set env in chroot script
Greetz, I am a newbie of FreeBSD and I want to know how to set environment inside chroot in a shell script. My script looks like this: chroot $NEWROOT /bin/sh -c command And I want to set an environment, before the command. Is it possible that it will inherit my parent environment? like the environment set in my script?

I was able to add packages for less than a day before it broke. Sometimes I can still add or delete a package, but in at least one case, I can't because pkg_add says that an earlier version of the package is already installed, while an attempt to remove the earlier version using pkg_delete gets a message saying that no such package is installed. Apparently, pkg_add and pkg_delete do not refer to the same indicators of whether a particular package is actually installed. Attempting to build ports fails while trying to build dependency ports, which was what led to attempt to remove libtool and then add the newer version. I'll try to get a PR together and submitted soon. It is recommended to use an upgrade tool like portupgrade instead of trying to use pkg_add/pkg_delete by hand. It is too easy to misuse portinstall/portupgrade had failed to install/upgrade certain ports or packages to satisfy the dependencies in the ports I was trying to install or upgrade. I really did want to install or upgrade several ports, and so I had begun attempting to install the required (or later) versions of the prerequisites as packages in order to get around the build failures. It sounds like you may not have succeeded in first bringing your system back to a sane state. Anyway, if you have problems please be more explicit here. them and leave your system in an inconsistent state, as yours apparently has become. That sounds to me like an attempt to skate past my observation that Apparently, pkg_add and pkg_delete do not refer to the same indicators of whether a particular package is actually installed.

How to Upgrade Portupgrade?

Funny thing is that when trying the portupgrade -o solution and using pkg_info | grep portupgrade, no results were returned. The /var/db/pkg directory had no portupgrade* entries. Thus I just used portupgrade -N portupgrade to upgrade. All seemed OK. I did notice a make config window that asked me which version of Berkeley DB to use for the backend. Not knowing, I just chose the default of =2 and the port built without error. Next I attempted pkgdb -L suggested in the pkg-message file.

Dell D610 touchpad configuration
Hi all, I'm attempting to configure my laptop properly for X.org, and the only device which doesn't work properly now is the touchpad. The tutorials I've seen so far seem to assume that all touchpads use the Synaptic driver, but this is the information I get at boot time, and which I assume is the touchpad: $ dmesg | grep psm0 psm0: PS/2 Mouse irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: model GlidePoint, device ID 0 Apropos, dmesg | grep -i synapt gives no output, and dmesg | grep -i mouse only shows the PS/2 + the USB mouse. I've tried a lot of tutorials, restarting whenever I change something, but I always end up with the following problem: $ grep ^\(EE\) /var/log/Xorg.0.log (EE) Synaptics Touchpad Found no Synaptics, found Mouse model 1 instead (EE) Synaptics Touchpad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device (EE) Synaptics Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.

RE: Greylisting -- Was: Anti Spam
-Original Message- From: Christopher Sean Hilton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 9:05 AM To: Ted Mittelstaedt; User Questions Subject: Re: Greylisting -- Was: Anti Spam Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: [snip...] Greylisting works because many, and I'd like to say most, spam programs never retry message delivery. Actually, no. Greylisting works because it delays the spam injector long enough that the injector will get blacklisted by the time that the greylist opens the door for the mail to come in. Greylisting alone by itself is getting less and less effective every day. Spammers are now starting to setup spam injectors to retry. If you think about it, it is very easy to program. Simply create a list of victims, iterate through the list once, deleting all the victims that accept, then wait several hours and iterate through the list again. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Since SA has a lot of the major blacklist servers as score-feeders, the spam that gets past the greylist just gets tagged by SA. When I scan my maillogs I find that 22% of the hosts that generate a greylisting entry retry the mail delivery and thus get whitelisted. The other 78% don't attempt redelivery within the greylisting window. That's probably par. However, the reason your putting so much faith in the delaying, is simply that you aren't getting a lot of spam. I have published e-mail addresses. Without greylisting I got about 1500-2000 mail messages a day to each of them. With greylisting alone that drops down to about 400-500. The thing is, that spam is a numbers game. Someone who is only getting for example 50-100 spams a day to their mailbox is going to think greylisting is virtually 100% effective, simply because when they institute it, their spam goes from 50-100 down to 1-5 spams. So they are going to probably conclude that someone getting ten times the amount of spam as them will have their spam drop down to the same 1-5 after greylisting. But, spammers are perfectly willing to send 1000 spams to a single mailbox if they think that doing so will get 1 spam past the filters on that box. I do have customers with -unpublished- e-mail addresses that are perfectly satisfied with greylisting alone - simply because they don't get a lot of spam in the first place. But, that's like saying that injecting a can of stop-leak into a leaking tire is a fix for it. Stop-leak will reduce the rate that air leaks out down to an undetectable amount if the initial leak was small, but the tire still is leaking.

But here it is giving file system is full (device is full) but we used the entire disk how it is possible to full the disk. Well, that is a big problem. The first question is: is your disk small or is there a lot of stuff there that should be cleaned out? Doing an upgrade can require a lot of extra disk - a couple Gb or so, but not 30 GB or something like that.You also do not say which file system is full. If it is '/' and you have everything in '/', then it could be trouble. If it is /tmp and the other file systems have plenty of space, just nuke what is in /tmp. Use 'df -k' to check file system usage. Then cd to the file system that is full and use du(1) to find out where the space is being used. du -sk * CD in to any directory that look unexpectedly large and do the same du -sk * command again. Keep following the directory tree until you track down where some space might be filled with old or unnecessary stuff and clean it up. If you cannot make enough space that way, you may have to add disk. Once you get the disk issue worked out, then follow the handbook sections on upgrading step by step. It will work. And another thing is we updated the source tree but how to recompile this. The handbook tells exactly the steps you need to take. Each step is a 'make x' something in a correct directory and a reboot, plus a mergemaster. jerry - Ahhh...imagining that irresistible new car smell? Check outnew cars at Yahoo!

At one time I had high hopes that the internet would usher in a new era of increased knowledge and reduced gullibility. Instead it seems to have simply hastened the arrival to the wrong conclusions. There are opportunities for increased knowledge. Gullibility, though, is part of our human nature. How many of you delve four levels deep when looking for a quick reference on something that, in the long run, you care little about? I try to avoid stuff I don't care about. If you're not a mechanic or car enthusiast, do you look into anything and everything on how a clutch works, or every variation of four wheel drive implementations? Probably not. Yes, but if your driving a car you should. There's a lot of stuff people should be doing these days that they aren't doing. I guess people's mothers aren't telling their kids to eat their vegetables anymore. We don't devote time and resources into being renaissance people. Most of us don't. And the reasons why are complex, but what it essentially boils down to is that there's a lot of vested interests out there that don't want the majority of people to be renaissance people and so they have been on a campaign for many years to discourage it, and a lot of people are stupid and have fallen for that. For me, I look up the answer, if it sounds reasonable, I go with it unless someone else points out a deficiency in the answer. I need a quick and dirty answer to move on to things I *do* care about. Why do you need a quick and dirty answer for stuff you admittedly don't care about? The problem is that people will accept an answer whether it makes sense or not. We had someone once convinced that a Laser Car Wash cleaned cars by shooting small lasers at the car to clean it. It was something so far left field of what they're interested in and knowledgeable about that they just accepted the answer, even though there's no way such a system would be affordable (or safe enough) to use as a car washing tool.

Bandwith limitations, NAT and transparent proxy
Здравствуйте, freebsd-questions.
You need to add queue's and forward all you inside subnets to those
queues
smthing like this
${fwcmd} pipe 1 config bw 128Kbit/s queue 20Kbytes
${fwcmd} queue 1 config pipe 1 weight 50 queue 20 mask dst-ip 0x
${fwcmd} queue 2 config pipe 1 weight 50 queue 20 mask src-ip 0xfff
${fwcmd} add 4 queue 1 ip from any to 192.168.1.128/25 via em0
${fwcmd} add 40001 queue 2 ip from 192.168.1.128/25 to any via em0
Hi !
I have FreeBSD 4.8 installed.
There is IPFIREWALL, IPFIREWALL_FORWARD, IPDIVERT and DUMMYNET in my
kernel configration.
On my FBSD gateway to the Internet I would like to use NAT (of course
:-))) ), transparent proxy and limit the outgoing traffic.
xl0 (62.169.170.166/30) is the public interface, xl1 (192.168.1.1/24) is
the private one.
If my firewall rules look like:
ipfw pipe 1 config bw 256Kbit/s queue 40Kbytes
ipfw add 47 pipe 1 ip from any to any out via xl0
ipfw add 48 allow ip from 192.168.1.1 to any
ipfw add 49 fwd 192.168.1.1,3128 tcp from 192.168.1.0/24 to any 80
ipfw add 50 divert 8668 ip from any to any via xl0
... (the rest of OPEN firewall rules)
nothing except http (because of transparent proxy, I think) goes through
the gateway from the local net.
If my firewall rules look like:
ipfw pipe 1 config bw 256Kbit/s queue 40Kbytes

Do you have any ideas, how to get these three things (bandwith

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a laptop that I am currently updating world to the latest from the v6 branch, once that is done I want to completely start fresh with the GUI. Right now I have gnome in a mostly working state, a mostly out of date KDE and a bunch of other random crud I have installed over the last 16 months or so. Instead of trying to use portupgrade and have it fail out/fix/restart, I was thinking life would be easier if I just removed anything graphical and start that from scratch. This way all my settings/data remain intact and I can just do a pkg install the new stuff. Is anyone aware of a quick/safe way of blowing away nearly all installed apps as such to start from near scratch. I do use bash and probably a couple other non-GUI installs, so I didn't necessarily want to kill _all_ installed ports/pkgs but I might be willing to do that if needed.

No SMB/Samba support on Windows Home Editions

I just had a long talk with the ISP's tech support, and was told a number of things that I would like to confirm or deny: 1) Windows Home editions (including XP and Vista) have support for SMB protocol disabled in Active Directory Domain Connections functionality! Is this true? 2) The only way to make Samba work for Windows Home editions is to change the Samba server's domain configuration to peer-to-peer. Is this true? If YES, how do I do that? Could not find reference it in the Official Samba-3 HOW TO and Reference Guide. 3) Other options discussed: 1) Replace Vista Home with Windows XP Pro (or Vista Pro) or exchange computer for one with a Pro edition. 2) Repartition the RAID 1 Mirror/Duplex as NTFS (or DOS) partitions (and don't use Samba)? Feedback and reference on a good how to appreciated. 3) Change FreeBSD server to a Windows server (ugh). Can anyone address these assertions and/or provide assistance in other ways to use FreeBSD as a fileserver for Windows Home (and Pro) clients?

Re: Greylisting -- Was: Anti Spam
Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: [snip] When I scan my maillogs I find that 22% of the hosts that generate a greylisting entry retry the mail delivery and thus get whitelisted. The other 78% don't attempt redelivery within the greylisting window. That's probably par. However, the reason your putting so much faith in the delaying, is simply that you aren't getting a lot of spam. I have published e-mail addresses. Without greylisting I got about 1500-2000 mail messages a day to each of them. Greylisting isn't just about delaying. IIRC greylisting is filtering for spam/ham based on behaviour in the message originators MTA. My greylister is using two behavioural assumptions: Spamming MTA's don't have the capability to queue and retry mail. Asking them to queue and retry will cause them to drop the mail on the floor thus filtering spam. Spamming MTA's don't like to be tarpitted. Stuttering at them and sizing the TCP Windows so they must wait will result in them disconnecting before they can exchanged mail thus filtering spam. I may not receive as much spam as you but I do think that I receive a lot of spam. For mail vindaloo.com is a small domain. I'm a mail reflector for a couple of .orgs and I have a handful of addresses for which I'm the endpoint. My greylister trapped 1907 connections from 1566 hosts on Tuesday. I assume that without my greylister this would have been 1566 delivered messages and nearly all of them would have been spam. In a nutshell here's my math: Tuesday's spam statistics: 1907 connections from 1566 hosts to the greylister. 1411 hosts hung up before getting to an SMTP RCPT TO. (rejected by Tarpitting) 121 hosts worked with pf-spamd and sent an SMTP RCPT TO generating a greylisting tuple. None of these hosts attempted redelivery. (rejected by delay/queue) 34 hosts worked with pf-spamd as above enough to generate a whitelist transaction. For roughly the next month these 34 hosts can deliver mail to me. Assuming that the each host wanted to send one message and that the one message was spam my greylister has achieved a rejection rate of 97.8% over 1566 messages. The real beauty of this is that it comes with little resource cost to me. Without Greylisting those 1566 messages would have to be scanned by Spam Assassin. I use SA's bayes filter. Last time I looked at it SA was averaging 2 ~ 4 seconds per message scanned. I'm not sure it would have to be done how well SA works when concurrently scanning messages but if I just do the simple math that's 1.3 hours of real time scanning messages for spam. Without greylisting I'd have to buy new hardware for my mailserver and that's just not worth it. -- Chris -- __o All I was doing was trying to get home from work. _`\,_ -Rosa Parks ___(*)/_(*)___ Christopher Sean Hiltonchris | at | vindaloo.com pgp key: D0957A2D/f5 30 0a e1 55 76 9b 1f 47 0b 07 e9 75 0e 14 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Is this true? Depends on what you mean. You can access Samba share from Win XP Home, but you cannot join a domain. I guess Vista Home should work the same, but I don't really know: there might still compatibility issues in Samba, but we are a bit OT here; you should ask on a Samba list. 2) The only way to make Samba work for Windows Home editions is to change the Samba server's domain configuration to peer-to-peer. Is this true? If YES, how do I do that? Could not find reference it in the Official Samba-3 HOW TO and Reference Guide. AFAIK there is no such switch in Samba. A Samba server can be a PDC, a BDC, a domain member or a stand-alone server, but the concept of peer-to-peer is quite out of scope. Besides I've succesfully connectectd many WinXP Home to a PDC/BDC, so I guess that setting is irrelevant. 3) Other options discussed: 1) Replace Vista Home with Windows XP Pro (or Vista Pro) or exchange computer for one with a Pro edition. Quite expensive. Might be worth or might be not. Either way it's not the solution for you; I fear your problems lies somewhere else and you would still get them, unless what you are trying to achieve is a central account/password management. If that is in fact the case, this is *the only* solution. 2) Repartition the RAID 1 Mirror/Duplex as NTFS (or DOS) partitions (and don't use Samba)?

Re: Desktop rebuild

Right now I have gnome in a mostly working state, a mostly out of date KDE and a bunch of other random crud I have installed over the last 16 months or so. Instead of trying to use portupgrade and have it fail out/fix/restart, I was thinking life would be easier if I just removed anything graphical and start that from scratch. This way all my settings/data remain intact and I can just do a pkg install the new stuff. Is anyone aware of a quick/safe way of blowing away nearly all installed apps as such to start from near scratch. I do use bash and probably a couple other non-GUI installs, so I didn't necessarily want to kill _all_ installed ports/pkgs but I might be willing to do that if needed. Any thought on the best way to approach this? The best method I have come up with is to first gather a list of leaf packages with ports-mgmt/portmaster: $ portmaster -l and then (assuming you have ports-mgmt/portupgrade installed): $ pkg_deinstall -r leaf pkg names or $ pkg_delete -r leaf pkg names ports-mgmt/pkg_cutleaves is a bit overly thorough (and underly[1] conservative) for my tastes, but may be more your style. This shouldn't delete anything required by the stuff you want to keep and should clean out most of the kipple. Multiple runs are suggested and deleting root packages (as listed under portmaster -l) most likely won't harm anything (though some of them may be reinstalled when you upgrade). pkg_deinstall has the advantage of being able to issue $ pkg_deinstall -Rr kde* , which will delete anything requiring kde and required by kde (at least that is not required by some other package), and the disadvantage of requiring that both perl and ruby be installed.

controlling the wireless interface

DHCP client configuration on FreeBSD
When I ran the DHCP client configuration tool on FreeBSD 6.2, it added a new hostname variable to /etc/rc.conf below existing the hostname var (it did not remove or comment-out the old hostname variable). The NEW hostname includes the ISP's domain name: hostname=dhcppc0.ISP domain name here This hostname differs from the hostname listed in the router's DHCP table dhcpp0 (no domain name). It also shows unique IP addresses and MAC addresses for all hosts on the LAN. I can ping the IP address assigned to the FreeBSD system, but ping and net lookup fail when its hostname is specified (both with and without the domain name). Questions: 1) Why did the hostname get changed (does not occur for Windows clients)? 2) Why does the hostname in /etc/rc.conf contain the DNS domain name? 3) How do I resolve this problem?

Questions: 1) Why did the hostname get changed (does not occur for Windows clients)? 2) Why does the hostname in /etc/rc.conf contain the DNS domain name? FreeBSD uses the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) as the hostname. Example: hostname= yourmachine.yourdomain.com 3) How do I resolve this problem? Unless you provide your own DNS that resolves your internal network and supersede dhclient with your domain name, DHCP will use the domain and DNS from your provider. Your windows boxes point to your isp's nameservers which have no records of your server or it's address. Therefore it can't resolve your machine's hostname. If you do provide your own internal name service you will also need to edit /etc/dhclient.config (see man dhclient.conf), and point your windows boxes to your DNS instead of your isp's. You can use a fictitious domain name internally, just make sure that the domain doesn't actually exist on the net. You can also use the FreeBSD IP address as a domain name on your windows boxes to connect. Running bind requires a fairly steep learning curve, but there are simple nameservers in the ports tree that would probably better suit your needs. Beech Thanks! __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Based on someone's comments about OSX though, there might be an issue
with the underlying base system or kernel in FreeBSD 6.2 that
Thunderbird 2 unearths, dealing with filesystem handling, threading,
linking, or something along those lines (I know, that really doesn't
narrow down the list). It should be a core component though because
Thunderbird under OSX doesn't have any GTK or X11 support compiled in
and is natively run under Aqua.
I'll look for the core dump sent previously, but if more people can
contribute their core dumps this would help isolate the issue. The
bigger (and compressed) the better, as long as you don't have sensitive
data hanging around in the background. This might just help capture the
problem at hand.
Hardware specs and CPUTYPE, as well as whether or not you're running a
custom or generic kernel with what options would help as well. Please
link off site if you can.
After that maybe we should all band together and submit a bug report.
Now let me see if I can reproduce it on my iBook :).
Thanks,

Re: PF NAt
/etc/pf.conf
exter_if = vr0
^^^
nat on $exter_if from $inter_if to any - $exter_if
^
Now look at man page about nat/rdr rule syntax:
nat-rule = [ no ] nat [ pass ] [ on ifspec ] [ af ]
[ protospec ] hosts [ tag string ] [ tagged
string ]
[ - ( redirhost | { redirhost-list } )
[ portspec ] [ pooltype ] [ static-port ] ]
Grammar says, that after the - keyword there should be specified
_host(s)_. So, if you want to use a macro, pointing to your interface
_name_, there's a technique to translate it to it's primary or any
aliased IP:
($macro)
Your line should look like this:
nat on $exter_if from $inter_if to any - ($exter_if)

Re: limited shell access

A lot of work if you ask me ... :). -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
