Help! Is this a virus or a rougue? Qmail is flooding
Hi good fbsd peoples, I have suddenly been confronted with what looks a lot like a virus. Internet connections were VERY slow to stopped. ps-ax showed heaps of ... 57760:00.02 qmail-remote hotmail.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5777 0:00.03 qmail-remote ausstar.com.au [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc etc. I use courier imap qmail and squirrelmail. What is this? Where else should I look? I have no experience with security hassles on fbsd (if that is what this is) Please help Many Thanks Keith http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

> To answer my own question, looks as if 7000, 7002, 500. Or just 500? Well if you can, try with port 500 and see if it works. BTW I guess you shouldn't use AH encryption since it's putting the host IP address in the packet and it's passing through a router so on the other side it will deny the packet.

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 17, Issue 14
I personally love using LyX, in association with teTeX. LyX is basically a gui frontend for teTeX, and a very good one at that! It has improved a lot over the past couple of years since I started using it. I have written out a full masters dissertation, and many other documents using LyX. It takes away some of the very tedious tasks that you need to do in teTeX, but it doesn't exclude you from doing the tedious tasks manually, if you really prefer it that way. You can work in ERT mode and add any low level teTeX code you like. LyX makes it easy to render lyx documents into different formats, PDF, PS, tex, txt, HTML etc, and view them. Setting up indexing and crossreferencing and such things is simple, and easy to keep track of, due to a very simple design. LyX itself is a fairly small program (just over 5MB), so it is worth the download, especially if you are going to install teTeX (60MB) anyway. LyX is also very well documented, very informative, as well as entertaining :) If you install LyX from ports, it will install teTeX as part of the install process. Enjoy :) > I want to get to learn the world of TeX. > I know I have to read some books about it, but I'm a little confused > about which port(s) I need to install. > > TUG (TeX User Group) speaks of teTeX, but in the ports is also a TeX > > I guess I have to install teTeX.

Help! Is this an attack or a virus? Qmail on FBSD is flooding
Hi good people. I am not the cluiest here.

Is it possible FBSD has a virus or is it a suddenly rougue/corrupted qmail. Wher else can I look to track this down. I have ipfilter/ipmon/ipnat on it too.

Disable that user's account and set your firewall and your mail server's access database to block any IP's and hostnames that the activity seems to be coming from and see if the box returns to normal. If multiple accounts are being used it's possible the box itself has been rooted rather than the individual accounts being cracked.

You're completely free to do that. So long as you preserve the copyright on the original FreeBSD files, and the other hardly more onerous duties laid on you by the terms of http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html Note however that various parts are licensed under other terms, such as the GPL, which impose more stringent requirements. There's nothing however that prevents your branching the code to make your own distribution. > This would be non-commercial but is it possible to do a commercial > version as well? Even for commercial purposes. Nokia's IPSO operating system which they use in some of their network appliances is either a branch from FreeBSD 2.x, or a derivative of NetBSD -- it's not clear to me which, as various web and usenet articles make competing claims. Unfortunately Nokia's own site http://www.nokia.com/cda1?id=162 doesn't see fit to acknowledge the provenance of the technology they are using. However, the point remains that whichever of the *BSD's they started with, branching their own OS for commercial purposes is perfectly legal and above board.

Do you mean the '/var/run' directory?That is put there on initial install I am sure.You should already have one if you have installed FreeBSD, at least any recent version. Programs write their own PID files, almost all of them in /var/run, though there is nothing forcing them to do so. A program could either not do it or put it anywhere they have write access. So, whoever writes/maintains the program puts in code to save the PID to a file. The code is either within the program or some monkey business done in the startup script.Most programs that write PID files also have some sort of config file that is read upon startup and the location of the PID file, amongst other things is usually specified in that config file with the default most often being /var/run/progname.pid. Doesn't that about tell all you need to know on this? The rest is in the code for each specific program. jerry > > -- > > Bugs come in through open Windows. > > > Ronny Hippler || Spartanburg SC > http://www.vr5.dyndns.org:8008/ || ftp://ftp.vr5.dyndns.org:2112/ > For PGP key email with "PGPKey" in the subject > ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Dialin problem
Hi, if anyone has done dial-in service before i am having is that my modem does pick up the phone when i dial in, and the two modems establish a connection, but the OS does not do anything there is no login prompt, i was able to send data directly to the port and see it on the other computer with command: echo "Hello" > /dec/cuaa0, Also i read that if getty completes the open port process then it changes from ?? in the PS screen to something it does not, so i am assuming that getty doesn't realize that the connection has been established, any ideas? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Objective-C is the other OOP variant of C, and reportedly much easier to program in. It's still in heavy use in the Mac World, being one of the two main languages for Cocoa Programming, but isn't much used in the rest of the world, apart from maybe GNUStep (Objective-C was the primary language used in NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP software.)

Adaptec 2400A update
To summarize previous posts: my Adaptec 2400A RAID card, with 2 Maxtor 160GB drives (model 6Y160P0) in a RAID-1, corrupts data and produces kernel panics under heavy activity. This is under 4.8 (plain vanilla install), ECS L7VTA motherboard (KT400), 512MB RAM, one vr NIC (on motherboard), 1 dc NIC (PCI), 1 Matrox Millennium II PCI video card. The 2400A is supported by the asr driver that is built into the GENERIC kernel. After a lot of testing I have discovered some interesting things but I am not any closer to a solution. - I put an old spare drive on the motherboard's IDE bus, did a basic install and thrashed the heck out of it to rule out problems with CPU, RAM, and other non-RAID components. This worked great. The system will be nice and fast when I get it stable! :) - I then put the same spare on the RAID card -- not as part of any array, but as "just a disk." I reinstalled 4.8 and thrashed it good -- cvsupping new source, buildworld, etc. No problems. (The RAID array was not in the system at all.) - Then I separately tested each of the Maxtor 160s as "just a disk" on the 2400A, first clobbering the RAID data. Each disk got a fresh 4.8 install and the same build/install world/kernel routine, plus some other big file operations that caused problems for the array -- like deleting /usr/obj/*. No problems! - I have also done every imaginable type of cable swap and wiggle. I am as sure as I can be that there are no gross hardware faults in this system. I am currently re-running Maxtor's utilities on the 160's but I don't expect to find any problems. Assuming the disks check out as good again I will have ruled out everything except some kind of bug or subtle hardware defect that ONLY effects RAID-1 -- and perhaps only with my hardware combination, as I know many others use this card with great success. Oh, I haven't tested RAID-0. I don't intend to use it, but I will make a striped array and see how it goes just for fun. I will also try a Linux or Windows install too, to try and determine if this is a FreeBSD-specific problem. Hmm, guess I don't have any questions for the list, but hopefully this post will show future Googlers with misbehaving 2400A's that they are not crazy.

vinum and newfs
What impact do disk block and fragment sizes have on a vinum volume? I've been benchmarking an array of three drives in striped and raid5 configurations with various stripe sizes.

This doesn't make sense to me as those are the defaults for newfs if they are not specified, but looking at the disklabel after a newfs, it shows 8192/1024.

Obviously 16384/2048 is not the default in this case, in spite of the newfs man pages. In a classical file system I believe these numbers are taken from the disklabel and it is realy the disklabel that supplies these defaults for the partitions. For vinum the individual volumes do not have a corresponding disklabel partition. -- All guess work so don't take it too seriously.

building a routing machine
Hi folks, I'm an active user of FreeBSD for quite some time now, and I'm not a full newbie anymore, except for this part: I now have two PC's running, one is intended to be a webserver and the other is my desktop-PC. I'm connected to the internet using a city-wide network the university here offers. So I can use DHCP and TCP to connect one PC to the net. my webserver has two LAN-cards, my desktop has one. My question is: how do I connect these two with eachother so that both PC's can reach internet? I've enabled routed on both systems, (-s on the webserver, -q on the desktop) but that doesn't seem to be enough. I've read something about routing and gateways in the handbook, but I didn't quite get it. So can anyone help me out? Please CC me, I'm not (anymore) a user on this list.

You'd only use routing if each PC had a public IP address, and one address was routed (upstream from your pair of machines) to the other. If you have only one IP address, that address needs to be on the server with two NICs, and you need to set up a *private* network for the communication between your two machines. You'll sort of turn your web server into a firewall, rather than a router. To connect to the Internet in general from your desktop, you'll probably want to run natd. The man page for natd should be your starting point. -- Paul Chvostek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> it.canadahttp://www.it.ca/ Free PHP web hosting!http://www.it.ca/web/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Strange Printing Problems
Hi, I've got a small network with a few Windows XP machines. I'm running into a problem where I can can print but others cannot. For me, everything works great and as expected. However, for the others, they seem to have intermittent problems where Samba complains with multiple lines such as the following: Jul 17 22:02:37 chung smbd[472]: [2003/07/17 22:02:37, 0] rpc_client/cli_spoolss_notify.c:spoolss_connect_to_client(91) Jul 17 22:02:37 chung smbd[472]: connect_to_client: unable to connect to SMB server on machine ZEUS.

You should probably be asking why 'make world' failed in the first place, because until you address that it's not likely to proceed all the way through. Does the build always fail at the same place?
