forcing TLS auth in /usr/ports/qmail-tls install

2011-08-01 Thread Foo JH

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right spot to ask, but it seems to be 
particularly pertaining to FreeBSD installations. So here I am.


I'm trying to install qmail-tls. The installation is successful - almost 
right out of the ports. Now I'm trying configure qmail such that only 
TLS auth is allowed through from the mail client.


Digging through the previous related forums, I hope to find the clean 
solution via this route:

http://qmail.jms1.net/tls-auth.shtml

It mentions that the config can be put in /service/smtp/run, which in 
the FreeBSD context it does not exist. I tried to set similar 
environment variables before calling tcpserver, but it does not work 
either. Can someone advise what is the equivalent in FBSD8.1?


Much appreciated.

Unless I'm missing something completely, portsnap makes sure that you
always have the latest ports, and it verifies the integrity of the
files that it transfers using a secure key.  Your method has no such
check, so I would say you shouldn't do it that way or recommend that
method to others.

There are a couple of ways that you can get bash and other software.
First, you can use sysinstall.  Read section 2.10.11 "Install
Packages" in the Handbook.  It can be accessed here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-post.html

Or, you can install the ports collection which also contains bash and
lots of other software.  To install the ports collection use portsnap.
 You can read about it in the Handbook section 24.3 "Portsnap: A Ports
Collection Update Tool".  That can be accessed here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/updating-upgrading-portsnap.html

Distributions, by nature, shouldn't be on the disc... they are outdated the 
moment they are made into an ISO.

run these commands:

These are written assuming you are in as root.

# ftp ftp://ftp3.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz
This is a 50MB file. It will take some time. I have found ftp3.freebsd.org to 
be the fastest server in the US.
# mkdir /usr/ports
# chown root:wheel /usr/ports
# tar -xzf ./ports.tar.gz  -C /usr/ports/

Capital C is required there... it will shift you to the folder you need.
You can now build your programs as you need to. 
/usr/ports/shells/bash*

This is also the most current version of the ports since you are getting it 
straight off the server.

"Distributions" are missing from home burnt CD

2011-08-01 Thread Grant Walter
Hi guys,

I burned a CD of the LiveFS image and my installation failed. I then tried 
installing from the Disk 1 image and the install succeeded. 

My problem is that there are no "Ditstributions" on the disk. I don't even have 
bash now. :(
I have searched all over but cannot find a file that contains the distributions.

Thanks for the help!!!

An unkillable process is almost certainly hung in a driver, and in
this case I would strongly suspect it is a video driver.  Can you
break to KDB (or get a dump) and get a ps listing and a traceback
of the hung process?  That may enable someone familiar with the
particular driver involved to debug it.

RE: Linux Binary Compatibility: Libpam compile for FreeBSD

2011-08-01 Thread Traiano Welcome
Hi Boris

 (apologies for top-posting)

 Thanks, I had to go this way in the end. My process was:

 1. enable linux binary compatibility on freebsd.
 2. build a debian chroot environment using debootstrap
 3. obtain some binaries that I could not find in the debian package repos by 
extracting them directly from the from binary packages with rpm2cpio
 4. copy all the linux binaries to /usr/compat/linux/lib ... as per the FreeBSD 
Handbook
 
  After that the binary works perfectly :-) FreeBSD Linux-Binary-Compatibility 
FTW!!!

You may try to install that package by hand:

Not that it helps you now, but the 955 _is_ perfectly compatible with
AM3.  It's only the initial 920 and 940 that were AM2-only.

About ASUS EeePC 1015B

2011-08-01 Thread alphachi
ASUS EeePC 1015B hardware list:
AMD Fusion APU C50 1.0GHz (dual core) Processor
AMD Radeon HD 6250 with WSVGA(1024x600)
...

I have installed FreeBSD 8.2R-amd64, but there are some problems:

1. When using "pciconf -lv", I found
none0@pci0:0:20:0 class=0x0c0500 card=0x43851002 chip=0x43851002 rev=0x42
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc. / Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.'
device = 'ATI SMBus (ATI RD600/RS600)'
class = serial bus
subclass = SMBus
Which module should be load? I have tried "kldload amdbus" and it's useless.

2. How to enable the camera?
The camera is on the screen. In Windows7, the driver name is "ECam Utility".

3. How to enable the Hotkeys?
I have using "kldload acpi_asus", but the Hotkeys(Fn+*) can't use.
"dmesg -a" found some warning messages:
...
ACPI APIC Table : 
ACPI Warning: incorrect checksum in table [XSDT] - 0x89, should be 0x36
(20101013/tbutils-354)
ACPI Warning: Optional field Pm2ControlBlock has zero address or length:
0x/0x1 (20101013/tbfadt-655)
acpi0: <_ASUS_Notebook> on motherboard
...

4. Display driver seems exceptional
I have installed Xorg 7.5.1 with xf86-video-ati. Although X can work, there
are some error messages when enter X:
...
failed to set mtrr: Invalid argument
...
(EE) RADEON(0): Acceleration initialization failed
...
expected keysym, got XF86TouchpadToggle: line 123 of inet

It looks like the display dirver doesn't take effect.

I gave up the DiodeOffset recently because a lot of BIOSes do not set 
any meaningful values.  Instead, I added a tunable for that.  Please 
see the attached patch, which is also available from here:

On my FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE machine, "-e" is an "invalid option" and
"autoexpand" an "invalid property".  I suspect these are features of
ZFS v28 and are not provided with the ZFS v15 provided with FreeBSD
8.2-REL.

Judging from behaviour I experienced experimenting with ZFS in a
virtual machine using 8.2-REL, it was possible to replace all drives
in a ZFS mirror with larger ones and increase the size of the pool,
but (after resilvering) it required either a reboot, or (if I recall
correctly):

  zpool export tank
  zpool import tank

for the increased size to become available.  So I assume "autoexpand"
was implied for ZFS v15.

However this was not with FreeBSD booting from 'tank'.  Trying to run
"zpool export tank" may result in a "Device busy" error if the boot
device was the "tank" pool.

It might be worthwhile experimenting in on a spare (or virtual)
machine to get a definitive answer, especially since there seem to be
differences depending on FreeBSD version.

Basically yes.  Both drives in the mirror need the freebsd-boot
partition, otherwise the drive without freebsd-boot won't be bootable
if the other drive fails to boot.

freebsd-swap can be any size.  The sector count of the freebsd-zfs
partition on the new drive needs to be equal or greater to the
existing sector count, though.  147912685 in your case.  gpart should
do that automatically if the replacement drive is larger and you tell
it just to use the remaining space.

Don't forget this step:

gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i nnn device

Linux Binary Compatibility: Libpam compile for FreeBSD

2011-08-01 Thread Traiano Welcome
Hi List

I need to run a linux binary on freebsd 7.3 that expects to link to 
libpam.so.0. I can't seem to find how to compile libpam (linux-pam) on freebsd, 
or locate some kind of compatible binary I can run on freebsd with linux binary 
compatibility enabled in the ports tree either. 

Would anyone know if there is a freebsd port of linux libpam, or a source 
package I could easily compile for freebsd 7.3 and upward ?

Informational: The binary I'm trying to run is "wmic" , a windows management 
instrumentation client, for monitoring windows systems via wmi. There does not 
seem to be a wmi client available for FreeBSD, hence me resorting to a binary 
compiled for linux :-(

some information on the binary:

---
wmic: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 
2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
---

running it:

---
./wmic: error while loading shared libraries: libpam.so.0: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory
---

Any other suggestions that might help resolving this quandary would be welcome 
:-)

Thanks in Advance,

I would try to add some printfs (or used dtrace - whichever is easier for you) 
to
see what's going on.  Or you can even use pciconf to directly sneak a peek at
what's reported by the hardware, e.g.:
# pciconf -r pci0:0:24:3 0xa4
1c881880

You can read the BKDG to see how to interpret the value - search for F3xA4.  See
F3xE4 for offset calculation.

Hopefully you should be able to see if hardware reports sane value and how the
amdtemp ends up reporting 0°C.

Same here, but when mplayer plays some (rare) video files.

Xorg then stays at 100% CPU, and it is impossible to kill it,

   Hello All,
   My apologies for the last message and for the delay in rectifying any
   wrong impression it might have created. It was not FreeBSD8.2-amd64
   that was the problem. As I found out, it was the system thermals that
   was causing my system to crash. I had to turn on my BIOS's temperature
   warnings to discover the root cause. Playing GNU-Chess against the

   Can anyone please suggest an amd64 (phenom-AM2+) motherboard with
   smbus support for FreeBSD and capable of running Windows 2000 ?

   Hi all,
   My FreeBSD8.2-amd64 installation keeps crashing - power off in a flash
   with no warning. I can't imagine what might be the problem. I ran
   memtest86+ and it cleared Pass 1 with no errors. Win XP runs without
   any problems. I have pasted below XP Device Manager's system summary
   report below. (N: is an ext2fs slice and X: is the FreeBSD slice).
   Can somebody suggest what might the problem be ? There are a couple of
   points of interest :
   1) there are no /dev/smbus* nodes
   2) FreeBSD8.0-amd64 ran on my system without problems.
   Thanks in advance for any help. Meanwhile I am about to start running
   memtest86+ again to go through 2 Passes.
