Why don't you use sysutils/portmanager or sysutils/portupgrade in the

execute the following to enable squid to access /dev/ipnat

Why don't you start your script from /etc/rc.local. I use rc.local to
start many scripts for custom commands/daemons I need to be ready once
the system (re)starts.

I use the uk cvsup server and it works fine. The message you recieve
means that there is a firewall blocking your connection.
Check your firewall and enable outgoing traffic to port 5999.

I guess pkg_delete -r  is not what he asked for since it
well deinstall all those depending on the given package/port. He wants
to einstall all those required by the given package/port.

for example gmake-3.80_2
# pkg_info -r gmake-3.80_2
Information for gmake-3.80_2:

Depends on:
Dependency: libiconv-1.9.2_1
Dependency: gettext-0.14.4_1

# pkg_delete -r gmake-3.80_2
This well only remove gmake-3.80_2 but not what gmake depends on to
run (libiconv and gettext) and to build (libtool)

There are alos build dependenies that would not be removed since they
are only required to build the package/port but not to run it (libtool
for example is required to build gmake but not to run it).

I use portupgrade and its tools to install/remove packages/ports.
for example if I want to remove gmake and all it's 'RUN' dependencies
(libiconv and gettext)

# pkg_deinstall -iR gmake
This well prompt for each step to remove gmake and ports needed to run
it but libtool well not get removed or asked for to be removed since
it is not required to run gmake.

There are many tools in /usr/ports/sysutils that well help you remove
packages/ports not required to run allready installed ports/packages.

pkg_cutleaves
pkg_rmleaves
portmanager
portupgrade

My favorite all is portupgrade since it has many utilities for example
pkg_deinstall

Try to install portupgrade then

# pkg_deinstall -iR sqwebmail

the -i option request confirmation for each package removal
The -R option Deinstall all those required by the given packages as well.
Aftrer removing sqwebmail it well ask you to remove
- courier-authlib-base-0.56
- ispell-3.2.06_13

as well perl and/or other dependencies so don't forget to answer with
"no" for packages you need.

Squid transparent proxy masquerading as Client IPs

2005-06-08 Thread Abu Khaled
Some ISPs use Linux with tproxy kernel patch to masquerade the
requests from clients and make them appear as if they came from the
client with no proxy connection. After digging around the squid-cache
archives and mailing lists, Henrik Nordstrom suggested using
tcp_outgoing_address and nat to achieve the same on FreeBSD and Squid
in transparent (intercepting mode).

The Idea is to assign for each Client a private IP on the Squid Server
(as aliases worked fine). In squid.conf we add

header_access Via deny all
header_access X-Forwarded-For deny all
# this removes both headers

# and for each client we need
acl clientxxx src  
tcp_outgoing_address  clientxxx

Squid binds requests from clientxxx's  to the 
then we nat those to the  making the request appear as if it
came directly from the client not the proxy.

To make things easy I used two scripts.
 
1. I added the add-alias.sh script to /etc/rc.local to create the
aliases on startup

# < add-alias.sh > start
IP=110
MAXIP=150
PRIV=10.10.10
ALIASIF=
# I used lo0 to do the aliases on
# Also I tested a virtual interface (netgraph)
# Just to make sure no conflicts with transparent proxy rules (loops)
while [ $IP -le $MAXIP ]
do
if !( ifconfig $ALIASIF inet $PRIV.$IP netmask 0x alias ) then
echo Error Creating Alias $PRIV.$IP on $ALIASIF
exit
fi
IP=$(( $IP + 1 ))
done
# < add-alias.sh > end

2. The squid-ipnat.sh script deletes the old ipnat.conf file and
creates a new one with rules for the external interface. It also
creates 2 files with ACLs for squid I used it once to create the
ipnat.conf file and keep it just in case I need to change the IPs
(real/private). And the 2 files with ACLs for squid were used to copy
and paste the ACLs to squid.conf. Oh ya backup you configuration files
just in case.

# < squid-ipnat.sh > start
IP=110
MAXIP=150
PRIV=10.10.10
REAL=xxx.xxx.xxx
EXTIF=
# I used the external interface for nat 
cd 
rm ipnat.conf  # carefull deletes old ipnat.conf file
rm squid_acl.conf
rm squid_tcp.conf
while [ $IP -le $MAXIP ]
do
 echo "bimap $EXTIF from $PRIV.$IP/32 to 0.0.0.0/0 port = 80 ->
$REAL.$IP/32" >> ipnat.conf
 echo "acl Client$IP src $REAL.$IP" >> squid_acl.conf
 echo "tcp_outgoing_address $PRIV.$IP Client$IP" >> squid_tcp.conf
# Client$IP is the name for the ACL expands from Client110 to Client150
# squid_acl.conf and squid_tcp.conf end in  copy and
paste to squid.conf both
IP=$(( $IP + 1 ))
done
# < squid-ipnat.sh > end

As you can see, I used IPNAT's bimap and tested the configuration for
40+ clients.
My network is small and I wonder if someone can use this to test a
larger network. Also test PF or IPFW/DIVERT/NAT and see what performs
better or just for fun.

One last note the tcp_outgoing_address does not follow the
X-Forwarded-For patch and it caused me to lose my head since I had
Dansguardian in front of Squid. The Delay pools followed-X fine and
that caused me to think there was a problem with my configuration.
After Disabling Dansguardian the configuration worked as expected. So
do not wonder if it does not work if you use another proxy before
squid.

Check the FreeBSD website under

Well I don't use apache but I use squid and many websites cause
problems because they don't have properly configured headers for
cache-control

Check Apache docs for mod_expire , mod_headers and Google for
Cache-Control header. Something like "Cache-Control: no-cache". Sorry

sendmail NOINET6=true

2005-05-13 Thread Abu Khaled
This message appears after building amd installing world and kernel
using the NOINET6=true in /etc/make.conf.

sendmail[1579]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line
279: Unknown address family inet6 in Family=option

No one uses the Server for sending mail, so I don't know if it is a
problem or not. Local e-mails from daily/security arrive just fine but
contain the same error message in them.
I really don't need IPV6 for my server so I added the NOINET6=true
option to /etc/make.conf after building/installing world/kernel.

I use FreeBSD 5 STABLE as a Router with IPFW, DUMMYNET, Squid,
DansGuardian and Bind as a forwarding DNS cache for 100 users. All
this is running on an old PIII 500Mhz with 128MB ram and 20GB HDD. 100
users may not be much but I guess with more RAM The FreeBSD box well
handle more clients.
I only use the BOX to test FreeBSD 5 performance for future plans and
so far it rocks except for a few problems (sure thats what STABLE is
for).

Ed, can you please tell me more about "Transparent content filtering".
Sounds intresting

Are you using GCC from ports. I am not sure about this but i tried to
buildworld once using GCC from the ports and got into trouble. Can you
post what you have in /etc/make.conf so others can look into this.

I tested Xorg port a few weeks ago and it worked fine except a few
problems I had because of a high security level (modules refused to
load). It might be useful to post the error message you get when
starting X so others can try to figure out the problem/solution.

AFAIK there is no default root password.
I checked the default files and didn't find any. It's blank.

You can also add "setenv CLICOLOR" to ".cshrc" in your home directory.
# cd ~

Well I am not sure about the "make: don't know how to make update" message.

I use cvsup to update src/ports/doc.
You need to add options to /etc/make.conf to use "make update"
Here is my cvsup related options in "/etc/make.conf"
-
SUP_UPDATE=yes
SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup # <- default installation for cvsup
SUPFLAGS=-g -L 2 # options for cvsup
SUPHOST=cvsup.uk.freebsd.org  # the server to use
SUPFILE=path+filename to your src_all sup file
PORTSSUPFILE=path+filename to ports_all sup file
DOCSUPFILE=path+filename to doc_all sup file
-

Try man make.conf for more details. Good luck

you need to set PACKAGESITE environment variable

# setenv PACKAGESITE
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/ALL/

PS: don't forget the trailing "/" like i did

If it fails I use this one
# setenv PACKAGESITE

My guess would be that you did not build/install world/kernel. So the
package system still defaults to your 5.3 release branch. The
sources/ports you updated must be for the development brach
FreeBSD-5.X, also known as FreeBSD 5-STABLE "RELENG 5"

Check your CVSUP configuration (supfile).
if default tag=RELENG_5 then you are tracking 5.4 STABLE and you need
to buildworld/kernel and install (check the handbook).

If you don't whant to buildworld/kernel then change "tag=RELENG_5" to
"tag=RELENG_5_3", cvsup again and your sources/ports well be the same
as PACKAGES (the older ones)

That's the best thing about portupgrade/portmanager. We don't have to
worry (too much) about dependencies.

ezm3, gettext, gmake, libiconv, libtool are the build dependencies for
cvsup-without-gui.

# cd /usr/ports
# make search name="cvsup-without-gui"

If you updated your soirces/ports "cvsup" then portupgrade did what
you asked it to do. It Updated all outdated packages/ports and there
dependencies.

sio0 is the serial interface. If you don't need it try to disable it
"bios" to see if it's the reason for this problem.

A question mark "?" Give a short listing of the files in the root

Well you can try to boot manually it may work. type the following at
the boot prompt

0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader
OR
0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel

If it works the you might have a chance to fix the problem. Somehow I

If the other machines you are trying to ping have M$ firewall enabled,
then you need to enable incoming echo request in the M$ firewall ICMP
page.

Try to check the output of "ifconfig" on the FreeBSD box when you
connect it to the 100m hub / 10m hub / radio.
Also try "route get " on the FreeBSD box and check the
output. Does it provide the correct interface/gateway?

First, you have to excuse my English it is my third language and I do
not have that much experience.

This seems like a puzzle to me and I cannot figure out the topology of
your network.

* Can you ping the M$ box from FreeBSD? You need to enable incoming
echo request in M$ firewall.
* Are both systems on the same subnet?
* Have you tried to plug the radio directly into FreeBSD box and test
the connection like you did for M$ box?
* Does your FreeBSD box have a firewall configured?

You mentioned that the connection works if you plug the radio directly
to M$ box. Does it also work when you plug both to the hub? If not
then it might be a crossover cable problem.

As you can see, many pices in this puzzle need sorting out.

The following is an excerpt from a post to the freebsd-current mailing list.

  The ``can't assign resources'' messages indicate that the devices
are legacy ISA devices for which a non-PnP-aware driver is compiled
into the kernel. These include devices such as keyboard controllers,
the programmable interrupt controller chip, and several other bits of
standard infrastructure. The resources cannot be assigned because
there is already a driver using those addresses.
   
--Garrett Wollman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 24 April 2001   

PNP0700 is the "Standard floppy disk controller"
AFAIK if the Floppy Disk is working then these messages do not mean
that there is a problem.

* I do not know how to disable the message. I have them to.

unknown:  can't assign resources (port)

I searched the ports section on freebsd site and found out the following:

ImageMagick 6.2.0.5 is for freebsd 5 & 4 Stable.
ImageMagick 6.0.6.2 is for FreeBSD 5.x Release. an older version is
for FreeBSD-4.x Release

So which version of FreeBSD are you running?
#uname -a

The packaging system automaticaly fetches the version suited for your
version of FreeBSD.

Yes but only what is suitable for your current FreeBSD system is
always installed when you install a port or add package.

Ports need to be built and installed first.
Packages are precompiled versions  (Binaries) of the Ports.
cvsup updates your source/ports/docs. you still need to install the
updated versions by your self or you can use portupgrade/portmanager
which one you prefer to do this for you.

I hope this information helps to understand how things work under FreeBSD.

I usually run cvsup daily to update my sources and ports. I don't like
to use pre-compiled packages since I use a custom built kernel and the
default options used to compile the packages are not allways suitable
for my work (I use FreeBSD as a Router , DNS Server "BIND" , Caching
Proxy "SQUID"). Thats why I use the ports to configure the build
options to my needs.

Example:
cvsup # to update my sources and ports.
portupgrade -an   # first i use "-an" just to check out changes.
cd /usr/ports/www/squid # ohh a new version of squid is there!!!
make config# to checkout configuration options for Squid.
vi Makefile # usally I check the makefile for other options.

Finally instead of building/compiling/installing etc...
portupgrade -v squid  # i use -v because i love to see things as they happen.

Or you can use  to update all ports for which a new
version exists.

People how don't need to compile/install ports just use pkg_add.
It all depends on what you have and what you need.

Check the ports page on FreeBSD site http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html
Search for ImageMagick. then select the right Release/Stable 4.x or
5.x to see which version of the port exists for differrent versions of
FreeBSD.

if da0 is the only entry in /dev then you might have missed something
in the kernel configuration.

AFAIK "device vpo" is reguired for Iomega "Parallel" Zip Drive.
and "device umass" is required for Iomega "USB" Zip Drive.

Note that "device vpo" is disabled by default in the GENERIC
configuration file. I wonder why?!

PS: Secure Kernel Levels might also prevent mounting devices. (not
very sure about this)!

Re: where is autoconf

2005-03-02 Thread abu khaled
---for example if you want to install autoconf version 2.59

cd /usr/ports/devel/autoconf259
make clean
make install

---the port well then be downladed and compiled/installed

---to uninstall
cd /usr/ports/devel/autoconf259
make deinstall

---you can also install a pre-compiled version using pkg_add

pkg_add -r autoconf259

---to uninstall
pkg_delete autoconf259

personally i like to use the ports since they compile on my custom built kernel

Good Luck :)

Re: tab completion

2005-03-01 Thread abu khaled
I'm not sure if this helps but you can at least try.

login as non-root (user)
run this command: chsh -s /bin/tcsh
you well be prompted for you non-root password
logout and login again as non-root and see if it works

you can su to root and use use the same command to change the root
shell.(sh is recommended for root)

I hope it works!!!

IPFW2 verrevpath versrcreach antispoof

2005-02-27 Thread abu khaled
Greetings...

I recently build world and kernel with ipfw support. Can someone
provide examples on how to use these options (verrevpath, versrcreach
and antispoof). What can they be used for and can't! and how to use
them (proper syntax).

Execuse my poor english! I am knew to FreeBSD and UNIX / LINUX.
however thanks to searching the mailling lists I managed to setup a
FreeBSD box. I use it as a router with squid as a transparent proxy
and Bind forwarding DNS.
