Perhaps even with the > possibillity to stop certain standard users for relaying (i.e, root etc) That just opens you up to unauthorized relaying, except that you make the spammer make it look like it comes from your domain (on the from line) which would just make people think that its authorized. Also, places like ORBS check for that form of `relay protection' and will list you if you allow it. POP Before SMTP, Authenticated SMTP and limiting access to your own netblocks are the only ``secure'' methods of denying relaying. Unfortunately, authenticated SMTP (by far the best solution) isn't all that widespread yet, and I don't know any freeware programs that come with AuthSMTP built in.

We have a DPT based system, and it's both fast and reliable, so much so - if I was building any other system (e.g. Windows NT etc.) - I'd probably also go for DPT :) There was some talk a while ago about Mylex - but it seems to be a little out the picture now (though may well be being worked on behind the scenes)... -Karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Sun Jun 13 13:10: 5 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from vulcan.addy.com (vulcan.addy.com [207.239.68.7]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7B66714D72 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 13:10:02 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from francisco@natserv.com) Received: from your-name (TC4-dial-202-215.oldslip.inch.com [207.240.215.202]) by vulcan.addy.com (8.8.5/8.6.12) with SMTP id QAA04211 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 16:10:01 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: <199906132010.QAA04211@vulcan.addy.com> From: "Francisco Reyes" To: "FreebSD ISP list" Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 16:11:14 -0400 Reply-To: "Francisco Reyes" X-Mailer: PMMail 98 Professional (2.01.1600) For Windows 98 (4.10.1998) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Looking for ISP to host chat Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I am looking for an ISP to host some chat channels.

Sendmail doesn't have it yet, >although Eric says it will be in the next rev (I believe) Is it likely that you will ever see something like this built-in ? I ask because there are so many different POP3 servers (although by covering qpopper, cucipop and ipop3d, you'd probably cover at least 60% of them), and the functionality lies not in sendmail, but rather in an external program constantly evaluating pop connections and putting hosts in and removing hosts from a "allow relay" database. And of course, several Win32 clients are stupid and SEND first and then receive, and don't allow you to choose; resulting in your users whining; notably, M$-crap e-mail clients. Pegasus and Eudora work correctly, from what I remember. Does anyone know of any SMTP server or e-mail client that supports username+password pairs for SMTP relaying ? If that was the case, I'm sure it would be relatively easy to patch the authentication module to do lookups via Radius or LDAP. --- Khetan Gajjar (!kg1779) * khetan@iafrica.com ; khetan@os.org.za http://www.os.org.za/~khetan * Talk/Finger khetan@chain.freebsd.os.org.za FreeBSD enthusiast * http://www2.za.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Sun Jun 13 18:26:17 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from picnic.mat.net (picnic.mat.net [206.246.122.133]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2C11D14E6E for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 18:26:13 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from chuckr@picnic.mat.net) Received: from localhost (chuckr@localhost) by picnic.mat.net (8.9.3/8.8.5) with ESMTP id VAA15221 for ; Sun, 13 Jun 1999 21:26:12 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 21:26:12 -0400 (EDT) From: Chuck Robey To: FreeBSD-ISP Subject: ppp using dynamic IPs Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I am setting up a new machine, the server side of a bunch of ppp connections, and I have it now working for static IPs.

Hmm, this isn't very ``searchable'' in the user-ppp man page (I'll add the word ``dynamic'' somwhere :-) Hisaddr may also be specified as a range of IP numbers in the format IP[-IP][,IP[-IP]]... for example: set ifaddr 10.0.0.1 10.0.1.2-10.0.1.10,10.0.1.20 The range can be put in ppp.conf as above or even in ppp.secret if you want to change the range based on their pap or chap username. > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- > Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data > chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. > 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | > Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic and jaunt, both FreeBSD-current. > (301) 220-2114 | > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !

Setting DontBlameSendmail does not have effect. "UnsafeGroupWrites" too. WHY? 2. When one from users of my server (BSD/OS 2.1, very old :-( ),which work with old version (8.7.3) without any troubles, senidng mail with new Sendmail, it suddenly say "Relaying denyed" :-( But it was ordinary mail from my user into world! I don't probe set advanced features, like granted relay domain lists, simply grant third-party relaying. Work begin... :-( 3. What is a file /var/log/mailacct? With my old version (8.7.3) with each mail, comes with SMTP or UUCP, into it add one line with sender/recipient/time/length of message. With new version, I don't see any setup for this file.

AuthSMTP is where you authenticate directly to the SMTP server rather than popping first and requires support from the mail client. I think Netscape and Outlook do this but it's still not too widespread. Another alternative is to check for a 'password' in the HELO which in many cases is easier to set (for example on Windows you would just put it into the domain name box in tcp/ip dns config).

It was easy to saturate the poor thing. Further investigation suggests that this is probably because RAID parity calculation is done by the on-board CPU rather than by silicon. Under normal operation, I only need 1 or 2 MB/s writes, but being limited to not much more than that by the DPT would have been very irritating. SCSI-to-SCSI RAID controllers are nicer and the Mylex can be configured from the front panel (as opposed to something like the DPT SmartRAID IV which requires a DOS app). They appear to the OS as an actual storage device, rather than as a number of discrete drives. This means that you can install OS and stuff on them too, because the PC BIOS sees them as a single drive too. da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0 da1: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da1: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 16, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da1: 61278MB (125497344 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 7811C) CMD makes a smaller and I believe less expensive unit. If you are less into performance and simply need RAID5 ability, that may be the way to go... it is half-height too, as opposed to the full-height Mylex. However, the CMD unit has some performance limits (#tags, as I recall). The DAC960SX comes in a three-channel config (2 drive, 1 host) with 16MB cache for a bit more than $2K. ...

Roaming? A user who takes a notebook on vacation. Dialing a local ISP in Windows 95/98 is just a matter of typing a different number on the opening screen. To a normal user, changing your SMTP server is far more complex. A lot of ISPs are using 'POP before SMTP'. Rather kludgy in my opinion but it does the job until better options open up. In this scenario a user must attempt to retrieve email first. The pop server then updates a sendmail database of what IPs are allowed to relay. The IP address falls out X minutes after being allowed in. http://www.cynic.net/~cjs/computer/sendmail/poprelay.html is the best source for this info I think. -Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Mon Jun 14 19:17:37 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from aurora.sol.net (aurora.sol.net [206.55.65.76]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B8B5714C47 for ; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 19:17:34 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jgreco@aurora.sol.net) Received: (from jgreco@localhost) by aurora.sol.net (8.9.2/8.9.2/SNNS-1.02) id VAA65880; Mon, 14 Jun 1999 21:17:12 -0500 (CDT) From: Joe Greco Message-Id: <199906150217.VAA65880@aurora.sol.net> Subject: Re: Hardware RAID for FreeBSD In-Reply-To: <37656F58.D7C46358@eclipse.net.uk> from Stuart Henderson at "Jun 14, 1999 10: 8:40 pm" To: stuart@eclipse.net.uk (Stuart Henderson) Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 21:17:09 -0500 (CDT) Cc: wheelman@nuc.net, jgreco@ns.sol.net, freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG, kpielorz@tdx.co.uk, rjebara@palnet.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL43 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > > I'm not sure about the speed of the SmartRAID V stuff (U2W > > suite), but the configuration is all done through the BIOS now. > > No DOS App is needed to configure. > > Bios is no better than a dos app if it's a critical system and > you have to reboot to reconfigure so you can add more disks :( In all fairness, I believe someone was porting the DPT tool set to FreeBSD. However, for me at least it will be too little too late. The DPT has several limiting factors, including the overall capacity that it is able to deal with (three SCSI busses). The Mylex is available in a five-disk-channel configuration, cabling is much less a problem since you can put the Mylex external, and it works well. The Mylex can also use up to 256MB cache RAM and has battery backup. For the heavier applications, you can also hook up two hosts (leaving you with four drive busses) or two Mylexes in a redundant "partner" configuration that is reportedly even faster... or several other combinations of the above. All of this can be configured via serial, front panel, or (for the finer nuances) via a DOS software utility. You can actually build a RAID5 with nothing but the four buttons on the front of the controller. I think my next choice would be the Vinum RAID5 stuff... if I could ever get it to work. ...

Too bad though, they look like nice units.

I try both pulling the power cable and pulling the SCSI cable. It's possible that you could confuse the system if you pull the data cable during a transfer, but it hasn't happened to me yet, and anyway, this is a test environment. The way Vinum handles these errors, there are really only two errors that count: 1. Drive goes away. CAM reports "invalidating pack", and Vinum takes the drive down and all associated subdisks into the "crashed" state. If the drive comes back before any writes are attempted, the drive goes into a "reborn" state if there are other plexes, or an "up" state if there are none. In "reborn", Vinum will write to the subdisk, but it won't read it if it can get the data elsewhere. 2. I/O error on a transfer. Vinum marks the subdisk "stale". In either case, what happens to the plexes is relatively complex. Normally they're marked "degraded". The volumes stay up as long as *anything* is accessible (since otherwise you'd get I/O errors when you tried to access them).

From what I've seen, it may be very favourable for Vinum.

Maillog > usage lead to rewriting big program :-( You could write a program that reads maillog and writes it to mailacct for your statistics program. You have to search for the info though, it is written over at least two lines (and maybe more when you have messages with >1 recipient). It would be best to search by both message-ID and queue number, because message-ID can be user supplied it may not be unique, and queue number is generated from process number and also may not be unique - both together should be ok though. It will probably be far easier to modify your copy of sendmail to write mailacct. From a quick look through the code, I guess you need to modify logdelivery() and also the calls so that both sender and recipient are available (at the moment it only has recipient info). Of course if you only need to know how many emails a certain user has sent, rather than the recipient or how many of their emails have been delivered, it will be much easier to use a simple awk or perl script to rewrite the line format to something you can use.

It's a little perl script that is fed pop3/imap logs and that directly changes the accesstable, and another that expires these entries after some time.

Nice SMTP server is zmailer - http://www.zmailer.org - it supports WHOSON protocol (included in contrib part of distribution) which lets zmailer check WHOSON daemon for temporary authorized IPs to relay. You patch all aps to communicate IP to whosond so zmailer can check for them when unknown hosts try to relay. Patching is very simple - bare bones examples are 2 lines in one .c and modification of Makefile to include whoson files - included are patch for imap and radiusd. I patched cucipop to use whoson - it works nicely here for some time. Whoson is general solution which works via unix domain sockets, udp and tcp.

I like spam-protection, but this is to much for my taste! there are check_local patches (link from the dul page on maps.vix.com) which let you set up dbm's for spam_haters and spam_friends so you can set spam_haters as people that really, really don't want spam (and use orbs for them), normal as dul+maps, and spam_friends as no protection. > Do mail-clients use AuthSMTP?? Netscape and Outbreak do, possibly some more as well. > What are the alternatives to using sendmail, anyway? Specifically re:AuthSMTP, I'm not sure, but in general I'd say qmail, exim, and postfix all certainly warrant a look. Check your freebsd mailing list received lines for postfix, I'm sure you already know of qmail, and Exim is used by some very large isps (1.5 million+ accounts) and a number of universities. I am sure there are more as well, and if a mailer doesn't support authsmtp as standard it's worth digging around for patches if you want to try. Regarding ms clients inability to pop before smtp, you can always have your users run a simple pop3 mailbox checking program and run that before they use your smtp...

For any service which loads pwd.h, can you just define an alternate to pwd.h that points to an alternate location and load that instead? What about services which load pwd.h but also have calls to getpwnam() or getpwuid() (which presumably have pwd.h compiled into them already)? Will these work? And then there is the broader question of whether or not there is a better way to do this than creating an alternate pwd.h.

At a guess I'd say that the differences between SCO's drivers and ours would probably squash this outright - the DPT manager software needs very low level access to the DPT, and is probably tied to their driver...

The drives themselves are standard drives, just make sure you buy the same exact model as the ones you already have in the filer. The hard part is finding the carriers. I don't know of any place to buy those, although there must be someone that sells them. I recently installed a replacement 9 gb drive in one of my filers and I only paid a little over $300 for the drive. Netapp charges almost $2000 for the same drive.

Yes, the newer 700 family of filers user fiber channel drives. However, since the original question was specifically asking about seagate barracuda scsi drives I made the blind assumption that the person had one of the older filers. Even so, are they making some form of mod to the fiber channel drives or are they just using standard drives. I haven't received my new F740 filer yet so I'm not sure what they have in them, other than the fact that I know they are using 18 gb fiber channel drives. I have seen seagate 18 gb fiber channel drives advertised for a lot less than what Netapp is charging me for the drives, but I would assume that my original caution will still hold true: make sure you buy the *exact* same model that Netapp is using or they wont work. -- David H.

Very nice little product.

This explains why Eurologic's web site has more VMS than NT or Unix references in their tech stuff. I was really wondering why they mentioned VMS disk structures so specifically. It was like walking into a museum... - Jy@ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Thu Jun 17 16:18:58 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from kerouac.deepwell.com (deepwell.com [209.63.174.12]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 1BB9715673 for ; Thu, 17 Jun 1999 16:16:22 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from freebsd@deepwell.com) Received: (qmail 13444 invoked from network); 17 Jun 1999 23:55:37 -0000 Received: from file.dcomm.net (HELO terry) (209.63.175.10) by deepwell.com with SMTP; 17 Jun 1999 23:55:37 -0000 Message-Id: <4.1.19990617161211.0145f390@mail1.dcomm.net> X-Sender: freebsd@mail.deepwell.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.1 Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 16:17:34 -0700 To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org From: Deepwell Internet Subject: tools for IP analysis Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, Quite a few of our users play online games through the various game servers, i.e. Quake II, Tribes, Starcraft, etc. I've had a couple of reports that users are getting high latency and some packet loss. When I ping the servers they're playing on I show perfect packet response and low latency. I also show this when I ping the customer through his modem. I know this could I know most of these games communicate through UDP so I'm wondering if there are any good tools for analyzing packets using either TCP or UDP rather than ICMP. What are some other ISP's solutions for customer complaints like this? Thanks!

You may want to check out echoping in the /usr/ports/net collection. According to the docs: "echoping" is a small program to test (approximatively) performances of a remote host by sending it TCP "echo" (or other protocol) packets. - uses the protocols echo, discard, chargen or HTTP, - uses UDP instead of TCP for the protocols which accept it (like echo), - can repeat the test and display various measures about it, - can use T/TCP on systems which support it. Haven't tried it myself. --Mark -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-isp Fri Jun 18 13:46:31 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Received: from arnold.neland.dk (mail.neland.dk [194.255.12.232]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5389E15079 for ; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 13:46:23 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from leifn@neland.dk) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by arnold.neland.dk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id WAA21829 for ; Fri, 18 Jun 1999 22:46:16 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from leifn@neland.dk) Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 22:46:16 +0200 (CEST) From: Leif Neland To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: key for https Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org We got a real verisign'ed key for one of our webservers.
