Subject: Help! Errors in /var/log/messages after upgrade




After I upgraded to FreeBSD 4.7 STABLE yesterday I receive some errors
in the /var/log/messages file. These errors occour only when people
try to send mail via webforms on websites hosted on the server. Here
is an example:

Jan 21 13:40:12 server sendmail[44046]: h0LCeCp6044046: SYSERR(www):
collect: Cannot write ./dfh0LCeCp6044046 (bfcommit, uid=80, gid=25):
Permission denied Jan 21 13:40:12 server sendmail[44046]:
h0LCeCp6044046: SYSERR(www): queueup: cannot create queue temp file
./tfh0LCeCp6044046, uid=80: Permission denied

Can someone please tell me what to do to get rid of this and make web
forms work again? Thanks a million!!

Andreas




Hi Andreas,

I had the same problem myself, when I installed FreeBSD 4.7R on a new
server.

I was finally able to "solve" it by queueing mail from the webdaemon (from
CGI scripts and such) into its own queue (that is, running messages off
forms with "-odq -oQ/var/spool/webqueue" (and setting such as default in
php.ini), and setting access rights for "/var/spool/webqueue" owned by the
"nobody" user (Apache runs as nobody) as follows:

drwxr-xr-x2 nobody  daemon512 Jan 21 13:41 webqueue

(would likely be user "www" in your case) I say "solve" because this does
indeed make the permission errors go away, and things worked again; though I
feel a more elegant solution may exist, I have not found it yet.



Is Apache trying to put a temporary file into /var/spool/mqueue without 
having the correct permissions to do so?

I've noticed a new directory under /var/spool which is named 
/clientmqueue. What is this for?

Also, which Sendmail version was included in FreeBSD 4.5 and which is 
included in 4.7?

increase LDAP speed

[Hilmi Hilmiev]

Hi all,

have somebody who know how can be increased LDAP query speed, some conf 
option or other way? I have, my self developed web based software for 
RADIUS server + LDAP authentication + mySQL accounting. Work fine, just 
I have speed problem. I support about 300 user in my LDAP db. Still the 
problem as general is query speed when I try querying LDAP from PHP. I 
use OOP in PHP with JS and mySQL. My server is Compaq Proliant 
866MHz/256MB is this enough? Or how I can increase speed, more RAM, 
second processor?

10x in advance

It does.  Some things have changed, others have been added, and yet
others have been removed.  This is the file that holds the default
values that /etc/defaults/make.conf used to have though.

It means "this make variable *has* a value".  Some things depend on
the existence of certain make variables.  Others depend on the
variables having particular values.  This is one of the things that
fall in the first category.  Any value would be as good as "yes",
"yeah", "Yes, please.", etc.

virtual tape or streamer device for backup purposes possible

[Christian Tanghe]

Hello,

is it possible to configure a virtual tape, just working on an other
harddisk? Lokaly or on any other Server in the network
Writing an reading on it should be transparent for commands like tar, cpio
or any backup software.

Or in other words: Can you only load a driver for an non existent streamer
and use it to write on disk?
Or do I need a special software solution?

If you will excuse me ;), anybody knows if it exists a comparable solution
under Linux?

greetings
Christian

You should add (or mofidy appropriately) the following to your

dhclient; DNS not updating properly

[Jørgen]

Im have a network of 4 PCs:
One running RedHat 7.2, one running WinXP, one running Debian and the last
(a laptop) running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE.
The RedHat-box acts as a NAT gateway to the internet, and runs a DHCPD to
give out IPs, DNS-servers and such, and here comes the problem. The two
other machines gets all the info properly, but the FreeBSD box does NOT get
DNS-server (it seems), atleast it doesnt update /etc/resolv.conf properly.
ep0 is a PCMCIA 3Com MegaHertz 574B NIC.

/var/log/messages only tells me this:
dhclient: New Network Number: 10.10.0.96
dhclient: New Broadcast Address: 10.10.0.111
dhclient: New Hostname:
dhclient: New IP Address (ep0): 10.10.0.100
dhclient: New Subnet Mask (ep0): 255.255.255.240
dhclient: New Broadcast Address (ep0): 10.10.0.111
dhclient: New Routers: 10.10.0.97

I've tried adding the following to /etc/dhclient.conf (even though manpages
specify that it shouldnt be neccesary):
interface "ep0" {
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
}

Other than all DNS not working, the networking is fine. I've tried touch'ing
/etc/resolv.conf, I've tried adding dummy entries.
Any ideas?

Kindest Regards,
-Daxxar

I'm not sure what your problem is.

I just recently installed 4.7-RELEASE on a HPT370A-based HighPoint
card (RAID1), and the only problems I had was that for some reason
disklabel put the / partition beyond the bootable area at the
beggining of the disk, and I didn't notice it, and disk numbering.

ATA_STATIC_ID seems to be used in 4.7's GENERIC... I'm out of ideas.

Or maybe, are you really sure you have the proper devices in /dev?

I might be way off here, but looks like you screwed up Sendmail
during the update. Reread /usr/src/UPDATING, check your system for
any differences carefully, and you should be fine.

At a source or a binary level? A NetBSD 1.6 box can run NetBSD
1.0 binaries, complete with their shared libraries. A NetBSD
1.0 binary should even run against a NetBSD 1.6 libc (modulus
a.out or ECOFF changes to ELF).

make.conf in FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE

[Wayne Pascoe]

Hi all,

I'm prodding at FreeBSD 5.0 and making sure I can still do everything
I did in 4.x. I'm now trying to prep for a make world and I've run
into a problem.

/etc/defaults/make.conf doesn't seem to exist anymore. There is a
/usr/share/examples/make.conf but that doesn't contain any of the
lines that are present in /etc/make.conf

Do I still specify things like NO_BIND="YES" the same way I used to in
this file ?

Also, in /etc/make.conf, I currently have
PERL_VER=5.6.1
PERL_VERSION=5.6.1
PERL_ARCH=mach
NOPERL=yo
NO_PERL=yo
NO_PERL_WRAPPER=yo

what the hell does yo mean? Yes or no ? 

TIA,

still having syslog problems

[Bsd Neophyte]

i'm having huge problems with localizing the messages sent to my FreeBSD
box by my router and my firewall appliance.  all the messages seem to be
congregating in /var/log/messages, when i don't want them to.

i'm thinking that, the following might be an issue. 


*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console 
*.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages 


the "*.notice" second line, i'm assuming means that all notices,
regardless of source, are to be sent to /var/log/messages. 

unfortunately, i don't know the severity rating of the messages that the
firewall is sending. 

maybe you can help me out. a typical message looks like this: 

Jan 20 20:19:08 <16.5> (806 hostname) id=firewall sn=(serial number of
webramp) time="2003-01-20 20:19:07" fw=(some ip address) pri=5 c=256 m=38
msg="ICMP packet dropped" n=2956 src==(some ip address) dst==(some ip
address) rule=0^M 

again, an assumption, but i think that pri=5 means priority 5, which seems
to be a notification level event with the cisco router. 

if this is the case, how could i redirect only FreeBSD notifications to go
to messages? 

this is what i have right now:

--
# external hosts (router and firewall) 
!router 
local7.* /var/log/router-logs 
#local7.alert /var/log/router-logs 
#local7.crit /var/log/router-logs 
#local7.debug /var/log/router-logs 
#local7.emerg /var/log/router-logs 
#local7.err /var/log/router-logs 
#local7.info /var/log/router-logs 
#local7.notice /var/log/router-logs 
#local7.warn /var/log/router-logs 
--

i made the files ahead of time by doing a "touch router-logs".  also is
noting this as " !router " allowable? 

i didn't get a clear indication of how to do it in the documentation? is
it local0.notice or something?

Well, you've done everything pretty much right so far --- however,
although you seem to have added all of the possible variants of SMBus
controller chips, your kernel isn't picking up the hardware on your
motherboard.  That might simply be because the exact chipset you have
isn't recognised, although from what you've said above, I'd expect the
amdpm driver to probe successfully.

What is the output of:

pciconf -lv

please?

Cheers,

Matthew

PS. The 'device pcf0' entry in your kernel config is incorrect. It
should be:

device pcf0 at isa? port? irq 5

however, that won't make a difference unless you actually have a
Philips PCF8584 I2C controller on your system.

The files are listed correctly, i.e. the whole directory structure.  One thing I 
thought of is the first question I'm asked after loading 5.0 from the floppies is if I 
want to load kernal modules from the driver disk.  Do you think that has anything to 
do with it.  Its 3:30 am here, so I'll wait till later this morning to try that, but 
wanted to get some feedback first.

Daily output to root

[Andreas Widerøe Andersen]

Hi,
On one of my FreeBSD boxes the daily (nightly) output (security, check 
Etc.) stopped after a system upgrade a while back. I'd like to get the 
output mails back. Today I receive one mail from this server with the 
following content:

"No output from the 24 files processed"

How can I restore the daily mails from "my man" Charlie Root?

Thanks,
Andreas

I am attempting to use Pine with fetchmail and sendmail over a cable modem
to my ISP.

There is some basic setting that I am unaware of. I now can send mail and
newsgroup messages out over the internet, but the return address is
incorrect. It uses my pc account login ID, gschenk, as the left side of my
address instead of my ISP account name of gwschenk. Where is this
configured? It doesn't seem to be setup in .pinerc or .fetchmailrc. Is it in
sendmail somewhere?

The fetchmail man page says that sendmail needs to be listening on port 25.
When I run  the output is:

root 102 0.0 1.8 2760 2196 ?? Ss 2:45PM 0:00.14 sendmail: accepting
connections (sendmail)

smmsp 105 0.0 1.7 2660 2180 ?? Is 2:45PM 0:00.01 sendmail: Queue
runner@00:30:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue (sendmai

Shouldn't it indicate port 25 somewhere? How do I know I have a port 25? How
do I know it is listening at port 25?

Could I have the wrong path set up in Pine for the INBOX? I'm using
/var/mail/gschenk.

I've followed the instructions in Chapter 25 of FreeBSD Unleashed. Annelise
Anderson barely mentions email in her book. I'm beginning to understand why.
Is there another source that is better at clarifying this matter? Does The
Complete FreeBSD cover this subject better? Do I need professional
assistance to set up email? I'd better end this message here as I feel a
major whine coming on! :)
