Depending on the backup strategy that you want, I highly recommend rsnapshot (/usr/ports/sysutils/rsnapshot http://www.rsnapshot.org/ ). It handles most of the management of retaining past backups up to X days, X weeks, etc, and uses hardlinks to save space between the backups. So because it uses rsync, it uses the bandwidth of an incremental backup, but because it uses directory trees of hardlinks, each backup is completely restorable like a full backup. One problem may be semantics. I'm not certain if I want directory /etc/* synchronized on servers A and B, or if I just want a 100%-guaranteed backup ... . Since I do 99% of stuff on tao, I want every other (possible) server to sync up my ~/* files on other machines. The build and config files I just want tar'd up and moved to, say, /usr/tmp/tao, /usr/tmp/sage, usr/tmp/zen, and so on. This stuff is what I would like done at least daily. I'll look at rsnapshot.

building and installing world on two separate machines

If what you want is a backup to the disk on a remote system (rather than a tape drive or whatever), then have a look at rdiff-backup: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_rdiff_backup It uses the rsync protocol for sending only changed blocks, but saves the sent data to one side as well to make a 'transaction log'. You end up with a full copy of the current data (as you would with rsync) and a command to construct any previous version by applying the changes in reverse as necessary. I run this on a couple of dozen machines, mostly freebsd, with no problems. For things like web servers and DNS, the increments are pretty much that day's logs, so it is quite effective at saving space/bandwidth. The actual software is in ports (sysutils/rdiff-backup, I think). It also has the benefit that no special actions are needed to restore a single file - you just grab what you want. Even if you don't fancy the software, the article also has the info you need to get a reasonably safe root SSH (limited by IP, and the command that can be run, AND the public key) going with public key authentication, which will help for rsync as well.

# Exit if RSYNC_HOST not defined, there is no good default value.

You put your exclude list in a file, .rsync (see the man-page), what to
exclude may depend on the directory you're rsyncing. If you're
automating this as a cron-job, then you may not have the environment
variables set.
I think that rsync defaults to ssh so the --rsh is really obsolete, but
I like to make it explicit.

RE: Trouble installing 6.1 on an old machine
I have same problem with my 10+ year old server boxes. First the boot bios scan has changed between 4.11 and 6.0. You can upgrade your old PC's bios. In most cases the mfg does not support the motherboard any more so chance of getting upgrade to burn the bios chip is most un-likely. You can get 3rd party replacement bio chip from www.umicore.com for around $80.00. Second problem is the size of the 5.2 and newer FreeBSD install kernel. It has gotten bigger and will not function properly on pre-2000 equipment. Solution is to take the hard drive from old PC and plug into newer box and do install. After base system install is completed just return hard drive to old pc and boot from it. Will work fine from that point on. This works fine on my 386 cpu 33 mhz server pc manufactured in 1994 and its currently running FreeBSD 6.1.

Re: Trouble installing 6.1 on an old machine
Thanks for your help! Yeah, can't get any BIOS upgrades anymore. I doubt that I'll spend time on removing harddrives again. I may just stick to 4.11 then. It's just a testserver on my local network anyway. Best, Andreas --- On 9/4/06, Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have same problem with my 10+ year old server boxes. First the boot bios scan has changed between 4.11 and 6.0. You can upgrade your old PC's bios. In most cases the mfg does not support the motherboard any more so chance of getting upgrade to burn the bios chip is most un-likely. You can get 3rd party replacement bio chip from www.umicore.com for around $80.00. Second problem is the size of the 5.2 and newer FreeBSD install kernel. It has gotten bigger and will not function properly on pre-2000 equipment. Solution is to take the hard drive from old PC and plug into newer box and do install. After base system install is completed just return hard drive to old pc and boot from it. Will work fine from that point on.

Looking at xorg.conf, it looks as if I have two devices specified. Section Device Identifier Standard VGA Driver vga VendorName Unknown BoardName Unknown EndSection Section Device Identifier GeForce 6200 LE Driver nvidia EndSection I am not sure what vga is doing there (something xorgconfig stuck in?), but it does not seem to do any harm (?). I'm going to try erasing it and seeing if disaster strikes. It's picking up the correct refresh rates without any options specified in the device section. I would guess that if I were using the digital output, this might not be the case? I'm cheating a bit by having a windows box connected to the digital input and the FreeBSD box connected to the analog input, so bypassing the issue while avoiding paying for a digital KVM switch. It looks as if there is an order-of-magnitude difference in the processing power needed to do analog and digital at the same display size.

does your handmade device use RS-232? If its PIC or

Where Are All These Files Located?
Hi; In installing logcheck, I read the following information: BSD and FreeBSD: You should go to the /etc directory and edit the /etc/daily, /etc/weekly, and /etc/monthly scripts and change the 'rotate()' script function to change the log permissions on rotation.

OpenOffice falls in there. I'll avoid building it and use a pre-built package. After you install it, you'll find that it shows up for an update because two lines were swapped in the Makefile.

load balancing nat
Hello folks,
I have a strange problem on hand. I have got two internal LANs and one
ISP link. I am trying to share the link between the two internal LANs
and do a load balancing between the two. The rules I am using are:
nat on $ext_if from { $int1_if:network, $int2_if:network } to any -
$ext_if round-robin
where $int1_if, $int2_if are two internal interfaces and $ext_if is
the external interface.
However my observation is systems using $int_2 as gateway loose
connectivity randomly. Also the TTL values for the pings to the
gateway change to 150 from 64 as soon as the system looses
connectivity.
The systems in the LAN are all windows xp boxes.
Could anyone please tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks and Best Regards

Yeah, I tried that. It didn't work. Files must be referencing something else,

They don't exist by default any more, but if you *create*
/etc/{daily,weekly,monthly}.local, then they will get run as part of the
appropriate periodic tasks. See:
/etc/periodic/daily/999.local
/etc/periodic/weekly/999.local
/etc/periodic/monthly/999.local
grep _local /etc/defaults/periodic.conf
However, why wouldn't you just setup /etc/newsyslog.conf to rotate your
logfiles? Much simpler and cleaner.

Kbtv application: I'm looking for someone who wants to take over maintainership/development
FYI: Kbtv is a small TV app for FreeBSD/KDE. It works with Brooktree/Conexant and with Philips SAA713x based analog TV cards (I actually recommend using the latter). AFAIK, it is the only properly working app that uses SAA (and unlike bktr, saa never freezes or panics). Also supports webcams that work with the pwcbsd driver. The tarball and some blahblah are now hosted at sourceforge (also still at my website). I also put a recruitment message on SF: http://sourceforge.net/people/viewjob.php?group_id=176370job_id=26247 I want to withdraw from this project, and would love to pass it on to one or more people who are interested in this kind of app, rather than just abandoning it. There is a port for it as well, it would seem logical to hand over maintainership to that as well. It is in a good working state.

From your reply, I'm missing something obvious here. But would you point it out anyway? Fair enough. It's because dropping packets before they reach the port makes it irrelevant whether they are closed (that is, have no listening daemon) or not. If a port scanner says the port is closed, it generally means that it got an ICMP unreachable (UDP) or a TCP reset (TCP) back. This is helpful to attackers as they know quickly that the port is useless to them, and that the target is online. On the other hand, if you drop the incoming packets, the attacker cannot infer whether you are online, and most port scanners wait for some period and then decide that the target is not going to respond, so it slows down single-threaded scans. In general, it is better to drop than to reject to untrusted networks, since the scanners are generally hostile. Internal communication on your LAN can usually be rejected, because internal users are generally not hostile. This means that if they try to access a service that isn't running, they get a response right away that they made a mistake, instead of waiting for a response which will never come. Furthermore, a closed and an open port permit pretty good OS fingerprinting. I think that if you drop instead of reject, then an attacker cannot narrow down the OS as well. In summary: The way to close a port is to not run a program which listens on that port. This can be simulated by rejecting packets at the firewall. The way to block a port is with packet filters, and there's no way to do that without one (unless you disable reject messages at the kernel level). -- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

Re: UFS2 fsck Question (semantics of -p)

Can On Aug 29, 2006, at 9:55 AM, Chuck Swiger wrote: Can Sar wrote: [ ... ] Would you consider it an error if the -p option does not fix inconsistencies caused by a simple power failure, without any hardware or software corruption? You're asking an interesting question, but the issue of data integrity depends not only on the software which comprises the OS, but also on the hardware being used. In particular, the system depends upon the hard drives to reliably report when data being written actually has been; SCSI drives, using tagged command queuing, especially in conjunction with a battery-backup which ensures the drive stays up long enough to flush it's write cache even if system power is removed, will tend to fare pretty well. IDE drives, by contrast, have a bad habit of lying about whether data has actually been written to the disk itself rather than simply making it to the write cache on the drive. (Such drives ignore the ATA FLUSH CACHE command, specificly.) In other words, showing that a filesystem can become inconsistent in a fashion that fsck -p cannot correct is interesting and a concern regardless of the circumstances, but showing it in cases where you are using battery-backed drives and/or SCSI rather than IDE is a lot more meaningful. If you are using IDE devices, your testing will be more meaningful if you disable the IDE write-cache entirely. Also, you should put your results somewhere, perhaps on a webpage with links to the filesystem images and a complete dmesg so that the OS version and hardware being used is well-documented. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: load balancing nat
Hello folks,
I have a strange problem on hand. I have got two internal LANs and one
ISP link. I am trying to share the link between the two internal LANs
and do a load balancing between the two. The rules I am using are:
nat on $ext_if from { $int1_if:network, $int2_if:network } to any -
$ext_if round-robin
where $int1_if, $int2_if are two internal interfaces and $ext_if is
the external interface.
However my observation is systems using $int_2 as gateway loose
connectivity randomly. Also the TTL values for the pings to the
gateway change to 150 from 64 as soon as the system looses
connectivity.
The systems in the LAN are all windows xp boxes.
Could anyone please tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks and Best Regards

If you installed programs from packages when you installed the system, you may get problems with version conflicts installing from an updated ports collection - this happens usually when the last release is getting old. In that case, maybe you should clean out the system, deinstall all packages, update ports and start again. This takes time but given that 6.2 is coming up. It would also thoroughly defeat the purpose of installing from CD! Not hardly. It doesn't even come close to it. I wonder if I ought to wipe the partitions and start completely over with a fresh install, and this time *don't* try to update the Ports. This is a decision you have to make for yourself. I personally think it to be a very unwise choice and one I would never consider, but then... I would also like to point out that when you ask for help on questions@ and someone asks you a question, if you have the information it should be given, even if it was already posted on another list. I'm pretty sure that most of us don't follow all of the possible lists. So, even if I did follow the gnome list, if you said something is already posted there, that's too bad, I'm not about to do a lot of extra work trying to help you out. That's time I can put to better use working on my own equipment, or helping someone who will work with me to help them.

Hello Bob,
Thanks for taking the time to answer. I would post a diagram as requested.

As shown above, int1_if = 192.168.0.0/24 and int2_if = 10.0.0.0/24
The FreeBSD box needs to route the packes from both the networks to
the ISP with equal priority.

Subject: load balancing nat
Hello folks,
I have a strange problem on hand. I have got two internal LANs and one
ISP link. I am trying to share the link between the two internal LANs
and do a load balancing between the two. The rules I am using are:
nat on $ext_if from { $int1_if:network, $int2_if:network } to any -
$ext_if round-robin
where $int1_if, $int2_if are two internal interfaces and $ext_if is
the external interface.
However my observation is systems using $int_2 as gateway loose
connectivity randomly. Also the TTL values for the pings to the
gateway change to 150 from 64 as soon as the system looses
connectivity.
The systems in the LAN are all windows xp boxes.
Could anyone please tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks and Best Regards
Subhro

Interface Alias Question
To all, I have a quick question, I have a FreeBSD 6.1 box and one of the NICs is aliased to have a total of 3 IP addresses. How does the outbound traffic get handled there? Does it always send outbound packets with the primary IP address? If so, is there a way to force a certain protocol, say ftp, to use one of the alias IPs as outbound traffic? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just keep in mind when you look for used Mac's that the Tiger OS normally on DVD. There was a trade-in program where you could get CD's of it if you sent in your DVDs - I did - but some of the older Macs out there that have firewire ports only have CD drives. Also, any older Mac you find will need ram - Tiger gobbles it. If you can find an older copy of Panther OS it gives you lot more lattitude in what older Macs will work - it also does not require FireWire, so even the original iMacs will run it. You can compile most text-mode open source applications on Panther and Tiger, but if you want to compile X programs your better off with Tiger. Frankly, if we had the money at my employer I would probably use rack-mounted Mac servers and Tiger as a platform to run many of the server applications. But a new Mac server is stratospherically expensive compared to a basic HP DL320 running FreeBSD.

(giggle) If I recall correctly, there was some hacking to do too if you were dual-booting Solaris and Linux on the same disk for Solaris would try on use your whole Linux filesystem as its own swap location. Wasn't it the other way around (i.e. Linux assuming that anything marked as Linux swap, is fine for a swap partition, happily proceeding to trash your Solaris filesystems?).
