Re: Problems with MySQL and SNORT after Reboot

2004-12-30 Thread Scott Kupferschmidt
Hello,

You need to login to mysql command prompt and do a REPAIR TABLE event; in
that database, and it will clear it right up.

Re: Changing SendMail Port Number

The only problem with listening on port 24 is no one is going to be able
to send mail to you, as smtp listens on port 25.

Re: Adding Virtual Host IPs Takes Too Long

2004-03-12 Thread Scott Kupferschmidt
Hello,

The intel "em" drivers are terrible under FreeBSD and seem to re-add
routes or do something funky when you add new IP's.  The Dell 1650's have
those cards in them and we notice it all the time, unfornautely.

Try using a quality ethernet card such as fxp or bge and you will not have
that problem.

We are not running X, this is a server it is happening on.  The only thing

/dev/null permission issues

2003-09-13 Thread Scott Kupferschmidt
Hello,

I know I've sent in once before regarding, but no one has seemed to know
how to fix this issue.  It seems when I install boxes with 4.8-rel cd the
/dev/null changes permission every minute to non-writable by any user,
breaking a lot of scripts piping output to /dev/null.  Anytime I try chmod
666 it, within the next clock minute, it's back to 644.

I've tried rebuilding the device completely, cvsup'ing to a newer version
(4.9-pre), nothing seems to fix it and it only seemed to happen on
machines that I originally installed with 4.8-rel.  If anyone has some
insight on this issue, it would be greatly appreciated as I am pulling
hair trying to figure out this problem.

Re: which FreeBSD?

2003-07-01 Thread Scott Kupferschmidt
FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE would be your best bet.

While the machine is a little much just for 10 users, think of
expandability for the future.  There may be a need for the extra power
later on, so it is good that you are using this hardware.  I'm sure one
can think of other things to use a FreeBSD box other than just mail and
DNS :-)

Re: Two DNS servers with one IP address

2003-06-17 Thread Scott Kupferschmidt
Hello,

It certainly is possible to register two nameservers with the same IP
address.  While it serves no real purpose to do so, if you require 2 NS's
then you can.  Check with your registrar.  We do that here on our virtual
servers just because it's easier and really, if the server goes down,
that's it.  No point in having the DNS up if the entire server is down for
us.

The exception to the rule is where we have other NS's for everything else
that is redundant, especially for dedicated customers.  Hope this helps
out.

Re: key barriers

2003-06-15 Thread Scott Kupferschmidt
Hello,

FreeBSD should be able to support any newer java version without
problems.  Most people compile from ports, however there should be
something available -- you should find out what his version needs actually
are, and base off that.

Also, FreeBSD is immune to many exploits that are known to have caused
havoc with Linux.  It is possible to upgrade the system to the newest
version, however if it's a rather old install you'll have to do it
carefully.  You can always cvsup an install, however I do believe there
were many differences between FreeBSD 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x now especially
with libs.

Sincerely,

Scott Kupferschmidt

Re: Can I delete a partition (or is it a slice?)

2003-06-15 Thread Scott Kupferschmidt
Hello,

You could simply format the new disk and mount it as /usr/home.  However,
you would have to mount it elsewhere temporarily to move the real
/usr/home data to this new partition.

I would really have to see your fstab file to see how you got it set up,
but even if you have an existing partition for /usr/home it could be
renamed and used for something else.

Hope this info helps.

Sincerely,

Scott Kupferschmidt

problem compiling imap+php

2003-06-14 Thread Scott Kupferschmidt
Hello,

I saw a post regarding IMAP the other day on the questions list, so I
thought others might be trying to do the same as me and give me a heads up
on what might be wrong here.  I am trying to compile PHP 4.3.2 with IMAP
support, and it fails with the following:

 Error Output for sanity check

Stop in /usr/apache/src/helpers.

If I disable IMAP support from PHP, all compiles fine.  Any
ideas?  Thanks.

cvsup to 4.8 - kernel doesn't build

2003-06-05 Thread Scott Kupferschmidt
Hello,

I think something changed in the kernel as it is no longer compiling after
I do a cvsup to 4.8-stable.  It seems it's a common problem looking on
line 47 of some .c files to include a file that does not exist.  I've
noticed this so far in the hifn and ubsec modules, trying to include
opt_hifn.h or opt_ubsec.h and causing the build to fail.

Can someone else verify this?  The solution I've been doing for now is
just removing that include line in the code and seems to be building fine
otherwise.

Re: 4.8-STABLE /dev/null issue

2003-06-05 Thread Scott Kupferschmidt
Hello,

I've followed those instructions and still a no go.  Enabled my crontab
line of:

* * * * * echo blah >/dev/null

And this is what happened:

crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel2,   2 Jun  4 14:45 /dev/null

Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> echo blah >/dev/null

cannot create /dev/null: permission denied

If anyone else has some suggestions, please let me know.  This is starting
to become a rather big issue on 4.8-STABLE for me.

4.8-STABLE /dev/null issue

2003-06-03 Thread Scott Kupferschmidt
Hello,

This may have been previously discussed, but I have yet to find a solution
yet so looking to find some guidance here.

I have a customer who has 2 servers, one is 4.8-RC and the other is
4.8-STABLE.  No problems have been noted on his server with 4.8-RC,
however the one running 4.8-STABLE seems to have some random /dev/null
permission changes and I'm stumped.

He runs a cron script (on both servers) and redirects the output to
/dev/null, and everytime he does it on the 4.8-STABLE the permissions
change from crw-rw-rw- to crw-r--r-- which is rather odd.  Anytime I 'echo
blah >/dev/null' just in a regular shell, nothing goes wrong, only when in
cron.

Errors reported in /var/log/maillog are something like this:

Jun  2 21:06:56 diamond sm-msp-queue[97747]: h5316uZO097747: disconnect:
open("/dev/null") failed: Permission denied

Also, cron reports similar:

Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> echo blah >/dev/null
X-Cron-Env: 
X-Cron-Env: 
X-Cron-Env: 
X-Cron-Env: 
X-Cron-Env: 

cannot create /dev/null: permission denied

I cvsup'd, rebuilt the world, mergemaster'd the system to the latest and
still experience issues.  Was there a change between 4.8-RC and 4.8-STABLE
that is causing this that I am just overlooking here?

Any advice is greatly appreciated, as of right now I am banging my head.
