This is getting way off topic for [EMAIL PROTECTED] (therefore Reply-to: set to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ). Dasani water had to be withdrawn because Coca Cola's "purification" process resulted in the water being contaminated with unacceptable levels of bromate. Bromate is a potential carcinogen, although it takes long term, chronic exposure to have that effect. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/3550063.stm Result -- Dasani is a joke and rapidly becoming a byword for corporate greed, stupidity and the misplaced belief that all you need is a marketing campaign and that it's perfectly OK to treat your customers with contempt. All of which was a particularly dumb move by Coca Cola, especially as they only suffered from the bromate contamination by trying to add calcium to the (already perfectly good) water supplied by Thames Water. The ironic thing is that within parts of it's area of operations, Thames Water supplies what must be the most calcium rich tap water supply anywhere in the country. Unfortunately for Coca Cola that water is already on the market: http://www.chilternhills.co.uk/ Although it's noticably not present in the shops round here: that's because it comes out of the taps at about 1/1000 of the price of bottled water.

Labview and FreeBSD
Hi! I bought the latest LabView Version (7) under a restricted student license. To be exact: without linux support. The thing I'm interested in is that my LabView Version runs under MacOS X. Is there a way to get it running under FreeBSD too?

As long as you put the swap device on a (BSD) slice of its own, you can instruct Linux to look at that (DOS) partition and use it as swap.

atacontrol and SATA RAID
Hi, I've a Intel SE7210TP1 motherboard with Adaptec HostRAID and I've created a RAID1 array with 2 SATA disks using the following command: atacontrol create RAID1 ad4 ad6 The system installed on /dev/ar0 just fine and I played a bit with atacontrol detaching and attaching the disks. Detaching ad6 worked without problems with the following commands: atacontrol detach 3 atacontrol attach 3 atacontrol rebuild 0 But when I tried to detach ad4 (after rebuilding array from previous detachment) I got an error saying the array was broken. Now when booting it shows this: ar0: 152627MB [19457/255/63] status: DEGRADED subdisks: disk0 READY on ad4 at ata2-master disk1 DOWN no device found for this disk but atacontrol list shows ad6 there.

Compiling with patches using the ports collectio
I'm looking at adding some patches to our qmail installation. But am having troubles finding out exactly how i make the port compile using the patch I'm wanting to use. The port I'm using is qmail-mysql 1.03 we have a patch that we use to compile with it, that replaces the qmail-103.patch file. We also use qmailqueue patch. The patch we are trying to put into effect checks a text file to see if an address is valid before accepting the smtp connection. So how exactly do I make the new patch compile? Do I have to edit the Makefile? or just put it somewhere and it works?

shared memory
Greetings, I have acquired a mo/bo with a built-in video adapter. Being that I have 768 megs of ram, I _know_ I have plenty of memory to allot to video. BIOS doesn't pass this on to FreeBSD. I have two choices for x. I can use the VESA standard or I can use the S3 video driver (both come up fine, but theres quit a bit of chop when it comes to video processing regardless of which I use). I'm bringing up VESA from the kernal and it's giving it 16 megs of ram. Where can I read up on, or how can I increase this allotment? As for the S3 video driver, do I allot the memory from the kernal or is this somehow set up from the x configuration file? (I'm running x.org, although that probably shouldn't matter being that they pretty much seem the same at this point).

Of course, I know that built in video is recommended against (regardless of what OS is running), but I'm sure there's a way to up the memory... And I hope that theres a place that explains how it works in laymens terms? :) So far, I've re-read the manual on setting up x, for setting up video applications, various video app manuals, LINT, and many googles on shared memory. Mayhaps there's a man page I'm missing that puts all this stuff in perspective? If not, someone explain it so I can write one. :) Thanks.

sendmail just wont work
Hi I don't think i'll be lying when i say that i've setup close to a hundred FreeBSD servers(or 100 times) and the last one i setup was for a dedicated server customer but it has me stumped cuz sendmail just wont work on it, i used to get some localhost related errors in /var/log/maillog which i did not save. It did say something about Connection refused by localhost. In rc.conf i have sendmail set to NONE since it's not a smtp server, only a webserver and i have other webservers which have the sendmail option in rc.conf set to NONE but on them people can use the php mail function just fine. The issue is mainly that they want to use the mail() function in PHP but i've also tried just sending mails from the command line with sendmail and with the t argument but it never works.

Re: Compiling with patches using the ports collectio
See that was how I understood how it worked, but looking in the qmail-mysql directory on previous servers we've used, there isn't a files/patch directory. But what I did find is that in the regular qmail directory that does exist. So does the qmail-mysql port actually compile qmail and it's in THAT directory that I put it?

Resired features/wish list for FreeBSD
Hi First of all, I know that most commiters or contributors contribute their work in their free time. I am not asking for any promise but I just want to discuss possible improvement for FreeBSD. OK, after using FreeBSD for some time, I would like to see FreeBSD have these features/improvements: 1) OpenLDAP Integration FreeBSD has OpenLDAP support in the ports, but I think it would be great if FreeBSD support LDAP out of the box (just like Solaris and most Linux distro) There are areas to improve: - nsswitch (it's in the ports) But it only support passwd and group now. - naming cache daemon (nscd) Without this one, the workstation will query the LDAP server everytime with just very simple command like ls. A lookupd is in the ports but it would be great if it is integrated and/or improved. 2) A stable software raid implementation To my knowledge, vinum is not very stable in 5.x. 3) Java improvement It seems that the development has been stopped after JDK 1.3.1/1.4.2 for a long time. Java performance in FreeBSD is not very good. 4) Some nice ports are broken in 5.x Like tripwire 2.3.1.2_3 Regards Patrick _ 必殺技、飲歌、小星星... 浪漫鈴聲 情心連繫 http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=22281/*http://ringtone.yahoo.com.hk/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Compiling with patches using the ports collectio
One more question(hopefully) Has anyone had any experience with compiling the following patch with the qmail-mysql port? the patch is called validrcptto and the website is: http://www3.sympatico.ca/humungusfungus/code/validrcptto.html. There is another patch we have looked at called badrcptto which the site is http://patch.be/qmail/badrcptto.html. Basically I'm just curious if anyone has had any experience with them and how those experiences went.

Hacker activity?
I'm not sure if this is the correct group...but I'm getting some weird activity on the network. The security reports will show 50-100 attempts to login to a server, most as root but some are attempts to login to other seemingly random account names. The login attempts are through ssh or telnet, all come from the same remote server, and all fail. I'm also getting some odd cgi calls to a script on a secure ssl server. There's nothing that this particular script could do for a hacker, but the script is sent a random string, sometimes many times a minute, other times it's every 2 -3 minutes. I grabbed the ip address and blocked it, and about 10 minutes later it had moved to another ip. I'm now blocking a range of ip's. These don't seem like enough iterations to be very successful, the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of the server at this rate...

re: 7520 Chipset support in 4.x
> Many of the new MBs from such tiny vendors as Dell and Supermicro > are based on the 7520, and word is that FreeBSD 4.x doesn't support > it. Is support forthcoming? We have 2 Dell PowerEdge 1850 servers which have the e7520 chipset. They hang consistently in 4.10-RELEASE and below whenever there is high network or disk utilization. We have not been able to get any debugging info. After upgrading to 4.10-STABLE a couple of weeks ago, they no longer hang, but they are _really_ slow to perform network and disk operations. They work fine in FreeBSD 5.3, but unfortunately our applications do not run without recompiling. We do not want to change our environment to support different binaries for different machines, and we don't want to use 5.X in production until it is STABLE. I want to echo the above question. Are there patches available or forthcoming to fix the problems with the e7520?

shutdown(8): supposed to dismount all FSes?
Dumb question, which "man 8 shutdown" and cousins (halt, reboot) don't seem to answer: is incanting "shutdown" expected to unmount all mounted filesystems, even those mounted "interactively" (i.e. not listed in /etc/fstab)? I ask because I managed to embarass myself during a trial install of FreeBSDS-5.3RC1 (my first outing with FreeBSD, though I've too many years with HP-UX, Debian, RedHat, and recently OpenBSD). I'd mounted an ext3 partition for a quick bit of editing (that's where my grub config files were), using the built-in ext2fs. In cavalier mode, once I'd made the edits I wanted, I incanted "shutdown -r now", as you do. In its last dying moments, the FreeBSD kernel spat out a message along the lines of "flushing vnodes: 1 1 1 ... 1 1 1 giving up on 1 buffer" (sorry, I didn't write the msg down, and am reconstructing from a dangerous combination of memory and Googling for 'the sort of thing FreeBSD says as it shuts down' ;-). It seems reprodicible - when I umount'ed the ext3 partition manually another time, no buffers were Given Up on, and the next time I forgot I hosed myself again. (Happily the Fedora fsck didn't seem to think the partition was beyond repair ;-). If this is simply luser error, tell me so and I'll go away a sadder if not a wiser man. If, though, the intention is that "shutdown" should cleanly dismount all FSen, regardless of their presence in /etc/fstab, tell me so and I'll spend a little time (but prolly not till next week; apologies) characterising the circumstances more closely. (E.g.: I note from Googling around that there was a reported bug in the same vague area when a read-only floppy was mounted; I may well have had a CD-ROM mounted at the same time, which is inherently read-only (d'oh). But I thought I'd better ask first what the shutdown behaviour is *intended* to be...)

Does anyone have a >clue what might be happening or where I should go to find out? First, the term is cracker. Hackers are the good guys. (I know, I know, nobody else cares) There are two possibilities: an honest person has mistyped something and is connecting to your machine instead of one he has access to; or a dishonest person is trying to break into your computer. I'd bet on the latter, nobody accidently sends random strings to a cgi script. Often a script is running, attempting every computer on the Internet, or every interesting one. (It takes too long to try 4 billion addresses, when most don't have a machine behind them so they try machines that are more interesting) They may or may not be targeting you in particular, often they are just looking for any machine they can get into, meaning your not the only one they are going after. Here are some things you can try, in addition to what you have done. Not all of them will apply though, think about each. Take an old line printer out of the closet and have syslog log to that. This gives you are hard copy of what is happening. If someone does break into your system, one of their first tasks will be falsify the logs so you don't know it. They can't modify something that has been printed to paper though. Consider logging to a different machine on your network as well. In addition to blocking that address, see who owns the net block. If it is a responsible ISP and you send logs to the right person, you can sometimes solve this problem. It doesn't work often, but it sometimes helps. If nothing else it is harmless. If it looks like this is in the same country as you, or at least a country that is "friendly" to yours, you might ask a lawyer to get a cease and desist order. It is unlikely you can ever make this worth the cost, but keep it in mind. Make sure root cannot login to your system via ssh. This is the default in FreeBSD, but try to ssh into your machine as root, correct password, just to make sure. Read all the security advisories on www.freebsd.org (there are other places to get these too, some are better), and make sure your system is patched for them all. Do a security audit of that cgi script. Remember, better find nothing, than not do it and find there is a buffer overflow attack. Their goal isn't to get the script to do anything, it is to get your system to run their code in place of the script. These attacks are fairly complex, but effective. Ideally run your webserver in a Jail, but that can't always be done. Turn off telnet if you can. Nearly everything has an ssh client nowadays, so this normally isn't a problem. Basiclly what I'm suggesting is a combination of double checking the security on your machine, and trying to get them cut off. There is no One last idea: look up honeypot on google.

Strange file appeared in my home directory
I noticed a file called "regs" in my home directory (which is 21 megs in size) and I have no clue where it comes from. The file format is not recognized by any of the common tools. The creation date was about four days ago, so if I created it, I would have remembered. I looked at the file with the hexeditor and it seems to consist of lots of four-byte values which look like addresses on the stack of an application. About half an hour before the creation date there were numerous failed login attempts on the SSH port (all from the same IP), but my logs didn't show any signs of an intrusion. However, I suspect that I've been hacked. There was another strange occurence: Yesterday my internet connection went down without a particular reason. I tested a few other configurations and rebooted multiple times, and after the fifth reboot (with the usual settings restored) it suddenly worked again. There seem to be no unusual processes running, but when I'm hacked, I can't trust the tools on my system any more. Also there were quite a few crashes. Has anyone seen this file too?

Re: Hacker activity?
Thanks. Right now I'm blocking 66.249.6*.* on the secure server for the cgi script and haven't seen anything for a couple hours. The other intruder is a little slicker and moves around quite a bit. My interest is in the frequency, or lack thereof. Do they attack many sites at once, like spam, hoping to hit on a server that has a dictionary password? Rather than pound one server with all they've got? Distributed hacking? I can't think of another reason why someone would even try to hack into a server by logging in 50-100 times once or twice a week. You can't get root through anything but the console and 50-100 attempts don't cover a lot of password ground on the other accounts, most of which are locked down against shell access anyway I'm not really concerned about the activity, it would take eons to hack into anything this way. I'm wondering if there's something going on that I don't know, maybe this is a smoke screen to divert attention from the real threat?

However, I suspect that I've been hacked. Well, /if/ someone intruded your system, she/he surely would remove all possible evidence (unless it's someone *really* stupid). If your machine was compromised, I suggest, you take it offline *now* and inspect it thoroughly. There is a piece of software called "The Coroner's Toolkit" (TCK) which I think is made for that. More easily, you can checksum your system files and compare them with a clean install. If you have recent backups, you can use these at well. If you are afraid a rootkit might have been installed - I don't know if these exist for FreeBSD, but I wouldn't be surprised... - you should consider booting from trusted media and inspecting the system, since sometimes root kits hide the intruder's files (at least for systems like Linux and Solaris, but again, I don't think FreeBSD will be much different in that regard). There was another strange occurence: Yesterday my internet connection went down without a particular reason. I tested a few other configurations and rebooted multiple times, and after the fifth reboot (with the usual settings restored) it suddenly worked again. Mmmh. Maybe your provider just had some problem... Who knows? Also there were quite a few crashes. Unless you have a static IP, it would be quite hard for the intruder to get in again. (OTOH, I don't think it would be hard to make a system send a message to the internet upon connection) Also, I suggest to look through your hardware - I had lots of crashes for some time, till I replaced my power supply. Now my machine runs like a champ. =) In case anyone wants to know, the offending IP was 200.84.78.83. If it was a dial-up connection, that doesn't mean anything. Maybe it's also a machine that's already compromised. Before you start wearing a foil-hat, remember that all of the above only applies if your system was indeed compromised (how I /love/ that word, it sounds so serious...). It is after all still posibble that it's just... I don't know... something really weird. Sometimes applications will create such things for no apparent reason (from a users point of view at least). Of course, this would be unusual, but not impossible. Still, if you have security-concerns, I suggest you take the box offline and examine it. As a side-effect, this is probably very interesting. I wish you good luck (and that your system be still intact)!

It doesn't make a lot of sense It's an automated attack -- just a script run by some kiddie that searches the IP address space to find and break into Linux servers. It finds systems that respond on port 22 and then tries to guess a number of account/password combinations. I believe the vast majority of scans originate from the far east, as do the vast majority of compromised boxes -- something to do with a Linux distro popular out there that had a bunch of unsecured accounts in its default install. It's neither efficient nor cleverly implemented. If you've got good passwords in place for all your user accounts , or you require people to use key based auth to log in, or you move the port sshd listens on, then the scans won't be able to hurt you. Switching to exclusive use of key based auth is what I'd choose -- once you've got the keys set up then it's not at all intrusive. Plus you can use the ssh-agent(1) to hold your keys in memory, which means you don't have to keep reentering the pass phrase each time you ssh into a new machine, even several hops away.

I've never seen such file, my guess is that anyone breaking into someone else's computer would hide his stuff, but you never know. Google didn't turn any useful hit either. With this and the rest of your post I have reasons to believe that you haven't been broken into.

The ssh scans seem to be common. There's an automated tool out there with a hardcoded weak name/pass list.

Thanks, the log looks similar, except that they don't use foo, they use common names and mostly root. We have the servers secured, but it didn't seem like the method they were using had any chance of success, so I was confused...

Re[2]: Finding the Right Sound Driver ...
Hi Matt! Thanks a lot again for being so kind to help. My whole system is tonight a little bit out of order. It takes the system more than 2 minutes to boot and I don't get into KDE ==> Crash! Before this I tried to install some drivers one after another, but in /dev/sndstat I could see no interesting contents. Then I got back to the general driver (snd_driver_load="YES"). Since then the system does not work properly. I think you are right with your guess. But something else must be wrong. I must still say that yesterday FreeBSD made some noises in KDE! For me it was a big step in the right direction and it was just like a baby who tries to speak :-) I thought maybe I could make it "talk" tonight. Anyway ...

more on the dual monitor setup
Hey all. I recently asked a question about a dual monitor setup for my GeForce FX 5200. It has 3 outputs, VGA, DVI and s-video. I'm not getting anything on the DVI output unless I physically unplug the monitor from the VGA output and plug into the DVI. I had the setup as suggested, included below, but I kept getting the X server repeating too quickly. Obviously not a cool config. All I had to do to fix it was remove the screen1 entry from the layout. The message in the Xorg.0.log is as follows: Fatal server error: Requested Entity already in use! Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.X.Org for help. Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. I'm guessing it's not seeing this card the way I had hoped. I also did a scanpci to see if multiple cards were detected, which I didn't expect. I was right. I also tried rebooting the machine with both monitors plugged in. In this case, I get both monitors showing the same screen until X starts, at which point, the monitor plugged into the DVI port goes wiggy.

4.9 disk related system hang
I have a Sun LX50 running FreeBSD 4.9. Its primary function is a Squid caching proxy. It has 2 10k RPM SCSI-3 disks, 74GB each. It has 2 processors, each a P3-1400, and the kernel is SMP enabled. The problem is that every time I start using the second disk for anything significant, like logging or caching files for squid, the system locks up after some hours or days. There are no unusual messages in the syslog, it just locks up completely and unexpectedly. It has been running fine for quite a while now with the second disk mounted, but doing nothing. Can anyone help me find the root of the problem? I don't even know how to begin to troubleshoot this. My next step was going to be to upgrade to 4.10, but I would prefer not to at this point.

I think you'd be surprised to find that many of the more popular ones, are running on some flavor of either BSD or Linux. On the support issue, dummynet is supported by it's developer, Luigi Rizzo and he literally begs you to contact him directly if you locate a bug in the subsystem, need some questions answered and even offers his support under contract if you prefer. "3. Support If you have found some bug, please report it to me by email, but don't forget to include information on which version of FreeBSD and dummynet you are using, your rules (ipfw show; ipfw pipe show), your configuration (bridge or router) etc. If you have a simple question, again just email me and i generally try to reply as soon as possible. Again, please supply details! For more complex things (like "i have no time to learn how to use it, i just want this work done"), or customizations and additions of new features to dummynet/ipfw, I am available (through my department) for doing support on a contract basis. Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] for discussing details." As far as being "nowhere as good as you can buy", take a WatchGuard Firebox X1000 for example, they're pretty popular because they work. People that use them always tell me they prefer them to any *Nix based solution. By that statement, I know they've not really looked into that unit because the developers plainly state that it runs on a Linux hardened kernel. It terminates vpn connections, both ipsec and pptp, rate limits, nats and firewalls.

Most of the linux firewall/bwmgt boxes are just the same marginal stuff in the native O/S with a front end. Its better than nothing, but no better than dummynet, so no sense bringing them up. Allot's stuff runs on linux, etinc's stuff runs on both linux and freebsd. So it certainly can be done on un*x. The problem with dummynet is that once you do all the work and figure it all out, its still only marginally functional compared to something relatively inexpensive. So instead of buying the $3500 box that is everything you need, you've spend $800 on hardware, $2000 worth of time, and you still have something not nearly as good. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

5.3RC1 - /etc/defaults/rc.conf - netfs_types & nfsv4
I ran into this problem while mounting a netapp with nfsv4 during a reboot. Should /etc/defaults/rc.conf have "nfs4" in the "netfs_types" list? I know I can add it to the "extra_netfs_types" variable under /etc/rc.conf, but if it's stable code, then it might be wise to add it into the defaults before -RELEASE comes out.
