Re: Installing Samba : FreeBSD Vs Linux ?
Valentin Bud wrote: hello list, a little story about samba and FreeBSD. I had to make a file server for a company that uses a program for accounting. that software works with lots of files to do the job. the software admin told me that the permissions should be very open on the directories and files so i made them 0777. the software worked like a charm for about 2 months but after that at some point the client couldn't access the files on the samba server. The files were there with the correct permissions but the software refused to access them with an error that they don't exist. I've tried to debug samba but couldn't find [...] Here's another story. Our accounting packages also dump their files, databases and settings onto network drives. This is what we tend to do: 1.- Create a dedicated network drive for every software package with its own letter. Let's say package XYZ gets letter Y:. All users connecting to Samba must load network drive for XYZ as Y:. Otherwise some client instances may complain that the database was installed on Y: but there's nothing because it is actually somewhere else. 2.- Create user xyz and group xyz. Then map the XYZ network drive as xyz:xyz. By this, we avoid permission problems. 3.- Whenever we call tech support, we tell them that our network drives are located on a Windows 2003 machine. This saves us unnecessary headaches and warranty issues. We've been doing this for years and it works like a charm.

Set racoon's log to debug/debug2 but couldn't find any lines relevant to the problem in the logs apart from: [1.2.3.4] DEBUG: malformed cookie received. it has to be as the initiator. Out of desperation and pressure in reestablishing the tunnel I restarted the machine. That did the trick. She's up and running without a problem. Now I'm trying to understand what went wrong and how to prevent this thing from occurring in the future. After doing my homework I suspect that the culprit might've been PF. I completely forgot about it when I was restarting ipsec and racoon. Let me add that the machine was running for months and no settings were changed at all. Could that be the MTU, packet reassembly or anything related to PF? What are the thoughts of people working with VPNs? Configuration files and logs are available on request.

Nop. There're no extra files. The only thing the other guys gave me was:
Operation Mode: Tunnel (Net to Net)
Authentication Type: Pre shared secret
Phase 1: 3DES/SHA1, DH Group=2
Phase 2: 3DES/SHA1, PFS=no, DH Group=any
Based on that I got it working.
So, do you reckon the other end suddenly began advertising/requesting aes
and md5 instead of 3des and sha1?

You could use /usr/ports/mail/mimedefang (www.mimedefang.org) miltered into your sendmail. Sorta like py-milter but in perl. The simplest, quickest and dirtiest solution would be to feed a list of valid recipients into mimedefang and let it "accept" or "reject" incoming mail. Then it is a matter of finding a way to keep the list up to date. Or, instead of feeding mimedefang with a list, you could instruct it to poll your internal mail server like you already suggested. For a long term solution I prefer storing aliases, maps, etc. in LDAP. I hope this helps.

Also check the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html By executing "mergemaster -a" you don't actually merge the files. This may not update important files. If you're using customised kernel, then probably you took something important out of it. Try GENERIC to rule this one out. I hope this helps.

Provide as much info as you can. Maybe someone else would be able to provide some help. Just a shot in the dark. Maybe your problem isn't source related. Try troubleshooting your network connection. See if the network card is up and running. Check if IPs are being assigned (ifconfig). Maybe there's a slight error in /etc/rc.conf. If you can ping localhost then you should also be able to ping NIC's IP. Maybe your firewall isn't playing nice. Those were just random thoughts.

I followed your earlier thread (hopefully this is a related topic). This is strange. By default, sendmail is disabled. You don't even have to put anything into rc.conf: # grep sendmail /etc/defaults/rc.conf Sendmail listens and accepts local mail only.

On your host machine (as in jails' host), sendmail binds to localhost and never responds to outside world. This is expected. However, sendmail in a jail, binds to jail's IP address and that is why you can talk to it from outside. Run this on your host: # sockstat -4l | grep sendmail The output should look like this: root sendmail 1624 4 tcp4 1.2.3.5:25*:* root sendmail 1624 4 tcp4 1.2.3.4:25*:* root sendmail 1624 4 tcp4 1.2.3.3:25*:* root sendmail 1624 4 tcp4 1.2.3.2:25*:* root sendmail 1208 3 tcp4 127.0.0.1:25 *:* The first four are jails. The last one is host's sendmail being "disabled". I'd suggest using a firewall to protect your jails instead of trying to completely disable sendmails.

Re: Static Routes, gateways and the end of my sanity
Reuben A. Popp wrote: Hello everyone, can someone please (_please_!!) let me know what I'm doing wrong in the following example? I am near my wits end on implementing this, any suggestions are greatly appreciated! The scenario is that I have a server here with twin nics, bce0 and bce1; I would like bce0 to be connected to our dmz network (192.168.x.x), while bce1 would be on our internal network. A jail will reside on the ip assigned to bce0, while the regular base system will bind to bce1. My current rc.conf consists of the following: --- defaultrouter="10.228.228.254" ifconfig_bce0="inet 192.168.4.80 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_bce1="inet 10.228.228.228 media 100BaseTX mediaopt full-duplex netmask 255.255.255.0" # Enable Jails for multi-homed box (video) jail_enable="YES" jail_list="video" jail_video_rootdir="/usr/local/jail/video" jail_video_hostname="video.eastcentral.edu" jail_video_ip="192.168.4.80" jail_named_exec_start="/bin/sh /etc/rc" jail_video_devfs_enable="YES" # Routed and gateway settings static_routes="net1" route_net1="-net 192.168.4.80/24 -netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.254" -- Of course there's other things in there like binding various services (inetd, syslog, et al) to the internal ip. On bringing the machine up, I can ping both ips just fine; what I can't do is ssh to the dmz address. Yes, sshd is running inside the jail ;). The output of tcpdump shows a connect to that ip on bce0, but all responses appear to be going out on bce1. Again, any suggestions or comments are welcome and appreciated. For the record, the machine is a Dell PowerEdge 2950 running the amd64 6.2-RELEASE-p4 branch. I will gladly supply more info if this isn't enough. You can't bind both host and jail to the same IP. I'd suggest the following re-arrangement: ifconfig_bce0="inet 192.168.4.80 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_bce0_alias0="inet 192.168.4.81 netmask 255.255.255.255" ^^ ^ ^^^ ifconfig_bce1="inet 10.228.228.228 media 100BaseTX mediaopt full-duplex jail_enable="YES" jail_list="video" jail_interface="bce0" ^ jail_video_rootdir="/usr/local/jail/video" jail_video_hostname="video.eastcentral.edu" jail_video_ip="192.168.4.81" ^ jail_named_exec_start="/bin/sh /etc/rc" jail_video_devfs_enable="YES" In other words: Your host binds to bce0 (192.168.4.80) and bce1 (10.228.228.228). The jail binds to bce0_alias0 (192.168.4.81). Also jails will always try to bind to bce0 interface (jail_interface="bce0"). You don't need any routes if your machine acts as a gateway. All traffic from 10.0.0.0/8 will find its way to 192.168.0.0/16 through bc1 and from other net via bc0. Hopefully I didn't misinterpret your problem.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the box. Is htis something I should have them do? It seems /usr is affected, and the /var/log/messages shows a few other errors as well. What's the best way to go about fixing this. Should I ask them to `fsck -y` from console in single user mode since I can't be there to look at the prompts? It all depends on the severity of the situation. Next boot may fix your problem or it may not. It is a good idea to do it in single user mode but if you don't have console/physical access to the box then maybe this could help you: fsck_y_enable="YES" Just add that into the /etc/rc.conf, reboot and wait awhile. After the machine is up and running, fsck it and see if it throws any errors. Let us know how it goes.

Re: startup / shutdown script (rc.d)

thanks for the ideas, i tried both of your suggestions...i manually ran the

the weird part is that the Rails found stop never printed...and im not sure
why the mongrel_rails fails (im assuming that the kldload works fine as it
doesn't print out any error messages if it is successfull)
i guess i will just keep playing with it...
Let's try a different approach. The following is a working script of
your rails:
---
#!/bin/sh
# PROVIDE: rails
# KEYWORD: nojail shutdown
. /etc/rc.subr
name="rails"
start_cmd="${name} start"
stop_cmd="${name} stop"
rails() {
case ${rc_arg} in
start)
echo -n "Starting ${name}: "
echo -n "1 "
echo -n "2 "
echo "3"
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping ${name}: "
echo -n "3 "
echo -n "2 "
echo "1"
;;
*)
echo "dddz"
esac
}
load_rc_config ${name}
run_rc_command "${1}"
---
It looks different, but this is the new way how the OS fires things up.
Place this script as "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/rails". Don't add the
extension to it (.sh). The use of extensions is old school. Chmod it to
555 (or 755).
Now give it a spin:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rails start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rails stop
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rails restart
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rails blah
See what happens and then boot your machine. You'll see how it starts
and stops. Once you're satisfied, tweak it to your needs.
If you want to control all aspects of the thing then you should read:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-starting-services.html
Also read the rc.d(8) and all of its rc.* related man pages.
You can get lots of good examples in "/etc/rc.d/". For instance
"/etc/rc.d/usbd" is the simplest of them all.
Let us know how it goes.
Regards,
Mikhail.

The script appeared to be working through the requirements just fine too. It downloaded all necessary files and was proceeding to the build phase. I'm not sure in which package this occurred but the build just died on me. No errors, just a hard hang. Nothing worked. I could not even Alt+ to a different pseudo terminal. The system just hard hanged. I rebooted and tried the install again with the same result. Hardware problems. I have 384mb of PC 100 memory laying around that I was going to try and test my theory on, but wanted to consult some of the more experienced on this forum before going "hog" wild on this. Just out of curiosity, what are the impacts of using memory chips of unlike speeds in the system at the same time? I've heard, in times past, that if one does mix memory chips, the slower chips should be used in the lower priority (i.e. higher numbered) slots. Is this true, or is this bogus? Faster chips match the speed of the slower ones. You could add that extra chip and see what happens. I'm running FreeBSD 6.2 at work on two "lost-leader", no name "cheap-o" laptops also with 256mb of memory with no problems (granted, they are Celeron 1.7gHz but still). I'm even running X with XFCE or KDE on them. I'm really suspecting faulty memory. Oh, by the way, this is to be a web server therefore, I'm not going to be running any GUIs by default.

In order to disable the submission and hence stop sendmail

sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
This is a partial solution. The complete set of variables is listed

Oops... I stand corrected. My apologies for the noise.

An idea: Assuming you're using ppp, let it restart named after it
connects to the Internet. Have a /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup and put the
following or similar into it:
adsl:
! /etc/rc.d/named restart
Read the ppp man pages for further details.

Mikhail.

:::. Sendmail on FreeBSD -> Deferred: Operation timed out with
Hi, Sendmail and I aren't getting along well. I got this FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p7 box doing SMTP work for me. Everything is fine, but a few domains give me headaches with "Deferred: Operation timed out with " errors. One domain in particular I'm trying to get to work is hospitaldeninos.cl $ host hospitaldeninos.cl hospitaldeninos.cl has address 200.31.44.1 mail is handled by 4 nt_sql_server2.hospitaldeninos.cl. mail is handled by 5 mail.hospitaldeninos.cl. Whenever I try to send anything to that domain I just get the following in my logs: [...] delay=01:00:57, xdelay=00:01:15, mailer=esmtp, pri=210425, relay=mail.hospitaldeninos.cl. [200.29.150.146], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Operation timed out with mail.hospitaldeninos.cl. $sendmail -q -v <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Connecting to nt_sql_server2.hospitaldeninos.cl. via esmtp... <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Connecting to mail.hospitaldeninos.cl. via esmtp... <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Deferred: Operation timed out with mail.hospitaldeninos.cl. Now, I've tried so many things. I put define(`confBIND_OPTS', `WorkAroundBroken')dnl as suggested in some lists into my mc file. I even installed /usr/ports/mail/sendmail just in case there was a problem with the stock one as found 5 years ago (http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-stable_2001/msg14611.html). I've made my way through all possible mailing-lists on the Internet. I compiled, recompiled sendmail who knows how many times with different knobs inside /etc/make.conf. I even ruined my DNS for a few hours trying to fix... something. A few days ago, after I ran out of all possible options I could come up with, I tested my OpenBSD 3.8 box with stock sendmail. The test was successful right away. I'm able to send all e-mails including those ones to hospitaldeninos.cl without problems. So my problem is that the OpenBSD and the FreeBSD box in question sit behind the same NAT connection. The OpenBSD can send e-mails to hospitaldeninos.cl but FreeBSD gets deferred and stuck. I guess this experiment rules out all possibilities that I'm being blacklisted/probed/checked/whatever. So SMART_HOST isn't my remedy just yet. I compared (with diff) most of the sendmail's config files (mc, m4, cf) on both machines. No success in seeing any real difference. They both run sendmail v8.13.4. I even tried to use my other boxes loaded with 5.3-RELEASE-p29 with sendmail 8.13.1. No success whatsoever. I'm pulling my hair out. This is what I get on OpepBSD's log: [...] delay=00:00:04, xdelay=00:00:04, mailer=esmtp, pri=30905, relay=nt_sql_server2.hospitaldeninos.cl. [200.29.150.147], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (M2006051714123500106 Message accepted for delivery) So by comparing the logs, FreeBSD insists on using mail.hospitaldeninos.cl (MX 5) and fails. On the other hand, OpenBSD uses nt_sql_server2.hospitaldeninos.cl (MX 4) and succeeds. Has anyone seen this kind of weirdness? Any ideas on how to fix it? This is driving me nuts. Thanks in advance.

Re: :::. Sendmail on FreeBSD -> Deferred: Operation timed out with
Giorgos, Kevin, thanks a lot for your input. Finally this madness is getting some explanation. I was getting a few beers short of a carton on this one. hospitaldeninos.cl has got some config issues: http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=hospitaldeninos.cl The thing about this whole situation is that my ISP's SMTP can send e-mails to that domain. So I assumed I was doing something wrong with my FreeBSD box, hence the persistence on my behalf. Now I realise that OSes behave differently putting them in the same situation. For instance FreeBSD completely rejects everything. It doesn't want to do anything with such domains. Understandable, fair enough. OpenBSD won't telnet to any of the MXs but will send e-mails happily with no problems at all. On the other hand Mac OS X (Darwin) will telnet to the first MX. It doesn't throw "non-recoverable failure in name resolution" error. So it's even more flexible. I guess everything comes down to OSes and their mailers. How inconvenient. Anyway, I'm gonna send a few e-mails to technical contacts for hospitaldeninos.cl and let them know about this issue. Thanks again guys.

It took me a few months to realise that some legitimate mail was getting lost due to senders' weird configuration on SMTP level. Also sometimes I was getting very long delays and it was unacceptable by the users. I use a mix of sendmail, spamass-milter and spamassassin. It quietly accepts spam and delivers it marked as such but never bounces. It does a great job, can't complain, but 1% manages to get through from time to time. Also, once in awhile legitimate mail gets marked and this is where whitelisting comes in handy.

Yes, sudo can limit the access of what to execute. However, I'd write my own little script (passwd wrapper) that checks whose account is being modified. Then you can prevent misuse.

Hi, You could have something like this: 10.0.0.0/255.255.0.0# for your 100s 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0# for your 1000s 10.2.0.0/255.255.0.0# for the second warehouse Each network would be capable of handling 65,534 hosts.

Maybe it's just some consistency problem. If you have a spare freebsd box, then you could try mounting those drives on it and poke around. Or, you could even chuck those drives into another box (one at a time), boot it up and see what happens (assuming your kernel is pretty much generic). That is just to rule out busted components on current box. There must be a proper and better way for doing this though.

Hi, The following is an extract from: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/vinum-vinum.html [...] Note: Starting with FreeBSD 5, Vinum has been rewritten in order to fit into the GEOM architecture (Chapter 18), retaining the original ideas, terminology, and on-disk metadata. This rewrite is called gvinum (for GEOM vinum). The following text usually refers to Vinum as an abstract name, regardless of the implementation variant. Any command invocations should now be done using the gvinum command, and the name of the kernel module has been changed from vinum.ko to geom_vinum.ko, and all device nodes reside under /dev/gvinum instead of /dev/vinum. As of FreeBSD 6, the old Vinum implementation is no longer available in the code base.

The speed through 100Mb/s Ethernet will be around 5 or 6MB/s and probably you can't go any faster due to your hardware limitations (switch, cables, processor, controllers and especially their drivers).

Right, so pkg_deinstall is the way to go then, isn't? Logically, there is a difference between pkg_delete and pkg_deinstall. Personally, I use the latter.

I guess this is valid when you don't want to clean a port. In my case, I install and clean it right away... the cookie disappears in the process. make install clean pkg_deinstall make install clean Is this the only issue between pkg_delete and make deinstall?

I'm using Apache22 and PHP4. Haven't encountered any problems yet. You
could try PHP4 and see how it goes. As stated above, "make config" and
select apache module. Once you're up and running, you can troubleshoot
your virtual hosts.
Cheers,
Mikhail.

Hi, Conexant chips are winmodems. As far as I'm concerned they're a no go. For instance, Lucent LTs are supported through ports.
