Bug with tcsh? : if evaluating true instead of false
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Ok, so I tried to make a simple script to add users so I wouldn't have
to type in groups/pw over and over again... the problem is that it's not
behaving like it should =o.
Script:
#!/bin/tcsh -x
#
if ( ( $# != 0 ) ) {
set GROUPS=;
set USER=;
if( ( $# == 2 ) ) {
set USER=$1;
set GROUPS=$0;
switch($0)
case -v:
set GROUPS=-G vip;
breaksw
case -w:
set GROUPS=-G vip,wheel;
breaksw
default:
echo bad argument(s) specified!;
exit(1);
endsw
} else if($# == 1) {
set USER=$0;
} else {
echo bad # of args; exiting..;
}
`pw add user -N -d /home/$USER -s /usr/local/bin/bash $GROUPS
$USER mkdir /home/$USER ln -s /home/dud.bash_login
/home/$USER/.bash_login`;
} else {
print Usage [-r|-v|-w] username
}
Output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ./mkuser
if ( ( 0 != 0 ) ) {
set GROUPS=
set USER=
if ( ( 0 == 2 ) ) {
set USER=
set GROUPS=./mkuser
switch ( ./mkuser )
echo bad argument(s) specified!
bad argument(s) specified!
exit ( 1 )
Basically it should drop out at the first if statement due to 0 != 0
being true and go straight to the else block, but it's falling through
to the switch statement. Any ideas?

A comment in /etc/hosts.allow states that: Wrapping sshd(8) is not normally a good idea Why? Is it because such restrictions should naturally be made using a firewall/PAM/sshd itself/whatever?

Re: ACL: Default and other problems

This constraint makes the problem impossible to solve. Either you are interested in the impossible, or you aren't really looking to solve the problem using standard Unix mechanisms... Actually, I am really not looking for 'old Unix mechanism' to solve that issue, because I think ACLs are definetly made for this kind of problem.

Just an extra detail. Be sure that you not only do a mysqldump for your application databases but also dump the mysql database so you don't lose any internal permission records you've created. You or your apps will have likely created records in that database necessary for when you attempt to actually use your restored application databases. The resulting dump will need to be edited before you try to recover since your setup of mysql on the restored server will automatically create the structures. The dump file will duplicate the creation (not good). Get around that by deleting everything in that dump file except the INSERT statements for records you've created. They will usually be somewhat obvious, e.g., you may have an entry for daemon if a webserver cgi application has been granted access to some database. The records you will be interested in backing up are from the database mysql and the table called user. These must be restored after you restore the application databases in most cases since they refer to the existence of the application database. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What would be the best way of doing the above in a few lines added to my (sh) shell script? BTW: The spam list of domains are listed in a column one below the other in a flat file.

Moving jails from one computer to another
Hello, I'm curious if anyone has comments on moving a jail environment from one computer to another. Not having actually tried it yet, it would seem to be possible given: Both computers: are the same arch (i386, in my case). are running the same kernel and userland (e.g., FreeBSD RELENG_6_1) have identical jail environments (e.g., sysutils/ezjail) Of course, minor modifications may need to be made for IP addresses and such. It would seem this scenario would be good for developing things like web-based applications on a development server, then deploying the final product to a production server. Comments, thoughts, criticisms welcomed. -- Regards, Doug ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Fatal error 'Spinlock called when not threaded.'
Hi, Out of no where I started to get : Fatal error 'Spinlock called when not threaded.' at line 87 in file /usr/src/lib /libpthread/thread/thr_spinlock.c (errno = 0) On alot of programs. I thought it had to do with GTK/GNOME so I did : pkgdb -Ff portupgrade -rf pkg-config\* as per the 20061014 instructions. I got to ORBit2.0 and it did it again.

Re: Shell question
On Wed, Oct 25, 2006 at 09:53:47AM -0500, Jack Stone wrote: I have managed to piece together a shell script that is able to retrieve the domains from the spams of the day and summarize those in a special file that can then be added to the sendmail's rejects in the access.db. But, first I have to eyeball the list and remove any obvious good-guy domains. The domains from the spams? That's almost always pretty useless: 1. The only reliable information is what's in the SMTP envelope. Headers like From: etc... are always spoofed and almost always pointing to either inexistant or innocent victim domains (which then get flooded by bounces). 2. The IP-Addresses from the senders (from the SMTP envelope or at most the last Received: header, if you don't operate your own MTA), will almost always point to PTR of some big broadband ISPs hosting some infected Windows spam drones. Blocking the *domain* name of the ISP (esp. the big ones) would be is silly, because that would lock out a lot of legitimate users that send mails through their (ISPs) mailers. The bottom line: you'll end up banning 99% of innocent domains, and still get flooded with spams, since spammers can and do fake a HUGE amount of domain names. However, blocking IP addresses using RBLs like spamhaus.org, greylisting, and, to a lesser extent, using SPF (once it gets more widely adopted) can do wonders, if you operate your own MTA. E.g. the following Postfix configuration in /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf is a bit tight, but very effective in most setups: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, # check_sender_access hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/sender_access, # check_recipient_access hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/recipient_access, # check_helo_access hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/secondary_mx_access, # reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net, reject_rbl_client sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org, reject_rbl_client list.dsbl.org, reject_rbl_client dnsbl.njabl.org, reject_rbl_client relays.ordb.org, reject_rbl_client opm.blitzed.org, # reject_rbl_client dnsbl.sorbs.net, check_policy_service unix:private/spfpolicy, check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10023, # The following are a bit tight, but they won't do any harm reject_invalid_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_hostname, reject_unknown_hostname, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain, # check_client_access hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/client_access, reject_unknown_client One can do even more, but that should be enough for now, considerung the current state of the art of the spam engines.

I have seen various promise systems which seems quite interesting (VTrack M210p) but FreeBSD is not mentionned as an official suported OS on their brochure.

The cluster I was thinking about will be built with : - 2 nodes Pentium Xeon with SCSI card - 1 VTrack External Storage M210p (this one has automatic failure detection included on It's hardware). - Linux-HA as a control solution Has anyone built such cluster with these hardware ? If not what have you been using ? Sincerly yours. I wish you had asked two or three weeks ago as I setup a couple of VTrak M500f arrays, but they were attached to Windows servers. If we get any more in, I could probably do a quick test with FreeBSD. The M500f supports fibre channel, SCSI and iSCSI so I would assume that if you have an appropriate driver for one of those protocols, then it should work for you. Array configuration can be done very simply either through the network management port, serial port or HTTP interface. The HTTP interface is very nice and doesn't depend on Java or Internet Explorer, but it does require Javascript support on the client end to work properly. I'd definitely recommend this controller if you have the cash to spare. I know you mentioned external arrays, but a lot of people are reporting success with the Promise SATA and LSI MegaRAID controllers. Someone asked a similar question on the freebsd-hardware a few weeks ago, but I didn't see any replies. -Damian [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org/msg01521.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Freebsd Access Point
Greetings, This is my first submission to a freebsd mailing list so please bare with me. I am relatively new to Freebsd but I have so far set up a box at home acting as a gateway, firewall, and webserver with php and I'm really loving this OS (my version is 6.0). Now I would like to create an access point. I have a wireless card (Linksys wmp54gs, Broadcom 4318 chipset) I have read that I need to use ndiswrapper and windows xp drivers for it to work under Freebsd. And I need to use hostapd when configuring the card to act as an access point correct? I have found documentation on these two separate issues but nothing combining them? My question is, is it possible to use my linksys card under freebsd and set it up as an access point, or is it only possible with native drivers? I've also set up my gateway and all the computers behind it using static ips so will I still be able to make wireless work similarly? I would also like to use WPA with my wireless setup. I almost forgot, I have 2 wired nic cards in my Freebsd box the one I have connected to my inside LAN will I have to bride with my wlan card so my wireless connections can get out to the internet?

I am relatively new to Freebsd but I have so far set up a box at home acting as a gateway, firewall, and webserver with php and I'm really loving this OS (my version is 6.0). Great! Consider following the upgrade instructions in the FreeBSD Handbook to bring your system up to 6.2-PRERELEASE or 6.2-RELEASE once it's released. Now I would like to create an access point. I have a wireless card (Linksys wmp54gs, Broadcom 4318 chipset) I have read that I need to use ndiswrapper and windows xp drivers for it to work under Freebsd.

My question is, is it possible to use my linksys card under freebsd and set it up as an access point, or is it only possible with native drivers? You don't need hostapd to create an access point. If your card and the driver it uses support it, you can create an access point using just ifconfig. Unfortunately, the ndis driver does not support hostap mode so you can not create a traditional infrastructure access point. However you should be able to create an ad-hoc network by doing something like this: ifconfig ndis0 inet 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid your_net mediaopt adhoc Substitute the device name, IP address, netmask, and your desired ssid above as appropriate. The other wireless stations on your network will also need to be set to ad-hoc mode using the same ssid. I've also set up my gateway and all the computers behind it using static ips so will I still be able to make wireless work similarly? Yep, should be no problem. I would also like to use WPA with my wireless setup. This should be possible using ndis, but I don't remember for sure offhand. I almost forgot, I have 2 wired nic cards in my Freebsd box the one I have connected to my inside LAN will I have to bride with my wlan card so my wireless connections can get out to the internet? That's one option (see man 4 if_bridge), but I've found that it's easier just to have an external subnet, a wired internal subnet and a wireless internal subnet and let the FreeBSD box route between them. Since you've already set the box up as a gateway, this should be completely painless (you may not even need to do anything other than assign an IP on the new subnet to your wireless card). Thank you all very much for your help. Sure.

I've included the necessary output. bge1 is an interface that is connected to a Netoptics Aggregator tap. - $ systat -ifstat /0 /1 /2 /3 /4 /5 /6 /7 /8 /9 /10 Load Average | Interface Traffic PeakTotal lo0 in 0.000 KB/s 0.000 KB/s2.324 MB out 0.000 KB/s 0.000 KB/s2.324 MB bge1 in 15.732 MB/s 15.732 MB/s 392808408830616.000 b out 0.000 KB/s 0.000 KB/s0.160 KB bge0 in 0.051 KB/s 0.051 KB/s 14.950 MB out 0.186 KB/s 0.186 KB/s 13.038 MB - $ systat /0 /1 /2 /3 /4 /5 /6 /7 /8 /9 /10 Load Average || /0 /10 /20 /30 /40 /50 /60 /70 /80 /90 /100 root idle: cpu2 XX root idle: cpu1 XX root idle: cpu0 XX idle X root idle: cpu3 root irq29: bge X sguil snort X - $ snort -V ,,_ -* Snort! *- o )~ Version 2.6.0.2 (Build 85) By Martin Roesch The Snort Team: http://www.snort.org/team.html (C) Copyright 1998-2006 Sourcefire Inc., et al. - $ ifconfig bge1 bge1: flags=289c3UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,NOARP,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,PPROMISC mtu 1500 options=1bRXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX full-duplex) status: active - $ sudo bpfstat -I bge1 pid netif flags recv dropmatch sblen hblen command 39672bge1 p--s- 49221864 21646381 49221864 16432 0 snort - $ dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2006 The FreeBSD Project.

dual homing a freebsd server
To whom it may concern, I want to put two nic cards in a server, and have two separate gateways assigned to each nic. I want one to master and the other slave. When the primary network dies I want it to failover to the other card on the fly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

freebsd-update vs. make buildworld
Hi experts, Due to the recent security issue regarding openssl, I have to update a server running 6_release. I was wondering if updating using binaries using the freebsd-update utility is a viable alternative to recompiling the world. What would you recommend?

User mount of usb key drive ... question
I guess I don't know how to ask google and man fstab the correct way ... How can I grant a non-root user the authority to mount (and then write to) a usb key drive? Especially when said user is already up in kde? The drive works fine if root mounts it, but I'd rather not be root when I do this on my laptop. And opening a konsole window, suing and then mounting , is cumbersome. I've been looking at man devfs.rules, as this seems to be near the place I want to be. But I haven't quite fingered out a way... Ya'll don't gotta just tell me the answer, if you don't want. I'm a man man, so to speak. I'm eager to look it up myself, only I don't rightly know whereinaheck to look.

It is so long as you haven't altered any of the kernel or base source files. If you have, you'll need to rebuild kernel and world. I use both methods; freebsd-update when I'm using a GENERIC kernel with no changes and the traditional method when the source has been altered, the kernel is customized or the processor is not supported under freebsd-update.

I would like to create another list of those same good guys that can be added to each day as they show up, then compare it to the above main list and delete the good guy domains before adding to the access.db. Greylisting will be much more effective than this approach, and is easier to implement. Combine that with sbl-xbl and maybe a few other DNSBLs, add greet_pause of five or ten seconds, and you have much more effectiveness with less false positives and much less maintenance.

strange events
Greetings to all, And, please forgive me if this is a bone-head question(s). I'm running, once again after 4 years, freebsd 4.2. In KDE, with netscape or kfm I can only access my own web domain, which is www.oldpathsbaptistchurch.org No matter what else I put into the URL box and submit, it trys to find the other URLs, but then resorts back to www.oldpathsbaptistchurch.org. I must have done something wrong in initial setup/config, but after checking through lots of stuff, I see no reason for this to happen. Also, I get STOP error code 1s when I try to make lynx from the ports collection. Could someone have a little pity on this old stoner from the 60's and lend some advice? Thanks in advance, Z.

Check out /etc/resolve.conf Make sure that it references a valid upstream dns server. Check out man resolv.conf to finger out what it does. It did the same in 4.2.
