Re: Howto monitor system security
I've recently started using devialog (http://devialog.sourceforge.net/), which is pretty good at sending exceptions to you. Examlog (http://examlog.sourceforge.net/index.php) is by far the most popular that I've seen, but I have not had a chance to try it on FreeBSD. Lire (http://logreport.org/lire/) is a good all-around choice - it has built in recognition for many different types of logs, but I found it a bit hard to use. If you are comfortable with it, I'd try this one. I've heard of several companies that have part of the security monitoring built around logwatch (http://www2.logwatch.org:81/), but it takes a good amount of customizing to get it to where it's really useful.

[...] FreeBSD security email is rather anoying, because it keeps sending messages even if nothing has changed. I need an email sent to me only if there is something abnormal. What happens when someone breaks in and disables it from sending email? Think of it as a kind of heartbeat. Well, different minds work differently, but for me it adds vastly to the noise level. If everything is normal, I get a mail. If there is something wrong, I get a mail. A different one, for sure, but I have to actually read it to know. If I only get a mail in a special case, I am much more inclined to read it than if I get a mail every day for 300 days and on the 301st there is a mail with a warning.

Howto monitor system security
Sorry, it is a rather generic message, but the problem is a generic as well. I am running my FreeBSD machine on DMZ. I use ipfw and I expose http and smtp ports. I also expose sshd port, but only to a trusted network (work). I'd like to know what is the best way to monitor my machine security. FreeBSD security email is rather anoying, because it keeps sending messages even if nothing has changed. I need an email sent to me only if there is something abnormal. For example, I'd like to know if there is a significant change in network activity. My mailserver might be hijacked and is sending spam.

Re: Howto monitor system security
Sergei, As one of the other responses points out, it's possible that it would be too late by the time a monitoring system was able to send an email to you. One way to partly mitigate that risk is by having your logs forwarded to another system, and having the analysis run from that machine. You still run the risk of the attacker stopping the logs from being forwarded, but you will likely get *some* notice that something is wrong. There are many tools that will send alerts to you, but very few that will work out of the box, without some level of tuning. There is a collection of them here: http://www.syslog.org/Web_Links+index-req-viewlink-cid-4.phtml and here: http://www.syslog.org/Web_Links+index-req-viewlink-cid-19.phtml I am running my FreeBSD machine on DMZ.

FreeBSD security email is rather anoying, because it keeps sending messages even if nothing has changed. I need an email sent to me only if there is something abnormal. If you have portaudit installed, the daily security emails will include a section on vulnerable ports (software, not network) installed. This is really helpful, as it's hard to keep up with the latest vulnerabilities in all the software that a given system has to run. I think there tends to be a lag between the announcement of the vulnerability and portaudit knowing about it, though. Staying subscribed to the security lists for those applications you run is still a good idea.

Simplest way to find out if your mouse supports this is to kill the moused daemon, then issue the command: moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto -d -f and read the first line, it will print out the model of the mouse (for example MouseMan+) then move the wheel up and down should generate a stream of events on the console If moving the wheel generates nothing, buy a different mouse. usb and serial mice with wheels can be tested with the same procedure except change the port -p of course. 1. Must know ps2 bus : the ps/2 bus is mapped as /dev/psm0 /dev/psm0 : support only 'ps/2' protocol ( moused(8) ) moused : map /dev/psm0 as a virtual port to /dev/sysmouse (ie like /dev/ttyv0 is a virtual tty) X : work with the /dev/sysmouse virtual device as input device. xorg.conf : When setting up Protocol to Auto the protocol choosed by X is ps/2 which don't work for me (i don't know how to use a wheel with it without setting up parms for each apps) xorg.conf : setting up Protocol to sysmouse is the best way i find to use my wheel. /sysmouse/ work natively with xterm, Mozilla, and so on. No needs to change anything. You should NEVER set the protocol for the mouse in either Xfree86 or xorg to anything other than sysmouse, when using FreeBSD. And, if your going to run X you should -always- run moused. Per the man page if you use moused, ps/2 or auto are the only acceptable protocols that are allowed to be set for the ps/2 port. During the FreeBSD installation for 4.X you are asked to set these up. 2. Parameters /etc/rc.conf : moused -p /dev/psm0 -t ps/2 moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto is setup by the FreeBSD installation program and it will work just as well. Note - many wheel mice use a push on the wheel as a second button. /etc/X11/xorg.conf : Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse OptionProtocol sysmouse OptionDevice /dev/sysmouse OptionButtons 5 OptionZAxisMapping X This probably should be: OptionZAxisMapping 4 5 In fact, the only thing that generally needs to be added to this section is: OptionButtons 5 OptionZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection 3. Some tips Testing : 1 - kill the moused daemon 2 - set mouse on console : vidcontrol -m on 3 - launch moused on foreground to see if it's work : moused -f -p /dev/psm0 -t ps/2 4 - press ^C to end 5 - if result are ok, launch moused with your previous parms 6 - set up rc.conf xorg.conf as above. 7 - try to use a lightweight wm like IceWM or twm to test, it respect well X parms. For testing with twm: fill an xterm with text, scroll up and down. firefox also supports the scroll wheel. 4. Comments i don't know why, but logoff/login or reboot your computer in order to get this stuff working properly : first time i set this parms, they don't work.

Perhaps such is the nature of VPN. My goal is simply to allow users running Windows to VPN in to my home server and gain access to the private LAN. Sure, i can get in via ssh, but i have several less technical users who need to access to shared resources and for them, ssh is not a realistic solution.

FreeBSD HOWTO: Software Mirror System Disk
[ From http://dannyman.toldme.com/2005/01/24/freebsd-howto-gmirror-system/ ] A new feature of FreeBSD 5.3 is the ability to set up a software mirror of your system disk. This allows you to boot off either of a pair of hard disks, which will then function as a RAID1, which will ensure system uptime in the face of a single disk failure. As the documentation is a bit sketchy, heres a quick cheat sheet for setting this up with gmirror: (This crib sheet assumes you have a pair of identical IDE (in my case, SATA) drives identified as ad4 and ad6.) 1. Install FreeBSD on to ad4. 2. Reboot with the Install CD. 3. Enter Fixit mode, using Install CD disc2 as the live filesystem 4. # *chroot /dist* # *mount_devfs devfs /dev* # *gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad4* # *gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad6* # *mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt* # *echo geom_mirror_load=YES /mnt/boot/loader.conf* # *echo swapoff=YES /mnt/etc/rc.conf* 5. Edit /mnt/etc/fstab to convert ad4 - mirror/gm0 6. Reboot Thanks to the few dozen people who have come before me, and posted crucial hints to the mailing lists. Thanks also to Ralf S. Engelschall who has a far more verbose explanation of how to do this sort of thing with mis-matched disks. [See http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ ] http://people.freebsd.org/%7Erse/mirror/ You should definately look over the gmirror man page, and review the output of *gmirror list gm0* when swapping out drives. You can disable automatic rebuild, etc. It is quite nice.

RE: Howto check the hard disk bad sectors in FreeBSD?
Basically impossible. Your best bet is to go to the hard drive manufacturers website and see if they have a software program (often a DOS program) that you can boot off a floppy and do this to the hard drive. Or, if it's a SCSI disk you can often run a manufacturers program under DOS that talks to the SCSI card and will send the commands to the SCSI disk. Years ago with the old wd disk driver you could run bad144 and do this to ESDI and MFM drives. If you want to stress-test a hard disk then install and run one of the disk stressing programs in the ports collection.

Install CD howto and some amd64 issue
Hi, I've found a Japanese mirror, where some 5.0-STABLE packages can be found, and I'd like to build an own install disc, rather than using CVSup. Could You help me, please, how can I do that? I've got two reasons for building own install disc: 1, I'm going to administer an amd64 server with a RAID5 array and an MSI mainboard with nforce 3 250GB chipset, and unfortunately the official 5.3-RELEASE for amd64 doesn't boot on this machine. I don't know whether the chipset causes this issue or the 3ware 8xxx controller, but the loader stops at the line starting with [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course, I've written to the freebsd-hardware mailing list, but I haven't got any answers. I've also written to the 3ware, but the supporter was rather a lame guy, he haven't even understood, what my problem is. I've written to MSI, but the result is no answer. Finally, I decided to get a newer kernel somehow, maybe some kind of current kernel would work. I'd like to give a try to 5.0-CURRENT or 6.0-CURRENT, but in this case I can't use the CVSup, because the 5.3 kernel is useless on this machine, thus I haven't got anything to upgrade from. 2, I'd like to install 5.0-STABLE on some machines, and I don't want to upgrade so many times. An own standalone 5.0-CURRENT install disc would be much more convenient for me. And in trouble, when I had to reinstall the system, such a disc would be very useful. Thanks for Your help.

Does NAT Overloading only go one way??? Essentially, yes. What you're after is called 'port forwarding' (which is actually a class of tunnelling methods). What you can't do in the sort of setup you describe is ssh(1) to the gateway machine and have it connect you to some arbitrary machine on your internal network. The outside world doesn't know anything about the arrangement of your private network: which machine should the gateway box forward the incoming connection to? All it sees is a TCP syn packet sent to port 22 on its internet interface. Going the other way round -- where the internal machine initiates the connection -- works because you can match up the response 'ACK' packet to the outgoing 'SYN' packet In order to allow remote access to your private machines you've somehow got to introduce a mechanism to permit the gateway machine to know which of the internal machines you want to connect to. You can set up non-standard ports on the NAT gateway to forward connections to internal machines: eg. Port: Destination: -- 2201 192.168.0.1:22 2202 192.168.0.2:22 2203 192.168.0.3:22 (see natd(8) but a) you'ld have to do that for each service on each machine you want connectivity to, and b) it's not going to work in the specific case of ssh(1) specifically, because ssh(1) attempts to verify the identity of the host it connects to against the host keys presented to it during the SSH connection. Probably the easiest thing to do is log into your gateway machine via ssh(1) and then take a second hop from there to your internal machines. telnet(1) is generally a bad idea for security reasons. ping(8) which operates via ICMP echo request is completely out: ICMP doesn't have the concept of port numbers at all, so there's no way to clue the NAT gateway into which machine you want to communicate with.

There is 5-CURRENT, but that is the bleeding edge absolute latest development version of the OS, and as it's of no conceivable use except to system developers it doesn't have a package collection compiled for it. (OTOH, as you can probably use the packages for a similar OS version, the FTP sites do have a 'packages-5-current' sym-link to the packages-5.2-release directory). However, the packages for 5.2.1-RELEASE (or 4.10-RELEASE due any time now...) are updated at reasonably frequent intervals.

Where can I set its package repository, etc? Sysinstall(8) doesn't really have a config file in the way you mean. Sysinstall is designed for /installing the system/ (the clue is in the name) not as a general systems administration interface (although you can do some stuff with it along those lines). So the config file that sysinstall does have is more aimed at doing automated installion. There isn't a file that sysinstall will automatically check -- if you want to load a config file you have to either do it via the sysinstall Menu system, by setting 'LOAD_CONFIG_FILE' in the environment before you start sysinstall or by telling sysinstall the filename on the command line. Instead of sysinstall, try using the pkg_add(1) command -- the man page will tell you everything you need to know about how to use it.

USB mouse config, console X, micro HOWTO
I thought I would post the end results of my own struggle to get my USB trackball working as I prefer it to work, for the archives and for the benefit of anyone else struggling with this issue, although my particular configuration may be more, or less, relevant to someone else's hardware and preferences. Hardware USB trackball with left button, right button, and two small scroll buttons (one for up and one for down). It is a Logitech Marble Mouse USB (an optical trackball), and I really like the feel of it. What I wanted the mouse to do - It has only two primary buttons (buttons 1 (left) and 3 (right) and no middle button (button 2)), so I wanted to enable middle-button emulation so that when I pressed the left and right buttons simultaneously, it would be as though I had pressed a middle button (to do a paste function, for example). In addition, I wanted to use the mouse, somehow, to scroll the contents of windows when I was in the X environment (I use KDE). How I achieved my goals --- Here are the relevant exerpts from my /etc/rc.conf and /usr/X11R6/ lib/X11/XF86Config files -- --- begin excerpt, /etc/rc.conf --- moused_enable=YES moused_port=/dev/ums0 moused_type=auto moused_flags=-p /dev/ums0 -3 -w4 --- end excerpt, /etc/rc.conf --- --- begin excerpt, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config --- Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse # Option Emulate3Buttons # Option Emulate3Timeout 50 # Option Buttons 5 Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection --- end excerpt, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config --- Commentary -- In /etc/rc.conf I have the mouse port specified twice, using both 'moused_port=/dev/ums0' and the '-p /dev/ums0' option of moused, the mouse daemon. For some reason I don't understand, I had to have both of those, in order for the mouse to work as I wanted it to in the console as well as in X. In a console, the left button of my trackball selects a starting point (which can be extended by dragging), the right button when clicked defines the end of a selection, and pressing both buttons at once pastes the selection into the text entry area. The two scroll buttons don't do anything in the console. In X (in KDE, in my case), the left and right buttons each act as they are configured to do, pressing both simultaneously pastes a selection, and pressing the small left scroll button (which is button 4 of 5, the 2nd button being the virtual middle button accessed by pressing both buttons 1 and 3)--anyway, pressing the small left scroll button and then moving the mouse (the trackball in my case) up or down while the left-scroll button is kept depressed, causes the contents of a window to scroll up or down. This behavior is achieved by setting options to moused in /etc/ rc.conf. Notice that in the XF86Config file the options for emulating 3 buttons are commented out--are not active. The important options in XF86Config are the Protocol auto, Device /dev/sysmouse, and ZAxisMapping 4 5 The ZAxisMapping option was necessary in my XF86Config, even though I specified in /etc/rc.conf that the moused was to report Z-axis movement whenever it received Y-axis movement of the mouse or trackball, by using the -w4 (wheel mode) option for moused in /etc/rc.conf. The -w option with the 4 argument (specified either as -w4 or -w 4) tells the mouse daemon to substitute Z-axis movement for Y-axis movement whenever the 4th button is pressed and held down while the mouse is moved. This has no effect in the console (that I can see, other than appearing to freeze the mouse cursor while the 4th button is depressed), but in X it causes the contents of a window to scroll, IF the XF86Config file is also edited to have the line: Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 as indicated above. The -3 option for moused in /etc/rc.conf is what causes 3-button emulation to occur, which means that the moused reports that (a nonexistent) button 2 has been pressed whenever buttons 1 and 3 are pressed simultaneously. Because X gets this information from moused, it does not need to do the 3-button emulation itself, which is why those options are commented out in my XF86Config file.

There's many, many ways of doing this sort of thing under Unix. Assuming that your CD Rom is mounted under /cdrom and you want to copy everything onto /home/jerry/cdimage then: % cd /cdrom % mkdir /home/jerry/cdimage % tar -cvf - . | ( cd /home/jerry/cdimage ; tar -xvpf - ) However there are any number of commands you could substitute for that 3rd line: % find . -depth -print | cpio -pdmu /home/jerry/cdimage or, if you're installed the net/rsync port: % rsync -avx --delete /cdrom/ /home/jerry/cdimage/ That last one is particularly good if you've already got a partial copy in the destination directory, as it will avoid copying stuff it doesn't need to, and it will remove stuff under the destination not present in the source. None of these will be particularly faster than any of the others if you're copying from scratch -- the limiting factor should be the IO bandwidth of your hardware.

Seems to me (in this case) it could be as simple as: cp -Rp /cdrom/ /home/jerry/ Like I said: TIMTOWTDI. However, I tend not to think of cp(1) in the first instance because historically it tended to do nasty things, like turn sym-links into real files. Of course, the cp(1) in the system today is much better behaved than that, and your suggestion certainly does have merit. There is still this caveat in the cp(1) man page: Note that cp copies hard linked files as separate files. If you need to preserve hard links, consider using tar(1), cpio(1), or pax(1) instead. but that is unlikely to be anything that affects the OP -- I'm not even sure if the iso9660 filesystem on CD Roms even supports hard links.

Kdevelop3 port HOWTO?
Guys, I would like to help out the kdevelop project by building and testing releases on my system. However, as it comes from the project, the source won't configure OR (if I managed to dink with the configure script enough to get it to complete) compile on my system. This includes the released 3.0.0 version, which works in the port tree, so clearly something was done in the ports tree to make it build on FreeBSD. Can anyone tell me what? I'd like to test out a patch in the 3.0.1 version and verify that the bug was fixed. Alternately, does anyone know when 3.0.1 is going to be included in the ports tree for cvs? BTW- I submitted a more detailed question to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but haven't gotten a reply.
