I'll try to follow up to two posts instead of replying twice, so I hope nobody gets confused here. :-) On 04/01/07, Vizion [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message From: Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED] Many shells keep a history as a matter of normal operation. You might find that enough for you. Personally, I use bash, and the command history brings the last 100 commands or so. No, this isn't sufficient. The problems are: 1) occasionally the sysadmin people at the server farm do stuff 2) sometimes I edit files, and of course the shell doesn't record how 3) the shell history seems erratic! It remembers the session clearly, but if I reboot, for example, and look at the history, it's not what I would expect it to be. The history function of many modern shell is configurable. The number of commands being saved can be changed, as well as the behaviour regarding different ttys (so you might have different histories for different ttys you're coming from). The history function uses a file, so you rely on this file being written to disk. In case you reboot the machine it's possible that the history of the current session is lost. Take a look at the script command. It saves a typescript of everything being typed during a terminal session. So you've got your own copy without the need of a working and reliable history. And as Richard Lynch suggests it, using a versioning system like CVS or SVN might be a good idea. Or, as a simpler aproach: Just create a backup of a file before you touch it, for example by copying it to someplace else, and/or by adding a timestamp. I am not certain if you are using X or console. On X windows you can set the size of the history to your liking - I usually set to unlimited. Then, as frequently as one wishes, save the session to a log file. I have not found any problem with history not being the history. Are you talking about X windows or KDE or GNOME? Normally, any x based terminal executes a shell, so the history is still controlled by the shell being used. If you're using Konsole or gnome-terminal, it's possible that you can configure the history somewhere in the terminals gui, but in this case the terminal sends the apropriate commands to configure the history. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Advice on which FreeBSD firewall package to choose.
Le 05/01/2007 à 10:25:30+1300, Brett Davidson a écrit Before I start, I'm familiar with IPTables from Linux but am wanting to use FreeBSD as a firewalling router after seeing it in action on a heavily-loaded webserver. I like the efficiency of the TCP stack. Upon reading the handbook I found that I can have my choice of three firewalls; pf, iptables and ipfw. What would be the most useful (and easiest) package to use given the following scenario: A FreeBSD router comprising of four physical interfaces - Eth0 is the outside 10Mbyte/s cable connection to the Internet. Eth1 is a 100Mbit DMZ housing a webserver. Eth2 is a 100Mb DMZ housing a 802.11g Wireless Access Router. (My normal preference is to isolate Wireless LANs from physical LANS). Eth3 is the inside LAN. Software-based VPN connections out from both the Inside LAN and Wireless DMZ are required. (Allowing VPN tunnels through the firewall; not tunnels terminated at the firewall). Against prudence, they wish to allow torrent connections to the inside lan and ICQ connections to both the Inside LAN and the Wireless DMZ. The torrent and ICQ connections will need to be bandwidth-managed so that is a major consideration for the choice of which firewall to use. Is there an equivalent to HTB on FreeBSD? I look forward to your answers... I've using ipfw and pf for this. If you've some knowlegde on Cisco ACL you can use ipfw (it's first match-use). pf have some very usefull features. With pf it's last match first-use, and it's more easy to add some ACL with pf for a script (like ssh_bruteforce).

I believe you can sort-of do this with a certain amount of packet redirection and firewall trickery, but it isn't very easy and you won't be able to control anything to do with the VPN from within the jail. Essentially you do the old trick of creating the jail using an alias address on the loopback, then add redirection rules in the firewall to forward traffic to it. If you need to create tap, tun of gif interfaces to run the VPN software then that has to be done *outside* the jail, as there's no simple way of making those interfaces visible inside it. It doesn't help now, but there is work underway to make the whole network stack clonable under FreeBSD -- meaning each jail gets the ability to have as many IP numbers as it wants, and to have a separate firewall from the host system and do all the other networking tricks you can think of. http://www.tel.fer.hr/zec/papers/zec-03.pdf Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Question: - How to solve this thorny performance problem? -Bob- You might want to run tcpdump and monitor one of those slow loads. Include the timestamp in the output and see what it is doing during that time. I would tend to suspect DNS timeouts. tcpdump confirms there is a ten second delay as seen on the browser. 1. there are some UDP packets to/from the nameserver. 2. nothing happens for ten seconds 3. now there is a TCP connection tcpdump: listening on vr0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), 17:34:07.537419 proto: UDP (17) 192.168.1.102.53032 192.168.1.254.domain: 45959+ A? www.google.ca.

(31) Then you ask for www.google.ca's IPv6 address. Do you really want that? You get no response on that, but maybe you're prepared to wait for it, ie are you somehow relying on getting an IPv6 address, and if so, why? 17:34:07.868410 IP proto: UDP (17) 192.168.1.102.61375 192.168.1.254.domain: 48085+ PTR? 254.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. (44) You then ask for your gateway's IP address, by name. Hmm. But you get no response to that query.

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. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to
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?

Need to make sure my understanding of newsyslog is correct for a daemon I'm writing
Hi everybody, I'm working on the finishing touches to a server program I've just written and one of the things it needs to log information to a log file. I'm going to log to /var/log/file.log and to manage the growth I'm going to add this log file to the newsyslog.conf file. However, I'd like to make sure that the code I'm writing will work with how newsyslog is going to work. Basically, I'm installing a signal handler for SIGHUP to do the following: reset the put pointer to the beginning of the file; flush any data that may be in the buffer; close the file; reopen file; Does this sound correct? I'm going on the assumption (and this is what I want to have clarified) that newsyslog, when it finds that file x meets the rotate criteria, follows these steps: 1) copy file x contents to x.0 2) truncate file x to zero bytes 3) send SIGHUP to process id Is this how newsyslog would truncate the file? Am I missing something? Should my signal handler function look differently?

Correct if you desire to truncate your own log file. Don't move to the beginning. Just flush any pending data to exactly where you were going to write them in the first place. 1) copy file x contents to x.0 Not copy, rename. Can rename a file out from under a process that the process will still have the original (renamed) file open. 2) truncate file x to zero bytes No, it creates a new file of zero bytes with the original name. 3) send SIGHUP to process id Yes, and now your process has the renamed x.0 open. SIGHUP is asking you to finish up, close, and open the new x file. You have 10 seconds before the optional compression starts. Is this how newsyslog would truncate the file? Am I missing something? Should my signal handler function look differently? You could log by the Open-append, Write, Close, method for each entry. Don't ask newyslog to SIGHUP you at all. Much simpler. Extra open/closes probably don't cost anything measurable. Or you could log via syslogd. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Best Cheap Wireless card for FreeBSD
Me any mine have been having good luck with Atheros chipsets of late. OfficeDepot (USA) has their own brand (of which I don't recall as my laptop is at home, but starts with an A), PCMICA card was $35. Have had dhcp problems with the 'wi0' chipset when signal is poor (drops on/off frequently). Earlier posts led to a suspicion that replacing dhclient with ?dhcp3? from ports might solve the problem but was never tested. The wi0 chipsets have definitely been around the longest, and used to give the most detailed signal strength info with netstumbler on win2k. I also saw some techie site had Atheros cards with big amplifiers on them - up to 400mW, but obviously, those were more in the $75 range than $35.

RE: routing and networking help. (urgent help please)
FIXED, ignore this email.. However no one has answered. Hello Gurus, This is an Urgent help, as everything pending, waiting.. a FreeBSD Solution. and I appologize if I will explain in details, please be patient with me. Just yesterday, our ISP installed 2 routers (both 3com) at our main office. One router acting for Datalink between the office and the branch (datarouter) One for the internet connection.(internet router) one short cable connected from the internet router to datalink router So everyone on the WAN has internet access which we donot want. So we decided to have our FreeBSD 6.1-R server, managing all the job. So I installed a FreeBSD box, with NATd enabled, this is how it works Internet router --- rl0 192.168.0.3 freebsd dc0 192.168.1.1 --- switch --- all clinets also a cat5 cable hookedup from the datalink router to the switch. So the switch having the clinets+datalink router + lan freebsd cable. The datalink router connected to the branch site also WAN. the internet router has the following configurations. IP 192.168.0.2 gateway 192.168.0.254 and the datalink configuration has the follow gateway 192.168.0.253 WAN (branch site) IPs of 192.168.2.xx gateway 192.168.0.254 ALL can ping each other and see each other..(if there is no freebsd server) also wan works perfectly.. with no FreeBSD server.. Here is the problem the problem when I configure my fbsd lan interface to 192.168.1.1 and my clinets will have the IP 192.168.1.x/24 with gateway 192.168.0.254 wthey will have the internet.. and will NOT see any datalink clients, nor will see the WAN on the branch site. (diffrences of IPs and gateways) because clinets directed to the fbsd server which regonize 192.168.0.254 (internet router) If I configure my clients behind fbsd nat server to IPs of 192.168.0.x/24 and gateway 192.168.0.253 (Insted of 192.168.1.x and gw 192.168.0.254) they will see the datalink and wan but no internet. How would I make all clinets have my fbsd lan ips 192.168.1.x/24 and freebsd will have the ability to see the two gateways 192.168.0.254 (internet router) and 192.168.0.253 (datalink router) In short words, all clinets should be connected to FreeBSD server lan interface but in the same time, freebsd will route and manage to the requests for wan. Second problem: If i have rl0 to host my internet router real IP and defautlrouter to the NAT ip, internet will not work. ifconfig_rl0=inet 62.215.x.6 netmask 255.255.255.252 defaultrouter=62.215.x.5 #internet router IP No Internet. but if i host my rl0 to 192.168.0.3 and defaultrouter to 192.168.0.254 (internet router gateway) internet will work... ifconfig_rl0=inet 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 defaultrouter=192.168.0.254 The first case, disabling nat from router and having it to freebsd only second case, having the router to NAT and again freebsd doing another nat.

Both servers are using gigabit cards through a gigabit switch. Lots of potential reasons for it being slow, but on a guess, unless a majority of what you are backing up are text files you will not save very much space by compressing (video and music (or .mp3, .ogg, .avi, .mpg, etc.) are already compressed much better than gzip can) but will incur huge time penalties for redundant and redundant compres- sion. A mirror should result in little or no slowdown in reads (if it is not faster, I cannot recall). The bottleneck may be your network, which would require expertise beyond me to diagnose.

Yes, if you have defeated the security features of your mail server either accidentally or on purpose, but that is not what is happening in this case. There appears to be a recurrance (or mutation) of a virus we have seen before. The mail is not originating on your server. Your domain is being spoofed by the infected computer(s). The forged mail probably would not escape detection by a knowledgeable human, but it is good enough to fool some autoresponders and mail tossers, which is why you get the bounces. -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Pulling a patch release using cvsup

I've tried using the date of a specific patch from /usr/src/UPDATING but that does not work. Using dates is certainly a possibility, but you have to be a bit careful about the date format. CVSup will accept dates of the format: .mm.dd.HH.MM.SS Where: = year mm = month dd = month day [01..28, 01..30 or 00..31, depending on the month] HH = hours MM = minutes SS = seconds The format is also described in the manpage of cvsup: #date=[cc]yy.mm.dd.hh.mm.ss #This specifies a date that should be used to select the #revisions that are checked out from the CVS repository. The #client will receive the revisions that were in effect at the #specified date and time. # #At present, the date format is inflexible. All 17 or 19 #characters must be specified, exactly as shown. For the years #2000 and beyond, specify the century cc. For earlier years, #specify only the last two digits yy. Dates and times are #considered to be GMT. The default date is `.', which means #``as late as possible''. Thus, you can update to a particular date *within* the RELENG_4 branch, by using both a tag=RELENG_4 and a date=2007.01.05.22.00.00 :) Please note that the dates specified in date=YY.mm.dd.HH.MM.SS format are in UTC, so if you are living in a different timezone, some adjustments may be necessary. - Giorgos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

disappointing rebuild speed using ggatec and ggated
I'm attempting a RAID 1 mirror with ggate[c,d] between two hosts using 6.1-release and am disappointed by the rebuild rate. I have tried using Ethernet cards supported by fxp and re drivers, have read advice on how to tune to improve network performance. I have also attempted ggate[c,d] configuration using an md rather than ad device but can't seem to figure out what might cause the problem being encountered. Searching the lists and web has lead make the following modifications. *** These are quadruple what the defaults were on my system*** sysctl net.inet.tcp.sendspace=131072 sysctl net.inet.tcp.recvspace=262144 sysctl kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=1048576 sysctl kern.ipc.nmbclusters=35584 *** Kernel config *** options HZ=8000 options DEVICE_POLLING *** ifconfig*** enable POLLING on each machine with re0 With the following modifications, my rebuild has improved. Instead of stalling out at 2% (of a 146G mirror) the rebuild seems to steadily continue albeit very slowly. Today an entire manual rebuild (non auto sync for gm device) took over 17 hours over a crossover cable between two re interfaces. I don't expect that the rebuild would happen at wire speed but guess it might be possible to finish in less than 4 hours. I do not have the gm device or ggate device mounted on the primary host during the rebuild. I am not connecting to either the primary or failover host for any services. ( I hope this communicates that both hosts are not taxed by external sources ) Using systat –vm 1 shows that the machine comes close to 0% idle while the mirror is actually rebuilding. Using gstat shows that the ggate device on the primary comes close to 100% busy while the mirror is actually rebuilding. For some reason the rebuild seems to stop (systat –vm 1 goes to 80% idle, and gstat goes to 0% busy for ggate) every once in a while. I can't pin point why it stops rebuilding and hope that I have just missed someone commenting that I should do something obvious to fix this issue.
