Hi, Can someone tell me how to use mutt to view freebsd-question archives I gunzipped the file and It's a txt file, so I think there maybe a better way to view it by mutt, I can view it's threads, but , can someone point me howto config my mutt to view this text file, thanks for any comments!

The files you downloaded are simply Unix mailbox folders. All the messages are contained in a plain text file one after the other. Use any other mailer you like if mutt is confusing.

Certainly running bind as a non root user is essential, as is clearly stated in the O'Reilly DNS and Bind book. However I can't see any specific instructions on what ownership and permissions that directory should have, although I don't claim to have managed to make a thorough search through that book this morning. I'd tend to think about these things in terms of 'least privilege'. If someone can subvert your bind process by some sort of buffer overflow exploit (say), then what damage can they do? You can assume that they've got a process with all of the credentials of the bind user. That means they can write to any files that the bind user can write to, or read anything which bind has read permission on. Using the chroot features of bind and setting file ownerships and permissions carefully will minimise your exposure.

Re: Linux program and serial port (5.2.1)
Carlos A. Carnero Delgado wrote: Hi, I have a little program , linux native, that I've managed to run thanks to the Linux compat layer. However, this program opens the serial port ttyS1, which doesn't exist as such in 5.2.1. The question is this: how do I make this program to open the serial port? (FYI, the device it should open is a random number generator.) This is a complete guess, but I'm curious whether it would work: You can make links in the /dev directory to existing devices by using entries in /etc/devfs.conf, so in this case you could add a line like: linkcuaa1 ttyS1 This works fine with FreeBSD native applications, so I use links like this for my old serial port palm base, and for a cdrom link. Whether it would work with Linux compatibility stuff, I don't know. But, as I said, I'd be interested to find out.

Re: beta4-beta5 diff
Sorry dude, that's (nearly) impossible, although your sources are BETA4, that doesn't tell anyone when exactly you checked them out. Changes are incorporated (theoretically) every minute so just from knowing BETA4 it's not possible to create a proper diff. You may consider using CTM, which offers daily diffs for download (check you local freebsd mirror under pub/FreeBSD/CTM/src-5/ ) but you need a defined start for that (which means a 88MB download).

Re: Ultimately Safe User Account
I have a production FreeBSD box. My friend is starting to learn Unix essentials and is asking me for an account. He doesn't require any special rights, but he certainly wants to be able to use shell and read most manual pages. He'll access the server via Internet, SSH. How can I create an account, so that it is completely safe to let him in? How can I jail/chroot him and do I need to do it this way? I want to limit everything: disk space (~500Mb), RAM (~10%), processes (~30), cpu (~5-10%), _internet connectivity_ (bandwidth is expensive and he must not be able to download much). He is new to Unix but I have to suppose that somebody very experienced can steal his account info. I'd be glad if he had only very basic ls, cp, mv, as well as sh and vi. I don't want him to have any browser or fetch-like utility. I know that letting somebody log in is already a security hole, but I want to minimize the risks. As others had pointed out, a live boot CD is the best way to learn on his own hardware without you getting nasty surprises on your own. Alternatively, he (or you) could invest in VMWare and let him have free reign inside a virtual machine. Personally those would be the two options I'd look at first...preferably VMWare, since a screwup is as easy to recover from as copying a backup of the good image to a working drive image. Otherwise you're looking at investing a lot of time and effort in getting quotas configured, bandwidth monitoring, jails, etc. etc...the virtual machine route is the best way to give a budding "root" a chance to learn with less fear of mistakes (or killing your server/workstation)...especially if he gets clever with ssh redirection of ports :-) -Bart ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Beside those on the cd, you should see the file systems available on your hard disk then, too. By entering the command "set currdev=disk1s1a" (e.g., replace "disk1s1a" by the partition name of the root fs on the hard disk) and entering commands like "ls" and "cd" you can try to look at the root fs to see whether there's something wrong.

I'm still paranoid about my own actions, not to mention smb's else. I'll give him cygwin/livecd as well, though. If you're somewhat new (even if you're not...)

No one I worked with was really familiar with SSH beyond the command line access...and they were impressed with X forwarding. Then I learned about port redirection using SSH, so any ssh-accessible machine on the Internet could potentially be used to see any other machines within the same subnet as the ssh server, allowing me access to some machines not visible with simple scans of a NATed network. Took a few times explaining how it worked, and it's come in handy for remote administration at times and the people I explained the technique to were impressed at the potential for this to be helpful as a tool (and as a potential security breach...)

Debugging a panic (was: )
Dan Mahoney, System Admin wrote: After recently upgrading to 4.10, on a machine that's known for getting 100+ days uptime, I got the following error on an unexpected reboot: [Panic] What could cause this? -Dan Mahoney Hi Dan! I'm no expert at all, but I'll give it a try... If you cannot reproduce the panic, you might face a hardware problem. Memory, harddisk, power supply, etc. are the usual suspects. If you, however, can reproduce the panic, please continue to read. Please note that the steps outlined below are things I did on a 5.3-BETA5 system. I might have forgotten some things while I have included other, unneeded steps. There are a few requirements to really debug a panic: * Build a kernel w/ debug symbols. Add "makeoptions DEBUG=-g" to your kernel configuration file. * Set up the "dumpdev" and "dumpdir" variables in rc.conf - mine are set to: dumpdev="/dev/ad0s2b" dumpdir="/var/crash" * If the machine doesn't aim at minimum downtime, you might want to build a kernel debugger into your kernel, so the kernel can drop into the debugger in case of a panic. At the debugger prompt, you can type "backtrace" to get a useful trace on how the kernel ended up in the place where it crashed. I've also found that you need to type "call doadump" to get a crash dump before you can "reset" the machine. This might or might not apply to 4.x, however. * If you're aiming at minimum downtime and have set the machine to automatically reset itself in case of a panic, you'll have to analyze the core dump to get a trace. It is my understanding that the instruction pointer listed in the panic message points to the place where things blew up. You can use the address to point to the line in the source code, provided you have built in debug symbols and you have a core dump. However, the address might point to different places with different kernel configurations, i.e. the adress you gave us only applies to your kernel. I also think that debug symbols do not have any negative impact on performance, so it's a good idea to keep them around. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. The link below [1] and a quick Google search for "Debugging Kernel Problems" will point you to documentation I've found very useful. HTH, Phil.

Change or add the following:
forwarders {
142.77.2.36;
142.77.1.1;
142.77.1.5;
};
... and then add a record for a domain.
zone "domain.com" {
type master;
file "domain.com.zone";
allow-transfer { 192.168.0.3; }; // This is your secondary DNS
allow-update { none; };
};
...Now you have to create a zone file:
# ee domain.com.zone
--- start zone file ---
$TTL 360
domain.com. IN SOA ns1.domain.com.
admin.domain.com. (
2004090801 ; Serial
7200 ; Refresh
3600; Retry every hour
1728000 ; Expire every 20 days
172800 ); Minimum 2 days
;
; Set the name servers to whatever was used when registered
IN NS ns1.domain.com.
IN NS ns2.domain.com.
@ IN A x.x.x.x
; Set the Mail Exchange record
@ IN MX 10 mail.domain.com.
@ IN MX 20 mail2.domain.com.
; Host records
; Core
ns1 IN Ax.x.x.x
ns2 IN Ax.x.x.x
www IN Ax.x.x.x
--- end zone file ---
... now:
# chown bind:bind *
# /usr/sbin/named -u bind -g bind
should get you resolving for your domain, as well as for external
domains. To start up the daemon at startup, add the following to
/etc/rc.conf:
# ee /etc/rc.conf
named_enable="YES"
named_program="/usr/sbin/named"
named_flags="-u bind -g bind"
...all off the top of my head, so forgive me if I left something out.
If you don't have a domain internally and you want to resolve only
external names, skip adding the domain entry and the zone file pieces
of this email.
Let me know if I missed something or it doesn't work as expected.

Re: dns-more than I ever wanted to know...
Steve,
Thanks a bunch! This is a great help. I'm not clear on the use of
allow-transfer. Reading the manpage for named.conf(5), I'm tempted to
leave it out. But, I'm not fully understanding the use of it. The
manpage says,
allow-transfer
Specifies which hosts are allowed to receive zone transfers from the
server. allow-transfer may also be specified in the zone statement,
in which case it overrides the options allow-transfer statement. If
not specified, the default is to allow transfers from all hosts.
I'm taking "which hosts are allowed to receive zone transfers from the
server" to mean hosts on my local network and the server is the DNS
server I'm setting up now. I don't want my zone information going out
to the internet (my isp), but I do want to let it in (of course). I
failed to mention that the machine acting as DNS inside my network
is/will be configured as a gateway. (QUESTION: I have vr0 and vr1. Does
it matter which interface I face toward the internet?) Perhaps this
doesn't matter as long as the DNS server is pointing to/resolving for
the inside (local) network interface (10.0.0.1). Let me make this more
clear. I have the following (typical?) small office setup:
-
ISP<--- monopolists
+
|
|
|
(vr1) <--- DHCP'd from ISP
--
FreeBSD 4.10 gateway
--
(vr0) <--- 10.0.0.1
| DNS,ipfw,natd,httpd
|
|
{... local network ...}
So, all this just to clarify allow-transfer. :) My questions go deeper
than DNS. But, I'm trying to figure out the rest myself.
Thanks,
Alex

You most likely don't need it. If you have 2 DNS servers,
allow-transfer states which other servers are allowed to receive the
DNS changes. This is likely not the case for you, so leave it out.

I'll try to clarify. Most of my domains DNS info is hosted on a
``master'' server. This server is responsible for telling the Internet
what IP's are for what servers. If you don't have a domain, then you
will not have this set up. Now, what happens if my master DNS server
goes down for my domain? Well, I have a backup server (secondary) that
contains the same zone files, so it as well knows about my domain. If
I make a change on the master, for instance if I need to change the IP
of my web server, I make the change on the master, and eventually that
change gets replicated to the secondary. Allow-transfer is like an
authorization for which IP addresses the master is allowed to send the
updated DNS info to.
I expect you are wanting to use a ``caching-only'' type server now. If
you have no domain to set up, then what is happening is your DNS
server downloads DNS info from the Internet. Client sends DNS request
to your server...your server looks up the DNS info from the proper
server on the Internet...DNS info is passed back to the client. Now
your DNS server has those records cached, so lookups after that of
those same domains are almost instantaneous.
You can play with BIND and set up your own domains, even if they are
not registered. Using my example of the zones, you can create a phony
one like 'internal.com'. No one on the Internet will know you are
using it.
If you want to do this, just edit named.conf as described, and create
a zone file with some names for you PC's. ie:
workstation IN A 10.0.0.10 ; your computer
gateway IN A 10.0.0.1
filesrv IN A 10.0.0.20
Note that anything after ; is a comment.
Now, once your pc's are pointing DNS at the new box, you will be able
to ping your inside network by name, AND IP.
You got it right. Unless firewalled off, bind will listen by default
on all Interfaces, but point the clients to 10.0.0.1 as the DNS
server.
Hope I was able to clarify not too badly. I'm very busy today, so I'm
rushed to reply so forgive any errors, omissions and/or bad
clarification. If you have more questions, fire away.

Re: file permission question
/etc/passwd (probably really /etc/pwd.db) are used for several user-land programs including 'ls'. It's highly recommended that /etc/passwd stay readable to the world. Btw, the output of 'ps' can be easily reconstructed via access to the /proc filesystem. You can unmount this partition, but ps will operate differently. With /proc unmounted, you can still get a process listing for everyone - you can disable this by setting the sysctl kern.ps_showallprocs to 0.

Re: too many dynamic rules
Hello, The man page of ipfw says: net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets: 256 net.inet.ip.fw.curr_dyn_buckets: 256 The configured and current size of the hash table used to hold dynamic rules. This must be a power of 2. The table can only be resized when empty, so in order to resize it on the fly you will probably have to flush and reload the ruleset. These are the standard kernel variabeles for the hash table size, In your config you should increase these values until you don't get the messages anymore. But, It wont't do any harm to look with tcpdump what is causing the state table to overflow, since these rules should be discarded after a while, and it looks like that doesn't happen. I myself use ipf/ipnat so I'm not so familliar with ipfw ruleset, maybe someone can find something weird in these what is causing that ? You can set these values using sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets= and sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fw.curr_dyn_buckets=. Keep in mind that this can't be done when the firewall is running, so you should flush it first, apply the changes and load the rules again.

If you're going to run software written by Joe Random Coder, there's always an element of risk. There's nothing about the FreeBSD ports collection which increases this risk, and in fact it makes the situation slightly safer since we check all "spontaneous" changes in the md5 checksum of a distfile where the distfile changes with no change in the software version (e.g. once a few years ago someone broke into the main ftp server for the tcp_wrappers package, and added backdoor code to it. The compromised software could not be installed from the FreeBSD port unless you manually issued an override of the checksum). We have also found several isolated instances where software authors had 'spyware' code which reports details back to the author; these ports were summarily removed from the ports collection, again making things safer for the end user. Thirdly, since you have the source code you are free to examine it for yourself and evaluate your level of risk according to whichever criteria you choose.

Hmmm... you are almost reinventing the concept of jail(8) here, which might be a better solution for you. The main difference from what you're doing is that a jailed sshd process would get it's own separate IP number. Some things you might find usefull: i) Copy /dev/MAKEDEV into your chrooted area and use that to create the device files you need: cp -p /dev/MAKEDEV /home/chrootuser/dev sh /home/chrootuser/dev/MAKEDEV jail --- the `jail' target should get you an appropriate set of devices. ii) Set up an additional logging socket in your chroot area and modify your syslogd flags to pick up syslog messages from there. You'll also need a copy of /etc/localtime in the chroot area so that your syslog messages get the correct timestamp.: mkdir -p /home/chrootuser/var/run cp -p /etc/localtime /home/chrootuser/etc/localtime cp /etc/rc.conf /etc/rc.conf.bak echo 'syslogd_flags="-s -l /home/chrootuser/var/run/log"' >> /etc/rc.conf kill `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid` /usr/sbin/syslogd -s -l /home/chrootuser/var/run/log You can then turn up the logging level in /home/chrootuser/etc/ssh/sshd_config by altering the LogLevel value: a LogLevel of DEBUG3 will give you a great deal of output showing a blow by blow account of just about everything the sshd does. iii) Make sure you can resolve addresses in the DNS from your chroot environment. It should be sufficient to copy over /etc/resolv.conf cp -p /etc/resolv.conf /home/chrootuser/etc/resolv.conf iv) If you want to be able to run ps(1) from the chroot area, then you need to mount a procfs(5) file system inside your chroot area. This isn't really necessary for sshd to operate correctly though: cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak cat <>/etc/fstab proc/home/chrootuser/proc procfs rw 0 0 EOF mount /home/chrootuser/proc cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Tel: +44 1628 476614 Marlow Fax: +44 0870 0522645 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You can set CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf, and those optimizations/machine types will be used at build time. Whether that makes a difference to you is up to you. You can also set build options to change the location where the executables live - though that tends to cause some ports to fail - or specify what parts of the package you do/don't want built.

Create a subset of the passwd file with the user, group, and home
directory only:
# cut -f1,4,6 -d: /etc/passwd | grep /home/ | sed -e 's/:/ /g' > /tmp/pw
Create the directory tree. You need the '-p' flag in mkdir if you
have multiple levels of directories under /home:
# awk '{print "mkdir -p", $3}' /tmp/pw | sh
Next, set permissions. Use 750 instead of 755 if you don't want
world read access to user's home directories:
# awk '{print "chmod 755", $3}' /tmp/pw | sh
If you want to populate the home directories with some default dot files
(.profile, etc) you can do something like
# cd /etc/skel
# awk '{print "find . -print | cpio -pdum", $3}' /tmp/pw
Finally, set ownerships. This assumes you want the user's home
directory and files owned by the user and the default user's group:
# awk '{print "chown -R", $1"."$2, $3}' /tmp/pw | sh
# rm /tmp/pw

If you are installing a port a second time, "make install" will refuse to install the port because it's already installed. If you are installing an updated port, then the pkg-data will be in a different place because the port has a different name.

Of course. The main issue is that since each device on SCSI can negotiate its own speed with the controller, an ancient SCSI tape drive with a 5MB/sec write speed that negotiated a 10MB/sec bus speed with the controller could tie up the SCSI bus 50% of the time just to transfer data. If the server is trying to do other stuff while a backup is running it can degrade performance noticeably. If your tape drive really is LVD-capable, it's not an issue. Even a 15MB/sec drive will only tie up 20% of the SCSI bus bandwidth at full speed, assuming it negotiated an LVD-80 connection to the server. > I think all drives are lvd AND I know I have an active lvd terminator > -- it cost me $30! But, I do have cdrom ron the 50 pin bus. It is > terminated using the cdrom internal terminator. I wonder... On the 29160 cards, the internal SE plugs are searated from the LVD/SE plugs by a bridge chip, so your cdrom should not affect your other devices' ability to negotiate LVD mode on their segment of the cable. You may want to explicitly tell your controller to terminate the top 8 bits of the bus only; sometimes the autodetect setting doesn't work. Running "camcontrol inq da0" (then cd0, then sa0) will tell you what speed each device negotiated with the controller. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This is what I did, and it seems to work. (I'd be grateful if someone pointed out anything I did wrong. Part of it was gotten from a post by someone else, and the rest I figured out, for better or worse, on my own. cvsup ports to make sure you have 3.4. Make install. Edit /etc/rc.conf Change enable_sshd="YES" to a "NO" add the line sshd_program="/usr/local/sbin/ssshd" In /usr/local/etc/rc.d you'll find that it's put a script called sshd.sh.sample. Rename that to sshd.sh You've probably seen the various advisories that suggest taking the ChallengeResponse line and changing it to no (and uncomment it as well) Lastly, until I renamed /usr/sbin/sshd, it kept giving me the old version number--so, stop sshd, and rename /usr/sbin/sshd to something else.

Re: chroot
How very interesting... For a start, you can't copy devices with "cp"--you need something smarter like "tar", "cpio", ... Pretty much anything that could be used for backups should understand the niceties of copying a device. As an alternative you could use "mknod" to create them. Here is how to do it with cpio: cd /dev find null random urandom -print | cpio -pdmuv /home/chrootuser/dev/ and then compare the results with ls -l to make sure you're happy. Specifically, using "cp" to copy /dev/null is a method of creating a new empty file, or completely emptying out an existing file. Secondly, are you sure you weren't connected? If you could use control-d to terminate the connection it looks to me like you were connected but had no prompt. Control-d is an "end of file" indicator; when you give it to a shell that means "there are no more commands". Since the sole purpose of a shell is to let you execute commands, this results in it terminating (as it does for any program that primarily processes input). However "end of file" is only meaningful if it's read by something. It doesn't generate any sort of "signal" to catch the attention of a hung program. Try connecting again and typing a command that should work, like "/bin/ls /bin" or even something more basic like "set" (which is builtin to all the shells). If you get something, you're connected.

Create a subset of the passwd file with the user, group, and home
directory only:
# cut -f1,4,6 -d: /etc/passwd | grep /home/ | sed -e 's/:/ /g' > /tmp/pw
Create the directory tree. You need the '-p' flag in mkdir if you
have multiple levels of directories under /home:
# awk '{print "mkdir -p", $3}' /tmp/pw | sh
Next, set permissions. Use 750 instead of 755 if you don't want
world read access to user's home directories:
# awk '{print "chmod 755", $3}' /tmp/pw | sh
If you want to populate the home directories with some default dot files
(.profile, etc) you can do something like
# cd /etc/skel
# awk '{print "find . -print | cpio -pdum", $3}' /tmp/pw
Finally, set ownerships. This assumes you want the user's home
directory and files owned by the user and the default user's group:
# awk '{print "chown -R", $1"."$2, $3}' /tmp/pw | sh
# rm /tmp/pw

Where the real gains are to be made is with the command set cleanup being undertaken with SATA. Useful multitasking features from SCSI are working their way into the 2nd generation of SATA drives. SATA uses a nice small cable and connector.

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

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

please educate me on memory usage
I was looking at my top output and was surprised to see that the bulk of my 512 MB of memory was in use, since the server really has fairly little running. It's not a problem, but I was wanting some clarification on where this memory was being used, for my own education. The original goal was that I had figured that a lot of memory would be unused since so little is running, and perhaps I could allocate some more to Postgres. Apparently nowt, but I don't quite understand all the intricacies of what *is* using my memory. 35 processes: 1 running, 34 sleeping CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 100% idle Mem: 158M Active, 207M Inact, 80M Wired, 20M Cache, 60M Buf, 33M Free Swap: 2000M Total, 6848K Used, 1994M Free So, 158 MB of memory in use. Does that include anything other than process' memory, e.g. shared memory, kernel memory, some of the fs buffer? If I add up the VSZ column from 'ps aux' I get 110 MB. The server's only processes of interest are MySQL, Postgres, and Apache httpd. There are cron, sendmail, etc. but these are all <1M usage according to both top and ps. MySQL has VSZ 38 MB and RSS 4 MB. Postgres (incl stats collectors) has VSZ 25 MB and RSS <1 MB. There's also the shared memory: ipcs agrees with my postgresql.conf settings: 2 MB of shared memory buffers. Apache 1.3 has 15 processes, each using 3.6 MB VSZ and 1.5 MB RSS. I was of the impression that the bulk of this memory was shared with the parent process, no? So where's the rest of the memory going? The 80M Wired is interesting, since I don't know where it's going. I presume that PG's 2 MB of shared buffers are wired (though I saw an email today that implied otherwise), but how could I track down the rest of it? __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I'm looking for a brief (1-2 page) introduction to kernel modules - what they are, how they work, trade-off vs complied-in devices, etc..

Nope -- spamass-milter & spamd works just fine for me with sendmail-8.13.1 As far as I can tell, you're doing everything right.

problems getting packets thru on router/wireless access point
I have a freebsd router [5.2.1] setup at home running ipf/ipnat. everything seems to be working fine for getting out to the internet, and accessing the box from the outside. I'm trying to also make this system a wireless access point. Following the steps in the handbook, i installed a wi0 card, and bridged it to the internal interface on the router. Everything seems to be setup probably, and my ethernet connections still work fine. But I cant get to the internet using a wireless nic on my laptop. The laptop is able to connect to the network, and I can even ping -other- systems on the network [connected thru ethernet], but I cant ping the server or access the internet. The server isnt able to see any wireless clients. At first had ipfilter set default to block, i recompiled the kernel on the server with default to pass, but that didnt seem to change anything for the wireless. I've had this setup working before on a 4.x system. when i run tcpdump -i wi0 on the server and try to access a website from a wireless client, i get: 10:22:51.155344 arp who-has 192.168.1.1 tell 192.168.1.11 but pinging one of the other wired clients from a wireless client gets the expected icmp echo request and reply. Im scratching my head on this one. Im having a hard time finding information pertaining to systems that are combining a firewall router and wireless access point into one system. network layout dsl modem | | freebsd router and WAP-- | | | | wired wireless clients clients any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated. and if you could please CC me, I'm not on the list. thanks ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

FreeBSD 5.x SMP--> QUAD XEON SCALABILITY QUESTION
Posted to freebsd-smp but didn't get too many replies, so I apologize for cross posting ahead of time. Need to configure groupware server and multiprotocol wireless proxy for aproximatly 2500 accounts. Application is heavily multi threaded and willrequire alot of CPU power. The OS will be FreeBSD 5.x Thinking of going with ServerWorks* Grand Champion HE quad xeon server board. Has anyone had any SMP experience with quad xeon systems on freebsd 5.x??? I'm curious to know if anyone experienced any major technical stumbling blocks. I guess I also want to know how well Freebsd 5.x will scale on a 4 proc. Will freeBSD 5.x utilize a quad xeon board as efficiently as linux2.6 system???

Hey, I think it's pretty cool.
I'm still going to make suggestions, though:
- add just a touch of very deep, glowing red to Beastie; enough that the black
of the irises of the eyes and the typical grin have enough contrast to be more
visible
- "The new daemons unleashed" is missing an apostrophe ('): "The new daemon is
unleashed" becomes "daemon's unleashed". Frankly, however, I'd suggest
something like: "The new daemon: UNLEASHED!"
I might put that under the center and maybe a little bigger, rather than
scrunched to the far right under the "5.3". After all, there's a lot of space
available to play with, although only if what is now a very clean and minimal
design doesn't become cluttered up. I'd give it a thumbs-up.

Boot manager problem
Hello guys! I have 2 partitions on my hard drive (ad0) one with Windows XP, the other one with FreeBSD 5.0. Like usual I had problems with windows and I had to format the first partition and reinstall windows. But as you know the instalation deleted the FreeBSD boot manager. I rebooted with a FreeBSD cd and typed "fdisk -b /boot/boot0 ad0" which indeed brought the boot manager back but even now when I press F2 ( the key assigned to FreeBSD) it beeps instead of booting the system.
