Etherboot: pkg-descr gives wrong instructions !

Re: Installer
Well this thread had been going on pretty long. Some people say for the BSD installer, some throw out flames at it. My personal opinion is, people who want to install and use BSD are expected to rad th documentation and as far as I can remember, the handbook is pretty descriptive about explaining the installation procedure. Unlike Winshit ( read Wind0ze) and Linshit (read Linux) the performance of a BSD box depends a lot on the steps taken and method followed while installation. For example, for using soft updates effectively on your file system, you need to break up the tree in different lables. You can very well put the whole tree just under a single lable / (root) but that would not let the kernel use its maximum potential. For understanding these things some studying of the documentation is required. In a nutshell, a BSD user can't be spoon feeded. Getting to the point of RedHat, Mandrake and a few more installers the poster had mentioned, try running your so called shining, sexy and probably pretty looking GUI installer on an old Pentium I with just 16 MB RAM. You would understand what I am speaking about. On the other hand, I use some throwaway 486s to make up a small cluster to solve my problems and trust me, they work better in terms of raw MFLOP power than even the latest Pentium IVs and Opetrons. I am not denying the fact that any piece of software, however small it might be, always has a good scope of improvement, and the BSD installer is not an exception to the rule. But neverthless it DOES its work and does it pretty fine, atleast I think so. Getting to the point of crudeness of OS installers, do give a shot to install OpenBSD on any kind of platforms. But OpenBSD is still one of the most popular OS among network administrators as far as implementation of packet filters, firewalls, routers (you can go on naming) are concerned. And I believe the FreeBSD installer is much polished than the former.

Re: Updating Literature
Update from 4.X to 5.X is not impossible. And the basic method does not differ from the update of any 4.X to 4.Y system (XY) or 5.X to 5.Y system (XY). But you need to study /usr/src/UPDATING VERY VERY HARD. Also the update is not recommended as the 5.X family uses a new file system called UFS2. UFS2 is much better in terms of performance, fault tolerance and security than UFS. However 5.X family IS backward compatible with UFS. As far as I know there is no method to convert a UFS file system to UFS2 or vice versa. Regards S.

Security patch causes problems (Was How to NOT load AGP)
Hi, I did a little more investigation of the problem with nVidia on 5.2.1-RELEASE-pX where X is higher than 4... It turns out that after hand applying patches, once I apply the msync5.patch that was p9, my nVidia X starts to have problems and lock up. Once I back this out, the machine operates properly. I also ran into problems where programs were coreing on Signal 6's SSH became useless, perl would fall over randomly, etc. This patch was all of 6 new lines, one changed line, but I can swap back and forth and know that this will cause my machine to misbehave/crash.

Automatic Firewall software?
All, This morning, I woke up to find one of my systems under hacker attack (considerable multiple attempts to log in to ftp, ssh, etc., mostly using system accounts). I loaded ipfw and set up a couple of quick rules to block the point of origin. Unfortunately, the address appears to be DHCP'ed, so I expect the hacker will at some point get a new address, and start over. Rather than having to hang over my machine is there any software out there that will monitor logs (e.g. /var/log/messages), parse out failed logins like this, and run an ipfw command to block it? Perhaps something can be done via PAM? An added extra bonus would be if it would unblock after some period of time, in case a legit. user bungles their password, and can't get in (saves the service call). -Brian ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thank you, Christopher, Erik, Paul, Donald, and everyone else that
replied.
Bottom line: due to the fact that I did not know you could install
Perl module's via the ports, I got involved in an area (Perl) which I
am not at all familiar with. In my own defence, I have just searched
the FreeBSD site, the Handbook (and the ports section), and there is
no mention that you can install Perl modules from the ports, instead
of going the CPAN route.
No need to defend yourself. We all learn by asking questions.
I am familiar with the ports, and think very highly of them, but I
have never worked with an application which required an additional
Perl module. But, now I know where to look.
You probably need to know that the CPAN modules are scattered throughout
the ports tree. They're usually found in the area they affect (www,
editors, lang, etc.) depending upon what their function is. To find one
you need, use find or locate and search for p5 or p5-{your modulename}
(like p5-Mail or p5-Mail-Tools.)

Perhaps something can be done via PAM? Yes. Look at the Sentry Tools project at Sourceforge. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sentrytools/) In particular, portsentry will do exactly what you want. It will throw up a temporary rule in ipfw blocking the host. (I say temporary because when you restart ipfw it will go away.) It will also add the host to your /etc/hosts.allow file, blocking it permanently from accessing privileged services. An added extra bonus would be if it would unblock after some period of time, in case a legit. user bungles their password, and can't get in (saves the service call). It won't do that, but you can just run ipfw show and then delete the rule. Then you can add that host to the portsentry.ignore file, and it will never happen again. (Or you can do it proactively if you know the hosts or networks your users will be coming from.) I've been using it for years. Works very well, but be careful. On a large server with lots of activity, you probably want to start by not blocking anything until you're comfortable with your ignore file. I also use logsentry on a number of hosts.

A good trick with Google is to search for: site:freebsd.org your topic of interest which will find all matching pages on any freebsd.org site -- most of which are mailing list messages. On the other hand, see http://freebsd.rambler.ru/ for a very nice searchable interface to an archive of all of the FreeBSD mailing lists.

RE: how do I suppress system messages?
Lynette, System messages print out to the console on tty0 only, by default. If you want to use the console, switch to tty1 or above. Do this by ALT+2(tty1), ALT+3(tty2), etc. When you're in Vi, and syslog prints across the screen, using CTRL+L will re-draw the screen, and remove the syslog messages. If you want to get rid of the messages altogether, look into disabling syslogd, via /etc/rc.conf. (Man syslogd, or check /etc/defaults/rc.conf for syslogd.

changing MTU size for Netgraph pseudo devices
I recently came across the documentation provided at http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/sf/ids/2003-q4/0029.html for implementing the Netgraph Fast-Channel kernel module on FreeBSD systems it works great. One thing that I have not been able to figure out is how to change the mtu on the pseudo device to anything greater than 1500(I want mtu 9000). If I do #ifconfig fec0 mtu 1000 (this works if its any value less than 1500) but, if I do #ifconfig fec0 mtu 9000 (I get the following: ifconfig: ioctl (set mtu): Invalid argument ) I also tried changing the NG_FEC_MTU_Default 1500 line in the ng_fec.h file to NG_FEC_MTU_Default 9000 and then do a build/install new kernel and build/install world. Still have no success. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've also experienced this due to CPU overheating; but it wasn't in the afternoon. An early morning cron job doing backups via tar and scp over a network caused the CPU (which had a dying fan) to overheat and the system shut down as a result, as near as we could tell in post-mortem. BIOS was apparently set to allow it to restart, and loads during the workday never peaked enough to tax the CPU as much as the nightly backup. Something of an interesting detective case (for us).

If everything is not working right, then 5.3 wouldnever be tagged STABLE. This is not Windows. Granted, however I need to make sure that everything works fine in my environment on my hardware with my software. The reason I use FreeBSD is that I trust your release engineering moreso than any other vender (as it were)*, however.. there are still things that could go wrong and I prefer not to find out when a production server heads south or doesn't have the right firmware on the RAID card.. so that's why I lag. Also, at least one piece of hardware is near impossible to upgrade. An old 486/25 that's running Snort, without a cd-rom and a 200M hard drive. 4.10-R uses gcc 2.95 and 5.3 uses gcc 3.4. The binaries compiled with the later are not backward compatble. What about my question about boot strapping? Does that ensure that I could compile the world/kernel of 4.x on 5.3?

stopping sendmail completely
Hi, I wish to stop sendmail from starting during boot up completely since I don't need it. And I found this on the net: By the way, if getting rid of Sendmail is your goal, then sendmail_enable=NONE, while working, is not the best solution. sendmail_enable, like the other sendmail_* knobs, is an rc.sendmail setting, and you can easily disable even loading rc.sendmail by setting the mta_startup_script knob to an empty string (). Does this mean that I only need to add the entry: #-- mta_startup_script= #- in /etc/rc.conf to stop sendmail completely?
