 I've set up a FreeBSD client at our school. The client gets its address

 run lynx if I want to visit web sites. ftp is not blocked, so I can
 download if I need to.

If you need to find your external address quickly, then ssh into this
other machine and look at the variables that ssh sets in your
environment -- I'm assuming that the box you ssh into is running some
variety of OpenSSH. eg:

% env | grep SSH
SSH_CLIENT=81.2.69.219 1483 22
SSH_CONNECTION=81.2.69.219 1483 81.2.69.219 22
SSH_TTY=/dev/ttyp4
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-6kfGMKtW/agent.30744

where you can see I ssh'd from 81.2.69.219 to 81.2.69.219 (yes --
pretty pointless, but this is just for illustration).
 
 For run, I would like to run an ftp server on this client machine. For
 that, I would need to know my real address on the web, but I am not sure
 how to find this info. If I run ifconfig, it tells me the following:
 
   inet addr: 10.0.0.10
   Bcast: 10.0.0.31
   Mask 255.255.255.224

Running an FTP server through a NAT'ing gateway is not going to be a
pleasant experience, even if you were running the NAT gateway on a
FreeBSD box where natd's punch_fw functionality would make things a
great deal easier for you.  FTP is an ancient protocol not designed to
cope with the realities of the modern internet.

You'ld be better off putting a reverse-proxy on your gateway machine.

 A related question...I do realize that my address could change everytime
 I fire up the client machine. I'm wondering if I can deal with that by
 using dyndns? Remember, this would be for an anonymous ftp server, not
 http.

There are several ports in the ports collection that do this sort of
thing -- updating a DNS server when your IP nuber allocation changes
so your registered domains resolve to the right place.  Usually they
work by querying your ADSL router or Cable modem every so often as to
what its IP addresses are.  If the gateway machine supports SNMP, you
might be able to adapt some of those scripts to work using that.  I
can remember off-hand exactly what SNMP oid you need to query to find
out the interface address, but it should work pretty well: mrtg(1)
does that sort of thing against all sorts of hardware.

Matthew

latest security advisory and 5.1R

2004-03-03 Thread Ed Budd

Hi,

Can anyone confirm whether 5.1R is affected by yesterday's
security advisory (FreeBSD-SA-04:04.tcp)? 

On the one hand it says that this affects All FreeBSD releases but on
the other hand only lists STABLE, 5.2, 5.2.1, 4.9 and 4.8 under
corrected. Does this mean it IS affected but not yet fixed on those
versions?

Thanks in advance,

As it says: all FreeBSD releases are affected.  Fixes have been
released for all supported versions of the OS, and detailed in the
advisory.  It's possible that those fixes will be back-ported to older
versions, but you can't afford to assume so.  Besides, you read the

Both FreeBSD and Linux use XFree86 for its X Window environment.  Video card 
compatibility is handled by XFree86.  So, whether you're using Linux or one 
or FreeBSD, it might be good to bookmark the following page:

http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/Status.html

For future purchases, it's also good to know that NVIDIA creates drivers for 
both Linux and FreeBSD.  This has made my purchasing decisions very easy.

The ATI Radeon 9000 does work.  I have the 64mb model and had it 
working correctly in 4.8 Stable and 4.9 release with DRI enabled.

I didn't get a chance to test linux games on it, but the native X11

I also got a Rage 128 AGP working prior to the radeon.

Thanks for the reply.

I think what's confusing me here is that I assumed that 5.1R was
still officially supported and every other advisory up to this one has
been included, like last week's FreeBSD-SA-04:03.jail advisory, for
example. So am I to assume then that as of this week 5.1R is no longer

sshd doesn't starve CPU, I guess; as you reach it through ppp, and ppp
gets slow, sshd does, too.

 I'm the kind of newbie think 11.1% idle cpu time to be free cpu resource, 
 because I don't have idle process. I wish to know why, as there are still

The most frequent cause is that they don't need the CPU so much as

Could you get a USB 2 PCI card?  Presuming the drive and freebsd 
support it, i would think it could make things a bit faster.  USB2 is 
faster than firewire 400 which is what most pcs have.  Apple just

Its  seems  I've done something wrong the first time. When I looked at

Now, is it a bug that will be fixed in a next release or should I just

Re: priority-- curious about cpu resouce share

sshd doesn't starve CPU, I guess; as you reach it through ppp, and ppp
gets slow, sshd does, too.
 

Sounds reasonable:)

Things can hardly be perfect. Now I begin to use mpg123, I used your 
method of rtprio up and su back, very useful to me.

But if mpg123 has higher priority than ppp, sometimes mpg123 decides to 
move to another song, it reloads buffer, starveing ppp and timeouting 
bluetooth device... If mpg123 has equal/lower priority with ppp, they 
struggle for CPU, and that *sounds* bad. Now I adjusted buffer, it works 
so so.

I read the handbook it says no way to limit CPU percentage. It's my 
toy, a old P166M box, I let other people in the office ssh to the box 
with cmp3 console DJ (backended mpg123) to play music, because it has 
good speakers. I use ppp over bluetooth to connect to the box when I'm 
enjoying sun shine outdoor.

The best way seems to buy a new one:)

It sounds like a hostname error. Does Apache know it is answering as
localhost? You may want to double-check your `Listen' and `ServerName'
directives.

A quick test is to try lynx to the local ip address and see what
happens. BTW, did you run `apachectl configtest' prior to starting
Apache? That will help you with any issues, although if it is running, I
am not sure configtest would find it.

To understand the issue, read the man page for mime.types(5), and

Text files are meant to be displayed like that. Easiest answer is to

Does the machine have any type of firewall running?  What error does the
browser give you? Page not found? Connection refused?  Just to be sure
that Apache is listening on port 80, does `sockstat -l4 | grep httpd'
return results that indicate that Aapache is listening?  Is there and
index file at /usr/local/www/data?  Also, remember that once you edit
httpd.conf you must restart or HUP Apache.

I read in the documentation that no mail can be sent to the root account, 
but I thought it said you could have it sent there if you like.
On thing i noticed on my user account is that my ~/.qmail and 
~alias/qmail-henninb
file don't do anything either because when I remove them the mail still gets 
delivered to
my Maildir.

I put entries in them like: ./Maildir/ , but that

how can i get my ~/.qmail or ~alias/qmail-root file working for root and 
postmaster?

Curious sound problem in 5.2.1-R

2004-03-03 Thread Doug Poland

Hello,

I'd like to preface this with the statement that I'm a long-time 4.x user but brand-new
to the 5.x series.  Also, I'm not sure if this belongs on -CURRENT or not, but, here
goes...

I'm trying to get sound working on a Dell Dimension 4600 with the following audio 
device:

pcm0: Intel ICH5 (82801EB) port 0xedc0-0xedff,0xee00-0xeeff mem
0xfeb7f900-0xfeb7f9ff,0xfeb7fa00-0xfeb7fbff irq 3 at device 31.5 on pci0
pcm0: Analog Devices AD1980 AC97 Codec

This dmesg snippet comes from a FreesBIE 5.2 based bootable, live CD (which, BTW, I
think is awesome).  Running FreesBIE 5.2, I've got working sound and dsp devices in
/dev.

Then I installed 5.2.1-RELEASE on this same box, but, the audio device is not found, 
i.e.,
pci0: multimedia, audio at device 31.5 (no driver attached).  Consequently, no sound.

So the question, how do I get the sound chip to be recognized?  Obviously, it's working
on a 5.2-based release from the FreesBIE folks.  I've googled, checked the handbook, 
and
looked at the kernel and /boot/ stuff but to no avail.

Many thanks for your help and a fine OS.

 RAID5 on 3 disks? That's useless.

3 disks is the minimum quantity for RAID5: it's certainly not ideal,
but it is by no means useless.  RAID5 setups can span 3 or more drives

No, I interpreted the handbook (16.2.1 Locating the Correct Device) as meaning

I see nothing wrong here.  %u is an unsigned int, and on x86 systems,
an int is 32 bits.  %llu is a long long unsigned int, and they are 64

 hello
 can you tell me what is the best freebsd version, also stable for web servers.
I guess 4.9 -RELEASE is what you want.

Take a look at the excellent documentation on

Have fun!

problem with thread libraries (+ libmap.conf??)

2004-03-03 Thread Robert Huff


I'm getting:

Fatal error 'Spinlock called when not threaded.' at line 83 in file
/usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_spinlock.c (errno = 0)

for a number of programs.  I though this was supposed to be
fixed by putting:

libc_r.so   libpthread.so
libkse.so   libpthread.so

in /etc/libmap.conf.  Am I correct?
If so - how do I get this to take effect?  Re-run ldconfig?
Reboot the system?

Re: Curious sound problem in 5.2.1-R

2004-03-03 Thread Aaron Peterson

 or alternatively add this to your /boot/loader.conf

 snd_ich_load=YES

 then run kldload snd_ich.ko as root...

 adding to loader.conf makes the proper sound driver load at boot, the
 kldload command loads it from the command line so you don't have to
 reboot.

 Thanks Aaron, that's all I needed to do.  If you don't mind, how does
 a mere mortal determine that the snd_ich.ko is the module for an Intel
 ICH5 82801EB sound chip?

i'm quite sure i figured it out the long way.  However, it was quick and
dirty, and should work on any system I think...

1) I installed, xmms (or any program to play audio I think would work)
2) ran a short shell script as follows:

cd $MODULES_DIRECTORY  # /modules on 4.x and /boot/kernel on 5.x
for f in snd_*; do kldload $f; done #this loads every possible sound module

3) play music with xmms
4) while music is playing execute the following:

cd $MODULES_DIRECTORY
for f in snd_*; do kldunload $f; done #this unloads all snd modules,
however the one in use fails :)

5) kldstat # to view current loaded modules.

I'm sure I could just have looked it up somewhere, but I'm backwards.

mysql in a jail

2004-03-03 Thread doug

I have a system running four jails. MySQL is running in two of the jails and I
am trying to add it to a 3rd jail. Starting the server gets the message:

  040302 19:34:15  mysql started
  040302 19:34:15  Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied
  040302 19:34:15  Do you already have another mysqld server running on socket:
   /tmp/mysql.sock ?
  040302 19:34:15  Aborting
  040302 19:34:15  /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete
  040302 19:34:15  mysqld ended

The new jail was created by copying the file tree from a jail that had the
desired configuration and then doing clean-up as required. In response to the
error I tried configuring mysqld to use a different port and socket file. That
did not fix the problem. I had forgotten the other two mysql's are using port
3306 and /tmp/mysql.sock.

I next removed mysql and its dependencies and reinstalled mysql-server-4.0.16
using pkg_add. I am still getting the same error. At this point I think it is a
jail problem with something I missed in clean-up but I do not know where to look
next.

Having done all this, I recalled in installing the 2nd MySQL jail, it was
necessary to remove and reinstall mysql. In that instance the re-installation
solved the problem.

Thanks for any ideas.

 sorry for bringing up qmail again.

It's OT on freebsd-questions, so I'm replying privately...

 I am able to get my mail sent to my user account henninb, but i can't

Have you read www.lifewithqmail.org?

 I am trying to use qmail with the Maildir protocol.

Maildir is not a protocol, but a different mail storage format (others 
are mbox and /var/spool/mail).

 I read in the documentation that no mail can be sent to the root
 account, but I thought it said you could have it sent there if you
 like. On thing i noticed on my user account is that my ~/.qmail and
 ~alias/qmail-henninb
 file don't do anything either because when I remove them the mail
 still gets delivered to
 my Maildir.

You can *send* mail to root, but it won't be delivered unless you 
arrange for an unprivileged user to pick it up. See below.

 how can i get my ~/.qmail or ~alias/qmail-root file working for root
 and postmaster?

$ echo henninb  /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
$ echo henninb  /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster

should suffice for you. You can safely remove henninb's $HOME/.qmail 
file- if it doesn't exist, mail is delivered to your Maildir (or 
whatever argument to qmail-start is in your startup scripts).

Hmmm... Well, the official word on the subject should be the page at
http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html, and yes, that does imply
that 5.1-R is a supported security fix branch, but a quick check in
CVS shows no patches have been applied to that branch.
 
There are some changes in the affected files in src/sys/netinet/
between RELENG_4_8, RELENG_4_9, RELENG_5_1 and RELENG_5_2, but the
patch applied to 5.2 was quite similar to the one applied to 4.8 or
4.9, so I'd guess that the affected section of code is still there in
the RELENG_5_1 sources.  No idea if you can merge in the changes on
the RELENG_5_2 branch to the RELENG_5_1 branch without modification
though.

You might want to ask on freebsd-security@ if 5.1-R is still a

Re: Help Setting Up .bashrc

2004-03-03 Thread Peter Risdon

Bob Perry wrote:

Hello,

My environment variables indicate SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash and

~/.bashrc for interactive shells and $ENV for non-interactive shells.
I don't have the ~/.bashrc file.  Neither do I have a ~/.bash_profile,
or a ~/.bash_login file.
I also see where the startup files for bash are .profile and .bashrc.
One of the settings in my .profile indicates that ENV=$HOME/.shrc;
export ENV.
I've read where bash will read other files (e.g., .shrc, etc.) when 
it's own
initialization files are not present but I'd like to set up the 
appropriate
bash files anyway.  I've seen examples of the .bashrc file in some text
but was looking for something from within FreeBSD.  I found some
/src/share/skel/dot.* files but none for bash.  Can anyone tell me if 
such
sample files exists and where I might find them?  Do I need really need
them?

Thank you.
Bob Perry
man bash:

When  bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-inter-
  active shell with the --login option, it first reads and 
executes  com-
  mands  from  the file /etc/profile, if that file exists.  After 
reading
  that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and 
~/.profile,
  in  that order, and reads and executes commands from the first 
one that
  exists and is readable.  The --noprofile option may be  used  
when  the
  shell is started to inhibit this behavior.

So the skel/dot.profile is used by bash.

Keyspan USB Serial Adapter on FreeBSD 5.1

2004-03-03 Thread Gilles Celli

Hi,

This is my very first posting on the freebsd-questions mailing list :)

I tried to install a Keyspan USB Serial Adapter model: USA19 on FreeBSD 
5.1.
FreeBSD recognizes it with no problem (/var/log/messages)
kernel: ugen0: Keyspan USA-19 serial adapter, rev 1.00/80.01, addr 2

However trying to open /dev/ugen0 a device (Thermometer) connected on 
the USB Serial port
it says that it can't open it. And yes /dev/ugen0 exists. In fact it's 
a C program which opens /dev/ugen0.

On Linux (kernel 2.4.22) (/dev/ttyUSB0)  it works, but I would like to 
test it also on FreeBSD.

Any tips/tricks are greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Re: Is the handbook no longer installed?

 /usr/doc is the canonical place for the sources, which should get
 installed into /usr/share/doc after a cd /usr/doc;make install.

close to bottom line:

doc is not made with buildworld.  i guess it's off-planet.
or maybe just outta this world.

one needs to

cd /usr/ports/textproc/docproj
make JADETEX=no install   # or portupgrade with the hack in
  # /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
cd /usr/doc
make FORMATS=html install # or whatever your favorite flavor is

except the search link in the first para still does not work.
there is no /search/index.html.

Re: downloading text files from apache

2004-03-03 Thread Peter Risdon

fbsd_user wrote:

I got no info found for man mime.types
 

No, my fingers were ahead of my brain... mime.types(5) is put there by 
cups and refers to its own mime.types file.

Are you saying that if I delete the statement for .txt out of the
/usr/local/etc/apache/mime.types file that apache will
download .txt files?
 

I'm not advocating that. I'm advocating that you understand what this 
will do and why before thinking of doing it, and that in the meantime 
you compress any text files you want to make available for download, so 
they download as .zip, .gz or whatever.

Apache's documentation says of the mime.types file:

This file sets the default list of mappings from filename extensions to 
content types; changing this file is not recommended.
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html#typesconfig)

Note there is an entry for zip files in mime.types with an extension, 
and one for gzipped files without an extension. Both download as you 
want on your computer but will behave slightly differently on some other 
machines. The server and browser are interacting here. It's worth 
learning about it properly before editing a configuration file.

Is there some statement I can add to httpd.conf to over ride
the mime.types file?
 

There's an AddType statement for adding new mime types. That won't help 
you here, though.

Bear in mind that when a browser displays a text file, it _has_ 
downloaded it. If the viewer wants to save it, they can. It's displayed 
to be helpful. Text files can be read and displayed by browsers. 
Changing this will change it everywhere, with everything the server 
does. Are you sure that's what you want?

 it happened to be 5.1. 
 I, a neophyte, assumed it was kosher.
 
 I bought it and installed it on 2 machines  and pretty much ok so far.
 Now I've been reading about the STABLE and CURRENT branches
 and cvsup and all other kinds of keeping up.

Unfortunately, by the time a book with CD gets published and all
the way through the distribution chain to a bookstore, the next
version is likely to be nearly out or already out.  The CD is good
for getting started learning about FreeBSD, but is probably old
enough that you wouldn't want to use that version for a production
server.   

So, you can install it and use cvsup to upgrade everything to the
latest - probably a good learning exercise anyway.   Or, you can
play around with it enough to become familiar and then download
the latest mini-ISO and start over from scratch - also a good learning
exercise.   

 What I want is production boxs with of course bug fix and
 security upgrades, but not needing always the latest app releases.

If you are running production servers, the general word is that
you might still want to stick with 4.xx and 4.9 is the latest
release of the 4.xx branch.   

The 5.xx branch was begun to allow work on some significant and 
non-compatible changes to the system.  (not everything is non-compatible, 
but some things are)  Major development work is being done on the 5.xx 
branch, but the 4.xx branch continues to be upgraded, mostly now with 
bug and security fixes, but occasionaly with improved features.   

This will continue until the 5.xx branch is deemed solid and bullet proof 
as far as they can tell and that the new features are complete and
everything works together.   Then regular development on the 4.x branch
will be discontinued.   _Only_ security fixes and _major_ bug fixes
will be applied to the 4.xx branch.   Development of features, bug
fixes and security fixes will then continue on the 5.xx branch, but
not major non-compatible feature changes.   It will be considered stable
and a new branch - 6.xx will sprout which is just the latest (at that 
time) 5.xx reopened for major changes and renamed a 6.xx branch.  After
that time there will (may) be feature additions to 5.xx, as now with 4.xx,
but those are expected to not introduce non-compatible changes.  Of
course, bug fixes and security fixes will continue to be applied as
they will to all branches that are still being supported.   The 4.xx
branch would be supported for a while in that manner, along with 5.xx.
In a year or two, 4.xx would no longer be supported and no longer
get any fixes although you might be able to still apply some fixes
with a little tinkering.

There are some comments on possible 5.xx flaws in the EMail lists.
Search the archives.   The FreeBSD web site Release notes  etc 
have notes on what new features are available in 5.xx.

The long and short of it is that which one you install right at this
moment should be either 4.9 or 5.2.1 (whether you get there from
scratch or cvsupping) and the choice depends on 
  1: is your production environment critical such that an unexpected
 flaw in the new 5.xx branch would severly hurt you.
  2: Do you really need some feature in 5.2 that is unavailable in 4.xx.

If it is yes to 1 and no to 2, then install 4.9.
If it is no to 1 and no to 2, then it is a coin flip.  Maybe 5.2.1 just
  to get in to the future or 4.9 for ease in installation and configuration.
If it is no to 1 and yes to 2, then install 5.2.1

 I've tried to grok the release engineering and all but I don't get it.
 I'm going to put freeBSD on 2 other machines as well,
 but don't know whether
 to install 4.9, use my 5.1 CD's (and then presumably have to
 go to 5.2 + ??? to keep up?), 5.2   or what.  Not to mention the
 2 already installed.
 
 I want to keep all 4 machines pretty much in synch.
 
 thanks for any clarification i can get on:
 1. which is best production version
 2. what is best essential upkeep mechanism (not so much for apps
but for bug fixes in OS and security fixes/patches on essential stuff
like OpenSsh)
 
 thanks much...

It seems I've run into the 32-bit signed number wall in awk

My totals are maxing out at 2147483648.

Would anyone happen to know whether that's really the case (that awk is
only implemented with 32-bit number capability - unfortunately I don't
have any other awks nearby to verify nor can I find any reference info
that indicates) and/or can suggest a way around it?
   
   Seems to works fine on -current:
   
   $ jot 8 30 | awk '{ print 2^$1 }'
  
  Ah, ok. Same for me on 5.2-RELEASE. More info:
  
  I'm using the printf function in awk but something ain't right:
  
  # jot 4 30 | awk '{ printf(%u\n, 2^$1-1) }'
  2147483648
  
  # jot 4 30 | awk '{ printf(%lu\n, 2^$1-1) }'
  2147483648
  
  # jot 4 30 | awk '{ printf(%llu\n, 2^$1-1) }'
  35186519572480
 
 I see nothing wrong here.  %u is an unsigned int, and on x86 systems,
 an int is 32 bits.  %llu is a long long unsigned int, and they are 64
 bits.  Since there is no way for C to print a number larger than 64
 bits, you won't be able to use the numeric specifiers to print large
 numbers.  You can use %s though.  See
 /usr/src/contrib/one-true-awk/run.c, the format() function.

When you say they are 64 bits you're referring to a long
(signed/unsigned) int (not long long unsigned int)?

In which case aren't there two problems with the results shown?

1 - %u should print values up to 2^32-1

2 - %lu should print values up to 2^64-1

whereas they're both hitting a limit at 2^31.

can you tell me what is the best freebsd version, also stable for web servers.
 

The best is generally the latest.  Confusion
arises because there are two branches
of development, -CURRENT (5.X) and -STABLE
(4.X).
For more information, see the FreeBSD Handbook,
chapter 21.

Re: production box: 4.9, 5.1, 5.2+ ???

2004-03-03 Thread Jerry McAllister

 
 thanks Jerry for this detailed reply.  i really appreciate it.
 
 from what you have said i think 4.9  might  be indicated.
 
 but i have one more question.  device drivers.
 
 i have kind of bleeding edge sound and ethernet cards.
 in fact i've already had to put in an older NIC to get 5.1
 to work as-is.  i haven't tackled the on-motherboard sound
 card problem yet.
 
 but i know freeBSD drivers are kind of behind (compared to windoz)
 so would it be harder to get a bleeding driver for 4.9 than 5.2.1?

Well, actually, FreeBSD is mostly up-to-date on drivers.
But, there are some that are available only in 5.xx.   That is
one of those things that would be a feature only in 5.xx - my 
number 2 question in my discussion.

There are supported hardware lists on the FreeBSD web site.
If you look at the main home page  http://www.freebsd.org/
you will see over on the right two releases listed.   Under each
there is a link for Hardware Notes.   Check those.

When it comes to video cards and mouse, you need to check the XFree86 
web site for those compatibilities.  That is: http://www.xfree86.org/

The file you have by that name has been corrupted somehow and the
ports system is not happy with it. I just checked, and the tarball I
downloaded from sourceforge is identical to the one I used the last
time I updated squirrelmail.  You should end up with:

MD5 (squirrelmail-1.4.2.tar.bz2) = 8d8271c704a9f23d53138a4ceea38fb4

but the ports system will check that automatically for you.
