RE: Default Sendmail install with FreeBSD

[KizerSoze]

I'm already on 4.7 stable and the system isn't that critical, but, i'd love
to avoid any nuiances.  I've already made a backup.  I completed the
mergemaster part and everything seems okay so far.

thanks for the advice.

If this machine is critical to you, you might want to consider
determining which system/kernel source it's built off of and cvsup'ing
that source, buildworld, etc and make a backup, knowing that you can
restore to your original system. Then make the jump to 4.7-STABLE.

Then again, perhaps I'm misunderstanding the purpose here.

I've seen it too, with a 4.5 system with a maxtor drive. Unfortunately,
I've never been able to track it down to anything certain: I was (and
still am) leaning towards poor hardware over an OS fault. The only thing
leading me to believe it's NOT a hardware issue is that the kernel seems
to be running, although nothing responds: network activity lights flash on
the NIC and switch, but NOTHING else works (have to powercycle).

I remember someone else pointing out the same problem about a year ago,
and nobody ever offered any explanation of the problem or even hinted at a
solution.

The last thread is here (watch the line wrap):

Disk activity leading to hangs

[Jason Godfrey]

Hello.

I am experiencing a hang on two machines that I think may be related. I am
hoping someone on the list may know a solution.

Basically under heavy disk load (buildworld, large package install, nightly
script run) the system will hang hard. The two systems have very little in 
common, one is a P2 400 running FreeBSD-Stable from Oct 2, the other (a new
machine) is a AMD 1600+ running FreeBSD 4.5-Release. The faster machine seems
to hit the hange much more regularly. 

The only thing in common between the two machines I can think of is that they
both have Maxtor IDE drives on a Ultra-ATA channel. (On the P2 400 I've been
running in PIO mode, as that _seems_ to reduce the frequency of the hangs.
On the AMD it seems to make no difference.) 

Does anyone have an idea? It's been an annoyance on my P2, but it is making
the AMD (a freinds computer I am helping setup) almost unusable.) 

Thanks
- Jason

Steps, in order, with some variation because other things
work and/or leftovers from older routines

cvsup
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel kernconf=/path/to/your/kernconf/file
make installkernel
(optional boot into single user mode)
make installworld

mergemaster is, in effect, the final step of a source installation. I
wouldn't expect adverse effects, but I've never upgraded from 3.x. See
if UPDATING has anything to say about it. Follow its directions closely.

Since I've obviously overlooked the mergemaster step if I run it now will
there be an adverse effects on my sys?  I've gone through the man page and

Well, I'm on a friends BSD 4.6 system looking at his /etc/mail directory and
the right files are there, and, his Makefile in that directory is definately
newer than the one I have?

What gives?  Somewhere along the line have I made a mistake updating my
system along the 4.x tree?

Will other parts of my system not be up to date as well?

What should I do now?

I thought I was completely updated the other day but apparently not.


Frustrated but thankfull for everyone's help,

/usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc.  To get the genericstable to work I need
to add some lines to the .mc file, but the only one is in the source tree.
What should I do here?

Thanks,

Ed

One of the things everyone should do, or at least consider, is

After editing the file, 'make' must be run to update sendmail's

Default Sendmail install with FreeBSD

[KizerSoze]

I've been addressing an issue where I'm trying to have all my mail from my
root account forwarded to  my home email address.  The BSD box does not have
a FQDN and when trying to send any mail to my home accounts the mail relay
owned by those accounts will not accept them, assumingly because the from
address does not have a real domain name, thus the relay drops the mail as
spam.

I know that sendmail can be configured to change the from addresses of
emails before they are sent and I'd like to accomplish this, and, have found
some sufficient documentation here.
http://www.sendmail.org/faq/section3.html#3.2

But, after reading through the documentation I am unable to locate any
sendmail.mc file on my system.  My system was not a bare 4.7 install, but
has been updated through the 4.x tree.  I'm by no means an expert with
Sendmail and have not been able to find any answers to the following
questions.

1)  Where am I suppose to find the sendmail.mc file?

2)  Does FreeBSD come with a partial install of sendmail, and if so is this
why I'm not seeing the sendmail.mc file, and if thats the case do I need to
re-install sendmail through the port tree?

3)  Has anyone else here accomplished what I'm trying to do here, and if so,
what were your steps to success?

Since it seems we are getting worried about a few dollars a year (and
why not), how about _free_ domains in alternative roots? See for
example:

how can i use two child for sending and receiving data with minimum delay?

[alireza mahini]

Hello
I am Alireza .I develop a program for  sending  and
 receiving data via two child as below:
 main(){//parent
  if(!fork()){
   sendto(sd1,...);
   recvfrom(rd1,...);
   exit(0);
  }
  if(!fork()){
   sendto(sd2,...);
   recvfrom(rd2,...);
   exit(0);
  }
 while(waitpid(-1,NULL,WUNTRACED));//wait for childs
 
 } 
  In above solution time of waiting for childs is
about milisecond but when i wrote program without any
child (as below),program execution time is about
 microsecond.
 main(){
   sendto(sd1,...);
   recvfrom(rd1,...);
   exit(0);
   sendto(sd2,...);
   recvfrom(rd2,...);
  }

Root Mail Problems

[Kizer]

FreeBSD Users,

I've been using FreeBSD for quite some time now and have never had any real
difficulty with it until now.  My BSD box (4.7) runs as a gateway/firewall
for my adsl and i've been doing a little fine tuning lately, and one of
those is to get my BSD box to forward all mail that is sent to the root
account to my real email address.  I figured this wouldn't be to difficult.

I've tried two things so far which both don't work.

1)  Create a .forward file in my root folder with my email address in it,
this supposedly will forward all mail to the address.  This didn't work.

2)  Edited the aliases file in /etc and added my email address (and rebuilt)
for the root account.  This didn't work either.

After inspecting the maillog here is what I'm seeing.

I'm not good at reading these but is the prodigy address telling me that it
doesn't like the fact the the from address isn't from a FQDN?  That's the
impression that I get.

Funny thing is this...I can run the same command to send an email to my
hotmail account and it WILL work, or a friends email and it WILL work, so
what gives?

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Ed

You are confusing the various services.  A domain name is just that - a 
name.  "boiledpetunias.com" is a domain name (god, I hope it's not!).  
Providing name servers to provide responses for that domain name,  web 
servers that answer to that name, mail servers to collect mail destined 
for that name, etc. are all different issues.  Try secondary.com for 
backup name services - beyond that, Google for something like "how to 
host a web site" and do a little reading to come up to speed.

FreeBSD handles such a setup just fine (using PPP or SLIP for running
TCP/IP over the serial cable) so it all depends on if Win2K supports it.
I suppose it does, but since I have never used Win2K I can't say for sure.

Networking through Serial

[Steven Lake]

HI all.  I got a rather interesting question about networking.
I've got two machines that I'm running.  One is win2k, the other is
FBD4.5, only one of which (the win2k machine) is on the network.  The old
Freebsd machine won't take a nic, so I was wondering if I could cheat and
connect it to the win2k machine using a serial port?  Would there be a way
to connect my freebsd box to the internet by connecting it to the win2k
box via a serial cable?

fxp module from -stable for 4.6

[Stephen Hoover]

I am trying to compile the fxp module (driver) from FreeBSD -stable in my
copy of 4.6. I am getting the following:

linking kernel

if_fxp.o: in function 'fxp_add_rfabuf':
if_fxp.o(.text+0x2e5f): undefined reference tp 'm_getcl'
*** Error code 1

This is while trying to build a new kernel with the src's off of the 4.6 CD
with the if_fxp.c from -stable. I need to get the network interface
operating to CVSup the rest of the system. Am I missing something, or is
this source too new for the rest of the original 4.6 release? This is NOT
4.6.2, it is 4.6 from a cd set I purchased from FreeBSD Mall.

The network card is the 82562 on board an Asus P4B533-V motherboard. I need
to get this version of FreeBSD to replicate another setup for testing.

Any help appreciated.

That's nslookup for you.  You don't seem to have a reverse domain for
2.168.192.in-addr.arpa set up anywhere, so nslookup throws a wobbly
about being asked to look stuff up at an address in that range.
There's a reason it's been deprecated in BIND 9.  Two much better
tools are 'host' and 'dig'.  Try:

host ftp.freebsd.org

dig ftp.freebsd.org

You're missing a ';' amongst other things --- named.conf likes to have
a liberal sprinkling of semi-colons.

acl "home" {
192.168.2.0/24;
};

Note that it's 'network address / length of netmask'. You don't have
to put quotes around the acl name, but it's good practice to avoid
potential conflict with key words.

The acl definitions are top level statements in the config file,
ie. outside the 'options' block.
 
> allow_query {
>address_match_list (home);
>};

There are four built in acl's that you can use.  'localhost' is a
list of all the configured interfaces on the server and 'localnets'
is a list of all the directly attached networks.  Then there's 'any'
and 'none' which are self explanatory.

Just write the name of the acl literally in the allow-query or
allow-recursion or whatever statement. eg:

allow-query {
localnets;
};

or 

allow-recursion {
"home";
};

If you used quotes in the definition of the acl, then you should use
them for any reference to the acl.

These can be put into the options { }; block, which makes them into
default values for the whole server, or they may be inserted into a
view { }; or zone { }; statement to have a more narrow effect.

Cheers,

Matthew

vertical scan frequency at console

[Anton]

Hello everybody!

Is somebody knows how can I configure frequency (vertical)
and others characteristics of my monitor at console?

When I set VESA_800x600 I get small 'window' with big black borders.
Also when I set any VGA, VESA and 80x30 modes I get 60Hz frequency.
It's not so good for my eyes.

I don't use XFree because I have very slow
computer. I need some like xvidtune but for consoles.

What you can advise?

caching nameserver (was Resolving hostnames takes "forever")

[paul beard]

Matthew Seaman wrote:


Not knowing anything about your site, that's not something I can give
a definite answer to.  However, running a DNS cache on a local LAN
segment is pretty simple to do, and usually improves performance.  If
you run the /etc/namedb/make-localhost script and then fire up the
default named with the config that comes with FreeBSD, it will act as
a caching nameserver.


This answers questions I didn't realize I had . . . .

Couple of niggling details: I found I had to run the 
make-localhost script from w/in /etc/named. It looks in "." for a 
needed file, rather than /etc/named. Pehaps set a value for 
${NAMED_DIR}?

Next I did these:
Add:

named_enable="YES"
named_flags="-u bind -g bind"

to /etc/rc.conf, and put the IP number of your server as the first
choice in /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 12.34.56.78

for the correct value of "12.34.56.78"


I've done this, but I can't get 192.168.2.1 to resolved addresses 
in nslookup unless I drop into interactive mode and specify it. 
Examples follow:

[/etc/namedb]# nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.2.1: Non-existent 
host/domain
Default Server:  ns1.attbi.com
Address:  204.127.198.4

[/etc/namedb]# nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.2.1: Non-existent 
host/domain
Default Server:  ns1.attbi.com
Address:  204.127.198.4

> server 192.168.2.1
Default Server:  [192.168.2.1]
Address:  192.168.2.1

> ftp.freebsd.org
Server:  [192.168.2.1]
Address:  192.168.2.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:ftp.beastie.tdk.net
Address:  62.243.72.50
Aliases:  ftp.freebsd.org

Note however that this configuration will allow anyone on the net who
can get packets to port 53 of your server to use your named to do
recursive lookups --- consult the named.conf(5) man page and the
documentation at http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/docs/index.html to
find out how to configure it better.


This looks like something you can do with an acl to permit only 
your local network(s). I'm not sure how I invoke it after I set it.

As near as I can make out, this is what I need to permit only 
queries from my local network.

// acl list
   acl home {
  192.168.2/255.255.255.0
   };

allow_query {
   address_match_list (home);
   };

Home dirs and apache; access lists

[dslb]

Hi all

I run a web and ftp server. I want all my users chroot'ed, but I also want
them to access the down- og uploade dir. So in /home I have:
/home/Public
/home/user1
/home/user2
...and so on...and no anonymous ftp is not allowed.
To make the chroot thing work, I had to make all home paths "/home", so
they can access /home/Public, but now comes the problem.Apache will look
for index.htm(l) in home+public_html, but since the home path is /home and
not /home/users, I can't get it to work. Any Ideas?

Bwt, does Access-lists build a virtual filesystem or does it make use of
the existing one by makeing a lot of groups?

Re: release build

[Alex(ander Sendzimir)]

When you say, "release build", I'm assuming you mean a kernel and base
system. If this is the case, then, yes. It's pretty easy.

[1] place your custom configuration in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
(or link to it there)
[2] read the top part of /usr/src/Makefile
[3] you might want to create|configure /etc/make.conf by
setting KERNCONF. For an additional 30M or so you can
compile for both machines.
[4] Assuming you have the two machines networking, setup nfs
so that you can install from the PIII.

This answer goes beyond what you asked with the nfs stuff. But there you
have it anyway. No cross compiling. This is a basic overview. Questions?

More Questions on SCSI Emulation

But how do I get it working exactly.  I went though the realing notes and 
didn't see specifics. Though I could just be stupid.  And if I still can't 
get the SCSI emulation working there can someone point me to a cheat sheet 
or script that will use burncd.  Or a way of configuring one of the X apps 
to use burncd instead of cdrecord. The problem with doing it all by hand is 
first the tediousness and second having to make sure I don't pass the 700MB 
limit. Just a little irritating. Thanks for any help.

How do you cause FreeBSD to automatically suspend?

Hi:

I have a Dell Inspiron 5000E running 4.7R with APM enabled in the kernel.  I
have apm and apmd enabled in rc.conf.  I can successfully suspend using zzz,
and the system unsuspends successfully (even in X, which is great!)

I want to configure the system to suspend automatically.  I recall that I was
able to do that in 4.5, but I can see how I did it and I haven't yet figure out
the proper googleism to find out.  Doesn't seem to be described in the

Believe me, Bind is much easier to get running than djbdns. You don't
have to install it at all (it comes with the main system), and it is
not some cluster of interdepending programs. How to start Bind at
boot, and what to config someone else already described today here.
Djbdns may be safer, better, whatever than Bind, it is _not_ easier to
install and get running.

Errr... at the risk of setting off a massive wave of complaints to ISP

of reasons for DNS to flake out.  Even such things as faulty cabling
at your site: UDP services like DNS mostly is can be hit
disproportionally harder by intermittent packet loss than TCP services
like HTTP.

Not knowing anything about your site, that's not something I can give
a definite answer to.  However, running a DNS cache on a local LAN
segment is pretty simple to do, and usually improves performance.  If
you run the /etc/namedb/make-localhost script and then fire up the
default named with the config that comes with FreeBSD, it will act as
a caching nameserver.

Add:

named_enable="YES"
named_flags="-u bind -g bind"

to /etc/rc.conf, and put the IP number of your server as the first
choice in /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 12.34.56.78

for the correct value of "12.34.56.78"

Note however that this configuration will allow anyone on the net who
can get packets to port 53 of your server to use your named to do
recursive lookups --- consult the named.conf(5) man page and the
documentation at http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/docs/index.html to
find out how to configure it better.

Cheers,

Matthew

It depends. I'm running local dns-caches on most servers and of course
on my gateway-machine. It's very easy to do this with djbdns. Just
install the daemontools, then djbdns and configure your machine as a
local cache (if it's standalone) or an external cache (if you serve a
network). Instructions are on the webpage http://cr.yp.to

Beleave me, it's as simple as installing something from ports and kills
all your dns-Problems. You don't need to bother with bind and
named.conf, etc.

Re: Resolving hostnames takes "forever"

[Alex(ander Sendzimir)]

I would like to add one more observation to my previous post:

When I use links either in a terminal or otherwise, resolving usually
occurs much faster than mozilla.

Re: Resolving hostnames takes "forever"

[Alex(ander Sendzimir)]

Wow. This has been extremely useful to me, too. I have virtually the
same setup and problem.

If I'm understanding what you [Dr Seaman] are saying, if I analyze the
dns packet data, I might be able to determine if my ISP's DNS software
is broken? I would like to try this because I have a suspicion this is
very likely.

Finally, would it be worth while to run my own DNS server? Will setting
it up be more trouble than it's worth?

Thanks, Doc.

Maximal (sensible) size of a partition

[Moritz]

I want to add a new 20 GB hard drive to my router/printer 
server/fileserver. Does it make sense to make a big 20 GB partition and if 
not, why?
Oh, and do you think it makes sense at all to integrate a 20 GB hard drive 
into a P133 which shall share these 20 GB to three other machines and is 
performing routing at the same time, or is this machine too slow for this 
task?
Thank you in advance!

The first thing you need to do to track down the problem is to trace
the DNS queries your system makes while you attempt to browse the net.

Supposing that your ethernet interface is fxp0, then you need to run
commands like the following:

# tcpdump -i fxp0 port 53 -w /tmp/dns-packets 
[ do some browsing in another window, then hit Ctrl-C ]

This will record all the DNS traffic in the file in /tmp.  You can

# tcpdump -r /tmp/dns-packets

tcpdump tends to generate and pick up it's own DNS traffic, which
tends to lead to a massive feedback loop.

You will see something like this:

You'll see that your web browsers make quite a few attempts to lookup
IPv6  addresses.  This is according to the current standards, but
in most sites won't achieve very much.  Unfortunately, some sites are
still running broken DNS software that doesn't respond correctly to
 requests, resulting in your DNS client hanging for 30s or so
before it tries an IPv4 A request.  It's particularly bad if the
caching nameservers at your ISP are broken in this way.

Use the timestamps in the first column to pinpoint exactly where the
delay is occurring.  Then try to replicate the problem by performing
the same lookup using dig:

# dig www.bbc.co.uk IN 

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> www.bbc.co.uk IN  
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

Re: vga modes

[Lefteris Tsintjelis]

Its a litle more complex than just vga=ext and it is not under the boot
manager kernel options like lilo. U may need to modify rc.conf ttys and
kernel configuration. I include some of my settings but some of them are
for Greek console support though :) Check out the rc.console script. It
will give you a good start.

rc.conf example:

cursor="destructive"
allscreens_flags="132x43"
saver="blank"
font8x8="iso07-8x8"
font8x14="iso07-8x14"
font8x16="iso07-8x16"
scrnmap="iso-8859-7_to_cp437"
keyrate="fast"
keymap="el.iso07"

tty example:

ttyv1   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons43  on  secure

U probably also need to include vga VESA support in your kernel.

options VESA

Lefteris

Hi,

And how would u deal with new versions of the already installed ports
in order to maintain good binary compatibility backwards and forwards?

Thank you.

vga modes

[Rotaru Razvan]

Hello,

Do you know that line in /etc/lilo.conf (vga=???) that sets a different
screen resolution (vga mode) in linux? Well I am trying to to do
something similar in bsd. Maybe you could tell me where to start (i
don't even know where to fine the bsd boot manager). 

Regards,
Razvan

Resolving hostnames takes "forever"

[Bjarne Wichmann Petersen]

Hi!

I've got an annoying problem when surfing. The browsers (both konq. and 
phoenix/mozilla) needs a very long time (30-60 sec.) to resolve hostnames and 
I'm out of clues to why. My setup is something like:

Cable-modem -> Router (speedstream 2601) -> switch -> FBSD-box

I've enabled "Hostmapping" in the router to point to my FBSD-box. My firewall 
denies no packages. /etc/resolv.conf shows the the correct IP's for the 
nameservers.

Where do I need to dig further?

Bjarne

Re: afbackup anybody know what these errors mean? (fwd)

[Hartmann, O.]

Hello.

Yes, I saw and still see this obscure message since August 2002!
I did several postings here and got into contact with A. Fluegel,
one of the vendors of afbackup.

Afbackup worked 'stable' until we changed from FreeBSD 4.6.2 to 4.6.2-pl2
and this error occurs on our HP SureStore 40x6i DAT changer. The server
which is doing the update needs to backup about 250GB diskspace and
therefore we bought this poor-man's tape changer. Prior to this change
to FreeBSD 4.6.2-pl2 and FreeBSD 4.7-R and followers every version of afbackup
until version 3.3.7 worked like a charm. The several weird errors occured,
first time error was an error when really big files were written and read again
from backup, but Alber Fluegel told me that this has been worked around. The
more critical problem is that what you mentioned here: at the end of a tape
we get this error and afbackup dies. This only happens on our changer.
We run also two other HP backup devices, one DAT 40 single drive and an older
DAT 8 drive and in addtion a sony DAT 7000 drive. The older DAT drives (single)
have no problems in FreeBSD 4.7-R and afbackup 3.3.7pl3, but the important
changer device seems to make trouble in afbackup.

I tried to do several poor investigations on this to exclude the drive's fault.
Using pax or tar in multivolume mode shows no error when tape end has been reached,
but after the change of the cartridge magazine (6 tapes) pax get confused and
whenever a new tape is inserted, it reports a full volume. I never saw this before
in 4.6 but I can not assure this is a new 'bug' in 4.7.

The only thing I know is that with the 2nd August 2002 something has been changed
in scsi_sa.c and this caused a thread I read in GOOGLE concerning some changes in
EOT handling (look for posting of Matthew Jacob). Since August we have this massive
trouble although our error looks like a little bit different from yours (error number
is 87 or 85 and command is not '>', it is 'W', but the error message behind the cause
is the same).

Do you have a changer, too, or occurs this error on a single tape drive?

Well, as I understood the above mentioned thread about EOT handling, in afbackup we
got several changes targeting this but as I understood Mr. Jacob the right way, he
changed back EOT bahaviour.

I hope these problems get fixed soon. afbackup was the only non commercial backup
software for FreeBSD which is able to backup large disk arrays (AMANDA is a crap,
using tar and is not able to split large files/arrays over several consecutive
tapes).

If you get some more informations about this, I would appreciate any comments or
tips.

Our backup system is a FreeBSD 4.7-R-p1 SMP box, HP SureSTore 40x6i tape drive/changer
unit attached to an onboard LSI Logic 53C896 LVD SCSI host controler on a TYAN Thunder
2500 mainboard. The tape drive unit populate one of two channels as the only device,
so bad interaction with other devices should be excluded.

mount_smbfs broken?

[Gabriel Ambuehl]

Hello,
I'm trying to use mount_smbfs -N to get it to read the password from
/root/.nsmbrc:

# A simple configuration example:

# First, define a workgroup.
[default]
workgroup=datasvr

# The 'FSERVER' is an NT server.
[datasvr]
addr=IP

[datasvr:mailbackup:mail_backup]
# use persistent password cache for user 'mailbackup'
password=$$xxx
workgroup=datasvr


Whereas datasvr is the netbios name of the W2K server, mailbackup the
username and mail_backup the share in question (just don't ask why I need
to backup my "secure" mail server on a 2K box) and the password was
made with smbutil crypt. Upon invocation of
#mount_smbfs -N  -I IP //mailbackup@datasvr/mail_backup /mnt
I end up with
mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Authentication error

If I use mount_smbfs -I IP //mailbackup@datasvr/mail_backup /mnt
I get prompted for a password and it will work perfectly. However,
that's not an option to me as I need to mount the share at boottime.

A grep through mount_smbfs.c didn't even find a N option although
there might be some case insentivity trickery going on I didn't take
into account.

So my question boils down to: how can I get mount_smbfs to read the PW
from the file? And why doesn't mount_smbfs fail if it is invoked with
the -N argument but is unable to read the .nsmbrc file?

D-Link DGE-550T NIC

[Varshavchick Alexander]

Hi people,

did anybody use it with FreeBSD 4.5? The problem is that the system
doesn't see it, however 'nge' and 'miibus' support are included into the
kernel. Is it correct that it must be 'nge', because as described in
the man page, only DGE-500T card is supported by nge, however both
DGE-550T and DGE-500T use the same DP83820 chip. Or am I missing something
here?

Thanks

user-ppp: how to assign certain device ?

[Илья Шипицин]

Dear Sirs,

I'm running dial-in server (user-ppp + 2 modems),
I want ppp to take either tun2 or tun3, is it possible ?

I mean, when I call "ppp -unit2" it takes _exactly_ tun2, which could be
already taken.

You didn't do a buildkernel after a buildworld. The new make files, 
which your build tried to use, aren't installed until you do an 
installworld.
