Re: FreeBSD challenged by Internet
Hi Bob, As I am ad administrator of an ISP that is a DSL ISP that offers DSL, and also runs FreeBSD on it's servers, I am going to address your point. The problem your having is present on MANY of these some box(s) which connects me to to net Generally, it's older Linksys and Netgear routers that are the worst offenders. The newer devices don't generally have this problem - the manufacturers aren't completely stupid, and do learn from their mistakes - bot not always. I'm still seeing stupid crap like this in even the latest boxes. Now, here's where I'm going to take you somewhat to task. You have to understand some things about marketing these boxes. When a company like Airlink101 produces a cable/DSL ethernet router and sells it for $30, or a company like 2 Wire, or Westell, or ActionTec, produces a DSL modem/router combo that sells for $60, it is absolutely impossible for them to make a profit doing this unless they configure their support offering so that the quality of technical support you get is on the level of that which would be provided by your average 6 year old. Also, these companies simply cannot afford to put their best programming and design talent on solving things like slow DNS resolver queries through their proxy, when these problems are reported. Instead when they get these problems, they spend the RD money and talent they have building next year's model - which is then sold for another $30, next year. Slow DNS queries are just one of the problems on a very long, long, long laundry list of problems with these small cheapo routers. Yet, do the customers that actually have these devices, after going through 2 or 3 of them in that many years, actually stop one day and say Gee, I'm really stupid to keep urinating my money away on these cheezy little routers when I could spend $600 on a nice new Cisco 800 series and get expert Cisco support on it, and it would work and I could then just forget about it Of course not. So, who do you think ends up picking up the slack? I'll tell you, it's us ISP's that's who. If you were our DSL customer and you called in with this problem, we would have known immediately what it was, and instructed you in how to correct the configuration. In your case the absolute best way is to ditch your router and turn on pppoe on your BSD box and config your DSL modem out of routing mode and into bridging mode. Or your cable modem, or whatever. You wouldn't get that as a response if you were running Windows - since Windows attracts security crackers like dog shit attracts flies - but any UNIX - be it Linux, MacOS X or whatever, you would get that response. Anyway, I think you should have availed yourself of your ISP's tech support department first. And if your ISP's support department stinks - some unfortunately do - then drop service and get a better one. There's plenty more ISP's in the phone book.

I had a tricky, confusing problem getting FreeBSD on the net but I was able to solve it with help from this list.. Ian Smith in particular. The DHCP lease from my ISP set the nameserver address as being 192.168.1.254, the IP of some box which connects me to to net. Correct me if wrong, but whois would not reveal a nameserver IP in this form for a net host. Linux accepted this but FreeBSD-6.1 had 10 second delays in TCP connects for mail and web pages. This does not imply a problem with BSD. It probably implies that Linux is more tolerant of loosely configured web services. But in the world of security it's casual configuration considered harmful. I spent many hours reading and testing before hitting on a solution in dhclient.conf. I think this would be discouraging for most FreeBSD newbies. But making setup a no-brainer does not seem possible. It is difficult to provide a quality, standards-compliant OS unless all net-citizens share that focus on quality. Just my 2cents.

Incorrect kernel time on laptop boot
Hi the list, I currently experienced a problem with my Sony Vaio VGN-FE31B laptop. Each time I boot, the kernel time seems to be set with the wrong date time. When I poweroff the machine, wait for some minutes and reboot again, the kernel time is set with a few seconds after the wrong time on shutdown. Is it some kind of wrong bios clock used, that completely stopped when poweroff ? I use a FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT, from the 14th of January 2007. I tried the snapshot FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT-200610, no time problem. With snapshot FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT-200611, the time problem appears. I will provide you the dmesg output, when I will come back home. I have also followed the instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#LAPTOP-CLOCK-SKEW with no success. Any ideas ?

Re: Transport Mode IPSEC
You don't trust your own switch? Your making a common mistake here. Your confusing application security with environment security. If an environment is insecure you cannot make it secure by mucking with the application. (ie: hiding it in a tunnel) for example you cited arp cache poisoning on an ethernet network. running ipsec will not protect against this. If your ethernet environment is insecure (ie: your using unmanaged switches) and it's got hostiles on it, you can run all the ipsec you want, an attacker can DoS your NFS server with an arp cache poison, no problem. Or, assume the MAC of your default gateway and knock all users offline. If you correct the environment security, then the application is protected. For example, you put in a decent managed switch, you setup rate-limiting on it, you setup MAC/IP address filters, and your now secure on your local LAN. Basically, what your trying to do - use ipsec to encrypt nfs on a local lan - is unnecessary, adds overhead, and what you want to have happen is better done by other mechanisms. If your running NFS over a WAN connection where ipsec encryption would have some validity, well, NFS isn't a good protocol for such a connection. Copying a file is going to be slow. WANs are unreliable and you don't want your NFS mounts vanishing without being umounted. sftp would be a much better choice I think. NFS isn't inherently insecure unless it's improperly deployed. I would consider deploying NFS on a hostile ethernet network that is not secured, to be an improper deployment and I think any security professional would agree. This discussion is like when Microsoft made packet signing mandatory in SMB in Windows XP. They said this will enhance the security of SMB No it didn't. SMB packets in Real Life are almost always on a local LAN, and most of those are switched. All that did is break connecitons to UNIX Samba servers (which was probably the real reason they did it) Ted - Original Message - From: Dan Mahoney, System Admin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ted Mittelstaedt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2007 12:06 AM Subject: Re: Transport Mode IPSEC On Wed, 17 Jan 2007, Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Dan, You do realize, don't you, that since both of these hosts are on a switch, and are using unicast traffic to communicate with each other, that they cannot be sniffed, don't you?

Re: What is this mean by this term
Unfortunately all Micro$lop 'standard' email clients and a few others put the cursor at the top of the email, so the bad habit has developed across the world both domestically and in businesses, to write there, rather than continuing the email thread at the bottom. This behavior of business-oriented email systems (not just M$ -- CC:Mail does the same thing IIRC) may have originated with customer preference. The reasoning, which *does not* apply to News or to archived email lists, goes something like this: * A good many business threads start out as informal conversations between two, or among a few, often not including any archived mailing list. It is not at all uncommon for such a thread to develop a need for a larger audience along the way, and in such cases those joining later need a way to review the entire history -- not just a few selective quotes which at best were intended to remind participants of the context. The critical aspect is that, by the time the participants realize that this particular discussion really should have been archived, it's a bit late in the game to do so; thus this argument clearly does not apply to lists which are archived at the outset. * To allow for that eventuality, some (many?) businesses encourage participants in informal discussion threads to retain the whole message history (so that, when someone needs to be added mid- stream, the history is inherently included with the forwarded message). This argument implicitly presumes that email bandwidth, and to a lesser extent storage, are of little consequence -- which certainly was not true of widely-distributed lists in the days when most message traffic was carried over voice-grade phone lines at 9600 BPS or less and a *large* disk farm contained maybe 1GB! * If one is going to retain the whole history anyway, it is easier for the recipients to read the latest contribution at the top. The only time someone has to navigate to the bottom is when they initially become involved in an ongoing discussion. The bottom line is that top-posting makes no sense at all in News, or on an archived email list, because the history can easily be retrieved as needed. It may have a legitimate place in unarchived, informal discussions, especially in business situations where the audience may need to expand. Outfits like M$ probably believe, and perhaps with some justification, that most of their customers fall into the latter usage pattern. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: md5sum is missing, but not entirely
The command to calculate md5 sums is 'md5', not 'md5sum', and it is part of the base. ... Not sure why apropos md5 shows md5sum and gmd5sum (g for gnu?), maybe it's from a port. I also suspect that gmd5sum is a link to md5sum or vice versa. gmd5sum is indeed from a port, but md5sum does not exist at all on my system, either as an executable or as a manpage. md5 does exist, as both an executable and a manpage. Either md5 or gmd5sum can be used to verify downloads; as someone else mentioned they produce the same results (although formatted differently). The coreutils package installs the GNU utilities that form the basis of Linux distributions - grep, chmod etc. Since most of these names clash with the FreeBSD base system, the binaries all get renamed with a g prefix. The GNU docs still internally refer to them with their original names e.g. man gmd5sum will refer to md5sum It still seems like a bug that apropos includes md5sum(1) in its output, when no such manpage exists. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I wouldn't have expected these things to be tested against *BSD, but you would think that OS-X would behave like FreeBSD. Yet, do the customers that actually have these devices, after going through 2 or 3 of them in that many years, actually stop one day and say Gee, I'm really stupid to keep urinating my money away on these cheezy little routers when I could spend $600 on a nice new Cisco 800 series and get expert Cisco support on it, and it would work and I could then just forget about it Draytek is a useful halfway house for domestic and soho use - I've never heard anyone have a bad word to say about their wired dsl-routers. Cisco is overkill for most people. config your DSL modem out of routing mode and into bridging mode. That's doesn't really buy you all that much, cheap hardware isn't going to be more reliable in bridged-mode. DNS proxy problems are not a big deal since it's easy to manually configure servers, or turn-on recursive lookups. It does eliminate the problems that some NAT routers have with large numbers of simultaneous connections though. These problems is particularly acute in countries where PPPoA is the norm. FreeBSD has no significant support for usb or pci PPPoA modems, that leaves us with routers, half-bridge modems, and full-bridging (where the ISP supports PPPoE over atm). And these bridged modems are really just adapted nat-routers. I do envy Linux's support for pci PPPoA modems. Anyway, I think you should have availed yourself of your ISP's tech support department first. And if your ISP's support department stinks - some unfortunately do - then drop service and get a better one. There's plenty more ISP's in the phone book. I doubt there is any reasonably priced ISP that will help in troubleshooting a problem that's not reproducible on Windows. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have you had a look in the ports tree to see if you can find Hobbit there?
Otherwise, gmake is available from ports/devel/gmake, just do cd
ports/devel/gmake and make install clean and then you've got it.
Then you do MAKE=gmake ./configure-server or whatever in the source
catalog for hobbit.
The thing that might be weird is that FreeBSD installs ports in
/usr/local/[bin,sbin] by default, you'll proably end up with hobbit in
/usr/[bin,sbin] if you don't install it from ports. See if you can
find a configure parameter to set the install directory to where you
want to install hobbit.

cvsnt setup howto
Anyone got a running cvsnt (built from ports on 6.1release)? Followed their linux wiki exactly, and I get nothing, so I suspect there is something you need to do on bsd? Added cvs-related items to the services file, inetd.conf, rc.conf, and edited the /usr/local/etc/cvsnt/PServer file. Looks like it's not actually running - pserver, sserver, sspi all get nobody home messages when trying to connect from localhost. Anyone setup the :ssh method on bsd? Seems sensible as I have sshd functioning. Do I need to mess around with anything samba related to get sserver working from windows clients (I know I do for sspi obviously), I wouldn't think so, but I've been wrong in such matters before...

ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address
Hello, Let me preface this mail by saying: I'm an idiot. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, you don't have to say it! I have a piece of networking equipment that does not have a factory defaults button on it. it has to be RMA'd and returned to the manufacturer if you can't remember login credentials (forgot username,pass/IP, etc) I was assigning the unit an IP address of 172.20.1.x but I typod it. 127.20.1.x and as you can guess, I can't connect to the unit from any other device now. 127.x is loopback. I have tried assigning a 127.20.1.x address to an ethernet interface in a FreeBSD box, and removinging the 127.0.0.1/8 on localhost. I've also gone into the routing table, and removed all traces of routes for 127.x and finally, *tried* creating a route for 127.20.1.x to go out the ethernet interface (link #2) The problem with everything above is: no matter what ip/subnet combination I use, I get a message (when adding the route) that the network is unreachable. Then, when I try to ping the device from the fbsd box, I get ping: sendto: Can't assign requested address My question is: Is it possible in any way, to change the 127 routing to pass out my ethernet card long enough to re-ip this device? I haven't yet come up with a decent solution.

Newbie Libcap Installation Question

Are there any decent proxy servers that I can put them on to see where they are going? -Tom I have recently installed Dansguardian + Squid onto 6.1-REALEASE. My approach was not as an in-line, but rather transparent mode. Our proxy server is in the DMZ. All outbound http requests from the LAN are redirected at the firewall to the server in the DMZ. This approach eliminates users ability to by-pass the proxy, as no changes to browser settings are made. If the proxy dies, all I need to do (temporarily) is disable the redirector in the firewall. So far, this setup works rather well. There are plenty of free tools for analyzing the logs. The plus for us, by incorporating Dansguardian, is the ability to further customize what is acceptable and what's not. ~ Don ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ssh public key authentification

To clarify this: I haven't really tried this on any other FreeBSD system recently though. I'm probably just to thick to get it right, so go ahead and insult me, if you see the flaw in my scheme. :-) The main idea behind my evil plan is to be able to log into my other computers on the net (LAN) using PuTTY on a Windows-XP box without having to type my password all the time. Don't worry about the security aspect if my key could be stolen, I have taken other measures to avoid that. The whole thing should be pretty trivial: I created a key using PuTTY, copied the public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (everthing in one line), chose the private key in PuTTY and tried to log in. All I got in response was: Server refused out key. I went through all the default settings of the sshd (and yes, I did give it a HUP, when I changed the key) and everything checked out as far as I could tell. I had the feeling that PuTTY and the key created by it were the cause, so I created a key with ssh-keygen(1). Same result. What did I miss?

Re: md5sum is missing, but not entirely

Not sure why apropos md5 shows md5sum and gmd5sum (g for gnu?), maybe it's from a port. I also suspect that gmd5sum is a link to md5sum or vice versa. gmd5sum is indeed from a port, but md5sum does not exist at all on my system, either as an executable or as a manpage. md5 does exist, as both an executable and a manpage. Either md5 or gmd5sum can be used to verify downloads; as someone else mentioned they produce the same results (although formatted differently). The coreutils package installs the GNU utilities that form the basis of Linux distributions - grep, chmod etc. Since most of these names clash with the FreeBSD base system, the binaries all get renamed with a g prefix. The GNU docs still internally refer to them with their original names e.g. man gmd5sum will refer to md5sum It still seems like a bug that apropos includes md5sum(1) in its output, when no such manpage exists. Bug in that port's manpage. Talk to the port maintainer or fix it yourself and submit the patch. Kris pgpfZiT0OHhDp.pgp Description: PGP signature

Mobile IPv6
I would like to ask you a few questions. I am trying to implement an IPv6 testbed as a part of my thesis. Following the instructions for the 4.9 release and using 6.2 I tried to recompile the Kernel but there are not options for IPv6.Does mobile IPv6 supported by the current release (6.2)? Do I have to use the snap from KAME project or MIPv6 is already embedded in the release? If this is the case, I will have only to manipulate rc.conf and rtadvd.conf. Is there any guide how I will configure the MIPv6 in the 6.x release?

Have you had a look in the ports tree to see if you can find Hobbit there?
Yes, no port is available.
Otherwise, gmake is available from ports/devel/gmake, just do cd
ports/devel/gmake and make install clean and then you've got it.
added gmake before hand. # make, then # make install clean
gcc and g++ are also installed.
Then you do MAKE=gmake ./configure-server or whatever in the source
catalog for hobbit.
Not sure what the source catalog is??
from /hobbit-4.2.0 folder
don-bsd# ./configure
Configuration script for Hobbit
This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Hobbit
Checking your make-utility
GNU make is required to build Hobbit.
If it is available as gmake, run configure as: 'MAKE=gmake
./configure.server'

I can see that this message is from the file configure.server. Snip
of code below.

Multi Boot Installtion FreeBSd+Fedora+Debian
Hello, I had 3 OS installed on 40 GB IDE hard disk, Windows nt+ Debian + Fedora recently I decided to completely remove windows from my pc and install FreeBSD 6.1, 2nd IDE I use for data backup only. I deleted windows partition installed on the primary partition, with the fdisk utility of FreeBSD installation. After saving changes, I rebooted machine to reconfirm, and read manual again, to avoid data loss. Now with the FreeBSD 6.1 installation cd , Installations stops after detecting my hard disk. I unplugged my 2nd IDE (with data) as it sometimes it shows me data read error thinking it may causing problem. Still the problem is same, i can not proceed beyond the detection of my first IDE detection. my partitions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hdc: 40.0 GB, 40060403712 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4870 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 383486936041827+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hdc3 2 342 2725632 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hdc5 * 383 395 104359+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc6 396 777 3068383+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc7 7781414 5116671 83 Linux /dev/hdc814151541 1020096 83 Linux /dev/hdc915421605 514048+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc10 16061987 3068383+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc11 19882116 1036161 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hdc12 21172129 104391 83 Linux /dev/hdc13 21302320 1534176 83 Linux /dev/hdc14 23212384 514048+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc15 23853276 7164958+ 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order and [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 22 0 39121488 hdc 22 1 1 hdc1 22 32725632 hdc3 22 5 104359 hdc5 22 63068383 hdc6 22 75116671 hdc7 22 81020096 hdc8 22 9 514048 hdc9 22103068383 hdc10 22111036161 hdc11 2212 104391 hdc12 22131534176 hdc13 2214 514048 hdc14 22157164958 hdc15 22162723616 hdc16 I reinstalled the grub 2 times,, still the problem is same.

My approach was not as an in-line, but rather transparent mode. Our proxy server is in the DMZ. All outbound http requests from the LAN are redirected at the firewall to the server in the DMZ. This approach eliminates users ability to by-pass the proxy, as no changes to browser settings are made. If the proxy dies, all I need to do (temporarily) is disable the redirector in the firewall. So far, this setup works rather well. There are plenty of free tools for analyzing the logs.

Hi Anuj,
what does exactly happen? what part of the installation process ? If you are
already in the ncurses interface, you can switch to another VT (Alt-F2 throught
to F4 at least should work ), where far more detailed information about the
installation process is shown. I think Alt-F2 should give you a console where
you can issue some commands to see what's going on.
