implementing password policies
We need to implement a password policy that does not allow a user to pick a password that is the same as any of their last 4 passwords. Any ideas on how to do this on freebsd? Would this require a custom PAM module or is there already one out there that can do this?

Move a locked file
Hi All: I have a multi-boot 3 unix box I'm toying with. I was using the Debian partition as my main work station for a while... till I broke it. I have some e-mails and addresses on that partition I would like to export to the other partitions, perhaps even create a permanent reference file to share system wide. The main problem I have, beside the fact that, in my lust for UNIX POWER, I keep breaking things:), is that the Evolution files in my mostly-dead Debian partition are locked and resist any attempt to move them. Any thoughts on gaining access to these files to copy or move them? BTW I'm thinking of using Knoppix as my recovery tool, and the boot error on Debian is: Enter runlevel 5 ID 1 respawning too fast; waite for five minute. ID 2 respawning too fast; waite for five minute. ID 3 respawning too fast; waite for five minute. ID 4 respawning too fast; waite for five minute. ID 5 respawning too fast; waite for five minute.

Internal Network -- Gateway Internet link 1 |__ Internet link 2 Internal network uses private IP space All computers on internal network connect to gateway with VPN (gateway has mpd running) assigned IPs are also private space, gateway does NAT. There are 2 classes of users on Internal network They are assigned VPN IPs from two different private networks (like 10.0.1.x and 10.0.2.x) The problem is that traffic from 10.0.1.x should be NATed and send via Internet link 1, while traffic from 10.0.2.x should be NATed and send via Internet link 2.

Configuring Samba for Printing on WinXP Machine
Hi, I recently went through all of this with a Windows 2000 machine; I ended up doing it using Samba and CUPS. Apparently there are ways to do it using lpd and apsfilter, but I think using CUPS is the cleanest solution. Configuring Samba won't be too bad if you're only going to be accessing other shares, rather than setting up shares on the FreeBSD box. In that case, not very much configuration is needed; only the smbclient and smbspool programs (these are the client programs that access other shares). Get familiar with SWAT; it's a real nice tool and makes configuring Samba mostly painless. Using SWAT, you can change the workgroup name that you want the FreeBSD box to access, and the NetBIOS name of the FreeBSD box. Note that if you do want to set up Samba shares on your FreeBSD box, you'll need to set Encrypt Passwords to yes and use smbpasswd to maintain Samba's set of username/passwords that allow Windows users to access the FreeBSD shares. First, make sure it works by generating a file that is ready to be sent direct to your printer. By that I mean a file in your printer's native raster format. You can do this using ghostscript and a postscript file (or, if your printer is already postscript, you can just send the postscript file directly). Use smbclient to do this. If it works, then your Samba configuration is good enough. Next, you will need to create a symlink to the smbspool program in /usr/local/libexec/backend (this is where CUPS keeps all of the transport programs it uses to deliver jobs to the printers). Once this is done, use the CUPS tools to add a Windows network printer using Samba. It will ask for the name of the printer, and prompt you with smb:. This is the name of the printer share. In my experience you will also need to provide a username/password to CUPS in the name; this is the user account which all the printing will be done under. I used the Guest account so that I wouldn't have my password in a file (albeit an unreadable file). In any case then the full name you will have to put here is something like smb://username:password@Windows machine name/printer share name (Type smbclient -L Windows machine name to find all the available shares on this machine, using the -U option if your username is different on the FreeBSD and Windows boxes.) From there you should be scot free from the parts concerning Samba. Potential gotchas: 1) if your printer is not natively supported by CUPS' drivers, you can use foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine to generate a driver for your printer. Follow the documentation on www.linuxprinting.org to get the printing going in this scenario; note you will need to install the foomatic-rip script yourself (I couldn't find it in ports). 2) If you set up shares on your FreeBSD box, make sure you don't have LDAP support enabled when you compile. I did by accident and it kept me from administering the Samba password file. Another neat printing solution I found online, using only lpd, is outlined on this website: http://www.freebsddiary.org/samba.php It involves printing to a dummy fifo, then using smbspool to send the contents of the fifo to the printer.

The journalling file system saga
Ladies and Gents, The lack of a journalling file system for FreeBSD has been discussed over and over on the mailing lists. I have read and understood all the advocacy for softupdates and background fsck. Softupdates gives great performance benefits. Background fsck is useful, but with seriously degraded performance until it completes. I had to build a storage system this week with a capacity of 1.6TB. Regrettfully I decided to use Linux with XFS as the thought of waiting for fsck to complete in the event of a problem makes me wince. I experimented with FreeBSD, using two 800GB partitions and things like that, but in the end it comes back to the fsck if for any reason the machine goes down uncleanly. I am a big advocate of FreeBSD. I have great reliability on our 60+ FreeBSD machines. I'm ignoring all suggestions for UPSs and the like. I know all about that. That's not the point. The crux is FreeBSD needs a journalling file system, preferably IMHO based on UFS which we are all used to. Solaris has logging. It works fine for everything we use it for. It's a mount option, for those who don't know about it. In other words I can turn it on off. If I've had to turn away from FreeBSD for this requirement, I can imagine many other people will have too. There's talk of XFS and Reiserfs ports and this and that, the legal issues of GPL code, blah blah blah. I see that Wasabi provide (sell) a journalling file system that builds on the established and trusted Berkeley Unix Filesystem [1]. I have no idea of the cost. The point is, it can be done. Let's look at the reality of getting a journalling file system into FreeBSD. What would it cost to commission someone who knows enough about file systems (preferably UFS IMHO) to write the code? Would anyone be prepared to contribute to a fund to get this done? How long would it take? Is anyone remotely interested in this? I would propose that those who put up the money get to decide how the journalling would be implemented. No ticket, no laundry Is anyone remotely interested in this?

Unfortunately, this will only work with ext2/3 Linux slice (e.g. ReiserFS is not supported by FreeBSD). If it's indeed an ext2/3 partition, you can mount it with the following command (you should not write to Linux slices from FreeBSD in order to prevent data corruption, so the disk is mounted read-only). # mount_ext2fs -o ro /dev/adNsS /mnt/linux You can determine N (the device number of the hard drive) with the following command: # dmesg | grep ^ad To find out the right slice S, run the following: # fdisk /dev/adN Now you have all the ingredients, so something like # mount_ext2fs -o ro /dev/ad2s1 /mnt/linux will probably work for you.

Re: wine
Greetings! Well I think I will add my 2 cents to Wine Gaming thread. I have succesfully played Diablo2 under Wine, including network games, untill last Wine release, with it D2 will just hang while starting to play first Blizzard trailer. :-( Also I was trying to make MU Online working under Wine but without luck. First dialog appears for less than 0.1 sec and then wine just quits silently. Well MU is very resource consuming bastard and needs 3D, but I would like to know why exactly it won't start. MU is @ www.muonline.com for those who want to try (it is MMORPG beta) I hate I have to use bro's Windoze to play it.

Re: wine
Problem is not quality of fbsd. Problem is that you have to emulate proprietary Windoz (with proprietary DirectX) to run games, because that game wasnt released for *nix. This is about number of installations and about attitude of game developers. And to be honest, would you develop some game for fbsd/linux if u know there will be maybe 10k copies sold ? Fortunately I'm playing Enemy Territory now and it is available under FreeBSD :-). Enemy territory runs with linux emulation on freebsd. Its certainly not ported to freebsd. I've tried it on 5 current and compared the results to running in linux and windows. There is a definite performance gap in freebsd. I assume its because there is no native binary. The linux version under redhat 9 gives me a better framerate than any other os. Its a shame we can't get native games for freebsd. Of course, i am happy with linux ports. A fault of the open source community is not encouraging companies to use open source game frameworks. It would make ports to non windows platforms easier. I actually run three operating systems at home FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Windows XP. The lack of porting effects me on my mac and pc. Sadly, UNIX/Linux users and Mac users rarely work together on these issues even though they effect both groups. Think about it, blizzard games are ported to Mac OS but not linux or unix. Enemy territory was ported to linux but not mac os. I've even heard rumors that Doom 3 won't be ported to anything... just windows builds. :( Lucas Holt [EMAIL PROTECTED] FoolishGames.com (Jewel Fan Site) JustJournal.com (Free blogging) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If login.conf settings work on the console then sshd is the problem. Otherwise, it's the login.conf stuff itself which is at fault. sshd(8) defaults to trying it's own key based authentication and then backing off to the standard PAM system to do user authentication -- see the ChallengResponseAuthentication entry in sshd_config(5). At the moment the default value of the relevant bit in /etc/pam.conf (4.x -- not sure what 5.x uses) is: sshdaccount requiredpam_unix.so and if you check the source code for the pam_sm_acct_mgmt() function of pam_unix.so in /usr/src/lib/libpam/modules/pam_unix/pam_unix.c you can see that the login.conf settings are checked when the session is authenticated using Unix passwords. OTOH if you're using ssh keys it doesn't seem to check that way.

Re: Is it Possible to shrink a FBSD Partition?
Hello Is there any easy way to shrink a freebsd partition? When I created the slice (I think it is called) I used the complete drive. In general, no. I need some space to create another partition and do not wish to reinstall FBSD. This machine has been up and running for sometime and to do a reinstall would be a big pain. You are pretty much limited to making a backup of each file system separately and then redoing the drive partitioning and then restoring the backups. I have tried partition majic then reading some info online it does not look like it can handle the job. Partition Magic only works on slices and not FreeBSD partitions. If you mean that you want to shrink a slice, then still you will need to make backups and then redo the slices and then rebuild the FreBSD partitions and then restore each file system in to the new partitions. jerry I am running 4.8 Stable. Any info would be great.

Re: mount_msdosfs anomaly
Aloha I have a 80 gig hard drive that I have sliced up for multiple distros of linux and freebsd. I have win98 on slice 1 and freebsd on slice 2. On slice 10 I have a 2.7 Gig slice formatted as fat32 for data sharing between all distros. When logged into frebsd (5.2.1) i can mount the win98 slice with mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s1 /win98 without any trouble. When I attempt to mount slice 10 with mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s10 /shared I get the following error: mount_msdosfs: /dev/ad0s10: invalid argument. Slice 10 was formatted in win98 and scan disk was run. I have a text file and two jpeg photos in the slice. Only 4 primary slices are recognized. FreeBSD will not talk to a slice 10 and I don't think anything MS will either in a standard manner.

Help interpreting Kernel (gdb) Debug output
I'm having a kernel crash on a regular basis, but don't know how to interpret the gdb output. Any help would be much, much appreciated as I have a deadline fast approaching to colocate this box. what version of FreeBSD? Running: FreeBSD 4_9 what error message comes to the screen when it panics? I don't know because it usually happens between 3:03 AM and 4:40 AM EST. I am sleeping at this time. ;-) does the panic occur regularly (when I run this it fails, fail once in a while, etc)? Yes, it seems to happen every day or every other day at the times stated above. I've reinstalled the OS at least 10 times, doing the same process each time, so I think it has something to do with my install process. There are no CRON jobs scheduled at the times it happens so I don't believe it's program related. any hardware issues flaky RAM/powersupply, non-terminate SCSI bus or heat problems that could be the problem? Running high-quality Kingston ECC RAM (2 GB) with a 4 GB swap, three seagate scsi-raid drives in raid-5 on an adaptec 2100s controller, tyan dual-xeon mobo with two CPUs, everything is top of the line. Heat is not an issue, I have extremely good airflow in the box (15 fans total). The case is a 4u rackmount, power supply is high quality 500w, and all scsi devices are terminated properly. I am co-locating this box as soon as I can figure this problem out. do you have GDB compiled into the kernel?

process management Q
Hello, I'd like to post a question concerning process management. My issue is that, I had a background process running that uses a GUI for debugging purposes through-out last night. Going back to the terminal, I noticed that the pc would not startup. Action keys where not responding, and performed a hard reboot. When going back to my session, the bg processes where still running, yet the GUI that performs the debug actions closed after the hard reboot. Since the bg process is still running ... is there a way to restart the GUI? I am using wdb as my GUI for the batch interface. Any assistance would help me. Thank you __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

USB problems
Hi :) I'm running FreeBSD-5.2.1-p5 and I'm having a problem with USB. Basically, I have 2 USB ports on my box: - on one there's a USB2 harddrive (running in USB1.1 compat mode; I did not compile ehci into the kernel because I was having kernel panic on boot) - on the other, there's an USB hub connected (with 3 devices connected to the hub) After some time (usually around 12 to 24h), the devices on the USB hub are not accessible anymore and I have to unplugg then replugg the hub power switch again for the devices to work. This does _not_ happen when I unplugg the USB harddrive (I unplugged it for like a week and had no problem). Note that _all_ my devices have a power switch. So my questions would be: - do you know where this problem could come from ? - do you have any idea how I could maybe send some data to the USB port to keep it alive ? Thanks in advance.

RE: Cross building ports
After installing the port on your build box go ahead and run the make package on the /usr/port/portname directory. The resulting package will be in that directory. Copy it to your other i386 box and pkg_add pgkname and it will work. I have even done it with newer FBSD operation system version on build box and the created pkg ran fine on production box with older FBSD version. But never did it between major versions 5.x build box to 4.x production box. I would say since the buildworld works for your amd64 world the packages should be ok also. Give it an try to verify. I normally only use pkg_add -r from the FBSD site. Only do port install when I need non-standard config of package.

hi everybody, i recently switched from linux to freebsd, so this question might sound a little stupid the problem i removed 2 users from my system by deleting their entries in /etc/passwd and /etc/group (they had their own group and where in no other groups) the users are still able to login after i deleted them the rmuser command now does not remove them anymore because it cannot find their entries in /etc/passwd, cause as mentioned i deleted them from their the handbook lists all actions that are taken, when the rmuser command is executed and i did all actions manually except the deletion of the home directories of those users, because i want to keep them how can i remove those users completely? and is there something like a /etc/shadow file? You said you did what rmuser does manually. I presume that means that you did not use rmuser directly. So, what did you use to delete the entry from the /etc/passwd file? As you have guessed, there is a 'shadow' file (which is called master.passwd). There is also a password database (pwd.db). If you edit /etc/passwd directly, then neither master.passwd nor pwd.db will be correctly updated. So, you need to use a utility called 'vipw'. It is just like using vi. type vipw, do your editing - remove the line from the file - and write/quit to get out. When you leave vipw with a write, it will automatically update master.passwd and pwd.db for you. jerry please cc me on the answer as i am not in the list Oh, you should be.

RE: vinum State Down Help?
i don't think you want to vinum a swap partition. you can just create the swap partitions and add them to fstab( or if you run /stand/sysinstall to do the disklabel, it'll populate fstab for you), the OS will nicely share amongst all your swap partitions. and if you only have one drive, why are you using vinum at all? am i missing something?

Bootable USB Jumpdrive
Quick question for anyone that might have any input on the subject.. I am attempting to make my Lexar Jumpdrive 2.0 Pro 256 Mb USB drive bootable.. I attempted just a minimal installation on it from a CD boot, and then installed to /dev/da0 .. set a bootable slice, and swap partition, performed the installation successfully, and reboot. No such luck.. the system will not boot from the drive. I have no trouble with other O.S.'s booting from the jumpdrive, and of course the system BIOS is set to boot from this device. I was just curious if anyone has any feedback on this scenario.

Re: mount_msdosfs anomaly
Aloha I first used a win98 boot disk to set slice 1(partition 1) a 5 Gig for my win98 slice. After installing win98, I used the freebsd 5.2.1 CD to set up the freebsd slice 2 at 20 Gig. OK. I haven't had time (or a spare machine) to play with 5.xxx yet. After installing freebsd I used Slackware 9.1 CD and the cfdisk program on it to partition the rest of the disk. Slice/partition3 is a primary. Slice 4 is extended with logical slices/partitions 5 through 10. I installed Slackware on slice 8 with a linux swap on slice 9 and a 2.7Gig fat32 on slice 10. Well, that (using Slackware and being logical partitions within an extended ) explains some things about how you got those slices. I believe FreeBSD is quite limited in its ability to talk to MS extended partitions. Here is the output of ls -l /dev/ad* First time I have seen slice numbers that high.

Re: The journalling file system saga
Hello, I had to build a storage system this week with a capacity of 1.6TB. Regrettfully I decided to use Linux with XFS as the thought of waiting for fsck to complete in the event of a problem makes me wince. I experimented with FreeBSD, using two 800GB partitions and things like that, but in the end it comes back to the fsck if for any reason the machine goes down uncleanly. I share your reaction to the thought of fsck-after-crash, though I have come to appreciate softupdates lately after an obscene amount of googling. IMO the primary advantage to soft updates compared to journaling is that it allows good performance without write caching, since write operations can be deferred. The good part about this is that one can achieve good performance with write caching disabled on the drive/RAID, while journaling will be either slower with write caching turned off, or unsafe with it turned on. The question is whether that applies to data aswell as meta-data. I have not yet found any information as to whether soft updates guarantees the order of non-meta data (or: Is it safe to run PostgreSQL with soft updates?). If anyone reading this has a clue, I'd love to hear it. Unfortunately there are problems with soft updates, for me as a user. One problem is degraded performance with bgfsck, that you have already mentioned. Another problem is that bgfsck seems to be unsupported on the root filesystem (something which I am trying to fix, but it's going slowly due to lack of knowledge of FreeBSD aswell as lack of time). Yet another problem is that an fsync() no longer guarantees that data is on disk, even with write caching disabled on the media. This doesn't break things like PostgreSQL provided that the order of writes is preserved, but it does break things like MTA:s that want to guarantee that critical data has been commited to persistent storage before signaling success to an external entity (SMTP client). A very big issue is that soft updates addresses multiple problems - but it's an all-or-nothing choice. I can get good performance running safely (in some circumstances) by using soft updates, but if I need safety for an MTA I need to turn it off. But turning soft updates off does not only have the effect of decreasing performance, it *ALSO* creates the need for a full fsck after an unclean shutdown. But what if I need safety *AND* do not wish to have a 30 minute boot-up time? (Or in your case with 1.6 TB, I would imagine that's a LOT more than just 30 minutes...) A good solution might be to support *both* some kind of journaling/logging and soft updates. But to me that is still just a work-around for a broken foundation. I believe the fundamental problem lies in the ambiguity of fsync(). The same syscall is used to achieve different effects. A database like PostgreSQL with write-ahead logging (WAL) is concerned with making sure certain data is written before additional modifications are made (though see below). So it uses fsynch() to make sure everything is written before proceeding - thus causing a degredation in performance. But then comes qmail which needs to guarantee the data in question is *on disk*, and also uses fsynch(). This time the intended effect is specifically the goal of synch(). In the former case the intended effect was an implicit side-effect. PostgreSQL can be honored in terms of avoiding corruption (but not in terms of guaranteeing a transaction is commited to persistent storage when it returns) by softupdates provided that both meta-data and all other data is guaranteed to be written in the correct order (though again I don't know if this is the case). But qmail is not served by this. A filesystem that fulfills the requirements of qmail would also fulfill the requirements of PostgreSQL - but it would also unnecessarily decrease performance. Is anyone remotely interested in this? Yes, for the reasons mentioned below, and strictly for practical personal use because I'd love to be able to share data between FreeBSD and Linux ;) -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Configuring For Internet Access Using Router
I tried sending the following message yesterday, but I believe it got lost somehow. In any event, it never was relayed by freebsd-questions. So here I go again. I am having a problem getting my system properly configured. I have three computers - 2 are WinXP Pro and one Free BSD. They are connected via a hub and then to a Net Gear RT311 Gateway Router. This is then connected to a cable modem. If I run my system with it configured as the files listed below show, then it seems to works alright. However, that is not the way the router manual says to do it. The manual wants th OS to obtain an IP automatically. The IP address of the PC is between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.31 The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 The default gateway is 192.168.0.1 If I disable the lines in the dhclient.conf file and reboot, my system will no longer make an Internet connection. Running nslookup will fail as well. Neither of my two WinXP boxes exhibits this phenomena. Perhaps someone can assist me with this . Also, when I access my router, it does not show a host name, although it does for the other two computers, It lists the IP as 192.168.0.4 as well as it's MAC address. Why is it not displaying a host name? It should, shouldn't it.

Re: USB problems
After some time (usually around 12 to 24h), the devices on the USB hub are not accessible anymore and I have to unplugg then replugg the hub power switch again for the devices to work. This does _not_ happen when I unplugg the USB harddrive (I unplugged it for like a week and had no problem). How does your Wired memory behave during the time of intensive USB traffic? If my bet is right, you're suffering from the usb driver memory leak as outlined in these PRs: originally in the 4.x branch: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=31659 and still not solved in the 5.x branch: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=66324 Andre __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: USB problems
Selon andre post [EMAIL PROTECTED]: How does your Wired memory behave during the time of intensive USB traffic? Well, when scanning for exemple, it starts at 112M Wired up to 114M Wired... so I guess this is ok.

perl pause or wait

Problem is the newsyslog rotate has not completed creating the new .0 and rolling through the other .x files before the first perl script in trying to open the .0 file for processing. Is there in perl pause or wait command I can use to allow some time to elapse before continuing with the launch of the next script?

Ah thanks! I was under the distinct impression that was not the case. This is indeed good news. I can now rest easy running PostgreSQL without disabling soft updates. Perhaps a document would be in order describing/detailing all the details such as this about soft updates, all in one place. What I know I have mostly gathered by reading papers and random mailinglist postings about certain specifics. Is there such a thing in existence?
