ftp user setup question

2005-11-04 Thread Chip Wiegand
I just enable ftp on my web server, I have added the user to the ftpchroot 
file. When I set up the user the users home directory has the default dot 
files - is there a way to set those to hidden so when the user logs in he 
doesn't see them? I would prefer to keep all dot file hidden so there is 
no chance they can get messed with, or worse, deleted by the user.
Thanks,

Re: screwy network/dmz problem

 The first thing I would check is that it's the BSD box that you are
 actually pinging.  I'd try unplugging it and trying the ping again from
 the IIS box.  Barring that, I would double and triple check the network
 mask on the BSD box.  Also, make sure you don't have some screwy 
firewall
 rules on the BSD server that prevent outbound pings.
 Next, look at the output of 'netstat -rn'

Results of netstat -rn:
destination gateway flags   refsuse netif
default157.237.165.1   ugs   0  122 fxp0

157.237.165.1  00:02:b3:a4:c2uhlm1   0  fxp0

 You should see entries for the default gateway as well as your local
 network.  If all looks good there, check your arp table with arp -a. 

Results of arp -a:
?(157.237.165.1) at 00:02:b3:bd:c2 on fxp0 [ethernet]
?(157.237.165.2) at 00:0d:61:70:df on fxp0 [ethernet]
?(157.237.165.4) at 00:eo:18:c2:12 on fxp0 [ethernet]

 If you don't see anything there, it's probably a layer 1 or 2 problem
 (cabling/vlan).

There are 3 boxes on the dmz -
157.237.165.2 is the IIS box. It gets no ping reply from the BSD box and 
the firewall. It does get a reply from the win2003 box. It has full 
internet access. It is a current, working, 'live' web server for 
authorized users only.
157.237.165.4 is a WIN2003 box and it gets ping responses from the IIS box 
and the BSD box, no response from the firewall, and no internet access.
157.237.165.5 is the BSD box, gets a ping response from the IIS box only, 
no response from the win2003 box, or firewall, and no internet access.
(157.237.165.1 is the firewall dmz nic itself, the gateway for all 3 
boxes)

I'm guessing that there is a rule on the firewall that has closed the 
internet connection for these two additional boxes. The IIS was the first 
to be set up a year of so ago. There must also be a rule on the firewall 
that drops all incoming ping requests.
Questions from the above:
Why does BSD box get reply from the IIS box, yet the IIS box get no reply 
from the BSD box?
Why does the IIS box get reply from the Win2003 box, yet not from the BSD 
box?

All 3 boxes have the same network setup, except for this: There is no 
'domain' for the 3 boxes. The IIS box is on its own workgroup DMZ, the 
win2003 box is its own domain 'test.local'. The BSD box has 'domain 
simrad.com' as the first line of resolv.conf. What are the implications of 
this?

I will be sending a message to the firewall administrator in Norway (I am 
in the US) with the info above, maybe he can find something on the 
firewall to change to make everything work.
I hope.
Regards,
Chip

it

unable to ping out of a new install

2005-03-29 Thread Chip Wiegand
I just installed 5.3 on a laptop and am able to ping it, but it cannot 
ping anything else. When I enter the ping ipaddress command the curser 
moves down a line then nothing. It doesn't even time out. Just nothing. 
The box will reply to a ping from another box on the network though. Is 
there something new in 5.3 that I have to do to allow it to send a ping?

Yes, that is how I configured it to begin with. No DHCP for this 
particular network, only 3 computers - dmz (on the firewall), and two 
computers. They all ping each other and reply to each other just fine, 
EXCEPT that the BSD box will not ping out to the other boxes. It WILL

cvsup won't connect

I have tried more than 6 cvsup mirrors and cannot get a connection to any 
of them. The message is simple enough - Cannot connect to 
cvsup2.FreeBSD.org: Connection refused Will retry at 09:00:00
Does cvsup use some non-standard port to connect thru? (The manual doesn't 
touch on this.) If so, the problem is probably the company firewall.

installed, mysql-client installed, but apache2 and mysql-server failed. I 
get this message when I tried mysql4.1.5  - 

Add of package mysql-client-4.1.5 aborted, error code 1 - Please check the 
debug screen for more info
press OK
Loading of dependent package mysql-client-4.1.5 failed

and the same message when trying apache2.0.50_3.

I don't know how to view the debug screen so can't provide any more info

No -- don't do that.  Shlib version numbers are changed for a reason.

Instead either install the misc/compat4x port or else set COMPAT4X=yes
in /etc/make.conf and rebuild your world.  This will let you run apps
compiled for 4.x on a 5.x system.
 

I'm only running 4.9: I assume you're on 5.x if you have a higher file

Yes -- for libc the shlib version number is the same as the major

Somehow you managed to install a FreeBSD 4 package onto a FreeBSD 5
system.  pkg_delete it, then run pkg_add -r ghostview to fetch the
correct package from ftp.freebsd.org, or cd into
/usr/ports/print/ghostview and run make install if you want to build
it yourself.
 

Still one problem with doing that - after pkg_delete ghostview and 
pkg_add -r ghostview I get these errors -
cannot find ghostscipt in your path - install your favorite version of 
ghostscript, otherwise the program is useless
warning: package 'ghostview-1.5 ' requires 'imake-4.3.0' but found

 OK, so you can be reasonably sure your ISP is blocking port 25.  You

Thanks Chuck, and the others with the same suggestion. I've set that

into my current web server box, running RedHat, and sent a message from 
the cli mail and watched the messages, and did the same on the FreeBSD box 
(which will replace the Linux box soon as mail works). Look at the two 
sections below, notice the lines 250 in each section - they are the 
reverse of each other. The message sent from the Linux box went through to 
its destination, but not the message from the FreeBSD box. The Linux box 
had no configuring done to make it send mail out. I have set up previous 
versions of FreeBSD, all the way back to 3.0, and have never had to do any 
configuring to get any to send mail out. It has always just worked, 
including a previous setup here in this office connected to the same 
network. So I'm wondering what has changed in 5.1 to cause this problem, 
if anything. Or is it just a bad install?

On the Linux box -

freebsd-test list?

2003-11-07 Thread chip . wiegand
I am trying to send test messages to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list but 
they never show up. I subscribed to the list just to see if my mail server 
is working. I've sent messages from several machines through differant 
mail servers, and none show up. Does that list even work at all?

Forget it, one test message has finally appeared, just took quite a while. 
Unfortunately it's not from the FreeBSD box I'm trying to get to send

Anymore help out there? Re: mail never gets sent

2003-11-06 Thread chip . wiegand
I've got to get this working. The suggestion that DNS is not working right 
can't be correct, I can browse the web and do traceroutes to named sites 
without a problem. The emails sent from the command line mail never arrive 
at the destination. I don't know what to check/fix to make it work. At the 
bottom is all the screen messages of a mail and traceroute.
TIA,

 Does your host have forward and reverse dns working correctly and they 
match? 

I don't know how to verify this.

 Mail servers often reject mail coming from machines without proper dns 
entries.  DNS   not working right means much more than just can i resolve 
a site on the box.

 The timeouts look suspicious. Is your upstream blocking outgoing SMTP
 connections (perhaps in an attempt to stop spam)? A quick way to check
 would be to:
 
 telnet mx4.mail.yahoo.com smtp
 
 No response would mean that someone is blocking you out (either
 upstream or the receivers).
 
 Cheers.

sshd running. I have a workstation running W2K with WinSCP3. I have tried 
Puttygen to 
create the keys and copied the key to .ssh directory on FBSD, renamed it 
authorized_keys
but it don't work. I then ran ssh_keygen on the BSD box, but don't know 
what to do with the 
two files it created, there are no instructions about that part in the man 
file. Does anyone
have a how-to on settup of ssh between w2k and fbsd?
Thanks,

traceroute works - ping doesn't

2003-10-22 Thread chip . wiegand
I just installed FreeBSD-5.1 this morning and noticed I couldn't access 
the internet.
I tried to ping a web site but got no response. I ran traceroute and after 
a minute or
so got a complete traceroute. Any idea why I can't ping but can 
traceroute? I am
unable to run make install to install ports because it doesn't connect.

Re: traceroute works - ping doesn't

2003-10-22 Thread chip . wiegand
Appears the remote firewall admin has made a change and didn't inform us - 
the icmp port
has been closed. I tried to install Apache earlier today, first app 
install on this particular box,
but it failed. Every server it tried to download from resulted in no 
access, not found message.
I just tried again, and it finally found a server to download from after 
trying a long list of them.
I used port_install this last time. It appears to be going okay now.

 They are using firewall (ICMP blocking).
 Are you sure with the ports? Sometimes it takes a while.
 
 What about ftp ftp.freebsd.org?
 What is the output of this? ping a.root-servers.net

printing worked fine yesterday, today prints junk

2003-03-25 Thread chip wiegand
Yesterday, I was printing .jpg images just fine, from XV. Today I try to
print some more and all I get are pages with a little bit of junk on the
first line, many many pages like this. I reset the printer, clear the
queue, even unplug/plug in the usb cable. No good. 

Any ideas why this is?

No problem, see below. I will mention that I had no problem with any of

mirror remote web server, no ftp, how?

2003-02-27 Thread chip . wiegand
I will be sending my web server out to be co-located, and keeping a second 
box here
in my office. I want to be able to make this local box a mirror of the 
live box. I don't 
want/need ftp running on these boxes. I have a third box for development, 
then upload
the new files to the live box. The local box is strictly a 
duplicate/backup of the live box.
I do use ssh and access them using scp and putty. I would like this to run 
on a daily
basis. Any ready-made apps available to do this? I didn't see anything in 
the ports.
Thanks,

 You probably built samba without the magic environment variable
 that causes it to skip CUPS.  That probably resulted in CUPS
 being installed.
 
 And the error message is because samba is *expecting* to connect to
 CUPS, but that is failing.  Thus, there is no CUPS process actually
 running.
 
 Re-check what makefile options you have when building the samba port.

Thanks, I reinstalled samba with the No-cups option enabled and now 
the wife and kids are happily printing, and not bugging me anymore. ;)

openssh - i'm confused

I am setting up a web server to be co-located at my isp's office. I am setting up

identity, identity.pub and authorized_keys in the .ssh directory in my home directory. 
I have copied the file identity.pub to my w2k box and renamed it to identity.ppk

Re: dual-boot question

2003-01-07 Thread chip wiegand
So, I reinstalled w2k, first trying the repair option, which doesn't
provide the option to change the file system format from ntfs to fat,
then did a complete reinstall, formatting in fat32. Guess what? It did
not overwrite the boot sector, the original freebsd boot menu is still
there and still works. In fact, previously, it showed two questions
marks for the f1 option (w2k), now it shows dos for the f1 option. I
certainly wasn't expecting that.
Anyway, just thought I'd share that bit,  it was something of a surprise
to me, I expected it to overwrite the boot sector like all previos
versions of winblows.

 You can always boot from the FreeBSD installation CDROM and interrupt
 the loader at the `spinner' by pressing space.  You should see
 something like:
 
   FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
  Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
  boot:
 
 At the boot: prompt enter:
 
   0:ad(0,a)/kernel
 
 and the CDROM loader will boot from your disk.  Then, you can
 reinstall the FreeBSD boot manager on /dev/ad0 with:
 
   # boot0cfg -B /dev/ad0

  Scott,
  
  You would be referring to the bastardized linux thing called
  Lindows. We were interested in at work for a test and horked up the
  $99.00. What a waste!  Mandrake 9.0 is a better desktop distro.  It
  biggest selling point is that it's running Transmeta's  CPU's and
  it's only$350.00 for their high end device.  You'd be as well of
  with one of the mail stations since you'd at least get some support
  if something breaks.
 
  I know that the Sun reps at work all carry HP laptops loaded with
  Intel/Solaris.  They have told me that they normally load with disks
  burned from the ISO's on their own web site (freely downloadable)
  with out any problems.  This leads me to think that your odds of
  having unix drivers for the device available would be rather high.

  doesn't work. I probably have to make some change to the XF86Config
  file? Here is the section for the pointer as it is for my current
  usb logitech trackman mouse -
  
  Section InputDevice
  Identifier  Mouse0
  Driver  mouse
  Option  Protocol MouseSystems
  Option  Device /dev/sysmouse
  Option  ZAxisMapping X
  Option  ZAxisMapping Y
  Option  ZAxisMapping N1 N2
  EndSection
  
  Even with this setup the scroll wheel does not work. So, with the
  new mouse I'd like the scroll wheel to work as well. Hope someone
  can
 point
  me in the right direction.

   Betreff: wireless optical mouse useable in freebsd?
  
   I just received this micro$oft wireless optical mouse for
   christmas from my son, and am wondering if anyone knows if it will
   work in freebsd 4.7? I haven't tried it yet. It is both usb and
   ps2. Thanks,

Appears the problem may well be with sharity-light. I used smbclient to
access the shared drive and it appears I can now see all the files. But,
I cannot verify this for certain, because I can't list the directory a
page at a time, or get a total number of files or kbytes used,  using
smbclient. Anyone know how to do that?

samba fails - port already in use problem

I just installed samba from the ports and set up the smb.conf file by,
initially,  setting only the workgroup name to match my home network.
I then tried to start samba but it fails with these messages -

Re: Xfree86 Setup problem continued with changes

It's working now, I did have to set the HorizSync and VertRefresh

 For what it's worth, I had a similar problem.
 First, I think you need the vertical and horizontal frequencies in the
 
 Monitor section-
 Mine is:
 HorizSync   30.0 - 95.0
 VertRefresh 50.0 - 160.0
 
 This is specific to my kSony Trinitron MultiscanE500 - Yours will be
 different. I found that the default Depth did nothing for me, so I
 didn't enter it. Then, you will have to experiment with the Depth and
 Mode settings until you get one that works - this may be dependent on
 the video memory of your card.
 I got mine to work with Depth 8 and Modes 1280x1024 1024x728 and
 Depth 16 and Modes 1280x1024 1024x728  ; my card is supposed to
 support 1600x1200 and depth of 24 (I think), but what the hell, it
 works quite well. Good luck,
 PJ
 
 Okay, I have X running in 640x480 or 320x240 modes.
 As you can see in the XFree86Config file below it is set
 to display at higher resolutions. I know the monitor will
 do it because the box dual-boots win2k and it runs the
 graphics at 1024x768/16bit.
 I added an old AGP video card, disabled the onboard video.
 Why is the system ignoring the settings for the screens?

 Note that the lines have (II), not (**).
 
 I suppose that if your monitor supports the I2C/DDC protocol (AKA
 PnP?), then X can get the Ranges as above and use it.  I had
 hand-entered the same numbers from the Monitor's spec sheet, so I
 don't know if it actually works automatically.

It supposedly supports DDC, but I guess it's a bit flakey. Anyway, I
manually set the parameters in the XF86Config file, now it's working
fine.

xfree question not answered on the xfree lists, maybe here?

2002-10-24 Thread Chip Wiegand
I put this on chat becuase it's a bit off topic, and it has yet to be
answered on the xfree lists. I just installed fbsd 4.7 on a new box, at
the prompt to configure the x server said no, and finished the install.
I then ran XFree86 -configure and copied the XFree86Config to /etc/X11/.
When I start X it starts okay except it will only run in 4 bit mode.
Even when I try to force it to 16 bit at the startx prompt, it will
default to 4. I tried to comment out the 4bit subsection the XFree will
only complain that it's not there and fail to load. I know the video
card and monitor will do 16 bit and 1024x768, it was on the previous
install, and the box dual-boots win2000, which is using that config. I
noticed there are no lines for modes in the screens subsections, so I
added one to the 16bit subsection, it only breaks X again. I've included
the XFree86Config at the bottom of this message.
Hopefully someone will be able to help me here. :)

Chip W

 Have you tried ignoring the complaint and finishing the FDISKing and

 Best regards,

I got it installed - first I created a 5gig partition and installed
win2000 (for games), then installed FreeBSD on the remaining 35gigs and
it had no complaint at all. I don't know why it didn't like the full

  Another common place to check is /tmp, unless, of course,
 it's mounted on it's own filesystem - as it probably should be.
 Technically, it's ok to get rid of kernel.GENERIC, but you probably
 don't want to do this.  kernel.GENERIC may get you out of a bind
 sometime if you have compiled your own kernel and for some reason it
 won't boot.  However, if you haven't built your kernel and you never
 plan to, and you are running the stock, generic kernel anyway you can
 probably delete kernel.GENERIC without too much risk.

 But, no matter what they try to tell you, 150 MB is awfully

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind tonight when I set up a new box
at home. :)

 At that size you would
 have to manage stuff pretty tightly.   The thing you would have
 to do is have a nice pristine system and do the du.  Then when
 it starts to fill up, do a new du and compare to see what has
 been growing.   Do you have logs going somewhere besides root?
 What about root's Email?   Do you do any tinkering as root that
 might leave some files around.  All these things can use up that
 little space quickly.

 Anyway, about the only things you can do are to look for files to delete
 or directories to move to a different partition with a sym-link and/or
 to redo your partitions to make root a little bigger (250MB at least)
 either on that disk or get a new bigger disk and start clean.

   This should tell you how much space each file/dir is using in /,
   excluding, the 'usr'.  Some  of  the other dirs are bound to be
   mounted filesystems, but ignore those.  Exluding 'usr' just saves
   a lot of time, as `du' doesn't have to calculate that beast of a
   filesystem.

 Or, looking at it a different way, 150 MB *used* to be
 really small, but is now quite big, because /var and /tmp
 should probably not be on it.

What's most interesting, I find, is that this machine get very little
use, it's primarily a backup of a web site on an isp's server, and
occasionally I'll copy files I'm working on to it via windoze network
neighborhood. I rarely actually log into the box, then only as user, so
even more rarely use the su account.

I have always symlinked /var and /tmp to /usr/var and /usr/tmp on my
setups.

what's up with /var/empty?

2002-10-23 Thread Chip Wiegand
I just finished installing 4.7 and want to move /var to /usr/var and
symlink it, but there is an empty subdirectory called empty
(/var/empty). It is not going away when I try to delete the /var
directory after moving it to /usr/var. It has permissions like this: 
dr-xr-xr-x root wheel 
Seems like I had to do something about a sticky bit, but don't recall
and can't find anything in the list archives about this.
Can someone remind me? And this time I'll write it down in my notebook.

quick help-new install complains about the hard drive geometry

2002-10-22 Thread Chip Wiegand
I am setting up a brand new system, has a 40gig hard drive. FBSD4.7 
complains about the geometry being incorrect, to use the G command
to change it. I did that, set it to exactly what the BIOS shows for
the drive, and it still claims the numbers are incorrect. What do I 
do now?

 Hi!
 I am long time BSD user and did not find answers for 2 questions, soI
decided
 to bother you (sorry)

 Question 1 - Midnight Commander and/or Gnomemc - what happened with this
 usefull utility, it does not install correctly under any condition,
although
 it says it works fine. Was it any changes done since 4.6.2 or it just
becuase
 of me? (I copied the problem on 2 PCs though)

 Question 2 - Mozilla? Did not find in ports at all, when downloaded
source
 from mozilla.org it did not even untared well (perhaps it their problem,
but
 why mozilla is not contributing in ports anymore?)

Mozilla is in the ports, both a native version and the linux version. In
category www. If you're looking for the package version on the cd's if I
recall
correctly it is on cd 3 or cd 4.

Re: natd not allowing incoming ftp connections, but web is okay

2002-10-18 Thread chip . wiegand
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 10/18/2002 03:24:47 AM:
snip
 That  is because of the nature of the FTP protocol. FTP uses
 two separate TCP connections: one for commands (port 21) and
 another  one for data (port 20). What's going on when client
 tries to establish the FTP session?

I tried from my office using wsftp, twice, once in active mode
and once in passive mode, both result in the following error:

! Can't get ftp://66.114.152.128/; host entry
! Connection failed ftp://66.114.152.128/

snip
 So  if  client  uses  active mode ftp you should not mention
 port  20  in redirect port directive (data channel will be
 aliased according to alias address directive):

 redirect_port tcp 192.168.1.14:21 21

 If client uses passive mode FTP then you probably should use
 two directives:

 redirect_port tcp 192.168.1.14:21 21
 redirect_port tcp 192.168.1.14:49152-65535 49152-65535

Is it okay to have all 3 of the above redirect lines? I changed
my natd.conf line for ftp to the first line above, and also added
the other two lines. Is that a problem?

snip
 Is /var/log/alias.log exists and has correct permissions?

It did exist, has two lines, but no error lines, so then I set the
permissions to 755, it still didn't get written to, then I changed
it to 777, still not getting written to.

 You may also try to log events via syslog using
 log_facility directive.

Would that fill the syslog full of natd/firewall messages? Sometimes
there are tons of messages.

A problem with printing from NT to FBSD

2002-10-10 Thread chip . wiegand

I have a fbsd-4.5 box acting as a print server for some NT servers and one 
NT workstation. I am having
problems printing. I was able to print one page after a reboot, then the 
subsequent pages all failed. On the 
NT boxes in the printer window when a job fails it shows 

Printing - printer busy or error

I check the queue on the fbsd box with lpc stat all and it is empty, and 
the printer and queue are enabled 
and ready.

I got this message on the console after trying a print job of just one 
page -

lpd[688]: lp: readfile: error on open(tfA101cwiegand.simdom): file exists

The tail of lpd-errs  looks like this -

Here's the if-simple file -

#!/bin/sh
printf \033k2G  cat  printf \033l0H  exit 0
exit 2

I hope someone can help with this (I'd hate to have to move the printer to 
the 
NT workstation).

4.7 installed but mouse refused to work in X

2002-10-10 Thread Chip Wiegand

I just got 4.7 installed and running, got XFCE installed but I cannot get my
doggone serial mouse to work in X. I have tried a couple differant mice,
same results. If I enable the moused daemon the pointer will jiggle around
a bit in X in the upper left corner, but not actually be useable. I have 
tried
just about every configuration possibility in XF86Config (from sysinstall)
but it just refuses to work. I tried both a Logitech 3 button serial and a
Mitsumi two button serial.
Any suggestions?

I've tried every one in the ports that calls itself a html editor, but
found them either unsatisfactory, incomplete or major memory hogs (I'm
using a amd k6-2/350, 394megs ram). I do web site development in Nedit,
it has syntax coloring for various languages, including html, javascript
and many more. I've also tried just about every editor in the ports, and
like Nedit the best.
