Sendmail/wrappers question

2003-08-04 Thread Stephen Hovey

whats the surest way to prevent mail hosts with no reverse dns from being
able to connect/send email?

The hosts.allow example seem more accurately ident'ing and refusing than
check there is a reverse dns.

Any insight is appreciated! :)

At the risk of swellin heads

2003-07-22 Thread Stephen Hovey

The developers of freebsd are practically GODS - 

Every night that I get to sleep ALL NITE because my beeper DIDNT go off -
its because I switched to freebsd

this maybe sounds stupid - but BEFORE I made the switch, well I didnt get
to sleep regularly..

So anyway - if you are one of the people who has worked on fbsd - get a
swelled head if you want - you deserve it!

Re: Disaster recovery planning

2003-06-24 Thread Stephen Hovey

I keep a local copy ftpable of the version(s) I use..  Install just the
bin dist using floppy and the local ftpable - then full restore from tape
- and recompile the kernal just to be on the safe side.

On Tue, 24 Jun 2003, Sue Blake wrote:

 Here's how I plan to recover a system from a level 0 backup to
 new hardware, if ever the need arises:
 
 1. boot off installation CD (or floppy??)
 2.   disklabel, make filesystems (using sysinstall)
 3.   restore root filesystem and mount it
 4.   change fstab and various configs to work with new hardware
 5. boot in single user mode, fix fstab and devices, restore other filesystems
 6. boot multiuser and fix anything that still doesn't work
 
 I'm upgrading using cvsup and don't have recent CDs.
 I know I can make my own bootable CD to keep for this purpose, but I
 don't want to rely on it being found in a crisis if there is a more
 generic method.
 
 Can I do this by booting off an _old_ FreeBSD CD? How old, I mean,
 what sort of changes do I need to look out for?
 
 I think I need the fixit CD too, I couldn't just use the holographic
 shell even if feeling masochistic... or could I?
 
 Could it be done just using a couple of quickly downloaded boot
 floppy images, in which case I'd only need to document the URL for
 the current floppies?

 fetchmail to retrieve my email, and passing the mail on to sendmail on the
 local machine. 
 
 The new powers that be have decided to turn of the POP2 server. There
 suggested alternative is a miserable web based mail access (Lotus Notes, I
 think, if it matters). 
 
 Now, I was wondering if someone had cobbled together something (perl

 to replace the fetchmail part of my setup with something.
 
 Suggestions?

 Depends on what access patterns you have; is it mostly dormant archiving;
 or lots of access, concurrent, sequential ? How safe does the data need to
 be; and against what (hardware failure, accidental rm -rf).
 
 But check out the 3ware RAID card; I've had great luck with building NFS

Re: Multiple solutions for a problem (Re: How to map bad sectors onIDE?)

2003-02-01 Thread Stephen Hovey

This has been an open question - I dont believe IDE's do much of their own
bad block marking - 

there used to be a utility called bad144 - though I dont know that it did
much - I know SCO has a utility.

   I have searched Google to find a solution to mark off these two
   blocks/inodes (or however I should call them), so that they will not
   be used anymore. All I found is that this is not possible on
   IDE. Advise: Throw away the disk. Now this I find a bit radical :-)
   Esp. since the disk is about 3 years old.
 
  Why is it radical?
 
 Because it involves a lot of work to backup the disk, open up the
 machine, check it with some software that reports something that I
 could tell Maxtor, have them give me another disk (if they do that).
 Wait, wait, wait. And all this time machine not working obviously,
 which is extra bad since it is the key machine here that connects
 others to the internet.
 
 All in all I would say 10 hours work, a few weeks of waiting.
 
 So why not first try something (if it exists, which was my question)
 that does not involve picking up a screwdriver and turning of my
 network here? Or lets say I am poor (which I am) and cannot really
 just run off and buy a new disk? The one with problems may be under
 warrenty, it may not. I cannot tell before I take the machine apart
 and read the serial on the disk.
 
 Your advise sounds perfectly sound for IBM and Microsoft and the
 Pentagon. But for a home or small office situation, there might be
 another way to deal with it?
 
 Especially since we are not talking about something 10 years old or
 heavily used in a mailserver.
 
  After all, IDE disks already do bad-block
  remapping internally, so you've built up a *lot* of bad sectors
  already if they're starting to become visible to the operating
  system...

 Ok I found out the proper numbers:

 I defined it that way in the BIOS.
 
 When I get to the fdisk part of the install I did 'G'.  I then set the geometry 
according to those numbers and told it to use the entire drive.  When I go to define 
the slices, though, it still thinks the drive is only 2 gigs.  What am I doing wrong?

Ive used such utilities in the past..

Basically, the only way a legit admin can secure things, is if they have

  Why would you want to do this? Personally, I figure its prudent to ask.
  
 It does have some legitimate uses, according to this page ( 
 http://www.atstake.com/research/lc/ ):
 
  Consider that at one of the largest technology companies, where
  policy required that passwords exceed 8 characters, mix cases,
  and include numbers or symbols...
  
  * L0phtCrack obtained 18% of the passwords in 10 minutes 
  * 90% of the passwords were recovered within 48 hours on a Pentium
  II/300 
  * The Administrator and most Domain Admin passwords were
  cracked
  
  It doesn't have to be this way. Crack-resistant passwords are
  achievable and practical. But password auditing is the only
  sure way to identify user accounts with weak passwords. LC4
  offers an easy and adaptable way to address this threat and
  find vulnerable passwords.
 
  Take it from a 1998 Microsoft security bulletin:
  
  consider evaluating a tool such as L0phtcrack 2.0 for
  assisting in checking the quality of user passwords.

 All modern IDE drives do bad-block remapping just like SCSI drives, and
 if you start getting write errors passed up to you, then the drive has
 already used up all its spares and will likely fail completely soon.
 
I thought this was also supposed to have been the case with IDE - Bakc
when I ran SCO on an IDE the SCO utility saved me once.  With SCSI, the
adaptec and tekram bios verify utilies have done the same.

Re: REASON #7919 NOT to do things as root!

2002-11-09 Thread Stephen Hovey

/etc/passwd is made from master.passwd for those jobbies that still need
to look at the old style text file instead of making kernel calls.  You
can regenerate it - I always forget the damn program name - mk_pwdb or
something like that - when I forget, I use vipw, change a latter in my
real name in the geco, and save - that regens the whole thing too.

 Is there anything I can do to recover /etc/passwd
 
 I just double checked and still seem to have access using other accounts 
 and I've made a copy of master.passwd in case I commit the changes 
 from passwd.

Re: Junior hacker assignment :o

2002-11-05 Thread Stephen Hovey
 Hello,
 
 I'd like to make my own modification to FreeBSD, but I
 really don't know where to start. This is what I want
 to do:
 
 After doing a shutdown (no APM nor ACPI) FreeBSD tells
 me that the system is ready to be powered down. I'd
 like to add a (configurable) timeout to this final
 system notice that automatically reboots when this
 timer has expired.

Um - its already in there - man shutdown

 
 Where do I start reading? I mean, I think this is a
 kernel thingy, right?
 
 Best regards,
 Carlos.

 there should be any problems.

all there is to do unless your new cpu etc has all its interrupts spoken
for or something.

Re: At wits end with tekram

 Have you tried the sym(4) driver? It might not be in 3.2, though, so
 an upgrade might be in the cards.

At wits end with tekram

2002-10-09 Thread Stephen Hovey


I have a 390u2w that randomly crashes a heavy load server - it has a mix
of scsi-2 on 1 bus, and 1 large lvd on the other.

I put in the driver from the tekram site, and it helped (the default ncr0
crashed quick and often).. but it still crashes.

I disabled tagged queueing - no difference.  So Im about done with it.

Anyone else using this tekram card that would have any tips?

Failing this - is adaptec 29160 cards supported under fbsd 3.2?

Re: motherboard for freebsd 5.0 server

I thought the issue was that a scsi drive can drop off the bus well
fullfilling a request, whereas the system waits on an IDE

On Wed, 2 Oct 2002, Thomas T. Veldhouse wrote:

 Depending on the use perhaps (I am not sure there is a working hot swapable
 IDE raid solution for FreeBSD), but most can probably get by with it.  Of
 more concern is that FreeBSD 5.0 is going to be used.  Don't use that!  It
 is not stable yet.

Re: killing an application through code

 But how can i kill it through a piece of code?
 one way is to execute ps and then grep 'realplay'

 other way i can do this? isn't there something which
 kills from command name like 'kill realplay'?

Runing ultra160

2002-09-25 Thread Stephen Hovey


I tried using a tekram 390U3 and it locks up under high loads - when I
looked in the archives I found a known bug/issue.. Im running fbsd 3.2 -
does anyone know if this is fixed in any of the newer fbsd releases?  I
couldnt find any reference.

Failing that, is anyone succesfully running a pci ultra160 of any type?
(I need to support a mix of sdsi2 and lvd) - I looked at adaptecs, but
found references on the 29160 as having hang issues - at least for 1
person, when under high loads.

Any input is appreciated!
