Re: troubleshooting network settings
There are a myriad of factors that could have caused those services to be inaccessible. First try to check if those services are running. Try sockstat -4 [EMAIL PROTECTED]> sockstat -4 USER COMMANDPID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS root httpd 504 30 tcp4 *:80 *:* root sshd 474 3 tcp4 *:22 *:* if you don't see that :80 and :22 entry at the "LOCAL ADDRESS" column those services might not be running. If they are not running and you are sure that you have already installed apache from the ports collection, check your /etc/rc.conf file if you have these entries: sshd_enable="YES" apache_enable="YES" If they are both running this could be a problem in the configuration of your firewall. Also check the /etc/hosts file if you have an entry for your localhost. Maybe you're computer cannot open those services because your computer couldn't resolve the ip address of your localhost :) If it is still not working. hmmm. try to verify if the firewall is really the one causing the problem. Add the following line in your /etc/rc.conf file firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="OPEN" if it works. change the firewall type to something more secure.. customize the /etc/rc.firewall and set the firewall_type to which ever setting you think would fit your needs :) hope this helps :) === Gil A.

Restrict access to custom shell scripts
Hi list! I have developped several Bourne shell scripts that help some users to accomplish general tasks by choosing an option from a list of options. Such options include, for example, displaying the size of filesystems, (un)mounting filesystems, user account management (add/remove/lock users, etc). As you can imagine, many of these options will require the user to have superuser authorisations. It would be desirable that only a few users have the permission to execute these shell scripts. Following are my 2 approaches. I don't know which is the best. In addition, but I need some further help details of how to accomplish it, so any hint or suggestion would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. --- APPROACH 1: --- Make root the owner of these shell scripts (rwx). Create a group and make the shell scripts only executable for users belonging to this new group (r-x). For the rest of the world, no permissions. Until here, I see apparently no problems. But what about the permissions to execute some of the commands encapsulated by the shell scripts? For example, adding users, editing crontabs of other users, (un)mounting filesystems... I wouldn't like the users belonging to this new group to have/belong directly root permissions. --- APPROACH 2: --- Create a special user whose shell entry could be the main shell script (the one who shows the menu of options), that is, no /bin/sh entry or alike, instead the full path to the script who shows the main menu. Then the users should be allowed to change their ID to this special user (using su for example). Again, once su'ed to this user, what the superuser permissions required by most of the options showed in the menu?

Hi Iantcho , I dont know for a fact the effect with a power outage, but I use it quite a lot on laptops (which a) freeze sometimes out of nowhere , and b) sometimes dont resume properly,). In both situations, I've usually had geli mounted disks (1 x 6 GB, 1 x 500 MB) running when the events happened. ( as well as a 4 GB swap which is also GELI backed) They (touch wood) haven't suffered data loss. /usr and /var seem be more affected by this ungraceful shutdowns than the .eli devices. I suppose it's all cool thanks to soft-updates, and the fact that GELI encrypts on a per block basis (yeah, no more pgp-busted disks like in Windows :) ). good luck, Beto ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi Iantcho , I dont know for a fact the effect with a power outage, but I use it quite a lot on laptops (which a) freeze sometimes out of nowhere , and b) sometimes dont resume properly,).

Re: Why won't FreeBSD boot from hard drive??
The SATA controller chip is the Intel ICH7R Southbridge RAID Controller. The hard is selected as the boot device; however, it seems to default back to the DVD/CD upon reboot. Even when I disconnect the DVD/CD it doesn't look to the hard drives. I wonder if there is a problem booting the OS from the RAID array? The motherboard manual states "If you want to boot the system from a HD included in a created RAID array, copy first the RAID driver from the support CD to a floppy disk before you install an OS to the selected HD." However, I don't have a floppy drive and I suspect they assume I'm loading Windows. Do you think it makes a difference if I install FreeBSD and then configure the RAID array, or visa-versa? -- Aaron On 5/28/06 12:57, "Kevin Kinsey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Aaron VanAlstine wrote: >> I successfully loaded FreeBSD 6.0 from CD all the way until the system >> reboots; however, the computer seems regard the DVD/CD as the boot hard >> drive and is trying to boot from that.

If this machine worked before, then _something_ has occurred to corrupt data on disk. Some possible reasons are breakin, operator error, or hardware failure. If you're not _sure_ this was caused by operator error, then you should be afraid: either your box was compromised or your hard drives are failing. In either of those scenerios, you need to rebuild the box, possibly after replacing hardware. Hopefully you have backups, if not, you may be forking out good money for a data recovery company to extract your data off a damaged hard drive. If it's a breakin, you might be able to boot the system off a live CD (such as FreeSBIE) and get your data off the drive before rebuilding. If it's a hardware failure, you can try the liveCD thing, but it's less likely to work.

Problems sshing in remotely using pam_ldap

I also noticed that one should use kldxref however when I try to recompile the references it gives me "kldxref: can't read hash table". Is this normal?

Re: What is the maximum file size on a dvd+r ?
Hi The ISOCD9660 standard limits the maximum size of any individual file to 2GB. You can split the file into smaller chunks (which you can reassemble) if you wish to write an ISO compatible disc. However, if you wish to eliminate the restriction entirely, you must write the DVD as an UDF filesystem (ISO/UDF bridge). FreeBSD can quite happily mount UDF discs (though some older DVD-ROM drives might struggle to read them correctly). As regards userspace tools, there is plenty of high quality burning software for FreeBSD that allows you to create UDF discs (i.e. K3b). A "mkudffs" tool could be handy though.

Yes, indeed. I was thinking about doing a similar workaround, but surely there must be a better way of doing this. We need a way for mount to automatically probe the device for filesystems first before attempting to mount the slice. Anyone got any suggestions? Just out of interest, during bootup, what command is executed to probe the devices? If I put a memory card in my reader before booting the system up, the filesystem slices on the card are detected, the device node[s] are created and I can mount it straight away. This is the command I want, rather than having to run a mount command that we know will fail just to create the nodes. Aren. pgp55SXv76OLk.pgp Description: PGP signature

Yes, indeed. I was thinking about doing a similar workaround, but surely there must be a better way of doing this. We need a way for mount to automatically probe the device for filesystems first before attempting to mount the slice. Anyone got any suggestions? Just out of interest, during bootup, what command is executed to probe the devices? If I put a memory card in my reader before booting the system up, the filesystem slices on the card are detected, the device node[s] are created and I can mount it straight away. This is the command I want, rather than having to run a mount command that we know will fail just to create the nodes. Aren. I've not been following this thread too closely, but I think I've had the same problem in the past. I currently get around it by not leaving my media readers plugged in (they're both external USB readers). I insert my media card then plug in the reader and have no problems. I *think* true > /dev/da1 will get devfs to show the slices, but I can't find my old post that has that little bit of info in it. I always thought the device should trigger and event when media was inserted, and that the event should trigger devfs to show the slices Hope that provides insight, Micah ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
freebsd 5.3, gmirror raid 1, PROBLEM
Hi All, I've been running a server using FreeBSD 5.3 and gmirror to mirror two identical IDE hard drives. Its been running great for over a year. But recently everything went down and when I reboot and put a monitor on it I get the following errors on screen: GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider ad1 disconnected GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: provider mirror/gm0 destroyed GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0: rebuilding provider ad0 stopped Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode... (this is followed by details about the fault) These errors are preceded by other related error information that flys by on the screen and I have no way of seeing them again. Does anyone now what steps I should take to figure what is going on and try to recover data or get the machine to boot? Thanks so much, S. - All new Yahoo!

pkg_upgrade?
Hi, I've read the documentation and it seems there's no pkg_upgrade or pkg_update, or a way to install an updated/upgraded package. I'd like to determine if that is indeed the case. I installed 6.0-RELEASE from a CD and then installed such packages as X.org and Firefox (using pkg_add -r). That gave me, for example, the latest Firefox that was available for 6.0-RELEASE, i.e., 1.0.7, but I wanted to install 1.5. However, when I downloaded the 1.5 .tbz from ftp.freebsd.org and tried to use pkg_add on it, it complained that Firefox was already installed. I then decided to upgrade the OS to 6.1-RELEASE via ftp by using sysinstall. AFAICT, the upgrade of the base system went OK (except for the fact that /etc/motd and uname still refer to 6.0-RELEASE). However, the installation of X.org packages did not go well, starting with errors in trying to install the expat package. The documentation mentions portupgrade and portmanager as mechanisms to upgrade ports, but if I'm not mistaken these invoke source updates, not a binary upgrade as was done for the OS. It appears that the only way to upgrade in binary form is to use pkg_delete -f to remove each package, e.g., expat 1.98, and then pkg_add to get the newer (2.0) version. And then you have to be extra careful with dependencies between packages. I don't have any major problems with upgrading from sources (assuming they build cleanly as expected), but I wanted to explore the binary upgrading route first to determine how easy it would be for someone without much technical abilities to install FreeBSD and some user packages and maintain it without getting involved in recompiling sources.

If you want to create a file-backed GELI encrypted file (similar to a PGP Disk in Windows), then you dont need to touch your partitions at all - simply create the file. If you want to have, for example, /usr encrypted, then you need, /dev/ad0s1f.eli instead of . /dev/ad0s1f - you dont believe you need to repartition, but you'll need to wipe all the data and to encrypt the device.

Newsyslog read that file when it needed to rotate the log files, and it found the number "30076" in that file. However, there was no process 30076 running at that time. Therefore, newsyslog has to assume that whatever process *is* writing to that file has not been notified that the file has changed. So it will not compress the httpd-error.log.0 file. So, you need to find out where the new version of apache is storing the active process-id (pid) for itself. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Ask on the PPC list. Probably the PPC project needs additional developers though. This would be a great opportunity for someone who cares about FreeBSD/PPC to step up and become involved.

Unusual; I'd think the loopback _should_ be set up correctly. `ifconfig lo0 -inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0` ??

Kyrre, CVS is a version control tool. A version control tool manages changes to information, sometimes among multiple people. It sounds like to me like you really need a version control tool for what you want to do. CVS is a good choice for this, Subversion is better. Yes, there might be scripts that accomplish this, but most (good) version control tools will: - allow you to manage changes to data over time - remember every change ever made to your data, allowing you to recover older versions, or see the history of how it changed - allow access across networks, which allows it to be used by people on different computers - give you the ability for various people to modify and manage (i.e. collaborate on) the same set of data from their respective locations (The above was paraphrased from "Version Control with Subversion", by Collins-Sussman, Fitzpatrick, and Pilato, v1.2, Ch 1.) You will run into this problem over and over again. Do yourself a favor and learn how to use a good version control system now, or else you will find yourself doomed to reinvent it, poorly.
