BSDCert survey
Hi everyone, This isn't a question about FreeBSD, but about what the FreeBSD community thinks about BSD certification and the most affordable method for delivering the upcoming BSDA certification exam. The BSD Certification Group is hosting a short survey which is available in English, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian and Polish (the Mexican Spanish version should be available sometime next week). The press releases and links for each language are available here: http://www.bsdcertification.org/index.php?NAV=NewsItem=pr031 Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and feel free to forward the press release to any forums which haven't published it thus far. If you have any questions regarding the upcoming BSDA, email me off list or subscribe to bsdcert@lists.nycbug.org . Cheers, Dru ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
any backup utilities for ACLs?
I've enabled ACL support on a 5.4-RELEASE system and have no problems creating and modifying ACLs. However, I can't seem to find a backup program that will actually restore the ACLs. I've tried bsdtar, pax, and star. Has anyone had any success in backing up and restoring ACLs? If so, what was the magic incantation?

First you should note that there are two ways of using cp(1).
The first one is of teh form 'cp src-file dst-file' and the second one
is of the form 'cp src-file1 src-file2 src-file3 ... dstdir'
So if you don't want the dest-file to have the same name as the source,
you must invoke cp(1) once for each file.
You will have to use some kind of loop to do this. A for loop iterating
over the output of find(1) would seem to be better suited for this
problem than a while loop.
Well, I played some more and piping to cpio did the trick. I couldn't do
it in one go as pass mode doesn't support the interactively rename switch,
but a temporary copy out followed by an interactive copy in worked.
I then tried pax -rwi which was even more efficient as it let me rename
while find was creating the list.

Doing the renaming interactively sounds a bit cumbersome if there are
many files.
The following for-loop ought to do the trick nicely and doesn't require
any interactive actions:
(Assuming you have want to name the destination files as your examples
above indicate, and also assuming you want to copy the files to the
current directory.)
for i in `find /usr/ports -name configure -print`
do
cp $i ./`echo $i | sed 's:/:=:g'`
done
You could either put that in a shell-script or type it in directly at
the commandline. It works with both /bin/sh and zsh, and ought to work
with bash and ksh as well.
The above for-loop is actually a bit inefficient since it doesn't
start to do any copying until after find has found all the files to be
copied, and this can also give a very long command-line after the
expansion of find's output which might cause trouble.
An better alternative is to do the copying as find(1) goes down the
tree with something like the following one-liner:
find /usr/ports -name configure -exec sh -c 'cp {} `echo {} | sed s:/:=:g`' \;
Thanks. This one and Peder's accomplish the exact same thing :-)

KDE3
Okay, who can help an unhappy camper with their KDE3 on 5-1 Release? After 2 days of unsuccessful portupgrading from KDE2 to KDE3, I decided to go the packages route. About that time, I discovered the upgrade FAQ for FreeBSD/KDE which said to get rid of all KDE2 and qt2 cruft. I did. I then installed the kdebase and dependency packages from fruitsalad.org. When that didn't work, I figured, heh, I have too many ports installed anyways. Time for a clean sweep. I uninstalled everything (except pine and fetchmail and lynx and XFree86-4). Installed kdebase, kdelibs and necessary dependencies, all as packages. When I startx, I start with this error: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. That one seems to be popular according to Google, but no solutions yet. So, I commented out that section in /usr/local/bin/kdeinit. Now I'm back to the same error message I was at three days ago: ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 Can't blame it on an old dependency anymore, since I uninstalled pretty near everything.

If you want to use the machine in question as your main scanner, you can make a rule which allows _outgoing_ UDP to other hosts so you can run nmap. If you're security stance is more paranoid than that, make it a temporary rule that you only use when running nmap. On the other hand, if you only have one machine and just want to know which UDP ports are open on it, netstat -an or sockstat -46 are much better options than nmap, which is designed for remote scanning. I'm sure you're already aware of that, just mentioned it for the benefit of others who may be following the thread.

port to convert comma delimited file
Hello, I have a comma delimited file with approximately 7000 rows and 5 columns. I have absolutely no database skills and and almost as much HTML skill, yet I need to convert this file into an HTML table. Is there something in the ports collection that will do this for me, a sort of converter for dummies? Barring that, is there any port that will do this, hopefully with docs so I can learn as I go?

Hi all,
Wasn't sure where I should ask for help with this problem, so I'm starting
here. If there's a more appropriate place, please let me know.
I have a FreeBSD box running -STABLE which has had IPSec working with other
hosts for quite some time without a problem. I've just setup another
FreeBSD box running 5.0-RC1 and am trying to establish a VPN tunnel but am
not getting too far. I'm using racoon and when attempting the negotiation
with debugging enabled, the following message appears:
2003-01-20 12:00:23: ERROR: pfkey.c:207:pfkey_handler(): pfkey ADD failed:
Invalid argument
and the following message is logged via syslog:
Jan 20 12:00:23 atlas kernel: key_mature: invalid AH key length 160 (128-128
allowed)
The relevant section of racoon.conf which is identical on both boxes is:
sainfo anonymous
{
pfs_group 1;
lifetime time 86400 sec;
encryption_algorithm 3des ;
authentication_algorithm hmac_sha1 ;
compression_algorithm deflate ;
}
The box running -STABLE has been working fine with this configuration so I'm
assuming the problem is with the box running 5.0-RC1. Interestingly, I've
also tried using des as the encryption algorithm and hmac_md5 as the
authentication algorithm and I receive the following error message:
racoon: failed to parse configuration file.
If anyone has any suggestions for a fix, or how I go about further
diagnosing this problem, I'd love to hear from you.
What's the result of setkey -PD on both boxes?
Sanitize the addresses of the public IPs, but leave the private IPs as is.

Re: VPN Newbie has a silly question

The other machine (also FreeBSD, call it HOME), is on a dynamic IP, but with the dns name served thru Zoneedit.com - so anytime the IP changes, there's maybe an hour or two of lag time while the auto update scripts get the dns back on track. What I want to do is initiate a VPN connection from WORK to HOME, and here's where I show my VPN ignorance, connect thru that VPN connection from HOME to WORK. Basically I want to work from home on a secure connection rather than just getting my work machine to pop a terminal up on the home display over an insecure connection. I suspect this won't work this way, but I figure what the hell. The worst that can happen is someone tells me I'm a dope and it don't work that way. So will it, or not? It should be doable. You may have less hair than you started out with and learn more than you ever cared to about IPSec on the way to getting it to work, but it should work. Now, is this Cisco deal a concentrator, a PIX, or a router? (it makes a difference) Do you have the flexibility of getting its admin to create the necessary IPSec policy and access lists to allow you through? Is your new IP address always within the same network range?

Re: IPsec on a NAT gateway

One of the machines behind this firewall is an OS X iBook running through a WEP-enabled Airport base station in bridged mode (i.e. it only bridges the wireless and the ethernet). WEP has known problems, and I'd like to secure the link between the iBook and the FreeBSD firewall against snooping or malicious neighbors, etc. I think that IPsec is the closest thing to an answer, however after much digging through setkey man pages, the FreeBSD handbook, and other HOWTO web pages nothing clearly describes this configuration. This is not really IPSec transport mode, because it's only secure between host and gateway not host and host, and it's not tunnel mode because I'm not joining two LANs. Has anyone done this? The configuration you describe is still considered tunnel mode, even though it looks part transport / part tunnel mode. Tunnel mode occurs whenever a gateway encrypts on behalf of a network. Typical tunnels have gateways at both ends, however it is possible to have a gateway at one end and a single machine at the other.

Of course :) If you're using the C shell/tcsh shell, edit
/usr/share/skel/dot.cshrc so it reflects your favourite prompt. For

By using the setkey -D command, on my side the peer seems connected while on the other direction no connection has been established. Pinging the other side is not possible from my point. If the other peer (currently a CISCO 3662 ROUTER) pings my ip then the VPN connection is instantly established and the whole VPN is up-and-running giving me the ability now to ping the other peer. How can I avoid waiting for a human on the other size to ping me and have the vpn successfully connect without human intervention? This is the default behaviour if you don't make a dynamic crypto map on the Cisco side. If you use a regular crypto map, only the Cisco can initiate the connection as the permit rule requires inbound packets to be encrypted. This means that if the peer (in your case, racoon) initiates Phase 1 negotiations, that clear text packet will be discarded by the Cisco, so that peer can never successfully start the negotiations.
