 After permitting your networks in the smtpd_recipient_restrictions, use

Thanks very much..

I seem to be struggling getting with the postfix command structure.

If you have the time would you be kind enough to give me specific examples of 
the actual entries to be made in the appropriate files. In case it is 
relevant my server has a  number of virtual domains but the problem I am 
getting is on the primary address for the mail server. Assume the email 
address in question is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] which appears to be subjected to problems and I want to 
permit only addresses on the local network to send emails to that address.

Thanks in advance

No problem if you are too busy

Someone got a trojan onto my wifes  windows 32 bit system which has access to

I think I have closed most loopholes now.

If you could help me with this one it would be appreciated.

You need to create a kernel config file and give it a name like MYKERNEL
Place this file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
If you use amd64 then it needs to go in /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/

If you named that file KRNL then the command needs to be:
make buildkernel KERNCONF=KRNL

'Civil liberties' are only meaningful in the context of a specific
'civilization'.  Welcome to the civilization that allows spammers to use
dynamic IP addresses to disrupt, annoy, cause harm, commit commercial
and all other sorts of fraud.  It is not a perfect civilization, but
it's the one we have, and trying to hide our heads in the sand about the
*real* problem these restrictions are trying to solve isn't going to
make things much better any time soon now.

One may easily argue that the 'civil laws' that forbid stealing from
other people are 'limiting the freedom we have to use the potentially
boundless resources available all over the place'.  I don't think anyone
would consider the argument in favor of stealing as very sound.

The same can be said of the IP address space.  One can argue for days,
for weeks, or even _years_, that requiring a static IP address to be
able to post to a 'common resource' --like the mailing list-- is a limit
to the freedom of everyone.  I'm not very convinced this limit is as bad
as you are trying to describe, though.  In particular, I am not really
convinced the 'freedom' of everyone to post from non-static IP addresses
is worth the immediate problems this would cause by massively increasing
the problems we have with spam mail even today.

In yesterday's world anyone could send a physical letter to any address 
anywhere in the world. I get spam letters through the letter box it is up to 
me to chuck them in the bin. Why should the internet be different especially 
when the restrictions on fixed IPs are brought about soleley for commercial 
interests.

If the same protocol was applied to physical mail then we would not have been 
allowed to send letters unless we had a big building to send it from and all 
letters would have had to have had a big building sending address.

No banning on the grounds of address type is discriminations. Yes bad because 
there has been specific abuse and ban until the abuse is cleaned up.. but do 
not ban on type of address!!

It would be like saying only the rich could send letters!!

 We have a big building; it's called Post Office.  Or do you think that
 someone determined enough cannot monitor where you are sending physical
 letters?

I agree and they do BUT they need a warrant to do so!! That is the safeguard.

With the internet no warrant is needed. There is no protection for civil 
liberties as applies with pohysical mail.

Let me guess, you have been reading the Handbook and taken the 
instructions *too* literally ;)


MYKERNEL is your kernel configuration file, and you should create it 
yourself by hand, before running the command.
You can start with a copy of GENERIC. Better to keep it in your own 
folder rather than /usr/src/sys/i386/conf. (I assume you use the i386 
version)


Example (as root):

cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
cp GENERIC   /root/MYKERNEL
ln -s /root/MYKERNEL   .

Now edit /root/MYKERNEL and make any changes you wish. Then run your 
make command.
(Note: Typically, you will name it after the machine's hostname rather 
than MYKERNEL)

I don't very like the «probably»  ;-)

IMHO ZFS is something amazing, I'm using it on Solaris, and whe you have
~30 To on the server you cannot use UFS or ext3 or anything to need a fsck
(event it's not every time, when one of our linux server need to make his
fsck that block everything). 

So I'm very happy the ZFS is on FreeBSD, and I'm waiting when ZFS become
stable and could use in production.

All of that to say it's not a «waste that power» for me if ZFS working.

Re: safest way to upgrade a production server

2008-09-08 Thread DA Forsyth

On 8 Sep 2008 , [EMAIL PROTECTED] entreated about
 freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 232, Issue 1:

Hi John

 So, my first question is, do I really need to do this?

yes

 If so, what is the minimum amount of upgrading I can do to be safe?   
 And how?

I track RELENG_7_0 in my source tree, but only build it when I see 
somehting important in UPDATING.  what is important?  stuff like,I 
don't run bind, so can ignore any bind related issues, but I do run 
Samba and Apache, so if anything effects them, I get right on it.

If I need to build world (I have a custom kernel) I can do it 
anytime, then after it is built (and kernel) I come in on a Saturday 
and take the server to single user and install world and kernel etc 
etc, following all the relevant instructions.  The thing that can 
take most time is mergemaster, but so what?  on a Saturday that only 
affects web visitors for half an hour or so.

 I also think I need to do this using freebsd-update to do a binary  
 update, to upgrade on an errata branch.

if you are not running custom kernels then freebsd-update is 
fantastic.  I use it on my 2 print servers, which have almost 
identicle 'minimal' setups and don't need a custom kernel.

 I've never done this, so will try upgrading a test system, first. If  
 all goes well, I will give it a whirl on one of the production servers.

I have installed all my software from ports, so I do this:

 - keep the ports tree updated.  I wrote a little script that gets 
called from cron on Monday morning early, that sends me an email 
telling me what ports have been updated in the last week.   
this mornings list is
 1  2 ipmitool
 1  2 mailman
 1  4 rsync
 1  5 samba
 1  9 apcupsd
 2  1 lsof
 2 10 pear-XML_Parser
 4  4 libksba
 7  7 libxslt
 9 11 pear-Log
10 58 gtk
24  1 png
54  5 apache

The numbers are 'required by', and 'requires', giving me an idea of 
how many things are affected by this upgrade.

- following that list, I decide whether to upgrade now or leave it 
till next week.
- to upgrade, I run 'portupgrade -vrR portname' and just fill in the 
portname from my emailed list.  sometimes I do several related ports 
at the same time, like all php* or lib*
- restart any services that were upgraded, in my case usually samba, 
but sometimes net-snmp and so on.
- TEST

with some early experiences in having a portupgrade break things, I 
prefer not to do a 'portupgrade -a', instead doing them one by one 
and thus seeing all the messages and so on.

Note that I do this Monday or Tuesday morning, on a live server with 
~25 local users online, and external web service, and have never had 
a huge problem.  A few years ago the horde upgrade broke a lot of 
stuff, but I fixed it from the backups of the setup files I keep on 
another server.  I tar /etc /usr/local/etc 
/usr/local/www/horde/config and so on.  havn't needed them in ages, 
but I do it anyway.

 Frankly, I find this idea terrifying, but I guess it needs to be done.

yeah, me too, but it gets easier.  keep records of what you have 
done, and what the results are.  makes problem tracking easier.  I 
use a 'sort of a blog' so I can access the information remotely.  I 
used to have the blog on a machine in a different building but that 
has become impossible, so now it exists on 2 local machines.
if the main machine dies I can still see my blog entries for help in 
fixing it.
info on how you set something up is just as important as backups of 
the machine itself.

I chose this server as an example, because it's the oldest one. I  
didn't install the OS on this server, the vendor did. Not sure why  
they chose a prerelease version... perhaps 6.3 was almost ready to go  
and they wanted to put us on the 6.3 branch? I don't know.


Anyway, I guess what I should do is patch this to the latest 6.3  
version?


Or should I go to the latest 6.x version? I am pretty sure I don't  
want to experiment with a 7.x upgrade.

File system corruption upon reboot with gmirror

2008-09-08 Thread Gunther Mayer


Hi guys,

I recently updated my FreeBSD 6.3 on our server to the latest patch with 
freebsd-update and seeing that it involved some kernel patches on 64bit 
I had to reboot. So I carried out an automated reboot during low-load 
times but alas, the box never came back up again.


After gaining physical access to the console I realised that it choked 
on the unclean /usr file system and was unable to proceed as the 
automatic fsck failed, prompting for an emergency shell. An fsck -y 
followed by a reboot sorted out the issue but it caused a good 1.5h of 
total downtime which should have been only 4min.


So, why was the file system unclean even though I rebooted properly?

Afaic this only happens on a power loss or otherwise unclean shutdown 
but I used the reboot command from the shell (in a background (sleep 
21600; reboot)  but that shouldn't matter). So surely it would have 
flushed all the buffers in time? Or is the standard 60 seconds it waits 
maximum for kernel tasks to finish upon reboot too low and it couldn't 
finish in time (in which case, how do I change that?)?


To give you a bit more background, I run a gmirror(8) RAID 1 over two 
disks whose health seems intact (zero bad gmirror log entries):


$ mount
/dev/mirror/gm0s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
/dev/mirror/gm0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/mirror/gm0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/mirror/gm0s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)

Check if your kernel configuration file is named MYKERNEL and

You may have chosen another name? Pay attention to case sensitivity,

State of 3d video, which vendor has best support?

2008-09-08 Thread KlaymenDK

Hi all,
I'm about to build a new pc, the first in quite a few years. My problem is
that I can't find out if I should choose a 3D chipset from Intel, Ati, or
nVidia. What's the state of support, track record, and such for these
nowadays?

I'm planning to use FreeBSD (duh) mainly as a quad-core, dual-headed, desktop
workstation, but would very much like to be able to play the occasional BZFlag
(call me oldschool). Which vendor I choose will affect my options for
motherboard and (onboard/separate) video, which will affect my choice of CPU,
and so on. So this seems to be a fundamental question, but I can't find an
authoritative guide to 3D in FreeBSD.

Any tips?

Re: switching discs during install

2008-09-08 Thread m cassar

Hey, James Strother, if i'm on the same wavelength with you on this, god
knows how many times my pc almost made it out the window with this swapping
thingy. don't know if this helps a bit at this point to at least save some
energy.

Well _last _ thing first --- i finally downloaded the dvd, which is well
worth it in the long run ( from mini if i recall, plus someone here gave a
link ), but if you have a slow connection or download limits, it is a bit
hard to suggest that at the moment since 7.1 is around the corner and i'm
not sure if that means new discs with latest packages will be available
anyway.

Apart from that, i am very much new to fbsd, but did quite a few fresh
installs before i found my best setup, so here are a few points that made
life easier for me.

Firstly, which shouldn't be new - cd1 has the base system, source and ports
tree, and Xorg. After that kde for instance, can be entirely installed from
cd2 ( which i am most familiar with); and i always just do one package or
*chunk* at a time. But i just used to install cd1 (base, src/ports, and
xorg), reboot without installing packages, copy the packages directory off
cd2 to my hard disc under /home and then still use sysinstall to add them
from there -  by selecting from an existing filesystem' instead of from
CD/DVD.  But this never gave my trouble since kde is entirely on  cd2. To
add cd3 might need fixing the index file for sysinstall to work - not sure;
but using pkg_add should work from the hard disk.

This is just in case you need to reinstall, but i know it does not solve
what you hoped for; which i think is still not so straightforward. Here is a
basic idea of what i can make of the swapping discs thing.

eg. Gnome as the basic meta-port is mainly on cd2 - (i think!). However, i
remember coming across a part in the porter's handbook that recommends
dependencies, for any given port, be listed alphabetically.
So say apache (e.g.) was added as a gnome dependency, (maybe not directly -
say depend of a depend) but it is not actually a part of the meta-port, and
most probably on cd3-- then it still gets added/installed alphabetically or
just before the package that needs it.  ( I had noticed some roughly
alphabetical order once that made me think that - unless i was
hallucinating).

I hope this makes sense - even if it not the case - because i am in a rush
and i had to comment as this had bugged me alot. Still, even the dvd
packages (which are the same version as on the cds with 7-release) are
pretty much all outdated now, besides the fact that you will have to build
them all from ports, since packages are only available for Stable. I
actually built kde4.1 twice from scratch before realising it was easier to
upgrade to 7Stable, then add packages using portupgrade -NP -- which saves
a local copy of all downloaded packages under /usr/ports/packages/All, and
saved my lots of time later. It works better than pkg_add -rK; which only
saves the package you ask for and none of the downloaded dependencies.

Sorry if i made a mess of this right now. i'm finally up to date right now
with all my packages and running 7.1 prerelease, so will see what happens
with 7.1 release before i bother making my own dvd with latest packages.

phew.

This is becoming a FAQ. You should be able to find some good information in 
a couple of relatively recent threads.

The nutshell summary (in my opinion, from memory) is this:
 nVidia support is good w/ the binary driver on i386. Not available on amd64
 ati support is great for hardware supported by radeon(4x). The manpage has 
a pretty good list. Better support for fancier cards (hd, etc) is coming 
but not quite all the way there
 intel support is very good. Not quite as many souped-up options but modern 
onboard intel graphics are more than adequate for almost anything, 
including many games.

Personally I would look for Intel gfx in a laptop and a well-supported ATI 
card for a desktop.

 I'm planning to use FreeBSD (duh) mainly as a quad-core, dual-headed,

Re: Sendmail become open relay

2008-09-08 Thread Paul Macdonald



This might be more general advice than a specific help, but i've found 
most bad mail originating from me comes from php driven forum sites.
After originally patching the php src to log sitenames that send mail, i 
found enabling MAILHEAD support in php build adds customs headers which 
help to identify the site anyway.


I plan on adding a milter to pick these up dynamically, but for now, it 
helps identify sites from stuck items in mailq.


i.e a grep into mailq  for X-PHP-Script

/var/spool/mqueue/qfm83AltWj045560:H??X-PHP-Script: 
www.siteonserver.com/signup.php for x.101.27.178


Its easy to spot dubious scripts as the ip is commonly the same.

gd luck.

  They might not be as haphazard as you suggest. ISTR once reading that 
  the CDs were arranged with the most popular packages on the first CD so 
  that you would only need to download disk 2 (and 3) if you wanted some 
  of the less common packages. With your suggested layout it's quite 
  likely that a package which most of the others depend on would be right 
  down at the bottom of the list with the result that you'd invariably 
  need to download all 3 CD images.
  
  I think the best way to avoid the need for frequent CD switching would 
  be for sysinstall to sort the list of selected packages into CD order 
  before installing them. I imagine this would require some changes to 
  pkg_add to prevent it from installing dependencies and I expect the 
  possible benefits would not be considered to be sufficient to justify 
  the effort.
 
 Another way to avoid switching CDs is to select an FTP server for
 installing packages.  This also avoids downloading bits you don't
 need or want.

I think the OP mentioned having a difficult or slow internet
connection as being part of the reason for the question/comment.
Although I enjoy having a 100MB line to my office into a 10GB
backbone, still not all people are that fortunate and I don't even
have a good line at home where I am still stuck with dialup (so I 
drag my machine in to the office for installs).

 There is another discussion:
 
   http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?1220762797.29265.43.camel
 
 which would address the disk swapping by removing all the packages
 from disc1 and providing a DVD of packages that could be used
 after installation.

Re: ssh

2008-09-08 Thread Lowell Gilbert

joeb [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 In FreeBSD 6.2 and older the port SSH listened on was controlled by
 /etc/services. Now in 7.0 SSH no longer looks at /etc/services to find out
 what port to listen on. Is this by design or error in the move to a newer
 release of SSH?

I hadn't noticed that sshd had *ever* used that file for that
purpose.  It can be explicitly configured for a variety of
address/port configurations, using the Port and ListenAddress
configurations in the sshd_config file.  Or overridden on the command
line.  I recommend you leave the services file standard and modify the
config file, because that's how other admins would expect you to have
done it anyway.

 When it comes to security through obscurity don't be so fast to shoot it
 down.  On my system port 22 was receiving over 700 scans or login attempts a
 day. Changing the SSH to use xx22 port stopped all the high school and
 college script kiddies cold. Now I only get maybe 5 hits on my xx22 port
 every 3 months. 

I would word it a little differently. I don't think of changing the
ssh port as providing security at all: what it does is allows you to
put less effort into providing (roughly) the same security.  Still a
desirable goal.

Ben,

The manpage for rc.conf includes the following example:

It is also possible to rename interface by doing:

ifconfig_ed0_name=net0
ifconfig_net0=inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0x

	Obviously you can also do this manually w/ ifconfig, but I suspect  
hat you'd like this change to occurr everytime you restart.

This might be more general advice than a specific help, but i've

I plan on adding a milter to pick these up dynamically, but for

Its easy to spot dubious scripts as the ip is commonly the same.

gd luck.
Paul.


I was thinking somewhat the same thing. It can be the leveraging
of any scripts if the server is a web server of any sort. Spammers test
every possible crack against your scripts. While you attempt to find
which is being leveraged, you can minimize the damage by
using the MAX_RCPTS_PER_MESSAGE within sendmail. It allows
you to catch and destroy their use of your system prior to much
mail going out. You set this value to 2 and it's impossible to send
in one pass to more than two recipients. Monitoring your mailq
will allow you to see quickly if someone has got your number. This
will help keep you off BLs while you tighten your security.

openoffice spadmin doesn't install fonts

Ok, this used to work ... I'm using oo 2.4.0 on release-7.0-p3.  Using
the add fonts menu in spadmin, it copies the TT font files into
/usr/local/openoffice.org-2.4.0/share/fonts
but they never show up in the font menu in the writer.
Does anyone know?  Does this have something to do with fontconfig?

HW recommendations for light weight server

2008-09-08 Thread Jeffrey Goldberg

I know that this is pretty far off topic, but I'm asking anyway.

I need to purchase/rebuild a relatively light-weight server for a
small LAN. It will run a small MySQL server, DNS, DHCP, nagios, LDAP,
syslog-ng and a few other things, serving only a LAN. My previous box
running this was a cheapo Fry's reject. I went through two power
supplies on that one, before I gave up on it.

My current box is an HP Pavilion Slimline s3220n

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01154947lc=endlc=encc=uslang=enproduct=3548659

that I got at a CompUSA fire sale. Although it is still running, the
case near the power supply is very hot to the touch and it is giving
off a terrible stench. CPU temperatures are perfectly fine, but I'm
taking the smell as a very bad sign. That machine came with many
things that I don't use (DVD burner (only used during FreeBSD
installation), TV tuner, Wireless, etc) so they shouldn't be drawing
any power.

I need something that will run 24/7 in an environment that can
sometimes get up to 30C. (I live in Texas, and try not to over do the
air conditioning.)

Something with an amd64 architecture would make the transition easier,
since I might be able to use my current disk.

So any thoughts or recommendations will be welcome. If people wish to
email me off list, I'll provide a summary of responses.

Cheers,

-j

 Hi Jeff,

 I think there might be a problem with the man page for tip(1) 
 on 6.x, as
 an entry for 'tandem' was added to the tip sources about 2 years ago.
 It's in the 7.x man page as you can see at:

 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tipmanpath=FreeBSD+7
.0-RELEASEformat=html

 in 'Variables'. 'tandem' shows up in a variable listing (~v) 
 in tip on a
 6.x system I have here but I don't have an appropriate set up 
 at hand to
 verify that it operates correctly.

 Let us know how you go with it. If it works for you then a PR would be

Thanks for the response. After I sent the original email, I found the
tandem variable in the tip source code and toggling it off did indeed
disable the generation of XOFFs. It would have been easier if tandem had

It would also be convenient if there was some way to set these tip

allow tcp from any to any dst-port 25 uid root

However, the log messages I get look like this:

Which is to say, they don't include the UID -- and I have several hundred

Yes, I could go ahead and set up a thousand deny rules, one for each UID 
-- but being able to log this info (since it IS being checked) would be 
great.

I encountered exactly the same situation just recently when I set up cu
to monitor a serial console from another box. I'd like to be able to
unset beautify and set the script and record variables on startup but
couldn't see how it might be done other than patching the source.

In your case, however, it seems you're in luck. Take another look at
that last sentence in the description of 'tandem'. You should be able to
add the 'nt' (presumably, no tandem) capability to /etc/remote.

That said, I still think that as long as the freebsd foundation

the CD/DVD reader is forced to perform a large number of seeks that
dramatically reduces data throughput.  When they are read in order,
read rates should be much better.
They might not be as haphazard as you suggest. ISTR once reading that 
the CDs were arranged with the most popular packages on the first CD so 
that you would only need to download disk 2 (and 3) if you wanted some 
of the less common packages. With your suggested layout it's quite 
likely that a package which most of the others depend on would be right 
down at the bottom of the list with the result that you'd invariably 
need to download all 3 CD images.


I think the best way to avoid the need for frequent CD switching would 
be for sysinstall to sort the list of selected packages into CD order 
before installing them. I imagine this would require some changes to 
pkg_add to prevent it from installing dependencies and I expect the 
possible benefits would not be considered to be sufficient to justify 
the effort.

Another way to avoid switching CDs is to select an FTP server for
installing packages.  This also avoids downloading bits you don't
need or want.


I think the OP mentioned having a difficult or slow internet
connection as being part of the reason for the question/comment.
Although I enjoy having a 100MB line to my office into a 10GB
backbone, still not all people are that fortunate and I don't even
have a good line at home where I am still stuck with dialup (so I 
drag my machine in to the office for installs).

There is another discussion:

  http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?1220762797.29265.43.camel

which would address the disk swapping by removing all the packages
from disc1 and providing a DVD of packages that could be used
after installation.

HTH,

Randy

Aloha,

Slow internet is an unforunate fact of life. Here in Hawaii we have many 
military  installations and many times they down load or up load 
satellite or other images that hog our Trans Oceanic band width. I have 
a 3 meg download line and it is excellent most of the time. However, 
when there are certain missions or satellite tests going on it slows 
things noticably. I have found that by using the Australian Mirrors can 
help from here or trying one of the less popular mirrors from MIT or one 
of the Canadian ones can really speed up down loads.


I Make a copy of CD 1 FreeBSD and then load a minimal install (with 
ports). Then down load from a FreeBSD server anything else I need for 
the server or desktop I am setting up. And select one of the ftp mirrors 
 that is normally not too choked.


Best of luck.

Check the logfiles in /var/db/mysql, they will usually tell you what

Re: HW recommendations for light weight server

2008-09-08 Thread Al Plant

Jeffrey Goldberg wrote:

I know that this is pretty far off topic, but I'm asking anyway.

I need to purchase/rebuild a relatively light-weight server for a small
LAN. It will run a small MySQL server, DNS, DHCP, nagios, LDAP,
syslog-ng and a few other things, serving only a LAN. My previous box
running this was a cheapo Fry's reject. I went through two power
supplies on that one, before I gave up on it.

My current box is an HP Pavilion Slimline s3220n

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01154947lc=endlc=encc=uslang=enproduct=3548659

that I got at a CompUSA fire sale. Although it is still running, the
case near the power supply is very hot to the touch and it is giving off
a terrible stench. CPU temperatures are perfectly fine, but I'm taking
the smell as a very bad sign. That machine came with many things that I
don't use (DVD burner (only used during FreeBSD installation), TV tuner,
Wireless, etc) so they shouldn't be drawing any power.

I need something that will run 24/7 in an environment that can sometimes
get up to 30C. (I live in Texas, and try not to over do the air
conditioning.)

Something with an amd64 architecture would make the transition easier,
since I might be able to use my current disk.

So any thoughts or recommendations will be welcome. If people wish to
email me off list, I'll provide a summary of responses.

Aloha,

My servers are housed in a shed. I have louvers at the top and bottom so
the laws of convection work well. I have had hot powersupplies at
times. I usually change them to a heavy duty one mostly taken from cast
off military or HP boxes. This usually solves the problem nicely. Also
in every one of my servers I added a big fan over and above the ones
that come with the box. (I dont have to worry about noise with the
servers since that are in the outside shed).

For reference: I live in a uplands area on Oahu where our night
temperatures is in the upper 60's (18c) and in the fall the daytime can
be in the low 90's (35c)

Re: IPFW uid logging...

In the last episode (Sep 08), Dan Mahoney, System Admin said:
 I have the following rule set up in ipfw to limit the exposure of bad
 php scripts and trojans that try to send mail directly.
 
 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 25 uid root
 deny log tcp from any to any dst-port 25 out
 
 However, the log messages I get look like this:
 
 Sep  8 13:21:11 security.info prime kernel: ipfw: 610 Deny TCP 
 72.9.101.130:58117 209.85.133.114:25 out via em0

 72.9.101.130:56672 202.12.31.144:25 out via em0
 
 Which is to say, they don't include the UID -- and I have several hundred 
 sites, each with its own UID.
 
 Yes, I could go ahead and set up a thousand deny rules, one for
 each UID -- but being able to log this info (since it IS being
 checked) would be great.

It should be possible to add a couple more arguments to ipfw_log() so
that ipfw_chk() can pass it the ugid_lookup flag and a pointer to the
fw_ugid_cache struct.  Then you can edit ipfw_log to print the contents
of that struct if ugid_lookup==1.  That would result in the logging of
uid for any failed packet that had to go through a uid check on the way
to the deny rule.

 oooh, that is a bit old I think.

 I chose this server as an example, because it's the oldest one. I
 didn't install the OS on this server, the vendor did. Not sure why
 they chose a prerelease version... perhaps 6.3 was almost ready to go
 and they wanted to put us on the 6.3 branch? I don't know.


I had the same problem, except I was the vendor. Set up a system with
6.3-PRERELEASE for testing, then forgot it wasn't -RELEASE and put it
in production.

 Anyway, I guess what I should do is patch this to the latest 6.3
 version?


My strategy was to do a source-base upgrade to 6.3-RELEASE, and then
use freebsd-update to apply critical patches. Freebsd-update only
works on -RELEASE versions with generic kernels, but I find it much
faster and easier than trying to do upgrades from source. You also
need to keep track of ports that need updating: use portaudit for
that.

 Or should I go to the latest 6.x version? I am pretty sure I don't
 want to experiment with a 7.x upgrade.

I believe 6.3 is the latest 6.x version. For now the thing to do is
get to an up-to-date 6.3 system. Then take your time figuring out the
best strategy for the transition to 7.x.

Can FreeBSD6.3 Generic Kernels Mount a Linux EXT3 FS?

The subject line is the question. I am not sure if it isn't
working because I am using the wrong nomenclature for the file
system I need to mount or if I need to do some more to the
kernel which, right now, is just the standard FreeBSD generic
build which usually has everything one normally needs.

Hi Joe,

Do you have a my.cnf file anywhere? If so, look for the following
options and make sure that the directories they are set to are also
accessible by the mysql user:

innodb_data_home_dir
innodb_data_file_path

If that doesn't work, I often use truss
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=trussapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASEformat=html)
to debug permissions issues like this. You'll usually be able to tell
from its output what syscall generates an EACCES and causes MySQL to fail.

Regards,
Greg

   Check the logfiles in /var/db/mysql, they will usually tell you
   what it's choking on. My first guess without more info would be
   you probably don't have something configured correctly.

Ben,

The manpage for rc.conf includes the following example:

It is also possible to rename interface by doing:

ifconfig_ed0_name=net0
ifconfig_net0=inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0x

	Obviously you can also do this manually w/ ifconfig, but I suspect  
hat you'd like this change to occurr everytime you restart.

hi-

thanks for the reply.  is there no other way aside from ifconfig?  i  
was hoping for a mechanism to say something like this device at pci  
address X should be considered the first interface or such.  pciconf - 
w seemed like it might be suitable, but i'm not quite sure how one  
would go about that.  my goal is to be able to do it earlier in the  
boot process, and avoid playing musical interface names with ifconfig  
if i want to retain the existing naming convention.  there must be  
some logic that relates to which interface is picked up or labelled  
first, no?

Re: IPFW uid logging...

However, the log messages I get look like this:

Which is to say, they don't include the UID -- and I have several hundred
sites, each with its own UID.

Yes, I could go ahead and set up a thousand deny rules, one for
each UID -- but being able to log this info (since it IS being
checked) would be great.


It should be possible to add a couple more arguments to ipfw_log() so
that ipfw_chk() can pass it the ugid_lookup flag and a pointer to the
fw_ugid_cache struct.  Then you can edit ipfw_log to print the contents
of that struct if ugid_lookup==1.  That would result in the logging of
uid for any failed packet that had to go through a uid check on the way
to the deny rule.


Okay, so if it's fairly easy to do, the question would be since I don't 
feel right hacking in this change myself -- how could I propose this as a 
feature?  It's not a BUG per-se, but I think it could be useful to others 
as well.

logcheck doesn't work anymore

2008-09-08 Thread Marco Beishuizen

Hi,

After upgrading logcheck from 1.1.1 to 1.2.54 I suddenly get errors of
logcheck not working correctly:

...
Warning: If you are seeing this message, your log files may not have
been checked!

Details:

In version 1.1.1 there was a script logcheck.sh in cron that ran every

But this doesn't seem to do anything.

How can I use logcheck again?

7-stable-amd64 on ibm x86-64 daughter card

2008-09-08 Thread Michael

I'm running 7-stable on an x86-64 card in an ibm server and was 
wondering if anyone else was, or in a similar environment, and has IO 
errors on the shared disk. The errors do not happen all the time, not 
even under heavy load, it seems to be at random. Shared disk presents 
itself as an LSI scsi disk.

Problems with portsdb -Uu on FreeBSD 6.3

  Hi people.

   Well I have time locking for a solution for this problem I have, I have
googling around and have not found a solution, I have 2 serves running
FreeBSD 6.1/6.2, normally I update my ports tree each day, but I already
stop doing that because I still cannot fix the problems with the commmand:

portsdb -Uu, each time I run that command on both servers I receive this
error:

Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please wait..Makefile,
line 56: Could not find bsd.port.options.mk
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
=== sysutils/apcupsd failed
*** Error code 1

I try to follow some sites solutions but no luck, I remove the port
portupgrade and install again but again no luck, download the Index file,
etc, etc, today I build a server, fresh install, update my ports with
portsnap, them run the portsdb
-Uu and again the same error.

This could not be the sync of the server and my files, because the last time
I try to sync my servers this was the same error I got today.

I don't know if this is  the only way we can have  our ports sync:

portsnap fetch  portsnap update  portsdb -Uu ?

  This is my normal commands I use to sync my ports,  maybe I am wrong
please confirm this if I'am wrong,  but  the  error appear  right in my
server, what could I do to fix this error?

  I have seen other people with the same error and no solution yet.

  sysutils/apcupsd failed

  Thanks all for your time!!!

Look in /usr/local/share/mysql for my.cnf examples you can use for tuning
your install. One thing that bit me once was the location of the my.cnf
changed. I used to keep it in /var/db/mysql but found after one particular
upgrade it seemed like it wasn't being read any longer. That was because
the FreeBSD port install's new default location changed to /usr/local/etc.

 With the internet no warrant is needed. There is no protection for

First of all, this is not a civil liberties issue. Are you so naive
that you honestly believe that by using a dynamic IP rather than
securing a static one or using your hosts mail service that you have
made the interception and viewing of your mail by someone other than
its intended recipient impossible? Furthermore, what are you
transmitting that makes you so paranoid? Why not just use some
form of encryption if you are so paranoid?

Your claim of civil liberties is bogus. Consider the rights of other
users, in this case the Postfix mailing list, that does not want to be
inundated with SPAM and accordingly blocks mail from sites that fail
authentication tests. In your case, reverse DNS.

Your server, your rules.  You can whitelist or blacklist anyone you 
choose.  The downside is that so can everybody else; your lack of 
non-generic rDNS means that mail to my server (alcatraz.sequestered.net) 
will bounce if not smarthosted through somewhere that has a static IP 
and properly configured DNS.  This was deemed an acceptable threshold on 
my box when I was selecting anti-spam mechanisms.  If you're that 
concerned about privacy, use GPG/PGP and  request a key exchange.


What's more is that I've applied that same metric at several employers, 
ranging from mid-sized businesses to universities.  My previous (and 
current!) employers were familiar with all sides of the argument and 
ultimately decided to reject mail from dynamic address pools to combat 
spam.  Complaining about it doesn't do much good, since (as previously 
stated) their server, their rules.
To classify a whole load of users, the majority of whom are genuine, as 
invalid users is degrading and discriminatory.


  
The majority of users smarthost their mail.  If you want to retain 
control, drop the $15 a month on a VPS somewhere with a static IP, 
configure DNS correctly, and be your own smarthost; I did this for a 
while before I upgraded to a static IP at home. 

My point of viwew -- you are entitled to yours but IMHO not to enforce it!!
  
Ah, but on my server I can enforce whatever makes the most sense for my 
userbase; my responsibility is to them, not to you.

Unless you have a specific overriding reason to do -Uu you might want to
try -uF instead. It's what I use and it's always worked. In fact, this is
what I do to see if I need an upgrade:

csup -L 2 ports  portsdb -uF  pkgdb -u  portversion

But since I have never used portsnap don't really know anything about it.

   I have been trying a lot of things, I want to start again, I think I just
need to delete /usr/ports?

   Let me read again the manual and see those Flags.

   I remember that the first time u run portsdb the manuals recommend to sue
Uu, but let read the manual page, I will back soon!!!

   Thanks all for your support!!!

Re: IPFW uid logging...

 In the last episode (Sep 08), Dan Mahoney, System Admin said:
 I have the following rule set up in ipfw to limit the exposure of bad
 php scripts and trojans that try to send mail directly.

 allow tcp from any to any dst-port 25 uid root
 deny log tcp from any to any dst-port 25 out

 However, the log messages I get look like this:

 Sep  8 13:21:11 security.info prime kernel: ipfw: 610 Deny TCP 
 72.9.101.130:58117 209.85.133.114:25 out via em0
 Sep  8 13:21:16 security.info prime kernel: ipfw: 610 Deny TCP 
 72.9.101.130:56672 202.12.31.144:25 out via em0

 Which is to say, they don't include the UID -- and I have several hundred
 sites, each with its own UID.

 Yes, I could go ahead and set up a thousand deny rules, one for
 each UID -- but being able to log this info (since it IS being
 checked) would be great.

 It should be possible to add a couple more arguments to ipfw_log() so
 that ipfw_chk() can pass it the ugid_lookup flag and a pointer to the
 fw_ugid_cache struct.  Then you can edit ipfw_log to print the contents
 of that struct if ugid_lookup==1.  That would result in the logging of
 uid for any failed packet that had to go through a uid check on the way
 to the deny rule.

 Okay, so if it's fairly easy to do, the question would be since I don't  
 feel right hacking in this change myself -- how could I propose this as a 
 feature?  It's not a BUG per-se, but I think it could be useful to 
 others as well.

send-pr it.  Category=kern, Class=change-request.

Reference this thread in the Fix section:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2008-September/025920.html

FWIW, I think it's also a good idea.  The output formatting of the log
line might need to be adjusted carefully though, since any programs
which grep on a very strict regex will start failing.  I'm inclined
to recommend the string , UID xxx be appended to the existing string,
e.g.

Sep  8 13:21:11 security.info prime kernel: ipfw: 610 Deny TCP 
72.9.101.130:58117 209.85.133.114:25 out via em0, UID 6592

Re: Can FreeBSD6.3 Generic Kernels Mount a Linux EXT3 FS?

My thanks to a member of this list  who showed me what I was
doing wrong. in an example, the command is

mount -t ext2fs /dev/[yourstoragedevicename] /mnt

I had originally been typing -t ext2 which equals nothing to
FreeBSD.

Virtual machines hosted on FreeBSD 7

2008-09-08 Thread Derek Ragona

I have a FreeBSD 7 release I wanted to use as a host for virtual 
machines.  What software is anyone else using to host virtual machines 
under FreeBSD?


I'd just like to here what has worked, or what has not worked.  I find it 
easier to find a solution asking for real world experiences.


Thanks for your help.

Re: Can FreeBSD6.3 Generic Kernels Mount a Linux EXT3 FS?

2008-09-08 Thread wsw

The GENERIC kernel maybe have no ext2fs module. You can install it by:
cd /usr/src/sys/module/ext2fs  make  make install clean
and load the module
kldload ext2fs

If you do not have mount_ext2fs tool:
cd /usr/src/sbin/mount_ext2fs  make  make install clean

then, try to mount the ext2 partition.

 In my honest opinion, there aren't many good ways of doing what I 
think you're wanting.
VMware is a no go for now, or probably any time soon. I don't think 
virtualbox is running on freebsd yet. You could use jails, for just 
other freebsd installs, not really a VM so to speak.
bochs is crap for this purpose, simics doesn't run on it worth a crap 
either. If I were you, I would use something else. say a hypervisor 
running on bare hardware, ie: VMware ESX, or similar. I would say xen if 
it was ready, but I don't think it is.

Mike,

Thanks for the quick response.  I had seen that there are a lot of 
non-working virtual machine implementations.  It seems a shame that as well 
as FreeBSD runs there are no ways to run a VM on it.

how can i use ISO-8859-1??

2008-09-08 Thread Gary Kline

Guys,

This is one of the I've-been-meaning-to-ask questions;
but other things keep happening that took precedence.  Now
it's time to ask what are the voodoo commands to set up in my
~/.zshrc or other initiation files (probably including my muttrc)
that will let me print to stdout, characters like the e-aigu
or u-umlaut and the currency pound or Euro?

I keep running into '\240' characters that are likely M$ format
commands.  Catting a saved file thru Giorgos sed
's/[^[:print:]]/*/g' {or whatever} resolved that --and other
such.  But it isn't my main gripe.  

I realize this is probably a complex issue; it's time to work on
a reasonable solution.

thanks in advance for all insights,

gary
