Nokia 6610 via DKU-5 cable (usb) and fbsd-4.8. any chance?
Hi all, I'd like to use my Nokia 6610 with FreeBSD for eventual PPP tests of our dial-in servers. I've got DKU-5 cable. It's USB and the only thing I can get for this phone; ordering IR port is not an option. I've compiled recompiled kernel (4.8-p13) with: device uhci# UHCI PCI-USB interface device usb # USB Bus (required) device ugen# Generic device ucom device uplcom device uvscom device uvisor device uftdi device umodem device uhid# Human Interface Devices When I run 'usbd -d -v' I can see the system detects connected phone as: usbd: device-attach event at 1067328676.392127000, Nokia Connectivity Cable DKU-5, vendor 0x0421: vndr=0x0421 prdct=0x0800 rlse=0x030a clss=0x00ff subclss=0x prtcl=0x00ff device names: ugen0 I guess I should'n expect this to be good enough as: # cu -l /dev/ugen0 Connected. cu: Got hangup signal Disconnected. Basically the only thing I'm interested at the moment is to be able to say 'AT' to the modem. Is there any way to achieve this?

User authentication not working in Apache2

In summary, you're trying to run dump(8) to a remote file, and it's just hanging: dump 0af [EMAIL PROTECTED]:testfile / DUMP: -- We receive that as a result --and it just sits there. This smells to me that the rcmd(3)/rshd(8) facility that remote dumping uses hasn't been enabled. Let me say two things about this: i) One way of making this work is to enable rshd(8) by uncommenting the appropriate line(s) in /etc/inetd.conf on box1.domain.net -- ie: shell stream tcp nowait root/usr/libexec/rshd rshd shell stream tcp6nowait root/usr/libexec/rshd rshd Then you will need to set up /etc/hosts.equiv and/or .rhosts (see hosts.equiv(5)) in order to permit passwordless access to box1.domain.com from the machine you want to backup. Then your remote dump should proceed as desired. However, preferably, don't do this but use the following instead. ii) Although the man page for rcmd(3) or rcmdsh(3) don't mention it, you can actually substitute for rsh(1) by setting the RSH environment variable to the name of the alternate command. See: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=15830 or look at /usr/src/lib/libc/net/rcmd.c around line 113. I've ranted elsewhere in this mailing list about the general desirability of secure protocols like SSH and their superiority over rsh quite recently, so I'll spare you a repeat of that. Suffice it to say that instead of (i) above I would most strongly suggest that you: # setenv RSH /usr/bin/ssh # dump 0af ... and you should read the ssh FAQ entry about unattended login at: http://www.snailbook.com/faq/no-passphrase.auto.html and also make maximum use of the facilities of the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file as described in the section AUTHORIZED_KEYS FILE FORMAT in the sshd(8) man page -- particularly 'from=...', 'command=...', 'no-port-forwarding' and 'no-X11-forwarding', 'no-agent-forwarding'.

Complicated ipfw/ipf forwarding.
Hi, I have a public IP address and a couple of machines sitting behind a FreeBSD router doing NAT. I'm using ipnat and ipf right now (although I used to use natd/ipfw so I don't mind switching -- I started using ipf/ipnat because of an odd problem with 5.1-RELEASE but I'm switching back to 4.9 now) and wondered if it was possible to do forwarding based on DNS. For example Apache is clever enough to support virtual hosts based on the address requested. Is there any way at all to do this for forwarding on the router? For example if I had three CNAMES for the same IP red, pink and blue. Could I have red.foo.bar forwarded to 192.168.0.2, pink.foo.bar forwarded to 192.168.0.3 and say blue.foo.bar go to the local machine (i.e. the router)?

I don't think that will be possible for an arbitrary protocol. The only way that apache can do this is because the HTTP/1.1 protocol explicitly includes the name of the required virtual host in the GET / POST / HEAD packets. (Hence you can't use name virtual hosts with HTTPS, because of the catch 22: you can't read the name of the virtual host until you can decode the packet stream, and you can't decode the stream until you know which virtual host to send it to...) Most protocols don't have anything like this concept of virtual hosts built into them, so the only data they have to work with is the IP and port number in the packet headers. This works with NAT on outgoing connections because the natd(8) will ensure that the source IP+port on any outgoing packets is unique to each connection. Unfortunately there's no way it can work like that for inbound connections. Now, if you're talking about having 3 web servers (red, pink, blue) then you can use an apache instance on your NAT gateway as an inverse proxy: see http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html Other application specific proxies are available for various protocols, for instance ssh(1) has the '-D', '-L' and '-R' command line flags which should be enough to let you ssh into your private network.

Need help getting NIS authentication working w/5.1
I'm having some problems getting NIS working with 5.1. Historically, I'd set up ypbind, add +: to the user database, and I was off and running. Not so, it appears, in 5.1. My understanding is that the servers are NIS+, although I do not have all of the details. I'm able to get ypbind to bind to the domain using -m -S domain,server1,server2 syntax. I can use ypwhich, ypcat, and ypmatch to pull database records, so this side of it seems to work. However, if I add the +: to the user database, I can not log in as a NIS user. Using trafshow, I can see traffic to and from the server, so I'm guessing its a local authentication thing, so I pressed on. After reading the man page, it tickled my memory about using DES passwords, so I went in to /etc/login.conf and changed the passwd_format entry to des. Still no joy. So, more reading. Based on what the defaults are supposed to be, this should now be working. However, in believing that the docs might be wrong, I removed the +:, and created the following nsswitch.conf file, which I stuck in /etc. hosts:files dns passwd:nis [success=return] files group:nis files networks:files Still no joy, and playing with the file doesn't seem to help out a lot. The only log messages I'm getting is the stock login failed... messages. Can anyone give me a pointer as to what I'm missing? I can't believe that it would be totally broken, so I'm assuming its OE.

Clarification on CVS Tags

Not so correct. RELENG_4_8_0_RELEASE marks the state of the system sources at the point that the RELENG_4_8 branch was created, and what went onto the release CDs. Yes, you can use this tag to download sources and building world from there will get you 4.8-RELEASE. However, it's not generally useful to put this tag into a cvsup sup-file -- principally because it marks a point in time, and once you've downloaded it, there won't be any updates. So: no security patches etc. If you're tempted to use this tag, then you probably really want to use RELENG_4_8 or RELENG_4_9 instead. Note that the RELENG_4_x and RELENG_5_x tags apply only to the system sources. The one important tag you've not mentionned is '.', also known as the HEAD in cvs terms. When applied to the system sources, this gets you 5-CURRENT, but unless you're a high powered system hacker type, you don't want that. Ports and docs however, are a different matter. For those collections '.' is the only game in town. The RELENG_x_y tags simply don't exist, and if you accidentally try and cvsup ports using one of them, you'll end up deleting your whole ports tree.

Or do I need to enable any specific options in the kernel config. It has the following CPU- VIA C3 800 E-Series processor, 800 MHz I would appreciate any kind of help. Thanks *** Pranav A.

Problems using mysql-4.0 under 5.1-RELEASE
Heya all, I have big problems using mysql. I really tried so many different combinations of software and configurations, but it's always the same: mysqld crashes. My preferred setup: FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p10 /usr/ports cvsupped daily perl-5.8.0_8 (will try 5.8.1 soon) mysql-server-4.0.16 mysql-client-4.0.16 I get the following error message in /var/db/mysql/hostname.err: ---snip--- 031028 18:35:16 mysqld restarted 031028 18:35:17 InnoDB: Started /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections. Version: '4.0.16' socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' port: 3306 mysqld got signal 11; This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built, or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware. We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong and this may fail. key_buffer_size=8388600 read_buffer_size=131072 max_used_connections=0 max_connections=100 threads_connected=0 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 225791 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

I don't know the value of sort_buffer_size and I do not understand how 8388600 + something-positive can be just 225791. I have 1 GB swap, so this cannot be the problem? This error happens every time when someone is trying to connect to the database using IP (not socket). Because all the mysql-clients in my network try to connect to the database all the time, the server starts and crashes, starts and crashes and so on... I build mysql using portinstall databases/mysql40-server, my make.conf says just CPUTYPE?=p3, sometimes just ?=i586 depending on the machine I used and the things needed for perl-5.8.0. I do not use any of the mysql build options. I've tested this with the default database and with my own database (which worked fine for years with FreeBSD 4.x and mysql-3.23.x). I think the dilemma began after upgrading from FreeBSD 4.8 to 5.1 and after upgrading mysql-3.23.57 (still the binary built with 4.8) to mysql-3.23.58 for the first time. Then I decided to upgrade to mysql-4.0 which did not cure the problem. Oh, maybe this is not really interesting, but I use LANG=C and LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO8859-15. I also got the message: Oct 24 16:01:24 otherhost kernel: Oct 24 16:01:24 otherhost mysqld[13083]: warning: can't get client address: Bad file descriptor Oct 24 16:01:55 otherhost kernel: Oct 24 16:01:29 otherhost mysqld[13083]: warning: can't get client address: Bad file descriptor This problem was solved by editing /etc/hosts.allow this way: ---snip--- mysqld : 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.224 : allow # THESE LINES CRASH mysqld!!! # ALL : PARANOID : RFC931 20 : deny # ALL : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : allow # ALL : ALL : allow ---snap--- While having this problem, I tried WITH_LINUXTHREADS and SKIP_DNS_CHECK and related options in the my.cnf like --skip-name-resolve and --skip-networking (which also solved the problem).

I'm pretty sure I understand, but just wanted to have my thoughts validated for me. In reading the CVS Tag page in the handbook, I understand the basics of what is going on. If I specify this in my cvsup file: RELENG_4_8 I will follow the Release Branch of 4.8, plus security patches. This would be a good choice for production servers. Correct. RELENG_4 For this, you are following the entire 4.x stable branch. In theory, if I install 4.5 and set this up in my cvsup file and run it, I will have the source tree going all the way to 4.9rc# correct? From here, you could build world? Correct. At the moment, RELENG_4 will get you 4.9-RC4, which will shortly become 4.9-RELEASE for a few minutes while the RELENG_4_9 branch is created, and then 4.9-STABLE. If you're willing to wait for a few days RELENG_4_9 would also be a good choice for a production server. Finally: RELENG_4_8_0_RELEASE This would follow just the source, ports and docs tree up to 4.8, the frozen section, correct? Why would someone want to use this particular setup? What are the benefits? Drawbacks? Would it work in a sense that if I installed 4.4 on a server, set this up in my cvsup file to RELENG_4_8_0_RELEASE, ran the update to update sources, ports and docs, then make world: That then would make my box 4.8 ? Not so correct. RELENG_4_8_0_RELEASE marks the state of the system sources at the point that the RELENG_4_8 branch was created, and what went onto the release CDs. Yes, you can use this tag to download sources and building world from there will get you 4.8-RELEASE. However, it's not generally useful to put this tag into a cvsup sup-file -- principally because it marks a point in time, and once you've downloaded it, there won't be any updates. So: no security patches etc. If you're tempted to use this tag, then you probably really want to use RELENG_4_8 or RELENG_4_9 instead. Note that the RELENG_4_x and RELENG_5_x tags apply only to the system sources. The one important tag you've not mentionned is '.', also known as the HEAD in cvs terms. When applied to the system sources, this gets you 5-CURRENT, but unless you're a high powered system hacker type, you don't want that. Ports and docs however, are a different matter. For those collections '.' is the only game in town. The RELENG_x_y tags simply don't exist, and if you accidentally try and cvsup ports using one of them, you'll end up deleting your whole ports tree. [The RELENG_x_y_0_RELEASE tags do exist, but exactly like the system sources they just serve to mark what goes onto the CD Roms.] Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Also, particular production servers may not be running the piece of the base system in which a security hole is found, e.g., sendmail.

Before the security branches existed, we used to encourage people to upgrade to those release-tags instead of upgrading to stable. There are still times when you might want to cvsup to a release point. Of course, once you do the buildworld for that point, then you'll never see any new changes until you switch to a different tag for cvsup. For instance, it might be quite reasonable to cvsup to a release tag, and once you know that worked you would then cvsup to some later release tag, or to RELENG_4 (stable). -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I need to setup apache, postresql and mod_php4 on the box. This is simple enough usually, however the lab does not yet have any sort of internet access. So I was thinking that I would take in a CD of packages built from my system at home using 'make package'. The problem is that the dependency tree for apache+postgresql+mod_php is huge. Is there any quick way to gather up and package all of the dependencies? Are there any gotchas I should be aware of in taking packages built from my home machine to another machine? They are both 5.1 release on i386.

RE: Via EPIA 800Mhz

Strange burncd error
I have been using mkisofs and burncd for some time now on 4.7-RELEASE with no problems.

Is there a way to reliably umount an already disconnected umass0 SCSI-2 device? I'm guessing from the silence that this is a negatory. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that the umass device is created first, and then the da SCSI device is emulated off of that? Still, you'd think the programmer would have built some fool-proofing into the driver, especially once you consider the highly hot-pluggable nature of USB... Drat...

Have you actually installed the new world yet, or are you testing the new kernel with the old world? If it is the latter, then that is the reason for ps and top not working. Some programs, ps and top in particular, do not work correctly if the world and kernel are not in sync; the error messages you report are typical for such a case. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

I'm not sure if this is the 'correct' way to do it, but the logical (and in both of my cases) sequence is: make buildworld - compiles only make installworld- installs the new system binaries reboot make buildkernel - now building against the 'new' user space libraries, utils, etc make installkernel reboot and you should be OK. What appears make have happened is you missed the 'make installworld' step, so userspace libraries and tools were not up to date. I'd try: cd/ /usr/src make installworld make installkernel reboot and post if any change, but I suspect that will fix it..

So confused. but am trying to get away from microsoft. thanks mark Ok, _trying_ to leave some things out of this, like the fact that X-Windows was available long _before_ Windoze... ;-) Sort of. X/XFree is basically a minimal graphical user interface with built in networking support. It provides the bare essentials and infrastructure to build a 'window manager' on top of. Window Managers like CDE, TWM, WindowMaker, IceWM, and others all 'sit on top of' X, adding their own widget libraries(think icons, dialog boxes, 'styles') and defining behaviors (focus follows mouse, click to focus, hot key/meta key support/keybindings). In an X environment, because of having builtin networking from the start, it's fairly common to be running an application on one system, and displaying it on another. The X Server is required on any system that you want to actually display applications on your screen. These applications can be running on the same system (which is what all non networked systems do), or from another system. One of the nice features of X is the underlying architecture is standard across ALL flavors of *nix- it's not perfect, but on a *bsd or Linux system, you can have Solaris's admintool or smc running from a Sun box alongside OpenOffice running locally. Theres a lot more to X, and arguably a lot of features that X 'may not need' any longer, and others that have become security risks as hacking and script kiddies have become more frequent. A search for 'X Windows FAQ' should turn up something. Back to your question- KDE and GNOME both sit on top of X, like any/all X Window Managers. KDE and GNOME both go a step 'further' and also provide session and desktop management. A 'pure' Window Manager is generally only conccerned with the basics- handling window actions and providing for basic window operations- title bars, window decorations (buttons and menus), and the like. KDE and GNOME actually include Window Managers of their own (KDE and Sawfish respectively), but add on additional functionality as well, including some fairly detailed specifications of what an application should/''must' do to be fully KDE or GNOME compliant.

RE: IPSEC tunnel issue..
Here's my situation. I've got 2 networks at different facilities that are using public routable IP's. Each end has a fbsd box in bridge mode as their firewall between the lan and the cisco routers at each end. I've been tasked to establish a secure tunnel between these two networks and I'm having some trouble. I've searched google for ipsec information on this but every thing that I have found depicts a private lan behind the public ip's of the tunnel endpoints. Has anyone been able to establish this type of tunnel successfully? If so, can you please direct me to some information on this? So if I understand correctly, you're running the FreeBSD firewall in transparent mode? Hosts behind the firewall use public addresses on the same subnet as the firewall public? I think you may need to switch to NAT mode so you're running a non-net-routeable (private) LAN. You can always stack more public Ips on the firewall and port forward. Or, if you run a routing daemon and have all your hosts point to it as the default gateway, build the tunnel and route anything that isn't through the tunnel at your real gateway. Or, build the tunnel and add routes to all the hosts specifing the FreeBSD box as the gateway for the remote network. This can be a pain to admin long term, but if, for instance, you run a Windows domain, you can run a route add batch file when users log into the network.

Two questions: WLAN and FBSD Bootloader
Okay, pardon me for doing this folks but rather than have two separate e-mails I figured I might as well place both points in here that I am having trouble with. 1. I run FreeBSD 4.8 on my laptop, very nicely I might add. Its on my home network via 802.11b with the router utilising DHCP. Unfortunately, I have to manually control the wireless device every time I boot up and login so that it comes back onto the network, I assume this is because I am doing something wrong that doesn't allow for DHCP. In my rc.conf I have the line: ifconfig_wi0=ssid WLAN This works fine, on boot it is clearly scanning on that WLAN but it just isn't locking onto channel 11 and associating, as it should. So everytime I login I have to type dhclient wi0. Now, I've tried to add something along these lines into the rc.conf, such as: dhclient=wi0 and dhclient_wi0=YES But to no avail. Can anyone point me to where I am going wrong and perhaps show me the light? 2. My second problem, which isn't really a great problem (more of a vanity thing really), is with the FreeBSD boot loader. On boot the loader looks like this: F1 ??? F2 FreeBSD Default: F2 Now thats all fine and dandy, except the other OS on my hard drive is Windows XP Professional. How do I alter the boot loader to reflect F1 as being WinXP? I've read the man-page for boot0cfg and it doesn't appear to offer what I need, moreover I see no point in fiddling with the existing configuration of the slices. As I said, its mainly vanity.

After you have installed the new world, run mergemaster, and rebooted, then you can test your userland (apps/utilities like top and ps). Stick with the Handbook procedure. Customized build procedures *usually* work (otherwise people wouldn't use them), but the folks who build FreeBSD try to ensure that the steps outlined in the Handbook will pretty much *always* work. BTW, there's a prescribed step I don't see above. Before buildworld, you should update any config files necessary for buildworld by running mergemaster -p (mergemaster with the pre-buildworld option).

Re: ftp with user root
Hello, bootptab means you are using your server in a working environment, so consider not using an unsafe method like ftp to get the file from A to B. If your lan is TOTALLY non-public and has no ways for access you can open up ftp for user root by modifying the /etc/ftpusers file and knock out the root entry. You will have to HUP inetd as well as make sure the ftpd line is not remmed in /etc/inetd.conf. If though you have access to edit/change ftpusers then you have enough privilege to ftp up this file to a non-important user and then make a chown root:wheel after you have placed and moved the file. The key to remember is if you leave root as an ftp option and forget to undo the changes you most likely will lose the fear of leaving such a beast as root-ftp access open and continue to use it until one day when someone using a variety of means captures your root password on the clear text ftp protocol. Have you considered: sftp - Allows you to access the system in a secure like method including placing files from a client to server. nfs - Allows you to operate on the files directly with a preplanned who can and who can't access the files. Standard login takes care of the rest. Hope this helps. R.

While running a similar set of services, FreeBSD may be using less background processing time. Or maybe not. I definitely see significantly lower CPU usage (idling under X, FreeBSD shows about 2-10% CPU, linux about 15-35%). However, this may just be an artifact of linux's notoriously bad reporting, or the fact that I'm using the O(1) kernel and preemptible kernel patches, or maybe something stupid some GNOME applet is doing because I configured it wrong under linux; who knows Check with top to see which processes are using the CPU. Keep in mind that top is gathering information from the same proc filesystem as gtop, GNOME's system monitor, etc., so it's no more accurate than they are. And, as I mentioned, there are well-known issues with this reporting. For me, 9 times out of 10, it's the X server itself taking up cycles for doing nothing. But for me, 9 times out of 10, the X server is grabbing lots of idle time but won't steal time away from processes that actually need it. This may prevent a laptop CPU from going into low-power mode, but it doesn't affect anything else--even nice 20'd processes run. With a patched kernel, this can get even more extreme (like the interactive kernel patches, which will throw bonus timeslices at X, nautilus, and some other processes): I've seen X using supposedly over 90% of my CPU--and then started a compile, and X immediately dropped to under 10%--and everything remained responsive throughout. Even without unofficial patches, remember that the linux scheduler has been hacked at and even continually rewritten a few times in recent years, so what you see with one version may not be the same with another. However, you may have a memory leak. When I upgraded a Redhat 6 box to XFree86 3.3, I had exactly that problem (IIRC, it ultimately had to do with a bug in the version of gcc that Redhat was distributing)--after a while, X was using 90% of my CPU for real, and sucking up a few hundred megs of memory to boot, and the system slowed to a crawl. (Even then, I just had to kill X; I didn't need to restart.) This is why I said, FreeBSD may be using less background processing time. Or maybe not. Linux sometimes doesn't give you enough (or accurate enough) information to know whether it's wasting your CPU. So, it certainly appears to be more wasteful than FreeBSD, but it may not actually _be_ more wasteful. As a test, rebuilding mozilla takes about the same amount of time under both systems (FreeBSD 5.1 vs. Mandrake 9.1 with kernel 2.4.21 with the preemptible patch). It won't do it right after a fresh boot, but some program along the way usually triggers the siphoning of the CPU usage. I have found this an awful lot whilst running X under Linux. After a fresh boot, with nothing running, it works nicely. Give it a couple open applications, and even when nothing is running except X itself, it will take up extra CPU time and physical memory space until freshly booted again. If this isn't getting too off-topic, what distro, kernel, and X are you using? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
