Dear freeBSD,

 


I am running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on my staging server and having one problem

I have read a lot of documentation and google on the web to get the solution
for how to customize installation for ffmpeg utility. Normally, freeBSD
provides s lot of packages and ports that can be covered the average
requirements. 

 


On my server, I have installed ffmpeg from the provided port with the
command "make install clean". After installation, I am able to encode the
input files from some location of server such "usr/local/bin" and cannot
implement with PHP(I used exec() command). FFmpeg-php is a object oriented
API for PHP and ffmpeg implementation. I was not able to install that API on
freeBSD.

 


And there are some other configuration such "--enable-shared --enable-gpl"
and other libraries they can use in ffmpeg by configuration with ./configure
command. But I was not able to find how to configure before install ffmpeg.
If you would be able to give me a solution that would be great. I will
really appreciate.
  


Don't know about ffmpeg-php or anything, as I've never used them. 
However, you could do a few different things to change the configure 
arguments. You could just edit the Makefile in the port's directory, or 
you could define some make variables either through /etc/make.conf or by 
defining them on the command line like


make -DWITH_SWSCALER

which will do the same thing as configure --enable-swscaler. Look 
through the Makefile for the defaults (both switches you mentioned are 
on by default in my ports tree) and all availible switches. Make syntax 
is simple enough, so you should be able to figure it out without much 
trouble. Also, you might want to run make configure instead of make 
install or even just make, since that will run the configure script and 
then stop, so you can look over the output and adjust as necessary 
before continuing the build.
 

 


Looking forward to get an answer

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your answer. 

  
No problem, but please remember to include the list in any replies 
unless the person you're talking with spefically asks to take the 
conversation off-list. This will ensure that you get the widest possible 
audience for your questions, and generally, the best possible answers as 
well. Also, please remember to bottom-post your replies, since it makes 
the conversation easier to read for people joining in the middle.



Again let me have one more question, I cannot encode the .wmv to .flv. It
seems ffmpeg of port is outdated, but I downladed the port from the
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg/?only_with_tag
=RELEASE_6_2_0
  


If you want the newer versions of software from the ports tree, don't 
limit your results by the tag. Basically, you're saying (IIRC) "I want 
the version of the port that was included with this release" instead of 
"I want the most recent version of this port." the release versions of 
the ports will only be updated for bug fixes, etc. Not new features. I'd 
suggest that you just use portsnap to update your local ports tree and 
go from there. If you've never used portsnap before, do the following


portsnap fetch extract

If you have already done the extract step above, then use this

portsnap fetch update

from now on. Every time you run this command, your ports tree is updated 
with the latest software. As long as you aren't on a really ancient 
release, software from the ports tree will ALMOST always compile and 
install fine. After your ports tree is updated, just


cd /usr/ports/multimedia/ffmpeg
make deinstall<- to remove the older version
make install clean   <-to install the new version

Now you should have the latest version and all it's capabilities. I 
don't know specifically if this will solve your wmv -> flv problem, but 
if not, you will be at a better place to ask questions. You would 
probably want to ask your questions about specific software at the 
developer's forums or mailing lists though, since this list is supposed 
to be mainly for questions about freebsd itself. Good Luck!

Does it not update?

Beastie's Law:

  Any demand of a modification of FreeBSD or it's website

Political Incorrectness is very subjective though.



It doesen't matter.  What constitutes a Nazi comparison is also
very subjective.  However, Godwin's law works anyway.
  


According to wikipedia (I am aware this isn't a real source) Godwin's 
law is defined thusly.


As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison 
involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.


The law isn't subjective at all. It specifically requires the comparison 
of one of the points or platforms to those of Nazis or Hitler himself. 
The comparison itself could be as oblique or subjective as you want, but 
the fact is that it must DIRECTLY involve Nazis or Hitler.


However, I don't agree that the proposed Beastie's Law is subjective 
either. It states that the person making the demands is using political 
incorrectness as one of their points as to why the change should be 
made. Whether or not everyone will agree on the political 
(in)correctness of the proposed change is irrelevant.

ssmtp

2006-03-29 Thread Andy Greenwood
I'm having some trouble setting up ssmtp. I want to use logrotate to
compress and email my server's logs to my gmail account. I can echo text
directly to ssmtp and have it send the message ok, but when I try to use
/usr/bin/mail, I get logs in my maillog trying to use sendmail, which is set
to none in rc.conf. How do I set this up so that all mail sends out through
ssmtp?

 /usr/local/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
#
# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
#

# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and your mailhub is so
named.
mailhub=mail.myisp.net

# Example for SMTP port number 2525
# mailhub=mail.your.domain:2525
# Example for SMTP port number 25 (Standard/RFC)
# mailhub=mail.your.domain
# Example for SSL encrypted connection
# mailhub=mail.your.domain:465

# Where will the mail seem to come from?
rewriteDomain=myisp.net

# The full hostname
hostname=behemoth.mydomain.com

# Set this to never rewrite the "From:" line (unless not given) and to
# use that address in the "from line" of the envelope.
#FromLineOverride=YES

# Use SSL/TLS to send secure messages to server.
#UseTLS=YES

# Use SSL/TLS certificate to authenticate against smtp host.
#UseTLSCert=YES

# Use this RSA certificate.
#TLSCert=/usr/local/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.pem


Here's an example:
#mail -s test message [EMAIL PROTECTED] < Some_File
#tail /var/log/maillog
Mar 29 10:58:47 behemoth sendmail[41971]: k2TFwkuV041971: from=root,

stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]
Obviously I don't get anything coming through with this example

but
#echo test | ssmtp [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mar 29 11:03:24 behemoth sSMTP[42000]: Sent mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED](221

I don't, and I don't think anyone would deny that statement. However, that
doesn't necessarily mean that those concepts are not solid ground on which
to build an OS. Hammurabi wrote the first set of laws for a civilized
nation, and those laws have been under refinement for the past ~2200 years.
Granted there are some problems with current laws, but just like in (most
first-world) countries where the public has a say in how they are governed,
so does the open source community have a say in the development of thier
projects.

Please explain how building an OS on solid techniquies and with a mind
towards usability, stability, and scalability constitutes building on
shallow grounds. Furthermore, please explain what shallow ground actually
means. I was under the impression that all grounds are pretty deep, going
through the core of the Earth and all

Re: flp wont load to floppies

2006-03-31 Thread Andy Greenwood
right, if you are trying to copy the image directly to a fat16 (windows
format) floppy disk, you might run out of room because the fat16 fs takes up
some space on the disk. Also, the disks might be bad and be covered with bad
sectors that you can't use. Make sure you are doing it the right way and try
some other disks too. The last time I installed, I had to boot from floppy
and went through about 4 or 5 disks before I had enough good ones.

CLI text editor recommendation

2006-09-13 Thread Andy Greenwood

I need a CLI text editor I can use over ssh, which does NOT append
newlines to the end of files as I save them. I am using this to edit
PHP files, and my PHP doesn't like newlines outside the last ?>. ee
and vi both do so, I tried nano which also does the same. I haven't
installed emacs to try that yet, since the man page says that it also
does the same thing. Does anyone have any ideas?

Another question: Why do so many text editors have this behavior?
Should a text editor really add text that I don't tell it to add to my
file? It seems that there must be some reason.

Not an editor, but why not just do this:

. php will treat the rest of the file as php

the option is presented when setting up a new box.

I highly doubt that it would be enabled by default in FreeBSD, since
many of our users (or their employers) would consider it a privacy
breach to have their systems reporting back automatically.

Thank you everyone for responding to my initial question.

  In hindsight I realize I worded my original inquiry inaccurately.  What I am 
attempting to determine is how well or if ver 6.1 will work on a 4GB hard drive 
with a Pentium 4 - 3.06GHz cpu and 1GB ram?  The machine has a 232GB hard drive 
but I have another 4GB drive sitting around being unused that I was thinking of 
adding to the machine to configure in a dual boot setup with the 4GB drive 
being totally allocated to FreeBSD.


You certainly can do this. I used to have freebsd installed on a 4 GB
drive myself (6.0 and 6.1) Keep in mind thought, that you probably
won't be able to have a whole desktop environment with all the
ammenities. You could, however, install the base system on the smaller
drive, then mount the larger drive and install stuff on there.



  However, before attempting that task I am trying to determine whether or not 
it would be even feasible to use a 4GB drive to install v 6.1 or should I use a 
larger drive to install the many of FreeBSD's features?  And if a larger drive 
how large of a drive would I need to utilize many or any of its features 
without limiting myself to a bare bones setup?  Additionally, if the 4GB drive 
will work how limited would the install/capabilities/features be?


If you don't need a GUI or anything like that, you could probably do
lots with this drive, without touching the larger drive. I ran my 4 GB
machine as a router/firewall/apache/mysql server for months. Keep in
mind too, that my machine's specs were considerably below yours. It
all really depends on what you want to do with the machine. If you
want KDE, good luck, it's not going to happen. If you want a router or
something, it'll be easy.



  I am not at all opposed to using a larger drive but at the present time do 
not have a clue as to what size drive I should use for the most flexibility 
regarding type of installation options.

Re: bittorrent consuming 100% cpu

2006-10-17 Thread Andy Greenwood

I'd recommend transmission. You can get the source from
http://transmission.m0k.org/. You can configure it for console use
with

./configure --disable-gtk && gmake. It needs GNU make, BSD make won't
work. Uses very little resources as it's written in C, so your python
port won't matter.

a different client I should be using?

I would recommend using csup instead of cvsup.
It has fewer dependencies, is very lightweight and works very well
if you just want to occasionally checkout ports or src.
I believe that csup is also part of the basesystem in newer releases.

I use the same files for csup as I used for cvsup. You should not
have to change anything except removing the 'v' after the 'c' in
'cvsup' on the command-line. :)

Csup is basically cvsup rewritten in C instead of Modula-3. While
cvsup is an excellent program that certainly makes exactly what it
was designed to do, it unfortunately has some dependencies that are
not common on most installations.
I do not know of any advantages that cvsup might have over csup,
more then the fact that it is a thoroughly tested program that has
performed well for several years, while csup is a relatively new
program. AFAIK there has not been any reports of problem with csup
though, so I would say its safe to use.



Thanks for the info! Anything I can do to reduce dependancies on my
underpowered frankenstein box is a good thing!

PF, for two reasons. Firstly, because I don't have to mess with

rules will be executed in that order. Secondly becuase I can easily
integrate bruteforceblocker.

Wow.  I can see some advantages either way, but I can't see any
differences on those grounds.  After all, rule numbers *aren't*
required in ipfw (even the example script doesn't use them).  And
bruteblock works with ipfw in *very* much the same way that
bruteforceblock does with pf.


Sorry, that should've been Altq, not bruteforceblocker. I wasn't aware
that rule numbers weren't required in IPFW. Oh well, you learn
something new everyday.

Re: /var corrupted.....

2006-11-03 Thread Andy Greenwood

couldn't you do something like this?

1) install all your "big" ports (leafs with lots of dependancies)
2) run this to get a list of depedancy ports which should already be
there, just not in /var/db/pkg

# pkg_info -ar | awk '/Dependency:/ {print $2}'|sort|uniq

3) "install" these ports so that they get added to /var/db/pkg.

Seems like this should work, am I missing something?

Thanks.  Good ideas.  I'll play with this when I have time.  But after
using mtree to recreate the structure in /var (off the / filesystem),
things came back online pretty well.  I'll most likely get things put
back together and then just recreate the /var filesystem and copy
everything back into it.

I'm presently doing this now.  I have reinstalled most, if not all, top

that will take a fair amount of time.

Thank you for this hint. I have checked the conf file. I do not have any

the CPUTYPE, CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS are make.conf variables, not kernel

Security through obscurity is a bad idea. Rather, use SSH key based
authentication exclusively.  Turn off all of the password stuff in
sshd_config.  Laugh at the poor fools trying to break in.


I second this notion. I had bruteforceblocker running and recently
switched to key based auth only. The good news is no one is breaking
in. the bad news is that my server is remote and difficult to get
physical access to and the only key I uploaded initially was my work
PC. Tried to get in from home over the weekend and found that I had
locked myself out! doh! Just make sure that you have at least one PC
you can get to from anywhere which has a key to get into your server.

Re: changing swap size

2006-11-13 Thread Andy Greenwood

Hello,

Following the advice about periodic freezes, I am going to add some RAM to
my system. However, currently my swap size is 512MB. If I increase RAM to,
say, 1GB, would I need to change the swap size to 2GB? If so, is it a safe
process (I assume this can be done using FIPS)? Would I need to boot first
in single-user mode?


As has already been said, you don't really need to change your swap
size unless you're going to be using all of your physical memory and
need the additional space. Since it doesn't sound like you're going to
be putting any more load on the server, it's unnecessary. However, if
you want to do it, you could, without going to single-user mode:

1) create an empty file somewhere. This will make a 1 MB file, adjust
bs and count as you need to.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/some.file bs=1k count=1024

2) create a file based device with mdconfig like this.
# mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/some.file

3) swapon your shiny new md device. Use the md device that was given
as output from the above command.
# swapon /dev/md0

4) verify that your device is now working as a swap device with
# swapinfo -h

5) now you can swapoff your main swap, change it as you need, and swapon it back
# swapoff /dev/ad0s1b

# swapon /dev/ad0s1b

6) now that you new, improved swap is working, you can swapoff your
temporary swap, remove the md device, delete the file, and verify that
your swap is right
# swapoff /dev/md0
# mdconfig -d -u md0
# rm /path/to/some.file
# swapinfo -h


Any other thoughts? BTW - is there any easy way to
make sure how much RAM is currently installed other than looking into the
hardware? Top:

Mem: 146M Active, 23M Inact, 98M Wired, 15M Cache, 41M Buf, 22M Free

Which would seem to suggest I have 345 MB RAM. But from what I recall this

uhci.ko keeps showing up

2006-11-13 Thread Andy Greenwood

I've commented out device uhci in my kernel config, but I keep getting
uhci.ko loaded on boot. I'm not using usb at all. I understand that I
should be able to disable usb in my bios, but it's difficult to get
to, as the server is remote. Is there anything I can do to prevent the
uhci.ko from being loaded?

Hello to all,

I have a question about what software is best for a good web hosting
server on freeBSD, for one site hosting and for multiple site. The
server I like to be secure.

Programs I think is best for a web hosting are:

- Apache 2
- MySQL 5
- PHP 5
- awstat
- ftp server ... I don't really know what to install, proftpd it's good ?
- iptables -- for firewall


There are of course, lots of options, but as for your firewall, AFAIK
you can't use iptables. It's a Linux thing. Look into pf (my favorite)
ipf and ipfw. they are the main choices for firewalls on FreeBSD.




If anybody have experience and have a suggestions or a simple
documentation only for this I like to share it.

PS: I work in most of my time with gentoo, I'm new in the freeBSD world.

Thank you very much and have a nice day !

Re: Password Security

2006-11-22 Thread Andy Greenwood

I've used geli to encrypt my swap partition following the instructions
in the handbook and it went quite well. If you really need to secure
the data on the machine, mark the terminal as insecure and encrypt all
the disks, including swap.

Keep in mind though, that no system is completely secure. It may be
secure enough, but there is *always* a way in for the determined
individual.

If you have a decent internet connection, cable or better,  you can download just the bootonly.iso and burn that to CD.  You have to burn it as an .iso file so your CD is bootable.   If you go this route, most of your install will be over the net.  You'll have the option to pick your source, ie: CD, FTP, etc... during the install.  If you download all the .iso's, then you can pick CD during install and you should be good to go.

Remember, disk sizes have shot up too.
No, 2 GB is not excessive.   You can get by with less, but you're
not likely to be using proportionately as much disk now as you used

Remember that swap gets used for crash dumps and also for paging.
Now, you may think that you want to keep your machine from paging 
and in one sense that is true.   If you are so memory bound that
it has to page just to run, you're going to be so slow that it 
seems to have froze (by today's standards).   But, the system does

write stuff to page space and for processes that are often called
it can speed things up.  


So, it is not really a waste to assign that much to swap.

My understanding was that you should estimate swap size based on the 
sizes of the programs which might be paged out. However, when I first 
set up my system, I didn't know this and created 1G swap slices (one on 
each disk) but I am not convinced that this was the best thing to do, 
since my system almost never uses a noticible percentage of the swap 
space. right now, I've got


[EMAIL PROTECTED] fusefs-sshfs]$ swapinfo

Total 2097152 2244  2094908 0%

And the system is under normal load. This system has 1G of RAM. Is there 
any sense in having this much swap space when it's not being used?

In the last episode (Aug 26), Aminuddin said:
  

How do you block this large range of ip addresses from
different subnet? IPFW only allows 65536 rules while this
will probably use up a few hundred thousands of lines.

I'm also trying to add this into my proxy configuration file,
ss5.conf but it doesn't allow me to add this large number.

IS this the limitation of IPF or FreeBSD? How do I work
around this?


Even though there are 65536 rule numbers, each number can
actually have any amount of rules assigned to it.  What you're
probably looking for, though, is ipfw's table keyword, which
uses the same radix tree lookup format as the kernel's routing
tables, so it scales well to large amounts of sparse addresses. 
man ipfw, search for "lookup tables".
  

I intend to create a ruleset file consisting of this statement:

Ruleset

add 2300 skipto 2301 ip from 0.0.0.0/6 to any
add 2400 skipto 2401 ip from any to 0.0.0.0/6
add 2300 skipto 2302 ip from 4.0.0.0/6 to any
add 2400 skipto 2402 ip from any to 4.0.0.0/6


[...]
  

add 2300 skipto 2363 ip from 248.0.0.0/6 to any
add 2400 skipto 2463 ip from any to 248.0.0.0/6
add 2300 skipto 2364 ip from 252.0.0.0/6 to any
add 2400 skipto 2464 ip from any to 252.0.0.0/6

add 2301 deny ip from 3.0.0.0/8 to any
add 2401 reject ip from any to 3.0.0.0/8
add 2302 deny ip from 4.0.25.146/31 to any
add 2402 reject ip from any to 4.0.25.146/31


[...]
  

add 2302 deny ip from 4.18.37.16/28 to any
add 2402 reject ip from any to 4.18.37.16/28
add 2302 deny ip from 4.18.37.128/25 to any
add 2402 reject ip from any to 4.18.37.128/25
end ruleset

Will the above rules block me from ssh into my remote server if
the ip addresses of my local pc (dynamic ip) not within any of
the above rules ip range as well as block my snmpd services?


Yes; it's a little convoluted but should work.  You want to drop
incoming packets from the listed IP ranges, and return a "host
unreachable" to internal machines sending outgoing packets to the
listed IP ranges?  Wouldn't it be easier to use ipfw's table
feature and have something like this:

add table 1 3.0.0.0/8
add table 1 4.0.25.146/31
add table 1 4.0.25.148/32
[...]
add table 1 4.18.37.16/28
add table 1 4.18.37.128/25
add 2300 deny ip from table 1 to any
add 2400 reject ip from any to table 1

That way you only have two ipfw rules, both of which use a single
table lookup.
  

My complete list has about 300K of lines. It takes about a few hours
just to load the rules. Will it be faster to load using the table?

 
I did a quick test myself by fetching the safepeer ip list and adding

it via rules and tables.  This was a quick hack, so I'm just adding the
first IP in each line, not the whole netblock (I didn't want to write a
range->netmask converter).  On my heavily-loaded box (currently doing a
buildworld and some mrtg sweeps), I'm only able to insert about 60 ipfw
"deny ip from 4.0.25.146 to any"-format rules per second.  By contrast:

([EMAIL PROTECTED]) /tmp># head -3 splist1.table
table 1 add 0.0.0.0
table 1 add 4.0.25.146
table 1 add 4.0.26.14
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) /tmp># wc -l splist1.table
  191637 splist1.table
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) /tmp># time ipfw /tmp/splist1.table
ipfw /tmp/splist1.table: U:3.30s S:1.75s E:6.74s CPU:75% Faults:0/95 I/O:0/0
Swaps:0
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) /tmp># ipfw table 1 list | wc -l
  191637

Under 7 seconds to load all 191k entries :)

  


Please don't top-post.

My understanding is that anything not blocked by these rules will be 
allowed, unless it is blocked somewhere else in your firewall config.


An easy way to make sure you don't lock yourself out (at least 
permanently) is to write up a shell script that will revert your rules 
to your current ruleset and enter it as a cron job set to be run every 5 
minutes or so. That way, even if you do lock yourself out, it'll only be 
a few minutes. If it works and you're not locked out, remove the cron job.

OK...


If you know the full list of leaf ports you want installed, you could do 
something like this for each port, which should fetch and allow you to 
config all your ports. You could run this on a seperate terminal for 
each port.


# cd /usr/ports/category/port && make config-recursive fetch-recursive

Downloading should never interference with compiling (other than 
faster consumption of disk space :) ), so this is an improvement that 
can/should be made. Send the recommendation to the commiters?

It was funny for me because I set the max con rule to 10 and then logged

as a result I blocked myself the access to the machine. I logged in from
another IP and commented out the pf.conf file entries for the bruteforce

Been there, done that I'd say... But it's a pain to do system
administration all the day. Years ago this was fun, but nowadays you
have to waste your time with staying up to date with firewall
configurations, bugs and their exploits. New ways for spammers to get
their unwanted mails into my inbox so I need to install new products,
applying patches...
I'm a (Solaris) Sysadmin responsible for several hundred boxes, so
when I come home i want to have some fun with my private machines.
"Fighting another round in the war for security in the Internet" isn't
fun for me.

Yes, I know, in this case I have to trust that the companies i sign up
with do their job, but I hope that they have departments that dedicate
their time to their tasks.

I consider gmail to be one of the best free mail providers on this
planet. I get more then I paid for. That is to say, I can store nearly
3GB of data on their servers, leaving enough room for even the biggest
mails - and a nice mailing list archive. :-D


I agree completely.I rolled a script that emails my bzipped log files
to gmail too, so I can rotate them out sooner and save that much more
space on my ancient PII.


Most important is that they don't append commercials to sent mail. And
the ads displayed while in the inbox aren't that noticable.
I had accounts with mail providers such as gmx.net, yahoo, web.de (a
german provider who has won over 40 prices for his freemail service --
don't ask me why). I've seen freemail web sites that were crowded with
ads, or account being limited to 500 mails in total. Ridiculus limits
for attachment sizes. The list goes on and on.
What I really like with google is the label-thing. I don't like mails
being sorted in folders, so it suits me perfectly.

On the other side it's what google can do with my data that makes me
nervous. So nothing is perfect, but for me gmail is the service that
comes closest to it.

The weird thing is that I'm logged into this box over ssh. I shouldn't
be able to connect to the box if there's something wrong with the

I have already tried setting the mtu to 1400 with no result and
rebooting, also with no result, but I'm really not sure where to go
from here. Any help on this would be much appreciated. I've attached
my pf.conf, but it hasn't changed in a few weeks and this just started
happening a couple days ago. It coincided with me adding my new Wii to
the wireless network, but I can't see how that could've messed up the
routing on Behemoth.

send error with perl and unix domain sockets

2007-04-12 Thread Andy Greenwood

I'm working on getting a script to work (see below). It is a perl
daemon associated with a bittorent client that I am helping develop.
The daemon uses unix domain sockets to commincate with the php pages.
However, anytime a message is sent via php, the script dies with

send: Cannot determine peer address at
/usr/local/www/root/tf-b4rt/trunk/html/bin/fluxd/fluxd.pl line 1256

I did some reasearch and found a similar problem with OpenBSD's perl
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2007/02/msg121151.html

and tried to apply that fix to my own Socket.pm's. I modified these files
[EMAIL PROTECTED] p5-IO]$ locate Socket.pm
/usr/home/andy/.cpan/build/IO-1.2301/IO/Socket.pm
/usr/home/andy/.cpan/build/IO-1.2301/blib/lib/IO/Socket.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/IO/Socket.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/Socket.pm

and re-started my process, but no effect. the bug report above
suggests that this was a problem for OpenBSD due to differences in
struct sockaddr_un. Could that be a problem here as well?

the php code which communicates with the socket is below

-begin php--
   /**
* send command
*
* @param $command
* @param $read does this command return something ?
* @return string with retval or null if error
*/
   function instance_sendCommand($command, $read = 0) {
   if ($this->state == FLUXD_STATE_RUNNING) {
   // create socket
   $socket = -1;
   $socket = @socket_create(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
   if ($socket < 0) {
   array_push($this->messages , "socket_create() failed:
reason: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]($socket));
   $this->state = FLUXD_STATE_ERROR;
   return null;
   }
   //timeout after n seconds
   @socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO,
array('sec' => $this->_socketTimeout, 'usec' => 0));
   // connect
   $result = -1;
   $result = @socket_connect($socket, $this->_pathSocket);
   if ($result < 0) {
   array_push($this->messages , "socket_connect() failed:
reason: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]($result));
   $this->state = FLUXD_STATE_ERROR;
   return null;
   }
   // write command
   @socket_write($socket, $command."\n");
   // read retval
   $return = "";
   if ($read != 0) {
   do {
   // read data
   $data = @socket_read($socket,
4096, PHP_BINARY_READ);
   $return .= $data;
   } while (isset($data) && ($data != ""));
   }
   // close socket
   @socket_close($socket);
   // return
   return $return;
   } else { // fluxd not running
   return null;
   }
   }
-end php---

and the perl daemon's socket code is below

--begin perl--
sub checkConnections {
   # Get the readable handles. timeout is 0, only process stuff that can be
   # read NOW.
   my $return = "";
   my @ready = $select->can_read(0);
   foreach my $socket (@ready) {
   if ($socket == $server) {
   my $new = $socket->accept();
   $select->add($new);
   } else {
   my $buf = "";
   my $char = getc($socket);
   while ((defined($char)) && ($char ne "\n")) {
   $buf .= $char;
   $char = getc($socket);
   }
   $return = processRequest($buf);
   $socket->send($return);

7:04 AM, Wednesday, December 20, 2006

In Winblow$, the release & bundling of IE was purposely as crippleware,
virus, & bug delivery system 2 trap people into constantly 'upgrading'.  A
simple comparisson of Windows 95 side-by-side with the final Windows ME &
various IE 'upgrades' illustrates how the supposedly 'new & improved' stuff
is actually about 1/5 the speed, & about 10X less reliable.

The Ephiphany:  A similar crippleware model exists in UNIX & Linux, BSD,
Dragonfly, IRIX, Open VMS, etc!  But what is the method of crippling?  The
USER INTERFACE is purposely difficult to use, requiring vast tracts of
arcane code & 'switches' the user is 'supposed' to be able to remember.  The
OS Kernels are designed to require constant patching or nothing runs
properly when 'upgrading' softwares.  What is the result?  Well, the OS &
applications may be free, but the system administrator type costs are not.
I have concluded, in a flash of insight, that all of the non-windows OSes,
save perhaps TRON (which is a Jap OS that is actually designed to simply
WORK - runs most cell  phones, anti-lock brakes, etc.) - the function of
most free OSes & softwares is to create a market for engineering services to
create a functional environment with them.

While even though WInblow$ is crippled & slowed down artificially like
molasses in a 'stock' install, at least it FUNCTIONS.  Free operating
systems never do. It's hell even trying to convigure the hardware, on which
Windows everything in that respect is done automatically.

If a bunch of morons at Micro$hit can make drivers automatically load, &
systems automatically configure, damn sure a bunch of tweaky inventors at
'god-knows-what-or-another' linux could do it to.  Truth is, they simply
have no interest in making things configure easily.  It would put the
'sysadmins' who wrote the programs out of a job!

When I approached Dragonfly & BSD about simply offering a menu-driven
interface, like WIndow$, so things could be easily configured & installed,
those who didn't simply ignore me made a point of laughing at me & mocking
me.  They are simply not even interested in making it easy.  They WANT it 2
B hard 2 use.  It is done BY DESIGN!

Sick - but true.  Rather like how doctors in America inject people over &
over with mercury in vaccines, so they get 'disseasses' like 'autism' &
'altzheimers' (just different names for mercury poisoning).


I have no desire to get involved in a flame war, but are you sure on
this one? http://www.cdc.gov/od/science/iso/concerns/thimerosal.htm


Free operating
systems, on average, are written specificaly to work well once configured,
but the configuration to be a complete nightmare so as to create a need for
'system administrator' employees.  They write it 2 B a pain in the ass, 2
assure their own job security.  Just like M$ writes Windoze 2 B full of
bugs, so they can keep selling the same crap over & over "oh but we fixed it
this time" - yeah right :))  I am still using the shell from Windows95.
It's the only stable, AND fast shell that Microsoft has released.  Even
their own services like MSN & Hotmail don't use their own shit.  THey use
BSD!  & I am sure, over at Hurricane Internet (their subcontractor), those
BSD guys are happy to spend their days 'configuring' things for a pretty
penny!

HAHAHAHA - the 'unix' geeks R laughing all the way 2 the bank!  They're not
ripping people off via software per se, but 'services'

What the world needs is a single OS that will run all softwares.  Short of
that, at least an OS that will run all versions of Windows software.  The
very first pre-IE Windows95 shell comes very close - few bugs in it, but
relatively minor. It is the best product Microsoft has ever produced.  We
should get together & release a 'toolkit' to upgrade the kernel from this
early 1995 release, so it will be compatable with things like 'get special
folders path' and '.net' & other bullshit that 3rd programmers have written
into their code 2 look 4 in the shell.  Basically, take those few elements
REQUIRED from the last shells, & make a way 2 import only those
NON-crippling functions into the first shell.

'Get special folders path' is a particularly common error, as
incompatability goes.  About 1 in 5 new programs expect that 'function call'
or whatever.  It is easy enough 2 switch shells while installing or using
those programs, but it incapacitates the functionality of the other kernel
things - like being able 2 move vast tracts of files around without the
whole OS locking up LOL

Oh notice also how if you take Windows98 & upgrade it to the 'latest
greatest' IE, it will lock up the computer even MORE often LOL!!!  I mean,
just trying 2 move some files around- & everything freezes!  So people are
saying 'get me XP NOW!' - haha - if they just put the 95 shell on there, the
fucking machines SCREAM! :)  OOOH 30,000 files - can I have some more?  Oh
nice, 55,000 folders - yum!

If you're refering to the port dependancy configs, you can try

# make config-recursive

which will present you with all the config options for all the

You can pretty easily set up a FBSD router to shpe bandwidth like
this. I have done exactly that using the PF firewall with ALTQ.
Unfortunately, ALTQ is not availible as a loadable module, so if you
want to use it, you'll have to recompile the kernel with support
enabled.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-pf.html
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/

that should get you started


BTW: Is it true that are some types of traffic that need higher priority, such
as games using UDP, so that data does not lag?


Absolutely it is true. I don't run any gaming through my firewall, but
one great example is TCP ACK packets. If you are on an asymmetrical
connection (up/down bandwith aren't equal) you should prioritize
outgoing TCP ACK packets to the highest level, since this will improve
download performance.

You might want to look at ports/security/pfw if you're not familiar
with pf syntax, and it can make building a ruleset a lot easier, at
least for the first time.

I prefer portmanager -slid.



I've always used pkg_rmleaves... pops up a nice little dialog listing all
the ports that aren't required by any other ports... check the ones you
want to get rid of...  on my non-serious boxes I tend to check anything I
don't recognize and/or things I know I want gone.

Then it repeats the process with any new ports that are no longer required
due to anything you just removed.

Seems to work pretty well for me...

being built, look at the MODULES_OVERRIDE or WITHOUT_MODULES options
to make.conf.

man 5 make.conf for more details.

All messages are already tagged with a List-ID

e.g.

List-Id: User questions 

Can gmail not filter on that?


it's not documented, but you can filter like this

listid:freebsd-questions.freebsd.org

under the "has the words" section of the filter creation page.



Visual tagging of subject lines is a poor solution.  Either you tag at
the front

   "[fbsd-questions]  Really long subject line that gets truncated even
earlier thanks to the tag"

or at the end

  "Really long subject line where the tag disappears in a haze of ...
[fbsd-questions]"

Neither of which is satisfactory, and for most people with sensible
email environments that can filter of Header lines, an unnecessary
inconvenience.

Not to mention the question of how on earth you co-ordinate unique tags
across mailing lists.  Since the List-ID isn't constrained by length it
can contain the email address of the list, which is already unique.

If you can't filter on the List-ID then filter on To and Cc lines which
contain [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Not as
good, but it would do.

Re: send error with perl and unix domain sockets

2007-05-01 Thread Andy Greenwood

Sent this a while back and never got a response. Any ideas would be
very appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm working on getting a script to work (see below). It is a perl
daemon associated with a bittorent client that I am helping develop.
The daemon uses unix domain sockets to commincate with the php pages.
However, anytime a message is sent via php, the script dies with

send: Cannot determine peer address at
/usr/local/www/root/tf-b4rt/trunk/html/bin/fluxd/fluxd.pl line 1256

I did some reasearch and found a similar problem with OpenBSD's perl
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2007/02/msg121151.html

and tried to apply that fix to my own Socket.pm's. I modified these files
[EMAIL PROTECTED] p5-IO]$ locate Socket.pm
/usr/home/andy/.cpan/build/IO-1.2301/IO/Socket.pm
/usr/home/andy/.cpan/build/IO-1.2301/blib/lib/IO/Socket.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/IO/Socket.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/Socket.pm

and re-started my process, but no effect. the bug report above
suggests that this was a problem for OpenBSD due to differences in
struct sockaddr_un. Could that be a problem here as well?

the php code which communicates with the socket is below

-begin php--
   /**
* send command
*
* @param $command
* @param $read does this command return something ?
* @return string with retval or null if error
*/
   function instance_sendCommand($command, $read = 0) {
   if ($this->state == FLUXD_STATE_RUNNING) {
   // create socket
   $socket = -1;
   $socket = @socket_create(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
   if ($socket < 0) {
   array_push($this->messages , "socket_create() failed:
reason: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]($socket));
   $this->state = FLUXD_STATE_ERROR;
   return null;
   }
   //timeout after n seconds
   @socket_set_option($socket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO,
array('sec' => $this->_socketTimeout, 'usec' => 0));
   // connect
   $result = -1;
   $result = @socket_connect($socket, $this->_pathSocket);
   if ($result < 0) {
   array_push($this->messages , "socket_connect() failed:
reason: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]($result));
   $this->state = FLUXD_STATE_ERROR;
   return null;
   }
   // write command
   @socket_write($socket, $command."\n");
   // read retval
   $return = "";
   if ($read != 0) {
   do {
   // read data
   $data = @socket_read($socket,
4096, PHP_BINARY_READ);
   $return .= $data;
   } while (isset($data) && ($data != ""));
   }
   // close socket
   @socket_close($socket);
   // return
   return $return;
   } else { // fluxd not running
   return null;
   }
   }
-end php---

and the perl daemon's socket code is below

--begin perl--
sub checkConnections {
   # Get the readable handles. timeout is 0, only process stuff that can be
   # read NOW.
   my $return = "";
   my @ready = $select->can_read(0);
   foreach my $socket (@ready) {
   if ($socket == $server) {
  my $new = $socket->accept();
   $select->add($new);
   } else {
   my $buf = "";
   my $char = getc($socket);
   while ((defined($char)) && ($char ne "\n")) {
   $buf .= $char;
   $char = getc($socket);
   }
   $return = processRequest($buf);
   $socket->send($return);
   $select->remove($socket);
   close($socket);
   }
   }
}
-end perl--

You need read privs to all the subdirectories, otherwise you'll get 
permission errors and it'll skip those. Note that this displays usage in 
512-byte blocks, not bytes, but you should be able to figure it out from 
there.

Ahh, I had forgotten about -h. I ususally use du -s * | sort -rn  | head 
to find the biggest files/directories in a given directory, and if you 
use -h, you'll get stuff out of order, since 3.8M will come after 4.2K 
in a reversed numerical sort.

syslogd not reading messages from a remote machine

2008-01-11 Thread Andy Greenwood
I have recently set up a Fortigate-60 to run as a firewall/vpn on my 
home network. I have a FreeBSD 7.0-prerelease machine sitting behind it 
in the DMZ which is running ssh/web/etc. I'm trying to get the FG to log 
to the BSD box's syslog. I have set up the necessary stuff on the FG, 
and can send test logs from there to the bsd box. Running tcpdump on the 
bsd box gives me this when sending those test logs:

So I know that the packets are getting to the machine. I've set up 
syslogd to accept packets from 10.10.10.1/32 in rc.conf, and confirmed 
that the FG's IP should be accepted by syslogd

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ports]$ grep syslogd /etc/rc.conf
syslogd_flags="-a 10.10.10.1/32"
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ports]$ ps auxww | grep syslogd
root 8538  0.0  0.1  3156  1088  ??  Ss   10:44AM   0:00.02 
/usr/sbin/syslogd -l /var/run/log -l /var/named/var/run/log -a 10.10.10.1/32


the FG is set to log via local7, and I've set that up too.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ports]$ grep local7 /etc/syslog.conf
local7.*/var/log/fortigate

and the log file exists also.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ports]$ ls -l /var/log/fortigate
-rw-r-  1 root  wheel  0 Jan 11 07:22 /var/log/fortigate

In desperation I even added this to my /etc/syslog.conf, trying to get 
the messages to appear anywhere, but they aren't showing up in all.log 
either.

*.*   /var/log/all.log

I've restarted syslogd after every change I've made, but no dice. Can 
anyone shed some light on why these messages aren't logging and what I 
need to do to fix it?



Thanks so much!

Thanks, that helped a lot. for the record, I had to set the
syslogd_flags as Jon described, as well as adding "+@" and
"+fortigate" lines to syslog.conf above the local and remote sections
respectively. Leaving those lines out resulted in the logs getting
appended to /var/log/messages in addition to the logfile I wanted them
to go to.

My actual question is reguarding the ssh queue. It is the parent for
ssh_fast and ssh_bulk, so I'm thinking that it should show the total
bandwidth usage for those two queues, but it shows 0 Kb/s. Like I said
everything appears to be working fine, but I just want to make sure
that it is.

the queueing section from my pf.conf is as follows

altq on $ext_if bandwidth 256Kb cbq queue { std, ssh, http, tcp_ack, dns, p2p }
queue tcp_ack bandwidth 44Kb priority 7 cbq(borrow)

rebooted since install, I'm not sure how you could determine that.

can't boot kern.flp on thinkpad 750

2006-05-02 Thread Andy Greenwood

I'm trying to install 4.11 on an old IBM Thinkpad 750, but can't get
the kern.flp disk to boot. I know that the floppy drive on this
machine isn't exactly standard (it's a 2.88M drive, if that makes a
difference), but I'm not sure what the differences are. In any case,
when it tries to load the kernel from the floppy, I get this output..

Disk error 0x4 (lba=0x38)


FreeBSD/i386 BOOT

Default: 0:fd(0,a)/boot/loader
boot:

I've tried googling this, but can't seem to come up with anything. If
anyone has any pointers, I'd appreciate it.

Re: FTPd recommendation?

2006-05-04 Thread Andy Greenwood

I've used pure-ftpd for some time and really like it's virtual user
implementation. Doesn't hurt that (from thier site) "Unlike other
popular FTP servers, the number of root exploits found since the very
first released version is zero."

pure-ftpd

http://pureftpd.sourceforge.net/

I've got it set up with my own SSL cert and dissallow plain text FTP.  You
can also configure it to use completely virtual users...

Works for me.

Re: ftp server with no shell accounts

2006-05-10 Thread Andy Greenwood

I much prefer the pure-ftpd implementation of virtual users. However,
both will get the job done effectively. The only reason I really
prefer pure over pro is that pure has never had one root exploit found
since release number 1. That's reason enough for me :)

I think I would move the
fclose( tf_stat)
up a line.  No need to close a file that failed to open.  The fclose( )
acting on
a NULL pointer might be your error.

named always binds to "*"

Yes, add the following under options:

   listen-on port 53 { 192.168.1.1; };

Thanks. But I known this thing. The problem is with this method the log is
first write on the hard-disk. And I don't want do that (well I don't

I prefer the pflogd directly log to a central server. It's possible ?

Now you must run 'make'.

If you compile perl5 on a different machine or from a different object
directory, copy the Policy.sh file from this object directory to the
new one before you run Configure -- this will help you with most of
the policy defaults.

well, it looks like my sh has some dependancies too, so I wouldn't
worry about it really.

Hmm, not sure if we are talking about in single user mode with only
/  mounted, here is what my version does with a dependency check...

I see it need libs in /lib, which I'm sure is not on it's own
partition, but I was hoping to get vi statically compiled.

Now you must run 'make'.

If you compile perl5 on a different machine or from a different object
directory, copy the Policy.sh file from this object directory to the
new one before you run Configure -- this will help you with most of
the policy defaults.

John,

try man du. It will give you file sizes of all the files in a directory
tree, which you can then pass to sort and head to pull out the biggest
offenders, like this

# cd /
# du | sort -rn | head -10

for monitoring my system, I use tripwire, but that might be a bit much
just for watching disk usage. Try putting a "df -h" in your periodic
scripts to have the output of that command mailed to you each day.

I'm not exactly sure how I did it, but I remember having to change
something from the defaults when I built the net-mgmt/nagios-plugins
port because the check_ping command wasn't working right. I'd suggest
going back and re-making that port to see if you get any error messages.

I want to say that it wasn't finding the ping binary, but I don't think
that's what it was.

Re: Simple DNS For Private LAN

2006-06-23 Thread Andy Greenwood

If you're getting a static IP, then you can become master for your
domain, but you'll still need a secondary NS, and most (if not all)
registrars will require that the secondary NS be on a different IP. I
prefer to have mine on a completely seperate Class A, but that's just
personal. I'd leave ns3.zoneedit.com as the secondary NS. Both name
servers will be master for the domain. Master just means that the name
server won't try to look elsewherefor the info, IIRC, and you don't
want these name servers to look elsewhere. Yes you can break a lot of
stuff with wrong DNS, but it really isn't that complicated. Don't
worry.

As a side note, if you really are a DNS newb, here's some (hopefully
funny) reading. I can take no credit for this, and I don't have the
original link.

I'm having a hard time understanding what I need to do.  I have a small

for machines on my home network and then the DSL modem/router queries my
ISPs name servers for everything else.

When I registered my domain, I used ZoneEdit as my name servers.  'whois
mykitchentable.net' gives this output:

domain: mykitchentable.net
owner-name: Drew Tomlinson
nserver:ns3.zoneedit.com 209.61.140.1
nserver:ns4.zoneedit.com 216.98.150.236

Now I'm changing ISPs and the DSL modem/router will be removed.  I am
going to use a FBSD 6.x box to be my router, firewall, and DNS server.
I read the handbook regarding DNS but remain confused.  Should I be a
master for mykitchentable.net?  I'm thinking not because ZoneEdit is the
master, correct?  So should I be a slave?  And if I'm a slave, will my
DNS get it's updates from ZoneEdit?  Or should I become master for my
zone and make ZoneEdit a backup DNS?

I'm a complete newbie to DNS but know that it's important to get it
right or lots of stuff gets broken.  Can someone please guide me in the
right direction?  I don't mind reading if you send me a link.  :)

Thanks,

Drew

Re: Wire pickups.

2006-06-30 Thread Andy Greenwood

the only thing I've ever seen in a wireless router that caused it to
not work with other operating systems was a flaw in it's dhcp server.
It seems that windows doesn't conform to the DHCP standard and some of
the packets transmitted were flawed. the DHCP server on the router had
been configured to expect these flawed packets and when a standards
conformant dhcpclient tried to get connection info, the router didn't
work right. Of course, I no longer have the router (I belive it was a
linksys) and this was many years ago, so any of that might be wrong.
Just try it out and see if it works. It probably will.

If I understand you correctly that router is an independent device?

In that case "windows only" means that they have only tested it with
windows and will only ask support requests for users using that use
other operating systems. It does not mean that it won't work.

Rather than looking at OS' required look at protocols supported. It is
most likely standard protocols and there will be no problem at all.

So, just move ahead and see if you actually have a problem. If so, you
need to be more specific about the details of your wireless router etc.

Cheers, Erik

Re: Apache

2006-07-12 Thread Andy Greenwood

after you appropriately edit your conf file, you can start the server with

# apachectl start

You can test by going to http://127.0.0.1. should display an apache
page basically saying that the server is running. Once you get it how
you want it, you can start it at boot by adding this to your rc.conf

apache_enable="YES"

Re: Adding a (non default) route via rc.conf

2006-07-18 Thread Andy Greenwood

in rc.conf, put something like this:

static_routes="legacy"
route_legacy="-net 192.168.2 192.168.1.150"

the static_routes line is a list of network names that you want to put
routes in for, then each name gets its own route_name line. As for
your sanity check, I don't see why it would be a problem.

On 7/18/06, stan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

What's th sytax for addid a static (non default) route via rc.conf?

And while I'm here, how about a sanity check to make certain this is really
what I want to do.

Historicaly, the machine in question has lived on a network with only one
gateway off that net. Now, as part of a transition, I'm changing the
default route to point to a new address, but the old (ex default troute
machine) still is the only way to certain legacy networks.


Is this the best way to handle this?

You must be kidding.  I have a server that runs a message board built on

When's the last time a web-based perl application had all the problems that
