Yes, it could, if that IP address is your next upstream hop.  That's
moving from a Cisco device to a Dell, BTW, not sure it's really an
upgrade...

Yes. Especially if they swapped out IP's on a router or replaced a nic.

The first thing you need to understand is what a firewall does, and
what you're protecting.  If you don't understand both of those, you
need to study up on it -- there is no easy way around that for
protecting a public Internet host from a Denial of Service attack.

My recommendations for materials in this area are Cheswick, Bellovin
(and Rubin, in the latest edition), "Firewalls and Internet Security:
Repelling the Wily Hacker", and Zwicky, Cooper, and Chapman, "Building

It is optical, I don't recall any "force feedback".  Never heard of that
in a mouse.  It was only $20.  Nope, don't see anything about force
feedback.

I will try an OHCI controller; need to get one anyhow to really use the

You seem to be correct:

$ ldd /bin/bash
ldd: /bin/bash: not a dynamic executable

I took no special pains - just built the port.

I take *SERIOUS* exception to the terms "heretical, insulting
suggestion".
I am neither a heretic, nor do I insult anyone, especially someone I

My only intention was to make fun of myself for forgetting about the

I don't use bash, but the bash2 port Makefile looks like it builds a

Once upon a time, libraries were constructed so that only the modules
you were actually using got included, even static ones.  Or so I was given
to understand...  Since libc is 1.2Meg, there still seems to be a little
bit of that going on, but sheesh!

Sticking with /bin/sh is a good idea.  

What I have done is build a static version of bash and put it /bin

I changed root's shell to /bin/bash and run just fine.

Has anyone noticed what a pain it is to build bash statically and install
it in /bin?

As others explained these commands and others are statically linked so that
they do not depend on libraries that live in /usr. Since these are very
basic commands, it's a bad idea to have them depend on a library that might
not be available if only the / filesystem is mounted. 

Since / usually just contains /root, /bin, /sbin and a couple of others, 
statically linked programs in /bin and /sbin are always available, even 
in single user mode. Booting into single user only mounts /bin, which is why
some people on the list have advised sticking with /bin/sh when asked about
changing root's login shell.

Hope this helps.

Have you read any of the documents at http://www.freebsd.org? Perhaps the
handbook, or some of the links listed on the "For Newbies" page would prove
useful. If course, if you really want to research FreeBSD: install it and
use it for a while.

I've just installed FreeBSD 4.8 Release from the cd's.  There's a 4 port
USB card plugged in, with a Logitech USB mouse, a USB Serial port and
a Belkin USB/IDE case with a Maxtor 30G IDE drive in it.  This is what
usbdevs reports:

#  usbdevs -v
Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x), Intel(0x), rev 1.00
 port 1 powered
 port 2 powered

Even if the things don't configure (and there's damn little in the default
config file), this should still tell me what's out there...  Clearly
something's not right...

You need web server software.
Probably Apace will be it although I think there are some smaller
leaner web servers around.   Be patient and study a lot.  It takes
quite a bit to get used to installing and especially configuring
the Apache web server, but it works well when you get it right.
Check the ports for it -  /usr/ports/www/apachexxx .

RE: hosting a website

[Kevin . Greenidge1]

apache is what you want to use for a webserver and depending on what other
services you would like to run such as Mysql, SSL, etc. then you could
install those programs from the ports tree as well.

Hit scroll-lock, then up/down/pgup/pgdwn/home/end.  Hit scroll-lock to
get back to normal.  You can use the vidcontrol -h command to change

Press 'Scroll Lock', then you can use Page Up, Page Down etc.  When
you're done, hit 'Scroll Lock' again to go back to normal.

Generally hitting Scroll Lock and then PageUp works for me.
The amount you can see depends on the amount of space reserved
for it that is configured.   I don't remember the parameter or
place right off hand.

The mailer.conf method is preferred as it doesn't wipe itself out when
you upgrade your system with buildworld/installworld.

Make sure there is a floppy disk in the drive before running the

Re: System very slow to boot

In addition to what others have said, note you can usually press
'ctrl-c' if the machine looks like it's taking a long time to load one
of the rc scripts when you boot and that usually stops the execution of
the current script.

Generally though this does sound like a problem with DNS as other(s)
have mentioned.  I had a similar problem recently when my bandwidth
provider went down for a day or two (ick) and sshd was taking a _long_
time to respond because it was trying to run a lookup on the inbound IP
address when none of my resolving dns servers were available.

First if you want to test things out, try disabling everything in
/etc/rc.conf and re-enable them one by one until you find out what's
causing the hang (similar with /usr/local/etc/rc.d scripts).

If it does turn out to be sshd (suspect it may be)...

Ensure your hostname is set correctly and fire up named on boot.  The
default named setup is pretty safe on freebsd and simply acts as a
caching dns resolver.  Then just make sure you have:

nameserver 127.0.0.1

in /etc/resolv.conf.

I really don't want sendmail anyway so I will definitly try your suggestion.
I have a dialup account and my freebsd box gets it's ip/dns info via dhcp
from the router. It looks like I'll have to setup dns locally then so it
works whether I'm connected online or not and see if that works.

On the chance that you really don't want sendmail (if only to run a 
different MTA such as exim, postfix or qmail), you have to set two 
values in rc.conf:

sendmail_enable="NO"
mta_start_script=""

It's the latter one that tripped me up. But anyway, you do need 
functional DNS.

I just use pkg_version -vL=, which doesn't use the index, but can get
slow if you have hundreds of ports installed.

Double-check that you only have one copy of these ports installed. I've
seen this problem before, only to discover multiple copies of the same
port were installed. Some 'pkgdb -F' might be in order here ..

Also, I'd recommend 'make index' from /usr/ports instead of using
'portsdb -U'. Much more reliable!

However, it seems that INDEX builds are failing right now anyway. Kris
has been sending out emails to Ports all day with failure reports.

Are you sure?

Lets see (pseudocode):
 target[100]="abcde";
 source="123456";
 strncat(target, source, 5);

What's the result (just by looking at the man-page):
 - abcde12345
 - abcde12345\0
 - abcde1234\0

Now, write a program which verifies your assumption.

It seems that the ports I have installed on my system are newer than the

And the list goes on.  I've updated my ports tree using cvsup and it
finishes successfully.  I've also run portsdb -uU to update the indexes
however the problem persists.

I'm stumped and don't know what else to check.  Any ideas?  I'm running

Do a "file /bin/rm" for example. They are linked static, so they don't

Just try it for yourself. A simple hello world program:

They are statically-linked, which means that each binary includes libc.
The next release of 5.x will allow you to build /bin and /sbin

Intel/Dialogic DX40 and voicemail solutions...?

[Chuck Swiger]

Hi, all--

I have a chance to upgrade a voicemail system using a 4-port Dialogic ISA card-- 
specific revision seems to be DX42/D-- from DOS-based software called 
SmoothOperator running on a P-90 or so, the combination of which Lucent 
rebranded as "Octel 50".  [Lucent is now Avaya, and Intel owns Dialogic.]

One choice is to run an NT 4 system and pay $200 or so for one of a variety of 
voicemail products.  Is there a voicemail solution available for FreeBSD?

A quick search for "dialogic" on the website and on the supported hardware list 
returned nothing, prompting me to ask here.  If this Dialogic board is not 
supported, is there anything else in terms of TAPI hardware which would work?

Thoughts on voicemail software for FreeBSD?
It's being connected to a Lucent Definity PBX.
Thanks,
--
-Chuck

System very slow to boot

[Kevin . Greenidge1]

1) Since reloading my system I find that it is very slow to boot. It looks
like it hangs while trying the load the sendmail and sendmail-client
daemons. It eventually boots after 20 minutes or so. I tried disabling
sendmail but it still boots very slow. The initial bootup right after
install was fine but after a few minutes and a restart it would never boot
the same again. The only thing I could think of is that it might be looking
for a dns server which I do not have. any suggestions? 

2) I don't know if this is related to the above issue or not but when I try
to log into ssh the client on two separate machines would timeout waiting
for a connection to the server unless I change the server response timeout
on the client to 120 seconds then and only then would the client (Winscp,
Putty) connect. 

Sorry about all the lame questions but I've been out of touch for a while
and just trying to get my feet wet again. 

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

All of a sudden, I can't login, even as root. I tried to set the

Then, thinking that the machine was acting up, I rebooted. Now I am in

any howto-s on minimal jail installs with ro-nullfs-mounted/bin,/usr?

[Hari Bhaskaran]

Hi,

I need to create a minimal jail install with as much data shared
with the host as possible. So I believe I can read-only (null-fs)
mount /bin and /usr into paths that fall in the jail's fs-space.
I have tried /usr already (works fine - so long as I use /home
for home directories instead of /usr/home). Since the jails are
not meant for an ISP like setup, it would be acceptable for me
to have non-writeable /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local etc. I can use
a nonstandard PREFIX for all custom packages I install inside
the jail. Are there any howto's on this kind of setup?

For example, most of the steps in "make installworld DESTDIR=?"
looks redundant since I would be clearing the /usr and mounting
from host later on. 

Any help is appreciated. BTW, I am on 4.8

Thanks

You might find you get better diagnostics by asking exim directly what
it's up to. Use "exim -bt" and type email addresses at the prompt. It'll
show you the routing decisions it makes to deliver a message to that
address.

The exim user mailing list is very good; if you stay stuck, drop me a

> in the freebsd online handbook i found this command:

Don't set a password on the real root account or log in to it.   
For some little measure of safety, leave it starred '*' out.

Just make your own root account if it is your machine and you
will have the ability to have a root account.Use 'vipw' to
edit the passwd file - it also updates master.passwd when you
exit and write changes.

Copy the entry for toor and replace the username and the
information fields and the home directory and shell fields.
Then set a password for this account and create the home directory 
and make sure the shell is in /etc/shells.

The gory details in an example:

Lets say your name is Clyde.
 - Make yourself root - 
   either su, or go to single user and mount everything or whatever.
 - use vipw to edit the passwd file.   Make a copy of the toor entry
   (Don't modify toor itself for reasons of cleanness and to avoid
   possible problems (unlikely nowdays, but) during upgrades. 
   NOTE:   Fields in the passwd file are separated with a colon (:).
 - then edit the _copy_ to change the username field from toor to Rclyde   
 - Leave the uid and gid fields the same.  
 - Modify the field that says something like 'Bourne-again Superuser'
   to say something like 'Clyde root account' (just for information)
 - modify the home(login) directory field that says /root to be /root/Rclyde
 - add /usr/local/bin/bash or whatever shell you want after the last (:)
   NOTE:   Do not add another colon (:) after the shell field
 - write changes and exit the editor  ':wq'
 - set a password for Rclyde  'passwd Rclyde'  - make sure you include the 
   username Rclyde because otherwise you will set the real root's password.
 - Create the home directory for Rclyde'mkdir /root/Rclyde'
 - use some editor, probably vi to edit /etc/shells and make sure
   that /usr/local/bin/bash  is listed.

Now you should be able to log in as Rclyde with a root ability account 
and have bash as your shell and not skrew up root's shell which should
stay /bin/sh for those times it is needed, as in when you are cleaning 
up some mess that can only be done in single user with none of the other
filesystems mounted.   You can also set up a nice convenient environment 
with .login, .bashrc, .cshrc, etc depending on shell and what you like, 
that suits you and doesn't make the real root requite stuff that might 
not be available when you are cleaning up messes in single user.

NOTE:   I don't use bash and haven't installed it, so if it installs 
somewhere other than /usr/local/bin/bash, make sure you use 
that instead of what I put in this example.

Re: Question on CVS Branches

[Simon Barner]

> Is RELENG_4 to be considered stable? I.e. can i use it for production?

Well, that depends. At the moment, -stable has (or had) some stability problems
since some enhancements for huge memory systems (> 4gb) where merged
from -current).

I think the best for production system is the latest security branch,
i.e. RELENG_4_8 which is the latest release (4.8-RELEASE) + all the
security fixes that have been released so far. -stable aka. RELENG_4
contains those fixes + other bug fixes + feature enhancements, that
might cause problems once in a while.

The FreeBSD 5.x releases were made in order to provide a solid test
basis for the very latest branch of FreeBSD. Although it runs very
stable for a lot of people, more conservative users that do not need any
of the new features in FreeBSD 5.x are recommended stay with FreeBSD 4.x
at the present.

Offhand, these look like problems with the floppies.
Try other disks, and make sure you don't download the images in "text"
mode.  

Also, you might want to stick with FreeBSD 4.x unless you have a
specific reason for running 5.x; see

-STABLE  = 4.x
-CURRENT = 5.x
-RELEASE = Snapshot of STABLE/CURRENT

RELENG_4 is the development branch of -STABLE & it can be broken from
time to time (rarely, but still).. so you wouldn't want to use that for
production use.

For production.. it's best to use a -RELEASE from the -STABLE branch.
You'd want RELENG_4_8 - which is 4.8-RELEASE + bug/security fixes.

Hopefully that makes some kinda sense. :D

RELENG_4 is the development branch for FreeBSD-STABLE. RELENG_4_7 and
RELENG_4_8 are the security fix branches for those releases.  If you want
to track the most current code, use RELENG_4.  If you just want to ensure
your system is updated with the latest security patches for your release
use RELENG_4_7, or RELENG_4_8 if you want to upgrade.

Also i am still a bit unsure, what CURRENT, RELEASE and STABLE mean.
From other OS's, i know that "Release" means "for production use".
But 5.x-RELEASE is said to be not for production.
Is STABLE more stable than RELEASE?

Dependent on version and/or sshd_config you may need an empty
directory belonging to root:
  /var/empty
and a pseudo user:
  sshd:*:22:22::0:0:Secure Shell Daemon:/var/empty:/sbin/nologin

Some how I was missing this user on one machine and found 
sshd would exit rather promptly until I installed this user.

Of course you might have an entirely different problem ;)

Yes.  As luck would have it I wrote a guide to installing it on FreeBSD
as well.  You can read the article here:

http://www.munk.nu/webcp/

The article covers installing exim with support for pwcheck on freebsd.
Whilst pwcheck is now deprecated and it still works, it should still
help you out.

Remember to install the exim documentation as well - whilst quite terse,
the documentation is very comprehensive.  As the other poster mentions
check for existing configurations as well and also check the exim-users
list for some ideas - try searching here:

Re: exim configurations?

[Rob]

I'm using exim with virtual domains & maildirs and without smarthost, so
my config mightn't be useful to you.

Look at http://www.exim.org/ftp/exim3/config.samples.tar.gz or
http://www.exim.org/ftp/exim4/config.samples.tar.gz for some hints - you
can find summaries in FAQ.txt.gz from the same directory.

However, the error you're getting almost sounds like a problem with the
network rather than the MTA

Unlike Solaris, FreeBSD generally operates by supplying patches to the
system source code.  Colin Percival has a binary patch system under
development, but it's not an official FreeBSD thing yet -- see
http://www.daemonology.org/ for details.

The standard way to keep a system up to date is to maintain an up to
date copy of the system sources -- either which ever one of the
release branches you've chosen, or 4-STABLE or 5-CURRENT -- and
compile and install from there.

For the release branches you can achieve that by starting with the
sources as distributed on the CD Roms, and applying the patches as
shown in any security advisories -- any changes to a release branche
will be accompanied by an advisory notice, which is almost always a
security advisory.  Technically it may be possible for a really
crucial but not security related patch to be applied to a release
branch, but it doesn't seem to happen much in practice.  The
non-release branches (4-STABLE, 5-CURRENT) are under continuous
development, so there's not going to be any specific points at which
everyone will update, other than when large chunks of particularly
awaited new functionality or big bugfixes go into the tree.  Or when
(like now) a new release is in the offing.  Most private users
tracking STABLE or CURRENT will just update every week or month or so,
or when they get around to it.

Whatever the release branch you've chosen, and particularly if you're
running 4-STABLE of 5-CURRENT, it's much more convenient to use
cvsup(1) to keep your sources up to date, rather than by applying
patches.  There are a few other mechanisms around -- see Appendix A of
the handbook --

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html

but cvsup(1) is what the vast majority of the users use.

If you're using FreeBSD in a commercial setting, then you should
certainly be tracking one of the release branches and be implementing
a testing regime on a spare server before pushing out updates to your
production servers.  Whilst the FreeBSD project generally does
extremely well at keeping 4-STABLE and the RELEASE branches stable,
they do rely on bug reports from users and developers rather than
having the sort of comprehensive QC test cycles that Sun performs.

The test box function can be combined quite neatly with being a build
server -- you can either make your own releases and cut them to CD-ROM
for installation on your production machines, or just NFS mount the
/usr/obj and /usr/src trees from the build box in order to install the
upgrade.  With practice you can get an installkernel - reboot to
single user - installworld - mergemaster - reboot cycle down to under
15mins downtime, which is a lot quicker than it takes to install some
Solaris patches.

One other major difference between Solaris patches and FreeBSD updates
is that FreeBSD doesn't offer you a specific mechanism to back out any
changes you make.  Always make sure you have good backups from
immediately before you start an upgrade cycle.

Cheers,

Matthew

exim configurations?

[William O'Higgins]

Is anyone using exim as their MTA?  I am attempting to migrate to
FreeBSD, but this is my stumbling block.  exim works, but it will not
send mail out of the machine, and the log has "Operation timed out"
messages for every queue run on every message until they get returned as
undeliverable.

Has anyone got a sample FreeBSD exim config I can look at, perhaps one
that uses a smarthost (but that's not strictly necessary)?  Thanks.

Yes -- however /etc/sysctl.conf is still too late compared to what the
OP was asking for.

You can modify some kernel tunables very early in the boot process by
setting variables in the loader.  According to loader(8) the tunables
that are available are:

kern.maxusers
kern.ipc.nmbclusters
kern.vm.kmem.size
kern.maxswzone
kern.maxbcache
machdep.pccard.pcic_irq
net.inet.tcp.tcbhashsize

(This is on 4.9-PRERELEASE, other OS versions may differ)

These are normally set using compiled-in values derived from settings
like MAXUSERS, NMBCLUSTERS, TCBHASHSIZE in the kernel config.  These
values have to be set early because they define the size of various
critical memory structures within the kernel that can't be modified
while the system is running.

You can set these values by editing /boot/loader.conf -- eg, add:

   kern.maxusers="32"

to that file.  The operation of loader.conf deliberately parallels the
way that /etc/rc.conf works.  See /boot/defaults/loader.conf for
default settings for the available variables.

Any other modifications to sysctl settings can and should be made via
/etc/sysctl.conf

Cheers,

Matthew

Check out the file README.TXT which is at the location you mention above.
Then 'cd releases' and check out that README.TXT file, then cd for example
to '/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.1-RELEASE' and fetch the file INSTALL.TXT

ftp://ftp5.us.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.1-RELEASE/INSTALL.TXT

There is no word, excel, photoshop, access, power point and frontpage.
There is Abiword, gnumeric, gimp, mysql. Or use openoffice to get all

Yes, you can use more than one os on your hardware. See above.

configuring internal ZIP drive under FBSD-5.1-RELEASE

[carloma]

Hello ! 

I upgraded to FBSD-5.1-Release and built a new kernel including, what I think,
all the necessary drivers for my internal IOMEGA ZIP 250. Helas, there is
no device node in /dev for the device, and also is the device not detected
during the boot process.
I'd be very grateful for any hints to solve this obstacle.

Re: Is CIFS available already on FreeBSD?

[Guy Van Sanden]

Hello Anand

The protocol you are inquiring about is called SMB/CIFS.
Server Message Block/Common Internet File System.

The name in itself is very misleading, CIFS is not an Internet FS in any
way, but part of M$ file/print sharing implementation.

To answer your question, Samba is a fully functional SMB/CIFS server and
client.  
The client is provided as utilities like smbclient, smbmount.
On some systems you even get the option to use smbfs in fstab.

Kind regards

Guy

You can configure sysctl options if you create the file /etc/sysctl.conf and
put your changes there. Is this what you're looking for?
That happens in the late stages if the game. init is running the main

Patching procedures

[Guy Van Sanden]

** message didn't make it to the list - sending again **


I'm still relatively new to FreeBSD, and I was wondering what most of
you use as a patching procedure for FreeBSD (not the ports)

Up to now, I have always folowed the instructions in '2) To patch your
present system:'.
Yet somehow this seems like the long way to do it.

Therefor, I'm wondering how most of you keep your systems up to date.

For the moment, I'm only managing my home server (which is still
critical), but I would also like to know how to manage this in a
professional deployment (I used to manage Solaris networks, and we had
these patch-clusters which were rahter nice).

   If normal users can send and receive mail, then your problem may be
the root mail account.
   Qmail refuses to send mail to root: you have to define which normal
user should receive mail directed to root. To do this put the username
in the file $QMAILDIR/alias/.qmail-root, where $QMAILDIR is the base
directory where you installed qmail.
   For more information see:
man qmail
man dot-qmail
