I'll assume you have more machines going using this as a gateway; otherwise, using PPP+pktAlias instead of plain PPP just introduce unneeded complexity. If not, could you go through the following list of things to try? (1) Run standard PPP from 2.1.6/2.1.7 - still problems? (2) If no to (1), disconnect your host from your local network, avoiding inference from other hosts and try PPP+pktAlias again. Problems? (3) If no to (2), something else on your network is sending packets - you might want to use tcpdump or ipfw to track it down. (4) If yes to (2), there is a problem in PPP+pktAlias - could you please check whether it is in 1.8 and 1.9 too? (I need to track when and how it occurred) (5) If yes to (1), and it has worked before, I'll have to track down what bug was introduced when in PPP. Please contact me off the list and we'll track it down. In any case, please give me details of what happens - I want to make PPP+pktAlias work as well as possible.

For those that are definitely newer, I then use diff to see if there aren't any custom changes I made to my own /etc files. If not, I just copy them in. Otherwise, I pull them both up in emacs (or jove) with two windows and manually apply the differences. Then reboot, depending on the changed files.

Fortunately, it was relatively easy to spot the problem because the name of my printer was showing up in the make commands and it clearly didn't belong there. That's when I learned about "su -l". The point is that there are many things that can affect a kernel or world build that aren't in the sources. Root's shell, path, aliases, environment, /etc/make.conf can all have an effect, not to mention hardware and bios settings.

Gifford" Subject: 2.1.7 and Tripwire ftruncate() fun (MORE INFO) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-stable@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, First the questions: Is anyone successfully running Tripwire on FreeBSD 2.1.7? If so, how did you overcome the problem with ftruncate()? Is the problem with ftruncate() in Tripwire an OS bug? Is it a compiler bug? Now for the background: I downloaded Tripwire 1.2 from ftp://coast.cs.purdue.edu/pub/Purdue/Tripwire/tripwire-1.2.tar.Z and compiled it. I followed the instructions in the README file included in the tarball and the compile and install went smoothly. I then created my own custom config file for tripwire. Last, I ran tripwire to create the initial database. Here's what happened: bash# ./tripwire -initialize ### Phase 1: Reading configuration file ### Phase 2: Generating file list ### Phase 3: Creating file information database truncate(): Invalid argument bash# I then went back to the source files for tripwire and grep'd for truncate. I found the only occurence was a call to "ftruncate()" in the file "dbase.build.c" in the subroutine "database_record_write()" and nowhere else. Looking at the code some more, I noticed that the file which was to be truncated with ftruncate() was opened the very first time database_record_write() was called by a call to fd_tempfilename_generate() in utils.c, a subroutine that opens a temporary file for reading and writing in /tmp then unlinks it and returns the file descriptor number to the caller. Just so I could see what was happening, I commented out the "unlink()" call in fd_tempfilename_generate() in utils.c so that the temporary file would stick around. In database_record_write() in dbase.build.c I then added some code around the call to ftruncate: /* Added code begins: */ fprintf(stderr, "fdsymlink = %d\n", fdsymlink); if ((err = write(fdsymlink, "Before...\n", 10)) != 10) { fprintf(stderr, "BEFORE: write() returned %d\n", err); } else { fprintf(stderr, "BEFORE: write() succeeded!\n"); } /* End of first chunk of added code */ /* The line below was altered. The original line WAS: if (ftruncate(fdsymlink, 0) < 0) { */ if ((err=ftruncate(fdsymlink, 0)) < 0) { /* More added code below: */ fprintf(stderr, "ftruncate() failed, returning %d -- fdsymlink=%d " "and errno=%d \"%s\"\n", err, fdsymlink, errno, strerror(errno)); if ((err = write(fdsymlink, "After...\n", 9)) != 9) { fprintf(stderr, "AFTER: write() returned %d\n", err); } else { fprintf(stderr, "AFTER: write() succeeded!\n"); } /* End of added code chunk #2 */ die_with_err("truncate()", NULL); } After adding the stuff above I recompiled and this is what I saw: bash# ./tripwire -initialize ### Phase 1: Reading configuration file ### Phase 2: Generating file list ### Phase 3: Creating file information database BEFORE: write() succeeded! ftruncate() failed, returning -1 -- fdsymlink=4 and errno=22 "Invalid argument" AFTER: write() succeeded! truncate(): Invalid argument bash# ls -l /tmp total 2 -rw------- 1 root bin 19 Feb 24 12:42 twz006363 bash# cat /tmp/twz006363 Before... After... bash# I must say I was (and I still am) very puzzled. A quick 'man errno' informed me: 22 EINVAL Invalid argument. Some invalid argument was supplied. (For ex- ample, specifying an undefined signal to a signal or kill func- tion). Then a quick 'man ftruncate' returned: Ftruncate() succeeds unless: [EBADF] The fd is not a valid descriptor. [EINVAL] The fd references a socket, not a file. [EINVAL] The fd is not open for writing. >From my test code and from looking at the tripwire source, the fd is a FILE (not a socket) and is open for WRITING, so why is ftruncate() returning EINVAL? I cannot understand it. From looking at the contents of the temp file after my code additions, I see that when the ftruncate() call occurs, the temp file is length 10 (from the "Before...\n"), the call failes with EINVAL then the very same file descriptor is successfully written to again ("After...\n"). So, what's going on? The tripwire source looks like it SHOULD work. Any ideas? I searched the archive at freebsd.org for "tripwire" and "truncate" and saw a few messages from about a year ago. Unfortunately, none of the messages was of any use (most just reported the bug). Thanks in advance for any and all information. I would really like to get tripwire working.

Thanks for the note. I checked this before I emailed the list(s) and the .c file does correctly include these header files. I did the check because one of the archive messages from about a year ago mentioned something about the correct header files. I could find no ftruncate() prototypes in any of the tripwire .c or .h source files either, so I must conclude that the prototype was successfully included from the above mentioned header files.

In my earlier search through the archives, I noticed a message mentioning that certain header files need to be included for ftruncate to correctly work. I then looked at the Tripwire sources and noticed that STDLIBH must be defined for the file(s) to be correctly included. I then defined STDLIBH in the Makefile as a compiler command-line "-DSTDLIBH" so I thought STDLIBH was defined. I was mistaken. I didn't even bother to check the Tripwire configs/conf-bsd.h (which I was using) at all. There was a nifty little "#undef STDLIBH" line in there defeating my command-line definition. Thanks to craigs@os.com's message for pointing me to the conf-bsd.h file! Here's what I did to get Tripwire working on my 2.1.7 system. In Tripwire's configs subdirectory, I copied conf-bsd.h, creating a conf-freebsd.h file. I edited it and changed it so that STDLIBH and DIRENT were both #defined instead of #undef'd. I then edited Tripwire's include/config.h file so that it included the new conf-freebsd.h file. That was all. Simple, is it not? Upon rebuilding Tripwire and reinstalling it, all appears to be working well! Thanks for all the responses, and thanks especially to Craig Shrimpton. I was very confused, barking up the wrong tree.

I cannot understand it. From looking at the contents of the temp ftruncate also fails with errno EINVAL if the requested length is negative. This may be caused by not including so that there is no prototype in scope and the behaviour is undefined (the actual behaviour is to pick up semi-random garbage from the stack for the high 32 bits of the length). Use `ktrace tripwire ... kdump >foo' to see what the actual ftruncate args are.

Since the last message, I have yanked a few boards and changed the 3c509 to irq 10, all is well, I will try to figure what exactly was getting in the way. Disabled the plugnplay on the board for irqs, and changed them to Legacy ISA for irqs 10 and 9. thanks for the reply.

Mysterious failures can often be avoided by doing this before your make world: rm -rf /usr/obj/* find /usr/src -name obj -type l | xargs rm This is especially true when upgrading from a relatively distant release (distant in space or time :-). And it is especially true now, since there were changes to "make" and to the structure of the obj tree in the past 6 months. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.

Weird! I heard a similar report from someone else, but when I tried it, it just worked. Perhaps I did something slightly different given my inability to make all the same obvious choices that a normal user would make at this point. :-) > Is it ok to just untar the files from /, running presinatll.sh beforehand > and postinstall.sh afterwards?

But the same sources on a P120 at work have never been able to build without some bizarre, random error situation in cc1 ("fatal signal 11", "address not computable", "internal compiler bug", and similar obscure errors). Per the advice given from participants in this list, I've done the following over the span of several days: * Set BIOS to its defaults where possible * Disabled external CPU cache * Disabled all BIOS (and video) caching * Increased RAM wait states and I/O refresh delay timing * Disabled all APM settings * Verified SCSI chain termination Basically, I selectively adjusted these one at a time, rebooted, and tried a "make world". If it failed, I put the setting back to a default (or conservative) state, and then tried the next. But none of these worked. Before totally giving up and RMA'ing the motherboard, there was one last BIOS item I decided to change: Internal CPU cache. I disabled it and started the make world process. This has effectively turned the computer into a 286, as "make world" has been running for almost 12 hours now and it's only in "libc". But, it hasn't crashed! So, maybe it's just a bad CPU. I've got a replacement to try on Monday. But, I was wondering if by disabling the internal CPU cache that it could be masking some other real culprit. Any comments? --Morgan From owner-freebsd-stable Fri Feb 28 14:19:50 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id OAA21291 for stable-outgoing; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 14:19:50 -0800 (PST) Received: from vader.cs.berkeley.edu (vader.CS.Berkeley.EDU [128.32.38.234]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id OAA21286 for ; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 14:19:46 -0800 (PST) Received: (from asami@localhost) by vader.cs.berkeley.edu (8.8.4/8.7.3) id OAA14936; Fri, 28 Feb 1997 14:18:52 -0800 (PST) Date: Fri, 28 Feb 1997 14:18:52 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: <199702282218.OAA14936@vader.cs.berkeley.edu> To: mdavis@io.cts.com CC: jkh@time.cdrom.com, stable@freebsd.org In-reply-to: <199702282115.NAA24625@io.cts.com> (message from Morgan Davis on Fri, 28 Feb 1997 13:15:23 -0800 (PST)) Subject: Re: Random dives out of make world From: asami@vader.cs.berkeley.edu (Satoshi Asami) Sender: owner-stable@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk * From: Morgan Davis * and started the make world process.
