Of course, Wojciech's test won't demonstrate this, as the directory is freshly created, even to the point that the filenames are actually in alpha order in the directory. One method to test this would be to tar up the directory and extract it somewhere else on the machine (assuming you have enough space to do so). If the newly created directory doesn't have the problem, it's likely that the directory entry has become a mess. Use ls -l to compare the sizes of the actual directories themselves as a little exercise. Anyway, if that turns out to be the problem, you can fix it by taring the directory and then restoring it from the tarfile.

Steve, at no point does the original email say we need to execute user input. sudo does not equate to providing full rights. I suggest reading the manpage. check yourself before you wreck yourself. I apologize, you are correct. Perhaps I was in a different context. I was assuming that data passed via a web browser was in fact data that needed to be executed as the user (web server context). Registering users is done wia a web page, and the web server will remote execute a script on the mail server to add the users in the aliases and run newaliases, remote execute a script to the radius server to add the user in the radius tables and restart radius, etc. Pardon my ignorance, I don't regularly use sudo. However, depending on how the user is being added to the mail and/or RADIUS server, if the web server has root auth via sudo to adduser, does that not allow the web server to create a user within whatever group it wants to? check yourself before you wreck yourself Fair enough. Strong statement, I'll stand by it if necessary :) A legitimate question: If I add user 'www' to 'sudoers' with the ability to run adduser, does that not give user 'www' to put the added user in a group, perhaps wheel? which is why you don't user 'sudo adduser' you use 'sudo myadduser.sh'. myadduser.sh is a wrapper around adduser (or pw, or whatever) If said commands are passed via 'user' to web browser to web server, run within context of the web server user, and web server user has sudo rights to the remote box, does that not mean that the server is essentially 'executing user input'? Steve no, you are executing commands on validated user input. validated either by javascript on the html form page, your language of choice on the page the form input is submitted to, or by the adduser wrapper script. if I were to only validate in one place I would not pick the javascript method. this is no different then taking a search term from an input box on a webpage, sanitizing it, and searching an sql database for it. -- The Mafia way is that we pursue larger goals under the guise of personal relationships.

RE: Network Configuration with Jails. [Resolved]
Hello, I run a FreeBSD Jailer and I want to have multiple jails in 2 seperate networks. The server has 2 network interfaces and each of them are connected in a different network. Say vlan1 and vlan2. My problem is that all the network traffic is going through the first interface (vlan1). What I need is that a jail in vlan1 can't communicate with a jail in vlan2 (and vice-versa). Is it possible to split the network traffic in the right interfaces and use a diffrent default gateway for each of them ? Here is my /etc/rc.d configuration. defaultrouter=192.168.1.1 static_routes=vlan1 vlan2 route_vlan1=-net 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.1 route_vlan2=-net 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.2.1 # vlan1 interface config. ifconfig_bge0=inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_bge0_alias0=192.168.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.255 # vlan2 interface config. ifconfig_bge1=inet 192.168.2.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_bge1_alias0=inet 192.168.2.11 netmask 255.255.255.255 I tried to remove the default gateway but then the server was unreachable. I am thinking of using pf to resolve my issue. PF is probably the way to go. In particular using route-to to send traffic originating from 192.168.2.0/24 to 192.168.2.1 I'm not totally sure what your static routes even accomplish. The kernel will establish routes for directly connected networks automatically. So probably some rules of interest # keep jails from talking to each other block in on bge0 from 192.168.2.0/24 to 192.168.1.0/24 block in on bge1 from 192.168.1.0/24 to 192.168.2.0/24 # ignore the default route pass out route-to (bge1 192.168.2.1) from 192.168.2.0/24 to ! 192.168.2.0/24 \ keep state # redundant because of the default route # which actually does what we want pass out route-to (bge0 192.168.1.1) from 192.168.1.0/24 to ! 192.168.1.0/24 \ keep state It's working perfectly.

Producing a staticly-linked package from ports
I have Claws-mail installed on my workstation. It's compiled here from ports. I need to generate a statically-linked package, for installation on an older install of FreeBSD. (6.1 RELEASE, but running Xorg 6.9.0, I am running Xorg 7.3) Can this be done? If so, what's the general procedure.

Upgrading to 6.3-RC1 using freebsd-upgrade.sh Problem
Hello. After hearing FreeBSD 6.3-RC1 was released, I wanted to upgrade to that from my 6.3-BETA2 installation. This worked fine when I went from 6.2-RELEASE to 6.3-BETA2, but after trying to follow the directions at http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2007-11-10-freebsd-minor-version-upgrade.html I get an error. This is what happens: evo# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf -r 6.3-RC1 upgrade Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 6.3-PRERELEASE from update1.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. evo# I would really like to upgrade as I've been having problems with Interrupt Storms on IRQ 11 since I upgraded to 6.3-BETA2. If someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, or how I can use freebsd-update.sh to get FreeBSD 6.3-RC1 I would appreciate it very much. Here is my uname -a if that helps.

Getting DHCP to 'update' DNS records locally
Apologies if this isn't the correct forum. I'd like to configure DNS on my home network but make it work simultaneously with DHCP. So, when hosts are plugged into the network and issued an IP, DNS is updated to reflect the hostnames. That way I can refer to all my machines by name in all databases and I can avoid hardcoding IP addresses. I know Windows allows name-based recognition even in the instance you're using DHCP, but I'd like it to work more generally with any type of machine on the network. The problem is, when I search for terms related to this, I get hits for DynDNS and all that stuff which is /not/ what I want. I'm not trying to update a remote DNS record. This is just a local thing. If there's a lightweight DNS server that comes with a DHCP daemon, that would be fine too. I just need to know where to start.

Very useful script that. Many thanks.
The only ports upgraded at the time were:
Nov 29 01:23:55 2007 samba-3.0.26a_2,1
Nov 29 01:27:05 2007 samba-libsmbclient-3.0.26a_2
Nov 29 01:36:03 2007 xorg-server-1.4_3,1
Nov 29 01:42:21 2007 wxgtk2-2.6.3_5
wxgtk isn't a dependency of amarok so that's ruled out.
With stdout stderr directed to a file I see lots of variations of:
amarok: [CollectionDB] [ERROR!] [virtual QStringList
SqliteConnection::query(const QString, bool)] sqlite3_compile error:
amarok: [CollectionDB] [ERROR!] index tags_deviceid_index already
exists
amarok: [CollectionDB] [ERROR!] on query: CREATE INDEX
tags_deviceid_index ON tags( deviceid );
Then just before X dies:
amarok: [Moodbar] Resetting moodbar:

amarokapp: Fatal IO error: client killed
amarok: BEGIN: virtual CollectionDB::~CollectionDB()
amarok: END__: virtual CollectionDB::~CollectionDB() - Took 0.00023s

I tried using 'amarokapp', but the output looks the same to my
untrained eye.

it worked a treat :)
