databases/postgresql: simple mirroring of a database or a whole server
Hello list. First, please set me CC, i do not subscribe this list. I'd like to ask for a mirroring solution of an important databse on my installations across at least three boxes. The setup is as follows. Operating system is FreeBSD 10.0/amd and 9.1-STABLE/amd64. A top of the OS there is on all machines in question port databases/postgresql92-server|client running. I have a database that needs to be synchronized/mirrored. A data consistency in a narrow timeframe isn't necessary. The database in question is a very important literature reference db which is maintained via a web interface and this is done mostly from a private box at home, which changes the local database set. This database is also used at the lab. Usually, I have to dump the db, send it via ssh/scp over the net to the target machine and restore it - and this at least three times. Since network connectivity isn't available for some technical reasons when I maintain the local db at home, this task is a pain, if I forget to dump/restore the database. The task maintaining the databases like that isn't appreciable. So, I looked out for a mirroring solution. I came across SLONY I/II, but I feel not very comfortable with the complicated setup. Although having had a howto, it dind't work properly. So I'm looking for something more simple. The data consistency within short timeframes isn't so important, so a mission critical mirroring isn't necessary. But I would be feel better having something more "automatic" that is synchronizing more than two or three machines automatically when network connectivity is available. Is there a solution - easy task - to handle such a scenario? Thanks in advance, Oliver signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: ports/158374: databases/firebird21-client coredumps
Hi everyone, I'm posting this to the bug and to freebsd-questions in case anyone can help me out with advice on how to investigate further. This is in regards to: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/158374 I'm not sure if I jumped the gun on submitting the PR because the fix only partially fixed it and the next problem may or may not be related. = Actually I played with this further and maybe these things are pertinent: Everything works fine on a FreeBSD 9 VM I have: FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #3: Sun Apr 3 20:41:14 PDT 2011 gcc (GCC) 4.2.2 20070831 prerelease [FreeBSD] I never had to patch anything and it is the exact same version of Firebird (and PHP). I did try patching the FreeBSD 8.2 machine (as described in the other PR) and it only sortof worked It connects to a firebird database and everything seems fine (it outputs data from the database) until the end of the script where it still segfaults. I should point out that php scripts that don't connect to firebird don't segfault and I tried eliminating all other extentsions. I'm not sure how to get a better backtrace (I tried compiling php/php-extenstions/firebird with debug and they aren't stripped): # gdb php php.core #0 0x00080193a2d2 in ??

can't build graphics/xfig-3.2.5b on 8.2-STABLE nor databases/p5-DBD-Oracle with lang/perl5.14
First there is the xfig issue: No matter what the setting is for I18N (WITH or WITHOUT) there is this: cc -c -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/libpng -I/usr/local/include/X11 -I. -I/usr/local/include -DCSRG_BASED -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DUSE_INLINE -DUSE_XPM -DXAW3D -DXAW3D1_5E -DUSE_JPEG -DI18N -DNEWARROWTYPESe_edit.c e_edit.c: In function 'generic_window': e_edit.c:3214: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size e_edit.c: In function 'str_panel': e_edit.c:4252: error: 'XtNinternational' undeclared (first use in this function) e_edit.c:4252: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once e_edit.c:4252: error: for each function it appears in.) *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/xfig/work/xfig.3.2.5b. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/xfig. *** Error code 1 I tracked this down to a problem in the Imakefile around line 153: #define I18N This line was not commented out when building xfig using: # make install (and WITHOUT_I18N=true inside /var/db/ports/xfig/options) Looking further I found these two lines: -XCOMM #define I18N +#define I18N inside the /usr/ports/graphics/xfig/files/patch-Imakefile patch file. I think this may be incorrect. After commenting out the #define in the Imakefile, the build of xfig was successful. Secondly, I found that building databases/p5-DBD-Oracle when Perl 5.14 (from lang/perl5.14) was present failed in the compilation of the Oracle.c file. It seems that several Perl constants sv_undef, sv_yes, and sv_no (and others) changed between Perl 5.12.3 and Perl 5.14 to PL_sv_undef, PL_yes, and PL_sv_no, respectively. I didn't take the time to debug this further since I had other Perl 5.14 issues that forced me to completely rebuild my system from scratch starting with Perl 5.12.3 (lang/perl5.12) this time. Once I had Perl 5.12.3 built, databases/p5-DBD-Oracle built just fine. My other problems with Perl 5.14 were observed trying to launch apache2 (2.2.19) with mod_perl2 (2.0.5). Those problems also went away once I rebuilt my ports starting with Perl 5.12.3 version. This makes me suspect Perl 5.14 changes or the effect those changes have had on other ports in the ports tree.

Currently the databases/php5-odbc PHP extension is hardcoded to be compiled with unixODBC backend, so the users that have libiodbc installed (as a dependency of kde4 ports, for ex.) can't installed the first 'cause those two ODBC ports conflict with each other.

I'm pretty sure what DR meant was a symlink for the entire /etc directory: /etc -> /somewhere_writable/etc/ You need this because adduser also has to rewrite /etc/passwd and / etc/group when you add/delete users. This means copying your entire / etc hierarchy somewhere writable; naturally I don't know if this is acceptable in your organization. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

After some more digging, this is what I have found that I think will work. pw -V ///etc other information for user. vipw -d ///etc and make the necessary password changes, etc. The only hangup I have now is how to generate the encrypted password. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The passwords in my passwd file start with $1$ which, if I remember correctly, is DES encryption.

Yesterday, I was trying to install FreeRADIUS on a box that already had MySQL installed on it (from source, not ports) and it was having a problem locating rlm_sql_mysql.so. Searching, I found I had to install mysql-devel. This morning, I am installing on a fresh install (5.2.1), and actually never crossed my mind to install freeradius port first, and let it handle the mysql dependencies. I am trying that now...

I'd sure be happy to HEAR of one, mind you. To be honest, I suspect there isn't really a good security list, because this is simply the kind of thing that so *FEW* people actually do, that there isn't a critical mass of people doing it and needing help for a good mailing list to exist. Please don't take my "tone" as being annoyed. I basically just wanted to "scare" you into *NOT* doing what you plan to do. It's incredibly dangerous, and carries an inordinate amount of risk. If you absolutely *MUST* do this, hire a security expert to help you design/program it. It's just not a good idea to do what you said you wanted to do on your own your first time. If your boss/manage won't accept that, tell them you'll need all their personal credit cards for testing purposes until you're SURE the system is secure and safe from thieves.

Most clearing houses can be negotiated with on-line; during the transaction and all you need to capture is an authorization ack. That already makes things a lot safer. Secondly - carefully consider what you need to have on your webserver; do you really have to store a name/address there long term; or is a login and some preferences enough ? Thirdly consider making the flow a one way street: using things like a PGP email with just the public key on the web server; i.e. shunt any private information into an encrypted email - send it to your systems in-house; and only have the decryption key behind the firewall; and thus only keeping the bare essentials on your server.

You asked the question, you got the replies. Richard wrote nice email. But it would be much better and less painful for you, if you could run your credit card transactions using services of your Bank, or maybe by some kind of well know and trustworthy billing system. Why should you have dreamless nights? Credit card info is very *very* sensitive information. So ask yourself, do you really need to have all the stress or can you leave it to your bank/billing partner (although for small fee)? And mainly, are you well known to your customers, even to those which are new? Because if I am about to give someone my credit card info I will not trust to e-commerce application provider, but to well known bank or such.

The most common answer is "Don't do that" 99.9% of e-commerce sites have absolutely no business storing credit card numbers on any hardware they own. They should simply run the transaction through their Merchant Account (bank) computer using a secure connection, and the software provided by their Merchant Account (bank). If you need a recurring charge, you can run your charge through the Merchant Account as a "recurring charge" (whoda thunk it?) and the Merchant Account software will give you back a unique transaction # to refer to if you ever need to cancel THAT particular recurring charge. You would store only that transaction number, and *NOT* the customer's credit card charge. In the unlikely event that you really *ARE* in the 0.01% of servers that needs to store credit card info... Well, it's kinda scare that you're asking here, rather than a security mailing list, but here is *ONE* solution that may be worth considering. I am posting to the list so that others can tell us just how inadequate this is. You should also be aware that by no means am I an "expert" -- I am simply describing what has been described to me as the "right way" (tm) to do this. My information may be out of date. (It's been awhile.) I chose to let the Merchant Account (bank) worry about keeping credit card numbers safe, rather than do all of the following. You probably should too. Depending on the current interpretation of existing laws, you, the web developer, may or may not be held responsible for *ANY* damages that result from your work -- no matter how faultless you may be in reality. We're talking legalities here, not reality. Did I mention that you really shouldn't be doing this at all? Good. First, your servers *MUST* be in a physically secure location, with access limited to *ONLY* people you really really really trust. No software in the world will do you any damn good if a not-so-honest person can waltz in and play around with the hardware! If you *CANNOT* guarantee that the hardware in question can *ONLY* be accessed by trusted individuals, than you should stop reading right here and now. This rules out shared servers, co-location (IMHO), and almost all corporate servers, which need too many people of limited trust value to be able to access them to keep them up. Next, you need a SECOND server which will be used to hold credit card info, and that second computer will *NOT* be connected to the Internet (directly) You put an extra NIC in your web-server, and run a cross-over cable to the SECOND server, the extra one, which will hold the credit card numbers. You limit ethernet access to that second computer which will hold credit cards so that *ONLY* the one computer connected to it via the cross-over cable will be allowed to connect. The "extra" NIC in the web-server and the SECOND server are both on a separate sub-net from everything else in your system. IE, the only interface cards in your entire organization that utilize the IP address space in question are those two (2) NICs. You then make 100% sure that you simply cannot get to that SECOND box from anywhere else in the organization. What is quite well-documented is that you use SSL (and ONLY SSL) to allow the customer to get their credit card info to your web-server. You then write some routines to get the credit card numbers from your web-server through your second NIC to the second server. These routines get the fine-tooth code-review treatment, by multiple people. They should be mind-numbingly simple, clearly documented, and do the absolute minimum possible to conduct your business. You test these routines every way you can think of to see how they can be broken. You hire an outside security audit team to test your server and routines to see how they can be broken. You use something like tripwire to raise nine kinds of hell if anything changes on the portion of the web-server that talks to the SECOND machine, and, of course, if anything (other than data) changes on the SECOND machine. Under *NO* circumstances should the routines *EVER* store the credit card numbers in any file, database, shared memory, or anything less t
Update Databases from Webserver
Hello, I would like to see how other people are updating backend databases (postgresql on FreeBSD, internal network) from a webserver (apache,php on FreeBSD, dmz network) through a firewall. Pretty much what I am trying to learn is how to take private information (credit card numbers, etc.) and write it to a backend database without leaving any huge holes for hacking. Should this be done or am I barking up the wrong tree, should there be an intermediary step?

Cerejo wrote: > I just went through the download page of postgresql but I couldn't see > the client for windows, could you send me the link for the client or is > it accessible with IE? For starters most databases don't have "clients" in the sense of a program to connect to use and use/changed/play with the data. Most SQL databases such as PostgreSQL "Serve requests" to "clients". Clients usually come as custom programs done for a particular purpose or administrative types of programs that among other things allow you to interact with the database and it's data. What I believe others where trying to point you to are the ODBC drivers. Basically a series of programs that let yet other programs talk to the database. I would recommend you look into PHP as to not have to worry about the clients. Are you planning on doing this syste/database yourself? Are you familiar with doing programs? There are different ways you could go about this, just let us know your background so we can further comment. For instance if only one user was to update the data and it would be read only for the rest you could get an administration program for PostgreSQL (and there are several both free and commercial) and manually enter the data. For the output to the users I would still recommend PHP (a programming language which would not be all that difficult for you to pickup if you have done some programming). ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

As with most things Microsoft, IE sucks, and it really sucks at FTP. Try a real FTP client and/or a mirror. FTP to ftp9.us.postgresql.org (or appropriate mirror), then navigate to /pub/mirrors/postgresql/odbc/versions/msi and find the newest version (7.03 I believe). Also, have a look at these pages: http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc/projdisplay.php http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc/genpage.php?downloads http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc/faq/faq.php ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I've never had a mysql upgrade trash my databases, but it sounds like the simple solution is to 'mysqladmin create "database name"' first.

Are you sure? Lets see (pseudocode): target[100]="abcde"; source="123456"; strncat(target, source, 5); What's the result (just by looking at the man-page): - abcde12345 - abcde12345\0 - abcde1234\0 Now, write a program which verifies your assumption.

problem making port databases/ruby-bdb1
I'm having a problem on two machines (an Athlon and an Alpha each running 4.8-PRE) with the ruby-bdb1 port (req'd by portupgrade). I cvsup my ports tree every night (and run "portsdb -uU"). While upgrading each box, I deinstalled the ruby-bdb1 port and have tried to re-make it (by running "make install clean" as root from the ruby-bdb1 directory). Here's the result of the build: ---> Installing 'ruby-bdb1-0.1.8' from a port (databases/ruby-bdb1) ---> Building '/usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb1' ===> Cleaning for ruby-1.8.0.p2 ===> Cleaning for ruby-rdoc-0.0.0.b2 ===> Cleaning for ruby-bdb1-0.1.8 ===> Extracting for ruby-bdb1-0.1.8 >> Checksum OK for ruby/bdb1-0.1.8.tar.gz. ===> Patching for ruby-bdb1-0.1.8 ===> Configuring for ruby-bdb1-0.1.8 ===> ruby-bdb1-0.1.8 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/ruby - found ===> ruby-bdb1-0.1.8 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/rdoc - found ===> Running extconf.rb to configure extconf.rb: Entering directory `src' checking for dbopen()... yes creating Makefile extconf.rb: Leaving directory `src' ===> Building for ruby-bdb1-0.1.8 cc -fPIC -O -pipe -march=k6 -fPIC -I. -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-freebsd4 -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-freebsd4 -I. -DHAVE_DBOPEN -I/usr/local/include -c bdb1.c cc -fPIC -O -pipe -march=k6 -fPIC -I. -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-freebsd4 -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-freebsd4 -I. -DHAVE_DBOPEN -I/usr/local/include -c recnum.c cc -fPIC -O -pipe -march=k6 -fPIC -I. -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-freebsd4 -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-freebsd4 -I. -DHAVE_DBOPEN -I/usr/local/include -c delegate.c cc -shared -rdynamic -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-soname,bdb1.so -L"/usr/local/lib" -L"/usr/local/lib" -o bdb1.so bdb1.o recnum.o delegate.o -lruby -lcrypt -lm -lc cd /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb1/work/bdb1-0.1.8; /usr/bin/env SHELL=/bin/sh PORTOBJFORMAT=elf PREFIX=/usr/local LOCALBASE=/usr/local X11BASE=/usr/X11R6 MOTIFLIB="-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXm -lXp" LIBDIR="/usr/lib" CFLAGS="-O -pipe -march=k6" CXXFLAGS=" -O -pipe -march=k6" MANPREFIX="/usr/local" BSD_INSTALL_PROGRAM="install -c -s -o root -g wheel -m 555" BSD_INSTALL_SCRIPT="install -c -o root -g wheel -m 555" BSD_INSTALL_DATA="install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444" BSD_INSTALL_MAN="install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444" make -f Makefile rdoc /usr/local/bin/rdoc:2:in `require': No such file to load -- rdoc/rdoc (LoadError) from /usr/local/bin/rdoc:2 *** Error code 1 (ignored) ---> Installing the new version via the port ===> Installing for ruby-bdb1-0.1.8 ===> ruby-bdb1-0.1.8 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/ruby - found ===> Generating temporary packing list /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/share/examples/ruby/bdb1/ /bin/cp -R /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb1/work/bdb1-0.1.8/examples/* /usr/local/share/examples/ruby/bdb1/ /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/share/doc/ruby/bdb1 /bin/cp -R /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb1/work/bdb1-0.1.8/Changes /usr/local/share/doc/ruby/bdb1/ /bin/cp -R /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb1/work/bdb1-0.1.8/README.en /usr/local/share/doc/ruby/bdb1/ /bin/cp -R /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb1/work/bdb1-0.1.8/bdb1.html /usr/local/share/doc/ruby/bdb1/ /bin/cp -R /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb1/work/bdb1-0.1.8/bdb1.rd /usr/local/share/doc/ruby/bdb1/ /bin/cp -R /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb1/work/bdb1-0.1.8/docs/*.html /usr/local/share/doc/ruby/bdb1/ /bin/cp -R /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb1/work/bdb1-0.1.8/docs/*.rd /usr/local/share/doc/ruby/bdb1/ /bin/cp -R /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb1/work/bdb1-0.1.8/docs/doc /usr/local/share/doc/ruby/bdb1/ cp: /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb1/work/bdb1-0.1.8/docs/doc: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb1. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/ruby-bdb1. ! databases/ruby-bdb1 (install error) Am I missing something obvious?

Can't build databases/portgresql7
I know this is my fault, because I've checked the error logs on bento and it's building fine there, but I keep getting the following error trying to build the postgresql7 port: ## error log starts gmake[5]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work/postgresql-7.2.3/src/backend/access/heap' cc -O -pipe -march=pentiumpro -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -I../../../../src/include -I/usr/local/include -c -o heapam.o heapam.c cc -O -pipe -march=pentiumpro -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -I../../../../src/include -I/usr/local/include -c -o hio.o hio.c cc -O -pipe -march=pentiumpro -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -I../../../../src/include -I/usr/local/include -c -o tuptoaster.o tuptoaster.c tuptoaster.c: In function `toast_delete_datum': tuptoaster.c:914: `F_OIDEQ' undeclared (first use in this function) tuptoaster.c:914: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once tuptoaster.c:914: for each function it appears in.) tuptoaster.c: In function `toast_fetch_datum': tuptoaster.c:997: `F_OIDEQ' undeclared (first use in this function) gmake[5]: *** [tuptoaster.o] Error 1 gmake[5]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work/postgresql-7.2.3/src/backend/access/heap' gmake[4]: *** [heap-recursive] Error 2 gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work/postgresql-7.2.3/src/backend/access' gmake[3]: *** [access-recursive] Error 2 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work/postgresql-7.2.3/src/backend' gmake[2]: *** [all] Error 2 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work/postgresql-7.2.3/src' gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work/postgresql-7.2.3' gmake: *** [all] Error 2 *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/postgresql7. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/databases/postgresql7 ## error log ends Indications on the postgresql lists seem to indicate that this may be a problem with awk, but I can't see why this would be failing.

Moving gdbm databases from Linux to FreeBSD
I have been asked to move a Python application that uses gdbm (databases/py-gdbm) databases from Linux to FreeBSD. The actual database files do not appear to be transportable; it appears to do with block size from stat(2), and the fact that FreeBSD uses a 64 bit offset where Linux uses 32 bits. Short of unloading all the data under Linux and importing it again on FreeBSD, does anyone know of a way to use the original Linux databases on FreeBSD? _ Antony Russell Technical Director Clarotech Consulting (Pty) Ltd EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 021.671.5350 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
