Alternatively, could anyone give me some pointers on what would be involved in upgrading some of the libraries in an existing 6.1 installation to current versions? Specifically, (/compat/linux)/lib/libpthread-0.8.so? The reason I ask is that I admin (among other things) a FreeBSD 4.2S machine running a Counter-Strike game server. For those unfamiliar, this uses the linux Halflife dedicated server, which runs quite nicely under linux emulation on FreeBSD. Unfortunately, the Counter-Strike community is rife with cheating, which Valve (HL Authors) and the Counter-Strike developers have only been marginally effective in combatting. An independent team have developed a simple Client/Server system called PunkBuster (http://www.punkbuster.com) which, rather than preventing cheats directly, merely looks for their signature on client machines (ala virus scanners) and automatically kicks players who are found to be using cheats. The system is still in beta, and the PB developers originally only released a Windows server, which caused great concern to those of us running HL on unix servers who didn't find the thought of setting up a separate Win XX machine just for PB particularly attractive. In January they released a linux port which has been in a fairly dynamic state as the developers come to grips with unix programming. The problem is one particularly constant bug in the PB server - on FreeBSD systems (and I have now discovered apparently on Redhat 6.1 & 6.2) the server generates 4 zombie processes for every HL player not running the PB client, per 30min map cycle. Eventually (within 24hrs usually) the machine will run out of process table space and fail in various exciting ways. The PB server is implemented using pthreads and my very strong suspicion is that some flaw in the libpthread-0.8.so library in RH6.[12] (and therefore FBSD) is at fault. The server does run successfully without zombification problems on RH7. I would like to try using a newer libpthread to see if this fixes the problem, I know RH7 appears to use 0.9 but my various naive attempts at upgrading the Linuxilator libraries have been spectacularly unsuccessful. Are there any documents/guides anyone can point me to that demonstrates/explains/suggests how to do this in a way that still leaves a working Linux emulation? Guru assistance would be muchly appreciated. -- C. PS why is RPM such an irritating system for extracting individual files?! Am I doing something completely wrong?

I'm sure I have heard Vladimir Silyaev mention it & host_lock_ppn() in VMware's kernel module is apparently calling vm_page_wire(). Hmm.. it should probably also be setting the PG_NOSYNC bit itself, so as to avoid most of this mess.. Speaking of PG_NOSYNC, did you happen to see my message earlier in this thread (when it was on -hackers) regarding MAP_NOSYNC not working properly when the first fault is a read fault?

I'm always doing that after a FreeBSD upgrade, to ensure that modules are in sync. All of the VMware configuration and virtual disks remains where it was installed, since it is no part of the port and is not affected by pkg_delete. I never had trouble starting old installations by a freshly compiled vmware. Well yes, you have to answer a few questions about the network again, but that's quite easy. Karel.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Is anyone using Novell Account Management or even just plain Novell eDirectory for Linux on FreeBSD? I don't really care about the SSO or other user-management integration for Linux in that product, I just want to be able to hold a replica of the directory on the FreeBSD box so I can query it locally via LDAP. Anyone doing that? If there is another way of keeping a replica of a Novell eDirectory on a FreeBSD box that I can query via LDAP I'm all ears. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.

I'm using 2.0.3.799, vmmon 0.98, vmnet 0.21, built from /usr/ports/emulators/vmware2 synced via cvsup last night. I have also built the emulator/rtc port. I am using the KAME version of 4.2, with their 20001221 snapshot. This _should_ be different in networking only, but of course it might not be. I have nuked /usr/include, installed the includes from my kame/kernel tree, and then rebuilt the port. I have also rebuilt all the /modules/*.ko stuff. I am not using the 'bridge' option. I am using a 'plain' disk with a fake mbr file, ad0s3, and /dev/null as described in the hints file. I am using 16 MB of virtual ram. My real disk is an IBM travelstar 30. Real HW is an IBM TP600E with 192 MB ram. I can start vmware ok. It tries to boot and flames me about no os found (I haven't installed yet in the 'guest' world), and this seems fine. When I 'turn power off', my machine wedges and reboots. I have seen complaints fly by seemingly from the vmmon module about unmapping things and dirty pages. With memory on the virtual machine that doesn't fit in /tmp and no TMPDIR, I have real problems, not surprisingly. The wedge/reboot (I didn't get a kernel crash dump) I have turned off softupdates on / (where vmware puts its ram image tmp file), and also tried TMPDIR=/n0/tmp (where /n0 is a partition also not running softupdates, with GB of free space). I know I should enable crash dumps, and hook up a serial console, and all that is next on my todo list. Given all that, does anyone have any words of wisdom or suggestions? Anyone else successfully running vmware under KAME? Greg Troxel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
