Ports
Updating Ports with cvsup
- Install the cvsup port
floe# cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui floe# make install clean
- As root:
cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile ~
Edit the ports-supfile
- local mirror, such as freebsd.isc.org
- Comment ports-all, uncomment desired ports or leave as default for maximum safety (no lost dependencies, etc)
Update:
cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile
Automating port upgrades
This is probably a good idea. Last thing you want is some horrendous sshd vuln when you're out of the country or something... On the other hand, this represents a leap of faith that we won't end up with broken dependencies during a portupgrade due to some wacky change / failure... We'll cron a cvsup to keep the ports db recent, and use a tool called portupgrade to upgrade our installed ports.
Install portupgrade
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade make install clean
Create a package database for portupgrade
pkgdb -u
Run portupgrade
portupgrade -a
Create a script to do it all for us. I'll call it upgrade.sh
# Synchronize your ports collection (using the fastest_cvsup tool to get the fastest CVSup server) FASTEST_CVSUP=`fastest_cvsup -Q -c us`; echo $FASTEST_CVSUP /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 -h $FASTEST_CVSUP /root/ports-supfile # Update the ports database /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -Uu # List the installed ports which need upgrading /usr/local/sbin/portversion -l "<" # Upgrade the installed ports /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -a
Add it to cron
echo "20 4 * * 7 /root/upgrade.sh" > mycron crontab mycron
Set up a forward for root
echo "foo@you.com" > .forward
Ports I like
- screen - a no brainer
- mtr - nice traceroute / ping tool
- ntraceroute - use the -A flag to see AS numbers for each hop
- bash, zsh
- fastest_cvsup
- ifstat - per-interface bandwidth stats
- sudo
Networking
Interface Configuration
Bring additional interface up and verify:
root@floe[/root]ifconfig fxp0 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0
root@floe[/root]ifconfig fxp0
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
inet 10.0.1.1 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.0
inet6 fe80::2a0:c9ff:fedb:5100%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:a0:c9:db:51:00
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX)
status: active
Configure it for startup In /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.0.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
DHCP Server
- Install /usr/ports/net/isc-dhcp3-server
- Configure /etc/dhcpd.conf as desired. My config:
# Configuration file for ISC dhcpd
# option definitions common to all supported networks...
option domain-name "dreness.com";
option domain-name-servers 64.81.79.2, 216.231.41.2;
default-lease-time 3600;
max-lease-time 86400;
authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;
# This is a very basic subnet declaration.
subnet 10.0.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.0.1.10 10.0.1.20;
option routers 10.0.1.1;
}
- Configure dhcp on startup in /etc/rc.local:
#dhcpd at boot up /usr/local/sbin/dhcpd
DNS Server
- We'll use a DNS server to provide hostnames for our local 10-net.
cd /etc/namedb sh make-localhost
- Configure /etc/namedb/named.conf
options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
pid-file "/var/run/named/pid";
dump-file "/var/dump/named_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/stats/named.stats";
listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 10.0.1.1; };
forward only;
forwarders { 64.81.79.2; 216.131.41.2; };
};
// If you enable a local name server, don't forget to enter 127.0.0.1
// first in your /etc/resolv.conf so this server will be queried.
// Also, make sure to enable it in /etc/rc.conf.
