Like you said, if he wants to send mail through the FreeBSD server, using
his prime.gushi.org domain, he should add "ip4:69.147.83.53" to his SPF
records for that domain (or do some SRS forward rewriting).

But what's mx2.freebsd.org not being listed as an MX of freebsd.org got to
do with SPF?? There's no requirement, whatsoever, for mx2.freebsd.org to be
an official FreeBSD MX record. Who cares? FreeBSD includes
"ip4:69.147.83.53" in its SPF records (which is mx2.freebsd.org). That's all
SPF needs to know.

I am sure it is not the official method, but when I had this happening too,
I made the following symlink:

/usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.so.10 -> mysql/libmysqlclient.so.10

And that solved it for me.

name server on alternate port

[Mark]

Hello,

If I want to install a second name server, on a different listening port,
how can I get the resolver libraries to consult the other port too? I want
to add rbldsnd, next to bind, for a large zone.

Thanks,

Running rbldnsd

[Mark]

Perhaps a bit off-topic, but since dynablock.easynet.nl's untimely demise, I
have been running the dynablock zone in BIND. Works great, but takes a
whopping 117MB! So, I tried using rbldnsd, which is about 10 times more
memory-efficient (!). I created a zone, dynablock.my-domain.info, and added
the zone-data, and start rbldns as follows:

rbldnsd -u bind:bind -r /usr/rbldns -b 127.0.0.1 -P 53 -c 0 \
dynablock.my-domain.info:generic:zoneheader.dynablock.my-domain.info \
dynablock.my-domain.info:ip4set:dynablock.my-domain.info

The "zoneheader.dynablock.my-domain.info" contains the following:

$NS 86400 ns1.my-domain.info
$SOA 1w ns1.my-domain.info admin.my-domain.info 0 2h 2h 1w 1h
@ 86400 A 127.0.0.1
dsl-cable-dhcp-dialup.ip 86400 A 127.0.0.2
dsl-cable-dhcp-dialup.ip 86400 TXT Dynamic/Residential IP range

Rbldsnd starts fine, without error, and says it loaded all zones:

rbldnsd: ip4set:dynablock.my-domain.info: 20031123 174253: \
e32/24/16/8=372826/241350/1001/0
rbldnsd: generic:zoneheader.dynablock.my-domain.info: 20031123 183814: e=3
rbldnsd: version 0.96 (29 May 2003) started (listening on [127.0.0.1]:53)

Yet, I cannot get any query to resolve on it:

% nslookup 218.65.86.15.dynablock.my-domain.info
*** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: Query refused

I guess I misconfigured the "zoneheader" somehow. But I do not see how. Is
there anyone out there with a working knowledge of rbldns who can tell me
what I am doing wrong? It manages load load the whole dynablock zone in less
than 8MB (!), so it is worth trying to get to work, I'd say.

Thanks,

Thank you. :) Your idea to bind both nameservers on their own IP, with
rbldnsd on the alias, worked brilliantly well. Instead of configuring a
slave server, though, I went with forwarding, like so:

zone "dynablock.my-domain.info" IN {
 type forward;
 forward only;
 forwarders {
  127.0.0.4;
 };
}

And now everything works beautifully. :)

- Mark

P.S. Getting rbldnsd to work was worth the trouble. I have the entire
dynablock, blackholes, and proxies zones, from the soon to expire easynet.nl
RBLs, all loaded in under 22 MB! of memory (and rbldnsd keeps everything in
memory too, in case you wondered). The same cost BIND over 220 MB memory!

Explicit Congestion Notification

[Mark]

Hello,

Can someone tell me how to enable "Explicit Congestion Notification" (IPv4)
on FreeBSD 4.7R? Or do I have to recompile the kernel for that? (hope not).

Still really looking...

[Mark]

Hello,

I am still really looking for a way to enable Explicit Congestion
Notification for TCP on FreeBSD 4.7R (IPv4). And google is really not very
helpful in that regard. Nor the FreeBSD site, for that matter. I found
"option TCP_ECN" for the kernel, but together with "option TCP_SACK". Do I
need that too? I still rather hope this can be controlled with a sysctl
maneouvre.

I mean, there's gotta be a doc somewhere that explains how to enable this,
right? I'm frankly surprised it is so hard to find any FreeBSD info on it.
And I really *DO* need it. I am communicating with a site that has ECN
enabled, and, hence, I get nothing but timeouts on it. There has to be
someone who did this before!

Thanks,

- Mark

If I remember correctly, remove everything after "nexus?". So that you will
keep only this:

device  apm0 at nexus?

That did the trick for me.

Actually, this has got very little to do with being a native English
speaker or not. It's ere a matter of intonation (which, in writing, can
only be conveyed to a certain degree, of course). 'Should' can certainly
mean "Don't try that." As in:

Will the ice hold me?
Well, technically it should.

(Meaning: it probably will, but I'm not overly confident.)

The meaning of 'should' is not nearly as narrow as you suggest. Often it
also denotes reservation (as in the above example). To illustrate once
more:

Can I run dump on an active file system?
It *should* run on an active file system, provided (enumerations of
conditions which would need to be met; like preferably no disk-activity
when making the backup).

(Meaning: it can be done, but it's ill-advised, really.) And clearly it
does not mean "should be executed, done, carried out, performed."

Another one:

Will he run for President?
Well, he should be able to get enough votes.

(Meaning: if everything goes as planned, he might succeed, but it's by no
means guaranteed he'll actually get enough votes).

So, given the right intonation and context, "This utility should work on
active file systems." can certainly be understood to mean one could
technically do so, but that it's not recommended.

MF626 3g modem

[Mark]

Hi,

I have been trying to get this device working as a 3g modem but it also has 
memory slot for MMC card.

When it is plugged in it only sees the memory card -

 port 6 addr 2: high speed, self powered, config 1, ZTE CDMA Technologies 
MSM(0x2000), ZTE, Incorporated(0x19d2), rev 0.00
   umass0

I have booted without umass loaded and i get ugen0. From posts on the internet 
the modem is meant to come up with 0x0031 device code. I have put the device 
into usbdevs and added it to ubsa.c.

But i think until i can get it to see the modem, it will always come up as a cd 
drive.

Any help appreciated.

Missing characters in /var/log/messages - hardware fault?

[Mark]

Hi,
I'm seeing missing characters in /var/log/messages after kernel panics on a
brand new box with a fresh install of 7.0-RELEASE.  Typical lines are:

May 30 0:14:53 odin2008 savecore: rebot after panic: age fault
May 3 10:14:3 odin2008 savecore: wrting core to vmcore.0

Does this imply a hardware fault?  Fsck is not showing any problems with the
disks.

Any help appreciated - I need to know whether I should just send the box
back or not!

Yours,
Mark

read the man page for the Xorg driver, you may need to enable it in the 
xorg.conf. I guess you are running freeBSD???

Are all the controller cards listed??  If not then look to the controller 
driver man page for hints to get them to play nice together.

My "duh" moment not too long ago. 

I found that the sata power "adapters" had pins that were to small for a proper 
connection to the power supply.

When you "drop database" it does not change the permissions on the database you 
dropped.  Check out "grant" if you have not used it.

SSL/TLS suddenly stopped working for postfix

[Mark]

My apologies for the cross-posting but I believe it is relevant.

I have been running postfix for 8+ months without problems.  
Recently ( a week or two) I had a user complain that he could no longer 
send.  It appears that postfix is no longer accepting SSL/TLS 
connections.  STARTTLS is working on port 587 (and possibly 25, still 
testing)  I am trying to figure out why the change.


If I try and open an openssl connection manually, this is what I get:

openssl s_client -connect mail.myServer.net:587
CONNECTED(0003)
44829:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown 
protocol:/usr/src/secure/lib/libssl/../../../crypto/openssl/ssl/s23_clnt.c:478:


I recently installed a webmail client , roundcube.  Not sure if 
that could affect anything.


Any help is greatly appreciated.  I know I should send main.cf and 
master.cf but I have to filter out the proprietary info first...

Re: [ZFS] recover destroyed zpool - what are the available options?

 Original Message

Sent: Wed, April 3, 2013 10:50:55 AM
Subject: Re: [ZFS] recover destroyed zpool - what are the available options?

Volodymyr, thank you very much for answering.

A strange problem is that ZFS thinks the pool is on-line:
# zpool list
NAMESIZE  ALLOC   FREECAP  DEDUP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
bsdr   -  -  -  -  -  FAULTED  -

So when I try to import, it objects. I can think of 2 things to do:
a- export the pool first, then re-import
b- Disconnect the original hdd / create pool bsdr on another hdd@s small gpt
partition / re-connect the original hdd / somehow force the import or add
the original pool to the newly created bsdr pool, and maybe the original
data will come back on line??

What would you suggest?  Thanks again.


What does "gpart show" return?

Are all the pool members there and working?

My guess is that one member is missing or a mbr is bad.

I have used the zfs import function with good results.

Re: is there any books about network with FreeBSD

Michael Lucas has published some highly regarded books on Freebsd and 
Networking.  Here is a link to his site https://www.michaelwlucas.com/


Full Disclosure: I have known Michael for many, many years so I am 
somewhat biased but I do use his books and they answer over 95% of my

I have a box that is having a 24th hour crash, I have narrowed it down to mpd 3.18 as 
the cause, kill mpd and the box will hum right along for days, restart mpd 24 hrs 
later it goes into kernel panic and reboots. Anyone else have this problem?? (side 
note - swap file full is one msg)
As you can tell, I am a basic noob when dealing with this type of problem.

Re: Squid, FreeBSD, Multilink PPP

[Mark]

Do you have a cache dns server running on your system, if not
start one add it to the resolve.conf pluse the upstream dns servers
then ## out the enable dns in the ppp.conf (you'll lose the ref to yours
in the resolv.conf each time you  reconnect if you don't).

SOunds to me squid is looking for a dns server that is not there, and waits for a time 
out.

More appropriately, I'd say, is that someone ports 8.13.0 -- I have been waiting for

Is it safe to keep /kernel.old?

[Mark]

Dear people,

I have been applying patches over time; and when I recompile the kernel (4.9R p4), it 
keeps the old one around. My question is, though, is it safe to keep /kernel.old? I 
always keep it around, in case the new kernel has a problem. And that always seemed 
like a sensible policy to me. But what if one of the patches contains an exploitable 
bug? I run in securelevel 2, so I am not sure whether users could actually use the old 
kernel (once in multi-user mode). Still, I wonder if this concern is valid at all. Or 
whether I should perhaps get rid of the old kernel.

I appreciate your help,

- Mark

Re: Streaming Audio

[Mark]

May not fit your needs but look into /usr/ports/audio/musicpd 

and  /usr/ports/audio/ncmpc , there is also a web based php script

but I forget the name, this type setup makes a nice remote control 

jukebox for the home stereo.

Re: BCM4401-B0 card error on FreeBSD 5.2.1

[Mark]

You may have to build a kernel with the 
"device  bge" # gig cards
"device  bfe" # 10- 100 cards
entries to build the moduals, I would have thought they 
were with the base system. But I had to build a kernel
for the bfe modual to work.

Side note: The bfe entry is not in the GENERIC kernel 
on 4.10 but will build and work. The bge modual would not 
find my broadcom 4401.

ipfw: unknown argument ``not''

[Mark]

Dear list,

I try to do the following, as per the ipfw2 manual for FreeBSD 4.9R-p3:

ipfw add deny ip from any to any not verrevpath in

And I get the following error:

ipfw: unknown argument ``not''

What could be the cause of that?

Thanks,

One OR MORE of source and destination addresses?

[Mark]

Color me confused. The ipfw manual says:

limit {src-addr | src-port | dst-addr | dst-port} N
The firewall will only allow N connections with the same set of
parameters as specified in the rule. One or more of source and
destination addresses and ports can be specified.

If "One or more of source and destination addresses and ports can be
specified", then I'd like to limit both the total amount of connections, as
well as per-src. Something like this:

ipfw check-state ipfw add allow tcp from any to me 25 setup limit dst-addr
32 src-addr 8

The error I get is:

"ipfw: only one of keep-state and limit is allowed"

So, how can I specify "One OR MORE of source and destination addresses" in
the rule to achieve this effect?

Thanks,

- Mark

Actually, that is what I had already done:

ipfw add 10 check-state ipfw add 11 allow tcp from any to me 25 setup limit
dst-addr 32 ipfw add 12 check-state ipfw add 13 allow tcp from any to me 25
setup limit src-addr 4

But it seems I never get to rule 12/13. All "ipfw show" shows, is activity
on rule 10/11. That is why I figured I made an error somewhere. Does not
rule 11, indeed, function as an 'early-out'? (undesired).

Ok, I got a check-state too many.

The goal is simple: I want to limit connections to port 25 to 32 in total,
targeted at "me". And of those 32, only 4 per source. Like so:

ipfw add 1 check-state
...
ipfw add 11 allow tcp from any to me 25 setup limit dst-addr 32
ipfw add 12 allow tcp from any to me 25 setup limit src-addr 4

Please, tell me then how "all wrong" this is. Because I *still* get the
impression that rule 12 is never reached. And, so far, "ipfw show" does,
indeed, only show activity on rule 11.

If at all possible, I would still like to hear a suggestion as to how to
combine the two rules. From my pov, the first "allow" in rule 11 makes a
packet pass, provided there are less then 32 connections in total. Thus,
rule 12 never gets invoked (which, indeed, seems to be the case).

Someone suggested to me I was at fault for numbering the rules. Quite
frankly, that does not compute to me, as ipfw autonumbers anyway (in default
steps of 100, I believe). Seriously, I do not mind hearing how "all wrong"
my rules are; but, at the same time, I have not heard a proper way of doing
this.

I appreciate suggestions,

I spoke too soon. :( It seems this sort of rules evokes a bug:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ipfw/2004-April/001084.html

My whole console is flooded with messages like these:

"ipfw: install_state: entry already present, done"

Is there a known patch?

Thanks,

I just took a look at the code:

 if (q != NULL) { /* should never occur */
  if (last_log != time_second) {
   last_log = time_second;
   printf("ipfw: install_state: entry already present, done\n");
  }
  return 0;
 }

What if I just hack the "printf ..." line out of there? Would that 'solve'
it? I know it's dirty; but would things still work?

Thank you for taking the time to look into this.

Yes, my reason for thinking "yes" was the same. It seems there are critical
errors, such as "Too many dynamic rules", returning 1, and, say, unexpected
errors, like when trying to create a rule that already exists, returning 0.

Since the rule actually seems to be working (limiting total connection to
32, and only 4 per source), just commenting out the printf statement seems
like a harmless, be it very dirty, "solution".

Indeed, this should probably be fixed; and I will file a PR tonight.

Re: installation of FreeBSD 4.10 on Dell PowerEdge 650 fails after reboot with mountroot

[Mark]

I don't own a dell power edge but I seem to remember another thread with this same 
problem
and I think the problem seemed to be how the dell found the cdrom and harddrives, I 
think
if you look at how the ide/ata cables are run, this may be the problem, but my memory 
is flakky
hope this points you to the right fix.

Only WDMA2?

[Mark]

Dear Sirs:

In my FreeBSD 4.9R server, I use an ARAID99 1000L RAID system. However, it
only runs at "WDMA2":

Aug  9 21:08:36 asarian-host /kernel: ad0: 39205MB  [79656/16/63] at ata0-master WDMA2

WDMA2 only offers 16 MB/s, whereas ATA133 of course, offers 133 MB/s. The
question is, is there a reason FreeBSD only uses WDMA2 for this device? (it
contains two MAXTOR 40G ATA133 disks, connected to an ATA133 IDE port as
single master).

Second question, subsidiary, can I force a higher mode than WDMA2? (like
UDMA 133).

Much obliged,

- Mark

I used an 80-pin cable, alright; and I even switched it out; still, only
WDMA2.

I tried: "/sbin/atacontrol mode 0 UDMA6 XXX"

But to no avail. A speed-test confirms the disasterous throughput:

% dd if=/dev/ad0s1e of=/dev/null bs=64k count=100
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
6553600 bytes transferred in 0.638866 secs (10258177 bytes/sec)

Something is fishy.

It may be the case that FreeBSD 4.9R cannot use ATA 133 on the VIA 8237. I
saw 8.10 *does* support the via 8237. I'm unclear as to whether it also
supports the ATA 133 modes (hardware notes say: VIA 8237 SATA150).

Is there a way I can just upgrade the ata driver, without going all the way
to 8.10? I really cannot continue with using WDMA2 on 16 MB/s. That is about
ten times as slow as it can be!

I appreciate the help,

"make/install buildworld" without Perl being reinstalled?

[Mark]

Dear Sirs:

Is there a way I can do a "make/install buildworld" without Perl being
reinstalled? Not that I want it gone, I just want it to remain totally
untouched.

I think I am going to give an upgrade to 8.10R a try (reluctantly), from
4.9R; but I cannot afford to have my rather comprehensive Perl modules
messed with/deleted/upgraded/whatever. In fact, I rather not do a
"make/install buildworld" at all. That is, I rather not have any userland
program touched, like sendmail, etc. Basically, I just want to upgrade the
kernel (and use the upgraded ata(4) driver, to have support for the VIA
8237).

I came up with the following supfile:

*default host=cvsup.uk.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_10
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all

Will this do what I want?

Thanks,

- Mark

Since sendmail 8.13.1 is essentially the same (installation-wise) as 8.13.0,
I just used the 8.13.0 port install to compile 8.13.1 (re-tarred the .tar.gz
file), as soon as 8.13.1 came out. Not ideal, perhaps, but it worked nicely.

How about this: "/sbin/atacontrol mode 0 PIO4 XXX"? (if you want UDMA

Ah. So basically libXpm is part of xorg? I didn't install Xorg via the
ports system but via sysinstall when I first installed FreeBSD...

# pkg_version http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/INDEX-5

xorg-clients=

xorg-fontserver =
xorg-libraries  =
xorg-manpages   =
xorg-server =

Now please correct me if I'm in the wrong ballpark entirely, but my
system seems to think it's both current and not at the same time.

The last update of xorg apparently fixed the issue, and apparently that's
the version I'm using:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/x11/xorg-libraries/

Could someone please dispel my confusion or at least slap me about a
bit until I get it?

Ah, oops. Seems I was looking at the wrong openmotif (linux-openmotif).

Xorg & xdm & securelevels

[Mark]

Hello.

I realise this may have been covered before and that this may not
be the correct list (freebsd-x11 seemed to be more about developement
rather than configuration) but anyway:

I would like to push my securelevel up to 1 in order to better enforce
my security policy (protecting chflags, kernel modules etc) but this
of course would break Xorg as it requires access to /dev/io. I've
heard that it's possible to run Xorg via xdm whilst the system is
booting at securelevel 0 and have the securelevel raised afterwards,
effectively allowing X to live in a securelevel > 0 environment.

How painful is this to implement? Am I likely to run into any
major problems?

I've also heard that it's possible to remove the SUID bit from X
by using xdm, but that's probably for another thread...

Any comments, advice, pointers to articles or screams of distaste
are welcomed.

I've kept quiet up until now but I'm afraid I have to step in and
respectfully disagree here. If a site is hard to update, that indicates
poor design and lack of forethought rather than anything else.

XHTML, CSS and a little bit of PHP or Perl are all that is needed to
create a clean, beautiful and above all, maintainable site.

As a nice example, take a look at this site to see how minimal and 
readable XHTML can be if done properly (look at the source):

http://www.csszengarden.com/

Plain HTML is often mistakenly viewed as simpler and easier but that
couldn't be further from the truth. A combination of XHTML and CSS
allows you to seperate formatting from page arrangement and make
your life much easier. :)

Have a good christmas, list. :)

I think you're probably looking for:

/usr/ports/x11/gtk2-theme-switch

Don't be mislead by the name, it also allows theme-independent font

Thats the rub with windows, or I think so, you can back it up 
but getting it to reload is the big if.

I've restored a few programs from a backup, they run but they appear as
bastar* exe, not in the reg. but will run without errors.

If you load fresh you lose updated stuff, database index is not right for 
the updated program. Sorry just a personal rant.

No such thing as a perfect backup yet.

Uptime?

[Mark]

I realise this may be the wrong list to post to, but it *is*
a question and it *is* about FreeBSD... :)

http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/today/top.avg.html

So, we know BSD is capable of stupidly high uptime, but what
I'd like to know is how? I mean, we all have to patch things
now and again, recompile kernels etc. Does this mean these
sites are running thousand-day-old unpatched kernels, or is
there some black magic going on that I don't know about?

I await your theories... :)

make installworld - permission denied

[Mark]

Urgh, it was all going so well. I suppose it had to happen:

I did as the hallowed handbook commanded:

#make buildworld
#make buildkernel KERNCONF=L004
#make installkernel

I rebooted into single user mode:

#mount -a
#cd /usr/src
#mergemaster -p
#make installworld
(setting of variables omitted, i'm typing from the screen!)
/tmp/install. make -f Makefile.inc1 reinstall
make: Permission denied

***Error code 126
Stop in /usr/src

***Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src

Any ideas? AFAIK my permissions are still at their defaults.

Apologies for any major errors I may have unwittingly made,
this is my first buildworld. Please tell me my setup is NOT
ruined, it still had that two-week-old-fresh-install feel to
it and I had everything just how I like it.

Putting on a brave face.

Is it too late for that d'you think? I'm basically moving from
5.3 RELEASE-p2 to p3, will my userland be stable enough to start afresh?

I think you may have misunderstood, the /tmp* line is output from the
makefile, not a command that I have typed.

I have rebooted to clear my head (and /tmp amongst other things) 
and mounted my partitions (as Joshua suggested) but I still get
the same 'permission denied' error.

Upon re-checking /usr/src/UPDATING, I've confirmed that it describes
the process I am performing to the letter.

I'm at a loss currently.

I can definitely see this. I run five or six small servers at home
to provide a few services for the house and friends nearby. They
run a mixture of Open+FreeBSD. I spent a good week taking the system
apart, removing things, tweaking scripts etc. On the eigth day,
they were all running nicely and locked up tighter than a ducks
arse. I was left twiddling my thumbs. I contemplated logging into
a few of them and typing random commands as root so I might have
something to fix.

I suggest you run your machine with a precariously balanaced glass
of orange juice on it at all times. It will lessen the chances of
you being afflicted with this terrible, and above all, dull,
syndrome.

Ok, I found /ports/lang/php4-extensions. Great! Except,
it will not compile anything! How do I get this meta thingy
to compile at all? Sigh. The old php4 install was working just fine;
now it is all messed up. :(

Nope, installed zillion of packages. :) automake + autoconf indeed

PHP 4.3.10 bug?

[Mark]

Dear people,

I recently saw PHP 4.3.10 bug:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31332

That thread is closed, unfortunately. I would like to know,
though, how long execution of the mentioned reproduction
code is supposed to take? On my system, it took:
0.44177293777466 seconds. Does that mean I am affected too?

I run FreeBSD 4.10R, with PHP 4.3.10.

Because I will need a FreeBSD port/patch. :)

I ran the test old an old Vmware box (PHP 4.3.9), and, indeed, I
have the bug; the query took:

0.0254358959198

seconds on my old PHP. :(

Since this unserialize bug makes PHP perform ~ 20x slower on unserialize,
I strongly urge the maintainer of PHP to either provide a port patch, or
a new port altogether. This really needs solving, fast!

I just installed PHP 4.3.10 myself (FreeBSD 4.10R), and it never
complained about pdflib-6.0.1 being forbidden. This is not good. :(

I just looked at my phpinfo output, and it says:

PDFlib GmbH Version 6.0.1
PECL Version 2.0.3

I only installed the entire new ports.tar.gz a few days ago. Why would
this occur?

Thanks,

I still do not know how to upgrade to libpdf.7 yet.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/print/pdflib/

Does not contain an upgrade/fix yet. :(

There is a very simple patch for this, at:

http://www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=174&type=vulnerabilities&;
flashstatus=true

And I applied it, and it works great. No need to disable my
whole pdf functionality. :)

Why not simply add an entry to /etc/hosts? Like I do to get a
pretty name for logins from my XP machine:

192.168.0.6my-xp-machine.org

Auth.log date issue?

[Mark]

Running FreeBSD 4.10, today I saw this in my log:

asarian-host.net login failures:
Mar  8 22:11:20 asarian-host sshd[32810]: Failed password for asarian from
192.168.0.8 port 3535 ssh2
Mar  8 22:11:36 asarian-host sshd[32812]: Failed password for asarian from
192.168.0.8 port 3536 ssh2
Mar  8 22:11:39 asarian-host sshd[32814]: Failed password for asarian from
192.168.0.8 port 3537 ssh2

Which is curious, as the IP address no longer has a machine on it. Then I
checked, and after a while I suddenly noticed /var/log/auth.log was dated
March 8, 2004! Apparently, the security script just checks the date, but
not the year? Is it supposed to work this way? It gave me a good scare,
all for nothing. :)

Nobody ever asked they make 'every single internal document available to
the public'. That is your own strawman. People do ask, however, that
Adaptec makes enough documentation available to know when what commands
to set to the chipset, and when to expect what to be returned. Especially if
they
themselves have not solved all bugs

Same deal; nobody ever asked they release 'all of their docs'. That is
just your own twist.

In that case, Adaptec better get their act together. But I can assure
you, and your Adaptec buddies, that, having followed this crazy discussion
for too long, that I will never ever hereafter advise my boss to buy
Adaptec any more. Not that they will feel the pinch, as I am just a small
fish; but their attitude stinks up to high heaven. And yours too, I might
add.

> Children learn to accept "no" in the process of growing up.

News-flash: sometimes the customer says 'no' too; I hope they are grown-up
enough to deal with that reality, too. :)

And if you want children to play with your toys, then you should tell them
how they work! Otherwise, pretty soon you'll be sitting there all alone,
with your big box of hardware, and all kids shunning you like the plague.

Where is zlib-1.2.2 zlib.so?

[Mark]

Ok, I downloaded and installed zlib-1.2.2 (FreeBSD 4.10R):

-
asarian-host: {root} % make install
cp zlib.h zconf.h /usr/local/include
chmod 644 /usr/local/include/zlib.h /usr/local/include/zconf.h
cp libz.a /usr/local/lib
cd /usr/local/lib; chmod 755 libz.a
cd /usr/local/lib; if test -f libz.so.1.2.2; then  rm -f libz.so libz.so.1;
ln -s libz.so.1.2.2 libz.so;  ln -s libz.so.1.2.2 libz.so.1;  (ldconfig ||
true)  >/dev/null 2>&1;  fi
cp zlib.3 /usr/local/share/man/man3
chmod 644 /usr/local/share/man/man3/zlib.3

asarian-host: {root} % find /usr/ -name "libz.*" | xargs ls -la
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  61898 Mar  7  2004 /usr/lib/libz.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  9 Mar  7  2004 /usr/lib/libz.so -> libz.so.2
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  52108 Mar  7  2004 /usr/lib/libz.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  74486 Mar 21 21:01 /usr/local/lib/libz.a
-

So, where is the new shared library, libz.so? I only see libz.a installed.

Thanks,

I read that entirely differently. :) I see a large conditional --
including the creation of symlinks -- based on the existence of
libz.so.1.2.2.

> > -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  52108 Mar  7  2004 /usr/lib/libz.so.2

Clearly, libz.so.2 is still very much the old file (and I know this for
certain, as I also have it elsewhere, in a jailed environment).

So, to reiterate, where is the new shared library, libz.so? Or
libz.so.1.2.2, for that matter. Even in the work directory of the
untarred libz 1.2.2 tar.gz, no libz.so.1.2.2, or libz.so, exists
after building.

Thanks,

No, honestly, I was looking in /usr/ as a whole:

asarian-host: {root} % find /usr/ -name "libz.*" | xargs ls -la
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  61898 Mar  7  2004 /usr/lib/libz.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  9 Mar  7  2004 /usr/lib/libz.so -> libz.so.2
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  52108 Mar  7  2004 /usr/lib/libz.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  74486 Mar 21 21:01 /usr/local/lib/libz.a

It's not there.

Thanks,

Hmm, no, I didn't do that. :) I just ran ./configure, with no parameters.
Doh! It is solved now.

DRAC with BerkeleyDB 4.2

[Mark]

Hello,

I recently compiled sendmail 8.13.3 for BerkeleyDB 4.2; and everything
works fine, except that my pophash database (DRAC) is apparently no longer
read/honored by sendmail.

So, does anyone know how to compile drac-1.12_3 for use with BerkeleyDB
4.2? (FreeBSD 4.10-R). The Makefile offers no options for that.

Thanks,
