Re: Need to re-generate the passwords in /etc/passwd
Hi Oliver, Olivier Nicole wrote: How do I use the above script for my machine which I access remotely by SSH. Yuck. I could email you a list of 1000 random strings? I could send it to you as Perl script, so you could generate 500 passwords in one run, or you call the web page enough number of times. That will be great! So I just run the script against /etc/passwd and presto, all the users in that file will be generated new passwords. I will need a way to pass the newly generated passwords to individuals users. No, the script only generates random strings, you would have to apply these strings to the accounts. The idea would be to make a file with a list of user name and new password, then use this file to feed to a script that force the new password. You have to keep that file in clear text, there is no way you can retreive the new opassword after you have applied it to a user account. Ok I get it. I will follow it up according to your methods.

IPv6 address persistent configuration thru ifconfig
Hi, In host implementation, if I manually configure global ipv6 address via ifconfig command then those addresses are not persistent after making the interface DOWN and again UP, which is not the case for IPv4 addresses.

Re: bind: Can't assign requested address using ssh (or anything else) -- resolution
$ ssh -X -N -L 127.0.0.3:13390:192.168.1.44:3390 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: bind: Can't assign requested address channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 13390 Could not request local forwarding. Ofcourse it fails, you are trying to bind to address 127.0.0.3, however there is no such address assigned to a local network interface. Either: You don't explain what this 127.0.0.3 is. This does it. 2) ifconfig lo0 add 127.3/32 Thanks for responding! The vpn software I need to use requires me to configure and bind a VPN connection from 127.0.0.x:port to the loopback. It is a handy way of grabbing an entirely unique IP that doesn't collide with whatever network you're on. Of course, it probably isn't the best idea if a bunch of different apps start to pull stuff like this -- but I wasn't the brainiac that came up with this idea. Anyway, it seems to be a fairly common way of doing this, so I'm explaining in detail to benefit future searches. Some methods (SSH) allow me to manually select the IP/port, so for my example I use it. Others (Juniper Networks) just go and pick the IP for me, and can assign any number of connections depending upon configuration. In a Windows world, since there're no controls and stupid things are allowed to happen, the IP address/port assignment is done on the fly, and you then have to view the active VPN connections to figure out what IP address/port are in use. With a real OS, privileged things like this need to be done by a privileged user before the client can assign to it. Since they don't change without human intervention (the number is permanent based upon the order they load -- 127.2, 127.3, etc.) and are assigned in a logical fashion, I should be able to bind the new addresses that it will use to lo0 and it should Just Work. And it does. tsclient can now load and get me onto the Windows Server I need to control. It's a hollow victory -- I feel so *dirty* when I work with Windows, but I have to if I want to get paid... The Juniper Network client info: ===setup information RDP Direct option: Remote Server: WINS server name Client Port: 33890 Server Port: 3389 == Restarted the Secure Application manager. =error info=== In the Secure Application Manager Window, when I click on the Details Tab.

RE: 3Ware 9650SE with 4 disk array
Hi, We've received a server containing 3Ware 9650SE controller with 4 ports and it comes with 4 WD7500AYYS drives with the following drive parameters of LBA 1465149168 (sectors?). I'm using FBSD 7.0 RC-1 which provides the necessary drivers for that controller card. The array is created using RAID5. The problem arises when I fdisk the drive array. The sysinstall installation routine complains that the drive parameters provided by the BIOS is incorrect. When I ask to see the drive info using fdisk, I am given the following information: # fdisk parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=273542 heads=255 sectors/tracks=63 (16065 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from BIOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 88484871 (48576 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 165/ sector 59 The data for partition 2 is: UNUSED The data for partition 3 is: UNUSED The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED # I see that when I am finished setting up the drive array, I am getting a much smaller use of the entire array. Using the Auto Defaults option inside bsdlabel, I end up with /dev/da0s1f (/usr) in the range of 40 GB. I should be seeing something in the order of 2 TB. I've tried fdisking and bsdlabeling for 2 Tb to no avail several times. What am I doing wrong? Turns out the disk array had a partition set up for 2048 GB which FBSD 7.0 RC-1 doesn't support. Auto-carving the array to 2047 GB did the trick. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Xorg config
Newbie question here. I've followed the installation instructions in the book FreeBSD 6 Unleashed and (finally) gotten it installed. Now I proceed to the setting up of X, where the book says to log in as root, and type Xorg -configure . I do that and get a response something like Xorg command not known. During the installation, I selected Install it all including X. This is version 6.3 by the way. And this is about the 3rd or 4th attempt at installation on this HDD. Some help would be appreciated. By the way, after each of the first couple attempts at installation,during which I'd set up a separate /boot partition, I couldn't get FreeBSD to boot from the HDD. The book had no caution about not using a separate /boot partition, but that's what I found to be causing the problem. I installed again but without a separate /boot partition, and can now boot from the HDD.

If you perform the standard install + X, it is missing several parts of xorg, most obvious one is xorg-drivers. The solution is not really to install just xorg-drivers by hand (you will just find you are missing other X-related packages afterwards) but installing the entire xorg-7.3 metapackage. This can be done during the initial installation, when asked whether you would like to browse the package collection, answer yes, then find from the list the xorg-7.3 package (I believe it is in category x11) and install it. This will pull all other required dependencies. It seems the standard installation + X only installs the xorg-server package (x11-server) which is simply not enough, since xorg is now modular.

Someone just reported a geometry size reporting error with the new PERC/6 that Dell is pushing, so stick with PERC/5. My personal recommendation is to use em(4) and disable onboard Broadcom and forget that Dell ever started shipping Broadcom. ~BAS As stupid as this is going to sound, I solved my dump problem on one of my 2950s running amd64 7.0 with two dual core processors. The problem was when I did a level 0 dump, regardless of partition. At random times the dump would halt, never to resume. Restarting the dump was a hit-and-miss as to whether it would succeed. Eventually the dump would succeed but it might tape 20 attempts to dump /var, for example. The problem was solved this stupid way: Have some other disk activity on the dumping partition. For example, if I am dumping /var I repeatedly execute this command: ls -lR /var /dev/null Did you disable the randomly schedule a RAID parity check of random sectors feature in the PERC5 BIOS? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[EMAIL PROTECTED] which Xorg /usr/local/bin/Xorg [EMAIL PROTECTED] pkg_info -W /usr/local/bin/Xorg /usr/local/bin/Xorg was installed by package xorg-server-1.4_3,1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] pkg_info -do xorg-server-1.4_3,1 Information for xorg-server-1.4_3,1: Description: This package contains the X.Org X server and some associated programs. WWW: http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/xorg - Eric Anholt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Origin: x11-servers/xorg-server [EMAIL PROTECTED] What I'm doing is trying to see which package the file 'Xorg' belongs to, and I'm trying to get some information about that package. What I found out is that the file in question belongs to the package xorg-server-1.4_3,1, and that if you have the ports tree installed, the ports directory would be /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server/. So if you want to check to see if the package which provides the file 'Xorg' is installed on your system, issue the command 'pkg_info | grep xorg-server'. If you see output then the package you need is already installed. Otherwise install the package 'xorg-server' in one of two ways: either install the pre-built binary [port] by issuing the command 'pkg_add -r xorg-server' or build the port from source by going to /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server/ and doing a 'make install clean'. I don't know why you didn't succeed in installing 'xorg-server' during your installation if that was indeed your intent. Instead of taking my advice above you really ought to read the Handbook section on packages and ports: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html You can learn a lot and the documentation if really excellent. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: mfsbsd
Anyone used mfsbsd to do remote install of a dedicated server with success? Summary: A dedicated server has FreeBSD 6.x running with / as the entire partition of the entire disk. Hoping to find a solution to do reinstall remotely. it is already running freebsd? no need any extra tool to reinstall it. Are you implying to reinstall via sysinstall with new created slices with proper labels over ssh?

Re: Xorg config
I don't know why you didn't succeed in installing 'xorg-server' during your installation if that was indeed your intent. Read the Handbook section on installing X if you want to try installing or configuring X post-install: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html Actually according to the handbook the package you want to have on your system is 'xorg', which can be found in /usr/ports/x11/xorg/ in case you want to build from source. But this package probably in turn depends on 'xorg-server', so your 'Xorg' file which is part of 'xorg-server' should be installed once you install the 'xorg' package. 'pkg_add -r xorg' or 'make install clean' from /usr/ports/x11/xorg/. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
