There is no such thing as a "simple downgrade". :-)

The primary goal of the new pkg system is to provide as
"bleeding edge" possible in binary precompiled form, with
the ability of binary upgrades. Switching to older versions
has not been a direct concern, I think.

Correct. The portdowngrade program relies on the ports infra-
structure and requires you to build things yourself. I think
this will be the easiest way to go.

% xwd -out screen.xwd
% convert screen.xwd screen.png
-or-
% convert screen.xwd screen.jpg

But if you've got installed ImageMagic (the "convert" command)
anyway, you can also use

% import screen.jpg
-or-
% import screen.png

For a whole screen capture, "xwd -root" or "import -screen" can
be used.

Re: WANTED: Tool to verify installed package/port consistancy

[John Levine]

I expect the reason you won't find a port verifier is that the usual
way to recover from a situation like yours is to reinstall them all:

# portupgrade --all --force

This might take longer than trying to verify them, but it has the
advantage of not needing a lot of attention (use -DBATCH to skip
config steps) and when you're done, the packages have all been updated
and fixed.

Doing a general port verifier is a pain because the scripts called from
make install can run arbitrary programs.

R's,
John

I am not sure that is the case from the research I have been doing on
this topic.  For example there are reports of it being detected on
lighttpd, nginx and systems that do not use cpanel:


http://www.welivesecurity.com/2013/05/07/linuxcdorked-malware-lighttpd-and-nginx-web-servers-also-affected/


If anyone has a better rundown of this it would be great if you could
point me in the right direction.  I am having problems finding a
proper examination/explanation of this backdoor.

WANTED: Tool to verify installed package/port consistancy

[Ronald F. Guilmette]

The subject line pretty much says it all.

As I explained here the other day, numerous of my installed ports
have semi-mysteriously had their corresponding +CONTENTS files
just disappear.  I do have a backup of my /var partition, from which
I could, in theory, fetch replacements for the specific +CONTENTS
files that went missing, but I know of no way to be able to check
those backed-up +CONTENTS files to make sure that they are at all
consistant with what I actually have installed in the way of ports/
packages on this system at the present time.

Looking at the +CONTENTS files that were not "disappeared" and that
are still present on the system in question, it is abundantly clear
that each of these contains two valuable things relative to the
installed package/port that it corresponds to, i.e.:

1)  A list of all of the installed files corresponding to the
specific port/package in question, and

 2) For each installed file that is part of the package/port in
question, an MD5 checksum value corresponding to that specific
installed file.

I searched within the /usr/ports/ports-mgmt directory, to see if there
might be any tools there that could be applied to a given +CONTENTS file
(or to all of them) to simply verify the presence and (MD5 checksum)
validity of each file of a given installed port/package, but the only
things whose pkg-descr files make them seem like they might be relevant
(i.e. pchecker & portlint) turn out to be tools meant for utterly
different purposes. :-(

Having found nothing useful, I stareted to write a small script of my own
to simply chcek that all files of an installed package/port exist, and that
they have the "right" MD5 checksums, but then I paused halfway through
when I realized that i am probably just re-inventing the wheel here.

It occurs to me that *something*, i.e. some tool(s) within the FreeBSD
panoply, *must* already be reading and/or otherwise making use of those
MD5 checksums within the +CONTENTS files.  Otherwise, why would they even
be there?  So my question really comes down to this: What pre-existing
software tools are available that can and do check the MD5 checksums, as
given the the +CONTENTS file(s), of various files associated with some
given installed port or package?

It is inconceivable to me that there no already existing tool within
FreeBSD that is already doing this exact job.

rfg

Technically, Apache isn't the problem.  The hole's in cPanel probably, 
not Apache.  The attackers replace Apache, probably patching the source

the source code, then yes, FreeBSD, Windows, OS X, Solaris, OpenBSD, et

I wish it were that simple here. /etc/manpath.config is unmodified so I have no 
idea how this is getting all futzed up. 

I am finding files in /usr/local/share/man/man1 that were updated yesterday

I don't have a /usr/local/share/man/ directory at all, and have 7300 files in

question on manpages/hier(7)

[Paul Beard]

Where should site-specific, ie local, man pages live?

For instance, I have: 

/usr/local/man/man1/php.1.gz
/usr/local/share/man/man1/php.1.gz

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  3597 May  6 00:38 /usr/local/man/man1/php.1.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  3383 Dec 20 19:54 /usr/local/share/man/man1/php.1.gz

My understanding is that the older one is in the right place. The newer one is 
registered as belonging to php5.4-14 while the old one is orphaned. 

I learn from lsof that the file that is actually opened and displayed is this 
one:
/usr/local/man/cat1/php.1.gz

But that's in /usr/local/man, not /usr/local/share/man. So it's in /usr/local 
but why not in /usr/local/share? And it's orphaned. Should it be? 

I have just completed a several day cleanup of my local ports installation so 
I'm a little mystified at this. I also rebuilt my kernel and world so I should 
be up-to-date there too.

You do realize that the "man" in "manpage" is an acronym for, "Much
About Nothing".

That's ok for GPT partitions.  The original post was about an MBR
partition table.

Some modern laptops (mine is one) do not boot successfully from a disk
with a GPT partition scheme, unless the boot loader is EFI-capable
(which ours isn't).  So you have to use an MBR-style partition table.

In those cases the note is still useful to see.

It seems consistent with how the other feature modes are documented.

(I'm not the original author on portmaster). Personally the manpage
really confuses me. There's been bigger issues to tackle first though so
I have not touched the manpage much.

You should place a # in front of the two lines:

> ifconfig_rl0 = "DHCP"
> ifconfig_re0 = "DHCP"

Next, you probably shouldn't place spaces before and after the equal 
signs.

See 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html.

You probably should create a ULA prefix or two, and assign these to 
your router interfaces. http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/ula/ might help 
you.

Something along these lines might help you achieve what you want:

ifconfig_rl0_ipv6="inet6 fd8f:d6d0:e6e7:100::1 prefixlen 64"
ifconfig_re0_ipv6="inet6 fd44:13de:a366:200::1 prefixlen 64"
ipv6_gateway_enable="YES"

Finally you probably should configure and enable Router Advertisement 
and Host Auto Configuration as explained in section 32.11.6 of 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html.

Typo in portmaster man page?

[Leslie Jensen]

When reading the portmaster man page I just came to wonder if this isn't 
a typo?



[--force-config|-G] [-aftv] -F
 fetch distfiles only



Shouldn't the -F be to the far left?

Thanks

/Leslie

Hi,

The full Xorg.0.log was attached to the original posting in freebsd-x11,
see here for details:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2013-May/013040.html

The video driver is:

(II) LoadModule: "intel"
(II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so
(II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 2.7.1
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0
...
(II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810,
i810-dc100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G,
E7221 (i915), 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 945GME, IGD_GM, IGD_G, 965G,

Mobile Intel? GM45 Express Chipset,
Intel Integrated Graphics Device, G45/G43, Q45/Q43, G41

Meanwhile I have changed the RAM in the netbook, it does not help
either;

Thanks

Are the procedure with portmaster exactly the same when one is using pkgng

[Leslie Jensen]

I'm specifically thinking of the directories that has to be emptied or 
deleted.


Thanks

/Leslie



Using portmaster to do a complete reinstallation of all your ports:
   1. portmaster --list-origins > ~/installed-port-list
   2. Update your ports tree
   3. portmaster -ty --clean-distfiles
   4. portmaster --check-port-dbdir
   5. portmaster -Faf
   6. pkg_delete -a
   7. rm -rf /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg
   8. Back up any files in /usr/local you wish to save,
  such as configuration files in /usr/local/etc
   9. Manually check /usr/local and /var/db/pkg
  to make sure that they are really empty
   10. Re-install portmaster
   11. portmaster `cat ~/installed-port-list`
