If you want to avoid proc, try

net-mgmt/iftop
or
net/trafshow

I prefer trafshow, but haven't tried vnstat.

Not a gui app, but I use "netstat -I em0 1" a lot to watch my network
activity.  Replace em0 with your nic device.  Gkrellm is a gui app that
gives you little network histograms for each interface, but they're little :)

You can run "systat -if" to see how much bandwidth is being used by the 
computer.  At 1M you should see around 120KB/s downlink.

The Bps Down is supposed to me 1M.  Up is 864Kbps.  I spent hours

Re0 driver or hardware problem?

[Gabor Radnai]

Hi,

I have an Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard with integrated Nvidia MCP51 Gigabit
Ethernet NIC and
TP-Link TG-3468 PCIe network card which is basically using Realtek chip.

I have several problems:

1. There is a boot time menu for tp-link card which says it is a 8111b/8111c
but re driver supports
RTL8139C+, RTL8169, RTL8169S, RTL8110S, RTL8168S, RTL8111S and RTL8101E. Is
it correct using the re driver?
2. The Nvidia network interface is working properly but the other though it
seems recognized by OS I cannot use.
Sporadically it remains down and if it gets up then does not get ip address
via DHCP nor help if I set static ip address.
Can manipulate via ifconfig but unreachable via IP.

I replaced cable, interchanged cable working with Nvidia, restarted
switch/router but no luck so far.

And advise please?

Thanks,
Gabor

re: mount_smbfs problem after upgrade Samba 3.4 -> 3.5

[Bartosz Stec]

Hi,

Hello!

I'm doing a major overhaul of our Samba servers including an upgrade to
the latest port version, 3.5.6. I'm getting most things in place but a
remaining problem is that I cannot any longer use mount_smbfs:

mount_smbfs -I 192.168.1.8 //peo at mars  
/inter /home/mnt
Password:
mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error

Samba server log says:
mbd/sesssetup.c:1703(reply_sesssetup_and_X)
reply_sesssetup_and_X:  Attempted encrypted session setup without
negprot denied!


smbclient works fine and so does connecting to the shares from Windows
and Konqerour like "smb://192.168.1.8/".  

Anybody on the list with enough knowledge of Samba that could take a
shot at this? Apparently something changed between version 3.4 and 3.5
of Samba.
My knowledge about Samba is limited at best, but it seems that I found 
possible couse and working override (solution?). Check this PR:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=151887
If this fixes your problem too, please submit followup - more 
information port maintainer gets, less time he's gonna need to fix this.

Re: Fetching distfiles via cron does not download...

[Leslie Jensen]

Lystic Emsen skrev 2010-11-02 12:44:



According to the handbook this command is supposed to do that.

portsnap -I cron update



Yeah, you are right, I missed that.  However, the problem is that you didn't
specify the full path to portsnap.  That will cause it to fail and the&&
operator won't let it proceed.  When using cron, you need to specify the
full path because cron doesn't have access to all the environment variables
your normal shell does.

If what you say is correct then I shouldn't get the result of 
pkg_version -vIL telling me that there are ports that need an upgrade, 
should I?

hi lystic,

finally i remembered to look in /usr/ports/UPDATING which says:

20100409:
  AFFECTS: users of lang/php5
  AUTHOR: a...@freebsd.org

  As of PHP 5.3, a few extensions were removed from or included into the
core
  PHP5 package.  Follow the steps below to update your installation.

  1) Delete the following packages (if installed):

 - php5-dbase
 - php5-ncurses
 - php5-pcre
 - php5-spl
 - php5-ming
 - php5-mhash

  2) Rebuild lang/php5 and all ports that depend on it.

Yes but it's one less. Most recently I emailed a VPS provider and got the

Could be that the docs are written for Linux or another version of

Put this line high into this file:

Ok - if that isn't working, then check to see if your ftp server is
logging to syslog under auth or authpriv. If not you'll need to change
the setup to get the logs from the right place.

So i added this:

auth.info;authpriv.info;ftp.info/var/log/auth.log


This is existing:

ftp.info/var/log/xferlog




I see my failed attempts going to auth.log and sshguard is still not 
blocking or logging..


I restarted both syslog and sshguard.. I feel like we are almost there

I do not see ftp going to auth:

yeaguy# grep -i  pure /var/log/auth.log
yeaguy# grep -i ftp /var/log/auth.log
Oct 30 07:36:49 yeaguy sshd[74718]: subsystem request for sftp
Oct 30 08:37:25 yeaguy sshd[74942]: subsystem request for sftp
Oct 30 08:51:20 yeaguy sshd[74984]: subsystem request for sftp
Oct 30 12:49:04 yeaguy sshd[2301]: subsystem request for sftp

Nov  2 08:46:14 yeaguy sshd[17241]: subsystem request for sftp
yeaguy#


But I dont have pure-ftp looking at pam so that makes sense right?
Probably wouldnt show  up there then? I am doing virtual user for
pure-ftp.

Here is the passwd db for pure:

yeaguy# grep pure /etc/inetd.conf
ftp  stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd pure-ftpd -l
puredb:/usr/local/etc/pureftpd.pdb
yeaguy#

so i need to pipe the pure db to auth?

thanks,

Do you have the syslog.conf part set up as well as the pf part? I've
only used it for ssh but something like the following needs to be
there:

auth.info;authpriv.info |exec /usr/local/sbin/sshguard


yeaguy#  nslookup  a214.amber.fastwebserver.de

I wouldn't waste your time trying to find out who they are - just
block and move on. That site is probably a shared web hosting account
that was compromised by a bad php script - even if you successfully
complain (assuming it is a legit hoster that cares) and they do
something about it, there are thousands more.

This is the guide I used:

http://www.sshguard.net/docs/setup/firewall/pf/

I followed this section to block all brute attempts:

Add this line in the packet filtering (rules) section:

block in quick on $ext_if proto tcp from  to any port 22 label 
"ssh bruteforce"


Replace $ext_if with your WAN interface name if needed. Omit the proto tcp 
and the to any port 22 segment if you want to block all the traffic from 
attackers (not just ssh).



I really like this port, just keeps the logs from filling up..

Im not going to email their abuse desk just wishing that sshguard would do 
what I expected it to do via the how to..   :(

It should recurse through the DNS hierarchy, starting at the servers for
.  then the servers for org then the servers for freebsd and finally
give you a result.

I guess this means either you or your ISP is filtering access on port 53
other than to their severs, or else your ISP has a connectivity issue.
can you currently resolve any .org domains? (netbsd.org or openbsd.org
or apache.org spring to mind)

Options menu: Rescan Devices works to pick up devices like a USB disk or 
memstick that you may even have booted off but sysinstall then fails to 
find, as it does with some older kit and/or slow devices (here memsticks 
on USB1 ports).

 > My situation was in 9-CURRENT.

When running sysinstall(8) as init from a CD/DVD/memstick boot, you can 
do mostly what you like to the disk/s in terms of slicing - fdisk and 
like boot0cfg under the hood - and partitioning of slices - bsdlabel 
under the hood, or rather sysinstall's version of those utilities; it 
still uses libdisk(3) rather than libgeom(3), at 8-STABLE anyway.

When running sysinstall from a booted system (where you could exit after 
any committed steps and restart it, as mentioned above) you need to have 
previously set sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 (the 'foot-shooting' bit) 
if you want to be able to write to sector 0 (the boot sector including 
MBR) or to any non-boot slice - even unmounted - on the boot disk.

Sysinstall doesn't let you know when you've failed to modify the disk, 
sadly, hence mysterious problems such as the above.  It's fairly obvious 
when it fails to newfs some partitions you think you've nicely set up :)

Same goes for sade(8).  Neither manpage mentions kern.geom.debugflags, 
but boot0cfg(8) does, and points to the fuller description in geom(4).

I haven't checked up on new work on sysinstall on -CURRENT for a while, 
but suspect that you'll still have to set that flag to write to any disk 
that's in use.  Don't forget to set it back to 0 later!

What does this give:

fetch http://portsnap1.freebsd.org/pub.ssl
fetch http://portsnap1.freebsd.org/snapshot.ssl
openssl rsautl -pubin -inkey pub.ssl -verify < snapshot.ssl

You should get something like:
portsnap|1288656202|c4523276897a50ff0ca27add61344a4e96cc19a5f7e0bc8f8e17d138819e19a2

It seems like you are having a problem fetching the tag - can you ping

This is a separate issue due to bad DNS - the list of mirrors is obtained from:

host -t srv _http._tcp.portsnap.freebsd.org

and falls back to just portsnap.freebsd.org if it doesn't work.

I tried it eight times in quick succession and it finally worked.
Obviously, there is something wrong somewhere. I don't know who to
contact to get it looked at though. As you stated, it could not find
any mirrors either.

Yeah, you are right, I missed that.  However, the problem is that you didn't
specify the full path to portsnap.  That will cause it to fail and the &&
operator won't let it proceed.  When using cron, you need to specify the
full path because cron doesn't have access to all the environment variables
your normal shell does.

Continuing problem with "portsnap"

Since "portsnap' has been failing on my system, I tried a different
approach and decided to rebuild the port entirely rather than just
download an updated snapshot. This is the result of just such a
venture:

portsnap fetch extract   
Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.
Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap1.FreeBSD.org... failed.
Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap5.FreeBSD.org... failed.
Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap2.FreeBSD.org... failed.

I don't see where you are doing a portsnap fetch first.  If you haven't

done a fetch, then the update will probably fail.  If the update fails,
because you are using&&  it won't execute the next part of your script.


According to the handbook this command is supposed to do that.

portsnap -I cron update

The script /root/bin/cv_portsnap_cron

#!/bin/sh
portmaster --clean-distfiles-all
portmaster -aF

You can normally find out what rate the modem has synced to your ISP at - that 
should tell you the theoretical maximum raw throughput. It's normally obtained 
via a web browser but some modems can also be configured to provide it over 
SNMP.  

By the way your subject lines could be improved - they don't tend to be very 
descriptive :)

After having had no success with sendmail and sasl, I switched to
mail/dma and it worked right away.

Fetching distfiles via cron does not download...

[Leslie Jensen]

Hello list.

I have the following in /etc/crontab

@reboot root portsnap -I cron update && /root/bin/cv_portsnap_cron && 
pkg_version -vIL=




The script /root/bin/cv_portsnap_cron

#!/bin/sh
portmaster --clean-distfiles-all
portmaster -aF




Message received from cron:


===>>> Gathering distinfo list for installed ports

libxul-1.9.2.9_1<   needs updating (index has 1.9.2.12)
pciids-20101005 <   needs updating (index has 20101020)


Even so I do not get the distfiles downloaded.

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks


/Leslie

If your modem or router has some means of configuring it, typically via
a browser, you can get usually get that information there.
