Those are typical (and known) attack vectors. Make sure you're always up to date regarding fixes! I recently had a security breach where someone used a hole in an older Joomla version and was able to install a php script called webadmin.php. From that the person was able to browse all folders and view all files - and change them... not nice! This implies you cannot know in how far your system has been compromized. I'd suggest a new installation. Make backups of user files and configurations. Make sure you audit them (so you won't re-install a possible backdoor after a clean install). I need some help and pointers to what I can do to strengthen security and to atleast prevent someone from writing to the filesystem and browse all directories and files.

Is this a good idea? At least it is a _working_ idea. If it is actually a good idea depends on many different factors. Jails are a good means of separation. Sometimes, using simple user accounts is sufficient, but especially regarding complex web content (such as CMS, stuff that involves PHP and whatnot) the more security you can add, the better it is. Also install portaudit to check for security fixes that have been made available for the software you're running. Apply restrictions as hard as possible. If programs want write access to specific directories, try to make then writable per uer accounts, not within the global tree structure (or even within system directories). The nobody user can also be helpful (regarding on what you are running). If you can separate the different CMSs and sites, a possible security breach will be restricted to that only instance. It can be taken down without affecting the other sites. But also: Educate your users. In order to do that, use money. Make them pay. ;-) PS. Allow me a short addition, I know people will beat me with a pointed stick for mentioning it, but: There are no folders. This term is wrong. What you mean are called directories. A folder is the name of one visual representation (among others) of a directory in a graphical user interface. It _is_ not a directory and it is not similar to one. It's comparable to the relation of the handbrake light in your car's dashboard vs. the real handbrake. Don't claim your handbrake light isn't working when in fact your handbrake is broken. :-) Bottom line: Directory correct, folder plain wrong. You don't call files sheets of paper either. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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: Help! Firefox + acroread costs me $$$$
So, on FreeBSD, how does one get firefox and/or opera to use, for example, evince or some other PDF displayer instead of using this goddamn lousey buggy *^%$#@ acroread ? In Firefox, Edit-Preferences, click the Applications tab, look for application/pdf and make the obvious adjustments. I find that for nearly everything else, chromium works better than firefox, but for PACER, only Firefox supports RECAP. You do use RECAP, I hope.

I was just trying to download a PDF document off of the Pacer[tm] federal courts web site. These are not free. They cost ten cents per page. I tried to download a 29 page document and it downloaded into firefox just fine and then was displayed in a new firefox tab which was apparently using acroread8 to display the document. I know from past experience that acroreadN runs like crap on FreeBSD... often using up enormous amounts of CPU % for no apparently good reason. But this time it really got my goat. I clicked on the little acroread icon for printing the current document, a pop-up dialog box for printing came up, but before I could hit the print button on that, everything relating to firefox... all open tabs and all open windows... froze up solid. Now, having wasted three bucks for no good reason (and STILL not having a hardcopy of the document I wanted), I am motivated to finally get this sorted out.

The xpdf program seems to _sometimes_ have problems with carelessly created PDF documents. The best idea would be to use a Firefox extension (as suggested) to first _download_ and _save_ the PDF file to disk for further use. Then, testing xpdf and using it to print the file would be much easier. If the file has been paid for, it can be opened several times whatever program should be tested. For example, even gv or zathura could be tried. And in the end, even acroread. Even _I_ have to admit that I'm using it from time to time, even if it REDEFINES THE MOUSE CURSOR to an ugly white arrow! What a stupid move... However, for paid content, first saving, then using, would be the best way to deal with it. So the in-line processing chain consisting of Firefox + somehow embedded acroread (really?) could be split, so the reason for the system freeze could be determined. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ 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

It's vaguely possible that the space is used in large files that are covered by the dev filesystem mounted in named's chroot, but I think it's more likely you have some filesystem corruption.

Keep in mind that when you do find the space you are looking for it will be held 'open' as an open file in the file system as long as the process is running. During normal operations you can shut down the process and release the space so it can be deleted. This is relatively straightforward as long as everything is 'normal'. The more difficult position arises when a process has behaved abnormally, including going zombie, crashing, etc. With the 'abnormal' there can be a chance that even though the process is gone you may encounter difficulty trying to delete/recover the space because the file system still considers it an open file. -Mike ___ 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 assume I need to do something like: gpart add set -a active -i 4 ada04 (not sure geom is correct) No, for slice 4, it would be ada0s4. For the MBR setup, bootcode must be added to both the MBR (ada0) and the slice. gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot0 ada04 and then add the mounts. I would like / swap /var 10g /usr 20g /home (the rest) but am somewhat lost about the syntax and geom values. thanks for any help bsdlabel partitions are created inside a slice. No idea whether the partition numbers being out of order will be a problem... gpart create -s bsd ada0s4 gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot ada0s4 Then add partitions inside that: gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -s 2g ada0s4 gpart add -t freebsd-swap -s 4g ada0s4 gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -2 10g ada0s4 ...

But on my lab's development box, it doesn't work! Don't make delete-old-lib unless you have it moved off to compat directories, or have rebuilt everything using the new libarchive. I didn't! As I wrote before, this mess happened on ALL(!) freeBSD 10.0-CURRENT boxes in the very same way when I updated/reinstalled security/cyrus-sasl2. Moreover: I can reproduce this on all boxes. All my boxes use OpenLDAP as a backend with SASL2 enabled (not used so far). On this specific box, where this nasty problem also occured the same way by simply recompiling everything for port www/apache22, including the reinstallation of port security/cyrus-sasl2. Nearly every binary is suddenly coredumping (as on the home box). login, vi, install, devfs, syslogd, mtree, id, find ... a whole lot of binaries seem to be compromised by something I do not see (libsasl2.so perhaps?). truss the binaries to figure out exactly what's going wrong. I will try, but when this errative coredumps of binaries occur, nothing works properly that is using any kinf of dynamical loaded library! Only the binaries (static?) from /resucue/* do their work. A lot of this lost effort could be avoided (like others have posted on the list more than once), by having a centralized package distribution server, and by having VMs or jails and keeping snapshots with pre-upgrade state on the package building machine to avoid dead in the water scenarios like you're in right now.

I basically gave up on recovering a VM and nuked and repaved it using a LiveCD with a chroot, some cp -p'ing, etc. But yes.. it would be nice if I could have recovered the system at least with a static toolchain: cc, binutils [equivalent], mtree, install, etc. This is how I recovered the nasty broken box. The other one was easy to recover by reinstalling security/cyrus-sasl2. I'm quite sure that there is something very foul with something in LDAP or SASL2, since I can reproduce that proplem.

Yes. The version distributed by the ports collection is different
from that one supplied with the base system of FreeBSD.
To try _that_ version, you can download the source tarball and

# tar xvf src.txz
Thanks for the help,

Oh sorry I forgot: You're _not_ on a FreeBSD system!
That's why you cannot use tar (means: bsdtar) with
the xz compression support.
On your system, you first need to install xz. Use
the unxz to uncompress the archive. Then you will have
a valid tar archive which you can extract with stock
tar.
# cd cusr/src/ontrib/netcat/
# ls
FREEBSD-XlistFREEBSD-vendor atomicio.h netcat.c
FREEBSD-upgrade atomicio.c nc.1 socks.c
#
your build command(s) here
Suppose gcc -o netcat netcat.c atomicio.c socks.c should work
It seems that I pointed you to a wrong location inside
the src/ tree. Maybe try this instead:
# unxz src.txz
# tar xvf src.tar usr/src/usr.bin/nc/
# tar xvf src.tar usr/src/contrib/netcat/
# cd usr/src/usr.bin/nc/
# ls
Makefile
# cd ../../contrib/netcat/
# ls
FREEBSD-XlistFREEBSD-vendor atomicio.h netcat.c
FREEBSD-upgrade atomicio.c nc.1 socks.c
Problem: The Makefile which describes the build
process refers to bsd.prog.mk which is specific to
FreeBSD (and located in src/share/Mk which you'd
also have to extract).
The content of the Makefile is rather simple:
.PATH: ${.CURDIR}/../../contrib/netcat
PROG= nc
SRCS= netcat.c atomicio.c socks.c
CFLAGS+=-DIPSEC
LDADD= -lipsec
DPADD= ${LIBIPSEC}
.include bsd.prog.mk
Still it seems that your simplified approach could
work: Compile all the .c files.

Re: Help solving the sysadm's nightmare
I have inherited a problem that is no cause for envy, the previous administrators had no idea what they were doing, so problems with a permission denied would be solved by chown -R 777 /whatever! Needless to say, it's a mess, and ofcourse everything is critical there is no room for interruption of service. Now, I have no idea which processes actually require access to those files, what privileges these processes run with and which files are actually executable or just plain files. What I know is that lots of files are on samba shares and lots of files are used by uniface9 application, but I don't know much about uniface or if this is actually executed on the client or on the server. At this moment my project is to migrate servers with these permissions to new servers, but those who prepared the OS have maintained the permissions from the older version because it's easier than actually investigating or understanding what's going on and find a solution. *sigh* So, how can I - determine if files are actually unix executables or just plain files (or windows executables)? - determine which users actually need read or write access to these files? the second is what I think is the most difficult, I need some lsof daemon to log access... Sounds like a disaster. You're going to have to weigh out the risks of not doing anything and being compromised vs. trying to fix it and breaking something. Depending on how involved you want to get, much coffee may be required. Here's some thorny ideas: First, take a snap shot of the file system if you can. That way if things get screwed up you can always revert back to a previous state. That is, if the data is read-only. (*Evil laugh*) If you can, experiment with this snapshot on a test box. If not, keep reading... You could call lsof from a script repeatedly (or use lsof's own reapeat functionality) for several days/weeks/whatever. Then parse the output to produce a list of unique files, how they're being accessed and by who. Get familiar with the lsof manual page, especially the section about 'OUTPUT FOR OTHER PROGRAMS'. You might insert your results into a file-backed sqlite database that you can later interrogate from a script via SQL queries. Also, crawl the file system and generate *another* sql table, or even flat file of permissions as they currently exist. This way you can, in theory, always go back to how things were, if needed. Of course, you'll need to write a script to do this permission-restore business too. From there, crawl the first SQL table that you made of file access and set permissions on those files appropriately. e.g: a file being accessed read/write probably needs to be set read/write. This will be a job for another script. You can also build a table of file permissions for known files e.g: /etc/master.passwd should be root read/write and so on. You can build up your initial database of known permissions by parsing a clean install with the same scripts you just wrote. Also see the 'file' command to help identify executables. Obviously, you're going to have to be very careful. (Again, have the backup and preferably the script that restores file permissions to what they were, first.) Sounds like a job for python ;) Finally, remember to *thoroughly* test your scripts on an dummy system first! Perhaps a virtual box install where you don't have to worry about screwing things up. The last thing you want, is to get fired for trying to fix someone else's mistake. Tread carefully. Talk to the boss/owner/client about the pros, cons and risks before taking on such a project. Good luck with your nightmare. -Modulok- ___ 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

For differentiating files' nature, use file file(s) to identify if it's an executable, a script (which _may_ or _may not_ need +x attributes), or just some random text or binary file. Regarding access to files: You could first determine which programs are installed on that server and create a testing bed for them, e. g. using jails on a separate system. Then you can use tools like lsof to see what files are accessed, and in which matter (read, read/write). At this occassion, you can also examine what files have been installed to the system by this program's installer process, and what attributes they do _properly_ have. You can find information about _what_ is installed _where_ and _how_ in the package lists of each port. You can use them to compare currently installed stuff with how it should be. Regarding the OS, there's another helpful mechanism to investigate: Check out the files /etc/mtree which can be used to automatically compare the definitions with their current (probably malformed) real counterparts. Also see man mtree for details. At this moment my project is to migrate servers with these permissions to new servers, but those who prepared the OS have maintained the permissions from the older version because it's easier than actually investigating or understanding what's going on and find a solution. *sigh* I think the most safe method would be if you install a new server from scratch, install the PROGRAMS as needed, and then first copy the DATA with _default_ permissions and check if everything works. If you see that the new system works properly, you can easily switch over from the old system. If you have successfully done it, take the box to the admin who was responsible for it and drop it onto his head, so he can recover from professionality. :-) So, how can I - determine if files are actually unix executables or just plain files (or windows executables)? As I said, file, mtree, pkg-plist. - determine which users actually need read or write access to these files? Talk to the users (or better to their superiors, or anyone who is partially able to talk about what they're doing). User access should be separated and kept inside /home. There are very few cases where this method is not sufficient. Maybe you can find such a case and prepare a _proper_ solution to deal with it. If it's about what _programs_ need to access, check their documentation and configuration files. the second is what I think is the most difficult, I need some lsof daemon to log access... I think it's quite hard to determine requirements in vivo. The more restricted your testing bed is, the more precise are your findings and therefor your answers. Have as few variables as possible.

a really introductory book on the

The following books are *NOT* easy reading, but will teach you
nearly everything about how networking works:
'TCP/IP illustrated' Volumes 1 and 2 (3 is optional)
Internetworking with TCP/IP' Volumes 1 and 2 (3 is 'programming')
These are the 'bibles' that virtully every professional has on
their reference shelf (becaue they cover *everythig* from the
very basics up), along with 'Unix Network Programming', which gets
into the nitty-gritty details of the internals of writing software
that communicates over the network.
See also TCP/IP Network Administration. This is an O'Reilley Associates
book. Virtually *everything* they publish is excellent. If they've
ever published an even mediocre book, _I_ have never encountered it.
For 'minimalist'/'simplistic' descriptions of specific terms, see:
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V50A_HTML/GLSSRYXX.HTM
Google for 'unix glossary of terms' for attidional useful wordists.
So, what I did is I disabled bge
completely, i.e. removed from /etc/rc.conf,
and I remembered to include wlan0 in
/etc/ipf.rules. This works ok.
AH, if it is an 'either/or' situation, then
life is a lot simpler.
The 'ifconfig -a' output showed that _both_ interfaes were
configured, UP, with an IP address, *AND* that _both_ were
connected to 'something'.
Using both interfaces at the same time is significantly more
complicated. 'Doable', just a bit tricky. And how you do it
depends on 'whiich way' is 'out' (to the rest of the world.)
I'll need to think of an easy system
to switch from bge to bwn. I usually
use bge with static ip address at work
and I'm trying to use bwn at home.
Write two simple shell sripts. One that doess the
things you just did to 'remove' bge0, and enable bwn0/wlan0.
And another that removes the bwn0/wlan0 references and adds
the bge0 stu back in.
If you're doing this by manipulating the rc.conf
settings, then you can even stick an automatic reboot
in the end of each of those scripts.
If you turn on the machine and it comes up in the 'wrong'
configuration, just run the script to change to the
'other' one. And reboot, if the script doesn't do it
for you.
When you have a better understanding of networking, and
the the basic networking configuration commands ('ifconfig'
and 'route', primarily), you can write scripts that make
the operational changes -without- needing to reboot. Then
you can leave the 'boot' configuration at whatever you
'normally' use (probably 'work'), and run the 'wireless'
script to take down the ethernet ad bring up the Wi-Fi.

Re: Help! Drive failing in zpool
On 16/02/2012 11:23, Andy Wodfer wrote: I have a drive failing and it's a member of a zpool. Since I don't deal with these things every day I thought I ask for some help... :-) Well, the nice thing about ZFS is that it makes dealing with this sort of failure relatively painless. I've already ordered a new drive which will arrive shortly, but I was wondering if someone could guide me through the process of taking out a drive of the pool and replacing it with a new one and keep all the data intact? Ie. - put drive in offline mode - remove drive - insert new drive - whatever needs to set it up - add it to the zpool run OK. First you need to identify the failing drive physically. Do you know which of the drives on your machine is ad1? Kind of important to get this right. Many servers will give you helpful hints by displaying error lights on broken drives, or you may be able to use something like iLO or iDRAC to turn on an indicator LED. Or you may be able to tell by other means. However you do it, be sure about this, as taking out one of the good drives by accident will probably crash your system. Nb. pro-tip: take some small sticky labels to the datacenter with you (the sort you get for those year-planner wall calendars are ideal, but anything will do) and mark the duff drive with them, on the drive caddy before you pull the drive and on the drive itself if you need to reuse the caddy. Now, I can see from your zpool status that you are just using raw disks, so no worries about partitioning or marking anything bootable. If you'ld built the system as described in eg. http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/RAIDZ1 so you were booting from this zpool, then there would be extra steps needed here, but you haven't so there aren't. So, first take the drive out of the zpool. This will result in the zpool state changing to DEGRADED: # zpool offline files ad1 Now physically extract the drive from the machine and replace it with your brand new one. If this is not a hot-swap system that will involve powering down and application of screwdrivers. If it is a hot-swap system, then you need to ensure the OS recognized the new drive. # dmesg Should show messages about 'ad1' near to the end. # atacontrol list should mention the new drive. To force the new drive to be registered, you could use: # atacontrol reinit ata0 but that will also reset ad0, and runs the risk of disruption of service. It might be better to reboot if the system won't pick up the new drive automatically. Now you can rebuild your zpool: # zpool replace files ad1 You should see instant disk activity, and zpool status will show the drive being resilvered. Eventually status will change to ONLINE. That's it. All done. Btw, rebooting this server is not a problem if needed. That shouldn't be necessary, assuming that you have hot-swap drives.

Both the Flash plugin and mplayer use the mixer's pcm channel for output (unlike CD audio). Maybe you'll find that mplayer is able to play *.mp3, but isn't the optimal program to do so - in this case have a look at xmms which can play both *.mp3 and *.ogg (a popular format when you want to make your CDs' content available on your system). And xmms also is able to play CD audio. But playing a CD using cdcontrol still is not working. That's OK. I can easily live without that. I was only using it for testing purposes anyway.

In my old PC, I had one to connect the ATAPI drive to the sound card (a CMI based PCI card, no onboard stuff). This _did_ work perfectly using cdcontrol play track and the mixer's CD channel. So that explains why it doesn't work for you. But I have the little grey wire installed, so I don't know why it doesn't work for me. I'll install that wire tomorrow, just to check - I just hope my cheap (and nearly crappy) mainboard does have support for it. I can't use external wiring (to the sound card's line-in connector) as the drive doesn't have a front connector anymore. See modern. :-) OS is 8.2-STABLE/x86 of late August.

B) learn to use the '-i' option to rm C) learn to use 'echo' to 'test' filename expansions. For your 'problem' files, put a '?' in anywhere there is a space or a 'strange character'. Check what happens using echo, then use 'rm -i', so you make sure that you delete *only* the particular file you intend to. e.g. for the specific file you cited above try: echo 28b?Kjoepesenter?n?ringsg?rdeier.docx *ASSUMING* that that shows; 28b Kjoepesenter n91ringsg86rdeier.docx then try: rm -i 28b?Kjoepesenter?n?ringsg?rdeier.docx Assuming that it asks yout about deleting the full file name, type a 'y'. Repeat for each 'problem' file. ___ 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 know how to use wildcards, but I forgot to tell in my first email that there are 4 files that have almost the same filenames, so I couldn't do it this way. In this case, try to use a terminal emulator which does have support for UTF-8 both on input and on output. Make sure your charsets are configured properly. With this preparation, you should (1st) see the correct file names in your native language and (2nd) be able to enter (or complete) their filenames as desired on the command line.

I may add: D) Learn to avoid non-ASCII characters in filenames (just like whitespaces and special characters).

I'm trying to understand devd.conf to auto mount usb devices. For

This is what I have tried in devd.conf:
notify 20{
match system DEVFS;
match subsystem CDEV;
match typeCREATE;
match cdevda[1-9]+;
action logger you plugged in some usb device;
};
notify 20{
match system USB;
match subsytemDEVICE;
match typeATTACH;
action logger some type of usb thing attached;
};
I do not belive that the values of that variables are in upper case
To see what is happening in devd, try this
Create the file /usr/local/etc/devd/printvar.conf with
=
#
# Run devd in debug mode
# devd -Dd
#
attach 0 {
device-name umass[0-9]+;
action /usr/local/etc/devd/printvar.sh '$bus' '$cdev' '$cisproduct'
'$cisvendor' '$class' '$device' '$device-name' '$function' '$manufacturer'
'$notify' '$product' '$serial' '$slot' '$subvendor' '$subdevice' '$subsystem'
'$system' '$type' '$vendor';
};
=
Also, creat the file Create the file /usr/local/etc/devd/printvar.sh
=
#!/bin/sh
{
echo $# parametros
echo $@
echo bus = $1
echo cdev = $2
echo cisproduct = $3
echo cisvendor= $4
echo class= $5
echo device = $6
echo device-name = $7
echo function = $8
echo manufacturer = $9
shift 9
echo notify = $1
echo product = $2
echo serial = $3
echo slot = $4
echo subvendor= $5
echo subdevice= $6
echo subsystem= $7
echo system = $8
echo type = $9
shift 1
echo vendor = $9
} /tmp/VariablesDevd.txt
=

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
This works for me:
attach 10 {
match device-name umass[0-9];
action logger you plugged in some usb device;
};
