jdow, I define it by the RFC's.  If the mailserver you are fetchmailing
from has mail in it's mailbox for you to fetch, then according to the
SMTP RFC, delivery has occurred from the spammer.

I understand that these days people seem to like to redefine words
to suit their beliefs of how something should work, but just because
you want to "define it your way" doesen't make it technically correct.

I'm going to continue answering your message here mainly for the
other readers who might be interested in the discussion.  You can just
quit reading now since if your going to start redefining terms for
e-mail to something other than what the standard defines them as,
discussion with you is completely pointless.  I wonder what would
happen if you went to your wife and told her that your going to
redefine marriage to mean that you can sleep with some other woman.
Hell, let's all let everyone redefine words however they like.
After all if it's good enough for the President of the USA, then
it's good enough for Joe Blow, right?!?!

I do feel sorry for you since this attitude is the same attitude of the
person with a broken down car who doggedly replaces part after part
until he stumbles over the broken part by accident, rather than
actually learning how the thing works so he can troubleshoot it
properly.

I am stating the facts of how your setup works and it's inherent flaws,
and you obviously don't want to hear them, so you can just go away.
All systems have flaws, and if the truth of the flaws in
the system your running is too much for you to bear, then you are
going to be happier ignorant.

Correct.

Also correct.

No, not at all, you do.

The typical M.O. for today's spammer is to find a system that has
been compromised that they can use for relaying.  Either a end-users
system that's got a trojan in it, or a mailserver.  These are used as
a transmission device.

When these transmitters get cranked up, they go from mailserver to
mailserver, dumping hundreds to thousands of spams and spam attempts
to the server.  Once they exhaust their dictionaries and lists, they
move on to the next server.

When you do ALL spamfiltering in post-delivery mode as you do, then
nothing prevents the transmitter from delivering hundreds of spams
to your server and users.  This takes a lot of machine load to
deal with.

The more pre-delivery filtering that you can do the less the load.
If you blacklist by IP address then when the transmitter hits your
server, if it's on a blacklist then not a single one of it's spams
gets delivered, and your system spends 0 CPU time in post-processing
(ie: stuff like virus scanning, content scanning, etc.)

>From the users point of view, whether you pre-filter or post-filter,
the amount of mail tagged as spam or blocked as spam doesen't change.
But the load on the server for pre-filtering is far less than for
post-filtering.  That is obvious to anyone who takes the time to
understand how mail works.

You are utterly full of bullcrap.  In the last 3 years that the ISP
I work at has used blacklists, we have had a grand total of ONE
customer complain.  This is on a server with tens of thousands of
mailboxes and hundreds of domains.  And our blacklists are set so that
if they reject mail, a complete error message is included as to why
they are being blacklisted.

In fact, not only have we only had 1 customer complain, we have had
DOZENS of adminstrat

You can try stat() to pick up the creation/ last modified date.

Hello,


during boot up there's a prompt which says to hit enter to boot /kernel or
something like that. It times out after 10 seconds (default). Hit any other
key than enter and type "boot-s" to boot in single user mode. You should
then get a shell prompt where you run these commands: 


# fsck -p 
# mount -a -t ufs 
# swapon -a

acronis question

[cp]

 hi maybe you can help!
 I have purchased an external hd which came with the acronis true image
virsion 2.00.
 I made an image of my pc drive which is installed on the ex hd .
 This is where the confusion starts!
  When reading the instructions to make the image i was reccomended to
make a disc
 which is to be used to access the data from the ex hd should my pc
crash.
  My main question is .Is the cd i used to make the image also the cd
which i need to use should
  i need to draw the image from my ex  hd?
  Sorry if my mail is that of a relative newcomer to pc use ,but that is
the case.

ciss0: *** Parity/consistency initialization ...

I'm in the process of bringing up a new HP DL360 server ... I configured 
it as a RAID1+0, and everything is looking good ... just noticed this on 
the console:


ciss0: *** Parity/consistency initialization complete, logical drive 0
ciss0: logical drive 0 () completed consistency initialisation

the way I'm reading it, this doesn't look like something to panic about, 
but just want to make sure while I still have it in the shop ...

Hello,

You should update the Ports tree first, which will include the latest
Apache 1.3.34:

# cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
# make install
# make clean

Create /etc/cvsupfile:
*default  host=cvsup2.FreeBSD.org
*default  base=/usr
*default  prefix=/usr
*default  release=cvs
*default  tag=none
*default  delete use-rel-suffix
*default tag=.
ports-all
doc-all  

# /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L2 /etc/cvsupfile

# cd /usr/ports/www/apache13
# make install clean

Yeah ... I know how to do that ... I wasn't asking how to rsync it, I was
asking how I could:

a) keep remote root logins _disabled_

and

b) keep default freebsd permissions on the /usr/home directory

and still do the rsync ... in your example, you are remotely logging in as
root, which I want to avoid.

Any suggestions ?

be triggered when the link comes up or goes down respectively.  See
ppp(8) for details and /usr/share/examples/ppp for examples.

Mine uses PPPoA.  Is it still possible to use these scripts?

vnc server problems/amd64

[Wojciech Puchar]

FreeBSD 6.0 amd64

i tried to run it but crashes on first X client started

as i386 version works i replaced Xvnc with i386 version - now works

as long as i don't run any gtk/gdk based program

then i got:

The program 'gimp' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'.
  (Details: serial 294 error_code 10 request_code 129 minor_code 5)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() 
function.)



is anyone running VNC with FreeBSD here?

Perhaps you need to refresh your shared library cache -- run "ldconfig -R".

Is there a particular reason why you're purposely using a back-level version
of libm?  libm.so.4 is the version that is part of with 6.x.  If you don't
need a specific version, then use the -l option to link, like this:

g++ -o winmain winmain.o -lm `wx-config --libs gl,media,std,core,base`

i do:

how should I (best practice) set up permissions for rsync ?

[user]

Hi,

I want to rsync /usr/home from one machine to another, for purposes of
backup.

This would be a cinch if I just rsyncd -e ssh, as user "root" from one
machine to another.  The cron job runs with root perms, and the
destination machine gets logged into as root and can write into the
destination /usr/home.

However, I sort of like the idea that root cannot ssh directly into a
freebsd machine, by default.  I am inclined not to change this.

I also would like to keep default /usr/home permissions as they are.

So how should I do this ?

Thanks.

Re: FTP stopped working - resend

[Jay O'Brien]

(Resent as I didn't get a copy)

Giorgos and Derek, 

Thank you for your replies. I don't know what happened, but all of 
a sudden ftp started working again. It could have been the Win XP 
machine I was using to access ftp on my server, I don't know. It 
was working fine, using WS_FTP Pro, to my other servers over the 
internet, but it wouldn't work here on its own LAN. I looked at 
xferlog, and saw that connection lines were entered, but the FTP 
LOGIN line wasn't there. Now that it is working, both lines show up 
in xferlog, as before. 

Giorgos, thanks for the example commands; All agree with your 
example returns except 'netstat -na | fgrep LISTEN | grep [:.]21', 
which returns 'grep: No match'. Am I missing something here? Thanks 
for the troubleshooting steps, I will review those commands and see 
what they do for me.

Giorgios, you say "Stability is nice, isn't it? :)". Yes. But the 
problem is that it works so well for so long that I forget all I ever 
knew, and now it is obvious that I should update the system. I guess 
it's time to dust off the FreeBSD hat.

Darek, It stopped working before I rebooted, and I have done literally 
nothing to this machine, except use Apache and ftp, for nearly a year.
What is frustrating is that the problem went away!

What now concerns me is that I did not receive a copy of my own post 
on this problem from the mailing list server, and I didn't get Giorgos' 
cc sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I used to get my posts back, 
but that was before I changed to this gmail account. If I don't receive 
this post, I'll go after that as a different problem. My ftp problem is 
"gone", but now a mailing list problem?

Thanks again for the assistance.

First check that you truly have the ftpd binary:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root# ls -l /usr/libexec/ftpd
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  96360 Jan  8 13:00 /usr/libexec/ftpd

Then see if ftpd is supposed to start as 'standalone' or as a
service controlled by inetd:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root# grep ftp /etc/rc.conf
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root# grep inetd /etc/rc.conf
inetd_enable="YES"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root# pgrep inet
651
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root# grep '^[[:space:]]*ftp' /etc/inetd.conf
ftp stream  tcp nowait  root/usr/libexec/ftpd   ftpd -l

If inetd is running, pgrep should report its PID as above.
Seeing no PID means that inetd failed to start.  Your system logs
at /var/log/messages will almost certainly have clues about the
reason of the failure.

Then, start checking if something *is* listening at port 21:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root# netstat -na | fgrep LISTEN | grep [:.]21
tcp4   0  0  *.21   *.*LISTEN
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root# sockstat -4 -l -p 21
USER COMMANDPID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS
root inetd  651   5  tcp4   *:21  *:*
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root#

If you don't have any indication how ftpd was started it's possible that
you manually fired up ftpd and then promptly forgot about it, until you
had to reboot.  Stability is nice, isn't it? :)

Jay,

By default ftp logs in the system log so tail that log file as you try
to ftp.  That should point you to the problem.

As it was working until you rebooted, what changed before the reboot? 
Did you add tcp wrappers or other security measures?

Matrox G450 DVI console

[Mark Knight]

Running an up-to-date 6.0-STABLE with xorg-6.8.2.  System is a dual Dell 
PIII with a PCI Matrox G450 to a single DVI flat panel on screen one. No 
second monitor.  mga_hal port installed.


It all works a treat until I switch from X back to the console with 
SHIFT-ALT-F1.  This give me a blank screen with a monitor driven pop-up 
showing "Invalid refresh rate".  If I then ALT-F7 to switch back to X 
the display returns normally.


Any idea how I can get a clean switch from X to the console please?

For logs see:

  

Disabling ACPI (on a hunch from Google) didn't make any difference.

each other

it seems to have limit to 390M

Could you teach me how to max the network throught?

I use the freebsd as router

I couldn't put in the production to test it

Thank you for your help

5.3 Kernel module with 6.0

[Rainer Hungershausen]

Hi there!

I've got a Highpoint RocketRAID 454 Controller running under FreeBSD 5.3.
It needs a binary only driver (hpt374.ko) to run.
I'd like to upgrade to 6.0 for several reasons, but the latest driver
module from highpoint is for 5.3.
So here's my question:
Is it possible to simply run the 5.3 kernel module under 6.x? In
theory this could work if the kernel interfaces haven't changed,
right?

Please also respond directly to me since I am not subscribed to this list.

Thanks for your help,
Rainer

Slow 2d performance in X / opera / nvidia drivers

I've been having terrible 2d performance with opera (linux-opera and 
native 8.51 and 9.0) using the nvidia drivers.  When I windowshade it 
and then restore it there is a sizeable delay while it redraws the 
window.  If I rapidly shade and restore the window my idle CPU time 
goes to 0% and mp3 playback will occassionally skip.

The problem first started when Opera 8 was released, I hoped that 
further releases would address it but so far that has not been the 
case.  Any suggestions for a fix welcome.

(Yes, I have been seeking support on opera.com but this feels like a 
FreeBSD mis-configuration of some sort on my end. :)

Re: Setting up a FreeBSD gateway (more detail) and IPFW

[Dan O'Connor]

Thanks to those who replied to my previous call for help. Now I think 
it's time I actually provide some relevant detail.




Ideally, I'd like to be able to leave my workstation's network 
settings alone, and set up DHCP; however, a look over the ports 
suggests that's far more trouble than it's worth for a single client 
that doesn't really need such flexibility.


I don't have any servers running on my workstation, so I've no need to 
allow traffic from the 'net to get through the firewall to the 
LAN(servers on the gateway itself are another matter). However, the 
firewall is still my biggest challenge.


A DHCP server *looks* challenging to set up...but it's really a snap!
See my example at http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/sheet.cgi?dhcp

Also, check out my firewall setup: 
http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/sheet.cgi?ipfw


I don't use named, I just allow outbound DNS lookups through the 
firewall. Also, my DHCP server points clients at my ISP's DNS servers...


Hope this helps,

~Dan

RE: installing dovecot: no dovecot-openssl.conf

[Webster, Andrew]

Unless you absolutely need SSL support, edit the configuration so as not
to use SSL.
If you do want to use SSL, you will probably want to generate yourself a
self-signed certificate, and then get a real cert from a 3rd party cert
provider when you are ready to go into production.  See
http://www.openssl.org/docs/HOWTO/certificates.txt
Place the resulting files in the expected locations, and give it a go.

FreeBSD and mpd

[jhall]

Recently, I upgraded from FreeBSD 4.8 to FreeBSD 6.0.  And, I upgraded mpd
from version 3.17 to 3.18.

After the upgrade, several sites began experiencing problems maintaining
their connections (especially under high traffic loads).  When I put the
4.8 server back in place, everything began working normally again.

This is really perplexing to me since I use FreeBSD 6 and mpd in several
locations without any problems.

The server is a Celeron processor with 128 MB of RAM, and two em
interfaces.  I have also added ipf support to the kernel.  I am not seeing
any errors in the logs concerning either interface.  And, I am not seeing
any error messages in the MPD log.

Does anyone know of any problems with mpd 3.18 on FreeBSD?  Or, can
someone suggest a good testing strategy to determine where the problem
lies?

Thanks,



Jay

Re: 6.0 on Apple's Intel Developer Platform?

[Dan O'Connor]

I can get the 6.0 CD1 to boot ok on Apple's Intel Developers Platform 
but the usb keyboard is not recognized.  Do I have to do something 
special to use a USB keyboard? There is no PS/2 keyboard or mouse port 
on that platform.


Did you try "7. Boot FreeBSD with a USB keyboard" at the boot menu?

Thank for the quick reply.

I just want to clarify a few things here Given that I only want 
outbound NAT on one interface, is it really necessary to run four 
instances of NATd? Can't one instance handle outbound NAT + inbound 
sessions on all interfaces, as I have it setup? Also, you're using a 
whole bunch of options and features here that are not documented on the 
natd man page. I found a writeup by the author of these features, but 
I'm not certain if that's in the -STABLE branch or not. (IE, will these 
options work with a 6.0-RELEASE natd?)


Also, I'm not certain how your forward rules would work when mine do 
not, as you're doing the same thing I did - NAT Translation, then 
forward to the appropriate gateway. My experience is that forwarding 
packets to the appropriate gateway *does* *not* *work*, as they all 
leav

Re: Dual Core vs HyperThreading vs Dual CPU

[Wojciech Puchar]

I'm going to assume that Dual Core is better (can't believe that they took a 
step back) ... but, is how does it rate?  I know that HyperThreading is 
definitely != Dual CPU ... but how close does Dual Core get?



Dual Core = two physical CPUs, possibly sharing L2 cache.

HyperThreading = double sets of registers, machine states etc... for 
single CPU making it look like 2 CPUs. when one "CPU" has to wait for say 
memory access, it then executes program from other thread.


it means it can be faster than single CPU, but of course much slower than 
2 CPUs. because this strategy make cache data shared and often switched 
between two different threads, it can result slower performance.


the net effect is positive in Intel's tests, but very little positive-to 
little negative in practice like FreeBSD servers.


Many users end in running single-CPU kernel because it actually works 
faster.

There is extensive evidence (google for that, please), that
HT is even slower than a single core in quite a few applications.
Moreover, the whole HT implementation has been shown to
be a security risk. In the near future intel is going to spend $1.9bn
on its new marketing campaign. If you wanna be part of it,
buy their CPU, half of the money will be in your nearest billboard.

Dual-core is a new, and a very smart concept, which is exactly
equal to a dual-cpu configuration in terms of performance per
core - plus it provides a huge cut down on power consumption,
and a theoretically hugely faster interconnection between the
cores (they are physically many times closer).

By 2010 we'll see 4-core, 8-core and maybe even 16/32 solutions.

Thanks for your patience and explaining first!

I've created a group file inside the chroot directory, it looks just like:

wheel:*:0:root,cvs
nobody:*:65534:
cvs:*:1002:jose

but it is still unable to work.
And I exec ./commitcheck in local directory,

./commitcheck line 13.

So should I creat above files to the chroot environment manually?
Because I'm afraid of I don't know exactly how to dig a bit deeper into Perl

Maybe I should quit, but I just wanna use the feature of expanding a tag(cvs
keyword) like 'FreeBSD'.
When I modify CVSROOT/config to add my setting of KeywordExpand, cvs always
failed.
How could I get a solution to solve this?

Re: Abort signal

Maybe some sysctl magic? See below:

$ ./a.out
Abort trap: 6 (core dumped)

# sysctl -w kern.coredump=0
kern.coredump: 1 -> 0

$ ./a.out
Abort trap: 6
(No corefile here, see?)

# sysctl -w kern.coredump=1
kern.coredump: 0 -> 1

$ ./a.out

That's a hefty nat command. Let's simplfy by putting it in a file. I
leave the port forwarding to you.

/etc/rc.conf

natd_enable="yes"
natd_flags="-f /etc/natd.conf"

/etc/natd.conf

instance default
interface vr0
port 8668

instance telus2
interface vr1
port 8669

instance shaw1
alias_address 24.85.93.xxx
port 8670

instance shaw2
alias_address 24.85.93.xxx
port 8671

globalport 8672


I see that your firewall is based on rc.firewall. Forget rc.firewall, it
is junk. Base your firewall on this structure.

1. Public Interface NAT Diversion

2. check-state

3. Public Interface Leak Prevention
3.1 deny egress from internal hosts
3.2 deny ingress to internal hosts

4. Antispoof
4.1 allow via loopback interface
4.2 deny ingress from router
4.3 deny ingress from internal hosts via public interface

5. Router
5.1 allow egress
5.2 deny egress
5.3 allow ingress
5.4 deny ingress

6. Internal Hosts
6.1 allow egress
6.2 deny egress
6.3 allow ingress
6.4 deny ingress

7. Default Deny

Dual Core vs HyperThreading vs Dual CPU

[Marc G. Fournier]

I'm going to assume that Dual Core is better (can't believe that they took 
a step back) ... but, is how does it rate?  I know that HyperThreading is 
definitely != Dual CPU ... but how close does Dual Core get?

Run "systat" if it shows two CPUs you have dual core.

Yes ... but, what I'm more curious about is how do I know that the first 
CPU is Dual-Core?  When I boot the machine without an OS, it just reports 
one CPU, but is that to be expected until I get the OS up itself?  Or 
shoudl the POST screens be showing it as two CPUs (4 if I had a second 
Dual Core in it?) ... or, are all Xeon's now Dual-Core, period?

md(4)

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f your_iso.iso

then it prints name of device (in my case md1)

then 
mount_cd9660 /dev/md1 /mnt

and after you have finished 
umount /mnt

Re: Xorg - how to disable some video modes?

[gandalf]

You seem to know more than me the xorg.conf file. What happened if you 
separate

your Modes like this:

Modes   "1024x768_100.00" "1280x1024_85.00"

Mine are separated and all works fine. If you can't find answer before 
7 p.m.

(GMT) I will test some changes on my config.



Thanks for trying. It does not work for me. I found that xfce4's control 
panel is able to switch between 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480. (Xfce 
also resizes the virtual size.) I don't know how it can do it because 
theoretically the only valid modes are 1024x768 and 1280x1024.


If I remove "DefaultDepth 24" then Ctrl-Alt-Plus works fine and I'm able 
to switch from 1900x1440 to 640x480; but then the default mode becomes 
1900x1440 again :-(

Look no further than the base system. mdconfig(8) the image file, and
then mount_cd9660(8) the device node.

Is there such a thing as a virtual CD drive in the Ports. Something that 
allows you to treat an ISO image file - data or audio - as though it 
were a real CD in a real drive? Like Nero ImageDrive in Windows.


TIA

Regards,

Mark

After many years of using FreeBSD, and as many reboots or more, I had

I did the best I could with the resulting mess, but I am curious if
anyone else has seen this, or what would cause it.  This is the same
hardware I have been running for a couple of years now, and I haven't

Thanks,

Just an idea, but maybe the BIOS battery ran out of power and needs to
be replaced.

ADIC FastStor 2

[Christopher Umina]

Hello,

   I'm currently running multiple FreeBSD 5.4 systems, but I'm  
looking to do backup services on three specific systems.  A friend  
told me to look into ADIC autochangers and I think the FastStor 2 is  
adequate.  I was wondering if this autochanger is compatible with  
FreeBSD 5.4.  I don't see it on the hardware compatibility list, but  
Google shows me lists where its in people's dmesg's.


   Secondly, I was looking into Veritas as a backup utility.  I was  
wondering thoughts on the Veritas system on FreeBSD.


Thank you,

[My apologies for not jumping into this thread early, in spite of
 Ertan's polite email of inquiry. Vacations, yada yada etc :-).]

I can confirm this too. After my last go-around with this box I was able
to get it running by removing uhci:

(### is the symbol I use for something that's been commented out for

However, I'm occassionally seeing the box spontanouesly reboot:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/sys/i386/conf]# uptime

It's not all that often, though I can occassionally trigger it with a
buildworld/buildkernel (which is what killed it yesterday).

Debugging and invariants are turned off in the kernel, and I currently
lack the knowledge to do much with the vmcore in any case :-)

The crashes are very likely unrelated to the usb problem (this box also
runs pf and ipsec, either of which could be unhappy). I'm interested in
hearing about stability of other 1600Rs under load.

[Fwd: Discovering File System Corruption]

[Bret Walker]

I have a 6.0-RELEASE-p1 box with a GENERIC kerbnel that I'm having some
trouble with.

I recently reconstituted the machine from being a 5.4 box. I didn't
upgrade, I reinstalled.

When I was trying to install tripwire, kept getting this message:
"./bin/i386-unknown-freebsd_r/siggen missing. Build did not complete
successfully.
*** Error code 1"

I CVSupped a few times, even deleting the tripwire directory completely
and letting CVSup re-add it. I finally fixed the problem by copying the
missing file from another box.

The maintainer of the the port wrote to me:
" The missing files were missing from the distfile extraction, not the port.
The distfile failed to extract properly. That indicates that either tar
failed (unlikely) or that you have some kind of filesystem problem. You
have a problem much more serious than a mere port that failed to build."

I have run fsck in single user mode many times, each time coming back clean.
I ran fsck -f -p, to make sure I wasn't having any problems like this (
http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-current_2003/msg04802.html ).

How can I determine what is going on? Do I have filesystem corruption,
or is something else going on?

Figure out what SCSI bus the boot disk is on, and wire it down (see
scsi(4) for syntax) so that you can specify a fixed disk in fstab(5).

you need to get out more, Ted, if you think cars
haven't improved much in 20 years. I know you
can't afford a BMW or Mercedes, but you can test
drive them for free if you put on a nice suit.
Drive a '95 BMW and a 2005 and you'll see there
are huge differences in power, handling, brakes
and a whole lot of stuff you can't see, not to
mention safety. Anti-skid brakes were a joke when
they first came out; now I can stop on a dime.
Traction control actually works now.

But computers are not comparable to cars. It
might make sense to keep an old car going as a
new car depreciates much more than your time is
worth in the first year, and they aren't cheap.

I know that and your arguing out of your hat -
simply pulling statements

the "to you" in the

context told you that.

Unfortunately in the spam game, it only matters
if the spammer
thinks they didn't successfully deliver it to
you.  And that only
happens if the machine delivering the spam gets
an error when
trying to deliver it, since the spammer isn't
using legitimate
senders addresses and cannot get feedback any
other way.

would use the
IP blacklists in the way they are intended - to

Sonny, you define it your way and I'll define it mine. The object

the machine load for spam as low as possible. You have a priority
inversion there.

Changing them where?  Not in the system headers I hope.

You are headed down the wrong path.  You are not supposed to 'get
involved' with the /usr/include files by manually making changes to
them.  If you know what you are doing, the right place to make changes
is /usr/src, and then a build & install cycle.

YIKES. This is what happens when you put
pimply-faced kids in charge of important things
like mail. The "carpet bomb MECCA in order to
kill a few terrorists" approach to computing. Its
frightening.

I know that and your arguing out of your hat - simply pulling statements
out of context.  You know perfectly well that the "to you" in the
sentence was to your machine, the paragraph context told you that.

Unfortunately in the spam game, it only matters if the spammer
thinks they didn't successfully deliver it to you.  And that only
happens if the machine delivering the spam gets an error when
trying to deliver it, since the spammer isn't using legitimate
senders addresses and cannot get feedback any other way.

I've never been a fan of post-filters for this reason.  For some
kinds of filtering - like content filtering for example - that
is the only way you can do it.  But I think it the height of
strangeness when SA checks blacklists and such to assign scores.
If they really cared about spamfiltering, they would use the
IP blacklists in the way they are intended - to block access
completely to the spammer, not even let them connect to the
server at all.  The mail that SA is assigning scores on based on
an IP blacklist shouldn't even be in the SA filter to begin with.

No, but I can replace the Rube Goldberg fetchmail arraingement your
using with a real mailserver that is on the Internet all the time
and can make use of blacklist servers and such.

And yes, I'm just as good at making smart-alecky comments as you
are.  Probably better at it, actually.  Do you want to knock it
off and go back to the technical merits discussion now? ;-)

ip_icmp.h strange problem

[SPYRIDON PAPADOPOULOS]

Hi,

I am include ip_icmp.h to a program. The icmp struct in there is exactly the 
same with the one on:
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/netinet/ip_icmp.h?v=TRUSTEDBSD-AUDIT3 
(this is just the first exactly the same struct i found online)
I am using FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #1

I have already included header files like tcp.h, ip.h, udp.h etc in my program.

Now when i am trying to compile my program with the command:
#gcc -o capTool capTool0.1 -lpcap

it gives me syntax errors, where n_short values appear: lines: 60, 61, 67, 68 
and 89 (in my ip_icmp.h).
   71, 72, 78, 79 and 100 (on the online one).

After changing the first four to "u_short ..." it compiles properly...
This also happened with some value in ip.h. However i am not sure which one 
now, because i changed it and it worked immediately (so i didn't even note what 
exactly i changed..and since it worked to be honest i didn't mind)
the problem is with the value in line 89:
n_time its_otime;/* Originate */

even if i change that to:
 u_time its_otime; /* Originate */
it still gives me syntax error before "n_time" or "u_time"

Can anyone help and explain briefly - if possible - how is this happening? I 
cannot believe that the n_* values are wrong, but are working when changing 
them to u_*.
I like getting involved with the system header files...but it doesn't really 
look appropriate to me ;o), or it is?

This message is written quickly in case the problem is known. I can provide 
with any required information if needed.

Please advice
thank you in advance

Here is the config. I made a mistake. You were right. I forgot to use

Without "DefaultDepth 24" it starts with 1900x1440. With "DefaultDepth

Re: System time suddenly changed after reboot.

[Mark Ovens]

Scott Ballantyne wrote:

Running 5.3-RELEASE.

After many years of using FreeBSD, and as many reboots or more, I had
occasion to reboot today, and a few hours later discovered to my
horror that the system time had suddenly been moved ahead to the year
2020!

I did the best I could with the resulting mess, but I am curious if
anyone else has seen this, or what would cause it.  This is the same
hardware I have been running for a couple of years now, and I haven't
changed anything in the bios or system.



I had that problem back with early versions of 5.x - up to 5.3 IIRC - 
except that it happened with 9 out of 10 reboots for me.


After weeks of trying to solve the problem it turned out to be the 
keyboard!!1 Yes, the fscking keyboard. It's a Compaq USB and I'm 
guessing that there is something non-standard about it (it won't work 
when connected to a PS/2 port via an adaptor for instance).


Don't know whether this helps you.

RE: Compaq ProLiant 1600 server freezes when detecting keyboard

[Ertan Küçükoğlu]

Good news,

System boots flawlessly after removing USB and Firewire in GENERIC kernel.

Well, maybe FreeBSD should implement an option to disable certain device 
detection during install time, too.

Thanks for the USB hint. You saved a lot of time for me to find the problem.

Advanced IPFW2 Forward rule problem / bug / misunderstanding

[Andrew Fremantle]

Hello,

I have searched the lists for information pertaining to this problem, 
but I haven't been able to find anything relevant to my attempted usage 
of IPFWs "forward" action. If there are any preexisting threads that 
address my concern, please direct me to them.


I have also sent this message to the freebsd-ipfw list, as this seems 
consistent with some other threads I see in their archive.


Here's the situation :

I have two ISPs, each providing two IPs. One of these ISPs is providing 
IPs on totally different subnets, and is MAC sensitive. I have two 
internal servers (Actually, just one listening on two addresses), and I 
want this server to be available externally to both ISPs. (We're 
migrating ISPs, and we don't want any interruption in service). I am 
using port forwarding in NATd to allow the necessary ports through to 
the server. My problem comes with the replies - FreeBSD has only one 
default gateway, and all traffic going out, regardless of which external 
IP address it is from, goes to that gateway. Since ISP2 doesen't care 
much for routing traffic from ISP1, and vice-versa, I have a problem.


I should note here that I am not trying to load balance - I am perfectly 
happy with all outbound LAN connections being NATted over one link, I 
just need the ability to service inbound connections on all four IPs.


I am using forward rules in my firewall to match packets belonging to 
these other interfaces, to forward them to the appropriate gateway. 
According to the manpage for ipfw, "If /ipaddr/ is not a local address, 
then the port number (if specified) is ignored, and the packet will be 
forwarded to the remote address, using the route as found in the local 
routing table for that IP." I interpret that as "The packet's next hop 
will be compared to the routing table, and routed out the appropriate 
interface to reach that next hop". The problem is that doesen't seem to 
be happening. I have tried fiddling a few knobs to no effect - 
specifically net.inet.ip.fastforwarding, net.inet.ip.sourceroute and 
net.inet.ip.accept_sourceroute.


Telus is the "legacy" ISP, so when I'm trying these rules all the 
inbound server requests are from the two Telus interfaces. I have 
numbered a rule here "42000". This rule will catch all kinds of packets 
outbound from ${ext1_ip}:80 and ${ext1_ip}:443 to clients on the internet.


This tells me my inbound NAT translation is working, the packets are 
getting to the server, replies are coming back, they're matching my 
forward rules, but still going out the wrong interface anyways!


As attached as I am to the idea of doing this via ipfw, if anyone has 
any suggestions on alternate methods to achieve the same results, I'd 
love to hear them!!!


On to the technical details - I have obscured IP addresses here, but the 
networks and subnet masks remain the same

As others have pointed out: [ is a synonym for test(1), which uses -gt, 
-ge, -eq, -ne, -lt, -le for numeric comparisons. For string comparisons, 
it uses <, !=, =, and >.

Your original expression didn't work because "<" is also a shell 
meta-character used to indicate file redirection. To get something like 
that to work, you'd need to quote it somehow:

if [ "$a" \< "$b" ]; then ... ; fi

or

if [ "$a" '<' "$b" ]; then ... ; fi

Re: Xorg - how to disable some video modes?

[gandalf]

Referring to 
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=381412

(for example), you should be able to add a "DefaultDepth 24" line in your
screen section, with your Modes listed as Martin said. Of course, this is
useful only if you have more than one mode listed in your xorg.conf.


I only have one mode listed, and I have DefaultDepth. But when I start 
the X server, it starts in 1900x1440.

I can attach my xorg.conf file, if it helps.

Take a look in which "SubSection" you make the changes... If you prefer
24 bit colour, set the mode like this, and don't forget to add the line
with "DefaultDepth", so X knows in which colour mode you want to start.

Section "Screen"

Just an idea, but maybe the BIOS battery ran out of power and needs to

I'll appreciate if anyone directly sends me, or gives me a working link to

Btw, this box is 5.4-release setup box. I cvsuped 6.0-stable sources. I may 
try to disable USB in GENERIC kernel. Re-compile and try with this kernel if 
this is the test that should be done. I'll give this a try while waiting for a

System time suddenly changed after reboot.

[Scott Ballantyne]

Running 5.3-RELEASE.

After many years of using FreeBSD, and as many reboots or more, I had
occasion to reboot today, and a few hours later discovered to my
horror that the system time had suddenly been moved ahead to the year
2020!

I did the best I could with the resulting mess, but I am curious if
anyone else has seen this, or what would cause it.  This is the same
hardware I have been running for a couple of years now, and I haven't
changed anything in the bios or system.

Thanks,
Scott
