how to panic FreeBSD
Hello I am trying to learn kernel debugging and one of the approaches I have come up with is to introduce situations in the sys code by which the compiled kernel is buggy and will panic. My query is what are the typical bugs that I can introduce in say by which the kernel would panic. Thanks for any help. -- oo@@oo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ted I don't mean to troll at all but I have to point out that I've met a lot of closed minded people who will only use FBSD solutions. :) I know, it goes both ways.

I've held a mirror up to him so he can see that he's doing exactly what he's claiming in his holier-than-thou statement that everyone else shouldn't be doing. He can choose to continue to see himself as he thinks he is, or he can open the eyes of knowledge and see himself as he really is, and as the rest of us see him. The one thing about the folks that are FreeBSD bigots is that they usually aren't working as IT professionals, since the world demands even for the most close-minded IT professional that they must at least use some Windows even if in a periphery fashion. So, those bigots can't do much damage. But, there are quite a lot of Windows-only bigots out there who are working in a professional capacity. As long as those people are honest and tell everyone up front that they are Windows bigots, it's not a problem. But, the ones that claim that they are OS-agnostic, then always seem to use MS solutions because they are better or the best tool for the job those are the dishonest ones that do a great deal of damage.

Fetching install.cfg from a remote machine
EHLO I would like to know if someone has published some patch or found a solution to perform a automatic installation via sysinstall but with a remote (ftp/http/nfs) install.cfg file? I found some solutions using a PXE boot disk and mount via NFS but don't want to put NFS shares and DHCP specific server to do only that task. Do the rebuild of the ISO image itself with the install.cfg on the CD is also an alternate option but we will have to rebuild the ISO, re-burn images every time we change an option - Use a new release and so on...

update info on ports
Normally I upgrade my ports if I see new versions. But now I have a question: I saw a new apache22 version (apache-2.2.2_1) but on the apache site I could not find anything related to security bugs or whatever. I *did* find a version 2.2.3 though (not yet in ports!) So now I wonder, what is the difference of port apache-2.2.2 and the latest one apache-2.2.2_1 Imho it should be nice to have some kind of info file in the port telling the reasons to upgrade. Does anyone know? Or should I just wait for apache-2.2.3 (can't be that long). -- dick -- http://nagual.nl/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 6.1 +++ The Power to Serve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Does anyone know? Or should I just wait for apache-2.2.3 (can't be that long). You should check out freshports.org Fix security issue in mod_rewrite. All people using mod_rewrite are strongly encouraged to update. An off-by-one flaw exists in the Rewrite module, mod_rewrite. Depending on the manner in which Apache httpd was compiled, this software defect may result in a vulnerability which, in combination with certain types of Rewrite rules in the web server configuration files, could be triggered remotely. For vulnerable builds, the nature of the vulnerability can be denial of service (crashing of web server processes) or potentially allow arbitrary code execution. This issue has been rated as having important security impact by the Apache HTTP Server Security Team Updates to latest versions will follow soon. In addition to show changelogs for the ports, freshports also lets you watch one or more ports and be pinged whenever there's a new version. You should also install portaudit. This will give a list of installed ports on your system with known security issues. Also, if installed, it will will warn you if you try to install a port with such issues, and prompt you to update your ports tree. Svein Halvor signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I found some solutions using a PXE boot disk and mount via NFS but don't want to put NFS shares and DHCP specific server to do only that task. You don't need to setup nfs, install.cfg can be fetched with ftp. You can setup a PXEBoot jumpstart server that runs only tftp and dhcp, then in the install.cfg define a remote ftp server and the release you want. check this www.daemonsecurity.com/pub/pxeboot/ Alternatively, you can create a custom boot-only type iso which fetches the install.cfg, but in all cases, if you don't want to redo a lot of your work every time a new release comes out, you need to install using ftp.

How do I set hardware parameters?
Hi: I have a lot of problems with my new laptop (VAIO FJ3S/FJ1S) that seem to relate to conflicting hardware, it's been years since I've last had this kind of problems. The wireless nic doesn't work, it's on irq 10 but the first ifconfig causes an irq storm on irq 5. The USB doesn't work, it doesn't register new devices when attached, and even if I attach a usb mouse before boot, I doesn't work. The cardbus doesn't work either, I could live with a malfunctioning wireless nic if I could then use my pcmcia card from my old laptop.

gmirror/gconcat: mkdir causes system reboot
I am having a strange issue. I have a samba server (freebsd) that has been running fine for quite some time no errors to report. I replaced the system drives with fresh install of Freebsd 6.1 and updated to the current security branch. This was same version of freebsd previously on the server. All of the samba shares are on gmirror/gconcat hybrid mount point. '/dev/gconcat/DATA' mounted on /usr/local/smbshares. Now for some uknown reason creating a directories on this directory will immediately cause reboot!! From shell prompt I can SOMETIMES do the following othertimes it reboots: $ mkdir /usr/local/smbshares/testdir $ mkdir /usr/local/smbshares/test2 However creating directory beneath a directory in 'smbshares' ALLWAYS reboots: $ mkdir /usr/local/smbshares/media/pictures/testdir $ mkdir /usr/local/smbshares/media/dvds/testdir $ mkdir /usr/local/smbshares/media/dvds/all/testdir Reads seem to work fine. I can even create files so far with no problem. Files can be deleted without error. It is just when I try to make a directory that everything comes to a halt. The console error displayed before reboot is too quick to completley write but is something such as: mode 04277 inum=12258433 fs=/usr/local/smbshares panic: ffs_vallov: dup alloc snip ...

Problems setting up and properly compiling imap-uw.
Looking for some help in this rather baffling issue. I'm trying to get a new mail server setup with webmail capabilities (via squirrelmail) and I'm hitting a little snag. Squirrelmail says that the imap server won't accept plain text passwords, yet I compiled from source for plaintext using make -E WITHOUT_SSL and I also tried make -E WITH_SSL_AND_PLAINTEXT. Neither worked. Squirrelmail still complains saying that the imap server doesn't allow plaintext passwords. Any idea what I can do to fix this? Is it a config file I have to change or something? I don't want nor need to do ssl for logins as this will be located on a secure lan, so I'd like to avoid all the crazy stuff that comes with doing an SSL setup.

I think you are right that there's nowhere that really explains what these states are in realtion to pf. The STATE column in pftop (or pfctl -s state) has two sides, one for each endpoint. The state SINGLE:NO_TRAFFIC is something I see a lot using symon/symux, where a udp datagram is sent and there is no reply (it's merely accepted). You will also see a lot of ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED and FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2 states. Most of these are not really specific to pf, and will be documented in various references online and in books. Most of the states you will see have to do with TCP connections being build, or as established, or being torn down. Google for Transmission Control Protocol and you should find what you're looking for (and WAY more). -- Darrin Chandler| Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Actually, this is a very valid point. A good approach would be to write to the vendor and tell them than you had considered their product and it looks good based on purely technical mertis, but you had to go with a competitors products due to availability of technical documentation. Frankly, the lost sales from FreeBSD will get lost in the noise for a company like Adaptec. However, a few dozen or a few hundred letters like above would carry a fair amount of weight. Leave out any attitude or flames. Just tell them their competitor made money instead of them. AMD has played pretty nice with specs, along with price and other things to be comptetitive. It's worked well for them. Has Intel changed because of this? You bet. In addition to lowering prices, they've begun to open specs. Yes! That's a win for everyone, even Intel, and Intel is beginning to suspect... Now, can we get Adaptec or Broadcom to follow suite? Maybe. Some companies are slow learners. Counting FreeBSD installs and telling them how many there are won't do nearly as much as 1 out of 1000 FreeBSD users writing them a letter telling them you bought from their competitors because of their policies. Bonus points if the competitor has been nipping at their heels lately. ;) Something like this is what the FreeBSD Foundation should co-ordinate ... not a 'letter writing campaign', but coming up with a well worded, professional form letter that we could use ...

Here is the process we used for the Commonwealth Games (when the end of Daylight saving was stretched for this year..) This does all timezone files even though this procedure below only talks about Australia. NB The file name is now dated... user the appropriate current tzdata file !!! procedure 8-- - save the file (tzdata2005r.tar.gz) into /usr/src/share/zoneinfo then as root # cd /usr/src/share/zoneinfo # tar zxf tzdata2005r.tar.gz # make # make install # cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne /etc/localtime # chmod 600 /etc/localtime Elapsed time - about as fast as you type the commands. This will update _all_ Australian timezone files (and apply various other international updates also) on that host. repeat as necessary on other hosts. !*!*!*! a sanity check # zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne | grep 2006 before and after the procedure. Before- the results will show Daylight saving ending in March After - the results will show it ending correctly on the 1st Sunday in April. Similar tests can be run for Adelaide, Sydney etc. Also a test with Brisbane returns nothing as they don't use DST rules.

devfs and changing device permissions
If I want to permanently change the permissions for a device, I add en entry to /etc/devfs.conf. Right? But that doesn't get picked up until the next time devd is started. If I want to change the permissions right now, can I just go into /dev and use chmod or do I need to fool around with devfs(8)?

If it shows up later (like a USB drive) then you need to set up some /etc/devfs.rules instead. But that doesn't get picked up until the next time devd is started. If I want to change the permissions right now, can I just go into /dev and use chmod or do I need to fool around with devfs(8)? Robert Huff devfs.rules are applied when you execute /etc/rc.d/devfs restart, and that may apply to devfs.conf too (never tried it honestly). That said, I've never had problems using chmod for temporary changes on device nodes.

Re: How to make ADSL modem conections FBSD 6.1
Hi JC, I suggest you have your ADSL modem changed to a non-USB one (an ethernet one instead). Those are much easier to configure and you could connect them directly to your router. I used to have a USB ADSL modem myself but had it changed so I wouldn't have to deal with them (I wasn't sure if they were compatible anyways). I imagine your ISP has an etherenet ADSL modem available. I also think the ethernet modem is faster. -- Bryan --- DSA - JCR [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: HI all I am a newbie to FreebSD (I have a couple of systems running...) and I would like to know how to make internet connections using an USB ADSL modem, the ones that the telephon companies give the user when they make a ADSL contract.

SMTP-AUTH woes.
FreeBSD 6.1 saslauthd version 2.1.22 sendmail version 8.13.6 My problem is that sendmail is not authenticating plain text passwords. From my /etc/mail/hostname.mc file: define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS',`PLAIN LOGIN')dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`PLAIN LOGIN')dnl However when I telnet to the server I find the following: 250-AUTH GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 From my /etc/make.conf: SENDMAIL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2 SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib SENDMAIL_LDADD=-lsasl2 From my /usr/local/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf file: pwcheck_method: saslauthd From my /var/log/maillog file: Jul 30 23:08:01 mail sendmail[4061]: NOQUEUE: connect from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jul 30 23:08:01 mail sendmail[4061]: STARTTLS: ServerCertFile missing Jul 30 23:08:01 mail sendmail[4061]: AUTH: available mech=NTLM LOGIN ANONYMOUS PLAIN GSSAPI OTP DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5, allowed mech=EXTERNAL GSSAPI KERBEROS_V4 DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 Jul 30 23:08:01 mail sendmail[4061]: k6V481s5004061: Milter: no active filter Everything seems to be in place. SASL is running, and is working fine with the included testing tools, but sendmail does not seem to be accepting plain text logins. This is the same setup I have up and running on a 6.0 box, but it doesn't seem to be working now. Any ideas on what I might have screwed up?

Please explain? Because I like people to have an objective view when it comes to making technology decisions.

There is not one item to compare between tech fanatics and Hezbollah -- only contrast. I personally am not an Open Source (O.S.) weenie, and some folks are O.S. fanatics etc (usually you find these in the Linux fan-boy club but they probably exist everywhere) but I have yet to see a MS solution that was the best solution to a given problem. Not that they don't exist, but the negatives of being trapped in a MS proprietary hell forever far outweigh any advantages over the long haul. I have personally seen to m any businesses who get trapped and cannot get out because of the proprietary nature of the data storage (file formats, etc), even when they want to. YMMV.

Sendiing mail triggers fetchmail...
I'm going to set a cron job to get mail repeatedly. I was just wondering if anyone know if it's possible to get postfix to execute a script before or after it sends mail. I'd like to schedule a special fetchmail cron job for say 5 seconds after mail is sent on an account. I'm doing a search on the subject but I obviously don't know the proper search terms yet. And similarly can Cyrus-Imap trigger a script before and or after mail retrieval?
