MAC and JAILS
Hey all, I'm trying to implement MAC within jails. however any attempt to do this from directly within the jail results in Operation not Permitted messages. With that, I assume root within the jail doesn't have any capabliities of defining his own policies. Can anyone confirm (or deny) this?

With that said, access to dev entries within jail are/can be controlled by devfs rules. The configuration for your rules is administrator dependant. More specifically, you should find a line in your rc.conf that looks similar to the following: jail_devfs_ruleset=devfsrules_jail This defines the ruleset used for your jails.

NanoBSD :: smallest image size
Hello list, I have an old machine I just acquired that I was thinking of replacing my current FreeBSD firewall/router with. It's a Celeron 500+ Mhz machine with 32 Megs of ram, and a 10G hard drive. I am(was) initially thinking about taking out the 10G, and using the flobby disk drive to boot off of. I was familiar with PicoBSD years ago and know I could use that, but it seems that project has been discontinued. After looking through archives to determine what to do, I can across nanoBSD as that seems to be included in the FreeBSD system by default, henceforth this question. I couldn't find any information regarding the smallest image size possible using NanoBSD. So the question is: can nanoBSD fw/ the proper configurations fit onto a floppy disk...and if not, is such an old computer bootable off of a usb stick? How can I tell without buying one?

Xorg works fine with the standard nv driver. However, if I try to install the x11/nvidia-driver (which should bring better graphic performance, right?) I get a total system freeze when I start the X server. Here are the details of what I have done: 1) install x11/nvidia-driver 2) add nvidia_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf 3) modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf by substituting nvidia to nv in the Driver line. At this point (after rebooting), if I start the X server with startx, I get a black screen and the system *completely* hangs (neither ctrl-alt-backspace, nor even ctrl-alt-delete work). The only way to get back the system is to power it off and on (which corrupts the filesystem because it has not been properly dismounted). I also looked at the xorg log file in: /var/log/Xorg.0.log Interestingly it seems to detect the card as a GeForce 9500 GT rather than a 8500 GT (which makes me wonder whether I got the right info from the vendor receipt): (--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device (--) Chipset GeForce 9500 GT found But this should not be an issue because in the same log file it says that both GeForce 8500 GT and GeForce 9500 GT are supported by the nv driver.

Here are the details of what I have done: 1) install x11/nvidia-driver 2) add nvidia_load=YES to /boot/loader.conf 3) modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf by substituting nvidia to nv in the Driver line. At this point (after rebooting), if I start the X server with startx, I get a black screen and the system *completely* hangs (neither ctrl-alt-backspace, nor even ctrl-alt-delete work). The only way to get back the system is to power it off and on (which corrupts the filesystem because it has not been properly dismounted). I also looked at the xorg log file in: /var/log/Xorg.0.log Interestingly it seems to detect the card as a GeForce 9500 GT rather than a 8500 GT (which makes me wonder whether I got the right info from the vendor receipt): (--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device (--) Chipset GeForce 9500 GT found But this should not be an issue because in the same log file it says that both GeForce 8500 GT and GeForce 9500 GT are supported by the nv driver.

Tomcat Debugging (OT most likely)
Hey all, This question is probably best suited for tomcat-users, but being this is an a FBSD machine I'd figure I'd ask here first. I have a client running apache w/ tomcat serving thousands of requests per second. It works, but with one caveat, pages load extremely slowly. When I first saw the request, I figured this client was running into some kind of resource bottleneck, but that's where my problems started. I'm unable to find any resource that is being starved. I turn to `the mighty list` for guidance. This particular machine is running FreeBSD 6.2. It has a bce network card that currently connected to a GigE switch with a 10G uplink. Even with all this available bandwidth, this client's application *currently* is not doing any more than 50Mb/sec. :: Rule out network congestion. Moving along to the system ram :: 2 Gigs are in the machine, with very little usage: Mem: 724M Active, 874M Inact, 338M Wired, 64M Cache, 112M Buf, 4944K Free A dual core cpu is in the machine, again with very little usage: CPU states: 8.6% user, 0.0% nice, 3.9% system, 2.8% interrupt, 84.7% idle Disk throughput is negligable at this time (50KB/sec :: 3tps). I did start off mentioning this machine uses tomcat...so let me continue. We've setup the java process to use libthr via libmap.conf: # cat /etc/libmap.conf [java] libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2 libpthread.so libthr.so # And added the following to rc.conf:: ### tomcat55_java_opts=-XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xmx512M ### Apache Configuration: ### MaxClients 1024 ### Tomcat Configuration: ### maxThreads=1200 ### So onto my question...the slowness being encountered. My initial thought was the slowness was due to quite possibly the cpu being hammered by numerous requests. After checking however that's not the case, then I looked at the networking equipment with my networking team, that's ok too. (I think) That leaves a) thread contention somewhere b) apache misconfiguration and c) tomcat configuration.

Headset w/ Mic Presario R3000
Hey all, I've been using FreeBSD for many many years, but never have a tried to get a headset working under FreeBSD. So, here's the deal. I have an Altec Lansing Headset w/ mic hooked up to a FBSD 7 machine. Generally, when connecting a sound device to the system, I just normally 'kldload snd_ich' and it will find the device and work out of the box. Well, the onboard speakers work just fine. However, after attempting to plug in this headset, I am unable to a) hear from the headpeice, or b) speak into the mic. It's not a usb or bluetooth headset, just your run of the mill headset to two plugs; one for mic and one for sound. I've read the chapter on sound on the FreeBSD site, but that itself didn't provide any details about forcing the device to accept input from or output to the headphones and mic. http://blackk.union.edu/~black/freebsd/#audio The above claims that sound works, and it does out the onboard speakers. I don't think a headset was tested. Additionally, I figured man mixer would give details but I'm not terribly certain what I'm looking for is there. Can someone be kind enough to provide a link or otherwise in the right direction?

Having been an administrator now for mail servers in general for nearly 15 years, with experience with most notable mailers, Qmail by far lends itself to be the most highly configurable mailer assuming you know what you want ahead of time. Most experienced sysadmins, once they know what they want, can apply those patches to qmail with ease and roll out additional Qmail installations with a single package. Very easy indeed. However, in an attempt to remain as unbiased as possible (too late I realize) and just to reiterate, Qmail even though I believe it is a wonderful piece of software, you definately need to know what you are doing. Postfix, exim, etc., take a lot of guess work away from the administrator by making assumptions that qmail doesn't make. Some claim that this makes these packages better. For this reason, especially if you aren't familiar with any mailer, I would suggest something other than Qmail.

Would you like to give the maintainer some money to hurry your absolute and urgent need? This has been said more than enough times, but people have jobs that actually make them money, and henceforth their priority. Resorting to negative comments doesn't make the testing phase of an updated port go any faster. I neet to get a fileserver going right away. I would like to use Samba.

The answer to your question is yes. To elaborate a bit more however
here is a personal document I wrote (i.e. wasn't intended for anyone
else), hopefully it provides you with good enough information and/or
the information you were looking for. Mind you, this is BSD and qmail

software I decided to use under the components heading. Certainly
feel free to ask any questions. I realize the document isn't

I can vouche for this method.
Additionally note, this is obviously not the only method.just that

I have 5 machines behind a load balancer, one of which is FBSD 4.11,
and the other 4 are FBSD 6.2. The component list I used is as follows:
Components
tcpserver
daemontools
qmail w/ QMAILQUEUE patch
qmail-qfilter
spamassassin
*custom c scripts (These are optional; one is provided)
Flow
This is the current flow of any emails that reach the cluster. Note
the items listed within *'s are custom programs and explained later in
this document:
tcpserver-qmail-smtpd-qmail-qfilter-spamc-*reject_spam*-qmail-queue-qmail-remote
**Note :: reject_spam is included because that is needed for denying
emails. (You could rewrite it in perl or sh if you needed to)
Installation
The installation for any new and existing proxy boxes is extremely
straightforward.
For all but qmail listed above, use the ports tree.
Setup spamd to create the /tmp/.spamd.sock socket. That's what I call
mine, yours can/will vary.
Once all this is installed, create /etc/tcp.smtp with the following
entry and build the cdb file:

Ensure tcpserver uses that file(i.e. -x)
While in /usr/ports/qmail.
a) upload the attached files (patch-qmail.c and patch-Makefile) into
./files/
b) edit patch-qmail.c to reflect a message you would like to give.

c) type: make extract
d) type: make patch
e) copy the attached file (reject-spam.c) to ./work/qmail*/
f) Now, I haven't included some of my patches here do to sensative
information. Therefore, you'll need to edit the Makefile
(work/qmail-*/Makefile) to removed any and all references to
check_block and reject-record-spam.
g) type: make install
h) copy reject-spam to /var/qmail/bin
i) Copy the attached shell script (qmail-queue-spam) to
/var/qmail/bin/; that is going to tie this together.
Please note that it's NECESSARY to use the local software FW to allow
relaying. IPFW is a good choice (my preference anyways). Deny
everything to port 25, and only allow the hosts you want. I found
this to be the easiest.
Then on those hosts, smarthost the hidden (not really) machine.

If your machine is a version of BSD prior to 6.2, and you haven't
touched anything regarding the X11 base dirs, then what this message
means, it to do the following:
echo 'X11BASE=${LOCALBASE}' /etc/make.conf

Problem with Nat (port forwarding)
Hey all, I've been spending hours trying to figure out why my machine at the office (Linux), cannot connect to my FreeBSD (6.1) machine behind my nat'ed gateway. This was working fine previously before my linksys router decided to take a nose dive, so I am sure the Linux box that is attempting to establish the connection is configured fine. When the router crapped out, I decided to put all that old hardware I wasn't using for anything to good use. What I ended up with is a Pentium 3 200mhz machine with several network interfaces conncted to my internet provider (BellSouth). In order to continue working from home, it's necessary that I get this tunnel up and running, and for the life of me, I can't seem to figure out what exactly I'm doing wrong. Here is my current configuration: Gateway (FBSD 6.2) - IPFW / NATD - PPPoE Configuration for DSL (Works fine) -- nat# cat /etc/ppp/ppp.conf default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE) set device PPPoE:xl0:pppoe-in enable lqr echo set cd 5 set dial set login set authname username set authkey pass set redial 0 0 enable dns set ifaddr 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR The above creates the following device without problems: --- tun0: flags=8051UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1492 inet xx.xx.xx.xx -- xx.xx.xx.xx netmask 0xff00 Opened by PID 492 Natd configuration (Works fine w/ the exception of port forwarding) -- natd_enable=YES natd_flags=-dynamic -m -redirect_port tcp 10.5.21.246:5000 5000 natd_interface=tun0 IPFW RULES (works fine) -- nat# ipfw show 1 0 0 allow ip from any to any via lo0 2 0 0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 3 0 0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any 00050 6 444 allow ip from any to any via xl0 00051 10646 2950467 allow ip from any to any via fxp0 00052 1212 101901 allow ip from any to any via dc0 00053 534 261533 allow ip from any to any via rl0 00100 4316 2156348 divert 8668 ip from any to any in via tun0 00101 0 0 check-state 00150 1121 332120 skipto 500 udp from any to any out via tun0 keep-state 00160 5795 2319421 skipto 500 tcp from any to any out via tun0 setup keep-state 00170918551 skipto 500 icmp from any to any out via tun0 keep-state 00180 1013 87013 skipto 500 gre from any to any out via tun0 keep-state 00301 941 57268 allow tcp from any to 10.5.21.246 dst-port 5000 in via tun0 setup keep-state 00400 264 19399 deny log ip from any to any 00500 4182 622757 divert 8668 ip from any to any out via tun0 00501 8020 2747105 allow ip from any to any 65535444726 allow ip from any to any Do note, the interfaces housing the vtund application that I'm concerned with lives over the fxp0 interace. In addition rule number 00301 triggers appropriately when a packet destined for port 5000 is inbound. /var/log/security makes no mention of anything being denied by this firewall ruleset destined for or originating from port 5000 by any host. This is certainly the case, as the host where vtund is running is recieving packets from the gateway on port 5000 (info showing this follows). I also see the vtund box responding to the inbound packets, but it never creates the tunnel device as it should, and nothing gets logged.

mfs_root booting problems
Hey all, I've been having a problem that hopefully someone would be able to help me with. I've been trying to boot FreeBSD via PXE for at least a couple of days now with no luck. I've read several online guides none of which explain using a root mfs to accomplish this task. Most of the manuals I've read go over mounting / as NFS which isn't ideal for me. I've got mostly everything working *up to* the point where the system begins bootstrapping. It loads the kernel, loads the mfs root and then the machine immediately reboots. For the life of me, I can't figure out why. I was hoping that someone has a documented method for initializing a FreeBSD system via PXE and without the use of NFS for the root filesystem. For refernce my loader.rc: echo Loading Your Kernel Fool!!! set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1## have tried it without it being disabled. load /boot/kernel/kernel echo echo Loading mfs filesystem YoYo!! load -t mfs_root /mfsroot echo booting... echo \007\007 set vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/md0## have tried /dev/md0c as well boot -- wacko# ll /tftpboot/mfsroot -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4423680 Nov 2 02:33 /tftpboot/mfsroot Assuming the mfs file sysetm is being create without error (I assume it is due to a lack of error messages), then I assume loader reads init like usual. wacko# file /mnt/mfsroot/sbin/init /mnt/mfsroot/sbin/init: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped And then continues on with /etc/rc wacko# file /mnt/mfsroot/etc/rc /mnt/mfsroot/etc/rc: Bourne shell script text executable As for the rest of the filesthey are certainly all there. I believe it's also worth mentioning, that if I use the mfsroot that comes with the installer, it loads/run fine. Not sure if this helps any or not. What could I possibly be missing?
