JAILS: Shared IP?
When co-locating a FreeBSD box being used for 4 websites (inside jails),... 1) What would be the advantage(s) or disadvanatage(s) of giving each website it's own IP vs sharing a single IP? 2) Is one going to be more difficult to set up than the other? 3) Would it be better to use something like Webmin to configure the setup instead of trying to do it by hand, or does that take away from learning?

quick sample:

view "internal" {

recursion yes;

Solved! Trying to secure PostgreSQL

My pg_hba.conf now looks like: local all pgsql ident sameuser local all all ident webusers hostall all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 md5 hostall all 10.0.5.16 255.255.255.255 md5 This enforces password authing on the appropriate network interfaces. For local connections, user `pgsql' can connect as that username, but no other user can connect as `pgsql', and `pgsql' can't connect as any other other. Other users can connect locally if and only if they are defined in the `webusers' map in pg_ident.conf. That was the biggest part of my intended security overhaul. Now I want to prevent users from seeing databases that they're not authorized to access, but since they can't connect to them anyway, I'm not nearly as concerned about that.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies l

I don't know about Europe, but if the algorithm existed in *BSD prior to the patent, that would be "prior art", and it would invalidate the patent. Given the way changes have been introduced into the code base in the various BSDs, there shouldn't be any problem documenting that BSD had it first. The problem is not on things that already exist; they can generally be documented. The problem is granting patents on trivial improvements, like "one click shopping".

But when I do that, I'm prompted to enter the password for 'pgsql' whenever I start the service. That's pretty inconvenient when it's part of the boot process; the system would be effectively hung until I accessed the box, entered the password, and let the init sequence finish.

look in /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf by default is: local all all trust hostall all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust what you have to do is to change trust into password or md5 hope that helps alex p.s. restart postgres after you change the conf file.

How to read CF card via USB with umass on 4.7-STABLE?
I have an old digital camera which has a 64MB CF card in it. A friend loaned me a USB card reader to extract the images. I don't seem to be able to mount it on FreeBSD-4.7-STABLE per the umass man page.

ppp -auto dials immediately? (already tried the usual things)
Hi - I'm setting up ppp for the first time and it works with one exception. It always dials immediately. I've done the usual things and stopped all the processes, etc... What's weird is that logging seems to indicate that this is causing it: tun0: TCP/IP: OUT <0>: fe80::230:1bff:feae:22e7 ---> ff02::1:ffae:22e7 (72) which looks like ipv6 which I'm *not* using... which makes me, well, very confused.

Re: Script doesn't complete via Cron
Ok, I figured out the problem. The step that creates the zip file, wasn't creating the zip file, because, I wasn't using the full path to the zip command.

RE: Script doesn't complete via Cron
I'm extremely new to scripted scp, so this may be idiotic: Assuming you are using rsa or dsa public key authentication for the transfer, you need to make sure the crontab was setup from the account of the authenticated user. Setting it up under root's crontab won't work - the script will request a password to initiate the transfer and never receive a response. For example, I have an user account called "copy" created for scp transfers. This user has an rsa key assigned and copied to each target server. I then set up a job using crontab -e from copy's account to initiate the transfer. If I try the same job using root's crontab, it fails (timeout waiting for a password response). Hopefully that drivel made some sense.

A large part of the reason of why I switched to FreeBSD from Linux was the absence of the patent/license fanaticism you find in the Linux community. If this were a Linux mailing list, 3/4 of the messages would be about the GPL and how MS is evil, while here we have nearly all messages being oriented towards learning how to use and improve FreeBSD. Hm, I think our current problem with the software politic in europe is a little bit more heavy than ms evil :-) I don't know about america, but our politicans didn't have neither any knowledge about software technology nor any idea about the consequences of allowing patents for thinggies like amazon's "One Click Buy" patent. But - by the way - any interested german who had read www.heise.de this week should had noticed that enough protests reached german politicans to open their eyes to the real virtual world. I can't believe other european countries missed that. So now is definitively to late for any protest on freebsd.org - 12 month earlier could had been a good idea (to wake up sleeping guys). But at the moment all of them are informed and inform their represants, too. I think the *BSD communities are comfortable enough in their positions that they don't need to direct so much attention to themselves in that way.

Any user connecting to the machine via the network is authenticated as expected, but local connections slide in without protection. The biggest problem with this comes with running phpPgAdmin. Since it runs under Apache on the same server, it uses a local connection to the database. That means that Joe User can type Username: pgsql Password: and have full read/write access to all of my databases. This is not good. The alternative seems to be re-writing the first line of pg_hba.conf as local all all md5 That works decently, *except* that I have to enter the password for `pgsql' before the database startup.

yet another newbie ppp/modem question
I'm having some trouble getting my modem up and running on FreeBSD 4.8. A search through the mailing list archives shows that many of the problems I've been wrestling with seem to have cropped up before, yet I haven't been able to follow any of the discussion to a workable answer. My modem is sitting on cuaa2 and I needed to re-compile my kernel to recognize that port. I did this and everything went fine, although I am getting the dreaded "sio5: configured irq 2 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0" error which I haven't found a solution for in any documentation or discussion. Just for laughs, I went ahead and tried to contact the modem via ppp, but when I enter the "term" command I get: "Warning: deflink: /dev/cuaa2: Bad file descriptor Failed to open /dev/cuaa2" I am now officially stuck and am entering a plea for help. The relevant lines from the kernel config file are pasted below. This looks right to me, but if anyone can think what I'm doing wrong (including RTFM references) I would be forever grateful. Thanks, Alex *** # Serial (COM) ports device sio0at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4 device sio1at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3 device sio2at isa? port IO_COM3 irq 5 device sio3at isa? disable port IO_COM4 irq 9 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You want to input the password to the perl program and get from it the
password hash as stored in /etc/master.passwd? This will generate you
the MD5 hash:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
@pwchars = ('a' .. 'z', 'A' .. 'Z', '0' .. '9', '/', '.');
$salt = '$1$';
for (1 .. 8) {
$salt .= $pwchars[rand @pwchars];
}
$salt .= '$';
print crypt($ARGV[0], $salt), "\n";

Boca multiport serial card
I am trying to get a Boca 8 port serial card running under 4.8- STABLE. I've added the following to my kernel, compiled it, and installed it: options COM_MULTIPORT #code for some cards with shared IRQs device sio4 at isa? port 0x100 flags 0xb05 device sio5 at isa? port 0x108 flags 0xb05 device sio6 at isa? port 0x110 flags 0xb05 device sio7 at isa? port 0x118 flags 0xb05 device sio8 at isa? port 0x120 flags 0xb05 device sio9 at isa? port 0x128 flags 0xb05 device sio10 at isa? port 0x130 flags 0xb05 device sio11 at isa? port 0x138 flags 0xb05 irq 10 If the card jumpers are configured for irq 12, I get the following from dmesg: sio4: configured irq 12 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0x404 sio5: configured irq 12 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0x404 sio6: configured irq 12 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0x404 sio7: configured irq 12 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0x404 sio8: configured irq 12 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0x404 sio9: configured irq 12 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0x404 sio10: configured irq 12 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0x404 sio11: configured irq 12 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0x404 But if the jumpers are configured for IRQ 10, I don't see anything related to sio4..11 in dmesg. With regards to devices: $ ls /dev/sio* ls: /dev/sio*: No such file or directory I haven't done any MAKDEVs. Is that necessary.

built-in ftpd and uploaded file permissions
Dear experts, Using built-in ftpd, is it possible to control permissions of uploaded files for user anonymous? Files, uploaded by anonymous, have permissions 644 irrespective of mask values requested by 1) option -u for ftpd, and 2) from file login.conf I would prefer to have 660 for uploaded files, as input directory has --Srwx-wx mode.

Try using `ls -G` for color output in ls. If that works, just put an alias in your shells config file. For bash it would look something like: alias ls='ls -G' don't know about other shells, though.

Samba domain and guest users - security advice needed
Hi, I set up a FreeBSD/Samba server for our schools network and I think we need some kind of guest accounts, because students who don't visit one of our regular computer courses frequently forget their usernames or passwords. What would be the best way to achieve this? I could think of three possibilities: 1) Set up local guest accounts on the workstations 2) Set up a number of guest accounts for the domain 3) Set up no guest accounts at all, but place a list of all student's usernames and passwords in every teachers home directory (and hope that they won't forget their data). or ...? Thanks for any advices and ideas.

I ran a couple of tests, and put the one you requested along with one of
the more amusing ones to me, below. These request a page that uses PHP
sessions (the sessions are kept over NFS) and a couple of database
queries. All 3 servers use the same database, tho obviously the database
server handles them locally along with handling the files locally vs
over NFS like the other two would.
I think to sidestep any more testing that may/may not give us more
clues, what we're going to press forward with is trying to get another
>133Mhz FSB setup in here since they're so cheap and just testing to see
if we see similar results if we set it's harddrive up as a mirror of the
production web machine. If by using the same OS installation, and only
change the underlying hardware, I'd say that would more-than-likely tell
us if this is strictly a hardware issue, assuming it performs equally
well as the development machine while using the production machine's
setup.

What you first missed was the step in the installation process that asked you to set up an administration account with passwork. Or, you may have done it and forgotten it. It may be the 'root' account. If you can't remember or figure it out, then you can boot to single user and create one there. There are lots of descriptions in the archives on how to do it and instructions in the FreeBSD Handbook which in online at http://www.freebsd.org/ look for the handbook item or do a search for single user. Or do the search on Google. Create an account with root priviledge and go from there. Make sure you use a decently hard to guess password. reboot(you may have to CTRL-ALT-DEL) hit space when it asks and starts a countdownThen do: boot -s(wait for it to finish to a # prompt) RETURN/ENTERwhen it asks for shell fsck -p mount -u / mount -a swapon -a vipw (see http://scnc.k12.mi.us/howto/edit/vi.html for editing info) copy the line with 'toor' (eg make two of them) replace the 'toor' field with a real id (we use Rinitials) add a shell on the end of the line like '/bin/tcsh' or '/bin/sh' save and exit from vipw(type ESC:wq ) passwd Rinitials (whatever id you just created) and set the password shutdown -r now allow it to reboot and log in with the new id. jerry > > CLUELESS JOHN > ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I was guessing he was mixing bits and bytes and means ~4.5 Kbytes/second which is pretty good on a 56k line.

Where can I find a log file for this ... ?
Hi, one FreeBSD machine at work froze, saying something about some kind of panic. I simply rebooted it, because I had no time then to have a close look at it. Is there some kind of log file where I could see this message again?

Re: whereis fails
I am not 100 percent sure but if memory serves; the man pages are a port by themselves (for xfree), at which point they get installed separately. Those ports should be on disc 1. You can use /stand/sysintall to get back into those ports. My second thought is building/rebuilding the locate database. The files are located here: /var/db/locate.database locate database /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb Script to update the locate database /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate Script that starts the database rebuild More info can be found by checking the man page.

First, I presume you have waited for the tape to quite cycling after
it is first inserted. If not, then it actually is busy.
Second, we have seen this (or something that looks like it) with several
machines that have DAT (DDS) drives. Of about 65 supposedly identical
machines it happens on about 10 or 15 of them and we have not been able
to discover a reliable solution. Sometimes a reboot with power-cycle (eg
turn the power off and pull all power cords for a couple of minutes to
let everything drain) clears it up, but most often not.
So, if anyone has any good insight, I would also appreciate hearing
about it.

Dummynet Pipes
I've got a question about dummynet pipes, basically I've installed two rules per user to control their traffic flow: add 150 pipe 15 ip from 78.77.76.21 to any out pipe 15 config bw 512Kbit/s queue 10 add 160 pipe 16 ip from any to 78.77.76.21 in pipe 16 config bw 512Kbit/s queue 10 However, the first (outbound traffic) rule is not kicking in. And the users can upload at whatever capcity is on the backbone. Just wondering if I've configured it correctly, or if something is missing - Any help appericated.

Clamd is a separate issue, since the only clamav command actually run from the pipeline (and thus under the restrictions of softlimit) is the clamdscan client, which is NOT memory intensive. Yes, clamd contributes to the overall memory footprint, but I'm only concerned with getting softlimit set properly at this point. My machine can always revert to swap, but the second softlimit is exceeded the email will be temporarily defered, which I consider a Bad Thing. Having said that, yes, it is still a very memory intensive pipeline. I took some time to profile the memory usage a few days ago, and it looks like the most memory the pipeline should ever use at any given point in time is ~12780K, with the following processes running: USER PID PPID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND qmaild 24716 24553 0.0 0.2 920 460 ??

R 7:43PM 0:01.28 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue (qmail-scanner is silly. For some reason it spawns a copy of itself, possibly to hand the message off to qmail-queue.) But even with the softlimit set to 15M, my huge test message to a server with only about 80M of free RAM (before sending the message. Free Memory dropped to ~500k while handling the message) somehow managed to exceed the softlimit. The exact same message, sent to a machine with ~600M of free RAM and an identical mail server setup, passed through the pipeline without tripping the softlimit. >From what I have seen while watching a huge message pass down the pipeline, none of the processes in the pipeline increase memory usage in proportion to email size. They're all relatively static. So I'm a little confused about why the softlimit would be tripped on a box that had less RAM (128M) but pass through successfully on a box with more RAM (1G). Would the act of using more swap effectively increase a process's: data segment usage? stack segment usage? locked physical pages per process? total of all segments per process? These are the things that softlimit limits (according to `man softlimit`), and I admittedly don't understand how any of the above translates to memory usage as shown by VSZ and RSS under `ps`, or SIZE and RES under `top`. Any ideas? > Maybe running vmstat -w 1 would give you a different perspective also. I'll check it out. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
