Vista! You have no UTF-8 based locales (eg., bn_BD.UTF8), so you are
really useless. Resign yourself, please ;;

Have you tried qemu? You might need to replace its bios file by a newer
one that supports EFI. (google for 'qemu vista').

Postfix woes

2007-10-18 Thread Rem P Roberti

I did what you all requested and submitted my Postfix problem to the
Postfix list.  The resident guru went over my maillog and sent back his
analysis which, in short, states that the problem has nothing to do with
Postfix, and that I should seek help here to get to the bottom of it
all.  That reply is listed below.   This is a rather strange business.

Something runs "postfix reload" five seconds after Postfix starts. It is
not Postfix doing that, so find the start script or cron job responsible.

Something runs "postfix stop" 85 seconds after that, it is not Postfix
doing that, so find the start script or cron job responsible.

The code in question wants to make doubly sure that Postfix is down,
which it is.

Postfix is restarted by something on your system 106 seconds later.

Something is trying to start Postfix again. I am guessing you have two
Postfix start scripts fighting each other...

An hour or so later, something is trying to run "postmap" or "postmap
-q", it is not Postfix doing that. Find the cron job or start script
in question.

This insanity has nothing to do with Postfix, if you can't find the
cron jobs, start scripts, management agents, ... that are doing this,
go back the FreeBSD list and ask for help to find them.

Your hearing is not good.  Win4BSD is a terrible product when compared
with the very old version of VMware.  Its only advantage is that you can
run it with more than one CPU (namely, APIC is enabled).  Win4BSD is
less stable, less responsive, and it appears to be dead as far as
activity goes.  FWIW, in my opinion qemu/kqemu is not particularly good,
either.

VMs in general are a problem on Free.  There is an effort to port the
most recent VMware Workstation by a very good man.  I do hope this
works, because right now things in the VM world on FreeBSD truly are
bleak.

$45 is far cheaper than EMC's VMWare workstation edition. Does it support Vista
now? interesting..you can also try QEMu, on which Win4BSD is partly based .

btw, I thought vmware wkstation  wouldnt work on fbsd...? has that changed? I
know there is an old port hanging around, but that is quite old.. a linux
license for VMWare Workstation is needed.

Usually when 'sendmail' is in a subject line, one can usually expect
Giorgos respond :)

This is not a Sendmail issue, per-se.

If we can take this back one step to re-evaluate the entire situation it
may help:

- what is the domain you are seeing issues with (are there more than
one? If so, are they on the same box/IP?)
- what IP is this domain's mail operating on
- examples of domains you see problems with, and examples of those you don't
- is it only mailing lists you have problems with
- do you receive this email I am sending on the problematic server

Do you have another site that you can confirm working/not working?

Re: ahd0 Transmission error [was: can you help me?]

2007-10-18 Thread Steve Bertrand

I am beyond confident that there are people here that can help, but
you must certainly wrap this in context:

# uname -a

...would be a start, more importantly, what context is this in (boot?).

This is beyond me, but with more context and a better subject line,
you have a MUCH better chance of the busy people that offer their time
to work with the hardware/drivers in question will review your request
and possibly offer a response, or notice the need to file a PR.

I don't have Greg's 'howto get good responses from the list' monthly
post handy, but take a look in Google for how to submit a question to
a mailing list to get a good response.

Even a subject line of "Hardware _insert-vendor-product_ causes fault
on boot" would help attract attention of people that selflessly claim
responsibility for it's operation (and therefore communication with
the people that take care of it's lower-level workings).

I don't personally recognize many of the drivers in question, so
hopefully someone else who does know will help out.

Yes, quite likely sendmail sending daily etc reports?  You can either
run a (real or fake) ident daemon (see inetd.conf), or have the firewall
reset (not drop) such connections, avoiding sendmail(ono) delays waiting
for a response.  If running a mailserver, this applies to outside too.

On the contrary .. if your firewall is working correctly, you shouldn't
ever be seeing connection attempts to non-listening ports, especially
from outside.  log_in_vain messages indicate some attention is needed,
either to block or reset those connections, or to provide a listener :) 
so removing log_in_vain (shooting the messenger) may not be a good idea.

Vinum Raid 5: Bad HD Crashes Server. Can't rebuild array.

2007-10-18 Thread FX Charpentier

 Hi there,



I setup this FreeBSD 4.9 a while back (I know, I know this isn't the  latest 
version; but look it's been running perfectly since then), with  the OS on a 
SCSI drive and a vinum volume on 3 IDE 200GB drives, hook on  a Promise IDE 
controller.



A) The Crash

= = = = = = = 

The vinum volume is set in a Raid 5 configuration.  Here is how it's  
configured:




   drive d1 device /dev/ad4s1h


   drive d2 device /dev/ad5s1h


   drive d3 device /dev/ad6s1h


   volume datastore


 plex org raid5 256k


   subdisk length 185g
drive d1


   subdisk length 185g
drive d2


   subdisk length 185g
drive d3





Each drive in the array had a single partition, and were labeled with a  type 
of "vinum" and an "h" partition.



Last Saturday night, drive d2 (ad5) went bad.  To my surprise the  server 
stopped, crashed and automatically rebooted.  I got a "kernel panic"  at the 
console and the server would stop during the boot process when  trying to start 
/ mount the vinum volume.



=> Q1: Isn't a Raid 5 configuration supposed to allow me to run on  a degraded 
array, when 1 of the drive is missing?

=> Q2: Did I do anything wrong with the vinum config above?





B) The Recovery (well, sort of)

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

So, the next day I got a brand new 250GB hard drive and replaced d2  (ad5).  
Then I did the fixit floppy thing to comment out vinum from both  rc.conf and 
fstab.  This way I was able to start the server.



I prepared the new drive with Fdisk first, then did a 'disklabel' to  change 
the type to "vinum" and the partition to "h".  After that I  created a special 
vinum configuration file called 'recoverdata' to recover  the volume, and put 
"drive d2 device /dev/ad5s1h" there.  Finally I ran:  vinum create -v 
recoverdata.  This worked and I finally entered vinum  in interactive mode.



First thing, I started vinum with the 'start' command.  That worked.  Next, I 
did a "ld -v" to bring information about the vinum drives.  Vinum drive d1 came 
up with the right information.  d2 came
up with some information.  d3 had all fields, but no information.  It was just 
like a drive with only blank information.

I checked d2, formerly failed, was pointing at ad5, then ran an "lv -r" to 
ensure that datastore.p0 said 'degraded'.  It did.  Finally to rebuild the 
array I ran: start datastore.p0.

At that point I didn't notice right away, but I had "vinum [xxx]: reviving 
datastore.p0.s0".  I started to get worried the drive to rebuild is 
datastore.p0.s1.  Then reviving failed at 69%.

I tried "start datastore.p0.s1" to rebuild the array, but that failed at 69% 
too.

=> Q3: What can I do to revive the array?  I don't know what to do at this 
point.
=> Q4: Did I do anything wrong in the recovery process?  Just want to make sure 
I learn from my mistakes.

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Separating Mail from Security Output and Daily Run Output

2007-10-18 Thread Michael K. Smith - Adhost

Hello All:

Is there a way on the server side to have the output from the Security
Run and the Daily Run to go to separate email addresses?  We have a
gihugic number of servers sending everything to a single address and I'd
like to be able to parse out the Security reports by "from" address
rather than using other, less reliable filters in my various email
clients.

Regards,

Mike

Thanks to all.  I have run postmap transport, and the rc.conf was
exactly as per pkg-message.  As far as the starting and stopping, I'm
still clueless.  To the best of my knowledge there are no scripts which
would cause the problem, and nothing strange in cron.

Thanks Per olof, I will run postmap and see what happens.  As it turns
out, The Book of Postfix just arrived, so I now have some good reference

For starters, you should read the Postfix documentation. You might also try
posting on the Postfix forum. Check out http://postfix.com for further details.

Now, before you go any further, the log file is telling you that your
'transport' is out of date. You have to run 'postmap' on it and then restart
Postfix to get it corrected. Try: 'postmap /usr/local/etc/postfix/transport'
assuming that your transport map is named 'transport'. This will update the
mapping.

You should always supply the complete output of: "postconf -n" when asking
help regarding Postfix. It saves a lot of time.

You really should google for this stuff - or join the postfix list.

/usr/local/etc/postfix/transport


Read the install docs regarding postmap or man (1) postmap

You need to run postmap to update the transport database to match the 
transport source file.  Without looking at your configuration (run postconf 
-n), it's hard to say, but it's probably a hash db.

Hello,

First:

Run "postmap transport" from the /usr/local/etc/postfix directory

Then, I saw one stop/start in the above, could it be yourself doing it 
or you restarted the machine? Otherwise nothing alarming...


http://www.postfix.org/
is an excellent source of information on Postfix.

1) Many ports accept and store port-specific settings through a
generic mechanism; "make config", "make showconfig", and "make
rmconfig" are the keys here.
2) If you're using portupgrade, /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.cfg
will allow you to control various settings, for a single port or a
range of ports.
3) It is possible to put port-related settings in
/etc/make.conf.  I discourage this, as that file gets used for
/every/ make session and I consider it asking for trouble to clutter
it with items that may accidentally overlap with another port.  (The
risk is very small ... but it's still not the right tool for the
job.)

I don't think many will argue, at least not loudly.
However ... many also have bad memories of 5.0, and the
grim firm desire to never let that happen again.  The Release
Engineering squad (et al.) has made changes that seem to be working;
let's keep an eye on things, but not cry "Wolf!" until we start

I have used both without any major problems. I usually run portupgrade to do
normal port upgrading; however, every so often, I run 'portmanager -u -p -l'
which seems to catch a lot of discrepancies in the builds and corrects them.
Other than that, both programs seem to work quite well. If you use portmanager,
do use the '-l' switch to force a log file. It comes in handy if something
goes wrong.

So far, our investigations here indicate, go with Vmware, but
we haven't tried with vista here yet.  At least I don't think

I'd like more readily available information as well, including
information about whether certain software will be available in new
versions -- but on the other hand, I also understand that it's not always
easy for the maintainers and release engineers to provide such
information in a timely manner.  They're volunteers, after all, and I'd
rather they focus on doing the work (and doing it right) than telling me
about every step they take.

That doesn't mean I'd object to someone stepping up and volunteering to
coordinate better collection and dissemination of information -- but I
won't complain too loudly if I don't get all the information I want right
when I want it.

I've worked on software that was over its original release estimate, too,
and I know that sometimes a new release estimate amounts to "Dunno.  When
it's done, I'll let you know."

If there's something I can do to help with making such information
available, maybe I can chip in.  I guess if someone feels I can help
somehow, they can contact me at this email address.  Otherwise, I'll just
be ecstatic with the simple fact that I get software I like eventually,
and I get *much* more information about what's going on behind the scenes
than I would if it were a typical proprietary software "product".

Wow.  I am surprised that so many have gone to the trouble, given
how many of those are proprietary and how little applicability it has.

I'm at least aware of the following Single UNIX Specification compliant
OSes:

  AIX
  Darwin[1]
  HP-UX
  MacOS X
  OpenServer
  Solaris
  Tru64 Unix
  UnixWare
  UX/4800
  z/OS

[1]: I'm guessing about Darwin, as a subset of MacOS X that contains all
the bits needed to make a complete Unix-like OS.  It may not be
officially recognized as compliant.

Not all versions of all of those are compliant, of course, but they all
have been or are currently (meaning, in some previous or current release
version) certified SUS compliant.  There are quite a few "Enterprisey"
corporate shops that put a lot of stock in SUS certification, so in terms
of widespread adoption in business environments for server
implementations, it's not something that "won't be worth anything to
anyone".  Whether or not that means it's worth anything to FreeBSD is up
for debate, I suppose.

I find myself wondering if the SUS is losing what technical value it may
have once had.  The fact that MacOS X is certified kinda makes me even
more suspicious of the value of the certification than I was already.

Of course, with the rate at which open source OSes like FreeBSD (and
other BSD Unix systems, and of course Linux distributions) progress, one
must wonder how SUS certification can even be practical in application in
the open source world.  Certification takes time and money, and would
need to be acquired anew for every release version (unless things change
in regard to how certification is applied).  That seems a little outside
the realm of reasonability.

Sounds a little like way back when 'Crest" toothpaste used to adversised
that it was the only one accepted as an effective dentifrice by the
American Dental Association (I think that was the name they used) when
they were the only ones who had ever sought the credential and essentially
made up the category themselves.   After several years some other brand
finally did it too and then they all quit using it in their advertising.

So, probably this is only meaningful as long as Apple Spotted Cat OS is

db41, db42 and db43 are they all needed

2007-10-18 Thread Tankko

After installing 6.2 and all the ports I use on a new machine, I have:

apr-db42-1.2.8_2
db41-4.1.25_4
db42-4.2.52_5

and there is db43 out there as well, probably just waiting to be installed.

db41-4.1.25_4 is used by:
portupgrade-2.3.1,2
ruby18-bdb-0.6.2

db42-4.2.52_5 is used by:
apr-db42-1.2.8_2

Which is required by subverson (I need BDB access in subversion).

Do I need all these different version of db?   I guess there is no
huge downside to having them all installed, but it doesn't seem clean
to my anal-retentive nature.

Is there a make.conf flag that will just make them all use db42 (or
db43)?  Is that wise?

Hi Lisandro,

just a quick note - use "reply to all" or whatever the equivalent feature is in 
hotmail. Right now, you've only replied to *me*, not to both me and the list. I 
have copied the list on this email, so in future just use "reply to all".

It's great that you're keeping the ports tree up to date. Are you also running 
a portupgrade regularly? If so, great, if not:

portupgrade -a

Make *sure* that you read /usr/ports/UPDATING *before* running the portupgrade 
and follow any relevant instructions.

If you're portupgrading regularly, are you trimming leaf ports regularly? If 
so, great. If not, someone else will have to recommend a best way to clean leaf 
ports.

-

If you're doing all this, try out:

pkg_info -Ix evolution-data-server

This will output a package and its version number. Now try:

portupgrade -rf 

This forces a recursive upgrade of that package.

Opening a file is just an example. I want to be able to make any system call

I think the problem may relate to how FreeBSD handles the stack.  Try 
pushing an extra word, anything will do, before making the int 80.  Let 
us know if that makes it work and I'll point to a link that explains it.

Now that I have reread what I wrote, it seems a bit unclear. I have not

elegant way to update ports when  it is required to. Are there more 
concerns about one updater over the other? Maybe this is a moot point. 
If you installed a port with some additional config args can you either 
supply them the upgrade program or can it be reread from the previous 
install somehow? I really am just trying to find a relatively simple way 
to make sure that a port gets upgraded and that I do not lose any of it 
dependencies in the process.

Can't find much wrong with DNS:

FYI: I had dnsbl enabled (which worked fine for the past couple years on
this server), but disabled that too, and still no luck.

I guess I'd ask why you want to use syscall at all to just open a file?  I 
thought you wanted to access some hardware and had no other way to do that.

I just discovered pkg_which.

I'm thinking I can use this to solve my (still haven't worked on)

RE: Evolution-data-server compiling errors.

2007-10-18 Thread James

Hi Lisandro,

just a quick note - use "reply to all" or whatever the equivalent
feature is in hotmail. Right now, you've only replied to *me*, not to
both me and the list. I have copied the list on this email, so in future
just use "reply to all".

It's great that you're keeping the ports tree up to date. Are you also
running a portupgrade regularly? If so, great, if not:

portupgrade -a

Make *sure* that you read /usr/ports/UPDATING *before* running the
portupgrade and follow any relevant instructions.

If you're portupgrading regularly, are you trimming leaf ports
regularly? If so, great. If not, someone else will have to recommend a
best way to clean leaf ports.

-

If you're doing all this, try out:
pkg_info -Ix evolution-data-server

This will output a package and its version number. Now try:

portupgrade -rf 

This forces a recursive upgrade of that package.

SCO has never owned the UNIX trademark.  The current owner of is The Open
Group, and they are indeed the ones that certify products as being officialy
'UNIX'.

MacOS X is partly based on FreeBSD, but they have also taken code from
several other places, as well as made a whole lot of changes themselves.
That MacOS X is UNIX-certifified says very little about how well FreeBSD
will do in that regard.

My recommendation is the Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter.
( 
http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro1000pt_desktop_adapter.htm
 )

I have one of those myself.  It is a PCI-E x1 card, and works just fine with
6-STABLE using the em(4) driver.  (I don't remember exactly when support for
it was added to FreeBSD so I am not sure if it was supported in 6.2-RELEASE
too, but I think it was.)

Just about all other of Intel's PCI-E cards should also work fine with
6-STABLE, but I do not have any personal experience with any of those.

Still broken; I disabled IPv6 in my cf's, and sendmail doesn't even try
to listen on IPv6 now when I restart it.
I don't think it did anyway before, it was just trying to but I don't
have IPv6 in my stack since I disable it in the kernel config, so it
just ignored ipv6 after startup.

I think something else is going on. The weird thing is that it's just
certain mail hosts that it's rejecting.


Check the DNS forward and reverse of the rejected hosts.  It may be a DNS 
issue.

Try this:

# makemap hash aliases < aliases

Then post to this list output from:

# ls -la | grep aliases

If the timestamp of aliases.db had not been updated, post output to the
list from:

I'd much rather that a RELEASE version is as stable as it can reasonably
be made than that it arrives "on time".  Seriously.  As far as I'm
concerned, take as long as you must to make it as stable as you can.
Sooner is better, all else being equal, but if stability is sacrificed in
any way then all else isn't equal.

New versions should fix things and provide updated functionality, not
just meet a schedule.  It's not like some kind of sales quota needs to be
met.

Are you using any security features for sendmail such as smrsh?  If so,
you may want to confirm that /usr/sbin/mailwrapper (which *should* be
what the newaliases virtually links to) is in /usr/libexec/sm.bin.

There was a thread on this a month or 3 ago;  might want to check the archives. 
 I think the consensus came down to something like:  The certification is

You might also (if you're in a little more of a hurry and taking the
computer out of production for a little bit isn't a problem) boot from a
LiveCD, mount all partitions from your hard drive so they're available
from the LiveCD OS, then updatedb and locate sploger so you're using
tools that haven't been compromised.  Even if it's not actually quicker,
it should *seem* quicker than using grep -- and if grep doesn't work,
this is more likely to work.

In the future, you may want to think about using some kind of integrity
auditing tool to periodically check for unauthorized changes.  Tripwire
is the canonical integrity auditing tool, but you can also use mtree and
even rsync for integrity auditing.

Two questions about UNIX(r) certification.

I recently noticed that Apple's new OS, Leopard, is Unix certified.

I'd imagine that the big reason that FreeBSD hasn't done this yet is: It 
costs a lot of money.


That said, if in theory one were to try to get the operating system

newaliases is a command you run to update the alias database.

Rebooting will not automatically run newaliases, unless someone has
written a custom startup script for you server.  I would consider
running newaliases at every startup A Bad Idea(tm).

Gigabit ethernet with PCIe x1 interface

2007-10-18 Thread Kent Hauser

Hi,

I'm trying to find a gigabit ethernet card that is supported by 6.2 or
6-STABLE. The em(4) says it supports the intel 82573 chip, but no supported
cards are listed.

Is there a recommended card? The ethernet section of the supported hardware
doesn't list card by interface, and all the ones I see are PCI not PCIe.

Thanks for the help.

It must be a local program trying to connect to ident.
Probably nothing to worry about. I would check which is
this program though. If that's the only message you get
you must be protected, at least packet_filtering-wise.

I think log_in_vain can be used when configuring a firewall.
Just to see quickly if your firewall works as expected and
then turn it off. Otherwise it is just going to create tons
of irrelevant log messages.

Re: postfix problem

2007-10-18 Thread Kurt Buff

Let's try that again, shall we?

In main.cf, what do the following lines say?

mydomain =
myorigin =
mynetworks =
mydestination =

Fixing these will likely fix your problem. My postfix box is a mail
gateway to our Exchange server, and my main.cf say these things:

mydomain = mycompany.com
myorigin = $mydomain
mynetworks = [list of IP addresses of internal servers allowed to
relay though this box]
mydestination = [null, because I don't host accounts on this box]

If you're still having problems after doing this, I suggest either
getting The Book Of Postfix (ISBN 1593270011 - www.bookpool.com is my
favorite source for technical books) and perusing that, or subscribing
to the postfix list - they're quite helpful.

Check the man page:

  relative  to  the source path specified to mkisofs. [...]
