Thirdly consider making the flow a one way street: using things like a PGP email with just the public key on the web server; i.e. shunt any private information into an encrypted email - send it to your systems in-house; and only have the decryption key behind the firewall; and thus only keeping the bare essentials on your server.

Re: apache permission problem please help
Apache (propably) runs as the 'www' user and group. So each file (and path) needs to be readable by - the www group OR the www users must be a member of the group of the diretory OR the world And each directory needs the 'x' access flag set. See the man pages for chmod, chown and chgrp for more details Example: drwxr-xr-x 10 dirkx staff512 Nov 12 2003 swad -rw-r--r-- 1 dirkx staff 711332 Sep 24 2003 tabellenWADI.pdf Can be seen by www (world readable and directory has x) drwxr-x-- 10 dirkx staff512 Nov 12 2003 swad -rw-r 1 dirkx staff 711332 Sep 24 2003 tabellenWADI.pdf Cannot be seen by www UNLESS www is a member of 'staff' (i.e. www is in the staff line in /etc/group). drwx 10 dirkx staff512 Nov 12 2003 swad -rw- 1 dirkx staff 711332 Sep 24 2003 tabellenWADI.pdf Can never be seen by the web server as it runs as 'www'. Note that the web server needs to traverse the entire path; so for a file ro dir /home/dirkx/public_html/index.html check: / /home /home/dirkx /home/dirkx/pulic_html for an x in world/other or the right group and the file /home/dirkx/public_html/index.html for read.

add 'if [ x${interface} = xwi0 ]; then' ..'fi'

There is also the line about ssl cache i have do some googleing but have not been able to come up with anything that helps. The trouble you are having is not with the SSLCache (which you should enable regardless, but for different reasons). If you already do rand_irqs's in your rc.conf and you safe/load the entropy over boot time; then that is about the best you can do in assuring there is 'real' entropy in the /dev/random sort of getting into special kernels and/or hardware. So next step is to read the comments in the section 'Pseudo Random Number Generator' and the mod_ssl manual and deceide if in -your- case you can get away with less randomness. In some specific cases you can. What is puzzling is that, assuming that the log file you are showing us is complete, is that you are -not- getting the fatal error Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA private key.

The modification to the apache2.sh script I sent you last time sould force that script to always run 'apachectl startssl' itself, so that shouldn't be the problem. Hmmm... I think that perhaps the problem arises from when the apache2.sh script is run. I'm guessing that the 'Seeding PRNG' line is significant -- it aparently means that there is no random data yet available from /dev/random at the point when apache is started up in the boot sequence. As you're running 4.9, that can be cured by telling the system to use some appropriate IRQs as sources of randomness. First run: % vmstat -i and look for the IRQs where there are a lot of interrupts generated. Not the 'clk' or 'rtc' interrupts, as those are clock ticks, firing at regular intervals, which is worse than useless as a source of randomness. I find that irq12 (psm0 -- the mouse), irq1 (atkbd0 -- the keyboard), irq11 (mux -- multiplex: but this is network activity mostly) and irq15 (mux -- multiplex again, but disk activity mostly) work well for me, but you will have to choose 2 or 3 or 4 suitable IRQs on your own system to harvest for randomness. Then add them to /etc/rc.conf rand_irqs=1 11 12 15 Then reboot. (See rndcontrol(8) for more details) With luck, and a following wind, there will be sufficient system activity during startup that there will be sufficient random data available to prime the PRNG used by OpenSSL, which should let apache start up automatically.

Re: Is Java/Tomcat on FBSD practical?
My biggest problem has been Java. I've done the diablo 1.3 package and java seemed to work (java -v), but when I install Tomcat it won't start. I've done the same install on mac and windows with no problem. The stack trace is completely alien to me and I can try to get it if it would help. If the stacktrace looks like it is some VM issue - posting it here may help - otherwise the tomcat folks may be a better bet. One quick test - try running it as root and see if that changes anything - some JDK version had that problem - which since is fixed if I recall correctly. I'm basically wondering if running Tomcat or any other java on this machine is realistic or not.

Re: FBSD firewall in front of windows IIS servers HOW

INTERNETFBSD FIREWALLWINDOWS IIS SERVER Basically what would be the best way to have freebsd accept incoming connections, run them thru the firewall, and all the packets that pass forward them to internal windows machines. I dont' want the windows boxen directly on the net, I want to put a FBSD firewall in front of them, and so far the best option I've found on how to do this is to have the windows boxen be 192.168.x.x and have the fbsd boxen forward all connections to public_ip to the windows box via natd. Does this seem like a good plan? Or anyone know of another better way to do this? Thought hat is a good way of doing things; I would strongly recommend, if IIS is the only service, to do this differently and not do anything on packet level but on app level: internetpublicIP [ FreeBSD ]--private IP-- IIS apache proxy I.e: not run any NAT, routing etc; but simply use apache configured as a pass through proxy: VirtualHost OUTSIDEIP:80 ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.2/ ProxyPassReverse/ http://192.168.1.2/ /VirtualHost As this will allow apache to guard against bogus headers, buffer overuns and the usal fun and games. See directives like: LimitRequestBody LimitRequestFields LimitRequestFieldsize LimitRequestLine Though they are sensible set; if oyu use a lot of ASP/VB-script you may want to reduce a few. This will also speed up your installation considerbaly if you have a lot of slow modem users or high packet drop.

Re: Apache
you have to recompile apache. mod_ssl comes with eapi (enhanced api) and the standard apache modules have to be aware of it. You want to just use 'ports' for this - there is a ssl module port which does all the right things. Compile and install this -before- you do PHP or mod_perl; as the latter need the right (EAPI extended) header files.

Another option is that you get your first lease before the firewill is fully set up; but that you cannot negotiate a lease after the firewall is there due to it blocking the negotiation process.

Re: Water Damage
I have carefully dried out all the units. You may want to use some distilled water, or very clean water, if there is any visible residue/chalk/salt on the boards. What I normally do with WiFi equipment which got wet/soaked is to rinse them well with very clean water and then dry them in an oven with the door open or with a hair dryer. This works well. Note that water may collect in places like coils and under IC's and inside drives. If it was salt water then *immediately* rinse them with fresh water or demineralized water to stop corrosion (and keep them wet until you can do so). Though with salt water if the machine was on you are often too late. My experience is that also normal tap water has enough conductivty to ruin a machine when it is switched on before it is 100% dry everywhere. The high voltage power supply is in my experience the first thing to give. Dw To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
