kern_jail_set() Error Scenario Question
We ran into the following scenario in an application recently and were
wondering if the behavior of kern_jail_set() is as expected here.
This was an application bug where we were in, say, the JID 1 context
and tried to call jailparam_set() with the flags (JAIL_CREATE |
JAIL_UPDATE) and the jid param set to 1. The basic idea was to
create or update JID 1 with some params, but the error was we were
already in the JID 1 context. So, our understanding is this shouldn't
work since JID 1 already exists and you can only modify it from a
proper ancestor.
However, rather than getting an error back from jailparam_set(), it
ended up creating a second prison with JID 1, so there were two
prisons existing with JID 1 at that point. This is based on 8.2.0
code, but, at first glance, it looks like the logic causing this may
be the same in head.
Looking at kern_jail_set(), what happens here is:
1. We find a prison with JID=1, however since it's not a proper child
we set pr = NULL in line 1024:
1011 pr = prison_find(jid);
1012 if (pr != NULL) {
1013 ppr = pr-pr_parent;
1014 /* Create: jid must not exist. */
1015 if (cuflags == JAIL_CREATE) {
1016 mtx_unlock(pr-pr_mtx);
1017 error = EEXIST;
1018 vfs_opterror(opts, jail %d
already exists,
1019 jid);
1020 goto done_unlock_list;
1021 }
1022 if (!prison_ischild(mypr, pr)) {
1023 mtx_unlock(pr-pr_mtx);
1024 pr = NULL;
1025 } else if (pr-pr_uref == 0) {
2. Since pr is NULL, we create a new prison. Since the jid is not
zero, we insert it in the list and set its pr_id. At this point, we
have two prisons with a JID of 1 and the same parent prison.
1166 /* If there's no prison to update, create a new one and
link it in. */
1167 if (pr == NULL) {
...
1185 pr = malloc(sizeof(*pr), M_PRISON, M_WAITOK | M_ZERO);
1186 if (jid == 0) {
...
1212 } else {
1213 /*
1214 * The jail already has a jid (that did
not yet exist),
1215 * so just find where to insert it.
1216 */
1217 TAILQ_FOREACH(tpr, allprison, pr_list)
1218 if (tpr-pr_id = jid) {
1219 TAILQ_INSERT_BEFORE(tpr,
pr, pr_list);
1220 break;
1221 }
1222 }
...
1229 pr-pr_parent = ppr;
1230 pr-pr_id = jid;
We wanted to see if this is per design or a situation that should
avoid creating the second prison and return an error.
Thanks,
Matt

Looking for info on how to install and configure suPHP on FreeBSD 8
Hello, I apologize if there is an easy spot to find this, but I'm looking for some instructions on implementing suPHP on FreeBSD 8 with Apache. The server is currently in production and I'd like to convert it from running PHP files as an Apache module and instead as cgi with suPHP for security and for some issues that crop up with file and directory ownership with Joomla and other CMS platforms. I have done quite a bit of searching and cannot find just a step by step installation guide of any kind for FreeBSD. I can find my way around FreeBSD pretty well, but am by no means an expert user, hence why a guide would be perfect.

It sounds like your /boot/zfs/zpool.cache file still has the pool
listed. I can't find definitive documentation to this end, but I
think zpool export pool name might remove the entry from the zpool
cache.
If that still doesn't work (and you haven't yet put another filesystem
on those disks), you might get buy with using dd to wipe the first and
last several MB of the disk/partitions that had been in the pool. Of
course, if the disks have already been re-used or removed, then zfs
shouldn't be finding them when it scans the device nodes.
Hope this helps,

Using this tutorial as a guide: http://www.aisecure.net/2011/11/28/root-zfs-freebsd9/ When I built my ZFS-root system, I did most of these things, except I had a slightly different setup for the root filesystem itself. What I did is akin to: # zpool import -o altroot=/target -o cachefile=/tmp/zpool.cache zroot # zfs set mountpoint=/ zroot # cp -a /tmp/zpool.cache /target/boot/zfs/zpool.cache I did not manually set mountpoints for anything but the root filesystem. It sounds like manually-set mountpoints are the way most people do it, but you can try to clear the mountpoints by doing: # zfs inherit mountpoint zroot/fs for each filesystem in your root pool. I created a boot and a freebsd-zfs partition on each drive. Then I created a raid1z pool using all 4 drives. I followed the rest of the tutorial exactly and ensured that I copied the zpool.cache to boot/zfs. When I try to boot my new system, it all goes fine up until it's time to mount zfs:zroot. It fails with an error 2 unknown filesystem error. I don't know if this means anything but at the mountfrom prompt, the system will not accept any keyboard input. Same keyboard works fine when booted into LiveCD. I had that same problem with mine for a while, and it turned out that importing with the altroot option implies cachefile=none; until I realized I needed to also specify cachefile=/some/path, I had accidentally ended up with a /boot/zpool.cache that didn't actually reference any zpools. Unfortunately because I can't figure out how to get a LiveCD type environment with sshd running, I can't copy and paste exact error messages or command outputs. I was using PXE/NFS booting to install this machine, so unfortunately I can't help you here. I've searched and the two things that seem to be important are that there's a zpool.cache file and that the zfs partitions are correct. A 'gpart show -l' shows my partitions something close to this: 34 big number ada0 GPT (456G) 34 128 1 null (128K) 162 big number 2 disk0 (456G) What have I done wrong and what do I need to do to get my zfs:zroot pool mounted as root? It sounds like you're almost there! My guess is that the cache file is what is missing/incorrect. Reading over some man pages, make sure you don't do a zpool export before you copy the cache file; exporting the array removes it from the cache and/or deletes the cache file entirely. If you end up with a LiveCD that lets you copy these things, it might help to see # zpool list -o name,altroot,cachefile # zpool status # zfs list -o name,mountpoint,mounted Hope some of this helps. -- Matt Mullins ___ 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

Re: carp(4) on FreeBSD 8.2
I've used carp very successfully in the past, both in the standard mode and ARP load-balancing mode, to build fail-over sets of firewalls. It worked well enough that one of our firewalls was down for a week before we noticed (and none of our clients did). I just did a mock-up of your scenario on a system at home (using the GENERIC kernel), and it seemed to work for me. I see you have a managed switch; you might see if some features like port security are disabled for that port. What is even more strange, tcpdump on le0 does not even see ICMP echo requests addressed to 10.14.134.99. That is strange. You might try tcpdump -nevvv -i interface host 10.14.134.99 on the sending system and see if it's even sending the packets at all. If there's a remote chance that something else is using carp or VRRP on that network, you might try using a different VHID.

PAM configuration to allow passwords from both Unix and Kerberos
For my systems, the canonical source of authentication information is a Kerberos server, but I also want to support old-fashioned Unix passwords for a handful of users (including myself) just in case the Kerberos system is unreachable. I'm having a bit of trouble adjusting to the semantics of FreeBSD's PAM configuration, it seems. The following is what I have tried in /etc/pam.d/sshd: auth optional pam_deny.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass auth sufficient pam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass This does what I want: tries Unix authentication, and for most users, then goes and tries Kerberos authentication. However, it also seems to allow access if the module does something other than success or failure: I hit ^D at the SSH password prompt and it grants me access! Adding debug to these lines doesn't seem to get anything additional logged, so I'm actually not sure why PAM ends up with a success code somewhere. I flipped this logic around and did: auth sufficient pam_unix.so no_warn auth sufficient pam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass auth required pam_deny.so This does exactly what I want for services like sudo, that just use pam_authenticate(), but since sufficient is equivalent to optional in pam_setcred(), sshd fails all authentications with: Dec 9 15:05:18 boron-shell sshd[66617]: fatal: PAM: pam_setcred(): failed to retrieve user credentials I am completely stumped how to get this behavior working for both pam_authenticate and pam_setcred calls.

FreeBSD 9.0-RC1 and DTrace Userland Probes
I upgraded my box so that I can rock the userland DTrace probes. I have been
following the example at: http://wiki.freebsd.org/DTrace/userland
When I am ready to build my test probe, I run 'make' as the example shows. The
result of that is the following:
cc -O2 -pipe -fno-omit-frame-pointer -std=gnu99 -fstack-protector -c test.c
cc -O2 -pipe -fno-omit-frame-pointer -std=gnu99 -fstack-protector -o test
test.o
test.o: In function `main':
test.c:(.text+0x29): undefined reference to `__dtrace_prober___probe__before'
test.c:(.text+0x45): undefined reference to `__dtrace_prober___probe__after'
*** Error code 1
Same idea as the example, but I just changed the names around. Well, so I
thought I would be smart and compile just the object file with:
dtrace -G -s prober.d
And that stalls. `truss` is showing that dtrace is stalling after a mmap, with
what looks to be a valid returned address.
/* provider.d */
provider prober {
probe probe__before(char *);
probe probe__after(char *);
};
/* test.c */
#include unistd.h
#include sys/time.h
#include provider.h
int main(void)
{
struct timeval tv;
for ( ;; )
{
sleep(1);
PROBER_PROBE_BEFORE(foo);
gettimeofday(tv, NULL);
PROBER_PROBE_AFTER(bar);
}
return 0;
}
Any insight would be wonderful.

RE: much to my surprise.... [ now trending #OT ]
*Finally*, i saw that my telco router was displaying INT in red LED's. i didn't know they displayed in any other color but the default green, but after power-cycling, voila! back to green. and now, yes, i can ping freebsd.org. and i'm pretty sure other network things will work too. The Mark I eyeball is an amazing tool. I recently had a HDSL link provided by my telco go down. I happened to be 2 hours away from the facility at the time. Tech support said the problem was the router because they couldn't get to it, and they just wouldn't believe me that it was up. (I could ping it from the inside via the secondary network connection.) So after I drove to the facility, I noticed that the HDSL modem (which is line-powered from some box on the street) had no lights. Ahah! 28 hours later (sigh) they found a blown circuit breaker somewhere. snip but i've been doing this for a while, and until i was away for five days, everything had been going fine for over a month. oh:: one power-out. the UPS saved the server, but everything else needed to be reinitialized. A lesson that I learned many years ago - if you can afford a big UPS for your servers, you can afford a little one for your telco/network equipment. -- Matt Emmerton ___ 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

I might put ssh onto a different port, that would at least stop the sort of fishing I am currently seeing. It's not clear if that would be good enough. @Damien Fleuriot Have you had success with sshguard? Installed it from ports, but then I couldn't quite figure out how to configure it. To be honest, I didn't give it much of a chance before I moved on to the next thing, so if you've had good luck then I should probably give it another shot. I did flip through sshd_config, but as far as I can tell it is only possible to limit the number of concurrent connections.

The number of console programs that want to pull in X window or kde is my boggling. Hmmm... The only one I remember being that way is the old cvsup, but there was nocvsup-nogui (or -nox11?). Over the years I've found that ghostscript and gd are two common culprits. Every time I see a webserver with X11 on it, it's because of these two. Of course, using ghostscript*-nox11 as well as setting WITHOUT_X11=yes solves a lot of this mess, but on a system that's already been infested, it's easier just to rebuild from scratch.

Is /boot updated by make installkernel or by make installworld ?
Background I'm running a ZFS FreeBSD-STABLE system on Western Digital 2TB EARS models green drives. These are the so called Advanced Format Drives that use a 4KiB block size internally but lie about this to the operating system and claim to use 512 byte blocks. This causes all sorts of performance issues so after some experimentation I ended up creating my ZFS pool directly on gnop 4KiB block size devices on top of the raw disks themselves. To avoid having to run a separate boot disk, I've used a work around of a 1GB USB stick which contains just /boot with the /boot/kernel directory containing only kernel, opensolaris.ko, zfs.ko aio.ko (for samba 3.4 using async I/O). This requires only 14MB on the USB stick and boots nicely with the USB /boot/loader.conf telling the kernel to mount root from the ZFS pool. P.S. Don't forget to use DOS wdidle3 to increase the 8 second head parking timeout up to 5 minutes with these drives. Now how to update the system ? My update world script follows the recommended procedure in the source Makefiles for updating the system and does an install kernel before rebooting into single user mode to install the new world (via an /etc/rc.d/ script). So my question relates to when I should update my USB stick's /boot directory. I'm assuming that the /boot directory should be owned by the kernel and could be updated by a make installkernel (which is what I do after building the world but before my reboot into single user to install the world). Is my assumption correct ? i.e. does a make installkernel replace the contents of /boot ? or is /boot updated by a make installworld ?

I know there's not much I can do about the brute force attacks, but will upgrading openssh avoid these stuck connections?

Have you upset anyone recently? Not that I know of - unless my wife counts :) Can you not move your services to non standard IP ports, moving away from the standard ports, where all the script kiddies bots hang out, or are your clients cast in concrete? Right now, they are cast in concrete. I want to move many of them to public keys, so maybe I will change the port at the same time too. I've got FTP, Web and SSH systems running on two sites, on very non standard ports, with next to no one trying to get in as a result, but maintaining full visibility to the clients that need them, and know where they are! All my standard ports (80, 21, 22 etc) show as non existant to the outside world, except on one site, where the mail server is continualy getting hammered, but the site's ISP say they cant forward mail to any other port. I have two servers on the same IP block, and one is getting brute-forced and the other is not. I guess it's just a matter of time before the botnets seek it out.

Awhile back, we built a simple app for posting bounties, getting devs and sponsors on board, posting the committed code in a browser viewable format, and then handle final payout upon completion. iXsystems is more than willing to handle financial details and I would gladly be the first to sponsor this project on the site. http://www.sponsorbsd.org We would need a team leader *cough* Ivan *cough* that could make sure developing contributors are actually involved so that the final payoff can be shared accordingly. It's a cakephp app and I'm sure it needs a bit more polish but we could do it on the fly and it shouldn't be to hard :) Any cakephp or php devs interested in helping testing and launch, let me know. I just haven't had much time to spend on launching it although I still think it's a great idea. If somebody would like to spearhead this effort, that would be great. For companies wishing to sponsor non-community code, it also has the option of hiding the community committed code. best, -matt ___ 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

You have:

sa-compile is installed by the SA port, but it requires devel/re2c,
which is an optional dependency. With a standard install your script
will update the rules, the compile will unconditionally fail, and so
spamd won't get restarted.
You could detect the re2c port, but I think it would be better to turn
it off by default
I'd also suggest running sa-compile with nice by default.
I've put up a set of diffs (patches) in shar format that address some of
these issues:
1) re2c is listed as a run dependency. No two ways around it - if you do
plan on running sa-compile at some time, you'll need re2c, and chances are
that the machine that is running sa-update is also going to be running
sa-compile.
2) sa-compile is nice(1)'d by default, and you can provide other flags to
nice(1) as well.

pf in FreeBSD 8.0-RCx
Hello All, There seems to be an issue with pf (at startup/boot time) where I get an error message about no IP address being associated with an interface. The only way I can get pf to load the rule set is to load it at the command line by using pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf. I have tried changing the startup order of pf so that it loads after all of the networking interfaces are brought up (including running the ppp daemon first to establish tun0) to no avail. I saw on the list that others have been experiencing a similar issue. Obviously, I would like to have a fix for this because if I have to reboot my box from a distant location, I am left with a wide open machine until I can login and reload the pf ruleset. What changed with pf since 7.2?

Re: Rebuild instructions for amd64 systems
Hi Richard, Kernel recompilation part of the handbook is fairly straightforward and should walk you through step-by-step without any snags: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html Just remember to use amd64 instead i386 in the examples @ the link above. You will need full source tree to play with kernel (sysinstall to the rescue if you don't). Disclaimer - the below worked for me multiple times and may or may not work for you. If you decide to follow the steps outlined below and it breaks your box, spills your coffee or converts the datacenter into a recycling center, you are responsible for it and I cannot be held accountable in any way. In other words - use at your own risk. The way I do it (6.0-RELEASE) - at this point you must be root: cd mkdir kernels cd /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf cp GENERIC ~/kernels/GENERIC.ORIG cp GENERIC NEWKERNEL vim NEWKERNEL, search for ident GENERIC and change to NEWKERNEL then, add the following line below all other 'options' lines: options PAE # large memory (4G) support then, find and comment out these two lines to avoid a conflict with PAE: device adv # Advansys SCSI adapters device adw # Advansys wide SCSI adapters I am not sure about the Advansys conflict in versions newer than 6.0. A total of 4 lines to edit on of my stock 6.0-RELEASE GENERIC kernel. Then: cd /usr/src make buildkernel KERNCONF=NEWKERNEL if compiles, install: make installkernel KERNCONF=NEWKERNEL once that's done, reboot and you should see your new kernel Here's a diff from my 6.0: [r...@banksy /usr/src/sys/i386/conf]# diff BANKSYPAE GENERIC 25c25 ident BANKSYPAE --- ident GENERIC 65c65 optionsPAE # 2006-12-12 Large memory support ma...@bmihosting.com --- 96,97c96,97 # conflicts with PAE deviceadv # Advansys SCSI adapters # conflicts with PAE deviceadw # Advansys wide SCSI adapters --- device adv # Advansys SCSI adapters device adw # Advansys wide SCSI adapters Good luck.

MySQL 5.0 on FreeBSD 7
Hi all, About a year ago, I setup MySQL 5.0.45 on a FreeBSD 6.x box (64 bit). I read at the time that the use of pthreads with FreeBSD would significantly improve performance, but as I was running the 64 bit version of FreeBSD, I could not use them. Fast forward to today - a different setup and new opportunity has allowed me to research this combination again. This time, some reading I have done on the use of FreeBSD 7 with MySQL has shown significant performance increases, but none of them really mention in detail how MySQL was setup. I decided to install a 64 bit version of FreeBSD 7.x (to address the 8 GB RAM in the box) and attempt to build with pthreads enabled, as well as a static build and optimized compiler options. Once again, got the error/warning in ports that the linux pthreads only works with the i386 32 bit setup. So I'm wondering if anyone here has successfully seen a MySQL 5.x performance boost with FreeBSD 7 compared to that of FreeBSD 6 on a 64 bit architecture, and if so, what they did to enable that boost. Thanks! -Matt ___ 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
Re: MySQL 5.0 on FreeBSD 7
You're confusing linux-threads with pthreads. The performance boosts mentioned are done using the FreeBSD Posix threads (pthreads) library, in FreeBSD 7.x they are implemented using libthr(3). The benchmarks also assume you are using SCHED_ULE, rather then SCHED_4BSD. Nothing should be configured if you run GENERIC later then 7.0-RELEASE. Mel, So, from a standard FreeBSD 7.x install: - Recompile kernel to use SCHED_ULE - In the port, use: BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes - In the port, use: WITH_PROC_SCOPE_PTH=yes - In the port, use: BUILD_STATIC=yes And that should be it? So the libpthread they discuss in the description for WITH_PROC_SCOPE_PTH is different than the linux pthreads? -M ___ 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

Re: Secondary DNS or BSD Server space
Everyone: We just got word that Neustar, which bought DNS service provider Nominum a few years ago, is shutting down Nominum's secondary.com service. The service used to provide secondary DNS for users' zones at no charge. I and the other secondary.com users I know think it's reasonable for the company to charge a small but reasonable fee for the service instead of keeping it running for free. But alas, Neustar is getting greedy. The only alternative they offer is a $50-a-month managed DNS service, which we don't want or need. (We're fine maintaining our own master servers and zones; we just need a slave to use as a secondary.) So, we're looking for alternatives. Does anyone on this list know of a good, BSD-based service which offers reasonably priced secondary DNS? Or reasonably priced servers at a server farm, where I and others can set up a secondary DNS server? There was a thread on this just the other day here. Not sure if they are BSD-based, but both dyndns.org and zoneedit.com offser secondary service for practically nothing. -- Matt Emmerton ___ 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

Re: Re: Installing gimp from ports, need a GTK+, what port is it

Last night I upgraded GTK 2.something using portupgrade and that was the last package the gimp was complaining about. gimp completed the install last night just fine. I was confused about what was the right package because the gimp install was saying that the gtk+ package wasn't present, but the only thing listed as gtk+ was a theme management package when doing a pkg_info. I'm hoping for some clarification on something. Is GTK+ a subset of GTK 2.x? Are they one in the same? If so, why are they known by two different names if they are the same thing?
