Ruben Thanks Ruben, Frankly, I don't know an;ymore what I'm doing nor what is going on... it used to be so easy to set up FBSD even if it took a lot of time to compile... but it seems to be getting less and less intuitive and user friendly. How can I break thinkgs up into little bits and pieces without just smashing the whole show to bits and pieces ;-) There are so many problems, I have not idea where to begin. I did a little bit of that for you. You could start by answering the specific questions I asked you above right below where I asked them instead of trying to answer all in just one paragraph and failing that. Oh, yes, csh ? I always set up bash and it never gave me such problems. Did the same just now and again, no problems with the shell. Right now I'm just fixing up a new set up of 7.2 on another disk and we'll see what that does. Then I will re-setup the files I had recoverd, see if they work and then do a last and final install of everything and see if that works. And if there is a problem then, then I will know for sure that it is not a hardware problem. In using computers, in general, over the past 20 plus years I have only had maybe 6 crashes... mostly Winbloz and about 3 with FBSD - and only 1 was because of defective hardware (a disk)... the rest was power outs and 1 erroneous shutdown... not bad ... and I never lost irreplaceable files. :-) Took some time to recover them, but recover did as recover should. Oh, well, before I give it all up, I'm giving it one final shot.

And ed was the simplified (dumbed down) editor for newbies. ed is an interactive program because the user interacts with it.

Well, it helps against this slowloris script. And I don't see it costing much. You're better off adding a request-max-time limit to your webserver, or doing random-drops of existing connections if you get close to your fd or thread limit. I'm exploring these options as well, but they have their own drawbacks.

Running the script from a single client pc: ./slowloris.pl -dns myserver.domain.tld -port 80 -timeout 2000 -num 500 -tcpto 5 -httpready brings apache to its knees. No more connections are accepted as there are allready MaxClients processes running (150) and they're all just sitting there waiting. With accf_http just slightly adjusted as posted, nothing happens at all. Apache just doesn't see the connections, even with multiple clients running the DOS. (Off course, there'll be memory buffers in the kernel filling, but from that I haven't seen any negative side effects yet) accf_http doesn't require a complete request but will also pass the connection to the userland if its buffer is full. Haven't seen that, but it sounds sane. If you continue to send headers that will happen eventually and if you're impatient, you simply have to send a bit more headers at the beginning to reach the application faster. Yes. A real and prolonged DDOS is hard to counter. And the accept filter was not designed for that.

I'd like to make it so that '~' remains S /home/steve, but when I log in, I would prefer to be dropped immediately S into /home/steve/devel. This reminded me of how I deal with lots of directories. If you have a project with files spread all over the place, here's a way to navigate between 20-25 directories with no more than 3-4 keystrokes. First, install the grabchars program: http://examples.oreilly.com/upt3/split/grabchars/grabchars/ It's very useful for capturing and validating keystrokes from within a shell script. For example: ans=`grabchars -q'Answer y or n: '` will print Answer y or n: , and it will store your reply after pressing just one key, no need to hit return. Combine this with a function to change your current directory and you're in business; it has to be done in a shell function rather than a separate script because it modifies your current shell working directory.

slowloris, accf_http and POST requests
Hi, Can enybody explain why the http accept filter only works on GET/HEAD requests? The reason I ask is I was checking up on the slowloris DOS tool (http://ha.ckers.org/slowloris/slowloris.pl) and, like others before me, found that the -httpready switch (which uses POST instead of GET) renders the accf_http module useless as a protection against this kind of attack. Recompiling the module for caching POST requests as well (see small patch below) seems to work. At least the slowloris tool can no longer be used to DOS apache. Also, I've checked that CGI script using POST still work. But I hesitate to go and use this in production. There must have been a reason why POST was not implemented in the http accept filter and doing this might break things?

With the POST request, the client sends additional data after the header. This additonal data is the form data (the x-www-form-urlencoded encoded name-value pairs). The filter will allow the request to proceed to the application after the header as been received but before the form data has been received. A slowloris attack could exploit this fact by sending a complete header but then slowing doling out the form data. Apparently, the current incarnation of the slowloris script doesn't do that, so adding POST to the methods handled by the http accept filter would protect me from script kiddies who want to attack my servers by this method. My main concern here is if applying the trivial patch I posted would break anything in the http protocol layer. And if not, why isn't the POST method included in the http accept filter in the first place? To protect against this scenario, the filter would need to be modified to collect the form data as well. Of course, it doesn't stop there. The filter would also have to deal with multi-part forms. Yes. It's an ongoing struggle. And the filter would probably soon become too complex to maintain in a kernel module :( Disclaimer: This is based on cursory reading of the code. Thank you for you input.

That said, Pod::Perldoc seems to be part of perl-5.8.[8-9] on my systems, so unless you're doing some nonstandard things with this package, I suggest you just pkg_delete the bsdpan package and get on with it.

Re: Recover Deleted File FreeBSD 7.0
Restore from your backups (you DO have backups, don't you?) ;) Otherwise, there's no easy way to do this. If the data you deleted is very valuable, first thing to do is umount the filesystem, preventing the data of the deleted files from being overwritten by any new filesystem writes. There might be some companies specializing in recovering your data, but it'll cost you money. Ik the files are in ascii, you might get some of the data back by using strings, grep, dd and other tools on the disk device.

Actually, the Apache documentation says that one must use USR1 instead of HUP to send a gracefull restart instead of a hangup. This is to let the children httpd processes some time to finish their transactions before the master restarts. It is also for this reason that the logs should not be compressed by newsyslogd. Well yes, this is precisely the reason why we use a SIGHUP (equivalent to apachectl restart) instead of a SIGUSR1 (apachectl graceful). We don't really care about a few broken client connections since the logs are rotated at a quiet time.

Re: LDAP/nss_ldap adduser script
On Wed, Jul 27, 2005 at 10:39:14AM +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: Hi all, I've been using an ldap directory for quite a while now for my network logins, and love it. Problem is, it can be quite cumbersome to work with, any ldap clients I have looked at are either very sketchy or overly cumbersome for simple tasks (adding/removing users etc.), and ldif file format is a major pain to work with. My first question is - is anyone aware of a good light and stable ldap client that is easy to setup and use. My own research suggests no, which leads onto my proposal - I'm planning on writing a few basic scripts for working with the system - a 'ldap_adduser', 'ldap_rmuser' etc. Nothing major, not a full suite of utilities, just the basics to make life a little easier. I've had a look at the adduser script and it should be straight forward enough to tailer to this purpose, and I can't see any difficulties in writing them - check /etc/ldap.conf for the location of the users groups, pops the details into an ldif and runs it through the ldap client. The one thing I am not sure about is getting the next available uid number, but I'm sure the answer will become apparent. So before I get into the meat of this, I wanted to check if anyone has any suggestions or comments. Well, how would you go about determining the default user's set of objectclasses and attributes? e.g. we have in our ldap users with different combinations of sambaSamAccount, posixAccount and courierMailAccount. If you want your script to be flexible enough to provide all possible options, you'll end up writing a very complex script.

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
I want to make sendmail (on a 5.3-Release server) leave the
host name out of
the sender address when sending mail from that machine.
I.E. mail from root currently has a sender address of
[EMAIL PROTECTED], I
want it to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead.
Not possible, I think, as I recall masquerading only works on
users not in the T macro. (ie: Trusted Users) root is
most definitely in this macro.
Actually, I believe it's the EXPOSED_USERS macro, and it can be
adjusted; e.g. in sendmail.cf:
C{E}root
just remove the root user from this line. In conjunction with a
MASQUERADE_AS macro, this will allow root to send email coming from
your domain without your hostname.
If you do this then lots of messages generated by the system will
suddenly start generating (at best):
X-Authentication-Warning: myhost.foo.bar: root set sender to
someuser using -f
Sorry, but this simply isn't true. I have just tested this. Warnings
like this might get generated when you remove root from the
TRUSTED_USERS macro; *NOT* when you remove it from EXPOSED_USERS.
It also makes it harder to troubleshoot when someone external to
your system is sending bogus junk to you.
I agree. As I said in the part of my message you snipped:
BTW, I agree that masquerading is NOT the proper way to do these things.
And while it's not applicable now, with older versions of sendmail
this would definitely break all your scripts that used e-mail.
Use of the -f flag is what he needs to do.
Fine. But the OP's problem concerned mail send by cron. How would you
instruct cron to use the -f flag? (There's a MAILTO environment
variable in cron, but no MAILFROM)

Masquerading is a bullshit way of doing this kind of

as a MUA, then get a better one like Elm or Pine that
lets you do this.

important - disk access can be an insurmountable bottleneck for high
volume systems if it is neglected at the implemenation stage.
I only wanted a system lib call because I trust FreeBSDs implementation
to be faster than my quick throw together.
I've already written it. It's not pretty, and probably not as fast as a
system lib would be (it has to make 1 system call per directory in the
path, rather than just one system call for the whole path). It is,
however, much faster than a call to system() would be.
Actually, the mkdirp(3GEN) library routine in Solaris probably makes the
same amount of system calls as your implementation:
uname -sr
SunOS 5.9
cat mkdirp.c
#include libgen.h
#include sys/stat.h
#define path /tmp/a/b/c/d
int main(void) {
mkdirp(path,S_IRWXU);
}
gcc -lgen -o mkdirp mkdirp.c
truss ./mkdirp | tail -10
mkdir(/tmp/a/b/c/d, 0700) Err#2 ENOENT
access(/tmp/a/b/c, 0) Err#2 ENOENT
access(/tmp/a/b, 0) Err#2 ENOENT
access(/tmp/a, 0) Err#2 ENOENT
access(/tmp, 0) = 0
mkdir(/tmp/a, 0700) = 0
mkdir(/tmp/a/b, 0700) = 0
mkdir(/tmp/a/b/c, 0700) = 0
mkdir(/tmp/a/b/c/d, 0700) = 0
_exit(-13163152)
cheers,
Ruben

Re: [Repost] Logging to custom file via syslog [was]: php log to own syslog file
On Mon, Jan 24, 2005 at 12:18:46PM -0500, Gerard Samuel typed: I think this is a FreeBSD problem. It's not. Here is what I have. 1. I removed my initial modification of /etc/syslog.conf, and added - user.=info /var/log/php.log According to syslog.conf man page, that should mean, any syslog events that come is as LOG_USER, and only LOG_INFO, should be appended to /var/log/php.log 2. I HUPped syslogd. 3. Im using logger to try to add a message to the log file like - gladiator# logger -s -p user.info test gsam: test But unfortunately, the message test doesn't appear in /var/log/php.log OR /var/log/messages. I currently have the file /var/log/php.log chmodded to 777. Im including my syslog.conf file. Can anyone tell me, as to why, Im unable to log these tests?
