I scratched my head about it too and finally wrote a simple script

Re: undelete in FreeBSD?

[Peter]

Hi,

this tip is taken from BSD hacks
book(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0596006799/002-3776521-4670458?v=glance)

Create a Trash Directory


Save deleted files until you're really ready to send them to the bit 
bucket.
One of the first things Unix users learn is that deleted files are 
really, really gone. This is
especially true at the command line where there isn't any Windows-style 
recycling bin to
rummage through should you have a change of heart regarding the fate of 
a removed file.

It's off to the backups! (You do have backups, don't you?)
Fortunately, it is very simple to hack a small script that will send 
removed files to a custom
trash directory. If you've never written a script before, this is an 
excellent exercise in how

easy and useful scripting can be.
Since a script is an executable file, you should place your scripts in a 
directory that is in
your path. Remember, your path is just a list of directories where the 
shell will look for

commands if you don't give them full pathnames. To see your path:
% echo $PATH
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/
local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/dru/bin
In this output, the shell will look for executables in the bin 
subdirectory of dru's home
directory. However, it won't look for executables placed directly in my 
home directory, or

/home/dru. Since bin isn't created by default, I should do that first:
% cd
% mkdir bin
As I create scripts, I'll store them in /home/dru/bin, since I don't 
have permission to store
them anywhere else. Fortunately, no one else has permission to store 
them in my bin

directory, so it's a good match.
The scripts themselves contain at least three lines:
#!/bin/sh
# a comment explaining what the script does
the command to be executed
The first line indicates the type of script by specifying the program to 
use to execute the
script. I've chosen to use a Bourne script because that shell is 
available on all Unix systems.
Your script should also have comments, which start with the # character. 
It's surprising how
forgetful you can be six months down the road, especially if you create 
a lot of scripts. For
this reason, you should also give the script a name that reminds you of 
what it does.
The third and subsequent lines contain the meat of the script: the 
actual command(s) to
execute. This can range from a simple one-liner to a more complex set of 
commands,
variables, and conditions. Fortunately, we can make a trash script in a 
simple one-liner.


Let's start with this variant, which I found as the result of a Google 
search:

% more ~/bin/trash
#!/bin/sh
# script to send removed files to trash directory
mv $1 ~/.trash/
You should recognize the path to the Bourne shell, the comment, and the 
mv command.
Let's take a look at that $1. This is known as a positional parameter 
and specifically refers
to the first parameter of the trash command. Since the mv commands takes 
filenames as

parameters, the command:
mv $1 ~/.trash/
is really saying, mv the first filename, whatever it happens to be, to a 
directory called .trash
in the user's home directory (represented by the shell shortcut of ~). 
This move operation is

our custom recycle.
Before this script can do anything, it must be set as executable:
% chmod +x ~/bin/trash
And I must create that trash directory for it to use:
% mkdir ~/.trash
Note that I've chosen to create a hidden trash directory; any file or 
directory that begins
with the . character is hidden from normal listings. This really only 
reduces clutter, though,
as you can see these files by passing the -a switch to ls. If you also 
include the F switch,

directory names will end with a /:
% ls -aF ~
.cshrc .history .trash/
bin/ images/ myfile
Now comes the neat part of the hack. I want this script to kick in every 
time I use rm. Since
it is the shell that executes commands, I simply need to make my shell 
use the trash

command instead. I do that by adding this line to ~/.cshrc:
alias rm trash
That line basically says: when I type rm, execute trash instead. It 
doesn't matter which
directory I am in. As long as I stay in my shell, it will mv any files I 
try to rm to my hidden

trash directory.
Whenever you create a script, always test it first. I'll start by 
telling my shell to reread its

configuration file:
% source ~/.cshrc
Then, I'll make some test files to remove:
% cd
% mkdir test
% cd test
% touch test1
% rm test1
% ls ~/.trash
test1
Looks like the script is working. However, it has a flaw. Have you 
spotted it yet? If not, try

this:
% touch a aa aaa 
% rm a*
% ls ~/.trash
test1 a
% ls test
aa aaa 
What happened here? I passed the shell more than one parameter. The a* 
was expanded to
a, aa, aaa, and  before trash could execute. Those four parameters 
were then passed
on to the mv command in my script. However, trash passes only the first 
parameter to the
mv command, ignoring the remaining parameters. Fortunately, they weren't

More info about your hardware would help.  Are you unable to boot from the

to boot into FreeBSD after the install completes?  What are the normal

Hi,

tha package build defaults to build with cups printing support. so if you 
use the package, you will always get cups installed as a dependency.
if you want to entirely remove this dependency you have to build this port 
from source.and you need to run make config in the ports directory and 
should deslect the CUPS option.


setting load printers = no in smb.conf should prevent samba from 
acquiring any printers at all and you should not see the error message.

As far as i remember, there is NO printers = no option for smb.conf.
You should run testparm(1) to verify the options used in your smb.conf 
file.

A little exploration of the Makefiles shows this to be false. :-(

In net/samba you have


.if !defined(WITHOUT_CUPS)
WITH_CUPS=  yes
.endif


and



.if defined(WITH_CUPS)
LIB_DEPENDS+=   cups.2:${PORTSDIR}/print/cups-base
CONFIGURE_ENV+= CPPFLAGS=-I${LOCALBASE}/include \
LDFLAGS=-L${LOCALBASE}/lib
.else

and in net/samba3 you have:



OPTIONS+=   CUPSWith CUPS printing support on \


and



.if defined(WITH_CUPS)
LIB_DEPENDS+=   cups.2:${PORTSDIR}/print/cups-base
CONFIGURE_ENV+= CPPFLAGS=-I${LOCALBASE}/include \
LDFLAGS=-L${LOCALBASE}/lib
.else

.endif



So for samba, you just need to make with WITHOUT_CUPS=1 and samba 3 with 
WITH_CUPS=0, either on the make line or through pkgtools.conf (portupgrade).


CUPS support is *not* required for samba to support Unix printing unless 
you need CUPS to support your printer for whatever reason.

I think that's not quite correct.

Where to put scripts ?

[Graham Bentley]

Hi All,

I have a short script for Flexbackup ;

#!/bin/sh
# Backup using Flexbackup
/bin/rm -f /data/IT/Backup_Log/data*
/usr/local/bin/flexbackup -newtape
/usr/local/bin/flexbackup -dir /data
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/sa0 rewind
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/sa0 offline

I put this in /usr/bin/ and made exec

In crontab I put ;

# Flexbackup Nightly Backup Job
0   2   *   *   1-5 root/usr/bin/backup

If I run the script manually at the prompt
it works perfectly and a new log is written
to /data/IT/Backup_Log/ - Great !

(From flexbackup.conf

$logdir = '/data/IT/Backup_Log';   # directory for log files)

If cron runs it, the old log is rm'ed but no new one is written ???

Is it something to do with paths / perms ?

Any help ?

/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/sa0 rewind
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/sa0 offline

I put this in /usr/bin/ and made exec

In crontab I put ;

# Flexbackup Nightly Backup Job
0   2   *   *   1-5 root/usr/bin/backup

If I run the script manually at the prompt
it works perfectly and a new log is written
to /data/IT/Backup_Log/ - Great !

(From flexbackup.conf

$logdir = '/data/IT/Backup_Log';   # directory for log files)

If cron runs it, the old log is rm'ed but no new one is written ???

Is it something to do with paths / perms ?
   



Look into crontab(5). There is a section about the environment settings.
My idea is that flexbackup calls some program w/o full path.
Is flexbackup a shell/perl/* script?
 

I would also ask, why are you putting it in /usr/bin?  Given that your 
script calls things in /usr/local/bin already, there is no advantage I 
can see to polluting /usr/bin.


To test Norbert's hypothesis, take everything except standard 
directories out of your path and then try running your script.


Does the user owning the cronjob receive any mail with suggestive errors?

ETINC BW Manager. Watchdog failover not working

[John Oxley]

I have installed the ETINC BW Shaper software v3.24c and things aren't
working. The problem I am having is if I try and run watchdogd, I get
this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sys/conf# watchdogd failover -i 7 -d
IOCTL: Invalid argument
Checking every 2 seconds
enabling WDT
IOCTL: Invalid argument
enable_wdt:: Invalid argument

Below is a detailed explanation of what I have done.

I am using the ETINC BW Manager on a FreeBSD 4.11 system.  Here is my
uname -a
FreeBSD pluto 4.11-RELEASE-p11 FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p11 #15: Tue Jul 26 
11:25:09 CAT 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/Pluto  i386

The machine is a:
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz (2093.22-MHz 686-class CPU)
with SCSI hard drives, an onboard fxp and onboard em NICs, and I have
bought a 
http://www.etinc.com/product_info.php?products_id=32
for the actual shaping.

The BW software I am using is v3.24c.

I have followed the install docs, not quite to the letter, because I had
to modify the /sys/conf/files from what they said to get the kernel to
compile.  These are my modifications:

   #net/if_ethersubr.coptional ether
   net/if_etherbwmgr.coptional ether
   net/if_etherbwmgr.coptional bw

I am not meant to put the last line there, but if I don't the kernel
compile complains that it can't find the bw device.

I have built the kernel (with my modifications) and the module etbwmgr
loads successfully:
Jul 26 12:50:33 pluto /kernel: ET/BWMGR Driver v3.24c

If I try and load the et_bypass module (which I think is for the gigabit
failover card), i get (link_elf: symbol em_read_ctlext undefined).

I have put 
options  HW_WDOG
into my kernel.

If anyone can give me some pointers as to what to do, please let me
know.

Regards,

-John

Re: PAM debug

 Hello
 we are having problems with PAM authenticating users on LDAP.
 We have FreeBSD 5.3.
 We would like to switch debugging.
 If we put this line in /etc/pam.d/login

 nothing happens.

According to pam_ldap/nss manual page debug does not work with
pam_ldap/nss.  When I debugged my pam_ldap/nss installation I used
log file from OpenLDAP server and tcpdump.  For the first time my
connections were not TLS encrypted, so it was easy to read content
of packets.

In my environment I don't use bindpw and OpenLDAP sever does not
send passwords in any form to clients.  Instead everyone is able
to read all fields from user dn, except his/her password, when
a user tries to login pam_ldap sends password over TLS encrypted
channel to OpenLDAP server.

Does commands like id bill works on a system with ldap_nss?
Have you tried to use ldapsearch to query your LDAP server from
a client machine?  Create syslog-log file for LDAP server (slapd
in case of OpenLDAP) and check it.

By the way how are you going to share user home directories?
One way is to use NFS with quota on a server (on several servers).
I'm not very happy with this solution, because NFS will export
all fs to clients, if somebody break root, then he/she can
gain access to any user home directory.

There is pam_mount, with some modifications it can be build on
FreeBSD 5.x.  Has somebody tried it with Samba?  What are alternatives
for NFS + quota for systems which use pam_ldap?

Are you a glutton for punishment?

You can install it manually, I did it once...never again.

Seriously though, there are so many dependencies that it takes forever to 
get everything set up manually.  With ports you just do a make install 
clean and come back in a few hours (or days depending on how fast your 
machine is)

If you see a short list, instead of the long list then you still
have the OS in image format.  Use Nero or some other ISO
burning software to get the actual CD.

Once you have the CD as it is meant to be used, this might help:
http://www.US-Webmasters.com/FreeBSD/Install/

If you already see the long list, then you have burned the
ISO file correctly.  You need set the BIOS to boot from
the CD.  You might have dig around in there or Google for
better instructions.  Good luck!

Below is a detailed explanation of what I have done.

I am using the ETINC BW Manager on a FreeBSD 4.11 system.  Here is my

11:25:09 CAT 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/Pluto  i386


The machine is a:
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz (2093.22-MHz 686-class CPU)
with SCSI hard drives, an onboard fxp and onboard em NICs, and I have
bought a
http://www.etinc.com/product_info.php?products_id=32
for the actual shaping.

The BW software I am using is v3.24c.

I have followed the install docs, not quite to the letter, because I had
to modify the /sys/conf/files from what they said to get the kernel to
compile.  These are my modifications:

   #net/if_ethersubr.coptional ether
   net/if_etherbwmgr.coptional ether
   net/if_etherbwmgr.coptional bw

I am not meant to put the last line there, but if I don't the kernel
compile complains that it can't find the bw device.


I downloaded their driver, and compiled a new kernel without error.

Here's what I did:

# cd ~glenn
# ftp ftp://ftp.etinc.com/pub/freebsd/freebsd411_bwmgr.tgz
# gzip -d freebsd411_bwmgr.tgz
# tar xf freebsd411_bwmgr.tar
# cd usr/hdlc/dev
# cp if_etherbwmgr.c /sys/net
# cd /sys/net
# emacs files
(added net/if_etherbwmgr.coptional ether)
(commented net/if_ethersubr.c
# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
# GENERIC test
# emacs test
(added options HW_WDOG)
(added options PPP_DEFLATE)
# cd /usr/src
# make KERNCONF=test buildkernel

I don't have one of their cards, so I can't test it, but it did compile 
properly.


What were the errors you saw that prompted you to add the extra line to 
/sys/net/files ?




I have built the kernel (with my modifications) and the module etbwmgr
loads successfully:
Jul 26 12:50:33 pluto /kernel: ET/BWMGR Driver v3.24c


Neither module would load.  It fails with undefined symbols. (deflateInit_ 
for etbwmgr.ko and em_read_ctlext for etbypass.ko)


This looks like the module they supply isn't really compatible with 4.11.

-Glenn



If I try and load the et_bypass module (which I think is for the gigabit
failover card), i get (link_elf: symbol em_read_ctlext undefined).

I have put
options  HW_WDOG
into my kernel.

If anyone can give me some pointers as to what to do, please let me
know.

If you're referring to www/httptunnel, then yes it does. I've personally
used it to push ssh sessions via an authenticated http firewall. It's a
little flakey when the http proxy does something it doesn't like (like
closing the connection - it generally just crashes the hts process), but
it does work. Works fine on cygwin too if you only have a windows

deflateInit_ is clearly part of DEFLATE option,
so you likely didn't build your kernel properly.
You say you don't have their bypass card, so why
do you expect the bypass driver to load? Perhaps
you need patches that you get when you buy a
card?

More curiously, why don't you ask them rather
than us?

Try hitting F12, F10, or F8 as the computer is booting up (with
FreeBSD disk in the CD drive). That will usually give you an option to
boot from CD, depending on what kind of computer you have. Or, go into
bios and set to boot from CD first.

You can download two floppies (kern.flp  mfsroot.flp) from FTP site
where you got the ISOs, or get them off the CD if you can mount that.
Burn to floppies like this (as root):

 dd if=kern.flp of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
 dd if=mfsroot.flp of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

Boot kern.flop and follow instructions, eventually telling it to
get distributions from CD/DVD.

You probably ought to first try this to test your burning of the
CD a bit (use acd0 or cd0):

   mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /mnt
   cd /mnt

sysctl deadmantimer

[scuba]

Hi all,

In the BSD/OS there is a kernel countdown counter that can be used
to reboot the machine in case of lock. It´s called deadmantimer.
I used to put a cron entry to preset this counter every 3 min, so
if it goes to zero the server is rebooted.
In the past it save me some times.

Is there anything like this in Freebsd?

FreeBSD-newbie!

[lars.lindblad]

Hi.

My name is Lars and lives in Sweden. I have finally bought
FreeBSD 5.2 and the handbook from the FreeBSD-mall. That's
great! I've wanted to leave the Windows-world and I have
been testing Linux for a few years.

But I have some problems with my FreeBSD-installation, and I
hope someone here can help me!

Facts: FreeBSD5.2 (feb 2004 version), IBM Thinkpad (laptop
with 300Mhz Intel II, 96Mb RAM and 20Gb HDD.

1. Since I have been used to KDE over the years, I have
decided to continue with that, but it locks up the entire
computer - sometimes when I start KDE, and mostly when I
shut it down.

2. In frustration over KDE-issues I tested Gnome. Quite
pretty Window Manager, but I never got any working keyboard
there. Ideas? And can I run KDE-applications in Gnome? I use
Kstars a lot.

3. In Sweden we have some exciting extra wovels... but the
keymaps never seem to find them. What do I do wrong? What
kind of a keyboard do I have on a Thinkpad anyway?! At some
configurations I've got the  and , but no ~, and of course
the opposite has also happened.

Um... I think that's all for now. Hope someone can help!
Thanks in advance!

Strange bootloader problem

[Jaap Boender]

Hi all,

Well, here's one for the books. I've got a Dell Latitude D610, and yesterday
I upgraded the BIOS to its newest version (A04). This worked nicely, but after
the upgrade, the third stage bootloader won't boot the kernel anymore.

I can get to the boot loader from grub, but then it says 'can't find kernel'
and that's it. If I try a ls it says 'no such file or directory' -
incidentally, the file system itself is okay, if I boot from a fixit CD with
-a and use the hard disk as the root partition, it all works fine.

I've tried installing FreeBSD from scratch on another partition, with the same
result. The only thing that goes wrong is /boot/loader not being able to load
the kernel. Well, that and grub not being able to boot the kernel directly,
but that might very well just be Grub...

So now I'm stumped. Does anyone have any advice? I'm running 5.4-STABLE, just
cvsupped, built and installed an hour ago.

Thanks,

  Jaap Boender

It seems to me, more wise is to use FreeBSD 5.4 in laptop,
because FreeBSD 5.2 was some problems in ACPI. thats problems was
fixed in latest releases.


 1. Since I have been used to KDE over the years, I have
 decided to continue with that, but it locks up the entire
 computer - sometimes when I start KDE, and mostly when I
 shut it down.

Perhaps you should turn off ACPI. First of all try to boot witout
ACPI (I don't remember, but it seems to me this is a second item
in boot menu), if this bring good resalt to you, go to the
/boot/device.hints and add to this file following line:

hint.acpi.0.disable=1


 2. In frustration over KDE-issues I tested Gnome. Quite
 pretty Window Manager, but I never got any working keyboard

I think you don't configure your X properly. Perhaps you may copy
paste your language settings from Linux, which you tested for a
few years. I use WindowMaker and run many KDE and GNOMEs
progrums under it. Moreover, I'm a russian user. This is much
more hard language for localization, then sweden. We have more
then 3 different encodings, more then 2 different input-maps.


 Um... I think that's all for now. Hope someone can help!
 Thanks in advance!

beta 6 usb keyboard issues

[Dennis Olvany]

I attempted to install 6 beta without success. As with earlier versions, the 
default installer does not recognize a usb keyboard. Earlier versions had the 
simple menu, Push 7 for usb keyboard. I don't want to know how to accomplish 
this in freebsd 6, I want it to be intuitive! Why not make it ultra-intuitive 
and support usb keyboards by default? This really needs to be ironed out by 
release time. There has got to be a better way. (Hint: The old way was better.) 
Any replies need to be directly addressed, I do not monitor the list.

fastcgi port fixed but not updated?

[Mike Friedman]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I've recently discovered a problem report for the mod_fastcgi (2.4.2) 
port:  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/79774. The report 
seems to indicate that the port was fixed shortly after the PR was sent 
(May 31), yet I just did a cvsup and the buggy port still shows up.


I have made the fix to my copy of the port and it does work, but why isn't 
the fixed version available via cvsup?  My cvsup log (run just this 
morning) shows that the fastcgi Makefile was checked out, yet its date is 
still early on May 31, apparently just before the fix was done, according 
to the PR.


Anyone know what might be going on?  Since the fastcgi port is called by 
the rt-3.4.2 port (which is my real interest), keeping my fixed version of 
the former around under a different name is not really a good option, in 
case I need to update RT.


Thanks.

Mike

Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse 1.0 not work?

[dmwassman]

Hello all,

I have googled to no avail. I have a Microsoft Wireless USB Intellimouse 1.0. I 
would like to use it on my FreeBSD 5.4 system. It recognizes the mouse but I 
can't get it to work. I have read that some people can get it to work, that 
there is a patch I need to apply to the kernel to get it to work, that the 
first byte sent by the mouse is unknown and that the usm driver is expecting a 
directional bit. Does anyone know if I can use this mouse with FreeBSD? Is 
anyone using this mouse with FreeBSD? And if so, how did you get it to work?

I have tried so far loading the intellimouse driver in sysinstall to no avail ( 
as I expected as it is used for a serial port mouse and moused will not load 
with nothing in the ps/2 port).

Thanks in advanced
David

Since you changed your BIOS, I'm suspecting something fishy with the
BIOS settings for disk geometry, like not LBA or something, but you've
probably already checked the BIOS setup...

Read the boot(8) manpage paragraph starting with However, which
says how to by-pass /boot/loader and maybe try that.

Also, loader(8) manpage has a boot_verbose variable that might help.

Serving passive ftp through ipfilter and ipnat

[brian . barto]

Hi all.
 
I have an freebsd ftp server behind a freebsd firewall. The firewall is
using ipfilter and ipnat. Everything works great except for my ftp service
(have http and smtp too). I am trying to set it up to be passive which i
understand is better for those who connect to my server. The way it stands
right now, users can connect and login, but can't get a directory listing.
They get an error that says Can't build the data connection: no route to
host.
 
I have adjusted the following sysctls to limit the data ports that ftpd
uses:
 
net.inet.ip.portrange.hifirst: 6
net.inet.ip.portrange.hilast: 65000
 
To accomidate this port range I have the following in my ipf.rules:
 
pass out proto tcp all keep state
pass in quick on fxp1 proto tcp from any to any port 6  65000 flags S
keep state
 
My ipnat.rules file contains the following entry to forward port 21 to my
ftp server (X.X.X.X = external ip):
 
rdr fxp1 X.X.X.X/32 port 21 - 192.168.1.2 port 21
 
That's basically all I have set up. I think I need to somehow redirect ports
6 - 65000 to my ftp server to get it to work but I don't know how
without putting in 5000 entries in my ipnat.rules. If that's not it, i'm
lost.
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks,
Brian

Hi Fischer, i test with 5-stable and the same problem, right now
 iam goint to continue with 5.2.1, this one like i say before, really
 works for me and my keyboard, i already test with. Give a try Fischer.
 
I only test 5.4-Release to see the X system, i have running 4.11
 without any problems, but i want to test the 5 stuff.
 
But let see what happend, any information about i let you know
 Fischer see you.
 
   About this problem, yesterday a buy one new keyboard Genius with a
lot of keys on it,  i think 24, i really dont remember, but the case
is that i install again xorg 6.8.2 on a fresh new 5.4 release install,
without any buildworld or kernel, i think thats not really important
to test my X system.
  
   The think is that i let my system instaling xorg from ports,  on my
P2, and this morning went i wake up and the installation finish with
any errors. Them i setup my X system following the Handbook and went i
run the server...

   My keyboard was working with the Xterm, i am really happy, i dont
make to much test on it, because i have to work, but i dont see any
problems, all my keys where display on the X system, today after work,
i will install some Windows Manager and make the last test, if
everything goes great, i will make the buildworld process.

   Fisher after some weeks, i see light, maybe was my standard
   104 keyboard that dosent comunicate very well with the new driver
kbd on xorg 6.8.2, because i was running xorg  6.8.2 on freebsd
5.2.1, but the problem here is that this release is not good, a lot of
ports are broken, this way i invest on one new kbd and try this way,
and is working.
   
  Hope, you already have working xorg 6.8.2.

ipfw: deny traffic between interfaces

[Eric Pretorious]

I'm using FreeBSD 4.10 as a masquerading firewall for three private networks 
and want to restrict traffic between each interface (kind of like VLAN's).

The firewall's interfaces are configured as such:

  sis0  public
  rl0   192.168.1.1
  fxp0  192.168.2.1
  sis1  192.168.4.1

...and ipfw is configured as such:

  00050 134535198660535275  divert 8668 ip from any to any via sis0
  00100 490 81262   allow ip from any to any via lo0
  00200 0   0   deny ip from any to 
127.0.0.0/8
  00300 0   0   deny ip from 
127.0.0.0/8 to any
  65000 2695580217357286222 allow ip from any to any
  65535 0   0   deny ip from any to any

How can I accomplish this with ipfw? (I thought that something like `ipfw add 
400 deny ip from rl0 to not sis0` would do the job but it didn't.)

samba / hard drive issues

[fci]

this box is only going to be running ssh and samba.
I setup three drives, 1 for the OS and 1 for the primary samba share,
and the other to backup the primary nightly.
when I would copy files from the primary to the backup I would get an
error similar to this:
Warning - WRITE_DMA UDMA ICRC error (retry request)

so I did some googling and found disabling DMA might fix it (in
loader.conf I added hw.ata.ata_dma=0)

now I get this error about every 10mins:
inetd[473]: netbios-ns/udp: bind: Address already in use

FreeBSD 6

[Nikolas Britton]

Do I always need to run 'make cleandepend' when rebuilding a kernel,
normally I build my kernels the old school way?

Is it just me or is -O2 now the default for kernel builds? What about
-Os, safe to use?

The kernel build failed when it tired to compile the r128drm device.

Is it safe to run the ULE scheduler instead of the 4BSD scheduler, ULE
is commented out in the default kernel?

Is the new ATA RAID stuff, metadata something, going to be backported
to 5.x? I'm trying setup a RAID 1 mirror with Intel ICH5R / Adaptec
HostRAID but it looks like it's not supported in 5.x

Load much higher after upgrading to 5.4-STABLE

[Benson Wong]

Hi, 

I upgraded from 5.4-STABLE (about 5 months old) to 5.4-STABLE as of
last Sunday. Went through the standard procedure, buildkernel,
buildworld, install kernel, install world, mergemaster, etc.

The system functions normally except now load on the system hovers
around 2.4 average, where it used to be around 0.5. From what I can
tell nothing much has changed. The system works as an NFS server for
Maildirs. It is working normally, and I see no performance problems,
however the load seems to be much higher (graphed with MRTG ever 5
minutes).

Anybody else encounter this? Offer any insights? 

Thanks. 
Ben.

Problem with Opera Plug-ins

[lars]

Hi all,

I can't seem to get Opera to run the Realplayer plug-in on FreeBSD 5.4 Stable.

I have

open-motif-2.2.3_2
opera-8.01.20050615
linux-realplayer-10.0.5

installed.


Following the instructions on:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/audiohelp_nix.shtml

In /usr/X11R6/share/opera/plugins I created following symlinks:

% sudo ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so nphelix.so
% sudo ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.xpt nphelix.xpt

So I have this:

/usr/X11R6/share/opera/plugins% ls -la 


total 378

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  33056 Jul 22 18:42 operaplugincleaner

unfortunately to no avail.




Apparently the line libXThrStub.so.6 = not found (0x0) in

% ldd /usr/X11R6/share/opera/plugins/operamotifwrapper-3
/usr/X11R6/share/opera/plugins/operamotifwrapper-3:

libXp.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libXp.so.6 (0x284b3000)

is the problem.




Googling I found this message:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2005-March/001810.html

[...]

I then did define BuildThreadStubLibrary in FreeBSD.cf and plugger/opera
work (mostly).

Ulrich Spörlein



Searching for FreeBSD.cf I get this:

% locate FreeBSD.cf
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/FreeBSD.cf

/usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server/files/patch-FreeBSD.cf
/usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server-snap/files/patch-FreeBSD.cf

I'm a bit scared of messing up my system, so I'll ask first.
Do I have to rebuild xorg or world or what do I have to do?

Thanks in advance,
lars.

I suspect it is only needed, when You want to rebuild Your custom 
kernel, but haven't deleted
the /usr/src/sys/arch/compile/KERNCONF/ directory, so there is some old 
junk.



Is it just me or is -O2 now the default for kernel builds? What about
-Os, safe to use?

 

So is it for me. But if I specify some CFLAGS, for example -O3 
-march=athlon64, the
building fails, but CFLAGS mustn't affect the kernel compiling process 
afaik. There is
COPTFLAGS for that reason. I've also made a PR about this new, unwanted 
behaviour,

but haven't got any answers so yet.


The kernel build failed when it tired to compile the r128drm device.

It's nice for me. I had a general protection fault, but I can't prove, 
that ULE made that,
I had similar with 4BSD. FreeBSD 6 is quite stable for me when I don't 
use my nve network

interface that has a poor driver.

FreeBSD 6 (which hasn't been released yet, and will change a bit more
before it is) is still very cutting edge.  I would *strongly*
recommend that you follow the -CURRENT mailing list if you're going to
use it.

Yes, and not sure.

With a default kernel?  Try updating your sources again.

See the -CURRENT list archives.  It's gotten fairly stable for a lot

Restarting X server within KDE?

[David Gerard]

Many years ago, I ran fvwm2 under Solaris. It actually had a menu option
set up whereby you could restart the X server without all your X clients
dying.

I really wanted this the other week when KDE went weird on me and the mouse
pointer disappeared. (After only two months! With this sort of
unreliability, open source will never be ready for Joe Consumer.)

How does one restart the X server without it killing all the clients?

Re: fastcgi port fixed but not updated?

[Lowell Gilbert]

Mike Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 I've recently discovered a problem report for the mod_fastcgi (2.4.2)
 port:  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/79774. The
 report seems to indicate that the port was fixed shortly after the PR
 was sent (May 31), yet I just did a cvsup and the buggy port still
 shows up.
 
 I have made the fix to my copy of the port and it does work, but why
 isn't the fixed version available via cvsup?  My cvsup log (run just
 this morning) shows that the fastcgi Makefile was checked out, yet its
 date is still early on May 31, apparently just before the fix was
 done, according to the PR.
 
 Anyone know what might be going on?  Since the fastcgi port is called
 by the rt-3.4.2 port (which is my real interest), keeping my fixed
 version of the former around under a different name is not really a
 good option, in case I need to update RT.

The bug report claims that the install fails.
It works fine for me with the Apache 1.3 port, so I suspect that a
more sophisticated fix would be needed; if the path were hardcoded as
you suggest, the port would *only* work with Apache2.

jail login and replication problems

[Dan Rue]

Greetings, 

I am setting up multiple jails on a machine.  The first jail, everything
works fine.  If I add a user, that user can log in.  If I tar cvzpf the
jail, tar xvzpf to create a new one, some people can log into the new
jail, and some can not.

The user that can log in to the new one was the first user created (me),
but any subsequent users can not log into new jails..  

The symptom is right after accepting the password via ssh, the
connection will just get dropped.  I could not find any good error
messages using ssh..  But if I enable telnet and try to telnet in, I
receive this error in /var/log/messages: 

Jul 26 16:11:46 jail3 login: _secure_path: cannot stat /home/user3/.login_conf: 
Permission denied
Jul 26 16:11:46 jail3 login: _secure_path: cannot stat /etc/login.conf: 
Permission denied
Jul 26 16:11:46 jail3 login: _secure_path: cannot stat /home/user3/.login_conf: 
Permission denied
Jul 26 16:11:46 jail3 login: _secure_path: cannot stat /etc/login.conf: 
Permission denied

The permissions on those files are fine.  

So what would cause that error in jails that have been replicated using
tar, but only to some users?  I'm stumped.. 

Here's my rc.conf exerpt: 

jail_enable=YES
jail_list=jail3
jail_socket_unixiproute_only=NO
jail_sysvipc_allow=YES  # allow shared mem on all jails

jail_jail3_rootdir=/jails/jail3

That's not possible.  More likely is that your fvwm2 menu option simply
restarted fvwm2 itself.  Many window managers have this option plus a
couple other launch twm/blackbox/olwm etc entries to shuffle between
different window managers.  Depending on how you launched KDE, you
might be able to just kill it and restart it.  If you exec it at the
bottom of your .xinitrc though, you would have to have kde reexec
itself (since exiting kde would also exit X).  I don't know if kde has
that option, though.

Re: ipfw: deny traffic between interfaces

I'm not 100% certain of incoming/outgoing packets and the receive  transmit

Re: fastcgi port fixed but not updated?

I've recently discovered a problem report for the mod_fastcgi (2.4.2) 
port:  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/79774. The 
report seems to indicate that the port was fixed shortly after the PR 
was sent (May 31), yet I just did a cvsup and the buggy port still 
shows up.


...

Anyone know what might be going on?  Since the fastcgi port is called 
by the rt-3.4.2 port (which is my real interest), keeping my fixed 
version of the former around under a different name is not really a 
good option, in case I need to update RT.


The bug report claims that the install fails. It works fine for me with 
the Apache 1.3 port, so I suspect that a more sophisticated fix would be 
needed; if the path were hard-coded as you suggest, the port would *only* 
work with Apache2.


Lowell,

I can see your point about the content of the fix.  But the bug report 
does say the following (in the Audit-Trail):


   Port has been updated since this PR has been sent.
   It seems to install flawlessly.

As you say, the one line fix (in 'do-install') would not seem consistent 
with your experience installing fastcgi with Apache 1.3, where you don't 
have the problem.  (I'm installing RT with fastcgi and Apache 2). Just 
looking at the Makefile didn't reveal to me that the fix proposed in the 
bug report wouldn't be appropriate for Apache 1.3.


But my question was motivated by the apparent contradiction between the 
above-quoted statement in the report and the fact that the port wasn't 
actually updated (perhaps for the reason you give).


Meanwhile, I'm left with a mod_fastcgi port that will not install, as 
delivered, with Apache 2.  Yet the RT port depends on the fastcgi port.

shell# cat /dev/urandom

can that executed as root cause any harm to the system?  What if a random 
sequence of `rm *` was generated... would it be executed?


I tried that to fix my terminal and forgot it might cause damage as root, 
even if its just being cat'd to the screen.  I thought I saw some files

Start wpa_supplicant on boot without dhclient

[Ben Jencks]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

It looks like wpa_supplicant is the right way to configure wireless as
of FreeBSD 6. I'd like to start it on boot. However, I can't figure out
how to start it without dhclient also running on boot. Since I don't
always boot near an AP, this isn't appropriate.

If I use
network_interfaces=lo0 ath0
ifconfig_ath0=WPA DHCP
then it starts wpa_supplicant, and immediately starts dhclient as well.

If I take out DHCP
network_interfaces=lo0 ath0
ifconfig_ath0=WPA
then wpa_supplicant doesn't start dhclient when it gets a connection

I can get something close to the right behavior by setting
network_interfaces=lo0
ifconfig_ath0=WPA DHCP
This way, wpa_supplicant doesn't start on boot, but I can start it after
boot with /etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant start ath0 and get the right
behavior. Is there a way to get wpa_supplicant to start on boot, and
only start dhclient as a result of the link-state event, not directly
during boot?

100Mbit network performance - again

[Andrew P.]

Hello all!

I remember being able to reach 11-12Mbytes/s between two Win95
workstations with NE2000 $10 NIC's installed, connected via BNC cable.
I am now able to reach 11-12Mbytes/s between all kinds of Windows
2000/XP machines with all kinds of cheapest 100Mbit ethernet hardware.

But I have never ever exceeded 8-9Mbytes/s between a Windows machine
and a FreeBSD box - _never_. Be it Samba, different ftp/http servers,
different FreeBSD versions (4.x/5.x), with ipfw enabled or disabled,
etc., - the speed always hovers around 7-8Mb/s. I know it's not
critical, I know I should've upgraded to Gigabit hardware long ago,
but is there something wrong?

I tried different linux distros, but they all seem to be even slower. Wazzup?..

Thanks,
Andrew P.

Erm, well 60+Mbytes is no wonder in a Gigabit environment (and it is
too much of a wonder in a FastEthernet one), but I'm interested in
getting 100Mbit hardware to work at full speed.

Thanks for your 2 cents anyway,

Re: cat /dev/urandom

[Michael Beattie]

`cat /dev/urandom` will do just that... it's not also going to run
code from within that output.

 That's a good answer, but what if the command was:

 could /dev/urandom generate arbitrary and potentially executable code?

Re: 100Mbit network performance - again

[Sean Hafeez]

Let me fix my typo here.

I get 60+Mbits out of 100Mbits on a 10/100 network.

The Max SUSTAINED thru-put you will ever see will be around 70Mbits.  
There is an overhead that means that you will only see .7 of the  
theoretical.

Re: 100Mbit network performance - again

[Andrew P.]

You might be right in a sense, but like I said: Windows-to-Windows
file transfers can easily be sustained at 11-12Mbytes/s. That's up to
over 90% of 100Mbit bandwidth. In fact, if you review the theoretical
part of Ethernet and TCP/IP, you'd find that it's very possible.

Hmmm interesting.

if I create a file, test, in the current directory like this:

echo -n ls -al test

Then type `cat test`

I get a directory listing.

Assuming that /dev/urandom generates something like ls -al followed by a 
newline, then it stands to reason that `cat /dev/urandom` will actually 
execute the command ls -al

Why is it that this does not hold true for `cat /dev/urandom` ?

 See the -CURRENT list archives.  It's gotten fairly stable for a lot

long time now, no problems.
 
 
Is the new ATA RAID stuff, metadata something, going to be backported

 Search for messages about that.  SOS@ has discussed it quite a bit, if
 I recall correctly.
 
   One more thing... Will FreeBSD 5.4 kernel modules work under 6.x?
 

Yes I just found that out when I tried to load the Highpoint RAID
driver on FreeBSD 6, the system panics very early in the boot process.
This means that FreeBSD 6 is completely out of the question for this
system and I really did not want to run 6.x anyways, I'm migrating a
production 5.4 server to this new hardware.

What is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and where can I read the discussions about sata RAID
problems? I seem to have two options for this server:
(1) Get the ICH5R / Adaptec HostRAID working with 5.4 (as device ar0, ad4 + ad6)
(2) Find a (cheap) SATA RAID 1 card that is supported by the ar / ata
device in 5.4.

The problem with (2) is that I can't find any cheap (less then $60
USD) SATA RAID 1 cards that will work with device ar. I'm going to
post this problem to a new thread.

 
 
  Sorry! a few more things:
 
  At boot up I get these errors / warnings:
  kenv: unable to get dumpdev
 
 Try setting dumpdev?
 
  no such user: _dhcp, falling back to nobody
 
  I left groups and master.passwd files to deal with later in
  mergemaster and then I manually added the dhcp user to both of those
  files but the system still can't find him.
 
 You rebuilt the password database, right?  You know you can't just
 open up the password file and edit it?

No I did not, how do I regenerate the database? normally I use pw or
vipw when I change that stuff and I've never been asked by mergemaster
to change those files.

Also with mergemaster it seemed like 50% of the 100 or so files that
where changed where just changes to the cvs doc revision /
timestamp... wouldn't it be better to install those files by default
instead of asking the user?

 
  Starting default moused: moused: unable to open /dev/ums0: Device busy

 And if you disable moused?

Not sure, I installed it on one of my home systems and I'm at work.

No doubt about that. Any thoughts about how to make them communicate
more effectively?

Personally, I don't think it's just window buffers. I think the whole
darn TCP/IP stack misconfiguration plus maybe not perfect NIC drivers
are the reason for underperformance. I know that most of the real
mistakes must be on the Windows side, but that's not an excuse for
FreeBSD/Linux to not be at least 99%-Windows-networking-compatible.

Maybe the `` makes it escape from the shell and so it cats the file

cat /dev/urandom

[Bob Johnson]

 
Tue, Jul 26, 2005 at 6:32 PM Matt Juszczak [EMAIL PROTECTED] 


 Hi all,
 
 Quick question.
 
 shell# cat /dev/urandom
 
 can that executed as root cause any harm to the system?  What if a random
 sequence of `rm *` was generated... would it be executed?
 

Not from a virtual terminal.  There may have been an old hardware smart 
terminals that would let you trick it into echoing stuff back through the 
keyboard buffer with the appropriate esc sequence, but emulators for those 
have such functions disabled by default these days, for the obvious reason.  
I'm willing to assume that includes whatever you are using for a terminal 
program.
 
 I tried that to fix my terminal and forgot it might cause damage as root,
 even if its just being cat'd to the screen.  I thought I saw some files
 fly by which would indicate an execution of `ls`

Highly unlikely, unless you are actually using an old hardware terminal, then 
it is still pretty unlikely.

For example:


$ cat test.txt
This is a test file.
test
test
`ls -l /`
test


cat just types the characters out on the screen.  The `ls -l` didn't get 
executed.

 
 Just curious

buildkernel failed

[Wang FreeBSD]

I'm a programmer on Windows but a newbie to FreeBSD.
I installed a new FreeBSD 5.2.1 and want to upgrade to 5-STABLE.
I had try 5.4 and meet the problem too.

When I buildworld meet some problem in libstdc++, can't found
unwind.h. I fixed it by modify the Makefile under libstdc++, set
CXXFLAGS has the same including path with CFLAGS, it's gone further. 
But failed in libgroff again, fixed by same way and make again. It's
report a function declare mkstemp in lib.h conflict with the declare
in stdlib.h.  I modify the lib.h  and a macro definition to
disable declare in stdlib.h.  The problem doesn't solved but becomes
biger and biger.
So I rename /usr/src to /usr/src_bak and get the 5-STABLE source file.
when I buildkernel, it raise error about config.
How can I do? Thank you very much!

 If you had a file with an rm * in it and you cat'd it would it
 execute? ___
   
That's a good answer, but what if the command was:
   
`cat /dev/urandom`
   
could /dev/urandom generate arbitrary and potentially executable
code?
   
I'm curious, too

  Hmmm interesting.
 
  if I create a file, test, in the current directory like this:
 
  echo -n ls -al test
 
  Then type `cat test`
 
  I get a directory listing.
 
  Assuming that /dev/urandom generates something like ls -al followed by
  a newline, then it stands to reason that `cat /dev/urandom` will actually
  execute the command ls -al
 
  Why is it that this does not hold true for `cat /dev/urandom` ?
 
  Still curious

 Huh.  Look at that.  I guess I was wrong.  I wonder why...

 Maybe the `` makes it escape from the shell and so it cats the file
 and then when it comes back to the shell it sees the ls -al and runs
 it.
Yeah, backticks are good for that.

it seems like  /dev/urandom generates mostly ... random ... stuff.  But I 
wonder if there are any safeguards to prevent such a combination from being 
generated.

After reading man 4 random and /usr/src/sys/dev/random/randomdev.c, it seems 
that the output of /dev/urandom is truly random. 

So I guess the only thing that prevents such an occurrence is careful thought 
before you make such a call :)

 Is it just me or is -O2 now the default for kernel builds? What about

 So is it for me. But if I specify some CFLAGS, for example -O3
 -march=athlon64, the
 building fails, but CFLAGS mustn't affect the kernel compiling process
 afaik. There is
 COPTFLAGS for that reason. I've also made a PR about this new, unwanted
 behaviour,
 but haven't got any answers so yet.
 

You are right, COPTCLAGS is for the kernel only. -O3 is not officially
supported for CFLAGS or COPTFLAGS. If you use -O3 for CFLAGS it will
break some ports. Also from my experience using anything higher then
CPUTYPE=p2 will break ports (like gstreamer).

This is what I normally add to my make.conf file:
CPUTYPE=p2
CFLAGS= -Os -pipes
COPTFLAGS= -Os -pipes
#CXXFLAGS= don't remember what I set this too, don't use it a lot.

If I want a port to build with different settings I just tell it to
inline... make CPUTYPE=p4 install clean etc.

As far as -O2 as the default for the kernel... I thought it was more
important to have a small kernel then a faster but fatter one. The
smaller the kernel the more you can put in L1,2, and 3 cache and the
smaller the program the less it needs to hit ram, swap, and hard disk?
isn't this what apple does with their OS-X builds?

Squid. No not Squidward. and FreeBSD

[Derrick MacPherson]

Is there a document about setting up squid, optimization suggestions etc
available somewhere? I've started looking and not come back with much
that's new.

Sure.  It also might produce Hamlet.

Can someone clarify ipfw's in/out/recv/xmit/via concepts?

[Gary W. Swearingen]

I see in another msg that I'm not the only one scratching my head over
the ipfw manpage's explanation of in/out/recv/xmit/via concepts.  I've
spent many hours reading that manpage and working on my rc.firewall
(and it seems to work OK, based on the logging), but I can't figure
out what it's trying to tell me, even with that nice ASCII art.

(I hope your replies will help me get some clarifications into the
manpage.)

Here's a pic of my firewall:

   WANLAN

The manpage says we have incoming and outgoing packets.
In and out of what? NIC or kernel or ipfw or computer?

The manpage describes:
 recv | xmit | via {ifX | if* | ipno | any}

Is my de0 an ifX or an if*?
(exact name or device name)

What would be an example of the other?

Does ipno mean an numerical Internet address?
(It's not mentioned elsewhere in the manpage.)

Does each of my NICs have both of the manpage's xmit and recv
interfaces, or is one an xmit and one a recv for any one packet rule?

If an incoming packet can be associated with an xmit interface, why
can't an outgoing packet be associated with a recv interface?

P.S.

It seems that some people do their blocking of packets
going from LAN to WAN on (so to speak) the LAN interface, some on
the WAN interface, and some on both.  It doesn't seem to make much
difference on a pure firewall, except for rule-writing convenience.
Right?

I suppose it would be best to put blocks everywhere possible
or at least where the packets enter the computer.  Right?

Help!!
