Re: dead; need help reconnecting
They probably switched it from NAT to passthru with only 2 IPs. But that's not your problem to figure out. What you need to do is what the error is from: Check the following: 1) Computer (is one computer having an issue or could one computer be the CAUSE of the issue?) 2) Cabling - is there a bad Ethernet cable. Replace any custom cables with prefab. You'd be amazed how many problems come from bad cuts. 3) Networking layer - is there a bad NIC or switch? - you've had this problem before. 4) When you bring the network to one device - can you get online? Can someone ping your public IP address from somewhere else? 5) Is the Telco in the midst of an outage or did hardware fail? There is more to those 5 items but they are great ones to work from. 9 times out of 10 it's somewhere under #1. Also I suggest a proper UPS and the apcupsd daemon.

The setup wasn't that hard, you just have to forward the right ports and get the certificates copied to the clients correctly. The docs on the OpenVPN site were very helpful in this for me. The trouble you may find is that this other VPN appliance you reference, NetVanta, may or may not be compatible with OpenVPN. I tried this several years ago with a remote company I was working for and found out quite dissappointingly that the protocol used by OpenVPN would not work whatsoever with Cisco equipment. That may have changed now but at the time all the advice I got was forget about it. Cisco equipment would not work with OpenVPN period. Luckily at the time I had a small Cisco appliance at my house and that is the only way I could get that setup to work. These days I happily connect to my LAN with encrypted tunnels from most places like hotels, etc... There is a problem sometimes at places like Starbucks or McDonalds where they have equipment which is blocking ports needed to run VPN.

Diagnosing _this_ problem should have taken no more than about 30 *seconds*. If you can't get somewhere 'by name', you try to get there 'by address'. If 'by address' works and 'by name' doesn't, *that* is the indication of a DNS problem. If you can't get there 'by address', it is *NOT* a DNS problem, and you start looking for a 'connectivity' problem. The *BASIC* tools for that start with 'traceroute'. Which would have *immediately* (well, within abut ten seconds :) indicated exactly _where_ the problem was. Those who don't understand these kind dof things are too dangerous to be trusted with the superuser password. Bluntly, not only do you not know the things you need to know to manage a (even 'personal') network, you DON'T KNOW _what_ you don't know, and until you *do* learn the basics, you'll save youself a *LOT* of hair- tearing if you hire someone to solve the problems for you. I whole-heartedly agree with Robert's points. I host in my apartment... but I have more than a decade's experience maintaining networks and systems and, while the occasional issue stumps me, I'm pretty good at getting to the root of issues in minutes vs hours. Yes, I was once a... for lack of a better term... moron on these things and I relied heavily on the tech who pushed me (gently) towards ƒBSD from RHL and I am gracious every day for that nudge. Experience is the best way to pick up the quick list of things to check on if there's a problem on your connectivity... but there's one thing I *must* stress: NEVER EVER EVER run your own DNS service. It's too much of a PITA. When I quit doing my own DNS my issues revolving around that ended. I use DynDNS to run my primary domain and all the others run through GoDaddy's free DNS manager. This is because I use the primary domain's hostname as my MX record on all the others. While GD's DNS is functional, it's also cumbersome, too cumbersome to update on a semi-regular basis. I highly suggest that you do the same. $20/year for DynDNS' full domain service is worth the price.

Re: how to force a hard reboot remotely
When bottom replying, please clear the header and signature - thanks. You can set up a BIOS boot time, if you can get onsite... that would allow you to power it down at, say, 11:59PM and have it power back on at Midnight. Or a UPS that's controlled by another machine. Or the magic packet WOL option... but those require another machine. Maybe a switch or router than can send WOL packets would be a possibility? -- Ryan On Jul 16, 2011, at 10:31 PM, Bill Tillman wrote: WOW! That's a tall order. A reboot from remote is simple, but a cold bootI don't think that's possible unless you have some kind of Wake-On-Lan capable NIC which could detect a connection attempt while the machine is off. I can't say that for sure because what you've got to remember is that with a cold boot, the machine will no longer remember what OS it was running until it reboots. My advice would be to get to the console if you absolutely have to cold boot it. Or call someone nearby the console and have the actually turn the machine off, wait the obligatory 30 seconds and then restart it.

Get a microcontroller and a relay, and tell the microcontroller to kill power to the system. Make sure in the BIOS you're set to restart when the power comes back on. If that fails you'll need another relay to short the on button. I don't know of anything in the computer that could be easily used instead of a microcontroller.

Extending pw(8) username limit
I have a special situation where I'd like to do either first.last_somedomain.com or first.l...@somedomain.com but the former is rejected due to length and the latter due to the @ by pw(8).

Re: Extending pw(8) username limit
I already run 10 domains worth of emails here, I would prefer to avoid adding anything that will screw with already functioning accounts... But maybe there's an option on Dovecot to reroute specific username requests to masquerade that... I'll check that out tomorrow. Thanks.

From prior experience, your users are going to loathe (hate isn't strong enough) 16+ character usernames. If the problem is that you want to setup email aliases mapping (eg) charles.swiger, charles_swiger, chuck.swiger, etc, etc to cswiger, the mail aliases file supports that just fine. And if you want to support users in multiple domains, the /etc/passwd database is just not the place to do it. Consider SASL, LDAP, or even NIS+; and SASL in particular integrates very smoothly with multi-domain email via Cyrus, Dovecot, etc. Regards, -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Yeah, but perhaps I should have used sed instead of the second awk;
fewer processes:
du -h | awk '{a[i++]=$0} END {for (j=i-1; j=0;) print a[j--] }' | sed

That does exactly the same -- where I've put CTRL-V+TAB__ you
have to type Ctrl-V, then a literal [::tab::] key; BSD sed doesn't do

That would cause a lot of file hanging, with locking, if you get any decent amount of traffic... I'd just stick to the simple TXT counter for the time being.

Re: why does this simple counter fail?
Here's a quick and dirty option...
FIRST make sure your permissions on the folder you want to write the countfile
to is either at RWX to all or is owned by the Apache run user (PHP by default
runs under the Apache Service user).
I ran this in file test.php on my server. Give it a whirl.
?
$dir = /path/to/stored/counts/;
$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].test/; //This was to test in test
directory in VHOST root folder.
$file = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']..txt; //this keeps it from being loaded in
browser as a php-executable

Ok, i added the error_reporting line to both scripts. No change
from the count.php, and the same output as prev from my script that
tries to pick a random entry from some 70 quotes. here is what the
randomquote.php scipt output onto the home page:
Last updated:
17 February, 2011
echo err-9 line below:\n; $number-1){ // If ran out of quotes,
start again! $num=0; } if (file_exists($directory.$quotecountfile))
{ $nu = fopen ($directory.$quotecountfile, w); fputs($nu,$num); }
else { die(Cant Find $quotecountfile); } } ?
Note that i added the echo line just now.
Having a quote isn't as meaningful as giving users the latest
pagecount. That still fails without any errors.

Automating mounting of ISO images
I have a folder full of ISOs that we're sharing on the network instead of having the discs available (seems like a good idea, right?) But I want to automate the process on boot instead of having to write a static script to do the work. Disc images are located in /mount/disc_images/ (all are ISOs) They need to mount into /mount/office_files/images/FILENAME [without the .iso extension] How can I do this? I've always been given these types of scripts in the past at an old job but I don't have access to those examples anymore. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Automating mounting of ISO images
We're close on this (thanks for the push).
It wants to load the entire path up in ${DEST} which is not ideal but I can
live with that.
I am also trying to make the directories right before the attempt to mount the
image (a 'duh' moment just now).
So I'd like to have just the filename, not the full path, made as a folder...
In other news: The ISOs are all made by me, so no special chars, just capital
and lowercase letters, sometimes numbers, no spaces and use of underscores and
hyphens.
thanks!

Something like this might do (untested, though):
#! /bin/sh
for FILE in /mount/disc_images/*; do
DEST=$FILE:r
mount -t cd9660 /dev/`mdconfig -f ${FILE}`
/mount/office_files/images/${DEST}
done
Might need to add quotes if you have spaces or other unusual characters in
your ISO filenames

Underscores and hypens are traditionally not a problem. Spaces
can be and need extra attention. But as you're using PROPER
filenames, it should be easy to get the target directory name
from the ISO filename.
The unelegant way is to use basename:
DIRNAME=`basename ${FILE} .iso`
Of course, there's a sh builtin for the same purpose:
DIRNAME=${FILE%.iso}
Adding this to the iteration list, you can easily create
the directories needed prior to the mount attempt.
I'll give this a whirl in a bit.

I am also trying to make the directories right before the attempt

So I'd like to have just the filename, not the full path, made

A directory. :-)
In other news: The ISOs are all made by me, so no special chars,
just capital and lowercase letters, sometimes numbers, no spaces
and use of underscores and hyphens.
Underscores and hypens are traditionally not a problem. Spaces
can be and need extra attention. But as you're using PROPER
filenames, it should be easy to get the target directory name
from the ISO filename.
The unelegant way is to use basename:
DIRNAME=`basename ${FILE} .iso`
Of course, there's a sh builtin for the same purpose:
DIRNAME=${FILE%.iso}
Adding this to the iteration list, you can easily create
the directories needed prior to the mount attempt.

Thanks to Polytropon and Chuck for their guidance.
Just a little note:
Make sure you're mounting the ISOs as -o ro to prevent
write access to them. If users don't have +w access to
the mounted directories, you can leave out this step.
Depending on the permissions used, this might corrupt
(or at least change) the image files which may not be
desired.
If you want to omit one external program call (one per
iteration step), use DIRNAME=${FILE%.iso} instead of the
`basename ${FILE} .iso` - although it's more obvious what
DIRNAME gets designated to. :-)
I did try that once and it didn't strip the directory structure out so when
basename worked I didn't mess with it too much. If we have 100+ ISOs to mount
then I'll worry.

Re: Bot?
I agree on this point. That said, I once thought my employer's server was hacked and I ran local utilities and dug through months of logs only to discover that an install of either phpBB or phpMyAdmin had a slice of bad code that allowed someone to install software remotely and run its own p2p network off of it. I wasted a few days trying to dig in the wrong place.

Re: Bot? / pf question
Yes and no. You want to leave ftp open, too, just in case for port upgrading/downloading, plus you would want to do monitoring across the wire (Nagios or something, maybe?). You could, though, do a dual-NIC setup and have one be a private network LAN for the servers if you aren't already considering it.
