RE: Security warning with sshd
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 This is due to a mis-configured firewall. If you are using IPFW there are many tutorials out there that tell you to do the wrong thing. And almost all of them contradict each other. Below is a basic script that only allows in and out SSH sessions and blocks all the garbage. Of coarse you must add any other services you need. The key here is that you allow connections from any to any established. Then on all outgoing tcp connections be sure to use the setup keep-state flags. The keep-state flag puts the rule into the dynamic rules table. Then the allow connections from any to any established allows already established connections to flow without going through the ruleset again.

Yes, that looks correct. Like I said, for a lightly used computer you
might want to keep it simpler. It really depends how *big* the files
which change are and how big your backup disk is compared to your real
one. You can figure out what was dumped on each backup using restore
-ivf {path_to_backup} and typing ls* at the prompt. A simpler scheme
makes it easier to find a random single file which you deleted by
accident, as opposed to recovering your whole disk.
If you are backing up to disk, then you could also consider compressing
you backups. Instead of doing
dump -NuaL -f [path_to_backup]
you could do
dump -Nual -f - | gzip -9 [path_to_backup].gz
Then to check what is on it:
gunzip -9 [path_to_backup].gz | restore -ivf -
(*) Actually, that will just show the top level directories. What you
get is a *very* simple shell with ls, cd and a few restore specific
options. Depressingly, restore isn't set up to use the readline
library, so you get no command editing.
clip
I would also consider doing your backups daily, not weekly as your
example suggests. The timing of full backups depends on how busy your
machine is. Anything from weekly to quarterly.
Well, I am the only active user on this computer. And I know when there
is something to back up, so it will be a bit irregular in reality. If I
only surf the Net all weekend long, there is nothing to worry about. Or
if I am not physically around, the computer will have no power to mess
with.
That's fine. Certainly nothing changes when the machine is off :-)
Beware of I was just surfing the net though, as you may have had email
coming in, and have bookmarked somewhere that you'll never manage to
find again :-) Regrettably, even trivial sessions can generate
important data. But like you say, that's your call. From experience I
know that there is a strong tendency for laziness to kick in.

One solution I found is to tell mountd and statd to use a particular port, instead of the random one assigned by portmap, using the -p option. On my system, mountd and statd are started up by /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs which reads /etc/sysconfig/nfs for confif options. I just had to uncomment two lines in /etc/sysconfig/nfs: # Pin mountd to a given port rather than random one from portmapper MOUNTD_PORT=4002 # Set fixed port for statd STATD_PORT=4000 If you can find the startup script that starts mountd and statd and add -p 4002 to mountd and -p 4000 to statd, then that should fix the problem. /etc/sysconfig/nfs has similar entries for lockd: LOCKD_TCPPORT=4001 LOCKD_UDPPORT=4001 But the man page says that rpc.lockd is usually not requred. -- Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cse.dmu.ac.uk/~mward/ Erdos number: 4 G.K.Chesterton web site: http://www.cse.dmu.ac.uk/~mward/gkc/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe it got fixed by one of the 'anti-worm worms' ? 8-) . What I was really wondering is if there is some way of preventing one silly Windows box from taking the FreeBSD server into a state where it is pretty much useless network-wise. Setting throttling is one thing that was suggested, but as I recall, when I tried that, it actually made no difference because it throttled the interface and it was useless anyway. Doesn't ethereal really just run tcpdump? Tcpdump showed very little. I guess because it was running on the same machine and the machine wasn't delivering packets to the internal networking..or it was infernally slow and it didn't get much to show. Probably if I had a 2nd FreeBSD box monitoring the network on a hub insdtead of a switch, that would work, but this is an outer office with no on-site IT staff and that is sort of hard to accomplish. Thanks! -Jim The obvious thing to do is don't connect everyone to the gig backbone at a gigabit. It doesn't sound like the 4.11 box was the problem; it sounds like there was no bandwidth for any other traffic on the wire because the haywire box was filling it with garbage. Wrong wire. I couldn't log in on the other interface either. It does not touch the switches and local LAN stuff. It goes to an outside T1. The 4.11 box was so busy it couldn't handle a login from the T1 and I couldn't get anywhere. If I could have gotten in, I would have shut down the inside interface and got the web, etc back up, but I couldn't log in. So it needs to be fixed at the source. That is being done, but, like above, it would be nice if it didn't completely shut down the BSD server, at least the networking part. Anyhow, no easy fix I guess... The problem is distinguishing between good and bad data. If you filter when you get to a certain limit, then you have to indescriminently drop packets, some of which may be your telnet or ssh packets. So you have a problem no matter what you do. We use commercal bandwidth management, so I'm not familiar with the freebsd internal stuff. But we have policies for our admin IPs that are always allowed, and packets/second rules for unknown traffic that would handle such things. Of course if the packets are coming in so fast that you're overrunning the receiver rings then handling it internally isn't going to work. Danial __ Do you Yahoo!?

It might be that FreeBSD 6.0, or just the installation you have doesn't have that particular file present. Check on the freebsd-current mailing list to see if this is normal. You might have to update your source and rebuild world. You will want to check before doing anything, because it could be that this lib is simply part of a compatibility package. The port compat-4.x-i386-5.3_2 installs libm.so.2, so there may be a port in the works that installs libm.so.3. Are you sure you don't have any libm.so.* library at all? If so, did you install the port from a prebuilt package, or did you build the code from the ports? Maybe you just need to build and install the port yourself? Good luck.

Re: bootparamd doesn't allow parameters?
Dan, In the last episode (Aug 18), Brian J. McGovern said: I'm in the process of trying to set up a Solaris jumpstart server in a lab, and I decided for chuckles to do it with FreeBSD. The problem I'm running in to is that apparently, the Sun bootparamd allows you to pass parameters as fields, for instance, as a couple of sample fields out of the Solaris-generated /etc/bootparams (note: entry is clearly not complete, but I didn't want to distract) testserver rootopts=:rsize=32768 term=:vt100 However, if I move this directly in to FreeBSD's /etc/bootparams, it will complain that it can not answer the request for rootopts from the Sun box. Is there something I'm missing? the man page seems to allude to the fact that all entries should be in the format of host:/path/to/file. Or, am I going to have to look at finding another bootparamd than the stock one? The code silently fails if any host field doesn't resolve to a valid IP address. Try the attached diff, which lets your example line work for me. bootparamd is now passing the values back to the Sun box. I can't demonstrate that the Sun box is making use of them (although NFS transfer rates are up this morning, which may be an indication). Thanks for the quick patch. Now, its back to figuring out why it can't find my rules.ok file and automate the install :) -Brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We upgraded from 4.9 to 5.4 and the 'top -I' and load average seem to behave slightly different. 'top -I' in 5.4 stays empty most of the time with processes flashing in and out from time to time. Well, I'd actually expect them to, as -I filters out any idle process. Justed tested on my 6.0B2, major CPU hogs are shown as expected. That's clear. Just on the same server under 4.9 somehow the processes tend to 'stay longer' and not just flash for parts of the second. Now under 5.4 the list 'top -I' is most of the time empty while the CPU goes from 0% to 20% and back all the time. And just very seldom a process flashes in the list. 'top' under 5.4 shows all the time 3-5 active processes at the top of the list. In 4.9 the processes stayed there until they are done. Where's the difference to top [-i], then? 'top' shows a long list with active and not active. 'top -I' shows just the active ones, but as some take few seconds - they do stay there for few seconds (under 4.9). Under 5.4 they either do not show or if they show - it is for parts of the second. I don't really know enough about how load and utilization are calculated. I'd guess load is calculated by the scheduler, based on the number of processes whining for more/larger time slices, whereas utilization is guessimated elsewhere, probably something like process CPU time / available CPU time. I'm none too sure there's an actual correlation between these values, let alone load 1 = utilization 100%. I had this feeling. So that's clear.

The browser also does not save any configs. I completely recompiled everything, I deinstalled both Mozilla and Firefox, but it is always the same behaviour.

disk management
I have a 250G disk. First partition is WinXp; second is a FAT32 part and the third is FreeBSD-5.4 When I run Powerquest Partition Manager it comes up with an error 116 about a dismatch of CHS/LBA setting on the disk and proposes to set things right. Yeah right... The first time I let it do so and was not able to boot FreeBSD anymore. Have no idea why, but it happened. So I reinstalled and now all's runnig fine, except that I want to get rid of WinXP. But I'm a little afraid to ruin my fbsd pastition again. So let me ask you: If I delete the XP partition (i.e. with the fbsd fdisk progam) and write the partition table back to disk, will this ruin my third fbsd part? If not can I safely install Win98 (which is LBA) on the first part and afterwards put my bootsector back (I know how to do that in 5.4) The scary part is that there seems to be a misunderstanding of my disk by Microsoft programs (using a LBA disk setting) and my FreeBSD (using CHS settings). I can only put ONE option on in the bios though ;-) Maybe it's better to use non-LBA (*nix) in the bios? Or will that disturb futere win isntallations? Waahhh, why are things so complicated.. And yes, I DO need a Microsoft part. It's for gaming.. But XP does not suit me well, so I want to go back to 98se SP2 for the time being. Again I want my FreeBSD slice to be safe!

If I log in as my user or as root, the browser dosn't connect. It seems that I have no conectivity at all to the internet or my network. Yes I set the cards to active, and yes there are ethernet cables attached. I have tested the cards and cables on a Windows os and everything works fine. What am I missing??? Is it permissions? Mabey further configuration? I'm going to try to set IP dynamicly but doubt I going to get results. I've been trying for 3 days and the fustration sent me askin questions. Please sombody give me some hints. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: disk management
Dick Hoogendijk [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: So let me ask you: If I delete the XP partition (i.e. with the fbsd fdisk progam) and write the partition table back to disk, will this ruin my third fbsd part? If you want to be real careful, save off a copy of the MBR (to floppy?) with something like: dd if=/dev/ad0 of=MBR count=1 or slight less safely using boot0cfg -f MBR (incomplete cmd). You can even use dd...|hd or the fdisk of a Linux Live CD to examine the partition table, so you're sure where your current FreeBSD partition is located. As for your question, one can only say it shouldn't. I doubt if it changes the partition table at all, but I don't know for sure. It certainly doesn't touch the partition itself. I can't help with MSFT stuff, thru lack of experience. The scary part is that there seems to be a misunderstanding of my disk by Microsoft programs (using a LBA disk setting) and my FreeBSD (using CHS settings). I can only put ONE option on in the bios though ;-) Since it was an option, my BIOSes have always been set to LBA, and FreeBSD (and Linux) seem to use both LBA and CHS in different places, keeping me confused, but I've never needed to use non-LBA. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) onlocal (non-remote) XServer
Hello. I'm running rdesktop 1.4.1 on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p6 with Xorg 6.8.2 to connect to remote windows NT terminal. Periodically it stops working with the following message: X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Atom id in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 1118892 Current serial number in output stream: 1118893 Atom id is always 0x0, next two nubmers are different. I use windowmaker with several workplaces as X window manager. rdesktop is usually running in a separate workplace, and I never saw as it crushes: it always happenned then when I worked in other workplaces. Several days ago FreeBSD has been updated from 5.2.1 to 5.4 via cvsup. xfree86 has been updated to xorg, and new version of rdesktop has been installed. Search has shown that people tested similar problems starting some X-applications on the remote machines through ssh with X-forwarding enabled. So, to solve that kind of problem it was necessary to enable ForwardX11Trusted in ssh_config.

OT: Supermicro IPMI 2.0 boards
I wasn't able to find anything about this on Google unfortunately. Hoping that if this thread can determine the problem, others will be able to find it. We ordered a whole batch of servers which have the IPMI 2.0 board (I am pretty sure). When they first come online they seem to have the MAC 00:30:48:12:34:56 . Then at some point they take on the real NICs MAC address. The problem is that some of them aren't, and the IPMI 2.0 boards do not seem to be supported/working under FreeBSD yet. The older versions of the board did work previously, using the 'freeipmi' port. On these servers the tools just hang indefinitely. The situation is getting more serious as it may be causing spanning tree problems. We're getting warnings from our switches every 15 seconds about 00:30:48:12:34:56 being swapped from port to port and switch to switch. While on the servers themselves, I'm seeing a steady stream of: 13:37:37.023915 arp who-has 192.168.1.113 tell 192.168.1.113 13:37:37.119740 arp who-has 192.168.1.113 tell 192.168.1.113 13:37:37.213317 arp who-has 192.168.1.113 tell 192.168.1.113 13:37:37.271162 arp who-has 192.168.1.113 tell 192.168.1.113 13:37:37.522533 arp who-has 192.168.1.113 tell 192.168.1.113 13:37:37.720931 arp who-has 192.168.1.113 tell 192.168.1.113 If I bring up that IP on one of the servers, dmesg fills up with entries about other servers claiming the IP for their own.

Justed tested on my 6.0B2, major CPU hogs are shown as expected. That's clear. Just on the same server under 4.9 somehow the processes tend to 'stay longer' and not just flash for parts of the second. Now under 5.4 the list 'top -I' is most of the time empty while the CPU goes from 0% to 20% and back all the time. And just very seldom a process flashes in the list. 'top' under 5.4 shows all the time 3-5 active processes at the top of the list. Sampling error. In order for top to run, nothing else can run on that CPU at the same time, so you won't get a very meaningful picture of short-lived processes that are instantaneously 'active'.

Well, you can, but you have to be the owner of the mountpoint directory and have set (as superuser or during startup (/etc/sysctl.conf)) the sysctl vfs.usermount to 1.

Hi, I managed to come accross this old Compaq Proliant server and wanted to try it out for a personal webserver. Since I wanted to try out BSD, I decided to go with it as the operating system. My choice distro (or what do you call it?) was FreeBSD because I use Gentoo Linux and it's package system is a rip-off of FreeBSD's ports. I figured that would be the easiest transition. Now, I am not totally sure which model the server is, but I know that it has a 200Mhz cpu and 128 MB of RAM. Suprisingly after I booted it up (after several tries) I saw the WinXP bootlogo and soon was at the login screen. If it can run that, it can run almost anything! So I put the bootonly bsd cd that I downloaded a couple of days ago and got it to boot. That went well, exept there is a bit of a problem. The input is veeery slow. I press a down arrow and have to wait a minute for it to happen. There was no lag in the installed XP, so what might have brough about it in BSD? -- Cheers, Karol Krizka Fun Game- http://www.hobowars.com/182837/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You are reading from your cd drive on the bootonly disc, whereas xp is installed on your HD.

Hmm, I can't see any reason for that symptom, have never heard before and can't verify that, but I'd suggested to disable ACPI and see if that helps. Often you get old hardware with broken ACPI BIOS implementations, and I guess you won't find a standard compliant update for a 200Mhz anything (guessing i386) CPU! So try to set 'hint.acpi.0.disabled=1' in /boot/loader.conf If that helps, please provide feedback, then probably your BIOS has to be blacklisted, so nobody else has to run into the same problem. -Harry pgpEQJcqbCjpm.pgp Description: PGP signature

Intel related question ...
Sorry for asking here, but y'all are the only useful techies I know :) Am trying to put together my next new FreeBSD server ... Intel based, on an SE7520JR2 DDR2 motherboard ... problem is simple ... I have 4x1G Kingston DIMMs to put in (KVR400D2R3K2/2G) ... if I put two in Bank 1, I can boot ... if I put the other two in Bank 1, I can boot ... if I put 4 in (2 in Bank1, 2 in Bank2), I get three long beeps ... Is ther something obvious I'm overlooking here? It doesn't seem like the RAM, since all 4 sticks do work, so its only leaving me the motherboard itself ... but wanted to double check ... Marc G.

When the cd's boot loader asked me what to do, I pressed 1. I was thinking about disabling the ACPI too, but when I saw another option was Enabled ACPI I figured that it is disabled by default. I think it might be as scott said in the other email that i's reading from cdrom. It is a 52x cdrom, but I assume that the slow cpu has trouble with it no matter how fast it is. -- Cheers, Karol Krizka Fun Game- http://www.hobowars.com/182837/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
