IPFW, NAT, jailed MySQL connection problem.

[Daniel Nystrom]

Hi,

I seem to have stumbled upon a tiny problem that just will not go
away. I was hoping there would be an answer somewhere before I put my
deep-into-the-dirt-boots on.

The software setup of the problem:
FreeBSD 5.4 Release
ipfw
natd
named
jail
Mysql 4.1 Server
Mysql 4.1 client

Hardware
1 external NIC (192.168.101.12)
1 internal NIC (192.168.1.1)
1 internal NIC (192.168.2.1)

The host system pretty much only serves as NAT and nameserver. I have
one jail setup with mysqld running. The problem occurs when I try to
connect to the mysql server with the flag -h. I get the error that my
user is not authorized to connect from ip 192.168.101.12 (external
NIC).

However, this is inside the jail so it should not need to be NAT'd
traffic at all.

This is some info from inside the jail:

As you can see from the above, I have no trouble resolving the correct
IP or even connect to the database, however it seem that the database
then all of the sudden believe that I come from the external IP of the
HOST enviroment, not the jail. I shouldnt have access to
192.168.101.12 from the jail. Which means I somehow strangely get
NAT'd, even though i try to connect to my local IP.

The 192.168.1.3 ip is an alias on the rl0 interface. In the host it
looks like this:


---8<-
> ifconfig rl0
rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
options=8
inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

ether 00:10:a7:0a:91:19

Happy for any answers you may come up with.

Re: vlan - pls help

[Wolfgang Lausenbart]

Hi ann,


as few/far as I know, you cannot ping from one vlan 
to another. thats the clue. you have to free the ports
on the switch to allow trunking.

I used this
http://www.expresshosting.net/howto/VLAN-802.1q-Tagging-in-FreeBSD-For-Rate-Limiting-and-Firewalling.html

howto, and could send vlan frames, but I am
not sure if they are working. (no hardware yet)

In the howto above a cisco device is configured.

The em(4)driver is vlan capable, you should see something like VLAN_MTU
next to UP,BROADCAST and so on. you should be capable to generate
8021.q Frames.

btw. you used the same arp adresses. does this make sense?
I asked that here: 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-June/089833.html

Would you like to investigate this any further? If yes, could you test
RAM in that newer machine with this http://www.memtest86.com/ or this
http://www.ocztechnology.com/displaypage.php?name=ocz_memtest ,
please? Guess utilities like these may find one or two gremlins there.

Very much! linuxpluginwrapper has been broken for a while but i cvsupped last 
night and installed it this morning, copied the correct libmap.conf file from 
the installed examples and... Bob's your uncle, working flash in Mozilla and 
Firefox! It's not working in Opera or Konqueror yet, mind... but it didn't 
break realplayer in Konqueror which I was worried about!

Thanks to everyone; i'll be trying out your suggestions for Konqueror later 
today.

Hi everyone.

But grub warns me: filesystem unknown, cannot mount selected partition
Can somebody tell me what is wrong and how to setup?

Good,
You could also use /etc/libmap.conf to solve libm.so.2 dependency. For
example, adding the following lines at the end of the file:

# bdc fbsd5
[/usr/local/bdc/libfn.so]
libm.so.2   libm.so.3

Sun Fire V40z Server.

[William Fletcher]

Hi,

We're looking at buying one of these little machines for a rather large company.
However, we don't know if FreeBSD supports it, as it says that it only supports 
the
V20z... 

So, we're interested to know if FreeBSD supports the V40z sun machines... 

If anyone else can match something with about the same amount of quality that
FreeBSD does run on however, we'll also be interested in that.

Lots of thanks in advance,
Will.

Starting MySQL at bootup

[Gerard Seibert]

This is probably a dumb question, but I will ask it anyway.

I have 'mysql' installed. From what I have deduced from the documentation, 
I should start it using 'mysqld_safe'. I am assuming that I would use the 
syntax 'mysqld_safe &' to force the program into the background upon 
starting. What I can not seem to figure out is how to get the program to 
start automatically upon boot up.

Usually, when you install a service such mysql from the ports collection 
   all of it's files are installed with --prefix=/usr/local . That 
means that the usual startup scripts and configuration files are 
installed at /usr/local/etc . Taking a look at the file 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh , you'll see enough comments on how 
to configure your system , to start mysql automatically upon boot up.



# Add the following line to /etc/rc.conf to enable mysql:
# mysql_enable (bool):  Set to "NO" by default.
#   Set it to "YES" to enable MySQL.
# mysql_limits (bool):  Set to "NO" by default.
#   Set it to yes to run `limits -e -U mysql`
#   just before mysql starts.
# mysql_dbdir (str):Default to "/var/db/mysql"
#   Base database directory.
# mysql_args (str): Custom additional arguments to be passed
#   to mysqld_safe (default empty).


This is the entries i have in my /etc/rc.conf file :

mysql_enable="YES"
#mysql_dbdir="/usr/local/data"
#mysql_args="--log=/var/log/mysql.log "

I actually just got throug this last night myself...there are a couple
of ways to look at it depending on how you installed MySQL (from
source or ports tree, etc), one being the FreeBSD handbook, and the
other is the MySQL documentation. The latter provides a startup script
in the MySQL source that you simply copy to /usr/local/etc/rc.d. See
the following page for specifics:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/unix-post-installation.html

Hope this helps,
Trevor

Kernel Core Dumping

[J T]

Hi,

For some reason my machine keeps crashing almost every night at around
3:00am with the following test in the messages log file:

Jun 14 03:02:28 taco kernel: pid 7174 (sh), uid 0: exited on signal 11
(core dumped)

I tracked it down to cvsup. I run it every night at 3:00am, the
following is the log file that I make it create:

===update-os started by root on  at Mon Jun 13 03:01:00 2005===
Connected to cvsup.ca.freebsd.org
Updating collection src-all/cvs
TreeList failed: Error in
"/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/src-all/checkouts.cvs:RELENG_5_3": 37510:
File is truncated.  Delete it and try again.
===update-os started by root on  at Tue Jun 14 03:01:00 2005===

TreeList failed: Error in
"/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/src-all/checkouts.cvs:RELENG_5_3": 37510:
File is truncated.  Delete it and try again.

The following is the 'update-os' script I made:

echo "===update-os started by $USER on $HOST at `date +%c`===" >>
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/log/update-os.log
#!/bin/sh
echo "Updating OS sources with cvsup..."
/usr/local/bin/cvsup /usr/local/etc/cvsup/supfile.os >>
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/log/update-os.log

The supfile.os:

*default host=cvsup.ca.freebsd.org compress
*default release=cvs
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default tag=RELENG_5_3
src-all

I decided to rm the file
'/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/src-all/checkouts.cvs:RELENG_5_3' just to
see if that fixed it. And it did, but why was it crashing the entire
box?

What do you mean by "format"?   Did you actually do a DOS format
command on it?   If so, you will not be able to get your files 
back - short of going to a very expensive recovery service that

Sendmail relaying from remote domains?

[Brian J. McGovern]

I realize this question is probably best served by the sendmail mailing list,
but whereas I've added the Spam Assassin filter, I'm hoping to find a larger
community here that is running FreeBSD + sendmail + SpamAssassin who
have handled this, so I don't have to ask the question in 3 places :)

The issue I seem to be having is that messages are coming in, forged from my
domain, but sent to a valid user within my domain (e.g. from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) containing a virus attachment.

I had assumed that sendmail would be smart enough to look at the fqdn portion,
and see that the sender is not in fact from that domain at all (a quick
reverse/forward DNS lookup of the inbound socket should prove this), and trash
this.

Is there an easy way to shut this down? An example mail log entry (for 
reference)...

There's a tool for OSX called "Carbon Copy Cloner" that would take care

If you want two more identical drives then use dump, not tar, but you'd 
have to have them sliced/partitioned up the same beforehand and it 
wouldn't do bootblocks.



You would?  Why?  restore doesn't care where you're restoring to... you'd 
just need to make sure you were in / before restoring and then tweak 
/etc/fstab to suit...


I understood the question to be how to create two identical *disks* not two 
identical directory trees.  So unless the disks were partitioned and sliced 
the same before you used dump/restore then you wouldn't end up with identical 
disks.  If all you want is two identical directory trees, then slicing and 
partitioning are irrelevant.

Partitioning IS releveant in my situation, but they don't have to be 
perfectly the same.  We have a rather unique system setup on that box to 
where /var is insanely huge compared to the average boxen.  There are a 
few other requirements, but being perfectly identical isn't one of them. 
It needs to be running the same directory tree upon boot, and be basically 
the same system.

KDM and .bash_profile problem

[RW]

I think it used to be the case that if you used kdm to login, 
then .bash_profile would not get sourced by bash (because it's not a login 
shell). However it appears that  the Xsession script 
in  /usr/local/share/config/kdm now sources .bash_profile explicitly if bash 
is your shell.

My problem is that when .bash_profile is sourced this way, I only pick-up 
environmental variables, and any aliases or bash functions don't work. They 
work as expected when I login via a virtual-terminal, so I don't think it is 
my script. 

For those who don't have kdm, this is the Xsession file:
--
#! /bin/sh
# Xsession - run as user

session=$1

# Note that the respective logout scripts are not sourced.
case $SHELL in
  */bash)
[ -z "$BASH" ] && exec $SHELL $0 "$@"

How much memory do you have on the server? You may want to adjust  
vm.kmem_size_max.


I have it set to 419430400 (400MB) on my 2 and 4G RAM servers.

I have recently upgraded 5 NFS servers from 5.3-STABLE to 5.4-RELEASE- 
p2, and have had no ill effects so far.


I had frequent crashes on 5.2.x before setting kmem_size_max (it was  
a compile time option back then), so I have kept it that way since.

Okay, so it is the login settings.

I'm a little suspicious of commenting out the lines in the middle of
the settings.  I think that may comment out the continuation
character, ending the setting at that point.  Try moving those lines
out of the way and rebuild the database.  It also might be a good idea
to include the default entry explicitly at the end, to make sure you
know you have good defaults.

I'm not quite sure what you are asking, but to sniff packets that
aren't addressed to your machine at the media layer, you need the
interface to be in promiscuous mode.  

If you still have a question, please be more specific about what you

out of the way and rebuild the database.  It also might be a good idea
to include the default entry explicitly at the end, to make sure you
know you have good defaults.
 



I've made a new class with modifying the maxproc only and it works. I 
should modify the limits step-by-step to find which is wrong..

Thanks for the suggestion.

Are you sure you have a version of grub that knows how to boot from
UFS2?  The one currently in the ports collection seems to know how,
but maybe it didn't when 5.3 was released...

PostgreSQL 8.0.3 + FreeBSD + TCP/IP

[Joseph Koenig (jWeb)]

Hi,

I'm having a difficulty getting PostgreSQL to accept TCP/IP connections on
FreeBSD 5.3. I have edited 'postgresql.conf' in my postgres data directory
to set the listen_address (and uncommented it) and have the port line
uncommented and set to the default 5432. I then restarted the postmaster and
tried to connect. I get:

could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "xx.xxx.xx.xxx" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

I can connect from localhost just fine. Is there anything that needs to be
set in /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/hosts.allow? I have postgresql_enable="YES"
in my /etc/rc.conf file, but have not rebooted since I added that. If that's
the problem, is there a good way to load that value without rebooting? Is it
just an environmental variable? Thanks,

Most cheap modems are  winmodems. These are modems that offload a lot of the 
signal processing from hardware into drivers.  The drivers are typically 
windows only, hence the name winmodems.

I understand there has been a lot of progress in making winmodems work under 
Linux (see  ), but things are a lot easier if you use a 
proper hardware modem.

Shrinking slices to make room for linux

[Richard Lupton]

Hello,

I have just installed FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE (my first use of FreeBSD)
onto a Dell Inspiron 5000e laptop, dual booting with Windows. However,
now I would like to install a Linux distro to see if the ACPI support
is any different and so on. I have plenty of space on the FreeBSD
slice, so is there anyway of shrinking the slice without loosing the
data on it (maybe something like GNU parted)? The only references I
have found to this sort of thing are to do with  making FreeBSD slices
bigger...

Thanks,

I guess I should have specified that I have already added the appropriate
entries into pg_hba.conf. I thought that the error message would be enough
to indicate it was not an authentication problem, as that generates an error
stating there is not an entry in pg_hba for that host.

Re: install freebsd with usb keyboard

Hi, Paul:

  Thanks for the reply, but it didn't work. I tried 3 keyboards and 2
FreeBSD releases (5.2.1, and 5.3R1). The combination of logitech keyboard
with 5.2.1 does highlight the keymap option in sysinstall menu, but that
is how far it goes. The keyboard stops working so that I cannot press
"space", "tab" or "enter".


I'm not sure I explained myself clearly.  Let's try again.

***During the boot process* before you ever get to sysinstall, when the 
daemon shows up on the screen and you're given a menu with several options, 
if you look closely, option seven (7) must be chosen to use a usb keyboard 
**during the install**.


If you're waiting until the sysinstall appears, that's way too late.  You 
need to chose option 7 before the kernel even loads, almost immediately 
after the system boots.


If you *are* doing that and the keyboards aren't working anyway, then I 
have no idea what the problem might be.

My situation, i have two identical 80 gb IDE drives, ad0 and ad1, when i try
to edit the disk label, i took it from ad0 and change partition a's offset
to 16 and try to save bsdlabel informs me that partitions a and b overlap
and it won't commit changes. My commands are as follows:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad1 bs=512 count=79
gmirror label -v -n -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad1
gmirror load
fdisk -v -B -I /dev/mirror/gm0

change offset of partition a to 16 and save. This is where i get the error.

Creating a mirror port

[Ted Wisniewski]

I have a FreeBSD box with three Nic's; what I would like to do is mimic the 
functionality of a "mirror-port" commonly found on switches.

On a routing firewall I would like traffic from say sk0 destined to sk1 and 
vice versa to be mirrored on xl0 for purposes of network management.

I am pretty sure this can be done, but what is the easiest/best way do 
implement?  How would this be done for a bridging firewall?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thankd,

Ted

Re: FreeBSD 5.4 X Org Fluebox Keyboard dont respond?

[perikillo]

 For some problems with my last installation i decide to install again the 
system, freebsd 5.4 Release,
make the cvsup to update my tree, compile my kernel to add my sound card and 
other things, install my ports and them upgrade my ports:

test$ cd /usr/ports
test$ make update

The system update my ports. Ok this is only information, because i install 
Xorg from packages, the only thing i didnt install was the "Print Server" 
from the options, them use:

test$ xorgconfig

Setup my X system, every thing was right, write my file. I make the test:

test$ startx

My X system start, but still any answer from the keyboard, my mouse is 
working good, but the problem is that i cannot shutdown the X system using 
the "Ctrl+Atl+Backspace" because my Kbd is not working, i try to use the 
mouse menu to shutdown the system but no answer, the last thing to do was 
use the Reset button, is hard to make that decision, but was the only thing 
do. I read again the Xorg log under /var/log/ but i dont see any problems 
with the Kbd or mouse settings.

After that, i decide to make the buildworld, after some hours i finish the 
installworld, builkernel+installkernel,mergemaster, my upgrade process was 
correct, any problems, them i decide to test again with my X system:

test$ startx

Any errors, but the system dont do nothing, any message or errors. Today 
after work i will try what fisher say using the XDM. Any information about 
this issue will be apreciated. In this moment my system dont have any 
Desktop system, only Xorg.

Hey Fisher, did you install the xorg from ports or packages..?

Good day to all.

Thanx for the answers.

I am expecting to see that OS should define some standard
how all video input devices and their users interact with OS.

What really exists is that gnome-meeting understands fxtv,
there's also pwc_bsd that can capture video but doesn't
interact with gnome-meeting.

My question is really: are there plans to implement single
standard on video devices so that it becomes independent of
individual devices or individual users and all of them can
interact with all.

Linux went this way using /dev/xxx + some set of ioctls to
communicate.
Why doesn't FreeBSD just adopt the same approach ?
And port existing webcam drivers to FreeBSD.

MaxRequestsPerChild is there to cope with leaks, it won't help if Apache
is using a lot of memory to start with though, but if you've got some
mod_php or mod_perl which leaks it can be handy.

Worker MPM uses threads and will probably share more memory than
prefork, not to mention require you to use fewer processes to handle a
given load.

Moving things like mod_php and mod_perl stuff to FastCGI avoids each
httpd having a copy of the interpreter and its various data structures
each, and segments the memory of the interpreters outside httpd so it's
easier to see what's using the memory; you'll have fewer copies running
too, since the static:dynamic request ratio isn't normally 1:1.

Commenting out unused modules in httpd.conf will save some memory.

You might also consider switching to something like lighttpd, which uses
a single process that's generally about 1/3 the size of an equivilent
httpd process.

SMP and networking under FreeBSD 5.3

[Joe]

Hello, 

Not sure if this is the place to ask this.  But this is a
freebsd question.

I've been running FreeBSD since about 4.6.  I have 2
machines running FreeBSD.  One is used as a router, its an SMP
machine, and the other is used to build the source code.  

I'm having a problem with the SMP machine.  When the machine
boots, dmesg shows two messages, that the UP does not show.

WARNING: debug.mpsafenet forced to 0 as ipsec requires Giant
WARNING: MPSAFE network stack disabled, expect reduced
performance.

   In v52a I did not get these messages.  After doing some
research, I understand that this has to do with the kernel
locking.  

   It seems that now my networking is not working on the SMP
machine.  I know others have asked about this, and saw the
release notes, about setting debug.mpsafenet=0, but my
networking is still not working right.  

   Also /dev/kmem and /dev/mem are missing so netstat -ar does
not work either.  

   Where do I start to find a solution to this?

Thanks, Joe

Buildworld problem?

[Java Weenie]

I had a 4gig drive laying around that I wanted to use for a router, so I 
installed the latest (from about 1.5 weeks ago) from the 5.x distrubutions.  
I added ipfw/natd/dummynet to the kernel file and did a full buildworld, 
buildkernel.  I rebooted after install kernel, everything seemed normal, did 
install world/mergemaster, rebooted.  Right now, I have an 'ok' prompt, it 
appears after the 'Press enter to start booting immediately, or hit any 
other key to ' option and it states it cannot find kernel 
or kernel.old.


My guesses are that either I got a really bad batch of sources, I performed 
a buildworld wrong (though I did double check my steps with the handbook 
first), or my hard drive picked a really unusual place to die.


It is a new clean install so it wouldn't be a huge issue to reinstall, but 
if it is hardware, I will need to replace the drive before doing this again.


Any thoughts on how to determine the problem?

Thanks for any tips.

Your best bet is to back up everything in the FreeBSD slice - each partition.
Then rebuild the disk slices and repartition and newfs, leaving room for
your LNX slice.   Then restore the dumps in to the new FreeBSD partitions.
Growing FreeBSD partitions works ok under ideal circumstances, but 
shrinking is not going to work.

Good luck,

jerry

Thanks, that worked!

I'm not really sure why though  I've been through the xauth
section on trusted vs. untrusted, and skimmed the X11 SECURITY
extension specification.

Using ssh -X works on my 5.3BETA4 system from 10/2004.  It's running
an Xorg 6.7 server.

Is this the result of an X change, and ssh change, or a butterfly
flapping it's wings over Brazil?

Thanks again for the help!

rcNG script problems

[JM]

i've written an rcNG script but i'm having some issues.  i've read all

anything about writting custom rcNG scripts.  i've built apache2 and 
PHP5 from source (not from ports) so i had to write my own script to 
start httpd at boot.  i'm having trouble with it and this is my first 
attempt at an rcNG script.  the script name is 'httpd_start' and the 
perms are 555, owner root group wheel, same as all the other scripts.  
here is the code:

[code]
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: httpd_start
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
httpd_start_enable=${httpd_start_enable-"YES"}
httpd_start_flags=${httpd_start_flags-""}

. /etc/rc.subr

name="httpd_start"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command="/var/www/bin/apachectl"
args="start"

start_cmd="echo \"Starting Apache\"; ${command} ${args}"
stop_cmd="/var/www/bin/apachectl stop"

load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command="$1"
[/code]

and here is the entry in rc.conf:
[code]
httpd_start_enable="YES"
[/code]
can't figure this one out.  is this not the way we're supposed to write 
rc scripts?  this was copied straight from the man pages.  i don't

RE: Buildworld problem?

run the hard drive diagnostics software of your hard drive manufacturer
to test the condition of your hard drive. it should be available from
their website. this should always be done on used drives being put back

The documents tree(s)...

[Joe Altman]

uname -a:

FreeBSD vox.chthonixia.net 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Thu Jun
9 13:59:19 EDT 2005
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/VOX  i386

Today, I was thinking of upgrading my sources, to see if the new
Hi-Res console modes were available yet. I didn't see them in the
update, but I did notice that some files were being dumped into this
directory (IIRC):

/usr/src/share/doc

Now, my docs tree has a distinct file in /etc:

cvsupfile-doc

So what, I asked myself, are the files in share/doc?

Upon looking, I find various files, including Makefiles...for instance
(and relevant to a separate issue I am trying to solve):

ll share/doc/papers/devfs/

1090302 -rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel181 Feb 15 15:12 Makefile
1088608 -rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel  50718 Feb 18  2002 paper.me

This paper exists in /usr/share/doc/papers in a .gz state. Is that the
only place it is supposed to be? The Makefile doesn't give me a clue
about where else it might be installed. Is there yet another step
(automated, and a part of the make update process), not evident to me,
that might render it (and other files in the /usr/src subdirs) human
readable, and up to date?

It appears to me that the make update process I run should be doing
everything WRT these files.

It's 63K.  I've seen recommendations elsewhere to use a tape blocksize of 63K

No, you are on to something - I will be making small writes / parity

and they do have sites running with SQL backends and not just static  
HTML content.


i think buying 4 80GB FAST IDE/SATA drives and arranging it as  
RAID-10 will give you 160GB of FAST and protected storage.  
performance gain using mirror+strip will likely offset this of  
using faster 15k rpm drives.


and it will be for sure cheaper. you may put 6 drives (RAID-10) and  
even larger drives and still have cheaper alternative and even  
faster. and MUCH more space.


Sure, it will be cheaper.  For me it's too late, I've purchased the 4  
x SCSI 15k drives I need for this project.  I have bought mostly  
unopened, in-box but secondhand IBM drives/sleds.  They are still  
expensive but certainly not the (what I consider) insane prices for  
the same drives IBM direct.  I'm paying around 1/3 of "list".


I'm curious as to if you're right, I'll certainly have something to  
run some benchmarks on soon.  Keep in mind this is all running though  
hardware raid (IBM ServeRAID 6i).  Somehow I feel that 15k SCSI on  
U320 being processed as RAID-5 with this card will be better than you  
state.  You're right, it will have cost more than IDE but I wanted to  
give this approach a try.


Worst thing is that I can fall back to SCSI 1+0 as you suggest at the  
cost of one drive's space.  My guess is that while the drives are  
clean I will play with both structures for the RAID and compare some  
benchmarks to give me an idea of what kind of hit the parity is  
costing me.


Thanks for you comments.

It's an SSH change, and came in around OpenSSH 3.8.

hay guys i hear freebsd have this here 'handbook' type thing. Try 
reading

it. http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/

I'd like to see Microsoft provide such a resource for Windows (at 
least,

one that doesn't treat the reader like an idiot).


Most of the MSDN/Technet?  While not in a "handy" format, it does have 
a lot of articles that I've found to be of use in 
troubleshooting/reconfiguring.  If you know specifically what you're 
looking for.


The FreeBSD handbook is a wonderful resource, but there are still times 
when I find the articles at FreeBSD Diary and some other *BSD sites to 
be more informative and up to date for a particular task.



If dk is such a computer expert (using PCs since the days of DOS 3.3?
Wow), he should be familiar with using things like command lines,
non-graphical installers, and the task of setting up your own disk
partitions. The handbook is an excellent resource, when I was a 
beginner

with FreeBSD I found it invaluable. I still refer to it regularly, 2-3
years later. All I can say is that this is the problem with the way
Windows does *everything* for the user (and usually not very 
well)...the
users lose the ability to think for themselves, or to even learn 
anything

about the PC they are using.


Um...isn't this what ALL users want from there computer, to have it do 
the thinking *FOR* them?  That's a trend not just in 
computing/technology, but for society in general, I've found.


It appears from my observation that kids in school (American, public 
school system) are now being actively trained not to think for 
themselves, period.  It's worse now that schools are accountable with 
No Child Left Behind...they're taught rote skills for passing exams set 
as standards so teachers teach to the tests so schools get a score that 
allows them to keep getting government money, even though the federal 
government hasn't come through with the funding they promised in order 
to have the schools use the programs to teach to the tests in the first 
place so it's driving schools further in debt and people are too 
{ignorant | lazy | naive | brainwashed | apathetic} to care about how 
their tax dollars are being wasted.  But that's a political argument 
that doesn't belong here...just venting :-)


Point is, people by their nature are lazy, they will do the laziest 
thing to achieve the result they want, and they don't want to know 
squat about how their computer works even if it hurts them in the long 
run (Where did you save the file?...Save it?...Yeah, where did you save 
it?...I don't know...)

FTP not using the users database?

It turns out that when I send the same email both to freebsd-test@
and directly to the account I have subscribed to that list, the
mail delivered via the list has the From line quoting and the other
one doesn't.  So it looks like the list is actually sending the

Step one: set rc_debug="YES" in /etc/rc.conf to see what's actually 
happening when you attempt to run your script.  That seems to uncover about 
95% of the problems I've had.

I believe you're talking about format=flowed.  I remember it from a
posting war last year sometime.  The thing is that the format is
determined by the sender, and this is happening even to messages
sent by me, and those messages are not in that format.

GUI mail clients sometimes are able to represent the > characters at
the beginnings of lines as meaning that the line contains quoted text
and represent that graphically.  Opera does it, it sounds like Mail.app
does it too.  But they can only work with the text that is there in
the first place.  Mail.app might have some real fuzzy logic built in
if it doesn't interpet those From lines as quoted text.

> Perhaps it's a combination of factors; I remember some mail agents give

Yes, most do, but that setting only comes into play when you are
replying to or forwarding messages and quoting the original.  It happens
on the sending side.  The issue I'm having is that the message is altered
in transit.  It is sent without a ">" in front of the From lines, but
it arrives with a ">" in front of the From lines.

That's good advice.  The mail store on this box is a Maildir folder.
The messages are stored in plain RFC822 format.  Those From lines are
indeed quoted in the mail store, so I guess I can absolve Mutt of all
wrongdoing :)  Dovecot too for that matter.

I don't have those "sniff dump of the messages flying over the wire"
smarts.  If you can recommend a tool for doing that I would appreciate
it.

Thanks for your reply.

You need to set listen_addresses, like it says in the comments:

listen_addresses = '*'

This will allow Postgresql connections from all interfaces.

ATA_Identify timeout ERROR - using Tyan S5350 with FreeBSD 5.4 (problems booting - SATA hard disk not recognised) -

[Alan Jay]

Hi,

I just got a new Tyan S5350 using twin Xeon processors I am told this is now a
very standard motherboard.  

Unfortunately when I try to boot FreeBSD 5.4 Release I get the following
errors on the IDE/ATA/SATA connection.

The errors I get during boot up are as follows:

The hard disk is not recognised you get the error:

Ata0_master: Failure ATAPI_IDENTITY timeout (x3) Then
Ata1_master: Failure ATA_Identify timeout (x3)

This is true if I use a standard IDE drive (160Gb) or a SATA drive (250Gb).
The BIOS recognises the drives and is happy with them but the OS has this
problem. 

The board appears to use the Intel 6300SEB chip set using for the IDE/ATA/SATA

is it supported?  Or is there a problem with my motherboard?

The board we have is:
http://www.tyan.com/products/html/tigeri7320r_spec.html

If anyone is using this motherboard successfully please let me know so I can
organise a replacement.  

Any other help gratefully received.

Alan Jay 

PS The rest of the machine specs are - twin Xeon processor; 4 Gb RAM; Intel
Gigabit Network card in the PCI slot.  250Gb SATA drive. 

PPS Having looked around the lists there appear to be people who say this is
related to the issues described 5.2.1 release errata
(http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2.1R/errata.html) 

PPPS loading in safe mode does work but it isn't a viable way to run a server
anyone got any ideas why this occurs and how to work around it the ideas in
the errata for 5.2.1 don't seem to work assuming that I have the syntax
correct in the /boot/loader.comf

Are you absolutely certain that that formatting isn't getting into your 
messages by your MUA?  It would be very strange indeed for an MTA to 
start reformatting it.  I would be more inclined to believe that your 
MUA has the codes inserted and something may be *stripping* them out, 
or maybe converting to another format/MIME type or something like that 
in transit before thinking that an MTA or filter is *inserting* 
characters.  Probably only sniffing the traffic would tell that for 
sure.

Mail interprets the flowed formatting and interprets it correctly for 
indenting.


I'm not sure where there's a reference of how different message formats 
handle "hard" and "soft" representations of quoted material... :-/

Or some clients (pure speculation here) may be representing where 
they're putting a "format=flowed" quotation symbol in by using that 
character or other times, depending on the format of the message, are 
actually inserting the ">" into the message and displaying both times

TCPDump is the standard "workhorse" for sniffing traffic on Unix.  For

sure you run them with root priv to access the interface in promiscuous

Ethereal.  Dsn

Where does your script live?  You can use rcNG style scripts in /usr/ 
local/etc  but they must end in .sh and are done in lexographic order  
without  the rcorder and stuff (unless you write your own ueber- 
script to do it)


I battled this for a long while before I figured out the /usr/local/ 
etc does not get full rcNG support

Sure, it will be cheaper.  For me it's too late, I've purchased the

expensive but certainly not the (what I consider) insane prices for  
the same drives IBM direct.  I'm paying around 1/3 of "list".



The SCSI disks will certainly last longer.   If you can do the RAID 1

I have already tried setting the listen_addresses to * and the actual IP.
Neither of which has worked. I restarted the postmaster both times using the
script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/, and by using pg_ctl. Even tried starting
postmaster with pg_ctl -i. Nothing seems to be working. I have
double-checked all of my pg_hba.conf settings, even though the error doesn't

RE: [Solved] How to disable > quoting of lines starting with From in email body?

[John Brooks]

This is a function of the receiving MTA. mbox format inserts a line
at the beginning of each email in the form of:

>From <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 

This serves as a message delimiter inside the flat text file format
of mbox. Your POP3 mail server needs these lines. Anyway, any time
another line within the headers or message body BEGINS with "From xxx..."
it will be prepended with a single ">" to preserve the validity of
the message delimiters.

This is easy to test. telnet to your mail server on port 25 and
manually deposit an email that has the following lines:

this is a test
From: hello
From
>From hello
see which will be prepended

This is an entirely distinct issue from the 'quoting' of previous
message bodies (as in below)

Have you checked the firewall settings on both computers to ensure that

Access granted even on root password change

[Vinicius Pavanelli Vianna]

Hi,

How could I afford that i can get always access to my remote server even
in the case of a breakin by some script kiddie/hack? I thought about
setting a key in ssh so i can log using it even the root password is
changed, but this is simple to stop and it's not good to assume lack of
knowledge of others ;)
Anyone knows a good backup access system, like a rootkit for FreeBSD?

TIA,
Vinicius

Stability issues with FreeBSD + MySQL

[Ken Ebling]

Hello everyone,

I've been experiencing some issues with FreeBSD + MySQL and I was  
hoping someone on this list might have some advice.


I have two servers that run a web site that receives about 650,000  
hits per day (about 15,000 unique visits/day).  Both the machines  
have dual Xeon 3.06 GHz chips with 2GB ECC REG RAM, and RAID Arrays  
(The web server has an Adaptec 2100S U160 controller, and the  
database server has an Adaptec 2120S U320 controller.)  Both machines  
have a 2-disk raid-1 array for the OS, and a raid-5 array for the data.


The web server is running FreeBSD 5.3 with Apache+mod_perl (1.3.33_2,  
installed from ports), mysql-client (4.0.24_1, installed from ports,  
compiled with LinuxThreads), and uses Postfix as an MTA.


The database server is running FreeBSD 4.11 (had all sorts of  
problems with MySQL after upgrading to 5.x) with mysql-server  
(4.0.24_1, installed from ports, compiled with LinuxThreads)


The database server isn't connected to the internet, the web server  
connects to it over a gigabit cross-over link.


Both the machines have custom kernels, that are basically GENERIC  
with all the unnecessary hardware (SCSI controllers, RAID  
controllers, NICs, USB & Firewire)  stripped out, and with SMP  
enabled.  The web server uses an Intel Pro/100 (fxp) for it's  
external interface and an Intel Pro/1000 (em) for it's connection to  
the database server, which also has an Intel Pro/1000.


The problem I'm having is that a few times a day, a perl script on  
the web server will fail to connect to the mysql server, and send out  
an email letting me know that the connection and whatever query it  
was going to execute have failed.


Whenever this happens I check the machines out and everything looks  
okay to me, but I am obviously overlooking something.


Here are some relevant settings on the machines:

/etc/sysctl.conf on web server:
kern.ipc.somaxconn=2048

/etc/sysctl.conf on database server:
kern.ipc.somaxconn=1024

The database server is using the default /usr/local/share/mysql/my-

binary logging disabled.


Is there any special tuning or something else I am missing that would  
be appropriate for me to try?


Thanks in advance,

Ken Ebling

I'm guessing that opening the port is part of what placing
"postgresql_enable=YES" in the rc.conf file does, correct? If so, that's
probably the problem as I have not rebooted since adding that. Is there a
way to safely force that to run without rebooting? There is a hardware
firewall in front of the server that I have ensured is allowing that port
through. Thanks,

Hi Joe,

You can confirm whether or not port 5432 is opened by typing "netstat  
-na | grep 5432"  on your database server.


You should not have to reboot for the port to be opened.  When  
PostgreSQL starts, (either by starting it manually, or then the  
machine boots) it will open the port.


IIt definitely sounds like the firewall could be your problem.  I'd  
try connecting to the database server's port 5432 via telnet from an  
outside location, so that your packets have to pass thru the firewall  
in question.

Not directly related to your query ... i doubt that installing Linux
would help any as the problem is, IMO, w/ the included/implemented
ACPI support from Dell.  Only APM worked for me (FreeBSD 4.x) which
was good only to check battery power level; did not try much or any
power management in Windows Me.

But don't let me hold you back.  If you find that Linux provides
usable better support wrt ACPI, more power to both of you.

Enable another uid-0 account, such as the one called toor?  Setup sudo access 
for some other account which can run passwd or a shell as root, gaining 
superuser perms via the account password?


Note that having someone untrusted gain superuser access to a machine should be 
cause for backing up the system and reinstalling from scratch or restoring from 
a known-OK backup

Re: install freebsd with usb keyboard

Thanks, Paul. What you meant is that I should choose option 7 when the

that. In my 5.2.1 and 5.3R1, the option 7 is "reboot". Is that in 5.4?

The message you see there has nothing directly to do with the crash of
the system, though it may be an indication of hardware issues.  To
find out, you'll need to take a processor dump and see what's going
on.  Unfortunately, I can no longer find the instructions in the
online handbook; does anybody else know where they are?  I have some
instructions in my debugging tutorial at
http://www.lemis.com/grog/Papers/Debug-tutorial/tutorial.pdf, but
there should be more concise information on the FreeBSD web site.

Re[2]: install freebsd with usb keyboard

Hello Kan,

Well, I'm not sure if that exists in < 5.4 but there is an option
called "Boot FreeBSD with USB keyboard" or similar in 5.4. I was
installing 5.4 on Dell gx280, which doesn't have any PS/2 ports so it
is possible to use only USB keyboard (that really sucks btw.), some
time ago.
