FW: ssh and resolv.conf question

2003-05-29 Thread Didier Wiroth
The reverse lookup zone is installed and works but, it did not resolve the
problem!

Adding nameserver 192.168.0.2 or nameserver 127.0.0.1 as first entry in
resolve.conf still produces the extreme delay (30-40 sec) between the
username and password prompt with an ssh client??!!

When I remove these entries an add two external dns servers, the problem is
solved, why?

Thanks for any help

 When I change back resolv.conf to Case1 there is no problem,

 What it is the problem?

Setting up reverse DNS, or adding the machines to /etc/hosts will almost 
certainly help with that sort of delay.  Note that you should probably only
use 
a search line, not domain and search.

 I don't know: I brought the monitor (under warranty) to BestBuy - they

Then the monitor's probably fine..
 
  If you're using custom modelines, try dropping to a standard
  refresh rate.  Or if your monitor and video card support DPMS,
  remove all modelines from your config file, put option dpms in
  your Monitor section, and let X determine a good refresh rate.
 
 Good advice, but it happened on console too - even at standard 80x25.

If it happens in text mode, it's not FreeBSD's fault :)  Could be the
video card going bad, although I haven't seen your symptoms before
myself.
 
 BTW: How can I know if my monitor supports DPMS?

Check the manual.  Accoring to hp.com, yours does.

Re: pkgdb -F

On Wednesday 28 May 2003 05:43 am, Jonathan Arnold wrote:
 I'm trying to clean up my pkgdb, so I'm going to take it one step
 at a time. First, is there any useful documentation on this? The
 man page is rather sparse on how to answer the questions that
 pop up.

There are a couple of things that I do. I have a few aliases that help me 
maintain my ports. They link to tools such as portversion -c and do a make 
search. I symplified make search to

# cat search
#! /bin/sh
cd /usr/ports
make search name=$1

I only run pkgdb -F when portupgrade tells me to. To use the portupgrade 
tools, you have to have current versions of INDEX and INDEX.db. This means 
that you either run make index; portsdb -u or portsdb -uU everytime you 
cvsup ports-all. If you refuse ports or don't use ports-all, make index will 
most likely fail. I use the make index sequence.

The current version of INDEX is 10-days old and INDEX-5 is 11-days old. This 
is really pretty current for both versions of INDEX but it is way out of date 
for maintaining your ports. If they upgraded the INDEXs everytime a change 
was made to the port system bento would be spending most of its time running 
make index.

Since I regenerate INDEX* everytime I cvsup ports-all, I added ports/INDEX to 
my refuse file. This can save several minutes of redownloading something that 
I am going to recreate.


 For instance, when I run:

 $ pkgdb -F

 I get the following output to start with:
  ---  Checking the package registry database
  Stale origin: 'multimedia/libmpeg2': perhaps moved or obsoleted.
  Skip this for now? [yes] no
  no
  Browse CVSweb for the port's history? [no]
 
  Guessing... no idea.
  Not in due form category/portname:
  Fixed. (- multimedia/libmpeg2)
  Stale dependency: p5-CGI-Application-2.3 - p5-Test-Harness-2.26
  (devel/p5-Test-Harness): p5-Test-Simple-0.47 (score:53%) ?
  ([y]es/[n]o/[a]ll) [no]

 What does Stale origin mean and how do I get rid of it?

 What does Stale dependency mean and how do I get rid of it? I take
 it to mean in this case that p5-CGI-Application-2.3 depends on
 p5-Test-Harness-2.26, and the latter is missing? old? unknown?

 And I think it is trying to tell me that a possible replacement is
 p5-Test-Simple-0.47. How do I tell if it is correct?

If you run portversion -c, you will probably find that there is now a 
version ..-0.47_1 and you need to upgrade it to the _1 version. If 
portversions dies, then you can do a make search on p5-CGI-Application-2.3 
and see the chain that it needs to point to and then run pkgdb -F and fix 
the dependancy chain.

If you let your ports get too far out of touch, you may have to delete a port 
and its dependancies and reinstall it. The current version of portupgrade 
does a good job most of the time but there are times when it simply givers up 
and you have to fix things on your own. At this point, you need to understand 
the port system, which is described in chapter 4 in the Handbook.

1. Use a much larger block size.  I think 64k or 128k will be about as good
   as you can get, but you probably want to experiment to see what works

2. Put the drives on separate cables if possible.  Most ATA drives are
   pretty dumb - I imagine your are hogging the bus so that you can't read
   and write simultaneously.

3. Make sure you have DMA turned on if the drives support it (man
   atacontrol) and that you're using 80-wire cables if your drives and
   controller can run at UDMA66 speed or faster.

Hope that helps,

Subject: Secondary DNS configuration issue.


 Sir ,

 I am setting up an secondary DNS ,

 all i want to known is what shall ne the config in the named.conf for the
 secondary DNS to get the zone files from the primary .

 wat I experienced is :  when i configured the secondary DNS  started the
 named daemon on the secondary ,and in the primary i gave the  in named.conf
 of primary


 options {
 directory /etc/namedb;
 allow-transfer { 216.xxx.xxx.xxx;};



 so that the transfer happens between the primary and secondary.

 question 1)  do we have to maually transfer the zone files  for the first
 time  

Nope.  As long as the permisions are right, named will do it on its own.

Here is some text from the named.conf on one of my backup NSs:

zone tasam.com {
type slave;
file zones/tasam.com.zone;
masters {
216.22.46.160;
};
};

Just have to make sure whatever user named (usually bind) is runing is has write 
access to 'zones'.  ('zones' being a subdir of the
directory defined near the top of the named.conf)



 question 2)  If the zones files are not in sync with the Primary and
 Secondary DNS ,wat must be the possible cause ???

If your secondary has old and out of date zone files, it means that one
of the following is probably true:
 - named has not been running on the secondary
 - someone forgot to update the serial number on the primary
   (named only knows to download a zone again when the serial number changes)
 - the secondary is not allowed to zone transfer from the primary
 - the secondary has the wrong address for the primary
 - the user named is running at one the secondary does not have access
   to write the zones
If the secondary has newer zone file than the primary it means someone has been 
modifying the zone files on the secondary (which
they of course should not do)


 will be happy if get an answer for this .

booting a different kernel each time

2003-05-29 Thread Fernan Aguero
Hi,

I need to send my everyday machine (pentiumIII) to repair. I will
take the disks and move them to a spare pentiumI so I can
keep working meanwhile.

The problem is I need to have a kernel that will work with a
different processor and with a different ethernet card. 

My question: are there any issues in having two different
kernels and booting from the alternatively? I mean switching
kernels before booting so I don't have to 'unload' a kernel
at boot time and then load a diffent one.

And: should I backup both the kernel and the kernel modules
under a different name (kernel.p3, modules.p3/) so I can
then boot from it later?

Thanks in advance,

Fernan

Re: advice about copy from disk to disk

2003-05-29 Thread Joseph Gleason
I usually get better transfer rates with bs=16k or so.

What transfer rate do you get?  If they are modern drives (which 80gb implies) you 
should get about 20-30MB/s.  At that rate it
should take a little over an hour to transfer.

To see the transfer start the dd, let it run for maybe 10-15 sec and give it a Ctrl+c. 
 It should print out its transfer rate thus
far.

Probably far more important than block size, is putting those drives on separate ide 
channels.  Your notation indicates that they
are on the same cable, which will slow it down significantly.  If all of your ide 
positions are in use, it might be worth while to
get an add on ide card if you are doing this alot.

Also, what ide mode are the drives in?
You can see this with atacontrol mode N, where N is the number of the ide channel 
you are intersted in.  If it says PIO4 or
something starting with PIO it will probably be quite slow.

Setting kernel name in buildkernel

Suppose I want to build a kernel that will be stored in a file with
a name that I chose instead of the usual /kernel.  Is there a way

interfere with the location of the modules somehow, but I don't know
for sure.

I would appreciate any suggestions for both, -stable and -current.

Re: booting a different kernel each time

2003-05-29 Thread Joseph Gleason
I would recommend just making a new kernel that can support the hardware of either 
machine.

To the best of my knowledge there would be no problem going back and forth.  As for 
the modules, I wouldn't worry about it.  I
believe that as long as both kernels are compiled from the same source tree, the 
modules should be the same.

However, I am certainly not the King of Weasels when it comes to kernel modules so I 
may be mistaken.

 kernels before booting so I don't have to 'unload' a kernel
 at boot time and then load a diffent one.

 And: should I backup both the kernel and the kernel modules
 under a different name (kernel.p3, modules.p3/) so I can
 then boot from it later?

 Thanks in advance,

 Fernan

floppy disk hardware failure ?

2003-05-29 Thread Lee Harr
Hi;

Recently, trying to use my floppy disk drive, I started getting messages 
like this:

Is this a hardware problem?  I get the same thing with all disks I have 
tried.

RE: Setting kernel name in buildkernel

2003-05-29 Thread FBSD_User
Copy /kernel to different name, say kernela, and then recompile
kernel source containing changes and it will replace /kernel, then
copy /kernel to different name, say kernelb.  When you want to
return kernela copy kernela to kernel and reboot. You will have to
change the flag on /kernel before you can overwrite it.  Use
commands like this

chflags noschg /kernel

Subject: Setting kernel name in buildkernel

Hello,

Suppose I want to build a kernel that will be stored in a file with
a name that I chose instead of the usual /kernel.  Is there a way
to do that without manual file movements?  I suppose this could
interfere with the location of the modules somehow, but I don't know
for sure.

I would appreciate any suggestions for both, -stable and -current.

Thank you,

Hi,

I need to send my everyday machine (pentiumIII) to repair. I will
take the disks and move them to a spare pentiumI so I can
keep working meanwhile.

The problem is I need to have a kernel that will work with a
different processor and with a different ethernet card.

My question: are there any issues in having two different
kernels and booting from the alternatively? I mean switching
kernels before booting so I don't have to 'unload' a kernel
at boot time and then load a diffent one.

And: should I backup both the kernel and the kernel modules

Re: advice about copy from disk to disk

2003-05-29 Thread Dan Nelson
In the last episode (May 28), Joseph Gleason said:
 I usually get better transfer rates with bs=16k or so.
 
 What transfer rate do you get?  If they are modern drives (which 80gb
 implies) you should get about 20-30MB/s.  At that rate it should take
 a little over an hour to transfer.
 
 To see the transfer start the dd, let it run for maybe 10-15 sec and
 give it a Ctrl+c.  It should print out its transfer rate thus far.

Ctrl-T will send SIGINFO, which will make dd print its throughput
without aborting.

Re: Apache+mod_ssl

different (eg. the httpd binary is named apache and the httpd.conf file

Re: Apache+mod_ssl

2003-05-29 Thread Peter Elsner
Thanks Mark,

Along with a private response from Raphaël Marmier, who told me
that I should run: apachectl startssl (instead of the apachectl start I 
normally run),

I discovered that there was an httpsdctl program in the same directory as
apachectl.  After generating my key(s) and certificates (I signed them 
myself),
I ran httpsdctl start and httpsd started...  A quick ps ax | grep 'http'
showed both httpd and httpsd running...

I quickly checked to make sure my current web pages still worked, and
they did.  Then I went to /usr/local/etc/apache and modified the
httpsd.conf file accordingly...  Restarted httpsd and put in a
quick and dirty index.html file (all it says is this is a secure page), into
the directory (that I defined in httpsd.conf).
Then went to my browser, and typed in: https://www.myserver.com

Instead of getting the index.html page I got, I got a page not found.

So I went to look at the log files...  Nothing... The log files for https
are empty, (nothing in error.log or access.log).  So I went to the
original log files and checked them... Nothing.
I'm not getting any error messages, and httpsd is running.
but the web pages aren't coming up either...
BTW: httpsdctl configtest shows that the httpsd.conf file is
okay.
If anyone has any more insight into this, I would much appreciate it.

Thanks again,

Peter

called with arguments: '-w132', '-l66', '-i0', '-n', 'root', '-h',

This could mean you don't have a tape in the drive.  There are a
limited number of error codes the kernel can return, and ENXIO is a
catch-all for I know what you want but it's not there:

 6 ENXIO Device not configured.  Input or output on a special file
 referred to a device that did not exist, or made a request
 beyond the limits of the device.  This error may also
 occur when, for example, a tape drive is not online or no
 disk pack is loaded on a drive.

You can use rsa0.ctl to send commands to the tape drive when there is
no tape inserted (to set compression or density for the next tape, for
example, or to read the error status)

We have been using your excellent products in our FreeBSD servers for the
past several years. We manage and administer approximately 230 servers,
all of them using 3Ware raid cards.
When we first starting using your products (5000 Series) we would have to
be less than truthful with your tech support staff (tell them we were
using linux) just to get them to talk with us. Fortunately we now have a
significant amount of experience with your products that we don't have to
rely on your tech support people so much anymore (but when we do we still
have to tell them we're using linux... ).
We would love to have current drivers and even more, device management
utilities.
I urge you to please give FreeBSD support very serious consideration. And
give us some love man, the FreeBSD crowd is one of your biggest
supporters.
Thank you for your consideration and for making such a fine product!

 If you refuse ports or don't use ports-all, make index will most
 likely fail. I use the make index sequence.

Here, index making occasionally, not most often, fails due to missing

Hi all,

I use a Towitoko chipdrive micro, Freebsd 4.8 and 5.1b (same results)
Serial ports are standard 16650A (tried both first and second)

PGP Public Email Keyservers
---
There are PGP public email key servers which allow one to exchange 
public keys running using the Internet and UUCP mail systems.  Those 
capable of accessing the WWW might prefer to use the WWW interface 
available via http://www.pgp.net/pgpnet/www-key.html and managers of 
sites which may want to make frequent lookups may care to copy the 
full keyring from the FTP server at ftp://ftp.pgp.net/pub/pgp/keys/

This service exists only to help transfer keys between PGP users. 
It does NOT attempt to guarantee that a key is a valid key; 
use the signatures on a key for that kind of security.

Each keyserver processes requests in the form of mail messages.
The commands for the server are entered on the Subject: line.

Sending your key to ONE server is enough.  After it processes your 
key, it will forward your add request to other servers automagically.

For example, to add your key to the keyserver, or to update your key 
if it is already there, send a message similar to the following to any 
server:

Hi

Not sure if it's a typo, but the file should be rcpthosts (not rcphosts).
Ehmm you are correct i missed a letter there.

Contents should be hostname.domain-name.TLD and domain-name.TLD
For example on my box:
nostromo:[/var/qmail/control]  cat rcpthosts
nostromo.brian-jackson.net
brian-jackson.net
HTH
Brian
My rcpthosts looks like this:

dasboot.birch.se
thrawn.birch.se
This is the machine Im sitting on and using as my workstation logning in to
squirrelmail via my LAN.
setiathome.birch.se

This is the squirrelmail/apache/qmail server but the LAN domain + LAN 
hostname.

localhost

tysken.un1x.la
webmail.tysken.un1x.la
Those to are the domain/subdomain names for the internet of 
setiathome.birch.se

I have set my hostname to tysken.un1x.la instead of setiathome.birch.se but 
I
still get the same error.

But Im thinking that this is not qmail problem that this have something to 
do
with courier-imap not allowing it but I can be wrong.

Any who thanks for the reply!

Installing on a IBM PC320 Server

2003-05-29 Thread David Nicholas
I have an old IBM PC320 Server with the following hardware (use to have
Microsoft SBS 4.5 installed before I tried to install FreeBSD):

128MB RAM
2 (4.5GB) Quantum Viking WSE SCSI hard drives, one is SCSI ID#0 and the
other SCSI ID#1
SCSI ID#7 Adaptec AHA-2940 SCSI controller
SCSI ID#2 HP 35470A Tape Drive
SCSI ID#3 IBM CDRM00203 SCSI CD-ROM
Trident TGVA (1MB) video card
2 (100Mhz) Pentium Processors

Installed FreeBSD 4.8 (and also tried FreeBSD 4.2) with no hiccups using the
outlined installation in the FreeBSD handbook with no other operating
systems.  When I go to reboot, the Boot Manager comes up with two options:
F1 FreeBSD and F5 Drive 1 (or F5 Drive 0, depending if I select F5).
Neither work.  It will not boot past this point.  What am I doing wrong?  I
know it probably has something to do with my SCSI ID's but I don't have a
clue what arrangement or BIOS settings that need to be adjusted.  Has anyone
installed on this type of server and if so, what settings are needed on the
physical server.  Or is there a way to get around it in the installation
process.  Thanks for all your help!  I'd really like to get FreeBSD going on

Of course.  The main issue is that since each device on SCSI can
negotiate its own speed with the controller, an ancient SCSI tape drive
with a 5MB/sec write speed that negotiated a 10MB/sec bus speed with
the controller could tie up the SCSI bus 50% of the time just to
transfer data.  If the server is trying to do other stuff while a
backup is running it can degrade performance noticeably.

If your tape drive really is LVD-capable, it's not an issue.  Even a
15MB/sec drive will only tie up 20% of the SCSI bus bandwidth at full
speed, assuming it negotiated an LVD-80 connection to the server.
 
 I think all drives are lvd AND I know I have an active lvd terminator
 -- it cost me $30!  But, I do have cdrom ron the 50 pin bus.  It is
 terminated using the cdrom internal terminator.  I wonder...

On the 29160 cards, the internal SE plugs are searated from the LVD/SE
plugs by a bridge chip, so your cdrom should not affect your other
devices' ability to negotiate LVD mode on their segment of the cable. 
You may want to explicitly tell your controller to terminate the top 8
bits of the bus only; sometimes the autodetect setting doesn't work.

Running camcontrol inq da0 (then cd0, then sa0) will tell you what
speed each device negotiated with the controller.

i18n with foreign package

2003-05-29 Thread Hanspeter Roth
Hello,

I'm trying to install a foreign package with i18n with a specific
prefix. The package is icewm-1.2.8pre2 and the prefix is
/usr/opt/icewm-1.2.8pre2.
So the locale directory becomes
/usr/opt/icewm-1.2.8pre2/share/locale . Here are several language
directories. Their names are be.po, ca.po, cs.po and so forth.
Below there is de.po/LC_MESSAGES/icewm.mo for example.
But starting this icewm with LANG=de_DE has no effect. LANG=C is
used.
How can I run this icewm with the German local without copying
the icewm.mo into the public place /usr/share/locale/... ?

You will have to install a boot manager capable of fooling Windows into 
thinking it is booting from the first slice/partition.  Grub is in the 
ports system and works well.  Smart Boot Manager has already been 
suggested.  GAG is a nice free boot manager that I use.  BootItNG is a nice 
shareware boot manager I did use for a long time.  I haven't tried XOSL, 
but ISTR reading that it can do what you need.

There, that should be enough choices to get started.  :)

How to Tell When Man Page Changes?

2003-05-29 Thread Dave Tweten
I've always believed that the date man puts at the middle of the bottom of 
a man page is the date of last modification.  In at least the case of the 
ssh_config man page, that seems to be wrong.

I like to read lengthy man pages off dead trees instead of pixels.  To 
avoid killing too many trees, I've made a practice of checking the pixel 
copy's date against the dead-tree copy's date, and printing a new version 
only when the date changes.

For ssh_config, at least, that seems to be a bad idea.  My most recent 
paper copy is from FreeBSD 4.6, and has a date of September 25, 1999.  The 
most recent pixel copy from FreeBSD-STABLE says FreeBSD 4.8, and still has 
a date of September 25, 1999.  Looks like they should be identical.  
They're not.  At least the default for CheckHostIP reversed from yes to 
no from the 4.6 page to the 4.8 page.

Is the date at the bottom of the page supposed to be the date of last 
modification?  If not, what is it good for?  Is there some other 
recommended means of telling when a man page has changed?

Thanks for helping keep me up-to-date on the culture.

Hi David,

It does sound like your hard drive is misconfigured somehow, but I don't 
know how much the -newbies list can help you. (Hence, I'm forwarding it to 
-questions; please continue that thread...)

I can only think of a few things that you might try. One, verify that the 
disk geometry is set right during the install. Two, disable LBA and any 
other non-unix friendly settings in the bios. (As I don't know a whole lot 
about SCSI, I can't say much about the latter course of action.)

Hope you get it worked out,
Clayton

Re: How to Tell When Man Page Changes?

 I've always believed that the date man puts at the middle of the bottom of 
 a man page is the date of last modification.  In at least the case of the 
 ssh_config man page, that seems to be wrong.
 
 I like to read lengthy man pages off dead trees instead of pixels.  To 
 avoid killing too many trees, I've made a practice of checking the pixel 
 copy's date against the dead-tree copy's date, and printing a new version 
 only when the date changes.
 
 For ssh_config, at least, that seems to be a bad idea.  My most recent 
 paper copy is from FreeBSD 4.6, and has a date of September 25, 1999.  The 
 most recent pixel copy from FreeBSD-STABLE says FreeBSD 4.8, and still has 
 a date of September 25, 1999.  Looks like they should be identical.  
 They're not.  At least the default for CheckHostIP reversed from yes to 
 no from the 4.6 page to the 4.8 page.
 
 Is the date at the bottom of the page supposed to be the date of last 
 modification?  If not, what is it good for?  Is there some other 
 recommended means of telling when a man page has changed?

The date displayed at the bottom is whatever date is specified in the
man-page sources.  This is probably supposed to be the date of last
modification, but since it is not updated automatically it requires
people to remember to update the date whenever the manpage is changed.
This often does not happen.  Many manpages has not had the date changed
since they were first created, even though they have changed since then.

In short: Yes, the date displayed is probably supposed to be the date
of last modification, but you can't rely on it being correct.

I also cannot reproduce this, nor can I with 1.8.4.  Without a stack
trace with symbols, I cannot recommend a next step other than to upgrade
to 1.8.4 from my CVS repo.  You can do this by checking out the
ports-stable module per the instructions at
http://www.marcuscom.com:8080/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi.  Get the marcusmerge
script, too, to merge the ports from my CVS tree into your main ports
tree.  If you don't want to do this, you can wait for the ports freeze
to lift, and GnuCash 1.8.4 is committed to the main tree.

console fonts

2003-05-29 Thread P. U. Kruppa
Hi!

Something (the last system update or me myself) has messed up my
console fonts.

These are the symptoms:
- pseudographic characters which are needed to display useful
  tools like /stand/sysinstall and the midnight-commander look
  awful. Strange symbols are displayed instead of neat lines.
- In vi and pine I can't use the arrow up and down keys anymore
- On the other hand on my tcshell german umlauts are displayed
  correctly, which could be a nice feature (if there were any
  unix commands with german umlauts :-) )
- on my gnome desktop everything is ok.

My LANG is set to de_DE.ISO8859-15 and I am running last week's
-CURRENT.
I tried to play around with vidcontrol and kbdcontrol but
couldn't work out a solution.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Uli.

Spammers forged my address - help unbury me from bounces?

2003-05-29 Thread Kirk Strauser
Some jackass(es) sent a bunch of spam with forged From: headers referring to
non-existent accounts on one of my domains.  Consequently, I've been getting
about 20,000 bounce messages per day to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], etc.  What's a good way to handle these?  If I set up
aliases to /dev/null, then I still have to receive an entire bounce message
before silently discarding it (and even worse, have to watch the
SpamAssassin milter process it before discarding it).  If I don't set up any
aliases for those users, then I get bounce messages from my own mailserver
telling me that it couldn't deliver the original bounce messages to the fake
usernames.

Help!

What I really want is something like:

if ($user == 'Erin' or $user == 'Michelle')
{
   send 550 to remote server
   do nothing else at all
}

Is this possible?  Please save me from being pushed over the line, buying a
paintball gun, and going hunting.

Boot problem: ata0: resetting devices

2003-05-29 Thread Rich Morin
I recently purchased a new motherboard (ECS EliteGroup Mainboard P4S5A/DX+;
AMI BIOS) and a matching CPU (Celeron, 478 pin, 2.1 GHz) from outpost.com.
I stuffed these into an old chassis, adding a 500 W power supply and a pair
of 512 MB DDR DIMMs.
After walking through the configuration (accepting Optimal Settings for
everything), I tried booting up the machine on an IDE drive that was loaded
with FreeBSD and had been used most recently with a 200 MHz Pentium II.
The boot sequence proceeded without problems for quite a while, checking
devices, etc.  Then, however, it halted with a pair of nastygrams:
  ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 resetting
  ata0: resetting devices
I tried putting the ATA drive and the CDROM on separate cables, but that
didn't seem to help.  My suspicion is that the drive is too slow for the
ATA controller, but I don't see any way to compensate for this.  Help?

Is this possible?  Please save me from being pushed over the line, buying a
paintball gun, and going hunting.
You're lucky if you can identify a set of senders, rather than random 
alphabet soup senders.

You've identified the problem of dropping the mail only after receiving 
it.  This is the dumbest defense, since it allows the abusers to steal your 
resources.

So the best solution is to have the SMTPD process of the MX (desirably a 
machine in front of your mailbox server) to reject at the envelope, ie, 
after the RCTP TO: command and before the DATA command.

In postfix, you would have a to_recipients_black.map ACL file that the 
SMTPD process used to reject:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]554 ACL unknown recipient
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 554 ACL unknown recipient
This keeps the costs to you in bandwidth and in MX resources to barest minimum.

Postfix has another feature called reject_unverified_recipient that will 
probe the next-hop (your mailbox server) to see if the recipient is 
accepted there before actually the inbound msg.  This avoids building the 
to_recipients_black.map.  the reject_unverified_recipient feature maintains 
its own equivalent file to cache positive and negative answers to the 
recipient probes.

Don't accept the messages in the first place; that way, your machines won't have 
responsibility for trying to bounce the messages later on.

You don't mention which mail server you are using, but if you haven't changed 
the default FreeBSD MTA, add something like:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]   550 I don't want this mail!
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   550 I don't want this mail!
...to /etc/mail/access and do a make in /etc/mail.

[ ...slightly disordered, but hey... ]
If I don't set up any aliases for those users, then I get bounce messages
from my own mailserver telling me that it couldn't deliver the original

You could also add something like this to your .mc file:

define(`confDOUBLE_BOUNCE_ADDRESS', `nobody')dnl

...to suppress the double-bounce mail being generated.

Well, it would be nice to know how you connect your camera to the

the console when you connect it or insert the adaptor.  That message
would be useful.  If it's something else (is there anything else?), it

DSL router when what I need is a bridge; ARP problem?

2003-05-29 Thread Gary Aitken

   Grrr
   My only choice for a DSL isp will only do G.lite in routing mode, not
   bridging.
   So...  I want the dsl modem to essentially act as a bridge, feeding
   into one ethernet card on my freebsd box via a crossed cat5 cable, and
   the freebsd box handling routing and other duties for hosts connected
   to a hub on another ethernet card.  I *thought* this was going to be
   simple...
 dsl line --- Cisco 678 -ed0- freebsd -de0- local host
   I naively picked up a Cisco 678 thinking it would do the trick.
   However, even with CBOS 2.4.7 installed, it won't route out the
   ethernet port -- only out the wan port.  e.g., if the routing tables
   in the cisco look like this:
cbos#show route
  ip   mask   gateway  type  interface
0.0.0.00.0.0.0a.b.c.d  DSAR  wan0-0
router-ip255.255.255.252  freebsd-ip LAR   eth0
local-lan-ip 255.255.255.248  freebsd-ip SAR   eth0

   The router can ping anything on the local lan, sending its request and
   receiving its reply via the freebsd box; but if anything on the local
   lan other than the directly connected freebsd box pings the router,
   the router receives the ping but isn't smart enough to route the reply
   back.  Not exactly a very smart routing algorithm.  Instead, it sends
   out an ARP request on ed0 trying to discover the
   ethernet address for the local lan host which is on de0; it receives
   no reply, since the host is on the de0 lan on the other side of the
   freebsd box.  I'm not sure what the SAR type means (or DSAR  and LAR
   for that matter).
   From the arp man page, it seems like an arp -s entry should be
   automatically made in the freebsd box's arp cache as a result of the
   freebsd box knowing about the hosts on the local lan, and it should
   respond to the request from the router by sending its own (proxy)
   ethernet address, and then forward the packet out the other side.
   However, this doesn't happen.  A dump of the arp tables shows only the
   entry needed for routing on the local net, with no addresses
   published.
   If I manually add the ethernet address of the machine on the local net
   to the freebsd arp table using
 arp -s local host name local host ethernet addr pub only
   then the freebsd box does respond to the arp request from the router,
   but sends the ethernet address of the local host on de0, rather than
   that of its own interface on ed0, to the router.  The router then puts
   the ping (icmp) reply onto the wire to the freebsd box (ed0), but it
   is never picked up because it is addressed at the ethernet level to
   the local host on the other side (de0).
   On the other hand, if I add the ethernet address of the freebsd box
   interface to the router (ed0) as the published entry for the local
   host, the routing tables get generally bolluxed up, including
   notifications to the local host that its ethernet address is now
   different.  This appears to be because the arp entry is made for the
   inside local network on de0, rather than for the ethernet line running
   to the router on ed0.  The arp command appears to have no ability to
   specify which interface the published address is for.
   Can anyone shed some light on this?  Is this a bug or a feature, or am
   I just messed up and not doing it right?
   And finally... can anyone suggest a different dsl modem which will
   route properly, and which can accept vpi/vci pairs like (0,100)?  I'm
   told the Cisco 827H will deal with the vpi/vci pair (The Cisco 678
   will only take a vci in the range [0..63], but I don't have a lot of
   faith that it will route any better without info from someone who has
   direct experience with it.
   And, yes, I would like to shoot the bozo at my isp who set their stuff
   up, but he's moved on to wreck havoc at yet another installation.

samba shares over bridged freebsd wap

2003-05-29 Thread yussef
I recently got a freebsd wap working. my connection to the internet
seems fine, i can ping away all i want. i followed the steps in the
handbook, which include bridging the wi0 on the wap to the nic [rl1].
However, this doesnt seem to work with samba [and the wap happens to
store my files which i share over samba]. It seems because the wireless
device has no ip, samba doesnt see it. assuming this is the problem,
what are the options for having the wap work, but still being able to
access my samba shares? [as a side note: when i boot into windows on the
wireless client, i can access the wireless server just fine. so this
makes me think its doable, but perhaps a limitation in the current
samba? or simply poor configuration by the user?]
 perhaps setting up the wireless stuff on a different subnet, assigning
an ip, and then using static routes? this is rather new territory for
me, so my understanding is probably off.

thanks for any info.

boot error on R5.0

2003-05-29 Thread Kjell Midtseter
When booting the boot sequence ends with:
-
mounting root from ufs: /dev/ad0s1a
setrootbyname failed
ffs_mount root: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6
mountroot
--
When I enter 'ufs:ad0a' after the prompt I get a login prompt.
When I log in as root I receive a '%' prompt, and I
can enter commands etc..
---
Background:
I want to update my firewall to use the new pf packet filter port. 
This requires FreeBSD 5.0 It is not practical to recompile kernel  world 
on the firewall box. So I do all the work on a more powerfull box and
transfer the new system to a disk that I then move to the firewall
where I then get the above error message.

After building and testing the new system I
- move all required files to directories under /mybsd
- build a disk image with bootstrap and partitioning
- insert my files from /mybsd into the disk image
- use dd to copy the image to the firewall disk

The only difference from FreeBSD 4.x that I can see is that my
/mybsd/dev is not populated. In 4.x I copied MAKEDEV from /dev
to /mybsd/dev and used 'sh MAKEDEV all' to populate my new
/dev 

So what is this rootvp?

Re: Boot problem: ata0: resetting devices

2003-05-29 Thread Florent DANIEL
Le Jeudi 29 Mai 2003 07:05, Rich Morin a écrit :
 I recently purchased a new motherboard (ECS EliteGroup Mainboard P4S5A/DX+;
 AMI BIOS) and a matching CPU (Celeron, 478 pin, 2.1 GHz) from outpost.com.
 I stuffed these into an old chassis, adding a 500 W power supply and a pair
 of 512 MB DDR DIMMs.

 After walking through the configuration (accepting Optimal Settings for
 everything), I tried booting up the machine on an IDE drive that was loaded
 with FreeBSD and had been used most recently with a 200 MHz Pentium II.

 The boot sequence proceeded without problems for quite a while, checking
 devices, etc.  Then, however, it halted with a pair of nastygrams:

ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 resetting
ata0: resetting devices

 I tried putting the ATA drive and the CDROM on separate cables, but that
 didn't seem to help.  My suspicion is that the drive is too slow for the
 ATA controller, but I don't see any way to compensate for this.  Help?

Hello,

Deactivate the DMA mode in the BIOS, and it it should boot. Which version of 
FreeBSD do you use ? What is the chipset used by the motherboard ? If you're 
on 4.8, with a SiS 651, here is a possible fix to use the DMA modes :

http://minilien.com/?BNI4EdKfXa

 Fix:
Here is the patch to /sys/dev/ata/ata-dma.c

*** ata-dma.c.orig  Wed Oct  2 23:13:38 2002
--- ata-dma.c   Tue Feb 25 10:20:08 2003

ata_find_dev(parent, 0x06401039, 0) ||  /* SiS 640 */
ata_find_dev(parent, 0x06451039, 0) ||  /* SiS 645 */
ata_find_dev(parent, 0x06501039, 0) ||  /* SiS 650 */
+   ata_find_dev(parent, 0x06511039, 0) ||  /* SiS 651 */
ata_find_dev(parent, 0x07301039, 0) ||  /* SiS 730 */
ata_find_dev(parent, 0x07331039, 0) ||  /* SiS 733 */
ata_find_dev(parent, 0x07351039, 0) ||  /* SiS 735 */

It worked fine for this 3 monthes on my machine.
I'm afraid the same problem may occur on SiS 648, 655, 746 and 755-based 
machines...

Re: Boot problem: ata0: resetting devices

2003-05-29 Thread Rich Morin
Here's a bit more information on the configuration:

  OS: FreeBSD 4.5

  Disk:   Seagate Barracuda ATA II (ST320420A; 20 GB)

  Chips:  478 pin Celeron; 2.1 GHz
  512 MB DDR DIMM (2 ea.)
  SiS645DX  Northbridge _or_ SiS962(L) Southbridge
The manual indicates that the motherboard could have either a
Northbridge or Southbridge chipset, but I don't know an easy
way to tell which one this board has.  Suggestions?
Anyway, assuming that it's the latter, here's a note that
seems relevant, if not real encouraging:
  http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/160/2002/11/0/10219234/

  the controller is technically unsupported

The note does NOT say whether I can simply plug in a PCI-based
controller card (which seems like the obvious workaround).  Is
this likely to work?

RE: DSL router when what I need is a bridge; ARP problem?

2003-05-29 Thread Vince Hoffman
SNIP
  dsl line --- Cisco 678 -ed0- freebsd -de0- local host
I naively picked up a Cisco 678 thinking it would do the trick.
However, even with CBOS 2.4.7 installed, it won't route out the
ethernet port -- only out the wan port.  e.g., if the 
 routing tables
in the cisco look like this:
 cbos#show route
   ip   mask   gateway  type  interface
 0.0.0.00.0.0.0a.b.c.d  DSAR  wan0-0
 router-ip255.255.255.252  freebsd-ip LAR   eth0
 local-lan-ip 255.255.255.248  freebsd-ip SAR   eth0


I'm no networking expert so hopefull if I say anything too silly then 
someone will correct me.

If i've understood you correctly you want to join two seperate physical
network segments on the same subnet using the freebsd box. 
Since the join is the Freebsd box then getting that to bridge the two
nics should work (assigning and IP to one if needed.)
Otherwise you'll need some more routes and to make things more complex, 
 a working example that I have in use (wanted to firewall a class c but
was supplied with a managed router as .1 and didnt want to use bridging.)
The router and firewalls routerside nic have a .252 netmask (subnet of
.1 and .2) the router (.1) has a static route of x.y.z.0/24 via .2 
(firewalls external nic) the firewall has .1 as 
its default route. rest of class c has firewalls other nic (.194 for 
no good reason) as default route.

Hope this helps
Vince

 
The router can ping anything on the local lan, sending its 
 request and
receiving its reply via the freebsd box; but if anything 

unless the freebsd box is bridging already not sure why that works.

Re: Installing on a IBM PC320 Server

2003-05-29 Thread Chris
David,

check out this page:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html
Before you install and configure FreeBSD on your system, there is an 
important subject that you should be aware of, especially if you have 
multiple hard drives.

In a PC running a BIOS-dependent operating system such as MS-DOS or 
Microsoft Windows, the BIOS is able to abstract the normal disk drive 
order, and the operating system goes along with the change. This allows the 
user to boot from a disk drive other than the so-called ``primary master''.

A user who is accustomed to taking advantage of these features may become 
surprised when the results with FreeBSD are not as expected. FreeBSD does 
not use the BIOS, and does not know the ``logical BIOS drive mapping''. 
This can lead to very perplexing situations, especially when drives are 
physically identical in geometry, and have also been made as data clones of 
one another.

When using FreeBSD, always restore the BIOS to natural drive numbering 
before installing FreeBSD, and then leave it that way. If you need to 
switch drives around, then do so, but do it the hard way, and open the case 
and move the jumpers and cables.



hope this helps,
Chris

Can I possibly blame the controller (it's a Tekram DC-390U2W)? Wouldn't it be strange, 
since it's always the same HD
(out of 4) that shows this problem?

Any diagnostic tool I can use?

 bye  Thanks
av.

FW: closed stream message when attempting portupgrade

2003-05-29 Thread Schroeder, Aaron


Hello,

I originally sent this to ports, but I think questions is the proper group.


This is probably a trivial fix on my end, but I have never run into this
before. When I am trying to do a portupgrade -ra, or a pkgdb -F, I get a
closed stream message and then the portupgrade kicks me back to the
command prompt. Here is my system info:

FreeBSD diabloii.qg.com 5.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #1: Mon May 15
13:55:57 CDT 2023 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DIABLOII
alpha

Here is the output of the portupgrade/pkgdb commands:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# portupgrade -ra
closed stream
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# pkgdb -F
closed stream
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#

I have recently cvsup-ed (last couple days), but this has been a problem for
me for a few weeks now. If anyone has any insight on this issue, help would
be much appreciated.

Thanks,

AJ Schroeder
