Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Cannot open: Illegal byte sequence with a file containing a question mark
Hello, @all, thank you very much for your help and the very usefull explanation! Greeting, Florian Am 2012-04-26 17:31, schrieb James Carlson: Flo wrote: If that shows that the property is set on, then that's what's causing the failure. Sadly, it's configurable only when creating a file system, so if you wanted to change it, you'd have to create a new file system and copy everything over. utf8only is on. I created a new folder with utf8only=off and this worked! Are there any disadvantages with utf8only disabled? I use Napp-It and Napp-It enables it automatically You'd probably want to talk with the author of Napp-It to find out why he set that parameter. More generally speaking, there are a few file-system-level choices that you can make that determine how names are treated. Allowing only UTF8 is one of them. Selecting case-insensitive matches is another. Which one you choose depends mostly on what you're doing with those files. UTF8 has some great advantages -- it's an unambiguous encoding of UNICODE characters, so it fixes the usual national language character set problems you have with something like ISO 8859. And because the character values are exactly equal for at least the ASCII characters, it mostly works without having to think too much about it. One of the downsides, as you've found, is that it's a somewhat restrictive format. UNIX has traditionally allowed you to use any arbitrary byte value other than hex 00 (NUL) and 2F (/) in the name of a file (obviously, 2F is used for path separation), and in any sequence. Because UNIX allows anything here, two users with different LANG settings will see different characters when they look at the same files. UTF8, though, has rules for how multibyte characters are formed, and those rules result in the possibility that some arbitrary sequences of bytes are not necessarily legal encodings. That leads to an application compatibility problem. If an application issues an open(2) (or creat(2)) system call with a file name that has a legal UNIX name but has an illegal UTF8 sequence, what do you do? Failing the system call means a break in compatibility. Allowing the access means that the integrity of the file names is compromised. That's why there's an option, and why the normal ZFS default for the option is off -- to preserve compatibility. There's probably a deeper issue here concerning what was going on with the 'tar' program you were running. I had _thought_ that file names inside the tar format were encoded using UTF8, which would imply that the problem is that 'tar' erroneously translated that to a national language code point when trying to create the file. If so, then that could just be a configuration problem on your part -- e.g., attempting to use a national language character set when the rest of your world is set up for UTF8. But maybe I'm wrong about that. Someone who knows the internals of tar better should probably look at it. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
[OpenIndiana-discuss] USB Modem CDC on OI under VMWare 4.x and 5.1
Hi, I have this problem since Solaris 10, then OpenSolaris, now OI or any other illumos kernel distro. If I connect an USB Modem CDC to a native hardware running illumos, the modem is correctly configured, and using tip /dev/cua/0 let me communicate with it perfectly. Under VMWare (4.x or 5.x), I add the USB Interface to the VM, then add the specific USB Device to the VM. VMWare let me see that the added device is the correct one (Multitech .). I can add both while the illumos VM is running, then I can see the device configured under cgfadm, and find the /dev/cua/0 linked to the device. But then, the communication fails: tip /dev/cua/0 returns Device not found and Device busy. I tried unconfiuring and disconnecting via cfgadm, then reconnecting with cfgadm, but no way. The /var/adm/messages shows the system finds the device and configures it. The only strange line is before the usb device creation, saying Driver not found, but then after the device is linked and connected. Any idea? Gabriele. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Best way to share files between host and VMs?
Hi list, I'm running oi_151a3 with VirtualBox 4.1.12 and a number of VM's. My VM's include several Linux's of various vintages including an in-house embedded distribution and Windows 7. It would be convenient to be able to share GB of data between my host and the various VM's instead of copying all of that around between the host and VM's. However the performance of NFS mounting something from the host into the VM's is painful. Compiles that should take a couple minutes take over 30 just to ./configure. I am painfully aware of the contention and performance issues related to OpenIndiana, VirtualBox and NFS but have no idea how to resolve them. Something in me screams there has to be a better way. My VM's have two NIC's configured. One is NAT to reach the local network. I can't bridge them. The other is host-only to communicate with the host and occasionally with other VM's. What is the best way to share data between an OI host and Linux/Windows VirtualBox VM's?

This checks to see if the sender is trying to spoof the MTA. What spamdyke is trying to do is to blacklist emails based upon the ip address embedded in the sending domain name. For example: If I get mail from 208.1.48.3 and it's reverse domain lookup resolves to customer.208.001_48.3.sample.com and sample.com is on my list it is blocked. Again, it's available with the following configuration parameter: check_reverse_client_hostname_access type:table Table should have key sample.com and RHS = REJECT, blah Table details: http://www.postfix.org/access.5.html Chris, I'm still unclear on how to do this. How could you write a regular express to check to see if the connecting ip address is buried in the reverse dns lookup. In my example, spamdyke would reject customer.208.001_48.3.sample.com, but customer.108.001_48.3.sample.com would not be rejected because it doesn't match the ip address of the sending MTA. This prevents rejecting reverse dns names with strings of arbitrary numbers in them. Gary, I am sorry, but things are a bit unclear here. Is it don't block misconfigured clients but do block clients with proper rdns in this domain? What do you mean by customer.108.001_48.3.sample.com would not be rejected because it doesn't match the ip address of the sending MTA? That customer.108.001_48.3.sample.com A would not map back to the ip of server whose PTR record points to customer.108.001_48.3.sample.com? This is the scenario... I get a connection from ip address 1.2.3.4. The reverse DNS lookup returns foo.001_002-3_4.example.com. If I have .example.com in an ip-in-rdns-keyword-blacklist option list, spamdyke will scan the reverse domain looking for the ip address in the reverse domain list, find it, and reject the mail. Notice that it does a contextual scan so it recognizes that 001 is the same as 1, the elements can be separated by various symbols, etc. Now, if I have a connection 1.2.3.4 and the reverse DNS lookup returns foo.43.1.23.4.example.com spamdyke will let that pass since the specific ip address would not be found. All I was saying is that using regular expressions, I can't see how you could do this distinction. The worst case would be if I did something draconian like putting .net on the list. Regular expressions would reject anything with the appropriate sequence of arbitrary numbers and punctuation whereas Spamdyke would limit it to an sequence that matches the sending ip. Spamdyke has a option to automatically do this for domains that end in country codes. A regular expression would be overly optimistic and potentially reject a lot of good sending MTAs. I also have a honeypot set up. Any email that is received by that does some analysis and automatically puts it in a spamdyke blacklist, where it will remain as long as it isn't renewed (sent to the honeypot) before an expiration time is met. I have built up a lot of infrastructure using spamdyke that gives me a superior spam rejection with no reported false positives. Bottom line is that I'm not ready to lose this capability until I have a replacement for spamdyke's menu of options, ease of configuration and performance.
