Spam Filtering
My setup is basically everything gets pumped though procmail and ends up in an Courier imap directories. I'm thinking of going with something like SpamBouncer (procmail filter).

RTG config
Hi all, I have RTG setup and running and appears to be ok. I used the default install options (from ports) and seems to be working, but only on the interfaces (3 network cards). (just ran 'createdb' then 'rtgtarmkr.pl') snmpwalk is showing values for cpu, memory, etc; but RTG isn't polling them. From what I gather, I need to create the database tables; then add the info to 'targets.cfg'? All of this should be pretty standard right? Anyone have a script to create the database tables and targets file?

Procmail/processing question
Procmail is working, but during a system upgrade I basically broke it for a bit. While it was down, all the mail was being collected in /var/mail/[username] Normally, it processes incoming mail and puts it in /home/[username]/Maildir/XYZ (this is what courier imap is using). It is working and processing mail as normal; but the problem is that /var/mail/[username] has collected tons of mail that needs to be "processed" via procmail. Is there a way I can pipe all this mail into procmail so that it'll be "processed" like normal. I'm thinking something like "cat /var/mail/[username] | procmail -SomeFancyOption" thoughts? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

IPFW Rules and Games
Lots of people play games here and basically a pain to keep trying to get these stupid things to work with individual rules for each. I'm running FreeBSD 6.x with IPFW/natd I get a dynamic IP from my ISP and the internal nic is 192.168.17.1 Everything inside the network is 192.168.17.xxx The setup is this: 192.168.17.x <--> 192.168.17.1 <[FreeBSD]> Dynamic IP <--> {Random Game Server on the Internets} [Internet Network(GAME)] <--> [FreeBSD] <--> {Internets} There are a bunch of games that send out TCP/UDP packets (and who knows what else) on different ports to different destinations and then receive data back on "random" ports. Basically, anything on any protocol from the internal network should be able to establish and setup connections out AND be allowed to receive data back from whomever they connected out to; but "random" hosts trying to connect in should be blocked. I added this for a temporary fix: ${fwcmd} add pass all from any to any I don't think that is the right answer; That allows to much in?

Firewalls in FreeBSD?
Right now I have a Windows machine a FreeBSD natd/firewall then a cable modem. This is working for web surfing. But I've been playing a lot of games lately and it doesn't work at all (for multiplayer/internet games). Basically the games send/receive data on random ports, and I think it's going out fine - but doesn't come back in. Is this a problem with nat or because I have a stateless firewall? I've played around with this on and off for the last while and haven't gotten any where with it. Do you think this would work better or at least be easier to configure/debug if I moved to pf instead?

Re: Firewalls in FreeBSD?
yes, that is my setup. hrm... well, I disabled the firewall completely, restarted, but still doesn't work. I have gateway and natd both enabled. x10 is the "external" interface (the one that is dhcp and connects to the cable modem). I don't want to redirect anything to my windows box. I just want anything that connects out from my windows box to be able to connect or send data back in. For example, I load up a client (game) and it connects out on XYZ port. The server will send data back on ABC. The problem, from what I can tell; is that I can get a connection out - but when the server tries to send data back on ABC it is discarded.

Re: Firewalls in FreeBSD?
Ok, I had some progress with this last night. Basically what I do is: in natd - redirect_port 1000 to 1 to the internal windows box. set ipfw to "open" file wall. Obviously this isn't prefect - but gives some idea of what's going on. What I'd like to do, is a) keep the nat redirects since that works pretty well. b) in ipfw, ONLY allow data back on these ports IF the windows box has established the connection out first then deny everything else. I tried this, but it didn't work for anything (tried 5-6 differant games): ${fwcmd} add allow tcp from any to any out via x10 setup keep-state ${fwcmd} add allow udp from any to any out via xl0 keep-state ${fwcmd} add allow icmp from any to any out via xl0 keep-state ${fwcmd} add 100 check-state mdh wrote: --- On Wed, 10/29/08, Jeremy Chadwick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Jeremy Chadwick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Firewalls in FreeBSD?

If packets are going out certain sessions and your firewall isn't then allowing back in you would see the issue you are seeing. I am not sure how this is accomplished via ipfw as I use pf but there would be a tonne of documentation out there on how to make your rules stateful. Are you sure about that? Read his statement once more: For example, I load up a client (game) and it connects out on XYZ port. The server will send data back on ABC. I assume based on this, the following is happening: - 192.168.x.x:a sends packet to gameserver:xyz - NAT gateway translates packet (where "natgw" is a public WAN IP) 192.168.x.x:a <--> natgw:b <--> gameserver:xyz - gameserver sees packet to port xyz, and initiates new connection to natgw:abc - NAT gateway drops packet destined to WAN IP port abc, because the gameserver:abc connection is *new*, and does not relate to the previous NAT'd gameserver:xyz connection. If this is **truly** how the protocol works (the OP will need to be absolutely 100% positive of that fact; I recommend he reconfirm how it works), then the only solution is to set up a port forward on the NAT gateway for port abc to point to 192.168.x.x. This also means that only one computer on the LAN will be capable of playing this game. Not much one can do about that, other than write the authors of the game and explain that their protocol is absolutely disgusting. Does the game support IPv6? This may be a work-around for you, since you can get a relatively large chunk of IPs for free via any one of a number of tunnel brokers. If possible, ask your IP provider if they provide native IPv6 transport first. A few do, in North America and Europe, and a surprising lot do in Asia, especially Japan and South Korea. If you're on a North American consumer ISP, chances are a tunnel broker is your only option for v6 connectivity, however. If the game doesn't support IPv6, however, then you are likely stuck with playing with port forwarding from the public routable address, however. It stinks, so feel free to lobby your ISP, the game's designers, and any other involved parties, about supporting IPv6 connectivity. In essence, a problem like the one Mr. Chadwick is eluding to is one of the primary motivating forces behind the adoption of IPv6 to begin with. - mdh ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: atom based servers
Curious, how did you get it installed? My motherboard doesn't have an IDE port (so, no IDE CD-ROM) and don't think booting from USB-CDROM is supported Booting from USB Flash drive works?

Since it's an Atom 330, it fully supports 64-bit mode (an opportunity I have grasped with both hands). The board I happen to be using is an Intel DG945GCLF2 - a clone board with just 1 DIMM slot and two SATA ports. Everything I need to have supported Just Worked out of the box.

Custom Build
Hello all, How this is the correct list to post this to, if not, please point me to a more apporiate list. What I want to do is make a custom automated build for FreeBSD. Basically, create a build, burn it to CD-ROM, go stick it into a server and it automatically configures to the correct hardware, auto sets up the file system (1 hard drive per server) and then reboots. When it comes back up, I have a full functionaly customized FreeBSD install. The only interaction that should happen during the install, is putting in the hostname, select static or dynamic ip and then [for non-FreeBSD app] select to save to local or network drive. I'm good with perl/bash, etc, so I know how to create a script to automate the install for our application. I need to do this on a lot of servers, so doing a manual install would take weeks. Each server has 1 hard drive, all the data is stored on a very robust file server that gets backed up, if the hard drive fails, we just replace, rebuild and contiune where we left off. During the install, it should just partion off 512 for swap, then use rest of disk for root directory. Each disk may be a differant size, but they will all be more then 2 gigs. The build I want to create would be a "mini-FreeBSD", just the kernal, some basic programs and 1 non-FreeBSD application. The only port that would be open is for SSHD and all servers would sit behind a firewall in there own seperate subnet (firewall only routes http requests to upload data and incoming ssh connections). We're currently using a very old custom Linux build, it's less then 10 megs total. The problem we are having with this, is that it doesn't support all the newer hardware we use (the build is about 4-5 years old) and FreeBSD is our "standard operating envoriment" (as far as servers goes), the admins here are more famlair with FreeBSD so it makes sense to switch to FreeBSD since we have to update the build anyways (the guy that made the build isn't here any more and the rest of us are FreeBSD fan-boys :P ) All the other FreeBSD servers that aren't in the cluster/grid are manually installed. Could someone point me in the right direction or to some documentation or other resources?

Disk problems?

ip refresh, resolv.conf and local scripts on startup?
I have a script that updates some dynamic DNS records (can be run as non-root if needed). It needs to be run on startup - after network is configured and after rc.firewall (it'll get blocked if it's run before the firewall is setup). What is a good place to put this? I could put it at the end of rc.firewall, but is there a better place to put it? Also how do I refresh a dynamic IP without rebooting? Sometimes my cable modem gets messed up and under windows I just do: ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew and it gets new IP and sets everything up. In FreeBSD is there a way to reconfigure everything without rebooting? (rc.firewall uses this to get network info: onet=`ifconfig xl0 | grep "inet " | awk '{print $6}'` oip=`ifconfig xl0 | grep "inet " | awk '{print $2}'` Meaning, rc.firewall would also have to be re-ran if the IP is new). [also to make things more complicated, I think I need a rule in rc.firewallto allow for DHCP clients to go out? It gets blocked on external interface when firewall comes up??] Also how do I override /etc/resolv.conf? DHCP client configures it I think and sets it up to point to my ISP DNS servers (which suck) and would like to give it mine instead of there, but it keeps getting over written on startup when it gets a DHCP lease? thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: ip refresh, resolv.conf and local scripts on startup?
hrm, thanks, but this doesn't seem to work: `ifconfig xl0 down` doesn't do anything... executes without error, but the interface stays up. `/sbin/dhclient` gets a new IP, but doesn't "re-do" the firewall with new IP, so everything is broken. echo nameserver 123.34.45.67 > /etc/resolv.conf echo nameserver 321.23.67.328 >> /etc/resolv.conf This is over written on startup/reboot by the dhcpclient. If I modify the file, then it tries to "correct" it self and over writes the file with the DNS servers provided via the DHCP server. Any other ideas?

DNS Cache - Bind
I'm running Bind 9.3.4 on FreeBSD 6.2 for my local network. It doesn't have any zones, it's just a local DNS that has a bunch of forwarders. The first request is slow (between 150 and 300 ms) - but after that (the next query on same domain) is fast (less then 10 ms usually). This is nice and working the way I like it. :) What I'm wondering though is: a) How do I flush the cache if I need to (ie. need to get a new update from the forwards) - just restart named? b) Are there any settings I can tweak that determine how long the cache is kept? (ie. Say I want to keep all queries for 7 days before they are queried from the upstream DNS servers). [This will probably screw up dynamic DNS sites, but want to see what settings are available] c) Is there a easy way to 'blacklist' sites? Say I want 'SpammerNetwork.com' to resolve to 127.0.0.1. Basically I want to take this host file: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm and then pump it into my DNS server, that way all the LAN clients are "protected" from these sites.

If dmesg itself returns none of the startup info, you can look in /var/log/dmesg.[today|yesterday]. /usr/sbin/pciconf can tell you what controller(s) may be attached. A proper RAID will show up as a single device, just like any hard drive (but different). It does seem odd to me that a (supposed) RAID would show up as /dev/ad4. Possibilities: Your RAID really is on /dev/ad4 and /dev/ad6 is something unexplained. Your RAID controller is unsupported in 5.x and not Doing The Right Thing but somehow still (kind of) working as a normal [S]ATA controller. Your RAID controller is unsupported in 5.x and your hosting company realised this and wired the shebang up as a normal [S]ATA controller because they couldn't get FreeBSD to install otherwise. There is a RAID controller and there are two disks connected to it, but the controller was not set up correctly. There is a RAID controller and there are two disks connected to some other controller which might lead to some interesting phone calls. Your remote hosting company put a RAID with two disks in some random machine and someone else is complaining on some other list about the inverse of your problem. Also what type of RAID? If it's Hardware RAID _and_ it's using a 3ware card, you can install tw_cli from /usr/ports/sysutils. It's a nice little utility and will show you the status of your units/ports/drives and how many drives you have on that controller. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Network storage
Zbigniew Szalbot wrote: Hello, What options do I have of using a network storage device such as Buffalo TeraStation? I can access it from Windows via network share or via FTP protocol. How can I access this device from FreeBSD? TeraStation is on the same LAN as FBSD machine. I would like to use TeraStation for backup purposes as the drives there can hold lots of data. I know I can use FTP but then how would you go about backup? Do backups on the local FBSD drive and then have some kind of script/software (what kind of?) to copy it via FTP to TeraStation? Many thanks in advance! Hi. Yes you can automate ftp transactions. Here is one article: http://www.quepublishing.com/articles/printerfriendly.asp?p=170517&rl=1 I only skimmed that article, but it looks good. A google search is sure to turn up more. I would suggestion against ftp if possible. Scp (or "sftp") is cp/ftp over a "secure" (SSH) connection which allows for encrypt of passwords and/or files. This too can be automated - provided that your network storage device allows SSH connections. Also - using smbmount or smbclient (part of the samba package/port); you can use these to access the "Windows" share on the network storage device. If I remember correctly though, the Windows protocol doesn't encrypt the information, which is as bad as ftp - since the hackers can steal all your passwords, information and files! -J ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Offtopic: x.org verus xFree86?
This is slightly off topic... but anyone know the differences between x.org and xFree86? I was using FreeBSD 4.xxx for the longest time (and some varieties of Linux, OpenBSD, etc) and all where xFree86. I was out of the "scene" for a bit (but still running 4.xxx) and recently upgraded to 6.2 and it has x.org... x.org all over the place. no more traces of xfree86 anywhere! now it's at 7.2 :) Anyone know why x.org split from xFree86? From what I can tell it looks the same (same files, same options etc)... was it just a licensing change or something like that? Just wondering the history behind the different naming and what all changed? Why was it "forked"?

Re: archiving all IMAP mail?

It scales well too, fairly secure and have once place to back up all my emails. C Thala wrote: I need to strictly archive all mail sent to me.

Please explain what you mean by "local accounts". If I'm not mistaken from reading your reply, this implies one of two things: 1. That I have two IMAP servers, one where I get all my mail, and a second one where I push mail after I have filtered/archived it. The first one should only by used by fetchmail, the second one is read by my various IMAP MUAs. 2. That I somehow have write access to the backend of my IMAP server, so I can pull all the mail from INBOX, do my archiving/filtering, and then repush to various folders and read from there. Is that correct? This isn't how I have it, I suppose Jack has a similar setup to mine, I'll detail my setup: First I have postfix installed with sasl/mysql backend, in MySQL I have all the virtual accounts for various domains, for example I have an entry for [EMAIL PROTECTED] which states that it's a normail Mailbox, not an alias it also guides postfix/courier-imap to the folder where the e-mails are stored. When you send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it goes to the vmail folder, Now using the package courier-imap which BTW provides both IMAP and POP3 Server, the email received by postfix can be checked using POP3 and the username [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Full username because this way I can have virtual domains, and the second most important reason is below) Now I have a normal UNIX user account 'wael' which has fetchmail that downloads emails from many accounts, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, and local accounts (Which Jack mentioned as well and it's [EMAIL PROTECTED] for my case), fetchmail spits the mail out to procmail which do all the filtering and deliver the email to /home/wael/.mail folder (If you left the courier-imap config files as they are then you should deliver to Mailfolder instead of .mail, check /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/*) For the IMAP part, When I Use 'wael' instead of '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' it doesn't use the vmail but the UNIX user instead (see below) so it delivers whatever is under /home/wael/.mail :) The trick is that courier-imap has authlib backend (authdaemon) , and authlib has mysql/pam backends, so when u request mails for [EMAIL PROTECTED] it matches mysql qnd goes to virtual mail dir, when you send wael it matches pam and so mail on home folder If you need more assistance don't hesitate to ask... By local accounts, I mean mail that is delivered directly to the server (instead of getting pulled in via fetchmail). And yep, that is basically my setup to. I use sendmail and don't have a mysql backend, but the concept is the same. Have one imap server and then pull/push all emails from all accounts into that imap account The benefits of this, is that all your email is in one location and you have access to it all, regardless of what workstation or client you are using to connect to that server. Once place to filter, backup, search, etc. It can take awhile to setup if your not familiar with mail server software, but once it's working it's very easy to manage a lot of different email accounts/addresses. -J References 1. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 3. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 4. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 5. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 6. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 7. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Off Topic: Sunbird calendar server?
This is a bit off topic, but does anyone know of a "Calendar Server" that is compatible with Sunbird? Basically, I have a personal calender, then we have a "Holidays" calendar and my girlfriend has her own calendar. We want to be able to share the Holidays calendar and also share out/view each others. She is a fan of Google Calendars (which I admit works well), but I'm a fan of Sunbird (since it's local and don't need internets for it to work). I could probably "convert" her to Sunbird if I found a good way to share out our calendars. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
