Upgrade to imap-uw 2006j Breaks Logins
As part of a portupgrade, one of my servers just picked up the latest version of imap-uw (2006j). Now users can no longer login as imapd claims they are providing incorrect passwords. I manually copied the version I was using (2004g) to /usr/local/libexec/imapd, and all is well, so it is definitely the new release. I did try manually reinstalling the imap-uw and cclient ports using the make option to enable both SSL and plain text passwords. Still no joy.

Dreaded '__mb_sb_limit' Error And What To Do About It
On one of my FBSD 6-STABLE machines, I have the system cvsup the latest sources nightly and rebuild (but not install) the system and all relevant kernels. Every week or so, I go to single user and install what was last built (assuming the build worked OK). My last such venture was on 11-20-2007 without problems. Tonight, I tried to do this again, and immediately got hit with the libexec '_mb_sb_limit' symbol missing problem. I fell back to the 11-20-2007 system image, and all is once again well. So, here's my question. Is this a temporary problem that will be resolved at some point before 6.3 is released, or do I have have to rebuild the entire system applications set to get new binaries that don't depend on this symbol? Also, if it is going to be fixed, how will I know it has been before trying another update like this again? TIA, P.S. Rebuilding the apps on this system would be a REAL pain. Here's hoping the fine FBSD developers can find it within themselves to make this symbol once again appear so old binaries will run unchanged. -- ---- Tim Daneliuk [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It occurred to me that this chipset has been around long enough that it was very likely not a driver problem. I went back and replaced the IDE cable with another one known to be good and, voila', problem solved. What's weird about this is that the "bad" cable is a more-or-less new low profile round IDE cable I got from Tiger Direct a while back. It is the 20" variety which may be contributing noise to the problem. Weirder still is that neither Linux nor Windows seemed to have problems with it, though I did not test as thoroughly with those OSs. I'd guess that the FBSD driver is perhaps trying to squeeze the last bit of optimization out of the controller and thus drives the IDE bus to its limits, hence the problem shows up there. Either that, or I just didn't pound on the machine hard enough with Linux especially to see the problem. I should have guessed "cable problem" right away, but given the relative newness of the cable, that seemed unlikely. In a related note: I also discovered that the FreeBSD install CD Fixit environment does flakey things when you try to untar a large file from a USB drive plugged in through an external hub.

ANN: 'tbku' 1.115 - Backup And System Imaging Tool
'tbku 1.115 is released and available at: http://www.tundraware.com/Software/tbku/ What Is 'tbku'? === 'tbku' is a utility for producing "tarball" backups of some- or all of your files. It is useful both for producing incremental backups or for systemwide images or "snapshots". The tool can be run either from the command line or, more typically, as a cron job to automate system backup tasks. 'tbku' can also be used to capture system images which can then later be used to (re)provision other machines. The distribution includes explanations of how to "image" systems from a tarball produced with 'tbku', using FreeBSD and SUSE Linux as examples. 'tbku' uses standard utilities common on Unix-like systems, like 'tar', 'sed', and 'uname'. It uses no other special or custom tools. For this reason, it is highly portable across many variants of these systems. 'tbku' was originally developed as a backup tool for FreeBSD servers. Since then, it has been updated to also work with SUSE Linux, both servers and desktops. 'tbku' should work with little- or no modification on any other Unix-like system. For example, 'tbku' will run without modification (other than default locations) in a cywgin environment under MS-Windows. There is no charge for the use of 'tbku', but please take a moment to read the licensing terms.

Somewhat OT: CVS Question
Forgive the OT nature of this, but FBSD tends to be a big CVS user, so I am hoping someone has an answer for this. Feel free to reply privately if you do not wish to inflict your answer up on the whole list... Is there a way to checkout a project from a CVS repo *into the current directory*?

[ANN] tperimeter 1.113 Released And Available
'tperimeter' Version 1.113 is released and available at:
http://www.tundraware.com/Software/tperimeter/
The last public release was 1.112
What's New
--
Changed the wrapper file rebuild logic to delete outstanding access
requests independently of how often the script is run (either by
cron, or manually). This means that the 'cron' frequency now
determines the average waiting time before a user's request is
fulfilled. The '${DURATION}' variable in 'rebuild-hosts.allow.sh'
sets how long access will be permitted (The default value is 10
minutes).
Minor documentation updates, typo fixes, and housekeeping.
What Is 'tperimeter'?
-
Have you ever been away from the office and needed, say, ssh access to
your system? Ooops - you can't do that because in your zealous pursuit
of security, you set your TCP wrappers to prevent outside access to all
but a select group of hosts. Worse still, everywhere you go, your local
IP address changes so there is no practical way to open up the wrappers
for this situation.
'tperimeter' is a dynamic TCP wrapper control system that gives you
(limited) remote control of your TCP wrapper configuration. It does this
via a web interface that you've (hopefully) secured with https/SSL. You
just log in, specify your current IP address and one of the services you
want to access. 'tperimeter' will then briefly open a hole in your
wrappers long enough to let you in. It then automatically closes the
hole again. Voila! Remote access to your system, wherever you are. You
get much of the facility of a VPN or so-called "port knocking" without
most of the aggravation. As a side benefit, 'tperimeter' will also
simplify management of your standard /etc/hosts.allow TCP wrapper
control file.
'tperimeter' is written in python, shell script, and html. It is very
small and easy to maintain. It was developed and tested on FreeBSD 4.x/8.x,
and apache 1.x/2.x, but should run with very minor (or no) modification on
most Unix-like systems like Linux or Mac OS X hosts. It comes complete
with documentation in html, pdf, dvi, and Postscript formats. There is
no licensing fee for any use, personal, commercial, government,
or institutional.

The compilation is blowing out (that might explain the observed problem).
That is, the port does not build properly - apparently there is some
syntax problem in the code:

Continuously polling log files for regex hits seems...well crude. Just to give you an idea of what I mean, here were some of the issues I had.

By default, every time an IP is reinstated, all IPs are reinstated. Not to mention, at present I can't seem to get it to trigger any hits.

1) Is there a better way?
Consider allowing only the ICMP that does things you want to do. Google something like
"icmp types to allow" for some hints and opinions. Just as an example, you can
independently control being able to ping others and others being able to ping you.
2) Will this cause harm or otherwise expose the server to some
vulnerability?
Well, if you allow all ICMP types, it's possible to make your little packets go
places you didn't really want them to go, and similar network breakage. You can
also find those who feel strongly that allowing others to ping your machines
gives them way too much information about what you have at which IP address. On
the other hand, working ping and traceroute can be very handy to figure out
what's wrong when the network breaks. But do you open up access on your
server?---well not so much, though having said that I'm ready for somebody to
remind me of some obscure attack that uses ICMP for more than information
gathering. :-)
--Jon Radel
j...@ratdel.com
I have been so advised by a number of people to do just this and I
am investigating.
I am not horribly concerned about this, though, because the
machine in question is a NATing front end for a private,
non-routable LAN and the associated nameserver uses split-horizon
DNS to make all the internal name-ip associations invisible
outside the LAN. So ... I don't really see much threat
here. I am throttling ICMP rates via sysctl because - AFAIK -
the only overt ICMP attack is to flood a target in hopes
of getting Denial Of Services.
As with you, I remain open to someone presenting a scenario
wherein a particular ICMP protocol could actually cause harm...
Thanks for your time.

Something is going wrong with your upgrade process. If you're doing a
minor version upgrade of perl (eg. from 5.x.y to 5.x.y+1), then almost
all perl modules (including XS) only need to be moved into the new
${LOCALBASE}/lib/perl5/site-perl/5.x.y+1 directory tree, which is
basically what perl-after-upgrade does.
A few packages which embed a perl interpreter would need recompiling,
but you could count those on the fingers of one hand.
Are you sure you are using perl-after-upgrade correctly? You do
understand that just running:
# perl-after-upgrade
doesn't actually modify anything on disk: instead it shows you what
needs to be done. To actually effect the change you need to run:
# perl-after-upgrade -f
Aha! And the lights go on ... Nevermind.

a 'sourced' script does -not- honor a shebag line.
you can exploit that.
The executable script /usr/local/bin/source_only;
#!/bin/sh
echo Error: this script must be sourced
Your script:
#!/usr/local/bin/source_only
{cmd}
{cmd}
{cmd}

{cmd}
...

Trying to do it totally self-contained is not easy.
Actually, it's not that hard. Setting the shebang line to this does
the trick:
#!/bin/echo "This Script Must Be Sourced"

NFS Performance: Weirder And Weirder
This is really weird. A FreeBSD 9.1 system mounts the following: /dev/ad4s1a989M625M285M69%/ devfs 1.0k1.0k 0B 100%/dev /dev/ad4s1d7.8G 1G6.1G14%/var /dev/ad4s1e 48G9.4G 35G21%/usr /dev/ad4s1f390G127G231G35%/usr1 /dev/ad6s1d902G710G120G86%/usr1/BKU /usr1/something (under ad4s1f) and /usr1/BKU (all of ad6s1d) are exported for NFS mounting on the LAN. I have tested the speeds of these two drives locally doing a 'dd if=/dev/zero '. Their speeds are quite comparable - around 55-60 MB/s so the problem below is not an artifact of a slow drive. The two mounts are imported like this on a Linux Mint 12 machine: machine:/usr1/BKU /BKU nfs rw,soft,intr 0 0 machine:/usr1/shared /shared nfs rw,soft,intr 0 0 Problem: When I write files from the LM12 machines to /BKU the writes are 1/10 the speed of when writing to /shared. Reads are fine in both cases, at near native disk speeds being reported. Someone here suggested I get rid of any symlinks in the mount and I did that to no avail. Incidentally, the only reason I just noticed this is that I upgraded the NIC on the FreeBSD machine and the switch into which it connects to 1000Base because the LM12 machine had a built in 1000Base NIC. I also changed the cables on both machines to ensure they were not the problem. Prior to this, I was bandwidth constrained by the 100Base so I never saw NFS performance as an issue. When I upgraded, I expected faster transfers and when I didn't get them, I started this whole investigation. So ... I'm stumped: - It's not the drive or SATA ports because both drives show comparable performance. - It's not the cables because I can get great throughput on one of the NFS mountpoints. - It's neither NIC for the same reason.

I have read messages once more .
There is a phrase : Linux Mint 12 machineS ( plural ) .
In your descriptions , there is no any information about network setup :
Single client ,
multiple clients , etc .
Then , with some assumptions :
If there is ONLY ONE client , and all of the tests are performed on this ONLY
client ,
problem may be attributed to FreeBSD server or kind of file(s) in different
directories :
One of the is encrypted ( requires decryption ) , another is plain file , etc. .
There is one server - FreeBSD, and one client - LM12.
Both have had their cables replaced with new CAT6 wiring.
Copying the exact same file to each of the NFS mounts exhibits the problem.
Reading from the two NFS mount is fast and as expected, so I do not suspect
network issues.
The two drives used on the server show similar disk performance locally.
The server side exports are identical for both mounts as are the client side
mounts.
The ONLY difference is that the "fast" NFS mount has server side permissions of
777 whereas the "slow" NFS mount has server side permissions of 775. Both
are owned by root:wheel. The contents of each filesystem are owned by a
user in the wheel group. The one other difference is that all the contents
of the slow mount are in a particular user group, and all the ones in the
fast mount are in the wheel group. Changing the group ownership of all the
stuff in the slow mount to wheel makes no difference.
The problem appears to be size related on the slow mount. When I copy,
say, a 100MB file to it, performance is just fine. When I copy a 1G file,
it's 1/20 the throughput (45MB/sec vs 2MB/sec).
This feels like some kind of buffer starvation but the fact that I can
run at full speed against another mount point leaves me scratching my
head as to just where. It's almost like there's some kind of halting
going on during the transfer.

You don't need all that for a simple truncation/substring, you can do it with a

That works for bash, not sh.

Ok granted, but I don't think that ${#foo} is straight sh either, so I
assumed "things bash/tcsh/ksh/whatever accept when running in sh emulation"
were ok.

The character sentinel avoids this without having to use -z, which as I said, I've had problems with not being too portable across older machinery. All work as expected. It matters not the value of $foo. sh(1) in FreeBSD knows because of the double-quotes that it is not an operator. Furthermore... "==" is not the right operator. It's "=".

Thanks, Oh one more thing - does anyone have experience - good or bad - with installing and running the Tivoli TSM Client software under the FreeBSD Linux emulation? would help to know the manufacturer, might be able to help nail down the version of the OS It is an EMC/Isolon but I'm not sure which model. Still looking into it. -- -------- Tim Daneliuk tun...@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ ___ 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"

Since SquirrelMail Looks Like It Will Never Be Supported Again...
SquirrelMail seems to be forever on hold because of an incompatibility with PHP 5. So I am going to have to replace it as our Webmail interface. So, I'm looking for recommendation from the tribe here on what I should use instead: 1) Easy to use. Mostly this gets used by people when they are away from the office and then only occasionally. 2) It would be really nice if the program could import the Thunderbird Address Book. 3) Easy to install and maintain.

/bin/sh Madness
Here is a shell function that behaves quite strangely:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Execute A Command, Noting Start/Stop Time, & Logging Output
# Args:
# $1 Command Name
# $2 Log Directory
# $3 Command String To Execute
#
runupd()
{
log=$2/$1.log
timestamp $log
touch $2/.$1-begin && eval $3 2>&1 >> $log && touch $2/.$1-end &
}
# End of 'runupd()'
So, you might do something like:
runupd freespace /var/log/ "df -k"
Now, for the weirdness. This function works fine in my script
so long as one of two conditions is met:
1) I run it interactively from the command line (bash)
OR
2) I run it from 'cron' AND $3 is *not* another script
If I try to run it from 'cron' and point $3 to a script, everything gets
run as planned, however, the ending timestamp (touch $2/.$1-end) never
runs. That is, the initial time stamp (.$1-begin) and the command itself
are executed, and output is properly written to the logfile,
but the final timestamp never happens.
I have been fiddling with this on- and off and cannot seem to explain
the behavior. I',m guessing that something about the combination of
'cron'and the 2>&1 >> $log business is causing the last touch to never
get invoked, but for the life of me, I cannot figure this one out.
Interestingly, this works fine in Linux (SuSE 10.0). In Linux, both
'sh' and 'bash' are the same binary (bash is running as sh). So ..
I went back to FreeBSD (4.x in this case, though the problem is also
noted in 6.x) and changed the SHELL variable in the crontabs file to
use 'bash' - same problem.
This is starting to feel like a problem with file handles getting clobbered
in the FreeBSD exec logic.
Other explanations welcome...

Could your $3 command be returning a nonzero exit code? You probably
want something more like
touch $2/.$1-begin && { eval $3 2>&1 >> $log ; touch $2/.$1-end } &
I am looking into this.
so your end timestamp always gets created whether or not $3 succeeds.
Also note that in your original script, you only backgrounded "touch
$2/.$1-end", which is probably not what you wanted.
H - I have invoked the script that uses this function a variety
of ways and the command being evaled *is* being backgrounded in
every case with the syntax shown above ...

This seems not to work - I don't think 'sh' likes nested function braces -
recall that this command appears inside a shell function.
In any case, I think I have nailed the problem. It seems that the
external script being called made reference to 'chown' without explicitly
naming the program's path. Under 'cron' control, there is no path to
/usr/sbin by default so the script was exiting with a non-zero exit status
as several here suggested. .
Many thanks to all who took time to answer.

Re: Path And 'cron'
Randy Pratt wrote: If I do not have a PATH= statement in a particular user's crontab, what is used for a default PATH? From "man 5 crontab" : Several environment variables are set up automatically by the cron (8) daemon. SHELL is set to /bin/sh, PATH is set to /usr/bin:/bin, and LOGNAME and HOME are set from the /etc/passwd line of the crontab's owner. HOME, PATH and SHELL may be overridden by settings in the crontab; LOGNAME may not. I wonder if I can use the PATH=$PATH:/my/new/stuff formulation in a crontab file to preserve this default. I'll have to look into that. Is the path in /etc/crontab inherited somehow? Given that the default shell is /bin/sh, are the settings in /etc/profile observed? If no PATH is established there either, what will cron use? I am trying to determine the best place to establish correct global PATH settings for all cron users so I don't have to edit each users' crontab file when file locations are updated or changed. It seems that the PATH is being set in the source code, in particular /usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/cron/pathnames.h : #ifndef _PATH_DEFPATH # define _PATH_DEFPATH "/usr/bin:/bin" #endif I suppose its possible to change the source and rebuild but there may be subtle interactions that aren't readily apparent that would need to be considered. There may even be a knob to tweak somewhere for this. That's what I was hoping for - tweaking the source is not a very clean way to solve my problem. In case you're interested (or anyone else listening), it seems that 'chown' likes to live in /usr/sbin - i.e., A place not in the default path. As it happens, a root cron task is trying to run a script that uses 'chown' and is thus failing. I can change the PATH just for root's crontab and solve the problem. I was just curious if there was a way to more broadly modify the defaults used by cron.

The standard solution would be to use a full path to the command in the
script (/usr/sbin/chown). If it's used in multiple locations, defining
it as a shell variable makes it maintainable:
CHOWN="/usr/sbin/chown"
${CHOWN} somefile
...
${CHOWN} anotherfile
-Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
The problem in this case is that it is not a shell script I own
or maintain - it is the shell script provided with 'nessus' to update
its plugins. I could certainly modify the script, but then I'd have
to remember to do this every time I upgraded the program. I prefer
"fire and forget" solutions that take care of themselves automatically.
Hence my desire to be able to change the default path cron uses in
some config file
