 Best,

With all due respect Daniel, I disagree, and I think you've misread
things a bit. The original poster, Insan Praja, stated he had a panic
with both a GENERIC kernel, and with the snapshot kernel, so the fact
he compiled his own GENERIC kernel is completely irrelevant.

The goal is to use GENERIC or GENERIC.MP when reporting bugs. Whether
or not GENERIC/GENERIC.MP was compiled by you, or received as part of a
snapshot does not matter. The things that really do matter are the
actual *configuration* of the kernel, and whether or not any custom
patches are being used. --The names GENERIC and GENERIC.MP are the
names of the configuration files used to configure the build of the
kernel.

# cd /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf
# config GENERIC
# cd ../compile/GENERIC
# make clean  make depend  make
[...lots of output...]
# make install

If you are running the -RELEASE branch, you will be running the factory
compiled GENERIC or GENERIC.MP kernel, but many people prefer to follow
the -STABLE branch since there is some up-keep of the base system (i.e.
security related patches, and other important fixes).

If you are running the -STABLE branch, you will undoubtedly be
compiling your own kernel, so obviously, who compiled the kernel does
not matter.

When it comes to running the -CURRENT branch, you could be either
running the factory compiled kernel from a snapshot, or you could be
running your own compiled kernel. There are some mild differences
between running the GENERIC kernel from a snapshot, and running a
GENERIC kernel which you compiled from source. At times, the supposedly
GENERIC kernel(s) available in the snapshots have a bit of extra secret
sauce, such as fairly solid patches which are still in need of further
and greater testing.

There are some great, but non-default, features not available in
GENERIC or GENERIC.MP such as NTFS-read support. There is obviously no
way to report a bug in the NTFS-read support unless it was enabled in
the kernel, and hence, you're not running GENERIC/GENERIC.MP.

There are nearly countless ways someone can really screw up a kernel
configuration, and trying to track down bugs in some strange and unknown
kernel is a serious waste of developer time. This is why people are told
to always try to replicate the bug using GENERIC/GENERIC.MP before
reporting it. In situations of reporting a bug on non-default features,
like the NTFS-read support, you should replicate the bug with a kernel
as close to GENERIC as possible, and then clearly state the exact
changes you made to enable the non-default feature.

When tracking down bugs, the more consistent things are, the easier it
is to replicate, find, and fix the problem. This is why using *custom*
kernels are strongly discouraged, and our standard GENERIC kernel is
strongly encouraged.

 However there is a commit already for icmp on pf as well:

Re: Worrying things in dmesg

2009-03-07 Thread Louis Opter
  I'm running OpenBSD 4.4 release on an i386 machine.
  I use a Compact Flash card as hdd. Without manual configuration the bios
  recognizes it as removable and refuses to boot OpenBSD.

 What machine is that?

It's an old HP Vectra with a p3 733mhz and 128mo of pc133 sdram.

I have decided to use compact flash cards to avoid problems with old hdds.

Here is a full dmesg : http://www.kalessin.fr/stuff/dmesg_hp_vectra_cose.txt

 If you are sure all other hardware is OK, then the card
 is faulty. Throw it away and buy a new one, they are very cheap now.

I have purchased six identical cards. I will run tests with another card with
bonnie++ [1] under one hp vectra with OpenBSD and my workstation (far more
recent than the vectras) under Linux 2.6.24.

  But, yesterday I have also noticed that I can't use setuid programs :
 
  Mar  2 15:02:14 gw-pri-eaubonne su: cannot stat
/usr/libexec/auth/login_passwd: \
  Permission denied
  Mar  2 15:02:14 gw-pri-eaubonne su: /usr/libexec/auth/login_passwd: path not
secure

 Not sure what this means. Who is trying the su?

A regular user in the wheel group. It happens because the setuid bit is not
honored (/usr was mounted with nosuid).

  After I bit of searching I have seen this mail received from daily
  insecurity output.
 
  Checking setuid/setgid files and devices:
  Setuid additions:
  -r-sr-xr-x  1  root  bin   157440  Aug  13  00:56:44  2008  /sbin/ping

  +/dev/wd0d /var ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
  +/dev/wd0g /var/tmp ffs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
  [...]

 This looks to me like the first insecurity report after a fresh install
 - note that it's a diff between /dev/null (as of Feb 25 = OLD) and /etc/fstab
 (as of Feb 16 = NEW). Strange.

  So the system replaced my configuration files and put nosuid on /usr.

 Why would the system change your mount flags?

This is really weird.

  The modifications that I have done on other configurations files (I
  haven't touched the fstab since the install) were kept.

 When did you install?

You were right it's the first mail after install.

I believe that I have installed this machine the 24 or 23 february,
but now I'm not sure.

  - From where my configuration was restored ? (I don't use altroot)
 
  The system doesn't restore your configs (whatever that means),
  but keeps daily backups in /var/backups. It might be interesting to see
  the stat(1) of the files there.

Which files exactly ?

  - These warnings in dmesg can be considered harmless ?

 No.

Anyway, something is going wrong with the hardware here, yesterday the machine
froze. It was certainly a panic() (nothing in logs not even messages about the
compact flash).

Monday, I will run some load tests on an identical machine and my workstation.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Misc@,
on a i386 kernel recent build (6th march), I got panic. It says:

Hello,

As far as I know, home built kernel is not supported, you need to  
try

out a snapshot instead and see if it works.

Cheers,
Steph

You are right, but I always had a backup of last working kernel,
and  that is what I use now. But this panic happens and I like to
report it  to see if anyone else experiencing the same panic, with
home build  kernel or snapshot. It's a generic kernel, anyway, I
hope I can  contribute in some other way, you know.. like testing
diff or finding bugs.
I also use sendbug(1) to report the panic.
Thanks,

You just don't built home build kernel at all. This is really not
linux  here. You can configure all you want on it as is.


So what if I want debug symbols to produce meaningful traces
from kernel core dumps with gdb? Then I have to compile with
DEBUG=-g to get a bsd.gdb. Then I have a self-compiled kernel
already.


That wasn't the question, but again, if you know that you need -g and
are looking at kernel core dumps then you wouldn't asked questions about
it on misc@ would you? Stay on the topic as it was asked. And it sure
wasn't a question about the core dump used with -g was it? But related
to icmp.


And what if I'm testing diffs posted to t...@?
When testing diffs you usually don't only run them for 5 minutes.
You usually run them for as long as you can.


Then your question would have been on tech@ related to a spefici diff as
well from tech@ too, but it wasn't.


I guess these faq entries are there to stop people from tweaking
the config so hard that their machine cannot boot anymore, and
then reporting this as a bug. They don't exist to stop people who
somewhat know what they are doing from reporting things they find
in kernels they've compiled themselves.


They are there to make sure valid tests are done on generic kernel as is
and valid meaning full reports are sent in that can be reproduce by
others and get fix. Not to asked a free for all home built kernel from
anyone.


And note that there have recently been changes in the way pf
keeps track of icmp, so this may well be a valid report.

It may well address this issue for sure, or it may not.

The idea and intend still stand that it's not for everyone. Good one are
important and useful and this may have been one of them.

And if the same problem still exists then with a snapshot, I am sure
someone will be more then happy to look into it.

Hope this help to provide a bit more details as to what the intent of
the faq are and what the spirit of my suggestion was.

Fell free to disagree, that's fair.



Sorry, I don't get it a non-developer tries to educate a developer about

From the above you're running a self compiled 4.4-STABLE and not a
current snapshot.

Since the tree was tagged 4.5-current a few days ago, the most recent
snapshots will report OpenBSD 4.5-current Prior to this tag change,
they reported OpenBSD 4.5-beta

You did not mention what version of firefox you are running?

On 4.4, you've got firefox 2.X, but on 4.5 we have firefox 3.X.

I did notice a strange right side mouse pointer issue quite a while ago
(without any plugins) in firefox 2.X on OBSD 4.4, but I was never able
to repeat it... possibly because I created my own updated 2.X port.

If you are running 4.4-STABLE as your dmesg suggests, I have a
back-port/update of Firefox 2.0.0.20 that might just fix the issue.

Hi Rodolfo,

OpenBSD's apache is chroot, so to use PHP with session you need to 
create the /var/www/tmp directory.


That's why you got this open(/tmp//sess_ignndir3nk8sv4ntdrr05o6at2, 
O_RDWR) failed.


Remember that /var/www/tmp will turn into /tmp inside the apache's chroot.

HTH,

Anything else contact me offlist in portuguese :D

THANKS, for now.

Re: offtopic - file permission trivial question

2009-03-07 Thread ropers
2009/2/9 Ariane van der Steldt ari...@stack.nl:
 On Mon, Feb 09, 2009 at 01:46:39AM +0100, Jesus Sanchez wrote:
 This question it's a little complicated to make. It's more a curiosity
 than a technical situation.  First I will try to put the situation.
 Let's say I'm the root of a system, and one of my users (user foo) have
 his home dir with rwx privileges ( /home/foo/ have permissions 700 ) and
 I wan't to create a black box dir inside it's home, so I cd to
 /home/foo and do:

 # mkdir blackdir
 # chmod 000 blackdir

 At this point (as I know) the foo user isn't able to see the content of
 blackdir, but if the dir is empty he can delete it (rm -df blackdir)
 cause he have rwx on /home/foo.

 Someway, user foo can have information about the contents of
 blackdir: if it's empty he can 'rm -d' it, so he will know if the dir
 had or not any file. In my way of think, thats information about the
 dir.

 What is the design cause of this behaviour? I mean, It wouldn't be more
 logical the fact that if a dir have 000 permissions, the foo user
 shouldn't be able to get any kind of information about the dir? even
 something so trivial as if the dir was empty or not.

 The user is allowed to remove the directory, but only if it is empty. rm
 -d expects and empty directory argument and executes the remove
 operation, which the kernel will not grant if there's files in it. It's
 not a design decision, but a logical conclusion of the design.

Commenting on an old thread here, but maybe this will help somebody
googling the archives (and yes, most OpenBSD miscers know this of
course):

The reason for this behaviour --which may seem counterintuitive
depending on your implicit assumptions-- is that directories are
actually defined in their *parent* directory. Thus, as you correctly
observed, when the user tries to remove the empty blackdir in
/home/foo, they can do so, because the permissions of /home/foo are
700.
If however there's a file in /home/foo/blackdir, then this will
prevent /home/foo/blackdir from being removed, because the 000
permissions of blackdir prevent the file from being removed -- even if
the latter has 777 permissions or is an empty subdirectory.
If blackdir has 333 permissions, the user can remove the file (that
has 777 permissions). However, if blackdir has 333 permissions and
contains an empty subdirectory that has 000 permissions, then the user
must already know or be able to guess the name of that subdirectory,
because to remove it, they will need to run first rm -rf
blackdir/subdirectory and then rm -rf blackdir.

The easy way to thus create a persistent blackbox directory that the
user cannot delete is to make sure it's never empty, for instance by
doing

# mkdir /home/foo/blackbox
# chmod 000 /home/foo/blackbox
# touch /home/foo/blackbox/.sticky

Of course a blackbox would not be very useful really, unless you're
trying to hide your private files in someone else's directory.
*Dropboxes* however are quite useful (though not necessarily in
individual users' home folders):

# mkdir dropbox
# chmod 333 dropbox
# touch dropbox/.sticky

Because the 333 permissions of the dropbox folder would in principle
allow users to delete .sticky (as opposed to the above scenario where
the 000 permissions of blackbox would have prevented that, as long as
.sticky isn't an empty subfolder), the permissions of .sticky itself
now become important, and it's probably best to do:

# chmod 000 dropbox/.sticky

Voila! A dropbox that users cannot delete, and whose contents users
cannot list, but which they can copy files into. That's very useful
e.g. for WebDAV (cf. http://openports.se/www/mod_dav ) and probably
FTP servers, so people can give stuff to you, without being able to
see what files others have sent you. However, be warned: This prevents
them from listing the directory contents, but due to the execute
(=directory traverse) permissions of the dropbox folder, people with
shell access will still be able to confirm the *existence* of
individual files if they can guess their file names, like so:

$ ll dropbox/.sticky
--  1 root  ropers  0 Mar  8 04:44 dropbox/.sticky
$
(NB: On my systems, alias ll='ls -Fahl'.)

This tells them that the file they asked to be listed does indeed
exist; if the file did not exist, the above command would have
resulted in an error. They wouldn't however be able to tell what --if
anything-- is inside those files.

So dropboxes are a nice facility that you may set up once and for all,
and that people could use to copy/upload files to you and only you.
However: If someone were to  e.g. copy a file called L4T35T B00TL3G
M0V13.RAR into your drop box, then it'd be entirely possible that
some WIPO-RICO vigilante might be able to guess and confirm that a
file of that name is indeed present on your system...

Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD

The Lenovo shows this:
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500

No mention of Nvidia, so that's a plus. I'd rather have the
Toshiba since it has a bigger hard drive and more ram for
the same price, but I know from reading on the list that
Lenovo is generally more compatible with OpenBSD than most
laptops. I also know that you're usually better off going
with an older model since there's been time to test it, write
drivers, code, etc., for it, than with a relatively new model.
I have an ancient Toshiba but it's really not up to the task
anymore except maybe to use as a secure email station, etc.
I searched through the mailing lists archives but found no
mention of either model listed above, so any comments, advice,
and so forth much appreciated.

Apache PHP

2009-03-07 Thread new_guy
I compile some c code and link it statically. It's the simple 'hello world'
program. I name it 'hello' and put it in /var/www/test/

I then try to execute it through php using the shell_exec function like so:

$output = shell_exec(/var/www/test/hello);
echo $output;

I get no output at all. Same program runs fine via shell_exec on other
Apache PHP setups. Being this is statically linked and ldd shows no shared
libs (the chroot should not impact it, right?) and the php.ini files does
not exclude shell_exec from running... what else might be wrong?

Sparc64 panics

2009-03-07 Thread Johan SANCHEZ
Hi list,

I m experiencing some panics on 4.2/4.4 Sparc64 system
with generic kernel.

/bsd: text_access_error: memory error...

/bsd: text memory error type 10 sfsr=0 sfva=48961240
afsr=cfec201d38 afva=4c tf=0x4000e8cbed0 

/bsd: data error type 32 sfsr=0 sfva=455fba48 afsr=44
afva=cfec201d38 tf=0x4000e8f3ed0


This system has ECC and all the hardware tests are ok

If i ls -l in a directroy with numerous files or if i issue
a line with a result of long text the system will panic.

I read the trap.c but i m bit confused .

Can some give me advice on this ?

TIA

Do you have a shell executable in your chroot?
