Some of the cd burning programs in ports put a little "tick" at the beginning of the cut if you use wave files. This is apparently the wave header getting detected as audio on the playback. What you really want is raw 44100 pcm files, which you can easily get from 'sox' with 'sox inputfile.wav outputfile.raw'. Then use these to make your cd with no 'ticks'. You do this, of course, after using xmms or lame or whatever to make the .wav files. If you compare the .wav and the .raw files, you will see that 44 bytes are missing..that's the 'tick'. You may not even care about this, but it was making me crazier. BTW 'audacity' will input wavs, raw and mp3 and output your choice and let you edit them to boot. -Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

With the hubs in place it took 119 seconds to transfer that file from one BSD box to another on the network. After replacing the hubs with the switches it took 9 seconds to transfer the same file!

Many thanks Matthew, you have been very helpful.

(I am not a Unix guru actually) Fear not: security patches are very well tested and should do what they claim without unpleasant side effects. Even if there were problems with a patch in the early stages, it would soon be detected and corrected -- as there hasn't been a security patch since FreeBSD-SA-03:07.sendmail at the end of March, I don't think you have to worry on that score. 1) Do I have to apply the security patches in a specific order? Preferably in the order that they were issued, although you can probably get away with a different order for patches that apply to distinct parts of the sources. 2) Is there a chance were a patch requires a previous one? (In my case some patches are not applicable) Source patches will generally be made against the previous patch level of which ever release branch is involved. So, yes, you will have to apply pre-requisite patches in some circumstances. Any necessary prerequisites will be documented in the advisory: Eg. see ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA- 03%3A06.openssl.asc which states: 2) To patch your present system: The following patches have been verified to apply to FreeBSD 4.6, 4.7, and 5.0 systems which have already been patched for the issues resolved in FreeBSD-SA-03:02.openssl. 3) What if the code is not in the state that the patch requires? (For instance if I have updated that port) FreeBSD security advisories generally only apply to the base system, and patches will only be issued for the system sources. Security problems to do with ported software are usually announced via security notices. In general, you should use cvsup(1) to update your ports tree and a tool like portupgrade(1) to update any ports software. Note that ports don't follow the same -CURRENT, -STABLE, -RELEASE structure as the system sources. At most, all that happens is the ports tree will be tagged in CVS as a record of it's state when a particular release was made. When updating, you should simply aim to install the latest available versions of ported software. In fact, as a general mechanism to keep your system sources up to date, I'd recommend that you use cvsup(1) to track the RELENG_4_7 branch. This will effectively act as an automated mechanism to apply the same security patches as released separately, but with less chance of operator error. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html for instructions -- you should base any supfile you use on /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile, which apart from not specifying which cvsup server to use is pretty much all you need to keep your 4.7-RELEASE sources up to date. (The ports-supfile in the same directory will do the equivalent for the ports sources.) 4) Are the patches clever enough to protect me from harming my system? No. You need to take care and think about what you're doing while updating the system. Having said that, the patches aren't unduely difficult to use, and if you follow the instructions you'll be just fine. 5) Is there a safe way to undo a patch? Make sure you have good backups, which you have tested to ensure you can recover the system.

(I am not a Unix guru actually) Is there any particular reason you don't want to use cvsup(1) against the "security" or "current" branches? Release 4.7 is still supported by the Security Team, after all. See the Handbook if you don't know what this means. Recompiling the whole system seems a little scary to me, but I thing that I am going to do it anyway! 1) Do I have to apply the security patches in a specific order? Sometimes, yes, sometimes, no. It will depend on whether any one source module has been updated (or not, more to the point) before. 2) Is there a chance were a patch requires a previous one? (In my case some patches are not applicable) Yup; see above, especially where the kernel is concerned. Even if a patch is for source a module that has never been patched before, it might depend on function asdf() in another source module being "proper" from it's (the patch's) own point-of-view. 3) What if the code is not in the state that the patch requires? (For instance if I have updated that port) Um, this is a tricky question. The answer could go either way. The nasty situation is when a source module isn't current enough for the patch to apply, but it should have the patch's functionality. 4) Are the patches clever enough to protect me from harming my system? Yes. If you use the patch(1) utility judiciously (correctly?), it can/will rename the existing file(s) being patched to *.bak. The script(1) utility is a Good Thing(tm) if you're patching things in an ad hoc manner; it'll let you "go back" further than the scroll-back of a console or xterm to see what was actually done. 5) Is there a safe way to undo a patch? Yup; see above. The patch(1) utility also understands "reverse patches", though I've not used that functionality. Note: I'm not a developer or committer.

About newsyslog behavior
Hi list, I am using the newsyslog utility to turn over my log files automatically. I have noticed that some processes have problem to continue using their log file after newsyslog has turned it over and need to receive the SINGHUP signal to re-start logging correctly. However sending SINGHUP has uncomfortable consequences in some cases (for instance when sending signal to netatalk, or other file servers perhaps). I suspected that some processes are confused because a *new* log file is created and these processes are making the assumption that their log file will be always the same and perhaps they open it once and then work with the FILE pointer. (just a simple theory that explains some facts) I have confirmed that newsyslog actually creates a new log file (instead of copying it and then disposing its contents) by reading the source of the newsyslog.c file and particularly the dotrim() function. I have also tested that changing the contents of the log files by hand does not affect the logging of most processes (surely not the logging of netatalk). Having the above in mind, isn't it worthwhile to add an option in newsyslog in order to avoid the creation of a new log file when it is inconvenient? Isn't it feasible to dispose the contents of the old log file instead of creating a new one? Anything that I am missing here?

That's 'SIGHUP', although I do like the idea of the kernel singing to it's processes to keep them in line... Sorry about the typo... The use of the SIGHUP signal to tell a long-running process to reconfigure itself, reopen all of it's file descriptors etc. is a very useful convention, but unfortunately it is only a convention -- as you've found out many processes don't follow it. I suspected that some processes are confused because a *new* log file is created and these processes are making the assumption that their log file will be always the same and perhaps they open it once and then work with the FILE pointer.

I have also tested that changing the contents of the log files by hand does not affect the logging of most processes (surely not the logging of netatalk). Yes, this is certainly true. You can confirm that the process in question is holding an open file decriptor on the log file by use of the fstat(1) command. Now, it's entirely possible to cycle log files by essentially: # cp log log.old # cat /dev/null > log (instead of what newsyslog does which is effectively: # mv log log.old # touch log ) but this still has problems. Somehow, you'ld need to tell the process with the open file descriptor that the underlying file had shrunk in size, and that it should do an fseek(stream, 0, SEEK_END) --- other wise, it will write any new data at the same file offset as the former end-of-file, leading to all sorts of weirdnesses. I understand, but I also suspect that there is a very rare possibility to face this kind of problems. (please correct me if I am wrong at this) 1) Many servers (netatalk, samba, apache, etc) are creating many processes which are all using the same log files. Hence, these servers have already solved the above problems somehow. 2) When implementing logging we are always flushing the log file *very* frequently and I believe that this fact is reducing the possibility of facing the above problems. 3) I have done some tests my self and had no problems at all.

(giving the fact that I am not a unix guru, only a C programmer) One thing that might be of use if you're stuck with a program that won't play ball with newsyslog is to use something like cronolog(1) which is in ports as sysutils/cronolog --- see http://www.ford-mason.co.uk/resources/cronolog/ However, this requires that your program can write it's log output to a pipe rather than Interesting if applicable (not in my case I am afraid) directly to a file. cronolog will manage switching to a new log file according to the time and date. Or you could code up a very simple equivalent that reads log messages from it's stdin and writes to the named log file, but that can handle a SIGHUP telling it to reopen the log file.

Re: About newsyslog behavior
Hi Garance, Hi list, I spend some time thinking about all this newsyslog stuff and I am starting to feel that maybe I am making too much noise for minor problems. After all disk space is very cheap and turning over the logs is not something that we have to do very often. In many cases we can even do it by hand! Nevertheless, I will try to explain my thoughts in a better way this time.

In fact newsyslog works OK when the process that creates the log is not a server for other users / computers and reacts correctly to SIGHUP. I have use it my self to turn over the log of "ipmon" (IPF firewall) and everything works great. But sending SIGHUP to a file server (or to an other kind of server perhaps) is something that I want to avoid even if SIGHUP re-opens correctly the logs. AFAIK when a file server (i.e. Netatalk) receives an SIGHUP it closes (gracefully I admit) the connections to its clients. And this happens just because log file is turned over by newsyslog! (too much IMHO) One possible way to reduce these side-effects is to schedule newsyslog to turn over the logs after midnight and avoid rush hours (I am doing that at the moment). This is a practical solution that really helps but its also incomplete. I realize that I am not talking about a major problem here. But I am proposing a solution (to a non major problem) that is very easy to implement. See bellow about the possibility to have race-conditions in a server with many processes. [...] Isn't it feasible to dispose the contents of the old log file instead of creating a new one? Anything that I am missing here? (giving the fact that I am not a unix guru, only a C programmer) If the program does not have some way to REALLY re-open the log file, then the file-pointer might also be pointing to a specific point in the file. Let's say it is at byte 125000 into the file. You empty the file. The next time the program writes to the log file, it will write to byte 125001 (depending on how the program is written). Some programs may work with this strategy, but others will not. I admit that disposing the contents of the old log file instead of creating a new one could be dangerous in some cases and should NOT be the default behavior of newsyslog. I am talking about a per-file basis option and nothing more. I believe that this option can be both useful and harmless when used with most servers. Useful: Because we should always try our best not to interrupt the server-client connection (Which actually happens when sending SIGHUP) Harmless: Because I am talking about typical serves (Netatalk, samba, apache...) that are using many processes which are all writing in the same log file. In these cases we should not expect any race-conditions in the log files because the servers have already solved these problems in order to implement logging for their own processes. (OK there is still a case (in theory) that the processes are handling the logging via interprocess communication instead of re-opening / flushing the logs files locally. IMHO this would be impractical and is not really possible to have such a case in a real world situation! Am I right here?)

natd and redirect_address
We have a FreeBSD machine serving as a NAT gateway for a bunch of computers on a LAN connected to the 2nd network interface the FreeBSD machine. All this works very well using natd and IPDIVERT in the kernel. One of the machines on the inside LAN now needs to be accessable from the internet (which is the outside network interface of the FBSD box). Following the handbook and the natd man page, we added an ip alias for a 2nd public IP to the outside interface and added a rule to natd.conf to redirect packets coming in addressed to the new IP to the inside machine. ( redirect_address privateIP publicIP ) using the new outside IP and the LAN IP of the machine we were trying to see on the LAN.. We set the netmask of the new alias to 255.255.255.255 and the netmask of the "primary" IP to 255.255.255.128 so there was no overlap in the netmasks. To test the setup, we ran VNC server on the inside machine and connected from the 'net to the new public IP. We got connected, but there appears to be no video coming back from the inside machine. Mouse and keyboard are OK, anything coming back is not happening. According to our reading of the docs, this "static NAT" is supposed to be symmetrical. It appears that it is not totally so. We had a similar experience trying to use "redirect_port" for another application running on a LAN machine. It almost worked. In that case, we recorded the inside machine trying to talk to a database server on the 'net with tcpdump and couldn't see where anything was being blocked, but it just didn't work. In that case, the same machine directly on a public IP would work just fine with the application. By the way, if we made a connection using VNC's "-via" option to open a secure tunnel to the FreeBSD machine and than connect over the LAN without redirection, everything worked fine, so this doesn't seem to be a VNC problem. If you fire up a web browser on the inside machine and connect to a web page that reports your IP, we get the 2nd IP of the FreeBSD machine's outside interface, which is as it should be. Can anyone shed any light on why this doesn't work? -Jim ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
no arp who-has replys
I have a network that depends on a Cisco router, not running any routing protocol and not under my control, getting responses to arp who-has messages for routing. I just configured a 4.8-STABLE box as a router and I don't think it is working correctly. My understanding is that when a router knows a route to an ip address, it is supposed to respond to arp who-has messages with an arp reply message giving its own mac address. The fbsd router is not responding even though it has a correct route, has ip forwarding enabled and is seeing the arp who-has messages. Shouldn't it be?

It depends on what smtp software you're using. What you describe sounds like the only way to do it with sendmail; I use postfix which supports it natively without jumping through hoops.

Re: Problems with in the ipf setup in an FreeBSD 4.7 router
Hi Giorgos,
First of all I have to admit that basically you are right. I *must*
avoid changing the xxx_program settings and it does not seem reasonable
(in FreeBSD 4.7) to include the flags into the xxx_program settings.
Flags should be into the xxx_flags settings.
But my old router was an FreeBSD 4.2 - RELEASE box and I just wanted to
change it to FreeBSD 4.7 - RELEASE for security reasons. I was under the
impression that my old rc.conf file should work ok with the new system
and I tried to reuse it (Big Mistake!).
Unfortunately the rc.network file of the FreeBSD 4.7 - RELEASE is
working differently now, and the ipfilter_program setting is not being
used the same way like it was back in FreeBSD 4.2 - RELEASE:
rc.network of FreeBSD 4.2 - RELEASE:
...
${ipfilter_program:-ipf -Fa -f} "${ipfilter_rules}" ${ipfilter_flags}
...
rc.network of FreeBSD 4.7 - RELEASE:
...
${ipfilter_program:-/sbin/ipf} -Fa -f "${ipfilter_rules}" ${ipfilter_flags}
...
In other words [ipfilter_program="/sbin/ipf -Fa -f"] was the correct
setting for the FreeBSD 4.2 - RELEASE but it is incorrect for the
FreeBSD 4.7 - RELEASE. My *big* mistake was that that changing the
ipfilter_program setting was not really necessary for me. I should left
it to its default value! Well I am wiser now thanks to this list, thank
you very much!
Regards,
Jim Xochellis

I'm trying to minimize the amount that has to be done in single-user
mode (I don't have console access; I have to trust my hosting company's
tech support for that part). Is there any serious reason that mergemaster
needs to be run in single-user mode?
Ideally, I'm trying to get something that needs no operator intervention
during single-user mode. Currently, if mergemaster can be run just
before booting into single-user mode, the operator needs to type one
command ("upgrade", a shell script in /root/bin which runs the fsck,
mount, swapon, cd, make installworld, and fastboot commands).

Looking for mail server tool recommendations
I am currently using Postfix/SASL/Courier-IMAP, and am looking for a set of tools that will do what I want. Requirements: - Authenticated SMTP where no password is sent in cleartext (preferably allowing but not requiring TLS) - Authenticated IMAP and POP where no password is sent in cleartext (again preferably allowing but not requiring TLS) - Single user database (not /etc/passwd for login and sasldb for email) - Virtual domain support, preferably such that [EMAIL PROTECTED] can be separate from [EMAIL PROTECTED] - The ability to insert arbitrary headers into outgoing email (I want to insert the Habeas headers) - Maildir support from MTA, IMAP server, and POP server Any suggestions? I *think* I can get the first through third through a combination of SASL and LDAP, if the MTA I choose supports one or the other, including the distinction between [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]; the fourth is not supported by Postfix, so I need to find a different MTA. I don't want to deal with learning the Sendmail arcana, and things I've heard about QMail have put me off of it. Can this be done with Exim, and where would I look for how to configure things? Or is there another MTA that I'm failing to consider?

Re: problem on 1TB filesystem RAID 5 3ware
But the version of 3dmd for FreeBSD is not a current version and lacks
some features found in 3dmd for Linux and Windows. My situation was
that I needed one of the new features in order to rebuild a RAID1 mirror
("ignore errors when rebuilding"; my "good" drive had a bad sector out
in unused space). I won't be installing anymore FreeBSD/3Ware setups.

I installed from the ports collection, but used just the default
configuration. I have looked all through my Postfix config files and
can't find a setting that says it accepts kerberos authentication, but
that could be because it is a default I was unaware of. I am rooting
through postfix docs now.
Both ports (cyrus-sasl and cyrus-sasl2) have the following:
.if defined(KRB5_HOME) && exists(${KRB5_HOME})
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-gssapi=${KRB5_HOME}
.elif defined(HEIMDAL_HOME) && exists(${HEIMDAL_HOME})
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-gssapi=${HEIMDAL_HOME}
.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--disable-gssapi
GSSAPI= "@comment "
.endif
.if exists(/usr/lib/libkrb.a)
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-krb4
.else
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--disable-krb4
EBONES= "@comment "

Check to see if you have either KRB5_HOME or HEIMDAL_HOME set in your
environment or if /usr/lib/libkrb.a exists.

Re: Please help me diagnose this crazy VMWare/FreeBSD 8.x crash
This sounds just like a race condition that happens under Windows 7 on this laptop. The race condition, as far as I can tell involves heavy disk access and heavy network access, and usually leaves the drive light on, while all activity monitors (alldisk, allcpu, allnetwork) are still active, although on this laptop disk takes priority, and network slows to a crawl. occasionally, the mouse will stop working, along with everything else, but usually not. keyboard is lower priority, and doesn't do anything. You might want to check with mickeysoft, this might just be their problem. This sounds so freaking similar to the issue I get, and I think it's a race condition (shared interrupts??). This laptop is a Compaq Presario C300 series, with the 945GM chipset and a T7600 Core2 Duo CPU, with 3G of RAM. Mark Felder wrote: Alright guys, I'm at the end of my rope here. For those that haven't seen my previous emails here's the (not so) quick breakdown: Overview: FreeBSD ?? - 7.4 never crash FreeBSD 8.0 - 8.2 crashes FreeBSD 8-STABLE, 8.3, and 9.0 are untested (Sorry, not possible in our production at this time, and we were hoping we could base some stuff on 8.3 for long term stability...) ESXi: Confirmed ESXi 4.0 - 5.0 has this problem. Haven't tested on others. History: Over the course of the last 2 years we've been banging our heads on the wall. VMWare is done debugging this. They claim it's not a VMWare issue. They can't identify what the heck happens. We had a glimmer of hope with ESXi 5.0 fixing it because we never saw any crashes in the handful of deployments, but our dreams were crushed today -- two days before an outage to begin migration to ESXi 5.0 -- when a customer's ESXi 5.0 server and FreeBSD 8.2 guest crashed. Crash Details: The keyboard/mouse usually stops responding for input on the console; normally we can't type in a username or password. However, we can switch VTs. If there's a shell on the console and we can type, we can only run things in memory. Any time we try to access the disk it will hang indefinitely. The server still has network access. We can ping it without issue. SSH of course kicks you out because it can't do any I/O. If we were to serve a lightweight http server off a memory backed filesystem I'm confident it would run just fine as long as it wasn't logging or anything. On ESXi you see that there is a CPU spike of 100% that goes on indefinitely. No idea what the FreeBSD OS itself thinks it is doing because we can't run top during the crash. This crash can affect a server and happen multiple times a week. It can also not show up for 180 days or more. But it does happen. The server can be 100% idle and crash. We have servers that do more I/O than the ones that crash could ever attempt to do and these don't crash at all. Completely inexplicable. Things we've looked into: Nothing about the installed software matters. We've tried cross referencing the crashed servers by the programs they run but the base OS is the only common denominator due to the wide variety of servers it has affected. Storage doesn't matter. We've tried different iSCSI SANs, we've tried different switches, we've tried local datastores on the ESXi servers themselves. HP servers, Dell servers -- doesn't seem to matter either. (All with latest firmwares, BIOSes, etc) VMWare gave us a ton of debugging tasks, and we've given them gigabytes of debugging info and data; they can't find anything. VMWare tools -- with, without, using open-vm-tools makes no difference. I think we've done a fair job ruling out VMWare. I think we've finally found enough data that this is definitely something in the FreeBSD world. I'm going to begin prepping some of the known crashy servers with more debugging. Any suggestions on what I should build the kernel with? They never do a proper panic, but I definitely want to at least *try* to get into the debugger the next time it crashes. And when it crashes, what the heck should I be running? I've never played with the KDB before...

kde4 on 8.3 and laptop
I had kde3 running just fine on 8.2 on my laptop. I have now installed 8.3 -and- kde4 on my laptop, and the kde system will not work as expected. when I type kdm (which is at /usr/local/kde4/bin/kdm) I get the expected login screen (however the mouse dies), and after I login, all I get is a small cli window in the top left corner. The mouse has gone dead, and the keyboard doesn't respond, altho there is a prompt in the cli window. All I can do at this point is hold the power button in to reboot. If I do not try running "kdm", the normal cli works 100%, the ethernet works, and the mouse always seems alive (altho in the cli the mouse is of no value).

VPS FreeBSD Hosting
I gave up maintaining my own hardware for providing cloud computing services about 10 years ago and have been using several dedicated server services with root-access FreeBSD since about 6.0. with good results. At the time VPS looked like too many problems. Now, however, it looks like there are quite a number of mature VPS hosting services that are FreeBSD-centric at very attractive prices. Most offer KVM or VPS-instance access to allow rebooting and reinstallation. Can anyone comment on the providers and the technology in the context of having used them specifically for FreeBSD in the last few years? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Fairly modest duty - spam filtering, mailboxes, websites, storage, reverse proxy and the like. Oh yeah, some development.

Installing openssl from ports
Hi, I understand that heimdal and openssl are both port of the base system and both install fine with a system build/install. But when I attempt to install the latest openssl for the port system, it fails with a conflict (installs file in the same place) with heimdal. I've search the web for an answer but haven't found one and asked the port owner. So my question is short of editing the Make file to remove the installation of the file in conflict, what do I need to do to install the openssl port?

Re: Blocking an individual email address
No...I ran make maps, as well as make install for the blacklist feature, and make restart. However, here is something interesting. When I access my corporate email via openwebmail, it functions as I would expectyou cannot send or receive to the given address. However, when using Outlook Express (internal mail client at work), you can still send mail to the address I am trying to block.

Re: fetchmail core dumping
I'm running fetchmail-6.3.2_1 on 4.10-STABLE My fetchmailrc file is: set postmaster "postmaster" set bouncemail set no spambounce set properties "" poll 10.229.66.116 with proto POP3 user 'myid' there with password 'mypwd' is 'myid' here Fetchmail has been running perfectly until just the other day, for literally several years, with upgrades along the way. I haven't upgraded anything recently or crashed. I've tried to reinstall fetchmail but no luck there. Googling is not finding anything yet. I have another FBSD box running 4.10 stable with the same version of fetchmail and it's fine. I'm stumped.

Any pointers greatly appreciated. What version of FreeBSD do you use? I have fetchmail-6.3.2_1 installed on a 6-Stable PC. No problems. Does your rc file have the proper syntax? This is mine: # fetchmailrc set invisible set postmaster "postmaster" set no bouncemail set no spambounce set properties "" set daemon 30 poll localhost with proto IMAP port 22143 user 'myid' there with password 'mypasswd' is \ 'myid' here options fetchall folder INBOX.MYMAILBOX Ah, note that I make use of an ssh-tunnel from localhost port 22143 to port 143 on the imap server. You may want to replace 'localhost' and 22143 by your appropriate settings. However, remember that pop3 and imap is too insecure when not using encryption! Regards, Rob. __ Do You Yahoo!?

cannot ssh as user only as root
I cannot ssh out of my box running 4.11-STABLE with openssh-3.6.1_5 while logged in as a normal user. I get a Bus Error (core dumped). But if I try to ssh out as a root it works perfectly. There are no problems ssh'ing into the box. Sound like a permissions problem?
