Re: restricting user's directory listing and changing
Greetings. Basically, I have this group of users, that I give SSH/SFTP access, but I don't want them to be able to see the complete file hierarchy and ``cd'' to them. I just want a user to be able to access the user's home, and that's it. I looked up some docs on the shell(tcsh) and sshd, but didn't find anything apppropriate. Has anyone wanted to do this before? I was thinking, or maybe I could redirect that group of users to use a different version of the command ``cd'' and ``ls'' so that it will only work within their home directories. Thought of jail too, but jail only jails processes, and these guys aren't really running processes, just file access. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. __ Jay Sern Liew Dear Jay, There seems to be some sort of patch available @ http://chrootssh.sourceforge.net which may fitt your needs.

If it finds a problem it will generally log an explanation to /var/log/messages and then silently quit. You'll need to make sure that you have corrected any errors before it will start properly. A particularly problematic thing is the $TTL record that seems to be required in all zone files nowadays. Another gotcha that may catch you on FreeBSD is that Bind 9 doesn't understand the '-g' flag as used by default with the system supplied Bind 8.

Re: Ooops.
Quoting Bill Moran [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I've been quietly following this thread since it started and ... I can't reproduce this behaviour. I've created and deleted I don't know how many test directories and symlinks and I can't get it to do what you're claiming it did. As root, try copying directory from one disk to another, then rm -rf directory from the copy. That seems to be what the two recent examples have in common. The only difference between the two experiences is that I was able to remove (eg) the copied bin directory without affecting the original, but suffered when trying to remove the copied home directory. I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that the symlink attached to home was the cause. He's absolutely correct. Without the _exact_ command that you used, it's going to be very hard to figure out what went wrong. Are you using a shell that keeps a command history (i.e. bash)? If so, can you get us the exact command that you issued? Yes - use tcsh as root. Unfortunately the history only goes so far back and lots has happened since. Sorry. However, I'd be prepared to swear on a (small) stack of bibles that the command I issued was: rm -rf home This removed /slash/var/home from /dev/ad2 as I wished, but also removed the original /usr/home on /dev/ad0. I had RTFM because I knew rm was very powerful and that undeletion was impossible. -rf is all that is required to delete a directory and any subdirectories therein, is it not? -- Brian --- This message sent through Adam Internet Webmail http://www.adam.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

The easiest way to do what you want is to back-up all the files and stuff you want to keep from your existing FreeBSD and Windows installations, and then just re-install FreeBSD over the whole disk. That will give you one fdisk(8) slice (ad0s1) containing the FreeBSD disklabel(8) partitions (ad0s1a, ad0s1b etc.) If you haven't got the resources to back-up all your stuff, you can just convert your windows slice to a FreeBSD slice, create a FreeBSD partition taking up the whole slice and mount it at an appropriate place in your filesystem. You can use fdisk(8), disklabel(8) and mount(8) to do that, but you'll probably find it easier to use /stand/sysinstall -- just take care that you don't accidentally re-initialise your existing FreeBSD partitions. If your windows slice happens to lie immediately following your freebsd slice, then it is in theory possible to rewrite Sector 0 of your disk so that the two slices are merged, and then extend the last FreeBSD partition to fill up the added space. However, that's a very tricky operation with a high risk of trashing your system, so you shouldn't do it unless you've got good backups of everything. Of course, if you've got backups then your best option is just to reinstall, and then recover the backups over the newly installed system, taking care to preserve files like /etc/fstab.

pc-card modem setup, device, ppp.conf
I just installed FreeBSD 4.7 on my HP OmniBook 4150 laptop and everything runs well. I have an external modem that I connect to the COM1 port (/dev/cuaa0) and I'm able to phone to my ISP without a problem. This laptop came with a pc-card modem that I'd like to get working, so that I don't have to drag around the external. It's a Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 As near as I can tell, the system supports and recognizes this card (I get beeps and useful looking messages whenever I insert or remove it). However, It's not clear to me what device it's associated with. I'm thinking that If I knew the device, all I would have to do is change the line set device /dev/cuaa0 in my ppp.conf file to reflect the pc-card device and everything would work. Is there more to it than this? All the literature I've been able to find on PPP just talks about serial communications. I have no experience with pcmcia devices.

Does fBSD's file system creation make sure that all blocks of a newly created file system are in fact usable? I would be surprised if there were no cross checks in the formatting/partitioning/fs-creation path.

The mod_jk that I got was the binary, and I got it as binary on the recommendation of the documentation on jakarta.apache.org. It's my guess, that the binary doesn't know where to look for the shared object. Can someone advise me on what to do here? There seem to be huge inconsistencies between the online documentation at jakarta and what you get when you acquire the software or the behaviors of the software. Has anyone else noticed this?

I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that the symlink attached to home was the cause. Without having the exact set of commands that you have used, I can't tell for sure what happened. There are only two cases where the behavior of commands operating on symlinks might come as a surprise to the unwary user. Those that I have listed above. I cannot guess which one of the two bit you and which one bit the original poster of this thread, without having access to detailed command history though. Yes - use tcsh as root. It's not a matter of the shell. It is a matter of what the arguments of rm(1) are, when it's used though. Unfortunately the history only goes so far back and lots has happened since. Sorry. However, I'd be prepared to swear on a (small) stack of bibles that the command I issued was: rm -rf home I don't know about swearing, but try as I might I can't get rm(1) to delete the target of a symlink calling it this way. Add an extra slash character at the end of that and we're back in territorry that I can recognise, understand and explain :-) This removed /slash/var/home from /dev/ad2 as I wished, but also removed the original /usr/home on /dev/ad0. I had RTFM because I knew rm was very powerful and that undeletion was impossible. -rf is all that is required to delete a directory and any subdirectories therein, is it not? Yes it is.

Re: pc-card modem setup, device, ppp.conf
On Sat, Feb 01, 2003 at 10:42:47AM -0500, Michael Walsh wrote: I just installed FreeBSD 4.7 on my HP OmniBook 4150 laptop and everything runs well. I have an external modem that I connect to the COM1 port (/dev/cuaa0) and I'm able to phone to my ISP without a problem. This laptop came with a pc-card modem that I'd like to get working, so that I don't have to drag around the external. It's a Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 As near as I can tell, the system supports and recognizes this card (I get beeps and useful looking messages whenever I insert or remove it). However, It's not clear to me what device it's associated with. I'm thinking that If I knew the device, all I would have to do is change the line set device /dev/cuaa0 in my ppp.conf file to reflect the pc-card device and everything would work. Is there more to it than this? All the literature I've been able to find on PPP just talks about serial communications. I have no experience with pcmcia devices. Any input would be greatly appreciated. That card should come up as a standard serial device sioN, where the value of 'N' will, I think, depend on the number of sio devices configured into your kernel. For example, if I plug a very similar Xircom Ethernet+Modem 33.6 into my 5.0 laptop I get: pccard: card inserted, slot 1 sio4 at port 0x3e8-0x3ef iomem 0xd4000-0xd5fff irq 11 slot 1 on pccard1 sio4: type 16450 You should see something similar on your 4.7 machine, provided you have pccardd running (pccard_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf). Once you know which sio device the card is using, you know what to put in your 'set device' line for ppp. In my case, I'd use /dev/cuaa4. I imagine your card will come up on sio4 as well, since the default 4.x kernels have sio0-3 compiled in, and pccardd will grab the next available device. A couple of things to watch out for: - You might need to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV cuaa4 as root to create the device node if it's not already there. - This card can also function as an Ethernet device using the xe driver. You can't use both functions at once with 4.x. The function you get depends on whether the 'sio' or 'xe' entry for the card occurs first in /etc/pccard.conf (or /etc/defaults/pccard.conf). Unless you've changed /etc/pccard.conf yourself you should get the sio version of the card.

Grub 0.92 fails to recognise disks on FBSD5
Hi all, i'm experiencing problems with the installation of the GRUB bootloader. I have installed the port (grub version 0.92) and created the /boot/grub directory with the files from /usr/local/share/grub/i381-freebsd. Next I created a menu.lst file in /boot/grub and thought to install GRUB in the mbr, so I launch the grub shell. My fbsd install is on ad0s2 with / on partition a. If i am correct that should be (hd0,1,a) for grub, right? well this is what i get: grub root (hd0,1,a) Error 21: Selected disk does not exist I looked up the error in the manual and it says: This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full filename refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or not recognized by the BIOS in the system. which doesn't help me much i'm afraid... dmesg shows my disk as follows: ad0: 39266MB IC35L040AVVN07-0 [79780/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 does anyone have a clue what's going on here?

DNS question
I've got a dns running on a freebsd computer at my company. I'm new to the concept of DNS and how it all works.

Re: DNS question
[please wrap you lines at 72 characters or so] aSe wrote: When a person does a dns lookup to the server and its not already cached, how does It find out the correct name server to use to find the ip? FreeBSD comes with a list of root DNS servers. These are master servers maintained by many different sources that have information on the top level domains. From this list, the DNS can figure out which root server to contact for .com or .net or .whatever. That server then directs your server to the specific DNS server that has the information you are asking for. This is oversimplified. If you have forwarders configured, then the forwarders check their cache first, before consulting the root servers. But the basic method is described there. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Does this have something to do with ppp not accepting a renewed DHCP IP address? PPP doesn't use DHCP; you're confusing two technologies. Whether or not you get the same IP after dropping your connection depends entirely upon your provider. Some providers will keep recently-dropped IPs around for some period of time so that you can get the same IP back when you reconnect, but others won't. In most cases, PPPoE service with dynamic IPs are not designed for hosting servers (which is the only case where you'd need a static IP). If this is allowable by your AUP, I'd look into using a commercial DNS service that can let you auto-update your IPs when they change. My personal choice is ZoneEdit (http://www.zoneedit.com). sorry, I guess i wasnt clear enough; i do not mind that, what I mind, is that PPP keeps locking up. --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

When I connect it to the USB bus I get the follwing message: umass0: Fujitsu Memorybird, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 3 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fujitsu Memorybird 1.06 Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 1.000MB/s transfers da0: 125MB (256000 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 125C) (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ(6)/WRITE(6) not supported, increasing minimum_cmd_size to 10 And with usbdevs(8) and camcontrol(8) I can list the device: # usbdevs -d -v -a 3 -f /dev/usb1 Controller /dev/usb1: addr 3: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, Memorybird(0x0100), Fujitsu(0x0d7d), rev 1.00 umass0 # camcontrol devlist -v scbus0 on umass-sim0 bus 0: Fujitsu Memorybird 1.06 at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass0) scbus-1 on xpt0 bus 0: at scbus-1 target -1 lun -1 (xpt0) But how do I access it?

Well, the following actually works, # mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /memorybird Since the there is support for hot-swapping of the device, I guess that there should be some kind of automatic mount/umount of the device.

Re: Multiple solutions for a problem (Re: How to map bad sectors onIDE?)
This has been an open question - I dont believe IDE's do much of their own bad block marking - there used to be a utility called bad144 - though I dont know that it did much - I know SCO has a utility.

All I found is that this is not possible on IDE. Advise: Throw away the disk. Now this I find a bit radical :-) Esp. since the disk is about 3 years old. Why is it radical? Because it involves a lot of work to backup the disk, open up the machine, check it with some software that reports something that I could tell Maxtor, have them give me another disk (if they do that). Wait, wait, wait. And all this time machine not working obviously, which is extra bad since it is the key machine here that connects others to the internet. All in all I would say 10 hours work, a few weeks of waiting. So why not first try something (if it exists, which was my question) that does not involve picking up a screwdriver and turning of my network here? Or lets say I am poor (which I am) and cannot really just run off and buy a new disk? The one with problems may be under warrenty, it may not. I cannot tell before I take the machine apart and read the serial on the disk. Your advise sounds perfectly sound for IBM and Microsoft and the Pentagon. But for a home or small office situation, there might be another way to deal with it? Especially since we are not talking about something 10 years old or heavily used in a mailserver. After all, IDE disks already do bad-block remapping internally, so you've built up a *lot* of bad sectors already if they're starting to become visible to the operating system...

Re: Error while compiling kernel.
On Sat, 1 Feb 2003, Sergey Niunco wrote: Device scbus was and is in my kernel config. A few days ago I compiled it without a problem. Did you CVSUP since the lat time you compiled? If so, you might have done it during a commit, so something got broken. Every now and then (maybe two or three times a year?) I'll get a broken buildworld that is usually fixed by CVSUPing a day or two layer. If you have no clue what CVSUP is, or you did not perform a CVSUP, check your kernel config again. Although, I don't think that that synatax errors are usually caused by missing dependancies. Another possibility (doesn't seem likely, but you neverk now) is that there's some stale files sitting around. Remove /usr/src/sys/compile/* (remove the subdirectories, not the compile directory itself) and try again. Hope this helps.

RE: Samba and XP?
XP Home will not 'log into' ANY server-based network (NT4 domain model OR Active Directory). However, this does not mean you can't access samba shares on other machines. ie. it supports workgroup networking but not domain networking. Login to the local XP Home box, browse on the network to find the SMB server you want, and open it up. The XP Home box will attempt to authenticate using the local user's username and password: if that fails, it will pop up a box asking for a valid username and password. This should work just fine. XP Home CAN also access shares on servers that are part of a domain, using this same method. The only difference is that the username and password used must be valid on the domain. BTW: just to make it clear, if the credentials used to login to the local XP Home box exist on the SMB server, the user will be let straight through without being asked for another password. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jason Hunt Sent: Sunday, 2 February 2003 9:33 AM To: Bill Moran Cc: John Wilson; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Samba and XP?

Re: Analog Modum
I'm looking for a analog modem. I didn't see any in the hardware lists. Can you please tell me which ones will work on FreeBSD? 99% of all modems are analog. There are some digital modems, but they're rare. But you need to be careful, because DSL routers are sometimes mislabeled as Modems, even though they're technically not.

One of the tricks it does is randomly drop any static IP addresses it has been set and grant itself new ones from ranges that are already assigned. Also, sometimes when there is nothing wrong network-wise other than an unplugged cable, it will lead the clueless user through a whole rigmarole where they are encouraged to Set up home networking or some such, which rips through every network setting on the box and they end up trying to do some non-IP nonsense called Bridged connection or whatever (nothing to do with Ethernet bridging I'm sure), and then the user wonders why they can't get on the net anymore - Nothing works, I've followed all the instructions, I think your firewall thing is broken. XP pro doesn't seem to do anything like that, presumably because its designed to be actually used on a corporate network where they might be people around who'll see through it. -- W. Palfreman.

Re: Microsoft USB keyboard
Doug I've bought a handfull of cheap Microsoft Natural Keyboards from Doug a reseller, but they turned out to be USB only keyboards. Mike Change your keyboard type in your XF86Config file from pc101 (or Mike whatever it is set to currently) to something higher, and try Mike xev again. Mike I'm not sure what you should set it to, but it's another knob to Mike twiddle. I've tried a few, like pc104, pc105, even microsoftpro which I found in one of the config files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86. None of them (after re-starting the X server) ever caused xev to produce ANY events for those extra hot keys.

Why should I use `config;make depend;make...` instead of `make kernel`when building from a stock source tree? (ref. Handbook sec. 9.3)
There are two sets of commands you can use to build a kernel in FreeBSD: Procedure 1 is the old way: config, make depend, make, make install. Procedure 2 is the make kernel sequence from makeworld. Section 9.3 of the Handbook says I should use procedure 1 if I haven't updated my source tree. I can understand then need to use procedure 2 if I've updated my source tree, but why shouldn't I use it with an unmodified tree?

u320 scsi by lsi
Dear freeBSD gurus, I have an asus pr-dlsw motherboard (dual xeon p4, agp pro 50, lsi 1030 u320 scsi on board), and I have a seagate 15.3k rpm hard drive that supports u320, a geforce4 ti4400 -128mb video card, and the dreaded SB Live. When I start my installation of bsd it tells me it can't find the hard drive, that maybe my controller wasn't installed. But I don't see any place where I could install my own 3rd-party drivers, which are not supplied for BSD by asus with the board. Can you help?

Re: Grub 0.92 fails to recognise disks on FBSD5
On Sat, 1 Feb 2003 21:19:02 +0100, Chris Delnooz [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Hi all, i'm experiencing problems with the installation of the GRUB bootloader. I have installed the port (grub version 0.92) and created the /boot/grub directory with the files from /usr/local/share/grub/i381-freebsd. Next I created a menu.lst file in /boot/grub and thought to install GRUB in the mbr, so I launch the grub shell. My fbsd install is on ad0s2 with / on partition a. If i am correct that should be (hd0,1,a) for grub, right? well this is what i get: grub root (hd0,1,a) Error 21: Selected disk does not exist I looked up the error in the manual and it says: This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full filename refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or not recognized by the BIOS in the system. which doesn't help me much i'm afraid... dmesg shows my disk as follows: ad0: 39266MB IC35L040AVVN07-0 [79780/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 does anyone have a clue what's going on here? Two ideas, though you may want to wait to see if others more knowledgeable weigh in. Try the steps outlined in the manual regarding installing from a floppy disk. If that also runs into problems, try the device command to tell GRUB what hd0 is. Jud To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Ooops.
Are we aiming at the wrong target, here? I used the fixit CD to examine ad0s3, where my missing files reside. What I found was that (eg) /bin, /etc, /dev were full of files/directories, but /var and /usr were empty. I didn't ask dump/restore to delete anything, and did not ask rm to remove the files from /var or /usr/everything. The command I used to copy was: dump 0af - / | restore xf - Is it dump or restore that have been causing the problem? home@ on ad0s3 still links to /usr/home so that if I mount /dev/ad0s3 /mnt/other in my working system on ad2, ls /mnt/other/home shows my working home directory - a bit startling when you first see it.
