I'm already using the AllowUsers facility of ssh to only allow specific
users in, so I'm not overly concerned about the attempts.

This is for a FreeBSD 8.x box running pf, btw.


It's probably major overkill and may not fit your needs but this article 
by Colin Percival is an interesting enhancement to the non-standard port 
solution.

set connection to a modem

2012-11-28 Thread s m
hello guys,

i want to connect my freebsd system to modem and configure it via my
freebsd. i thought that i should change /etc/ttys file to set speed and
other configuration. in order to check if i am right or not, i comment ttyu
line in ttys file and expect the modem got disconnected but the modem still
works and can access to it.

i googled and found that there are three files in /etc that we can edit
them to configure our devices: /etc/ttys, /etc/gettytab and
/etc/rc.d/serial.sh. moreover we can edit init file for each device in /dev
to set default speed and other configuration by stty command.

now i am confused and don't know which file i should edit to set speed and
flow control and other setting to have a connection to my modem. i mean
from which file i can configure my connection? i know it's too easy but
please clear it for me.

yours,

The answer higly depends on what you want todo with your modem; if you
want to dial-out, you do not need the above files; your terminal
application (for example 'kermit') will do this; or the ppp/chat will
do;

if you want to offer dial-in service (for fax or for data/login), check
the ports for 'HylaFAX' or for 'mgetty' and follow the installation
guide;

Hello,

Modem configuration itself has nothing to do with getty and ttys
(terminals).
You only need them if you want to configure modem for plain dial-in: i.e.
somebody dials you, FreeBSD starts getty on this line, and lets your peer
enter your system.

If you want your peer to use PPP (to use IP over it, for example) you would
not need to configure ttys also.

And you do not need it  if you want to dial-up somewhere too.

What exactly you want to do?

Ilya.

Next csup tool to fetch src/ and ports/

2012-11-28 Thread David Demelier
Hi,

I'm fan of csup, I've been using it for years, since 7.0-RELEASE, however
it will be disabled on February 2013..

I don't care about using portsnap instead, but how to fetch src/ then ?

I will need to use portsnap, to fetch ports build subversion and then I can
fetch the src, fetch the ports again using svn this time, that's a little
bit painful.

Maybe we can try to write something like srcsnap with the same behavior /
features as portsnap ?

Cheers,

It's called freebsd-update. :-) Provided you're happy with RELEASE and 
don't want to track STABLE or CURRENT, you can use freebsd-update to 
update just /usr/src. Simply find the line in /etc/freebsd-update.conf 
that reads


Components src world kernel

and change it to read

Components src

and it will only touch /usr/src. If do you want to track anything other 
than RELEASE you'll have to use svn.

pretty sure there are global sites with similar data.

 www.wunderground.com  has more than you could want to know.

 Odds are good that somebody near you has a private weather station on

Some of that may be due to the installation.  In the sun, on the 
sheltered side of a building, that sort of thing.


I found some code to use an Arduino as a USB wireless receiver for 
inexpensive temperature/humidity sensors like the Meade TS34C.  It 
requires some modification to a common wireless module.  So far, I have 
not got it working.

Re: set connection to a modem

On Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:44:18 +0330, s m wrote:
 hello guys,
 
 i want to connect my freebsd system to modem and configure it via my
 freebsd.

For doing _what_ exactly? I ask because depending on your
goal there might be different approaches neccessary:

a) dial out to connect to the Internet
b) dial out to dial in to something else (e. g. shell access)
c) dial out to send a fax
d) dial out to make annoying phone calls :-)
e) dial in so people can dial your system and log in
f) dial in so people can send you fax
g) dial in so you can control something using DTMF
...

There are many possibilities, each requiring a different
thing to do on FreeBSD (because they are obviously different(.

And of course: Are you talking about a real modem (external
serial modem), some modem card (often dysfunctional WinModem),
or a USB modem? Brand and model?



 i thought that i should change /etc/ttys file to set speed and
 other configuration.

Wouldn't you better do this with ppp.conf? Just assuming you
want to dial _out_.



 in order to check if i am right or not, i comment ttyu
 line in ttys file and expect the modem got disconnected but the modem still
 works and can access to it.

The /etc/ttys file doesn't restrict you in controlling the
modem from your host system.



 i googled and found that there are three files in /etc that we can edit
 them to configure our devices: /etc/ttys, /etc/gettytab and
 /etc/rc.d/serial.sh. moreover we can edit init file for each device in /dev
 to set default speed and other configuration by stty command.

Also depends on _what_ you are going to do.



 now i am confused and don't know which file i should edit to set speed and
 flow control and other setting to have a connection to my modem. i mean
 from which file i can configure my connection? i know it's too easy but
 please clear it for me.

Really, I assume you're talking about dialing out with a serial
modem in order to connect to the Internet (or some other system),
and then be networked with it.

In that case you would add an entry to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. Allow
me to provide an example that I've been using on FreeBSD 4 and 5:

# PPP Configuration File
# See /usr/share/examples/ppp/ for some examples
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/ppp/ppp.conf,v 1.8 2001/06/21 15:42:26 brian Exp $

default:
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
set device /dev/cuaa0
set speed 115200
set dial ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \\ AT OK-AT-OK 
ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0
set timeout 180
enable dns

papchap:
 # edit the next three lines and replace the items in caps with
 # the values which have been assigned by your ISP.
set phone PHONE_NUM
set authname USERNAME
set authkey PASSWORD
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
add default HISADDR

mymodem:
set phone 01234567890
set authname myname
set authkey mypass
add default HISADDR

The example name I've chosen here is mymodem. Change it
to something meaningful. :-)

The essential authorisation data here is the phone number
of 01234567890, the username 'myname' and the password 'mypass'

Note that today it may be required to change the device name!
I haven't tried to do anything with a modem on current FreeBSD,
so I can't be more specific, sorry.

The device name /dev/cuaa0 will probably need a change. And
then set speed 115200 sets the speed you need.

If you've done everything properly, you would do something like

# ppp mymodem
ppp dial

Then the modem should dial. With close you close the connection.
There are options for /etc/rc.conf (the ppp_* variables) that
allow you to automate things, like dial on demand.





In contradiction, in /etc/ttys something like

ttyd0   /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 dialup   on  secure

would enable you a serial console access (e. g. to connect a
serial terminal to) at a speed of 9k6 (e. g. a DEC vt100). When
connected via serial cable, you would receive a login prompt.

Again, note that ttyd0 might not be valid here.

I tried a few experiments just now, and it still looks to me like the 
EBR is the problem.  Unfortunately, I don't know how to work around it. 
Certainly it should be possible to do this.  It's a matter of getting 
the partitioning tools to do it.



Anything else I can try?


Share sda10 with FreeBSD swap.  Then use slice 1 for one bare FreeBSD 
filesystem with no subpartitioning at all.


# gpart modify -i1 -t freebsd-ufs da0

It will require some work with the installer.  Probably you'll have to 
newfs and mount it as mentioned before.  After FreeBSD boots, figure out 
which is the swap partition and add that to /etc/fstab.

You might try tailoring the National Weather Service's model to interpolate to 
your exact location.  Modify the link below to contain your latitude 
(textField1)
and longitude (textField2).  Note that longitude is negative in the U.S.  You
can get lat and long via google maps or a gps.

Don't know how accurate it will be, but where I am it seems to take care of
the change due to mountains and elevation pretty well.

I chose 8.2, to get another version for partitioning.

There is no pkg.conf supplied. It's named as pkg.conf.sample this fact

the original install of pkg.


No, in general you can't assume that you'll be able to browse the repo
using a web browser or similar.  Even if you could, all you'ld see is a
lot of pkg tarballs which would tell you the package names and versions
and how much data you'll need to download and not a lot else.  Use the
repo catalogue.  It can tell you almost anything you might want to know
about the available packages in the repo.

Cheers,

[*] Note: the default URL uses an SRV record in the DNS, which typical
web browsers don't know how to handle.  You'll just get NXDOMAIN if you
try and point Firefox at it.

For those who know how to handle SRV records, it looks like this:

Yes the url pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org can be browsed using a browser.
As of Nov 28 pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org only contains the pkg package.
So in conclusion, pkg is not ready for testing.

i386 vs amd64

2012-11-28 Thread mike miskulin
About to build a replacement system for an older i386 setup.   A few
years ago I had tried the amd64 port on it and found it was frustrating
as things that just worked on i386 did not on amd64. IIRC ports were 
large annoyance too.

Now I have a new system with 8GB, etc,etc and wonder if I am best off to
stick with i386 and PAE or is the amd64 version finally on a par or
close enough that I would not likely have many issues like in the past?

Thanks for your thoughts/(recent) experiences.

What port was that ?

I've never had a *single* problem due to using amd64 over i386.

From a professional point of view, we're using over 60 amd64 fbsd 8.0 8.1 8.2 
and 8.3 boxes at work and they work just fine.


I for one can recommend the 64 bits version.

Do you use emulators/wine?  If not, switch to amd64.  In fact, even if 
you do, switch to amd64 to use that 8G of memory.  Building 32-bit Wine 
on amd64 is a hassle, but packages are available and I think there is a

Well I have to apologize, I've reached senility!  My past bad experience
was with netbsd amd64 afterwhich I bailed and went to FreeBSD i386
(thanks google).

But I guess the basic question remains - are there any considerations in

The only problem might be if you want to use wine. As it has
been said, there are binary packages (wine_amd64, if I remember
correctly), but the rest of the system should run good on
amd64 as it did on i386.

Sidenote: I switched back from 8.2/amd64 to 8.2/i386 because
of three reasons (in fact, two reasons and one justification):
I had problems with wine, problems with nVidia's driver (plus
a faulty GPU), and I only have 2 GB RAM. Anywhere else, I have
not experienced problems with amd64.

Hi,
It may be better lately, last time I checked was a couple of years ago!
http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/hdfForecast?query=los+altos+hills
Station #1 on the map comes up as being on the other side of the 280,
and it looks like it's up on top of the mountain.
I don't remember station 3 or 4 being there a few years ago, maybe it
was. Right now I'm approximately in the center of 1,2,3,4.
At the moment there's about a 5 to 6 degrees difference between 3 and 1.
It wasn't a scientific comparison :-), i remember looking at the
weather on the site one day and noticed the temp was about 10 degrees
different at that moment :)

 I could be wrong here but I think you have a loop. You are redirecting
 from local interface to local interface i.e. the result of redirect is
 still subject for redirect. Could you try one of the following:

 1. Make this a `rdr in on $int_if`.

 2. Make this a `rdr pass ... - 127.0.0.1 port 8080`. I prefer this way
 so port for transparent forwarding is unreachable except when explicitly
 redirecting to it.

 Personally I newer allow such ambiguity in my configs.


 #1 gives a syntax error when I try to load it.

 #2 My intention is to redirect only ftp traffic with this rule so that's why
 I use port 8021.

 Do you mean that I should redirect even ftp traffic to port 8080?

Well, that depends on what you want to do.

If you want FTP traffic to go to ftp-proxy running on the firewall,
then redirect to 8021.
If you want it to go to your squid proxy, then send it to port 8080 on $proxy.



Let's redo your redirects correctly.
I'll expand upon Volodymyr's idea of not confusing normal rules with
ones matching a packet that was redirected, through the use of tags.



# 1/ redirect web traffic to the proxy $proxy on port $proxyport
rdr in on $int_if inet proto tcp from !$proxy to any port 80 - $proxy
port $proxyport tag rdr_proxy

# 2/ redirect FTP traffic to the ftp-proxy running on the local
machine on port 8021
rdr in on $int_if inet proto tcp from $int_if:network to any port 21
- 127.0.0.1 port 8021 tag rdr_ftp

# 3/ access rule to allow traffic from the local net to your proxy
pass in quick on $int_if inet proto tcp flags S/SAFR tagged rdr_proxy

# 4/ access rule to allow traffic from the local net to your FTP proxy
pass in quick on $int_if inet proto tcp flags S/SAFR tagged rdr_ftp

# 5/ access rule to allow your proxy to do whatever it wants in a very
limited fashion
pass in quick on $int_if inet proto tcp from $proxy to any port { 80
443 } flags S/SAFR



I liked Volodymyr's original intent behind the rdr pass, the use of
tags here allows you to setup actual pass/block rules and still match
packets coming from a redirect.
This has many advantages, including:
- quick keyword
- flags matching
- use of labels to keep stats, if you'd like to

Well basically it only has advantages.


Let me know if that helped.

 Hi.

imho the most secure way is to add an entry to sudoers(5) (you can use 
visudo(8) to edit sudoers(5)) allowing the apache privilege-separation user 
(www? we use apache here -- check your httpd.conf for User) to execute that 
specific command without a password. The entry might look something like this:

apache ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/ipfw

That will allow the apache user to do things like:

sudo ipfw table 7 add …

because sudo will allow password-less privilege escalation to root (but only 
for ipfw, nothing else, for security reasons naturally).

It's trying to mount the whole slice rather than individual FreeBSD 
partitions inside that slice.  I don't know how--or if--Linux has a way 
to refer to those partitions.  The FreeBSD notation would be ada0s1a, 
ada0s1b (swap), ada0s1d, ada0s1e.  c refers to the whole disk, not an 
individual partition.



There's still the multi-boot issue. How to boot FreeBSD and Linux.


Grub can do it, as can others.  Can't speak to the details, though.

You might want to try a chainloader boot from grub.  The following is a
chainloader rule that I have used, as well as a normal loader boot.  I
use the loader boot, but I also tested the chainloader boot.  You will
need a ufs2_stage1_5 file in your grub directory for a loader boot, and
linux grub might not have it available.

audio CD/CD-TEXT

Hi,

A girl sent me her CD and it appears that she created a mixed mode

such a disc in the past 10 years so I'm at a loss.

I can dump the audio tracks (cdda2wav) and/or play the audio disc with mplayer.

Anyone with a pointer on how to get at the CD-TEXT info? ie, read the
lyrics. THANKS!

Re: set connection to a modem

2012-11-28 Thread s m
thanks guys for your replies,

now i understand two types of connections are available by modem, dial-in
and dial-out.
honestly, i should do it for my boss and don't know what he should want
exactly to do but i am sure that he has an external serial modem and wants
to config it by AT commands via a freebsd system; therefore i think our
connection is dial-out.

now which files i should edit? just ppp.conf? and because our modem
supports specific speed and flow control, is it necessary to set these
parameters in my freebsd? and if yes, how i can do that?  please help me to
do that

thanks

 For doing _what_ exactly? I ask because depending on your

 a) dial out to connect to the Internet
 b) dial out to dial in to something else (e. g. shell access)
 c) dial out to send a fax
 d) dial out to make annoying phone calls :-)
 e) dial in so people can dial your system and log in
 f) dial in so people can send you fax
 g) dial in so you can control something using DTMF
 ...

 There are many possibilities, each requiring a different
 thing to do on FreeBSD (because they are obviously different(.

 And of course: Are you talking about a real modem (external
 serial modem), some modem card (often dysfunctional WinModem),
 or a USB modem? Brand and model?



  i thought that i should change /etc/ttys file to set speed and
  other configuration.

 Wouldn't you better do this with ppp.conf? Just assuming you
 want to dial _out_.



  in order to check if i am right or not, i comment ttyu
  line in ttys file and expect the modem got disconnected but the modem
 still
  works and can access to it.

 The /etc/ttys file doesn't restrict you in controlling the
 modem from your host system.



  i googled and found that there are three files in /etc that we can edit
  them to configure our devices: /etc/ttys, /etc/gettytab and
  /etc/rc.d/serial.sh. moreover we can edit init file for each device in
 /dev
  to set default speed and other configuration by stty command.

 Also depends on _what_ you are going to do.



  now i am confused and don't know which file i should edit to set speed
 and
  flow control and other setting to have a connection to my modem. i mean
  from which file i can configure my connection? i know it's too easy but
  please clear it for me.

 Really, I assume you're talking about dialing out with a serial
 modem in order to connect to the Internet (or some other system),
 and then be networked with it.

 In that case you would add an entry to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. Allow
 me to provide an example that I've been using on FreeBSD 4 and 5:

 # PPP Configuration File
 # See /usr/share/examples/ppp/ for some examples
 # $FreeBSD: src/etc/ppp/ppp.conf,v 1.8 2001/06/21 15:42:26 brian Exp $

 default:
 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
 set device /dev/cuaa0
 set speed 115200
 set dial ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \\ AT OK-AT-OK
 ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0
 set timeout 180
 enable dns

 papchap:
  # edit the next three lines and replace the items in caps with
  # the values which have been assigned by your ISP.
 set phone PHONE_NUM
 set authname USERNAME
 set authkey PASSWORD
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 add default HISADDR

 mymodem:
 set phone 01234567890
 set authname myname
 set authkey mypass
 add default HISADDR

 The example name I've chosen here is mymodem. Change it
 to something meaningful. :-)

 The essential authorisation data here is the phone number
 of 01234567890, the username 'myname' and the password 'mypass'

 Note that today it may be required to change the device name!
 I haven't tried to do anything with a modem on current FreeBSD,
 so I can't be more specific, sorry.

 The device name /dev/cuaa0 will probably need a change. And
 then set speed 115200 sets the speed you need.

 If you've done everything properly, you would do something like

 # ppp mymodem
 ppp dial

 Then the modem should dial. With close you close the connection.
 There are options for /etc/rc.conf (the ppp_* variables) that
 allow you to automate things, like dial on demand.





 In contradiction, in /etc/ttys something like

 ttyd0   /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 dialup   on  secure

 would enable you a serial console access (e. g. to connect a
 serial terminal to) at a speed of 9k6 (e. g. a DEC vt100). When
 connected via serial cable, you would receive a login prompt.

 Again, note that ttyd0 might not be valid here.
