

In the meantime, additional testing shows:

1)  Installation CDs from Microsoft boot and install properly
2)  Installation CD created from downloaded ISO from the Fedora Project 
installs properly

In my situation, I believe the problem may be related to my computer being 
"legacy free".  What that means is that it does not have the traditional IO 
devices that most computers have (PS/2 keyboard or mouse, serial, parallel, 
or floppy interface.  All it has are USB ports for those functions.  My 
guess is that the kernel included in the installation files was not built 
for this situation.  In the meantime, since I do not have a working FreeBSD 
system, I can not build my own kernal.

When approaching this situation, it was my desire to base my systems on a 
BSD kernel.  Due to it's reputation of stability and (especially) 
compatability, I chose FreeBSD.  Since that time, I have spent over $100, 
many hours of testing, and significant frustration to install it - to no 
avail.  The lack of support (and even responsiveness) from the FreeBSD team 
after putting my money on the line to purchase the commercial release gives 
me grave doubts about the viability of this distribution and the legitimacy 
of the organization's compatability claims..

Good luck - and don't spend any money until it works!

Just a minute. Are you sure that the filesystem was newfs'd with the
default parameters? If it were for me to newfs it, I would probably
choose larger block&fragment sizes, as I would probably be storing large
files. The superblock copy positions depend on the block/frag size. If
you specify parameters different from those used for actually newfs'ing
it the very first time, newfs -N will give you *incorrect* copy
addresses!

Unless I am very much mistaken, the positions reported by newfs should
always be multiplied by the sector size (512), not by the block size. So
what you were doing is ok...

This suggests that something else (looking suspiciously at the
disklabel) is screwed, not the superblocks... I think we'll end up
digging through the hex dump of the beginning of the drive.

I've got a (probably bad) idea. If you say that the partition was
mounted as /data, then you could do a

# hd /dev/ad6s1 |grep /data

It should come up soon (the superblock should be close to the beginning
of the drive, right?). This way you can at least figure out where your
superblock lies (rounding the address of `/data' to 8K). Considering the
above discussion, you can calculate the *correct* address of the `e'
partition by subtracting 8K or 64K or 256K. See if it matches the one in
the disklabel.

Of course, this is all possible only if your superblock isn't screwed
enough to NOT contain `/data'.

This won't find you the copies of the superblock, BTW, as they are not
modified my a mount.

single-user mode

2003-12-04 Thread Dru


It's been a while since I've had to enter single-user mode and I've just
discovered that "boot -s" doesn't work at the "boot" prompt on 5.1-RELEASE.
(however, it does work nicely if I interrupt loader at the next boot
stage).

In fact, I can't get *anything* to work at the "boot" prompt, or even
leave that prompt without doing a CTRL ALT DEL. Am I missing something, or is
the "boot" prompt defunct on 5.x?

You need to extend your e slice (with disklabel -e da0s1) first. 
You've got three "container" objects: Fdisk slices, BSD partitions, and
filesystem.  You've grown the slice, but you need to also expand the
partition before growfs can resize the filesystem.

how to force packets to go out on a specific interface

2003-12-04 Thread Maksim Yevmenkin

Dear Hackers,

is there a way to force packets to go out on a specific interface
based on a source IP address? 

here is what we want: for testing purposes we have a FreeBSD box with
two 100Mbit NICs (em0 and em1). both NICs are on the the same subnet
172.1.1.x/23. both NICs are connected to the ServerIron. the purpose
of the setup is to get 200Mbit link between FreeBSD and ServerIron.

ethernet trunking is NOT an option. it seems ServerIron uses algorithm
that selects physical port in the trunk based on source and destination
IP. IPs do not change during the test, so one NIC gets more traffic then
another (we only have few clients that talk to the FreeBSD box).

so what is really required is: if a process was bound to 172.1.1.1 (em0)
then the packets should go out on em0 and if process was bound to
172.1.1.2 (em1) then packets should go out on em1. we tried ipfw(8)
"forward" and it did not do what we want. Linux can handle this via
"ip route foo bar" thing where we can specify which local source address
should go out on which interface.

one more thing: the solution must be compatible with dummynet(4).

thanks,
max

I am suspecting there is something wrong in my syntax for fetching the
superblocks. I see that the SB size is always 8192 bytes regardless so it
should be 512*16 as in the dd command. And I checked that the #s output by
newfs -N were block positions and not raw byte permissions.

However newfs -N is saying that it is reporting the positions using a
blocksize of 16384. In which case, 160 would mean 160 * 16384 = 2621440
(byte pos). To translate to the 512-byte blocks, this means the skip should
be 5120 (and 12048384 and 24091648 respectively for the 2nd & 3rd sb
positions). However, when I grab 8192-byte chunks using these skip settings
w/ dd, they don't match up either. I was hoping I was onto something. :(

Yet you say using the same # output by newfs -N as the skip for dd worked
for you... hmm.

Intel EtherExpress Pro cards use the fxp(4) driver.  That's standard
in the GENERIC kernel, or if you're using a customized kernel config,
just edit it to include the miibus and fxp devices.  Having obtained a
kernel with appropriate support, power the machine down, put the card
in and reboot.  Check the dmesg output (/var/run/dmesg.boot) to see if
your card has been detected.  Then adjust the network settings by
editing /etc/rc.conf and either reboot or run ifconfig(8) manually to
configure the new network interface.  sysinstall(8) isn't the tool for
thins job.

Cheers,

Matthew

RE: Connection attempt to TCP messages in /var/log/messages

The log-in-vain MIB is an poor mans version of an firewall. When you
enable IPFW or IPFILTER this MIB and the other network security
MIB's become meaningless, as the firewall gets access to the packets
before anything else and drops all packets arriving on ports without
any application listening on the port as technically invalid.  This
subject has been posted to the questions list this week. See subject

Adding a new network card to FreeBSD 5.1

Hi,

Sorry for the last e-mail. I am hoping this one makes more sense. I had 
to replace my old network card, with a new one. The one was Netgear 
F311, the new one is Intel Pro 10/100, but I can't find how to make 
FreeBSD to see it. I have played around with sysinstall, is there a easy 
way to add to my FreeBSD. I am using 5.1

Thanks,

can ping, can't download through firewall

2003-12-04 Thread Garry Hill


hi,

i'm a reasonably experienced linux/bsd user - i've installed a few boxes in my time 
and usually with a good level of success. but this time i'm stumped/jiggered.

i'm trying to set up a freebsd gateway to share my cable modem connection. 

from the gateway itself i can ping the world, from the attached clients i can ping the 
world, i can even do dns lookups. doing:

curl --head http://www.website.com

gives me a good-looking header and everything, but if i do 

lynx http://www.website.com

no joy. i get:

HTTP request sent; waiting for response.

and it stops there. this is true from both the clients and the gateway itself. i just 
can't download anything for all the pings in the world.

my current set up is 

-- kernel config:

options IPFIREWALL
options IPDIVERT 
options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE 
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=10 

-- /etc/rc.conf

gateway_enable="YES"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="OPEN"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface=" rl0"
natd_flags="" 

which are both straight out of the handbook.

-- ipfw -a list
00050 1844 130026 divert 8668 ip from any to any via rl0
00100   96  11166 allow ip from any to any via lo0
002000  0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
003000  0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
65000 2481 200907 allow ip from any to any
655350  0 allow ip from any to any

i've tried the same thing using ipfilter and ipnat instead of natd and ipfw - with the 
same results. 

ethernet cards - a pair of 8139's - rl0 external, rl1 internal. as far as i can tell 
they work fine. on the internal network the pings are 100% - i can ftp ssh the works 
without problem.

i've noticed that if i turn on the firewall my pings to the isp's router are much much 
less reliable, sometimes losing 30%+ of the packets but generally degraded compared to 
the setup with no firewall enabled.

the firewall stats show that everything is passing ok. 

i really don't know what's going on. unfortunately my web searches have turned up 
nothing similar.

does anyone have any ideas/comments/suggestions/experience of the same? is it the 
network cards? pings from the client machine when connected directly work perfectly 
but from the gateway are at best a little dodgy - losing 15% of the packets. is there 
some incompatibility between the network card and the router?

oh, and install is FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE

any help greatly appreciated. it's doin my head in.

Garry

RE: Urgent Installation problems (CD)

The .iso file is an compressed file. If the CD you are trying to
boot from only has a single .iso file then you did not burn the cd
correctly. It should look like an regular data CD with directories,
and sub-directories populated with files. If you can  use FBSD to
mount the CD, and use the cd  [change directory] command to point to
it and then ls command to see the contents, then your boot problem
lies some where else than with the CD disk.

Thank you for your time. I burned the .iso for i386 (release 5.1) on
the CD and configured the BIOS to boot from the CD but it won't boot
from it. I have also tried using the floppy to install it but it
can't detect the .iso in the CD. Are there other files that must be

I have burned BeOS PE Max edition to the CD to test if my computer

Ahh ok, I've learned something new. Guess I misinterpreted the information I

> BTW, what's the output of ``disklabel -r /dev/ad6s1c'' ?

su-2.05b# disklabel -r /dev/ad6s1c

#size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]

partition c: partition extends past end of unit
disklabel: partition c doesn't start at 0!
disklabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system
utilities
partition e: partition extends past end of unit

That doesn't look good.

By the way, the past posts I've read suggest that even if I use fsck_ffs -b
to run fsck with a diff superblock (say, the one at 160) that it doesn't
actually fix the master copy, and that I still need to use dd to fix the
original. The command I've seen used is:

dd if=/dev/ad6s1c skip=32 of=/dev/ad6s1c seek=16 bs=512 count=16

1) Do I just replace the 32 of "skip=32" with 160 (or whichever superblock
makes fsck_ffs -b happy)?

2) I've also read that the size and location of the original superblock can
vary. Do I have to modify the seek/bs/count values to account for this? And
if so, how do I find the proper values?

Nothing done yet... don't wanna screw this up. Thanks everyone!

True.

In fact, when you mess with superblocks, it's messing with filesystems
(thus it's different from messing with disklabels). So I guess you
should use /dev/ad6s1e here. `e' should be the partition, and `c' ---
the whole disk.

> 1) Do I just replace the 32 of "skip=32" with 160 (or whichever superblock
> makes fsck_ffs -b happy)?

Probably yes. The thing is you want to copy some 8192 bytes from one
location to another. But I never had a chance to treat a superblock
that way... Go ask a person who did!

> 2) I've also read that the size and location of the original superblock can

Yes. skip here is the location of the copy, seek is the location of the
superblock (see below for values).

> if so, how do I find the proper values?
> 
> Nothing done yet... don't wanna screw this up. Thanks everyone!

If you want to be more sure, try dd'ing your (suspectedly damaged)
superblock and some of its (suspectedly OK) copies into different files:

# dd if=/dev/ad6s1e skip=... bs=512 count=16 of=somefile

As /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/fs.h suggests, for THE superblock skip should be
16 if you have UFS1 or 128 or 512 if you have UFS2 (if my maths is
correct). These commands shouldn't do anything harmful to /dev/ad6s1e.

Of course, after that, you could hack up a program which will read
superblocks and display them according to their structure defined as
`struct fs' in /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs/fs.h. Let's not do it today, right?

If your superblock copies will appear similar to each other (use cmp(1)
or md5(1)), then you can be sure that you've found the copies (so far
you haven't done any mistakes in your calculations). Then it's up to you
to commit the change.

I've just tried it on a test machine. The copies matched. Hmm:)

MIT krb5, telnetd, PAM, incorrect permissions on forwarded tickets

2003-12-04 Thread Tillman Hodgson

I'm trying over here since I didn't have any luck fishing in ports@ :-)

I've since found the parts of the MIT login.krb5 that chown the
forwarded ticket file. That was nice to know to not really relevent :-)

I understand that there's a race condition when having root chown a file
in /tmp to a user (symlinks being the obvious attack path). There are
ways around that, though, so I don't believe the change that I'm looking
for leads to a security problem if handled carefully.

Howdy folks,

When using the MIT krb5 port (up to date as of a CVSup this morning) on
a recent -STABLE box, there are two ways to enable telnetd in
/etc/inetd.conf:

telnet  stream  tcp nowait  root/usr/libexec/telnetd telnetd -a user
 or
telnet  stream  tcp nowait  root/usr/local/krb5/sbin/telnetd telnetd -a user -L 
/usr/local/krb5/sbin/login.krb5

The first way, according to the man page and to the README.FreeBSD
included in teh krb5 port, uses /usr/bin/login. The second way uses the
MIT login program.

The first way is obviously preferred -- you get login.conf and
login.access that way. However, when using forwarded tickets it creates
them with the wrong permissions (0600 root:wheel) and the user can't
even read their own ticket. If root chown's them to the user manually
the forwarded ticket works correctly.

Naturally, login.krb5 sets the permissions correctly.

Since a simple chown seems like such a simple thing to fix and there's
compelling benefits to using the FreeBSD login, I'd like to start using
/usr/bin/login with my MIT telnetd (it's even the default in the port
;-) ). But finding figuring out just where this should be down has been
non-trivial.

My first instinct (supported by the wording in README.FreeBSD) was to
look in /etc/pam.conf. But PAM doesn't appear to be in play here: I have
pam_krb5.conf commented out and am still able to login in correctly!
Uncommenting pam_krb5 in the PAM stack appears to have no effect.

So my next instinct was that the MIT telnetd was performing the ticket
creation in /tmp itself. That's a much bigger piece of software to read
through -- I'm still digging into it.

Are there any known workarounds for this? Would someone with a bit more
familiarity with the code in question mind taking a look at it?

Thanks,

-T

Urgent Installation problems (CD)

2003-12-04 Thread Alvin

Thank you for your time. I burned the .iso for i386 (release 5.1) on 
the CD and configured the BIOS to boot from the CD but it won't boot 
from it. I have also tried using the floppy to install it but it 
can't detect the .iso in the CD. Are there other files that must be 
burned to the CD.

I have burned BeOS PE Max edition to the CD to test if my computer 
can boot from the CD. It worked perfectly and booted from it.

God bless,
Alvin
