truss output of ssh Bus error (core dumped)

2006-03-07 Thread Jim Arnold
Thanks to member Lowell Gilbert I was able to run truss and generate 
output from my ssh Bus error (core dumped) problem. This only happens 
when I try to ssh out of the box as a normal user. I can ssh out as 
root. I"ve posted the file at http://www.jimarnold.org/truss.ssh.txt 
to see if anyone can decipher if for me.


I am running 4.11-STABLE and openssh-3.6.1_5

The file ends with:

getpid() = 32210 (0x7dd2)
SIGNAL 10
SIGNAL 10
Process stopped because of:  16
process exit, rval = 138

Thanks,
Jim

cannot ssh as user only as root

2006-03-05 Thread Jim Arnold
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?


Thanks for any ideas.

Re: fetchmail core dumping

2006-02-21 Thread Jim Arnold

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.

Thanks,
Jim

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!

Rob.

 I must have been using the module with 4.7 stable since I did not
 have that in the kernel I was running with 4.7. After I upgraded to
 4.11 and IPF was not working I edited my kernel config file to
 uncomment the lines for IPF and then compiled the new kernel. I still

No, it's still there as long as you build modules.  If you have
NO_MODULES in your make.conf, you won't, of course.

Attachment converted: osx:Untitled 3599 (/) (000B9F03)
I'm using the same /etc/make.conf file when I first put this box 
online in 2002. In that make.conf
file the line is commented out:

#NO_MODULES=true# do not build modules with the kernel
But the question for me is still, how did this work in 4.7 if the 
above was commented out in my /etc/make.conf file and I did not have 
these uncommented in my kernel config file when I built my
custom kernel for 4.7?

Problem connecting with Netatalk 2.0

2004-10-20 Thread Jim Arnold
I upgraded netatalk from 1.5 to 2.0 and now cannot
connect to my FreeBSD box.

I've altered the netatalk.sh file to this:

netatalk_enable=${netatalk_enable-"YES"}
atalkd_enable=${atalkd_enable-"YES"}
papd_enable=${papd_enable-"NO"}
cnid_metad_enable=${cnid_metad_enable-"NO"}
afpd_enable=${afpd_enable-"YES"}
timelord_enable=${timelord_enable-"NO"}

When I start netatalk I do get this warning - 

spike# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/netatalk.sh start
dc0: multicast may not work correctly.

- but it then starts up

jim 72165  0.0  0.7  4044 1740  ??  I 9:41AM  
0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/afpd -s

0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/afpd -s
/usr/local/etc/AppleVolumes.system -f
/usr/local/etc/AppleVolumes.default

When I connect from my Mac (10.3.5) I get the dialog
box to enter in my login and password
for the volume on the FreeBSD box, but the box to
select the volumes I want to mount is empty.
I do have a tilde at the end of the
AppleVolumes.default file.

I tried to use NFS and it worked without a hitch,
except transferring files to the FreeBSD box via NFS
is
MUCH slower than using netatalk. I still have another
box running the older netatalk so I could time a file
copying to each system and was surprised to see how
slow NFS is compared to using Netatalk.

Any ideas what I'm missing?

Thanks,
Jim

Hm. Well, I did have both
/usr/src/refuse
/usr/sup/refuse
and they both had other languages in them.

I don't remember adding them but that's not saying
much   ;)

I'll try removing those files and do another run at
updating the ports. Thanks for the help.

I'm missing a few ports collections such as Japanese
and Russian. Now when I try to run portsdb -Uu after
CVSUPing the ports collection I get an error of a

Re: DSS for freeBSD

2003-12-29 Thread Jim Arnold
Hi, I received responses from the lister that there is
a port, and also it's possible to use the source code
for DSS 5 and run it on freeBSD 5.1. I found a port in
/usr/ports, but when i run it, it ask me to go to
apple web site to download freebsd version of DSS.
However freeBSD version of DSS is not there. I've
downloaded the source, but I want to learn how I could
make it work with freeBSD 5.1. I rather not mess up my
system, so I would like to know what changes I need to
make to make DSS work.--

It looks like the port is out of date. The Apple
website has version 5 of the code but the FreeBSD port
is stil pointing to 4.1.

On my ports collection I also can't build expect.  It seems that ld(1)
doesn't understand -Wl option, actually this is a option of gcc(1) for
the linker.  Check output of "ld --help" and man page for gcc.
When "make WITHOUT_X11=yes build" reaches that error message on my system,
I modified expect's Makefile (in the work directory) and successfully
build expect from ports collection.
Modification: change "-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib" to "-rpath /usr/local/lib"
in expect's Makefile.
Right now I can run expect, but more tests should be done if above
mentioned modification is correct.
I suppose that this a bug and appropriate PR should be sent to FreeBSD.


After I added NO_X=yo to my /etc/make.conf file I was able to build expect.

 any idea how to fix this? must have started when I update OpenSSL or

Here's what is happening: wget was compiled with OpenSSL 0.9.6.  But
now that you run it, it is finding OpenSSL 0.9.7 (which is not binary
compatibile).  To determine why that is, the output from the following
will be helpful:

This is what I guess:  At some time in the past, you installed the
OpenSSL port, and then you built the wget port.  Now, perhaps you've
removed the OpenSSL port.  This leaves a very confused wget:  It wants
OpenSSL 0.9.6 to be called libcrypto.so.3.
To get around this I re-installed wget and it worked. But I'm 
wondering if anything else is broken or how to really fix this.

Thanks!

2003-01-11 Thread Jim Arnold
When exactly do you see the message?  Right after you login?


As soon as I hit the connect button after typing in the IP address of 
the FreeBSD box or using
the afp address.

Can you
send your AppleVolumes.default


This just has the ~ (tilde) at the end so the home directory will get mounted


as well as your afpd.conf files?


Everything in this file is commented out. In the file this is noted:
"The simplest case is to not have an afpd.conf"
I've always run Netatalk without anything in this file without any problems.


Does
the user you're logging in as have a valid shell?


Yes.

Do you have a custom volume icon on this server?  If so, try deleting
it, then reconnection.



Nope. Nothing fancy. Just a straight install of Netatalk and I didn't 
change any of the icons.

Netatalk - Mac OS X connection problem

2003-01-11 Thread Jim Arnold
I am running netatalk-1.6.0_1,1 from the FreeBSD ports systems on two 
boxes and connecting from Mac OS X 10.2.3.

Now when I connect from one box I get the following error on the mac:

Connection failed

An AppleShare system error occurred.

I can connect to the other box without any problems. Netatalk is 
configured the same on both boxes. This problem came on suddenly.

Below is the log file showing netatalk starting up.

This is a stumper.

Please also cc me on any email as I can no longer subscribe to the list.

Thanks,
Jim

I thought your goal was to fix your Postfix so that mx1.freebsd.org
talks to it. You *can't* test this if you relay throu RR's MTA.
   
1) Comment out the relayhost parameter in $config_directory/main.cf
   and "postfix reload".

Done. As a test I sent an email to my yahoo account and saw the following:
Received: from 204.210.211.15  (EHLO a11d015.neo.rr.com) (204.210.211.15)



2) Send a subscription request to [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Done. Actually three times. Each time I get back the first email but 
not the second one to verify the account

3) Watch your /var/log/maillog for mail coming in from freebsd.org.
   If majordomo sends you one of the two messages, it most probably
   sends the other one, too. Or at least I can't think of a
   situation when it wouldn't do so.



Here is one of the majordomo emails coming back:

is your outside IP static, or DHCP?

static:
   
a) 1. put hostname="a11d015.neo.rr.com" in /etc/rc.conf
   2. let postfix get it from gethotname()
b) 1. leave /etc/rc.conf as it is
   2. put myhostname = a11d015.neo.rr.com in
  $config_directory/main.cf

DHCP:

can't really help, but ISTR the DHCP client can update it's hostname
from the server. if this is true:

1. configure DHCP to update the hostname from the server
2. put myhostname = a11d015.neo.rr.com in $config_directory/main.cf

but I might be on crack.


Roman,

I put a11d015.neo.rr.com as my hostname in Postfix and everything

with this new setup but it doesn't seem to work. I get a response

as an authorization key but that email never arrives.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem as you. I am no longer able to send questions 
in via my regular POP account. It suddenly stopped working a few 
months back as far as I can tell. Once I unsubscribed from the list I 
could THEN post a question.

I use RoadRunner cable modem but use my work email address as the 
return email address.  Roman, are you saying that's why I cannot post 
to the list?

I don't see how this helps fight spam if I can post to the list from 
an account that is no longer subscribed to the list. Plus, I have to 
believe there are many, many people like me who use their work email 
addresses as their return email address from other ISP's

Now I have to jump through flaming hoops of fire so I can both 
subscribe to the list and post to it.

Guess I'm not buying into this theory...

several 5's and several 8-port switches. All told it was around $350.

As a test I created a 100 MB file. 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! With each test I transferred the file 
three times to check for variances, which there were none.

You can also use XMMS to do this. As per the handbook at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-mp3.html:

16.3.4 Decoding MP3s

In order to burn an audio CD from MP3s, they must be converted to a
non-compressed WAV format. Both XMMS and mpg123 support the output of MP3 to an
uncompressed file format.

Writing to Disk in XMMS:

1.

Launch XMMS.

2.

Right-click on the window to bring up the XMMS menu.

3.

Select Preference under Options.

4.

Change the Output Plugin to ``Disk Writer Plugin''.

5.

Press Configure.

6.

Enter (or choose browse) a directory to write the uncompressed files to.

7.

Load the MP3 file into XMMS as usual, with volume at 100% and EQ 
settings turned
off.

8.

Press Play -- XMMS will appear as if it is playing the MP3, but no 
music will be
heard. It is actually playing the MP3 to a file.

9.

Be sure to set the default Output Plugin back to what it was before in order to
listen to MP3s again.

Well, that didn't work... :(

 I just did a build/make kernel/world and now have the
following sound.c file:
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  19990 Nov 18 21:55
/usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pcm/sound.c
I hope this solves the problem. My previous build was
about a month ago.

I've had to reboot my three BSD boxes about 12 times
in total due to this buzzing.

After the rebuild I enabled a few more sounds in Gaim,
such as notification as to when someone logs off. I
had one person logged onto Yahoo and Gaim at the same
time. When they logged off the sounds overlapped each
other and my sound card wigged out and started buzzing
loudly again. Another reboot needed.

Any more ideas?

Sometimes when I use Gaim and I get too many sounds

Having to reboot for this is pretty lame.

If you are going to use a non-standard port you will
also have to add that to the /etc/services file too.
For example, to use port 8080 instead of 80, add this
to the services file:

http 8080/tcp
http 8080/udp

and then change the port from 80 to 8080 in httpd.conf
and restart apace.

See 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#NEW-HUGE-DISK,
which would apply to you.

A few months ago I wrote up "Configuring your home FreeBSD box to run 
Postfix, fetchmail, procmail, qpopper and SpamAssassin." That way I'd 
know how to do it again if needed.

It's available at http://www.jimarnold.org/geekinfo/template.php?id=45

Re: Making MACs and Windows talk

Can you install netatalk so the macs can talk to a the FreeBSD
machine and install samba so the windows people
can talk to the same FreeBSD box?

Then you are using the FreeBSD as a kind of way station.
Maybe I'm missing the point?

Re: Question on order and targets of kernel and world builds

2002-07-16 Thread Jim Arnold
Title: Re: Question on order and targets of kernel and
world


I would appreciate a bit more information
on the 'world' and 'kernel'
building process. Please point me at the right section of the Handbook
or
Greg's book if there is a succinct description.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html



I have been doing 'CVSUP' followed
by:

# make buildworld
# make installworld
# make buildkernel
# make installkernel

without really knowing if this was a useful order or exactly what I
was
accomplishing with each target. My question is:

 1) Can I 'make buildworld' to create my tools and supporting
files, then
 2) Use the newly made "world" to 'make buildkernel',
and then
 3) 'make installworld; make installkernel' to install these new
filesets
    for general use?

I would like to know if this is an acceptable and conservative way to
do a
rebuild, and to better understand what I
get at each step.

Here are the steps I follow. Note that I previously built a
custom kernel
and I am using that below. Replace "CUSTOM" with
whatever you named your kernel.

Please *read the handbook* as things can get confusing. Not
something you
want to fubar at 2 am. Mergemaster especially can be tricky until
you figure out
what's going on. Good luck.

1.
# cd /usr/obj
# chflags -R noschg *
# rm -rf *

2. #make buildworld

3. #make buildkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM

4. #make installkernel KERNCONF=CUSTOM

5. boot into single user mode

6. #make installworld

7. # cp -Rp /etc
/etc.old

8. # mergemaster
-cv

9. reboot
