Buildworld fails updating from 5.4-RELEASE-p2 to 6.0-RELEASE
I've been trying to update an old server from 5.4-RELEASE-p2 to 7.2-RELEASE.
So, I figured the best way would be to do this in steps. 5.4 to 6.0 then
6.0 to 6.4 then to 7.0 then finally 7.2.
So, I have ftp'd the src directory for 6.0-RELEASE from
ftp-archive.freebsd.org. Then I wiped /usr/src, mkdir'd /usr/src/obj,
did an install.sh for all the packages in src for 6.0. Then I placed my
kernel config in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/, and did make buildworld.
I constantly get a fail (whether or not I use -j3 or no -j argument in
/etc/make.conf):

FreeBSD 7.0 and Denyhosts 2.6_1?
Greetings! Running: 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #27: Thu Apr 10 02:51:13 EDT 2008 amd64 DenyHosts 2.6_1 The suggested setup of using this stanza in /etc/hosts.allow does not seem to work: # Wrapping sshd(8) is not normally a good idea, but if you # need to do it, here's how #sshd : .evil.cracker.example.com : deny sshd : /etc/hosts.deniedssh : deny sshd : ALL : allow -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel3401 Mar 30 05:09 /etc/hosts.allow -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 149828 Mar 30 05:09 /etc/hosts.deniedssh It was suggested I try using the /etc/hosts.deny option instead. Neither of these seem to be working. These are my settings in denyhosts.conf: SECURE_LOG = /var/log/auth.log HOSTS_DENY = /etc/hosts.deny PURGE_DENY = 5d BLOCK_SERVICE = DENY_THRESHOLD_INVALID = 5 DENY_THRESHOLD_VALID = 10 DENY_THRESHOLD_ROOT = 1 DENY_THRESHOLD_RESTRICTED = 1 WORK_DIR = /usr/local/share/denyhosts/data SUSPICIOUS_LOGIN_REPORT_ALLOWED_HOSTS=YES HOSTNAME_LOOKUP=NO LOCK_FILE = /var/run/denyhosts.pid ADMIN_EMAIL = [EMAIL PROTECTED] SMTP_HOST = localhost SMTP_PORT = 25 SMTP_FROM = DenyHosts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SMTP_SUBJECT = DenyHosts Report SYSLOG_REPORT=YES DAEMON_LOG = /var/log/denyhosts DAEMON_SLEEP = 30s DAEMON_PURGE = 1h SYNC_SERVER = http://xmlrpc.denyhosts.net:9911 SYNC_INTERVAL = 1h SYNC_UPLOAD = yes SYNC_DOWNLOAD = yes SYNC_DOWNLOAD_THRESHOLD = 3 SYNC_DOWNLOAD_RESILIENCY = 5h (end conf file) One of the comments made was that, perhaps, there is a problem with the tcp_wrappers not matching what the man page for hosts.allow says it can do?

John DeStefano said the following on 9/14/2004 10:15 PM: I've noticed a few posts over the past week or so regarding users' servers being probed by remote ssh attempts. Coincidentally (or perhaps not so), around that time, I began getting quite a few records of such attempts to my server, at the rate of about 3 tries per IP, and about three IPs per night. Unfortunately, last night (Mon Sep 13), this attack was much more concentrated and persistent: someone from (or spoofing from) one IP (211.250.185.100) hammered my server with login attempts over a 20-minute period. The last report I got was a final, failed root password at 20:22:13 Eastern Time (GMT-5:00). I've been getting this for weeks. They're all under APNIC, and emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] involved networks has gone unanswered. The easiest way to protect this is to check your sshd_config and set: PermitRootLogin no Which, if you're exposed to the 'Net would be a sane practice--force people to log in as themselves and su (or sudo or sudoscript) to root. Admittedly, I am not sure about the rest of your posting. When I run last, (on 4.10-STABLE) it shows logins back to the 1st of September.

They're all under APNIC, and emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] involved networks has gone unanswered. I've been getting these as well, but from a multitude of address spaces. Not just APNIC. I should have been clearer--the ones coming in on *my* server have all been from APNIC :-/ Agreed. However if you 'Absolutely' require something to be done remotely as root, make it a pub/priv key sequence and limit the command using the keys. *nod* But I really can't think of any reason to have an exposed machine allow a direct-root login... Probably I just haven't had that particular need or experience yet... But with protected machines? Sure--at my old job (at Lumeta) we had our "one trusted" machine which was allowed to ssh as root (using keys only) to our internal machines. For purposes of pushes/pulls/upgrades/stuff along those lines. Very sane practice *nod* I'd like to think Tal rubbed off on me a bit :) It is possible that the box was compromised and the utmp/wtmp log removed/edited/etc, and I would start looking immediately for other traces of a possible intrusion. *nod* Hopefully he wasn't hacked--that would be major suckage :-/ Best, Glenn -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: increasing failed sshd logins/clearing breadcrumb trails
John DeStefano said the following on 9/16/2004 10:40 AM: The easiest way to protect this is to check your sshd_config and set: PermitRootLogin no Interestingly, this option did not exist in my config file (I added it), but all other options were commented out. Is this the default? Is it wise to leave it this way? Yes--it's in man sshd_config: PermitRootLogin Specifies whether root can login using ssh(1). The argument must be ``yes'', ``without-password'', ``forced-commands-only'' or ``no''. The default is ``no''. Note that if ChallengeResponseAuthentication is ``yes'', the root user may be allowed in with its password even if PermitRootLogin is set to ``without-password''. If this option is set to ``without-password'' password authenti- cation is disabled for root. If this option is set to ``forced-commands-only'' root login with public key authentication will be allowed, but only if the command option has been specified (which may be useful for taking remote backups even if root login is normally not allowed). All other authentication methods are disabled for root. If this option is set to ``no'' root is not allowed to login.

DVD question...
Hey list! I'm a BSD guy for servers & such. My own server (wingfoot) runs 4.10-STABLE, and my last job was 95% FreeBSD in the data center. I'm getting sick of Windows on my desktop at home. (No kidding, right?!) I'd really really really love to move my desktop to FBSD. One thing is really holding me back. In Windows, I have Roxio Easy Media Creator 7, which allows me to manipulate AVI/MPEG streams, and format a DVD video disc and burn it, using my nifty TDK DVD 8x +/-RW drive. I'm pretty sure I can find AVI/MPEG editing packages for BSD easy enough. But I'm having a dickens of a time finding something that will let me author DVDs.

Re: Quickie... Hopefully!
Richard Marriner said the following on 10/1/2004 6:25 PM: Dear list, Just wondering if there is anyway (preferably simple.) to have two ip addresses on the same NIC that are different networks. First, I would test things out by adding an ifconfig alias (man ifconfig) and adding a new route to the new gateway IP (using the route command). Then, once you're sure things are working, add an ifconfig alias in rc.conf. You probably want the *new* IP to be the non-alias address, and the *old* IP to be the alias. Make sure that defaultrouter is set in rc.conf to be the new gateway IP. You'll need to also add the route for the aliased IP to the route table using the route command. Then, test away--make sure traffic from both IP blocks makes it through! Traceroute is your friend! :) (I'm not a total network geek, but IIRC, this is one way of doing what you're looking for.

Re: When Unix Stops Being Fun
bsdfsse said the following on 10/3/2004 3:12 AM: Ironically, I'm switching to FreeBSD because I'm already tired. My bones are aching from years of abuse. I'm tired of.. Hear Hear!! ..of Linux distributions with fatal flaws. I went on a giant search to pick the perfect Linux distro, and I ended up selecting FreeBSD. Every single distro had some aspect I didn't like. I started with FreeBSD in the Fall of 2000, when I started at Lumeta. I loved it so much that when I built my personal server, I used it (and Wing's now running on 4.10-STABLE, and when 5.3 is out of BETA I'll most likely upgrade it...). I had played with RedHat (3 or 4.. I still have the CDs somewhere!), I had used Unix System V (on a Unix PC (AT&T PC 7300) no less!) in the early 90's, but had ended up working with Windows mostly at my jobs, and thus, at home. Every time there was a new version of Windows, there were new idiosyncracies and more bullshit to cram into my head. When I started at Lumeta, I found those old Unix skills creeping back out of my memory--and they STILL WORKED! *gasp* ;) Things that attracted me to FBSD: 1) The ease of the Ports collection. No messy rpm commands to have to memorize or read man pages on--just cd /usr/ports/tree/package && make install clean -- Wow. How much easier can it get? Oh I know... when you don't want the port anymore? cd /usr/ports/tree/package && make deinstall ;) 2) The support in the community--I've never lacked at being able to find help. Granted, this is more Unix-oriented than FBSD-oriented.. But I have to admit that the mailing lists have been a *HUGE* help when I've needed it. 3) Finding that O'Reilly hosted articles about *BSD (Like Dru Lavigne's many articles discussing the ports tree and other nifty things in FreeBSD, and how to maintain & keep them in tip-top shape)! 4) Finding that I could actually *run* more than, say, 2 or 3 services on a particular server! (The first FBSD server I helped configure at Lumeta served as our: general development, Samba-shared, user home, network print server, DNS, DHCP, Apache, RT, email server--I was amazed you could run all that on one box without it crashing daily, like Windows would at the time!) 5) The ease with which I was able to take an existing port (misc/instant-workstation) and make a Lumeta package which would run over the course of a weekend, hands-free, and build a developer's workstation to our specs! For free! I didn't need to learn any weird packaging script language (read: InstallShield), nor did I have to worry incessantly about "how many licenses do we have left for ..." like I had to with our Windows boxen. (There are others, of course, but these are what come to mind immediately...) ..of proprietary formats. All the emails I lost over the years that were in some kind of Outlook format that at the time I was either too lazy or too ignorant, to make a back up of. Yeah--early on I switched from Outcrack to Eudora, which, though better, still wasn't perfect--but at least it was in a Unix-like format! :) My point is, the knowledge you gain about UNIX is your's forever. The freedom is forever. The control is forever. If want to be a sysadmin, you don't have to be master of everything. You just need to be on the path - and you are. It's not all about what you have memorized. It's knowing where to look for the information. I have *no* qualms telling people in interviews, when they ask me a question I don't know the answer to off the top of my head, that I could easily find that information via man or a Google search. In general, I have found that if the person interviewing you Has Clueage, that's better to them than someone sitting there scratching their head going "Um.. let me think... um... " for a few minutes. Myself, I am preparing to migrate my home PC from WinXP to FreeBSD 5.x soon. Mostly because I'm sick of the stupid driver conflicts, spontaneous reboots where M$ blames my NVidia drivers, and software that ceases to work because of SP2 (my screensavers, no less. And--do they cease to work gracefully? Noo--that'd be too polite--it just locks the PC with a black screen and a mouse pointer which is the only thing that responds to anything, forcing a reboot. Nice eh?). I'm already using Firefox, Thunderbird, and OO.o, so the switch shouldn't be too bad :) Best, Glenn -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

NFS /etc/exports question..
I've recently reclaimed a Gentoo server and turned it into a FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE system (::sounds of cheering::). This is our file server, using NFS, and I had a question about /etc/exports: We have two subnets we export to--let's call them 127.0.1.0/255 and 10.0.5.0/255: # /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported. See exports(5). /u2 -alldirs -maproot=root important1.domain.com important2.domain.com /u2/opt/portage -maproot=root -alldirs -network 127.0.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 /u2/opt/portage -maproot=root -alldirs -network 10.0.5.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 /u2 -alldirs -network 127.0.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 /u2 -alldirs -network 10.0.5.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 /usr -network 127.0.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 /usr -network 10.0.5.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 Now, this configuration does not work. I'm curious how to fix it--the logs say: Aug 21 12:29:33 nfsserver mountd[725]: can't change attributes for /u2 Aug 21 12:29:33 nfsserver mountd[725]: bad exports list line /u2 -alldirs -network 127.0.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 Aug 21 12:29:33 nfsserver mountd[725]: can't change attributes for /u2 Aug 21 12:29:33 nfsserver mountd[725]: bad exports list line /u2 -alldirs -network 10.0.5.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 One thing to note is that important1.domain.com and important2.domain.com are within the scope of 127.0.0.0/255. Granted, this wasn't an issue in Linux--I used to have machines listed by name (*.sub.olddomain.com), and had the exceptions listed with the no_root_squash parameter. So, basically.. what am I missing? :-/ Any help would be greatly appreciated. Google & man 5 exports have not been my friends today :-/ Thanks in advance!

The errors I posted were specifically complaining about the 127.0.0.0 and 10.0.5.0 network lines (note, for security I am not posting the real network ranges). The two boxes in question, do have working DNS, and are boxes we use as our NIS masters, so I need to be able to create home directories on the fileserver, where the home directories live, hence needing maproot. The other boxes in the 127.0.0.0/255 range are other servers in my cluster, which need to mount directories from the fileserver--and in my case, a lot of users have sudo capability for testing/development purposes, so I don't want them having -maproot=root capability on those other servers. 10.0.5.0 is a range of IPs where my users mount their home directories and shared tools directories on their desktop boxes.

Upgrading a 5.1-RELEASE-p10 system...
I'd like to update a server from 5.1-RELEASE-p10 to 5.3-STABLE... What I'm wondering is: Are there any caveats to this upgrade? One of my compadres asked me: How stable is stable? Isn't this the release where they change some value from an int16 to an int32 and upgrading needs to be done with extra caution? (i.e. actually go to single user mode even though everyone ignores that step). Or was that something else? Otherwise, I'm all for it. So I just wanted to be sure, so I can plan accordingly...

Re: starting apche service on start up
aaron said the following on 11/01/04 15:15:
Using FreeBSD 4.10 release and confused about what to do with the startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh when installing the port. The package on another machine works fine b/c it just has options to start and stop in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh.
The newer ports are using an rc subroutine (referenced in the script as
rc.subr), which allows for easier enabling/disabling of services via
/etc/rc.conf
The port however has a totally different file asking to:
# Define these apache_* variables in one of these files:
# /etc/rc.conf
# /etc/rc.conf.local
# /etc/rc.conf.d/apache
#
# DO NOT CHANGE THESE DEFAULT VALUES HERE
apache_enable=${apache_enable-"NO"}
apache_flags=$(apache_flags-""}
apache_pidfile=${apache_pidfile-"/var/run/httpd.pid"}
I do not have rc.conf. What's the preferred way of starting apache on boot. Why not just do it the same way as the package?
You really should have an /etc/rc.conf -- have you tried:
cat /etc/rc.conf
At a command line? All you have to do is add:
apache_enable=YES
to the end of the file (/etc/rc.conf) and you can then do:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh start
And that will work. Hope this helps!
Best,
Glenn

php4-* n00b queries...
(oops--I sent this to ports@ should have been here...sorry 'bout that!) Ok.. I'm getting used to the new modular php#-* packages. I would like to streamline this even further by including the proper entries in pkgtools.conf for portupgrade. So, for instance.. when it's upgrading, say databases/php4-dba, I'd like to have it just take the defaults of cdb, inifile and flatfile. Do I put this in the MAKE_ARGS section of pkgtools.conf? ~ 'databases/php4-dba' => 'CDB=1 INIFILE=1 FLATFILE=1', I just want to check this against the ports-gurus on here. :) Thanks, in advance, everyone!
