A good, general rule of thumb for backing up a system is: /etc /usr/local/etc /home /var /var is the wildcard here ... /etc and /usr/local/etc are generally very small. /home can be huge, but if it is, it's probably because there is a lot of important data there. But /var can be large with a lot of stuff that you may not want to back up. Do you need /var/log, for example? Frankly, if you have enough space to back up, I recommend you back up the entire system and restore selectively. Do you have, for example, a database in /usr/local/pgsql?

You might as well save the whole /etc, you will probably need other conf files and surely you would like to have /etc/passwd and /etc/group In fact, I would also backup the whole /usr/local/etc to get all the configuration settings for my services and so on. A good, general rule of thumb for backing up a system is: /etc /usr/local/etc /home /var /var is the wildcard here ... /etc and /usr/local/etc are generally very small. /home can be huge, but if it is, it's probably because there is a lot of important data there. But /var can be large with a lot of stuff that you may not want to back up. Do you need /var/log, for example? Frankly, if you have enough space to back up, I recommend you back up the entire system and restore selectively. Do you have, for example, a database in /usr/local/pgsql? If you're asking this question, you're probably better off safe than sorry. I do not have any databases servers on the machine. In fact, it hosts only a cvs repository and a web server and I have already backed them up. I was only unsure how to proceed with the users backup.

Re: How to backup the users
Ivan Rambius Ivanov wrote: I was only unsure how to proceed with the users backup. If users are the only thing you wish to back up: /home /etc/group /etc/master.passwd You can backup system files (/etc, /usr/local/etc, /var) if you want but that's another topic. Some hints: 1. Check if there are users who have their home-dir outside /home... 2. Check /tmp to see if users have files there (they shouldn't count on those being preserved, that's not what /tmp is for, but you might want to offer a little bit of extra service by doing this anyway) 3. There might be slight differences between the current /etc/group and /etc/master.passwd and the ones on the new system. So, instead of blindly copying the old ones onto the new system, I suggest you add the relevant entries in the old files to the new files by hand (or script). 4. If you copy the encrypted passwords, then users don't need to set a new password after you've reinstalled the system. 5. Keep track of UIDs/GIDs: you might need to do some chowning to give everybody their files back if their (numerical) UIDs/GIDs have changed. 6. If you don't need to repartition your disks, it might be an option to just leave /home alone during the reinstall (set the newfs flag to N). That leaves /home untouched and you can just mount it afterwards.

Outgoing FTP connections with pf and ftp-proxy
Hi list,
I'm trying to get outgoing FTP sessions to work with pf and
ftp/ftp-proxy in a NAT environment.
My simple config on a test machine looks like this:
--
int_if = rl0
localnet = 192.168.0.0/24
tcp_services = { ssh, domain, www, https, ftp }
udp_services = { domain }
nat on $int_if from $localnet to any - ($int_if)
rdr pass proto tcp from any to any port ftp - 127.0.0.1 port 8021
block all
pass from $localnet to any keep state
pass proto udp to any port $udp_services keep state
pass out proto tcp to any port $tcp_services keep state
pass in proto tcp from any to any user proxy keep state
pass in proto tcp from any to any port ssh keep state
--
FTP login works fine. But if I want to do a ls on the FTP server I get
the following error on the client (no matter if NAT client or gateway):
425 Failed to establish connection.
Any idea whats wrong with my setup?
Thanks,
Matthias

If it comes to it, you can uninstall all your X-related ports and do a clean install of Xorg 7.3 - it'll take a while, but it will get the job done.

Try running the mergebase.sh script at /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh. My guess is that in the past you began the upgrade path from 6.9 to 7.x but didn't quite finish the procedure (note that is very much a guess). You should probably read through the script before you run it, just in case your system isn't set up as it expects. So I guess I'm gonna do a clean install of all of Xbut can you tell me which packages I should remove exactly? Depends very much on what you have installed - pkg_info(1)'s -r and -R options will help you to build up an overview of what you need to remove/update, if mergebase doesn't work. It's a good idea to save a list of currently-installed ports to refer to in the event this all goes *pop*. Good luck!

Aloha Matthias,
I am having the same ftp problem on servers that are on an ATM 5 IP
circuit. There is no NAT involved with one of these. The outbound FTP
goes out but I cant get the files to list when I go inbound from
outside on an recognized IP.
SSH on the same box works fine.
It would make my day to get this working.

I do use BSD make and not GNU make, but your examples gave me a hint
what I should search on google and I found the exact syntax:
FPCVERSION!=make -f ${PORTSDIR}/lang/fpc/Makefile -V PORTVERSION
The assignment is done by the bang equals sign != and I found it

Yes, you should either set up working DNS for all of your machines which
send email (if you control the DNS for thought.org, consider using DynDNS
or equivalent so that tao.thought.org is resolvable) or (depending on
whether you have administrative control over the destination SMART_HOST
mailserver) look into the access map:
http://www.sendmail.org/m4/anti_spam.html#access_db
...or, failing that, enabling these with caution:
accept_unresolvable_domains
Normally, MAIL FROM: commands in the SMTP session will be
refused if the host part of the argument to MAIL FROM:
cannot be located in the host name service (e.g., an A or
MX record in DNS). If you are inside a firewall that has
only a limited view of the Internet host name space, this
could cause problems. In this case you probably want to
use this feature to accept all domains on input, even if
they are unresolvable.
Well, it looks as tho the remote hosts (like magnesium.net)
are rejecting my mail. I was wrong a couple days ago when Isaid that
MASQUERADE_AS() and FEATURE() were successfuly rewriting my
envelope. Further tests ptoved that. And while it's easy enough to ssh
over
here (aristotle) and run mutt, U'd rather figure out the mutt/imap
opttions as the mutt manual deetails. I haave control of the
entire ``thought.org'' dmain. The complications are that my DNS
records may not be correctly configured. Also that my nice,
new, bulletproof firewall may be an issue, altho I doubr it.
relay_entire_domain
This option allows any host in your domain as defined by
class {m} to use your server for relaying. Notice: make
sure that your domain is not just a top level domain,
e.g., com. This can happen if you give your host a name
like example.com instead of host.example.com.
You can also define your local host name (aka class w) to be something
which the other machine can resolve. By the way, an excerpt from the mail
logs (/var/log/mail.log) are the best source of info for relaying issues,
although it is possible to figure out some of the issues from a stuck
message in the spool.
My network looks llike this:
INTERNET - Firewall -
sage [ which runs one jail with DNS, web, and mail ]
sage feeds my desktops, one laptop, and other Windows
computers.
For reasons that are beyond me, working on desktop tao and
going thru aristotle's IMAP service, the FROM remains
``tao.thought.org'' when mail goes out the wire. Ionly have
one sendmail now--on aristotle--and that was where I put the
MASQUERADE_AS/FEATURE lines. How/why sendmail isn't dooing this
is beyond me.
It's also possible that if you set your SMART_HOST to your ISP's
mailserver, and configure authentication with them, they will let you relay
even if your mail submission is using local/invalid DNS hostnames.
I think that *I* am my SMART_HOST! This, according to my ISP
who doesn't seem eager to deal with my configs. Better, IMO,
to figure out this confusion and get this working at my end.
I'll try to define local host names (class w); see if that
helps.

That's interesting, but the *installed* copy of devel/fpc-fcl-base may
be older than the available version in `/usr/ports'. Many programs
install an `xxx-config' script too, which can be queried at runtime,
i.e.:
$ net-snmp-config --version
5.3.1
This runs from ${LOCALBASE} and it is *always* the same as the installed
version of the net-snmp port.
Maybe a similar script can be added to the devel/fpc-fcl-base port, if
one is not already part of it?
In a similar vein, the editors/emacs* ports support installing
extensions in multiple subdirs of ${LOCALBASE} by switching make
variables depending on the value of ${EMACS_PORT_NAME}.
It's probably more work to make devel/fpc-fcl-base tunable like this,
but it is going to be safer than assuming that the /usr/ports/lang/fpc
version is actually the same as the installed version. This assumption
is only true until the next CVSup of the ports tree, or until portsnap
fetches a newer version of lang/fpc.
I'm *not* a ports hacker, so some of the above may be false and all of
it should be taken with a grain of salt, but I'm sure our freebsd-ports
guys can help :) It's definitely worth asking them for the best way to
implement something like this.

Thank you very much! When I want to revert it, will it suffice to type: export FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=false unset FTP_PASSIVE_MODE will unset the variable.

Huawei 3g Modem
Hello, i have a Huawei EC-325 Modem which is connected to my Computer running FreeBSD 6.3 with a mini-USB Cable, and supposedly is supported by the ubsa driver, as described here http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ubsasektion=4manpath=FreeBSD+6.3-RELEASE . I modified my /boot/loader.conf to yield the following: ubsa_load=YES ucom_load=YES After rebooting, kldstat shows the above modules loaded. When i re-insert my Huawei Modem, dmesg displays: ucom0: Huawei Technologies Huawei Mobile, rev 1.01/0.00, addr 2 My ppp.conf looks like this: default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE) set device /dev/cuaU0 set speed 230400 set dial ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \ \\ AT OK-AT-OK ATFE0V1X1D2C1S0=0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT set timeout 180# 3 minute idle timer (the default) enable dns # request DNS info (for resolv.conf) three: set phone \#77 set authname card set authkey card disable ipv6cp set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR But when i run ppp -ddial three , ppp.log reports this output: Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: Phase: Using interface: tun0 Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: Phase: deflink: Created in closed state Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: tun0: Command: default: ident user- ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE) Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: tun0: Command: default: set device / dev/cuaU0 Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: tun0: Command: default: set speed 230400 Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: tun0: Command: default: set dial ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5AT OK-AT-OK ATFE0V1X1D2C1S0=0 OK \dATDT\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: tun0: Command: default: set timeout 180 Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: tun0: Command: default: enable dns Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: tun0: Command: three: set phone #77 Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: tun0: Command: three: set authname card Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: tun0: Command: three: set authkey Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: tun0: Command: three: disable ipv6cp Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: tun0: Command: three: set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[824]: tun0: Command: three: add default HISADDR Jan 28 15:32:57 testbed ppp[825]: tun0: Phase: PPP Started (ddial mode).
