Clarification w.r.t MDLv2 reports send at reboot in FreeBSD 8.0 Release
Hi, FreeBSD 8.0 Release send two MLDv2 Reports at reboot before performing DAD for its Link Local address, One for the IPv6 Solicited-node multicase address(i.e FF02::1:FFDB:ACD5) and other is unknown (i.e FF02::2:21d:d024 ). Could anyone please clarify me, why FreeBSD is send MLDv2 Report for FF02::2:21d:d024 multicast address? Please fine the attached ifconfig output and tcpdump trace captures and reboot time.

Re: how to disable loadable kernel moduels?
On Wed, Feb 24, 2010 at 08:49:29PM -0600, Robert Bonomi typed: I'm building custom kernels for use in 'hostile' environments -- where I need to enforce restricted capabilities, even in the event of malicious 'root' access. (if the bad guy has *physical* access to the machine, I know I'm toast, so I don't try to protect against _that_ in software -- beyond the usual access-control mechnisms, that is.) To accomplish this, I need to (among other things) *completely* disable kernel 'loadable module' functionality. Building the required monolithic kernel is no problem, and by booting from _physical_ read-only media, I can protect against bootloader/kernel/application substitution. I just need to make it impossible to add modules to the running system. I don't see how this is really bullet-proof possible. Anyone with root access can edit loader.conf and force a reboot --- or wait until a power interuption or something causes a reboot. You're not thinking 'creatively' enough. grin heheh :) superuser access _doesn't_ help if things like 'loader.conf' are on _read-only_ media. Not just a mount switch, but -hardware- enforced. Many SCSI disks have a 'write-protect' jumper on them. The _only_ way to defeat =that= requires physical access to the machine. You probably have covered this allready, but consider running all services in a jailed environment, without access to hardware devices (including [k]mem, io etc). With access to /dev/mem, a sufficiently sophisticated attacker can potentially patch your running kernel on the fly.

Re: left over restore file restoresymtable

Note that restore leaves a file restoresymtable in the root directory to pass information between incremental restore passes. This file should be removed when the last incremental has been restored. What root directory is this talking about? If system is booted from cd or dvd then this file can not be written to /root of the booted system. Does this message really mean its written to /root of the just restored file system / It is in the root of whatever filesystem you just restored. That essentially means the mount point value. If you have just restored /usr (correctly by doing:cd /usrrestore -rf ...) then it will be in /usr. Don't worry about it. There is no harm in leaving it there until you get around to it.

bonding NICs with netgraph
Hi, I am setting up a freebsd box to act as a snort sensor on a network. The box has three nics, one internal nic for talking on the network and to the management server, and two nics on a single pci card that each connect to SPAN ports on my switch. I am trying to bind the two adapters on the freebsd box so I have one virtual adapter that snort can listen to. I have been researching netgraph for some time and the script I have been using to configure the adapters is: Code: #!/bin/sh echo Trying kldload ng_ether... kldload ng_ether echo Putting dual adapters into promisc mode... ifconfig em0 promisc -arp up ifconfig em1 promisc -arp up echo Trying mkpeer . eiface hook ether ngctl mkpeer . eiface hook ether echo Trying mkpeer ngeth0: one2many lower one ngctl mkpeer ngeth0: one2many lower one echo Trying ngctl connect em0: ngeth0: lower lower many0 ngctl connect em0: ngeth0:lower lower many0 echo Trying ngctl connect em1: ngeth0: lower lower many1 ngctl connect em1: ngeth0:lower lower many1 echo Tryinh ifconfig ngeth0 -arp up ifconfig ngeth0 -arp up However when I run the script I get: Code: Trying kldload ng_ether... Putting dual adapters into promisc mode... Trying mkpeer . eiface hook ether Trying mkpeer ngeth0: one2many lower one ngctl: send msg: Protocol family not supported Trying ngctl connect em0: ngeth0: lower lower many0 ngctl: send msg: No such file or directory Trying ngctl connect em1: ngeth0: lower lower many1 ngctl: send msg: No such file or directory Tryinh ifconfig ngeth0 -arp up Now 'ngeth0' appears in ifconfig: Code: ngeth0: flags=88c3UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,NOARP,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 but when I TCPDUMP from it it never records any packets even though I know the span ports are sending the individual NICs data. I have been googling the error messages that are returned by the bonding script but have been unable to get packets to cross ngeth0. Any advice or tips for troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

remote syslog(3)ging behaving strangely?
Hi, i have several jails that push their syslog to the syslogd on the host. This is on FreeBSD 7.2. The only line for syslog.conf in the jails is: *.* @haydn.nognu.de On the host I have a standard syslog.conf but all.log is enabled. The problem now is that logs from the jails _only_ appear in all.log and i wonder why. I expected them to be sorted like configured in host's /etc/syslog.conf and I'm relatively sure it does work this way on 8, though I can't verify that right now. Any explanations for this beharviour?

Thanks for the reply,
Haven't got around to testing X yet, but on 7.2-STABLE it works fine, so
I'm not too worried about that. It's the python and pth errors that are
killing me.
/usr/local/include/python2.6/Python.h is there, seems correctly
installed. Even installing with portmaster and plain old make install
it _still_ hits those errors of not finding the headers.
checking for /usr/local/bin/python2.6 version... 2.6

checking for headers required to compile python extensions... not found
configure: error: Python headers not found
As well as /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpth
Doh. Please, don't build python againist pth library, it's broken, and off by
default.
That got it, rebuilding python without pth made almost everything build.
A few parts of KDE4 refuse to build because of ImportError: no module
named sipconfig which I'm looking into now.

-
Its Associated but no ip, its always 0.0.0.0 and sometimes an error of
multicast call back..
I tried to add in /etc/rc.conf inet 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 instead

getpwnam
I encountered a situation where sendmail was opening up what appeared to be
listening on random UDP ports. In the process of tracking this down I
discovered that the culprit is getpwnam. A ktrace of the following simple
program show whats happening:
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include string.h
#include sys/types.h
#include pwd.h
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct passwd *pe;
pe = getpwnam (xxx);
}
Note, xxx is a valid user id in that system.
The ktrace output is way too large to include here, but below is the
interesting portion. Note that it creates a socket with address of 0.0.0.0:932
and then sends data to it. Somehow it gets a response although I can find
nothing other than this program using that port. I would think that it would
use a unix socket rather than UDP to access local NIS information. The
unknown address family error is also puzzling. I have traced this into
_nsdispatch but it gets a bit convoluted at that point with all the caching.

Thunderbird hasn't been updated yet, but 3.0.2 has only been out for a few hours. As of the last time I updated ports (the 22nd) I was prevented from installing Firefox because of the vulnerabilities. I'm grabbing and extracting for today right now. Also, did not realize that 3.0.2 has only been out for a few hours. I only check Mozilla site every so often (and the CERT site even less so). I would recommend that if you want updates faster than the maintainers check them in, you go ahead and build them yourself, but think carefully about how to do it. If you build without the ports system, it can be difficult to remove the program again when you next wish to update. If That's why I'm seeking advice. I'm content to wait for the maintainers to check them in (for the most part). you don't have the skills to update the port skeleton to a new version, you probably won't find it any easier to build the program from scratch. I do, though I'm having some weird issues with freebsd-update.

Re: boot loaders and USB devices
Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2010 07:54:00 +0800 From: Aiza aiz...@comclark.com Subject: boot loaders and USB devices My PC does not have the BIOS option to boot from USB. I use an USB cabled external hard drive for taking backups. It has FreeBSD installed on it which I want to boot from so the motherboard cabled hard drive file systems are un-mounted during the dump. This USB drive will only be attached to do backups. I also have a USB stick containing a Freebsd install used to clone itself to the motherboard cabled hard drive. Since the BIOS will only boot from the motherboard cabled hard drive can I install a boot loader to gain boot access to my seldom connected USB devices? I reviewed the grub port but with no joy. What do you recommend? Robert Bonomi wrote: I think the standard FreeBSD loader should do this -- I haven't personally tested, however. You should get a menu from the boot loader asking which partition you want to boot from. with F5 (I think it is) being 'second disk. hit F5, and you get the 'which boot partition' menu again. Pick F1 for the first partition on the USB drive, and you should be in business. (obviously the '2nd disk' choice is going to show up _only_ if the boot loader detects the drive at power-up. I don't think it relies on the BIOS for this check, but has basic USB support built-in. Several _other_ possible approaches: if you can boot from CD, you could boot the 'live' cd, and then specify that the running filesystems are on the USB device Might be able to do the same from a carefully constructed floppy image. A -really- 'dirty tricks' alternative is to have an alternate /etc/fstab on the 'motherboard-cabled' HDD. One that specifies that '/' and everything else are on the usb-cabled drive. swap the fstab files, and boot 'as normal'. It will come up with everything running of the USB drive.` Do the backup, swap the fstab file back to the 'production' one, and reboot. voila! back to the normal drive. One more posswibility -- build a custom kernel with the 'root' device 'hard- wired' in as the USB drive. Interrupt the boot sequence, and specify this alternate kernel by name. I had though the boot0cfg was not USB aware so never tested it. But now I have tested and I was right. With the bootable USB stick flash drive plugged in I powered on the PC. I can see the PC bios post messages roll by and I see that the bios have added msg saying USB flash memory device and the pri-master ata device as available. The FreeBSD boot0cfg manager comes up with only f1 and f6 options. Pressing f5 has no effect. To me this means that the boot0cfg manager is not USB aware. Have to remember that boot0cfg was written way before there was such a thing as USB anythings. ___ 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

Printing via USB Port
I had a nifty setup with an old computer running as my FreeBSD file and print server. Worked so good I decided to update the computer. But since most computers no longer come with parallel port for printing I'm forced to use the USB feature on my Brother HL-2040 printer. In the previous setup I used apsfilter to install the proper filter and entries for /etc/printcap. But alas, apsfilter won't install right now because the hpijs port is broken. Short of this, can anyone recommend a way around this.

I've got an iMac G3, and have gotten past a number of difficulties/ First. Freebsd 8 stopped loading at acd0 . Found a blog somewhere that mentioned set hint.pcib.2.skipslot=14 then I went many rounds before I figured out that I needed to pre-partition the drive so that the installer labeler could see the slices no auto slicing here I created a small partition for OS X and put the loader file at root there then turned off auto-boot? using nvram auto-boot?=false getting docs installed involved mounting cd1 after the install and going through all the folders on cd1 that required the index file for the 2nd and 3rd cd's (which the installer never called for. Every install attempt simply listed everything that couldn't be installed. sources installed just fine used portsnap for my ports distribution ok now I am into something like my 7th install, and here's the rub every time I try to install xorg, After nearly 24 hours of compiling, the machine freezes and in about half the attempts, it has ruined the btree for usr and sometimes for tmp as well Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

IDE ZIP100 Drive
OK, after some searching (while not the best search engine around, Startpage comes up a winner more often than not if there is anything relevant to be found) I've come up (almost) empty handed[0-1]. Everything else I've found so far for IOMEGA ZIP100 drives deals with the external drive (either USB or parallel port). I've not seen anything in dmesg or /var/log/messages that would indicate that the device is being detected by anything on boot aside from the BIOS. I'm not sure of the pin selector on the drive but it is cabled as the secondary master (the primary master being my hard drive, of course). I did try mount_msdosfs /dev/ad1s4 /mnt/zip (zip added by me after creating the appropriate directory in /mnt) but came up with mount_msdosfs: /dev/adls4: No such file or directory (there is a disk currently loaded).

Greetings, I have a 32-bit machine with 2 GB running FreeBSD 8. I have a complex application that starts getting ENOMEM once the resident memory is about 200 MB. I adjusted the appropriate /boot/loader.conf and /etc/login.conf settings resulting in an increase in the limit values to around 2 GB, but still the complex application gives me ENOMEM at 200 MB. Including swap space, I should be able to handle 3 GB in an application. I need help understanding how I can enable this or why I cannot. I had this same problem on FreeBSD 6.3 about a year and a half ago, but I found an application-level work-around particular for FreeBSD (the full thread is here http://markmail.org/message/5nsld7pb25m5bfja ; but we found no general solution unfortunately ). This application-level work-around is no longer sufficient so I wanted to revisit the root of this problem I was seeing and hopefully ask this community of smart hackers to give me a hand here... I have created a simplified application that demonstrates this exact same problem and made it easy to reproduce. I was hoping that some kind and helpful person could take a look at it and help me out. It doesn't require any editing of code or anything... In the end, I just need to know how to configure my FreeBSD box with 2 GB of RAM to not give me ENOMEM for this application when it is using only 200 MB, something that never happened in the previous unresolved thread reverenced above. This simplified application has a deliberate memory leak but the goal is for it to not give ENOMEM at 200 MB (I want to be able to use about 1.5 GB). I have created a tarball... I think it may only work on a 32-bit machine. download/wget http://cs.ubc.ca/~penoff/reslim.tgz tar zxf reslim.tgz cd reslim gmake (or make on Linux) sh ./myumem.sh On my system, when this prints our an error message, in top, I only see about 200 MB of both SIZE and RES (they are a few numbers off). The goal is for SIZE to be 1.5 GB or higher; RES is up to the OS. For example, on Linux, SIZE (called VIRT) goes as high as 2.8 GB before the system just becomes slow and unusable (never saw ENOMEM). For FreeBSD, what can I change to increase the possible SIZE before I see ENOMEM? I have tried increasing /boot/loader.conf values to match my 2 GB RAM (kern.maxdsiz, kern.maxssiz, kern.dfldsiz), as well as unlimited values in /etc/login.conf, but still 200 MB seems a hard limit. Any ideas? Why is it not going beyond 200 MB? Resident memory is equal to memory size used by the app so why is it never going to disk to swap before ENOMEM comes up? Thanks a million for any help or advice you could lend. I would be more than willing to help in any way, even providing a machine to try this on (I could sponsor an emulab.net account). Anxious to hear what options exist.
