Need help with IPv4/IPv6

[Rob Berens]

This is a repost of an earlier message. I have some problems that seem to be 
related to the interoperation of ipv4

client programs and ipv6 servers or the other way round.
Does anyone have some examples of how to configere FreeBSD to have a smooth 
interoperation of IPv4 and IPv6? What lines do I have to add to 
/etc/rc.conf.


I'm running FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE. My problems are listed below.

Does anyone have some simple


I have the following problems:

MySQL and JDBC client
--

I run MySQL 5.1 server at the FreeBSD machine.
The msyql jconnecter version is 5.0.4.

Via netstat I can see MySQL run as a tcp4 server only.
When connecting to mysql from the server running mysql via the mysql client
program everything works as expected.
When connecting from a remote machine running ipv4 via both the mysql clent
program and via JDBC again everything works as expected.
When connecting from the server running mysql via JDBC I get the exception:
com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure due
to underlying exception:
java.net.SocketException: java.netConnectionException: Connection
refused

Jetty (org.mortbay.org)
---

When running jetty as a servelet engine/web server at the FreeBSD machine. I
cannot connect to the server from a remote machine running IPv4. Via netstat
I can see that jetty runs as a tcp6 server only.

SVN (subversion.tigirs.org)
---

Originally I had a simular problem connecting to svn from a ipv4 machine,
when svn was running as a tcp6 server.
Via a strange startup option (--listen-host=0.0.0.0) I could force svn to
run as tcp4. And connection from the remote host worked fine.

Tomcat

I installed tomcat 5.5.20 from the BSD port. Tomcat does not start. The log
files shows the following:

Slower, yes, but not *that* slow.

Normal ls : 0.032 second.  Two processes using same disk, multiply by two,
so 0.064 second.  Maybe the multiplier is more than 2, call it 10x, so
0.32 second.  But I'm seeing a factor of over 9100x.

Re: additional processor in IBM xSeries /ii

[Marko Kobal]

Hi,

I have an IBM xSeries 225 with two-processor motherboard, 
currently with only one Intel Xeon 2.4 GHz. OS is 6.1p10, 
otherwise is this an apache22-mysql50-php5 web server.


I would like to add an additional, second Intel Xeon 2.4 GHz. 
Do I have to change anything in OS, kernel, etc, before this 
step or can I just plug in the additional proc and thats it?

Kind regards, Marko Kobal.

Recompile Kernel with SMP option (check /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/SMP) 


OK, so I recompile kernel with:

# To make an SMP kernel, the next line is needed
options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel

And this will not affect (after reboot) on how system will behave BEFORE I 
actualy plug in another processor?

Are there any other options that may be added to optimize kernel for SMP?

yes, last time you mounted da0s1d , u didnt unmounted it cleanly. Before

mount, you should run fsck -p on it:

fsck -p -t ufs /dev/da0s1d

Firstly, what Chuck and Bill said .. but some further points ..

Secondly, you don't specify port numbers with 'allow ip', which covers
tcp, udp and raw ip packets also; you want 'allow udp' here, unless of
course you're using NFS over TCP as well, where you'd need 'allow tcp'. 
Note also that 'setup' only applies to TCP connections.

Thirdly, if you do want to use stateful rules on the client, you'll do
better doing them on your _outbound_ connections, something like:

  ipfw add xxx allow udp from ${client} to ${server} ${nfsports} keep-state

If it were me I'd concentrate on the server side firewall rules (and
/etc/exports allowed hosts) both for allowing desired and disallowing
undesired connections, so not having to worry much about what client/s
may or may not be doing.

'man ipfw' is actually pretty good documentation, though there is a fair
bit to absorb there.  I still read it before bedtime now and again :)

Ciao, Ian

Not to sound overly arch, but a generic subject is not going to
garner you nearly as much help as something specific.

It would also depend on whether you are going to be using PPoE
or not, but I would mostly be concerned about keeping up on
security updates if you are going to be leaving your machine
connected most or all of the time.

This might also be a good time to start reading up on firewalls

Hi there,
I'm not sure about the 1100, but the 4500 run Linux inside ( 4 drives though).
definitely nothing fancy inside ( i actually reused one of them for a mail
server using gentoo, as fbsd would not like the IDE controllers )..

I would just give the HD a try in some other box... 

if you want  a fbsd live cd, try freesbie.org

good luck

External HD create different slice on /dev which one i need to mount...?

[perikillo]

  Hi people.

  I have one external HD:

umass0: Prolific Technology Inc. Mass Storage Device, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2
umass0:0:0:-1: Attached to scbus0
(probe0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): error 22
(probe0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Unretryable Error
pass0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
pass0:  Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
pass0: 40.000MB/s transfers
GEOM: new disk da0
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0:  Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0: 238475MB (488397168 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 30401C)

Ok i setup the HD with sysinstall and format all the disk to UFS2, this is
my entry on /dev

crw-r-  1 root  operator0, 102 Nov 14 16:39 da0
crw-r-  1 root  operator0, 103 Nov 14 16:39 da0s1
crw-r-  1 root  operator0,  86 Nov 14 16:39 da0s1c
crw-r-  1 root  operator0,  87 Nov 14 16:39 da0s1d

Now which one i need to mount each time i need to use this HD...?

I create one mount point, /ext, FreeBSD the first time use /dev/da0s1d, them
if i want to mount that one, it send this message:

WARNING: /ext was not properly dismounted

No metter which one i use, da0s1, da0s1c, da0s1d always send this message,
this is normal...?

mount /dev/da0s1 /ext
mount /dev/da0s1c /ext
mount /dev/da0s1d /ext

Always: WARNING: /ext was not properly dismounted

Any idea about this...?

Im using FreeBSD 6.1-p10, my machine has 6 USB ports i have been testing
with all and the same message.

Thanks all for your time!!!

Problems opening, viewing, and manipulating PRs

[Nick Barkas]

Hello
Since around last Friday the 17th, I have been having some difficulty  
working with FreeBSD problem reports. I'm not sure if this has  
something to do with the FreeBSD.org systems being moved that day or  
if it's just a coincidence.


Anyway, I have opened two PRs, ports/105652 three days ago and just  
today ports/105760, that I received no email confirmation upon  
opening, as I have with PRs in the past. I filed them using send-pr,  
and the system they were sent from says in its mail logs that the  
messages were delivered to mx1.freebsd.org successfully. I only found  
the PR numbers by seeing the reports in the archives for the freebsd- 
ports-bugs list. I cannot find them using http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ 
query-pr.cgi or http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi.


Additionally, I've sent I think four emails now to bug- 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] trying to update the audit trail with a patch on  
another PR I opened, ports/105563. I've tried from a couple of  
different systems, and my mail logs again indicate that the messages  
were delivered successfully to mx1.freebsd.org. Earlier on the 17th,  
before I started having any problems, I was able to add a patch on  
yet another PR I have, ports/105560, so this problem is also a new one.


Has anyone else had similar problems like this? Are there any better,  
more effective ways for non-committers to open, view, or manipulate  
PRs than by using send-pr, the web interface on the FreeBSD site, or  
emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED], respectively? Is there somewhere  
better to ask these questions than this list?


Thanks very much!
Nick

RE: Mount and repair HD?

[David Horis]

Hi,

Thanks for the tip.  What iso should I get from the freebsd.org site? (5.5 or 
6.1?)

The warranty is long expired on this device... I've just popped it open... 
Looks like it's powered by a Pentium 166. (w/MMX! :) )

I seriously doubt it will act as a boot drive in a PC, as it seems some of the 
boot code is in NV ram.

Since I am new to *nix, can someone describe the exact command I need to run in 
order to:

1) Boot the computer w/FreeBSD
2) Figure out if the drive is viewable, and what it is named.
2) Check the drive for errors.
3) Determine what partition on the drive has my data.
4) Copy the data over to a different drive. (Preferably via the network... SMB )

Thank you again,
David

These use regular IDE drives so you can plug them to any PC (Note, you're 
voiding the warranty if you open the box).

If FreeBSD OS is installed on them, the first thing I'd do is try to boot from 
the HD unless a custom kernel was made.

If this is not bootable drive, just UFS file system, then use FreeBSD Boot CD 
off freebsd.org to boot the thing and mount the drive according to what the 
drive is named

e.g. mount /dev/ad1s1a /

Good luck!

Tamouh

As I stated before, I haven't used either so I am in no way an
authoritative source, but in general anytime you do additional
processing in the data channel, some penalty is going to be incurred.
I am sure there are things that can be done to mitigate this penalty
to a degree (i.e. offloading encryption operations to an add-in card)
but only you can be the judge if the trade off is a good one.

Do your test by removing the Disk, then format it completely, insert it back.

ICH7 SATA RAID (LSI MegaRAID)

[Toomas Aas]

Hello!

I've bought a small server with Intel SE7230NH1 motherboard, which 
incorporates the ICH7 SATA RAID controller. Using the LSI BIOS utility, 
I created a RAID1 array of two disks and installed FreeBSD 6.2-RC1 
(amd64) on it.


atapci1:  port 
0x30c8-0x30cf,0x30e4-0x30e7,0x30c0-0x30c7,0x30e0-0x30e3,0x30a0-0x30af 
mem 0x8820-0x882003ff irq 19 at device 31.2 on pci0

atapci1: AHCI Version 01.10 controller with 4 ports detected
ata2:  on atapci1
ata3:  on atapci1
ata4:  on atapci1
ata5:  on atapci1
ad4: 476940MB  at ata2-master SATA300
ad6: 476940MB  at ata3-master SATA300
ar0: 476772MB  status: READY
ar0: disk0 READY (master) using ad4 at ata2-master
ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad6 at ata3-master

This server has a hot-swap drive cage that allows you to power off 
individual drives. I simulated a drive failure by powering off one of 
the drives. This resulted in console message:


ar0: warning: mirror protection lost. RAID1 array in DEGRADED mode.
ar0: writing of LSILogic v3 MegaRAID metadata is NOT supported yet.
subdisk6: detached
ad6: detached

OK, the disk went away. This is witnessed by atacontrol:
# atacontrol status ar0
ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: ad4 DOWN status DEGRADED

Now, I power the disk on again. This brings on the following console 
message.


ad6: 476940MB  at ata3-master SATA300

The array status is still degraded, as shown by atacontrol:
#atacontrol status ar0
ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: ad4 ad6 status: DEGRADED

OK, so I think I need to rebuild the array, but this doesn't succeed:
#atacontrol rebuild ar0
IOCATARAIDREBUILD: Input/Output error.

When I reboot the server, it comes back up with the array at READY 
status immediately. Maybe this is because I have "Auto rebuild" set to 
"Yes" in BIOS. But is there any way to recover from this kind of failure 
without rebooting? Are my problems caused merely by the fact that 
"writing of LSILogic v3 MegaRAID metadata is NOT supported yet", or am I 
doing something wrong? Or maybe this is the problem that exists only in 
amd64 version and not in i386?


Thanks in advance,

Gary,

All I can think of (being unfamiliar with Gnome) is that the graphics
card isn't up to displaying 1280x1024 at 24 bits. Or you haven't copied
xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and it's picking up a stale
xorg.conf.

Try changing the following parameters:

 DefaultColorDepth 8
 Depth  8
 Modes  "1024x768"

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X/Gnome. If it works then add higher
resolutions and colour depths until you achieve a satisfactory result.

You can also try starting X bare:

Xorg -config /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Ctl+Alt+Backspace to kill it. That will determine whether it's an X
problem or a Gnome problem.

If your disk is faster than your CPU, I/O will slowdown.

I've seen an Athlon64 4200+ use up to 90% of its computing power just to 
transfer files from an NFS server to a local SATA disk.
In case the CPU was less powerful, or otherwise busy doing something 
else, total throughput would have decreased.

Mount and repair HD?

[David Horis]

Hello,

A Snap Server 1100 just died on me... (Single drive, FreeBSD-based, I think...)

I think it's not HD related as I can't even get into to the hardware/bios reset 
mode.

Have you folks ever heard of anyone opening one of these things up and mounting 
the drive on a regular PC?

Since the drive probably has some coruption, due to the MB/OS crash, how would 
I go about fixing those before I mount the drive and try to copy off the files?

Since I am not familiar with *nix, can someone point me to a walk through on 
this?   (Is there a FreeBSD live CD I could use?)


Thanks,
David

May be you need a command "portupgrade -RPP"?

Frank,

Thanks for your suggestion:

I did that, and unfortunately it made no difference at all! I'm still 
only seeing 640x480, and that's the only option that comes up in the 
Screen Resolution Preferences panel. Actually the thing that bothers me 
more is the 60 hz refresh rate. That's too slow and hurts my eyes!

Any other suggestions???

Thanks,
Gary

In telnet window 1:

cd /disk1/
cp -ip very_big_file /disk2/bar/(the workload)

In telnet window 2:

time ls /disk3/foo1/  (make sure time and ls are cached in memory)
time ls /disk3/foo2/  (see timing numbers above)
time ls /disk2/   (see timing numbers above)

The /disk2/ directory is small, only contains 3 directories and .snap

Would the cp into /disk2/bar/ lock the /disk2/ directory?
IIRC the cp was still running after the ls completed.

Other than the cp and ls, the machine should have been idle.
None of the three disks have /, /usr, /var, /home or similar
filesystems likely to have stray I/O.  The crontab directory
is empty.

Advice please

[Old Ranger]

Hello to all,
I just ordered DSL from my phone service (and ISP) provider.
I have a Dell dual core laptop enroute, with "extras".

The advice I'd like, is some "do's" and "don'ts" when switching from
dial-up to DSL with FreeBSD.

What are the pitfalls?  I'd like to avoid as many as possible.

Then use something likeRELENG_6   or   RELENG_6_1

That will get you the release plus security updates.
I think the RELENG_6 will include stuff from 6.2 as soon as it
is merged.

  Because learning how to use some of the other tools outside the scope of
the ports tree is kind of interesting, imho. I'd like to learn more about
gcc and other tools for building software in FreeBSD, even if its just a
purely academic pursuit.

  I guess working on a layer lower than the ports collection adds some
satisfaction to my curiousity.



You could always look in ports to see what configure flags,
patches, or any other changes needed to compile on FreeBSD.


  There are those who use their cars solely for transportation, and others
who enjoy restoring them/taking them apart/modifying them. I think the
same kind of principles apply. Those just using their vehicles for
transportation scratch their heads and wonder why anyone would have an
interest in anything other than hassle free service.

Re: Upgrade Question

[Graham Bentley]

You've confused STABLE with RELEASE.  6.2 has not reached RELEASE.  
6-STABLE is the latest "these changes worked fine in CURRENT (right now, 
aka 7) and have been MFCed (merged from current) so that more people can 
try them out", which right now corresponds to the version of FreeBSDthat  
is just about to be released which also happens to be called6.2-RC1  
(release candidate 1)).  When 6.2 is ready to go, a new RELEASEbranch is  
created (6.2-RELEASE) which only gets security fixes.


So, if I want the 'latest version' that 'isnt a work in progress' (or at  
least tested
to the point where it is know to be working correctly in the majority of  
scenarios)

always use the RELEASE branches ?

Did you do the Gnome-stuff update described in UPDATING last month?


No, I didn't. Of course, another box I have running 6.1 that is only a 
few days different version of the same software did not exhibit this 
problem. I performed the command indicated in UPDATING, and tried again. 
It failed with the same error. If it helps any, I'm getting exactly the 
same error trying to upgrade Thunderbird, and both the firefox and the 
firefox15 port give this error.

Try replacing your screen section with something like this:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor"Monitor0"
DefaultColorDepth 24


SubSection "Display"
Depth   24
Modes   "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "640x480"
ViewPort0 0
EndSubSection
EndSection

Swap the Modes order to find something comfortable. 1280x1024 might be a bit
uncomfortable (small text). Or you might be able to toggle through the
modes in Gnome.

I'm using KDE and had to put the following in the Printer Program-tab from the 
Print-menu in Opera :
Program : kprinter
Parameter : -stdin (mind the "dash")

This opens the standard kde-printing window where you can choose your 
installed printer from.

You should check the freebsd-questions archives, I believe there was an 
similar answar for printing with opera under gnome.

Hope this helps,

Why not use the FreeBSD port?

Re: Big external drives - which filesystem?

[Ivan Levchenko]

There is a UFS2 driver for Windows, google on it and you are sure to
find it. (There are also ext2/3 drivers for Windows if you prefer that
one.)

I use ext2 on my usb pen drive and it works great under windows.

On 11/16/06, Chris Hastie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I've just acquired a Western Digital 200GB USB 2 external HDD. After
some initial glitches my FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE machine seems to recognise
it fine.

It comes pre-formatted with a single FAT32 file system (although
confusingly there is a note in the manual about FAT32 not supporting
partitions >32 GB and suggesting you change it to NTFS).

Attempting to mount this hits the "mountmsdosfs(); disk too big, sorry"
problem.

The primary intended use for this drive is for off-site backups, but it
would be useful if it was formatted such that I can easily plug it into
Windows boxes to get at files occasionally. What are my best options for
achieving this?

The MSDOSFS_LARGE kernel option seems to come with a lot of warnings and
caveats. Is it really as ropey as it sounds? Is NTFS an option? Or would
I be better partitioning the drive into two FAT32 partitions of < 128GB
each? If I go down that route how does this appear to FreeBSD -
presumably as different slices on da0 which are mounted separately? Or
am I just asking for trouble using these filesystems and should just
stick to ufs2 and abandon any plans to maintain compatibility with
windows machines?

Thanks for your help.

Gnome display configuration problem

[Gary Robinson]

Hi,

Yesterday I installed freebsd 6.1 on an old Dell PowerEdge 1300. It's 
working fine with one exception. I installed gnome from freebsd ports, 
and it's giving me a 640x480, 80 Hz screen resolution. The Screen 
Resolution Preferences panel gives that combination as the only option. 
But my monitor has better capabilities.

I have edited my xorg.conf.new so that it contains info describing my 
display, a Nanoa T2-17TS:

Section "Monitor"
DisplaySize   1250  938 # mm
Identifier   "Monitor0"
VendorName   "Nanoa"
ModelName"T2-17TS"
Option  "DPMS"
HorizSync   30-86
VertRefresh 55-160
EndSection

Other relevant information was automatically filled in be "Xorg -config 
xorg.conf.new":

Section "Device"
### Available Driver options are:-
### Values: : integer, : float, : "True"/"False",

Does anyone have any thoughts about what I can do so that Gnome gives 
me more options?

Any help would be appreciated.

NFS is difficult to firewall, as it's not guaranteed to use the same
ports all the time.

The NFS server has options to restrict who can connect, see the man
page for exports.

Othwerwise, Chuck's advice was good.  Additionally, you can debug IPFW
using 'ipfw show', and by inserting "log" statements into your ruleset
to get more useful feedback.

check_disk_smb: another nagios problem

[Thierry Lacoste]

There is something weird about check_disk_smb from nagios-plugins-1.4.3,1
on FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p10.

From the command line (pwd is /usr/local/libexec/nagios) the switches
work as expected:
# ./check_disk_smb -H 194.214.13.140 -s public -u guest -p ""
Domain=[MIAGE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.22]
Disk ok - 396M (79%) free on \\194.214.13.140\public

One has the same result without the switches:
./check_disk_smb 194.214.13.140 public guest ""
Domain=[MIAGE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.22]
Disk ok - 396M (79%) free on \\194.214.13.140\public

But the second form is the only way I can make it work within nagios

define command{
command_namecheck_disk_smb
command_line$USER1$/check_disk_smb $HOSTADDRESS$ public guest ""
}

If I introduce the switches (e.g like below) I have all sorts of errors
(invalid warning threshold, Access denied, etc ...) depending on
the order of the arguments.

define command{
command_namecheck_disk_smb
command_line$USER1$/check_disk_smb -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -s public -u 
guest -p ""
}

Is anybody else seeing this?
Have I done something wrong?

Regards,
Thierry.

You should probably use a permit all between .1 and .2, rather than trying to 
use stateful rules with RPC services which will run on arbitrarily chosen ports.

mntent.h creating problems - compiling gcc4

[Jamie]

  Greetings!

  I am having trouble compiling gcc 4.0.3 on FreeBSD 4.9. The compiler
seems to be referencing mntent.h and the compilation fails with:

from /usr/include/mntent.h:2,
 from ../../../gcc-4.0.3/libmudflap/mf-hooks2.c:97:
/usr/include/mntent.h:2:20: error: #include nested too deeply


  I am compiling this with gcc 2.95 and gnu make 3.80.

  Does anyone know why it's trying to include mntent.h? From what I've
read, this is a system V header file, so I can't understand why . Are
there any switches I should be passing to make?





  Commands I'm running:

mkdir gcc-build
cd gcc-build
../gcc-4.0.3/configure --prefix=/tools --disable-nls --enable-shared
--enable-languages=c

make bootstrap

IPFW & NFS

[vittorio]

I have two FreeBSD 6.1 boxes one of which (IP 10.0.0.1) is an NFS server and 
the other one (IP 10.0.0.2) is, among other things, an NFS client sharing 
directories with the NFS server.
It all works correctly and I can mount_nfs all the directories from the 
server.
BUT, I'm now trying to use an IPFW firewall both on the server and on the 
client. My simple aim is to setup connections between the 10.0.0.1 server and 
the 10.0.0.2 client ** only **; no connections should be possible with other 
clients!
Now I've tried the poor documentation I could find googling with the 
keywords "freebsd ipfw nfs" to no avail, I cannot mount_nfs any share on te 
client because something goes wrong with RPC.
Concentrating on the client side (no ipfw for the moment on teh server) I 
tried the following

ipfw add 300 allow ip from 10.0.0.1 2049,111,1022 to 10.0.0.2 via fxp0 setup 
keep-state

OR
ipfw add 300 allow ip from 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.2  2049,111,1022 via fxp0 setup 
keep-state
  
OR
ipfw add 300 allow ip from 10.0.0.1 2049,111,1022 to me via fxp0 setup 
keep-state

OR
ipfw add 300 allow ip from 10.0.0.1 to me  2049,111,1022 via fxp0 setup 
keep-state

If I disable the firewall it all goes smootly.

Could you please help me?

In all likelyhood FreeBSD needs some quirk to work with the IDE bridge
chipset in your enclosure. I have noticed that the plain jane enclosures
seem to work fine but the ones with special features fail. In particular
I have an enclosure with both a disk and an SD media slot purchased from
and branded by Compusa that does not work with FreeBSD. I have also
noticed that the enclosures with a one touch backup button aren't
supported. I unfortunately do not know how to debug these enclosures.

They tend to be so cheap that I just home in on the ones that are
supported. I've noticed that the local Best Buy is carrying an Adaptec
enclosure. I have two of the 2.5" ones and they seem to work fine.
Here's a link to the 3.5" version which I assume uses that same chipset
as the 2.5" one:

ls still has to acquire a number of locks in order to be sure that the
contents of the directory aren't changing.  If there are lots of other
processes all competing for these locks, it will be slow.  It looks
like that's the case on your system, although details of your workload
have been trimmed from your email.

This should be better in a future version of FreeBSD (when it's safe
to use shared locks instead of exlusive for vfs lookups) but today
there may not be much you can do apart from lowering the load.

That's a weird thing to say.
Although there are many things in ports that are not supported or
are someone's mostly useless extra toy, a lot of the ports are well
done and well supported and worth using in general.   If he doesn't
like qmail and won't use sendmail, then he can check out others and
a question about which people like is not so bad an idea, although
it is unfortunately likely to set of yet another religious war YARW.

Re: Building Sendmail from ports

[DAve]

David Robillard wrote:

[ ---8<--- Text has been removed! ---8<---]


But, where will the port install my *.mc and *.cf files? This I can't
seem to figure out. I would like to know before I hit 'make install' in
the port dir. I would think it will install them into
/usr/local/share/sendmail/cf, would that be correct?


Hi DAve,

When you use the mail/sendmail port, it does install files in
/usr/local/share/sendmail. Think of it as the base system's sendmail
files in /usr/share/sendmail.


As I expected.



Now, the .mc and .cf files are still kept in /etc/mail and not in
/usr/local/etc/mail as one could think by using a port.


Got that from reading the make files, good to confirm.



Note that you will find two scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d when you
install the sendmail port. They are `sendmail.sh.sample' and
`sm-client.sh.sample'. But you don't need to use them. The base
system's /etc/rc.d/sendmail script handles both the base system's
sendmail and the port's sendmail.


I use a custom rc script already due to my split config.



The key for a pain free mail/sendmail ports usage is to do what you
said. That is to edit make.conf(5) and to use special make(1) targets
from the mail/sendmail's Makefile.

Briefly, here's the way I do things when I update mail/sendmail (YMMV of 
course)


sudo vi /etc/make.conf

##
# mail/sendmail port configuration.
##

# Do not build and install the base distribution of sendmail.
#
NO_SENDMAIL= TRUE

# Specify where the configuration directory is located.
#
SENDMAIL_CF_DIR=/usr/local/share/sendmail/cf

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/mail/sendmail}
SENDMAIL_WITHOUT_IPV6=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITHOUT_NIS=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_TLS=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SMTPS=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_LDAP=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_BERKELEYDB_VER=42 \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SOCKETMAP=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_PICKY_HELO_CHECK=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SHARED_MILTER=yes
.endif

sudo porteasy -uv mail/sendmail
sudo porteasy -uv security/openssl
sudo porteasy -uv security/gnutls

cd /usr/ports/mail/sendmail

sudo make
# -OR if you don't want to edit make.conf(5), you can run something like 
this:

sudo make -DSENDMAIL_WITHOUT_IPV6 -DSENDMAIL_WITHOUT_NIS
-DSENDMAIL_WITH_TLS -DSENDMAIL_WITH_SMTPS \
-DSENDMAIL_WITH_BERKELEYDB_VER=42 -DSENDMAIL_WITH_SOCKETMAP
-DSENDMAIL_WITH_PICKY_HELO_CHECK -DSENDMAIL_WITH_SHARED_MILTER

sudo make tls-install
sudo make install
sudo make mailer.conf
sudo make clean

Now, you might not need the exact same features of Sendmail as I do,
of course. But the `make mailer.conf' is quite important. That's going
to edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf which instructs the OS to use
/usr/local/sbin/sendmail instead of the base system's sendmail. You
don't have to change your PATH either.


Saw that in the Makefile.



Why? Because if take a look at /usr/sbin/sendmail, it's not a binary,
it's a symbolic link to `/usr/sbin/mailwrapper'. Just read the
mailwrapper(8) man page and you'll understand how things work.


Yep.




I want to make certain that when I build new sendmail.in.cf and
sendmail.out.cf the correct files are used by m4. Currently I run the
following when making changes to my *.mc files

/usr/bin/m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/share/sendmail/cf/
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 sendmail.in.mc > sendmail.in.cf


Take a look at the /etc/mail/Makefile and you'll see that it can
determine your _CF_DIR_. But it takes a wrong decision. It uses either
/usr/share/sendmail/cf or /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf.


Previously I didn't want to change the installed Makefile in /etc/mail, 
I likely will now.




To work around this, you can edit /etc/mail/Makefile or use the
following at the top of your sendmail.mc files:

dnl include.
dnl Use the following m4 macro file.
dnl
include(`/usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4')dnl


Excellent idea!



That's it. If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact me.

Have fun :)


I appreciate the heads up, thanks!

Lock it in a box.   Anyone who can put their hands physically can
get in to the machine with a little tinkering even if you disable
lots of software.

I think you can get rid of the single user option in the boot,
but anyone with a CD can defeat that if they want to.  It would
make things harder for yourself in managing the system, but it
would slow a person down from casual interference.

Also, many machines have BIOS level boot passwords that can be turned 
on.  Using that would slow a person down, but be annoying for youself,
especially in times such as power failures - the system would not come
back up automatically without someone entering the BIOS password.

Plus, if a person is determined enough, they can defeat that as well
by removing the battery backup for the MB or the flash memory.   But, 
it would stop casual tinkering.

Where did you get the version 1.5.0.09? I checked out cvsweb, and

I think you need another line to tell it what branch to track.
Here is my file that tracks 6.1.   Take off the '_1' part off of
the   RELENG_6_1   to make it justRELENG_6 
and you can track the latest of 6.xxx, whatever it is at the moment.

*default host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default tag=RELENG_6_1
*default release=cvs 
*default delete use-rel-suffix

*default compress

src-all
ports-all tag=.
doc-all tag=.

Mentions various Linux ways to do it, but I suspect that the poster
who wants to install FreeBSD might not be interested in first installing
some Linux - which would take some partition manipulation and then
doing the FreeBSD install.   Of course, maybe he can set up a SUSE
live CD and do it.   I think Suse might also claim to be able to do
the resizing during install.  But, that still means doing two systems
to get one.Is that better than getting a cheap utility -- maybe,
who knows.

Google also pops up an add for 'Partition Commander 10 which claims
to be able to resize NTFS on a live system even without even a reboot.
It's price seems to be $10 or $20 less than Partition Magic so it
might be interesting, but I haven't used it so can't verify.

Re: Password Security

[Andy Greenwood]

I've used geli to encrypt my swap partition following the instructions
in the handbook and it went quite well. If you really need to secure
the data on the machine, mark the terminal as insecure and encrypt all
the disks, including swap.

Keep in mind though, that no system is completely secure. It may be
secure enough, but there is *always* a way in for the determined
individual.

You don't have public key 0x10FDE075 in your keyring. You can either
download it from one of keyservers or form apache site:

$ fetch http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/KEYS
KEYS  100% of  295 kB  108 kBps
$ gpg --import KEYS

Then you can verify (here I'm verifying 1.3 version):

$ gpg --verify  apache_1.3.37.tar.gz.asc pathto/apache_1.3.37.tar.gz

Be sure you read that last fat WARNING. It says the signature is
correct but my gnupg doesn't know if the key used to sign is trusted.
In reality that means I don't really know to whom the key really belongs.

HTH, but it you really want to use gnupg you should at least read
"Getting started"[1] form GnuPG site. Without understanding where it
all can fail you won't gain anything.

Re: Does disk encryption causes a performance penalty for Data Access/Read/Write, etc

[Nick Pavlica]

Does *disk encryption* causes a *performance* penalty for Data
Access/Read/Write, etc?


I haven't done any testing, but would assume that it would impact it
to a certain degree, because there is the additional encryption
overhead.

Any kind of encryption causes a performance penalty.

However, if your CPU is powerful enough, it's possible (even likely) that
the CPU is still able to encrypt faster than the disk can write the data.
The result would be that you won't notice the penalty unless you've got
other CPU-intensive tasks running that reduce the amount of CPU
available to the encryption process.

problems with check_dhcp in nagios

[Thierry Lacoste]

Hello,

I'm using nagios-2.4 with nagios-plugins-1.4.3,1 on FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p10.
I have a problem to make check_dhcp work.

dhclient works as expected:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# dhclient em0
DHCPREQUEST on em0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPREQUEST on em0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPDISCOVER on em0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
DHCPDISCOVER on em0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
DHCPOFFER from 194.214.13.3
DHCPOFFER from 194.214.13.2
DHCPOFFER already seen.
DHCPREQUEST on em0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 194.214.13.3
bound to 194.214.13.6 -- renewal in 21600 seconds.

But check_dhcp doesn't work (with dhclient killed):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_dhcp -i em0 -v
DHCP socket: 3
Hardware address: 000d56bd84c5
DHCPDISCOVER to 255.255.255.255 port 67

DHCDISCOVER yiaddr:  0.0.0.0
DHCDISCOVER siaddr:  0.0.0.0
DHCDISCOVER giaddr:  0.0.0.0
send_dhcp_packet result: 548




No (more) data received
Result=ERROR
Total responses seen on the wire: 0
Valid responses for this machine: 0
DHCP problem: No DHCPOFFERs were received.

The -s switch to specify the IP of a DHCP server doesn't help.

Using ethereal I can see one "DHCP Discover" packet sent  and
nothing else.
I don't know if it is relevant but I noticed that the source adress
of this packet is the IP of the machine while the source address
of  "DHCP Discover" packets issued by dhclient is 0.0.0.0.

Any tip would be appreciated.

Regards,
Thierry.

additional processor in IBM xSeries

[Marko Kobal]

Hi,

I have an IBM xSeries 225 with two-processor motherboard, currently with only 
one Intel Xeon 2.4 GHz. OS is 6.1p10, otherwise is this an 
apache22-mysql50-php5 web server.

I would like to add an additional, second Intel Xeon 2.4 GHz. Do I have to 
change anything in OS, kernel, etc, before this step or can I just plug in the 
additional proc and thats it?

--
Kind regards, Marko Kobal.

Re: To which port GPG belongs?

Thanks for your quick thoughts...

I am still unable to verify Key

I have got this key from Apache site

Take the defaults. You can add some functionality later, if required.

Re: Building Sendmail from ports

[David Robillard]

[ ---8<--- Text has been removed! ---8<---]


But, where will the port install my *.mc and *.cf files? This I can't
seem to figure out. I would like to know before I hit 'make install' in
the port dir. I would think it will install them into
/usr/local/share/sendmail/cf, would that be correct?


Hi DAve,

When you use the mail/sendmail port, it does install files in
/usr/local/share/sendmail. Think of it as the base system's sendmail
files in /usr/share/sendmail.

Now, the .mc and .cf files are still kept in /etc/mail and not in
/usr/local/etc/mail as one could think by using a port.

Note that you will find two scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d when you
install the sendmail port. They are `sendmail.sh.sample' and
`sm-client.sh.sample'. But you don't need to use them. The base
system's /etc/rc.d/sendmail script handles both the base system's
sendmail and the port's sendmail.

The key for a pain free mail/sendmail ports usage is to do what you
said. That is to edit make.conf(5) and to use special make(1) targets
from the mail/sendmail's Makefile.

Briefly, here's the way I do things when I update mail/sendmail (YMMV of course)

sudo vi /etc/make.conf

##
# mail/sendmail port configuration.
##

# Do not build and install the base distribution of sendmail.
#
NO_SENDMAIL= TRUE

# Specify where the configuration directory is located.
#
SENDMAIL_CF_DIR=/usr/local/share/sendmail/cf

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/mail/sendmail}
SENDMAIL_WITHOUT_IPV6=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITHOUT_NIS=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_TLS=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SMTPS=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_LDAP=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_BERKELEYDB_VER=42 \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SOCKETMAP=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_PICKY_HELO_CHECK=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SHARED_MILTER=yes
.endif

sudo porteasy -uv mail/sendmail
sudo porteasy -uv security/openssl
sudo porteasy -uv security/gnutls

cd /usr/ports/mail/sendmail

sudo make
# -OR if you don't want to edit make.conf(5), you can run something like this:
sudo make -DSENDMAIL_WITHOUT_IPV6 -DSENDMAIL_WITHOUT_NIS
-DSENDMAIL_WITH_TLS -DSENDMAIL_WITH_SMTPS \
-DSENDMAIL_WITH_BERKELEYDB_VER=42 -DSENDMAIL_WITH_SOCKETMAP
-DSENDMAIL_WITH_PICKY_HELO_CHECK -DSENDMAIL_WITH_SHARED_MILTER

sudo make tls-install
sudo make install
sudo make mailer.conf
sudo make clean

Now, you might not need the exact same features of Sendmail as I do,
of course. But the `make mailer.conf' is quite important. That's going
to edit /etc/mail/mailer.conf which instructs the OS to use
/usr/local/sbin/sendmail instead of the base system's sendmail. You
don't have to change your PATH either.

Why? Because if take a look at /usr/sbin/sendmail, it's not a binary,
it's a symbolic link to `/usr/sbin/mailwrapper'. Just read the
mailwrapper(8) man page and you'll understand how things work.


I want to make certain that when I build new sendmail.in.cf and
sendmail.out.cf the correct files are used by m4. Currently I run the
following when making changes to my *.mc files

/usr/bin/m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/share/sendmail/cf/
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 sendmail.in.mc > sendmail.in.cf


Take a look at the /etc/mail/Makefile and you'll see that it can
determine your _CF_DIR_. But it takes a wrong decision. It uses either
/usr/share/sendmail/cf or /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf.

To work around this, you can edit /etc/mail/Makefile or use the
following at the top of your sendmail.mc files:

dnl include.
dnl Use the following m4 macro file.
dnl
include(`/usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4')dnl

That's it. If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact me.

Have fun :)

How about security/gnupg or security/gnupg-devel?

I've never messed with the options on this one, but unless you want
something very exotic (like encrypting living monkeys and storing them
in MySQL Databases) there should be no need to.

To be clear I'm asking gurus on what is the "best FreeBSD supported"

Thanks a lot.

Hi

If I want to run commands like


# gpg httpd-2.0.49.tar.gz.asc

Which port one should install, becasue there are many...


1. /usr/ports/security/gnome-gpg
2. /usr/ports/security/gpgme03
3. /usr/ports/security/kgpg
4. /usr/ports/security/nofgpg
5. /usr/ports/security/ruby-gpgme

And with which options one should install to have maximum security measure

I wasn't aware that 6.2 had been released as 'STABLE' yet.

 


Short version: No, the OP was correct.

Long version:

You've confused STABLE with RELEASE.  6.2 has not reached RELEASE.  
6-STABLE is the latest "these changes worked fine in CURRENT (right now, 
aka 7) and have been MFCed (merged from current) so that more people can 
try them out", which right now corresponds to the version of FreeBSD 
that is just about to be released which also happens to be called 
6.2-RC1 (release candidate 1)).  When 6.2 is ready to go, a new RELEASE 
branch is created (6.2-RELEASE) which only gets security fixes.  
6-STABLE then starts tracking 6.3, just as the OP said, though no 6.3 
branch is created as such (iiuc).  6.3 tags start being created when 
enough worthwhile changes have been MFCed into 6-STABLE and the next 
release cycle is ready to start.


Depressingly, the STABLE tag makes perfect sense once you grasp the 
branch structure that FreeBSD uses, but causes no end of confusion 
otherwise.


STABLE in this context means "worked stably in the most up-to-date 
version of the source code that exists".  It does not means "stable 
enough to use on production servers or other critical environments", 
though frequently it will be - just not always, as changes which worked 
for the limited number of people who run CURRENT machines, may break in 
more diverse environments when more people running STABLE try them.

Can you expand on this ?

I have noticed that quite alot of ports are broken on 6.2
but then again I only loaded it a few days ago and havent
updated the tree (thinking this is the 'latest' version - flawed?)
