It is mature and very functional; does what you need.A modern machine with FreeBSD 7.x should handle large numbers of Email users - even heavy users. jerry The only perfect answer!

Re: dump and remote file fetching
On Wed, May 28, 2008 at 9:53 AM, Zbigniew Szalbot [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi there, Need a word of advice. I use dump to backup my data. All fine. Dump saves compressed *.bz2 files. Nice. All I need now is a way to copy them from the server to a remote backup machine. The problem I am facing is that bz2 files are owned by root:wheel. So if I use scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/*.bz2, it does not have sufficient permissions to fetch the files. I can use sudo, but then I need to interactively type the password, which I would like to avoid. Can you suggest simple ways of getting around this? I don't mind using special tools for the job, especially if they are not too complicated... :) Before firing this email off I took a look at rsync and it seems easy enough to do just what I need but still many thanks for suggestions! I have been very happy with rsnapshot. Take that for a spin and see how it works for you I have taken a look at rsnapshot but it seems I am left to deal with the same problem: From their page: In addition to full paths on the local filesystem, you can also backup remote systems using rsync over ssh. If you have ssh installed and enabled (via the cmd_ssh parameter), you can specify a path like: backup [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/ example.com/ This behaves fundamentally the same way, but you must take a few extra things into account. a/ The ssh daemon must be running on example.com b/ You must have access to the account you specify the remote machine, in this case the root user on example.com. I do not allow remote root login so what are my options in that case? How do you deal with such a scenario? Many thanks! HI ZS, I used to do something like this with a very simple shell script, using ftp. In the script, I was simply checking the filename, extracting the date from it, comparing the date with today's date, and pushing into a nother server all files that are dated yesterday. These were log files created using another script, which would create them like main.MMDD.log. IIRC, ftp relies on a file ~/.netrc which can have the destination hostname, username and password. With these, ftp will be automated - no need to enter any logon credentials. Please read the man page for ftp on how to use the netrc file or the ~/.netrc If you need more assistance, find me off list:-) Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Oh My God!

Anyway, my current BSD machine is a dedicated one so I can do with it what I like but I am not really sure how to go about installing two versions of php. php5 has been installed from ports and works well. The main issue here is: Which php would you want Apache to refer to, and at what time? Honestly, I don't have an answer for this!. Perhaps you have to run a whole different system within a jail:-( There may be an easier way, but when I read this, that is where my /etc (end of thinking capacity) got me for now. How would you advise me to go about installing php4? I do not think I will be able to do it from ports (it will require an ancient version of php 4.10). Also I do not want to mix dependencies and such. Another issue is how to host the site. Use a different port for it (*:8080)? Use jails (never been in jail so no experience with it so far ;)? Why not just use the final version of php-4.x.x? Even this breaks your site? I do have several IPs to play with so I can use them if that helps. Use a jail. I'd appreciate your opinion about it.

Nightmares installing kde-3.5.5
Bon Anee! I have been trying to install kde-3.5.5 onto my box for 4 days now without success. I have even wiped out 3.5.3 (which is what I was running before) but still 3.5.5 wouldn't install. The problem is somewhere around kdelibs3 and cups but I cannot figure out how to go around it. I'd appreciate some help on what I need to do. I'd like to start the new year with brand new kde!

Calculate the time of last modification of a file
Hiya,
I hope you had a merry Christmas ;)
I am trying to determine the time of last modification of a file,
on FreeBSD.
The following code achieves the same on Linux:
# AGE = (current time) - (time of last modification of $FILE)
# please check your systems 'stat' command!
AGE=$(($(date +%s) - $(stat -c '%Y' $FILE)))
test $AGE -lt $DELAY {
echo -n yes
exit 0
}
Here is the whole bash script, just so that everything is clear:
cut
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
test -t 0 trap echo EXIT
NAME=$1; shift
DELAY=${1:-600}; shift
BASE=${1:-/var/run/greydata}; shift
NAME=${NAME//.//}
DIR=$BASE/${NAME%/*}
FILE=$DIR/${NAME##*/}
test -d $DIR || mkdir -p $DIR
test -f $FILE || {
$FILE
echo -n yes
exit 0
}
# AGE = (current time) - (time of last modification of $FILE)
# please check your systems 'stat' command!
AGE=$(($(date +%s) - $(stat -c '%Y' $FILE)))
test $AGE -lt $DELAY {
echo -n yes
exit 0
}
read $FILE
echo -n no
exit 0
/cut
The `stat -c` is illegal for FreeBSD. However I don't seem to understand
clearly what the man page for stat is telling me, to enable me make this
work.

Dummynet in an IPFilter setup
Hiya,
Since freebsd-ipfw is dead and mostly for spammers, let me try my luck
here once more ;)
I am trying to prove a point to a customer - that he can save the cost
of expensive routing hardware by just having a FreeBSD box on their LAN.
Unfortunately, this also means that I need to spend days reading about
IPFW, which, sincerely, is not one of those firewall implementations
that is easy for me. I therefore need help to prove a point and keep
a customer..
The scenario:
I am running a FreeBSD 5.x box with IPFilter/IPNAT. The box has two
interfaces at the moment, external interface connected to the hostile
Internet and internal interface connected to a switch for the LAN.
The ISP gives 256Kbit/s on the external interface. Out of this, I
need to dedicate/guarantee 128Kbit/s to just one machine.
A streaming server has been introduced on the LAN, and it is considered
a VIP host as far as bandwidth allocation is concerned.
The problem is that p2p is also officially allowed on the LAN. I hate
it but it is allowed. Period. No argument about it.
I need to guarantee 128Kbit/s of the available bandwidth to the
streaming host (server, if you can call it).
My thinking/plan:
1. Add one more NIC to the FreeBSD box (it's also the router,
firewall, _everything_ server) and put this on a separate IP block.
To this NIC I will connect the VIP host, which needs the guaranteed
bandwidth. I will therefore NAT traffic to/from it.
2. Restrict the current LAN hosts to 128Kbit/s via ipfw pipe. To me,
this means that:
(a) They cannot go beyond 128Kbit/s
(b) The VIP box will go above 128K/bit's in case the throttled
LAN is not using all of the 128Kbit/s
I need to control bandwidth on the external interface only, not on the
LAN (internal interfaces).
Is this rightful thinking or sheer imagination which is not practical?
My problem:
Most important is being dumb when it comes to IPFW and hence the pipes
and all that pertains to it.
Here is my ipfw configuration, in black and white (firewall_type=OPEN)
# Outside interface network and netmask and ip
oif=bfe0
iif=xl0
onet=62.8.68.0
omask=255.255.255.252
oip=62.8.68.22
# Inside interface network and netmask and ip
iif=xl0
inet=10.0.0.0
imask=255.255.255.0
iip=10.0.0.2
ipfw pipe 1 config bw 128Kbit/s
# Allow any traffic to or from my own net.
${fwcmd} add pass all from ${iip} to ${inet}:${imask}
${fwcmd} add pass all from ${inet}:${imask} to ${iip}
# Throttle now
ipfw add pipe 1 tcp from $${inet}:${imask} to any out via ${oif} state
${fwcmd} add 65000 pass all from any to any
With this configuration, it seems like even LAN-LAN communication is
being restricted to 128Kbit/s. I am not sure why, as simple as it looks!
Can someone tell me why that is happening?
Now, supposing the 3rd NIC was on 10.0.1.0/24 network, and there is no
bandwidth limitation configuration, is it not true that I will have
achieved my goal?
I'll simply give the FreeBSD box 10.0.1.1 and the VIP box 10.0.1.2 and
have a static route for the VIP box, with NAT for any connections
to/from it.
I'll really appreciate any help/advise towards a perfect configuration
for the firewall, and how I can get this to work.
Thanks in advance.

Bill, you did not say anything on my problem with intra-LAN traffic.
Does that mean this configuration is okay, and should not at all affect

ipfw - bandwidth throttling (sanity check!)
Hello Security guy ;) I have tried very hard to understand ipfw just for the purpose of bandwidth throttling for smtp service.

FreeBSD as a VPN Server/Router
I am going to venture into the field of the security gurus so help me God! It looks like I am gonna get stuck in wet cement, I can feel it;) I have two sites, siteA and siteB. Each site has a horde of Windows PCs behind a FreeBSD box, which acts as a firewall/router/proxy/everything:) Each site has got a dedicated connection to an ISP. At the moment it's the same ISP, if that matters, but my thinking is that it can be any ISP. I have a challenge of establishing a WAN between the two sites. They are geographically apart. In this scenario, siteA has several applications running on several windows servers which are behind the FreeBSD box. The challenge is to allow siteB to access these applications securely via the WAN setup. VPN comes straight to mind, but this is a new area to me. The boxes are both FreeBSD 5.5-STABLE. I am looking for pointers/clues on how to do the setup in a clean way, while adhering to K.I.S.S as closely as possible. If extra hardware (other than the FreeBSD boxes) is required so that the WAN is efficient, I'd be happy to know. I am very optimistic on pulling this one off, since I belong to a community full of security experts (FreeBSD users).

Re: rebooting and crashes on dell server
I had a very similar experience with a Dell PowerEdge 2800 recently, not even 3 weeks have elapsed! The problem, as we realized from some Dell engineer, was with the firmware on the mobo of this model. I was running FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE on the box. I bought HP ML350, migrated the whole setup to it and no problems even as I speak now! I am still waiting for a replacement motherboard from Dell (local vendor) for the 2800. There is a Dell 2850 that I setup as a server for a client, using FreeBSD 5.2.1. It's been running rock solid, and the only update I ever did was to update it to 5.2.1-patch14, which it will never go beyond, as I see no need. So, the moral of the story?

If you know how to use cvsup, then in your supfile for the source tree, you could change the tag to: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6_1_0_RELEASE (This will give you 6.1-RELEASE). Then just run cvsup: cvsup -g -L 2 /path/to/supfile Now read the UPDATING: less /usr/src/UPDATING If you've been updating sources and UPDATING before, then reading this file almost tells you everything you need to know, and even what is likely to bite you.

Installing FreeBSD-4.11 on Dell PowerEdge 2800
Hi, I just need some pointers towards installing FreeBSD 4.11 on a Dell PowerEdge 2800 with 4GB RAM, Dual CPU, with 1TB disk storage on RAID 5. I have a production system that I am not willing to upgrade beyond 4.11 at all as it is rock solid as it is.;) Currently it's running on HP ML 350 but I have acquired this Dell which I'd like to migrate it to. I have read some posts about PAE in the kernel so as to recognize my 4GB RAM. Basically, I have tested the install using a 4.10 CD, but this was meant to only do a mininal install before I do a few things here and there that would make it run as expected. I am fairly conversant with those aspects. The problem right now is that it tells me it did not find my disk ;) I could be missing a few things that are must-know, so pointers, please. -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php -- +==+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington[EMAIL PROTECTED] Zzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +==+ What is worth doing is worth the trouble of asking somebody to do. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You have to decide on what steps to take - either deinstall the /usr/ports/security/openssl and rely on the one from the base system or use it as is. For the purposes of your current problem, Exim is assuming you are using TLS, which is what is pulling in the openssl dependency. If you don't really need TLS support on Exim, then do: cd /usr/ports/mail/exim make -DWITHOUT_TLS ..and proceed from there... I'd advise you to rely on utils like /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade or /usr/ports/sysutils/portmanager to manage your ports.

Problem with IPFilter/IPNAT
I am using IPFilter and IPNat on several FreeBSD boxes. They are mostly configured the same. Each box has two interfaces, public and internal, and acts as a router to the LAN which is 'behind' it. The LAN machines use the FreeBSD as the gateway, as well as a DNS server. I run cache-only config. The problem I have is that when, for any reason, the public link goes down, the machines on the LAN timeout when communicating. I can simulate this by simply pulling out the connection from the $ext_iface (assume this is ADSL or something like that) which is connected to the ISP upstream. I don't know if it is my NAT configuration causing this. Here is the /etc/ipnat.rules that I use: I'd want a situation where network communications within the LAN should not be affected when the circuit to the ISP is down since it is only used for web traffic and for the mail server on the FreeBSD router to send outbound e-mails, not local e-mails. cut # rl0 is the internal interface. rl1 is external interface. # These redirection rules are to force users on the LAN # to go through Squid cache. # First we let this machine access itself because there is a web server # on it. # Redirect direct web traffic to local web server. rdr rl0 192.168.100.31/32 port 80 - 192.168.100.31 port 80 tcp rdr rl0 192.168.100.31/32 port 443 - 192.168.100.31 port 443 tcp # Transparently redirect all outgoing web traffic through squid on # port 3128 rdr rl0 0.0.0.0/0 port 80 - 127.0.0.1 port 3128 # Also all SMTP Connections must go via localhost rdr rl0 0.0.0.0/0 port 25 - 127.0.0.1 port 25 # Now do NAT, but only for packets that are NOT local. map rl1 from 192.168.100.0/24 ! to 192.168.100.0/24 - 0/32 portmap tcp/udp auto map rl1 from 192.168.100.0/24 ! to 192.168.100.0/24 - 0/32 /cut What am I missing or doing wrong here??? -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +==+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington[EMAIL PROTECTED] Zzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +==+ Due to lack of disk space, this fortune database has been discontinued. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ping by IP addresses works. However, I have not tried ping by hostname since I have not setup any DNS or host entries for the machines on the LAN. I did not think this is a REQUIREMENTS at all.

Device access - /dev/ipnat
Hello FreeBSD lovers, In the current FreeBSD ports, squid-2.5STABLE10 has a patch that allows it to run without dying even though it does not have access to /dev/ipnat. This access is important where squid is running in a transparent proxy setup. I am running several FreeBSD 5.x boxes with squid in transparent proxy mode, so this problem is a big one for me. The patch seems to be a workaround, but I'd really like to give squid access to this device anyway. My thinking was that I can solve the problem of access to /dev/ipnat using /etc/devfs.conf. However, my reading of the comments in this file does not give me any clear method of achieving what I want. Am I right in my thinking that /dev/ipnat device is created on the fly in FreeBSD 5.x? As such I cannot change the permissions on it, yes? How do I solve my problem, if anyone can advise me? It will server as my first lesson with devices in 5.x.

Running PPP via crontab
Hello everyone, I have setup a FreeBSD box which a friend of mine will run as a mail server/firewall in his SOHO, using dialup (modem) to his ISP. Almost everything is setup and running, even ppp can work when I manually run through the dialup procedure. I don't have much problem configuring what he will run on this box, but one aspect has pinned me down. The ppp _MUST_ not run in auto or ondemand modes. It must be initiated manually. I would like to make a crontab entry that will run ppp after every one hour. I don't have a problem with crontab, but how to invoke ppp via it ;) I'd appreciate some hand-holding here.

Re: Running PPP via crontab

Hello Andrew, et al, I figured out I could use ppp -background sucks (where sucks is the ISP label in ppp.conf). This seems to be what I am looking for, no?? I can run it on the command line. I hope it will do same thing via cron. -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +==+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington[EMAIL PROTECTED] Zzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +==+ One way to make your old car run better is to look up the price of a new model. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RFC 2005 - mounting two slices from 2 different disks to same mount point ;)
Hello Gang! On FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE, we have mounted slices as follows: -bash-2.05b$ mount /dev/ad0s3a on / (ufs, local) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) /dev/ad0s3e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s3f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s3d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) devfs on /var/named/dev (devfs, local) /dev/ad0s5 on /drive_d (msdosfs, local) /dev/ad3s1d on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s3e was 500MB /dev/ad3s1d was 40GB In /etc/fstab, we specified the mount point for both to /tmp. We then wrote a 1GB file to /tmp and there was no error. The file was successfully written. Can an expert with disks tell me where the file was written? How did the system decide where to write the file? How did it select /tmp in this case? Linux guys have talked about disk spanning using the method we just tested. I am wondering the dangers I face doing such a thing!! Happy Easter to ye all!! -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html -- +==+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington[EMAIL PROTECTED] Zzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +==+ Gee, Toto, I don't think we are in Kansas anymore. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
