Re: Repositioning /var | /tmp to avoid disk full condition
Hi, # umount /var # mv /var /usr # ln -s /usr/var /var In /etc/fstab remove the line containing /var Regards SSR From: Joseph Maxwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: FreeBSD Users <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Repositioning /var | /tmp to avoid disk full condition Date: Sat, 31 May 2003 11:58:23 -0700 Hello, The 3rd edition of "The Complete FreeBSD" suggest repositioning the /var directory ( and even /tmp) to prevent filling up that partition. I ignored it and did just that today, filled it up. So I attempted the repositioning with the following recommended command steps and results: cd /var tar cf - . | (cd /usr/var; tar xf - ) cd / rm -rf /var ln -s /usr/var /var However the 'rm -rf /var' returned rm: /var: Device busy After trying all known tricks to me to remove /var, I concluded that since it was mounted from the /etc/fstab I should dismount it and remove the directory (link point ?) and create a soft link there as recommended. However, on rebooting boot was aborted, was thrown into single users mode. After some findangling eventually got the system back up as before with the /var directory, except that now it contains only the /var/cron and /var/run directories. The original /var contained /var/account: /var/at: /var/backups: /var/crash: /var/cron: /var/db: /var/games: /var/log: /var/lost+found: /var/mail: /var/msgs: /var/preserve: /var/qmail: /var/run: /var/rwho: /var/smtpd: /var/spool: /var/tmp: /var/webmin: /var/yp: How can I restore the full functioning structural integrity as before, of course the contents of the /usr/var directory was wiped out somwhere along the way, sans log, sans mail, sans everything.

Subject: 4.8-STABLE /dev/null issue
Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2003 00:34:58 -0400 (EDT)
Hello,
This may have been previously discussed, but I have yet to find a solution
yet so looking to find some guidance here.
I have a customer who has 2 servers, one is 4.8-RC and the other is
4.8-STABLE. No problems have been noted on his server with 4.8-RC,
however the one running 4.8-STABLE seems to have some random /dev/null
permission changes and I'm stumped.
He runs a cron script (on both servers) and redirects the output to
/dev/null, and everytime he does it on the 4.8-STABLE the permissions
change from crw-rw-rw- to crw-r--r-- which is rather odd. Anytime I 'echo
blah >/dev/null' just in a regular shell, nothing goes wrong, only when in
cron.
Errors reported in /var/log/maillog are something like this:
Jun 2 21:06:56 diamond sm-msp-queue[97747]: h5316uZO097747: disconnect:
open("/dev/null") failed: Permission denied
Also, cron reports similar:
Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> echo blah >/dev/null
X-Cron-Env:
X-Cron-Env:
X-Cron-Env:
X-Cron-Env:
X-Cron-Env:
cannot create /dev/null: permission denied
I cvsup'd, rebuilt the world, mergemaster'd the system to the latest and
still experience issues. Was there a change between 4.8-RC and 4.8-STABLE
that is causing this that I am just overlooking here?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, as of right now I am banging my head.
Sincerely,
Scott Kupferschmidt

No, you don't do sth. wrong. Onstream did but didn't tell it it's customers before the buy. The produced streamers with an SCSI interface but didn't respect the SCSI streaming access commands, but implement an own command set. You can do some things to get it work: 1) Port the linux driver to FreeBSD 2) Use vmware to run either linux or windows which may grant access 3) Use another streamer 4) Use another backup medium. just like cdr Jens ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

GRUB is good. A very informative article about GRUB can be found here: http://www2.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue85/4622.html If you decide to use GRUB, you'll need a few lines in /boot/grub/menu.lst to load FBSD - the following is what I have: title FreeBSD root (hd0,1,a) kernel /boot/loader boot Obviously, the second line will vary depending on which partition you've installed FBSD.

For a beginner (coming from a windows world) who doesn't know which shell is
better, sorry more adequate, it is easier to have a sample config file, to
start learning how to configure you shell!
Hi, Didier--
The standard shell under FreeBSD is the Bourne shell, or /bin/sh. (*) It's
useful to know if only for the sake of comparison to other shells, since it's
the standard reference.
BASH is closely related to the classic Bourne shell, and is sometimes installed
as /bin/sh on some platforms-- various Linux flavors, mostly. The Korn shell,
/bin/ksh or pdksh, is also compatible with the Bourne shell syntax and added
named procedures, and was heavily used by SysV Unices like Solaris, particularly
in their package installation and system startup scripts. I believe Microsoft
also picked up a slightly(?) broken version of KSH for their POSIX environment
under Windows NT and later.
Finally, I happen to use and recommend the Z Shell (/bin/zsh), which is being
used as the default shell under Darwin and MacOS X; like bash, you can even
install ZSH in place of /bin/sh. ZSH can emulate sh, bash, ksh, and even the
csh/tcsh shells, and thus is one of the most configurable shells available.
As you may have gathered, there are two major groupings of shells, the /bin/sh
family described above, and a second grouping consisting of the C shell
(/bin/csh) and derivatives like /bin/tcsh, which is what FreeBSD comes with as
an alternative to /bin/sh. At one time, /bin/sh was intended for shell scripts
and was poorly suited for interactive use; /bin/csh was created with a lot more
features and was more usable than the classic /bin/sh.
-
(*): FreeBSD now uses something called the "Ash shell" as /bin/sh, which targets
the POSIX shell standard and thus includes a number of interactive features that
people like-- command.com + DOSKEYS? in Didier's frame of reference. These
include command history, interactive filename completion, job control, named
procedures, fancier substitution and env variable handling, etc.
-
Unfortunately, /bin/csh suffered from a misguided attempt to blend the syntax of
the C programming language with the Bourne shell syntax, and is not recommended
for scripting use. (From the vantage of hindsight, "horribly misguided attempt"
might be more accurate. :-) Also, trying to learn both SH and CSH at the same
time is likely to be very confusing due to these differences.

Best would be to set the machine in single user mode, either by booting using 'boot -s' or using 'shutdown now'. Please don't do this if you don't have physical access to console If you're in single user mode, choose a shell you want to use. /bin/sh is a good choice.

That depends on the type of filesystem you're mounting. Only certain fs types support doing that sort of thing, and those are generally derived from OSes with poor or no concept of individual user IDs. Unix/Linux/FreeBSD filesystems (ufs, mfs, ext2, nfs, etc) already incorporate owner/group information built into the filesystem metadata. Eg. see mount_msdos(8) as an example of a filesystem where file ownership can be set wholesale -- the '-u uid' and '-g gid' options do exactly what you want. In general there should be a 'mount_foo(8)' manual page for any filesystem type 'foo' supported by the system, and that page will describe the filesystem specific options. In the case of NFS you can override some uid/gid settings from the NFS *server*: see the descriptions of the -maproot and -mapuser options in exports(5).

FreeBSD + winbindd + PAM
I've been trying for a couple of weeks to get FreeBSD + winbindd + PAM
working, without success. I'm hoping that someone here has bumped into my
problem before and has some advice to give.
My current setup is winbindd from Samba 2.8.8a on both FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE
and 5.1-BETA. I've configured Samba with the following options: syslog,
nocups, utmp, msdfs, quota, recycle, audit, winbind, wbauth. On the
5.1-BETA box, I've also added the WITH_WINBIND_NSS=yes option.
My smb.conf has the following entries:
[global]
workgroup = ICT
netbios name = VARK
security = domain
password server = MADAM EVE
encrypt passwords = yes
winbind separator = .
winbind uid = 1-2
winbind gid = 1-2
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
template shell = /usr/local/bin/ftponly
template homedir = /tmp/raid/%D.%U
I run winbindd, and set a domain admin password using wbinfo -A. With this
I can successfully enumerate the domain's users and groups:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ wbinfo -u | wc -l
675
On the 5.1-BETA box, I've edited nsswitch.conf to include winbindd and can
see winbindd users with pw(8).
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pw usershow ICT.admingah
ICT.admingah:*:10004:10013::0:0:Guy Antony
Halse:/tmp/raid/ICT.admingah:/usr/local/bin/ftponly
I realise this won't work on anything prior to the commitment of the new
nsswitch implementation by Jacques A. Vidrine, so I haven't bothered to try
this on the 4.8-RELEASE box.
So far, so good. Everything works as I want to to, so I moved on to trying
to get PAM authentication working.
The first thing I noticed was that the pam_winbind.so from the port was not
installed (I checked the Makefile for PAM-related options and saw none), so
I manually copied this file into /usr/local/lib/compat and ran ldconfig(8).
I have subsequently tried /usr/lib/compat too, but that shouldn't matter.
I edited {pam.conf,pam.d/ftpd} to create entries for my FTP server, that
looked like:
auth requiredpam_nologin.so no_warn
auth sufficient pam_opie.so no_warn no_fake_prompts
auth requisite pam_opieaccess.so no_warn allow_local
auth sufficient pam_winbind.so debug try_first_pass
auth requiredpam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass
account sufficient pam_winbind.so debug
account requiredpam_unix.so
session requiredpam_permit.so
This is where things start falling apart for me. Authentication always
fails, and I get the following in my logs:
Jun 4 09:07:07 vark ftpd[97485]: connection from omniscient (146.231.120.1)
Jun 4 09:07:15 vark pam_winbind[97485]: Could not retrive user's password
Jun 4 09:07:15 vark kernel: Jun 4 09:07:15 vark pam_winbind[97485]: Could not
retrive user's password
Jun 4 09:07:15 vark ftpd[97485]: in _openpam_check_error_code():
pam_sm_authenticate(): unexpected return value 20
Jun 4 09:07:15 vark kernel: Jun 4 09:07:15 vark ftpd[97485]: in _openpam_check
_error_code(): pam_sm_authenticate(): unexpected return value 20
Jun 4 09:07:15 vark ftpd[97485]: FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM omniscient
Jun 4 09:07:15 vark kernel: Jun 4 09:07:15 vark ftpd[97485]: FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM
omniscient
Jun 4 09:07:15 vark ftpd[97485]: FTP LOGIN FAILED FROM omniscient, ICT.admingah
This problem isn't just restricted to FTP. If I try and set up PAM for
the login service, I get the same _openpam_check_error_code() error.
I've tried reducing my PAM config so that it was completely minimal,
consisting of only required pam_winbind.so lines, but this doesn't appear to
make a difference.
Using winbindd -i -d3, I've watched for connections to winbindd while PAM
authentication is happening, and no connections are ever logged by it.
(They are when nsswitch is in use, and when I use wbinfo).
I've also tried recompiling the Samba suite with no optimizations (and
various stages of optimizations) as suggested by the pkg-message. None of
this seems to make any difference to my problem whatsoever.
Anyone have any ideas as to how I can get this to work?

The first option applies to sendmail as a client, the others to a server. Example: O AuthOptions=p,y would disallow ANONYMOUS as AUTH mechanism and would allow PLAIN and LOGIN only if a security layer (e.g., provided by STARTTLS) is already active.

What do you mean, "The dog ate it?" If you have not yet done so, review the MYWS! site. Read it with the following in mind... "How are these WORDS affecting me? What are these words trying to do?" In other words, try to see into MY mind as I try to get inside my customer's MINDSET. You'll learn a lot more from the remaining four days that we have left together, if you do this. http://proven.sitesell.com/myws/ - Today we work on the foundation for a successful e-business (any commercial venture, to be precise). Surprised? Are you thinking to yourself?... "Where's the keyboard action?" or... "What about formatting?" or... "No headline creation?" Well, just like most things in life, you can't skip to the front of the line, without some unpleasant consequences. Great sales copy is no different. Pro Netwriters recognize this and follow a methodical approach in their work. They know that each action determines the strength of the one before and after it. Every word-headline-sentence-paragraph has a persuasive role to play. And when each one is in sync, the whole sales package becomes seamless,focused... Powerfully persuasive. That's why you still need your shovel. A firm foundation is critical for whatever actions you take from now on. So let's go back to ground level. -- Your business, whether it is... o big or small, o pioneer or mature, o high-tech or labor-intensive, o top-end or bargain-basement, ... depends on the perceived value of your product (or service) by your customers. If they do not see a benefit or "what's in it for them," then their relationship with you will go no further. Your prospective customers will look elsewhere. And your competitors are always willing and waiting to greet them. -- How do you prevent this? *Know your target or ideal customer.* He or she represents the majority of people who would be specifically interested in your product or service. No tire-kickers... no curious cruisers... ... just prospects with a specific interest in your specific business. You have to understand their thoughts and feelings, figure out their personality type, sense what makes them tick... Basically, you have to get inside their heads. Once you know your customers, you can anticipate their wants, appeal to the right emotions and show them how your product/service will benefit them. We both know what happens then. Value always outweighs financial cost in a shopper's mind. You make the sale! And a satisfied customer is a lifetime customer. -- On the Net, you don't have the luxury of face-to-face contact or a slow pace to get to know your customers. That's why it's critical to develop a thumbnail sketch of your target or "ideal" customer before you begin to write any sales copy on your Web site. Remember your words are like a virtual salesperson, behind the counter or stationed in the aisle. Your sales copy has to make your "ideal customer" feel that you are talking to her, one-on-one, welcoming her, providing attentive service and fulfilling her wants. You cannot write successfully unless you know her mindset. -SIDEBAR- Bingo! This is one of several key points that sets MYWS! apart from other Netwriting books. Actually, the biggest difference about MYWS! is that it is the ONLY copywriting book written from the ground up, purely *FOR* the Net... and written *BY* two authors who have been there, done that and sold the t-shirt on the Net like no one else has. Some books focus only on the mechanics of copywriting -- for example, the type of words to use or the structure of the sales message. Other manuals rely on analyzing examples of someone else's work.

calcru negative time error
Please cc me on all replies as I am not subscribed to the list. The machine in question is running FreeBSD 5.0 Stable. Before anyone tells me to RTFM, I did read the FAQ which pointed me to this item on the freebsd site: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#CALCRU-NEGATIV That web page said to enter this command (which I do not have a good understanding of but did anyway) # sysctl -w kern.timecounter.method=1 which I did, but apparently my 5.0 doesn't like that because it promptly spit back: sysctl: unknown oid 'kern.timecounter.method' 1) Is there another similar command that will do the same thing? 2) Will this stop the error messages? 3) Will this break anything else? Since the command given doesn't work, I'm not really sure what do next. The web page says that if this command doesn't solve the problem that you should "set the NTIMECOUNTER option in your kernel to increasingly large values" but offers absolutely no information on how to proceed to do this. 1) Will this make the errors stop? 2) Will this break anything else? 3) Where are the directions on setting the NTIMECOUNTER option? In all honesty, I have have never tinkered with my kernel. It works and it is stable so I leave it alone. I know that the calcru error messages are pesky, but the machine doesn't seem to be having any problems. It's logs are normal, I ran top and that looks good, it's been up for months with out any apparent issues. I'm rather tempted just to leave it and ignore the errors. I keep hearing my Dad's voice "If it ain't broke." Any help appreciated. -- Thanks, Ms. Jimi Thompson, CISSP, Rev.

How to configure Wireless access with WEP on a laptop AND use DHCPin/etc/rc.conf
I've discovered the wonderful world of wireless Internet access on my FreeBSD laptop (an IBM Thinkpad 380XD running 4.8-STABLE), but I have a problem. Configuring the interface to do both DHCP and initialize with all the WEP parameters seems to be mutually exclusive. I've worked around it by putting in a dummy static IP and netmask and then running dhclient wi0 manually, but I'd prefer to automate things somewhat so that when wi0 comes up (I put the PC Card in) it initializes with the WEP stuff AND does DHCP. So, currently, my configuration line looks like: ifconfig_wi0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid some-ssid wepmode on wepkey some-128-bit-key" And it works fine, provided I run dhclient manually. But I can't just replace the dummies with DHCP (been there, it doesn't work). How should I do this? jmc ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The default FreeBSD installation alreay has sendmail running, and that's usually enough to handle outgoing mail. This means you can just configure your mail-client to use "localhost" as your SMTP server; problems may arise if the receiving SMTP servers have recipient checks on incoming IP-address (eg: the FreeBSD lists' SMTP servers).

Re: / is filling up
The usual solution I use would be (starting in the root directory) "du -kx | sort -n". The x flag prevents crossing partitions when doing the recursive analysis that du is meant to do, while the k flag makes the output in kilobytes. I like this command enough that I have a shortcut to it in my .bashrc called "dk". Check the man page for du for other options if you want. Hope this helps. Zev My / partition is getting pretty full, 92%. Usually the culprit is something I'm not rotating in /var/log, but that's not the case this time.

What the simplest way to do outgoing smtp?
Hi, This is a pretty basic question so I don't mind if the answer is an RTFM style link. ;-) I recently obtained some 3rd party POP3 mailboxes unrelated to my current ISP for email to a new domain... unfortunately my ISP's smtp server doesn't let me send any email addressed as anything other than it's own users, fair enough. I use FreeBSD as a network gateway and IPFW device but I'm a bit of an SMTP novice really. How and what can I configure to act as a sending SMTP server simply on FreeBSD? I don't need to receive email, the 3rd party will do that and host the POP3 collection, but I need to be able to send email locally via something other than my ISP's smtp server. The reason I want to do it this way is that the IP address of my FreeBSD box is DHCP and subject to change, so it isn't suitable as the primary MX record for the new domain.

cd /
du -xh -d 2
will print out the usage stats for everything that is in the /-partition
(mount points are not traversed). If you want to see more that 2 levels,
you can modify the command appropriately.
I usually use
du -xh -d 2 | grep M
and
du -xh -d 2 | grep G
to see directories that take more than 1 mega (giga) byte of space
(although these commands will print directories with an 'M' ('G') in
their names, too.

What have you tried? Usually I use successive runs of du(1) to track down overfilling culprits. Are you familiar with that? CD to your root (/) run du -sk * cd in to any suspiciously large directories and do another du, etc. By the way, I think it is good practice to make a separate file system for things like /var/log /var/spool and others that can fill up suddenly when you aren't looking.

Yes, that's true in general, but if you replace program files and/or libraries needed by processes invoked before this processes WILL FAIL in case of a page-in. Try if you don't believe.

It is advisable to switch into single-user mode when updating the system files, agreed. If you replace program files and shared libraries used by currently running processes, this will cause the corresponding processes to be aborted abnormally in case of page fault requiring a page-in from the program files or shared libraries. Generally not; the system doesn't delete files that are in use even if you overwrite those files: it hangs on to the inode and won't free the space until nobody needs that file. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

RE: dot.bashrc, where is it?
Hi, Thanks, I know this isn't linux! I'm asking because I'm reading "The Complete Freebsd, 4th Edition" book, at page 94 "Changing the default shell for root" there is a comment: "After installation, you may want to change the default shell... Bash... If you have installed instant-workstation, you should copy the file /usr/share/skel/dot.bashrc to root's home directroy and call..." I had a look at the Makefile of the /usr/ports/misc/instant-workstation port. I can't figure out where or how this file (dot.bashrc) could have been installed from this port?! I have the bash2 shell pkg/port installed and in my mind, this is the only port where the dot.bashrc file could be installed, but this isn't obviously the case. For a beginner (coming from a windows world) who doesn't know which shell is better, sorry more adequate, it is easier to have a sample config file, to start learning how to configure you shell!

You have to make your own. bash is optionally installed by the user and is not part of the base system, that's why no dot.bashrc is included with FreeBSD (this isn't Linux). --- Gary Jennejohn / [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
