It's a fresh install of FreeBSD 5.2.1 REL, installed the kern-developer mode of

-installed cvsup-without-gui
-updated ports tree using cvsup
-attempted to install portupgrade from port and received following error:
 

Ruby18 error
dependency warning: used openssl version contains known vulnerabilities
pleas update or define either WITH_OPENSSL_BASE or WITH_OPENSSL_PORT

I then installed ruby18 from port using make install clean, and then installed 
portupgrade, this time I received no errors.

 

Then I attempted to run portsdb -uU, and received the following errors:

 

core dumped ruby18 portsdb

 

What am I doing wrong here?

If you try type a make, the build process will tell you:
You may use the following build options:
WITH_QMAILQUEUE_PATCH=yes   enable patch to qmail to run a QMAILQUEUE
program instead of bin/qmail-queue
WITH_BIG_TODO_PATCH=yes enable big_todo qmail patch
WITH_BIG_CONCURRENCY_PATCH=yes  enable patch to qmail to
use a concurrency greater than 240
WITH_BIG_CONCURRENCY_PATCH_CONCURRENCY_LIMIT=NUMBER
(default NUMBER=)
set this to a value reasonable for
your system if you use the patch
WITH_OUTGOINGIP_PATCH=yes   enable patch to qmail to
allow setting the IP address
used by qmail when sending
outgoing messages
WITH_PRESERVE_CONFIG_FILES=yes  do not run automatic config
to preserve your config files
I'm not sure whether that means all of these options default to being on, but 
it's possible.  Otherwise, turn them on: env WITH_QMAILQUEUE_PATH=yes make

This is an ongoing issue with portsdb/ruby.
The way I see it, there are some easy fixes out there
0. install portindex
1. cvsup (as you did)
2. run portindex - this takes a while the 1st time.
3. run portindexdb
4. pkgdb -afuF (or what ever parms you use)
5. portversion -vL= (this dumps out the ports that need updating)
6. portupgrade -a (or what ever parms you use.

Another way: - this changes the default database (btriev) to hash
setenv PORTS_DBDRIVER bdb1_hash
then run your portdb -u
In fact, I opted for this one. I now run my ports tree updating scripts
as I did BEFORE these issues.

Update Databases from Webserver

2004-09-06 Thread FreeBSD Mail Lists

Hello,

I would like to see how other people are updating backend databases (postgresql on 
FreeBSD, internal network) from a webserver (apache,php on FreeBSD, dmz network) 
through a firewall.  Pretty much what I am trying to learn is how to take private 
information (credit card numbers, etc.) and write it to a backend database without 
leaving any huge holes for hacking.  Should this be done or am I barking up the wrong 
tree, should there be an intermediary step?  I have been trying to find information 
books/web that gives a real nuts and bolts way of trying to do this stuff and am not 
having a lot of luck.  Any pointers books or sites would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Re: Web browsing

2004-09-06 Thread Dariush

Once you install your FreeBSD system, you can use many
browsers. i.e if you install the kde desktop, it will
come with a browser.

You can also install mozilla (netscape) and or
firefox.

so browsing is not an issue but I would say that your
harddrive is pretty small. 

You may want to get a bigger drive.

Re: [Vinum-devel] loader.conf variables for vinum

2004-09-06 Thread Joerg Wunsch

[EMAIL PROTECTED] with FreeBSD 4.x]

As Bob Van Valzazh wrote:

 Short answer: don't set vinum.autostart

 Long answers: 5.x contains code to discover all attached disk drives
 whereas 4.x does not.  Hence 4.x needs to be told were to look for
 disks (that's the vinum.drives setting).  Vinum.autostart just tells
 5.x to run the discovery code.

Addition: the code to parse the name of the root device in 4.x is too
narrow-minded to parse a string like /dev/vinum/root, it can only
parse [/dev/]DDU[sS]P-style root device names (DD - driver name, U -
unit number, sS - slice number, P - partition letter).  Thus you need
to set the vinum.root variable so the vinum subsystem pre-determines
the name of the root device, and the parser for the root device name
will be bypassed.  FreeBSD 5.x contains a much more flexible parser
for the root device name, which allows each subsystem to place hooks
into it, and try translating a name like /dev/vinum/root into the
respective major/minor device number.  That's why vinum.root is no
longer needed under 5.x either.

Apache+mod_ssl + mod_php segfault

2004-09-06 Thread Vonleigh Simmons

Hello,
	I've been battling this for a while. I'm running FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE, 
apache is apache13-modssl, php is the mod_php version. All latest 
versions (cvsup this morning).

	The problem is that apache segfaults on startup when 
loadmodule/addmodule php are in the config file. Originally I fixed the 
problem by compiling apache without expat. However, after a portupgrade 
it stopped working again.

	Right now it's working with a major kludge: start up apache with 
loadmodule/addmodule commented out, comment them back in and do an 
apachectl restart. Somehow this lets apache work without segfaulting. 
However, if I do an apachectl graceful/restart, then it segfaults again 
and won't start up.

	I've tried recompiling apache, recompiling php, getting rid of php 
extensions, etc, all to no avail. Any help or ideas are greatly 
appreciated.

 gives a real nuts and bolts way of trying to do this stuff and am not

The most common answer is Don't do that

99.9% of e-commerce sites have absolutely no business storing credit
card numbers on any hardware they own.

They should simply run the transaction through their Merchant Account
(bank)  computer using a secure connection, and the software provided by
their Merchant Account (bank).

If you need a recurring charge, you can run your charge through the
Merchant Account as a recurring charge (whoda thunk it?) and the
Merchant Account software will give you back a unique transaction # to
refer to if you ever need to cancel THAT particular recurring charge.  You
would store only that transaction number, and *NOT* the customer's credit
card charge.

In the unlikely event that you really *ARE* in the 0.01% of servers
that needs to store credit card info...  Well, it's kinda scare that
you're asking here, rather than a security mailing list, but here is *ONE*
solution that may be worth considering.

I am posting to the list so that others can tell us just how inadequate
this is.

You should also be aware that by no means am I an expert -- I am simply
describing what has been described to me as the right way (tm) to do
this.

My information may be out of date.  (It's been awhile.)

I chose to let the Merchant Account (bank) worry about keeping credit card
numbers safe, rather than do all of the following.

You probably should too.

Depending on the current interpretation of existing laws, you, the web
developer, may or may not be held responsible for *ANY* damages that
result from your work -- no matter how faultless you may be in reality. 
We're talking legalities here, not reality.

Did I mention that you really shouldn't be doing this at all?  Good.



First, your servers *MUST* be in a physically secure location, with access
limited to *ONLY* people you really really really trust.

No software in the world will do you any damn good if a not-so-honest
person can waltz in and play around with the hardware!

If you *CANNOT* guarantee that the hardware in question can *ONLY* be
accessed by trusted individuals, than you should stop reading right here
and now.

This rules out shared servers, co-location (IMHO), and almost all
corporate servers, which need too many people of limited trust value to be
able to access them to keep them up.

Next, you need a SECOND server which will be used to hold credit card
info, and that second computer will *NOT* be connected to the Internet
(directly)

You put an extra NIC in your web-server, and run a cross-over cable to the
SECOND server, the extra one, which will hold the credit card numbers.

You limit ethernet access to that second computer which will hold credit
cards so that *ONLY* the one computer connected to it via the cross-over
cable will be allowed to connect.

The extra NIC in the web-server and the SECOND server are both on a
separate sub-net from everything else in your system.  IE, the only
interface cards in your entire organization that utilize the IP address
space in question are those two (2) NICs.

You then make 100% sure that you simply cannot get to that SECOND box from
anywhere else in the organization.

What is quite well-documented is that you use SSL (and ONLY SSL) to allow
the customer to get their credit card info to your web-server.

You then write some routines to get the credit card numbers from your
web-server through your second NIC to the second server.

These routines get the fine-tooth code-review treatment, by multiple people.

They should be mind-numbingly simple, clearly documented, and do the
absolute minimum possible to conduct your business.

You test these routines every way you can think of to see how they can be
broken.

You hire an outside security audit team to test your server and routines
to see how they can be broken.

You use something like tripwire to raise nine kinds of hell if anything
changes on the portion of the web-server that talks to the SECOND machine,
and, of course, if anything (other than data) changes on the SECOND
machine.

Under *NO* circumstances should the routines *EVER* store the credit card
numbers in any file, database, shared memory, or anything less transitory
than the variables of a single script, operating under SSL, on the
web-server.

So, in effect, you get the cc# onto the

I have some questions to get you started on the way to being helped.

1)  What are you using to connect to the internet? A laptop that you 
are taking from place to place? Someone else's computer that is 
where you happen to be at the time? 

2)  How are you trying to connect to the Internet? Broadband or 
dialup?

3)  What are examples of IP addresses that you are assigned by the 
DHCP server?

4)  What do you have in /etc/resolv.conf?

5)  What is the output of ifconfig

6)  What version of FreeBSD are you using? What is the output from 
uname -a?

7)  When your browser times out, are you trying to connect to the 
browser home page? or some other web site?

What is a win boot device?

Are you trying to say you reinstalled windows from scratch using the

That you lost your old windows partition and all the data in it?

Or that this win boot device thing fixed your hard drive so the

Broadcom 440x NIC not recognized on boot

2004-09-06 Thread Richard Lynch

I originally posted to -hardware, but no response yet...

The Broadcom 440x NIC in my new Dell Inspiron 700m is not being recognized
during boot.

FreeBSD 5.2.1 downloaded several days ago.

Install was pretty straightforward, though the post-installation only lets
me configure ppp and slip, and the help message at the bottom seems to
indicate that I was supposed to have already configured my network
connection during the installation process...  Which I don't recall
doing...

No patches/ports done as there is no ethernet...

I am reasonably certain the BFE driver should work for this NIC.
man bfe certainly makes it sound like it ought to...

The BIOS has a way to turn the NIC OFF and I have it ON

The BIOS also allows the WiFi to be OFF or ALT-F2 to turn it on/off
from Windows...  It is set to ALT-F2 (on until turned off)

I've been searching and reading docs for days now, so could not possibly
list everything I've read/tried, but I am at the end of my rope here...


I will paste below excerpts from:

  dmesg -v
  /var/log/messages (*)
  pciconf -v (prolly no more than dmesg -v, but...)

*showing my attempt to kldunload/kldload /boot/kernel/if_bfe.ko


COMPLETE output, in case I'm trimming too much, is available at the BOTTOM
of this web page:
http://phpbootcamp.com/articles/inspiron700m.htm
where I am documenting my experience in installing FreeBSD on this laptop
for others who may (or may not) find it useful.

Note that page is very much a work in progress at this time -- there are
quite a few links to be added and place-holders to be fixed.

Needless to say, anybody who tells me how to fix this NIC will be credited
there pretty much until I die, if not longer. :-^

dmesg excerpts I think are relevant:

You probably want to upgrade to KDE 3.3, as this is the latest version. First 
get the latest ports directory by using cvsup on your ports-supfile. If you 
don't have one, look at the example 
in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile.

Then read the 20040830 entry in /usr/ports/UPDATING. Normally when you upgrade 
ports you would just use the helpful portupgrade program (in 
sysutils/portupgrade), but this particular upgrade is an exception, and there 
are some additional steps. Follow the directions in UPDATING and you should 
be fine.

Re: updating code

I beg to differ Chris. Indeed all of us push people to the handbook.
But I feel tht its entirely OK if someone had made something
alternative and wants people to read it. But it would have been nicer
if Dariush said something like:

The official handbook is:

http://www.freebsd.org/handbook

You can also look up something I found at

His own link here

Re: Broadcom 440x NIC not recognized on boot

Could I have a look at your whole dmesg?

Also tell us something about your other hardware. Did you try popping
out the NIC and fixing it in another slot?

Regards
S.

 I originally posted to -hardware, but no response yet...
 
 The Broadcom 440x NIC in my new Dell Inspiron 700m is not being recognized
 during boot.
 
 FreeBSD 5.2.1 downloaded several days ago.
 
 Install was pretty straightforward, though the post-installation only lets
 me configure ppp and slip, and the help message at the bottom seems to
 indicate that I was supposed to have already configured my network
 connection during the installation process...  Which I don't recall
 doing...
 
 No patches/ports done as there is no ethernet...
 
 I am reasonably certain the BFE driver should work for this NIC.
 man bfe certainly makes it sound like it ought to...
 
 The BIOS has a way to turn the NIC OFF and I have it ON
 
 The BIOS also allows the WiFi to be OFF or ALT-F2 to turn it on/off
 from Windows...  It is set to ALT-F2 (on until turned off)
 
 I've been searching and reading docs for days now, so could not possibly
 list everything I've read/tried, but I am at the end of my rope here...
 
 I will paste below excerpts from:
 
  dmesg -v
  /var/log/messages (*)
  pciconf -v (prolly no more than dmesg -v, but...)
 
 *showing my attempt to kldunload/kldload /boot/kernel/if_bfe.ko
 
 COMPLETE output, in case I'm trimming too much, is available at the BOTTOM
 of this web page:
 http://phpbootcamp.com/articles/inspiron700m.htm
 where I am documenting my experience in installing FreeBSD on this laptop
 for others who may (or may not) find it useful.
 
 Note that page is very much a work in progress at this time -- there are
 quite a few links to be added and place-holders to be fixed.
 
 Needless to say, anybody who tells me how to fix this NIC will be credited
 there pretty much until I die, if not longer. :-^
 
 dmesg excerpts I think are relevant:

Re: MBR problem with FreeBSD 5.3 beta

Whats your motherboard make and BIOS version? Off late I have seen
some Phoenix BIOS incorporate something called Enhanced MEmory
Driving Signals which are necessary to make some DRAMs work
correctly.

 What is a win boot device?
 
 Are you trying to say you reinstalled windows from scratch using the
 MS/Windows install cd?
 That you lost your old windows partition and all the data in it?
 
 Or that this win boot device thing fixed your hard drive so the
 FreeBSD operating system boot menu F1 boots your windows system and
 F2 boots your 5.3 FreeBSD system?

 Ok,
 
I just reinstalled the my win boot device and obviously,
 windows
 started to run again... although the horrible beep problem happens
 everytime I reboot my pc from FreeBSD (whenever I boot my pc from
 windows,
 it resets normally!). According to my motherboard manual, the beep
 sound
 matches the one that is described as no DRAM installed or detected.
As told by one of you guys here, about the LBA, I just couldn't
 find any
 option in my bios to change this... :(
I tried to load my bios default configuration (in order to clear
 whatever the FreeBSD instalation has done to it) but the problem
 remained...
Does anyone have any idea about what to do?
 
 I just got happy when I saw you answered my question,
 Thank you.

   Even though I tried to use FDISK /MBR to rewrite the MBR, all my

   Recently I've reinstalled an old release version (trustworthy)

  Can you boot freebsd?  What was the beep code, you mb manual will
 tell
  what it means.  Sounds like a hardware problem with the beeping.
 Try
  looking for a boot disk image online and boot windows from that.
 I have
  5.3beta3 from yesterday, no problems.
