webbased email administration
Hi, We're considering setting up an email service here and we need to give IT admins in various companies the ability to administer their own email addresses (under their domain). I'm looking for software that will do this. We currently run Sendmail and WU-POP3, but can easily change to Postfix or whatever needed. Can anyone recommend a webbased system for administration of email adresses that will run on FreeBSD?

Subject: Problems with ipfw and ssh
Hi,
I am trying to configure a firewall using ipfw for a machine running FreeBSD
5.4.
Without NAT.
I am nearly a newbie on this (since i never had time until now..) but still
i believe i understand exactly the
concepts and what needs to be done.
Except the manual page and chapter 26.1 in the handbook I am using good
references such as:
http://www.freebsd-howto.com/HOWTO/Ipfw-HOWTO
I need to connect remotely to the machine using ssh and this is where i get
the problem:
Initially i can connect properly using a normal user account.
When later i am trying to su to root it does nothing and the connection
closes.
I have ipfw enabled in the kernel to deny everything by default.
I have used both (one at a time) the following rules concerning ssh, in
/etc/ipfw.rules
and also other combinations, such as taking off setup and keep-state etc etc
which would then make my firewall stateless as far as i understood, which is
something i don't want anyway.
${addcmd} 300 allow log logamount 5 tcp from any to me 22 setup keep-state
-
${addcmd} 300 allow log logamount 5 tcp from any to any ssh keep-state
In a first investigation (not thorough) i found this post:

Mainly, some ports rely on other ports. I installed a bunch of stuff (gnu build stuff) that some ports relied on in my own dir /usr/public as a prefix. The ports system should know about this (ie at later install time) but certain ports that rely on this stuff seem to have it hardwired that this stuff is in / usr/local and these ports fail. So may ports can easily be changed, some ports can't. I use ports for things like build tools, system tools, editors, compilers. and certain standard SW we use. I use configure/make etc for my MTA, apache, php, my imap and pop servers, and lots of my service level software that I find much easier to customize myself without jumping through ports. best Chad -- Juha ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider chad at shire.net

The only difference is that i could not su to root so i could not update any

I could login to a normal user account properly though

Well actually i copied the following rules from /etc/rc.firewall plus the
comment (..because of the comment!) without thinking of it too much and i
consider them trusty and i never thought they could cause any problem.
Are you suggesting that these rules may be the reason for this?
# Only in rare cases do you want to change these rules
${addcmd} 50 allow all from any to any via lo0
${addcmd} 100 deny all from any to 127.0.0.0/8

The display of the make was stopped on ri. In looking at top, I noted that swap file was being used heavily. This particular system was a Pentium 500Mhz with only 128M. I attributed the problem to data IO and swap IO contention. After about 4, maybe 5 hours at that one spot, it did complete. If your situation is the same, it apparently needs more memory. I performed the same steps on all my other systems which range from 512MB to 8GB. None had any problems at that step except the memory deficient system. Two of the other systems also have old IDE drives so wasn't just disk IO but a combination of swap and disk IO. My solution to avoid this in the future will be to upgrade to at least 512M on that system and increase swap to 1G spread it over two drives rather than just system disk as it is now. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I believe ntpdate will pick up servers from your ntpd.conf.

When you say the time on your PC is 30 seconds different, do you mean a Windows pc? Maybe it's the one that's wrong, or maybe your local ntpd isn't finding any servers.

Initio SCSI Controller FreeBSD 6.1 Release
Hi all, I have a number of servers that use SCSI drives. I purchased a 'Star Teck' SCSI controller (PCI Bus Connection), about a year ago. Some research shows that this controller is an 'Initio PCISCSIU2W controller. I have found out yesterday that none of the drivers loaded in the GENERIC Kernel support this device. I tried doing some searches yesterday, and found some hacks and patches that clain to support it, but they were from FBSD 3 -4 and do not work. Somehow, the answer lies in the driver 'iha' or 'iha0' that I can't seem to find. Is there an add on device driver for this card that anyone is aware of?

ports adding users
This is, I guess, a philosophical question. Twice in the last couple of weeks I have been bitten by ports adding users or groups. In setting up my laptop, I created my user account in sysinstall without creating my group. My ~ was created with the GID corresponding to my UID, but in building KDE, comms/gnokii used pw groupadd and was allocated `my' GID, resulting in my ~ being group-owned by gnokii. More seriously, we are moving our user accounts into LDAP and I now have a problem on a server where I installed net/isc-dhcp3-server before configuring pam_ldap and nss_ldap. As a result the dhcpd user (in /etc/passwd) and one of my user accounts (in LDAP) have the same UID and GID. Disentangling these is going to be... interesting. After some digging about, I see I can effectively reserve a block of UIDs/GIDs by starting my UID numbering at (1001 + x), and creating /etc/pw.conf with reuseuids yes reusegids yes to use the UIDs/GIDs between 1000 and (1000 + x) (otherwise pw just allocates a UID/GID higher than any in use, which puts it right back in my reserved range). Perhaps I should also set the maxuid/maxgid options too, just in case? That's one option. Another is to expect dozens of busy port maintainers to cover for me by reserving UIDs/GIDs instead of creating random users. Another is to arrange somehow that the ports infrastructure provide a pw.conf which can be used when pw is called by ports, that limits the range of UIDs/GIDs that a port can be allocated so that it doesn't overlap with the range generally used for user accounts.

I then enter 'X -query server ip' and X starts and it works as expected. I would like to add sound. Unfortunately, I can't find documentation describing this process. So, could someone explain to me how to configure the client/server? My server is FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE. BTW: I installed an ISA soundblaster sound and compiled these lines into my kernel. The kernel detects the sound card during boot-up. # Add the generic audio driver device sound device snd_sbc device snd_sb16 I have had good results using /usr/ports/audio/esound. Install on both the client and the server. On the client, run something like this before you start X: client% esd -tcp -public -promiscuous -beeps -trust -bind 10.0.0.1 where 10.0.0.1 is the IP address of the client's network interface. Connect to the server just as you have described. When ever you run a program that has esd support compiled in, the audio will be directed to the client. Programs compiled with ESD support appear to direct sound to the host indicated by the DISPLAY environment variable. That should set correctly if the server you're attaching to is running xdm, gdm, or kdm. You may also have to set ESPEAKER, but I've found that just DISPLAY works for me. I'm not having much luck. I installed esound on both client and server. I start esound on the server; esd , the server responds with several beeps. On the client I start esd as described above, I also hear beeps when esd starts. I start X, then login to KDE. I start Xmms with esound enabled. I get an error saying 'can't open audio'. any ideas? Couple of things. 1. Make sure sound works on your client to begin with. The handbook has good instructions if you need them. 2. After you've started esd on the client, make sure it's actually listening on the correct port. On my client, this is what I see: host% sockstat -l4 USER COMMANDPID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS root Xorg 6583 3 tcp4 *:6000*:* root Xorg 6583 5 udp4 *:50689 *:* dpoland esd642 3 tcp4 10.0.0.1:16001*:* 3. On the server, you don't actually run esd, just an app with esd support compiled in. 4. Finally, the fact that you're using KDE is *probably* the issue. KDE uses arts for sound processing, and IIRC, doesn't play well with esd. Since I do not run KDE, I cannot advise you further on how to redirect sound in that environment. However, there are thousands of KDE users out there and I'm sure google will turn up something.

gif questions
In 14.10, it appears the description of setting up the VPN tunnel is built on a box directly connected to the internet. The tunnel I'm trying to design is one level back since the ISP router provides private address space host-mapped on the router. Additionally, the example shows the creation of a tunnel for a single network and I'm trying to accommodate multiples. So the questions are: 1. If one has private address host-mapped to the public IP by the ISP router, should the tunnel reference the actual interface address as in: ifconfig gif0 192.168.1.2 W.X.Y.Z ifconfig gif0 inet 192.168.2.1 192.168.3.1 netmask 0x where: 192.168.1.2 is the private address host-mapped to public via the local router W.X.Y.Z is the host mapped public address on the other end 192.168.2.1 is the backend interface of this end's server 192.168.3.1 is the remote server's backend NIC. ...or should the 192.168.1.2 be given as the resultant public IP? 2. When creating tunnels to multiple locations, is the net.link.gif.parallel_tunnels sysctl required? I was unclear if that is what's needed to have gif0, gif1 etc. or if parallel as referenced in man gif means something other than peer level tunnels. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It was due to me not having any rules allowing MAC, or layer2 traffic.
You'll
see this if you set your logging up properly with an ending rule just
before
the last one.
I see.. Yes, what you suggest is a better idea and i think now is even more
clear why the manual suggests to start by allowing everything
I had it different in my mind but still i don't think i wasted my time.
I also have in mind about the layer2, ARP etc traffic and i also think of
using snort's output to create better rules.
However I stuck with the ssh rule since i mainly want to work remotely on
this.
I will go for it in the way you suggest.

RHEL 4 slave NIS server setup problem
Hi, Hope someone can help me here. We have a NIS master server running on FreeBSD 4.11. RHEL clients can bind to the server without any problem.

Re: Question re ncurses and the various ttys
Hi all I've been digging around in the various man pages and havent yet found the incantations I require. Goal: to create a curses driven status screen that can run without user intervention. I want to know if it is possible to _programatically_ switch to an unused virtual tty, Yes it is certainly possible, i have done this recently myself and like you i couldn't find how to do it in any man page. Fortunately i could find the answer in the xorg-server source code. You just open one of the virtual terminals and issue the VT_ACTIVATE ioctl: fd = open(/dev/ttyv9,O_RDONLY); ioctl(fd,VT_ACTIVATE,10); and then use this as the display page. ( By unused I mean marked 'off' in /etc/ttys ) Well, the above code only switches the active vt... If you want your program output to go to a certain vt you probably have to open the specific vt and replace the stdin and stdout file descriptors of your program with the one of the one of the vt you just opened. But there are probably some caveats to this method, so best is to take a look at the getty source code and maybe add your program to /etc/ttys. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'd like to configure their kernels so as to minimize the overhead on the VMware host system. After reading and partially digesting the white paper on timekeeping in VMware virtual machines (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_timekeeping.pdf) it appears that I might want to make some changes. Has anyone addressed this issue? I haven't read the white paper (yet; thanks for the link), but I've had good results with recent -STABLE VM's running under ESX server 3. Some thoughts: As I do on most of my installs, I trimmed down GENERIC to include just the drivers I use. In this case that was mpt for the disk and le for the network (although I suspect forcing the VM to present e1000 hardware and then using the em driver would work as well if not better). The VMware tools package that comes with ESX server does a poor job of getting itself to run, but it can be made to work without too much difficulty. Don't use the port, run the included install script to install the files, ignore the custom network driver and compile the memory management module from source (included). If using X.org, use the built-in vmware display driver, and copy the vmmouse driver .o file from the VMware tools dist to the appropriate dir under /usr/X11. Even though the included file is for X.org 6.8, it works fine with 6.9/7.0 (X.org 7.1 should include the vmmouse driver.) Run the VMware tools config script from a non-X terminal (and you can ignore the warning about running it remotely if you're using SSH), so it won't mess with your X display (it doesn't do anything not accomplished above). Then run the rc.d script to start the VMware tools. I haven't noticed any timekeeping issues so far. JN ___ What is the advantage of using the e1000 hardware, and is this documented somewhere? I got the vxn network driver working without issues; I just had to edit the .vxn file manually: I'm using the free VMware server V1 rather than the ESX server. ethernet0.virtualDev=vmxnet I've got timekeeping running stably on these. I turn on time sync via vmware tools in the .vmx file: tools.syncTime = TRUE and in the guest file's rc.conf start ntpd with flags -Aqgx so it just syncs once at boot and exits. I'm not using X on these. They're supposed to be clean lean systems to run such things as djbdns and qmail. And they do work well. My main goal is to reduce the background load on the VMware host system so that it isn't spending more time than it has to simulating interrupt controllers for the guests.

Running Perl from a C program
Hi, I am facing a problem when running a Perl script from a C program. My C calls 2 different Perl scripts. The way to call them is completely similar. One script does a 'require timelocal.pl;' and is working. The other try to do a 'use Email::MIME::Creator;' and is not working (whatever the module I try to load). Of course this script is working when called from the shell, so this is not a syntax error. This has to do with not being able to 'use' any module from withing a Perl script called from C. A 'require' would not work either. I know this may not be the best list for that question.
