Problem with pf - bug?
Hi, I added the following rules to my config for pf: table bruteforce persist file /usr/local/firewall/bruteforce block in log quick inet from bruteforce to any label RULE 1 \ -- DROP pass in log quick inet proto tcp from any to any port 22 flags \ S/AS modulate state ( max-src-conn 100 max-src-conn-rate 5/10, overload \ bruteforce flush global ) label RULE 2 -- ACCEPT If I load the rules everything is fine but if I restart/reload the rules with the command (sudo /etc/rc.d/pf restart) the PC hangup compeletely. CTRL+ALT+del has no effect the only why to get the PC running again is pressing the reset button and do a manual filesystem check. Can anyone please help me?

FireFox/Thunderbird: Won't save config nor save any extensions
Hello. I have a long lasting problem with both Firefox and Thunderbird running on FreeBSD 6.X/AMD64. After I made a backup by just copying my homes directory onto a DVD+RW and 'reinstalled' it by copying it back to my new home folder, I run into trouble with bot mentioned utilities, Firefox and even Thunderbird as well. The problem occured is simple. I can add and delete addresses in Thunderbird, but I can not install extensions, they were never listed although they're on the harddrive (you know, that small box where I can select an add on and install it already downloaded to a place on harddrive). Another thing is the position and size of the window. Yo know, when closing either program, after restarting it opens at the same size you closed it. That is not true in my case, the utilitie simply reopens at the size just at that time I did the backup. In Thunderbird, I'm nt capable of creating some sort of signature as I can do this at my lab's computer, running nearly the same operating system's configuration and installation. I tried to 'mtree' the working directory layout to reveal the differences and get rid of them, but it didn't work for me. Is there something that can do the 'trick'? Please let me know, I'll appreciate any hint.

Re: Trouble with Berkeley DB version 4.4.20?
Mark wrote: I have done this upgrade path for BerkeleyDB and Perl several times; from 1.85 - 4.1 - 4.2, and now - 4.4.20. It has always worked well. Even now it compiles just fine. It just isn't stable anymore. If someone out there has an idea, I'd really like to know. I don't have any good answers for you, sorry. Probably no-one is answer- ing because no-one active is doing anything with these particular pack- age versions. But, there is a port of BerkeleyDB (databases/p5-BerkeleyDB) which would save you from having to mess around configuring config.in yourself. Just set something like WITH_BDB_VER=44 (or 42 or...) in pkgtools.conf (for portupgrade) or make.conf or on the command line. The port doesn't seem to do any local patches so I wouldn't expect it to work any better for you, unless you have been doing something wrong. Thanks for answering. Really appreciate it. I actually already tried p5-BerkeleyDB too. Had high hopes for it. It took a good 10 minutes or so to compile a new gcc, 3.2.23, first; but after that, everything went well. Except that it shows the same behavior. Compile goes fine; make tests too. But my app core dumps every, say, 30 times it accesses BerkeleyDB. Not sure why p5-BerkeleyDB thinks it needs a specific gcc, though 3.2.23 is the version I have anyway (FreeBSD 5.4) so I didn't know to warn you :-( If you want to pursue further here are some suggestions that I might try: 1) Make sure you are not doing anything non-standard like using a different thread library, or different CFLAGS. You never know... 2) Try using a different underlying database type if you can. E.g. if you use hash, then try btree or vice versa I don't know what your apps do, but make sure for example, that if you can have multiple instances which can write to the db at the same time that your are locking correctly. In 1.85 compatibility usage that means locking a separate file with e.g. flock and *not* locking the database file itself which doesn't work right. Waiting for 4.5 is an option, but I would worry that whatever change in 4.4 is making your app crash might also bite in 4.5. I could find nothing on google about perl+4.4 core dumping so I would harbour a suspicion that it is something about the way you are using BerkeleyDB which is causing the trouble. I could be wrong of course :-) --Alex PS I know there isn't a port yet, but you could just try compiling 4.5 from the sleepycat sources. The port for 4.4 doesn't look like it does anything sophisticated: just applies the latest patches from sleepycat, sets up some configure args, and has one small patch to dist/configure which changes -avoid-version into -version-info 0:0:0 in a couple of places. PPS If I have a chance at some point to try my software with 4.4 I will let you know how I get on. Regrettably, I don't have time right now to try it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Permissions on /var/mail directory
Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p8 postfix-current-2.4.20060903,3 dovecot-1.0.r7 I just did a buildworld along with a new kernel this morning. While doing the installworld, I noticed an error message displayed regarding the /var/mail directory. I have the directory set to: 1777 so that dovecot can assess it. The installworld process reset the permissions to 0775 which were not sufficient for Dovecot. The dovecot.log file had over a hundred entries similar to this: deliver(gerard): Error: open(/var/mail/.temp.scorpio.seibercom.net.1123.cd38cd4d82e1368f) failed: Permission denied deliver(gerard): Error: file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/gerard: Permission denied Obviously the /var/log/maillog had similar fail warnings. By changing the permission to 1777 on the /var/mail directory and running postsuper -r ALL, I was able to get the mail delivered. This is the second time this has happened. The last time I rebuild world I experienced the same phenomena. Why does build world insist on changing the directory permissions and is there a way I can prevent it from doing so? What I am trying to determine is if I really should have those settings on the directory, or if I have something configured wrong in either postfix or dovecot. Those permissions are awfully lenient, but if you've got a single-user machine, I suppose you could live with it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The syncer process runs at idle priority, so normal I/O initiated by your processes will take priority over paging/swapping idle pages of RAM out. There may be additional logic involved to help balance I/O in terms of which swapfile is being used if one drive remains busier than another, but I am not completely familiar with FreeBSD's implementation. that you need to use more than 2GB of swapspace on a machine with 1GB of RAM, you should add more RAM, not more swapspace It is on order.

RE: Trouble with Berkeley DB version 4.4.20?
-Original Message- From: Alex Zbyslaw [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: maandag 2 oktober 2006 12:50 To: Mark Cc: 'FreeBSD-Questions Questions' Subject: Re: Trouble with Berkeley DB version 4.4.20? Thanks for answering, again. I actually already tried p5-BerkeleyDB too. Had high hopes for it. It took a good 10 minutes or so to compile a new gcc, 3.2.23, first; but after that, everything went well. Except that it shows the same behav- ior. Compile goes fine; make tests too. But my app core dumps every, say, 30 times it accesses BerkeleyDB. Not sure why p5-BerkeleyDB thinks it needs a specific gcc, though 3.2.23 is the version I have anyway (FreeBSD 5.4) so I didn't know to warn you :-( For all the difference it made. :) I don't know what your apps do, but make sure for example, that if you can have multiple instances which can write to the db at the same time that your are locking correctly. In 1.85 compatibility usage that means locking a separate file with e.g. flock and *not* locking the database file itself which doesn't work right. I know. In fact, I have one mini-Perl installed, with a DB_File compiled against BerkeleyDB 1.85, for that precise reason (a Perl process that shares the db with DRAC). PS I know there isn't a port yet, but you could just try compiling 4.5 from the sleepycat sources. The port for 4.4 doesn't look like it does anything sophisticated: just applies the latest patches from sleepy- cat, sets up some configure args, and has one small patch to dist/con- figure which changes -avoid-version into -version-info 0:0:0 in a cou- ple of places. Already did that; I got impatient. :) The changes to the Makefile are minor, and I got 4.5.20 to compile and install just great. Waiting for 4.5 is an option, but I would worry that whatever change in 4.4 is making your app crash might also bite in 4.5. I could find noth- ing on google about perl+4.4 core dumping so I would harbour a suspicion that it is something about the way you are using BerkeleyDB which is causing the trouble. Upgrading to 4.5 made no difference. I even installed an entirely new Perl (5.8.8) for the occasion. To no avail. I really suspect it's a locking issue. My app is a socketmap daemon, for sendmail, that does SPF queries and the like. So, concurrency is definitely happening when processes are forking. The one time I was actually able to log an error for the process, it said: Invalid locker id when opening the BerkeleyDB environment. That in itself may not necessarily mean anything (could just mean the env has become corrupted). But the occurance of the core dumps are consistent with a locking issue (under heavy, concurrent load). BerkeleyDB 0.30 (the Perl package) itself takes care of locking the shared environment. Paul Marquess, the author of BerkeleyDB (the Perl package), wrote me once: Apart from that you don't need to do anything -- Berkeley DB handles the locking for you behind the scenes. And it's certainly true for for 4.2: the 'tied' hashes can be accessed, concurrently, between processes, even under the most stringent load. Since an upgrade to 4.5 made no difference, I'm really thinking this is just a matter of BerkeleyDB 0.30 (the Perl package) no longer doing the locking properly. Or maybe there's something between BerkeleyDB 4.2 and 4.4 that has changed about the manner in which locks are done that BerkeleyDB 0.30 is unaware of. - Mark ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't want to experiment too much and clobber the whole drive! Sysinstall calls fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs as well as mkdir to create your mount points. Yes, you can do it from a CD boot. FIRST: Back up every file system on the disk you are modifying using dump on to some media that will be unaffected by the changes, such as tape or another disk. Boot the CD and select the fixit item - I can't remember just how it is labeled and don't want to take something down to look right now. But, it is the one that gives you a limited running system with UNIX prompt. Then, use bsdlabel to create a new partition structure. Make sure you make the a partition bootable. It probably already is and won't be affected by these machinations as long as you don't change the slice or boot sector. Then newfs the partitions to make file systems of them. Fix up your fstab file to reflect the changes reload the dumps using restore. Make sure you CD in to each file system to do the restore for it. Reboot. If you messed up fstab, you may have to boot in to single user and fix it. Should work just fine. jerry -Thanks, Wayne ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Questions about adding new disk
Hello, I've just bought two new Seagate SATA drives and a Promise TX4 SATA300 controller. The disks and the controller is working fine but I'm a little confused how I should setup them. First of all I'm running FreeBSD 6.1. The disks are two 320 GB drives who I'm going to use for storage. Backups, movies, music etc. I've read the handbook about adding new disks and I've got them setup but here are my questions. 1. Should I use soft updates or not on the new disks? The handbook doesn't mention anything about using -U to newfs to setup soft updates. The installer is using it on the system disks but is it a bad idea to use it on storage disks or why isn't it mention in the handbook? 2. Is it a bad idea to use tunefs -m 0 ? I don't need any space reserved for root at the disks but the man page mentions that I'll loose performance when using -m 0. Will it be so much that the extra space isn't worth the performance loss? 3. Should I use tunefs -o space or time? I guess space is the way to go but again how much of a performance loss is there?

Turn softupdates on, or else if you lose power to the disk accidentally and some changes to the fs were in effect, you will possibly (20%~33% chance from my experience) lose data. 2. You want reserved space, or else fs'es fragment easily in the unix world, and you can still keep writing to an extent or another if you're root or privileged and you have reserved space IIRC. 3. It depends.. what do you want more and what is the role of the disk? If it's truly just storage and not used for a lot of swapping/ paging type applications, etc, think of using space over time.

Ruby gaining weight?
Recent versions of ruby18 seem to take more than 145 MB of virtual memory to build with portupgrade or make install clean. I have several classic boxes running bind and a mail MTA on 4.11 that are memory-limited, but otherwise work well. The main boards are maxed out at 64 MB of RAM, and they have 128 MB of swap. The ruby build fails as swap space becomes exhausted. Sure, I could reorganize the hard drives on these boxes to add more swap, but nothing else needs more that a few KB. Moreover, rebuilding the hard drives is to be avoided since these machines are part of a basic infrastructure that has been stable for years.

Point in time recovery allows you to restore you system to a single point in time. Backups, depending on how they're performed, give you multiple points in time from which to recover. What I want is to have a identical backup drive at every moment in time. So even if I add or delete files on my primary hard disk, I would want to have that. But then again, if I go this route, if I wipe out my whole disk accidentally, the backup would be wiped out too? But still, I'm not that stupid or, it never happens so I don't think it will happen now. You're talking about disk mirroring which will not help you if you accidentally delete or overwrite a file. Use your system long enough and this _will_ happen. So, I think I want to two disk to be identical so that gives me less headache if one of them fails. Dump can use my ubuntu partition as well so I will be able to use that. But that will give me point-in-time recovery, right? Yes. Keep in mind that dump remembers, via dump levels, what's been backed up so it will do incremental backups. Geom looks cool, I will start reading the docs and look into them. I've found the article of Dru Lavigne, and the freebsd handbook has some sections as well about it and I've found http://www.freebsdwiki.net/index.php/RAID1,_Software,_How_to_setup Enough to read before my drives arrive.

a long term backup storage solution.
I could just build a nix box with a 3ware raid controller running samba,
but not having done that before, I'm not sure how much work is in there.
Maybe offer others storage as well. I'm envisioning a raid 5 box with
1.5 to 2 terabytes.

If price is an issue, you can look into what some smaller vendors (such as
linksys (now of cisco too, but cheaper), Netgear and others) call 'smart
switches'. I have a 24 port GigE 'smart/ web manageable' switch that allows me
to disable ports as needed. It's like a low cost managed switch.

For example, can server 1 check server 2, which is at a remote
location, to ensure squid is running?
I have not been able to figure out how to do this, or if it is even
possible.
Easiest way would be to try connecting to squid's listening port. This
only works with daemons that listen on internet sockets, but quite a
few do.

I hadn't thought of that. I'll give it a try.
you may want to look into a proper management system to handle this, like
nagios and similar. No point reinventing the wheel.

Re: Fw: Re: Apache2* and mod_perl2
Have you try to update your ports tree collection? what is version of your FreeBSD?

It's been pretty stable to date. What exactly are the problems you encountered? I was never able to get cgi working, as I described in the email you responded to (copied below.)

This website works fine with apache1.3.* and mod_perl. We run the UBB bulletin board, which is written in perl. All the executable files are named *.cgi. I googled and read document after document, waded through the apache mod_perl site until my eyes were crossed, all to no avail. In apache20, after configuring httpd.conf in what I thought was the right way, I got a Forbidden error. Obviously, I checked perms (even made the 777 briefly), but no go. In apache22, all I ever got was the plain text of the program file. Does anyone know of a website that can unlock the mystery of mod_perl2 on apache2? I figure sooner or later I'm going to have to move to apache2, but I sure can't do that until I figure out how to get it working.
