Re: is is able to setting up DNS server reverse lookup with DynamicIP?
Sorry I not explained clearly: Who is assigning the dynamic IP ? This is my Lan, server is freebsd 6.2, My LAN have 5 XP,Linux CLients. I registered a DynamicIP at dyndns.com: www.thecuong.gotdns.com In Freebsd 6.2, I have also postfix MTA. Currently my clients have mail adress such as [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] With this mail addressed, I cand send/receive mail from/to my company, Yahoo etc. But my postfix only can receive mails from freebsd-questions mailing list, it can not send mail to this. I recognized that the cause of this problem is that my DNS (on Freebsd 6.2) not reverse lookup as freebsd-questions requiried in order to prevent spam. Freebsd-questions is currently treats [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] as spam. When mail fom these addressed come, it rejected. I suggest that now I will attached zone file and reverse file, then could you help me check and let me know what's wrong? Pls help me, I really need your help. Tnx Olivier Nicole wrote: Maybe I'm stupid because I already spent 3 days creating my zone file and reverse file but I still can not sussefull.

Dynamic DNS only works with DHCP: DCHP gives and IP to a machine and then it informes DNS that it has given that IP and that now the DNS should update its synamic tables accordingly. You cannot have dynamic DNS working alone (well I think so). Plus the DNS server that holds dynamic reccords should be at a fixed IP address (I never heard of a DNS server on a machine with dynamic IP, that sounds way to unstable to me).

Re: is is able to setting up DNS server reverse lookup with DynamicIP?
I understand your problem. dyndns.com is taking care of the forward dynamic DNS for you. Now who is in charge of the reverse DNS for 58.187.106.120 (your current IP)? I beleive it is FPT. So FPT should upgrade its own reverse DNS every time it gives an IP to your server. Right now if I make a reverse DNS lookup on 58.187.106.120 it gets nothing, while it should get thecuong.gotdns.com. The easiest way to solve your email problem would be that your server sends all the email thought FPT mail server. As a rule, it is a bad idea to use a machine with a dynamic address to be an SMTP server: when the IP changes, the DNS cache will take some time to update everywhere, so for some time your email will be sent to the wrong IP: mailiong list may decide that your account is dead and remove you from the list.

Don't do this transparently. Only leads to pain and suffering (and sufficiently high client disappointment), especially if you want to support TLS over SMTP (which either means a failed certificate for the sending host in case you proxy fully), or not check-/controllable by you (in case you pass encrypted SMTP on directly). Easiest solution that worked for me: block all outgoing traffic to ports 25 and 465, and tell your clients to use yoursmtphost as their smarthost, which then accepts the mail, scans it, and sends it on properly.

You can create one locally, but the Internet as a whole will never look to anything you set up for an rDNS entry. I believe that every IP that is in use on a network, no matter what piece of infrastructure or computer it is assigned to should have a reverse entry. Most ISP's now are configuring rDNS entries for dynamic clients as such, with prefixes that include ppp, dynamic, dialin etc. Almost all of these such entries will cause mail blocks leading to blacklists due to the fact 99.99% of dynamic IP entries should never be sending mail directly to another MX to begin with. In your case, you can still run a fully functional email server at your end, however, instead of sending out directly, you use your upstream as your smart host as stated above. Aside from that, if you are a non-business client without static IP(s), your ISP should be blocking you from sending outbound 25 traffic into their network, except to their mail servers directly anyway. Of course, your ISP should also be blocking port 25 inbound into their network from the outside world, and outbound from their network to you (except to their own legit mail servers) to protect against exploitation of someone with an open relay. (You shouldn't be able to use yourself on the dynamic IP as an SMTP server from outside your own location). If they have implemented this, then you will have to use SMTP Auth on port 587. As a matter of fact, you should be using this anyway. This ISP uses SMTP Auth across the board for all of our users (ADSL, SDSL, dial-up etc). Only a very small handful are permitted to use port 25, and those clients would be the ones (like old Mac OS mail software) that do not have the ability to implement port 587. Cheers!

Is there any technical or performance reason for any cable internet provider to downgrade their network subscribers cable modems from 100Mbps to 10Mbps? That reason could be compatibility. If you see slower response then perhaps something is wrong. Perhaps you should call their support and verify that you do not have a mismatched duplex setting? Mismatched duplex can come from misbehaving autonegotiation or that one end is set to full-duplex while the other end is set to half-duplex, or, one end is set to full-duplex and the other end is set to auto-negotiate (which results in falling back to half-duplex). -- Sten Daniel Soersdal ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The answer to your question is yes. To elaborate a bit more however
here is a personal document I wrote (i.e. wasn't intended for anyone
else), hopefully it provides you with good enough information and/or
the information you were looking for. Mind you, this is BSD and qmail
(yes, I'm a fanboy) specific. This assumes you are familiar with the
software I decided to use under the components heading. Certainly
feel free to ask any questions. I realize the document isn't
production quality due to the reasons given about, but rest assured
I can vouche for this method.
Additionally note, this is obviously not the only method.just that
it's my method.;P Cheers!
~Paul
--
I have 5 machines behind a load balancer, one of which is FBSD 4.11,
and the other 4 are FBSD 6.2. The component list I used is as follows:
Components
tcpserver
daemontools
qmail w/ QMAILQUEUE patch
qmail-qfilter
spamassassin
*custom c scripts (These are optional; one is provided)
Flow
This is the current flow of any emails that reach the cluster. Note
the items listed within *'s are custom programs and explained later in
this document:
tcpserver-qmail-smtpd-qmail-qfilter-spamc-*reject_spam*-qmail-queue-qmail-remote
**Note :: reject_spam is included because that is needed for denying
emails. (You could rewrite it in perl or sh if you needed to)
Installation
The installation for any new and existing proxy boxes is extremely
straightforward.
For all but qmail listed above, use the ports tree.
Setup spamd to create the /tmp/.spamd.sock socket. That's what I call
mine, yours can/will vary.
Once all this is installed, create /etc/tcp.smtp with the following
entry and build the cdb file:
:+RELAYCLIENT=+QMAILQUEUE=/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue-spam
Ensure tcpserver uses that file(i.e. -x)
While in /usr/ports/qmail.
a) upload the attached files (patch-qmail.c and patch-Makefile) into
./files/
b) edit patch-qmail.c to reflect a message you would like to give.
'+case 20: return DAnti-SPAM Threshold Reached see
http://domain.com/legal_information.aspx;;'
c) type: make extract
d) type: make patch
e) copy the attached file (reject-spam.c) to ./work/qmail*/
f) Now, I haven't included some of my patches here do to sensative
information. Therefore, you'll need to edit the Makefile
(work/qmail-*/Makefile) to removed any and all references to
check_block and reject-record-spam.
g) type: make install
h) copy reject-spam to /var/qmail/bin
i) Copy the attached shell script (qmail-queue-spam) to
/var/qmail/bin/; that is going to tie this together.
Please note that it's NECESSARY to use the local software FW to allow
relaying. IPFW is a good choice (my preference anyways). Deny
everything to port 25, and only allow the hosts you want. I found
this to be the easiest.
Then on those hosts, smarthost the hidden (not really) machine.

Best regards, Olivier ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The answer to your question is yes. To elaborate a bit more however here is a personal document I wrote (i.e. wasn't intended for anyone else), hopefully it provides you with good enough information and/or the information you were looking for. Mind you, this is BSD and qmail (yes, I'm a fanboy) specific. This assumes you are familiar with the software I decided to use under the components heading. Certainly feel free to ask any questions. I realize the document isn't production quality due to the reasons given about, but rest assured I can vouche for this method. Additionally note, this is obviously not the only method.just that it's my method.;P Cheers! ~Paul -- I have 5 machines behind a load balancer, one of which is FBSD 4.11, and the other 4 are FBSD 6.2. The component list I used is as follows: Components tcpserver daemontools qmail w/ QMAILQUEUE patch qmail-qfilter spamassassin *custom c scripts (These are optional; one is provided) Flow This is the current flow of any emails that reach the cluster. Note the items listed within *'s are custom programs and explained later in this document: tcpserver-qmail-smtpd-qmail-qfilter-spamc-*reject_spam*-qmail-queue-qmail-remote **Note :: reject_spam is included because that is needed for denying emails. (You could rewrite it in perl or sh if you needed to) Installation The installation for any new and existing proxy boxes is extremely straightforward. For all but qmail listed above, use the ports tree. Setup spamd to create the /tmp/.spamd.sock socket. That's what I call mine, yours can/will vary. Once all this is installed, create /etc/tcp.smtp with the following entry and build the cdb file: :+RELAYCLIENT=+QMAILQUEUE=/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue-spam Ensure tcpserver uses that file(i.e. -x) While in /usr/ports/qmail. a) upload the attached files (patch-qmail.c and patch-Makefile) into ./files/ b) edit patch-qmail.c to reflect a message you would like to give. '+case 20: return DAnti-SPAM Threshold Reached see http://domain.com/legal_information.aspx;;' c) type: make extract d) type: make patch e) copy the attached file (reject-spam.c) to ./work/qmail*/ f) Now, I haven't included some of my patches here do to sensative information. Therefore, you'll need to edit the Makefile (work/qmail-*/Makefile) to removed any and all references to check_block and reject-record-spam. g) type: make install h) copy reject-spam to /var/qmail/bin i) Copy the attached shell script (qmail-queue-spam) to /var/qmail/bin/; that is going to tie this together. Please note that it's NECESSARY to use the local software FW to allow relaying. IPFW is a good choice (my preference anyways). Deny everything to port 25, and only allow the hosts you want. I found this to be the easiest. Then on those hosts, smarthost the hidden (not really) machine. --- Makefile.orig Thu Dec 14 16:23:19 2006 +++ MakefileThu Dec 14 16:25:12 2006 @@ -157,6 +157,37 @@ binm2 chmod 755 binm2 +check_block: \ +load check_block.o alloc.a error.a stralloc.a substdio.a control.o env.a open.a \ +getln.a fs.a str.a + ./load check_block control.o stralloc.a substdio.a alloc.a \ + error.a env.a str.a open.a getln.a fs.a str.a -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient + +check_block.o: \ +compile check_block.c stralloc.h substdio.h readwrite.h str.h + ./compile check_block.c -I/usr/local/include + +reject-record-spam: \ +load reject-record-spam.o slurpclose.o alloc.a str.a error.a stralloc.a getln.a \ +substdio.a control.o env.a fs.a + ./load reject-record-spam control.o slurpclose.o getln.a stralloc.a substdio.a alloc.a \ + error.a env.a str.a fs.a open.a -L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient + + +reject-record-spam.o: \ +compile reject-record-spam.c stralloc.h substdio.h readwrite.h getln.h str.h scan.h fmt.h + ./compile reject-record-spam.c -I/usr/local/include + +reject-spam: \ +load reject-spam.o alloc.a str.a error.a stralloc.a getln.a \ +substdio.a + ./load reject-spam getln.a stralloc.a substdio.a str.a alloc.a \ + error.a + +reject-spam.o: \ +compile reject-spam.c stralloc.h substdio.h readwrite.h getln.h str.h + ./compile reject-spam.c + binm2+df: \ binm2+df.sh conf-qmail cat binm2+df.sh \ @@ -808,7 +839,7 @@ forward preline condredirect bouncesaying except maildirmake \ maildir2mbox maildirwatch

Thank you for the response.
The problem was one of my ignorance of Webmin using its own server
running in ssl mode. I had assumed it was apache.
I now understand that apache2.2.4 is compiled with ssl but does not use
ssl unless it is set up with certificates and, I believe, OpenSSL. That
said, I did reinstall the port and now everything seems to be working fine.
My only question now is: Why is httpd running with -DNOHTTPACCEPT ? How
does this affect apache22's operation?
Thanks in adavance,

Garbled text in xterm

I can run the server and startx brings up twm, but I have garbled text in the xterm; that is, the wrong letters and symbols come up when xterm opens and when I type (text in the menubar is OK). I have made many alterations to xorg.conf and checked a number of faqs, but have found nothing that corrects the problem. I am out of ideas.

You might also want to set up a way to have it report attempts to send mail out from your clients so you can see how many of your users may be infected with something. You'd then need to probably set up your UNIX system to accept email and scan it before forwarding it on.

like to (finally) associate names with dhcpd-provided addresses

Could some kind soul please point me to a good HOWTO on this migration and
reconfiguration? I am DAGSing as I write this, but so far have not
found what I want.
TIA,
The first part of what you want is easy.
In named.conf you'll have something like...
acl private-hosts { 192.168.1.0/24; 192.168.2.0/24; };
view internal {
match-clients { private-hosts; };
zone example.org {
type master;
file master/db.internal.example.org;
};
};
view external {
match-clients { any; };
zone example.org {
type master;
file master/db.example.org;
};
};
Now you have two separate zonefiles, one which is consulted when someone from
192.168.1.0/24 or 192.168.2.0/24 makes a query and one that is consulted when
anyone else makes a query.
HTH
OK - that works great ... but there is one efficiency I'd like to
achieve that I'm not quite sure how implement. At the moment,
both db.internal and db.external contain common public host information
because I want those hosts visible to both communities. This means I
have to make changes in two places when an public host entry is modified.
I tried removing the public information from the db.internal file with
the hope that an internal client requesting public host info would have
the request satisfied automatically from db.external - this didn't work,
the public hosts just disappeared from the internal view altogether.
This raises two questions:
1) Is there a way to configure BIND9 so that internal client requests
are first serviced out of db.internal, but if the lookup fails the
server will then go look at db.external?
2) Better still is there some sort of include mechanism where I could
keep a flat file of public host information for use by db.external,
but include it into db.internal.
Either of these would satisfy my desire to only have to edit a single file
of public host information.
TIA,

I don't think there is, but let someone who uses bind more than I do give a definitive on that :-) What you *can* do, irrespective of bind version, is to have two files which you pre-process with m4, and have a third file which m4 includes on both the others. So you start with: internal.M4 which includes shared external.M4 which also includes shared shared which gets included in the other two. Then m4 internal.M4 internal and m4 external.M4 - external. Bind then loads internal and external. Alternatively you could start with one M4 file which uses lots of ifdefs for the non-shared portions. The create internal and external by specifying different definitions to m4. e.g. m4 -D _TYPE=EXTERNAL or m4 -D _TYPE=INTERNAL. For a problem with small differences between two files, this is a better solution, but not what I'd do in this case.

Somethings isn't quite right here.
It was suggested I load the accf_http from the /boot/loader.conf file. I
did. So, now I removed the line from /boot/loader.conf; it is empty of
any directives. I rebooted and accf_http.ko is no longer in the kernel -
according to kldstat.
ps xa | grep htt gives

I am (ever so) slowly moving my domain from FBSD 4.x to 6.2. I

resolve outside the private network, and expose only the public
facing hosts to the world via DNS. I'd also like to (finally)
associate names with dhcpd-provided addresses so both forwards
reverses work inside the private network.
Could some kind soul please point me to a good HOWTO on this
migration and reconfiguration? I am DAGSing as I write this,
but so far have not found what I want.
TIA,
The first part of what you want is easy.
In named.conf you'll have something like...
acl private-hosts { 192.168.1.0/24; 192.168.2.0/24; };
view internal {
match-clients { private-hosts; };
zone example.org {
type master;
file master/db.internal.example.org;
};
};
view external {
match-clients { any; };
zone example.org {
type master;
file master/db.example.org;
};
};
Now you have two separate zonefiles, one which is consulted when
someone from 192.168.1.0/24 or 192.168.2.0/24 makes a query and
one that is consulted when anyone else makes a query.
HTH
OK - that works great ... but there is one efficiency I'd like to
achieve that I'm not quite sure how implement. At the moment,
both db.internal and db.external contain common public host
information because I want those hosts visible to both communities.
This means I have to make changes in two places when an public
host entry is modified.
I tried removing the public information from the db.internal file
with the hope that an internal client requesting public host info
would have the request satisfied automatically from db.external -
this didn't work, the public hosts just disappeared from the
internal view altogether. This raises two questions:
1) Is there a way to configure BIND9 so that internal client
requests are first serviced out of db.internal, but if the lookup
fails the server will then go look at db.external?
2) Better still is there some sort of include mechanism where I
could keep a flat file of public host information for use by
db.external, but include it into db.internal.
Either of these would satisfy my desire to only have to edit a
single file of public host information.
TIA,
Sure, you can $INCLUDE a file in to a zonefile. :)

Creating and Copying bsdpan packages across machines
Hi, I have a few servers where packages are managed via a central package build system, and the remaining machines are set to only fetch packages from there, so they don't try to build them. This works great and saves lots of time. The only issue I still have here is with bsdpan- packages which are created by Perl CPAN modules not in the ports system. There are just a few of them, but they are important. What I've tried is: 1. Install module EVDB::API using: perl -MCPAN -e install EVDB::API command on the package build server 2. Generate a package out of the installed port via: pkg_create -b bsdpan-EVDB-API-0.99 3. Copy the resulting bsdpan-EVDB-API-0.99.tbz on another machine, and try installing it with: pkg_add bsdpan-EVDB-API-0.99.tbz What happens here is: # pkg_add -v bsdpan-EVDB-API-0.99.tbz Requested space: 36140 bytes, free space: 15849822208 bytes in /var/tmp/instmp.AEIbBN extract: Package name is bsdpan-EVDB-API-0.99 extract: CWD to / extract: ///usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/man/man3/EVDB::API.3 extract: ///usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/man/man3/EVDB::API::JSON.3 tar: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/man/man3/EVDB::API.3: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Error opening archive: Empty input file: Inappropriate file type or format pkg_add: extract_plist: can not invoke 101 byte tar pipeline: /usr/bin/tar cf - /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/man/man3/EVDB\:\:API.3|/usr/bin/tar --unlink -xpf - -C / I haven't been able to debug it further.

That's not really a correction. :-) Correct ;) If you get a single static IP, for example, normally the ISP or netblock owner will not delegate that, but are willing to setup a PTR record. That is, if the ISP *is* willing to set up a rDNS entry. I have had clients move from their previous provider to us because the old provider would not set up a reverse DNS entry for their statically assigned IP(s). Sounds bad, but it happens. If you get a larger static netblock, especially a /24 or larger, then your ISP can delegate reverse DNS to nameservers you run, and thus you can set up and change the reverse lookup results at will without needing your ISP to make PTR record changes. See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2317.txt about Classless IN-ADDR.ARPA delegation for the deal with regard to delegation of smaller netblocks than a /24. I personally wouldn't do this. If anything, I would delegate permissions on our name servers so that the client can log in to our DNS interface and make the changes there. That way, we always have control over the names in the event you ever have a rogue employee at the other end. However, we don't do anything of the sort. When clients need rDNS entries changed, the client requests it, and we make it so. It is the same way that we work with one of our external ADSL wholesalers. Mind you, when you call us, someone answers the phone. You can ask for the button pushers directly, and changes are made live time mostly. Try that with a Sympatico, AOL or the like.

The create internal and external by specifying different definitions to m4. e.g. m4 -D _TYPE=EXTERNAL or m4 -D _TYPE=INTERNAL.

Merging with Mercurial (was: Re: macosx stuff seeping into the ports?)

Soulier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just tried a merge with mercurial, built out of ports. /usr/local/bin/hgmerge: /Developer/Applications/Utilities/FileMerge.app/Contents/MacOS/FileMerge: not found Umm, why the hell would I have that on FreeBSD?? The default 'hgmerge' script distributed as part of the official Mercurial tree tries FileMerge and a few other merge-tools before giving up. You can always replace the default merge-tool with one you like better, by a variety of methods: 1. Setting in your ~/.hgrc file the ui.merge option: [ui] merge = kdiff3 Popular choices for [ui.merge] include kdiff3, meld and I've recently started experimenting with Sun's gpyfm Python/GTK+ GUI merge tool. 2. Setting HGMERGE in the environment of the `hg' utility: $ env HGMERGE=true hg merge When you use this sort of 'merge trickery', you can do things like: $ hg up -C localhead $ env HGMERGE=true hg merge [remotehead] and then you can selectively revert files to their local head version, or to their remote head version: $ hg revert --no-backup -r remotehead obj/lib/libfoo.so.1 $ hg revert --no-backup -r localhead obj/bin/* This tends to a bit error-prone and doesn't really help when you _really_ want to do a 3-way merge of source code or text files. Most of the available merge tools tend to create a varying level of mess with binary files, like snapshots of build trees, so I'm looking at alternative ways of merging. Each time Mercurial invokes $HGMERGE or [ui.merge] there is a conflict because both the local and remote branch has modified the same file. Ideally, it should be possible to write a smarter merge wrapper script, which is written in Python to hook into Mercurial as a backend, and provide the user with more choices, like: $ export HGMERGE=smart-merge $ hg up -C localhead 0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved $ hg merge [remotehead] Merging file obj/lib/libfoo.so.1 command: (a)ccept, (d)iff, (e)dit, (h)istory, (m)erge, (q)uit changeset: (a)ncestor, (p)arent, (c)hild, (m)erged [m] At which point, you can run commands like: ? accept child ? acc ch ? diff parent ? h p or any sort of command which can be auto-completed to something meaningful using some sort of syntax like the one shown above. This way it would be _much_ easier to merge binary files, and given a sufficiently 'smart' HGMERGE application it could be easy to merge by pressing RET RET RET a few times, and let the defaults apply :) This may be tricky to write, and I don't trust my Python skills yet to embark on such a project, so I'm just using a local wrapper around gdiff3 and Sun's gpyfm GTK+-based merge tool (gpyfm) for now. For Mercurial workspaces which contain source code, this combination can really work wonders :-) If you need help with setting up something which supersedes the default 'hgmerge' script distributed with the Mercurial port, please feel free to ask me for the merge scripts I am using locally, search for MergeProgram in the Mercurial wiki[*], or hop into #mercurial on Freenode IRC and chat with all the friendly folks there.

Using FreeBSD iconv on Linux
Hi, Can someone direct me as how to use FreeBSD iconv on linux? I know there exists a GNU iconv on linux; however, I am interested in using FreeBSD iconv.

Re: www/linux-flashplayer7 - now works with SOUND on youtube

Hm, this is very strange and certainly shouldn't be so. Could you please share some more details? What wrapper do you use? Are there warning or any other messages if you run the browser from terminal? I am not sure whether I have sound, but flashplayer only works for me in Firefox, not Konqueror. I will try YouTube and then post if I have sound. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Kmail Problems after update
Hi. It seems that after my update to kde 3.5.7, my kmail filters do not work. They only work if I select each message and apply the filter manually. If I try to do several at a time kmail crashes. Anyone else seeing this or know what I can do to fix this.

Hi all,
My ports collection on some of the servers is wasting alot of

What would be the best method to 'cleanout' the ports dir without

All of the servers are live production servers.
-Grant
There are a few possibilities.
1) cd to each installed ports dir and do a make clean
2) do the same but a make distclean
3) rm -rf /usr/ports/*/*/work
4) rm -rf /usr/ports and recvsup the tree

Thanks,
Josh Paetzel
or you can put the following in a script
# cleaning all work directories of install ports.
plist=`pkg_version -voI |awk '{ print $1 }'`
for porg in $plist ; do
cd /usr/ports/${porg} make clean
done
