Well, I broke it! FreeBSD V8.1 release

2010-12-22 Thread Dave
Hi...

I was trying to disable the console screensaver, and found that in 
sysinstall, there is no way to select none as an option.

So I went and edited /etc/rc.conf to comment out the line:-
Saver=fire (or whatever it is)

I put a ; at the beginning of the line, and now FreeBSD wont come up, 
showing an error (unexpected ;) and leaving me with a # prompt.

How do I get to re-edit rc.conf, to correct the problem, as all command 
line commands result in a not found error.

Also.  What's the Correct way to disable a console screensaver?

Sysinstall alows you to select and enable one, but not remove it!

Bit of an oversight that I suspect

Port based VLAN

2010-12-22 Thread Indexer
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I plan to make a FreeBSD based router sometime soon. I would like to be able to 
do port based vlanning on the router, so that a client computer that plugs into 
that socket is dumb to the vlans' existance.

IE

em0 - untagged
em1 - vlan 1
em2 - vlan 2

Is what i want to achieve (as a simple example). This way i can use unmanaged 
switches on em2, and all clients behind that are to the router on vlan2 

How does one go about this on freebsd. 

Thanks

mount -u / is almost enough unless he cold-booted the computer at some

Just tell the poster that it id necessary to edit /etc/rc.conf by doing xyz.

You didn't provide much information, but probably what happened is
that your defective rc.conf caused an error when booting, and your
normal boot aborted and dropped into single-user. This typically
means that some partitions that are mounted by default during a normal
boot and that contain editors and other programs are not initially
mounted.  So probably if you did something like:

fsck -p /
mount -uw /
swapon -a
mount -a

you could then edit /etc/rc.conf with your favorite editor. Or you
could just use sed, ed, or vi from /rescue, or from the release media,
to make the necessary changes, rather than attempting to mount all
partitions.


Also.  What's the Correct way to disable a console screensaver?

Sysinstall alows you to select and enable one, but not remove it!

On the fly, you can use vidcontrol -t ...

To change the default setting, comment out or delete the  saver=...
line, or change it to

saver=NO

which is what is originally in /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

Sysinstall is only one tool you can use to install or configure the
system.  It's not necessary, and for minor changes like this, it's not
the method of choice.

Changing rc.conf is the Correct way. If you do it by hand or use some
other tool (like sysinstall) to do it does not really matter.
Putting  'saver=NO'  in rc.conf or not having and 'saver=' line
there will both do the same thing - not starting any screen saver.

Thank you Sir, it's back working again, with no screen saver.

Thank's also to others who responded, much apprecaited.

I'll be back later, now I can see the error messages that were hidden 
behind the saver when something burped, only becoming visible as the 
otherwise stalled machine shutdown on one short press of the power key..   
I just need to wait now for the trouble to manifest itself again.

mod_gnutls can do 'Server Name Indication' and mod_ssl with apache_2.2
should do it too
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34607
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revisionrevision=776281

But hoster may not use mod_gnutls or not recent version of apache, so
it may not support multiple ssl with single IP.

Obviously, you cannot have a website without an IP address.
Another strict rule is that you can only use one SSL certificate per IP 
address + PORT. This is determined by the SSL protocol, and you cannot 
do anything to change it.


But there are possibilities. You can use different SSL certificates for 
the same ip address and different port numbers:


https://your_domain_1:4430
https://your_domain_2:4431

etc. (where your_domain_1 and your_domain_2 have the same IP, and you 
have different certificates from them).


You can also use many host names with the same IP address and port 
number, but they will have to share the same SSL certificate. It is not 
a problem, if they are subdomains, and you own a wildcard certificate. 
Example:


https://sub1.yourdomain.com
https://sub2.yourdomain.com
https://sub3.yourdomain.com

etc. (where you have a wildcard certificate for *.yourdomain.com)

And finally, it is possible to use different domains and the same port, 
without wildcard certificate or subdomains, but then all connecting 
clients will complain about the problem (e.g. certificate belongs to a 
domain that differs from the one you are connecting to.) For any serious 
projects, this is not recommended. You cannot expect customers sending 
you private information on a website that cannot identify itself...


Best,

   Laszlo

It's only necessary if you want to use name based virtual hosts with a 
different SSL certificate for each virtual host. This is most likely the case 
on a shared hosting provider like godaddy.

The problem is that the clients set up the SSL connection before they send the 
HTTP request (which contains the name of the virtual host), so the server has 
no way of knowing which certificate it should present to the client.

 happy Christmas! :)

FreeBSD crashes

2010-12-22 Thread Richard Morse
Hi! A while back I wrote about some problems I was having with FreeBSD crashing 
randomly. I then disappeared for a while, due to a variety of issues, but I'm 
still having problems.

The computer in question is a general-purpose server -- it runs listservs, 
websites, databases (both MySQL and PostgreSQL), and Amanda to back up a few 
other computers. None of this is high volume -- load averages are all less than 
1.

It has two Intel Xeon processors, with a total of 16 virtual cpus. It runs 
FreeBSD 8.1, using the amd64 branch in order to access 12G of RAM. It has an 
Adaptec 5805 RAID card, and is using the Adaptec aac driver 2.2.9-17911 (which 
is also the flashed BIOS version), and has one array, which is a RAID 10 array. 
Note that I'm not using the aacu driver, but most of the crashes happened when 
I was.

Based on the randomness of the crashes, I suspect that it's a hardware problem. 
I have tried to enable core dumps, but it has never succeeded in actually 
writing one out -- it looks like it has a second crash when it tries to save 
the core. This leads me to suspect that it might be a problem with the RAID 
card, but I'm not sure.

Is there some way that I can use the information provided during the kernel 
panics to determine where the problem is? I have photographs of almost all of 
them. There are a few crashes that didn't result in kernel panics; instead 
there were a few gibberish characters (from the 128 ASCII codes) on the 
screen. I have pictures of these as well.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Ricky

To encrypt, something like:

   openssl enc -e -des -in plaintext.txt -a -out encrypted.asc

Decrypt like so:

   openssl enc -d -dex -in encrypted.asc -a -out plaintext.txt

Note: completely untested.  You may well need to supply various extra
arguments to make it all work.  See 'openssl enc help' for hints.

Note 2: DES is pretty trivial to crack nowadays.  Don't use this for
anything serious.  You can encrypt using AES or any of a host of other
ciphers by using a very similar openssl command line.

Note 3: If you're actually after DES encrypted passwords, then see
crypt(3).  From the commandline you can use the Perl crypt function:
'perldoc -f crypt' for details.

Matthew

 in /etc/rc.conf and other system config files as they typically use
 BASH style structs.

If you want to insert a really long comment block:

:  IMPORTANT

 mumble bla bla bla ...

IMPORTANT

You can pretty much put anything you want between the:
:  IMPORTANT
and
IMPORTANT

tags. You don't have to use IMPORTANT either. It works with
Bash; however, I am unsure of how it works with other shells. Unless
you have a really long comment block, I think the # syntax is easier
to use. Plus, I don't know if it would even work in an rc file.

  How does one go about this on freebsd.
 

 In /etc/rc.conf:

 ifconfig_em1=up -vlanhwtag # You may or may not want hwtag -- try both
 vlans_em1=vlan1
 ifconfig_em2='up -vlanhwtag
 vlans_em2=vlan2

 create_args_vlan1=vlan 1

 create_args_vlan2=vlan 2

 The em0 i/f should be configured as usual.  This will create virtual
 interfaces vlan1 and vlan2 which you can apply firewall rules to etc.

I do this exact thing, where a single server port attaches to the switch as
a trunk and carries multiple VLANS which are in-turn firewalled and routed
amongst one another, my rc.conf (the pertinent parts anyways) looks like
this:

gateway_enable=YES

ifconfig_em0=up
ifconfig_vlan1=up
ifconfig_vlan190=inet X.X.190.1/28 vlan 190 vlandev em0

ifconfig_vlan200=inet 10.0.2.254/24 vlan 200 vlandev em0

ifconfig_vlan400=inet 10.0.4.1/28 vlan 4 vlandev em0
firewall_enable=YES

Within my rc.firewall, the interfaces are vlan1, vlan190, vlan100, etc...
the system sees each as if it were physically a different network card and
I'm able to route/filter traffic as such. Note: I did have to add vlan
support in my kernel for this, I'm using Intel 1000MT 1000BaseSX (fiber)
card to a Cisco Catalyst 2948 which in turn connects on the other side as a

 Subject: Well, I broke it!   FreeBSD V8.1 release

 Hi...

 I was trying to disable the console screensaver, and found that in 
 sysinstall, there is no way to select none as an option.

 So I went and edited /etc/rc.conf to comment out the line:-
 Saver=fire (or whatever it is)

 I put a ; at the beginning of the line, and now FreeBSD wont come up, 
 showing an error (unexpected ;) and leaving me with a # prompt.

It's rogt. you did wrong;.  Should have been a '#', not a ';'

 How do I get to re-edit rc.conf, to correct the problem, as all command 
 line commands result in a not found error.

  # fsck -p || fsck
  # mount -a
  # vi /etc/rc.conf{ or editor of your choice }
  # reboot

 Also.  What's the Correct way to disable a console screensaver?

 # vidcontrol -t off

Thanks Robert, I haven't seen a cite to bdes in the FM of des(3), but
the problem is solved using the source of bdes(1) [thanks to Antone].
The code would be as easy as:

#include openssl/des.h

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
DES_key_schedule schedule;
DES_cblock key;
strncpy(key, somekey, 8);

DES_set_key(key, schedule);

DES_cblock buf;
strncpy(buf, sometxt, 8);

// Encrypting
DES_ecb_encrypt(buf, buf, schedule, 0);  

// Decrypting
DES_ecb_encrypt(buf, buf, schedule, 1);  
printf(Text Is: %s\n, buf);

return(0);

 IIRC ';' isn't a valid bash comment ... (which has been previously discussed
 elsewhere). It's usually safer to use '#' for  comment in /etc/rc.conf and
 other system config files as they typically use BASH style structs.

Putting emphasize on _BA_sh seems to be a typical Linuxism. :-)

FreeBSD's standard scripting shell is the Bourne Shell, /bin/sh.
The Bourne Again Shell, bash, isn't even part of the FreeBSD
(base) system. Only under exceptional circumstances there
will be a /bin/bash.

As it has been pointed out, /etc/rc.conf is a shell script
(or to be correct: part of a shell script) that basically
consists of variable assignments, name=value. In this
context, ; has the default meaning in sh syntax - this
refers to Bourne Shell syntax.

The ; means command separator. It is a valid syntactical
element of the sh language. A command like

; saver=NO

causes the shell to stop processing the script (which causes
the system boot to stop as it interrupts reading /etc/rc.conf,
which interrupts the start of /etc/rc). Infont of ; there
has to be a command, and in this case, nothing is there.

As the Bourne Shell is the standard scripting shell on most
UNIX systems, relying on bash specific constructs may have
impact to script portability (which may develop into an
issue if you have to create scripts that should run on many
different kinds of UNIX).

The form

:  DELIMITER
... pile ...
...  of  ...
... text ...
DELIMITER

is indirectly refered to in man sh:

The following redirection is often called a ``here-document''.

  [n] delimiter
here-doc-text
...
  delimiter

All the text on successive lines up to the delimiter is saved away and
made available to the command on standard input, or file descriptor n if
it is specified.  If the delimiter as specified on the initial line is
quoted, then the here-doc-text is treated literally, otherwise the text
is subjected to parameter expansion, command substitution, and arithmetic
expansion (as described in the section on Word Expansions).  If the oper-
ator is ``-'' instead of ``'', then leading tabs in the here-doc-text
are stripped.

//

The option of specifying : as a file descriptor works with
the standard /bin/sh of FreeBSD, but I'm not sure this should
be encouraged for use in configuration files like /etc/rc.conf.

Using the form

# blah

is also better for use with syntax highlighting as comments
can be determined more easily, whereas the form using the here-doc
is primarily a here-doc and NOT a comment (unless directed
toward :).

From man sh:

The character `#' introduces a comment if used at the beginning of a
word.  The word starting with `#' and the rest of the line are ignored.

//

The use of # also makes sure there is NO kind of variable
expansion or arithmetic operation done - which you could
achieve using

:  'DELIMITER'
... pile ...
...  of  ...
... text ...
$((the)) $USER `/bin/laden` ${causes `NO' touble here!
'DELIMITER'

but # is the really safe form, as you can write ANYTHING
behind it. Again, the form illustrated above could cause
some interpretation problems for syntax highlighting
algorithms.

See man rc.conf for details. :-)

Just run it with /bin/sh. If no errors appear the syntax is good. Or
you can use /bin/sh -x to see more detail.

Well, rc.conf isn't supposed to have anything but variable settings, so
for syntax alone, /bin/sh /etc/rc.conf is a perfectly fine test.  If

Depends on your need.  You really haven't provided enough info to give
advice ie how many disks do you have, what storage capacity do you need,
performance etc.  ZFS capability are better utilized when ZFS, and not the
storage controller is providing the raid/mirroring functionality, but this
has some drawbacks as well.


 There is
 hardware raid and I am thinking to enable write-back cache on that hw
 based raid card.


Raid-z/mirror stripes have some advantages over hw raid so you may wish to
grow your understanding of the differences before proceeding.  You should
also ensure your hardware correctly handles cache flush requests as a few
disks and some SSD's don't.  If the hardware makes false reports to ZFS, you
can experience different forms of pool corruption in a loss of power
situation.  You'll almost certainly want a BBU if you're going to go this
route.

Which network driver for RTL8211 or 8201 NIC's?

2010-12-22 Thread Mike Clarke

I need to replace a failing motherboard. I'm aiming to keep the existing 
Athlon CPU so I'm tied down to to a socket AM2(+) board and the 
majority of those available seem to have nForce 630a chipsets and 
RTL8211CL or 8201EL NIC's which aren't explicitly mentioned in the 
release notes 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/hardware.html#ETHERNET. I see 
that the strings RTL8211C(L) and RTL8201L (but not EL) appear 
in /usr/src/sys/dev/rgephy.c and rlphy.c but the man page for the rl 
driver only mentions RealTek 8129/8139 and I'm not sure which driver is 
built from rgephy.c.

Am I going to have problems if I get a motherboard with one of these 
NIC's?

 Thanks for all your help!
 I chose to remove all hyphens instead.

I use ezjail and have jails with hyphens. Everything works fine there.

Nullfs Allows Jailbreaking

2010-12-22 Thread Jason C. Wells
Here is my file system scheme for a newly created jail as viewed from 
the host:


/usr/jail/template on /usr/jail/f1 (nullfs, local, read-only)
/usr/jail/f1-fs/etc on /usr/jail/f1/etc (nullfs, local)
/usr/jail/f1-fs/tmp on /usr/jail/f1/tmp (nullfs, local)
/usr/jail/f1-fs/var on /usr/jail/f1/var (nullfs, local)
/usr/jail/f1-fs/usr-local on /usr/jail/f1/usr/local (nullfs, local)

As viewed from the jail:

/usr/jail/template on / (nullfs, local, read-only)

I like the idea of using a template for multiple jails that I plan to 
use later.  I like the ide of mounting the template read only.  I had to 
splice in the other nullfs filesystems so that things that need to be 
read-write can be.


But it seems kinda funky.  Inside the jail it looks like EVERYTHING is 
read-only and you have no way of knowing that /tmp is actually 
read-write.  There seems to be a violation of the segregation going on here.


What pitfalls can you see in a file system scheme like this for my 
jails?  Is the above behavior by design or did I find a flaw?


Thanks,
Jason

I think you're reinventing the wheel.  The sysutils/ezjail already handles
this gracefully in addition to many other features.   For reference ezjail
creates a layout like this:

/usr/jails/www.example.com.device on /usr/jails/www.example.com (ufs, local,
soft-updates)
/usr/jails/basejail on /usr/jails/www.example.com/basejail (nullfs, local,
read-only)
devfs on /usr/jails/www.example.com/dev (devfs, local, multilabel)

From inside the jail you see:

/usr/jails/www.example.com.device on / (ufs, local, soft-updates)

I have been doing this for years with great success.   I don't understand your 
question.   How does it look like everything is read only from inside the jail? 
 The fact that a df only shows the root filesystem and not all your others 
file systems? (assuming that is still the truth -- my jails do this on older 
FBSD systems)

Your report of great success is encouraging.  I've never done this and 
sometimes you don't see the full consequences when you haven't done 
something before.


I think you understand my question.  It's the fact that mount(8) report 
read only. If you looked at that, you would conclude that you had no 
write access at all.  Well, I set up the jail, so I can see behind the 
curtain.  A downstream user that never saw behind the curtain wouldn't 
know where they could write a file unless they simply guessed.


That is why I asked about jailbreaking.  There is information crossing 
the jail in a mysterious way.  The jail reports that everything under 
root is read only, but the jail can still see the read-writeness of the 
invisible (to mount) null filesystems.


From the sound of it, this is expected behavior.

Jason C. Wells

Laptop with external monitor, how to make it work

2010-12-22 Thread Leslie Jensen


I'm looking for a description on how to make the switching between 
monitors work. In my case it's the key combination Fn + F8 on a Dell 
Latitude E6500.


Any help appreciated :-)

Thanks
