Re: startup / shutdown script (rc.d)
as my luck would have it...this didn't work...i used your script...test it by running ./rtest start ./rtest stop and everything worked fine (note: i changed the name from rails to rtest as rails is an actual command)... but when i rebooted nothing happened. I had the output dump to file and the file was empty upon restart, which makes me believe it never actually ran.. Side Note: Jerry, the mongrel_rails command does spew some output, which is why i dump it to file... i even added the line rtest_enable=YES in my /etc/rc.conf file and rebooted, but still no luck thanks for your help fellas...i'll keep reading up as you suggested... -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/startup---shutdown-script-%28rc.d%29-tf3848895.html#a10982826 Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, it is possible. The keyword is 'limit'. From the ipfw manual:
limit {src-addr | src-port | dst-addr | dst-port} N
The firewall will only allow N connections with the same set of
parameters as specified in the rule. One or more of source and
destination addresses and ports can be specified. Currently,
only IPv4 flows are supported.

I think that people saying it is secure and people saying it isn't secure are talking about different things. Most VPN set-ups do what they are supposed to do securely. But often what they are supposed to do is insecure. What I mean by the latter is that they often allow unsecured home machines which may be compromised in many different ways join a secure remote internal network. That is, people typically use VPNs to allow external machines (or networks) to join a local network. That's what they do. But allowing that can be very insecure. Basically it is important to by distrustful of hosts on the VPN. Again, I'm just guessing at what might be behind the seemingly contradictory claims that you've heard.

Also I just wanted to mention that when booting the freebsd cd if I escape to the loader prompt and lsdev I get cd0: Device 0x1 I would guess this would mean that freebsd would be able to load the kernel off of the cd device?

Re: GEOM/GELI Boot Disk Encryption

I've found instructions (freebsd manual) for creating secondary disks, but not the boot disk in particular. Can anyone point me in the right direction? The /boot directory must not be encrypted, so you need to put that on a separate slice. As for the rest, maybe the following thread will help you; http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-geom/2006-July/001401.html The thing is that sysinstall doesn't support creating encrypted disks, so during install, you'd have to initialize and mount the encrypted slices manually, and then resume sysinstall. Personally, I wouldn't bother encrypting anything but your own data, i.e. /home. And for backup purposes it's better to make a seperate slice for that anyway. Disk encryption is only usefull when your disk is stolen; as long as the disk is mounted, the data is readable (if permissions allow) anyway. If your /home is already a separate slice, back up your data, unmount /home and encrypt it according to geli(8). Mount your encrypted drive and restore your backup. A good idea might be to create a virtual machine with e.g. qemu, and practice on that before you screw up anything important. :-) 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) pgptLRn8K4Q7P.pgp Description: PGP signature

I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I just joined the list (I am already on so many FreeBSD lists already). I appreciate any insight that people can offer. Hello Richard, I think the most common (and thus more mature) solution for this are amavisd-new + SpamAssassin + clamav, they have a lot of dependencies, though. Clamav catches all the viruses, just the spams had caused problems with this configuration, before I started to use postgrey. I see your concerns about dependencies, but I think sometimes we have to make sacrifices for the most appropriate choice. This also applies to the next solution I recommend you and this is greylisting with postgrey. It does not have too much dependency, but it works in a way, that you can loose important mails as well. The concept of greylisting is that the server responds to the sender with an error code meaning a temporary failure and places the sender to a list called greylist when a mail is being sent. After some minutes (5 or so), well-configured STMP servers resend the mail, when your server notices, that the given server was greylisted, and now it can be trusted. Spam bots don't usually resend mails, they are too primitive for this atm. It can change in the future, but for now, the method works, it's been very well for me. The only problem is that there are STMP server that are configured in a weird way and they don't send out mails later again. Postgrey offers a solution, though. You can place such servers to a whitelist and they will be excluded from the greylisting. I have heard good experiences about dspam as well, but haven't used it, thus I can't form any opinion.

I did ls dev/da0 == dev/da0 Then mount /dev/da0 /home == incorrect super block. You're trying to mount the drive as a UFS filesystem; this is the default for mount. Are there no other devices starting with da0? Because usually USB keydrives are partitioned and then the first partition is formatted as FAT32. So you probably want /dev/da0s1, or sometimes /dev/da0s4 if it exists. It is also not a good idea to mount on /home, because it will mask your home directory. If you want to mount a disk as a normal user instead of root, there are some things that need to be set up correctly, see below. It's better to use something like: mount_msdosfs -m 644 -M 755 -o noatime,noexec,nosuid,sync /dev/da0s1 /mnt/mydir I've written a small shell script to do this for me; #!/bin/sh # Mount a thumbdrive with a MSDOS filesystem DIR=/mnt/$USER DEV=/dev/da0s1 # It is assumed that $DIR exists, and is owned by $USER. # Check if $DIR is already used. if mount|grep $DIR /dev/null; then echo $DIR is already mounted! exit 1; fi # Check if $DEV is available. if ! ls $DEV /dev/null 21; then echo $DEV does not exist! exit 1; fi # Everything OK, try to mount. mount_msdosfs -m 644 -M 755 -o noatime,noexec,nosuid,sync $DEV $DIR N.B.: - /mnt/$USER should be an existing directory, and that you should be it's owner. - the script will fail if there is already an USB disk attached. (it should use da1s1 in that case) - the sysctl vfs.usermount should be set to 1 to allow normal users to mount filesystems - the permissions on the /dev/da0 device whould be set such as to allow you access.

no, use portupgrade as per the UPDATING doc, even if it is,effectively, a

Reading disclaimers makes you go blind. Writing them is worse. You have
been Warned.
If it's a clean install of X11 / complete system, you can get away
with doing the standard make install in the ports directories you want.
The only thing that you need to do is export / setenv XORG_UPGRADE=yes
like UPDATING states.
For upgrades, yeah stick with a supported tool (currently only
portupgrade-devel and portmaster I believe).
-Garrett
As a side note, i used portupgrade, not portupgrade-devel.
I got a few ports reported as failed, but it turned out they were ok.
They only thing i needed to do was to change the path of the modules
in xorg.conf, to reflect the new location.

Re: Virtualization of FreeBSD
On 6/6/07, Sean Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is anyone running virtualization of FreeBSD servers on VMware or other virtualization software? What experiences have you had, good or bad? At home I run have several FreeBSD installs running on Windows 2003 VMWare Server. The only reason I'm doing this is because FreeBSD doesn't support my raid controller, so I'm stuck with windows. Overall it works fine. However, you do have terrible disk (and to a lesser extent network) performance. I use these installs mostly for developing and testing software, so it's not a big deal for me. Here are a few tips for getting the most out of a FreeBSD server on VMWare (this is for Windows only): - If you have enough memory, add prefvmx.minVmMemPct = 100 and prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = TRUE to VMWare config.ini (App Data under All Users). That will keep all the VM memory in ram instead of swapping it to the disk. The rest of the settings go into your FreeBSD.vmx file. - Disable named memory file: mainMem.useNamedFile = FALSE - Disable page sharing: sched.mem.pshare.enable = FALSE - Disable memory trimming: MemTrimRate = 0 - Be sure to use Intel gigabit network adapter: ethernet0.virtualDev = e1000 In previous versions of VMWare Server you had to configure your kern.hz sysctl to be 100. Otherwise your clock would run very slow. I think they fixed it in the latest version, but just keep that in mind. Disk performance is quite bad.

I've found instructions (freebsd manual) for creating secondary disks, but not the boot disk in particular. Can anyone point me in the right direction? The /boot directory must not be encrypted, so you need to put that on a separate slice. As for the rest, maybe the following thread will help you; http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-geom/2006-July/001401.html The thing is that sysinstall doesn't support creating encrypted disks, so during install, you'd have to initialize and mount the encrypted slices manually, and then resume sysinstall. Personally, I wouldn't bother encrypting anything but your own data, i.e. /home. And for backup purposes it's better to make a seperate slice for that anyway. Disk encryption is only usefull when your disk is stolen; as long as the disk is mounted, the data is readable (if permissions allow) anyway. If your /home is already a separate slice, back up your data, unmount /home and encrypt it according to geli(8). Mount your encrypted drive and restore your backup. A good idea might be to create a virtual machine with e.g. qemu, and practice on that before you screw up anything important. :-) 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]

I have a toshiba laptop (I forget the model number, and it's not with me at the moment) and it does the same thing. The only thing I didn't try, is to attempt an install with a stripped custom kernel. On the down side, I haven't gotten back to that project (among others), so I have yet to get it to work.

Where ever did you come across this? Ever observe any oddities in the Windows SysLogs regarding LAN adapter errors? Cheers, Mikel You mean the info in general, or the e1000 part? I never had any errors in my Windows sys log. However, if you use the default network adapter you will have problems. I don't remember what the exact error is, but I remember that when downloading the ports tree, for example, it will periodically interrupt the transfer. Something about dropped packets, or something else like that. Never had problems with e1000, but the network only seems to perform at about 1/2 of what the host OS can handle. Most of those configuration options I just gathered over time of reading the VMWare forums, people's blogs, and other places. The disk problem is the only one I couldn't find a decent solution to. I tried using IDE and SCSI disks, but the results are the same. If you read the release notes for VMWare Server, you'll notice that they actually don't claim FreeBSD 6.2 or 6.1 support, only 6.0. I never tested 6.0, but I get the feeling that FreeBSD is in general not very high on VMWare's to-support list. Maybe in the future they'll improve things. Oh one more thing I forgot to mention. After you install FreeBSD, install perl5.8 and then the VMWare tools. That will let you do a clean shutdown of the system by using the off button on VMWare console (more useful when the host OS is going down). However, the script that comes by default with VMWare tools doesn't actually power down the machine. Instead it does shutdown -h, so the thing keeps running. To fix this, open /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware-tools.sh, do a search for '--background' and on the next line add '--halt-command /sbin/shutdown -p now'. That will allow the VM to properly shutdown. Keep in mind that because VMWare tools depend on the /proc system to know when it is running, doing things like `vmware-tools.sh status` will not give you accurate information. Instead use `top` to make sure 'vmware-guestd' is in there. - Max ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Resource usage by SpamAssassin is not a problem for us. For myself I use bogofilter with about 6-7 common sense procmail rules. Before adding greylisting I was getting about 600 spams/day to the various public email addresses I read. My procmail/bogofilter combination is much greater than 98% accurate. Greylisting reduced the spams presented to 100-200/day. It does not seem (in theory) it should do that well. I would have never tried greylisting except one of the FreeBSD developers told me the mailing lists were using it with good results. As mentioned earlier, the biggest problem with bogofilter is training it.
