max concurrent scp sessions - and testing methodology for them...

[Joe Schmoe]

I have read several documents on the number of
concurrent  https sessions a FreeBSD system is capable
of.

However, I wonder how well this relates to how many
ssh sessions (scp file transfers, specifically) that a
FreeBSD server can handle.  Can anyone throw out some
basic numbers for this ?  Assuming a 1ghz p3 and 2gigs
of RAM, and assuming that everyone is transferring a
totally different file.  (so there is no amount of
cache hits - everything comes straight off the drives)

I would think the major bottleneck would be disk - you
would start chugging the disks far before you used up
all the CPU on a 1ghz p3 ... but what is the second
bottleneck ?  Is it cpu, or is it ram (or mbufs, etc.)

Would it be a reasonable test to just start up scp
sessions from the machine to itself and then divide
the number of sessions you can acceptably create by
the number 2 ?  Or is this somehow a flawed test ?

Any additional comments (kernel tunes, settings, war
stories) are greatly appreciated.

make clean all installed ports

[Peter Risdon]

I'm sure I saw recently on this list that it's possible to:
#cd /usr/ports
#make clean somethingorother
and clean just installed ports. A straight make clean in the root of the 
ports tree takes rather a long time.

But I can't seem to find the post anywhere. If this isn't the product of 
my feverish imagination, I'd be grateful for a reminder.

TIA
Peter.

i seem to recall having seen it in an onlamp article.  you may also have
seen it there.

just in case you're actually considering cleaning-up that way, you can save
yourself a _LOT_ of time by installing the portupgrade suite of tools then
simply...

Yes I have. There was also a thread already discussing this somewhere on the 
current or questions mailing lists.

A proposed solution, which worked for me and others was to run sync, wait X 
amount of time, and run sync again then shutdown.

Using xorg instead of XFree86

[Axel S. Gruner]

Hi,

i have written a howto for people willing to switch from XFree86 to 
xorg. Ok, at this time it is only available in german:

http://www.bsdforen.de/showthread.php?p=39983#post39983

But i also have some questions about switching to xorg. 

(1) Will xorg be the default X in future FreeBSD Releases?

(2) I have xorg running, without a problem, but if i install a new 
application with a XFree86 dependency i have to run "pkgdb -F" to fix 
the dependency to xorg stuff (and imake-6).
If i change /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk and the entries about XFree86 and 
imake-4 to xorg and imake-6, the change will not be permanent (cvsup 
will overwrite the change):

[...]
LIB_DEPENDS+=   X11.6:${PORTSDIR}/x11/xorg-libraries
[...]
.if defined(USE_IMAKE)
BUILD_DEPENDS+= ${X11BASE}/lib/X11/config/date.def:
${PORTSDIR}/devel/imake-6
RUN_DEPENDS+= mkhtmlindex:${PORTSDIR}/devel/imake-6
[...]

So, is there another way to fix that permanently or a work-around?

Probably.  It seems that most of the Linux distros have switched or
are switching to it, and the Unix vendors like Sun always were behind
X.Org anyway.  

There is has been a discussion on the x11 and docs mailing lists
covering all of the whys and wherefores.  A good place to start is
here:

Eventually something like what you propose will be added to
bsd.port.mk or whichever makefile is appropriate.  Until then, you're
going to have to maintain your patches in parallel to the ordinary
development of the ports tree.

On the whole though, you can get by without fiddling in the makefiles
if you're prepared to run pkgdb(1) to fix up the dependencies after
the fact.

The X.Org stuff is still considered experimental at the moment.  As
more and more people start to use it and it gets well debugged, the
ports infrastructure around it will be improved.

Cheers,

Matthew

That almost sounds like NTFS permissions to me.
But the answer is no, you can't. You can change the file owner, the 
group owner the file belongs to (so not two), and what the persmission 
for everybody else is. You can always add the users of one group to the 
other one, so that you have one group. Then you can chmod it to 660 or 
770 or something. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

I think relates to it is:

pci0:  on pcib0
pci0:  (vendor=0x1471, dev=0x0188) at 7.0 irq 10
I rang the Alcatel help desk and they confirmed there is no linux driver  
or FreeBSD driver. Would it be possible to adapt a windows driver or to  
use the Speedtouch USB driver?

Ok, fine. XFree86 is still fine for most of the users out there (and 
just a few of them looking at stuff like "licenses"...). 
So, i can live with a "pkgdb -F", or a temporary change of bsd.port.mk. 
Well, a second one, like a "bsd.port.mk.xorg" in the tree (which is 
also up-to date) would be also nice, renaming that one after a cvsup 
would made it a lot easier for the moment.

I doubt that will pan out in reality.  Depending on the number of files
and how much RAM is available, there's always some % chance that a file
will be in cache.

However, overall, it's not a bad testing scheme, as you're trying to
get worst case scenerio.

I would suspect that as well, but with fast disks, it may not be the case
(there are a lot of different classes of disks out there.   Keep in mind,
also, that scp is heavy processor overhead because it's encrypting
everything, so you may find the CPU bottlenecks the throughput first.

This dodges the (remote) possibility that the NIC might be the bottleneck
(since it's using the loopback) ... I would start the parallel scps from
a different machine (just have them store the downloaded file in /dev/null
to avoid the download machine's HDD becomming the bottleneck)

You can then monitor the "server" using top/netstat/whatever and figure
out what causes the first bottleneck.

The difficult thing will be that different hardware will bottleneck at
different places.  You might even find that different brands of the
same speed CPU bottleneck differently.

I'm not aware of any published tests of this kind of thing, so your
results would probably be pretty interesting to the community.

If I were to guess ... I would expect that your prediction that the
disks would be the first bottleneck is probably right.  If you upgraded
to fast enough disks, I would expect the CPU to become the next bottleneck.

How does ppp deal with the link loss - does it notice immediately ?  I
would expect very little latency if it does as it should be able to just
trash the existing queued data and continue using the other link.

I guess other connections suffer the same problems -- it's not just squid ?

It might be interesting doing a ``show mp'' or ``show bundle'' to determine
what sort of packet queuing and reassembly is happening after the link is
lost.

If the queues are large, you might get slightly better performance by
reducing the links mtu (set mtu max), but really, things should recover
ok even with a ~1500 MTU.

Pulling measurements of system memory?

[Danny Howard]

What's the easiest command to read to get good information on memory 
usage?  I played with "/sbin/sysctl -n hw.physmem hw.usermem vm.kvm_size 
vm.kvm_free" yesterday but I have the feeling that these are not the 
numbers I think they are, because they add up wrong.

There's some pretty good stuff at the top of top, but I'd be happier 
with output in raw numbers of bytes, to feed to my graphing program.  
This would also save the trouble of reinterpreting M into * 1024^2.

Thanks in advance for any tips.
Sincerely,
-danny

Agreed. I'll bet if you put your DSL modem in simple modem mode, you'd
have no problem at all getting that PPPoE link up and running. I believe
that it is worth trying ones self after RTFM for the experience, then ask
the questions when one is really stuck.

failing to boot from mfsroot.gz

[Richard P. Williamson]

Hello all,

I have a 4.8 system that booted from flash using a kernel.gz and mfsroot.gz.
The ethernet parts were not fully supported by the fxp driver in 4.8,
so I was testing 4.10 to see if they were with that version of the OS.

I've replace the kernel.gz with a 4.10 version, and the mfsroot.gz
is built using 4.10 objects.  If I try to boot it, this is what I 
get:

...
md0: Preloaded mfs_root "/mfsroot> 50331648 bytes at 0xc02b2794
md1: malloc disk
...
sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 in isa0
sio0: type 16550A, console
sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0
sio1: type 16550A
vga0:  at port 0x3b0-0x3bb iomem 0xb-0xb7 on isa0
ad0: 30MB  [490/4/32] at ata0-master PI01
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c

And then nothing.  Nada.  Zip.

No kernel panic message, no prompt, nothing.

Which leaves me in a bit of a pickle as to what to try.

If I use a 4.10 kernel with a 4.8 mfsroot.gz, it boots,
but tells me that proc is out of sync with the kernel.

Help?!

TIA

kern.ipc.nmbclusters

[Steve Bertrand]

I have a machine that is rebooting with the following error:

"All mbuf clusters exhausted, please see tuning(7)."

Which through google and man tuning I was able to figure out that indeed,
mbufs were exhausted. So I tried to set kern.ipc.nmbclusters=4096 (which
should cover the load of the server), but found out after it is not a
run-time tunable parameter.

I searched google, and gathered that I should put this setting in
/boot/loader.conf.

This is contradictory of me usually putting kernel tweaks in
/etc/sysctl.conf.

>From your experience, where is the best place to load this variable from,

Re: Squid, FreeBSD, Multilink PPP

[Mark]

Do you have a cache dns server running on your system, if not
start one add it to the resolve.conf pluse the upstream dns servers
then ## out the enable dns in the ppp.conf (you'll lose the ref to yours
in the resolv.conf each time you  reconnect if you don't).

SOunds to me squid is looking for a dns server that is not there, and waits for a time 
out.

You have to put it in loader.conf because that value is set _very_ early
in the boot process (before sysctl.conf is used) and can not be changed
later.

You can also put this value in your kernel config and recompile your kernel.

Thanks Bill. It is not completely clear which syntax would be right for
the file...this:

kern.ipc.nmbclusters=4096

or this:

kern.ipc.nmbclusters="4096"

I certainly don't need an unbootable box with 1500 mail accounts on it :o)

I just recompiled IceWM (with X.org installed), but it still doesn't

5.2.1-rel install CD hangs Tecra 9100

[xpi]

-or-
Idiot user can't find the any key.


I have a Toshiba Tecra 9100 laptop 1700mhz/256m, I'd like 5.2.1-rel on it. 
Think I'm falling off the directions about disabling laptop pcibios ..but I'm out of 
FAQ's 

Boot(8) sucessfully loads a kernel and displays the  boot menu, and no matter 
how I tell the kernel to boot ( no APCI ) we hang after this... Sorry no serial cable 
dmesg =) Tell me if we need to type _the whole thing_.


agp0:  mem 0xe-0xefff at device 0.0 on pci0

and then nothing, no disk access, no kbd interaction only zuul. 

The faq  has a note about disabling pcibios by getting '-c' to the kernel via 
the boot> prompt. I can't seem to get at that prompt in any way. The suggested 
technique is to hit the any key at the boottrap spinner cursor; but those keystrokes 
are buffered until the loader's menu comes up. (Idiot user can't find the any key, tee 
hee)  Issuing boot -c to the loader prompt gets me to the same nowhere.

 Help. I'm ignorant of the magick of boot(8) and it's gang.  I don't belive 
that this machine has a text bios meny to tweak hw compatibility settings. 
Hmm.. I should give darwin a shot that this HW .

Is your cabeling ok? Does it work on Linux or Windows.

You should also consider upgrading to 5.2.1, since a lot of stuff was
fixed (also sound stuff, IIRC).

Please keep the questions mailing list Cc'ed so other people can help
you, too. I'm quite short on time right now.

erk your mailer doesnt wrap at a sensible length (hint hint)
to get to the bios on all the tosiba tecra laptops i've come across,
(8000,8100,8200) you hold the esc key as soon as you turn it on, wait for
it to say there is an error, then press F1 to check the bios settings.

havent played with the 9000 series much though, so not sure what, if any,
useful options the bios will have.

If i get you correctly, you're trying to run a 4.10 kernel on a 4.8
system.  (?)  if so, you're really on your own here and destined to bang
your head against the wall trying to get this to work.  rather unlike
linux, the FBSD system is an integrated whole, not mix and match.

if you want to take advantage of features available under 4.10, you will
need to upgrade your system.  the process is rather straightforward and
there is significant documentation covering the necessary steps (handbook
and google are good sources here -- though do _avoid_ the advice given at
bsdnews.org)

if i've misunderstand your intention, apologies.

Perl Syntax

[Drew Tomlinson]

I'm using perl 5.8.4 on a 4.9 machine.  I want to add code a perl script 
to check for value passed from command line.  If it is null, I want to 
exit with an error message.

First I tried this and got "Use of uninitialized value in string eq at 
./test.pl line 20."

if ($ARGV[0] eq "") {
 print "You must include the file name.";
 exit 1;
}
Next I tried this but get "Use of uninitialized value in length at 
./test.pl line 20."

if (length ($ARGV[0]) = "0") {  
 print "You must include the file name.";
 exit 1;
}

I've searched the web and all examples that I've found indicate that I'm 
doing things correctly but obviously I'm not.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Drew

Strange. I can't reproduce this bug. All snapshots I'm taking on
a very active FS are still 100% stable. Since you're mounting the
snapshot read-only, nothing _should_ change. Anyone else experiencing
this behaviour?

Thanks for your reply.  I tried your suggestion and it seems to work but 
I get this output:

Use of uninitialized value in string eq at ./test.pl line 16.
You must include the file name.
I have "use warnings;" and "use strict;" in the script.  I assume the 
error comes from the "use warnings;" but why does perl see "eq" as a 
string and not an operator?  Or am I misinterpreting the message?

Thanks,

Unless you supply at least one argument to the script, $ARGV[0] won't
exist.  There's a difference in perl between 'not defined' and an
empty string (or zero for numerical values). Try:

if ( @ARGV < 1 ) {
usage();
exit 1;
}

or

unless ( defined $ARGV[0] ) {
usage();
exit 1;
}

If you do get into a situation where you don't know which cable is which,
you can always tone them. It's a PITA and works best wiht two people, but
it works. It's not a bad idea to have a toner on hand, because even labeled
cables can run into trouble. The ink might rub off, or you might
accidentally cut off some excess slack without relableling.

In the previous message, he mentioned using an nVidia geForce4. I've had
good experiences with a geForce2 in my FreeBSD 5-RELEASE box. nVidia has a
driver you can download from their website for FreeBSD, and I haven't had
any problems with it.

Well, that does tend to rule out a bunch of issues.  Have you tried
changing the MTU of the FreeBSD box down to 1400 or so (or even 512),
just to see whether that does anything?
OK.  I've had a bit of success here ...
By setting the MTU down to ~650, I get the best performance I've seen
with this setup (about 27k/sec ... which isn't too bad)  I set
"SocketOptions maxseg 650" in the proftpd.conf file for now, which 
seems
to help a good bit.
Bingo, found something!  All should be easy from here on out...  :-)
But I'm really confused.  Why does reducing the MTU improve 
performance?
I would have thought it would hurt performance by increasing the # of
packets, thus increasing overhead.
Using a smaller MTU normally does hurt performance, as you have to send 
more packets (as you've said) and because the overhead (ratio of packet 
header size to data size) becomes larger.  However, using an MTU which 
is too big means packets have to be fragmented and reassembled, which 
slows things down a lot, too.

Anyway, it is likely that one of the networks involved in the 
connection has a smaller MTU than normal, which means large data 
packets get fragmented, resulting in delays.  FTP data connections tend 
to show this more than scp does, as the latter seems to vary the packet 
size more: perhaps a result of using compression/encryption within the 
SSH protocol.

I did some captures using Ethereal, and I'm seeing a weird pause (with
the MTU at the default) where the client will send three packets, 
there'll
be a pause, then the ack comes back, then three packets, pause, ack ...
That rings a bell.  Are you using path MTU discovery?  Is some firewall 
in place that might be blocking ICMP_UNREACH_NEEDFRAG messages (ICMP 
type 3, subtype 4)?

You should try doing a traceroute which can do pMTU testing; I'm not 
sure whether the stock FreeBSD traceroute can do this, but a search 
ought to dig up something.

As far as i can see they look okay (but since it involves a lot of lines

Again the question: What does the postfix mention when you add smtpd -v 
in the master.cf (The upper smtpd option that is)

Since that gives verbose information it might tell you _what_ is wrong.

port upgrades

[Chris]

*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro*



5.2.1-RELEASE

I've started using 'portupgrade' to update several ports to the latest versions, but 
have an odd problem when it comes to certain ports.

For example:

server# pkg_version -v | grep Spam
bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63   <   needs updating (port has 2.63_2)

server# portupgrade bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin
--->  Skipping 'mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin' because it is held by user (specify -f to 
force)
server# portupgrade -f bsdpan-Mail-SpamAssassin


So I use the -f flag to force, and get several errors like:

===>   p5-MIME-Base64-3.01 is already installed
  You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again

I can successfully "install Mail::SpamAssassin" using cpan, but it never seems to show 
up as the latest version (always seems to need upgrading when looking at pkg_version).

Are there are two different ways to install (for example) SpamAssassin (and other perl 
related ports)?

I can use cpan OR the pkg_add / portupgrade commands but not both?


Thanks,
Chris

RE: em0 Intel Gigabit card, rc.conf processing on boot

[Michael Clark]

Still having frustrating problems with em0 intel card.
Here is a copy of the dmesg.  I have tried adding sleep statements
to the rc files, with no success.  The card still becomes active
after the rc.conf processing.

A pair of cheap walkie-talkies can also be invaluable for toning out cables

This doesn't answer the question asked, but it may be useful.  A few years
ago (and a few releases ago) I was working on a network box that had to run
under fairly heavy load.  This was a product, and we were not satisfied
with less than 100% CPU, about 6000 network stimuli/second, about 220
transaction/sec on each of five disks, etc.  (On a 1GHz PIII)

I discovered that I couldn't make the mbuf cluster number large enough,
and that the system was prone to panic under sufficiently heavy load.
Sufficiently heavy meant that we had tens of seconds of traffic queued.

The solution was to shorten the TCP listen/accept queues.  I cut them down
to six on each file descriptor, and used kqueue/kevent (then just introduced)
to schedule the work intelligently.  I was able to push the box to near
paralysis with 80% overload (most of it rejected because the input queues
were full) but the box always recovered, and it ran at 10% overload with
only a small latency degradation.

The max accept queue parameter may be worth a look; YMMV.

Routing problem in IPv4/IPSec VPN environment

[James P. Howard, II]

As a personal favor, I am building a VPN for a small business.  I
have chosen FreeBSD for this due to my greater familiarity.  The
project will consist of linking four sites, each with a FreeBSD
system providing DHCP, NAT, and VPN services.  I have built DHCP and
NAT servers before, but the IPSec and VPN is new to me.

Right now, the first two systems are nearly complete.  The two
machines are named goldengate and waltwhitman.  Here's the IP
config, currently:

  goldengate:  external 192.168.1.101 internal 10.1.1.1
  waltwhitman: external 192.168.1.102 internal 10.1.2.1

The external interfaces are in the reserved space because testing is
taking place behind a cable/DSL router providing NAT services.  The
output of "gifconfig -a; ifconfig -a; netstat -rn" for each will be
provided at the end of this message.

IPSec, with Racoon, is properly exchanging keys.  From goldengate, I
can ping 10.1.2.1 and from waltwhitman I can ping 10.1.1.1.  

If a Windows computer is connected behind either system, they
receive an IP (10.1.x.254, where x is the network number).  

The problem is, if behind the 10.1.2.1 firewall, I cannot ping
10.1.1.1 and vice-versa.  I assume, at this point, this is some type
of routing issue and not a problem with IPSec.  This seems to be
confirmed by the fact tracerouting to the local internal interface
goes through the *other* internal interface first:

waltwhitman$ ifconfig bge1; traceroute 10.1.2.1
bge1: flags=8843 mtu 1500
options=3
inet 10.1.2.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.1.2.255
inet6 fe80::209:5bff:fe60:e508%bge1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:09:5b:60:e5:08
media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP )
status: active
traceroute to 10.1.2.1 (10.1.2.1), 64 hops max, 44 byte packets
 1  10.1.1.1 (10.1.1.1)  0.848 ms  0.736 ms  0.783 ms
 2  10.1.2.1 (10.1.2.1)  1.173 ms  1.262 ms  1.247 ms

The other machine behaves identically, except the numbers are
reversed.  At this point, I have reached the limits of my knowledge.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, James

Notes on the output:  IPv6 info removed from netstat output.  There
is a third interface in WALTWHITMAN which may break off to a DMZ in
the future.  No descision has been made and won't be for some time.
The interface was given the IP 172.16.1.1.

Not to be disrespectful, but did you do what I've done in the past and
forget to enable forwarding so the systems can route traffic?

[EMAIL PROTECTED]/>sysctl -a |grep forward
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1

If not, make sure that gateway_enable="YES" in rc.conf and reboot, or sysctl
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 from command line to enable it without a reboot.

Mail Server

[Mike Hogsett]

I am about to begin the process of building a replacement mail server
for our workgroup using FreeBSD and Sendmail.

In addition to receiving mail from our primary MX and sending mail out
our SMART_HOST, I would like the ability to enable our users to send and
receive email directly from this server while at remote locations.

My initial thought along the above lines is to enable smtps and/or
SSL/TLS for sendmail, and the imap-uw port for imaps/pops.

I have read section 21.10 in the FreeBSD handbook, but this only covers
SMTP Authentication.

I have also found and read
http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/freebsd/sendmail.html and it appears
to cover most of what I need to do.

Additionally I want to integrate SpamAssassin into the mix.  I have
found, read, and implemented the SpamAssassin Milter instructions at
http://networking.ringofsaturn.com/Unix/spamassassin.php This appears to
work well.  Does anyone have any arguments about why I should do it this
way rather than the "invoke spamc via procmail" method we use now?

Lastly, this may seem silly, but how do I generate a certificate signing
request for my imaps/pops/sendmail servers?  I have generated a self
signed certificate and I can accept it and it appears to be working.
When I look at information regarding certificates at either Verisign or
Thawte I have only found information about web server certificates.  Is
there any effective difference between a cert used for Apache and
imaps/pops/sendmail?

If anyone has suggestions, experiences, or pointers to more information
I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

 - Michael Hogsett

How to make permanent in kernel

[Tuc]

Hi,

I had a problem with my mouse, and found the answer here :

 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/x.html#PS2-X

which says :

11.14. Why does my PS/2 mouse misbehave under X?

Your mouse and the mouse driver may have somewhat become out of synchronization.

In rare cases the driver may erroneously report synchronization problem and you
may see the kernel message:

psmintr: out of sync ( != )

and notice that your mouse does not work properly.

If this happens, disable the synchronization check code by setting the driver fl
ags for the PS/2 mouse driver to 0x100. Enter UserConfig by giving the -c option
 at the boot prompt:

boot: -c

Then, in the UserConfig command line, type:

UserConfig> flags psm0 0x100
UserConfig> quit



Which is great. The problem is, I don't want to keep doing this
every time I reboot. This is a FreeBSD 5 system. In 4 I knew how to
do it with "device  psm0at atkbdc? irq 12", but now not sure
how do this in 5. I see something about a hints file, but not sure how
it plays in, if at all.

RE: SASL and Sendmail

Your line additions/changes to my config file worked!  I don't know what
the difference was, but I think it was the AUTH_OPTIONS A part.  Who
knows.  My server seems to be working fine now, with LOGIN.  Now to see
if I can get TLS or CRAM-MD5 working.

Thanks to all those that helped me.  I really appreciate it.

Disk about to fail

[Tuc]

Hi,

Looks like my disk is about to fail YET AGAIN on my laptop :

ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51 error=40 LBA=25937067
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51 error=40 LBA=25937067
ad0: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51 error=40 LBA=25937067

The last 2 times however I found it was the /var partition, I
newfs'd it again, it happened again, re-newfs'd it, now its happening again.
How do I find out whats stored at that LBA, and either fix it, or do something
so it doesn't use that block or any bad block anymore?

RE: Routing problem in IPv4/IPSec VPN environment

[Foster, ThomasX]

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


Essentially, once the gif tunnel has been established you just need to
add an additional route for the specific gif interface from each server
to the other's remote subnet using the external IP of the remote subnet
as the gateway.  I also found that "gateway_enable" sysctl option was be
turned on for the packet traversal from behind a natted server.

Hope this helps

Subject: Routing problem in IPv4/IPSec VPN environment

As a personal favor, I am building a VPN for a small business.  I
have chosen FreeBSD for this due to my greater familiarity.  The
project will consist of linking four sites, each with a FreeBSD
system providing DHCP, NAT, and VPN services.  I have built DHCP and
NAT servers before, but the IPSec and VPN is new to me.

Right now, the first two systems are nearly complete.  The two
machines are named goldengate and waltwhitman.  Here's the IP
config, currently:

  goldengate:  external 192.168.1.101 internal 10.1.1.1
  waltwhitman: external 192.168.1.102 internal 10.1.2.1

The external interfaces are in the reserved space because testing is
taking place behind a cable/DSL router providing NAT services.  The
output of "gifconfig -a; ifconfig -a; netstat -rn" for each will be
provided at the end of this message.

IPSec, with Racoon, is properly exchanging keys.  From goldengate, I
can ping 10.1.2.1 and from waltwhitman I can ping 10.1.1.1.  

If a Windows computer is connected behind either system, they
receive an IP (10.1.x.254, where x is the network number).  

The problem is, if behind the 10.1.2.1 firewall, I cannot ping
10.1.1.1 and vice-versa.  I assume, at this point, this is some type
of routing issue and not a problem with IPSec.  This seems to be
confirmed by the fact tracerouting to the local internal interface
goes through the *other* internal interface first:

waltwhitman$ ifconfig bge1; traceroute 10.1.2.1
bge1: flags=8843 mtu 1500
options=3
inet 10.1.2.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.1.2.255
inet6 fe80::209:5bff:fe60:e508%bge1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:09:5b:60:e5:08
media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP )
status: active
traceroute to 10.1.2.1 (10.1.2.1), 64 hops max, 44 byte packets

 2  10.1.2.1 (10.1.2.1)  1.173 ms  1.262 ms  1.247 ms

The other machine behaves identically, except the numbers are
reversed.  At this point, I have reached the limits of my knowledge.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, James

Notes on the output:  IPv6 info removed from netstat output.  There
is a third interface in WALTWHITMAN which may break off to a DMZ in
the future.  No descision has been made and won't be for some time.
The interface was given the IP 172.16.1.1.

ksu not working as expected

[Kirk Strauser]

I've been migrating to Heimdal for authentication of the various services on 
my network.  Other kerberized commands (ssh, imtest, ldapsearch) work in 
the usual way, but I'm having problems getting ksu to play nicely.  First, 
yes, it is setuid on my system.

I currently have a TGT for the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" principal:

$ klist
Credentials cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1000
Principal: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm on the host "kanga.honeypot.net" which has a defined principal of 
"host/[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in /etc/krb5.keytab.  My user 
principal is present in .k5login in root's home directory:

# cat ~/.k5login
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
kirk/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, when I try to use ksu to become root, I get this error unless I 
enter a password:

$ ksu
root's password:
Sorry!

If I *do* enter root's real password, then I become root exactly as if I'd 
used su instead of ksu.  I'm kind of stuck at this point.  I have 
everything configured correctly from what I can tell, and this should 
certainly be a lot easier than, say, configuring OpenLDAP and SASL.  Any 
thoughts?

RE: SASL and Sendmail

[Eric Crist]

The idea behind this is to prevent the all-too common "Relaying Denied"
message when sending a message from a location outside my network.
While there are a number of solutions to this, from VPN to using the
local SMTP server for where I am, smtp_auth seemed to fit the bill.

It allows me to send mail via my server from where ever I happen to be.
Now to make this an SSL/TLS connection instead.

Thanks again for everyone's help.

Ports Base

[Lonnie Santella]

Wondering if you could copy the ports base of a FreeBSD server to a CD, then 
copy the CD to another FreeBSD server of the same version.

I searched through many docs on CVSUP, but didn't find the answer to this 
question. I simply want to streamline the constant building and rebuilding 
of FreeBSD 4.10 servers. Each time I build one, I have to run the CVSUP to 
update several ports, etc. This really extends the build time of a server.

I figured if I could simply copy the ports tree structure to CD, then copy 
that to the other servers, I'd save some time. I don't have enough hardware 
to keep a constant CVSUP mirror locally, I already looked into that.

Thanks for your advice.

If you're looking for silent the hush range is a good but slightly more

the inbuilt psu is cooled by a 60mm fan and it makes a fair noise so

I don't see any reason why this would not work.  If the machines are all
running the same version of FreeBSD I don't think there will be any
problem.  

This doesn't seem to me to be any different than building/installing
ports on host A and then mounting /usr/ports on host B from host A via
NFS and doing a make install of the already built ports.

That's a good point, but I don't make a practice of running NFS, and often 
the servers are at different locations - not connected via any network.

So would I be correct in assuming that I would copy the entire contents 
beginning at the /usr/ports level and all subdirectories?

Make sure you configure your kernel for both umodem and ucom.

I have a Zoom V90 USB Faxmodem, Model 2986L, that is recognized in 
FreeBSD 4.10 Stable and 5.2.1 Release as ucom0.  I haven't used it on 
these machines before, so I tested the following on FreeBSD 4.10

Connected.

Use at your own risk.

The tzset() alone doesn't fill the gap.

You need fill /chrootedplace/etc/localtime with valid local time information.

For syslogd to catch logs, the socket must be captured by it:
/chrootedplace/{dev/log,var/run/log}, depending on your preference.

Sure. That will gain you the benefits of an up-to-date ports tree. It's
important that you do this before any ports are installed on the system,
though, or you'll likely have consistency and dependency issues. Once
you start installing ports, you have the pkgdb to deal with.

Personally, I would just use once fast/well-connected machine to keep
everything up to date and build packages for all of the ports you need.
Then, just copy those packages and their recursive dependencies (via CD,
or ftp/sftp/scp).  It's a *lot* less to transfer and maintain.

I use something like this to rapidly deploy new FreeBSD servers. Within
about 40 minutes from an empty RAID array, I can have a fully-configured
environment, the latest RELENG_4_9 (or 4_10 now), up-to-date ports, with
our own base ports already installed. We do use NFS and a cvsup server
to make life easy, but, in cases where I've done this remotely, I only
had to modify a few processes to make it work over SSH. Due to network
and system speeds, it took longer than 40 minutes (2-3 hours the last
time I tried.  The client bought me steak and a pint of beer at a local
restaurant while we waited), but it was still just one "make all" once
I got the first root prompt after the FTP install.

Your mouse and the mouse driver may have somewhat become out of synchronization.

/var is typically quite a volatile filesystem; many reads/writes;
usually nothing stays for long. If you're getting those errors, it means
the failure is occurring in a portion of the disk you're actually using.
(i.e., blocks that are actually allocated to files). Try a recursive
grep of the entire filesystem and see which file(s) croak as unreadable.
:-)

Once, I had this happen, and actually found a 50MB file that was using
the bad region of the disk. The file wasn't essential to anything, so I
left it there. The rest of the disk still works fine. Needless to say, I
don't trust it very much, but at least the immediate problem is
confined.

If the bad space *isn't* actually used by a file, it's a bit tricker. If
you really want to track it down in that case, you could try filling up
your disk with files some multiple of blocksize and read them back in,
until you either get a hard error, or a consistency failure. Then,
delete all of the files that you created, except for the one(s) spanning
the bad blocks.

Note that *none* of these strategies are recommended where any data that
you care about is concerned.

Best? Get your data off the disk *yesterday*, in descending priority
order, and use the platters for wind chimes.

Milter and ClamAV

[Eric Crist]

Hey all,

Sorry for so many posts over the last few days, but I get on the
configuration binges, and it all goes downhill from there.  ;)

I've just installed ClamAV with Milter support.  I was wondering how I
would go about adding a signature at the bottom of outgoing mail to
indicate that it has been scanned?

Thanks a lot for all the help everyone on this list has provided me over
the past 8 years.

TIA

stop in make buildworld

[David Bear]

I've submitted a bug report but thought I'd ask here for any possible
resolution. I installed release 4.10. After configuring and building
my own kernel (just removed references to hardware I don't have in the
config) I decided to cvsup to releng_4 (this is I think the way to get
any security fixes?)

However, after cvsuping I go to make buildworld and get the following:

./../usr.bin/cc/cc_tools

I wouldn't bother, for two reasons:
1.  Clamav-milter adds a couple of X- headers to the message, saying it
was scanned.  This is what was in your message:
X-Virus-Scanned: clamd / ClamAV version 0.72, clamav-milter version 0.72
on grog.secure-computing.net
X-Virus-Status: Clean
2.  I'm not aware of any general way to add a note to the bottom of any
message, unless you ban all multipart messages and/or attachments from
passing through your system.  Your users/customers might complain
about that ;)
Personally, I think the idea of such a signature is just a "feel-good" 
thing and doesn't actually add anything other than a false sense of 
security.  Depending on how often you update your virus DB files, and 
which virus it is, a message containing a virus may get through the 
scanning without detection.  For example, I've got a copy of 
W32.Spybot.Worm sitting on my disk that clamav doesn't pick up, even 
though I submitted it to them when I first received a copy of it, several 
weeks ago.  Norton/Symantec, Trend, and F-Prot all detect the virus and 
try to delete/quarantine the file.

If you really want to go ahead and do this, read the clamav-milter manpage 
and look for --signature-file.  Personally, I see no value in it.

Richard

Exactly.  Now see what it does if you send a message with attachements, or

Gnome installing Mozilla by default

[Bruce Hunter]

Hello,

When I install the Gnome port, it installs Mozilla 1.6 as default. I
guess Epiphany 1.2.6 uses it. 

I have a few questions:

1) How do I get Epiphany to not use Mozilla and what performance hit
will I take for doing this, if any?

2) If Epiphany doesn't use mozilla, then what does it use?

3) Mozilla seems to be a system resource hog. At least this version that
is installed. I just need a browser that is fasssttt, doesn't mess up
the fonts, and is capable of viewing flash? I don't need all that other
stuff mozilla installs, such as, the email client, etc..

Any ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Invalid RealAudio(RM)files after an mplayer -dumpstream session

[Joachim Dagerot]

Is there a "fixup" tool or something faulty rm files?


I earlier got the response that mplayer -dumpstream... can dump a
RealAudio file to disk and I tried it with very good result.

I then created a batch to download a whole lot of RM streams to disk
which took some days ofcourse.

But today when I wanted to transform the streams to PCM I realise that
the dumped streams must be errenous in som way, I can't even play the
streams as they are, though mplayer does recognise them.




An example stream could be 
"rtsp://lyssna.sr.se/P1/Sommar/Sommar-040616.rm";

which I dumped using 
"mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile sommar040616.rm
rtsp://lyssna.sr.se/P1/Sommar/Sommar-040616.rm";

(It's long (90 -120 minutes) and takes up 20mb)

I think the performance hit will be that Epiphany won't work at all.  It
seems to me that Epiphany is using Mozilla's rendering engine, without
it, Epiphany is nothing more than a text viewer (it probably won't work
at all ... Ephiphany lists Mozilla as a "dependency")

It uses Mozilla, period.

Not gonna happen.  The complex part of a modern browser is the rendering
engine that has to take the convoluted HTML/CSS standards and turn them
into something pretty on the screen.  You could install something like
Firefox ... which is the minimum pieces of Mozilla necessary to be a
browser, but you probably wouldn't save much as resources go.  You could
install something like dillo ... which is incredibly small and fast, but
it won't support all that fancy stuff like flash and "perfect fonts".

Simple fact is that HTML has been bastardized to be far more complex than
there's any need for, thus you need a huge program, powerful processor and
gigs of RAM to "surf the web" these days.

However, I would surf through all the browsers in the ports until you find
something as close to what you want as possible ... there's lots of choices,
and one of them is bound to be reasonably close to what you're looking for.

clamav-milter already adds an X-header indicating it's been scanned.  I 
think it adds this to outgoing mail, if you've got it set to scan 
outgoing mail.

That's less intrusive than the "scanned-by" signature.  Could be less of 
a liability when an undetected virus slips through, too.

[OT] fetchmail, procmail and mutt (oh my!)

[Andrew L. Gould]

Background:
When I travel, I use access a home server via ssh and deal with my email 
using console applications.  I obtain my email from several sources 
using fetchmail.  I have a .procmailrc file that properly puts the 
emails into specified mbox files -- so far so good.

Problem:
If I put 'mda /usr/local/bin/procmail' in the .fetchmailrc lines, 
procmail puts the emails in the correct mbox files; but mutt complains 
that the files are not valid email files and refuses to read them.

If I let fetchmail put the emails into my system mbox and use formail to 
process the emails, copies of the emails get put into the correct mbox 
files and mutt will open the files; but I have to go back and manually 
delete the emails in my system mail box.

How can I get both valid mbox files and without having to manually 
delete emails in my system folder?

Here's the top of .procmailrc and the freebsd recipe:


MAILDIR=/home/algould/pmail
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/procmail.log
VERBOSE=1
DEFAULT=/home/algould/pmail/inbox

:0 :
* .*freebsd
/home/algould/pmail/freebsd


The other recipes differ only in criteria and mbox file name.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew Gould

My keyboard seems too slippery today. Please read the whole of my message
as: syslog expresses local time through ctime_r() which means tzset() will
be done via /etc/localtime. So, it's sufficient to set /etc/localtime in
the chrooted environment.

(The second paragraph is completely redundant; it's only needed to bring
the syslog messages out of chrooted environment. Sorry.)
