If at all possible I would like to convert to ELF at that time too. I have a number of Motif applications. The Motif shared libraries are in a.out format. My questions are: 1. Will the Motif applications, using the a.out format shared libraries that came with the Motif products continue to work on an ELF system? 2. If #1 is true, if I would need to re-compile any of the Motif applications, can I build an ELF binary that will use the a.out shared libraries? Or should the applications be statically linked? 3. Lesstif may be an answer. Any thoughts on this? 4. If none of the above are true, I suppose I would need to look for alternative applications -- or compile them on a Linux system and run them on FreeBSD? This however doesn't make much sense, as vendors like Netscape have probably asked the same questions and I suspect that they may have a solution of their own. I'm in a bit of a hurry this morning, so I haven't thought this note completely through and may have missed something.

Wealth Preservation and Asset Protection Planning are now real issues. With the possibility of a single lawsuit wiping away a lifetime of savings, individuals (especially those with families), have made concerted efforts to preserve assets and assure the family estate for future generations. Experts agree that the one of the best ways to do so is with the aid of Asset Protection Trusts. An Asset Protection Trust is not the ideal plan for everyone, but where it is a good solution, professionals (doctors, lawyers, stockbrokers, etc.), owners of closely held businesses, and others who have spent a lifetime accumulating wealth can now put up formidable barriers to thwart potential creditor suits and other civil litigation.

If one configures the rand_irq in rc.conf to be a reasonable-seeming set (the PCI bus 0 irq and some serial ports that only get used for UUCP), the system seems to become quite unstable, and panics fairly regularly (every few hours, but quite variable) with a stack trace very similar to: _generic_bcopy + 0x1a _comstart + 0xa6 _ttstart + 0x18 _siopoll + 0x175 splz_swi + 0x14 _add_timer_randomness + 0x1c2 _add_interrupt_randomness + 0x2d _Xfastintr3 + 0x17 I've returned the rand_irq setting to NO, and the problem seems to have gone away. Is this known, or should I do a little more characterization? It feels like a race between the timer update and another (say, serial) update of the pool doesn't play right, but I haven't even looked at the code yet.

When I used appropos on my box it didn't return a result and even the list I generate off the ports didn't return anything so I assumed that it was unexistant on FreeBSD. However now I come to think about his question it may be that he required only to use the .htaccess files to block access to certain URL's...

In that case, he'd probably run Squid or another web proxy and define ACLs (I have no idea how, i just know it can be done) for URLs for certain hosts.

The IRQ that my PPP link is on is often (and is at the moment) high-rate, for some definition thereof. It's seeing about 800 int/sec, eyeball averaged. Thank goodness for 16550s; that's a 128k ISDN modem, the port's running 115.2k. What it sounds like is that I shouldn't use "high rate" (for some definition thereof -- more than the clock irqs?) things to feed the entropy pool. That probably ought to be documented somewhere.

My FreeBSD machine has a dedicated dial-up connection to the Net that I need to stay up 24/7 no matter what. PPP used to, despite my ISP's best efforts to thwart it, keep my connection live anytime it dropped. Now it doesn't. I have both reconnect and redial set to 50 tries, random delay, but when the connection drops (usually at like 5am every day), PPP does NOTHING. When I wake up at 7, it's still dead and will remain dead until I do something. The weird thing is, all I do is run pppctl xxxx, and it dials instantly. Before I even see the password prompt. What is the problem here and how do I fix it? --- Fr.

I think that it would be better to fix the underlying problem, if possible; during a news expire with NFS archiving, the PCI irq can run as high as 300-400/s for most of an hour. I suppose the safest things to hook would be the keyboard irq (1) and the mouse (12 -- pms). But if there really is some kind of race condition in there, which is how it smells, then for max stability none is the right answer. > If I recall correctly, this _was_ documented before we moved from > /etc/sysconfic to /etc/rc.conf (basically, becuse we went from > "sections" with long descriptions for each option to single lines for > each option). It also specifically mentioned not to hook interrupts > attached to serial ports or the clock, I think. Interesting. It still seems that it oughta be safe for j. random (pun half-intended) sysadmin to hook whatever they like. The timers aren't good sources of entropy simply because of their periodicity. The same really *isn't* true, even for high-bandwidth serial ports, because there will always be the vagaries of network timing, non-busy periods, etc. Seems like a pretty good source, except that it makes the box fall over.

There are ways to minimize real-time impacts ("it's just code"), and there are ways to prevent reentrant corruption. I haven't looked at the IRQ entropy code yet, so I'm not in a position to say if it _could_ be improved. > I'm suprised that the randomizer code can hook interrupts at all and still > keep the OS stable. This stuff is some pretty clever code. You are actually > modifying the kernel's core execution by enabling these hooks! Is there a microtime() call already made at each interrupt entry? If not, then yeah, that would be adding a huge latency. Something on the order of 5uS on a faster ISA system I tested on (when I added similar microtime()-like stuff to LynxOS). I haven't looked to see if it's gotten any better with recent chipsets, though -- that's just way too much cost for us RTOS guys at interrupt time, so I didn't do that. > Trust me when I say that there probably is no "Underlying Problem". > It's pretty amazing that this thing even exists. I'd still contend, from an engineering standpoint, that such things shouldn't destabilize a system that way. If it's inherently unstable, then say so.

I did try a recent kernel before my last message. However (as I didn't explicitly state), I am using 2.2-STABLE. Could you or someone else of the comitters fold in the changes here? Again, thank you.

However, the space before the last quote stops kauth from findning the srvtab, and looking at the KTH source distribution of eBones, there's indeed no space there. Am I correct in that this is wrong? The only thing that makes me hesitate, really, is that it seems unlikely that noone would have found the problem before (and I can't find anything in the gnats database.) Anyway, removing the space solved the problem I had. Comments? Staffan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
