Re: Blocking undesirable domains using BIND
Hi, the guys seem to have some humour: Linux/Unix/Mac OSX Remove the extension and save this to your /etc directory. Considering unix is a server-based OS with a complex permission structure you'll probably want to just append your hosts file instead of overwriting it. OSX can use the hosts file, but copying it to /etc isn't enough. When finished please empty out your cache and restart your browser or reboot your computer.

Dovecot login and account issues
Ok, there's something apparently not quite right in my understanding. I have
the following log entries in /var/log/maillog for a login attempt by a
virtual user into my new dovecot system:
Dec 28 17:48:07 whitbap dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=,
method=PLAIN, rip=71.221.173.206, lip=192.168.2.23
Dec 28 17:48:07 whitbap dovecot: POP3(jdunkin):
mkdir_parents(/var/mail/vmail//mail) failed: Not a directory
Dec 28 17:48:07 whitbap dovecot: POP3(jdunkin): Failed to create storage with
data: mbox:/var/mail/vmail//mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/jdunkin
Dec 28 17:48:07 whitbap dovecot: child 34067 (pop3) returned error 89
Dec 28 17:48:52 whitbap dovecot: POP3(jdunkin):
mkdir_parents(/var/mail/vmail//mail) failed: Not a directory
Dec 28 17:48:52 whitbap dovecot: POP3(jdunkin): Failed to create storage with
data: mbox:/var/mail/vmail//mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/jdunkin
Dec 28 17:48:52 whitbap dovecot: child 34070 (pop3) returned error 89
Now, in my /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf file I have this:
mail_location = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
Which seems to be correct. Why then is dovecot trying to make a mail
directory in /var/mail/vmail? (vmail is the virtual user.)
Also, please assist in my understanding of this one. I currently have (in
dovecot.conf):
auto default {
mechanisms = plain digest-md5
# there is much other stuff here, I'm only adding what isn't commented
# hope it's relative
passdb sql {
# Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql-example.conf
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf
}
userdb sql {
# Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql-example.conf
args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf
}
user = vmail
}
What is the difference between digest-md5 and cram-md5? I've read a little
bit about digest md5 from the dovecot wiki and it looks like the digest is
supposed to be of a string like this (using one of my virtual users):
md5 -s [EMAIL PROTECTED]::pass
Is this true? If so, when the users login, they'll send <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> as
the user id?
If this isn't true (and this is how I currently have it configured), I simply
made a hash as follows:
md5 -s
And then inserted into my postgresql database a string in this format:
{PLAIN-MD5}
This isn't working so what did I do wrong?
Any help on resolving these two issues is greatly appreciated.
Andy

it happens with me too. the problem is in the
module sound-oss in the pwlib
the module that deals with oss (the freebsd sound system...)
tries to resample the stream and than loops... consuming all the cpu.
the folowing patch solves the problem for me
name this file to patch-oss and put it in /usr/ports/devel/pwlib/files
and than... cd /usr/ports/devel/pwlib

mixing uart and sio

Those you've tried have been the modern desktop-oriented distributions of FreeBSD and they of course don't shoot for the older class of systems. Unix has resisted bloat For example, I've put a smaller OpenBSD build on my Soekris that I run for a firewall on my cable connection. Fits in 22 MB: # df -h Filesystem SizeUsed Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 236M 22.1M202M10%/ Granted your desktop build will be plenty larger, but 300 MB is certainly achievable. Follow the advice for a minimal installation of the vanilla FreeBSD 6.x or 7 + whatever packages you need and you'll be rolling. You can find similar options in any of the BSDs and GNU/Linux.

Ok, if I may run this by you, I've made a user id for this virtual mail stuff,
the virtual mail user is "vmail." Yes I know, very inventive. The users
home directory is /usr/home/vmail, but I'm thinking that what dovecot cares
about is where mail is stored. In this case, I'm pretty sure
it's /var/mail/vmail.
I've followed the instructions in http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/SQL and
created the table as defined on this page. If my understaning is correct,
this field will contain the entry "/var/mail/vmail," correct? Further, if
I'm following, dovecot somehow delivers all mails to this virtual user and
somehow categorizes them according to the virtual users? Does this sound
correct?
I wonder, sometimes attachments get large, if I'm anywhere near correct, I
wonder if I should use a directory under /usr instead of /var?

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]"
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.

I was trying to do something similar. I didn't research too hard, but figured the only way to use Bind would be to make my server authoritative for all those domains, which meant a huge config file and potential overhead, as well as possibly breaking access to desirable servers in the domains. So hosts seemed easier, but apparently Bind never looks at hosts. I did find that Squid (which I already had installed and in limited use) has its own DNS resolver, and it does look at hosts first before going to the nameserver. Then I found this site: http://everythingisnt.com/hosts.html and put their list in hosts, and now client PCs get a squid error in place of ad junk.

My 17000+ zones are loaded from the DNS-BH project and increase the startup time of named to about 10 seconds and bump the resident memory size up to about 55M. (AMD Duron 750MHz). There's no real performance hit per se by DNS blackholing, other than the resource utilization increase needed for handling additional zones; your name server would normally be handling these DNS lookups anyway.You're just overriding the response locally rather than recursing for it. The zones themselves typically end up being very small, like a single wildcard record pointing to 127.0.0.1 or a honeypot or whatever.

recommendations: new graphics card
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
I am running 8-current amd64 on a e6850 with 4 GB of RAM and currently
have a nvidia 5200 GT. Well I have a $100 gift card for amazon and
decided to use it to get a new video card. I also run vista and
occasionally a live cd for linux but I spend 90+% of my time in
freebsd. My main use of the machine is (java) development, light
office apps, maintaining my companies web site and light gaming (the
only thing I use vista for) [currently c&c 3 but I want to try some
newer things {I never play first person shooters}]. I have never
used anything except nvidia cards but in seeing that the closed source

You do, but deleting by rule number/s is the only way. ipfw(8):
ipfw [-q] {delete | zero | resetlog} [set] [number ...]
Of course Noah could find rule number/s to delete with something like
# ipfw delete `ipfw list | grep $somestring | awk '{print $1}'`
if he was, um, courageous :) Safer tested first with ipfw show ..

RE: Changing boot partition - ACCOMPLISHED, now INIT problem :(
Hi all, Thanks on all your hints; it helped me comprehending my problem. I accomplished the restore of a wrecked machine only with a .tar backup from it. The recipe is a little tricky. I installed a minimum FreeBSD on a new machine, during sysintall I created 2 slices (one ad1s1 to the minimum SO and swap and another slice ad1s2 to restore the backup) I set the second slice as bootable (option S in FDISK). Then I created the partitions on the first slice and installed the minimum SO (ad1s1a and ad1s1b for swap). After booting to it with F1 I created the new file system with newfs and mounted in rw mode (ad1s2a). Restored the tar backup to it and changed the FSTAB to the new reality (used the initial swap created on the minimum SO ad1s1b and the new partition as / ad1s2a ). Rebooted and voila it was booting the old FreeBSD SO. Still after probing the hardware (CDROM, FXP0, etc ) It showed me this repeated error: 23:29:19 init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port ... 23:29:19 init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port ... 23:29:19 init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port ... 23:29:19 init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port ... 23:29:19 init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port ... 23:29:19 init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port ... . I though it was something related with the console, so I rebooted to the initial SO with F1, mounted the partition o see /boot and renamed boot.config Did another reboot and booted to F2 but the problem persists. Do you guys have any clue what might this be and how can I solve it? Is it something related with kernel stuff? I have access to the contents of it if I boot through the minimum SO (F1) Thanks for helping this newbie Best regards to you all Nuno -Original Message- From: Aryeh M.

RE: Changing boot partition ACCOMPLISHED, now INIT problem
Hi all, Thanks on all your hints. I accomplished booting to another partition with a backup from the machine that was all wrecked. It was a little tricky. I installed a minimum FreeBSD and created a second slice to restore the other FreeBSD SO and make it bootable. Then I created the filesystem, mounted it and restored the backup to that partition. Afterwards I changed the FSTAB file to reflect the new reality (the partitions are now different) and did a reboot! And voilá, when I pressed F2 key on boot manager It started to boot the FreeBSD of the wrecked machine :) Still after probing all the hardware (CDROM, Ethernet boards fxp0, etc) It showed me the following message: 23:29:19 init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port ... 23:29:19 init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port ... -Original Message- From: Aryeh M.

buildkernel with INVARIANTS, WITNESS, DEBUG_LOCKS, etc. fails
Hello FreeBSD developers, Building a FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE kernel on an Intel Pentium 4 with the following config options causes buildkernel to fail with undefined references to stack_save, stack_zero, and stack_print functions: makeoptions DEBUG=-g options INVARIANTS options INVARIANT_SUPPORT options WITNESS options DEBUG_LOCKS options DEBUG_VFS_LOCKS options DIAGNOSTIC Am I just omitting an option that causes this code to be linked correctly, or alternatively is there a workaround for this? I followed the instructions from the following developers handbook page on debugging deadlocks: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-deadlocks.html Below I have included as much information as I can think of that would be relevant to this problem.

Re: Hosting Server Load
Very much depends. Load ave is a measure of the number of processes waiting for resource (CPU, Network, disk etc). Ie a rough measure of how 'busy' the server is. I've seem modern kit with load averages of over 30 with no problems with responsiveness at all. It's all down to what the processes are actually doing rather than how 'busy' the machine is. -- martin On Dec 27, 2007 4:33 PM, Grant Peel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > Just wondering what kind of load most hosters consider reasonable. > > (1 min, 5 min, and 15 min average loads). > > -Grant > ___ > 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]"

The symptoms your describing are classic for PIO/UDMA negotiation issues. In other words, the connection from the atapi controller to the optical drive is being negotiated by BIOS as UDMA and negotiated by the FreeBSD boot kernel as UDMA but a bug somewhere is causing the bus to corrupt data. The usual fix is to switch to PIO mode. The only problem with this is that you have already swapped optical drives, and I'd assume that at least one of the swaps didn't support UDMA mode (thus forcing PIO mode) you also said you already checked this, and even if it did negotiate UDMA it would be UDMA33 not anything faster that would require the special high speed IDE cables so we can probably rule out a crap CDROM cable. Lastly, the default on the ata driver is supposed to be PIO mode anyway for optical drives.
