Did you follow my suggestion and search the HP resources with
freebsd and your
model.  I have had the same problem myself I am pretty certain
it was fixed
by changes using the Proliant Essrntial Foundation Pack.. but
my memory may
not be accurate.

Yeah, what a awful design!  You have to load an entire full-blown
Windows install just to update the microcode in the SCSI raid
controller.  I saw they had done this the last time I setup a
Compaq server and nearly barfed.

You can still firmware update the machines' BIOS with a bootable
floppy but that's it.  To get anything else, helo Windows!

At least you get the satisfaction of scratching it off once you've
done the update.

Hi

I had a working FreeBSd 5.3 RELEASE server running postfix and
zope until
last night. When I checked it in the morning, it had a bunch of ad4 ...
UNRECOVERABLE ERROR messages on it. Upon a reboot, it
complains it cannot
find /boot/loader (error 16). Last week, it had shut down without any
apparent reason but came up upon reboot. Sounds like the hard disk is
fried. Its a new server (just 5 months old or so).

How do I recover what was on the partitions ?

You don't   With the price of UDMA disks and the price of hardware IDE
raid
controllers as cheap as they are, anyone setting up a production server
on a
single IDE disk is taking a totally unnecessary and stupid gamble.

Consider it a learning experience.  We have all had it happen to us at
least
once.  You probably needed to update your install anyhow.

How to create *exactly* the same partitions in different disks

  A snapshot on the same disk does not qualify as a reliable backup of

  would.


Please read the entire thread. I use rsync to mirror my disks remotely, 
then make snapshots on that remote computer. The snapshots are mounted 
read-only and nfs-exported back to the original computer.

This satisfies both the need for offsite sorage of backups, the need for 
invremental backups and the need for all previous backups to be randomly 
accessible from the original computer.

Thanks for your consern, though.

Re: rsync and moving files [Re: backup w/ snapshots]

2005-08-31 Thread Svein Halvor Halvorsen

* Garance A Drosihn [2005-08-30 12:50 -0400]
  Fwiw, I understand the problem you're trying to describe.  And the
  basic issue is that rsync keeps no information between separate
  runs of it.  It has no way of knowing that a given file on the
  source volume used to be at a different location.  It does not even
  know that the destination volume was sync'ed by a previous run of
  rsync, so it does not even know that the file at the old location
  on the destination is the same as the file at the old location on
  the source.  It knows nothing more than the information it has at
  the moment of any given run of rsync.
  
  You could kinda fudge that information for rsync by creating a lot
  of hard links, but that is probably going to create more of a mess
  than it will solve.
  
  So, you're left with doing something else outside of rsync.  The
  script you are suggesting would probably be fairly easy to write
  in something like ruby, perl, or python.  Use a key made up of the
  inode number + lastchange date, or maybe inode number + file size.
  Then save away the key-to-filename(s) mapping for every file.  On
  the next run of rsync, see which files have moved on the source
  directory.  If the destination volume has a file at the old location
  which matches the file-size or lastchange date (depending on which
  key you used...), then move it to the new location on the destination
  volume.


Thanks! I think I will try to implement this, then!

Hello Gurus,


   I'm not sure this issue is for this list, but anyhow I would like to 
have this small help.


   Im on FreeBSD 4.8, fresh installed, and ports up to date.

   both perl-5.6.2_2   and perl-5.8.7  are installed, use.perl port and 
rehash has been done.


   I cannot locate the file suidperl ? althou perl is installed,

   when I do search for suidperl the result shows only in 
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/suidperl

   and in /usr/bin I could find suidperl.freebsd

   shall i do rename suidperl.freebsd to suidperl ?
   or I did some mistake that is taking out suidperl ?

   How do i enable/install suidperl to be located in /usr/bin/

   Thanks for the help.

The HP site does not turn up anything about FreeBSD and the Proliant.
However I have found out that the Smart-2 family controllers do have an

rc.conf - setting interface UP without IP-address?

2005-08-31 Thread Ewald Jenisch

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to set an interface UP using /etc/rc.conf
without giving the interface an IP-address (i.e. neither static nor
DHCP)

Background: The machine in question has three Ethernet-IFs - one
connects to the LAN (and has an IP-address) the other two are used for
monitoring traffic via ethereal only. For security reasons I don't
want to assign IP-addresses to the two ethereal-only interfaces -
but I need them UP.

Sure enough I can up these interfaces manually but I want them up at
boot-time.

I've tried with entries like e.g.

ifconfig_fxp1=
ifconfig_fxp1=UP

in my /etc/rc.conf - none of these work.



So what should I configure in /etc/rc.conf in order to get the
interfaces UP?

BTW - ethereal only recognizes interfaces that are in the UP state.

Thanks much in advance for any clue,
-ewald

You can use combination of different commands to solve

Base on your problem, you can move all directories

mv `ls -l | grep -v 2 | awk -F   '{print $9}'` 
destination directory

Take note that the above commands do not only move the

the above commands will do it.

What if I wanted to move everything but

Just pipe another command,e.g. grep -v 7, after the

3ware raid disks requiring fsck ing,

2005-08-31 Thread Gerald de la Pascua
I have started getting failures on a freebsd 4.x machine running 3ware card, 
the machine had been crashing from time to time, and it crashed and would 
not reboot saying noufs. 
 Replacing the 3ware card ( a 7002 I think, the older 2 port ones) with a 
7006 fixed this issue, but since then I have been getting crashes every few 
weeks/months, where the machine needs to do fsck's on the file partiitions, 
to come back to life. this is odd for a raid system, and didn't seem to 
happen before. 
 I am thinking perhaps there is a hardware issue on this machine, and 
perhaps it fails under load ? 
 does anyone have any experience of this? 
might the change of card be significant ?

fdisk wants slices to start on a head boundary, and end on a cylinder boundary.

if you make start evenly divisible by the number of sectors per 
track, and make size+start evenly divisible by sectors*heads, fdisk 
won't change any of the numbers on you.


So, for your disk:

start / sectors = 332775
you have size specified as 467427240, so:
(467427240 + 20964825) / (16 * 63) = 484515.9375
fdisk will treat that as 484515 and do:
(16 * 63 * 484515) - 20964825 = 467426295
and use that number as the new size.

This matches ad6.  It would appear that ad4 had the start and end 
values explicitly set causing it to come out with different numbers.

portsnap and updates using cron

2005-08-31 Thread martin hudec
Hello,


  I am using portsnap to update my ports tree like following:

  1. Calling portsnap cron from root's cron
  2. Updating ports tree using portsnap -I update from root's cron

  But it does not update anything by portsnap cron. In
  /usr/local/etc/portsnap.conf I have:

  WORKDIR=/usr/local/portsnap
  PORTSDIR=/usr/ports

  Files in WORKDIR are dated to Aug 25. So I assume calling portsnap
  cron results in failure (both with -f /usr/local/etc/portsnap.conf or
  without it).

  Can anyone advise me on this one please?

heimdal kerberos ssh

2005-08-31 Thread Stijn Hoop
Hi,

I'm trying to setup a Kerberos realm, on a 5.4-STABLE box using the
base heimdal version.

I have succesfully created the database and I can get a ticket using
kinit.

Now I'm trying to setup the ssh service so that it authenticates to
the kerberos server, and so that it saves the ticket to the
credentials cache. However that last point is not working:

%%%
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ grep stijnkrb /etc/passwd
stijnkrb:*:1004:1004:stijn kerb test:/home/stijnkrb:/usr/local/bin/zsh
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Password:
Last login: Wed Aug 31 13:11:15 2005 from localhost.lzee.
firsa% klist
klist: No ticket file: /tmp/krb5cc_1004
%%%

So it seems that the authentication is working, however the TGT is not
being saved.

I have modified /etc/pam.d/sshd as follows:

%%%
# auth
authrequiredpam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass

# account
account requiredpam_krb5.so

# session
session requiredpam_permit.so

# password
passwordrequiredpam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass
%%%

Which to my mind should allow only kerberos accounts to login.
However, sshd happily passes authentication for local-only accounts as
well! I do have UsePAM yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config, although the text
suggested this as the default.

Not knowing much about pam, is this not the right thing to do? I have tried
variations on this but it seems that it's not helping any... Adding a
'ccache' option to the auth line for pam_krb5 didn't help either.

Is there an introductory document on PAM available online somewhere? Or better
a working setup with pam_krb5 on FreeBSD 5.x/6.x?

Thanks,

--Stijn

UP is the state of the interface. You can set an IF up/down to
enable/disable the IF. Current state of an interface can be seen with
ifconfig, e.g.

if you make start evenly divisible by the number of sectors per track,

So, for your disk:

start / sectors = 332775
you have size specified as 467427240, so:
(467427240 + 20964825) / (16 * 63) = 484515.9375
fdisk will treat that as 484515 and do:
(16 * 63 * 484515) - 20964825 = 467426295
and use that number as the new size.


Thanks for the explanation :)



This matches ad6.  It would appear that ad4 had the start and end values 
explicitly set causing it to come out with different numbers.


Gotcha. ad6 , ad8 and ad10 (*) , the ones I sliced by hand, follow this 
rule. ad4 doesn't, which is the one that got created by sysinstall on 
the initial setup. I told it to create a slice of 10GB.


So sysinstall doenst follow the rule? Am I missing something here?

I guess i can move all of ad4s1 around to ad6s1, boot off ad6, rebuild 
ad4s1 and move back in... right?


(*) FWIW, all four drives are exactly the same, so the only difference 
is how the slices were done.

Detailed DNS setup ?

2005-08-31 Thread kilim


Hello,


I'm about to set up named under FreeBSD 5.4. 

I have read all the documentation, O'Reily book and various sites
telling me how to go about things. But I fear that just reading about
it and doing it are completely different things.

What I would like to do is write a list of things that I need to do in
order to have my setup up and running. I would appreciate if you give
it a look and point out any mistakes that I might have made.

Thank you.


Here it goes:

1. In the /etc/rc.conf put the name of my domain as hostname, right ?

   hostname=kilimdomain.com

2. Then add named_enable=yes also to the /etc/rc.conf ?

3. I'd like to run named in the chrooted directory and handbook's
   24.6.8 section has a write up about it. Yet in /etc/defaults/
   there is a knob: named_chroot_autoupdate=YES.

   Does this imply that even if I don't follow the steps in 24.6.8 but
   just the steps preceding it, in the 24.6.6 up to 24.6.8, will make
   the named chrooted ?

I'd like to get the answer to these questions (well question
no. 3. really) before I proceed to write further as the rest of the
write up depends on them.

Thank you again !

Alex,

   On those machines we're running releng_5_4.
But, as I said, I might be wrong. After all, it is quite some time since
I tried this.

I never tried using both at the same time, but I do know that I set ukbd
to 1, to be able to use the console. Then, when I was done and put the
machine into pre-production I used the DRAC. (Again, this is what I
remember - so I'm not going to argue points before I get a chance to try
it again).

The question we should ask ourselves though is why anyone would have to
use a 'normal' console keyboard, when there's the DRAC console.
 

I may have a chance to test this again, sometime, but the machine is 
installed remotely now and I don't know if they have a USB keyboard or 
not :-(  If you made ukdb1 the console from the command line, then this 
would have gone away when the machine was rebooted.


Why would you want to do this?  2 reasons I can think of:

   1) There actually are sometimes staff at the remote location, and 
having a keyboard next to the machine makes it easier to use the console 
at the same time as doing hardware things like inserting CDs.  (Note 
that you can use a local keyboard if you are fiddling with the BIOS, 
since it's just FreeBSD which forces one keyboard).  The same issue 
affects PS/2 keyboards as well as USB ones, btw.


   2) The DRAC keyboard through the Java app is a bit funny.  Below is 
a quick message I wrote (not to this list) summarising my difficulties.  
The lack of a \ is a pain as there is rarely one on-screen to 
cut-and-paste.  # less difficult since it's usually in some file which 
has other comments in it already.


Neither of those *require* you to use a local keyboard, though.

--Alex


Here is my experienced behaviour using the Java console applet.

Sometimes, when the applet starts you get these key mappings:

\ - #
| - ~
ALT` - |
# - f
~ - F

nothing produces \

If you change the mouse acceleration mode you get these instead:

\ - \
| - |
@ - 
 - @
# - f
~ - F

nothing produces #


However, BEWARE of changing the mode when in the BIOS, as it seems to 
make the keyboard stop working.  When in FreeBSD with a mouse, you can 
copy some text with the white cursor, and that seems to make the 
keyboard work again.  That option not available in the BIOS.


--Alex

I havent seen any way to control traffic for P2P apps reliably @ the 
protocol layer, u need to inspect it. Something like snort attached to 
your firewall, i guess ... though it'd be a reverse IDS (or a reverse 
IPS, intrusion prevention system, I've seen it called...)


a quick search in ports for ids shows:

/net/libnids
/security/libprelude and other prelude related ports
/security/snortms and other snort related ports



Linux use l7-filter  http://sourceforge.net/projects/l7-filter
sourceforge.net/projects/l7-filter sourceforge freeware and , it is based on
iptables, defination application protocols like ethereal project do.


right - so something like applying ethereal rules to the output of 
tcpdump and updating the rules in realtime...mind you, many of these 
apps/protocols are extremely flexible, they'll change how they connect 
very fast, which will put the load on your firewall



So, is there any way to do same application layer osi model firewall with
FreeBSD gateway ?


i dont see why not...though it's obvious I'm not sure how :) please 
share the answer when you find it :)

Hi,

hi there,

I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 STABLE and the latest Proftpd. I have a little

I want about 10 users to have access to the same

upload, delete and retrive (full access) to the files in these directories.


I want all users to have different usernames/passwords so I can log 
them, but all should have full access to the ftp directories.


How would I set this up? 


not sure about proftp,sorry. But i'd guess point their home directories 
to the one place (or add symlinks to this one place...or however you do 
with proftpd).


Make a group, make yourself a member of the group. then set the sticky 
bit on the folder + other subfolders (man chmod). you may have to modify 
the umask (as seen by ProFTPd of course...maybe a proftpd setting, 
guessing here) to make sure the files are mode 660


I've tried making all members of the same 
group, but I can't overwrite/delete files other uploaded.


are you a member of the group?
what are the rights of the files?
what are the rights of the directory where the files are?

Re: heimdal kerberos ssh

2005-08-31 Thread Stijn Hoop
OK, I think I figured this out, at least partially:

On Wed, Aug 31, 2005 at 01:23:00PM +0200, Stijn Hoop wrote:
 So it seems that the authentication is working, however the TGT is not

It turns out that you really need to specify the 'ccache' parameter to pam_krb5
but in the correct format:

authrequiredpam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass 
ccache=FILE:/tmp/krb5_%u

Furthermore, do not test logging in with a user that has both a local account
and a kerberos principal -- it may confuse you :-/

For the record here is the /etc/pam.d/sshd that I think works:

%%%
# auth
authrequiredpam_nologin.so  no_warn
authsufficient  pam_opie.so no_warn no_fake_prompts
authrequisite   pam_opieaccess.so   no_warn allow_local
authrequiredpam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass 
ccache=FILE:/tmp/krb5_%u

# account
account requiredpam_krb5.so
account requiredpam_login_access.so

# session
session requiredpam_permit.so

# password
passwordrequiredpam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass
%%%

However:

- I still don't get a valid cache file with a user that also has a local
  password (manually doing kinit works just fine). This is really strange..
- there's a strange 2-3 second delay when logging in, that I can't explain.
  It feels like some sort of timeout but I can't figure out what...

Anyone recognize this? And again, if there's someone out there with a working
setup, I'd love to see the config files.

Hello,


I'm about to set up named under FreeBSD 5.4. 


I have read all the documentation, O'Reily book and various sites
telling me how to go about things. But I fear that just reading about
it and doing it are completely different things.

What I would like to do is write a list of things that I need to do in
order to have my setup up and running. I would appreciate if you give
it a look and point out any mistakes that I might have made.

Thank you.


Here it goes:

1. In the /etc/rc.conf put the name of my domain as hostname, right ?

  hostname=kilimdomain.com

2. Then add named_enable=yes also to the /etc/rc.conf ?

3. I'd like to run named in the chrooted directory and handbook's
  24.6.8 section has a write up about it. Yet in /etc/defaults/
  there is a knob: named_chroot_autoupdate=YES.

  Does this imply that even if I don't follow the steps in 24.6.8 but
  just the steps preceding it, in the 24.6.6 up to 24.6.8, will make
  the named chrooted ?

I'd like to get the answer to these questions (well question
no. 3. really) before I proceed to write further as the rest of the
write up depends on them.

Thank you again !

How are you calling the program from cron(8)?  I'm sure that

  Why do you think this is a getopt problem?  It looks a problem in a

 Thanks, what makes you think that?

Well, bad command startup implies something of the sort.  getopt
problems *could* cause problems interpreting startup configuration,
but there are many other possibilities.  

I'm not really an expert on Postfix, but at least I do have access to
a copy of The Book of Postfix.  Which tells me very little for this
case except that maybe running the post-install script might be
advised.  However, that script can edit some config files, including
main.cf, so be very careful if you use it.

Here it is with only my networks
 altered, maybe something needs to be adjusted since the last upgrade? I
 went through the release notes and did the portupgrade from 2.1 to 2.2,
 perhaps the TLS support changes are effecting something?

Possible, but I wouldn't expect failures until after startup.

 esmtp# postconf -n
 body_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/body_checks
 command_directory = /usr/local/sbin
 config_directory = /usr/local/etc/postfix

This means that main.cf is in the /usr/local/etc/postfix directory,
while the body_checks map file is in /etc/postfix.  Is that right?

For testing, you might want to simplify your configuration to see if
the errors go away.  

Good luck.

Mounting a RHLinux 7.1 partition

2005-08-31 Thread Isaac Grover
Good morning everyone,

Due to a hardware failure on my RHLinux 7.1 gateway, I have chosen to
install FreeBSD 5.4 as my new gateway's operating system.  The hard
drive didn't die fortunately, as I did test it on another system to
make sure it booted, and aside from kudzu complaining about some new
and missing hardware, everything was there.

Once I had FreeBSD 5.4 set up, I put the RHLinux drive in the FreeBSD
machine as primary slave.  Manually mounting the drive didn't seem to
work since I could find which /dev/ entry the RHLinux drive ended up
on, and of course fdisk wouldn't help for the same reason.  So I
pulled the RHLinux drive from the FreeBSD machine, set it up as
primary master on another machine, and was going to do the necessary
file copies over the network.  However, now it boots up with the
FreeBSD menu, giving me one option (F1) to boot FreeBSD, and pressing
F1 yields a beep from the PC speaker, and no boot.

What happened to my RHLinux MBR and how can I either: 1) restore the
MBR or 2) retrieve my data?

Thanks in advance,

mail malady - dns/postfix

Greetings all,
On my network, we used to have some NT box acting as the mail exchanger and a 
faulty dns for our domain.  That box has nearly crumbled.  It's still active, 
but no longer accepting mail.  I set up a computer (called galley) with 5.4 and 
it is (supposedly) running authoritative dns for our domain, and is handling 
mail via postfix.  Since I changed the dns, I alerted our registrar, which was 
originally doing lookups for us.

Your BIOS clock is probably set to keeping time in the local timezone rather 
than in GMT.


ntpd won't correct a multi-hour offset without being nudged.  You can run 
ntpdate -b to step the clock by the four hours, or use date to set it to 
something close by hand, and then run ntpd from there.

 There was a temporary snafu that caused the 5.x packages to be

Thanks for the update; I was able to get everything working by
rebuilding the entire ports tree using portupgrade:

I'm not sure if rebuilding itself did the trick or I got

Re: FTP Permissions

2005-08-31 Thread Philip Hallstrom

Hi,
I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 STABLE and the latest Proftpd. I have a little 
problem I need help with.


I want about 10 users to have access to the same directory/subdirectories on 
the FTP server and all must be able to upload, delete and retrive (full 
access) to the files in these directories.


I want all users to have different usernames/passwords so I can log them, but 
all should have full access to the ftp directories.


How would I set this up? I've tried making all members of the same group, but 
I can't overwrite/delete files other uploaded.


Not sure exactly how you configure it in proftpd, but make those 10 users 
part of the same *primary* group (ie, the one in /etc/passwd) then set 
their umask so that newly created files are group read/write.


I think (but am not sure) that you might be able to do this through 
proftpd.  I know that in samba, I can force new files/directory 
permissions regardless of the user's umask.


good luck.

not describe setting up a master server for serving authoritative DNS

One real important detail, from my experience:  when setting those

Well, it isn't (as the telnet otto 25 test shows, there's nothing

problem is that some computers/servers haven't noticed the change in the

they'll get :


usd217.org  MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = otto.usd217.org

which is obviously wrong. these are DNS servers serving requests for 
other people. These servers have learnt your zone with the old data and 
obviously they haven't udpated yet as the data hasn't expired yet,as 
defined in your SOA.

why not use DHCP? one change only in all the clients (change from static

sure you a) test your settings before releasing ; b) start with a short 
dhcp lease (10 minutes? 30 ? depending on number of hosts , load,etc), 
so problematic settings can 'go away' quicker. Same applies for dns, as

because i never looked up your zone before, so when I just did it, it 
had to go to the authoritative server to look it up. that info is 
correct, hence what I can see is correct.


and for your own sake, if your servers can take it, i'd reduce those 10d 
to whatever delay you are willing to put up with for updates in your 
zone. I just beef up the DNS server and set it to 20 minutes - which 
equates to almost full propagation in about an hour or so (with most of 
the traffic updated within 30 minutes). **YMMV**.

Re: How to get /etc/ssh back

Thanks!

I installed openssh-portable and that worked.

I did have to create symlinks from /etc/ssh to /usr/local/etc/ssh and 
/usr/sbin/sshd to /usr/local/sbin/sshd. In my case, the sshd_program 
line in /etc/rc.conf didn't force the system to use the portable sshd as 
opposed to the base.  Thus, I commented out the line and just used a 
symlink.


Thanks, again!

The system does ask for entropy upon the next reboot but the generation

first of all, /etc/ssh is the config-home of the base ssh that comes
with FreeBSD by default (so you can use make world to get it back)

however the openssh-portable port is storing these config-files
in /usr/local/etc/ssh, if you want to switch to the port instead of the
base-system ssh, then do the following :

sshd_enable=YES
sshd_program=/usr/local/sbin/sshd
(see also : /usr/share/examples/etc/defaults/rc.conf)

after this is working well, imo it's a good idea to
remove /usr/sbin/sshd and /usr/bin/ssh* and /etc/ssh (or
replace them with symlinks to the port-binaries etc.)

Re: 3ware raid disks requiring fsck ing,

  I have started getting failures on a freebsd 4.x machine running 3ware 
 card, the machine had been crashing from time to time, and it crashed and 
 would not reboot saying noufs. 
  Replacing the 3ware card ( a 7002 I think, the older 2 port ones) with a 
 7006 fixed this issue, but since then I have been getting crashes every few 
 weeks/months, where the machine needs to do fsck's on the file partiitions, 
 to come back to life. this is odd for a raid system, and didn't seem to 
 happen before. 
  I am thinking perhaps there is a hardware issue on this machine, and 
 perhaps it fails under load ? 
  does anyone have any experience of this? 
 might the change of card be significant ?

that this problem has really nothing to do with your selection of 
FreeBSD as DNS/mail host, and (barring better failsafe procedures 
like IP number migration) would have occurred regardless of the OS 
chosen. The problem as such is 3rd party systems you can't control.

Proliant 5000 sever Fbsd 5.4 (re)boot problem:
   Hiya,
   
   I've been working on this beasty on and off for some time. It's a Quad
   processor 1 Gbyte of memory and 5 scsi drives using the 2p raid
   controller setup as 2 raid arrays + 1 spare.
   
   The machine works fine with 5.4 release #0 with the supplied generic
   kernel.
   
   The problem(s) I have been having are:
   
   1. When I recompiled the Kernel with SMP support, I get random
reboots. It also fails to boot sometimes failing at the point after
waiting for the scsi drives to settle. I get some error codes and
Fbsd fails to find the boot device.
   
   2. I CVSuped to 5.4 release #2 and recompiled the Kernel with SMP
   support. This does to boot at all. It gets as far as the waiting 15s
for scsi devices to settle, then (appears to) reset the scsi
controller and immediately tries to access the drives (does not
wait). I have tried recompiling with scsi_delay set to 3 (30s)
with no change.
   
   I have checked dmesg and message logs but there is nothing related to
   the problem(s) there.
   
   I have gone back to the 5.4 release #0 single processor kernel for now
   which is a shame as the machine is slow without the multi processor
   support.
   
   The only thing out of the ordinary I have noted is a tx underunn --
   increasing threshold to 512 bytes  message which appears related to
   running kde remotely via vncserver and tinync.
   
   Any ideas, I can send conf files etc if needed.
   
   Thanks
   
   Rob
  
   What are your bios setting?
   My guess is that you have not made the right setting using the siftware
   and configuration utilities
   david
  
  David,
  
  Thanks. The BIOS setting appear ok - OS type is set as UNIX (Small disk
  geometry) and the machine passes all the diagnostics.
  
  Rob
 
  I cannot remember - but I have sneaking notion that you need to set it as
  linux
 
 Tried that too :-). I think that the problem is that with 5.4 release #2
 it is trying to access that scsi drives immediately then inducing the
 kernel panic for 15s.  Rather than inducing the panic 1st.
 
 Rob
 
 
 Did you follow my suggestion and search the HP resources with freebsd and 
 your 
 model.  I have had the same problem myself I am pretty certain it was fixed 
 by changes using the Proliant Essrntial Foundation Pack.. but my memory may 
 not be accurate.
 david

David,

I did update the system and controller ROMs whne the machine was running
windows. I have been on the HP site and as far as I can tell I have the
latest.

Re: Is there a way to connect to a Microsoft VPN?

2005-08-31 Thread Eric Schuele

WOB wrote:


I use /usr/ports/net/pptpclient to connect to a MS VPN endpoint and 
/usr/ports/net/rdesktop to Remote Desktop to my XP machine at the 
office.  Works great.



This sounded like what I needed to do.

When I run the pptp client, it doesn't appear to do anything.  I did the 
following:


 cd /usr/ports/net/pptpclient
 make install clean
 cd /usr/ports/net/rdesktop
 make install clean
 rehash

I found these instructions at FreeBSD Diary and tried to follow them:

 http://www.freebsddiary.org/pptp.php

My connection information is as follows:

 My workplace's outside VPN Name: vpn.wobs-work.com
 My workplace's outside VPN external IP: 100.200.300.16
 My workplace Username: wob
 My workplace Password: wobpassword
 My Workplace's Windows XP Pro PC:  5.10.15.79
 My Workplaces Internal Subnet: 5.10.15.x

 My home FreeBSD's IP: 192.168.1.25
 My FreeBSD's machine NIC: fxp0
 My home router's IP: 192.168.1.1

So I made a /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file:

 WORKVPN:
   set authname wob


If you are authenticating against a domain change the above to
   set authname domain\\wob


   set authkey wobpassword


My auth key is in double quotes.  Possibly due to enclosed punctuation I 
forget.  So try:

   set authkey wobpassword


   set timeout 0
   set ifaddr 0 0
   add 100.200.300.16/24 HISADDR


change the above add to:
   add 5.10.15.0/24 HISADDR
Should be the subnet you will be given an IP address on.  Use 
appropriate mask.



   alias enable yes

Then I ran it as root:
 cd /etc/ppp
 /usr/local/sbin/pptp vpn.wobs-work.com WORKVPN


The above is what I do although I use the IP address.  Name 'should' 
work assuming name resolution is good.




The program seems to run for about 5 seconds, then returns to shell 
prompt.  I then tried:


 /usr/local/sbin/pptp vpn.wobs-work.com WORKVPN --loglevel 2

and:

 /usr/local/sbin/pptp 100.200.300.16 WORKVPN --loglevel 2

But it still did not print out anything.

 ifconfig tun0

displays:

 tun0: flags=8010POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST mtu 1500

I think I might have to add a route command once the tunnel is up.  My 


route should be taken care of for you.

understanding is, is that the pptp client is not supposed to return to 
the shell prompt until I cancel it with a CTRL-C.  


true enough.  Or you can background it and kill it later.  Though I had 
mixed results (cores on occasion) killing it manually.   But it always 
ran fine while up and running.


I normally use my 
home Windows XP Pro box to connect to my works VPN, and then use 
RemoteDesktop to connect to my Work PC - so I know the connections work 
under Windows.  I want to get rid of my home Windows box.


Any suggestions?  I'm kinda new, but I am trying to learn.




once its up and running, your rdesktop command will look like:
   rdesktop -f -a 16 ip_address
 - or if like me you run it on alt port -
   rdesktop -f -a 16 ip_address:port

machine names of course work with functional name resolution.

well, it really all depends to what delay you're happy to live with.
from memory:

Refresh is the one that tells non-authoritative (downstream) DNS servers 
 when to refresh the  data.


expire when to consider it too old to serve it at all (in case your 
authoritative is down)


retry is how often to try to get the real info from your authoritative 
server.


so refresh is the one you really want to focus on for when things work 
ok, and the others for when your server is in trouble ;). I'd say it 
roughly takes 2 times refresh time for propagation to most the network 
(from experience, could be completelly wrong). It also depends on how 
much your zone is cached of course (how many users request this zone 
determines how many non-auth servers you need to worry about).


As I said, I've set some high traffic zones to 20 minutes refresh and it 
works really well for us - YMMV

Pentium and GUI

   I am up against a wall trying to discern which LATEST version will run

   all the time I can budget for looking for this simple info.
   I have release 4.3 - but could download a later release, since the 5.4
   I have on hand will NOT install on a Pentium platform.
   I want to run a FreeBSD hardware firewall along with my Cisco 2514

Re: Mounting a RHLinux 7.1 partition

Isaac Grover wrote:


Good morning everyone,

Due to a hardware failure on my RHLinux 7.1 gateway, I have chosen to
install FreeBSD 5.4 as my new gateway's operating system.  The hard
drive didn't die fortunately, as I did test it on another system to
make sure it booted, and aside from kudzu complaining about some new
and missing hardware, everything was there.

Once I had FreeBSD 5.4 set up, I put the RHLinux drive in the FreeBSD
machine as primary slave.  Manually mounting the drive didn't seem to
work since I could find which /dev/ entry the RHLinux drive ended up
on, and of course fdisk wouldn't help for the same reason.  So I
pulled the RHLinux drive from the FreeBSD machine, set it up as
primary master on another machine, and was going to do the necessary
file copies over the network.  However, now it boots up with the
FreeBSD menu, giving me one option (F1) to boot FreeBSD, and pressing
F1 yields a beep from the PC speaker, and no boot.

What happened to my RHLinux MBR and how can I either: 1) restore the
MBR or 2) retrieve my data?

Thanks in advance,
 



Your drive, if set as primary slave, should have been /dev/ad(da)1
(ad = IDE da=SCSI).  AFAIK these are hard-coded unless something
has changed.  Check the handbook.

When you say manually mounting the drive didn't seem to work
I wonder if you tried hard enough?  FreeBSD can mount some
Linux filesystems.  What filesystem is on this HDD?  Perhaps one of:

mount_cd9660(8), mount_devfs(8), mount_ext2fs(8), mount_fdescfs(8),
mount_hpfs(8), mount_linprocfs(8), mount_msdosfs(8), mount_nfs(8),
mount_ntfs(8), mount_nullfs(8), mount_nwfs(8), mount_portalfs(8),
mount_procfs(8), mount_smbfs(8), mount_std(8), mount_udf(8),
mount_umapfs(8), mount_unionfs(8).

Of those, of course, the only ones I know might help with Linux are ext2
and msdos.  The number of possible permutations is not so large that
you couldn't try them all, since you really want your data.  Note that the
list is a c/p from the manpage and not edited to reality.  AFAIK FreeBSD
doesn't do the reiser fs, which, if that's what you have, would explain
why you couldn't mount the drive.

As for what happened to your MBR, I can't say, as you ran sysinstall
and I dunno which togs you pushed  Someone else may well know
how you might repair your RedHat MBR.  I suppose it's possible that
there are 3rd party programs to help.

It might also be possible to use dd to get the data, but that's a tad
over my head.

And, of course, the obvious question.  Where are your backups? ;-)

This is fine.

Looking back over the thread, you mention that, in cron, you're
running the following:

portsnap cron
portsnap -I update
 ^^

You also say that you think your process isn't functioning because
the ctimes in /usr/ports are too old. You do realize that '-I'
causes portsnap to update INDEX files, but not the rest of the
ports tree (man 8 portsnap).

Before reporting this error, verify that you are running a supported

every few
weeks/months, where the machine needs to do fsck's on the file  
partiitions,
to come back to life. this is odd for a raid system, and didn't  
seem to

happen before.
 I am thinking perhaps there is a hardware issue on this machine, and
perhaps it fails under load ?
 does anyone have any experience of this?
might the change of card be significant ?
 kind regards,
 Gerald de la Pascua

Not sure you are going to SMP on this board under FreeBSD.  I would  
try NetBSD or Linux.

 Hey, I don't even have to try on this one - the lack of updates to the

The general answers are:
- add a virus scanner to your mail server (clamav works well)
- reject mail with invalid local sender addresses
- add some spam controls to your mail server

Specific answers depend on what mail software (sendmail? postfix?
exim? qmail? something else?) you are using and how strict rules you
can apply.

Running a GUI interface desires 64MB of RAM or more, but is  
independent of the type of CPUs you have.

That's a problem which ought to be fixed.  You haven't provided  
enough information to diagnose what's going wrong, however.


Consider trying 4.11 or wait a little bit for 6.0-RELEASE instead.

A virus isn't necessarily 'trying to get into your server'. If you
look at the headers of those emails, it's quite likely that they
originate somewhere else. If they come from someone else's server
but purport to be from your own, it's likely that you are the victim
of a 'spear phishing' attack.

As far as stopping those mails, treat them like any other spam. If
they have viral payloads, you should be using virus detection
somewhere in the chain (preferably near the mail server) to weed
them out anyway.

You're being spammed, some of which contains viruses.
You should install amavisd-new, clamav, and SpamAssassin (or  
bogofilter, etc).

Re: freebsd-questions Digest, Vol 110, Issue 10

2005-08-31 Thread Simon Hewitt
All I can say is download PureFTPd (www.pureftpd.org) and compile with 
the following switch


--with-puredb

(from the main documentation). Install and then follow the directions 
for setting up virtual users 
(http://www.pureftpd.org/README.Virtual-Users) . Create your users and 
start the server with


/usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -j -lpuredb:/etc/pureftpd.pdb 

I was doing this EXACT task today. After arguing for hours with the 
vsftp server I went for this one. After about 15 minutes its now working 
like a dream.


Good luck

Hi,
I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 STABLE and the latest Proftpd. I have a little 
problem I need help with.


I want about 10 users to have access to the same directory/subdirectories 
on the FTP server and all must be able to upload, delete and retrive (full 
access) to the files in these directories.


I want all users to have different usernames/passwords so I can log them, 
but all should have full access to the ftp directories.


How would I set this up? I've tried making all members of the same group, 
but I can't overwrite/delete files other uploaded.


Any help very much appreciated.

Thanks!
Andreas

traceroute -P tcp...?  :-)

The modern BSD traceroute supports all of:

   -P Send packets of specified IP protocol. The  currently   
supported
  protocols  are: UDP, TCP, GRE and ICMP. Other  
protocols may also
  be specified (either by name or by  number),  though   
traceroute
  does  not  implement  any special knowledge of their  
packet for-
  mats. This option is useful for determining which  
router along a
  path  may  be  blocking packets based on IP protocol  
number. But

  see BUGS below.
