Problem with chroot, uid's and quota
I have installed openssh-portable with the chroot option enabled. Users can login and execute the commands I supplied in their chroot'ed home directory. I included an /etc/fstab file for the quota enabled devices and hard linked the quota.user file to the base direcotry of the chroot. In addidtion I copied the entries for the root and chroot'ed user as well as the relevant groups to /etc/passwd and /etc/group in the chroot directory. So far so good. If I login as the chrooted user and type the command quota by itself I get the correct values returned: $ quota Disk quotas for user (no account) (uid 1003): Filesystem usage quota limit grace files quota limit grace / 8 512000 563200 4 0 0 However, when executing the quota command with the user name appended I get: $ quota myuser quota: myuser: unknown user Similar with ls: $ ls -al total 96 drwxr-xr-x8 0wheel 512 Dec 21 17:41 . drwxr-xr-x8 0wheel 512 Dec 21 17:41 .. dr-x--x--x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 16:53 bin drwxr-xr-x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 17:42 dev dr-xr-xr-x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 16:54 etc drwxr-xr-x4 1003 mygroup 512 Dec 21 16:47 home dr-x--x--x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 16:47 lib dr-x--x--x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 16:47 libexec -rw-r-3 0operator 2097120 Dec 21 17:44 quota.user Somehow the gid's can get mapped to names but the uid's can't.

Re: Problem with chroot, uid's and quota
Somehow the gid's can get mapped to names but the uid's can't. Can anyone point out what I need to adjust or is required to get uid's working with names as well? In FreeBSD, group names are resolved through /etc/group. Usernames however resolve through a user database that is derived from /etc/master.passwd. The actual database files are /etc/pwd.db and /etc/spwd.db. Try to experiment which of these 3 files are actually required by the quota and ls commands to resolve the usernames. Thanks you Ruben. That explains why. The only file required is /etc/pw.db. Remember however that putting sensitive information like this inside the chroot is a security risk. master.passwd and spwd.db contain the (encrypted, but crackable) passwords of all users. Is there a way of creating such a file independently and containing only the chroot user's data? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: quotas on 5.3
Hi Dave, you can run the command: # /sbin/quotacheck -avgu This will create your quota.user file. Because you have set check_quotas=NO you can run the quotacheck command via cron task: 0 4 * * * root /sbin/quotacheck -avgu /dev/null HTH, Dave. Hello, Got a question on quotas. I've enabled them on /usr and /var filesystems by adding the userquota option to their options in fstab. This is after i recompiled my kernel with the QUOTA option in it and rebooted. I then added: enable_quotas=YES check_quotas=NO to /etc/rc.conf and again rebooted. According to the handbook quota files should be created automatically i don't have to touch any zero-length quota files. When the system came back up i checked /usr and /var for quota user files, i did not see them. Boot up messages indicate quota on /usr but again no quota file. Is this normal? Did i miss something?

Unable to create the partition. Too big?
Hi folks, I am trying to custom partition my 73GB SCSI hard drive using 5.3. When I first create the partions using the Auto Default option I get the following table: amrd0s1a /256MB UFS2 Y amrd0s1b swap2022MB SWAP amrd0s1d /tmp 256MB UFS2+S Y amrd0s1e /var 256MB UFS2+S Y amrd0s1g /usr 67085MB UFS2+S Y OK, so far so good but I want bigger /, /tmp and /var partitions. So I deleted them and recreated them to the following: amrd0s1b swap2022MB SWAP amrd0s1a /512MB UFS2 Y amrd0s1d /tmp 512MB UFS2+S Y amrd0s1e /var1024MB UFS2+S Y Now, I just cannot create the /usr partition. If fails with: Unable to create the partition. Too big? Although the top line tells me there is 65805MB left which is less than the auto created partition... Bug or am I missing here something?

Re: Unable to create the partition. Too big?
Yep, that did work. I did not delete the swap partition before. After deleting all of the partitions I was able to create the table as intended. However, I've installed FreeBSD in a similar way a couple of times before and never seen this happen. Does anyone know the reason for it? Dave. On Thu, Nov 18, 2004 at 10:28:26PM +0100, David E.

Thanks. Dave This isn't an answer to your question, but I have witnessed this behvior in the past, probably as far back 4.8. The only way I was ever able to get around it was to manually partition the whole thing. Modifying the auto-created partitions never seemed to work, and I got the same errors as you. Fortunately, it's fairly easy to designate 5 or 6 partitions manually. I don't know, but I would suspect that this is some type of bug or limitation in the program. I hope somebody else has a better answer.

RE: Remote backup hosting setup?
Hi Eric, we are currently developing a small program/service for our customers exactly for this purpose. To just backup the data to a remote server is very easy, even on Windows: Use cygwin. It comes together with rsync and ssh. I recommend you use rsync since it is the most effective AFAIK and the transfer is safe (not unimportant to law companies). Then you could run a nightly task to backup the data. We also found that revision the data on the backup server could also be very helpful using rsnapshot. This tool is actually intended for backups between UNIX/Linux boxes, however, you can also run it locally. It creates full daily backups with the storage need of an incremental backup while using links to unchanged files. Cheers. Dave. Thanks for the reply, Tim. I didn't specify in the OP, but this is from Windows systems to my freebsd server. The retrieval method will be a copy on CD/DVD, at a premium, of course, in the even they have a faliure.

Re: Remote backup hosting setup?
So I've been thinking of having maybe 5 different copies at the destination and rsyncing to a different one each night so I have 5 different backups to go to -- just like in the days of tape. Something conceptually like: rsync -avR --delete / remote:/BACKUP/`expr $dayofyear % 5`/ Yeah, you need to store 5x copies of your client's data, but disk is cheap. Run rsnapshot at the remote destination on the backup directory. You get full daily versions at the cost of only another incremental backup. Check out http://www.rsnapshot.org/ We use this setup to backup our servers and it works perfect.

Re: [OT] Re: What's the best possible email failover solution
The other advantages is it would scale like nobody's business. Since the data is in postgres, you could use multiple backends (replicated with Slony) and have the IMAP daemons contact different back ends if the load got heavy. With a little work, the system could failover silently as well. It would be very nice indeed. Like I said, we'll never know till someone tries it. It looks like Dovecot is going to try it eventually, but it seems like they have other priorities at this time. Someone already stores mails in a database: Oracle (Email Server and Collaboration Suite). I set up the Oracle Email Server 5.2 for a company I worked for earlier. And to express it nicely: It was a nightmare! Mails got stuck and rejected because the system was not capable of writing them into the database. Besides, the support for that system was also =0. We were probably the only ones daring to run the system ;-) I am glad I am running cyrus now. Extremly stable and fast. That system was not well thought through at all. I don't know how much work needs to be done for a database email store, but Oracle wasn't (isn't) able to do so.

Re: Getting ProFTPD to listen on just one IP address

Hi all, Can anyone enlighten me as to how I get ProFTPD to just listen to one IP address ? I've just installed from ports, so I've got proftpd-1.2.10.r1 I've added the following to my config file : DefaultAddress193.xx.xx.xx I then start ProFTPD and get the following message: - setting default address to 193.xx.xx.xx However, netstat -an | grep 21 shows me this tcp4 0 0 *.21 *.* LISTEN So it's binding to both IP's on the machine. I've tested this and I can definitely FTP to both IP addresses - which is NOT what I want. The reason I'm trying to get this working is that I need 2 different config's on the same machine.
