mod_rewrite problem with tilde
I am migrating to a new server location which right now
has no domain name, so the ip address is being used.
The ISP gives an address for the apache directory like so;
http://184.154.230.2/~smartst2/
A simple redirect works, such as this one which directs to another
site;
Options +FollowSymLinks
rewriteEngine on
rewriteRule ^test\.html$ http://www.somesite.com/index.php [R=301,L]
but a redirect within the site does not work. I wonder if it has to
do with the tilde ~ character that the ISP has configured.
I presently have the following .htaccess;
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^[^/]*\.php$ /
RewriteRule ^[^/]*\.html$ index.php
Which does not work. If anyone is aware of problems using
mod_rewrite with the ~ character or could contribute any pointers
as to how I could gain more information on - for instance -where-
mod_rewrite is -attempting- to redirect (considering my above
.htaccess.

Re: problems with networking and route command
It is machines that connect and receive via DHCP 192.168.1.2 and above that can't connect to the internet though the server. I don't know a whole lot about route - I have been attempting a variation of route commands without success. You need to implement NAT on this box, since 192.168.0.0/16 is an RFC-1918 unrouteable private network range. I previously connected to the internet using ppp with the -nat option and now my connection has changed - so that makes sense. So I implemented natd. Unfortunately natd does not work as yet.

copying hard drives
I am interested in copying hard drives and would like some feedback. 1. I would like a way to take peoples windows -or- unix systems and store each on portable hard drive as a single file - so that in the end I have a large, say 2TB drive with a number of peoples operating system backed up - that can later be restored. One concern I have is that the file saved is under a certain generic standard - I don't want to be in a situation down the road where I need to restore, but the required software to restore is defunct. It would be nice to have the operating system on a stick - so I could boot into the program from a clients computer, connect a large drive, and backup their entire drive. 2. I'd like a simple way to copy - my FreeBSD system to another drive - a clone so to speak - which I know dd can do - but I wonder if there is a way to do this so that clone drive can be smaller that the original. My thinking here is that I need to experiment with changes but can't do it on a live system - hence the copy booted from a separate machine. ___ 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: forwarding ssh
Thanks for that Steven. Connecting this way is only a deviation from the usually connection we use. I have several users you have X-win32 configured on their laptops on the road. I was hoping to make this change invisible to each existing user and their setup since we will be going back to the previous direct X-Win32 ssh connection soon.

You don't need ports for thatJust use fetch(1) and grab an ISO of a DVD (or even a CD) from somewhere. Eg, a debian DVD image or freebsd image or whatever. A lot of ISPs boost the first x MB of a transfer to give the illusion that you can download faster when doing speed tests (since speed tests only transfer a small amount of data). Comcast's PowerBoost is a perfect example of this. So if you get something bigger, you can monitor the speed of the download and get your speed test that way. If you really want to be accurate, you can do the test several times using mirrors in various geographical areas as well to get a better overall idea of your available bandwidth. This method works for me - what about testing upload? I am guessing the best way might be to login into another server and fetch from my server? ___ 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: renaming many Chinese files
that worked fine. Thanks. Just a very quick thought (the first that pops into my mind): you could see which are the western characters that appear in the names, and then use sed to substitute all non-matching characters with nothing, something like: for i in *.jpg; do b=`echo $i | sed 's/[^CHAR_SET]//g'`; mv $i $b; done (without forgetting, obviously, to add . to the CHAR_SET, something like: [^a-zA-Z0-9.]; if you figure out a less clumsy way, please, share!!) I'm guessing that the initial 'P123' is just an example, or this will horribly backfire. But I'm really, REALLY, taking a shot in the dark here...

dns woes
I have had my dns server working fine in the past but now it seems
to be down and I can't locate the reason.
Here are some details;
# dig @127.0.0.1 mylocaldomain.com
works, but
# dig @ns1.3s1.com mylocaldomain.com
does not.
I have all IP addresses listed in named.conf;
listen-on {
192.168.1.1;
209.161.205.12;
127.0.0.1;
};
I also note that
$ telnet ns1.3s1.com 53
show port 53 as closed, while
$ telnet 127.0.0.1 53
shows it as open
The other strange thing is that I get the startup error;
zone 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA/IN: loading master file master/localhost.rev: file
not found
when in fact /etc/namedb/master/localhost.rev -does- exist.

Re: sed error unescaped newline inside substitute pattern
Don't you have control over this web form??? That's the place you should filter your input... The sooner you do the filtering the better. Anyway, you could also use an intermediate variable that replaces all newlines with spaces. # a=This is the input from the web server # b=`echo $a` # sed s/foo/$b/ foo This is the input from the web server ^D# I hope you won't go that route though... Nikos Yes - I have control of that - so I could filter out the problem in php. The only problem is that I don't know what I am filtering. If I know exactly what the erroneous characters are I could filter them - I have looked at the file in vi but the problematic characters are invisible there. ___ 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: acroread error with libgobject-2.0.so.0
A first one is simple but it may not give any guarantee that the situation will not appear in the future: install those ports by hand. I'll advice the second one. Write down all linux applications you use (i.e. print/acroread8, net/skype, etc.) -- not infrastructure linux ports (they should be installed as dependencies). Then pkg_delete those applications and linux*, unmount all linux filesystems, rm -rf /compat/linux/*.Then install linux applications and mount linux filesystems. HTH Attempting the first port failed - The entire FreeBSD installation was recently done - accomplished from an older 6.2 ISO - so I decided to do a portupgrade of linux-base. I was then able to install the missing ports you suggested, and -presto-, acroread is working fine.

space char shell script problem
I am running into a problem with the space character in filenames. For instance, If I want to run the script; for x in `ls` do echo $x done then filenames that have a space in them ie: john smith.jpg are processed by my script as two names, john and smith.jpg. What is the best way to deal with this type of space problem in the shell?

cvsup executed from crontab
I am using cvsup for backup, so I control both the client and the server. Works fine everytime stand-alone, but when I execute via crontab it appears to stall - then restart. Eventually there is so many copies of cvsup running at the same time it starts to bog down the client. I noticed in the man page there is the -d 0 or -1 option. Not sure if that will fix it - I just can't figure out why it works OK when executed manually as simply eg. cvsup supfile but stalls and starts anew when executed via crontab. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: suggestion on a backup utility
For backing up purposes, I use a number of tools. Thanks Frank for your input. I have chosen for now use Chuck's suggestion, that being cvsup.

suggestion on a backup utility
I wonder if anyone can recommend a good backup utility for FreeBSD. If it's in the ports, great. I would like to just specify which directories I would like to backup, how often and have it tar or zip the files into a directory - if it has off-site ftp, fine, but I can do that part myself via crontab. I realize I could just make a script file with some tar commands, but I'm looking for something that is quicker to maintain and allows me to organize what I'm backing up.

email pop3 question
I am using dovecot email on my server - Users can connect via IMAP or POP3.

command df just hangs
I first noticed that I was not able to access a windows box mounted using mount_smbfs. While checking the drive status with the 'df' command I noticed that the command just hangs.

Re: command df just hangs - answered
As it turns out, my windows box was already mounted. Since my windows firewall was turned on - df was hanging probably because it was trying to read info on the windows drive mounted, but couldn't.

question on DSL signal
I run a small FreeBSD server with a standard DSL line. I have it ping the ISP every five seconds, and when it doesn't ping it logs the results. I notice very inconsistent results. Sometimes it's up for a week without a single drop, while other times it's up for 30 seconds, down for a minute, up for 2 minutes, down for 1. That can go on for 10 hours, and then maybe it's stable again for a day or so. It's always appears to be the DSL signal itself, as I can see the modem sync light starts flashing when the signal goes down. To end any possibility of the phone company pointing their finger at the wiring in my house, I put the DSL modem right at the phone connection block where the line enters the house and then called them. Problem persists. The phone company say they have replaced lines all over the neighborhood while trying to fix the problem. Eventually the connection becomes stable, the phone company declares that they found the problem, but when he's gone, the trouble starts again. Now knowing how common this is, I installed the same logging system at another company's server, that is located a few miles away. Guess what? Same drop-in drop-out problem. To any average computer user, these lines might appear normal - when a page stops loading for a minute they just live with it, and forget about it. So here's my question: 1. is there anyone who has a lot of experience monitoring DSL lines that can tell me how common this is? 2. Is there any way to avoid it? 3. I have used three different DSL modems, but the are all home quality: an Alcatel Speed Touch, a Speedstream 5260, and a Westell Wirespeed. Would spending more money on another type of modem help? If so, what is recommended?

Re: question on DSL signal
Thanks Wojciech, for your thoughts. make sure you don't get a timeout because of high load or simply - the server you ping doesn't respond. Check that - it's not line problem but modem hardware problem or their routing problem. But isn't the sync going down a sign of a bad line connection? The ISP I used leases the lines from the telephone company, and when they hear sync is down they just call the phone company and tell them to solve it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: apsfilter setup problem
You should let apsfilter SETUP program to add the entry in printcap (you wrote that you added it yourself). It should be marked with something like: # APS1_BEGIN:printer1 # - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1 # - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL [...] # APS1_END - don't delete this I didn't post the whole thing - but it actually does have the apsfilter start and end entries. Apart from this, your printcap details seem good. However, the problem you described could be related to permissions. You run SETUP program as root, but you try to print as an ordinary user, I guess.

What version of gzip are you using? From www.gzip.org: gzip 1.2.4 may crash when an input file name is too long (over 1020 characters). not in my case. The buffer overflow may be exploited if gzip is run by a server such as an ftp server. Some ftp servers allow compression and decompression on the fly and are thus vulnerable. I'm not running it via ftp. This http://www.gzip.org/gzip-1.2.4b.patchpatch to gzip 1.2.4 fixes the problem. The beta version http://www.gzip.org/gzip-1.3.3.tar.gz1.3.3 already includes a sufficient patch; use this version if you have to handle files larger than 2 GB. Tried that version, but still I have the same problem. A new official version of gzip will be released soon.Also, check if you have compiled gzip with 64bit I/O. Check this gzip FAQ http://www.gzip.org/#faq10 too.HTH I used their suggestion for unzip; gunzip file.gz file which actually completes (siting a crc error), but gives a file size 2 bites greater than the original when unzipped. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: can't zip large files 2gb
Try the same operation on a known working system, take that output file and do a diff with that and the corrupt one after a 'strings', so 'strings new.gz new-text', 'strings corrupt.gz corrupt-text', 'diff new-text corrupt-text'. I'm just interested in how it's being corrupted and maybe the strings output will tell you something. I don't have a separate system, but I tried the strings output of the tar before compression and the strings output of the tar -after- compression and uncompression - as I mentioned the size output is only two bites difference. The result was that the memory was exhausted on attempting a diff of the two files, but there was around a 1 meg difference between the two 1.5G ascii files. Sorry if this was specified before, but did this just start happening or is this the first time you've tried to gzip large files on this system? first time I have tried files of this size - but I get the same problem no matter what compression utility I use; tried gzip, bzip2, rzip and compress. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: can't zip large files 2gb

OK. -r-xr-xr-x 30 root wheel 2046148 Nov 4 2004 /stand/gzip I would expect your gzip to be about the same 2M in size. Yes.

If that works then we have exonerated your hardware, but now all your software is suspect. I have upgraded my system to FreeBsd 4.9, the libc.so.5 in your case is libc.so.4 in my case but it looks like it has been rebuilt in the upgrade. I have downloaded and compiled the new 1.3.3 beta gzip from the gzip website, and built it with no difference in my problem resulting. I have uninstalled and re-installed bzip2 - also with the same eroneous results. What seems strange is that the failure is not a massive failure the gzipped and then gunzipped file is only 2 bites difference on a 3G file.

Re: can't zip large files 2gb
originally my problem was with a dedicated ide (on ide cable in machine) secondary mounted drive - 300G I tried it in /usr with same results. The disk type isn't really what I asked about. Is your /usr file system mounted from UFS (I haven't kept all the messages of the thread, so I don't remember from the df output; please excuse my short memory, if I'm repeating a question already answered). I was actually stabbing at the answer there - yes, both file systems tried are UFS, each are on separate drives, both have plenty of space and I have done an error free fsck on one of those drives, the other is mounted and running so I have not tried fsck. Here is a summary; original 3G tar file; untars fine gzip; corrupts bzip2; currupts compress; corrupts rzip; corrupts I realize this looks like it may be memory, but running top I notice that archivers use very little memory, between 1-10 meg while running, while they do keep the processor fairly busy working. There is one thing on my mind - I only have 512Meg in my machine. I installed another 512M to make it 1G and the machine crashed once per week; the new memory card is what I concluded was a problem. I took out the memory card concluding that is was the the new memory I installed and then deinstalled that was problematic. Just so were clear - all of my zip problems have been been running on my original, problem free 512M memory. Now I'm thinking of another possiblity - could it be that installing the -new- memory caused the machine to reorganize how the -old- memory was used - exposing a problem in the original memory that before the machine didn't use that often?

Re: can't zip large files 2gb
I haven't been paying 100% attention. Just how does it fail? What do you mean by corrupt? Does the process run to completion? All programs zip with no errors. On reading; root# bzip2 -t zippedfile.bz2 bzip2: 3s1.com-smartstage_ftp-full-20070502-0125AM.1b.tar.bz2: data integrity (CRC) error in data You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files. - gzip also sites a crc error - can't remember rzip's error, (it does output an error.) - uncompress goes without echoing error but tar expanded is not able to be untarred. Are the output zip files reasonable in size? The zipped file size seems reasonable in each case. Are the expanded files reasonable in size? expanding will not complete, except uncompress, which expands the file to the original size, plus 6 bites, then the tar file expanded is unreadable. If so where does the mismatch start? on expanding, it seems the error happens near or at the end of the expanding process before halting and exiting with error, that is if I attempt to read the file with tar -tzf filename.tgz in gzip's case or tar -tyf filename.bz2 in bzip2's case. Is the problem always in the same place for the same input file? Pretty much, but I can't say if it is exactly the same in each case.

Re: can't zip large files 2gb
Maybe a file or library that all zip programs depend on that is corrupt? Your system is not too old, there were plenty of big files around when 4.11 was released.

I tried your disk idea. I unmounted the volume I was using and did an fsck with no errors. Then I gzip'ped a new set of files on another drive, and got the same error. I recompiled gzip from source also. Also you don't say if the files are local, if you are transmitting the files make certain they are not being sent in ascii format, ftp for instance.

For mail-only users with-out a shell, what is the best way to direct mail to them in Maildir format within ~/Maildir - maybe directly from .forward?

It was the permissions on the users home directory that caused me grief. On the use of mdir, I am not yet a veteran user but so far I like it. It seems fast. I really like having each file separate, since I am backing up the users mail; with mdir I can backup only the new email which saves a lot of time on backup. I am sold on imap P as a mail delivery process. I was using imap-uw but it was not possible to create subdirectories with mail clients. Two webmail clients, squirrelmail, and round-cube are both excellent for imap use. For mbox to mdir conversion, I used mb2md which kept the original file date in tact - (better than mbox2mdir in the ports) I used the page http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/mb2md/ for reference which provides some good examples to automatically setup directories and convert mailboxes.

help on picking an IMAP server

I tried dovecot but I was unable to get it to create subfolders, although it seems some say you can, may people are having problems doing so, and I didn't like the fact that it changes the format of the folders from the mbox standard. So I tried cyrus-imap. It did allow me to create subfolders. Cyrus however seems like it is a system-wide program. Where with imap-uw and dovecot I could still keep my old non-imap mailboxes in tact cyrus wants seemingly to control everything, doing away with /var/mail and setting up it's own email format.

question on smtp AUTH
I am still pouring over logs to check how my server has been spamming. I am wondering about the possibility of someone using a working login and password to send spam through my server. So here is my question; I look at my maillog and see the following spam; maillog.0:Jan 11 02:14:17 3s1 sm-mta[3540]: l0B7EGO6003540: from=[EMAIL PROTECTED], size=478, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=200701110714.l0B7 [EMAIL PROTECTED], proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=3s1.com [209.161.205.12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist as a user on my system, but the relay is mine (3s1.com), and 209.161.205.12 is mine. How can I find out or log when a user sends mail, what authentication was used? If they have to login to send through my server, who did they login as? - how would I find that out? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: question on smtp AUTH
That would seem to suggest that the spam is being sent using an authorized account, however, is it possible that a host inside your network is sending the spam? Thanks for that test Paul. I do believe that it could have been a virus infected windows box. I am not convinced now. I -do- know that I have had crackers attempting access via SSH and I did not have anything to stop them from trying every possible configuration. Eventually they may have gotten a usable login and password. I now have them blocked after 5 failed attempts but still there could be someone spamming using the login and password obtained previously. Before getting -everyone- to change thier password I am wondering if there isn't a way to log who is sending via what login authentication. I could then just setup a new password for that user only. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: stopping my server from spamming
This is more of a question geared towards your mail server application than FreeBSD. You should check your mail logs. If you want better advise, you may want to provide more information on what mail server are you running, and what did you do to prevent SMTP relay. I am using sendmail. It will not allow open relaying. What I would like to know is how I can separate legitimate emails in the log from spam. All that appears is the from: email and the to:email. In the past I have seen separate SMTP servers installed by viruses on windows boxes which are spamming away -independent- of sendmail. I have blocked port 25 from all my connected windows boxes, but will that take care of it? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: stopping my server from spamming
I think I located the problem. I discovered through one of the blacklist hosters when exactly they received the spam and that helped me track it to a virus infected windows box. Using nmap / tcpdump / snort to find rogue SMTP hosts is the next step I would pursue. Remember though, your hosts may not be causing the spam and it could instead be spoofing of some kind. For that, you can't do anything except talk to the mail providers that blacklisted your domain and get things cleared up. These utilities where the direction of what I was looking for. Thanks for that - I will look at the use of each and how I can trace what is going on for future reference. Ultimately, I suggest switching to entirely AUTH based SMTP though to prevent this issue from occurring. You can either block port 25 from being routed or use net/smtptrapd (see http://smtptrapd.inodes.org/). done.

stopping my server from spamming
I have been blacklisted for spamming and I am attempting to ascertain the source. I have a few networked windows boxes which route through a FBSD server. I also have around ten off-site users who sendmail via port 26 - using smtp password authentication. How do I determine which email going through the server is spam, and therefore identify the source? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
