I recently had to install check_mysql_perf on our nagios server runing FreeBSD.

After a few failed attempts , I contacted the author Gerhard asking for help. Sure enough a few minutes ( !!! ) later he send me a reply back : 

Add the following at the end of the check_mysql_perf.c : 

char* strndup(const char* string, size_t n)
{
char* copy_string = 0;

if(0 == string || 0 == n)
return 0;

copy_string = (char*) malloc(n + 1);
if(0 == copy_string)
return 0;

memcpy(copy_string, string, n);
*(copy_string + n) = ‘\0′;

return copy_string;
}

and find this line ( line number 77 in my file ) :

char *mysql_status_historical (MYSQL *, char *, long *, int);

and add below it :

char *strndup(const char*, size_t);

this worked like a charm and I have a working plugin now.

thanks Gerhard !!!

On Linux
mount -o loop -t iso9660 path/to/iso.iso /mnt

On FreeBSD
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /isofile -u 0
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt


I am using Bill Shuff's toaster patch ( thanks bill , you rule ! ) , for some reason make cert did not work. I create the certs manually :

#openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -out servercert.pem -keyout servercert.pem

qmail did show TLS up but i got an error : 

#openssl s_client -debug -crlf -starttls smtp -connect localhost:25
50883:error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure:/usr/src/secure/lib/libssl/../../../crypto/openssl/ssl/s23_clnt.c:562:

scratching my head around the net I found this and run :

#openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsclientciphers #openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsserverciphers 

which fixed it all: 

#openssl s_client -crlf -starttls smtp -connect localhost:25

If you have more then one subnet behind your vpn you need to add the following to your vpn.conf :

and make sure you run openvpn as an administrator

I have the intel 2200bg wirelss card and used the iwi-firmware .

configure iwi network options :

vi /etc/rc.conf
ifconfig_iwi0=”WPA DHCP”

configure WPA settings :

vi /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface_group=0
network={
ssid=”ssid”
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=”shared-key”
}
