Re: Do I need to completely disable sendmail?

 Thanks.

 What I did was remove all lines except `sendmail_enable=NO` and in
 /etc/mail/aliases, I setup the root alias to goto my real email address:

 root [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I setup my firewall to block incoming/outgoing email on ports 21/25 as
 well, so no one on the outside can access mail services.

 It seems to be working correctly, as I received mail as it was ran to
 my @mydomain.com email.

 Does this seem ok?  Did I do anything wrong?
 
 I run OpenBSD on my mailservers, but I expect that the sendmail works
 basically the same.
 
 In /etc/rc.conf or its FreeBSD equivalent, check the sendmail line to
 see if it references localhost.cf or sendmail.cf
 
 localhost.cf will permit internal mail on the machine, so that root can
 send messages to your everyday UID, etc., but will not permit mail to be
 sent to or received from, the Internet, or other machines in you LAN.
 
 sendmail.cf will permit full Internet email, but even this will not
 permit Internet email, unless your machine has a fully Qualified Domain
 Name, which is registered with your domain registrar, and has the
 Registrar's MX setting configured properly.

Uh -- the way OpenBSD deals with sendmail is a bit different to the way
FreeBSD does.

Under FreeBSD, rc.conf settings are used to prevent sendmail from
listening on any network interfaces than the loopback.  Otherwise
exactly the same sendmail.cf would be used for either case.  FreeBSD
also has all of the machinery required to rebuild the .cf files from
the .mc files setup and available directly from /etc/mail.  The system
defaults to creating $(hostname).mc and $(hostname).submit.mc files if
none exist already and then turning those into sendmail.cf and submit.cf

Matthew

Re: Restricting access to home directory

2006-09-25 Thread Matt Juszczak

Well...

If there was an easy way to restrict users to their home directories using 
SCP or SCPONLY, I would love that instead.


I don't really feel like installing an FTP server just so users can 
connect to my server when they are already used to using sftp-server.


Is there anyway?

the easiest way to do it is just adding the user to the file /etc/ftpchroot

if the file does not exist. then create it.

add to /etc/ftpchroot all users that you want them to ftp but never see any

Short answer: NO and that's OK for a protocol based on ssh.
Your users can pass the bounderies of their homedirectories if they're
logged in too, can they not?
And ssh is nothing more than kind of a remote login; a bit more secure
than rlogin was (is)

Choose 6. Escape to loader prompt from the boot menu and enter the
two lines to the loader(8) prompt:

set hw.physmem=256M
boot

See loader(8) for details.  It's the same thing that you specify
MAXMEM=256M to your kernel configulation file.

When to use SUID Perl (5.8.x)?

2006-09-25 Thread B. Cook

Hello,

Just wondering what do you need suid perl for?

I run a webserver for staff users, and have had no real need for it, and 
considering removing it.


I think it goes to back the days when SA (possibly?) needed it and I 
just cp'd the make.conf across boxes over the years.. :)


it is a security risk having it?

Is the risk that if the webserver/webserver-app gets comprimised the 
user could use perl?


Thanks in advance.

 hi
 can anybody tell me what is 6.2 preerelease.

Just what it says.
It is a FreeBSD 6.2 that has not been officially released yet.
The present official release is 6.1.   The 6.2 release is coming
soon and is being worked on actively.   You can install it for
testing or development or somewhat risky production use.  It is
sort of a beta release.

sendmail + milter + postfix + jails question

2006-09-25 Thread albi
hi,

i don't like sendmail very much, but have been happily using postfix 
for years now,

on a freebsd mailserver with jails i was wondering whether the
following is possible :

- all incoming email goes to 1 jail which only runs
  sendmail + milter and blocks all email with .gif attachments
- sendmail then let's through all other emails with some transport-map
  which doesn't need individual aliases (per user)
- other jails (separate jail for lists and email) accept the email
  via postfix

can sendmail do this ? or is there other mailserver-software which can
block gif and hand over all email to other jails with postfix

i'm asking this for the following reasons :

- i have a jail with postfix+mysql+spamassassin+maildrop,
  esp. the maildrop-part took me many many hours to figure out,
  (turned out that courier maildrop default mysql-support was dropped
  in favour for courier authdaemon+mysql-support)
  it's working fine now, so i prefer not to add more to this jail,
  but i'd like to stop .gif-images attached now
- it looks like postfix needs per user aliases for transport-situation
  to virtual domains (or am i missing something ?)

possible or not good ?

thanks in advance for useful info!

Korn Shell [[ ... ]] operator

2006-09-25 Thread Arindam

I know csh is the shell of choice on FreeBSD. But I have this question
on Korn Shell and it would be great if somebody could explain.

Can someone tell me a little more about the Korn Shell [[ ... ]]
double-brackets construct used for comparing string expressions. How
does it differe from the standard [ ... ] single brackets.

You could tell me to RTFM but I haven't gleaned enough clarity from
such efforts already expended.

It would be great if you could give some idea through examples.

A message that you sent was longer than the maximum size allowed on this
system. It was not delivered to any recipients.

-- This is a copy of your message, including all the headers.
-- No more than 100K characters of the body are included.

it is soo large b/c of all the rejected mail:

I do want to see the mail due to the messages in the queue.. but how do 
I get it not to show me rejected mail?

Different comparison operators, basically, and faster than [ because it
doesn't have to fork /bin/[ .
 
 You could tell me to RTFM but I haven't gleaned enough clarity from

They're all documented in the manpage (ksh93 for the shells/ksh93
ports), under Conditional Expressions.  Compare them with the test
manpage.  It looks like FreeBSD's test command does most of what ksh
does, except for the wildcard matching of =, which is handy but can be
emulated with a case statement :)

Re: Korn Shell [[ ... ]] operator

2006-09-25 Thread Derek Ragona
The [[ ]] operators are for compound tests, the [ ] operator is for simple 
tests.  In ksh newer than 6/3/86 the [[ ]] makes the [ ] obsolete.



Example of [[ ]]:
[[ foo  bar  $PWD -ef . ]]  print foobar
foobar


That is from the kornshell book co-written by David Korn.

By the way, I use ksh for my root's shell and it works fine.

 xorg 7.x will hit the ports tree any time now. 6.9 already has some
 basic support, e.g. my 9550 works, very slowly though.

What do you mean by basic support ? My PCIE X700 now has semi working

a few OpenGL apps, I've gone so far as to actually set some of the

of them whine about the odd issue, but there is limited 3D acceleration
here.


I mean, FWIW, that 6.9 has basic support for 3D on my 9550. 6.8
doesn't and I heard that 7.0 has much better support.


The 6.9 in the ports gave me only 2D acceleration, as expected, no DRI
no glx etc.

So, which version of 7.x is coming into the ports, and what version of
the ati driver will be coming in with it ?


7.1, the one that's bundled.

Hi,

Is there a specific reason why you absolutely want to keep sendmail? Why don't 
you do everything with postfix, and a content filtering tool you haven't 
mentioned: amavis?

Jails runs all of the software you mentioned just fine. Just remember to bind 
on the IP of your jail.

To set the maximum message size the Exim will process, put something like

   return_size_limit = 1M

in Exim's configuration file, /usr/local/etc/exim/configure

GBDE on top of SSHFS (on top of rsync.net)

2006-09-25 Thread Arone Silimantia
I am successfully using sshfs with my offsite backup
provider, rsync.net.  I used these instructions:

http://www.rsync.net/resources/howto/freebsd_sshfs.html

and have my remote filesystem mounted locally.

I decided that I would like to create a 4 GB GBDE
image and place it on the mounted offsite-filesystem,
and then mount that ... which is a mount on top of a
mount, but theoretically it should work.  But it
doesn't.

When I issue the command:

gbde init /dev/md0 -i -L /etc/gbde/md0

and save the file in the vi editor, making no changes,
I get this error after entering my password:

Enter new passphrase:
Reenter new passphrase: 
gbde: write: Input/output error
#

So I am mainly just curious - has anyone ever mounted
a GBDE on top of an sshfs mounted filesystem ?

Thanks.

Re: When to use SUID Perl (5.8.x)?

2006-09-25 Thread Olivier Nicole
Hi, 

 Just wondering what do you need suid perl for?

To run a Perl script that needs to get root privileges.

 it is a security risk having it?

It is always a risk to have a powerfull tool installed when you don't
need it. If a security bug is discovered in Perl, one could be able to
become root without you wanting it.

 Is the risk that if the webserver/webserver-app gets comprimised the 
 user could use perl?

It depends on whatyou are running on your server.

If you don't need setuid perl, do not install it :))

I have installed dummynet on a machine-2 which I am using to introduce delay
between the packets that I'll be sending from machine-1 to machine-3.
I am using ping to confirm that ICMP/TCP packets are getting delayed. I know
both UDP/TCP fall under ip, so UDP packets should also be getting delayed but
just to confirm, do you guys know of any utility that I can use to check if UDP
packets are also getting delayed.

ipfw shows pipe 1 and queue 1 as

pipe 1 ip from any to any
queue 1 ip from any to any

I am running linux on machine-1 and machine-3.

Creating New Users over Telnet/SSH

2006-09-25 Thread John Cruz
So a friend of mine is interested in creating a FreeBSD telnet/SSH box 
for people in his networking class to screw with. He said he wants to do 
something like what happens when you telnet into
sdf.*lonestar.org *and if you're a new user you just type new and go 
from there, but I've never done this or looked into it, so I was 
wondering if any of you had any ideas on how to do this.


Basically,

User telnets to the server. if they have a username and password, they 
put it in. If they don't, then they are taken to a place where they can 
create a new account (on lonestar, it says it's taking you to a NEWUSER 
mkacct server to do this then asks me to put in FEP commands for 
creating shell accounts)


It gives you the options and disclaimer and such and you have to agree 
then choose a username.


Then it asks you more questions like zip code and password and such and 
it finally creates your user account, you can then log in to the system.


Lonestar is using netBSD, we are going to use FreeBSD 6.1

Any info on how to accomplish this is greatly appreciated.
