I know this has been brought up a number of times and I doubt that it is the right place to post to or even a right subject to raise, but still. It seems we lack some update system in FreeBSD.

And whenever I want to update the latter one, I think about all the traffic that I'm gonna waste and CPU time to build and my own time to get some distros from one machine to another. I dream about a server running on my main machine, which gets queries from intranet freebsd boxes that want to be updated. The server negotiates with each client and acts as requested: 1.1) fetches a binary package, or 1.2) fetches a source package, or 1.3) finds a binary/source in its cache, and 2) builds a package if needed, and 3) gives binary/source to the client Is that so difficult? C'mon guys, just one step forward to perfection :) Very best wishes, Andrew P. Its doable, providing both boxes have identical CPU's and the port build options on both have the same options. If the CPU's are not identical are you willing to build every thing to the lowest common denominator such as CPUTYPE?=i486 ? If this is the case then really all you have to do is make sure you have a /usr/ports/packages dir on one machine then upgrade portmanager -u. This will put a package for everything upgraded into /usr/ports/packages/All. nfs share /usr/ports/packages/All directory with the other machine and on that one upgrade with something like portupgrade -aP. -Mike Thanks, I'll try to do this via ftp.

Re: IPFILTER and NFS
Matt Juszczak wrote: Howdy, Trying to get IPFILTER and NFS working. A google search didn't show much about my specific issue. With ipfilter working, nfs initially works, until someone tries to login. Then it stops working. With my firewall down on the NFS-CLIENT machine, it works fine. Any ideas? It appears to be an issue with random ports It is, NFS is an RPC service where the RPC deamon is requested to for info on which port mountd binds to. I wrote an howto for diskless clients, www.daemonsecurity.com/pxe/ - here's what to do: Enable nfs in /etc/rc.conf: rpcbind_enable=YES # Run the portmapper service (YES/NO). nfs_server_enable=YES # This host is an NFS server (or NO). mountd_enable=YES # Run mountd (or NO). mountd_flags=-r -p 59 # Force mountd to bind on port 59 As a minimum you need to enable rpcbind, nfsserver and mountd. lockd and statd provides file locking and status monitoring. By default, when mountd starts it binds to some arbitrary port, and rpc is used to discover which, making it imposible to firewall. With option '-p' mountd can be forced to bind to a specific port. Port 59 is assigned to any private file service (see /etc/services). This limits the number of ports relevant to 59, 111 and 2049. You can't force lockd and statd to bind to specific ports (they are alos RPC services) and AFAIK you can't have disk quotas work correctly because of this. AFAIK NFS4 should address these problems, but the NFS4 server is still experimental. Till then, RPC is a security nightmare.

Re: Sound problem ...
Faisal Gillani I do not like the handbook instructions, read my whining bellow. I would recommend following these procedures for configuring your sound card. The instruction in this email are very similar to the handbooks. Do not try to figure out what driver you sound card using form the Hardware Notes go directly to the /boot/loader.conf. 1 If you have added the any sound devices to you kernel configuration remove remove them. Remove the lines device sound device snd_* You may or my not have this in your kernel. If you have not added the sound driver to your kernel the skip to the next step. 2 You can easily look all the available sound drivers in the /boot/loader.conf. (the following list is from 5.3-STABLE, it may not match the drivers on your system) : sound_load=YES # Digital sound subsystem snd_ad1816_load=NO# ad1816 snd_als4000_load=NO # als4000 snd_cmi_load=NO # cmi snd_cs4281_load=NO# cs4281 snd_csa_load=NO # csa snd_ds1_load=NO # ds1 snd_emu10k1_load=NO # Creative Sound Blaster Live snd_es137x_load=NO# es137x snd_ess_load=NO # ess snd_fm801_load=NO # fm801 snd_ich_load=NO # Intel ICH snd_maestro_load=NO # Maestro snd_maestro3_load=NO # Maestro3 snd_mss_load=NO # Mss snd_neomagic_load=NO # Neomagic snd_sb16_load=NO # Sound Blaster 16 snd_sb8_load=NO # Sound Blaster Pro snd_sbc_load=NO # Sbc snd_solo_load=NO # Solo snd_t4dwave_load=NO # t4dwave snd_via8233_load=NO # via8233 snd_via82c686_load=NO # via82c686 snd_vibes_load=NO # vibes snd_driver_load=NO# All sound drivers 2 If you now what driver supports your card you can test the driver by using kldload # kldload snd_drivername You can test to see if your sound card is support by FreeBSD and load all the sound drivers with ( I believe this will work, it has been months since I have done this) #kldload snd_driver This will test all the snd drivers. 3. You will now need to configure your /boot/loader.conf so that the driver will load every time you reboot your computer. Add the following lines to your /boot/loader.conf sound_load=YES snd_sounddriver=YES You can load all the sound driver with snd_driver_load=YES I hope this helps Aaron Siegel My whining attached bellow -- This is one section in the manual I do not like, I found if made configuring the sound card more complicated than it needs to be. To add to being complicated it was hard to determine what driver are available. The hardware notes, http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/hardware-i386.html#AUDIO, is not consistant. It names the drive that support some cards but does give the driver used by other cards. For example, it clearly shows the Advance Asound 100 and 110 uses a sbc driver but the hardware notes does not mention what drive supports the VIA Technologies VT82C686A. There are no man pages written for most of the sound drivers nor are their any references to the to them in the man pages. The only drives listed in the man pages snd_csa(4), snd_gusc(4), and snd_sbc(4). Writing the man pages was no my todo list at one time.

Repairing an inconsistent system
I made a mess of my 5.3 installation. I cvsupped the ports tree, and then tried to get the gtk interface to Ruby to work, and reinstalled the port for gtk20. Firefox and Evolution then stopped working, complaining about missing libraries such as libgtk-x11-2.0.so.400 being absent - they have been replaced by ..so.600. I tried doing ln -s ...600 ... 400, and the result was even worse; the applications ran, but all the text was scrambled. So I copied the original libraries over from another machine, and things SEEM back to normal. But I now have a machine that has libraries that don't match the ports tree. How should I get myself out of this self-inflicted mess?

Which mail server is the best for me?
Gosh could you have picked a harder question? That is like saying Blondes, Brunets or Red Heads? You will have to read up about several MTA¹s and figure out what suites your needs. It will take a good few hours of reading and if you are anything like me with a wife job and three kids then time is precious. So to try and help you get on your way don¹t use sendmail. I am partial to Postfix although with that said I have never used anything else. I did several days worth of reading and Postfix was my choice due to it¹s ease of use, flexibility and security. Ease of Use: If you are only receiving e-mail for FQDN of your box (/etc/rc.conf) then right after you have finished installing Postfix you are ready to go. It uses sensible defaults and is a breeze to work with. At that point you will be using local system accounts and MBOX format. You ought to read about the benefits and drawbacks or both to decide if that is really what you want. MBOX is easy enough to change however changing your logins to use something other then the local /etc/masster.passwd database takes some extra finagling. Again the how toos are a great help. Flexibility Now with that said I am hosting e-mail for several of my web customers. So I wanted to set up a MySQL back end to manage the domains instead of using text files. Security I also wanted to add additional security and installed TLS and SASL. As well as quota¹s so my users don¹t suck up all my disk space. So I took it to the next level and it took quite a bit more time to setup. So if you want a MTA that will be a breeze to setup but can have the flexibility to use more features you can shake a stick at while maintaining the KISS process (Keep it simple stupid). Then Postfix is a good choice. There are A LOT of how too¹s on postfix out on the net. Take a look at the documentation on the postfix website postfix.org. The how too¹s and the postfix documentation are separate pages on their site. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unable to find device node for /dev/ad0s1b in /dev!
I had this same type problem. It appears that FreeBSD and the BIOS did not select the proper geometry for the disk. I tried a different disk on the same system, and I was able to install. Knopptix reported a different geometry than FreeBSD, so I tried setting the geometry to match what Knopptix reported, but, the installation graphical fdisk told me the Knopptix geometry was unrealistic, and set it back to the BIOS geometry. I installed the system on a different drive, and then used the command line fdisk command to partition the disk with the Knopptix geometry.

A google search didn't show much about my specific issue. With ipfilter working, nfs initially works, until someone tries to login. Then it stops working. With my firewall down on the NFS-CLIENT machine, it works fine. Any ideas? It appears to be an issue with random ports It is, NFS is an RPC service where the RPC deamon is requested to for info on which port mountd binds to. I wrote an howto for diskless clients, www.daemonsecurity.com/pxe/ - here's what to do: Enable nfs in /etc/rc.conf: rpcbind_enable=YES # Run the portmapper service (YES/NO). nfs_server_enable=YES # This host is an NFS server (or NO). mountd_enable=YES # Run mountd (or NO). mountd_flags=-r -p 59 # Force mountd to bind on port 59 As a minimum you need to enable rpcbind, nfsserver and mountd. lockd and statd provides file locking and status monitoring. By default, when mountd starts it binds to some arbitrary port, and rpc is used to discover which, making it imposible to firewall. With option '-p' mountd can be forced to bind to a specific port. Port 59 is assigned to any private file service (see /etc/services). This limits the number of ports relevant to 59, 111 and 2049. You can't force lockd and statd to bind to specific ports (they are alos RPC services) and AFAIK you can't have disk quotas work correctly because of this. AFAIK NFS4 should address these problems, but the NFS4 server is still experimental. Till then, RPC is a security nightmare.

RE: question
YES there is something major wrong with the official handbook. The majority of the content is written like the reader already has good understanding of how FreeBSD works. It is not detailed enough for someone who has no previous experience with Unix like operating systems. The referenced Install guide gives clear step by step instructions. It only uses the sysinstall process to lay down the default operating system from cdrom. Then step by step instruction on which /etc conf files need to be edited and with what data needs to be added and why.

New Freebsd Install Guide Available
YES there is something major wrong with the official handbook. The majority of the content is written like the reader already has good understanding of how FreeBSD works. It is not detailed enough for someone who has no previous experience with Unix like operating systems. The referenced Install guide gives clear step by step instructions. It only uses the sysinstall process to lay down the default operating system from cdrom. Then step by step instruction on which /etc conf files need to be edited and with what data needs to be added and why. It completely side steps the many un-documented sysinstall options as functions only necessary for advanced users.

The majority of the content is written like the reader already has good understanding of how FreeBSD works. It is not detailed enough for someone who has no previous experience with Unix like operating systems. You're probably right. The people who write documentation are usually seasoned FreeBSD hackers, and what you say is often true. If you do have more specific suggestiongs, like: ``In chapter 2, section 3, the installation guide mentions partitions without an explanation of what a partition is. We could probably add this paragraph here [ Insert small paragraph of plain text or SGML ] and it would all look a lot better.'' I would be glad to see your posts in freebsd-doc or as problem reports submitted in Gnats. Since I *did* ask explicitly, you can definitely Cc: me too and keep bugging me until I commit the changes :-) The referenced Install guide gives clear step by step instructions. I will definitely give it a look. I have already started reading it, but didn't get a chance to finish it tonight, due to other more urgent stuff. It only uses the sysinstall process to lay down the default operating system from cdrom. Then step by step instruction on which /etc conf files need to be edited and with what data needs to be added and why. For a specific configuration, as far as I have seen. The Handbook should be more general. But we'll get a chance to discuss this once I finish reading the guide. If you were current on the content of the handbook you will see that the handbooks complete section on firewalls has been replaced with the complete firewall section from the Install guide we are talking about. I _am_ current on the firewall chapter. I also dislike some parts of it, but that's a different story. You may recall that I was the first who was opposed to the commit of this new section back when it was committed in Sep 2004, because I consider it lacking too much in the areas of completeness, correctness, and style of writing. My personal opinion doesn't matter though, since others have picked up the ball and fixed a zillion things. I am very grateful to people like Marc Fonvieille, Simon Nielsen, Tom Rhodes, Joehl Dahl, Brad Davis and others who have stepped up and worked on the new firewall chapter. AND if you had accessed the Install guide you would have see that it is available to everyone for download and viewing on their own PC. Please note that I have accessed the guide. I've already read a part of it, and making already progress towards having read it all. My offer to commit changes to the Handbook that incorporate stuff from your guide still stands, so apart from saying my guide is better and holier than yours you're always welcome to submit diffs and/or plain text changes for the Handbook chapter that explains the installation process. :-) Regards, Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Rsync Setup
Hi, I'm trying to get my brain around rsync. What I am trying to do is synchronise 2 directories on different machines. I have an rsync server running on one machine and running it as a client on the other. I have been able to get this setup to work. However, it just syncs the directories on machine A with those on B. If B has a later version of the file on A it gets overwritten with the older version from A. I have done a fair bit of reading on rsync which leads me to believe that it will only work one way. Is this correct? If so, is there any other way of synchronising the 2 directories so that they end up with the latest version of the file(s) from either machine.

You can do this as a batch script on just one of the machines, so you don't get any race conditions. My options are -Cuvaz, but I only sync one way. You should be carefull: if clocks on the servers are out of sync, you may get syncing the wrong way! and you will have problems deleting files, this has to be done both places. If you instead can assing one machine as master and the other as slave, so you only sync one way, then you avoid all these problems.

Webmin - ssh - 4.11
Hello: I just installed Webmin - great program. Q - the telnet/ssh portion does not seem to work properly. It opens an ssh window for me but the window is unresponsive. It is configured for ssh instead of telnet, and I have port 22 open on my router. I am able to ssh into my server using Putty from Windows so my sshd is working fine. Webmin says that it has opened a connection but then just presents me with an unresponsive cursor, no prompts for username or password (maybe Wemin took care of that?) no feedback or response to keystrokes. Has anyone used this feature of Webmin ? had similar problems? Resolved? Extra note - this webmin only seems to have config options up to 4.10 - and therefore I entered that as the version number (for 4.11) - not sure whether that would make a difference?

Adding a default route for a specific NIC
I have a FreeBSD 4.11 server with two NICs -- one has a real IP (bge0) and the other has an internal IP (bge1, 192.168.42.6). The default route for the server (defaultrouter= in rc.conf) is the gateway for the real IP. How can I set a route such that traffic going out on bge1 goes through a different router, even if it's to the outside world? Basically, I have a jailed setup running with a private IP address. On the private network, there is a gateway machine that's setup to NAT the traffic out to the internet. Currently, I cannot get out to the internet from the jail unless I set the default route of the entire server to be my internal NAT gateway. Any ideas?

looking for jail tutorial
Hello, Running 5.3-p6 on a box with two NICs. I'm new to the list and FreeBSD in general. I'm trying to find more documentation on jail(8) than is offered in the man page. (I checked the Handbook but couldn't find anything about jails. Did I miss it?) For instance, the man page says: NOTE: It is important that only appropriate device nodes in devfs be exposed to a jail; access to disk devices in the jail may permit processes in the jail to bypass the jail sandboxing by modifying files outside of the jail. How do I know what the appropriate device nodes are for a given jail? I want to run four jails: two webservers, DNS, mail. After testing, the DNS and email jails will be shutdown and the services moved to separate machines. Also, do I configure identical Hosts files on each? Should the jails be on different subnets for added security or can they all be on the same subnet as the host machine? Any help you can give would be appreciated!

RE: looking for jail tutorial
You should search this lists archives for answers first.
In the list archives I found this.
http://subwiki.honeypot.net/cgi-bin/view/Freebsd/JailAdmin
http://jailnotes.cg.nu/
Does anyone have any bright ideas for good file system layouts
when
running multiple jails?
I won't say they are bright, but the ideas reflected in
this layout are working well for me:
/jails/ Home for most jail related material. Note I do not
backup /jails every night as I do other partitions.
(I do backup /data every night and you'll see below
how I make use of that in a jail.)
/jails is its own partition so if it fills, it will
not cause problems for the host system.
/jails/{jail_X}/
The root for one specific jail. Of course if you
have sets of jails, then /jails/jail_A/{cell_1,cell_2}
and /jails/jail_B/{cell_10,cell_11} where cell_#
is actually the root directory works well for
keeping them well organized.
/jails/etc/rc.d/
Startup scripts (e.g. jail_X.sh) for all jails.
If you augment $local_startup in /etc/rc.conf to
include /jails/etc/rc.d then all the jails will be
started automatically.
/jails/bin/
Jail management scripts.
.../bin/JAIL_CTL.sh A generic start, stop, enter, trace,
ps script. Each jail's startup
script sets a bunch of environment
variables and then calls JAIL_CTL.
.../bin/jail_clone duplicates a jail.
.../bin/jail_ps runs ps for all the processes in
a specific jail.
/jails/var/trace/
Home for kdump traces of jail execution.
/jails/template/
A reference jail that I can clone in a few minutes
time. Much easier then running (make world) every
time I need a new jail.
/data/jails/{jail_X}/
If there is a /data/jails/{jail_X} present, then
it is automatically mounted as /jails/{jail_X}/data
when the jail is started. That way the /data
directory in a jail can be treated separately then
from the rest of the jail.
One caveat if you do this. Multiple jails, each
with their own uid space, will rapidly overlap in
the host's uid space. To avoid this, my jail creation
script hashes the jail's IP address to create a
(relatively) unique starting point for that jail's
uids. That starting uid is placed in the jail's
/etc/adduser.conf as $uid_start. This minimizes the
chances that uids will collide.
/data/jails/{jail_X}/home/
Symlink to /data/home (in the jail of course). If
/data/jails/{jail_X} is mounted on the jail's /data,
then the home partition in the jail is actually
coming from /data of the host and therefore will
be backed up on a regular basis.
/data/jails/{jail_X}/proc/
If it is present, then /proc is mounted on this
directory when a jail is started and unmounted when
it is stopped.
How do I stop /var/log in one the jails from filling up the whole
drive
and affecting the rest without giving each jail it's own
partition?
Is it possible to some how set a quota on how large a particular
directory can get?
About all I can think of is to make a directory, and all its
subordinate directories, owned by a specific user. You can
then have per user quotas.
For the specific example of /var/log, you'd have to set the
user to be root_X. If you then set the user-ID-on-execution
bit (see chmod(1) or chmod(2)) for /var/log so all new files
and directories created under it would also be owned by root_X.
I suspect you'd have to pre-populate your /var/log directory
and chown everything to root_X. If you then change everything
there to have world write permissions then root in the jail
can update the files. Having world write access is a bad
idea, but it's your trade-off to consider.
managing passwd in a jailed env.
Well i have the answer. just ran across the pw
command, and looked it up. guess what i found.
pw -V etcdir
daoh!
pw -V /usr/jail1/etc adduser bubba
daoh, daoh!!
pw -V /usr/jail1/etc usermod bubba -h 0
New password for user bubba:
dd if=/dev/daoh of=/dev/stdout bs=1048576 count=1
so to some up, pw does everything i need to manage
users in a jail, from outside of the jail.
i knew there was something out there to do

Re: Adding a default route for a specific NIC
And one more bit of info that might be helpful to know... The jail I've setup will serve sites on various IP addresses. Since FreeBSD jails by default only allow one IP, I've given the jail an internal IP, and am just forwarding the desired ports on the external IPs into the jail's IP using ipfw. This is all working fine, so the only thing left for me to solve is how to get things in my jail working so that I can make outbound TCP connections.

My rc.conf options are: moused_enable=YES moused_port=/dev/psm0 moused_type=auto moused_flags=-m 2=3 allscreens_flags=-m on -c blink -h 200 clear_tmp_enable=YES hostname=gateway.fbsdbuds.com saver=logo ifconfig_rl0=DHCP ipfilter_enable=YES ipfilter_rules=/etc/ipf.rules ipmon_enable=YES ipmon_flags=-Ds ipnat_enable=YES ipnat_rules=/etc/ipnat.rules ifconfig_rl1=inet 10.0.10.2 netmask 255.255.255.248 gateway_enable=YES I am using ipf.rules and ipnat.rules. I created ipfilter.log in /var/log/ and I added this line to syslog.conf: Local0.* /var/log/ipfilter.log and I added the following line to newsyslog.conf for rotating the log. /var/log/ipfilter.log 600 5 100 $M1D0 J I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I do not get anything in my ipfilter.log.

Brian John writes: Now, if I change it to this (using my secondary DNS server from my DSL modem's 'setup' page): search domain.actdsltmp nameserver 205.171.2.65 ...everything works. Is there a way that I could keep this from changing every time that I reboot my computer? One you've changed resolv.conf, it should stay that way permanently across boots, unless you change it again. Open a command window in Windows and type ipconfig -all. There should be a list of DNS servers somewhere in the output. Put that same list in your resolv.conf file. Alternately, if your ISP has given you a list of one or more DNS servers to use, put those in the resolv.conf file (usually these will both be the same). -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: just got DSL, can't surf or get mail
Brian John writes: I don't think so because it works fine in Windows. Wouldn't it not work in windows if that was the case? I understood that you had changed ISP connections also. If you're using the same connection that Windows used, then it's not the ISP. Based on your other posts, it sounds like it was just a simple DNS problem. -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
