Hello,

I don't understand the acl and mask support for defaults.

But I have found a way to make them work as I *think*
they should.

Here is an example similar to the one in the link you provided.

# mount
/dev/ad2s1h on /home (ufs, local, soft-updates, acls)

# cd /home
# mkdir cvsroot
# chown cvs:cvs cvsroot
# chmod 2770 cvsroot

# ls -la
drwxrws---   2 cvs  cvs512 Jun 17 23:46 cvsroot/

# umask
22
# touch cvsroot/te
# ls -la cvsroot/te
-rw-r--r--  1 root  cvs  0 Jun 17 23:48 cvsroot/te

# umask 0007 - this turns out to be the solution.
# touch cvsroot/tes
# ls -la cvsroot/tes
-rw-rw  1 root  cvs  0 Jun 18 02:00 cvsroot/tes


Now for the acls part.

# setfacl -d -m u::rwx,m::rwx,g::rwx,o::--- cvsroot/
# getfacl -d cvsroot/
#file:cvsroot/
#owner:1012
#group:1012
user::rwx
group::rwx
mask::rwx
other::---

Ok, so far so good.

# touch cvsroot/test
# getfacl cvsroot/test
#file:cvsroot/test
#owner:0
#group:1012
user::rw-
group::rwx  # effective: rw-
mask::rw-
other::---

Hmmm. Ok, so it didn't make it executable. A good thing.

Add some groups to the default acl on cvsroot/

# setfacl -d -m g:cvsuser:r-x,g:cvsadmin:rwx cvsroot/
# getfacl -d cvsroot/
#file:cvsroot/
#owner:1012
#group:1012
user::rwx
group::rwx
group:cvsuser:r-x
group:cvsadmin:rwx
mask::rwx
other::---

Now the acl entries on cvsroot/ itself:

# setfacl -m g:cvsuser:r-x,g:cvsadmin:rwx cvsroot/
# getfacl cvsroot/
#file:cvsroot/
#owner:1012
#group:1012
user::rwx
group::rwx
group:cvsuser:r-x
group:cvsadmin:rwx
mask::rwx
other::---


What I Want

1. All new files created to be read for cvsuser.
2. New directories to be read/exec for cvsuser.

3. All files created to be read/write for cvsadmin.
4. New directories to be read/write/exec for cvsadmin.

5. The defaults will propagate down the tree so that sub-sub
directories inherit the same permissions.

6. The user and group cvs has full control.
7. Any other users have no permissions.

What I Get

# mkdir cvsroot/dir1
# touch cvsroot/file1
# ls -lad cvsroot/*
drwxrwx---+ 2 root  cvs  512 Jun 18 02:19 cvsroot/dir1/
-rw-rw+ 1 root  cvs0 Jun 18 02:19 cvsroot/file1

Looks OK from that angle. Items 6 and 7 are satisfied.

# getfacl cvsroot/*
#file:cvsroot/dir1
#owner:0
#group:1012
user::rwx
group::rwx
group:cvsuser:r-x
group:cvsadmin:rwx
mask::rwx
other::---

Good. Items 2 and 4 are satisfied.

#file:cvsroot/file1
#owner:0

-rw-rw+ 1 root  cvs0 Jun 18 02:26 cvsroot/dir1/file2

# getfacl -d cvsroot/dir1/dir2/
#file:cvsroot/dir1/dir2/
#owner:0
#group:1012
user::rwx

group:cvsadmin:rwx  # effective: rw-
mask::rw-
other::---

Excellent. Item 5 is satisfied. Those are all my requirements.

This entire discovery process, although nice and tidy above,
was filled with a certain amount of grief. It was only until
I reset the umask to 0007 that things started to work as
expected.

Now this bothers me for two reasons. I don't want my umask
to have to be 0007. What if I'm in a working directory that
doesn't require propagating acls? Then I'm stuck setting my
umask back to something sensible like 0027 before creating
files without extended acl entries. I have a difficult time
remembering little details like that.

Not only that, but I'll have to remember to set it back to
0007 (or maybe , horrors) if I want to use propagating
acls and have them behave as I expect as shown above.

I can easily set a process' umask through cron et al, but how
do I set it for cvs users using the protocol :ext:server:/home/cvsroot
with ssh?

Can anyone explain this further? Thanks.

Mark

P.S. Below is the behaviour that perplexed me earlier.
It is not what I expect and does not meet my

2005-06-18 Thread caleb

Hello,
 I am a doom addict and I just found out that doom is available 
from the ports tree :) I could install doom legacy but needed to 
download the doom.wad file and copy it to the doomlegacy directory. I 
could then run doom with no problems but because it is shareware I could 
not use all the weapons. I really want to be able to get Alien Doom up 
and running but I am not sure which files I need. Is there a full Linux 
version of Alien doom that I could get off the net?

The P-III's are presumably a newer process than the P-II's so they
probably draw about the same amount of power.  That said, the
(presumably) reduced Vcore (and increased current) will increase the
stress on the motherboard Vcore regulator.

If Samuel's suggestions don't pan out, I'd start looking at the
electrolytic capacitors in your PSU and/or motherboard.  After 3-4
years of continuous use, they may be getting marginal - particularly
if any are near heat-producing components.  Replacing the electros
on the motherboard isn't a particularly difficuly task if you have
a decent soldering iron, solder sucker and are used to working on
boards with plated-through holes.

These are my parameters below which definitely work -- or you wouldn't 
be seeing this email :)  I can't see anything obviously wrong with 
yours; what I would suggest is to start with just -dynamic since 
that's the only one that's *required* for this setup to work and see how 
that does.  I can't find your original rules: I assume that a) dc0 *is* 
your external interface (typos are a common source of errors, though I 
don't think that's the case here) b) you have an ifconfig_dc0=DHCP 
line in /etc/rc.conf.


natd_enable=YES   # Natd packet translation
natd_flags=-log -log_denied -dynamic
natd_interface=sis0
ifconfig_sis0=DHCP# External network

At startup I get a message like:

Jun 18 10:38:58 natd[701]: Aliasing to 0.0.0.0, mtu 1500 bytes

just after the firewall rules start up.

The divert rule in my firewall says:

ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via ${natd_interface}

If you have static rules rather than a script then you need 
${natd_interface} to be replaced directly with dc0.


The other things to check, I guess, are that those are the *only* natd 
lines you have:


egrep natd /etc/rc.conf /etc.rc.conf.local

RE: Booting with multiple RAID1 configs

2005-06-18 Thread Steve Bertrand
 You might use loader(8) to set the root device (rootdev 
 variable) explicitly to ar1s1a. Then you should also update 
 fstab to reflect the numbering change.
 I don't know of any way to change the ata numbering scheme.
 Mainboard controllers always seem to be probed (and numbered) 
 first. I think there is no way to get your original raid back 
 to ar0 if you also use your mainboard controllers.

Thank you so, so much.

After trying to mount / to ufs:/dev/ar1s1a at the MountRoot prompt and
it failing, I thought something more serious was the problem, so:

- I added kern.rootdev=/dev/ar1s1a to sysctl.conf
- Changed the / fs in /etc/fstab to point to /dev/ar1s1a

At that point, the system loaded the root filesystem, but since that was
the only one I changed, it errored out mounting the rest (which was
expected).

I simply mounted them manually /dev/ar1s1N to /usr /var and /home,
remounted the / filesystem rw, ee the /etc/fstab and changed all the
mountpoints to ar1, rebooted, and all is well!

I now have 2 RAID1 configs on the same box, and am successfully booting
off of the promise raid properly before the motherboard disks!!

Thanks to all who provided feedback! I hope this situation can help
someone else who wants to boot off of an arbitrary disk before the
motherboard disk in the future!

Then Here Came Freddie on Elm Street ...  since ggv was hosed 
I could NOT cd the /usr/ports/gnome2 and make install .. that
died an early death ..

Finally falling fast onto my sword I did the effort to pkg_add -f -r
for gnome2 .. Now on my fast Sempron 2400, best part of an hour
of ...

pkg_add: package 'xorg-fonts-encodings-6.8.2' conflicts with XFree86-fontEncodin

 You pkg_delete anything that starts with xorg-* and imake. Change

 XFree86.
 
 If you didn't do that when you installed xorg, that could be part of
 your problem.
 
 FWIW, xorg doesn't work well on my FreeBSD-4.x systems. I installed it,
 got tired of not being able to switch between the Spanish keyboard
 layout and English and reinstalled everything that had been built with
 XFree86. I had packages on an almost identical computer, so it wasn't a
 big deal and did a package install of everything.
 
 Other than the layout, it worked just fine, so, you have other problems.

Re: postfix or qmail?

2005-06-18 Thread Volker Kindermann

Hi Luciano,



I've a simple question, postfix or qmail?


the simple answer: both are good.

If you're using sendmail right now, the change to postfix should be easier.

I've heard that postfix is slightly faster when it comes to really 
massive number of emails (less disc-writing) but that shouldn't bother 
you with 300 accounts.



Other thing (perhaps, the one that I interest more your opinion), do anyone 
know why MacOS X Server is using postfix instead of qmail?


Perhaps licensing questions?



(i mean, the latter is far more popular, right?)


I don't think so. Both are heavy-used sendmail-replacements.

From limited experience, Postfix is much better documented and has a

My choice is Postfix.  It's still under active development and isn't hampered 
by bizarre licensing and enormous egos.

Furthermore, Qmail seems to have earned its reputation for security the 
standard DJB way: by implementing only the easy parts of the standard and 
complaining loudly about the hard parts (those are insecure!) until 
everyone quits asking for them.

 Other thing (perhaps, the one that I interest more your opinion), do anyone

All technical debates aside, Qmail isn't F/OSS software.  They couldn't ship 
it without getting a custom license.

which stores its raid config data on disk. This means gmirror takes care of 
which disk belongs to which array. It is able to work independent of any 
controller/channel to disk mapping.

There is a variation on life with qmail - qmailrocks.org. I've been

Although qmail is not being developed, there are some more patches in

 Interesting.  In general Xorg seems to work better.

The problem he is having is that the via xorg driver won't work for
the onboard VIA S3 UniChrome (KM400, CLE266, etc. chipsets). It's (the

Re: Making a custom FreeBSD iso

Im ripping the iso image from the cd with dd

Then, Im mounting the iso image

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /usr/iso-orig/file.iso -u 0

mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /iso

..and copying its contents to disk with cp -R


tar cf - .|(cd /newdir;tar xpf -) would be better and copy all dev's etc

Now, all of the sudden, the /rescue dir grows from 3.5M to 455M so after i 
copy my scripts to the extracted iso filesystem on my hard disk and try to 
make an iso I cannot burn the ISO because its way too big. Can anyone help me 
with this?

 Too late - looks like fedora now uses xorg too.

The only one I can think of right now that uses XFree86 is debian,
knoppix is based on debian. Why on earth does debian 3.1 still use the
2.4 kernel? And here is something I'd never thought I'd say, I

impressed with it that removed the FreeBSD slice, well that and the
fact that grub doesn't do ufs2 and BSD doesn't do Riser, one had to
go. FreeBSD is still number 1 in my book, just not on notebooks.

True.  This will also copy hard links as hard links, which seems to be
bitting the previous poster.  Just using cp(1) is not enough some times:

% gothmog:/tmp/foo$ mkdir src dst
% gothmog:/tmp/foo$ echo hello world  src/0
% gothmog:/tmp/foo$ for linkcount in `jot 100 1 100`; do link src/0 
src/$linkcount; done

% 2   dst
% gothmog:/tmp/foo$ cp -Rp src/* dst/
% gothmog:/tmp/foo$ du -sk src dst

% 204 dst

On the other hand, tar(1) can help a lot:

% gothmog:/tmp/foo$ mkdir dst2
% tar: Error opening archive: Empty input file: Inappropriate file type or 
format
% gothmog:/tmp/foo$ tar -c -C src -f - . | tar -xv -C dst2 -f -

Or just scratch the existing (cp -R) copy of the ISO files and start

Can't mount partitions with soft-updates enabled with async option

2005-06-18 Thread Lefteris Tsintjelis
I am not sure if I do something wrong here or it is suppose to work that
way but the async option doesn't seem to work for partitions that have
soft-updates turned on. Can someone please clarify the difference and if
the speed difference (if any) is significant when using the async option
instead of the soft-updates for cases such as the /usr/obj or as a squid
data storage? Is async preferred over soft-updates when data loss is not
a big issue?

Why would you want to do that?

Soft-updates already provides most of the benefits of an async mount plus some
extra goodies, like never leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.

 Can someone please clarify the difference and if the speed difference
 (if any) is significant when using the async option instead of the
 soft-updates for cases such as the /usr/obj or as a squid data
 storage? Is async preferred over soft-updates when data loss is not a

A speed comparison can be found in The Design and Implementation of the
FreeBSD Operating System.

If I'm reading the relevant text correctly, then filesystems softupdates are
slightly slower than async mounted filesystems and a hell of a lot faster than
synchronous mounts without softupdates.

The speed gain of mounting a squid cache as async shouldn't really be that
big, but the guarantees of avoiding data loss when a filesystem is mounted
with softupdates are too big to ignore :-)

FreeBSD as VMware Guest, need some assist on networking to Host

2005-06-18 Thread harold jones
I have read and re-read all the VMware docs about
setting up BSD as host, but to no avail, simply can
not get networking operational.

Using, VMware 5.00.build 13124
   FreeBSD 5.3.RELEASE #0 (as Guest)
   Win XP Pro 5.1.2600 SP2 (as Host)

On,  Intel Pent II, 264 MHz with 192Mb 

Symptom, ifconfig reports lnc0 device as 
UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST)

from Guest(BSD) to Host(XP) ( Router)
   ping reports sendto: Host is down. 
   ftp hangs with Trying 192.168.1.101

from Host(XP) to Guest(BSD)
   ping actually works!! (to Guest  Router it works)
   ftp reports Could not open connection to the host,
on port 23:  (possibly BSD secure setting?)
 
Inside VMware - Virtual Network Settings

VMnet0(Bridged) Bridged to Linksys Wireless-G PCI
VMnet1(Host Only) A private network shared with host
VMnet8(NAT) Used to share the host's IP address

VMnet0 NO Subnet, NO DHCP
VMnet1 Subnet 192.168.32.0, YES DHCP
VMnet8 Subnet 192.168.52.0, YES DHCP

Automatic Bridge 'NO'

Host Virtual Adapters
VMnet1 Virtual Net Enabled
VMnet8 Virtual Net Enabled

VMware tools is loaded, and does appear to start as
BSD boots up, however, I am unable to perform any
cut/paste functions from Guest to Host.

The VMware docs make no mention of altering any
settings on the host, hence, I've done no changes
within the Win XP Host. (I can see VMnet8 and VMnet1
on the Host(XP) side with ipconfig /all)

I searched through the archives and did not see any
resolutions. There were a few messages which implied,
'use NAT and it just works'.

I have selected NAT as network type. (I've actually
tried bridging and 'host only', still nothing). As a
side note, and possibly related. I receive this
message on the BSD console[IN BOLD] every 5 minutes or
so:
calcru: runtime went backwards from 24173436 usec to
24173430 usec for pid 444 (vmware-guestid) 

This is my first post to this forum, though I usually
like to figure things out for myself, I've been really
struggling with this issue for quite some time. It
would be so great to pull data from the BSD envi
(shell scripting, perl scripting) as I use it mainly
for development. 

Oh! I should mention that I am not in any way a BSD
expert. I prefer it leaps and bounds over Linux, but
my real UNIX experience is with AIX. Although I have a
considerable amount of time in the NeXTStep world
(which I believe to be build on a derivative of BSD's
mach kernel).

At any rate, if the email gods are not angry with me
this message will make it to the forum, and,
hopefully, someone who has already conquered this
issue can shed some light. By the way, if I've somehow
directed this to an incorrect forum, parden me a 1,000
times.

Thanks in advance to all!

cheers, Harold

When modifying my make.conf file did not help me fix the problems  
outlined below in the root of this Thread, I decided to re-CVSup the

So, I figured why not run it again. I did and it bombed on Firefox.  
Any ideas? I checked /usr/ports/UPDATING as well as the Mailing  
Lists. I figured there is an incompatibility with one of the items  
updated in Ports during the last 2 days (since Firefox built just  
fine 2 days ago). The last 100 lines of the error that  
gnome_upgrade told me to print as well as uname are below. Thanks  
for your help.

For improving squid filesystem performance, have you mounted the

Keyboard Configuration:

Option XkbLayout en_US

Possible combinations:

Alt + char
Shift + Alt + char
Shift, Alt + char

Notes:

The Alt to be pressed is the right one.

The string char has to be replaced with a key,
with or without Shift.

Alt + char means to press and hold the Alt key
and then press char.

Shift + Alt + char means to press and hold the
Shift key, press and hold the
Alt key, and press char.

Shift, Alt + char means to press and hold the
Shift key, press and hold the Alt key, release
the Shift key and press char.

Some common characters:

   Shift, Alt + ', char
   Alt + ', char
   Shift + Alt + ', char
   Shift, Alt + `, char
   Shift + Alt + `, char
   Shift + Alt + `, char

the FreeBSD has some serious  other native problems.  Knoppix 3.4 which 
uses XFree86_4 drives this chip just fine.

When I backed FreeBSD 5.4 down to using XFree86 4 vs using X.org at
least I got a screen to paint .. no widgets .. but hires matte.

Is there anyone in FreeBSD land who might help or help me fix this? .. I have

No.  With softupdates, file writes are asynchronous, but writes to
filesystem structures (metadata) are synchronous to prevent filesystem
corruption if the machine crashes.  The async mount option writes both
asynchronously.  You can't use the async mount option on a volume with
softupdates turned on because the two options are mutually exclusive.

keeping ports up to date on two personal machines

2005-06-18 Thread Anthony Philipp
Hello guys,

I just have a quick question. I have two FreeBSD-5.4-p2 machines,
and instead of using cvsup on both machines to keep my ports up to
date could I just rsync /usr/ports/ from the faster machine to the
other one without any issues? I understand I could run a private
cvsup server, but for two machines this seems a little excessive.
Any suggestions or problems with this idea?

Thanks for the advice,

Certainly.  Just make you don't synchronize work/ subdirectories too,
if they contain prebuilt binaries that don't match the setup of the
destination machine.

I tried flushing everything with pfctl -Fa, and then loading the rules with
pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf.  The script in rc.d seems to do the same thing.

After re-loading the rules, pfctl -sr yields:

I've verified the table has actual IP addresses.  It seems to be able to block
new TCP connections.  However, if an IP is connected currently, pf lets that
connection continue; even after flushing the states and sources.  It doesn't
seem to care about ICMP.  I can ping it from the box running pf, and receive
replies.

Am I just missing something obvious here?

3G file burns to -514M file on DVD-R

2005-06-18 Thread Andrew L. Gould
I have a gzip'd database backup file that's 3GB in size.  I used mkisofs 
to create an iso image for burning to a DVD-R.  Both the mkisofs and 
growisofs process appeared to finish successfully; but 'ls -alh' shows 
the resulting file to be -514M in size when the DVD-R is mounted in 
FreeBSD 4.10.  When I mount the dvd in a separate FreeBSD 5.4 system, 
ls -alh results in 'ls: /cdrom/pgdumpall.gz: Value too large to be 
stored in data type'.  I ftp'd the original 3GB file from the FreeBSD 
4.10 system to the FreeBSD 5.4 system.  ls -alh reads the size of the 
original file correctly.

Windows reads the DVD-R and shows the file size correctly.

I've tried recreating the iso image using -r and -l options and burning 
the iso file with and without the -dvd-compat option; but the results 
remain the same.

Any ideas or advice?

Thanks,

Andrew Gould

Re: Can't mount partitions with soft-updates enabled with async option

2005-06-18 Thread Lefteris Tsintjelis
Giorgos Keramidas wrote:
 
 Why would you want to do that?
 
 Soft-updates already provides most of the benefits of an async mount plus some
 extra goodies, like never leaving the filesystem in an inconsistent state.

Kalimera Giorgo,

For boosting io speed to the max it can get. The system is very stable (no
crashes whatsover) and UPS monitored and protected so chances of having an
inconsistent filesystem are very low or am I wrong? (I am refering to an 
async mounted filesystem)

 The speed gain of mounting a squid cache as async shouldn't really be that
 big, but the guarantees of avoiding data loss when a filesystem is mounted
 with softupdates are too big to ignore :-)

Well, that would probably depend on the requests per second but for a pretty
busy squid box (disk cache is already split to a few disks) and to keep things
running even more smooth and optimal, this would probably boost the io
performance further more (if I understood everything right). The reason I am
thinking of switching to async mode is that I am getting some physical io page
faults (very small percentage compared to the requests per second but still)
and I am already using the noatime option with soft-updates of course.

I just updated the ports tree and now there is no
netscape 7 any more!  Why was it taken out of the
ports tree?

Re: keeping ports up to date on two personal machines

 Hello guys,
 
 I just have a quick question. I have two FreeBSD-5.4-p2 machines,
 and instead of using cvsup on both machines to keep my ports up to
 date could I just rsync /usr/ports/ from the faster machine to the
 other one without any issues? I understand I could run a private
 cvsup server, but for two machines this seems a little excessive.
 Any suggestions or problems with this idea?

It would be easier (and faster) to build the stuff on the faster machine
and create packages off it to give to the slower box.

Check out pkg_create -b.

Cheers.

Unmaintained. Multiple security vulnerablities.

ports are removed when their maintainers lose interest, and they
no longer build.

Re: Advice replacing Xorg with XFree86_4 - Nightmare on Elm Street Up_1

 The only one I can think of right now that uses XFree86 is debian,
 knoppix is based on debian. Why on earth does debian 3.1 still use the
 2.4 kernel?

I know this is not a Debian-support forum, but you can select 2.6
kernel in Debian as the very first step of installation (press F1
instead of Enter to find out how).

Yet another RAID Question (YARQ)

2005-06-18 Thread P.U.Kruppa

Hi everbody,

our school has just received a new HP ProLiant and I set up 
FreeBSD 5.4 -RELEASE with a RAID 1 system on it (using ciss 
driver).
Is there any software tool which can show me the state of the two 
SCSI discs (if one is failing or if they are mirrored sorrectly) 
or is it sufficient to watch the little LEDs on the box?


Regards,

Uli.
