I need to control a bunch of files.
Hi, All! There is a question, sorry if you find it stupid. I need to control a bunch of files. As soon as any of these files changes it should be immediately rechecked and correct chmod and chown reset on this file(s). Though I can do it from a simple script executed by the cron every five minutes or so, I'd like them to be controlled by a process which would monitor any possible changes in these files and would do the job upon the event. Can anybody give me a hint? Thanks. WBR Vitali ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's not a chapter :) Hendrik - WHAT'S IN A NAME? Daemons and Dragons Although the name is pronounced dee-mon, it is correctly spelled daemon. Nobody knows if the name used to be an acronym or why we use a British variation of the spelling. (In Celtic mythology, a daemon is usually good or neutral, merely a spirit or inspiration. A demon, however, is always an evil spirit entity.) You may occasionally read that the name stands for Disk and Executing Monitor, a term from old DEC 10 and 20 computers. However, this explanation was made up after the fact. The name daemon was first used by MIT programmers who worked in CTSS (the Compatible Time-Sharing System), developed in 1963. They coined the name to refer to what were called DRAGONS by other programmers who worked on ITS (the Incompatible Time-Sharing System). (CTSS and ITS were both ancestors of UNIX. ITS was an important, but strange, operationg system that developed a cult following at MIT. To this day, ITS is still revered among aging east-coast hackers.) Strictly speaking, a dragon is a daemon that is not invoked explicitly but is always there, waiting in the background to perfofrm some task. The cron daemon, for example, might be called a dragon. Although many Unix users have heard of daemons, very few people know about dragons. (But now you do.)

Re: Newer names
Please read entire article before sending any comment to me. Read. Why would any one wish to change the term DAEMON, D.A.E.Mon., and Disk and execution monitor, to a more fitting title. In practice this term has grown outdated. For today it stands that many people in the world abroad don't profusely rely on the veritable disk based storage as a complete solution. There are other storage mediums which are without a disk. For example: Flash cards, USB pen drives and the sort have no circular rotary disks. In my, I hope, humble opinion, this term will be preserved due to traditional inclines of human nature. Very few individuals know the meaning of DAEMON term. And, as I've much heard from other admins, many of them, including me, refer to DAEMON using another term - PROCESS. The snmpd process worked much time..., There are 340 httpd processes... and so on... It would be more fitting to address the storage units as media or storage media. Thus the title DAEMON could be reverted to SMAEMON or Storage Media And Executon MONitor. What about DRAGON? There is also such a term as DRAGON. Yes, I'm all serious. cron is a DRAGON, for example. DRAGON is a process which may run other processes periodically under a user specified. What about it? And many my colleagues, and me as well, refer to it also as PROCESS. Even further involved is the choice of the term execution. The term execution, is not as precise as Tasks or Processes for a naming convention. For example, in Windows 2000, there is a task manager. In that task manager there are processes and applications that can be canceled. Open top, and (s)he who can read the top output can see anything needed from there. If it turns out insufficent information then use ps. After close study of the output from these two commands you can kill a process (ie to cancel it), in other words you use kill command to send a signal to the process of your interest: -1, -9 , -15, and there many more to your choice. Read man page signal(3). By the way, are there, among my dear audience, women-feminists, who would like to replace the man (short for manual) command for, say, wom (short for wonderful manual)? Hey! Any ideas? Sure, MIT's CTSS people came up with the term, DAEMON, as noted in www.dictionary.com, but would you want to keep it? In this world, would you like to have a term in the future that connotes a certain religious involvement? It could provoke any further controversy in the public if the Unix and Linux community goes even further into the Desktop market. Particularly groups of people could simply dismiss the operating system, since it has many references to a program that connotes an adverse spirits. Thus dissuading them from purchasing, developing, or involving there self in such a product. The mere suggestion of an affiliation or like thereof of an offending spirit, based on their preference of relation/religion with this life, would turn them away from such product. In other words, why would a spiritually right person want to associate with a daemon [demon]? As a Russian saying goes Each thinks according to the measure of his/her dissoluteness. When a doctor hears a term penis he has no bad or pervert emotions. For him/her it's just a medical term. When a jerk or a pervert hears it... Well, you know what (s)he can imagine and do with the subject signifed by the term... :( So, let's come out with an idea of total replacement of the terms penis, womb, sheath. etc... Any ideas? Furthermore, society in general would benefit from a newer name than DAEMON. MS Windows, Novell NetWare, OS/2 Warp, Ecomstation, Sun's Solaris and several other operating system don't need this incorrect term floating around in their operating systems. As a practical usage this term adjustment sounds very much needed and desired when proposed to the IT community and the rest of the world.

Re: Kernel - maxusers, NMBCLUSTERS etc.
Hi! On Wed, Aug 13, 2003 at 10:46:59AM -0400, Grant Peel wrote: 1. Does anyone use the maxusers=0 parm? If so is it safe, ie does it dynamicly set maxusers on-the-fly, or does it only set at boot time based on the current number of users? Yes and Yes, the setting is assigned at boot time and depends on an algorithm which you can read about in tuning(7) IIRC. I would say give it a go and see how it fairs. Check out sysctl -a for your current settings and see how it changes when you set MAXUSERS to 0. Also check out fstat(1) to see what open files you currently have and what is consuming your file descriptors - perhaps you can cut down the number of open files. You should have read the documentation more attentively. there it says: begin The maxusers option sets the size of a number of important system tables. This number is supposed to be roughly equal to the number of simultaneous users you expect to have on your machine. Starting with FreeBSD 4.5, the system will auto-tune this setting for you if you explicitly set it to 0. In FreeBSD-5.x, maxusers will default to 0 if not specified. If you are using an version of FreeBSD earlier than 4.5, or you want to manage it yourself you will want to set maxusers to at least 4, especially if you are using the X Window System or compiling software. The reason is that the most important table set by maxusers is the maximum number of processes, which is set to 20 + 16 * maxusers, so if you set maxusers to 1, then you can only have 36 simultaneous processes, including the 18 or so that the system starts up at boot time, and the 15 or so you will probably create when you start the X Window System. Even a simple task like reading a manual page will start up nine processes to filter, decompress, and view it. Setting maxusers to 64 will allow you to have up to 1044 simultaneous processes, which should be enough for nearly all uses. If, however, you see the dreaded proc table full error when trying to start another program, or are running a server with a large number of simultaneous users (like ftp.FreeBSD.org), you can always increase the number and rebuild. Note: maxusers does not limit the number of users which can log into your machine. It simply sets various table sizes to reasonable values considering the maximum number of users you will likely have on your system and how many processes each of them will be running. One keyword which does limit the number of simultaneous remote logins and X terminal windows is pseudo-device pty 16. --- end --- also, at the bottom of the page there is a little note: ---begin--- The auto-tuning algorithm sets maxuser equal to the amount of memory in the system, with a minimum of 32, and a maximum of 384. ---end--- Hence, gentlemen, assigning 0 (ZERO) to the MAXUSERS options signifies options MAXUSERS=384 So, if you need more you can assign max allowed value to the MAXUSERS option: options MAXUSERS=512 As for NMBCLUSTERS, comment it out in you kernel config file and the system will be tuning it automatically according to the REAL needs.

Re: mod_frontpage - question
it said in readme_apache_dso.txt
+ begin
To compile the FrontPage Apache module using apxs, change to the
directory containing the FrontPage Apache module source code,
and use
For Apache 1.3:
${httpd_root}/bin/apxs -c mod_frontpage.c
For Apache 2.0
${httpd_root}/bin/apxs -c mod_frontpage.c mod_fpcgid.c
where ${httpd_root} is the root of your Apache installation tree.
(This is for standard Apache installations. Other installation
layouts may place the apxs utility in a different directory.)
This command will compile the FrontPage Apache module source code,
leaving the DSO file in the same directory tree.
To install the FrontPage Apache module into Apache, from the
same directory as above:
For Apache 1.3:
${httpd_root}/bin/apxs -i -a -n frontpage ./mod_frontpage.so
For Apache 2.0:
${httpd_root}/bin/apxs -i -a -n frontpage ./mod_frontpage.la
This command will copy the Apache module into the appropriate
directory in the Apache installation tree, and will automatically
edit your configuration file to include an appropriate LoadModule
command.

i installed with no problem, and that was DSO apache and I didn't changed

Re: Can you help me find a small (old ?) FreeBSD release?
Hi, Hi, will this be ok? http://people.freebsd.org/~picobsd/picobsd/doc/intro.html My name is Dorin Scutarasu. I recently read some really interesting articles about Unix and the open source comunity and I want to install a BSD on my computer.

Kaspersky has been working excellent for the third year in my boxes, but it's a bit expensive, anyway if you find a key on astalavista.box.sk then it'll be free to you ;) You will have to patch sendmail and modify its sendmail.cnf (which is a nightmare to me), but I'm lucky to have been working with qmail where one has to rm native qmail-queue to qmail-que and instead of the native qmail-queue put the qmail-queue from Kavdaemon suite (there is rich documentation in the package) ftp://ftp.kaspersky.ru/beta/KAVUnix/FreeBSD/ -- Error Code=-1 Continue?

Re:
Hi, dear All! as usual, before the kernel begins to load it waits for your pushing SPACE for 10 seconds (by default). so you just push SPACE, then, when you see prompt ok, type boot -s. The kernel must load, then you'll be asked about the shell you want to get into /bin/sh, just push Enter and then type mount -a. This is a single user mode. after all these magic machinations you might have a possibility to repare your /etc/rc.conf :) -- Error Code=-1 Continue? Yes | No -- Dear sirs, please, help me to solve such problem: during configuration I had made an error in rc.conf (unterminated quoted string). After rebooting kernel was loaded successfully (without remarks), but when reading rc.conf system reports about error and breaks during mounting root. So I have a read-only file system without any possibility to correct rc.conf. Say, whether I must install FreeBSD from the very beginning, or I can repair rc.conf ? Yours, I.A.

Re: BIND 9
Hello: Hi, I'm trying to configure both a master and slave DNS on the same machine. My approach is to run the master by setting named_enable=YES and it will use the config file in /etc/named. To start the slave I will In rc.local and it would use the config files in /etc/named/slave. Does this seems ok? Is there a better way. I can't follow your point... Are you going to run TWO named daemons? I can't see why you're doing this. master and slave are configured in named.conf and doesn't matter where you're going to start the daemon from, besides, the named daemon can process both master and slave zone at the same time, you don't have to run TWO named daemons. try to make yourself clearer, I suspect I failed to understand the idea... :( as for starting named from rc.conf here is a record from my rc.conf ### BIND 9.1.2 named_enable=YES named_program=/usr/local/sbin/named named_flags=-t /etc/namedb ### -- Error Code=-1 Continue?

Re: Getting X to work in FreeBSD 4.8 in VMware 4.0
Greetings !! Welcom aboard, Mick! I have got the system up and running, just using the command line (which is good), as I am told that the command line is the most important part of the FreeBSD system. Any help will be appreciated - I am a complete newbie in this regard. try to begin from typing in the command line man man, then man vi, man ls man cd, man lock, man window if you don't know exactly a command you can enter apropos command (ex. apropos cd) and it will give you a list of all the man-pages where this letter combination (cd, I mean) is found giving you a good possibility to find out about many other commands. see what file there are in the /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin directories. for example you saw an interesting file: /usr/bin/bzip2 you've got interested what it might be... don't hesitate and type man bzip2... :) Have fun! :) -- Error Code=-1 Continue?

Re: building a routing machine
Hi folks,
hi, man.
I've enabled routed on both systems, (-s on the webserver, -q on the
it not necessary at all!
set your default router in rc.conf (ask your University admin about its IP)
you just look at sysctl -a net.inet.ip.forwarding
if it equals 0 then sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
(in rc.conf this variable is set by gateway_enable=YES)
then you need a natd
just touch /etc/natd.conf and edit it so that it contained something like
log yes
#log_denied yes
port 8668
use_sockets yes
same_ports yes
unregistered_only yes
alias_address ???.???.???.??? #your PUBLIC IP
###
#EOF
###
run natd /sbin/natd -f /etc/natd.conf
edit /etc/rc.firewall to contain approximately the following
#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo -n Firewall...
Flush All Chains And Pipes
/sbin/ipfw -q -f flush
/sbin/ipfw -q -f pipe flush
lo0 ###
/sbin/ipfw -q add 1 allow ip from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 via lo0
public #
/sbin/ipfw -q add 2 divert natd all from any to any in recv fxp0 #change
fxp0 to your NIC name
/sbin/ipfw -q add 3 divert natd all from any to any out xmit fxp0
#change fxp0 to your NIC name

# /sbin/ipfw -q add 65527 deny icmp from any to ${LocalNET}
# /sbin/ipfw -q add 65528 deny icmp from ${LocalNET} to any
/sbin/ipfw -q add 65529 allow icmp from any to any

/sbin/ipfw -q add 65530 deny log all from any to any ipopt rr
/sbin/ipfw -q add 65531 deny log all from any to any ipopt ts
/sbin/ipfw -q add 65532 deny log all from any to any ipopt ssrr
/sbin/ipfw -q add 65533 deny log all from any to any ipopt lsrr
/sbin/ipfw -q add 65534 deny log all from any to any

it should work. if not, ufff... than you will have to rebuild the FBSD

Re: Help! Is this an attack or a virus? Qmail on FBSD is flooding
G'day Vitali, Thanks for your advice I'll look into it I was thinking about it last night and figured that there must be messages in the Q. A quick check showed that one such message was Qd to send a couple of jpgs to dozens of CCd addresses! That does look like a virus on one of my internal clients...(using their address book) What say you? why not a virus? if so, then look at the From: field. knowing your user and what machine he/she is working at localize the machine and clean it, that's not a problem. by the way how do your clients send mail? Since my clients can't send mail but to themselves on this very same server until they take their mail from the pop3 server (I use tcpserver, vpopmail supervised by svscan). Until the users authorize on the pop3 they can't send any mail (dynamic relaying). As soon as they're authorized they are granted permission for 20 minutes to send mail. In 20 minutes (unless their email clients automatically jerk the pop3 server every 5 or so minutes) the relaying permition for the client's IP is nulled. the moral of the fable is: viruses can't make e-mail client application tease the pop3 every 5 minutes, nor authorize on pop3, but some of the clever viruses can send mail even if the e-mail client application is closed (Exited from, I mean)... and what if the relay were closed for the IP where the virus lives? if it's open i can cat /path/to/vpopmail/etc/open-smpt 10.1.1.36:allow,RELAYCLIENT=,RBLSMTPD= 1058539366 10.1.1.12:allow,RELAYCLIENT=,RBLSMTPD= 1058539411 10.1.1.5:allow,RELAYCLIENT=,RBLSMTPD= 1058539321 10.1.1.22:allow,RELAYCLIENT=,RBLSMTPD= 1058538971 and localize all the IP's of the clients who are actively using mail server now. whithout guesswork...
