RE: Proposed license for IETF Contributions
Hi Simon, You might check this but I believe that the Copyright convention specifically excepts specifications from copyright coverage. I think there's some other classes of original work that fall under this. How about simply rewriting the ITEF license to designate any RFC as the complete RFC is a specification, and therefore uncopyrightable. Ted -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Simon Josefsson Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 7:28 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Proposed license for IETF Contributions Hi all. I noticed the following in the release notes for 6.0: The following manual pages, which were derived from RFCs and possibly violate the IETF's copyrights, have been replaced: gai_strerror(3), getaddrinfo(3), getnameinfo(3), inet6_opt_init(3), inet6_option_space(3), inet6_rth_space(3), inet6_rthdr_space(3), icmp6(4), and ip6(4). [MERGED] I'm working on a proposed update for the copying conditions (i.e., the copyright license) used on IETF Contributions. One goal is to make the license more aligned with open source and free software requirements. More background at http://josefsson.org/bcp78broken/. I'd like the FreeBSD community input on a whether a my proposed license would have avoided the above situation, and similar situations in the future. The issue is whether the RFC 3978 license permit using RFC excerpts in source code or documentation (man pages in your case) that is licensed under a free software license. I believe RFC 3978 do not permit this, and judging from your release notes, it seems you share that view. Anyway. Here is my proposed license: c. The Contributor grants third parties the irrevocable right to copy, use and distribute the Contribution, with or without modification, in any medium, without royalty, provided that redistributed modified works do not contain misleading author or version information. This specifically imply, for instance, that redistributed modified works must remove any references to endorsement by the IETF, IESG, IANA, IAB, ISOC, RFC Editor, and similar organizations and remove any claims of status as Internet Standard, e.g., by removing the RFC boilerplate. The IETF requests that any citation or excerpt of unmodified text reference the RFC or other document from which the text is derived. Comments? Suggestions? RFC excerpts are sometimes used in source code too, so the above scenario with the man pages may not be a isolated accident. I looked at Apache, Samba, OpenSSL and some other packages, and they all cite RFCs in various places. That usage may also be problematic, but I'm not sure.

How about simply rewriting the ITEF license to designate any RFC as the complete RFC is a specification, and therefore uncopyrightable. I'm not a lawyer, but I strongly believe under the Berne convention RFCs have copyright. The technical details described in an RFC may be protected by other IP laws, such as patent law for example, if the originator chose to patent those details, but the text of the RFC document itself, describing those details, is an original composition which satisfies the terms of the convention. The only means of rescinding copyright is for the copyright owner to explicitly place the work into the public domain. Simon's proposed license seems reasonable to me.

VLAN security question
I set up a FreeBSD box to be firewall/NAT/mailserver/etc. for a company, but that company subsequently went to a VoIP system, installed a Cisco switch, programmed the switch to route Internet traffic through the BSD box as before but also to route telephone traffic NOT through it, then set things up so that the workstations in the building are plugged into the phones (which have little hubs in them). Internet traffic is now on a VLAN, and telephone traffic is on a different VLAN. Running tcpdump on a workstation indicates that VLAN traffic can be seen there (sensible because the phones contain hubs, not switches). Tcpdump also shows that people on the Internet can send packets onto the telephone VLAN (i.e., random packets from the world can reach the phones and the workstations on that VLAN). The packets I'm seeing with tcpdump are still encapsulated. Question: Is this a security problem? For example, can a packet be crafted out there to show up non-encapsulated and on the workstation network, thus circumventing my FreeBSD firewall? Up to now, I've been assuming that this network is as secure as the phones themselves, meaning that if someone can hack a telephone and make it do things on the network, we have a problem, but otherwise we don't. That prospect also bothers me but is probably outside the scope of my question. :-) -- Doug Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] SSB + BART Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bartsite.com Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then...find the way. - Abraham Lincoln ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Looking for freebsd/openbsd Open Source project for multi-WAN load-sharing/failover firewall/internet gateway
I am looking for any open source project that can help me build manage, preferably through a GUI, a multi WAN firewall gateway to the internet, with DMZ, load-sharing, traffic bifurcation on priority/port and auto-ISP failover on any WAN link with IDS/IPS, NAT VPN features. I am not necessarily looking for a firewall distro...but various components that come together (on a minimal OS install) to build a GUI based firewall internet gateway appliance, having the multiple WAN capability. I basically want a minimalist design, which is open source, free and offers the above features. Some examples are the IPcop, m0n0wall (plus multiple WAN links) Sonicwall, Watchguard, Fortigate etc., minus their additional applications like mail anti-virus, mail servers, web-servers (except for whatever is minimal need for GUI) etc. Hope someone can suggest a good solution.

create the mail/mailman-dom1 port which is something like:

While this will work (and moving the mailman.sh file via pkgtools.conf)
it will only work for a single installation, afaik.

HP Proliant ML110 installation issue.
I'm trying to do an FreeBSD install on my new HP Proliant ML110 server. This thing has an Promise SATA RAID card, model PDC20621, I think it's causing some problems. Since the server has only 2 x 160Gb SATA Maxtor hotswap drives and a tape for backup I have the disks in RAID 1. Which ads up to a nice 320Gb. The server is going to be used as HTTP/FTP server and will be mirroring some files. When I try to boot up the FreeBSD installation this is what happens. The first problem: ad8 is the first 160Gb SATA ad8: Failure - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFERMODE timed out ad8: Failure - SETFEATURES ENABLE RCACHE timed out ad8: Failure - SETFEATURES ENABLE WCACHE timed out ad10 the second sata. The same errors as ad8. Then it hangs in a loop saying, ad8: req=0xc1b0f960 SETFEATURES SET TRANSFERMODE semaphore timeout. Danger Will Robinsson !!

PHP stopped working :(
Hi all, I have a FreeBSD 6.0 system which had PHP4 running perfectly fine on it. However, I wanted to install Horde (www.horde) with IMP, which requires IMAP support, so I decided to try and recompile PHP using /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions, first running make deinstall in php4-extensions and php4. At first, this did not work. I checked, and sure enough, the old data for the compilation was in /var/db/ports, so I deleted it out. Anyway, I ran make and make install in /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions without any problems, then I ran make and make install in /usr/ports/lang/php4. This is where I first noticed things looked a bit weird. It didn't seem like php4 was completely recompiling it; that is, it didn't seem to take long enough. But it claimed to have worked correctly, so I restarted Apache. Lo and behold, my problems started. First off, and this is weird, my test file - a simple file containing only a callto phpInfo() - will work in IE, but not in Firefox.

I've run into the problen bedore with firefox anf linux-firefox. Now similar probs with Ubuntu on my test server. I login to NPR or any web audio site and play things selecting their Real Audio button. I just tested a windows site and mplugin worked just fine. But when I selected Real Audio, firefox auto-loads the mplayer plugin. Then, after trying to connect, it stops. I'd be pleased to use just one audio app that does everything: mp3, mp4/aacplus, realplay streams, or windows. What do I need to do to enable this? Should I pkg_delete my real/helix port? Is having both realplay and mplayer/mplayerplugin causing the confusion?

FVWM menu and keyboard config transposition to KDE?
I know this is a strange question, but I'm a long time FVWM2 user (7+ years) and I've got a pretty extensive set of keyboard shortcuts and menu setups. Now, I'm starting to play with KDE (just for yuks, really) and I've gotta wonder if there's a quick and dirty way to transpose all my FVWM2 menus to the menu popping up on the Home icon when I hit the menu key. Anyone else ever made this move? I think I like some of what I'm seeing, but I'm not sure I want to relearn my whole UI just yet. I'd probably be more likely to just update the backgrounds and look for some new window candy for FVWM before I learn a new UI. BTW, If I go back to FVWM, is there anything saying I can't use Konqueror? And I wonder if there are extensions for it like those available for Firefox? Thanks in advance.

Re: How do I re-format 'dangerously dedicated' drive?
Hi all, I don't have an MS-DOS floppy, and I think my CDROM isn't booting because the HD is 'dangerously dedicated,' even though it is a bootable CD and the BIOS is set to boot it first. Since it is set to boot the HD first and it has a boot sector, the BIOS doesn't want to get by that. So, you want to go in to the BIOS and reconfigure it to put the CD boot in front of the HD. Then you can either completely reinstall the most recent FreeBSD or use the fisit to rebuild something on that disk. The key thing is to have both floppy and CD in the boot order before the Hard Disk. Change that only if you really need to. jerry I want to totally clear my drive so I can reinstall from scratch from CDROM.

Re: How do I re-format 'dangerously dedicated' drive?
Just to make sure. You are using medias that your CD-ROM can read. I once almost ripped my hair of when I couldn't get an old machine to boot from cd. At the time I was using CD-RW medias and the drive was not able to read them. So if you are using CD-RW try a CD-R.

Quick high availability load balancer for freebsd
I need a quick tip on setting up a High availability load balancer in freebsd. Here is our current setup: we have a cisco router, and a class B network. All of those who acquired ipaddresses cannot pass through the router if destined to port 80. The router only allow 3 ip addresses to browse the web. Those three machines are the parent proxies. Now 2 other machines on the same switch acts as high availability, load balancer. It is currently running an old version of redhat, heartbeat, and ldirector. The router doesn't enforce all traffic destined to port 80 to go through the load balancer first. some web clients uses the virtual ip of the load balancer and thus being diverted to the right proxy(not heavily loaded) while some, uses goes directy to the parent proxies. On the setup I am planning, this is not yet a concern.. I just have to achieve the same setup in freebsd because those 2 load balancers are old and retiring. I'm looking at freevrrpd and pen at this site: http://redundancy.redundancy.org/fbsd_lb.html I need some more tips however. How will you compare this setup to the Linux HA. Any link or quick guide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. __ Yahoo!

The following code exists in the shutdown command, therefore the error appears to be that of a non-zero EUID. #ifndef DEBUG if (geteuid()) errx(1, NOT super-user); #endif This makes sense considering a normal `su' does not change the EUID as stated in the man page = USER is set to the target login, unless the target login has a user ID of 0, in which case it is unmodified.

If you have the OpenSSL port installed why don't you uninstall the port and place the following in your /etc/make.conf file WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes This will force all ports you install going foward to use the base install of OpenSSL and not to install OpenSSL as a dependency from ports. You could then make deinstall, make install clean make distclean any port that requires OpenSSL, Ruby for instance. This should make it build with the base install, eliminating the version conflict.

If so what would you guys recommend? I'd like to get away from realplayer. From ports: try multimedia/mplayer. You'd also need www/mplayer-plugin if you wanted to play WM files from web sites. HTH. Have you looked at audio/icecast2. SHOUTcast also claims to run on FreeBSD, although, it isn't in the ports collection. http://www.icecast.org/ - ports/audio/icecast2 -- Mike Eubanks [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
