A Question of How to Handle Numerical Notation
I am writing a program on a UNIX system to munch the text output of a Cisco VOIP call manager and turn those data in to something that looks like the output of our hard-wired PBX. Fortunately, the data we need are a subset of all the data available so the main problem is simply that of reformatting most of the information. There is, however, one nasty little problem I have discovered. Both the UNIX and Cisco platforms handle time and date functions using unsigned 32-bit integers. No problem there. The times are based upon the number of seconds since the epoch of January 1, 1970 in GMT or UTC. That's great. I discovered soon, however, that there is an extra wrinkle that really messes things up quite a bit. The Cisco call manager outputs the hexadecimal form of 3 values in something that initially looks like good old hex but is good old hex being used to convey some form of notation, probably like scientific notation, that one must decode in order to get the actual hex values needed to recover the data. All we know for sure is that this has something to do with SQL and Microsoft. After all, everybody uses Microsoft and UNIX doesn't even exist, right? Does anybody know what this notation is called? Does an explanation of the algorithm exist in public so one can convert the strings that are part of the call manager output in to the unsigned ints that actually carry the right values? An example of the string in question looks like: 370A65FA-6965-4E40-A0DA-EC88DE6B I appreciate any constructive suggestions, anything from what this notation is called to a description of how to process the 5 values. That would make writing C code possible to convert them in to the actual binary string that contains the data we need. Are there any FreeBSD libraries we can use to help the process along? I am sure this notation has a name, but not knowing it, makes searching for information about it rather difficult. Many thanks.

Perhaps I should be remaking them? Is the process I described, not updating the binaries of installed ports?

Can I use the FreeBSD 'live' filesystem? Is ther a step by step (that I have not found) in the handbook somewhere? Don't know that it's described anywhere, but in short below. You can try it on a live server, don't actually do any newfs or restores! Boot FreeBSD CD1 (pretty much any recent version ought to do unless there were changes to dump or fliesystem format). E.g. a 5.4 CD ought to restore a 6.2 machine just fine. Newfs/bsdlabel/fdisk stuff probably from post install configuration, so that you don't install any packages etc. This is where you need a paper record of your disk slicing/partitioning. Fixit shell and mount remote-partition-of-dumps using NFS on /mnt. This may need some kldloads. I've gotten stuff accessible via SAMBA like this so NFS ought to work. Needed to phutz with the load path for kldload. Mount fresh e.g. / partitions on e.g. /mnt2 . I'm pretty sure you can make new mount points as boot CD mounts root on a memory disk. restore -f /mnt/server1-root-full-dump -root (check man page!) Unmount /mnt and repeat for usr, home, var etc. Note that you can gzip your backups and use a restore command like: gzcat /mnt/server1-root-full-dump -root.gz | restore -f - -r Dumps take longer but take up less space. I do the same thing and also have incrementals. Always relied on figuring out what to do as I went along if I ever needed to, hence the somewhat sparse nature of the above procedure :-) --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Newbie Question - looking for suggestions of small ports to install on stand-alone system without internet connection
I would like a few recommendations for small ports to try to install on my stand-alone machine. The stand-alone machine does not have connection to the internet; however, I do have a set of four (4)CD from the FreeBSD Mall and two (2) of the CD's have 'ports' on them. I would like to select one, two or three ports to install on this machine ... to go through the steps and experience of the ports process using the cdroms, so ... in essence I'm looking for suggestions of ports of a small nature (if there is such a thing).

Geez, what do you want to play with? Pick anything. Maybe a couple of simple games would be a good example or maybe a text editor such as vim. But, your lack of network connection makes coming up with suggestions more difficult. It is no problem if everything is on the CD set. The problem is that so many things have dependancies that may want to go out to the network to get something else to build. I always just have it pull in things over the net, so am not sure how much you can get away with for a just CD install. So, it is hard to think of one without trying it to make sure everything it needs is on the CDs. Some simple game such as xmahjongg or dontspace (a Freecell game) might work OK and not call in to much else. A text editor such as vim may be OK. They all require X, but that should be on the CDs. jerry Thanks in advance. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing?

Re: Disaster recovery.
BINGO! Thanks Dan, I think that is exactly what I am looking for. Possibly the last few questions. 1. After fdisk/disklabel/newfs, how do you drop to the shell (can I drop to tcsh?). 2. Once in that shell, are all shell commands avialable? (or at least mount, cp, restore, etc). 3. If the old disk is 36 GIG and the new disk is 74 GIG, AND I partition every filesystem bigger than the old ones on the old disk, then do the restore of the 4 filesystems, will it work or do the new filesystems really need to be exactly the same size? 4. All my servers are capable of pxe boot. Would it be worth while adding a disk to a server with nothing else than a fresh virgin install of freebsd (I have 0 exp with pxe, so if I am off here forgive me).

Theoretically, amd64 should work on a Xeon (depending on which Xeon you are using, more system details would be required to say for sure) See: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/hardware-amd64.html *** QUOTE *** Since mid-2003 FreeBSD/amd64 has supported the AMD64 (“Hammer”) and Intel EM64T architecture, and is now one of the Tier-1 platforms (fully supported architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality with respects to all aspects of the FreeBSD operating system, including installation and development environments. Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64 (AMD) and Intel EM64T (Extended Memory 64-bit Technology). 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost compatible with each other, and FreeBSD/amd64 should support them both. As of this writing, the following processors are supported: * AMD Athlon64 (“Clawhammer”). * AMD Opteron (“Sledgehammer”). * Intel 64-bit Xeon (“Nacona”). This processor is fabricated on 90nm process technology, and operates with 2.80 to 3.60 GHz (FSB 800MHz) and Intel E7520/E7525/E7320 chipsets. * Intel Pentium 4 Processor supporting Intel EM64T (“Prescott”). This is fabricated on 90nm process technology, uses FC-LGA775 package, and operates with 3.20F/3.40F/3.60F GHz and Intel 925X Express chipsets. The corresponding S-Spec numbers are SL7L9, SL7L8, SL7LA, SL7NZ, SL7PZ, and SL7PX. Note that processors marked as 5xx numbers do not support EM64T. Intel EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and different from Intel IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which FreeBSD/ia64 supports.

You need to obtain ipwcontrol(8) from the IPW web page listed below to accomplish loading the firmware before ifconfig(8) will work. Is there some part of this which is unclear to you, Constantine? Yes, Chuck, some part is indeed unclear to me, precisely the part that explains why does one have to go into that much trouble to have a working system. That was explained below. You might not like the reasons, or agree with them, but your claim that the FreeBSD manpages do not say anything about the need for firmware is obviously mistaken. There's no need to be curious about the matter; the Intel Pro Wireless adaptors, like many other brands of wireless adaptors, use a software-controlled radio which is capable of broadcasting at higher power levels and/or at frequencies outside of those allocated for 802.11 connectivity for specific regulatory domains. The US FCC, along with other regulatory agencies in Europe such as ETSI and elsewhere, require that end-users not have completely open access to these radios to prevent problems from deliberate misuse such as interference with other frequency bands. Yes, regulatory bodies, of cause, table specific requirements that must be satisfied by systems that utilise RF, i.e. the manufacturer must make reasonable attempt to prevent users from using non-permitted frequencies. Not permitting the firmware to be redistributed has nothing to do with the FCC, however. That's right. Intel permits you to redistribute their firmware under the terms of their license. This isn't a matter of choice on Intel's part; if you want this situation to change, you're going to have to obtain changes in the radio-frequency laws and policies in the US and a number of other countries first. No, firmware redistribution is ENTIRELY up to Intel. I want the firmware to be available under a BSD or ISC licence, just as with Ralink. Intel's firmware is already available, but under a different licence. Where does the FCC say that Intel must distribute firmware under a non-OSS-friendly licence? The BSD license and all other OSS-friendly licenses permit the user to modify the software and redistribute that modified version as a derivative work. A modified version of the firmware has not received FCC certification-- see Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter I, section 15 in general, and specificly: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_05/47cfr15_05.html Sec. 15.21 Information to user. The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Sec. 15.202 Certified operating frequency range. Client devices that operate in a master/client network may be certified if they have the capability of operating outside permissible part 15 frequency bands, provided they operate on only permissible part 15 frequencies under the control of the master device with which they communicate. Master devices marketed within the United States must be limited to operation on permissible part 15 frequencies. Client devices that can also act as master devices must meet the requirements of a master device. Also see: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/unauthorizedradio.html Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934 prohibits the “use or operation of any apparatus for the transmission of energy or communications or signals by radio” without a license issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Thus, generally, in order to use or operate a radio station, the Communications Act requires that you first obtain a license by the FCC. However, there are certain limited exceptions. For example, the FCC has provided blanket authorization to operators of Citizens Band (CB) radios, radio control stations, domestic ship and aircraft radios and certain other types of devices. This blanket authorization means that operators of these radio facilities are not required to have individual station licenses. Operators are required to operate their stations in a manner consistent with the FCC’s operational and technical rules for those services. Failure to do so could be considered an unauthorized operation. Again, is there some part of this that is unclear or which you fail to understand? Yes, precicely, I don't understand why you think FCC
Re: Disaster recovery.
In the last episode (Oct 06), Grant Peel said: Possibly the last few questions. 1. After fdisk/disklabel/newfs, how do you drop to the shell (can I drop to tcsh?). In sysinstall, pick Fixit, then CDROM/DVD. The default shell is /bin/sh, but since you're on a livecd, you can switch to tcsh. 2. Once in that shell, are all shell commands avialable? (or at least mount, cp, restore, etc). Yep. You can also do this stuff with just boot floppies, but in this case, you'll just get the bare minimum commands (ifconfig, mount, restore). 3. If the old disk is 36 GIG and the new disk is 74 GIG, AND I partition every filesystem bigger than the old ones on the old disk, then do the restore of the 4 filesystems, will it work or do the new filesystems really need to be exactly the same size? Restore is file-based, so it can restore onto anything. You can even go from a split root/var/usr system to an all-in-one-fs setup and back. 4. All my servers are capable of pxe boot. Would it be worth while adding a disk to a server with nothing else than a fresh virgin install of freebsd (I have 0 exp with pxe, so if I am off here forgive me). If nothing else, pxe's fun to play with. I've mainly just used it to serve up pxegrub so I can boot a system where I accidentally blew away the bootblocks or cleared the active flag on all my fdisk partitions. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Anyone using the Eagle ADSL modem driver?
Is anyone using this driver for ADSL modems with the Eagle chipset: http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ueagle/ The site hasn't been updated recently, and I was wondering if it still works with 6.1, and/or 6-stable. I'd also be interested in the merits of versions 1 and 2. I have an ADSL NAT router, but it doesn't really work well with P2P software.

MySQL hangs jail on startup
I have a server running 6.1-STABLE. One of the jails on that machine runs MySQL 4.1.21. If I have mysql_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf when I start the jail it hangs indefinitely. If I set it to NO the jail starts fine. I can then login to the jail via SSH and change it to YES and start MySQL manually with no problems. I've tried tweaking all the jail knobs in sysctl, messed around a bit with REQUIRE and BEFORE in the mysql-server startup script, and tried some of the mysqld startup options to skip networking, bind only to the jail's IP, ... but to no avail. Any pointers on what might be happening and how I go about fixing it?

Re: A Question of How to Handle Numerical Notation Solved
Those of you who recognised the example string I sent as a UUID really helped solve this problem. What happened was that the algorithm I wrote to parse the CSV values in each record is broken when it encounters a blank field as in ,, so it fails to increase the index counter and place a null string at that point. This meant that what I was reading as field W was actually more like field Z. I was actually looking at a field labeled pkid or Packet ID which is the UUID you saw. The algorithm I wrote to parse worked perfectly on the first line of the file because every field was populated but it silently failed on lines of real data because of blank fields.

Hello List,

Vulnerability, OK.
By reading the advisory on
http://www.hardened-php.net/advisory_082006.132.html I can safely say
this does not apply to our environment, we don't use open_basedir or
safe_mode and Suhosin is planned anyway (after test).
[...]
So what to do now?
You've established that the security issue doesn't apply to your
environment.
1) Add DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes to /etc/make.conf
2) Run portupgrade -u or make install clean
By doing this you have disabled vulnerability checking for *all* ports
which seems a little extreme. Either add the flag to pkgtools.conf (for
portupgrade (and portmanager?)) or use it from the command line with make.
--Alex
Thanks for the advice, as matter of fact this came to my mind too, so I
actually did in make.conf was:
...
# PHP 5 Port installation options
.if${.CURDIR:M*/lang/php5*}
DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes
.endif
...
Greetings

adding a linux boot option
i have a system with 2 disks (ad0 and ad1), with ad1 having a recent suse linux install, and ad0 is a standard freebsd install. i must have made a mistake when i installed the suse, as i overwrote my freebsd bootloader and only had option to boot suse. so i then reinstalled freebsd, and i again must have made another mistake, as the freebsd loader only shows F1 for Freebsd, and nothing else (well, F5 for drive 1, but that does nothing usable right now). is there an easy way i can add an option to boot the OS located at /dev/ad1s2? cheers, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
tracking a stolen laptop?
I am trying to track down a stolen laptop. My laptop did not have BSD downloaded, but is there any way yet by which I may be able to track my laptop with your help? I would like to get BSD if I get my computer back. Thanks for any help or advice you can offer.

ssh(d) Failed keyboard-interactive/pam for invalid user
One of my machines running: FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Thu Aug 3 15:33:32 EDT 2006 has suddenly decided to deny all ssh connections, whether by key-exchange or password. When attempting the latter, this appears in auth.log: Oct 3 22:47:44 jerusalem sshd[46280]: error: PAM: authentication error for illegal user deleted from bronze.lcs.mit.edu Oct 3 22:47:44 jerusalem sshd[46280]: Failed keyboard-interactive/pam for invalid user deleted from 128.31.0.11 port 63059 ssh2 Thre's nothing relevant in /usr/src/UPDATING, and searching on Google points to Samba-related stuff. I am running Samba, but fail to understand how this can affect a non-Samba-related login. Anyone willing to whap me with the clue-iron?

Re: sshd stalling upon login [solved]
I had problems with some ssh clients not being able to connect to a default installed FreeBSD 6.1. A source compile of openssl from ports fixed the problem for me. Perhaps someone should look into the compile settings of openssl binaries as used in the FreeBSD install ISO. thanks, ke han On Oct 6, 2006, at 4:42 AM, Noah wrote: Girish Venkatachalam wrote: On Wed, Oct 04, 2006 at 02:31:30PM -0700, Noah wrote: Try this.

Event LOG Server
Dear All, Is there an application program in FreeBSD that the main function is to get LOG's from over 100 clients in the local area network in which I could monitor their activity in PC such as sending their emails, their browsing and downloading files from internet, and so forth? I know some examples are Squid for monitoring their http activity, and watching /var/log/maillogs for their emails but since our network was controlled and behind at our main office from other place in which they do provide us internet connectivity since we are only a branch office.

Looks like your SSH keypair has been mangled: % cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa -BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY- [ ...should contain base-64 encoded data... ] -END RSA PRIVATE KEY- If you don't have a valid keypair there in id_rsa and id_rsa.pub, use ssh-keygen to make a new one.
