Re: problem killing a process with its pid
Thank you :) actually, kill -9 $(cat /var/run/natd.pid |cut -d -f1) in a script will work... (4 hours of work for this) for some reason, 'kill' doesn't think 'cat natd.pid' is a valid pid. i have to specially cut the first part out to get it straight i am using csh i tried your suggestions just now and below are the result kill -9 `cat /var/run/natd.pid` kill: Arguments should be jobs or process id's kill -9 `cat /var/run/natd.pid|cut -d -f1` kill: Arguments should be jobs or process id's what do you think is the reason? i most certainly flunk my shell... hehe rich 2008/9/14 Agus [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008/9/14 Richard Yang [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have been trying to kill the process by pulling natd.pid below are 3 typical examples among a couple dozens I tried kill -9 $(natd.pid) Illegal variable name kill -9 '/var/run/natd.pid' kill: Arguments should be jobs or process id's cat /var/run/natd.pid | kill -9 (no error returned, but natd process is still up) could someone help? thanks. -- Best Regards Richard Yang [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I dont think this ways are correctly form... You probably want to kill the PID thats in that file, so the use as a variable, has no use...hehe kill -9 `cat /var/run/natd.pid` Notice the quotes aren simple..they are like an ascent towards the left that will probably work If not you can also use the xargs command in the last one u put, before the kill -9...

ACPI is pre-loaded as a kernel module in all recent versions of FreeBSD and adding it directly in the kernel wouldn't accomplish anything. I assume you're using i386 (e.g. the 32-bit variant of FreeBSD). In this case you have only two options if you want to use 4 GB or more memory: * Use a PAE kernel, which works fairly well, but doesn't support kernel modules (if you are not familiar with kernel modules then you probably don't need them so ignore this). There's a pre-packaged kernel configuration named PAE for this. * Switch to a 64-bit version (usually, this means you have to reinstall the system using the 64-bit install CD). The 64-bit version is called AMD64 and it also runs on Intel CPUs. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hi Marco,
Right you are! In fact, after my initial logcheck commit, someone
opened a PR stating something very similar to what you noted:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/127255
The submitter's point is that the logcheck user should not be part of
the wheel group, since that also confers the ability to su to root and
read many files that should be private.
A patch has been committed very recently to remove the logcheck user
from the wheel group and change the verbiage in pkg-message:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/security/logcheck/files/pkg-install.in.diff?r1=1.1;r2=1.2
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/security/logcheck/files/pkg-message.in.diff?r1=1.1;r2=1.2
Any file that needs to be analyzed by logcheck will now have to be
readable by the logcheck group instead of the wheel group.
Best regards,

I upgraded to the latest version today and now there is a separate
logcheck group. But logcheck still only works when the logfiles have
permission 644. Most of them had permissions set to 600 but then I get
the same error messages as before.
Or should I change the owner of all logfiles from root to logcheck and
then the permissions back to 600?
Regards,
Marco
Hi Marco,
Yes, you will need to make the files readable by logcheck, according to
the instructions displayed after the port is installed, but you don't
need to chance the owner of the files to be analyzed, just the group and
group permissions:
Please make sure that all files listed in
/usr/local/etc/logcheck/logcheck.logfiles
are readable to the 'logcheck' group (see also /etc/newsyslog.conf),
or remove them from the aforementioned logcheck configuration file.
In my installation, logcheck.logfiles contains the following. I believe
this is the default when the port is first installed:
# these files will be checked by logcheck
# This has been tuned towards a default syslog install
/var/log/messages
/var/log/auth.log
When I check the permissions on these files, I see:
fbsd70# ls -l /var/log/messages /var/log/auth.log
-rw-r- 1 root wheel 63339 Sep 14 12:44 /var/log/auth.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 47346 Sep 14 12:48 /var/log/messages
I can tell that /var/log/messages is readable by the logcheck group
(other = read), but /var/log/auth.log is not (other = none). To fix this
problem, I change the group of the /var/log/auth.log file like so:
fbsd70# chgrp logcheck /var/log/auth.log
fbsd70# ls -l /var/log/messages /var/log/auth.log
-rw-r- 1 root logcheck 63339 Sep 14 12:44 /var/log/auth.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 47346 Sep 14 12:48 /var/log/messages
Finally, I'll add the members of the wheel group to the logcheck group
so anyone in that group can still read the file as they could before:
fbsd70# grep ^wheel: /etc/group
wheel:*:0:root,glarkin
fbsd70# grep ^wheel: /etc/group | awk -F : '{ print $4 }' | xargs \
-n1 pw groupmod logcheck -m
fbsd70# grep ^logcheck: /etc/group
logcheck:*:915:root,glarkin
Now the logcheck, root, and glarkin user can all read /var/log/auth.log,
and the logcheck script should work fine. I hope that clears everything
up. If you have any further questions or problems, please post back here.
Best regards,
Greg

Re: Sysinstall doesn't detect IDE hard drives
I believe you need to have the IDE drive as the master for your configuration.

Re: x3550 ServeRAID-8k and FBSD 7, group limit
I've looked into it, but i don't seems to understand if the the files inherit the properties... lets say if i have /home/user/ i set ACL for it, does files in it inherit the dir's ACL or i need to set it manually for each one? as it seems to me, i do, and it does not solve my problem ;\ since, lets say user1 uploads his files with sftp, i need then set somehow manually the ACL for user 'www' to read the files.

Re: How to test an unsupported scanner (CanoScan LiDe 90)?
Hi! Seems that the CanoScan LiDe 90 is one of the scanners built by Canon that are not supported well. That's a reason to avoid them. :-) I had similar issues with a LiDE 45 (I think it was), and I did soon replace it with a SCSI scanner that worked out of the box without problems.

So now I get # dmesg | grep uscanner uscanner0: Canon CanoScan, class 255/255, rev 2.00/3.07, addr 2 on uhub1 which changes: # sane-find-scanner -q found USB scanner (vendor=0x04a9, product=0x1900) at /dev/uscanner0 Also I tried an appropriate entry in /usr/local/etc/sane/genesys.conf but the result of # scanimage -L remains the same (not identified) and # scanimage -d genesys:/dev/uscanner0 image.pnm scanimage: open of device genesys:/dev/uscanner0 failed: Invalid argument This indicates that this scanner works differently than those usually supported by the genesys backend. I love Canon for making things complicated exactly this way. Maybe this scanner is compatible to another driver, but that's only a guess.

Re: Being a shell provider - good business?
On Saturday 13 September 2008, Art Vandelay said: Hello. My friend thinks that being a shell provider for IRC bots and bouncers is very good business. How do I convince him it's not? Sorry for going off-topic and cross-post, but I don't know who else to ask. Ask him how he's going to deal with all the angry users when one of his script kiddie users gets the IP k-lined from all the irc servers. Or how he's going to deal with law enforcement after one of his accounts uses the shell for nefarious purposes. At the ISP I worked for we stopped offering shell accounts to all but our most trusted clients for those exact reasons. The only way I would even consider it would be to have a block of IPs and jail every user. Even then it's a legal and security minefield.

Re: CVS log
In the last episode (Sep 14), Walker said:
Is there a CVS log that is web accessible and allows me to search for
all changes between two releases (for example, version 7.0 and the
upcoming 7.1)?
http://ftp.cz.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-cvs/main/CVSROOT/commitlogs/ (and
some of the other regional FreeBSD sites) has all the commit entries.
7.0 was released in late February, so if you look at all the files
between then and now, only looking at things committed to the RELENG_7
branch, you'll have your changes.
If you install the subversion port, the command
svn log -v -r '{2008-2-27}:HEAD' svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/7/
will print all commits to the RELENG_7 branch between then and now.
