Re: How to achieve E-Mail Notification on root login?
Robert Huff roberth...@rcn.com writes: Polytropon writes: given there is a FreeBSD system with users in the wheel group, what is the best practise to send out a notification via E-Mail if one of them becomes root via su? In an ideal case the E-Mail would contain the user name and the time. I'm not sure if there already is a solution (provided in the base system) that offers this functionality, but the fact of a user having used su to su root is logged by the system. The line is appended to /var/log/messages: Feb 12 14:40:57 r56 su: poly to root on /dev/pts/2 The information you want is in there, and you could either use the whole line, or apply some sed, awk or even perl to form a message with less information (only date and user). A scripted solution could monitor /var/log/messages for changes and use the system's builtin mailer to deliver the message. Tools like tail -f, grep and | mail could be involved. It should be quite trivial to implement this and add a custom rc.d-style script (or even few lines in ye olde /etc/rc.local). Take a look at the -p option of split. The bigger question is how quickly do you need to know - instantly? once an hour? once a day? Robert Huff I don't think anything other than instantly makes sense. If it would be a batch thing sent once an hour/day/whatever then an attacker could simply prevent the mail being sent, and/or remove her entry from the log. Furthermore, one should realize that any setup would only be guaranteed to report the first breach/login. In other words: after the first notice that someone logged in as root you can no longer trust that you will get further notices (assuming that the emails safely arrive once they have actually left the system in the first place). Unless you can somehow verify that your notification system/setup was untouched by the person who logged in (e.g. since you were the one that actually logged in as root).

Synchronising jails
Hey Everyone, I'm looking for a way to synchronise two jails. More specifically, I would like to keep/maintain an exact copy of a given jail. As an example: Suppose I build a jail A on some system (in my particular case build with ezjail) , and I copy the jail into jail B on some other system (using tar, as is mentioned here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=17813). Now stuff happens in Jail A, e.g. files change, new stuff is installed etc. I would like to propagate these changes to jail B, but since the transfer is over WAN I would like not to have to copy the entire jail again, just the stuff that has changed since the last backup. It is safe to assume nothing in Jail B changes: I basically want to maintain the exact copy so if something would happen to the system running Jail A I can immediately switch to jail B without much hassle. Normally I would say this a perfect use case for rsync. But as the aforementioned thread mentions ``scp or similar wont work to copy a jail'', and I consider rsync similar to scp, I am under the impression that rsync would not be usable in this situation. Can anyone shed some light on this, or suggest an alternative to synchronise the jails?

NO_PROFILE versus WITHOUT_PROFILING
When I was setting up my system for a complete rebuild I came across something unclear to me; I always used NO_PROFILE in my make.conf, however from what I've read specific make options to build the kernel/base system should be in /etc/src.config. The manpage of src.conf specifies the option WITHOUT_PROFILING, which seemed to be the flag that I was looking for. Just to be certain I always keep the 'Rebuilding World' chapter of the handbook close, however that still specifies to use NO_PROFILE in make.conf. So now my question: What is the desired way of turning of profiling: NO_PROFILE in make.conf or WITHOUT_PROFILING in src.conf ?

Grant Peel wrote: Wow, After a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.4, (with Xorg) I tried installing Gnome, and I get a stop during build, Filesystem Full! Is Gname really that big? or did I miss doing something? Well it is big, but since you are installing from a clean system all the gnome dependencies will also have to install their dependencies and so on. So basically you have to install a *lot* of ports which may take quite some space/time if you do not clean up nicely. Use 'make install clean' or 'make install distclean' to install your ports (if you didn't allready) that will order the make process to remove the files it uses during it's build (and distclean also cleans the downloaded distfiles in the distfiles dir ) Doing a du -h -d1 on /usr shows ... 7.0G ports. 1.8G local Check inside ports what is taking up the most space, most likely your distfiles dir is huge as well as the build directories inside a lot of ports itself. You can manually remove the distfiles for ports you allready installed from /usr/ports/distfiles. If that does not help enough also remove some of the work directories for the ports you installed allready but are not cleaned by make yet and resume your build. (so if for example you see gnome-session is allready installed ( pkg_info -Ex gnome ) remove /usr/ports/x11/gnome-session/work/ ) Regards, -- - Frank ___ 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
Off-topic: Java Reflection/Generics/Collections question
Not realy a FreeBSD-specific question but I was not sure where I could find what I was looking for elseware (Googling did not manage to dig up much info): The problem: I want to set the type of objects some Collection object holds on runtime. In other wors I have an object C with: C extends AbstractCollection, I have the Class object T specifying what type of objects C should hold and I have a method M which takes a CT as an argument. I made a generic version of C (without the type) and now I have to set it so it can only carry objects of type T. Does anyone know how to do this ? Information in programming style: C extends AbstractCollection myCollection; Class itemType; public void myMethod(CitemType myCollectionArgument) How do I convert myCollection from being a C to a CitemType on runtime so I can call myMethod(myCollection) ?

I have never configured X windows and not sure how long it could take with FreeBSD (actually I mean things like Gnome or KDE). Depends on your needs. If you are planning on running an other WM/DE than KDE (Or at least I thought PCBSD came with KDE by default ) and you are familliar with the ports system you are better off choosing FreeBSD. Setting up X is a piece of cake nowadays. In most cases Xorg wil generate it's own configfile at start and you don't realy have to worry about it. If something doesn't work or you want to configure it somehow you can just run 'Xorg --configure' which wil generate a configfile you can edit by hand. On the other hand if you are completely new to FreeBSD, the portsystem etc than I guess you're better off installing PCBSD. 3. The wi-fi card is probably Acer InviLink 802.11b/g Wi-Fi. Any chance such wireless card will be supported by FreeBSD or PCBSD? I don't know in what way it is supported. Google will probably give you an answer.

I've been using Linux for a long time, and every year or so I have a

So, trying again...
I think I want to start with FreeBSD 6.2 with Xorg upgraded to 7.3. I
tried to accomplish this over the course of several installs. In the
end, I decided this should work:
a) install 6.2, plain User setup (NOT with Xorg, and NOT with ports)
b) portsnap fetch
c) portsnap extract
d) cd to /usr/ports/x11/xorg and make install clean
When I do pkg_version -v, it SEEMS to have installed the xorg that I
want.
Is this the right procedure to start with?
Yes, with one caveat. You need to run mergebase.sh or manually create
the symlink for /usr/X11R6. /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh
Isn't the default X11BASE for 6.2 still on /usr/X11R6/ I thought it
still was, then you will run into trouble again when you are going to
update Xorg again in the future. So I think you will need a
X11BASE=${LOCALBASE} in /etc/make.conf

mplayer / snd_hda / Xorg; intel driver problem
Not so long ago I aquired a new laptop. Appart from some issues which were to be expected everything works fine; appart from one thing: When playing videos with mplayer it hangs up my system at random times( Mostly within half an hour of videplayback though ) . The video-playback stops, sound blocks and I can't acces my laptop anymore; not even switch to tty0 to check for debug messages. My guess is it has something to do with either the audio or the videodriver, respectively snd_hda and the intel driver in Xorg. So I did 2 tests, without gaining any additional knowlege however: I tried unloading the snd_hda module and sound modules and play the video to see if there was a problem with the video-part. I let it ran for a couple of hours and everything seemed to be fine The second thing I tried was just using mplayer -vo null and playing the video. Same as the above test; it ran fine for a couple of hours straight. So no I have no Idea anymore what I could do to determine whatever is going wrong. I hope someone else has an idea or might have a pointer to what I could do to gain more information about this.

What to do: - Open Firefox - Save a file, the save-file dialog comes up, Save or cancel it. - Save a file, when the file dialog comes up, file dialog hangs and after a second or something firefox crashes Same thing happens when trying to open a file using the file dialog a second time, and same for thunderbird: The second time the GTK file dialog comes up it seems to crash firefox or thunderbird. When I was running firefox-1.5 there was the exact same problem which was fixed in one of the developement releases and when first running Fx-2 I didn't have any problems with it either. I checked in the gimp and geany if there were problems with the file dialog but it worked fine in those programs.

I searched around on the web a while ago and saw a report (on a firefox bug issue or mailinglist I think) from another FreeBSD user about this. He later followed up to his own post saying that the problem went away after he recompiled ALL of his ports. The thing that was interesting is that he only saw the bad behavior under xfce (what WM are you using, btw?). I'm running xfce 4.4.0 and have the problem, but I haven't gotten around to recompiling everything yet. I may or may not wait for the modularXorg stuff to be committed before I do so... JN Hmm I wondered if I should have added what WM I was running but I guess so: Running xfce-4.4.0 on xorg-7.2rc3. Fixed by recompiling all my ports seems a lot of work to fix something with GTK :S but well I'm planning on reinstalling FreeBSD not that long from now ( want to switch disc setup ) hope that will fix the problem then.

It would be much easier for the 2 instances of dhcpd to run in separate machines, so to speak, since they normally use the same named files for logging and configuration. What sort of a performance hit does one usually see on a virtual machine? Depends a lot on the virtual machine. VMware Server runs VM's pretty efficiently, but there is a moderate hit. ESX server has almost n performance penalty. When we run dhcpd on a normal FreeBSD system of the type described above, the system is normally loaded around 0.05 or so so it isn't having to work too hard. Thanks for any help as to what vmware port is best. The platform is FreeBSD and the 2 virtual machines will also be FreeBSD if that makes any difference. Modern versions of VMware don't run under FreeBSD. If you really want VMware then install a supported Linux distro and run VMware server. (Or go out and buy ESX or GSX server or one of the Workstation products). FreeBSD 6.2 works great as a guest under most VMware products. There will be no X windows involved, just hopefully 2 DHCP servers running as if they were on two separate boxes. Any information to point me in the right direction or reasons why this is not a good idea are appreciated. For what you're talking about, jails make a lot more sense than virtualization or emulation. If you really want to run virtual machines under FreeBSD, take a look at qemu. qemu (even with the kqemu_kmod port (highly recommended) definitely has a noticeable performance impact, but DHCP is so lightweight that it probably won't matter.

Automatically detach screen after given amount of time ? / Authpf in background ?
A couple days ago I set up authpf on my FreeBSD gateway for authentication of my wifi network. Everything works great, the only thing that is/was bothering me was that I had to keep open a terminal on my laptop for the ssh session. I quickly thought of using screen to fix that problem. The thing is I want to see the confirmation authpf gives when starting the ssh transfer ( The 'welcome username you are authenticated from ip' message ). After that it should just send the ssh session to the background. So I came up with this script : [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /home/scripts/root/seescreen #!/bin/sh script to log in to connect to screen for only a set amount of time ## Settings to use: rtime=3 ## time to wait before calling screen's reatach dtime=4 ## time to wait before calling screen's detach # if called with '-reatach' if [ $1 = -reatach ] ; then sleep $rtime seescreen -detach screen -r fi # if called with '-detach' if [ $1 = -detach ] ; then sleep $dtime screen -d fi now I could start my authentication session with 'screen -wipe; sudo wlan ; seescreen -reatach ; screen -d -m ssh -l wifi wlanserver'. ( where wlan is an other script to set up my wlan connection '. I made an alias in my bashrc file to prevent typing all this. The weird thing is that the first times I ran my script during testruns I could set the rtime to 1 but then it seemed that wasn't enouth time so I had to make 2 of it and everything worked again. But then it didn't work with 2 either and I had to set it to 3 and now even 3 doesn't seem enough to reconnect to my screen session. It shouldn't take that long to start the 'screen -d -m command' does it ? So my question was: Am I missing something resulting in the need of a longer rtime ? If there is nothing wrong with it what would be a good value ? Or is there some other way I could run my ssh session in the background ?

Also when allready running in the 'multi'-user mode a 'shutdown now' will bring you in single user mode 12.cd /usr/src 13.make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL asuming you still are in single user mode you now have to do 'make installworld' ( your step 17 ), after you've done that run a 'mergemaster' and you are finished. Basically everything you have to do is documented perfectly in the FreeBSD Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html I suggest reading it (again?) and if possible open the page on a 2nd computer or something so you can read whatever step is next when rebuilding world.

Something wrong with the files in /usr/local/include/subversion-1/ ?
Hey, Today I tried manually building anjuta2, after getting rid of some errors by fixing FreeBSD specific includes in the anjuta-source files At some point I got this kind of errors: /usr/local/include/subversion-1/svn_io.h:28:17: apr.h: No such file or directory /usr/local/include/subversion-1/svn_io.h:30:25: apr_file_io.h: No such file or directory /usr/local/include/subversion-1/svn_io.h:31:29: apr_thread_proc.h: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/local/include/subversion-1/svn_delta.h:36, from /usr/local/include/subversion-1/svn_wc.h:44, from /usr/local/include/subversion-1/svn_client.h:39, from svn-backend.h:25, from svn-backend.c:19: So I checked the files in /usr/local/include/subversion-1/ , allmost all of them need some apr files which are included. Allthough none of them can by found when compiling the sources. When I ran a locate I found out the apr files are all in /usr/local/include/apr-1/ . I fixed the compiling errors by just symlinking the files in /usr/local/include/apr-1/ to /usr/local/include but this is just a dirty trick to fool the svn header files.

Re: Blocking SSH Brute-Force Attacks: What Am I Doing Wrong?

This is the key. I can't remember where I read it but this is a documented caveat of the ndis driver. Windows doesn't typically invoke network drivers until after the system is loaded, so some drivers won't work in FreeBSD unless they're loaded after the system is up. So take the line out of /boot/loader.conf, test that the driver works correctly if you reboot and kldload it manually, then make an rc script or something to automatically load the driver later in the boot process.

Anyway, thanks for your help so far allready :) Regards, -- -Frank Staals ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sendmail Question; unable to send mail as normal user
I tried to setup my own mail and smtp-server with help from this webpage: http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/freebsd/sendmail.html . I sucessfully installed imap-uw and I got it up successfully. Allthough the stmp-part doesn't work for 100% yet: I can send mail as root : # mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: test test .

Re: Problem upgrading mplayer

By the way: I would reccomend manually compiling the CVS version of mplayer ( ah wel they are using subversion ATM but hence it's about the idea ) Then you have an up to date mplayer + ffmpeg.

PF and VPN/Hamachi
Hey, I'm having some trouble with my FreeBSD PF firewall and hamachi ( http://www.hamachi.cc ) , a simple program to set up a vpn. I asked my question on the hamachi forums but nobody seems to reply. Currently I have these rules in my pf.conf: # For Hamachi: rdr pass on $extif inet proto udp from any to $extaddr port 12975 - 192.168.2.11 port 12975 and I just allow all outgoing traffic: #Allow everyting outwards pass out all keep state I tried about every rule stated in this topic ( http://forums.hamachi.cc/viewtopic.php?t=1079 ) on the hamachi forums but none seem to work; either they have an invalid syntax or I just can't use that port ( someone redirected the traffic to port 25 which I'm allready using ). I also tried this rule, but it doesn't seem to help: nat on $extif from $intif:network port 12975 to any - $extif static-port I hope someone can tell me what to do because they are either also use hamachi through a PF firewall or know what the correct syntax should be.

Problem regarding Bash 3.1.10
\[Hey, I ran a portupgrade yesterday, and noticed that bash got updated, allthough I dislike the way it is visible in my shells. Normally I whould have [EMAIL PROTECTED] but this seems to have changed when I ran portupgrade, currently it is like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ when I'm in my homedir. The problem is when entering a long path, or a directory which hasn't been renamed properly yet, for example when I'm in ~/tmp/\[Nipponsei\]\ Shakugan\ no\ Shana\ Original\ Sound\ Track my shell becomes: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/tmp/\[Nipponsei\]\ Shakugan\ no\ Shana\ Original\ Sound\ Track]$ which leaves absolutely no place on the line for my commands, which I think is very anoying. I read the man and looked up if I could find something in .bashrc but I didn't realy know what to look for. So my question is; how can I set bash so it will be visible in the old way ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) ? I'm running 5-Stable with bash-3.1.10 ( the old view was with 3.0.16_1 ) Thanks in advance -- -Frank Staals ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
