Help to secure my FreeBSD/Apache installation

[Andy Wodfer]

Hi everybody!

I'm running a server on FreeBSD 8.1 STABLE (apache 2.2.16, mysql 5.1.50,
php 5.3.3) and I server some websites from it, most of them using Joomla or
Wordpress CMS.

I recently had a security breach where someone used a hole in an older
Joomla version and was able to install a php script called webadmin.php.
>From that the person was able to browse all folders and view all files -
and change them... not nice!

Apache runs using the www user (std installation) and all virtualhosts
share the same user, but are placed in different directories.

I need some help and pointers to what I can do to strengthen security and
to atleast prevent someone from writing to the filesystem and browse all
directories and files. (allthough joomla needs some folders to be chmod 777)

I'm thinking about installing apache2-mpm-itk or similare to jail each site
into its own directory and run each virtualhost as its own user. Is this a
good idea?

Thankful for answers and pointers!

All the best -
Andy

Hi,
You might consider compiling it from source instead since it often takes
some time for the ports to be up to date with the development of ffmpeg.

Here is how I did it a while back:

Download the latest ffmpeg from GIT.

Extract .tgz file

# cd ffmpeg-0.10
# bash
# export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
# export CPATH=/usr/local/include
# ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-shared
--enable-libdirac --enable-libfaac --enable-libschroedinger
--enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264
--enable-libxvid --cc=gcc47
#gmake
#gmake install

Re: /tmp filesystem full

[Andy Wodfer]

Hi everybody!

Thanks for answering my questions and helping me out with this problem.

It's been fixed now and I managed to locate the problem with the find /
-type d | awk 'length > 900' command.

What caused it was something that looked like a directory loop or at least
a very deep list of sub directories from two old backups of src + kernel
compilations that recently got moved to this server from another one
(accidentally and in a hurry due to disk failure on the other server). I
think I counted 12 full lines in my terminal window for the directory bash
path...

I deleted them and now it works great again. Thanks again for great help!

Best regards,
Andy

Btw, is /etc/locate.rc being read at all?

Re: /tmp filesystem full

[Andy Wodfer]

Can't seem to figure out the problem with MAXPATHLEN.

locate: integer out of +-MAXPATHLEN (1024): 1029


In my /etc/locate.rc I have pruned several directories (even the most
obvious) - still the locate DB exeeds well over 1GB before outputting this
error message.

I have moved the tmp dir for locate to /usr/tmp which works fine (changed
in locate script) and there is no problems with diskspace here.

the find awk command suggested earlier in this thread didn't give me a
better clue about what's happening.

Anyone have any other ideas what I can try to find out why locate fails?

Thanks!
Andy

Re: /tmp filesystem full

[Andy Wodfer]

How can I find which directories break the MAXPATHLEN variable?

or can I somehow run the periodic script in verbose mode to see the output?

Re: /tmp filesystem full

[Andy Wodfer]

Thanks to all for your input!

Editing /etc/periodic.rc seem to do the trick, but now I faced a different
problem which I've never seen before:

locate: integer out of +-MAXPATHLEN (1024): 1029


There are some directories that contains A LOT of small files I think. Need
to investigate.

Also thanks for the tip on omitting parts of the filesystem. Perhaps I need
to do that.

/tmp filesystem full

[Andy Wodfer]

Hi,
I have about 500MB in my /tmp and it seems to be too small when the
periodic LOCATE script runs every week.

What's the best way to increase the size of /tmp ? Could I simply remove it
and create a symbolic link ln -s to say /usr/tmp instead (where I have
several hundred GBs free)?

PS! This is on a live server and I would like to keep downtime and problems
to a minimum. :-)

Cheers,
Andy

So, I updated gmake to 3.82 from ports and installed gcc47 from ports. I
updated /etc/make.conf as described here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/custom-gcc/article.html

However, I don't have a libmap file so I skipped this one and the other
ones below in the article.

Here's some outputs:

# gmake -v
GNU Make 3.82
Built for amd64-portbld-freebsd8.2
Copyright (C) 2010  Free Software Foundation, Inc.
License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html

# gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: amd64-undermydesk-freebsd
Configured with: FreeBSD/amd64 system compiler
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.2.2 20070831 prerelease [FreeBSD]

How do I tell the system to use gcc47 instead of 4.2.2 (if that's what
causes the problems)?

Compiling ffmpeg from source still failes on the same line as in my orginal
post.

Thanks a lot for any pointers that will help me resolve this. :-)

All the best,
Andy

Ok - thanks!

I'm currently doing this:

Help compiling ffmpeg from source

[Andy Wodfer]

I'm on FreeBSD 8.2 STABLE (AMD64).

I need to install the latest ffmpeg 0.10, but it fails when compiling. I
must admit I very rarely do it this way. Normally all software is installed
from ports, but I couldn't find this version of ffmpeg there.

Heres what I do:

./configure
gmake

and the problem looks like this:

Help! Drive failing in zpool

[Andy Wodfer]

I have a drive failing and it's a member of a zpool. Since I don't deal
with these things every day I thought I ask for some help... :-)

I've already ordered a new drive which will arrive shortly, but I was
wondering if someone could guide me through the process of taking out a
drive of the pool and replacing it with a new one and keep all the data
intact?

Ie.

- put drive in offline mode
- remove drive
- insert new drive
- whatever needs to set it up
- add it to the zpool
run

Btw, rebooting this server is not a problem if needed.

Here are some system details btw:

Help! Can't delete files ...

[Andy Wodfer]

A client has uploaded several files through a CMS and these files contain
Norwegian letters (I think). Æ Ø and Å.

I need to delete about 20 files, but I can't do it through the CMS nor by
command line on this FreeBSD 8.1 STABLE server. There's something with the
character encoding/keyboard or server setup I think.

Please advice.

This is what a file looks like when I ls:

28b Kjoepesenter n?ringsg?rdeier.docx

ls | more:

28b Kjoepesenter n<91>ringsg<86>rdeier.docx

If I try:

# rm 28b Kjoepesenter n<91>ringsg<86>rdeier.docx
Ambiguous input redirect

...

Hi, I'm running 8.2 REL. Are there any specific things to be aware of when

I've only done this in 32bit.

That would work on all my servers except this one .. which runs 6.3 STABLE

Urgent: Under attack - need tcpdrop help

[Andy Wodfer]

Hi,
One of my FreeBSD servers is currently being attacked (DDOS) and I'm
blocking IP addresses in my firewall. However, there are a large number of
hung tcp connections and I want them gone.

Can anyone help me with a script (command line) that can read a netstat -n
and tcpdrop all IP addresses that has more than 10 connections or a more
manual command where I can input an IP and it will drop all connections from
that IP regardless of port?

Thanks in advance!

Shell scripting isn't what I'm best at unfortunatly ...

Installing .bin file?

[Andy Wodfer]

On one of my old servers I'm running FreeBSD 6.3 and I'm having some disk
problems. The "raid" card is a Promise TX4310 and I'd like to install Webpam
(
http://firstweb.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=136&category=utility&os=100&go=GO)
to swap + rebuild two broken disks and to have an overview via a webgui.

So, I download *WebPAM for
FreeBSD*,
unrar it and find a .bin file inside.

How do I install a .bin file on FreeBSD? I'm used to makefiles etc.

Thanks for any help!

Best,

X-Authentication-Warning (FreeBSD 8.1 STABLE)

[Andy Wodfer]

Hi,
A client is sending out a newsletter and I'm trying to set the FreeBSD
server user (www) to be trusted so that I don't get this warning in the
message header:

X-Authentication-Warning: host.domain.net: www set sender to
post@domain.netusing -f

I assume this is to be set in the sendmail.cf file (Twww), but on my FreeBSD
8.1 STABLE I have both a sendmail.cf and a freebsd.cf aswell as a
freebsd.submit.cf. I haven't played around with sendmail for a couple of
years, but I also seem to remember that you don't just edit the .cf file,
but infact edit the mc file and compile, install and restart?

Can someone please guide me through here?

PS! I'm the only login user on this system, but are there security issues
related to this that I should be concerned with?

Thanks!

Cool. Procmail is now installed, but the procmail.rc file, should that be
placed under root's home folder ie /root/procmail.rc or another user? I
assume root since Daniel's command doesn't specify any users?

That would mean I'm logged in as root, run the command, formail sends all
mails to procmail which sees the alias in procmail rc and sends the mails
out? Correct?

I already tried something similare, but I keep getting command not found for

additional software - just use what comes with a default FreeBSD
installation.

How to forward old root mails to an external email address?

[Andy Wodfer]

Hi all!

I'm running FreeBSD 8.0 Release on this particular server and I have a
rather large root mailbox under /var/mail/root.

I have set up an alias under /etc/aliases for new emails, but I need to
forward all the old emails in this mailbox to an external email address.

How can I do that?

Wow! I'm learning more and more and I'm really beginning to like ZFS!

Question: What happens if 1 drive out of say 4 fails in a pool? And what
about hotswapping a (faulty) drive? Is this still possible with ZFS? Can I
actually replace a Raid 5 setup with a ZFS settup and have the same data
security if drives fail?'

Re: FreeBSD and large harddrives

[Andy Wodfer]

Thanks a lot to all who responded to my post.

I have learned lots here. Too bad I have to find another use for my 4 x 2TB
green WDC drives I have laying around. Anyways - they'll probably end up as
a temp/work drive on a few Windows stations.

Btw. will these drive work better in a ZFS "pool/tank" (not connected to a
raid card)? I have noticed on my FreeNAS server that you can group several
drives together into "one" large ZFS "drive".

So my conclusion is so far: I'm going to go for the 64bit version of FreeBSD
and use ZFS (mainly due to error correction), but perhaps UFS for the OS. I
will use a Raid controller (probably the RocketRaid 2640x1 which I have
here, but may also consider getting a new 3ware card with battery backup),
get the largest Raid Edition drives (need to order them) and use a separate
Raid 1 for the OS (or worst case simply a SATA connector on the motherboard
and backup this often) and a Raid 5 for the file storage area.

Again - thanks a lot for all your help! Very appreciated!

Best regards,
Andy

Thanks! I didn't know I could use amd64 on Intel servers. Then my next

have most of the ports? I need ffmpeg, php, apache, mysql, imagemagick,
ghostscript, exiftools and a few more small ones.

Excellent. I'm using ZFS on a FreeNAS installation. Is ZFS still considered
experimental on FreeBSD or is it now production ready? What tool or command
is used to partition/format/create a large ZFS drive?

Thanks and best regards,

FreeBSD and large harddrives

[Andy Wodfer]

Hi,
I'm going to build a server that's intended to store uncompressed videofiles
(where 1 hour film equals about 500GB). I plan on using Western Digital 2TB
or 3TB SATA harddrives.  Total storage in version 1 of this server will
probably be 8-12 TB. Harddrive speed is not so important so a 5400rpm drive
would be OK. Seems like the green line of WD harddrives use both 5400rpm and
7200rpm. I will use RAID 5.

The processor will be a 64bit capable Intel processor and I plan on using a
Highpoint Rocketraid or 3ware Raid controller.

So now my questions:

1. Which FreeBSD version should I install? (it must support large drives).
I'm currently using the standard FreeBSD 8.1 (STABLE) on several servers,
but this is a 32bit version, right? I suppose I need a 64bit version when I
use large harddrives?

2. I know that the 3ware Raid controller supports larger drives than 2TB (or
was it 1TB?). The Highpoint controller I'm not so sure of, but I've had good
experience with these on a few Windows servers and on one FreeBSD server. My
setup would be to use the entire disk for both operating system and
filestorage (in version 1). How can I create this huge partition/slice? I
don't think the installer (atleast on the standard FreeBSD version) supports
these large drives?

Thanks for your help. I might have follow-up questions as my project make
progress.

Best,
Andy

You were right!!! Thanks a lot!!!

I had version 5.3.2 on my system and the latest version in my ports was
5.3.3. An upgrade too care of the problem. Now I'm heading forward to fight
new problems (or challenges if you like)! ;-)

Thanks again and best regards,

Undefined symbol "php_pcre_exec"

[Andy Wodfer]

Hi FreeBSD-Questions-readers,
This question is not exactly FreeBSD, but since I'm running FreeBSD 8.0
RELEASE on this server I was hoping this community would be able to give me
some help.

I'm trying to install the latest version (3.8.2144) of ResourceSpace (
http://www.resourcespace.org/ - open source digital assets management)  on a
FreeBSD 8.0 server running the latetst version of Apache 2.2.16, PHP5.3.3
and mysql 5.1.45.

On the first installation html page (/pages/setup.php) I fill inn all the
fields (database user, name, host and path to binaries etc) and click Begin
installation. This is as far as I get.

In Firefox I get a download window asking me to save or open setup.php, in
Safari I get an error message and in IE I get IE cannot display this page
error.

So I begin to dig... Tried several databases/user/passwords, with or without
paths to binaries, but still the same problem. So I check my http error log
and I notice that every time I click "Begin installation" I get a line with
this in my logfile:

My http error log shows this line every time I click "Begin installation":
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/php/20090626/filter.so: Undefined
symbol "php_pcre_exec"

So I thought maybe my PHP installation is broken or I have missed some
modules. Tried reinstalling (with make rmconfig first), I even installed all
modules and did the same with Apache - several times. Problem still there.

So I start search for an answer and a Google search comes up with a
reference to /usr/ports/UPDATING where it says something like php_pcre is
from version 5.x now a part of the php core and can't be installed alone as
an
additional package to PHP. Could this have anything to do with my problems?

I'm running out of ideas here and I was hoping someone could help me out or
give me some pointers..

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
Andy

Re: Resin 3.1.9, Apache 2.2.16 and mod_caucho?

[Andy Wodfer]

Got mod_caucho.so installed. The makefile only refers to Apache 20 while I am 
running 22. I changed the path in the Makefile to /usr/ports/www/apache22 and 
the compile arg to yes and it installed fine. Will test now.

Cheers,
Andy

Don't think so. locate (updated) and find only shows these:

Resin 3.1.9, Apache 2.2.16 and mod_caucho?

[Andy Wodfer]

Hi,
I'm trying to install Resin together with Apache and according to all
documentation I can find I'm supposed to compile the mod_caucho and include
this in the Apache httpd.conf,  but I can't find any reference to mod_caucho
in my ports, system or compile options.

Is the documentation outdated or can anyone give me some pointers as to how
I can make requests to Java sites go through Apache (using virtual hosts)?
Ie. http://caucho.com/resin-3.1/doc/install-apache.xtp

Both Apache (port 80) and Resin3.1 (port 8080) runs fine alone.

I solved my problem by manually deleting /usr/local/lib/php/20090626/gd.so
and reinstalling the php5-extensions.

Hi John,
thanks for your input. In my case both extension.ini (gd.so line) and gd.so
in the /usr/local/lib/php/20090626 are present.

Any other ideas?

I couldn't get it to work. My solution was to remove the 1TB drive and
install 2x500GB drives in a small RAID instead. Made life so much easier.

Trouble enabling GD in php/apache

[Andy Wodfer]

I'm running FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE.

I can't get GD enabled. I have installed latestes php5 from ports aswell as
php5-extensions and enabled GD on the option screen:

cd /usr/ports/lang/php5
make deinstall
make clean
make rmconfig
make install clean

cd /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions
make deinstall
make clean
make rmconfig
make install clean

I'm running the latest Apache 2.2.x version and GD 2.0.35.

I'm currently doing a portupgrade -a to see if that helps, but I think not.

What's the correct way of getting GD to work on Ie. a webshop (opencart)?

Thanks for all help!

Problem adding 1TB SATA disk to system

[Andy Wodfer]

Hi all,

I'm running FreeBSD 8.0 release (will upgrade to 8.1 STABLE tonight).
However, I'm having big problems adding a new harddrive to the system. I
want a separate 1TB SATA installed to recover backup files on, but when I
add it I only get error messages:

dmesg:

ad2: 953869MB  at ata1-master SATA300
GEOM: ad2: corrupt or invalid GPT detected.
GEOM: ad2: GPT rejected -- may not be recoverable.

GEOM: ufsid/4c80e66f50f43e15: GPT rejected -- may not be recoverable.

I've tried label and fdisk, but I can't get it to work.

Fdisk:

Yes ... but it doesn't work. The computer hardware was bought new about 7
months ago and the mainboard is an intel server board.


Can someone help me get this disk up and running (if possible?)?

Thanks!

Re: Hardware RAID controller questions - 3Ware vs RocketRaid

[Andy Wodfer]

Thanks for all your feedback.

The problem occurs in the RAID controller BIOS (before we even boot or get
to the OS install).

Thanks to John for confirming these cards do work above 2TB. I will look
into upgrading the firmware (on these brand new cards). Perhaps it's just
the current firmware that can't handle 2TB harddrives x 3 in RAID.

I'm afraid ZFS is not an option for this customer. I use ZFS on other system

Hardware RAID controller questions - 3Ware vs RocketRaid

[Andy Wodfer]

Hi,
We're setting up two backup servers where each server will have about 4TB of
harddrives (for now) connected (4x1TB and 8x500GB drives). Last night we ran
into trouble with the 3ware controllers we have (9650SE-8LPML) because we
couldn't create a larger RAID5 than 1.99TB.

We are going to use FreeBSD 8.0 and Bacula, but first we obviously need to
create a working RAID.

My questions are:

- Are HighPoint RocketRaid controllers a good alternative to 3ware
controllers? Are RocketRaid controllers true hardware RAID?

- What should we look for in a RAID controller spec to see that it has
support for larger than 2TB RAIDs?

I've been looking at these:
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/series_rr2300.htm
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/series_rr3500.htm

Any FreeBSD recommendations? Or perhaps for another 3ware controller?

We're using SATAII drives.

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,
Andreas

Thanks for your replies.

The requested outputs are:

# df -i /tmp
Filesystem  1K-blocks Used  Avail Capacity iused  ifree %iused  Mounted on
/dev/ar0s1d   1012974  134 931804 0% 119 1411910%   /tmp

# du -h /tmp
2.0K/tmp/.snap
2.0K/tmp/.XIM-unix
2.0K/tmp/ssh-fc3AdQjUmT
2.0K/tmp/.X11-unix
2.0K/tmp/.ICE-unix
2.0K/tmp/.font-unix
134K/tmp

I have never done a fsck. Didn't really know of this command. I'm running it
now and will post the result when it's finished.

I have had one diskproblem a few months ago. This was the output of that:

ad6: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing

ad6: WARNING - SETFEATURES SET TRANSFER MODE taskqueue timeout - completing

ad6: FAILURE - SMART status=51 error=4
ad4: FAILURE - SMART status=51 error=4
ad8: FAILURE - SMART status=51 error=4

Haven't had any trouble since and the server is still running on the same
disks and with the same RAID setup. The server has been up for almost 200
days now. Ofcoure I'm worried that one or more disks are having trouble.

Look forward to your replies. Thanks!

Help! locate.code /tmp: filesystem full

[Andy Wodfer]

Hi,
I'm getting an error message every week and I can't seem to understand why
nor manage to fix it. Here it is:

#dmesg
[snip]
pid 54753 (locate.code), uid 65534 inumber 23557 on /tmp: filesystem full

# df -h
Filesystem SizeUsed   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ar0s1a989M 53M857M 6%/
devfs  1.0K1.0K  0B   100%/dev
/dev/ar0s1g 48G8.5G 36G19%/backup
/dev/ar0s1d989M 44K910M 0%/tmp
/dev/ar0s1f387G168G189G47%/usr
/dev/ar0s1e7.7G398M6.7G 5%/var

As you see there's 910MB free space in /tmp. Should be plenty to run the
weekly locate script?

Does anyone have a suggestion what I can do to fix this problem?

Thanks a lot!

Best,
