Removed the extras (qmail-scanner, clamav, spamassasin) and still the same.
No problem receiving any mail, just when is sending it.

Anyone had a similar problem ever?

   If you have current backups, it's a yellow alert.  Otherwise...
  
   And what do I do about it?
  
   umount and fsck everything a lot?

Once should do :)  It's possible to have read errors, from a write error
say on unclean power removal, that don't indicate a drive fault at all.

   swap cards/drives around until it stops?
   Ignore it and pray?

The latter is or at least was listed as a backup strategy in the docs :)
 
   Try installing the sysutils/smartmontools port and run a drive self-
   test.  That will give you a much better assessment of the state of
   the drive and whether it is likely to completely fail in the next 24
   hours...
  
  I ran the short test on the problem drives, and it said everything was
  fine.
  
  I'll try the long test at a later date.

Show us the result of 'smartctl -a drive' after a test or two.

  Meanwhile, I turned on the smartd daemon, and am seeing two issues in
  the logs...
  
  #1. The drive temperatures seem ridiculously high to this naive
  reader, but what do I know?...
  110 to 190 Celcius?  Yikes...  Or maybe that's normal?
  How hot is too hot?

As [EMAIL PROTECTED] pointed out, 100C is too hot.  I don't believe
those 110 to 190 numbers at all and suspect a drive would melt down at
anything near that.  Maybe these are Farenheit temperatures?

While perryh's advice about airflow and enclosures etc was spot on, I
suspect you need to check whether your particular drives may need some
corrective parameters if not fully covered by the smartctl database, as
some tend to do.  There are hints about this in smartctl(8) -v option.

  #2. Sequences like this show up a fair amount:
  Device: /dev/ad2, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 3 Spin_Up_Time changed
  from 152 to 153
  Device: /dev/ad2, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 3 Spin_Up_Time changed
  from 153 to 152
  Device: /dev/ad0, SMART Prefailure Attribute: 8 Seek_Time_Performance
  changed from 251 to 250

It'd be more useful to see these within the context shown by smartctl -a

  So is the real problem just that the drives are spun down and can't
  spin up fast enough? I can probably live with the consequences of
  that, and just go on with life -- The occasional HTTP request for an
  audio file will fail the first time, and they have to hit reload.
  
  This box is the fail-safe roll-over server for audio files that are
  all up online somewhere else managed by a professional (not me), so
  it's no surprise that the rare time-out on the real server also ends
  up with a drive spin up and failed request on the backup.  Kind of
  annoying, I guess, to an end user, but forcing the drives to always be
  spinning is probably not a Good Idea.

I don't know about that; while I wouldn't worry too much about spin-up
times unless it's a major annoyance to clients, I've always subscribed
to drives lasting much longer if left spinning.  The server delivering
this mail has spun its old IBM DTLA-something drive 24h/365d for nearly
9 years now, despite no aircon in a hot climate (up to ~45C in summer).

  Oh, here's a rather long excerpt of the log in case there's minutae
  within it that I've failed to include:
  http://l-i-e.com/smartd.log

The output of smartctl -a for one or two of your drives would likely be
much more indicative.  I don't claim to be an expert in this at all, but
some of us might spot any obvious anomalies.

How to update fstab (or other) in Single User (read only fs)

I need to edit fstab to delete a geom mirror dev in order to boot my PC

(because geom mirror device not ok) and then go to Single User mode.

In this mode I can´t edit fstab, because there is not editor working (I´ve

How can I do this? I think there must be a way to do it, isn't it?

You have to remount / rw, try mount -uw / from the command line prompt
you get when you are in single user mode, then use vi /etc/fstab or
/rescue/vi /etc/fstab if the regular vi won't work.

syslog from Cisco - FreeBSD not working

2007-02-06 Thread Ewald Jenisch
Hi,

I'm running into a problem configuring my syslogd in order to accept
messages from Routers (Cisco).


Here's what I did in my syslog.conf:
local7.*/var/log/cisco-syslog

Fields are separated by tabs of course

In /etc/rc.conf I've got the following:
syslogd_flags=-a 192.168.0.0/16
matching my local network.

Unfortunately I don't see anything in my syslog from the router(s). I
fired up tcpdump and sure enough the syslog-packets originating from
the router hit my machine.

To further track this down I changed the above line in syslog.conf to
read

+myrouter
local7.*/var/log/cisco-syslog
+*

Again, no syslog messages.

Next try:
/etc/syslog.conf:
local7.*/var/log/debug.log

Again, no entry in the log


Sure enough I restared syslogd between every test; also I have the
fields in syslog.conf separted by tabs and the log-files in questions
are existent with and chmod-ed 600.


Any ideas what could be wrong here - or put in another way - has
anybody out there got logging from Ciscos towards a FreeBSD box
running?

TIA for your help!

  $ sudo date 0702050402
  and the output is:
  Mon Feb 5 04:02:00 EET 2007

  Thank you for your attention.
 
 You are doing it correctly. Is it possible that you have something running
 that is changing the time? (ntp, perhaps).
 
 What happened between the time you set the time and when it reset itself?
 
 Also, check your system's securelevel setting, which will prevent manual
 time changes (or limit them to 1s). See the man page for date and
 securelevel.

 Dear Mr. Bill Moran;
   it is right, my securelevel is 2 but when i try to lower it, i get the
 message operation not permitted
   i did it as follow:
   $sudo sysctl -w kern.securelevel=-1
   THE RESULT IS AS FOLLOW:
   kern.securelevel: 2
   sysctl: kern.securelevel: Operation not permitted
   So, would you please tell me how can i change the securelevel in order
 to change the time and then set it (the securelevel) back.
   Thank you for your attention.

It is considered rude to take discussions off the mailing list unless it
has been agreed upon beforehand -- I have added [EMAIL PROTECTED] back
in to the CC.  Additionally, top-posting is discouraged on these mailing
lists.  I have corrected the format and responded in-line below.
Additionally, you seemed to have ignored my request to format your emails
better by wrapping your lines. 

In any event, you can't lower the securelevel on a running system -- that
would defeat the purpose.  Modify the setting in /etc/rc.conf and reboot
your system.

syslog behaving differently with -d (was: syslog from Cisco - FreeBSD not working)

 Hi,
 
 I'm running into a problem configuring my syslogd in order to accept

 Here's what I did in my syslog.conf:

Hi,

A couple of hours after my original question I found out an
interesting point: When running syslogd with the -d (debug-flag)
messages get written into the file configured in /etc/syslog.conf -
when running without the debug-flag nothing gets written.

To be specific:

With the above syslog.conf entry and /etc/rc.conf containting
'syslogd_flags=-d' I get the following output on the console:

cvthname(192.168.9.95)
logmsg: pri 275, flags 0, from switch1-1, msg 1390: Feb 6 13:59:40
MET: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by ej1 on vty0
(192.168.9.16) Logging to FILE /var/log/cisco-syslog

Sure enough this log message is in the cisco-syslog file.

As soon as I turn off debug in syslog (i.e. running without the -d
flag) nothing gets written to the cisco-syslog file.

Why are messages only written to the file when running syslogd in
debug mode??

TIA for any clue,

Probably it's just that someone need to patch it to change

As a workaround try linking portmanager's new port directory to where
its old one was. As there will be a MOVED entry it's probably best to
use it with the new origin, but make sure portmanager is up-to-date
before running it on multiple ports, it wont be able to detect a

Yes, you will have to do a regular 'make install' to get the newer

Makefile knobs

2007-02-06 Thread n j

Hello,

I have a question regarding the various knobs one can set while
building a port. The problem as I see it is that the user usually has
to be a makefile lingo expert (okay, not an expert, but you catch my
drift) to decipher all the various options and set perhaps only the
one he really needs. So, my question is: is there a port that does
that for you? Reads makefile options from a makefile and prints them
out in a nicely ordered way to you? If there's no such port, is it
actually possible to create one (meaning is it possible to get needed
information from a makefile in an automated fashion)?

Thanks,

Thanks a lot, Our current backup system is veritas netbackup,  and changing
that to entire bacula is best thing for me,


May I ask why you would prefer Bacula over NetBackup? I'm just
curious, because having worked with both, I personally prefer
NetBackup.



so they wanted me encrypt these files,  that is on the backup location
before the netbackup scheduler picks up these files.

Database is getting backed up to a disk location and from there netbackup
agent picks up and writes it into the tape , but we have these 13 flat files
that go into offsite which really needs encryption and decryption logic in
place upon   after restore back to disk .


If those databases are all Oracle instances, then you might want to
take a look at Oracle Secure Backup. It does exactly what you need.

More info here:

When I ran through the tests with pmc compiled in there wasnt any

was that the locking overhead was a big penalty and more emphasis was 
put on correctness than speed going from RELENG_4 to RELENG_5 and 
above.  Supposedly the payoff will come as more CPU cores get added 
as there is better potential to scale with this design.  While I did 
see some improvement in the box with SMP compiled in, it still has a 
ways to go for this application




I do hope but will probably be dissapointed stability and robustness

I have found stability to be quite good.  But certainly as a firewall

 Hello,
 
 I have a question regarding the various knobs one can set while
 building a port. The problem as I see it is that the user usually has
 to be a makefile lingo expert (okay, not an expert, but you catch my
 drift) to decipher all the various options and set perhaps only the
 one he really needs. So, my question is: is there a port that does
 that for you? Reads makefile options from a makefile and prints them
 out in a nicely ordered way to you? If there's no such port, is it
 actually possible to create one (meaning is it possible to get needed
 information from a makefile in an automated fashion)?

The portsopt might be what you're looking for:

  Shows WITH(OUT)-knobs of a port makefile and if you want also
  the knobs of all port dependencies.

  WWW: http://www.chruetertee.ch/portsopt/

It has recently moved from the sysutils category to ports-mgmt
category.  Its location will depend on when you last updated your
ports tree.  While it will show various knobs, their purpose may
not be apparent without further investigation.

There are quite a few ports that have an options screen which you
can access by first doing a make config before building and
selecting options. It will store those options in /var/db/ports/...
directories and use them for future builds (man 7 ports for more
info).  I would suspect that more ports will use this approach in the
future.

HTH,

Randy

I'd like to do my bit to support FreeBSD

2007-02-06 Thread Jim Stapleton

I've found quite a few tricks and techniques for handling FreeBSD's
ports system when things go south. I'd like to add them to the
handbook, adding, lets say 4.5.6 - When Ports Attack.

OK, really it'd be more along the lines of 4.5.6 - Installing Ports
When Things Go Wrong

It would give hints that I've aquired over time from the mailing list,
or my own use:
1) config-recursive (my most recent gem aquired from you nice people!)
2) Keeping flag-sets in your make.conf (basically several sets of
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, so if something fails, you can quickly try something
else)
3) How to remove a broken dependancy (read: how to figure the next
port up, the list, and then configure that port to remove the
dependancy)
4) Rolling back your ports tree to an earlier date or dates, but
globally or one port at a time
5) determining which step will fix your problem.


Now, as far as I know this would requre:
1) Downloading the doc group of the ports tree to it's own special
directory, keeping the CVS flags in tact - I should be able to do this
2) Editing the file of interest - trivial beyond belief

syslog from Cisco - FreeBSD - SOLVED

2007-02-06 Thread Ewald Jenisch
Hi,

First of all thanks much to all who responded so quickly to my
question about setting up syslogging in order to accept messages from
Cisco (remote) boxes. 

I could finally get that thing going. Here's what I did - maybe this
is of help to others running into similar problems:

1) In order for syslogd to accept messages from remote machines you've
got to use the -a-flag. Here's what I've got in my /etc/rc.conf:

syslogd_flags=-a 192.168.0.0/16:*

Don't forget the * - it makes sure that syslogd accepts UDP packets
from *every* port on the remote machine, not just the
syslog-port. Typically Cisco-boxes seem to have a high-order
source-port in their syslog-messages.

2) /etc/syslog.conf:
Make sure that the local7-messages coming from Cisco boxes aren't
logged multiple times. Typically the vanilla /etc/syslog.conf coming
with FreeBSD has the following line in /etc/syslog.conf (near the top
of the file):

*.notice;authpriv.none;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/message
s

change this to read

*.notice;local7.none;authpriv.none;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err   
/var/log/messages

This makes sure that any syslog-messages with the local7 facility
don't get written to /var/log/messages.

Get to the end of syslog.conf. Here you'll find something like

!ppp
*.* /var/log/ppp.log

These is the setup for log-entries from ppp. You've got to add the
following line:

!*

This resets logging as per man syslog.conf(5): A program or hostname
specification may be reset by giving the program or hostname as `*'.
Without that line the lines that you add for your Cisco logging at the
end of the file (see below) will only be triggered when coming from
the ppp program which almost never is the case. (You can check this
using the debug-option of syslogd - see below)


3) Add your log-setup for cisco devices at the end of syslog.conf like
so:

local7.*/var/log/Syslog/cisco-syslog


4) Touch and chmod 600 the logfile mentioned above

5) Restart syslogd: /etc/rc.d/syslogd restart

Final thoughts  caveats:

1) Use TABs to separate the entries in /etc/syslog.conf

2) Running syslog in debug-mode (i.e. syslogd_flags=-d... in
etc/rc.conf) is a very helpful tool in tracking down problems. It
keeps syslogd running in the foreground and logs very helpful
information to the console

Be aware though, that syslogd in debug-mode is behaving somewhat
different. It e.g.seems to ignore the -a ... flags that are
otherwise necessary in order for syslog to accept messages from remote
machines, i.e. accepting messages from everywhere even without the -a
flag.


Hope this little receipe helps others going...

Thanks again for all your help,
-ewald

 Thanks much for the info. Sure enough I'd like to try FreeBSD 7 but

 I can get the FreeBSD 7 sources onto that box?

Why not just get the latest ISO of FreeBSD 7? See [1].

 Besides that - how/where should I fetch the FreeBSD 7 sources from?

Hmm, the only way I can think of is fetching the sources in a working
maching, make a tarball of it, burn it on CD and untar the sources in
the blade.

 what cvsup-file should I use? 
 
 Would changing *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6 to something like
 *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7 be enough?

Actually tag would be *default release=cvs tag=., see [2] for details.
But shouldn't matter if you go the ISO^H^H^Heasy ;) way.

and suggestions.  There's also a dedicated mailing list for the
documentation project:
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc
which was very helpful when I was doing my first submits.

Thanks for stepping up to help out!

One hurdle left to switch

2007-02-06 Thread Paul Schmehl
I'm chafing at the bit to get rid of Windows at home and move to FreeBSD. 
I've even got my wife convinced that she wouldn't have any more problems 
with KDE than she presently has with Windows.  (Reality is she'd have less!)


There's just one problem.  I can use gnucash to do my finances, but what do 
I use to do my taxes?  Without that, I'm stuck on Windows ('cause I'm damn 
sure not going to do my taxes by hand!)  I'd be willing to pay for a tax 
program that runs on FreeBSD.  Is there one?

If you do try qemu try building it with kqemu support. qemu does full
emulation (which is needed for running an OS for a different platform).
kqemu allows some of the guest OS instructions to run directly on the
CPU, which is much faster.   kqemu is not as mature as qemu, and if it
doesn't works for you, you will find qemu much slower than vmware

No, it is not the module I am looking for. There is a Net::SMTP::SSL

recovery after power outage

2007-02-06 Thread Marty Landman

My fbsd 6.0 box is having filesystem problems on boot since a blackout
yesterday. Here's a synopsis:

/dev/ad0s1a: clean
/dev/ad0s1d: DEFER FOR BACKGROUND CHECKING
...repeats for ad0s1f  e
then reports error=40UNCORRECTABLE for ad1 (twice) and reports an
unexpected inconsistency for my ad1s1c device which is the primary slave hd.


Tells me to run fsck manually and asks which shell I want. Maybe this is my
fault for not partitioning appropriately, can't get to many commands
including fsck guess it's because of the fs problems.

How can I try and recover from this?

If you can't mount the filesystem that has fsck on it, you're going to
have to boot off a CD (FreeSBIE or the FreeBSD fixit cd) and run fsck
from there.

Portupgrade out of swap - corrupt pkg info...

2007-02-06 Thread Harrison Peter CSA BIRKENHEAD
I updated the ports on my laptop last night ran:

portsnap fetch update

followed by:

portupgrade -arR

This ran normally until it hit vim-gtk2. It built fine but whilst it was 
registering the installation became unresponsive.

Hard rebooted, and found that in /var/log/messages it referred to being out of 
swap (I don't have the exact message to hand).

pkg_info did not show vim as installed, so when portupgrade finished a cd'd to 
/usr/ports/editors/vim and ran make install clean. This installed without error.

However, now when I run pkg_info it reports that the pkg info for vim-gtk2 is 
corrupt.

Could anyone help with 2 questions:

~ How do I fix the package database entry for vim?

~ What might have caused my machine to run out of swap? It was running X and 
twm with 1 xterm open. For hardware it has 256MB RAM and a 470MB swap 
partition. I've not had this problem before.

This is on 6-STABLE from about 2 weeks ago.

Ouch.. you should actually have more swap than that (2*(Physical RAM amount) = 
512MB swap would be a better idea in the future).


As for running out of swap, what are your make options for ruby? Having the 
ruby doc (or whatever it was) option selected ate up a lot of memory on 
machines a few months back; having this option deselected and rebuilding ruby 
fixes the memory bloat.


make config in the lang/ruby* ports directory will yield the desired result 
here.

Well, do as it says - choose a shell and run fsck manually.
Probably you want the default shell = /bin/sh.
The output says ad0s1a is clean, so your fsck should be available.
Just run /sbin/fsck /dev/ad1s1c.   Actually that would be a somewhat
unusual address - what they call a 'dangerously dedicated' disk.
But I think fsck should be able to work through it.

You will probably have to sit there and answer 'y' to a bunch of
prompts or do fsck -y /dev/ad1s1c to force a y to everything.
The fsck that runs at boot pops out and stops the boot if it
runs in to anything it is scared to assume it will fix.   But in
most cases, there isn't anything you can do but answer 'y' anyway.
If that causes something to be lost, you probably wouldn't be able
to recover it anyway.   

When the manual fsck-s all finish - which can take a long time,
then reboot and see what happens.  It should come all the way up.

It the manual fscks don't work, then you may have to try some
extreme tactics to recover things on that partition or abandon

If you end up rebuilding the drive, then the next time make a
FreeBSD slice and then make a partition within that slice to
avoid that 'dangerously dedicated' config.

Good luck,

Well, not according to the FAQ. Here is what it says:

-- What Oracle database versions does Oracle Secure Backup support?
Oracle Secure Backup installs with a native integration of Oracle
Database's via Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN), which supports Oracle9i

So if you're running 9i, you should be alrgiht.

plextor PX-760SA problem

2007-02-06 Thread Stefan Moro

Hello!

I'm having some trouble trying to burn dvd:s using my PX-760SA under FreeBSD.
As far as I know, the DVD-burning software that is available for FBSD
uses the SCSI subsystem and therefore requires atapicam.

My problem is the following:

After Compiling the kernel with the following options
device atapicam
device ata
device scbus
device cd
device pass
The system almost hangs at startup. With almost I mean that when it
tries to recognize the cd0 device it hangs for about 5-10 minutes and
then produces the output:

cd0 at ata2 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
cd0: PLEXTOR DVDR   PX-760A 1.03 Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device
cd0: 3.300MB/s transfers
cd0: @

after that it hangs again.

I've also tried loading the atapicam module with kldload which
generates almost the same behavior.
After kldload I can use the system until I try kldstat or ls /dev
then it hangs for about 5-10 minutes. produces the output

cd0 at ata2 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
cd0: PLEXTOR DVDR   PX-760A 1.03 Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device
cd0: 3.300MB/s transfers
cd0: @

and then hangs again for another couple of minutes, responds to my
commands for a couple of minutes and hangs again and so on.

I tried upgrading the firmware of the PK-760SA to 1.06. Still the same problem

There is no problem using the PX-760SA without atapicam.

dmesg attached. (without atapicam in kernel)

Any help appreciated
//Stefan

If you just want to encrypt the files with a password, openssl works

But you really want to take a look at /usr/ports/security/gnupg.  It
seems all a bit confusing at first, but its a much better way to
encrypt data and manage who has access to decode files without having
to use a common passphrase.

It as well will work across multiple platforms

If you do try qemu try building it with kqemu support. qemu does full

kqemu allows some of the guest OS instructions to run directly on the

Xorg won't start: f86OpenConsole: KDSETMODE KD_GRAPHICS failed

2007-02-06 Thread Kris Maglione
After I upgraded xorg with pkg_add -r, I got this error when trying to 
start it on display :1, vt9, alongside my current session:


Fatal server error:

The previous package was linked against libc.so.5, the new is against 
libc.so.6. The server is mode 6711 and I've tried running it as root, 
also.


It's possible that the libc.so.6 is using newer headers than 
the kernel, and I've built and installed a new kernel, but am reluctant 
to restart without knowing that I'll have a usable X server. Can anyone 
shed any light on the nature of the error message?

HR Block uses strictly Javascript (not sure if it's really AJAX quality, but

Re: FreeBSD Port: R-2.4.1

2007-02-06 Thread Joey Mingrone

Hey Eric, all,

That was the first install attempt of R on this box.  There was no
previous installation.  Also, I tried again with portinstall -Rf R,
which, I believe, reinstalled all the dependencies, but with the same
outcome.

For the line that failed I also went into the directory:

/usr/ports/math/R/work/R-2.4.1/src/main

and changed the original command which was

cc -std=gnu99 -export-dynamic -L/usr/local/lib -o R.bin Rmain.o -L../../lib -lR

to

gcc42 -std=gnu99 -export-dynamic -L/usr/local/lib -o R.bin Rmain.o
-L../../lib -lR -lgcc_s

and the command worked (note I changed cc to gcc42 and added -lgcc_s)

Any other ideas?

ssh allows you to execute many commands, one being rm. Example:

There's also gftp which can use ssh / sftp if you like GUI.

Should work. There's no srm (secure rm), you simply ssh to the machine

You're going to run into issues if you use gcc-4.2 (an alpha gcc compiler), 
because many things were broken compilation wise moving from gcc-3.4 (base 
compiler that FreeBSD runs) to gcc-4.x.

Why not ask the hackers@ list about this question since it's a more technical 
one than most on the questions@ list ask/answer?

Problems with perl script on 6.1/5.8.8

2007-02-06 Thread Don O'Neil
I've got a perl script that just refuses to run on my new 6.1 box with Perl
5.8.8... Whenever I run it from the command line I get this:

Can't modify single ref constructor in lock at ./caldisp.pl line 84, near
*LOCKF)
Execution of ./caldisp.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

The lines in question are:

if (open (LOCKF, $LOCKF))
{
lock (\*LOCKF);
}

Now the script work fine on my older 4.10 box with perl 5.6.1.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I'm not sure what has changed in Perl 5.8, but this should work instead:

 Based on your error it looks like you don't have swt-devel installed.
 You should update your ports tree, install swt-devel, and if that works
 let the maintainer know that it's missing that dependency.

 -Garrett

I had only just run a CVSUP to update my ports tree and src before the 
portupgrade .. so i'll manually install swt-devel and see how things go form 
there.

You can mount /usr (assuming that's not related to whatever you're trying to 
fix) by typing mount /usr. You'll also need to mount / read/write before 
you can modify rc.conf so I usually just do mount -a. mount / will 
re-mount / with the default r/w settings.

If you do have a problem with /usr, there are statically linked versions of 
both system default editors in /rescue. So you could also 
do /rescue/ee /etc/rc.conf, for example.

sendmail setup

2007-02-06 Thread usleepless

List, Guys and Girls,

although i know this is not a specific freebsd issue, i will ask the
question nevertheless.

normally, i sent my outgoing email through my isp ( relay.x.z ). this
server seems to be down at the moment.

so after working with bsd for years, i decided to dive into sendmail.
i read a lot, setup the stuff and tested sh*t.

so basically, it seems to work fine: i can send messages between
machines on the LAN, but messages to the outside(gmail, other domains)
timeout.

i ran tcpdump on the external interface, and the only thing that seems
to happen is my machine contacting the other machines, but they never
reply!:

22:24:25.763774 x.y.z.4091  gsmtp183.google.com.smtp: S
1796563309:1796563309(0) win 57344 mss 1460 (DF)

how come? how do i find out? i checked /var/log/security and stuff is
not being blocked by ipfw.

sendmail reports:
stat=Deferred: Operation timed out with gsmtp163.google.com.

i have masqueraded(sendmail) with my isp-assigned-domain-name (
ipXXzYYY.provider.country ), and with another domain i own.

am i missing something obvious?

Typically that means your ISP is filtering outbound connections to  
port 25.  If you've got a friendly mailhost handy, try relaying via  
the RFC-2476 MSP port, 587/tcp, instead of 25/tcp...


Otherwise, contact your ISP's tech support and have them fix their  
broken mail relays.

It's highly possible your ISP is blocking port 25 to everything but 
their mailservers in an effort to keep their customers from running

You're going to run into issues if you use gcc-4.2 (an alpha gcc compiler),

Why not ask the hackers@ list about this question since it's a more technical

thanks a bunch. it got me thinking.

1. i have an adsl-account with ip-connectivity only ( no mail, no
news, no mailserver, no nothing )
2. i used to send my email using a relay-server coming with a hosted
domain i administer ( hosted by an isp abroad ).

so that was not working anymore. so i tried sendmail, which did not work either.

so i pinged smtp.myisp-withnoservices.country ( which previously
never existed ).

bingo! now it exists.

so they decided to block port 25, and add this relay-server.

Special User Account Question

2007-02-06 Thread Sean Murphy
I would like to setup a FreeBSD user account that has specific rights to 
certain files.  This special user should not be able to login or ssh 
in.  Certain other user accounts must first login as them and then use 
su into the special account (to become that special user) thus gaining 
access to specific files.  This is a situation where a group or group 
permissions will not help this problem.


Any ideas?

It is probably not in your limited path in single user or not 
in a mounted partition.

You may have to mount the partition containing 'vi', probably /usr.

While in single user, do:
  fsck -p
  mount -u /
  mount -a
  swapon -a

Then you should be able to use vi as:

  /usr/bin/vi /etc/rc.conf

using the full path for vi skips over putting it in your path.
Make your fix and reboot.

I am not sure the rsync --delete is what the OP intended.  rsync --delete
will delete the file on the remote location if it no longer exists in the

the source location after it was copied to the remote location.  Probably
the best bet would to be to have a script scp the files, do some sort of

put a line like this one in your /etc/rc.conf

where your_keymap is one of the filenames in

Solved: Negation in tables for packet filter

2007-02-06 Thread Erik Norgaard

Erik Norgaard wrote:

I want to create two tables in my packet filter, the first should match 
any valid public ip, so I created a table negating anything reserved:


table internet const { !0/8 !10/8 !127/8 !169.254/16 !172.16/12 \
!192.0.2/24 !192.168/16 !198.18/15 !224/4 !240/4 }


Of course, I could do something different here, defining a table for 
local networks and negate it. The rest should be caught by the 
filtering rules anyway to block non-routable packets.


I have three tables with 
different registered hosts with different access levels, I want to 
redirect unknown hosts to a page explaining what to do to get registered,


rdr on $wlan_if proto tcp from { $wlan_net !super !users !free } \
 to internet port http - 127.0.0.1 port 8000


This one is solved with:

no rdr on $wlan_if proto tcp from { super users free } \
  to internet port http
rdr on $wlan_if proto tcp from $wlan_net to !local \
  port http - 127.0.0.1 port 8000

However, it would be nice to know if the documentation is incorrect, or 
there is a difference in how negation is treated in nat and filter 
respectively.

Problem with Serverworks HT1000 serial ATA support - Tyan S3992 Motherboard

2007-02-06 Thread N. Harrington
 Hello
 I am testing out a new tyan motherboard that uses the
next generation of AMD chips and the Serverworks
Chipset. It seems that I can reliably crash it with a
simple bonnie++ test if I set:

/boot/loader.conf  - Used for DiskD for Squid
  kern.ipc.msgtql=2048 

 I am using FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE amd64. This all works
just fine on a non Serverworks Chipset Tyan Board.
(literaly I unplug the drive and move it to another
system and it works and works in production)


 If I run: bonnie++ -d /home -u root s1g
  The system reboots.

 I have tried this is both S-ATA and P-ATA emulation.

 Any ideas on why this setting, which works on non
Serverworks boards, would make the Serverworks so
twitchy?

in.  Certain other user accounts must first login as them and then use 
su into the special account (to become that special user) thus gaining 
access to specific files.  This is a situation where a group or group 
permissions will not help this problem.


Any ideas?

Thanks
