Hi Mel...
S'One long singleline string broken down by the mailer...
?php /**/eval(base64_decode([the huge long string originally quoted]));?
Have tried doing a find and replace using perl, initially just to replace the
string, leaving an empty base64_decode(), however, one of the ICT Teachers has
created paths with spaces in, which seemed to throw off the perl I was using...
will give yours a try later today *fingers crossed*...
If worst comes to worst I can restore from backups, it'll just mean students
lose a few days of work that they'd submitted thru Moodle (I've been off for a
day or three, and this appears to have happened on the first day of my absence)
Ta fer the helpful suggestions thus far!

Would I be correct in guessing it's because the string for perl to search for
omits a space?
IE: within the files, it's as follows:
?php /**/eval(base64_decode('thestring')); ?
Whereas the perl appears to be looking for:
?php/**/eval(base64_decode(*wildcard*?
Also... how to delete all files ending in .bak recursively? *grin*
I'm presuming it'd be:

The above does pretty much what you want it to do. I've purposely left it up to you to do some further research. Tweaking a non-forgiving firewall remotely is not something you want to learn the hard way. The benefit of tables is that you can have one rule, but manually add/remove specific addresses or prefixes on the fly without having to reload the rule. With sets, you can disable an entire block of rules, modify it, and reload it without restarting IPFW, therefore destroying your existing established rules.

DVD cloning tool
Hi! I'd like to ask which program is the proper tool to copy a DVD(+|-)R 1:1 to another media of the same kind? It would be great if the program would have a good error tolerance for slightly defective media (which is a usual problem with cheap DVDs). I've always used cdrdao read-cd and afterwards cdrdao write for CD-R, but I cannot use this tool for DVDs, right? So far I've used growisofs to record pre-mastered ISO file systems, but I don't want to make it that complicated (mound source DVD, mkisofs, growisofs / burn this ISO to destination DVD) if it can be avoided. It's not neccessary to perform this operation from one drive to the other, it's okay to have a temporary file (first read, then burn). -- Polytropon From 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
IPFilter section in Handbook needs updating
I was just setting up ipfilter and ipmon on a FreeBSD 7 server, and noticed that the ipmon and syslog information under the ipfilter section of the handbook is incorrect. The section reads: -snip- 31.5.7 IPMON Logging Syslogd uses its own special method for segregation of log data. It uses special groupings called facility and level. IPMON in -Ds mode uses security as the facility name. All IPMON logged data goes to security The following levels can be used to further segregate the logged data if desired: LOG_INFO - packets logged using the log keyword as the action rather than pass or block. LOG_NOTICE - packets logged which are also passed LOG_WARNING - packets logged which are also blocked LOG_ERR - packets which have been logged and which can be considered short To setup IPFILTER to log all data to /var/log/ipfilter.log, you will need to create the file. The following command will do that: # touch /var/log/ipfilter.log The syslog function is controlled by definition statements in the /etc/syslog.conf file. The syslog.conf file offers considerable flexibility in how syslog will deal with system messages issued by software applications like IPF. Add the following statement to /etc/syslog.conf: security.* /var/log/ipfilter.log The security.* means to write all the logged messages to the coded file location. To activate the changes to /etc/syslog.conf you can reboot or bump the syslog task into re-reading /etc/syslog.conf by running /etc/rc.d/syslogd reload Do not forget to change /etc/newsyslog.conf to rotate the new log you just created above. -snip- In trying to configure this I found that ipmon -Dsa doesn't log to security, but logs to local0 instead. Reading the man page for ipmon does in fact state this. However it also list the -L option as being able to change this default behavior, I tried ipmon -DSa -L security, it excepts this, but doesn't actually change the logging to use security. It still only outputs to the syslog using local0, I also tried using ipmon -DSa -L local7 as well, still outputs to local0. It was easy enough to modify my syslog.conf to output the local0.* as well as security.* to the /var/log/security file. However it would be greatly appreciated if someone that actually understands what's going on here could get this info updated. It would have saved me some time, as well as I am sure some other people in the future. Of course it's always possible I am missing something simple here that is causing this discrepancy, please do inform me if I did. It's probably worth mentioning that I am starting ipmon using the rc.conf file with ipmon_enable=YES and ipmon_flags=-DSa, just in case the /etc/rc.d/ipmon script actually changes the default behavior of ipmon in some way, though I didn't see anything in it that should.

To be fair, programming is programming. It's not as if a struct suddenly became an int because we're using windows. You've just got to learn to do it differently. It's just irritating that there's not a fork() in windows, VERY irritating. Other things are quite irritating too, but like I said, it's not as if C++ suddenly became something different because I was working in windows.

I found the result sets from Kris quite interesting comparing FreeBSD X against Linux X, DragonFlyBSD X and so forth. It was just interesting and I was wondering how similar benchmarks would compare. I didn't meant to set anyone off. Lastly, I think I may have left the impression that perhaps where I work they switched from FreeBSD to Windows. Had this been the case, the transition would have been far more discouraging to me. FreeBSD is my preferred OS. I too prefer the using of my brain to more brain-dead OSs. This fact is actually one of the irritants with using Windows now at work.

The section reads: -snip- 31.5.7 IPMON Logging Syslogd uses its own special method for segregation of log data. It uses special groupings called facility and level. IPMON in -Ds mode uses security as the facility name. All IPMON logged data goes to security The following levels can be used to further segregate the logged data if desired: LOG_INFO - packets logged using the log keyword as the action rather than pass or block. LOG_NOTICE - packets logged which are also passed LOG_WARNING - packets logged which are also blocked LOG_ERR - packets which have been logged and which can be considered short To setup IPFILTER to log all data to /var/log/ipfilter.log, you will need to create the file. The following command will do that: # touch /var/log/ipfilter.log The syslog function is controlled by definition statements in the /etc/syslog.conf file. The syslog.conf file offers considerable flexibility in how syslog will deal with system messages issued by software applications like IPF. Add the following statement to /etc/syslog.conf: security.* /var/log/ipfilter.log The security.* means to write all the logged messages to the coded file location. To activate the changes to /etc/syslog.conf you can reboot or bump the syslog task into re-reading /etc/syslog.conf by running /etc/rc.d/syslogd reload Do not forget to change /etc/newsyslog.conf to rotate the new log you just created above. -snip- In trying to configure this I found that ipmon -Dsa doesn't log to security, but logs to local0 instead. Reading the man page for ipmon does in fact state this. However it also list the -L option as being able to change this default behavior, I tried ipmon -DSa -L security, it excepts this, but doesn't actually change the logging to use security. It still only outputs to the syslog using local0, I also tried using ipmon -DSa -L local7 as well, still outputs to local0. It was easy enough to modify my syslog.conf to output the local0.* as well as security.* to the /var/log/security file. However it would be greatly appreciated if someone that actually understands what's going on here could get this info updated. It would have saved me some time, as well as I am sure some other people in the future. Of course it's always possible I am missing something simple here that is causing this discrepancy, please do inform me if I did. It's probably worth mentioning that I am starting ipmon using the rc.conf file with ipmon_enable=YES and ipmon_flags=-DSa, just in case the /etc/rc.d/ipmon script actually changes the default behavior of ipmon in some way, though I didn't see anything in it that should. And ps wwaux | grep ipmon does display the process running with the flags exactly as stated on the ipmon_flags line of the /etc/rc.conf file.

I thought that perhaps NETWORK and named were not getting run before ntpd in my particular case when I didn't include ntpdate in rc.conf. But according to your information NETWORK and named scripts would get run before the ntpd script no matter if ntpdate was enabled in rc.conf or not (because NETWORK and named are required by ntpdate and ntpdate is required by ntpd).

custom kernel
I'm somewhat perturbed and feeling like somebody is laughing at me or at all of us. It used to be fairly easy to install FBSD, but now it seems to be an incredibly complicated task. I have installed and reinstalled a number of distributions from FBSD 4 or earlier up to the present 7.0. It used to be sysctl would install the minimal system and then I would add the necessary programs and build a custom kernel. It was time consuming but hardly problematic. Now, I am trying to build another fresh install of v.7.0 and guess what, I am doing it on an identical motherboard with the the same peripherals as another box with the only differences being a cpu of 3ghz on the older box and 2.4 on the new one (both Pentium 4) and slightly different HDDs. I did exactly the same on all installations but now, as previously and according to the Handbook, make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL stops with errors. I tried the conf MYKERNEL opption and all it did was point me to the compile directory and said not to forget to do make cleandepend make depend. A little strange, that, never had that happen before... but, ok, did it. then ran make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL and, surprise ! same shit. Now, let me mention that I had previously installed 7.0 on the problem computer with no problem then decided I did not need it and got rid of it, that is, cleaned the disk and used it to store files.I now reconfigured the computer and set it up with 4 disks - 2 80Gb configured as Raid1 (mirror) and bootable. Works fine when FBSD installed. Other disks not configured or used yet. I installed the minimal system, did portsnap extract, installed bash and cvsup-without-gui, set up the ports-supfile and the standard-supfile; did cvsup -g -L 2 standard-supfile and retrived the source files, all of them.I then edited :MYKERNEL and started the make buildkernel process. wait...wait...wait.. terminates with linking kernel uvscom.o (.text+0x293): In function 'uvscom_attach' ; :undefined reference to 'ucom_attach' etc. *** Error code 1 did I do something wrong? system is still on and functioning but how do I make the custom kernel? this is my kernel file: # $FreeBSD: src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC,v 1.474.2.7 2008/04/10 22:09:22 rwatson Exp $ cpu I686_CPU ident MYKERNEL # To statically compile in device wiring instead of /boot/device.hints #hints GENERIC.hints # Default places to look for devices. #makeoptionsDEBUG=-g# Build kernel with gdb(1) debug symbols options SCHED_4BSD # 4BSD scheduler options PREEMPTION # Enable kernel thread preemption options INET# InterNETworking #optionsINET6 # IPv6 communications protocols options SCTP# Stream Control Transmission Protocol options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES # Enable FFS soft updates support options UFS_ACL # Support for access control lists #optionsUFS_DIRHASH # Improve performance on big directories options UFS_GJOURNAL# Enable gjournal-based UFS journaling options MD_ROOT # MD is a potential root device #optionsNFSCLIENT # Network Filesystem Client #optionsNFSSERVER # Network Filesystem Server #optionsNFSLOCKD# Network Lock Manager #optionsNFS_ROOT# NFS usable as /, requires NFSCLIENT #optionsMSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem #optionsPROCFS # Process filesystem (requires PSEUDOFS) #optionsPSEUDOFS# Pseudo-filesystem framework #optionsGEOM_PART_GPT # GUID Partition Tables. #optionsGEOM_LABEL # Provides labelization options COMPAT_43TTY# BSD 4.3 TTY compat [KEEP THIS!] options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5 options COMPAT_FREEBSD6 # Compatible with FreeBSD6 options SCSI_DELAY=5000 # Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI #optionsKTRACE # ktrace(1) support #optionsSTACK # stack(9) support options SYSVSHM # SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG # SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM # SYSV-style semaphores options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # POSIX P1003_1B real-time extensions options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV# install a CDEV entry in /dev #optionsADAPTIVE_GIANT # Giant mutex is adaptive. options STOP_NMI# Stop CPUS using NMI instead of IPI #options

Sticky mouse pointer on machine with high load
Often when my machine has load is 2 or higher it becomes very visible that mouse motion isn't smooth. Mouse moves in a series of quite long jumps. I believe this effect is especially pronounced when some applications read/write a lot of files. My understanding is that this is because signal from mouse gets stuck in the fifo somewhere and not processed by x-server in time. Is there any solution to this problem? I never saw such problem on Windows though I didn't touch Windows PC for many years now.

The canonical first thing to do is to see if your system will build GENERIC. If it does not you have done something to the OS. If GENERIC builds OK and your custom kernel config will not, there is something broken with your config file. Remember to cd /usr/obj and rm -rf usr or make clean first. Always clean out the stale leftovers prior to build. this is my kernel file: # $FreeBSD: src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC,v 1.474.2.7 2008/04/10 22:09:22 rwatson Exp $ I'm at home and only have two GENERIC conf files to look at.

I normally had that stuff commented out. I even found the same error on the older, functional machine's kernel which had compiled correctly there was another error in that kernel at the very beginning - the SCHEDULE_4BSD was SCHEDULE_UNO or something like that.. but it was commented out...perhaps these glitches happened through some kind of accidental typos in vi Anywasy, I think that will fix things... thank you for the observations.

Re: Downgrading Ports

I have found the freeradius2 port to be broken and can't install it therefore I would like to downgrade ports to try install an older version. Any advise? See portdowngrade(1) -- it doesn't do what you think it does. Use it to fetch an earlier version of the port and then reinstall it however you wish, e.g. using portupgrade(1).

Re: UFS partitioning
Dangerous is probably overstating the issue a bit ... AFAIK the danger is that someone boots the machine with an installer for some other OS, and that installer treats the disk as unformatted -- hence obviously containing nothing important -- because it doesn't have a recognizable MBR. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
