Encryption of login passwords--where and how is it done?
Where's the actual code that accepts the input of a password and/or encrypts it? I looked in login.c, but that only seems to call PAM or something; from that point on, I wasn't sure where to look. I'm especially interested in knowing how a very long password (up to the FreeBSD limit of, I think, 128 characters) is hashed and mashed into an encrypted password, but I'm also generally interested in the whole process. I'd like to think that a 128-byte password consisting of random words and special characters would be just as secure as a shorter, completely random password, but that's only true if FreeBSD is hashing the entire 128-byte string in some cryptographically secure way in order to produce an encrypt password that is a function of every bit of the plaintext password. -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
MySql Server Not Starting
Hello,
Done a google on this and come up with nothing. I had this problem a
week ago and found the solution but I cant find it again and its bugging me.
in rc.conf I have mysqld_enable="YES" also I have mysql-server.sh in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh
Upon boot or by running the script manually I get...
([EMAIL PROTECTED])-[/usr/local/libexec]$ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh
--start
([EMAIL PROTECTED])-[/usr/local/libexec]$
I can run mysql by using ./mysqld -u mysql in /usr/local/libexec but
that runs it constantly so killing the ssh session stops the server.
I know the answer is going to be simple but I still cant find a
reference to it on the web.
Cheers
Richard

Unexpected swap unmounts
Hi I'm running a FreeBSD 4.11 system on my laptop, before that i had 4.10 and it's always worked great, i can't think of any new major changes i've made or things i've done in the last months. Just recently it started unmounting my swap partition for some reason, i get no warning but i have started checking dmesg and see it happen. Only a reboot can fix it, i've tried doing swapon /dev/partition as listed in fstab but it returns invalid argument. One warning signal which i can see if i continue using the laptop like usual for a while after the unmount is that firefox gets killed, or any other heavy application. Of course this is a cause of not having any swap mounted and dmesg tells me that. As i had recently switched to XFCE from fluxbox i suspected it was too heavy for my laptop but switching back to fluxbox made no difference. One thing that did happen just before the problems was a lib issue after a portupgrade, it forced me to map a few libs to their current versions in libmap.conf but i had it running for at least a few weeks after that without problems, it is hard to tell though. This is my libmpa.conf file. = #firefox libglib-2.0.so.400 libglib-2.0.so.600 #thunderbird libgtk-x11-2.0.so.400 libgtk-x11-2.0.so.600 libgdk-x11-2.0.so.400 libgdk-x11-2.0.so.600 libatk-1.0.so.800 libatk-1.0.so.901 libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.400libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.600 libpangoxft-1.0.so.600 libpangoxft-1.0.so.800 libpangox-1.0.so.600libpangox-1.0.so.800 libpango-1.0.so.600 libpango-1.0.so.800 libgobject-2.0.so.400 libgobject-2.0.so.600 libgmodule-2.0.so.400 libgmodule-2.0.so.600 #file-roller libpangoft2-1.0.so.600 libpangoft2-1.0.so.800 libgthread-2.0.so.400 libgthread-2.0.so.600 = This is the message i get indicating that my swap partition is no longer mounted. swap_pager_getswapspace: failed I sure hope someone knows what to do and if you want to suggest migrating to the 5 branch then thats ok because i've been thinking of doing that.

In any case, you will need to have backup for this RAID. From my point of view, it looks like some version control management system. May be, it will be wiser to use it ? As i understand, you can't get this feature from plain filesystem. Even if you hack vinum to allow write only once in every block, usual filesystem will not work on such device.

It depends on how the password is encrypted and stored. A short, random password may be more secure than a long, less-random password--especially if the password logic discards all characters beyond a certain point, or doesn't hash the entire password in a way that maximizes the extraction of entropy from the password. For example, on a system that uses only the first eight bytes of a password, you'd want a pretty random string of eight bytes, like "uhhxuapo48", but on a system that accepts 128 bytes and pumps them through a message digest algorithm to maximize the amount of randomness it extracts from the string, you could use something like "tiles cloven thru *STARZ/, and zen pop-tarts conceal," and get something that is both easier to remember _and_ more secure (because it provides more bits of entropy if properly processed). -- Anthony ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you have completly random passwords then longer = better but if you compare "Lisa_Mueller_25_03_1981_Example_Road_10" to "45_!.23sdgsA9" then the later seems a better password because Dictionary attacks will not work. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Problem loading a NDIS kernel module.
Hello, Trying to get wireless networking on my notebook, i tried the NDISulator. After copying the configuration and binary files to the corresponding path at /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis, i created the driver definition header using ndiscvt(8). Then, i have build and install the driver module without problem: if_ndis.ko is copied to /boot/kernel and kldxref -v seems happy (kldxref: /boot/kernel/if_ndis.ko: 488 REL entries). But, if i can load the NDIS driver wrapper correctly (using kldload ndis), loading the network interface seems more problematic: # kldload if_ndis kldload: can't load if_ndis: No such file or directory Here is the kernel message: # tail -1 /var/log/messages Apr 16 15:05:46 boboche kernel: link_elf: symbol windrv_load undefined I tried this with the two available Windows versions for this wireless network module: win98/2k and winxp... without much success. Any clue or advice to get it loading/working?

Yes, you need a printer spooler. I use cups, see also /usr/local/share/doc/hpoj/setup-print.html for documentation. I mostly print from KDE, but from the console you can simply use /usr/local/bin/lpr MYFILE (that is the lpr that comes with cups, not the one that comes with the base system).

I'm confused (my knowledge of sendmail is getting stale): if the mail bounced, or double-bounced, it should ultimately end up in someone's mail folder, either the originators, or, if that can't work, postmaster's. If you have mail in /var/spool/clientmqueue, then it sounds like mail hasn't been delivered yet. What does 'mailq' show you? Is the undelivered mail destined for a local user (yourself, or postmaster), or is it destined for a remote address? If it's destined for a local user, you should be able to use aliases to vector it into the mailbox you want. See aliases(5). If it's destined for a local user, but not being delivered, then we'd have to look a little deeper...

Rule dummynet.
Hi, I use FreeBSD 4.X using traffic shapper with dummynet, I've some questions about implementation rule for my box, for example: I've 4 client computer let's say A, B, C, and D. I've total bandwith 1 Mbps. If client A online and the other offline (B, C, D), client A should get 100% bandwidht (In this case 1 Mbps), if client A & B online then A should get = 50% (500 kbps), B = 50% (500 kbps). If client A, B, C online then they should get 33,33% of 1 Mbps, If all user online they should get 25% of 1 Mbps. Dummynet can do this?, Would you give me an example rule?

Specifing this in rc.conf rpcbind_enable="YES" rpcbind_flags="-h 192.168.0.1" nfs_server_enable="YES" nfs_server_flags="-t -n 4 -h 192.168.0.1" mountd_flags="-r" the output of sockstat -l is this: root nfsd 398 3 tcp4 192.168.0.1:2049 *:* root mountd 396 4 udp4 *:812 *:* root mountd 396 5 tcp4 *:912 *:* root mountd 396 6 udp6 *:811 *:* root mountd 396 7 tcp6 *:911 *:* root rpcbind329 4 udp6 *:* *:* root rpcbind329 5 stream /var/run/rpcbind.sock root rpcbind329 6 udp6 ::1:111 *:* root rpcbind329 7 udp6 *:* *:* root rpcbind329 8 udp6 *:1023*:* root rpcbind329 9 tcp6 *:111 *:* root rpcbind329 10 udp4 127.0.0.1:111 *:* root rpcbind329 11 udp4 192.168.0.1:111 *:* root rpcbind329 12 udp4 *:808 *:* root rpcbind329 13 tcp4 *:111 *:* bind named 314 20 udp4 192.168.0.1:53*:* bind named 314 21 tcp4 192.168.0.1:53*:* bind named 314 22 udp4 127.0.0.1:53 *:* bind named 314 23 tcp4 127.0.0.1:53 *:* bind named 314 24 udp4 *:53 *:* ...

src out of sync or buildworld broken?
Afternoon everyone. I track RELENG_5 using cvsup that runs nightly. Today I've been trying to buildworld and keep running into problems with missing directories and files. First, build world was complaing that the /usr/src/sys/dev/ieee488 dir was missing. Couldn't find anything on google pertaining to the error. I cd'd to the dev dir and it wasn't there so I created it. I then ran again and ran into the same thing with /usr/src/sys/geom/shsec dir missing, so I created that. Now I'm getting an error message: In file included from /usr/src/secure/lib/libcrypto/../../../crypto/openssl/crypto/sha/sha_locl.h:133, from /usr/src/secure/lib/libcrypto/../../../crypto/openssl/crypto/sha/sha_dgst.c:70: /usr/src/secure/lib/libcrypto/../../../crypto/openssl/crypto/md32_common.h:132:26: openssl/fips.h: No such file or directory mkdep: compile failed *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/secure/lib/libcrypto. *** Error code 1 find can't find fips.h nor fips Any suggestions?

KDE not starting. Cannot start kdeinit
Hi all, I just installed FreeBSD (using a CD burned from the 5.3-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso image) on a NEC machine with a Celeron D335. I have xorg 6.8.2 (upgraded via portupgrade) and KDE 3.3.0 (installed via Internet as binaries, with pkg_add, after upgrading xorg). I then created an .xinitrc file by copying from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit into my home directory and adding exec startkde at the beginning of the file, after the first few lines. When I type startx, xorg starts OK, but I then get "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation". Kdeinit is in /usr/local/bin and the kdelibs package is installed and recognised by pkg_info. Any idea what went wrong ?

You shouldn't copy xinit and you shouldn't use 'exec' to run startkde. Just put only 'startkde' (without the quotes) in your ~/.xinitrc instead.

I don't use KDE as a desktop a lot (though I do use KMail and some other apps), but I've always had exec startkde in my .xinitrc when I want to use the whole KDE, and I've never run into any problems like the OP described.

I agree that this doesn't explain OP's problem, but copying over xinit to .xinitrc and editing is not a great way to get started. Anyway, there must be a reason why kdeinit returns non-zero in startkde, and my first thought would be to run /usr/local/etc/rc.d/kdelibs.sh to make sure it can find the libraries it needs.

Hello to everyone :) In an attempt to install FreeBSD 5.4-RC2, I encountered (except for many other things :p) the following problem: There is a disagreement as fas as the cylinder geometry of my hard disk is concercned, beetwen BIOS and FreeBSD. Sysinstall asks me to adjust it appropriately, but when I do so, the installation process terminates with an error: "Unable to find device node for /dev/X in /dev". I flashed my BIOS with the latest update but it didn't seem to help. In the same disk I have Linux and Windows XP installed. Thank you a lot, Stathis K. P.S.

If so I had the same problem, the only way to get sysinstall to partition it was to use the latest version of sysinstall from a fresh buildworld, the sysinstall located in /usr/sbin not /stand.

Acrobat Reader 7.0
Hello! On the Adobe website, there are two packages for Acrobat Reader 7 that can be retrieved, one is a .tar.gz, and the other is a .rpm. RPM files are normally for RedHat, and the other is probably a general linux file. >From your list of required files, I notice you list a requirement of rpm-3.0.6 9. Does this mean I should download the RPM version? Is there a reason for one instead of the other? When the package is downloaded, do I just use the command pkg_add -r acroread (that is, after I expand the file if necessary)? Or do I need to do a make install clean in the directory created by the expansion? I have been seeing PDF files created in versions of Acrobat later than 5, and they won't open in AcroRead5.

Re: Encryption of login passwords--where and how is it done?
On Sat, 16 Apr 2005, Anthony Atkielski wrote: Where's the actual code that accepts the input of a password and/or encrypts it? I looked in login.c, but that only seems to call PAM or something; from that point on, I wasn't sure where to look. Start with crypt(3). I'm especially interested in knowing how a very long password (up to the FreeBSD limit of, I think, 128 characters) is hashed and mashed into an encrypted password, but I'm also generally interested in the whole process. I'd like to think that a 128-byte password consisting of random words and special characters would be just as secure as a shorter, completely random password, but that's only true if FreeBSD is hashing the entire 128-byte string in some cryptographically secure way in order to produce an encrypt password that is a function of every bit of the plaintext password. Look in /usr/src/lib/libcrypt/. The MD5 password hashing scheme is found in crypt-md5.c (the whole password is being used, btw). $.02, /Mikko ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

From what I understand, 5.4 is the last release in the 5.x branch, and when 5.4 is released, 6 will become the STABLE branch for the next RELEASE. 4 still has a STABLE branch, and I'm sure 5 will after that, too, but the next releases will be developed on 6.x.

In effect, it is always zero, even when I'm sure the exit code is NOT 0. What's the problem with it? Maybe it is actually printing the exit code of "tput" which is always zero?

no freebsd-beginners list?
I went to sign up for the freebsd beginners list and got a response that the list was closed and I should use freebsd-questions instead. It seems to me that a newbie list would be beneficial to many of us. I see a lot of very technical questions here and feel that my newbie questions would not be appreciated, especially since I have not read through the entire handbook yet (yes, I'm working on it and I do try to use it to answer my own questions before I post). There is already enough traffic here (I know, my little rant here doesn't help with that) and I personally think that a list with newbs helping other newbs and maybe a few of you more advanced people popping in from time to time to share some tips would make things a bit easier for some of us to learn. At least then I would be apt to ask more questions and not be afraid to get a RTFM from the more advanced users. Then I could also feel that I've made some accomplishment when the newbie list no longer meets my needs and I can move up to freebsd-questions. Is there somewhere else I should go, or is this the appropriate place for me? Does it annoy you guys that have been using FreeBSD for a while to get my newbie questions taking up room in your mailboxes?

How safe is it to mount an ext3 partition?
How safe is it to mount an ext3 partition from a current (up-to-date Debian Unstable with kernel 2.6) Linux distro? About an year ago I had problems mounting my ext3 partition as ext2, even as read-only; it led to the corruption of the filesystem. Can it be safely done now, with an up-to-date 5.3 FreeBSD?

RE: Starting applications automaticaly
I don't know what script file starts xfce. I start it by typing kdm. Then I have an option of starting kde or xfce. There is no .xinitrc on my computer, but there is a .kderc in my home directory. I tried adding a line there that had "xbattbar &", but that didn't work. I also noticed that there is an Autostart directory under the .kde directory in my home directory. Do I need to add a script there? If so, what would this script look like? -Original Message- From: Dan Nelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2005 8:37 PM To: Brian Kinsey Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Starting applications automaticaly In the last episode (Apr 16), Brian Kinsey said: > I am using xfce on FreeBSD 5.3.

There are a number of problems with having two lists: 1. To check if a question has been asked before, you need to check two different archives. 2.

Most of the people capable of *answering* even a moderately simple question aren't on the list, so many of the answers going past were wildly inaccurate.

RE: FreeBSD-newbies shutting down? (was: no freebsd-beginners list?)
Yes, that was my intention. I don't see many newbie questions on this board so I was looking for one that would better match my skill level. But if the only people on the newbies list were newbies, and there was no one to correct the newbies when they gave inaccurate answers as you stated, then I can see why that list would not be a good place for technical questions. I guess I was hoping that there would be some people who knew what they were doing on that list that liked helping people learn. I will stay here if this list is for the newbie and the advanced user as well. I can see the benefits of that. I just hope that along with the RTFM posts, I get directed to where in TFM I need to R. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg 'groggy' Lehey Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2005 10:23 PM To: Brian Kinsey Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: FreeBSD-newbies shutting down?

FreeBSD system update killing PostFix links?
I have recently done a system update to address some security issues and discovered that during the update the soft links in my /usr/sbin directory were re-written back to the system defaults. I believe that I have changed the mailq, sendmail, and newaliases soft links back to what they should be, but is there a way to verify the postfix installation? Is there a way to keep FreeBSD from doing this during a build world?
