Tagging email subject line with something like [fbsd-questions]
Hi, I subscribe to many fbsd lists through gmail, and am not able to visually detect which email was sent to which fbsd list. Is it possible to add a tag in the subject line, something like, [fbsd-q], or [fbsd-questions], or similar so that emails can be visually classified? Given that these lists have been around for a long time, was there a discussion on this? If the idea of tagging was dropped, can someone inform me about the rationale behind this decision?

Perform the following command, assuming 'user' is the account you have with the alias to somewhere else: # mail -f /var/mail/root -F user ..which will merrily dump each message to the alias user, and from there forward it to your email account.

Hmm ...I suppose I should have explicitly marked that comment as sarcasm. I simply expected that people would understand that such a ridiculous remark could only be tongue-in-cheek. A friend of mine going for his Dr. at CMU (Patrick Wagstrom: GNOME guy) describes an exercise where a professor intentionally injected false information into Wikipedia, then gave his students a research assignment that involved that information. Apparently the number of students who trusted the false information without verifying it was quite high. I should take that as a lesson that most people _don't_ know how to verify the validity of information and be more careful when I make sarcastic statements. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'm a big fan of PKI, but PKI suffers from one major problem, and it's the same flaw that physical keys suffer from: you have to have the key with you. With a password, I'm always guaranteed to have access. Just give me any computer that has an SSH client available. With PKI, I'm hosed if I don't have a copy of my private key on a jump drive or something. I'm always torn because of this. I really like the added security of PKI, but history has taught me that I'll need access at a critical time when I _don't_ have a key with me. As a result, I've decided to use password auth on this particular server. > Second: I love the simplicity of the stateless firewall rules in Bill's > pf.conf. I may have to look at implementing that here. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the disadvantage of the stateless approach is that pf can't do packet normalization without state. Thus a scrub statement will have no effect on stateless traffic. Again, in my case I have enough faith in FreeBSD's TCP stack that I've deemed this an acceptable risk. If you're using pf to protect a bunch of Windows servers, you may want to reconsider stateless rules. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Kind of like swap works. I'm no expert, so I did a little research: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension (of course, everyone knows that Wikipedia is the ultimate source of information and is infallible, right?) Anyway, based on that article, I would assume the performance hit comes from the fact that access to memory has to pass through three layers of pointers on PAE systems. Which means every time you access RAM, you have an extra lookup to find the address of the memory you want (compared to ia32) However, amd64 uses the same extra table: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64#Virtual_address_space_details so I'm unsure how amd64 manages to avoid the performance issue, if that is indeed the reason for it. PAE is still a 32 bit architecture. This means that somehow the operating system has to translate 32bit pointers in the application into 64 bit pointers for actual memory access. The Wikipedia article doesn't explain how this is done, but it's possible (likely?) that this is a reason for decreased performance as well. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: postfix question
You would probably get better assistance if you asked this question on the Postfix forum. True. However, I did google through a lot of Postfix resources (documentation, forums, mailing lists...) and didn't find what I was looking for. I posted this question here hoping that someone already ran into this problem, solved it somehow and was perhaps willing to help me. I mean, people reading this list are system admins with experience. Your machine isn't trying to establish a connection to: [EMAIL PROTECTED], it is trying to establish a connection to IP address x.y.z.a... That is not relevant in my case. What I want to do is define two different smtp services in master.cf (each bound to a different IP address with smtp_bind_address option) and have Postfix use one or the other based on incoming interface or sender's address/domain. You need 2 mailservers to do what you want. That might be true with Postfix, although two instances on the same machine would suffice - I'm looking for a solution that doesn't include two instances. I know it can easily be done with Exim and I'm actually testing on my test machine Exim installation right now. Speaking of which, is FreeBSD with Exim a good combination for a mailserver, what are your experiences?

What's the final part to get awk to vi $9? Or another pipe and

I would use a simple approach incase you need to re-edit the list since
editing will change file times:
ls -l| awk '{if ($6 == "Apr" && $7 == 19 || $6 == "Mar" && $7 == 26 )
print $9}' > /tmp/myfilelist
then you can:
for i in `cat /tmp/myfilelist`;do vi $i;done
if you don't want to use a file, you can do in one shell loop too, but
again this will change your file modification times:
for i in `ls -l| awk '{if ($6 == "Apr" && $7 == 19 || $6 == "Mar" && $7 ==
26 ) print $9}'`;do vi $i;done

If you have a situation going where the building that all these employees are working in that contains them, their workstations, and their servers, is going to be vacated, such as a kind of virtual company scenario, then ASSUMING that the employees ALL have high-speed connectivity (DSL, Cable, or whatever) of at least a megabit, then the safest and most trouble-free way of doing it is to have ALL employees setup with their ISP's to have static IP addresses, amd then put hardware VPN firewalls at each employee's home and setup dedicated lan2lan VPNs that are permanently up all of the time. Linksys sells a very nice VPN firewall, the RV042, that is fantastic for this job. This will allow you to manage all employee computers just as if they were all in the now-missing building. This is particularly important as you can install patches, monitor for intrusion attempts, etc. It also moves the ickyness of the VPN client software away from the employees computer, simplifying that system. At the central hub where all the servers remain, you can easily setup a firewall that only allows VPNs in from the designated remote IP addresses. If however the need is for only periodic access, then investigate a remote control solution. I would recommend setting up a bastion host that is on your single public IP address, and a VNC server on it. Employees can use one of many VNC clients (there's even one for palm OS I belive) and go from their homes to the bastion host, then from the bastion host, xterm to their desktop systems. Putting a union NFS server up is just asking for trouble, particularly if you aren't restricting access to it via IP address.

RE: postfix question
Remember, UNIXes and suchlike use a single IP address route table. Your machine isn't trying to establish a connection to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is trying to establish a connection to IP address x.y.z.a Machines don't speak domainese. They translate the human-friendly stuff like domain names and such into IP addresses. Once the system resolves the recipient e-mail address into a destination IP address, the choice of interface that it goes out on is entirely controlled by the route table. And due to the single route table in the system, that is going to be the interface that reaches your default gateway. Even if this box was a router, like a Cisco that supports route maps that allow you to bypass the single route table, since the mail is originating from the system, it would always follow the same map anyway.

Hello Oliver, Would it help to pimp your transport map? #In the case of delivery via SMTP, one may specify host- #name:service instead of just a host: # # example.com smtp:bar.example:2025 You can replace bar.example with the IP address of the other interface. The way I understand, transport map selects messages based on recipient's address or domain. In the above example, only messages destined for example.com would get routed through the right interface. Once messages end up in the queue, qmgr uses trivial-rewrite to resolve recipient's address and selects a transport based on that. Or am I wrong? I need to route messages based on either sender's address/domain (this would suffice) or incoming interface (better).

How do I forward old root emails from the root mailbox to my address?
Hi, On one of my FreeBSD servers all system emails to root is stored in the root mailbox under /var/mail/root. I have updated my alias file so new mail is forwarded to one of my email adresses, but is there a simple way for me to send all these old mails in root's mailbox to my email address without logging in through pop3/imap? A command line trick would be perfect. Thanks for your help!

You can provide us your dmesg debug output by adding the following lines to /boot/loader.conf: kern.geom.eli.debug=3 GELI(8) says: Debug level of the ELI GEOM class. This can be set to a number between 0 and 3 inclusive. If set to 0, minimal debug informa- tion is printed. If set to 3, the maximum amount of debug infor- mation is printed.

Hmmm, I read it, and though it looks somewhat promising, I wonder if that'll work... The issue is that when first patching the C file, and then just trying a "make" it does nothing. When doing a "make clean", it will get all sources freshly again (hence undoing the patches made to the C file). From what I gather from the section you refer to, it will simply use a different working directory and/or install directory. However, wouldn't that try to simply install a newly build entire Apache 2.2.4 version next to the existing one (be it in a different directory, or not), with the difference that it is freshly built out of a different working directory (but still using the same fresh new sources)? For obvious reasons, I'm somewhat apprehensive about trying this on my live server (though I could possibly (ab)use my fallback server for it), and was kind of hoping there would be an easy way to just compile the mod_autoindex module, using the patched source... It appears I may have to fiddle around somewhat more with this, unless someone knows of a good way to achieve just that...? Cheers!

RE: atacontrol rebuild on non-identical disks
I didn't see a response and this is an old one, you probably fixed it by now. You will need to dd the old disk to a new one then get an identical to the new one and raid them. Of course if the new one is larger you will still have the existing smaller partition table. If it was me I would build a new server and ship it UPS ground out there. Your existing disk is probably about ready to fail too, and both disks probably died due to overheating caused by one or more fan failures, and if your power supply fan gets choked with dust, it's a goner then the supply will burn up. I would guess the inside of that server is pretty filthy about now. Ted -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Justin Sullivan Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 6:16 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: atacontrol rebuild on non-identical disks We have a (very) remote FreeBSD 5.5-RELEASE system running on Asus RS120 hardware and historically configured with 2 identical SATA drives using atacontrol RAID1 and the system installed on ar0. One of the drives has died, however no identical replacement drive could be easily sourced at the remote location. So, attempting to get things back to normal RAID1 operation as quickly as possible we have tried a same size but non-identical drive and attempted an atacontrol rebuild. However, this is stuck indefinitely at 0% rebuild progess. While I'm aware that some RAID1 mechanisms e.g. CCD seem to insist on identical disks, the documentation isn't so clear on ATA and I figured it was worth a try. Does anyone know if it is possible to overcome the non-identical disk issue and allow ata RAID1 to work again? I've also considered keeping the current ar0 setup on the single working disk and setting up a gmirror RAID1 copy on the second disk would work. Current config info is as follows: >From atacontrol list: ATA channel 2: Master: ad4 Serial ATA v1.0 ATA channel 3: Master: ad6 Serial ATA v1.0 >From the permanently going nowhere rebuild output of atacontrol status: ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: ad4 ad6 status: REBUILDING 0% completed The WDC WD2000JD on ad4 is the functional system drive and orignial member of the RAID1 array. ad6 is the new "spare" and presumably is completely blank still at this stage. I realise that sourcing an identical drive is probably the right (or at least easy) answer. The original drives (WDC WD2000JD on ad4) are still available for purchase, just not anywhere near where the machine lives - so getting a replacement drive would be a logistically difficult and time-consuming exercise.

I don't think that's how PAE works. AFAIK, it adds all the memory pages it can find (including those above and below 4 GB) into the VM pool with 64-bit addresses, so all of them can be used by the applications in an uniform way.

xargs(1) is your friend.
Simply arrange for your awk script to print out the names of all the
files you have selected to edit, then pipe the result into xargs.
Like so:
ls -l| awk '{if ($6 == "Apr" && $7 == 19 || $6 == "Mar" && $7 == 26 )
print $9}' | xargs vi
This does assume that the file names you are using do not contain
spaces, quote marks, brackets or other characters of syntactical
significance to the shell. In that case you could use something like
this:
find . -type f \( -mtime 6 -o -mtime 29 \) -print0 | xargs -0 vi
where find's '-print0' and the '-0' flag to xargs make the commands
produce and consume respectively a null separated list of filenames.
Unfortunately with find(1) there doesn't seem to be a way of expressing
an absolute date / time -- all you can do is the time difference between
now and when you want (which defaults to 'number of days' but can be set
to use various other time units. I can think of a couple of ways of
calculating that, but personally I'd find it cleaner to just roll the
whole thing into a small perl script which identified the files in
question and forked off an instance of vi(1) to do the editing.
Cheers,
Matthew

postfix question
Hello, does anybody know is it possible with Postfix to "route" e-mail based on either the inet interface message came from or the sender of a message? I'm using Postfix v.2.3.8 on a multihomed machine and have two smtpd's defined in master.cf. What I would like is that mail submitted through smtpd that is listening on A.B.C.D goes out through the smtp client that binds to A.B.C.D and the rest of the mail go through the other smtp client. The problem as I see it is that, once messages arrive in the queue, it becomes irrelevant where they came from and the only "routing" that is available is recipient-based.

first of misc questions....
Guys,
This is an awk-type question. Hopefully a one-liner. If I
need to use #!/usr/bin/awk and a BEGIN/END (or whatever it is),
that's okay...
I want to do an ls -l in a /home/kline/ and find and
edit files that are dated (let's say) Apr 19 or Mar 26. This
works to print $9 the filenames.
ls -l| awk '{if ($6 == "Apr" && $7 == 19 || $6 == "Mar" && $7
== 26 ) print $9}'
What's the final part to get awk to vi $9? Or another pipe and
xargs and "vi"? Nothing simple works, so thanks for any
clues!
