sshd+pam problem on a fresh 6.2-RELEASE (amd64) install
On a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.2 (amd64), I've run into a problem with sshd and PAM. When the box first boots up, I cannot ssh in. I am immediately disconnected. If I look in /var/log/auth.log, I see: Sep 29 03:20:47 pflog sshd[68798]: in openpam_load_module(): no pam_opieaccess.so found Sep 29 03:20:47 pflog sshd[68798]: fatal: PAM: initialisation failed The /etc/pam.d/sshd file is proper (verified via mergemaster). If I comment out the lines for the opie and opieaccess module, it fails on pam_login_access.so instead, with the same error. I also used the default sshd_config, thinking maybe my customized one was causing a problem. It had the same problem, however, and does this with or without UsePAM yes in sshd_config. Now, here's the weird part: if I restart sshd, it works fine. As a workaround, I can do something ugly like /etc/rc.d/sshd restart in another rc script, but would obviously like to avoid this and find the root cause. Any ideas? I tried doing an ldd on /usr/lib/pam* inside the /etc/rc.d/sshd script, but the output is identical when it starts up on boot as when I restart it. No missing libraries/etc. Thanks, Josh ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Please don't top-post. Anyway, if you're not seeing all 4G, then you are most likely running an i386 kernel/release and not amd64. In order to use 4G on a 32-bit (i386) install, you need to include: options PAE In your kernel config. Note that memory access with PAE is much slower than if you were running a native amd64 kernel/install.

No missing libraries/etc. Problem solved! In going from 32-bit to 64-bit, my login.conf really needed to change. I had a default memory limit of 24MB. Which the sshd user was exceeding at boot time. I recompiled openpam with debugging enabled, and saw this message in /var/log/debug.log: Sep 29 22:03:03 pflog sshd[39515]: in openpam_dynamic(): /usr/lib/pam_opieaccess.so: /usr/lib/pam_op ieaccess.so: mmap of entire address space failed: Cannot allocate memory That's when I had a major "duh" moment and realized I should probably re-examine my login.conf settings.

Personally, I use zsh for root's shell, and I just have the port
compile it statically, so I don't have to worry about a broken
dependency. There are other caveats, of course.
In my case, I just throw this in /etc/make.conf:

Can you paste the config.log from the port's work source directory
(where configure is located)?
Can you try the following and see if it compiles?
echo '#include \nint main(void){ printf("hello world!\\n");
return 0;}\n' > t.c ; gcc t.c -o t; ./t; rm t.c
You should either see:
hello world!
Or some compiler errors/warnings/etc.

No, the ISOs remain the same as when the release happens. You can use freebsd-update or csup /usr/src after installation to get updated. The snapshots are of 6-STABLE, so you wouldn't want to use that if you want -RELEASE.

I think non-program code can also be "inactive". For example, top memory output before: Mem: 337M Active, 1455M Inact, 407M Wired, 352K Cache, 214M Buf, 1745M Free and after: find /usr/src -type f -print0 | xargs -0 cat > /dev/null 2>&1 Mem: 348M Active, 1905M Inact, 402M Wired, 912K Cache, 214M Buf, 1288M Free I am also not sure exactly what constitutes each of these. I only know what the top man page says. And for Buf it says: Buf: number of pages used for BIO-level disk caching I'm not entirely sure what "BIO-level disk caching" is, but it is apparently NOT the caching of filesystem data.

It looks to me like you haven't compiled libdshconfig per the instructions here: http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/software/dsh.html.en Or, it can't find libdshconfig (where it installs by default depends on the behavior of the libdshconfig build), in which case you should set CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to help it find libdshconfig.

I have a patch that addresses this, but I am hesitant to suggest it, since I have not yet validated that it does not trample some additional ext2 metadata. However, in the testing I've done, it has worked with all the tests I've put it through. You can verify the inode size with: tune2fs -l /dev/ad4s1 | grep "Inode size" It is likely 256 (the new e2fsprogs default), in which case you will not be able to see or use the mount without a fix. If you're interested in my patch, let me know and I can send it to you (the machine it is hosted on is down at the moment).

Re: Mounting ext3fs partition

I believe around e2fsprogs version 1.40.5 or so, they changed the default inode size from 128 to 256. The current ext2fs driver in FreeBSD has a hard-coded inode size defined: #define EXT2_INODE_SIZE128 I have a patch that dynamically determines this size, but I do not yet have a good enough understanding of the ext2/3 spec to decide if the changes I made are sufficient to fix the problem or if there is some risk of breakage because the extra 128 is required for some metadata of some sort. What happened in your case is something I was afraid of and what prompted me to look into a fix in the first place - namely, newer Linux distributions or even file systems created by e2fsprogs from ports in FreeBSD will be unusable with the current ext2fs driver, since it assumes a size of 128. There is some more information here regarding the patch and its current status: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/stable/2008-11/msg00421.html I (or even better, someone more knowledgeable about file systems) need to read through the ext2/3 spec and determine if the changes I've made cause any breakage.

Generally, you want to use ".". The only time you'd use a specific tag is in rare cases where you're using an old (EOL'd) version of FreeBSD and want to point to a known-good snapshot of the ports tree for that branch. For example, RELEASE_4_EOL. So the short answer is, stick with "." as the tag.

There are some tricks you can play. Notably, you need to trick auto*
tools into thinking it's an i386 system. I think setting UNAME_m=i386
does the trick there:

FreeBSD pflog.net 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Tue Feb 26

01:20:52 EST 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PFLOG i386
I believe there is something else I'm forgetting that you need to do
to make compilation happy for some ports, but I can't recall them at
the moment.
Of course, things that expect to talk to an i386 kernel aren't going
to work, and you may have issues with things that use hand-written
ASM.
Try setting UNAME_m though and see if it helps. It might also be wise
to set ARCH=i386 and/or TARGET_ARCH=i386 in /etc/ports.conf.

Re: Acroread doesn't find a lib
Does /usr/X11R6/lib/libXfixes.so.3 exist? It is in the xorg-libraries-6.9.0 package, so you might try re-installing it (via ports or pkg_add, depending which you originally used). If it does exist, try running ldconfig to see if the library shows up: ldconfig -r | grep libXfixes.so.3 If it doesn't, you can try: ldconfig -m /usr/X11R6/lib Then see whether it's showing up with ldconfig -r.

Re: HOWTO: run portupgrade with original options for perl5.8
For ports without "make config" you can edit
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf and edit MAKE_ARGS, something like:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'lang/perl5.8' => 'ENABLE_SUIDPERL=yes',
}
Of course, this only affects portupgrade/portinstall/etc. If you want
it to work for manual building of the port with make in the port dir,
you can alternatively edit /etc/make.conf and add something like:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/lang/perl5.8}
ENABLE_SUIDPERL=yes
.endif
Thanks,
Josh

Hello,
I run openwebmail which wants perl compiled -DENABLE_SUIDPERL
However, when I portupgrade perl, this option is apparently not reused, and

I note that there is no entry for perl in /var/db/ports (i.e. no "options" are
recorded).
I also note that the /options that are present for other ports contain the
header:
# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
and when I run make config from /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8 I get
===> No options to configure
So the question is: How do I get portupgrade to remember the options I used

Re: Cleanly remove a package
When upgrading a package say vsftpd, I used port install. After newer version is installed, I have both newer and older versions being listed if run pkg_info. The newer version works fine. You can use portupgrade instead, which should deinstall the old version, then install the new one. You can't install the new one before the old one, so there will be a brief period of time between the make deinstall and make reinstall that it may not be available. Also keep in mind, if you are upgrading something like mysql, you should update pkgtools.conf to restart it afterwards to minimize down time (and so you don't have to remember to restart it). You can look for the AFTERINSTALL section in pkgtools.conf for how to do this.

Re: portupgrade forget package options
Today I found the CPU is drained up by 5 instances of "script" and "dialog", because everyday when portupgrade updates python, it tried to display a menu in text mode and ask for a few options (such as whether python should support IPv6 etc), which of course hangs in cron job. Some ports have a config make target which will save options. For ports that do not, you can use pkgtools.conf and set MAKE_ARGS for that port. It may be that a port was modified to support the config target, but you have not yet run make config for it. It should remember the options after you make config and select the options you want included/excluded.

Is ULE considered stable on SMP systems now, and does it really outperform 4BSD? If so, will it be set as the default scheduler once 7.0 is released? To the original question, go with the Q6600, especially if you can get a G0 stepping. It'll easily do 3.2 GHz (lowered 8x multiplier with 400 MHz FSB) if you get DDR2-800 capable RAM. Even the B3 stepping will do 3.2 I think, but will run hotter. I would avoid P35 chipsets for now, as there is limited support for the south bridge (ICH9). I think there are some patches (which may be merged into -CURRENT, not sure). I'm not sure whether the Marvell chipset(s) used on the P35 boards are supported or not, and USB may or may not work. The P965 chipset boards will support the Q6600 and many of them will support Penryn when it comes out (the 45nm based true quad core Intel CPU). I have an Asus P5B and a Q6600 running at 3.4 GHz on 6.2-RELEASE and it screams (8:20 to build world with make -j8, for example). So even 6.2 will take good advantage of the 4 cores, and I imagine it'll only get better when 7.0 is released. I'd just avoid the bleeding edge motherboards/chipsets.

Oh I wasn't sure if libthr was the preferred thread library for 6.2 also (I'd heard that was the case for -CURRENT).

[SOLVED] Re: login.conf not honored for rc scripts?
Ok, I should have dug into the rc scripts to begin with. For archive sake, and so others who may stumble upon this can find a solution, I found that for mysql, I needed the following in rc.conf: mysql_limits=YES And also, since the mysql rc script is hard-coded to use the login class "mysql", I had to change that name. For apache, it's more configurable, so I was able to add the following: apache22limits_enable=YES apache22limits_args="-e -C www" And I just renamed the gallery class to www for clarity.

and you can update your third party packages via binary packages (which you can get from freebsd.org or build yourself)...so it seems these two solutions would be a great fit.

Re: LD_LIBRARY_PATH
New to FreeBSD. How can I update my LD_LIBRARY_PATH? In Linux I modify my /etc/ld.so.conf file and run ldconfig. Is there an equivalent here? A pointer to docs would be fine. There are a couple of ways. First, you can look at /etc/defaults/rc.conf for the default value of ldconfig_paths. On this 6.2-RELEASE system, it's set to: ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg" So you can edit /etc/rc.conf and append to that list. E.g. if you wanted to add /usr/local/my_libs, you'd put the following in /etc/rc.conf: ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg /usr/local/my_libs" Another possibility, based on a cursory read of /etc/rc.d/ldconfig, would be to add the path to /etc/ld-elf.so.conf (which probably doesn't exist by default). Either way, once you've added your path, you'd run: /etc/rc.d/ldconfig start Which should add the libraries from the added path.

Re: "No CD/DVD devices found" after booting from FreeBSD 6.2 CD 1
Because before it starts it relies on BIOS to provide services (in 16-bit x86 mode), but after the kernel starts, it must use its own drivers (32-bit or 64-bit, depending on your choice) and it seems it doesn't have the right drivers. Most CD/DVD drives are standard and register as ATA or SCSI drives but, as you see now, there are those that require special support. It looks like the chipset on that particular Dell model is the NVIDIA nForce 430. Others have had success with that chipset, and even a similar Dell model according to this page: http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html You may want to try updating the BIOS.

Re: Migrating from i386 to AMD64
Now.. Can I just use the same SMP kernel I have currently (assuming the correct drivers are loaded) for the X2 processor if I just want to run it in 32 bit mode? Yes, it should work fine. You may need to update /etc/fstab of course, and any other settings that need to change along with the motherboard change, but other than that it should just work. Or do I need to do a complete re-install/upgrade to the AMD64 platform version of FreeBSD? If you want to run the AMD64 version, yes the BKM is a re-install. But you need not install the AMD64 version, the i386 version will run fine on the X2. I'm not worried about memory usage past 4 GB (that's all we're installing), or the slight (possible) increase in speed from using the native 64 bit stuff. Then stick with i386. Your existing installation (assuming you've not used processor-specific CFLAGS to build world and/or ports) should work fine.

Sure. Install the dmidecode port (from /usr/ports/sysutils/ dmidecode), and run: dmidecode -t memory Of course, this relies on the BIOS reporting the memory properly.

So, your mileage may vary, but as long as the BIOS is reporting it accurately, dmidecode is the way to go.
