Pear, PHP4 and preg_match()

[Jan Siml]

Hello,

I'm using PHP 4.3.3 and the Pear framework from the ports. When trying to
install or upgrade an existing version of the pear framework or even
modules I got the following error:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports/devel/pear-PEAR# make reinstall clean

The system is FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE. At 5.1-RELEASE I didn't have such problems.

Could anyone give me an advice what to do?

Please CC me as I'm not subscribed to this mailing list.

Sure.  There's vinum for one, and there appears to be reasonable support for 
vendor hardware RAID utilities via Linux emulation for a number of SCSI RAID 
products.

The actual problem has not gone away:

I removed the whole /usr/src tree and re-cvssupped.
make world or buildworld fails again at this point:
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo/info/../../../../contrib/texinfo/info/terminal.c

Either it doesn't find ncurses_dll.h or, if I remove
/usr/include/termcap.h (in case it prefers this over some other)
it insists of finding /usr/include/termcap.h (which is a common
file, I believe). Seems it is being generated by some mechanism
since I can't locate the file in the src tree.

I've looked through the handbook and tried (unsuccessfully) to reboot into

Any ideas much appreciated.
This is when you boot single-user mode off of the install CD, or the FIXIT CD 
(#2) if you have that around.  Then mount your hard drive's root partition on 
/mnt (or make something in /tmp), and fix the problem.

To which I might add that netatalk would seem to me to be a better

But then I've never done netatalk on freeBSD.
NFS is an entirely reasonable choice for filesharing against OS X; netatalk 
would be a comparitively better choice for MacOS 9 and previous versions. 
People who have laptops or other network roaming environments will probably 
prefer Samba.  [How's that for providing a fair slant on what each protocol is

What am I cvsup-ing, when I use:

   *default release=cvs tag=.

The manual says about this
  .  "The main branch (the `current' release). This is the default,
  if only the date keyword is given."

But what is 'current'? Is that 5.2 at the moment? Or 4.8-current for me?
(my FreeBSD version is 4.8).

(Re)building a RAID 1 array on the fly

[Gabriel Ambuehl]

Hi,
I was wondering about the correct procedure to (re)build a Highpoint
370 (i.e. using ata(4) based RAID array while the server is running.
I obviously can't take a production machine down for the 2hours it takes
to initialize the RAID in the BIOS and I don't want to risk losing any
data there, either.

Any pointers would be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Gabriel

Yes, we announced that on this list (doc@) about a year ago.  I worked
with them for about 6 months, sent them the artwork for the English
edition, etc.  Bob Bruce met with Tommy Liu of PT Press in Beijing,
and I even got a nice Christmas card out of the deal. ;)

The Handbook translation is half as thick as our English version
because they used thinner paper.  The book is available for
approximately 5 USD in Hong Kong and the mainland.  If you haven't
seen a physical copy I can show you one at BSDCon.

SCB trouble on SMP machine with AHC

[Felix Deichmann]

Hi,

I've installed FreeBSD 5.1 on a Siemens PCD-5T SMP machine. With the 
GENERIC kernel, everything seemed to be OK, but now that I've compiled a 
SMP kernel, I get SCB error dumps on boot... But after that, the system 
runs stable without any error.

Termination of the SCSI bus is correct. dmesg output attached (SORRY, 
it's very large):

Post about BSD's alleged demise on /.

[Guy Van Sanden]

Hi

I saw this post on /. today, under the announcement about a FreeBSD 5.1
review.

Is there much truth is this?
How many FreeBSD servers are out there? And is there number declining?

I really hope that BSD will be arround for a long time to come...

Kind regards

Guy

It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: *BSD is dying

Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when
recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1
percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft
survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this
news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing
in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last
[samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict *BSD's
future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In
fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying.
Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware,
*BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of
blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of
its core developers.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers. 

OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How
many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus
NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there
are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about
half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users
of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD
market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users.
This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts. 

Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD
went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another
troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet
another charnel house. 

All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share.
*BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If
*BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD
continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this
point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead. 

Fact: *BSD is dead

You want to get rid of /usr/obj after a 'make world' fails - don't know if 
you were doing that or not.

-CURRENT is the same for everyone.  It's 5.x at the moment (don't think

Before rushing off to the FreeBSD people with it though, they 1) might
already be aware, and 2) maybe I don't understand the error entirely and
its a problem with how I setup my system?

So I'm asking here I guess.

220ms? I dont think TCP can handle this. Look for a non-connection oriented protocol
to transfer files. UDP for example, or better, raw IP.
Maybe you're lucky and get FAST to work :-)

To my mind this contribution on /. misses some interesting and important
facts. I've been a FreeBSD user since 2.0-RELEASE and I see the following
facts:

* FreeBSD today runs on five hardware platforms now; some years ago,
  only one was supported.

* A lot of books cover FreeBSD today; some years ago, there was only
  one.

* Hardware manufacturers supply drivers for FreeBSD today; some years
  ago, none did so.

These things do make me believe that FreeBSD isn't dead. It would make no
sense to publish books noone will read and to supply drivers noone will
use. The number of FreeBSD developers and users must have grown if new
platforms get supported, I suppose.

I don't know about the number of BSD oriented servers on the net. I'm sure
that will be hard to stand against improved MS operating systems like the
2003 server. It will be a hard stand against Linux sponsored by IBM and
others with lots of money. Maybe Linux is better today in some aspects of
system performance than FreeBSD. But things will change as they always
did.

Konrad

NFS is an entirely reasonable choice for filesharing against OS X; 
netatalk
would be a comparitively better choice for MacOS 9 and previous 
versions.
People who have laptops or other network roaming environments will 
probably
prefer Samba.  [How's that for providing a fair slant on what each

What about the resource fork of the mac files. Does NFS provide a

Try to delete files

Hi all,

Hi, in my years of using freebsd i have collected alot of distfiles in

was wondering is there a command to delete files in the distfiles folder 
that are less than the year 2000?

Or maybe there is a program that deletes all the older releases in the 
distfiles? if someone could help i would be gratefully

Yes, there is one included in the sysutils/portupgrade port:

'portsclean -CD' will erase all of your stale distfiles and work
directories (see the man page for more switches).

In case you didn't know portupgrade(1), you really have to check it out.
It's a must-have :-)

portsclean -D

will delete all distfiles that aren't referenced by any of the ports
currently under /usr/ports.

portsclean -DD

will delete all distfiles which aren't referenced by any currently
installed port or package.

portsclean(1) is part of the portupgrade suite of tools.

Otherwise, you can find all of the files older than a certain date by:

# cd /usr/ports/distfiles
# touch -t 2101 datestamp
# find . \! -newer datestamp -type f -print

Matthew

Install /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade

Then "portsclean -CD" to remove "work" files from /usr/ports/ and to 
remove all non-referenced files in /usr/ports/distfiles/

Its not safe to delete distfiles older than 2000 because a very large 
number of current distfiles are much older than that. Use "ls -lt" to 
see for yourself after having cleaned up with portsclean.

Why does cvsup + supfile delete all my ports ?

[Rob Lahaye]

Hello,

For my FreeBSD 4.8 PC, my supfile for cvsup contains:

*default host=cvsup2.freebsd.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all
When I run "cvsup -L2 supfile", it deletes all the ports.
Why is that?
I then have reinstalled the ports (from "/stand/sysinstall").
I also changed the supfile to:
*default host=cvsup2.freebsd.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all
(Only the "tag" has changed from "RELENG_4" to the dot ".").

This works; well, at least the ports are not deleted, but updated.
But updated to what?
Why can I not use the RELENG_4 for my 4.8 ports selection?

Will the dot update my ports to the ports of 5.x series?
If so, will that cause trouble for my 4.8 system?
What should I do to safely update my ports?

Thanks!
Rob.

It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: *BSD is dying

Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when
recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1
percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft
survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this
news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing
in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last
[samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict *BSD's
future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In
fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying.
Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware,
*BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of
blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of
its core developers.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How
many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus
NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there
are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about
half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users
of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD
market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users.
This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD
went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another
troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet
another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share.
*BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If
*BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. *BSD

PCI bus problem

[Jacob Vennervald Madsen]

Hi BSD people

I've just installed a FreeBSD 4.8 on an HP Netserver E50 machine with a
PCI Promise Fasttrack 100 IDE RAID controller in it.
My problem is that when I issue the reboot command the machine reboots
but for some reason the the RAID conroller doesn't find any disks.
Only if I shutdown comletely and then restart the machine manually can I
make it work. It seems that the PCI bus is not rescanned on reboot.
One of my friends told me that it could be a Plug&Play setting in the
BIOS that should be changed, but I don't see any settings relating to
this.
Is it possible to force a PCI rescan or something just before rebooting
the machine?
Does anybody have any ideas?

Leave it as the dot. If you want to have a single supfile that handles ports and 
source, you can say something like:

*default host=cvsup2.freebsd.org
*default prefix=/usr
*default base=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
ports-all tag=.

This may be explained in the sample supfiles in /usr/share/examples/cvsup, I am not 
sure.

How very odd.
I obtained my KDE by upgrading to v 3.0.3 via the ports (yes I know I 
could upgrade further, but "if it ain't broke ...").

BTW it is the KLJettool not KJettool.  FWIW here is the command that the

kljettool  -caption "%c" %i %m

Perhaps you could "locate kljettool"?
when I try this it gives:

Help with nsmb.conf (SAMBA) donfig file

[stan]

I'm exploring the (unknown to me) mysteries of SAMBA. I really know very
little about the M$ side of things, so I'm pretty confused at the moment.
Ultimately I plan on having a SAMBA share mounted automatically at boot time,
so I'm working up to this a little at a time.

Currently I'm able to mount the share manually using the following command:

mount_smbfs -I 170.85.109.95 //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/samba /hmx

After which I'm prompted for a password. If I enter this password the mount
succeeds. In order to make this work from /etc/fstab, obviously I've got to
get past the manual password entry. 

It appears that I should be able to do this using
/usr/local/etc/nsmb.conf, right?

However, i can't seem to get the syntax on this correct. here's what I've
currently got:


[DMGOLAN-W2K:SAMBA:SAMBA]
password=samba

If I do:

mount_smbfs -N -I 170.85.109.95 //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/samba /hmx

Which should start me down the road, by eliminating the need for manually
entering a password, however, I get the following error message:

mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error

Could some kind soul please educate me as to the correct syntax of this
config file?

Thanks.

controller. I found from the hardware notes that 4.8 has support for ultra
320 (ahd). How do I compile that driver in 4.6.2 kernel? let me know if u
need any other information.

Thank you for your time.

Re: Why does cvsup + supfile delete all my ports ?

[Lowell Gilbert]

Quoting the handbook:

   When specifying a tag in CVSup's configuration file, it must be
   preceded with tag= (RELENG_4 will become tag=RELENG_4). Keep in mind
   that only the tag=. is relevant for the ports collection.

So don't use the RELENG_4 tag for ports; use '.' instead.

Subject: Network service startup time

 

So I've noticed that when I try to connect to any network service on my
new FreeBSD server,
there is a significant startup delay. For instance, telnetting to port
25 (now postfix) seems to
hang for about 10-15 seconds. Same with ftp. Any ideas as to what may be
causing the delay?
I'm running freebsd-stable as of yesterday.

Re: mpd - question

[Luke Cowell]

No, it's not dialup only You're on the right track using mpd, but again
that really depends on what you're trying to accomplish with your VPN. As
you've probably noticed there are several different types of VPN setup. I
use mpd for users on the road or working from home to securely access
services inside our private network.

I thought I'd include this config because I didn't think it was easy to
figure out how to enable simultaneous connections. This is set up for 2
simultaneous connections, but could easily be expanded.

Re: Try to delete files

For academic purposes, I'll provide this explanation.

Use find; this command would delete any files modified more than one year
ago.

Find /usr/ports -mtime +365 -xargs rm -ri {} \;

It's hard to tell from your message whether the printer has an internal
print server or is attached to a router which is acting as a print
server.  Either way, if the print server supports lpr/lpd, it's easy to
do with a printcap entry.  Having installed CUPS may complicate this; I
don't know what it does to existing lpr/lpd setups.

A simple printcap entry for a remote printer:

lp:\
:lp=:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=laser:\
:rp=raw:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/lp:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

"laser" is entered in /etc/hosts as the hostname and address of the
laser printer; you could also just enter the IP address of the printer
directly in printcap.  "raw" is the standard queue name for HP
JetDirects; some print servers don't care about the name, some are
picky.  /var/spool/output/lpd/lp is the spool directory, which has to be
created before you can print through this queue.

Again, nope. But I did just notice that it only happens whilst telneting

telnet though, also happens with my mail client (mozilla mail). Tried 
several different windows boxes to confirm. Also
tried going through the ip instead of the name. My OpenBSD DNS server

Hi,
I have the same problem with USB flash drive, the kernel recognizes it, but sometimes

You have DNS configuration problems.  The server can resolve itself,

That works but is not a very good idea. My distfiles were recently 
scoured with "portsclean -D" and this is the result:

% find /usr/ports/distfiles/ -type f -mtime +365  | wc -l
 373

In other words I have 373 current distfiles which are over 365 days old.

Spam and ad/popup blockers: Recommendations please

[Doug Lee]

I seek a good system (or systems) for filtering out mail spam, email
viruses, and web pop-up ads and such at our FreeBSD Internet gateway.
I run FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE at this site, and all users behind the
FreeBSD gateway run various versions of Windows and mailers (Outlook,
Outlook Express, and an email system or two embedded in other
applications such as GoldMine).  I will consider systems that (1)
automatically reroute spam out of user email folders, or (2) simply
flag spams for users to process themselves via simple header checks (I
know Spam Assassin works that way).  For web filtering, I assume I
need to set up a proxy; I'll have to learn the best way to do that,
but I know ipfw well enough to modify our firewall rules as needed.

So far, I am examining the following packages (admittedly, this list
is based on little more than a scan of Ports).  I welcome additions to
this list and recommendations for or against any package at all.  In
short, I want experience-based info more than package descriptions. :)

bayespam (Bayesian filtering looks nice if not too hard to maintain)
bmf (same comment as above)
drbl (sounds good IF the distributed list is considered effective)
mailscanner
messagewall
Spam Assassin
Vipul's Razor (the razor-agents port)

And for web filtering (ads, popups, etc.):

junkbuster
middleman
privoxy

I will consider packages for either of these goals (email spam
blocking and web filtering) that are not in the Ports tree.  I am,
though, looking to minimize the need for ongoing administrative work
for whatever I install, since I am the admin but have little time
allotted to it (I'm employed as a programmer but run the server
because somebody's gotta do it :) ).

Specific goals for both systems:

1.  Maximum effectiveness against unwanted stuff without blocking
wanted stuff.

2.  Minimal upkeep time required from admin.

3.  Simplicity of use by user (users can mail spam to an address I set
up so it's flagged as spam, but I don't want users to have to know a
lot of tech stuff like procmail just to filter spam).

Virus protection at the gateway is a lower priority since we protect
individual computers, but it wouldn't hurt.

Thanks much for any recommendations/comments.

According to intro(2), error 16 is EBUSY ("Device busy").

I think the kernel is not letting you use a device in the RAID.
After all, it says subdisks:
  ad4
  ad6
and you're trying to boot from ad4. Could that be it?

For some definitions of "transparent".  If the client uses the AppleDouble

 Some Mac NFS implementations do that, some don't.  However, if you care about

Also, netatalk and Samba are both case-insensitive filesharing protocols,

There is a bug in the e2fsprogs port.
The fact that they are getting 0 blocks implies that they are not getting
good results from the disklabel. (Fact: There is none). I looked at the
source code and it seems they don't even try to use the DIOCGMEDIASIZE
ioctl; is there a reason for this?

If you're a programmer, look into it.
If you're not, bug me and I'll do it :-)

Re: SquirrelMail on FreeBSD

[Chris]

Yes I did run the ./configure script and tried to answer all the 
questions every which way.   I think I might try this with a different 
IMAP server although I can login via telnet 143.  I am out of options here.

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

Has anyone had any trouble with the ports version of SquirrelMail.  I
updated my mail ports yesterday and built cclient and IMAP-uw without

I verified this by logging in through telnet:

So now that I know IMAP and cclient work I moved on to Squirrelmail.
It
installed successfully but when I try to login with a user on the
system
I get:
"You must be logged in to access this page."

I'm stuck on this one and would appreciate any help.  I acctually
tried
the ports version and the latest version off of squirrelmail.org and I
get the same thing.

Perhaps this has already been answered; but, have you:

cd /usr/local/squirrelmail
./configure
and set all appropriate options, i.e. imap hostname, port, type?

Completely unnecessary.
While I am a fan of "use the existing tools to fix the problem without physical

what the OP was asking was "what should I do if I've screwed up the config on

Booting single-user off a CD may be completely unnecessary in this particular

Replacing string in multiple files

[Jack L. Stone]

Am running FBSD.4.8-R

At times, I need to replace an existing string in a file that has the same
name in all ~user accounts and know there must be a short script to do that
and suspect it involves sed(1). However, had no luck getting it to work
yet. Basically want to do this:

- find same files in all ~users by same name "~users/myfile"
- replace this ${string} with this ${string} in the above files
- report list of above files modified successfully

That's it. Script help appreciated (csh shells)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Jack L. Stone,

You may also want to check that you have the latest version of mod_php... 
There
were issues with some versions accessing the file system fileexists(), which
squirrelmail uses, was a problem.

new bootable drive

[Casey Scott]

I need to replace the drive that my fbsd boots from. I have read the
documentation on how to format, and copy files to a drive.  e.g.:

To move file from your original base disk to the fresh new one, do:

# mount /dev/ad2 /mnt
# pax -r -w -p e / /mnt
# umount /mnt
# mount /dev/ad2 /

I am not sure if that procedure will copy the necessary bootstrap data to
the new disk. I do not want to use a ghosting utility because I need a new
partition scheme on the new drive. Will the procedure above copy EVERYTHING
from / to the new /  making it a replacement for the bootable disk?  If not,
what is the best procedure for that?

Thanks,
Casey

If you're favorite editor is vi, then you'll need to mount /var or it will

If all your users share a common hierarchy:

sed -i.bak -e s/oldstring/newstring/ /home/*/myfile

You'll need to be running FreeBSD 4.7 or newer for sed -i to work.  Not
sure how to get a list of changed files, though.  Maybe just do a grep
beforehand?

dhclient filling up my logfile. Help needed.

[Hasse]

Hi everybody.
Need help.
Running FreeBSD 4.8, all files are up to date, cvsuped yesterday, and I'm 
connected to the net via ADSL. Dynamic IP, but hardly ever change.
dhclient is filling up my /var/log/messages.
Every 10th minute it makes a new request and logging it.
I've tried to request a longer lease time in my dhclient.conf without any 
luck, and I've tried to get it to log to another logfile named dhclient, 
resulting in it logging to two files. dhclient and /var/log/messages.
I've tried to talk to my ISP about this problem, without any luck.
I think most of the computers connected to this network are win-boxes,
and they don't seem to have this problem. ( Don't log this kind of info )
How can I keep the program from logging all this info ?
Not really a problem, but very annoying.

Apparently, someone in an MCSE course was caught playing with another 
OS, and as punishiment, was given the task of finding as many ways as 
possible of saying "BSD is dead" in a sentence. Aside from that and some 
junk numbers, there's nothing in the article.

Isn't it amazing how powerfully the expression "X is dead", repeated 
over and over, plays on the emotions?

For adverts I run Squid with adzap (in the ports).  I find it pretty
good, although I find the pop-up support a little less advanced.

The email situation is different (since not everybody runs the same MTA
(although /almost/ all people running proxies I know do use squid)) and
depends heavily on your MTA.  I have tried quite a few (although for
very low volume) and am now settled on Exim (althogh Postfix would suit
my needs just as well).  Whatever you do (imho) do /not/ use Courier,
because it is slightly pedantic about standards.

I run Exim with Julian Page's MailScanner (http://mailscanner.info/),
which I find suits my purposes nicely.  It supports many virus scanners
and uses SpamAssassin for spam checks (SpamAssassin also supports
Bayesian filtering).  You can use more than one virus scanner, too.

If you're using Qmail, there is the excellent Qmail-scanner, which does
a similar job.  MailScanner will also work with Qmail, though, and I
like the way it works.  Postfix and Sendmail are also supported.

Another cross-MTA scanner is amavis (incld. amavis, amavisd and
amavisd-new -- who knows which to pick?).

SpamAssassian can either add headers to ``considered spam mails'' and
you can filter them on a per-user basis with procmail (or even allow the
user to do it from the MUA -- possibly changing the Subject instead of
the header), or just delete the mail.

Since setup I've not had to look at MailScanner (or adzap) again.

You could easily do something yourself to create a procmailrc, or just
provide a stock one, and allow more advanced users to modify it, if they
wish.

For mail it's more important to do it at the gateway, I would have
thought.  Especially where Outlook is concerned... :)

Racoon / VPN problem

[Company 2210]

I have two freebsd 5.0 boxes authenticating at stage one of the VPN, however stage 2 
fails. with: 

ph2begin_r(): respond new phase 2 negotiation: 10.0.0.1[0]<=>10.0.0.2[0]
get_proposal_r(): no policy found: 10.0.0.2/32[0] 0.0.0.0/0[0] proto=any dir=in
quick_r1recv(): failed to get proposal for responder.
_ph2begin_r(): failed to pre-process packet. 

I'm a bit new too this, so I'm guessing the lack of a policy refers to my SPD 
Database. Setkey -DP looks like this:

0.0.0.0/0[any] 10.0.0.1[any] any
in ipsec
esp/tunnel/10.0.0.2-10.0.0.1/require
spid=19 seq=1 pid=770
refcnt=1

10.0.0.1[any] 0.0.0.0/0[any] any
out ipsec
esp/tunnel/10.0.0.1-10.0.0.2/require
spid=18 seq=0 pid=770
refcnt=1

As I understand it, this means all packets heading too or from 10.0.0.1 must be 
encapsulated (which is what I want, as I'm running a VPN between too FreeBSD gateway 
boxes). If I replace the 0.0.0.0/0 with the IP of the other boxes inteface (i.e. 
10.0.0.2) the VPN works between 10.0.0.1<->10.0.0.2, but other traffic from other 
interfaces is not encrypted. Any help in resolving/understanding this issue is greatly 
appericated.

Many Thanks

Oops, I meant to mention I use sendmail for my MTA but sometimes

Well, MailScanner works well with Sendmail.  You run two copies (one in,
one out) -- in fact, that's how Postfix runs it too.  It sounds quite a
kludge, but I really think it's quite elegant.  A design feature is that
scanning gets more efficient as the volume of messages goes up -- many
other scanners degrade in efficiency.

  Best wishes,

Dead natd -> dead system

[Brett Glass]

While working with a FreeBSD system this afternoon, I did something which killed
natd (the NAT daemon), which was processing packets in the usual way via ipfw
and a divert socket.

The result? Network communications on the system simply went dead.

It seems to me that ipfw should be able to "self-heal" (that is, bypass the
rule) or reinvoke a daemon that's attached to a divert socket. Otherwise,
the process that's attached to the socket becomes an Achilles' heel for
the whole system. Crash it for any reason, and the system's offline.

Ideas?

Mounting a Samab share at boot time

[stan]

I've got a boot up timing race issue.

Here is what I'm trying to do. I want to mount a Samba share from a remote
machine on boot up. Presently I have the appropriate entry in /etc/fsatb,
such that I can mount the share _once I am in multiuser_. I have figured
out how to get the smbfs kernel module loaded at boot time, using
/boot/loader.conf.

However, it appears that the remaining problem is that the NIC is not yet
configured when the startup scripts try to mount the file systems. Therefore
the system drops to a shell prompt since it can't mount _all_ the
file systems.

Seems like this issue would exist for NFS file systems that were staticly
mount (as opposed to automonted).

How can I get around this?

Re: FreeBSD lacks PPPoE (pppoa3 solution)

[Peter Elsner]

I don't know what version of FreeBSD you are using, but PPPoE
has been available on FreeBSD for quite some time.
A quick search on Google with "PPPoE on FreeBSD" pulled up dozens of
sites that show how-to's on PPPoE with FreeBSD.

everyone uses it.

Network not working correctly without promiscuous mode being set?

[David]

my setup is basically like this: I have a freebsd machine that is supposed
to act as a gateway, it has 2 ethernet cards xl0 (local network) and xl1
(internet).  xl1 is plugged directly into the cable modem and off it goes,
and xl0 is plugged into a switch where all the other machines are plugged
into locally.  xl1 is 65.35.123.123 for example and internally xl0 is
172.16.16.1.

If i attempt to ping 172.16.16.10 from .1 it does not work/go through.  if I
run tcpdump -i xl0, then try to ping again it will go through just fine and
i see the packets going both ways now.  Without tcpdump in promisc it wasn't
working?  Now when i try to get a DHCP lease on xl1 it sits there and sends
requests with no replies, then when i run tcpdump -i xl1 it will get a lease
and the internet will work fine.  This is as best I can describe the issue
and below is some included information.

Re: fscking remotely

[pbdlists]

I have a couple of completely headless systems (some of them so far away
it takes about 12 hours by direct flight). But I always make sure there
are at the very least 2 systems at each location and they are together
close enough to run serial cables between them. Then I redirect the
console to the first serial port and can access it from the other
machine through the serial cable. Works very well, I've even done
complete reinstalls this way.

As Will Saxon and Lowell Gilbert pointed out, both the Handbook and the
example supfiles themselves contain information on this topic.  To put it
very simply, as has often been noted in FreeBSD-questions (thus available
with a Google Groups search), -CURRENT and -STABLE have the same ports
collection.

Handbook, FAQ, man pages, example files, Google Groups searches and other
resources such as http://www.onlamp.com/bsd/> are excellent places
to find thorough, freely available information.  If you'd like a
reference sitting on your desk, there's Greg Lehey's "The Complete
FreeBSD" or Michael Lucas' "Absolute BSD."  And if you can't seem to find
what you need in any of these places or are confused by what you read
there, why, there's always this list.  :)

bzflag 1.7g2 for FreeBSD?

[grwufwuf]

Deepest apologies if I missed the answer to this in a previous post, but I found 
nothing in the website's archives.

bzflag 1.7g2 is out (an OpenGL tank game).  I tried compiling from source but without 
much luck (gl lib errors; I can tweak some things, but not experienced enough to 
tackle graphics libs yet).  Does ports (FreeBSD 4.8) have this version updated?  

Its hardly a crucial application (debatable, especially around 2 in the morning :), 
but thought I'd ask in case there's a port of the new release somewhere for 
freeBSD-stable.  Thanks!

openldap ssh problem

[Monah Baki]

Hi all,

I'm just installed freebsd 5.1 running openldap and pam_ldap from 
padl.com.

I created a userid and made sure he had 2 different password in 
/etc/passwd and in the openldap database.

I was able to ssh using the openldap database password when the user 
exist locally (/etc/passwd), but when I deleted his local account, I 
can no longer ssh using the openldap database password.

my /etc/pam.d/ssh file:

auth   sufficient   pam_ldap.so
auth   required pam_nologin.so
auth   required pam_unix.so
accountsufficient   pam_ldap.so
accountrequired pam_unix.so
sessionsufficient   pam_ldap.so
sessionrequired pam_unix.so
password   sufficient   pam_ldap.so
password   required pam_unix.so
Am I missing anything



Thank you.

No, the above will not create the boot block(s), nor partition the disk. 
Easiest way to do that is to fire up /stand/sysinstall, bypass the 
install stuff and go directly to the disk partition actions. Invoke the 
"write" function before leaving each of the partitioner and disk 
labeler. Use the standard FreeBSD boot manager and let it write the 
MBR.

The above pax command "works" but does not preserve file flags. "-p e" 
preserves mode bits and timestamps, but I'm not so sure about the flags 
which chflags(8) would manipulate. I believe dump(8) piped into 
restore(8) would. Something like this:

# dump 0af - / | ( cd /mnt; restore rf - )

Repeat above for each filesystem.

In fact there was an editorial suggestion in a recent _eWeek_

to the point that managers concerned about SCO's litigation should

Chad Dickerson, the CTO of InfoWorld, made that suggestion in his weblog a couple of 
weeks back (possibly that's where you saw it?): I've been at him for awhile to upgrade

Yes.  You need to look at nss_ldap ;)

  Be aware that for some reason the ldap.conf file resides in /etc not
/usr/local/etc.  Also, I found that my nsswitch.conf only worked if it
was:

passwd: ldap files
group: ldap files

(i.e. not files ldap).  ymmv.

Ah.  Sorry, I just missed that.  In which case, as I understand it,
pam_ldap is of little use to you... I've just upgraded my server to 5.1
for that very reason.

Re: Mounting a Samab share at boot time

[Murray Taylor]

I believe that the method mentioned here is the appropriate way.

#!/bin/sh
#
# $Id: smbfs.sh.sample,v 1.3 2001/01/13 04:50:36 bp Exp $
#
# Location: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/smbfs.sh
#
# Simple script to mount smbfs file systems at startup.
# It assumes that all mount points described in fstab file and password
# entries listed in /root/.nsmbrc file. See mount_smbfs(8) for details.
#
 
mount="/sbin/mount -o -N"
umount=/sbin/umount
HOME=/root; export HOME
vols=`awk -- '/^\/.*[[:space:]]+smbfs[[:space:]]+/ { print $2 }'
/etc/fstab`
 
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "smbfs: "
for vol in ${vols}; do
$mount $vol
echo -n "$vol "
done
;;
stop)
echo -n "unmounting smbfs mount points: "
for vol in ${vols}; do
$umount $vol
echo -n "$vol "
done
;;
*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
exit 64
esac
 
echo "Done"



It seems to me that the reason for this is that the ufs kernel
'knowledge' allows the fstab mounts for the ufs slices to progress but
perhaps the smbfs module is not yet loaded, so the smb mounts go
pearshaped in auto mode.

Re: mpd - question

[Murray Taylor]

We are using mpd configured to provide vpn services
for upto 254 simutaneous users through our frame-relay connected
firewall/DMZ from whatever isp they are using.

I think the most we have had online at once so far is 17.
(we dont yet have 254 roaming users 8-)
Some of our vpn connections are actually sub-net in remote offices
where they use either dialup to the isp or adsl to 
their isp. It all comes in on Frame relay (and then through 
netgraph) before being processed by mpd (also based on netgraph)

If you are using ppp to dial in, use the options -nat and -ddial
That will keep your connection up 24h/day .

to host virtual email accounts. But I can´t find info on how to limit space on virtual 
users' accounts. Has anyone in this list some info about this?

Thanks in advance.
