Swapping hard drives
Hello folks I'm looking to do a quick swap on a hard disk I currently have in my FreeBSD file-server. It's an old 30Gb disk, and I've bought a nice, new big one to replace it. The problem is, I'm not sure what the best way to do this is. I have Samba shares on there, and other things, and as far as I'm concerned it's better if the system doesn't know [or care] that the disk is being swapped out, does that make sense? I guess what I'm asking is this, what's the best way to do a swap like this? Thanks.

Re: IMAP stealing mail??
K, i'm using imap-uw on my mailserver and am using horde and squirrelmail on my webserver. Once I grab my mail using one of these webmail clients it's as if it's actually popping the mail from the mailserver instead of just imapping it so when i go to my desktop mail client it says I have no mail yet unless I have not used the webmail client for a while, if you go to the webmail client it shows a ton of mail, what's the deal? Sounds like squirrelmail is set to POP3 instead of IMAP. Just a guess as I'm not familiar with squirrelmail, but that's what it sounds like is happening. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Fragments of kernel log text in security run message
Until recently, my security run messages from Release-4.7 have been reasonably comprehensible. Certain events and changes have been reported, such as login failures and setuid changes, but I could always figure out roughly what was being reported. Recently, though, I've been seeing small fragments of text in the kernel log portion of that report. This happens almost every day now. Following are a few examples. There is just one fragment per report. - kq9.net kernel log messages: copeid 0x4 kq9.net kernel log messages: 8. kq9.net kernel log messages: nal_number pid ... kq9.net kernel log messages: rved. kq9.net kernel log messages: 0/16/63] at ata0-slave WDMA2 kq9.net kernel log messages: d to support NFS kq9.net kernel log messages: /ad0s1a: kq9.net kernel log messages: , 4950 blocks, 2.0% fragmentation) kq9.net kernel log messages: TEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS - Each of these messages looks like a valid fragment of a bootup message, but I don't see why I should suddenly be getting these in the security report. Does anyone know where this stuff might be coming from? Thank you very much.

Create a hot backup server machine?
I'm trying to create an offsite hot backup of a FreeBSD server. If the primary server fails, I want to transport the spare machine to the existing site and bring it up as a replacement, with little or no reconfiguration necessary. Nightly mirroring would be adequate in this situation. The system is not running live transaction processing or anything comparable. Is there a straightforward, automated way to mirror a whole FreeBSD system, using open source software? I'm testing ftpcopy to remotely mirror the files and directories. Ftpcopy performs an incremental comparison using dates and file sizes, which should minimize the nightly backup time and traffic load. So far that part seems to be working well. But I haven't figured out how to get the users, groups and permissions mirrored. There are about 200 users. And there may be other gotchas I haven't thought of yet. Thank you very much.

netmos parallel port card pci
Hi, I', new to FreeBSD and I got stuck with a hardware problem. I bought a parallel port pci card and then I found out that FreeBSD isn't supporting it. There appears to be a patch for NetBSD so that it supports it via their puc(4) driver. pciconf categorizes it into 'simple comms' (0x078000),the device name is 'Nm9805 PCI + 1284 Printer Port'. I was looking around and found the file sys/dev/puc/pucdata.c within the kernel sources. What effect would it have if i would create an additional entry for that card?

RE: One OR MORE of source and destination addresses?
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?
I'll jump in here as a software manager and say NO!
Note, I have no idea if it will still work, but as a professional
programmer, the question raises a number of issues :-)
1. First of all, the original programmer took time to comment
this line:
if (q != NULL) { /* should never occur */
OK. There's no indication WHY it should never occur, but still, the comment
is there.
2. By adding this line:
if (last_log != time_second) {
He's limiting the printed errors to one every second, so you
are not beeing flooded with as many messages as are actually
ocurring.
Is last_log used anywhere else?
3. This line:
return 0;
will still return 0 if the error occurs, so the program will
work the same with or without the diagnostic message.
I'd do some more digging and find out exactly WHY this is a should never
occur case to be sure that the log is not needed. If you don't print
the log, then why do the test, except to return 0 :-)

RE: One OR MORE of source and destination addresses?
Bill, Thanks for the feedback. I've been programming embedded systems for almost 20 years, so I have a natural aversion to apparently simple changes that make things work :-) The nicest high-level code I've ever seen in the source to Tcl - if only all code looked like that. I've been playing with FreeBSD over the last two or three months trying to implement a headless server that will help dysfunctional development teams control their bugs and source code. I chose FreeBSD because Linux seems so frigging bloated, and the distros are too varied. You never know if the distro you pick will be around next year. FreeBSD gives me a much warmer and fuzzier feeling about the commitment to release quality code and making it very clear which releases are for production, and which are for testing. My work so far is documanted in these articles: http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/embedded/stories/bdgFreeBSDEmbedded.html http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/embedded/stories/bdgFreeBSDSetup.html http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/embedded/stories/bdgFreeBSDandWindows.html http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/embedded/stories/bdgFreeBSDPortsAndPerl.html http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/embedded/stories/bdgFreeBSDPostfix.html http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/embedded/stories/bdgFreeBSDApache2.html http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/embedded/stories/bdgFreeBSDGnats.html I hope to write more, including articles on customizing Gnats, using Subversion, splint, backups, and security.

RE: ADSL internet + router
Am about to get an ADSL internet connection... there are two devices available, an ADSL modem and a router... the modem should not have a problem to work (I have one at office), but have a doubt with the router and don't know which device aquire... I have my local network configured with private addresses in the range 192.168.0.* and GATEWAY=192.168.0.x (the ip of the server with firewall)... My question is... would I be able with the router to use it as gateway without assigning dynamic addresses via DHCP? I want to preserve my static private addresses 192.168.0.* with a GATEWAY=... configuration, is that possible? In the worst case I can setup a firewall and use one of my computers as gateway with 2 ethernet cards, one for the router and the other for my LAN... I have an ADSL modem, and I plug that into my wireless router. It's address is 192.168.1.1 and it acts as the gateway. I can also configure it (via braowser interface) to forward packets from the internet to specific machines on my network, on a port by port basis. I also use a dynamic DNS service, so that it just magically works. Here's a little article I worte on it: http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/embedded/stories/bdgFreeBSDApache2.html The dynamic DNS bit is at the end...

RE: 4.10 Install failure.
I am havign some trouble installing FreeBSD 4.10 on my PC. I downloaded an ISO image (and verified the checksum) from the Canadian FreeBSD FTP site. After burning the image to CD, I checked the checksums, which were the same. When I put the CD in the drive and attempt to boot from it, I just get a register dump and the computer halts. I have just got over a similar painful learning experience. I made a dumb mistake that might help you. I first just burnt the ISO file to a CD like I would any other file. (I had no idea what an ISO image was :)) After i discovered that you need special software to burn an ISO image, I downloaded the trial version of UltraISO software. It wanted to use Nero Burning ROM to actually do the burn. Once I had these 2 bits of software installed, I could actually use the CD's I burnt. Unless you have a crippled version of Nero, it will let you burn ISO images. You don't need UltraISO. Just cancel the stupid wizard at startup and choose File/BurnImage from the main Nero window. I also burnt CD's of the 2 flp images. I happened to use Sonic Record Now to do that, and there was a button I could press that read the flp image and created a bootable CD. Also unnecessary. Nero lets you choose CDROM(boot) if you select File/New from the main menu. Just point it to the floppy image you want to burn and you are good to go.

RE: root access to ftp, telnet -- CP/M?
Matthew, Thanks for your concern. Once there is anything on the computer, I will certainly close those security holes. Right now it is only a means to learn about FreeBSD and document the steps necessary to build a machine that will fit my needs. I opened ftp and telnet access to root as a simple way to copy files to and from a windows computer and to control the FreeBSD computer from another location. I do plan to implement ssh, but first I must evaluate PuTTY and other alternatives. PuTTY works great!

RE: What mouse? (was: Samsung Cordless Mouse)
Can anybody recommend a good mouse? My criteria are: - Middle button easy to use. The current crop of mice has the middle button integrated with the roller, and that makes the middle button either heavy or easy to confuse with the roller. - Preferably cordless. Cord mice tend to wander a little when you let go of them, and that's a real nuisance on a high-resolution display. Greg, Have you tried a trackball? I'm using a Logitech Marble Mouse, it has 4 buttons, I'm not sure if there's a three button version.

RE: How to Build a Custom Port Tree
I am a newbie to FreeBSD I'm using an old machine right now with limited disk space, so I don't want to install the entire ports collection. I want to build a custom port tree, and I'm finding the docs to be a bit silent on this account as I guess nowadays disk space is usually abundant so installing the entire port tree is the preferred route. Can someone give some basic guidance on: 1) Do I install a compiler or does the basic FreeBSD install have it installed already? Already installed if you did a base install. 2) How do I setup a single application port? See this: http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/embedded/stories/bdgFreeBSDPortsAndPerl.html It described setting up perl 5.8 from a port, without all the other ports. 3) Will I need to trace dependence or will make pull in the required libraries? See above. 4) Can I use CVsup to keep a limited number of ports up to date?

Installing FreeBSD with undetected USB keyboard
Howdy, longtime Linux user here, finally starting to play with FreeBSD. Having a problem getting it installed... I have a USB Microsoft Natural Keyboard connected to an Intel SE440BX-2 motherboard. The keyboard works fine in the BIOS setup and in Linux booted from a CD. Booting with a 6.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso CD gives me no keyboard functionality at all. I've tried enabling and disabling legacy USB support in the BIOS; no difference. I'm thinking that maybe if I set ukbd_load=YES in /boot/defaults/loader.conf.local, the keyboard might work. But there is no mention of modifying the installation media (either floppy or CD) in either the Handbook or the Installation Instructions. Obviously I can't press a key during the boot sequence to enter commands. I've searched the mailing lists but can't find anybody with a problem like this before. Anybody have any ideas, besides get a PS/2 keyboard? Thanks!

That is probably 9 GB including all the unpacked source, the tarball, the left over build tree, etc, all stuff you can delete after the build completes. Still seems like too much though. Anyway, certainly the precompiled binary package will use less space. For comparison, on my Linux box openoffice.org-2.0.2 only takes about 270 MB installed.

I think this is exactly what Mac OS X does with its FileVault feature. I was just reading this column by Kelly Martin http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/393 when I wrote this, but the FreeBSD solution may not be so simple as the OSX. Now, the FileVault according to the article encrypts the entire home partition which is fine for single user laptops, but on multiuser systems, each home directory should be distinct encrypted partitions in order not to disclose data to other users. In this case, you would also like the ability to dynamically grow the filesystem when more space is needed, unless ofcourse you simply say, that's the hard quota limit. Actually, the article says FileVault encrypts a user's entire home directory, settings and all data. I have a PowerBook and I used to use FileVault on it. From my observations, it works by making an encrypted Disk Image file of your home directory which is mounted and unmounted at login and logoff. It is a special disk image called a sparse image which can grow, but can't be shrunk while the image is mounted. This is mostly why I stopped using FileVault--doing a lot of I/O in my homedir caused the sparse image to gradually grow, then I'd eventually have to logoff and let it recover all the gaps in the image, a slow process. There is a different image for each user, so it works in multiuser environments. OS X keeps your unix passwd and the disk image decryption passphrase synchronized if you use the OS X GUI to change your password. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In my particular situation, while reviewing my spam folder for possible ham, my IMAP client may change the message status from unread to read. How would this affect the actual message file?

Both will boot you into a graphical interface and will configure your internet connection for you. I find PC-BSD a little easier to start with but both work well, both can use the ports collection and PC-BSD has a very easy install routine for commonly used programs.

FreeBSD 6.1 amd64bit vs i386
I am currently running FreeBSD 6.1 i386 on my main desktop machine which is an AMD64 3200 and it is rock solid and stable. I am about to put FreeBSD on my laptop - a Gateway 7422 with an AMD64 3200 as well. The laptop is a bit fussier about operating system settings.

You can also use the ports system which is more up to date typically than the binaries. However, installing via the ports means compiling from source which works but takes time. One port that you may want to install is: /usr/ports/sysutils/desktopbsd-tools go to it and type make clean make make install make clean This is a system to help you find programs and install them from source or binaries. It allows you to have the most up to date programs available. Checkout www.desktopbsd.net for their version of BSD or if you want a distribution that is very user friendly try www.PCBSD.org. Both are excellent. DesktopBSD is based on FreeBSD 5.5 while PCBSD is based on FreeBSD 6.1.

If you want to protect configuration files then you may have to upgrade step by step. Upgrading using the make buildworld, make build kernel, make install kernel, reboot, make install world, mergemaster process is time comsuming. If you only need to protect data, then copy it off and do a clean install. Are you using this for a server or a desktop?

When I first installed FreeBSD, circa 2003, version 4.9, the two reasons I chose it over Redhat and Debian were the simplicity of the installation and good manual. The install process on REdhat and Debian was awkward, at least for me, and I could not make them work on my old compaq armada laptop. In contrast just following the manual and choosing default install parameters I got Freebsd working fast. During the installation I actually learned a lot about unix and Freebsd, the sort of details which are important to know anyway.

Hi, I have followed the install from freebsd.qmailrocks.org, and everything appears to be going OK, I'm almost done with the guy's walk-thru...but I found something of interest on the qmail.org website - patches to do smtp-auth so I can have my clients be able to 'roam' while being able to send email through my SMTP gateway out. There are a bunch of links there to patches, for SMTP-AUTH...but I have very little idea about how to implement them? Can someone who's done it before throw me a clue? Here's what I'd like to get working: http://students.imsa.edu/~ngroot/qmail-1.03-starttls-smtp-auth.patch Is there something better?

Cisco 350 card with 128-bit WEP?
Hi all, Trying to install FreeBSD 5.2.1 onto my laptop. I have a LinkSys WRT54G wireless gateway, and the Cisco 250 card which should support 802.11b mode into the Linksys (running in mixed mode). I'm researching options to get the NIC working...but from the manual page(s) of ifconfig I've only found this tidbit, which makes me wonder... A WEP key will be either 5 or 13 characters (40 or 104 bits) depending of the local net- work and the capabilities of the adaptor. My LinkSys has the options for 128 bit or 64bit WEP, naturally I went with 128. This works great for all my Windows boxes...but how do I get FreeBSD to light up the card? Thanks in advance. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + Ralph | Internet Systems Security + + Boundariez.com | -Specializing in Paranoia- + -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + ralph[!at]boundariez[dot!]com | Never understimate the power + +AIM: SekurityWizard | stupid people + +ICQ: 2206039|in large groups+ -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Samba problems...v2.2.8a
Hi again, I've got a problem with Samba this time. I can't seem to get it to allow me to map drives, on a normal basis. I seem to be able to get things working - but...once my workstation reboots, I get errors about password or username is invalid. There is nothing in the log file(s), and nothing seems to work. Once I synch my password to my windows password, everything is fine again (smbpasswd feature). I'm trying to make my Samba server either (a) independent of my Windows box, or (b) completely tied into my Windows Active Directory auth scheme...which I'd like to get away from. Can someone help me out? Pasting my smb.conf file below for reference, in case it makes sense to anyone. For what it's worth - I'm trying to completely migrate the entire server infrastructure AWAY from Windows...to a totally FreeBSD/Samba/etc network. smb.conf file [global] workgroup = Bounds netbios name = Server1 server string = Server1 log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 security = user unix password sync = no ; lanman auth = no ; lm announce = no log file = /var/log/samba.log log level = 9 change notify timeout = 300 deadtime = 15 encrypt passwords = yes oplocks = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY [C$] comment = C$ path= /stor1/WinEmulate valid users = backup read only = Yes browseable = No create mask = 0770 [Shared] comment = Shared path= /stor1/shared valid users = ralph read only = No browseable = Yes create mask = 0750 -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + Ralph | Internet Systems Security + + Boundariez.com | -Specializing in Paranoia- + -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + ralph[!at]boundariez[dot!]com | Never understimate the power + +AIM: SekurityWizard | stupid people + +ICQ: 2206039|in large groups+ -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mozilla's gone crazy?
Hey all, I've been having problems with the Mozilla 1.5 that comes with the 5.2.1 ports tree...so I decided to go and grab the latest source, and build it. What I can't figure out is what happens next...the ./configure works just fine but the make part of it blows up like I've never seen before. I'm going to paste it below...but - is there anything else I can do? I've got 1.5 installed from the ports collection...and I guess I'll take this time to also ask how to upgrade a package - such as Mozilla, if there is a more recent ports build.

Your best bet is probably java/jdk14 which is the native version of JDK 1.4.2. It will need to first install the linux-JDK though for bootstrapping purposes. Choose the JDK you would like to install and do 'make install'.

All appeared to go well, until this: crazy# portupgrade -r samba /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:35:in `require': No such file to load -- pkgtools (LoadError) from /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade:35 Well, line 35 is thus: require pkgtools So what happened? How do I fix it?

If you are a ruby developer and want to keep ruby 1.6 as default, please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf. Otherwise, please run the following series of commands to migrate to ruby 1.8: 1) Reinstall portupgrade manually (and as a result ruby 1.8 will be installed): pkg_delete portupgrade-\* (cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade; make install clean) 2) Reinstall everything that depends on ruby 1.6 to use ruby 1.8 instead: portupgrade -fr lang/ruby16 3) Reinstall ruby 1.8 (because the previous step kills symlinks): portupgrade -f lang/ruby18 4) Deinstall ruby 1.6 stuff (if you are paranoia): pkg_deinstall -ri lang/ruby16 5) If the above commands do now work somehow and portupgrade starts causing LoadError, please reinstall portupgrade manually again. Whenever you get confused, you can always deinstall portupgrade and all the ruby stuff (run pkg_delete -r ruby-\*) and reinstall portupgrade as a last resort. ...and yes, it worked like a charm just now for me.
