You don't even get a glimpse of the power/fun of FreeBSD until you're connected to the net. It took me an embarassingly long length of time to figure out ppp the first time around; I've since connected 3 other boxes in less than 5 minutes each. (UNIX is definitely easier the 2nd time around). Read the tutorial and download the latest version of PPP at http://www.awfulhak.org as this will save several hours of frustration.

Do you know for 100% that you have removed the hackers, and all their equipment from your compromised system? It's not uncommon for hackers once they have a connection to leave numerous back doors in the system - so they can get in again... Even your firewall won't help with that... The only way you can be 100% sure you have got rid of them is probably to either reinstall the machine, or break out the backups form a time you are _certain_ you weren't hacked... Once you have the new machine up, follow all the security guidelines (i.e. use a firewall like your doing, make sure the machine only runs the services you need - e.g. disable everything you don't need from inetd etc.) Only then will you stand a chance of keeping them out... As for attacks via UDP - this is certainly possible, though I've not seen any exploits for FreeBSD and UDP for as long as I can remember... :) -Kp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 20 08:37:48 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA26100 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 20 Dec 1998 08:37:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from smtp-out2.bellatlantic.net (smtp-out2.bellatlantic.net [199.45.39.157]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA26095 for ; Sun, 20 Dec 1998 08:37:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from DougC1@bellatlantic.net) Received: from doug (doug@client-151-197-111-161.bellatlantic.net [151.197.111.161]) by smtp-out2.bellatlantic.net (8.9.1/8.9.1) with SMTP id LAA00814 for ; Sun, 20 Dec 1998 11:38:54 -0500 (EST) From: "Doug" To: Subject: PCMCIA Date: Sun, 20 Dec 1998 11:24:04 -0500 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2212 (4.71.2419.0) Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.0810.800 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hey, Could anyone provide me with a good resource of info about using PCMCIA cards in FreeBSD?

About all that anyone could give you from this is pointers on how you might isolate the problem. So, here's a bundle of the usual bits of advice. Pretty much everyone who's come to the freebsd-security list about getting hacked this year has been hacked through the popper bug. If you're running popper, upgrade to the latest version or to a different pop server. If your hackers have been able to create an account, then they have root priviledges, and have probably installed a backdoor or two. You can not expect to cover every possible vulnerability that may have been introduced. Reinstall from scratch as soon as is practical, and install tripwire while you're at it (before you connect the newly installed OS to the network). You say you think you're being hacked through udp. Why? How have you set up your firewall. What traffic do you expect to see, and what blocks and logging do you have in place for other traffic. Go through all of your network services (netstat -a) and for each open port find out exactly what version of what software you are running. With a list of these in hand, search bugtraq, rootshell, fyodors etc for exploits that affect you. For every service you run as root, look to see if you can run it under a different uid. For each service, identify who you expect to be using it from where. Limit where services can be accessed from accordingly. Use ipfw and/or tcpwrappers. Run a few of the major scanners on yourself. ISS, SATAN, COPS. Set syslog up to pass your logs out to another machine which you trust. ie get your logs out before they get wiped. Back up now if you don't have a back up. Don't trust this backup any more than you must. Change your passwords. Remove shells from every account that doesn't need it. Disable rhosts if you don't need it. Disable suid bits where possible. Consider where sniffers might be on your network and check this out. (You should *NEVER* send root passwords as clear text. Use ssh.) If your security is commercially important and you don't have the skills to deal with your problem, then consider hiring help.

Manual subscription method is to send a message to majordomo@freebsd.org with the line "subscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body. There are other commands you can send in the same message (one command per line) such as "lists" to be sent a list of the current lists, and "which" to find out what lists you are subscribed to. Also "help" for a list of commands. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

Agreed, ftp or fetch is the Right Way To Download Stuff.

I use qmail in the same way you are attempting to. I found it very irratating to change my MUA config everytime I connected to a different ISP. Thus I setup qmail on my laptop to be able to deliver email for me. Depending on which ISP I connect to I get a variety of dynamic IP addresses. Edit /etc/host.conf and make sure that 'hosts' appears before 'bind' in the list. Edit /etc/hosts and add: 127.0.0.1 mylastname.myisp.com mylastname Then run /var/qmail/configure/config while you are _not_ connected to the internet. -- Brian Litzinger > On Sun, 20 Dec 1998, Peter A.

It's the traditional ``small'' editor. On my PDP-11, it is all of 9418 bytes long. vi is 82438 bytes long and is in /usr/ucb (since it's BSD software). Sure, you can argue that this is no longer appropriate. But the shared libraries are also in /usr, so any editor in the root file system must be statically linked. Then the question arises: which editor should it be. The answer's simple: the one *you* want. Just link it statically and put it in /bin (not /sbin).

I have been using FreeBSD as my home and work desktops for 3 years, plus I use FreeBSD at work for various network tasks. My real question is however, "What does it take to get application software vendors to start writing 'native' FreeBSD apps?". I just tried the Scriptics TCL/TK plugin for Netscape and I haven't got it working yet. Then I found out that I need to run the linux emulation to get the plugin to run and that sort of bothers me. I just installed linux on a laptop and to tell you the truth, I am NOT impressed with linux. Other than the fact that there is a lot of application support for linux there seems to be little else worthy of note about linux. I did not write to run linux into the ground, instead I wanted to find out what I can do to prompt the apps vendors to write native FreeBSD apps.

On many systems, it's all you get in /bin anyway, and BSD is known for being rather conservative in that aspect.

The kernel compile is OK with a few bug fixes and with MULTICAST option set. One problem is that the driver freezes after the first multicast session, I tried it with MulticastClient and Server in Java tutorial. Next problem is that it does not let more than one multicast client to run. I also tried Jim Binkley's driver but this driver could not recognize PCMCIA card. Does anyone have a working driver for the newest FreeBSD (2.2.7) that supports 2.4GHz cards? Maybe I should switch to Linux, Linux supports multicast just like Solaris.

We have a class C busted into 8 subnets. The first 2 are on our ethernet, and the others are connected through dedicated dialups on a terminal server. I am using routed, and have ipforwarding set to YES. There is also a cisco router connecting us to the internet via T1 line. The problem is that things are very slow between the first 2 subnets. If I copy something from a machine in the .0 network to the .32 network, it's about 100x slower. If I copy a file withing the same subnet, it's fine. They are both on ethernet and should be fast. Any ideas?

You still can't cat a wav through /dev/audio, though :) -rob ( www.namodn.com ) ( robert@namodn.com ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Dec 20 19:07:48 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA25280 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sun, 20 Dec 1998 19:07:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from atlas.iexpress.net.au (atlas.iexpress.net.au [203.38.34.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA25275 for ; Sun, 20 Dec 1998 19:07:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mikey@iexpress.net.au) Received: from localhost (mikey@localhost) by atlas.iexpress.net.au (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id LAA00141; Mon, 21 Dec 1998 11:07:39 +0800 (WST) (envelope-from mikey@iexpress.net.au) Date: Mon, 21 Dec 1998 11:07:38 +0800 (WST) From: Michael Slater To: Jason McKay cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: pap-secrets?

Tried an upgrade from 2.2.1R over the net with /stand/sysinstall on one of the machines on my LAN. (Minimal - since it is a client for NFS and NIS. However for the purpose of the upgrade it is "deconfigured." Everything is turned off.) Got through all of the small stuff like the /etc/sysconfig to /etc/rc.conf conversion, small adjustments to /etc/fstab, and then forgetting the address of my LAN card. I boots but no login. It stops after what looks like the whole boot process right where it prints the date and time. Then nothing. It reboots with a ctrl-alt-del and I can bring it up single user, mount all file systems, and do just about everything I would expect. What Am I Missing?! (Other than brains...) It is right where I had it when I did a minimun install from the CDROM. Thanks in advance! (Now to sleep.)

First I wonna thank you for what you are doing! That's great & really helpfull! But I got a problem that's not covered in your FAQs. So I decided to write you (hoping smb will read it :-). I'm trying to put FreeBSD on my 386 DX40(4mb) & connect it via NE1000compat. to my Pentium133(24mb). I built a new kernel for Pent, compiled it & it worked. But when I built a new kernel for 386 & installed it my comp (386) hanged up after a string: npx0 at 0xf0-0xff irq 13 flags 0x1 on motherboard. I know this option is mandatory, so I can't disable it & it's about coprocessor. I have 386DX so there is a hardware coprocessor. I disabled MATH_EMULATION in kernel. It didn't help. I enabled it - it didn't help niether. So what's the problem - I don't get it. Please answer me, cause there is no BSD guru around in my town (I'm from Russia). With all my respect Vladimir.

Nevertheless, 3.0 is generally stable (I did crash my 3.0 box with Xfree 3.3.3) - Some people are also using 3.0 on production servers. 3.0 gives you a better disk performance for IDE disks and generally uses more recent compilation tools (for example, MMX instructions should work under 3.0 - not sure of the status under 2.2.x) 3.0 is the branch where new things are tested (for example Linux kernel threads which are used by StarOffice 5.0) There should be a 3.0-Stable branch forking in the beginning of '99 TfH > hello > I thought 3.0 version is not still a snapshot and it had been > released so it is stable enough for using...am I wrong? > so why is it still called current? > > thanks > > +-------------------------------------------------+ > | Name : Evren Yurtesen - yurtesen@ispro.net.tr | > | S-mail: Talikkokatu 6B 26, 20540 Turku/FINLAND | > | Home:+358-2-2379095 Work:+358-40-5185215 | > +-------------------------------------------------+ > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Dec 21 02:58:23 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA07055 for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Mon, 21 Dec 1998 02:58:23 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from alcatel.fr (gatekeeper.alcatel.fr [194.133.58.131]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id CAA07050 for ; Mon, 21 Dec 1998 02:58:20 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Thierry.Herbelot@alcatel.fr) From: Thierry.Herbelot@alcatel.fr Received: from alcatel.fr (gatekeeper-ssn.alcatel.fr [155.132.180.244]) by mailgate.alcatel.fr (ALCANET/SMTP) with ESMTP id LAA24953; Mon, 21 Dec 1998 11:56:28 +0100 Received: from lune.telspace.alcatel.fr (lune.telspace.alcatel.fr [155.132.144.65]) by aifhs2.alcatel.fr (ALCANET/SMTP2) with ESMTP id LAA14881; Mon, 21 Dec 1998 11:55:48 +0100 (MET) Received: from telss1 (telss1.telspace.alcatel.fr [155.132.51.4]) by lune.telspace.alcatel.fr (8.9.1a/8.9.1) with SMTP id LAA07575; Mon, 21 Dec 1998 11:37:59 +0100 (MET) Received: from telspace.alcatel.fr by telss1 (4.1/SMI-4.1) id AA02838; Mon, 21 Dec 98 11:43:16 +0100 Received: from localhost by telspace.alcatel.fr with SMTP (1.40.112.12/16.2) id AA274706524; Mon, 21 Dec 1998 11:35:24 +0100 X-Openmail-Hops: 1 Date: Mon, 21 Dec 98 11:35:00 +0100 Message-Id: In-Reply-To: <367E1086.6FD8F038@qatar.net.qa> Subject: Re : afterstep Mime-Version: 1.0 To: sodah@qatar.net.qa Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; name="Re" Content-Disposition: inline; filename="Re" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, How did you install aterstep ?

Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi! --- I'm in the need of playing raw audio data through the PC-Speaker device /dev/pcaudio. I have configured my 3.0-RELEASE system with the appropriate kernel device line for the pca0 device. The kernel recognizes the device at boot time, but I cannot get it to work. Is there any documentation about the pca kernel driver? I could not find any manpages or else. Another thing that made me wonder is that there is a kernel driver but no userland program which enables me to play sounds using this device. In the absence of such a program I wrote a little program by myself which tries to output raw audio data to /dev/pcaudio using write(2), but all I get is a "Bad file descriptor" error code from the write(2) call. What am I doing wrong, or is this driver not functioning at all ? Any help appreciated. Regards, Mickey -- (__) (@@) Andreas S.

After my program does int fd = open("/dev/cuaa1", O_RDWR, 0); .... int st; int rc = ioctl(fd, TIOCMGET, &st); rc becomes -1 and errno becomes 25 (it means "inappropriate ioctl for device").

You can probably fix this by using pkg_delete to remove the jpeg library port and the afterstep port. Then re-download the .tar files from ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports. Tar xvf them, cd , and then make install. Typing "ls /var/db/pkg" will give you a list of the names of ports and packages in your system. Basically, your system can't use the shared library which manages jpegs. AfterStep requires this to display jpeg-based icons. The procedure that I recommended will uninstall whatever version of the jpeg library that you have and afterstep, then reinstall them both.

Is FreeBSD > comparable or better than NT? Using the wine package, you can run a certain number of Win32 and Win16 programs. If you're going to load FreeBSD 3.0, you can run many (most?) MS-DOS programs. Note that the wine system is still in development and you probably don't want to use it for mission critical apps. As to your second question, let me tell you a few facts and let you decide. FreeBSD is more configurable, has better support for the Internet's open standards, tends to have visibly better performance on the same hardware, has better logging of things like reasons for crashes and reboots, ppp status and errors, and user actions. It never costs more than $70 (and that's with 4 CDs and a think book) and can cost as little as $0.00. These costs are legal, not pirated. Windows NT has a few advantages in supporting Windows NT Workstation, but not many. Windows NT is more popular with "pointy haired bosses" and you have to justify this choice less often. Of course, what you save in time spent on justification is MORE than lost in time spent on trying to fix it. Windows NT has a larger following, so turning to a friend for help is more likely to be successful. On the other hand, if you don't mind using the FreeBSD handbook and FAQ (see http://www.freebsd.org... they're both free), email, usenet, and IRC for technical support, you're more likely to get a solid answer. This is based off of 3 years experience in Unix (NetBSD, FreeBSD, Ultrix, Solaris, etc.) and 8 months of Windows NT consulting plus 9 months of Windows NT user-level experience. And trust me, the experience in Windows NT Server consulting was not by choice. Oh, and consider this: I replaced a $12000-$15000 Windows NT web proxy and mail server with a $250 FreeBSD proxy once. (This was due to a problem with the NT box and was a temporary measure.) No one noticed! Well, OK, I received a single complaint that the email server was down, but no one noticed a speed hit on the proxy. The NT server had 192MB of RAM, 3 HDs, two 100Base NICs, 2 Pentium IIs, etc. The FreeBSD box was a spare 486 that I had. It had 66MHz, 16MB of RAM, and one 10Base-T NIC. *I* prefer FreeBSD and am using it at my job. The choice is your's of course. NT has better "butt-covering" value, but you'll have to explain why it crashed. FreeBSD can run for months or even years without problems if you have stable hardware.

That was great to know if this or that client has been accessing and when he/she last did it. If there is other way of getting to know that info will be great. I saw the messages file and I can see that info, but is a history of about five days and you have to go through the .gz files.
