Re: jail - beginner questions
The address 192.168.0.11 must be assigned to a interface in the host FreeBSD. You can do it before starting the jail, or when the jail is being started. To assign the address before starting the jail do somthing like this: # ifconfig lnc0 alias 192.168.0.11/24 where lnc0 is the name of nic in the host FreeBSD Great. Here is what I did: sorb# mkdir -p /usr/jails/vm1 sorb# cd /usr/src sorb# setenv D /usr/jails/vm1 sorb# make installworld DESTDIR=$D sorb# make distribution DESTDIR=$D sorb# cat /etc/rc.conf jail_enable=YES jail_list=vm1 jail_vm1_rootdir=/usr/jails/vm1 jail_vm1_hostname=vm1.localdomain jail_vm1_ip=192.168.0.11 jail_vm1_interface=lnc0 jail_vm1_devfs_enable=YES jail_vm1_devfs_ruleset=vm1_ruleset ^D sorb#mount -t devfs devfs $D /dev sorb# /etc/rc.d/jail start vm1 Configuring jails:. Starting jails:ifconfig: interface lnc0 does not exist vm1.localdomain. See, I do not understand how this works. If I use a real physical interface then it works: sorb# ifconfig re0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500 options=389bRXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC ether 00:1a:4d:7b:cf:d6 inet X.X.X.X netmask 0xff00 broadcast X.X.X.255 inet 192.168.0.11 netmask 0x broadcast 192.168.0.11 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active where X.X.X.X is my public internet IP address. But I do not like this. I do not want to expose my jail's private IP address to the internet. Am I too paranoid? Should I just add rules like ipfw add 1000 allow all from X.X.X.X to 192.168.0.11 ipfw add 1001 allow all from 192.168.0.11 to X.X.X.X ipfw add 1002 deny all from any to 192.168.0.11 ipfw add 1003 deny all from 192.168.0.11 to any and be happy? Or would it be better to create a virtual ethernet interface for my jails? Somehow? d.) It requires to use firewall either ipfw or pf. For example you can add to your /etc/pf.conf: nat on lnc0 from 192.168.0.11 to any - 192.168.37.133 But the firewall requires more lines then this one to work correcly with all network traffic. And you have to know exactly what you want to get for using it. I'm using ipfw. I think I'll use natd+divert on the host. Thank you very much! I feel I'm over the hard part. :-) Laszlo ___ 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
8.0-RC3 USB lock up on mounting two partitions from one USB drive
When mounting two partitions from a USB dirve, it can cause the drive access lock up for a long time. Details: Terminal 1 -- term1# mount /dev/da0s3d /mnt term1# cd /mnt ; rm -fr * when rm starts, go to terminal 2 and do: term2# mount /dev/da0s3e /dist ### this will hanging for a long time and USB hard drive activity light is off. After more than 1-2 minutes, mount returns, and the drive activity light is blinking, thus removing is going on. term2# ls /dist ### this will cause dUSB dirve hanging again -- no avtivity. Similarly, ls will finish in a couple of miniutes or longer, the rm command continues; but for a while, the drive activity will stop again. Reboot machine, repeat the above steps, and result will be the same. Reboot machine again, and just mount one partition, then doing rm -rf * without involve the second partition, rm will finish quickly.

login accounts with no sendmail access
Hi all, I hope you'll forgive a sendmail question that's not FreeBSD specific - immediate application is for a Debian Linux system running sendmail 8.13 - but I assume it's most likely applicable to a similar FreeBSD system. We need to (re)create a number of user accounts for Samba to service a nest of windows boxes, but do not want these accounts to be able to send or receive email, rather restricting mail access to only a few accounts, on a box that runs DNS, apache2, mail, audio streaming (fwiw) and Samba access to various fileshares, including users' home directories. I figure we can deny each would-be email address using both From: and To: entries in /etc/mail/access, but I'm wondering if there's an easier way that doesn't involve creating such entries for each new account? (Please don't even mention LDAP) cheers, Ian ___ 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

If you are currently either the james or backup user, and added the Share group membership on another tty, then you may need to log out and back in for the system to assign your new group membership to your session. Filesystem permissions take effect immediately, but group memberships are assigned once, at login. This here was the problem. I was not logging out after the changes.

Errors on reads do not mean that your drive's bad-sector table is full; only errors on write indicate that. If you can try manufacturer's drive diagnostics, do that. If you can't, then it's harder to fix things up, but not impossible; write back if you really can't use a low-level diag. Well, OK, so I ran the long test in Seagate Seatools. Result: It noticed exactly and only _one_ bad sector, which I of course told it to repair/remap. The kicker: The specific bad secror was somewhat near to the one that was indicated in the FreeBSD /var/log/messages errors, _however_ it was most definitely a different LBA sector #. So at that point I was kinda worried, cuz now I was looking at two bad sectors. Still, I didn't really want to have to RMA a drive that's less than one year old, so I used dd and copied /dev/zero to the whole drive. Then I used dd again to copy the wole drive to /dev/null. No errors at all in either case. Then I ran the Seatools long diagnostic again. Result: Zero errors. So I decided to keep the drive. Yes, there's some bad sectors, but I think they are all locked out now. I'm hoping this isn't a mistake. Only time will tell.

Loader does not load after reinstall with previous mirrored disk attached
Hello, First off, this is not a real I need help post, though there are a few questions that I'd like to get insight on, if possible - it is more for informative purposes in the archives, should someone run into this very random problem in the future. Additionally, I believe this is far too unlikely this will happen to many others to consider it to be a problem, thus submitting a PR. The story, cut down from its original 3 hour length: For some time, I was dual-booting OpenSolaris and FreeBSD, on 500GB SATA and 250GB IDE disks, respectively. When I lost the need to run OpenSolaris (Flash), I purchased a second 500GB SATA disk. I added the original SATA disk to gmirror, and synced the 250GB FreeBSD install to the 500GB SATA drive. Once that finished, I removed the 250GB disk, and installed the second 500GB disk, adding it to the mirror. All was fine, except I was not using all of the drive space available. This past weekend, I decided to create a slice to cover the remaining 250GB, initially to try ZFS, which failed for the following reason. Here is where question 1 comes into play. 1.) What is the correct way to completely break a gmirror setup, replacing /dev/mirror/gm0 with the original /dev/adN configuration? Is the assumption that once you initialize gmirror, you will never need/want to go back to a single disk setup? Is there a clean way to fix boot0 so it does not look for a mirror, short of 'vfs.root.mountfrom' in loader.conf? After rendering my system unbootable since I use a USB keyboard, and was not able to do anything at the 'mountroot' prompt, I decided it may be a good time for me to finally upgrade to 64-bit, where I purchased an additional 4GB RAM and burned a bootonly amd64 disc. It wasn't a big deal for me since I knew my data was mirrored and available. However, I did consider purchasing a PS/2 keyboard to fix the system... But, let's be honest, who can resist an upgrade? :-) Here is the real reason for my post (besides archival purposes). Because I never disconnected the secondary disk (from the original mirror), it caused the loader to hang upon boot - no errors, just a blinking cursor on the top-left side. One answer I received about this, which makes perfect sense considering what I saw when I was trying to figure out what was happening (until I disconnected the second disk to avoid writing over it accidentally), is that the new loader and the previous loader were in conflict at boot. Once the secondary disk was disconnected, the system booted fine. Which brings me to my second question: 2.) loader problem? In hindsight, I can expect the loader to hang with two MBRs, but should this be expected? If the loader did not get confused, any insight to what may have actually happened, since I could not see any output whatsoever?

Regards, Hi Glen, I recently, successfully, broke a gmirror by simply issuing gmirror clear on all the disks, three in my case. Since gmirror stores metadata in the last sector of the disks (according to the gmirror man page) and everything else is untouched, issuing a gmirror clear reverts the disks to single disk usage, and since the data isn't striped, the system will be able to read the data and mount the filesystem(s). This is my experience. However, I have found no documentation about breaking a gmirror, and I may just have been lucky. The data I had was properly backed up, so if it hadn't worked, I could have restored it, and since I needed the extra space, I gave it a try. So, like I said, this worked for me, but I can't back my clam, neither by documentation nor reports from others, so I would still recommend backing your data up before issuing gmirror clear.

GUI for file permissions management
Someone asked me recently whether a GUI for file permissions management (front end for stuff like umask, chmod, and maybe even login.conf or adduser.conf configuration) exists. I know that some filesystem browser applications like Nautilus provide at least some of that kind of functionality, but wondered if there was a somewhat simple, stand-alone GUI that covered that kind of thing out there. I seem to be using the wrong search terms for Google and `cd /usr/ports; make search key=foo`, because I haven't been able to nail down anything like that.
