Perhaps I'm missing something, but if a script is being called via CGI it would need to be called by a process running as user "nobody" in your case (like a web server). In which case, you probably will never know who called it, but you might get their IP address from the web server access logs as has already been mentioned... If you have a server with multiple accounts for say, shared web hosting, you should definitely grep through their scripts for something like "mail" to look for the person who installed scripts with mailing functions... anyhow, wish you luck :-) Aaron ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: freebsd hosting
I have leased a dedicated host for several years with mikro-data.net who is located in Kentucky and been very happy with their pricing, service and responsiveness. Basically, I just told them what version of FreeBSD I wanted on the server and they loaded it. They sent me the root password and they haven't touched it again except at my request. It's worked out great for me. They are very friendly to open-source communities, so if you tell them you heard about them from me on the freebsd-questions mailing list, they might even give you a discounted rate. I recieved a discounted rate when I heard about them through the local LUG anyway... I don't get any perks for any of this, in case you're wondering. I would send questions about rates to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you're interested.

console characters/keyboard
I have been working with a database recently that contained values with special characters. A lower case "n" with a tilde over it for instance. Anyway, during the conversion of the database from mysql to sqlite these special characters got corrupted. I ended up fixing them by hand since there weren't many, but during the process I realized these things: 1) My console does not print these characters, but empty box characters instead 2) I have no good way of entering these characters (that I know of) with my standard keyboard layout and language settings. So the obvious questions follow: 1) Can I somehow alter my console or add fonts so these characters are displayed properly 2) I ended up writing a perl program and giving it html entities to decode back to the special character and insert into the database, but this is very roundabout. How can I set my FreeBSD box up to be able to enter such characters manually?

However if you use other protocols besides IP on your network, this might have unexpected side effects. My understanding is that the default deny policy drops everything that isn't IP traffic, and there is no way to allow it using rules at that point. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. A default accept policy with a "deny all" rule functions similarly, still allowing all non IP traffic. If you don't forsee this causing problems, you should be fine with a single "allow all" rule until your change window arrives.

I am trying to run FreeBSD 5.4 on ESX, since I seem to have left that information out in earlier posts. I really appreciate the information, I wasn't aware of any configuration directives like these for vmware. I am left with a couple other questions that you or someone might be able to help me with. Why does nanosleep() "eat CPU when running under these platforms"? I was able to get FreeBSD running on a virtual host before hearing your suggestion by adding "hint.apic.0.disabled=0" to /boot/loader.conf. I'm sure this does basically the same thing as your suggestion, except in the FreeBSD kernel instead of in the virtual host configuration. I wonder what the pros and cons are of doing one or the other? In your opinion, is it worth running FreeBSD 5.4 on ESX in light of the quirks you've noticed?

First, the authoritative DNS servers for your domain must be configured to resolve all of the sub-domains to the specified IP address. Otherwise your server will never recieve any communication to begin with. Then to set up virtual hosting with apache, if you want one vhost to service all the sub-domains, I believe you can use the ServerAlias directive in your VirtualHost definition like so: ServerName blogspot.com ServerAlias *.blogspot.com Or set up separate vhost definitions for each sub-domain if you want them to point to different web directories on your server.

a script you run as:
% script.pl *
from the directory these files are in might look like:
foreach $old (@ARGV) {
$new = $old;
$new =~ s/\W//g;
rename $old, $new;
}
That would remove all non "word" characters in the filename. Perl
defines word characters as A-Z 0-9 and underscores.
or you could do something like this:
foreach $old (@ARGV) {
$old =~ /(\w+\.php)/;
rename $old, $1;
}
which catches any series of one or more word characters, a period, and
"php" in the variable $1.
There are lots of options, sounds like you need a book on perl
maybe... There is good online documentation here:

(I can su in a terminal window of course) It is likely that the permissions for your X server deny new windows to be opened except by the user who is running X. So if the problem you are describing is that you start X/KDE as a normal user, then open a shell window and su to root and try to run Emacs as root, it likely will not work. You should however be able to run Emacs fine as the same user you started X/KDE with. You can try something like "xhost +" if you are in a fairly secure environment, or look at the man page for "xhost" to find other options. I don't know why KControl would act that way, but I bet it is unrelated to your problems with Emacs. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I think you are mistaken that you are trying to turn on the sticky bit since you don't need a separate partition for that by itself. There are other security features that go along with mounting the filesystem with the SUIDDIR option. An excerpt from "man mount": suiddir A directory on the mounted file system will respond to the SUID bit being set, by setting the owner of any new files to be the same as the owner of the directory. New directories will inherit the bit from their parents. Execute bits are removed from the file, and it will not be given to root. This feature is designed for use on fileservers serving PC users via ftp, SAMBA, or netatalk. It provides secu- rity holes for shell users and as such should not be used on shell machines, especially on home directories. This option requires the SUIDDIR option in the kernel to work. Only UFS file systems support this option. See chmod(2) for more information. This requires planning ahead on your filesystem though, so that you have space to create a separate partition for /home/ftp/incoming in your case. You could add another hard disk, or perhaps find a way to rearrange your existing space. It is usually easiest to set this stuf up at install time though...

Re: Any suggestions for a MTA for a new admin?
I have used sendmail some, postfix to its limits, and currently am using courier-mta. I'm using courier because it is an all in one solution for webmail, mta, pop3, and imap. It also easilly does mail services for multiple domains with a number of configurable backends (filesystem, database, etc...) I really don't know which one is best. I liked sendmail and postfix alot. courier-mta fit all my needs at the time though... Having said that, it was a HUGE undertaking to set it up because it was an all in one solution with many parts. However, I finally got it done, and seldom have to touch it for anything now.

tunneling / IPSec
I've recently been through the relatively simple process of setting up IPSec IP in IP tunnels between two FreeBSD boxes using gif interfaces for the tunneling portion, native IPSec and the racoon port. Best I can tell, this only works between two devices whose IP addresses are directly accessable to each other (no NAT). I'm wondering if there is an easy way to make this same tunnel work through NAT, and/or if there is some other easy to implement alternative that works through NAT. I was thinking of tunneling the encrypted IP packets over a TCP connection maybe. But my thoughts aren't always the right ones :-) Is there a pseudo-interface that allows tunneling over a tcp connection in a similar way to the gif interface?

It is a daemon that runs in a centralized location where you can install fonts and serve them out to multiple networked clients. A NFS server is a file server similar to MS Windows file sharing. NFS is in common use on Unix. Ports are a collection of 3rd party packages that you can compile and install via pre-written scripts on BSD. Generally you download a "ports tree" which is a directory tree full of these scripts.

GBDE - howto 2 factor auth?
I've found a few placed where Poul-Henning Kamp mentions that gbde will accept any byte string as a passphrase and that the design of gbde also makes 2 factor authentication possible. I took that to understand that I might be able to use a file of random data from a usb key (something I have) and a text passphrase (something I know) to encrypt my partitions (which I also think Poul mentions somewhere). I can't find any documentation on how this might be accomplished though. The closest thing I've found was a mailing list message from a couple years ago where someone had written a script to collect the information and run it through md5 to create a single text string that could be used on the command line with gbde and the -P/-p switches. With this md5 method, it seems (to my uneducated mind) that I'd be taking all the randomness in the file and my passphrase and turning it into a single fixed length string of lower case letters and numerals. Seems like there would be a better way. Plus you're putting the completed passphrase on the commandline where it can potentially be seen/copied by ps, etc... Does anyone else know the way this was intended to work? Can I just pipe the contents of a file to gbde and then it still prompts me for text that it combines to use for my passphrase? That would be nice if it were that simple.

Hauppauge WinTV bt878 card
I'm running 5.3, loaded the bktr module, and installed fxtv. I get video, but no audio. I was able to get audio without patching the audio out from the tv card to the line in on the soundcard with linux by compiling a driver into the kernel for the built in audio device on the tv card. I don't know exactly how this works on freebsd though and would like to get some sound going with the tv picture :) Additionally, i would like to use mplayer/mencoder and can't seem to get that working either. I can't even get video there it seems... I tried: mplayer tv://4 -tv driver=bsdbt848:channel=4 but just got a big blue screen If anyone has done all this and could offer me some hints I would be most grateful! -- The zen of unix involves typeey typeey not clicky clicky. --Rich Bowen signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Compaq DL380 Woes Continue
Everything worked great until I recompiled the kernel. I used the GENERIC config file edited in two ways: I removed all the "cpu" lines at the top except for "cpu I686_CPU" since this machine has dual p3 733s. Secondly, I uncommented "options SMP" and "options APIC_IO" to enable SMP per the comment above the options. When I reboot, early in the kernel boot I get: Changing APIC ID for IO APIC #0 from 0 to 8 on chip Programming 35 pins in IOAPIC #0 IOAPIC #0 intpin 2 -> irq 0 Then it hangs indefinitely. Any ideas? I can reboot, and hit any key to give loader options, "unload", "load /kernel.old", "boot" and it boots fine from the old single proc kernel still. I really want to make use of the extra processor though, it would seem a waste not to. Aaron signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

audio playback during processor intense activity
I have a Dell workstation with dual P3 933 Xeons, 256M ECC RDRAM, 2 18G Ultra160 SCSI drives. It is loaded with FreeBSD 4.9, and the only thing I've changed about the kernel configuration is the 2 options to turn on SMP capability. During processor intensive activities like encoding mpeg4 from dvd with mencoder, xmms audio playback frequently "jitters" for lack of a better term. I never experienced this with my 2.4GHz Celeron machine, with normal pc hardware (DDR, ATA disk, etc). I'm wondering if there's something I can tweak, perhaps with sysctl, that will improve my situation. I was under the impression that a dual cpu would load balance processor usage better, and at the very least i could run mencoder on one processor and everything else on the other. Is this likely to be caused by some other system hardware? I'm using a Sound Blaster Live card, which I think should be well supported by now and is not a bottom of the line sound card. As a side note, it is interesting to me that when watching top, the mencoder xmms processes (as well as all the other processes) seem to jump back and forth between processors. Why would they do that? So sometimes xmms and mencoder end up on the same processor... I'm sure I will see this problem with other applications as well, this is just my real world situation at the moment...

XV is a good one if your video card supports it. second you might try caching some of the dvd before it starts to play. this way it keeps a buffer in memory that is quicker to read from than the dvd by itself. then you might also try the framedrop option, so when your machine can't keep up with the dvd information it drops frames a bit more gracefully and you won't see as many jerky starts and stops. this might look something like the following: mplayer -vo xv -cache 8192 -framedrop dvd:// For more information on these options and others, you could check out "man mplayer" Aaron ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
how does linux emulation work?
I'm under the impression that linux.ko provides linux kernel emulation, and linux binary base libraries are installed in /compat/linux/ for linux binaries to use in linux emulation mode. when you execute a linux binary (recognized by branding in the binary) it runs chrooted to /compat/linux/ so it uses the linux libraries, and that's that. is there more too it than that? is there any reason i cant copy my distro of choice from a fresh installation into /compat/linux/, load linux.ko and be on my way with it? aaron ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you have plain text passwords in your MySQL database, you don't need PAM to look them up. SASL2 has this ability natively. In any case, perhaps my smtpd.conf will help you in the right direction. Documentation for SASL/SASL2 with MySQL is terrible, if you can find any at all I've found. $ cat smtpd.conf pwcheck_method: auxprop auxprop_plugin: sql mech_list: plain login sql_engine: mysql sql_hostnames: localhost sql_user: mailuser sql_passwd: password sql_database: postfix sql_select: select pass_plain from mailbox where username='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" at the end of the select statement is probably the magic you're looking for if you don't use PAM.

setting up a printer - best method?

irssi, ld-elf.so.1, and perl something
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: irssi: Undefined symbol "Perl_eval_pv" this is the error i'm receiving when i try to run irssi installed from ports. it used to work and has broken recently, perhaps through some complication with buildworld or portupgrade -arR. In any case, i'm running fbsd 4.9 with a generic kernel (minus cpu i386, 486, and 586). Since i noticed this problem, i've rebuilt the world and the kernel, rebuilt perl, and rebuilt irssi. no luck. i'm not sure what this error means exactly, perhaps that information is key to solving my problem :) Aaron ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
