Is there a way to tell whether the firmware they provide supports my card? Like I said, I can locate my access point (and others that are around) and ask for an IP . . . it seems as though I'm so close. I'm fairly certain that I have all of the avliable bwi(4) bits installed correctly. I dwonloaded and installed the driver and added *if_bwi_load=YES* in my loader.conf. I loaded the .ko file (bwi_v3). I downloaded and installed the firmware from dflyBSD and followed their directions. Yet I get no offer. Is the fact that I fail to get an offer indicate the firmware incompatinbility? 9 in BCM94306MP indicates that its supports 80211n and as such certainly it is not supported with bwi(4) and reason is that bwi developers do not plan to add support for 4 version firmware (when last time I played with bwi).

IPI_PREEMPTION is used only with 4bsd scheduler.

I used ifconfig (as root) to set the ip address and netmask for fwe0, but am unable to ping another machine on the network. I have not tried installing FreeBSD before but have installed other operating systems in the past including various versions of Linux. Is it possible that FreeBSD is not recognising the ethernet device properly at boot time, and giving it the wrong driver? Or is there a simpler step I missed?

Re: FreeBSD 7.1, nvidia-driver, GeForce 8500 GT
Giuseppe Pagnoni wrote: Dear all, I have just installed FreeBSD 7.1 Release on a machine with a GeForce 8500 GT (I think this is the card, but more about that later...) and an LCD screen with a native resolution of 1680 x 1050. Xorg works fine with the standard nv driver. However, if I try to install the x11/nvidia-driver (which should bring better graphic performance, right?) I get a total system freeze when I start the X server. Here are the details of what I have done: 1) install x11/nvidia-driver 2) add nvidia_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf 3) modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf by substituting nvidia to nv in the Driver line. At this point (after rebooting), if I start the X server with startx, I get a black screen and the system *completely* hangs (neither ctrl-alt-backspace, nor even ctrl-alt-delete work).

Responses to icmp packets is one. Almost all hosts will respond to pings unless they're prevented by a firewall. Another way is the type of response to a probe of a port. Sometimes services will respond differently if they're firewalled than if they're not listening on a particular port. Also, very few computers have no ports at all listening. For example, most unix boxes will be running syslogd and listening on port udp/514. That is the default for that daemon. Unless you reconfigured syslogd to listen on localhost only, it will respond to probes. Sometimes a host will respond to a problem with RSETs. It's very, very hard to configure a box in such a way that it's impossible to detect that it's up and running. Run sockstat and look at what's listening on your computer. Then see if you can figure out how to get it to stop listening on those ports.

If you're maintaining servers, that could cause an outage while you try to remember what your edits were. one has to remember the port's configuration whichever method is used. my memory isn't good so i keep detailed notes. recording in these notes which checkboxes in the config pseudo-gui were checked and unchecked is not convenient. i'm not sure i wouldn't prefer editing a file and keeping a diff with my notes, as i do for the other config files i change. Your choices for the config of a port are saved in the ports system. (Look in /var/db/ports/ if you're curious.) Unless you need to make some changes, they will be pre-selected each time you update the port. (There are some exceptions to this, where ports will always prompt for the config.) If you think a port is incorrectly built (unnecessary dependencies, for example) there's nothing wrong with submitting a PR and asking the maintainer to update the port. If the maintainer rejects your changes, you can always edit locally later, but your submission could benefit thousands of people. IOW, if you're the smartest guy on the block, please don't keep it to yourself. i'm certainly not smart enough to know what might be a better way to design ports like php. but one thing seems odd to me. i ended up with dozens of ports installed that appeared to use nothing but the same php-5.2.8.tar.bz2 distfile. relative to what i'm used to with php (i.e. manual configure, compile, install) this seems a bit untidy and i'm nervous what it might mean for maintenance. Php used to be one monolithic port. The problem was that it required a gazillion options, and many people didn't want anything but the base install. So php#-extensions was created to simplify the install of the base port and make the options more flexible. For example, if a new extension comes out, you can simply install it. No need to reinstall the entire php port. You needn't worry about updating. That's all taken care of in the ports system. When you run portupgrade or portmaster, the extensions ports that need to be updated will be. my guess is that this approach allows the ports framework to handle conditional installation of dependent software on a relatively fine-grained basis depending which options the user chooses. that's a nice feature to have. but wouldn't it be nicer if were just one port with dependencies based off its configuration? I think you can make a solid argument either way. seems that would reduce clutter in the ports tree too and maybe effort for the ports maintainer. I don't think we are worried about clutter in the ports tree. There are over 16,000 ports (and rising), so another 10 or 20 in php is a fairly insignificant increase. -- Paul Schmehl (pa...@utdallas.edu) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/

I agree with you with one caveat. Make sure that you know what you're doing before you do this, and be prepared for the consequences.

When you run portupgrade or portmaster, if there's updates to some of the extensions, those updates will be done at the same time. (There are usually many.)

I have had FreeBSD installed for about a year, and all is working perfectly. I can bring up KDE, run many apps, all without a problem, except for ONE recent development. Every so often FreeBSD initiates a clean shutdown on it's own. Xwindows goes down cleanly, kernel modules are unloaded, processes are stopped, drives are cleanly dismounted, and the system is powered down. It's exactly what you would expect if you issued a shutdown -h now command. No core files are generated, and messages, even when the OS is brought up with verbose logging shows nothing. After trying many things, including running with a previous kernel, a GENERIC kernel, running in single-user mode, running minimalist, etc I decided to buildworld and buildkernel and essentially reinstall everything. While updating sources via cvsup, there was a shutdown. A subsequent attempt completed successfully. I then cleared out /usr/obj and did a make buildworld. After 39 minutes a shutdown. Repeated this, and a shutdown happened after 7 minutes. I repeated this in single user mode, with older kernels, with GENERIC kernel, same results, the system shuts down cleanly at some point. Never at the same point or doing the same task (Yes I used script as well; script simply exits as if make said all done! ). It's as if a ghost-root issued a shutdown -h command. One additional clue. If I bring the system up without acpi the shutdown is instant, and unclean. No scripts are run, drives are left dirty, but still no clue in the logs. I am now stumped! What could cause the system to shut down in this fashion? With acpi active, the init scripts are executed in shutdown mode. What could cause the kernel to believe it has received a command to shutdown like this? I am not new to this stuff, but I have never seen anything like this. I AM new to FreeBSD, I had been running Linux for years until recently, and absolutely love the order, consistency, layout, and clean architecture of this OS. But this is weird! Where to look?

Tomcat Debugging (OT most likely)
Hey all, This question is probably best suited for tomcat-users, but being this is an a FBSD machine I'd figure I'd ask here first. I have a client running apache w/ tomcat serving thousands of requests per second. It works, but with one caveat, pages load extremely slowly. When I first saw the request, I figured this client was running into some kind of resource bottleneck, but that's where my problems started. I'm unable to find any resource that is being starved. I turn to `the mighty list` for guidance. This particular machine is running FreeBSD 6.2. It has a bce network card that currently connected to a GigE switch with a 10G uplink. Even with all this available bandwidth, this client's application *currently* is not doing any more than 50Mb/sec. :: Rule out network congestion. Moving along to the system ram :: 2 Gigs are in the machine, with very little usage: Mem: 724M Active, 874M Inact, 338M Wired, 64M Cache, 112M Buf, 4944K Free A dual core cpu is in the machine, again with very little usage: CPU states: 8.6% user, 0.0% nice, 3.9% system, 2.8% interrupt, 84.7% idle Disk throughput is negligable at this time (50KB/sec :: 3tps).

RE: I've just found a new and interesting spam source - legitimatebounce messages

Smith - Adhost [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Let me know if you do find a reliable, decent solution that does not involve SPF or postfix header_checks or body_checks. The following doesn't fix the problem but it does help mitigate the deluge. We use a PERL script to tail our maillogs looking for any source IP that tries to send mail to more than 4 invalid addresses. When flagged, that IP is then added to a PF table that blocks the address and issues RST's for 12 hours. Of course, we also have a whitelist for valid SMTP servers. Like I said, it doesn't catch it all, but it catches *a lot* and generates almost no complaints. This does help obfuscate the valid/invalid addresses because all mail is accepted as far as the sender is concerned until the IP is blocked at the network layer. The usual complaint is from an remote office that has 12 real estate agents behind a single IP, all with Outlook set to check mail sooner than now. :-) The best solution *by far* that I have found for spam (using Postfix) is mail/postfix-policyd-weight. It routinely rejects 50 to 70% of incoming mail with no false positives. It took *very* little tweaking to get it to this point, and it rejects the mail before postfix even deals with it.

I use spamassassin as well, but policyd-weight does the heavy lifting. We used to use numerous features in postfix to block mail during different phases of the SMTP handshake, requiring strings meet RFC standards, comply with being FQDNs, resolve, blah blah... It worked great... until... One day, one of my users mailed me stating they were in a lot of trouble: they hadn't been receiving any mails from eBay, specifically contact from buyers/sellers (to negotiate payment means, etc.), and outbid notifications. I went digging through logs, and sure enough found the cause: eBay's HELO strings were what pedants would call absolutely preposterous. They violated 3 or 4 different checks postfix had. At first I tuned postfix to allow certain IP blocks through that check, only to find that it's nearly impossible to determine all of the IP blocks eBay has -- in fact, some of their mail gets siphoned through a third-party mailer, and it looks like that mailer uses IPs all over the place. Meaning: administrative nightmare. There is nothing worse than telling your users Okay, I've fixed it, only to get mail from them 24 hours later stating Umm, no you didn't, and this is really starting to piss me off. I went through the same ordeal with other users and their LiveJournal mail notifications being blocked. The point I'm trying to make is that all this overly-aggressive filtering might work great if you're one guy maintaining your own box only used by you -- and I have a feeling a lot of people who post on this list are exactly that. It's a **completely** different game when you've got other people reliant upon your mail filtering decisions. The problem with blocking mail early on (meaning before it's queued, e.g. SMTP 5xx or 4xx rejections) is that the end-user has no knowledge of this. They simply do not get the mail. They're left in the dark, wondering Did person send the mail? Are they lying to me? What's going on???. It's a very sensitive thing when you're a hosting provider. In the case of my users, they would much rather get the mail and have it incorrectly flagged as spam, than not get it at all. I personally believe this directly reflects on the state of anti-spam affairs: we've gotten so aggressive that *who KNOWS* what kind of legitimate mail we're blocking. That's why it's critically important that whatever tools you use be highly configurable. In the case of policyd-weight, you can configure it so that it passes *everything* through but marks it in such a way that you can filter it appropriately. In my case, I run a small hobby website with a minimal number of email addresses. When I first installed policyd-weight, I watched it closely and discovered it was blocking legitimate mail from sbcglobal because they didn't have their mail servers' dns properly configured. The result was a score just slightly higher than the threshold for rejection (a tenth of a point or two.) I decided to make that particular check worth less overall, and that solved the problem. I have yet to receive a single complaint about mail not getting through, and, although there's only a handful of accounts on the server, we get mail from our website users constantly. I fully understand where you're coming from, Jeremy. We have the same issues at UTD. But for many smaller sites, policyd-weight would be a godsend. -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. *** Check the headers before clicking on Reply. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You don't really need bash for this.
Here's a sample awk script that should work:
% cat -n /tmp/userlist.awk

2
3 {
4 print $1,has uid,$2;
5 }

% /tmp/userlist.awk /tmp/user-data
admin has uid 100
admin2 has uid 200
admin3 has uid 300
admin4 has uid 400

Sure, but why use an elephant to swat a flea when
awk 'FS=:; {print $1 has uid $3}' /etc/passwd | sort -k 4 -n
works fine and returns the accounts in numerical order?

Re: Best way to back up mysql database
--On September 30, 2008 6:18:35 PM -0400 John Almberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: First, I wanted to say how great this list is. I'm a newbie FreeBSD admin and, besides the Handbook and Absolute FreeBSD (which never seems to leave my desk), this list is the best resource I have. I just had a huge scare today... One of the websites on my server uses a large Mysql database. Somehow, one of the tables got corrupted today. I have been blithely backing up mysql with a simple cron script that ran mysqldump every night. Simple, reliable, and I've never needed it. Today, when I realized the database was corrupted, I scrambled for my backup, and realized that if I hadn't caught the problem today, tomorrow my backup would have been overwritten, and I would have been... well, not a happy camper. Again, I have run into a problem which is stupidly obvious to experienced admins, I'm sure. I want to slap myself, but don't have time. I'll do that after I have a better backup system in place. I am just about to dive into Google in search of a solution, but thought I would fire off a quick request, in case there is an obvious solution that everyone uses. If there is, a name or URL will do. I'll figure out the rest. Any hints much appreciated. Not going home until this is fixed... Found this on the mysql documentation site: #!/bin/sh date=`date -I` mysqldump --opt --all-databases | bzip2 -c /var/backup/databasebackup-$date.sql.bz2 The date must be something from linux, but you can do it like this in FSBD: #!/bin/sh date=`date +%Y-%m-%d.%H:%M:%S` mysqldump --opt --all-databases | bzip2 -c /var/backup/databasebackup-$date.sql.bz2 Using this makes every dump uniquely named, even if you run several a day, so you would need to edit newsyslog.conf to rotate the dumps after a number of dumps that you choose so you don't keep writing dumps until the hard drive is full.

You can compare this to the output of `last` to see if the dates and ttys match up with your logins. If they don't match up, they're probably not login shells, and more investigation is required, possibly by using things like `ps uwwtp1` for the shell on p1.

Re: Sendmail become open relay
This might be more general advice than a specific help, but i've found most bad mail originating from me comes from php driven forum sites.

General Mysql Performance Question

While testing the performance of the databases given in this graph, the one thing that sticks out is that when Mysql uses the myisam engine with the ULE schedular, performance drops quite considerably regardless of mysql version. The clearly shows ULE to perform worst at higher work loads than 4BSD, at least in this one example. Now, I read that lockmgr code is still a work in progress, but I'm unsure if that applies specifically to this specific problem that I'm providing.

That kind of thing is fairly common when you have a workload with high contention; if you improve performance at one bottleneck the performance at a later bottleneck can get worse. Performance will still be better on other workloads, or when further work improves the other bottlenecks.

Right, I do very similar stuff. You'd use this like:

Quotes seem to confound this alias. I haven't bothered to fix that; as
long as what you're searching for doesn't glob a file, you should be
fine without quotes.
You can also do more complex things in either sed or awk, colour-coding
individual pattern matches. Here's one in awk that I use to highlight

That was one line broken to aid in emailing, but that's what
types of lines are involved. The MAC appears at different field
locations depending on the type of event being logged so awk is
perfect for certain types of lines, but it misses others and no
one awk expression gets them all.
While I agree with others that awk should be used with explicit
recognition of the particular lines, you can still snatch everything
with sed if you want to. In FreeBSD, sed supported extended regex, so:
sed -nE 's/.*([0-9a-f]{2}(:[0-9a-f]{2}){5}).*/\1/p'
The -n option tells sed not to print the line unless instructed to
explicitely, and the p modifier at the end is that instruction. As
for the regex ... well, that's straightforward enough.
This is an attempt to isolate every MAC address that
appears and then sort and count them to see who is having
trouble or, in some cases, is causing trouble.
Then you still may want to use awk for some of that...
cat /var/log/dhcpd.log | \
sed -nE 's/.*([0-9a-f]{2}(:[0-9a-f]{2}){5}).*/\1/p' | \
awk '
{ a[$1]++; }
END {
for(i in a){
printf(%7.0f\t%s\n, a[i], i);
}
}
' | sort -nr
You can join the lines into a single command line if you like, or toss
it as-is into a tiny shell script. Awk is forgiving about whitespace.
You should theoretically be able to feed the same regex to awk, but I've
found that awk's eregex support sometimes doesn't work as I'd expect.
Hope this helps.

For anyone who is interested, the sed construct that should do
this looks like:
sed 's/.*\([[ your regular expression ]]\).*/\1/'
The \1 tells sed to only print what matched and skip all the rest.
I am doing something wrong with the regular expression
that is supposed to recognise a MAC address. MAC addresses look
like 5 pairs of hex digits followed by :'s and then a 6TH pair
to end the string.
I have tried:
[[:xdigit:][:xdigit:][:punct:]
Sorry. It won't all fit on a line, but there should be a string
of 5 pairs and the : and then the 6TH pair followed by the
closing ] so the expression ends with ]]
One should also be able to put:
[[:xdigit:][:xdigit:][:punct:]]\{5,5\}[[:xdigit:][:xdigit]]
Any ideas as to what else I can try?
What happens is I get single characters per line that look like
the first or maybe the last character in that line, but
certainly nothing useful or nothing that remotely looks like a
MAC address.
Any ideas as to what's wrong with the regular
expression?
Many thanks.

Re: /etc/groups gone

Reinstalling ports will recreate the groups they use (though you could do most of it manually), and you may be on your own for any custom groups you have.

Luckily only a few groups (2-3) was created earlier. No backup, of course. I believe the file system is still correct, it uses group IDs instead of names (?). Though ls does not show the correct group names (only IDs) and creating new groups will reuse the old group IDs. Is there any better way of rebuilding /etc/groups than guessing and manually adding one-by-one. Can I somehow list all group IDs used by the file system? Many thanks.

I use kde every day, and I don't have a kdmrc file. You can start kde several ways. One way is to login as root and type kdm at the prompt. Another is to edit /etc/ttys the way the Handbook describes. (You can read that yourself.) Another way is to use an xinitrc file. (That's in the Handbook as well.)

How to use dig with an ip list
I know I'm missing the obvious. I want to use an IP list to generate an ip+hostname list. IOW, I want to go from this: x.x.x.x y.y.y.y to this; x.x.x.x foo.domain.tld y.y..y.y bar.domain.tld What's the best/easiest way to do this?

Paul Schmehl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/ dig(1) - see section `MULTIPLE QUERIES' note the -x flag to instruct dig to perform a reverse lookup see also host(1) That's not a great deal of help. I, of course, had read and re-read the man pages before posting the question here, and I'm quite familiar with the normal use of dig and host, because I use them daily in my work. The two options that man (1) dig provides are; on the commandline and in a file. I can easily generate a list of hostnames having constructed an iplist in a file and then preceding each line with dig +short -x IP using vi. But that gives me a list of hostnames only. What I'm looking for is the combination of the two. host (1), of course, doesn't even have *those* options, so it's of no use for accomplishing what I'm attempting. Again, I want to start with a list of IPs and end up with a list of IPs *plus* their hostnames (on the same line). I'm quite sure someone here has the experience and/or knowledge to do this using shell commands. I suspect awk might be helpful but haven't yet investigated that angle.
