Now the only thing left is getting suEXEC to work in the virtual website directories. + If I run the server as root/wheel, then it gives them root permissions. + If I run the server as nobody/nogroup, it works fine for the virtual users, but then my normal user (~user) accounts don't work (No permissions to read the user directories). + If I run the server as root/wheel, then in the config area put the "user nobody" and "group nogroup" commands, the webserver complains about "Premature end of script headers", which basically means it's failing because it's expecting to run suEXEC as user 'root', but it's actually being ran as user 'nobody'.

Putting the root partition onto a mirrored disk is always a good idea if the hardware supports it. In this case, the DPT controller does. It presents a virtual disk(s) to the BIOS for booting. Entry level DPT is a paradox. Not too many of their low end cards are still being made.

Read chroot(8), or chroot(2) if the chroot command is to be issued from a C program. The basic syntax is: chroot /newroot [COMMAND] Note that the user's shell must exist under the /newroot directory. So, if their shell is /bin/csh, there should exist an executable /newroot/bin/csh as well. Be careful of permissions on executable files, and their parent directories! It is also a good idea to place a subset of the regular /bin (and possibly /sbin) directories under the new root environment. Something that generally also goes without saying is symlinks. Any symlinks that point to locations outside the chroot'ed environment will be broken. For example, ln -s /bin /newroot/bin is a BAD idea, and will not work under chroot. That all being said, running login users under chroot isn't strictly necessary if permissions are carefully set systemwide. I set a umask of 077 for my users (owner full control, group/world no access) so that users can not read each others' files unless explicit access is given. I make use of process and login accounting so I have a searchable database of what goes on, if a crack attempt is made. Read security(7). For ftp logins, simply edit /etc/ftpchroot and add the appropriate username, one per line. Running ftp users in a chroot environment IS a good idea, for reasons of simplicity. Most ftp accounts nowadays are used for web publishing, and users would be confused if presented with a full unix filesystem when their client defaults to the / directory :-) -- Ryan Thompson 50% Owner, Sysadmin SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Mon Feb 21 6:46:55 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from cliff.i-plus.net (cliff.i-plus.net [209.100.20.42]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4231437BDAB for ; Mon, 21 Feb 2000 06:46:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from troy@picus.com) Received: from arcadia (arcadia.i-plus.net [209.100.20.198]) by cliff.i-plus.net (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id JAA08686; Mon, 21 Feb 2000 09:46:45 -0500 (EST) From: "Troy Settle" To: "Matt Heckaman" , "Ryan Thompson" Cc: "FreeBSD-ISP" Subject: RE: Database software.

We're using NIS for user authentication. /v/website1 owned by owner1.patron /v/website2 owned by owner2.patron ... etc. So when they connect & login using FTP, everything works fine.. Configured apache with: --enable-suexec --suexec-caller=root --suexec-gidmin=20 --fpexec-caller=root --fpexec-logfile=/var/log/fpexec.log --fpexec-gidmin=20 --fpexec-user=nobody --fpexec-group=nogroup ... chown'd -R nobody.nogroup /usr/local/frontpage 1st problem is, if /v/website1 isn't chowned nobody.nogroup, Frontpage doesn't and suEXEC don't work for some reason.. If it is chown'd nobody.nogroup then my users can't write to their directories while FTP'd in, and CGI scripts don't work... Am I missing the point, or what? I need my users to be able to get into their servers via FTP -or- Frontpage, and my Apache needs to be able to access users home directories for websites as well (hence running it as root w/suEXEC).

I've used the WaveLAN cards with 3.x without any problems. They use the wl device and work nicely. The configuration interface can be a little odd, the wlconfig utility seems to not always correctly read the current setup from the card, but it will write the right settings. The cards I had were just on loan for doing internet broadcasts from live events a few blocks away. Providing you've got line of sight and the right aerials they'll go a long way. I'm currently playing with Proxim wireless networking devices which are even more fun (and higher bandwidth), they come with an ethernet interface so setup is a breeze. -- C.

When I used IPFW and on the boxes that I still use IPFW on, I had a shell script that would build "firewall.conf" files, or in the case of my network at home, that would bring up a firewall for an interface when I dialled into work or my friend's ISP. My firewall scripts contained something on the lines of the following. KRB5_CLIENTS="host1 host2 host3" KRB_SRVRS="krb1 krb2" KRB_PORTS="88,750" TRUSTED_HOSTS="host1 1.2.3.0/24 host5" for SYSTEM in $KRB5_CLIENTS; do for KRB in $KRB_SRVRS; do fw allow udp from $SYSTEM to $KRB $KRB_PORTS fw allow udp from $KRB $KRB_PORTS to $SYSTEM done done for SYSTEM in $TRUSTED_HOSTS; do .... fw deny log ip from any to any Once a script has been created for a firewall, maintaining the definitions section of the script was easy. To expand on this idea, one could apply this concept to IP Filter rules, thought the syntax would be different. The fw function could become a generic routine that would transform arguments into input for various firewalls.

Currently we provide Internet Access to a small set of businesses. We have a 128K link out to the Internet via a 128K ISDN router. We have a Freebsd box running a multiport serial device which has a combination of analogue and digital modems. One of our ISDN customers now wants more bandwidth. If we purchase a frame relay connection, plug in a Cisco 2501 router, will that provide us with a drop in replacement for our existing router? If our customer also wants a frame connection, how do we handle this - a second Cisco 2501 or something else? Is there another resource I can use to get some answers - even dejanews couldn't seem to help with this one.

However, they now want one of their Ether printers to be accessible from the Internet, so I'm trying to set up a static port map, or redirection. I checked out natd(8) and the command looks pretty simple, it's just a question or where natd is invoked. I tried this in an rc.firewall file, which wouldn't work: /sbin/ipfw -f flush /sbin/ipfw add divert natd -redirect_port tcp 10.0.0.133:35 35 \ all from any to any via tun0 /sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any So, I went back to: /sbin/ipfw -f flush /sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via tun0 /sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any then, in rc.conf, tried: natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="tun0" natd_flags="-redirect_port tcp 10.0.0.133:35 35" I didn't get any errors, but it doesn't appear to be working, either (I have the customer calling the printer vendor to make sure they have the printer's gateway settings correct right now).

Just a quick note to point out that the original poster was from Australia - we don't have T1's here. :-) We have this strange thing called DDS Fastway which offers bandwidth between 64k and 1984k in 64k increments, or good old ISDN, or a 2Mbit megalink. All at horribly large Tel$tra prices, of course - a 64k ISDN semi perm link calling within 25km costs about $AUD270 a month, which is roughly $US160/month. That's excluding any content, that is just the low level link at the "A" end. Grumble, grumble, grumble. ... Sorry, got a little carried away, I go all green with envy when I hear how cheap p-t-p links are in other countries. (Don't buy stuff direct from other countries unless you are 100% sure it's compatible with your local telco interfaces!)

I'm pretty sure the etinc card does the E1 equivalent; I'd guess that's the 2Mbit megalink and the "Fastway" sounds like Frame Relay, but definitely double check first... -- Alan Batie ______ www.rdrop.com/users/batie Me batie@agora.rdrop.com \ / www.qrd.org The Triangle PGPFP DE 3C 29 17 C0 49 7A \ / www.pgpi.com The Weird Numbers 27 40 A5 3C 37 4A DA 52 B9 \/ www.anti-spam.net NO SPAM! --K53pWzbayAr5lq+2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBOLK7yIv4wNua7QglAQFyeQQAwdXL+fqx2lYKVi+oPlq01QF09hkX0/Bs xPtxwRayDCP7E7+IPJEpLtez+NhhOm5pCtuV0ZR0pUhN0/jfO6UcxRLjFgt+6QUW +clmxLwSS2EKDDI9m/U1NNL3hOMQdpuZ4BUMPe02uSCBacCbGyi8QmdrgNrtjTPp jua0Nt3Yx+s= =7tpm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --K53pWzbayAr5lq+2-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Tue Feb 22 10: 8:55 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from inc.net (mailhost.inc.net [204.95.160.26]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8D21237B718 for ; Tue, 22 Feb 2000 10:08:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from steve@inc.net) Received: from inc.net (niki.pwke.twtelecom.net [207.250.66.46]) by inc.net (8.9.3/8.9.1) with ESMTP id MAA20455; Tue, 22 Feb 2000 12:08:36 -0600 (CST) Message-ID: <38B2CFD3.13D66A53@inc.net> Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2000 12:05:08 -0600 From: Steve Kaczkowski Organization: Time Warner Telecom - IDD X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.7 [en] (Win98; U) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Stuart Henderson Cc: "Miguel A.L.

They may panic or double-panic under heavy load. I only ever noticed this on my squid-caches (3mbps, 20-25 hits/sec).

If you have a look in man ppp there are various options to Let me clarify: We already have them running NAT with user ppp just fine, I just want to add a static port map to an internal printer on port 35. I found the commands to do so in the nat man(8) man pages, but I'm a little unclear about where/how to invoke it (FBSD 3.2-RELEASE) If you read my post again, you'll see that I put: natd_flags="-redirect_port tcp 10.0.0.133:35 35" in rc.conf after the invocation of nat and the interface info.

[...] > I currently need something for ipfw [...] I've got 93 lines of Perl I used with 2.2.8's ipfw: Preprocessor for ipfw(8) rules, or anything else that uses line-oriented statements. Functionality: - Removes #-style comments and blank lines - Compresses all white space - Replaces macros, which are any line with an = sign, as in: name = value containing spaces - Append to macro values using +=, as in longmacro = A macro with lots of longmacro += added words. Note that *no* whitespace is added between parts - Special multi-line macros. Any input line containing a macro that was defined with '==' gets generated once for each word in the macro definition Note that macros don't have arguments at all. so you can say something like: Ifc = ed1 # Card facing outside world MyNet == 198.240.64.0/18 # List of subnets MyNet +== 206.225.0.0/19 Any = from any to any # Branch on direction add skipto 1000 ip Any recv Ifc # Recieved from outside world add skipto 4000 ip Any xmit Ifc # Sent to outside world add permit ip Any # Recieve rules add 1000 deny log ip from MyNet to any It made a 170-line ipfw filter much more understandable and maintainable, since the critical address ranges could easily be edited into several different rules. I also wrote a version of this for Cisco configs; it expanded CIDR notation addresses in several different ways, like: PRIVIP == 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16 access-list 112 deny ip any PRIVIP # No private nets leaking out Ask and ye shall recieve.

What it boils down to is that the natd man page is a complete waste of time :-/ (somebody already told me this, but did *I* listen? noooo...)

Since I don't want a machien panicing during a dos attack on top of all the other lovely problems, I set this very very high. Perhaps I'm giving it overkill, but I've never had a machine panic from it again, so I'm happy with the result.

I should have said; using natd with (user) ppp is a waste of time. Greg's (mostly excellent) book confused me here a bit, as it had instructions for using both together, and included the -alias switch, which I'm beginning to realize, negated the need for any natd-specific configuration. > >All I needed was the one alias port line in my /etc/ppp/conf, and that was > >it. > > Case in point: I wasn't using PPP -- I was setting up a nat/ipfw > firewall for a DSL connection (with a static IP address).... > > So in my case, it was quite helpful... and I'll take this opportunity to > extend a hearty "thank you!" to the folks who contributed to natd (and > ipfw). ditto to the people that helped straighten out my confused brain. :) Thanks!

Could be that previous rateup run isn't finished before next one starts. It can take a while depending on how many targets and how busy the machine running MRTG is. --jeff ============================================================================ Jeffrey A.

We are using Compaq ProLiant 2500 with SMART-2SL RAID SCSI controller card right now. I'm planning to install FreeBSD on one of these Compaq ProLiant 2500. But one of the problem is hard disk. Currently we use 18GB hard disk for this server. 18GB is the maximum hard disk from Compaq for this series according to manual. Can I use the 3rd vendor 40GB/50GB hard disk for this server? Is there anyone who has experience with 40/50GB seagate(whatever... third party product) and FreeBSD? Is there no problem with FreeBSD and Bios? Please let me know.

(How many routes?) As I understand it the OSPF code is in a state of flux. My box is using up the 16MB after only 20 hours of uptime, 294 routes, 9 neighbors. Fortunately, OSPF is not too critical for this box, but BGP is. And, many of those routes are serial interface /30's not properly aggregated - bad design =) ---m -- Miguel "Migs" A.L.

Although Zebra is probably the way of the future, you may want to look at gateD for now. Its bgp and ospf has been quite reliable for us. Its features are sparse, but it might have all that you need. With two full views, you want more than 128M of RAM if you really are going to install 70K+ routes in the kernel routing table. 196 is fine, but with the cost of RAM these days, you might as well throw in 256MB. With a decent Celeron (433 is fine), you can get some pretty OK convergence times. On one of my borders, I push about ~15Mb/s though 4 ethernet interfaces with a dozen ipfw filter rules. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."

My current startup setup is a FreeBSD box with a Multiport serial card, some analog modems, and some analog phone lines. It works great, but I want to know how to expand past just offering 33.6 analog connections. I do realize that providing ISDN would be pretty easy, just using digital modems & phone lines in place of my current analog ones would do the trick I think. But, my questions arise when trying to provide DSL access or 56k (v.90) access to my customers. If someone could point me to some resources on the web that might clear things up for me, I'd definitely appreciate it. Thanks a ton!!

Anyone got any leads? I've been "toying" with this idea myself, for some time... I considered using NORTON Ghost (as mentioned in another post), but it's got a problem in that it won't expand the partitions to fit the disk (it doesn't understand UNIX filesystems)... One thing I've done, is to take a dump of each of the major filesystems that I need (/, /usr, /var, /squid, and any others you might consider), and dump them & compress (gzip) them to a file. I can then use restore to re-create the FS. An alternative is to create a compressed tar archive, and place that on the CD. All the above is possible. What I need / want, is a way to partion and label the disk, in such away that I can say "if the HD is greater than 1Gb, then create / partition at 10% overall disk space, otherwise create / at 25Mb", etc. all from a set of scripts. And of course this has to be a bootable CD with just the above scripts, and archives. Been toying with the idea of PicoBSD to do the bootable part, and put the utils on that are needed... TIME, that's what I need... If anyone else has any ideas, I'd appreciate hearing them too.

Seems that once in a while, OE would think there was more coming to a specific message (completely downloaded), and wait. The POP server sits and waits for mailer activity. It's a standoff, and I've seen this on other mailservers as well, including NTMail, and Imail.. Often, the message holding things up, has an attachment. I usually wind up manually going into the pop, and deleting the message. I haven't seen this in OE 5. Occasionally it would happen with some Netscape Messenger versions too. With 5 tho, it will get it's messages mixed up a little, and download much mail before aborting (saving messages) though not deleting them on the server too, hehe. The fix is, close all OE/IE crap (reboot is the most likely way to guarentee this), then start OE, and "Compact all folders" from the "File" menu.. Then redo the closing... Apon restart, all should be well again.. This happens with Large mail folders. I get that with the folder I put the CFTalk (Cold Fusion Developers list). It's up to about 17,000 messages, hehe. Of course there, you may wind up with several copies of a message (scheduled autofetch), before you catch it, since it won't stop OE from trying again as setup in refresh...
