6.1_RELEASE / mergemaster error

2006-05-10 Thread Bryan Curl
I humbly apologize if this is a repost. Googles Gmail has been very 
unpredictable lately, so in frustration I am resending this from my ol' 
faithful ISP mailbox since last nights post never seemed to make it to 
the list.


I am upgrading from 6.1_RC (something like that) to 6.1_RELEASE using 
CVSUp &  RELENG_6.1 tag
After make installworld I ran the final run through of mergemaster and 
received this error:


ERROR CODE 64
FATAL ERROR: Cannot 'dc' into /usr/src/etc/ and install files to the 
temproot environment.


Cant say how far it got before this error but it looked like it was 
going along pretty good.
Upon reboot there were at least one system files missing, like hosts. 
I'm not sure if other files failed to copy on as well.
I was in single user mode and did the fsck and mounts as described in 
the manual. I chmod 777 on that directory but that did not help.


Also noticed samba did not start from rc.conf although it loads and runs 
from the prompt. But these may or may not  be a symptom of the error.


Should I be concerned about this? How I fix and move on?

Fwd: Upgrading to 6.1 (cvsup)

I found this tutorial very helpfull on my first upgrade.

http://www.taosecurity.com/keeping_freebsd_applications_up-to-date.html

But I must warn you that this process can take hours-days to complete after
compiling the entire system from source code and installing, depending of
course on how big your setup is and how fast your box is.

On the other hand, a two hour download and a week of configuring can be just
as grueling.

Your choice.

confusing, which is why i'm resorting to posts.

Re: GUI mail client recommendations ...

2006-05-08 Thread Bryan Curl

If that just fixes From in the header Im not sure that is entirely my
problem.
Since my bounces seem to be related to my localhost domain name, I wonder
about a setting like described here from sendmail's manual.

You can have your host masquerade as another using
MASQUERADE_AS(`host.domain')

This causes mail being sent to be labeled as coming from the indicated
host.domain, rather than $j. One normally masquerades as one of one's own
subdomains (for example, it's unlikely that Berkeley would choose to
masquerade as an MIT site). This behaviour is modified by a plethora of
FEATUREs <http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html>; in particular, see
masquerade_envelope<http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#masquerade_envelope>,
allmasquerade <http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#allmasquerade>,
limited_masquerade<http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#limited_masquerade>,
and 
masquerade_entire_domain<http://www.sendmail.org/m4/features.html#masquerade_entire_domain>
.

sometimes i use mutt, this is the part in my .muttrc to get the

set sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -oi -oem"

Re: GUI mail client recommendations ...

2006-05-08 Thread Bryan Curl

Ok I'll bite.
I installed fetchmail and fairly quickly had it retreiving mail into system.
I installed mutt and spent 2 hours looking at man and muttrc. Wow.
What I dont get is how mutt replies to mail I retrived from '
mywork.mailserver.com'.
I have to use '' to send the mail. I think I do it like this.

mutt sends mail as usual. Then,
fetchmail -S smtp.myispmailserver.net

The mail bounces from myispmailserver.net with an error like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (my private domain) is urecognized domain. (exact message
escapes me at this time)

The question is how do I tell mutt to send all mail out through '
smtp.myispmailserver.net'?
Or maybe I need to configure sendmail or fetchmail differntly?

Can someone point me to some sample configs or human readable help
information?

Thanks

Re: ipfirewall tricks

2006-05-05 Thread Bryan Curl

On second look PF has some definite improvements over IPFilter.
My rule set file is half as long for one thing. I like the macros and
tables.

I'm still reading throught he documentation, but, I have not figured out why
the log doesnt seem to be working yet. I have all the required entries in
rc.conf.

pf_enable="YES" # Enable PF (load module if required)
pf_rules="/etc/pf.conf" # rules definition file for pf
pf_flags="" # additional flags for pfctl startup
pflog_enable="YES"  # start pflogd(8)
pflog_logfile="/var/log/pflog"  # where pflogd should store the logfile
pflog_flags=""  # additional flags for pflogd startup

Handbook at http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/. seems to  indicate I need a
device named pflog0 which I do not have. Also pflogd does not start on boot
even tough it is listed in rc.conf. Perhaps the start up script did not get
installed into the correct location. My installatin was from the 6.0 release
ISO. so I would naturally assume it is correct.

Thanks for the reminder of this program. I think I will like it better than
the others for my purposes and administrative skill level.

I would use pf and have something like this:

pf.conf

block out all from  to any


crontab

pfctl -t kids -T add kids.ip.to.block
pfctl -t kids -T del kids.ip.to.allow


You can also keep the IPs in a flat file and just tell pf to re-read
the file (or read a different file) to update the table.

I love pf.

Re: Clamav Install failed

2006-05-02 Thread Bryan Curl

RESOLVED:
None of these were a problem, so I opened the firewall and all is well.
In spite of the following ipf rules it would not go:

pass out quick on dc0 proto tcp from any to any port = 21 flags S keep state
pass out quick on dc0 proto tcp from any to any port = 22 flags S keep state

Do I need matching pass in rules for ports 21 and 22?

There's your error: "Network is unreachable."
Can this system download files flom ftp.FreeBSD.org?
Is your ports tree updated?
Can you locate that file, fetch it manually, put it in
/usr/ports/distfiles, and try again?

ipfirewall tricks

2006-05-02 Thread Bryan Curl

I want to limit time my kids spend on the internet.
The way I am doing it is to make varying, seperate ipf.rules files and
install them from cron at the appropriate time.
Problem is, if I make a change to one file, I generally have to update all
the others accordingly.

Is there a better way? I have read man ipf but didnt come out with any
ideas.

Re: Clamav Install failed

2006-05-02 Thread Bryan Curl

I thought it might be related to the fact that 6.1 is so new.
I pressumed that if some of the files were there for 6.1 all of them would
be.
I think I will wait until it is up to snuff. Compiling raw unported C is not
my strong suit.

Thanks for the tip!

Hello,

None of these adapters are familiar to me.

Will Linksys, Netgear, or Dlink pci wireless adaptors work with one of these

Check your FreeBSD box firewall. Rules depend on which one you might be

Check Firwalls of other pc's.
Also, if you run a VPN client  on other windows boxes. The vpn

Writing a file to the drive the other day it coredumped.
So I pulled the drive and booted to an old WIn98 foppy and partitioned and
formatted the drive just to start from scratch, no problems indicated in
that process.
Then I CVSUPed to RELENG_6_1. No problems upgrading at all.
I reinstalled the drive with a different cable and put it on the secondary
slave position, and fdisk and labeled per sysinstall, full use, no MBR
changes.
I tried different bios settings like auto recognition, user defined, with
LBA, Normal and Large Modes. No change.

fsck /dev/ad3s1d looks good this time but same dmesg errors exists on boot.
This an older Maxtor 72004 AP 2Gig

Could be time for trashcan to take ownership.
Any more ideas?

I poked around the FreeBSD web site and can't seem to find where you
guys are getting the latest release information.
I know if it was a snakeyip




Did you poke around the handbook where it says if your running current
you need to be subscribed to the current mailing list?

Ah, you are keenly perceptive, and alas, you have exposed my
simi-newbieness.
Yes, 'The Cutting Edge'. Good read. Perhaps The Bleeding Edge would 
be a

better title.
However, I think my immediate question is answered already.  RELENG_6_1
I thank you all. My system now boots successfully and reads FreeBSD
6.1-RC #1 .
If that makes me "current" then I better go subscribe, eh?
If upgrading fixes my original disk drive problem then, viola, a bonus!




If your a newbie the current mailing list will be over your head. You
don't need to do it anyways because your not running -CURRENT aka
HEAD... it's only for FreeBSD developers.

Well I have been running FreeBSD box for several years now but never 
CVSUPed one until last week. I always used the ISO release cds that was 
that. So I am a brave soul and learning quit a bit too. Its all good.

Thanks Dan,
I appreciate you answering me so soon.
My  upgrade from RELENG_6_0 went without a hitch.
So I'm off to makeworld land. Hopefully I'll be back in few days.
Looks like I have slave hard drive failing as well ...so fun fun.



My pleasure.  As for the failing HDD, I went through the very same thing
last week with one of the data disks on my home file/mail server.  Lost
loads of mail (about three years' worth), and all sorts of other stuff.
I am never buying another IBM DeathStar!  You would not believe how fast
the damn thing went sour...

Anyways, best of luck saving your data!
  
Dan


  
Fortunately there was no data on it yet since I just got the server up 
to 6.0.


But back to the topic, it looks like I jumped the gun on the PRERELEASE 
update here. I have already CVSUPed the sources and ran 'make 
buildworld' and 'make buildkernel'. I have not installed anything yet. 
Once everybody settles on what the new tag for 6.1 will be, can I just 
re-run 'make buildworld' and 'make buildkernel' and go from there???

6.1-PRERELEASE CVSUP tag=???

2006-04-11 Thread Bryan Curl

What is the cvsup tag for getting  6.1-PRERELEASE src?

I think it should be tag=RELENG_6_1 .

Can I use src-all for this revision to upgrade from where I am now?

Right now I am:   ...  6.0-RELEASE-p6 #0: Tue Apr  4 09:43:53 MDT

This is the primary slave drive. Primary master is the
boot drive where OS lives. The master is cabled on the
end connector and the slave is connected to the middle
connector on the cable.

The supplied documentation on the drive jumpers is
vague at best. It only makes mention of one jumper
(master or slave positions) There are 3 other jumpers
on the drive that are not mentioned.

Looks to me like DMA feature isn't working but I dont
know if this is activated by a jumper or by firmware
somehow.

I have seen this error on every FreeBSD installation I
have ever had. To my knowledge, it never seemed to
bother anything. I just hate watching errors scroll by.

Drive errors on boot

2006-04-10 Thread Bryan Curl
My apologies if this is a repost. It seems either I
had a gmail problem or list never posted the question.
I have subscribed with another address to monitor
problem.

Anyway, here is my quesion again.

I get the following errors from dmesg on one of my ide
drives on boot.
Other similar drives dont error and are setup the same
in bios (except cylinder & block config of course)
System and this drive seem to work fine otherwise. I
re-fdisk this one but it still does this error.

Cvsup & installworld process question

2006-04-04 Thread Bryan Curl
Hopefully this is right place for my question and not to redundant.

I have a new minimalist installation for use as a file server only (FreeBSD
6.0-RELEASE) with a very small set of ports installed. Basically Samba,
Cvsup,man files, ports, all the source and their dependencies. I am
primarily interested in keeping the system up to date with security patches,
system updates, and of course, the ports I run. I want to optimize the
amount of disk space for the public shares so I don't want to arbitrarily
install a lot of programs I don't need.

My question is,
1.) If I CVSUP SRC-ALL,  'make buildworld', 'make installworld' etc, will
that install the entire source tree to my machine and eat up disk space
unnecessarily? In other words do I need to weed out all but the basic
components I want before make installworld?
2.) What branches of the source tree would I  be required to keep up to date
for my minimal installation?

I realized in testing on an older system that portupgrade will only install
ports I am using but don't know if make installworld will do the same.
