RE: encrypted file sharing bsd--winxp/2k3 [SOLVED]
[original post from 10/2005... better late than never!] we have been searching for a proper solution to encrypt filesharing data between a windows client and a freebsd fileserver (because freebsd provides a good solution for disk encryption -- GELI). we wanted to use them as simple network drives (because somtimes software needs that). vpn and hardware solutions (like encrypting NIC's) have been ruled out because of the investment or the effort and interoperability of these solutions. webdav, ftp, etc... have been ruled out because of the amount of services/configuration you need on the server and because of the behaviour in windows (it's never acting as a real network mapped filesharing folder). our choices (after some test/research) are: SMB over SSL. the solution is as simple as it should be with small networks that still have an requirement to encrypt data: on the fileserver you install samba, and let it bind only to the loopback adapter (eg. 127.0.0.1:10139). next you install stunnel on the server and let it tunnel the real ip's port 139 (eg. 192.168.10.1:139) back to 127.0.0.1:10139/tcp. on the client you have to install the microsoft loopback network adapter and give it a real and static ip address, that is NOT in your network (and hopefully will never be. in our example 10.232.232.232). for testing. remove all bindings except tcp/ip to this adapter (like ms filesharing). now install stunnel on your client, configure it like to map as a client from the loopback adapter's (10.232.232.232:139) to the fileservers ip/port (192.168.10.1:139). define automatic startup for stunnel and samba on your server and start the services. on your client you also install the stunnel service to run on system startup. finally, you have to map a network drive: just use net use X: \\10.232.232.232\your_samba_share_name and if everything went fine, you have a new drive X: like it would have been shared by a windows box. this configuration works perfectly for us! the only requirement is that you know how stunnel and samba work (at least from the administrator's view) and that you know your network. we didn't use hostnames in this example only for readability. if you want hostnames, don't forget to setup a proper hosts/dns. oh yes, using port 445 was NOT working because as soon as ms starts, it binds itself to 0.0.0.0:445 and therefore you can't bind anything else to this port. (we didn't find a way to tell ms to only bind port 445 to specific addresses, if someone knows how, let us know!) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: FreeBSD 6.0 compat with DL320 G4
Hi All, Actually I think I figured out the problem in the driver and I'm going to test this tomorrow. For those of you smart guys who like math, take a look at the following change that was made in the driver CVS a couple years ago: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c.diff?r1=1. 37r2=1.38 It looks like at the time the maintainer decided he didn't like all the nasty magic numbers like 0x3F000F in the code and so replaced it with some equally nasty macros pointing to other magic numbers, plus some elaborate shifting of bits to try to generate the magic numbers he eliminated from the magic numbers he created. The only problem is that, for example, the bitwise ORing and shifting he's doing is not going to convert 0x10, 0x13, and 0x0f into 0x3F000F At least, none that I know about and I spent a couple hours trying to figure out why he was doing what he did. Maybe someone out there can look at this section of code for me and see if they can figure this out? More importantly, the specific Broadcom chip (BCM5714) has an exception in the Linux driver from Broadcom with it's own spechul magic number different from the magic numbers used for the other chipsets, and this isn't in the FreeBSD driver.

Clicking on OK the share is immediatedly connected and it all works. Nonetheless the pop-up window asking for a password is somewhat disturbing. By the way, windows XP clients don't seem to suffer from the same problem. They connect to the share smoothly, without asking anything as expected! Any idea to solve the problem?

Re: dhclient-exit-hooks
(Apologies for the rather fragmentary nature of this post - I've been typing and reading the scripts and man pages, trying to get my head round what's going on...) On Wed, May 03, 2006 at 05:43:48PM -0400, fbsd wrote: I figured the Shared object not found error is another sign of what is wrong in general so I commented out the mail command to concentrate on just the logger problem. Fair enough - we'll come back to this later! During testing the logger problem I determined the script if statement is not working. It ought to - the test is structured correctly, so I can't see any reason it would not behave in any way other than you would expect. Problem seems more like bug in how and or when during the boot process the script is getting executed. Yeah, it's beginning to look like it, isn't it? Did you try running it with xtrace turned on? Perhaps you could even try running rc under xtrace? (I have done this in the past, it spews forth a great deal of noise, but among the noise you may find what you are looking for.) This has nothing to do with my script code. This is how FreeBSD is handling the default dhclient-script that comes pre installed on the system. The recorder directives have made no difference. Yep, that makes sense - now I understand where your code is being called from. Please note I am not using the isc-dhcp port dhclient. I am running the dhclient that comes as part of the base install of FreeBSD. Noted. I have ifconfig_dc0=DHCP in rc.conf to launch /sbin/dhclient-script. dhclient-script calls dhclient-exit-hooks I don't think the recorder directives get into play because dhclient does not use the rc.d environment. No, not the ones you added to the dhclient-exit-hooks, but dhclient is started by this block of code in /etc/network.subr: if dhcpif $1; then if [ $_cfg -ne 0 ] ; then ifconfig $1 up fi /etc/rc.d/dhclient start $1 _cfg=0 fi (dhcpif() tests the value of $1, returning true if it is DHCP or dhcp or any combination in mixed case) /etc/network.subr gets called from /etc/rc.d/netif (among others, but it is netif that is called earliest, I believe). /etc/rc.d/dhclient does use rcorder, although you are right in that /sbin/dhclient doesn't know anything about it. As far as I can tell, the sequence of events is something like this: rc builds a list of files to run, using rcorder(8) These scripts run, occasionally calling in other helper scripts (such as /etc/network.subr). When netif is called, it calls network.subr, which calls /etc/rc.d/dhclient as necessary. /etc/rc.d/dhclient starts /sbin/dhclient, which in turn calls /sbin/dhclient-script at various points in its execution. /sbin/dhclient-script then calls the enter and exit hooks at the appropriate times. I know the dhclient-exit-hooks script is executing because of the echo commands I put in it before and after the IF statement. Yep, that's fair comment. I also know the dhclient variables are being loaded in the /etc/dhcpd.name-servers file because I empty it before rebooting system, and after words I edit it and it contains the correct values. Which suggests that your code is indeed Doing the Right Thing. I am beginning to think that something changed between 4.x and 6.0 in the way the dhclient-script get processed during boot. It's acting like it gets executed to early in the boot process. Do I have enough evidence on this to submit a bug report??? I reckon it's worth trying under xtrace to see if that provides any clue. You could also try adding -s to the logger call, so it prints its messages to STDERR as well as to the nominated log file.

pgadmin text entry gone slow
Hi Recently my pgadmin started playing up. Typing text into a query window doesn't work unless I type REALLY slow, otherwise it can't keep up and misses characters. Here is I probably shouldn't type so fast! at my normal typing speed: Irbal sol'ttyp fa! It was definitely working before I installed Xorg 6.9 but I can't remember if it's worked since. I'm running an old 6-STABLE and all the ports are up to date on my system. Any idea what is causing this?

RE: dhclient-exit-hooks
Today I installed the isc-dhcp-client package. It installs a completlly different dhclient-script. One that looks like it matchhes what your begin/exit scripts are designed to work with. # base version /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks.sav /etc/dhclient.conf /sbin/dhclient /sbin/dhclient-script # port version /etc/rc.d/dhclient /usr/local/etc/dhclient.conf /usr/local/etc/dhclient.conf.sample /usr/local/sbin/dhclient /usr/local/sbin/dhclient-script At the end of the pkg install it says this. To setup dhclient, you may need to edit /etc/rc.conf to replace the base system dhclient, such as : dhcp_program=/usr/local/sbin/dhclient dhcp_flags=-q When I boot with this in my rc.conf dhcp_program=/usr/local/sbin/dhclient dhcp_flags=-q# no banner background_dhclient=YES # Start dhcp client in the background. ifconfig_dc0=DHCP I get these error messages over and over. Have to reboot in single user mode to edit rc.conf to fix. Can't bind to dhcp address: Address already in use Please make sure there is no other dhcp server running and that there's no entry for dhcp or bootp in /etc/inetd.conf. Also make sure you are not running HP JetAdmin software, which includes a bootp server. When I boot with the same rc.conf content execpt with #ifconfig_dc0=DHCP commented out, I do not get ip address from dhcp server. Next run I edited the pkg version of /usr/local/etc/dhclient.conf and added 'interface dc0' to it and rebooted and got same results. I think this is another indicator of a bug with the base dhclient and that this bug makes the pkg version unusable. How do I turn on this xtrace you talk about to capture the rc.conf boot process? I can not find man xtrace.

Everything cups related is working perfectly fine. However, my dmesg

And its driving me crazy! Cupsd is trying to start twice? and the second

Yes. That was it. Thanks.
However, I had thought that the behavior to be different. My man page (from
6.0-RC?) reads:
The following key points apply to old-style scripts in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/:
· Scripts are only executed if their basename(1) matches the shell
globbing pattern *.sh, and they are executable. Any other files or
directories present within the directory are silently ignored.
Has the behavior changed? It was my understanding that files with *.sh or no
extension (yet executable), would be run.
This has changed one or to months ago - somebody posted it on
some mailing list - but I really can't remember anymore (you
could have a look at google). And to my surprise you are right:
this isn't documented in the man pages yet.
It was recommended to remove all kinds of sample files - or at
least to change their permissions.

which graphics card?

Right now we are using a re-write of g4u with FreeSBIE to install images in a lab on campus. It sort of has a GUI; we're using 'cdialog' based menus.

For the most part, if you don't have more than 4GB of RAM, there is little point to running in 64-bit mode. A more fine-grained analysis: You can still take advantage of PAE and more than 4GB process address space on, say, a machine with 2GB of RAM, by using a lot of swap space or running a large 64-bit aware database. However, if you don't have more than 4GB of RAM [1], it's entirely possible that applications will run faster in 32-bit mode than in 64-bit mode, but it depends on the specific things you are running. IPv4 and character-related stuff (ie, byte fiddling/string copying) tend to be faster in 32-bit mode; things like SSL cryptography and big databases can prefer 64-bit mode even on machines without more than 4GB of RAM. -- -Chuck [1]: The real number is actually somewhat less than 4GB, more like 3GB or 3.5GB, since the kernel itself and hardware devices consume some of the top of the physical memory address map. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A more fine-grained analysis: I think I get it now.. having seen loads of adverts and hype (particularly from apple) bigging up 64bit, I think i misunderstood (or never bothered to try to understand more likely). I thought it meant the bus (or something like that - i obviously know very little about hardware) was twice as wide and so twice as much data could go through at once, so it was similar to being twice as fast, or something like that(!). This impression is partially true, but the subject is complicated. The AMD64 or Intel EM64T platforms do have a better bus, in the case of AMD, HyperTransport is a fairly new and fast backplane which is 16- bits wide at a nominal 1000MHz bus speed, not 64-bits wide or anything like that. The older 32-bit AMD or Intel platforms tended to have a 400-to-533 MHz FSB memory bus (Intel's quad-port architecture, VIA's quad-pumped V-link, etc), and the newer 64-bit Intels are 800MHz FSB mostly w/ 533MHz DDR2 memory bus. Are you saying that it just means you can address more memory? No, the CPU registers and the address bus can be wider (not just the memory bus) with Intel EM64T or AMD64 architectures, and can get more work done per clock for some tasks, but can also be slower for some common tasks, too. Again, if you have more than 4GB of RAM, using the CPU in native 64- bit mode is probably the way to go; if you've got less, using the CPU in 32-bit mode might very well work better, but it really depends upon the type of processes you run. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I believe Rhino does not work with any Windows emulators either, so I imagined I had only 2 options left - have completely separate computers and retain Windows on one - no good because my desk is cluttered enough already, or to go for a dual-boot one - no good either as I would constantly be rebooting (or would in practice revert to Windows and never get to learn FreeBSD which is what I want to do!) However, I don't mind having a Windows machine running somewhere on the network out of the way, but would want to use the keyboard, monitor and mouse attached to my FreeBSD machine.

Does anyone know if it is possible in principle to drive a Windows program on a Windows machine, but from a Unix computer? If this is not an idiotic question, and this sort of thing is possible, where would I find some fairly idiot-proof instructions on how to set it up, or at least some reading to get me started? If your secondary machine has Windows XP Pro or another Windows OS that includes Remote Desktop, then that's an easy way to go. There is an rdesktop port on FreeBSD that you can use to connect to it. Similarly, you could install a VNC server (there are a few, I like TightVNC) on the Windows box (any version of Windows is OK) and run a VNC client from the FreeBSD box for the same effect. [This is actually the reverse of what I do currently. I run Windows on my primary desktop for various reasons, but have a VNC session open to my (headless) FreeBSD machine so I can run kmail and other X / Unix type programs.] If you want to stick to one computer then the options become a bit more exotic. On my work computer I run FreeBSD but am required to use Microsoft Outlook, so I run Windows XP inside a qemu virtual machine (qemu is in the ports). Performance is acceptable but not stellar. Wine may also be worth exploring if you haven't yet, but it's hard to tell if a given program will work with Wine until you try it (although there is an application database on their website - winehq.org). I realise that a common bit of advice is to try stuff out and see, but if I cannot see a way forward, the time invloved in installing and learning FreeBSD would be very hard to justify, so please bear with me - I would be grateful for any advice at this stage. If anything you're to be commended on your forsight; it will make your transition much more painless.

Re: newbie wanting to switch to FreeBSD - planning stage question
Barnaby Scott wrote: I am new to FreeBSD (or any other Unix operating system) but am very keen to make the switch. I have read as much as I can over the last couple of years, and am very nearly ready to ditch the various Windows versions on my network - however there is one Windows-only application I really cannot find a replacement for, and that is Rhino3D (http://www.rhino3d.com/). Looking at the CAD section of the ports collection does not offer any alternative that is at all comparable, so I fear I'm stuck with it. I believe Rhino does not work with any Windows emulators either, so I imagined I had only 2 options left - have completely separate computers and retain Windows on one - no good because my desk is cluttered enough already, or to go for a dual-boot one - no good either as I would constantly be rebooting (or would in practice revert to Windows and never get to learn FreeBSD which is what I want to do!)

I use rdesktop (/usr/ports/net/rdesktop) to control Win XP and Win2k3 boxen, with good success, although I've had some trouble with games and other things that want to directly control the video hardware. But I can't do these games with the built-in Windows remote control either, so I'd guess that you'd be able to run your software remotely with rdesktop (unless, as I said, it want to take over the display hardware).

Why do I have to keep doing portsnap extract?
I just recently started using portsnap in lieu of cvsup on my ports tree for FreeBSD-6.0-RELEASE. I thought it was supposed to be more efficient than cvsup, but I'm finding it to be worse. I followed the directions from the Handbook that say to run portsnap fetch update to update the ports tree (assuming it's already been set up previously, which I did a couple weeks ago)... but when the fetch finished, it told me that I needed to run extract before update. Unfortunately, extract takes forever to run, so this is much worse than running cvsup. Am I doing something wrong? I thought I was following the directions in the Handbook.

Re: Software RAID guidance
I have been uable to get vinum to work under 6.0. I'm no expert though. Vinum became gvinum in 6.0 and is implemented using geom. Recently the gvinum man page has been updated and it available in 6.1 RC-1. I think if you want mirroring only you should consult the geom pages. It seems as though geom is the way of the future but does not currently support R5 which is what I was looking for. Somewhere out there is a pretty comprehensive set of iozone benchmarks comparing linux and BSD software Raid. Ah found it: http://www25.big.jp/~jam/filesystem/old/ This might give you some ideas.

The odd thing is, I thought I needed the bce driver, but the 6.1 install detected the NIC and used the bge driver. That driver is available in 6.0 as well, yet it didn't work in that install. Why is this confusing? Drivers get updated to cover newer versions of chips which didn't exist or weren't available to the developer when originally written. If you really care then check out the CVS history for your driver from the FreeBSD site (developer / CVS Repository / web interface). If I understand what you're saying, you're saying that the driver only gets updated for the latest OS? That seems a bit absurd to me. Wouldn't the bge driver be the same for every OS version that it's available for? All parts of FreeBSD are constantly being worked on. It is more correct to think of FreeBSD as a continuum, with the releases merely as defined points on the continuum. A number of people, in fact, run FreeBSD in such a way that every night a process on their system goes to the master CVS repository, and fetches any changes and updates that have been made, then applies them to their system.
