Re: amavisd-new spamcontroll problem
What is amavisd-new? Amavisd-new is a high-performance interface between mailer (MTA) and content checkers: virus scanners, and/or SpamAssassin. It is written in Perl for maintainability, without paying a significant price for speed. It talks to MTA via (E)SMTP or LMTP, or by using helper programs. Best with Postfix, fine with dual-sendmail setup and Exim v4, works with sendmail/milter, or with any MTA as a SMTP relay. The best thing in Amavisd-new is that it has SpamAssassin integrated. In the case of Postfix you can only have one additional transport method defined. If you used this method only for anti-virus filtering with amavisd (or amavis-perl) you could implement anti-spam filtering as "Simple content filtering" described in FILTER_README file. The best thing in Amavisd-new is that it has SpamAssassin integrated please refer this URL :http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200309/postfix-spamassassin.html From: Olivier Nicole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: amavisd-new spamcontroll problem Date: Fri, 25 May 2007 13:41:42 +0700 (ICT) >From the tutorial I uderstood that by installing amavisd-new will > install spamassasin too ? > and razor also coming with this .?

The first command was just to show that with the nv driver X didn't hang, while the second command, using nvidia driver, caused a segmentation fault. I suppose this error means I will not have OpenGL under the nv driver, but there are other drawbacks of using these instead of the nvidia driver, so I don't care. For instance, with the nv driver I get the desktop at most at 1/4 the maximum available resolution. Thanks anyway.

Here is one article: http://www.quepublishing.com/articles/printerfriendly.asp?p=170517&rl=1 I only skimmed that article, but it looks good. A google search is sure to turn up more. I would suggestion against ftp if possible. Scp (or "sftp") is cp/ftp over a "secure" (SSH) connection which allows for encrypt of passwords and/or files. This too can be automated - provided that your network storage device allows SSH connections. Also - using smbmount or smbclient (part of the samba package/port); you can use these to access the "Windows" share on the network storage device. If I remember correctly though, the Windows protocol doesn't encrypt the information, which is as bad as ftp - since the hackers can steal all your passwords, information and files! -J ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
amavisd-new spamcontroll problem
Hi Everybody This is Dhanesh , by the way of finding a solution for spam controll I come across this tutorial Postfix and SpamAssassin URL : http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200309/postfix-spamassassin.html I had a FreeBSD-6.0 box with postfix and mailman working fine .The problem is that my mailing list members including me getting lots of spams daily ..so I really in trouble . From the tutorial I uderstood that by installing amavisd-new will install spamassasin too ? and razor also coming with this .? (I have installed clamav before following this tutorial through usr/ports in FreeBSD box) SO I thought this AntiVirus clamav may be sufficent for using with amavisd-new and after this I followed tutorial postfix and spamassassin step by step upto section IV Section IV - Notifications/DSN, BOUNCE/REJECT/DROP/PASS destiny, quarantine. You may want to set these variables: $notify_sender_templ $notify_virus_sender_templ $notify_virus_admin_templ $notify_virus_recips_templ $notify_spam_sender_templ $notify_spam_admin_templ What valuses to set for this variables ,there is no such variables in the amavisd.conf file so I added this in the file and confused of giving what values to this variables ? so I commented these 6 variables and follwed the tutorial upto section V read_hash(\%whitelist_sender, '/var/amavis/whitelist'); read_hash(\%blacklist_sender, '/var/amavis/blacklist'); read_hash(\%spam_lovers, '/var/amavis/spam_lovers'); these three lines I just added in amavisd.conf ( I dont know whether to add any thing else more so I added the following lines from tutorial to the amvisd.conf file map { $whitelist_sender{lc($_)}=1 } (qw( freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] )); and I went to section VII added these 2 line $sa_local_tests_only = 0; $sa_auto_whitelist = 1; as before clamav I installed through ports so I commented all the lines except the ones related to clamav section. then have done # su - vscan $ touch blacklist whitelist spam_lovers $ mkdir tmp but tmp dir is already here so its not needed to create it explicitly.. then followed spamassassin local.cf configuration exactly .. But ther is no .spamassassin dir in /var/amavis so I created this .spamassassin dir here and then given the command below . $ touch /var/amavis/.spamassassin/user_prefs Then razor and Bayesian learning configured ( but ther is an error in bayesian learning script the user dir is /home/notspam but not /home/nospam .. anyways I given it correctly . ) then executed the command /usr/local/sbin/amavisd debug But the debug out put I dont know if it correct ya not ? so I am adding the debug output here Please let me know all my configurations is correct ya not ? and in /usr/ports/security/amavisd-new/work ther is no work directory and sample spam files , so let me give some sample spam codes so I ca test it ..

That is what this looks like. It looks like two 150 GB drives being handled separately. The raids I have handled have been SCSI or SAS, but I presume would be handled the same except switching da to ad. I have always had SCSI and so I have never had to muck with Master/Slave but it looks like you have the disks plugged in to channels 0 & 1 of the second controller. That doesn't look like it is set up for raid. Maybe something needs to be done in BIOS. I remember, as mentioned before, on the most recent systems I did, that both the individual drives and the raid device showed up in the DMESG output and it took a while to even notice the small single line with the raid device mentioned amidst the mass amount of stuff on the individual drives - there were 6. I almost missed it, but once I found it and used it, the system treated things just right.I don't know what would have happened if I had tried to build a system on the individual drive 0 instead of the raid device, since, fortunately I found it and built on the raid. jerry > > according to pciconf the atapci0 and atapci1 are differnt conrollers - > EIDE and SATA so they can both be on pci0 as 31.1 and 31.2?! still no RAID > though... > > thanks again... > > > > > Roland > > -- > > R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ > > [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] > > pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725) > > > > > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

One thing that I've noticed with zsh is that when I to add to or vi-edit a command, under Gnome, the cursor is at the left-hand-side of the cmd line. So if I were to pipe the cmd thru more, for example, I'v got to reach up, hit ESC and then arrow rightward until I come to the end of the command. Is there an easy fix for this? Using CTWM the cursor is already on the RHS. Second question: how can I make the digital time on the bar/panel *larger*?

Re: How does FreeBSD handle tcp checksum offloading
On 5/24/07, Erik Trulsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Checksum offloading is usually enabled by default for hardware that supports it (assuming that the driver for that hardware also supports it of course.) To see if a particular interface uses checksum offloading you can look at the output of 'ifconfig -m'. The "options" line in the output refers to those features that are enabled, while the "capabilities" line refers to those features that are available. (Checksum offloading for receive and transmit show up as RXCSUM and TXCSUM respectively.) Ifconfig can also be used to enable/disable the offloading - see the ifconfig(8) manpage for details and syntax. It can sometimes be desirable to turn of checksum offloading if one suspects that the hardware has some bugs in it that can cause the checksum to be wrong. (For those cases were the hardware has known bugs in this area, the driver normally disable checksum offloading by default.) Most hardware supported by the fxp(4) driver do not have support for checksum offloading, but some do. (The fairly commonly used 82559 chip does not support checksum while the less common 82550 chip does, for example.) Thanks for the info. This is cool. My Intel NIC is the 82550.

That seems to still be the going price. Have no regrets. Prints both sides, ethernet and USB interfaces, rated 30 ppm and prints faster than any printer we have at work. Postscript-3 clone and PCL-6. Works perfectly from MacOS and FreeBSD, altho I almost never use it from FreeBSD and can't really say I've given it a FreeBSD workout. As an early adopter it took a while for aftermarket refills to hit the market but the rated 7,000 page refill is under $20. Only difference I have noticed is the smell, and its only different, not better, not worse. Am a little concerned about the cost of replacing the drum, rated for 25,000 pages. Going rates for Bother toner + Brother drum is almost the same as a new HL-5250DN printer. With any luck the resurfaced drum companies will be ramped up by the time I need one. No point in running an envelope thru this printer, it wrinkles. Shortly after making my purchase some were running a special including an optional paper tray which would hold a full ream. The special bundled all that at the same $250 I paid. Have not seen that extra tray offered since. > As for the price, I'm thinking of 100 000 HUF (about 400 EUR) as > *very* maximum.

Checksum offloading is usually enabled by default for hardware that supports it (assuming that the driver for that hardware also supports it of course.) To see if a particular interface uses checksum offloading you can look at the output of 'ifconfig -m'. The "options" line in the output refers to those features that are enabled, while the "capabilities" line refers to those features that are available. (Checksum offloading for receive and transmit show up as RXCSUM and TXCSUM respectively.) Ifconfig can also be used to enable/disable the offloading - see the ifconfig(8) manpage for details and syntax. It can sometimes be desirable to turn of checksum offloading if one suspects that the hardware has some bugs in it that can cause the checksum to be wrong. (For those cases were the hardware has known bugs in this area, the driver normally disable checksum offloading by default.) Most hardware supported by the fxp(4) driver do not have support for checksum offloading, but some do. (The fairly commonly used 82559 chip does not support checksum while the less common 82550 chip does, for example.) -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If a particular NIC supports checksum offloading, it is typically enabled by default. It seems that it's only relevant for specific drivers rather than something that's just assumed. That's correct. Most of the gigabit NICs support it, but few of the older NICs do. How can I determine if this is supported for the hardware I'm running? Is it common for tcp checksum offloading to be in the fxp driver? Can one turn it off (though, it honestly sounds like no one would wish to do so)? You can use ifconfig to see whether the RXCSUM & TXCSUM options are listed, and you can use ifconfig to enable or disable it: rxcsum, txcsum If the driver supports user-configurable checksum offloading, enable receive (or transmit) checksum offloading on the inter- face. Some drivers may not be able to enable these flags inde- pendently of each other, so setting one may also set the other. The driver will offload as much checksum work as it can reliably support, the exact level of offloading varies between drivers. -rxcsum, -txcsum If the driver supports user-configurable checksum offloading, disable receive (or transmit) checksum offloading on the inter- face. These settings may not always be independent of each other.

Problem with geli after changing password
Hi: I changed the password for my encrypted disk partition with the command # geli setkey /dev/ad0s2d On boot I am requested to enter the password but it doesn't work. After failed attempts it falls back to single user mode. From there, I /CAN/ attach the partition and mount it. What has gone wrong - or better, how do I correct this? There is nothing in the password that seems to indicate that different keyboard layout when the password is initially requested, is the cause.

Depending on the size of your data, a level 0 dump could take a couple of hours. Unless you have a terabyte raid array, in which case a single USB disk probably won't cut it. :) On the other hand, if your dataset changes rapidly you might not save much with incremental dumps. You can save time by setting the nodump flag on directories that contain files that you don't really nead or can easily replace, such as /usr/obj, /usr/ports/distfiles, /tmp et cetera. > - Can dump incrementally update an existing dump, or is the idea that a dump > is a closed file and nothing except restore should ever touch it?

On a normal filesystem you save about 50% with gzip. But if you have lots of (already compressed) audio and picture data there are almost no savings. Compressing with gzip shouldn't tax the system too much, unless it's very old. Using bzip2 usually isn't worth it. It takes much longer and maxes out the CPU on my 2,4 GHz athlon64.

My desktop machine's file systems are backed up every week to a USB drive, using gzipped dumps. Every month I start with a new level 0 dump. When I run out of space I delete the oldest set of dumps.

To some extent, you must know how you use the system. After that, it is just a matter of experience with that system.

Yes, I neglected to mention the issue of veracity of the backups. dump/restore is the only one that completely handles the hard links the way you want.

If you have a catastrophic failure on a disk and need to replace it, there is every likelihood that the new drive will NOT be exactly like the old one. Doing a disk build with fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs and restoring from dumps would get you exactly what you want. But, using dd would not. You would have an exact copy of the old boot sectors, MBR, partition tables which would not be correct for the new drive (although they might work, sort of). > > 2 x system space would be enough for a full dump plus plenty of > increments, I'd say. No? Is there a rule of thumb? 3x? 4x? Depends a lot on how much your data changes. In your case, that would include log files, since you intend to back up the whole system.Other than log files, the system itself will not change a lot. But, I have no idea of what your data does. I would feel comfortable with 2X for my sort of stuff and be able to do a full, plus maybe half a dozen incrementals or so. But even 4X might not cover it for some volatile systems. > As far as restoring goes, let's assume my machine blew up one full > backup and 15 increments ago and I want to restore the entire system > in it's entirety from my backup.

It is probably a false sense of security. There used to be a verify option on dump, or maybe it was in some other proprietary version of UNIX I worked on. But it made dumps take so long that we quickly gave up using it. It required reading back the media and comparing it to the original. Then the verify often failed because a file was changed or deleted between the time it was written and the time it was verified.

My guess would be that it's not actually doing RAID. "Real" hardware RAID controllers either require their own drivers (twe, for instance shows disks as twed0, etc) or present disks as SCSI devices (e.g. da0). ATA pseudo-raid hardware supported by FreeBSD's ata(4) driver shows both the raw disks (ad4, ad6, etc) AND an "array" device like ar0. If RAID was set up in the BIOS then FreeBSD is probably ignoring it, perhaps because ata(4) doesn't grok the metadata format used by the RAID card. If I were you I would aim to migrate to gmirror RSN.

Not knowing what hardware you have, I would still hazard that a RAID device will not show up as /dev/adN. I would guess that the RAID controllers that use cam might have their devices called by the /dev/daN convention, but I don't know that. One of "those" days here, sorry. The last RAID controller I used under FreeBSD was a compaq 2i which showed up as /dev/ida0 and (IIRC) the RAID was /dev/idad0 (so idad0s1a, idad0s1b, and so on). The disks were all SCSI, but since none of them were plugged into either of the (more normal) SCSI controllers there were no /dev/daN at all. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Sounds like you are not quite as critical as the other post - somewhere in between. If you want an immediately available clone, then the best thing is to have an identical machine, preferably off-site and maintain it as a clone, probably using rsync, although you can reasonably use dump/restore for that too. If you need calls for just being back up in a reasonable length of time then you might prefer dumping to some media and if the need comes to restore, then you would have to recreate the disk structure - using fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs from the fixit image on the install CD or use sysinstall to run them for you. (I suggest that any serious System Manager become familiar with fdisk, bsdlabel and newfs, even if you usually let sysinstall handle them for you) Then you would use restore to pull the dumps back in. If your system is super critical as Doug Hardie posted about his, then you may want to use some combination of rsync-ing to a close and making dumps and consider storing some of these off-site. jerry > > Any advice appreciated. > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Yes, dump/restore is generally the way to go, unless you have not set up your partitions conveniently to separate what you want to dump from what you do not want to dump. The main reason to do a full dump followed by a series of incrementals is to save resources. This includes dump time as well as media to receive the dump[s]. If you happen to be using tape for example, a large full dump may take several tapes for each dump, but an incremental may then take only one for each. There is one more thing to consider. The way dump works is that it starts by making a large list of all the stuff it will dump. Then it starts writing to media (tape, disk file, network, whatever). On systems where files change frequently, especially new ones being added and old ones being deleted, it is quite possible, even probable that there will be changes between the time the index list is made and when the dump of a particular file/directory is written. dump and restore handle this with now problem and just a little warning message, but it makes the backup a little less meaningful. You will often see messages from restore saying it is skipping a file it cannot find. That is because the file was deleted from disk after the list was made, but before the data was written to media. Files created after the list was made will not be dumped until the next time dump is run. Files that are modified after the list was made will only be dumped if they were also modified before the list was made. That said, if the amount I am backing up takes less than about an hour for a level 0 and I have room for it, I always do the full dump each time and ignore the incremental issue.In cases where the full dump takes a long time, but there are typically not a lot of changes on the system, I usually do a level 0, followed only by a series of level 1 dumps until they tend to get large and then start another level 0 dump. > - Can dump incrementally update an existing dump, or is the idea that > a dump is a closed file and nothing except restore should ever touch it? No, dump does not work that way. It works on complete files. It keeps a record of when the most recent dumps were done along with the level of the dump that was done - in a file called /etc/dumpdates. Then, when it makes its list of files and directories to dump, it looks at the date the file was changed. If the change was more recent than the next lower dump level than currently being done, it adds the file to the list and dumps it to the incremental media. Full dumps just set the date of most recent dump to the "epoch" (1970) so any file or directory changed since then is dumped. Since that is the nominal beginning of time for UNIX of any time, all files will be changed since then and thus be added to the list to be dumped. So, essentially, yes to the second part of the question. A dump file might as well be considered a closed file. Incrementals are additional closed files. > > - How much does running a backup through gzip actually save?

As with other data, it depends on the data. I never compress dumps. Maybe I am a little supersticious, but I don't want any other complication potentially in the way under the circumstance when I find I need something from the dump.Also, you would have to uncompress the dump before you could do an 'interactive' restore or any other partial restore. jerry > > - Other folks dumping to a hard drive at night?

It depends a lot on what they actually are doing and what your host is actually running on. Is it a virtual machine? If so, you might have trouble using dd, but you might be able to do it another way. How does their 'rescue mode' work? Is it some BIOS thing or maybe additional hardware or some Ghost-like or Acronis system. It that case, it might be difficult, but maybe. Anyway, it might be do-able, but possibly more involved than just doing a dd. Anyway, dd is not the best way to move a complete disk image from one system to a dissimilar system. If you can get enough control over the disk, can you do an fdisk and bsdlabel on it. If so, then you can create partitions and make the disk bootable if it is a real disk and maybe even if it is a virtual disk. Then newfs the partitions to create file systems on them and use dump/restore to move file systems' data in to place on the disk. jerry > > Thanks! > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I ran into a few problems with update Xorg 7.2 and once I got that taken care of now I am getting this message from xsane? "Failed to open device "genesys.libusb/dev/usb0/dev/ugen0" Error during device I/O" I am using a Canon CanoScan LiDe 60. I have changed permissions on usb0 and ugen0 still get the same error.

If dmesg itself returns none of the startup info, you can look in /var/log/dmesg.[today|yesterday]. /usr/sbin/pciconf can tell you what controller(s) may be attached.

I have tried to mounting with mount_smbfs because the files are in a Samba share, but when i use cp to backup files to my Fsbd box i get many page errors and timeout. So i dont trust mount_smbfs too much. A solution for this? Yes, just use a backup client/system of your choice. Copying them to windows is not the first choise, neither is mounting the disk on a FreeBSD-Box. BTW: If you want to do something like this you should use NFS. I would recommend a backup method that is native to SCO. I never used it so I don't know what is available, but there should be something like "dump". This will do a backup on the filesystem level and allows incremental backups. There is at least a cpio available. So you create some files containing your backups, and you can transfer them to a remote machine... Alternatively you could check wether there is a backup solution available for SCO.

Mounting external SCO disks and mount_smbfs
Hi all I am trying to mount in my FreeBSD 6,2 box disk that are on a SCO System V Openserver release 5 In SCO it says that the disks filsystem is HTFS. If i try to mount from Fbsd says that "there is not external program for this filesystem". What I try is to mount them in order to backup there files. Can I do something to mount them UNIX<->UNIX? I have tried to mounting with mount_smbfs because the files are in a Samba share, but when i use cp to backup files to my Fsbd box i get many page errors and timeout. So i dont trust mount_smbfs too much. A solution for this? My actual solution is to Samba share the two box and use a MS Windows with a program i did to do the copy, but i think UNIX will be faster, also will be less network traffic.

It's java-based and I used the FreeBSD > native version of jdk1.4.2. Hmm. Maybe it was 9.5 which I last tried -- I ran into problems with the installer saying "hey, you're running FreeBSD. I have no idea what that is, so I'm going to refuse to install". I'll have to try this again some day and come bug you if I still can't get it to work. :-) Colin Percival ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Those libraries have (an undisplayed) prefix "/compat/linux". And there is no /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libqt-mt.so.3. This library is from qt3 rpm which we don't have currently at out ports tree. However you may try to install the port I wrote: ftp://ftp.ipt.ru/pub/download/linux-qt3.tar.bz2 # cp linux-qt3.tar.bz2 /usr/ports/x11-toolkits # cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits # tar xyf linux-qt3.tar.bz2 # cd linux-qt3 # make install clean I've tested the port at tinderbox (build/install/deinstall) but can't test at run time -- there may be missed dependencies (though I hope it shouldn't happen).

Traditional ethernet collisions aren't possible on modern hardware, since there's never more than one output writing to each twisted-pair. Even though all modern NICs will happily do full-duplex operation when connected via a switch, people still use hubs rather than switches, sometimes :-) You can still get ethernet collisions on a hub. In theory it is also possible to have collisions using a switch when the switches switching backplane is flooded.
