Do you have the latest versions. There was an update to start a wrapper 
for arts to let it run realtime.

Thx for answering.

But... hmm..., I'm not using -O3 for the kernel, or at least I thought I
wasn't!?

When using COPTFLAGS in make.conf, isn't CFLAGS ignored when building the
kernel?
I build the kernel with:
make -j2 buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL

Does it mean that COPTFLAGS & CFLAGS are actually merged?!
This:
COPTFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -funroll-loops
CFLAGS= -O3 -pipe -funroll-loops

Results in this: 
gcc -O2 -O3 -pipe -funroll-loops 
 
thx

Re: /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx errors when compiling

[den]

You are right - only COPTFLAGS used when you compiling the kernel.
BUT YOU should note that when you compile the kernel you don't compile  
only it !
You also compile many modules . You have problem namely with module.
So

COPTFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -funroll-loops

has affect only on kernel. But

CFLAGS= -O3 -pipe -funroll-loops

will be used for compiling your modules. In other words kernel will be optimized
with -O2 , but modules will be optimized with -O3.
Actually you don't have problem with compiling your KERNEL. You have problem
with compiling some modules.
My solution actually - compiling with option -O2 such modules that cannot be compiled 
with -O3  .
All other modules I has compiled with -O3.

This is because using -O3 adds the option -finline-functions. 
You should only use -O when compiling the kernel and that's 
all that is actually supported.

Let me ask the obvious.  Are you seeing anything in the logs?  You dont happen 
to have /home/edd/home as your current directory when you try and dismount?
Have you tried umount -v or umount -f?

I had a similar problem but i cant quite recall how i solved it.  Ill look at 
that machine in the next few days and see.

This was fixed in firefox-0.8_2.  You should re-cvsup your ports tree
and build again.

CUPS on 5.2 HELP...

[Ana Velasco]

Hi,

I am about 3 weeks now trying to get Cups to work with no luck.
First, I am sorry about my Enghish writing but I am from brazil.
Well, I did an upgrade from 5.1 to 5.2, and the Cups sceme thet they had
working here I cant make it work now.

I have cups runnig in a application server (agata) and a HP OfficeJet R45 on
another machine (opala), all the clients mount agata's /usr/local and
/var/db/pkg and all have cups started.

After setting in printers.conf opala as the server, I added a printer on
agata. In the /printers dir of the web interface of each machine, I see all
the printers detected and poiting the themselves.

I can print a test page from agata's web interface but not from the other clients.

I don't know what else to do, please sombody help me or just give me an idea
of what can I try next.
If you guys need more info, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

RE: 5.2.1 - KDELibs and total freeze-up

[Graeme Smith]

The same thing happened to me on a PII Siemens laptop last night.  At the
time I figured it was just a heat issue, but perhaps there is more to it.  I
hard booted it and just let make carry on.  I can't tell if there is a
problem running KDE 3.20 yet as it's not finished compiling...  It was
definitely kdelibs where it froze though.

KDE-3.1.4 > KDE-3.20 on 5.2

Good Luck!

Thank you guys for your help.
I actually did use sysinstall (sorry, Jerry) and mission is accomplished.
Yes, indeed, I lost the data is the two merged partitions 'f' and 'g', but
that was no problem; I needed to keep the data in all other partitions.
Sysinstall did all that for me.
Meanwhile I learned a lot more about disklabel, thanks to your comments.

Ports files

[Jonathan Arnold]

My port hierarchy seems to have gotten out of date or something.
It is missing some subdirectories, like multimedia, even though I
run cvsup every other night on it.
Can I just download the whole ports from :

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz

and then just untar it into /usr/ports? And then cvsup should pick
up updates that come after that? Or will I confuse cvsup?

Standby mode for monitor.

[Malcolm Kay]

I'd like to be able to switch the monitors on a number of
our computers into standby mode from a software program
running on a virtual console; and wakeup either when a key is 
pressed or when the program has new information to display.

I can probably manage to control blank screen savers but I
would prefer to power down the displays to standby modes.

The machines are those small size 'kitchen computer' VIA 
based cubes (almost). The monitors are LCD displays.

Are there ioctls to help with this?
How do I go about it?

All ideas welcomed.

Is ZoneEdit.com any good

[JJB]

Setting up my own web site for public internet access.
My ISP blocks port 80.
Planning on using ZoneEdit.com for dyndns because I have dynamic
IP address and the need to re-direct port 80 to different port
number
to get past my ISP blocking. All ready have registered domain name.

Looking for comments about your experiences with them, good or bad,
on reliability, billing, speed of their email forwards, ease of use,
or anything you thing I need to know about them.

Any recommendations on what new web port number to use to stay under
my ISP's radar and hidden.  ZoneEdit says an port number between
6000 to 8000 is an good hiding place.

What is your thoughts about that?

Re: FreeBSD and sendmail...

[Ed Budd]

Jason:

Keep in mind that the "bat book" is the definitive reference on sendmail
but also written to cover the widest possible user base as far as OS is
concerned. Keep it handy and refer to it often for getting to know all
the available options, rulesets, header formats, etc. but read it with
this in mind.

What you really want is FreeBSD-specific information. For that, as
always, refer to the FreeBSD Handbook. I
believe it has almost a step-by-step on "smtp authentication" using
cyrus-sasl. I've also found the cyrus website
(http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus) to be very helpful in understanding the
relationship between it and sendmail. Also, take a peak at the
www.sendmail.org. If I recall correctly, the FAQ has some useful
information on authentication using sendmail.

Having done this myself the best advice I can offer is really take the
time to read the directions carefully over a couple cups of coffee (or
whatever your preferred poison) -- take your time with it.

Good luck

EB

Is this indicated of a disk going bad?
If so, is there a way to confirm it?

5.2 Bridging issue

[Aaron D. Gifford]

PROBLEM SUMMARY:


I've got a bridge(4) issue on a BSD 5.2.1 box.  The bridging box has three ethernet 
interfaces, two bridged together in a single cluster, and one connected to the 
internet.  The box acts as a bridge for the two network segments, and as a router to 
the Internet (it's the default gateway).  The problem is, only one of the bridged 
segments can communicate with the BSD box directly (and thus the Internet), even 
though the two segments can talk to each other just fine.


NETWORK SET-UP:
---

First, let me clue you in on my network set-up:

FreeBSD 5.2 Box with 3 ethernet interfaces, em0, rl0, and rl1:

[FreeBSD Box]
  |   |   |
 rl0 rl1 em0
  |   |   |
  |   |   +---To-Internal-Network-Segment-#1...
  |   |
  |   +---To-Internal-Network-Segment-#2..
  |
  +---Internet...

Interfaces rl1 and em0 are bridged:

  net.link.ether.bridge.config=em0:1,rl1:1

Since they ARE bridged and so are "on the same subnet", only em0 has
an IP address:

  ifconfig em0 inet 10.10.10.1/16

I don't see how or why one would need or could assign an IP on the
same subnet to the other interface, rl1, unless it was handled like
many alias addresses, as a /32 host address.

Interface rl0 is the link to the Internet.

Bridging for the most part seems to be working.  Hosts on segment #1
(via em0) are visible to hosts on segment #2 (connected via rl1).  They
can ping each other, get ARP address resolution, and pass IP traffic.

All hosts use 10.10.10.1 as their default gateway to the Internet.

Hosts on segment #1 can reach the Internet just fine.


PROBLEM DETAILS:


Hosts on segment #2 cannot seem to be able to communicate with the
bridinging/routing FreeBSD box's own IP addresses, and since it is the
default gateway, in turn they cannot reach the Internet.  No layer 2
traffic (ARP) reaches the FreeBSD box directly (the ARP table shows
"incomplete" for all segment #2 addresses, even though ARP packets
DO reach segment #1 just fine, passing transparently through the
FreeBSD box.  The BSD box just can't see stuff addressed directly to it.

This is NOT a firewalling or NAT issue.  This is exclusively a bridging
issue.  Firewalling/NAT occurse elsewhere.

So since I'm a FreeBSD bridge(4) newbie, after scouring the man page,
reading the Handbook's information, searching various mailing list archives,
I can't find anything useful that tells me if bridge's bdg_forward() knows
how to handle traffic like this.  Apparently it doesn't.

So bridging is just fine if you want your BSD box hidden, transparent,
invisible.  But if you want it visible so it can act as a default gateway
to all segments of a subnet that are bridged together, HOW DOES ONE DO IT?

I can't ifconfig the rl1 interface with an IP on the same subnet unless it's
a /32, and that accomplishes nothing (the IP packets are addressed to the
IP address assigned to em0).  Bridging SHOULD just bridge, so traffic to
the BSD box's em0 IP should come in on rl1 and be processed by the host.

Somehow the bridging code knows the MAC addresses on the segment #2 side of
things (rl1), since it passes traffic between the two segments just fine.
But the kernel's ARP table is totally ignorant.  It can't find those hosts.


REQUEST FOR HELP:
-

Thanks in advance for all help, pointers, etc.  If there's not a way to do
this, then this sounds like an issue that should be added to the BUGS section
of the bridge(4) man page.

Sure.  You boot the floppies the same way as for an install, and you
will be given an option menu.  Along with the various install choices
will be a "fixit" entry.

Have a look at the list of FreeBSD snailmail vendors:

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

particularly check out the sites of the vendors to see what information

Re: 5.2 Bridging issue

[Bjorn Eikeland]

På Thu, 12 Feb 2004 03:56:56 -0700 (MST), skrev Aaron D. Gifford 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

PROBLEM SUMMARY:

I've got a bridge(4) issue on a BSD 5.2.1 box.  The bridging box has 
three ethernet interfaces, two bridged together in a single cluster, and 
one connected to the internet.  The box acts as a bridge for the two 
network segments, and as a router to the Internet (it's the default 
gateway).  The problem is, only one of the bridged segments can 
communicate with the BSD box directly (and thus the Internet), even 
though the two segments can talk to each other just fine.

NETWORK SET-UP:
---
First, let me clue you in on my network set-up:

FreeBSD 5.2 Box with 3 ethernet interfaces, em0, rl0, and rl1:

[FreeBSD Box]
  |   |   |
 rl0 rl1 em0
  |   |   |
  |   |   +---To-Internal-Network-Segment-#1...
  |   |
  |   +---To-Internal-Network-Segment-#2..
  |
  +---Internet...
Interfaces rl1 and em0 are bridged:

  net.link.ether.bridge.config=em0:1,rl1:1

Since they ARE bridged and so are "on the same subnet", only em0 has
an IP address:
  ifconfig em0 inet 10.10.10.1/16

I don't see how or why one would need or could assign an IP on the
same subnet to the other interface, rl1, unless it was handled like
many alias addresses, as a /32 host address.
Interface rl0 is the link to the Internet.

Bridging for the most part seems to be working.  Hosts on segment #1
(via em0) are visible to hosts on segment #2 (connected via rl1).  They
can ping each other, get ARP address resolution, and pass IP traffic.
All hosts use 10.10.10.1 as their default gateway to the Internet.

Hosts on segment #1 can reach the Internet just fine.

PROBLEM DETAILS:

Hosts on segment #2 cannot seem to be able to communicate with the
bridinging/routing FreeBSD box's own IP addresses, and since it is the
default gateway, in turn they cannot reach the Internet.  No layer 2
traffic (ARP) reaches the FreeBSD box directly (the ARP table shows
"incomplete" for all segment #2 addresses, even though ARP packets
DO reach segment #1 just fine, passing transparently through the
FreeBSD box.  The BSD box just can't see stuff addressed directly to it.
This is NOT a firewalling or NAT issue.  This is exclusively a bridging
issue.  Firewalling/NAT occurse elsewhere.
So since I'm a FreeBSD bridge(4) newbie, after scouring the man page,
reading the Handbook's information, searching various mailing list 
archives,
I can't find anything useful that tells me if bridge's bdg_forward() 
knows
how to handle traffic like this.  Apparently it doesn't.

So bridging is just fine if you want your BSD box hidden, transparent,
invisible.  But if you want it visible so it can act as a default gateway
to all segments of a subnet that are bridged together, HOW DOES ONE DO 
IT?

I can't ifconfig the rl1 interface with an IP on the same subnet unless 
it's
a /32, and that accomplishes nothing (the IP packets are addressed to the
IP address assigned to em0).  Bridging SHOULD just bridge, so traffic to
the BSD box's em0 IP should come in on rl1 and be processed by the host.

Somehow the bridging code knows the MAC addresses on the segment #2 side 
of
things (rl1), since it passes traffic between the two segments just fine.
But the kernel's ARP table is totally ignorant.  It can't find those

You are lucky.  sysinstall makes some assumptions in the way it 
calls disklabel.   Your situation fit neatly within those assumptions.

Well, it just let you define those other partitions in the same
way they were before so effectively it left them alone.

Disklabel is actually quite easy to use.   The man page combined with
the fdisk man page can be rather confusing.   The approach to writing
them seem rather convoluted to me.  If I felt competent enough on the
subject, I would take a shot at rewriting them, but there are two
many details about the extra features I do no know about.  But, the
main stuff is reall quite straightforward to use.

Re: Sound failures after upgrade to KDE 3.2

[Michael Dunham]

Kent

Yes I believe it is. pkg_version reports:
arts-1.1.4_3,1  =   up-to-date with port

But you're right, I have narrowed it down to the arts port.  So, I will do 
some looking at arts related issues.  I narrowed it down by changing /dsp 
to /dsp0 in the hardware tab in the control center under multimedia and the 
error did move to dsp0.  

So, any other suggestions are welcome.  I may do a reinstall of the port - 
with all the changes recently, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Re: networking w/ win9x

Depends on what you mean "to network".   To just hook them together
you don't need anything on the FreeBSD side.   If you want to be able
to "mount a network drive" on the win box, then run Samba on the
FreeBSD box and host things there.

Now, if you mean you have both FreeBSd and Win98 on the same box
and have it dual booted.   Then, you can mount the Win disk space
when FreeBSD is running by doing a mount_msdos or making the FAT 
slice used for win an msdos type in your /etc/fstab file.  Then you
can read and even write your msdos disk space while in FreeBSD.  But,
going the other way, you cannot access FreeBSD disk while in
the MSwin side of the machine.

Richard,

If you have broadband, install cvsup, read the man page on that, and install 
new sources over FTP via cvsup.  Once you have a correct supfile, it's pretty 
brainless.  Most of us have some upgrading done via cron on a regular basis,

Problem with someone port scanning me

[Dragoncrest]

	For the past couple of days I've had someone on our lan port scanning my 
box.  Not sure what's up with that, but I'm curious if there's a way to log 
what IP address this is coming from.  I don't have IPFW enabled yet as I 
haven't had the time to configure it at this point as it's currently behind 
the company firewall on our T3.  Is there a way to log where it's coming 
from?  Or is that already being logged somewhere?

Setting up X for external monitor(s)

[Jesse Sheidlower]

I have XFree86 4.3 running on an IBM ThinkPad X23 laptop; the
screen has a maximum resolution of 1024x768. If I plug in an
external monitor with a larger screen, and then hit F7 to get
the monitor on, it will still show up as 1024x768, just
larger.

What sections do I need to set up in my XF86Config-4 file to
enable different resolutions for an external monitor? I'm not
clear on the differences between Section "Monitor" and the
Section "Screen" (where resolutions appear to be set). And
specifically, how do I then switch from monitor to monitor, so
that I'm using a particular one for the external monitor, with
bigger resolution, and a different one for the laptop screen,
with a smaller resolution (i.e. something like "hit F7")? What
if I had the possibility of several different external
monitors, with different resolutions?

I'm using Gnome2 if that matters, on FreeBSD 4.8. The computer
uses the ATI Radeon Mobility card.

Thanks.

I wonder if you might get some benefit from a couple of simple IPF rules
and a quick portsentry install. 

/etc/ipf.rules

pass in log on interface0 from any to any
pass out log on interface0 from IP to any

with the appropriate startup would give you a good idea of the IP
address the scan is comming from. Whether your DHCP server admin will
tell you who that address is is a different matter.

Boot loop in FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE after install

[Mike Newell]

I am trying to install FreeBSD on a Dell Precision 410 workstation.  The
system has two 18G SCSI drives (Seagate ST318203LW) on an Adaptec 7890
SCSI adaptor (BIOS V2.01.05).  I've gone through the entire install and
when the system tries to boot the first time the boot loader loads, then a
huge amount of text scrolls VERY rapidly up the screen [I can see the word
"Can't" but this is scrolling VERY fast], then the system resets (clearing
the screen of course) and the process starts again.

I've searched the archives and the only hint I've seen is using the
install disk to boot then use sysinstall to install a boot manager
(Configure...Fdisk...Select DA0...W).  I did that and the problem
persists.  I do get the "F1...FreeBSD/F5...Disk1" prompt, but pressing
"F1" again starts the boot process, which generates billions (all right,

over.

I've tried this install with various partition sizes, including the
defaults and one signle huge partition.  Same symptoms.

I've installed FreeBSD 5.2 on other systems with IDE drives from this same
CD with no problems.  I've also loaned them to others who also have not
had problems.

Can anyone help?  Is there any way to slow the bootup process so I can at
least read the errors?

Thanks,

Changing Boot Location

[Adam Seniuk]

I have some Desktop archtechture pc's that is running my servers. 
 
I went out and got dell 1650's and the dell servers run there IDE chain on
the secondary channel. 
So my installs which are based on the primary IDE channel do not boot up in
the dell. 
 
How do I change the boot from ad0 to ad2?
 
Thanks.

As a temporary measure you could always enable 'log_in_vain' via sysctl:

sysctl net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain=1
sysctl net.inet.udp.log_in_vain=1

adding:

log_in_vain="YES"

to /etc/rc.conf if you want this functionality to be enabled at boot
time.  This configures the freebsd kernel to log any connection attempts
made via udp or tcp to ports that are not open (ie log connection
attempts made in vain).

You'd then want to make sure syslogd is configured to log the info to a
file:

kernel.debug/var/log/kern_debug.log

although this will probably dump a lot of other stuff to
/var/log/kern_debug.log as well - see syslog(8) and syslog(5)
for more info on configuring syslog - or google for:

sysctl log_in_vain syslog.conf

:P

Note also importantly - log_in_vain is a _very_ poor substitute for a
firewall for logging this kind of info.

CVSup question, which tag for 4.9-RELEASE?

[Bob Collins]

I am running a few boxes(n) on 4.9-RELEASE and am wondering about
updating the ports and source. Using CVSup, should I tag src with
RELENG_4, or RELENG_4_9? And what if any are the differences, that
are not already noted in the handbook? Up to this point, I have not
updated the system since install

I think I have a rather good grasp of the topic, but there is a little
confusion on my part. I am thinking if I read correctly, using RELENG_4
will update to the latest in the 4.x branch and I'll be at 4.9-Current,
no? And RELENG_4_9 will be only updates to the 4.9 branch?

Thanks for the clarification.

See:

to quote:

RELENG_4
The line of development for FreeBSD-4.X, also known as FreeBSD-STABLE.

RELENG_4_9
The release branch for FreeBSD-4.9, used only for security advisories and
other critical fixes.

For your system, use RELENG_4_9; "tag=RELENG_4_9"; this will keep you up to date
with the security fixes.
For the ports, always use CURRENT; "tag=."

RELENG_4 will update you to 4-STABLE (the future 4.10 if there's one).

No.  No such thing as "4.9-CURRENT."  RELENG_4 will update to 4-STABLE,
which means it includes whatever updates have been made to -STABLE since
the 4.9-RELEASE snapshot (4.x-RELEASE being a snapshot of 4-STABLE).

> And RELENG_4_9 will be only updates to the 4.9 branch?

4.9 isn't a branch itself, it's a snapshot of the -STABLE branch. 
RELENG_4_9 contains only critical updates from the 4.9-RELEASE snapshot,
primarily if not exclusively security updates.

man tcpdump

ports/net/ethereal

netcat? (ports/net/nc). If connections are to a specific port and
protocol are tcp you can set up nc to listen for connections on this
port. Once a connection is established you might get some info, e.g. see
what requests are made. A while ago I started getting an absurd number
of requests (+30k in an afternoon on my standalone home computer), using
netcat I found out that it was requests from kazaa clients... (and no, I
don't run kazaa but I'm on dhcp so I obviously got a "bad" ip).

Read your ports-supfile where it tells you that this is what will happen
if you use the wrong "tag=" entry (it's the section that starts with
"WARNING!..." so you'll be sure not to miss it;), and tells you the
*only* correct tag to use.

You need to change the tag line to read:

*default tag=.

Your best bet is to use the sample supfile here:

/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile

which has lots of useful comments in it.

Compaq RAID on 4.9-RELEASE?

[Tim Pushor]

Hi all,

We are going to be replacing one of our older systems here with a new 
HP/Compaq server and want to buy a (cheap) supported hardware raid 
adapter. Compaq/HP used to be so easy.

The system we are looking at has either a Compaq 532 or 641 depending on 
the processor speed (!). I see the 532 is supported, any word on the 641?

Is anyone using either of these two cards and can vouch for the 
performance/stability?

Thanks in advance,
Tim

hostname and dhcp

[Evan Dower]

I've actually been running FreeBSD for quite a while now, but I've never 
known exactly how to handle this. In rc.conf, one must specify a hostname. 
If you're using DHCP to set up your network though, your FQDN (fully 
qualified domain name) can change without notice. It seems like a Good Idea 
to have your hostname be your FQDN, since some things will do a reverse 
lookup on your IP to verify that it matches the hostname you supplied. In 
particular I'm thinking of SMTP servers here. (send-pr doesn't work for me 
because my mail gets rejected.) So, when you're autoconfiguring your network 
interfaces, what should you put in rc.conf's hostname variable? Is there 
something else I can do that would allow me to have something nicer looking, 
but still send my FQDN when asked?
Thanks very much,

If you don't set your hostname in rc.conf, dhclient should change it
for you when it finds out what it is.

Re: hostname and dhcp

[Evan Dower]

Hmm... That is what I expected it to do, but when I tried it, I ended up 
with an empty hostname. Of course, I don't remember now if I commented out 
that line or just set it to empty. Actually, looking at 
/etc/defaults/rc.conf I see that if I comment it out in /etc/rc.conf it gets 
set to the empty string in the default, so it shouldn't matter. Anyway, like 
I said, I tried that and just ended up with an empty hostname. Perhaps that 
indicates something is wrong with my configuration...

One last question.  Does IPF work by default or do I have to do anything

kernel compilation problems - 5.1 (long)

[Tadimeti Keshav]

hi all,
I am having problems compiling my kernel. 

FreeBSD 5.1
Intel Pentium 200 MMX. 64MB ram. 
Digital PC 5000. 
I am having problems while linking the objects (.o
files). Why is it compiling for PentiumPRO?
I am attaching the kernel config file.
Sorry if I have sent it to the wrong list.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks v much in advance

BeOS Air
You have to pay for the tickets, but they're half the price of Windows Air, and if you 
are an aircraft mechanic you can probably ride for free. It only takes 15 minutes to 
get to the airport and you are cheuferred there in a limozine. BeOS Air only has 
limited types of planes that only hold new luggage. All planes are single seaters and 
the model names all start with an "F" (F-14, F-15, F-16, F-18, etc.). The plane will 
fly you to your destination on autopilot in half the time of other Airways or you can 
fly the plane yourself. There are limited destinations, but they are only places you'd 
want to go to anyway. You tell all your friends how great BeOS Air is and all they say 
is "What do you mean I can't bring all my old baggage with me?"

Well, when you refuse, you take a chance on "make index" not working.

RE: hostname and dhcp

[JJB]

If I understand you correctly, you are talking about your system
which is connected to the public internet, and you are using the
FBSD built in DHCP client to get an lease from your ISP. Now if you
are an commercial user with an officially registered domain name and
static ip address from your ISP,  Your ISP has you in their DHCP
server with your FQDN and it's being sent to your system when you
get an new lease. The FBSD built in DHCP client is not configured to
accept that info which will auto populate the hostname= environment
variable.  Install the DHCP package on you system and configure It's
client to accept that info.

If you are not an commercial user, then the host name the ISP uses
for you is meaningless to you. If you have officially registered
domain name then use that in your hostname=  statement, like this,
hostname="cyberbaby.com", then that FQDN will be what sendmail uses
for all the users on your LAN. Then use DHCP server to pass the
major FQDN to all LAN PC, and those systems will append to the front
their system names and tell your DHCP server their full name.

If you do not have LAN or officially registered domain name, then
all you need, is to meet the domain nameing convention,
something.com and you are all set go. IE:
hostname="home.FBSDyourLastName.com".

As far as reverse lookup goes, that is only on officially registered
domain names,  either yours, which really happens at the registry
hosting your domain name, or at the ISP if your using their email
servers.

On your system the value you use in hostname=  should also be in the
/etc/hosts file like this

#
::1 localhost localhost.my.domain
127.0.0.1   localhost home.FBSDyourLastName.com FBSDyourLastName.com
#


Hope this helps

Joe

Hmm... That is what I expected it to do, but when I tried it, I
ended up
with an empty hostname. Of course, I don't remember now if I
commented out
that line or just set it to empty. Actually, looking at
/etc/defaults/rc.conf I see that if I comment it out in /etc/rc.conf
it gets
set to the empty string in the default, so it shouldn't matter.
Anyway, like
I said, I tried that and just ended up with an empty hostname.
Perhaps that
indicates something is wrong with my configuration...
Thanks very much for the help (any other ideas?),

Your immediate problem is a common one. Your kernel config includes the

But scbus and da are commented out. Uncomment them, and compile.

Problem with ssh

[Dragoncrest]

Hi again everyone.  Ok, this issue just popped up today on a different
machine, but it's still bugging me either way.  My home mail server
(freebsd 4.8) has SSH available to the internet so I can get into the
box from work if need be.  That is the only port open as it's a fetching
mail server so port 25 isn't available to the rest of the world.  Nor is
110.  What I just discovered today is that my sshd is allowing auth by
public key OR password.  I don't want it to auth by password.  JUST
public key.  So in other words if you don't already have the public key
file, well, it sucks being you because you won't get connected.

Anyone know how to do this?  Or would this question be better handled on
an SSH mailing list?  If so, which list is best and how do I sign up? 
Much apreciated on the info.  Thanks.

Read the sshd_config(5) manpage.  The 'PasswordAuthentication' keyword
seems to be what you are interested in.

Locating LCD Information

[Joe Lewis]

I recently bought a couple of network storage apps.  I think I've gotten 
a good feel for the LCDd from the LCDProc port.  I think I need to find 
out what kind or LCD it is before proceeding.  Do you guys know of any 
way to locate specs for the LCD devices on network servers?

It comes from a storigen device, and the LCD circuit boards all have 
storigen ID numbers (and storigen is out of business - go figure).  Any 
ideas on where to look next?

For what it's worth, this is my config that does exactly what you are
looking for. It allows auth by public key only, i.e., the user's public
key must be concatenated into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 in their
respective home dir.

There might be some better tweaking I could do to this, but haven't
gotten around to yet. The main thing is that it does pubkey auth and
accepts ssh protocol 2 only.

Hope this helps.

Spimware infection

[Wallace Aiken]

Hi, I'm using two of your firewalls...they work great. But all of a sudden they're 
showing signs of "Spimmware" infection, a kind of spyware. 

I work for Kent State university and their network scan came up with the IPs and host 
names of my firewalls, as well as some other hosts on my subnet that were not behind 
the firewall...can you give me any advice?

Thanks!

Hardware vs software firewall on FreeBSD

[ppi]

I'm upgrading the hardware on my webserver.  It will run FreeBSD 4.9.

I need to decide whether to use a hardware firewall (Cisco) or use ipfw,
ipf, pf, etc.

The hardware firewall will increase my monthly server rental bill by
almost 30%.  So I'm wondering if the significant extra cost is worth it.

What kind of performance hit will result from using ipfw, ipf or pf?

I would like to avoid the extra expense of the hardware firewall.

Can anyone offer an opinion on this matter?  Any good reasons to use one
over the other?

root access to a custom .sh defined as shell; need root privilages to add newuser

[ZZerver ZZserver]

Am running a free server of shells in freeBSD 4.9, the amount of
people solicitading new accounts has been too much that i can not
handle them by me, so i wrote this .sh program to do it for me, my
code its secure as much i can tell, i understand the risk involve and
decide to do it anyways, soo i create a new group call 'shellauto',
add new user 'newuser' promote to 'wheel', then i modify etc/shells to
accept my new shell, so when some body logs to my server as 'newuser'
the server run my .sh (freeshell.sh), everything works goodl but my
question is ...how can i give my script root previlages ? so can
addusers without me? also if there is a way to type a command directly
to shell (bash) so i can define quotas of 1mb, and background procees
to 3?? that way i can include those commands to my freeshell.sh
...thanks

It might be best if you reinstalled the OS from scratch and ensure you
assign the disk space more practically.  Presently you have a massive
proportion of your disk space assigned to /home and only a small
proportion assigned to / - you can get away with a /home partition of
only 1Gb, but a tiny / partition will make using the OS difficult.

A more suitable fs layout might be:

Filesystem  SizeMounted on
/dev/ad1s1a 500MB   /
/dev/ad1s1e 500MB   /tmp
/dev/ad1s1f 10-20GB /usr

with the remaining space going to /var and /home.  

You don't have to create separate partitions for each mount point, but
it speeds things up a little and saves disk space being filled up and
causing a denial of service...

Better bet if you don't feel confident with partitioning might be to let
the installer choose the partition sizes for you initially - select 'a' in the
fdisk screen (iirc) and the installer automatically selects the partition sizes
it thinks are best given the size of the hdd.

At the end of the day the best way to learn is to install, reinstall,
reinstall and reinstall again :P

As always read, reread, etc the handbook section on partitioning:

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

Good luck!

You are not supposed to be able to make a shell script have SUID root
ability.So, you either need to write a wrapper in C that calls
it or just rewrite the whole thing in C.

stupid packages question

[Duane Winner]

Hello,

I'm sure there is an easy answer to this that I just haven't been able
to gleen from reading stuff:

How can I make packages for all the depencies of a package that I'm
trying to create in one fell swoop?

Example:
If I go into /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade and type
"make package"
it builds a nice package that I can send to other machines to install,
but then of course I will need to install all the depencies first, which
means I have to go back to my build box, find all the sources and "make
package" on all of them. Kinda tedious. Is there an easier way?

I've read about "make package" in about 5 different docs/books, but none
of the mention this problem.

Thanks for any info.

nasm, ld, libc, and **environ

[Adam Bozanich]

Hi all.  I am trying to learn asm with NASM on a FreeBSD system.  I really
need to debug my programs while I learn, so I want to use printf.  This is
what I am using to assemble and link:

nasm -f elf use_printf.asm
ld -o use_printf use_printf.asm -lc

but then when I run the program:

$./use_printf
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libc.so.5: Undefined symbol "environ"

If I try to use static linking, I get this:

$ld -static -o use_printf use_printf.asm -lc
/usr/lib/libc.a(getenv.o): In function `getenv':
getenv.o(.text+0x19): undefined reference to `environ'
getenv.o(.text+0x29): undefined reference to `environ'
getenv.o(.text+0x63): undefined reference to `environ'
/usr/lib/libc.a(getenv.o): In function `__findenv':
getenv.o(.text+0xd5): undefined reference to `environ'
getenv.o(.text+0xe2): undefined reference to `environ'
/usr/lib/libc.a(getenv.o)(.text+0x113): more undefined references to `environ' follow
/usr/lib/libc.a(getprogname.o): In function `_getprogname':
getprogname.o(.text+0x4): undefined reference to `__progname'

Can somebody see where I am going wrong?  This is kindof holding me back.  I
added the 'extern environ' and 'extern __progname' beause I get this otherwise:
(when NOT using -static)

/usr/lib/libc.so: undefined reference to `environ'
/usr/lib/libc.so: undefined reference to `__progname'

Here's what I have:


;; BEGIN CODE 

extern  printf
extern  environ
extern  __progname

section .data
mesgdb   'the number is %d\n',0
mesglen equ  $-mesg

errormesg   db   'libc error',0ah,0

mov  eax  , 0x1 ; exit syscall number

  END CODE ;;;

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Do your self a favor and read the handbook.

Probably the easy way for you is to reinstall, dividing disk the right
way.

that I have running right now so.
as a newbie how should I know which one is the most accurate?  Now I

The problem with the current scheme is you have only 4Gb or so for
everything apart from /home - I don't have KDE / X installed, but I'm
fairly sure KDE on it's own would eat up 3-4Gb of space without too much
problem.  If you reinstalled I'd say assign 20Gb to /usr if you're going
to use KDE.

Another alternative might be to get rid of KDE and try something more
economic - like blackbox or wm - although if you're not too comfortable
with the shell those might not be the best for you.

rm -rf /tmp

mkdir /home/tmp

ln -s /home/tmp /tmp

restart kde. then over time you will try windowmaker and never use kde
again.

Well, I didn't *try* it, I just read through dhclient-script.
I'll try to take a closer look.

You could always just create you *own* script (using the
dhclient-exit-hooks script, ideally) which sets hostname on the new
name unconditionally.
