captive Portal Pfsense + FreeRadius + MySQL DBMS

[Shiv. Nath]

Dear Friends Greetings,

i have a question for you, i am sure someone can help. The pfsense captive
portal is up and running. Time countdown vouchers are working without
issue, such as 30m, 45m, 1h & so on.

However, I'd like to set up a download quota of 200MB per voucher. but
then you need to login with a username and password, instead of vouchers.
but I haven't found a way to generate username & password when generating
vouchers. is there someone who managed to get this working? At the moment
vouchers are only for time based login.

any clue, little information or document reference would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks / Prabhpal S.

This is a question that will best answered on either pfSense mailing list
or their online forums.  If you need to ask freebsd, use freebsd-general
mailing list where someone might have an idea.

This comment surprises me - having the svn revision there is one of the
best thigns about moving to svn from csup for me. I can look at a running
machine, and know how to chekcout precisely the code is was built from. Very
useful.

You're right, but one who install a 9.1-RELEASE from iso will obviously
still have the same SVN revision, of course it is still great when
following -STABLE.

How to create Jail in FreeBSD

[Andriy Kornatskyy]

Operating system virtualization is the most effective way to utilize your 
system resources, jails let you setup isolated mini-systems. Jails are explains 
well in handbook however, from practical standpoint of view, the presented 
material is incomplete.

The post below setup few scrips that follow handbook's 'Application of Jails' 
article and enhance with few missing features (networking related).

http://mindref.blogspot.com/2012/12/freebsd-jail.html

Comments or suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

Problem is not release, problem are ports:
second day and I am still running update for cyrus-sasl and pcre new
because there are so many errors. Today I check /usr/ports/UPDATE and I saw
another week for update: ImageMagick -r...
And than after March we will gt GIMP 2.8, KDE whatever version...and New
year will be here...

And the same story repeat again...

Hi,
Perhaps a note that

sysctl security.jail.allow_raw_sockets=1

no longer works on RELENG_9

you need to do it on a per jail basis it seems.

Mike,

Unfortunately, this doesn't work per jail (FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE-p3)... not ready 
yet?

Just double checked, sysctl as global settings works.

/usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh, SYSDIR set to wrong directory.

[Kimmo Paasiala]

Hello,

My 9-STABLE buildworld broke in a very inexplicable way,  I was
getting an error on /usr/src/include/osreldate.h that I couldn't
figure out until I started looking at the sys/conf/newvers.sh and what
it does. It turned out that the thing that broke my buildworld was
having .git directory at the root directory of the system because I
recently started using GIT to track the configuration files.

I added some debug echos to the newvers.sh and I found out it's
setting SYSDIR to /bin/.. which in turn causes the newvers.sh to set
the gitdir to /.git and that seems to break the logic in newvers.sh.

Isn't SYSDIR supposed to be set to the sys -subdirectory of the source
tree (/usr/src/sys default)?

I'm guessing the reason the SYSDIR gets set to /bin/.. is the line in
newvers.sh:

SYSDIR=$(dirname $0)/..

$0 is actually /bin/sh and not the path to newver.sh because the
newvers.sh is sourced by the Makefile in /usr/src/include instead of
executing it:

osreldate.h: ${.CURDIR}/../sys/conf/newvers.sh ${.CURDIR}/../sys/sys/param.h \
${.CURDIR}/Makefile
@${ECHO} creating osreldate.h from newvers.sh
@MAKE=${MAKE}; \
PARAMFILE=${.CURDIR}/../sys/sys/param.h; \
. ${.CURDIR}/../sys/conf/newvers.sh; \

Now the question is how to fix this?

Perhaps it could be handled similar to PARAMFILE, something like this in
the makefile:

  PARAMFILE=${.CURDIR}/../sys/sys/param.h; \
  SYSDIR=${.CURDIR}/../sys; \
 . ${.CURDIR}/../sys/conf/newvers.sh; \

I'm not sure if newvers.sh needs to work in ways that don't involve
being invoked from that makefile rule, so to be safe it could have
default handling, something like:

 : ${SYSDIR:=$(dirname $0)/..}

download quota of 200MB per voucher

[Prabhpal S. Mavi]

Dear Friends,

i have a question for you, i am sure someone can help. The pfsense captive
portal is up and running. Time countdown vouchers are working without
issue, such as 30m, 45m, 1h & so on.

However, I'd like to set up a download quota of 200MB per voucher. but
then you need to login with a username and password, instead of vouchers.
but I haven't found a way to generate username & password when generating
vouchers. is there someone who managed to get this working? At the moment
vouchers are only for time based login.

any clue, little information or document reference would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks

Please, don't work so hard!

ImageMagick required a re-installation of exactly ONE port on my
laptop, editors/emacs (which has now been fixed so it actually will
re-build). pcre was worse, but still I got everything for all of the
commits yesterday rebuilt in a few hours yesterday afternoon. The only
REAL issue was avahi-app which has a badly ordered set of lib
directories. (Yes, I should submit a PR to get this fixed.)

Install sysutils/bsdadminscripts and run:
pkg_libchk -o | grep LIB_THAT_GOT_BUMPED | cut -f1 -d: | sort | uniq > SOMEFILE
portmaster -D `cat SOMEFILE`

pkg_libchk will take a while. On my 2 year old Core i5 laptop it takes
around 6 minutes for my 1100 installed ports, but it does let you know
just how it is prograssing.

This will build a vastly smaller number of ports. You will probably
need to remove graphics/py-clutter from SOMEFILE if you have it
installed as it is BROKEN for the moment. There may be a couple of
others, as well.

If you use pkgng, please try editing /usr/local/sbin/pkg_libchk to
replace "pkg_info" with "pkg info" in all locations and let me know
how it works, . I'm hoping that will make it work with pkgng, but I
have no way to check as I can't currently use pkgng on any of my
systems, yet.

I'd like to draw people's attention to one of the newer capabilities of
pkgng as it's directly relevant to this problem.  You can use pkgng to
track which shared libraries are used by binaries in all packages.
Shared library use is determined by analysing the dynamic loading
information recorded in ELF binaries -- either executables or shared
libraries -- so it's pretty reliable.

The feature is turned off by default, but you can enable it by adding:

SHLIBS: YES

to ${LOCALBASE}/etc/pkg.conf and then generate the shlib info by:

pkg check -Ba

This will take a while on a system with lots of packages installed: it
will investigate every file installed by every package.  If you aren't
using a repo where the shlibs function is enabled, you'll have to use
pkg check thike this on any new pkgs you subsequently install.

Then, for example, you can find all the pkgs with files that link
against, say, libssh2 by:

worm:~:% pkg query -a "%n-%v %B" | grep libssh2
curl-7.24.0_1 libssh2.so.1

Cheers,

Matthew

Thanks, that works. Should I file a PR about this?

There are other issues with this that should be resolved (in
particular, modifying include/Makefile that FreeNAS has been packing
around for a year or so now). Filed a PR here a year ago, but no one
has committed it yet even though it should be trivial enough to review
and commit: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=misc/160646 .

Alfred/Josh/Xin: could you please commit this change first?

Thanks!

9.1 system hung with top open on console, yet responsive on ssh sessions?

[dweimer]

I ran into a weird one, have a 9.1 test system (virtual in VMWare 
Workstation 9) that I left running logged into the console with top 
running.  The console the top process it was running appear to have 
hung, can't use ALT + F1,F2... to switch virtual consoles.  However I 
can log in to the system via ssh, if you run top you get the same 
information on the console, can even interact with it, switching search 
order and the like.  systat also seems to not display current 
information.  I can do everything I have tried through the console 
except I noticed that syslog isn't writing data and a /etc/rc.d/syslog 
restart hung as well.


This is just a test system running one single Java program (Ubiquiti 
UniFi controller software) that is responding just fine as well.  
Thought maybe it was disk access related, however I have confirmed that 
I can read and write to the disk, used dd if=/dev/random 
of=/.../random.out..., to each file system and was able to write to all 
of them.  Before I reboot the system (I have a feeling it won't reboot 
cleanly), I was curious if anyone else has ever seen this and what I 
should check to possibly identify what caused the problem.

Might have discovered its probable related to 
 
as I noticed as well that that date command was always returning 
yesterdays date with the time set the same as top returned.


I went ahead and reset the virtual machine with the sysctl value set as 
listed in the thread linked to above.  will see if I hit the issue again 
or not.  Though this application will be moved off this test system to 
my actual serve as soon as the 9.1-Release is official.  so it may not 
be running long enough to know if that is the real solution.

That looks like a useful feature. But why is it saying this?

[Brian]

A few hours ago I ran freebsd-update on a 9.1 RC3 VM system on an esxi 
server and got 9.1-RELEASE. I know there hasnt been an announcement but 
it would appear it is very close.

Ah -- that would be a bug.  At a guess, it's not finding the shlibs
because they're in a location not on the usual path and there's
something odd about the RPATH settings in the binaries.  I shall
investigate further.

Cheers,

9.1 memstick install panics on boot

[Alexey Dokuchaev]

Hey folks,

Was going to try 9.1/amd64 on this Lenovo box with E5500 I have here at
$work.  Unfortunately it panics immediately upon boot [1].  Seems it be
ACPI-related, as disabling it allows the boot to proceed a little further
but still panic [2].

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS booted and worked just fine on this box, yet I could
not get anywhere with any memstick.img since 8.0.  Any idea what's going
on here?  I've tried dumping DSDT and rebuilding it, did not help.

Verbose bootlogs can be found here:

[1] http://193.124.210.26/9.1-acpi.dmesg
[2] http://193.124.210.26/9.1-noacpi.dmesg

This same issue with firefox was reported in this PR:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=131237

And included a simple fix which was rejected by the firefox maintainer
due to firefox sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH at runtime to find its share
libraries.

Ok, I've tested a patch, and so far things look much better...  It shuts
up all the bad probe messges...

Though I ran across a bug where the card went out to lunch giving these
messages:
(da2:hpt27xx0:0:2:0): READ(10). CDB: 28 0 a5 4c ae d8 0 0 58 0 
(da2:hpt27xx0:0:2:0): CAM status: SCSI Status Error

(da3:hpt27xx0:0:3:0): CAM status: SCSI Status Error
(da3:hpt27xx0:0:3:0): SCSI status: OK

Scott Long suggested the first part of the patch so that an error is
actually generated...  Though it would be good for the sense data to
be set, but not sure where to get it...
