Sure. See "man getrusage", specificly: long ru_isrss; /* integral unshared stack size */ ...which tends to give you the maximum usage on most systems (because they don't shrink the stack if it becomes smaller). You can also compare the addresses of automatic variables within the code of the program itself to see how the stack grows: /* Test program to measure stack usage... */ void * test_function(int count) { int foo = 1; #if 0 /* make the local frame much bigger */ char buf[1000]; sprintf(buf, "%d\n", count); #endif if (count > 0) { return test_function(count - 1); } else return &foo; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int depth = 100; unsigned long delta; if (argc > 1) depth = atoi(argv[1]); delta = (unsigned long)&depth - (unsigned long)test_function(depth); printf("\nchange in stack size: %lu bytes.\n", delta); return 0; } [ Yeah, yeah, I should use ptrdiff_t, but you get the idea... ] -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun May 30 00:08:35 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C204B16A4CF for ; Sun, 30 May 2004 00:08:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: from www.wcborstel.nl (node-c-0ab6.a2000.nl [62.194.10.182]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 10D8143D2D for ; Sun, 30 May 2004 00:08:34 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jorn@wcborstel.nl) Received: from [172.16.1.4] (unknown [172.16.1.4]) by www.wcborstel.nl (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3091880FC; Sun, 30 May 2004 09:09:46 +0200 (CEST) Message-ID: <40B98865.1060002@wcborstel.nl> Date: Sun, 30 May 2004 09:08:21 +0200 From: Jorn Argelo User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 (Windows/20040502) X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: stefan@swebase.com References: <00d101c445eb$f173dd70$082450d5@swebasestefan> In-Reply-To: <00d101c445eb$f173dd70$082450d5@swebasestefan> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: huge xfree86 problems with an acer on freebsd 5.2.1 X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 30 May 2004 07:08:36 -0000 stefan@swebase.com wrote: >Hi, i already posted this on x11 but hey i really need help so please don't hold it against me... > >I have an acer aspire 1350LC with a via chipset for the graphics.

Once every several hours our main NFS server replicates everything to a backup FreeBSD NFS server. We are okay with the gap in time between replication. What we aren't sure about is how to automate the fail-over between the primary to the secondary NFS server. This is for a web cluster. Each client mounts several directories from the NFS server. Let's say that our primary NFS server dies and just goes away. What then? Are you periodically doing a mount or a file look-up of a mounted filesystem to check if your NFS server died? If so are you just unmounting and remounting everything using the backup NFS server? Just curious how this problem is being solved.

I added the line BusID "PCI:1:0:0" and Xfree tries to start. But now my monitor turns to black and I get a big warning that the "signal frequency is out of range". Really weird because I always used the (correct) values for horizontal and vertical frequencies for the monitor. The only thing I can do at that point is to reset the computer.

You have probably managed to configure your machine to try and run both the lpd(8) from the base system and the lpd from the lprNG port. Which means the lprNG version can't start up because the base system version has already bound the the lpd port. Make sure that your /etc/rc.conf has only the lprng entries. > I have no idea why this is happening.

Either you need to specify the full path to the correct version of lpq (which will be /usr/local/bin/lpq if you've installed lprNG from packages), or you have to futz with the $PATH and put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin. Note that fiddling with the order of directories on the $PATH can cause all sorts of weird effects in completely unrelated software so test early and test often if you do that.

Probably this means that you have the system lpd running instead of the one that lprng presumably wants to run.

I have a switch (managed), that I can use HyperTerminal (when connected to a windows box of course) to view the console. I seem to be going blind reading the docs on how to view the same console when I connect the Switch to the Serial (RS-232 port on any of my FreeBSD servers. Any hints, comments on how to set up freebsd to allow access to the switch console would be appreciated. -Grant From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun May 30 07:07:35 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3B4F016A4CE; Sun, 30 May 2004 07:07:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: from smtp18.wxs.nl (smtp18.wxs.nl [195.121.6.14]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B218743D58; Sun, 30 May 2004 07:07:34 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from marco@beishuizen.info) Received: from yokozuna.bsd (ipd50a233c.speed.planet.nl [213.10.35.60]) by smtp18.wxs.nl (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 1.25 (built Mar 3 2004)) with ESMTP id <0HYJ00D9J5WH0A@smtp18.wxs.nl>; Sun, 30 May 2004 16:07:29 +0200 (CEST) Date: Sun, 30 May 2004 16:07:29 +0200 (CEST) From: Marco Beishuizen In-reply-to: <20040530154037.D41332@ns> Sender: marco@yokozuna.bsd To: Jean-Francois Gobin Message-id: MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT FreeBSD: Homepage: References: <20040530154037.D41332@ns> cc: FreeBSD questions mailing list cc: FreeBSD alpha mailing list Subject: Re: PWS 600au / Matrox G450 / XFree86-4.3.0 (fwd) X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: Marco Beishuizen List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 30 May 2004 14:07:35 -0000 On stardate Sun, 30 May 2004, the wise Jean-Francois Gobin entered: > What did he do when you press [CTRL][ALT][BACKSPACE] ? > > JF I think that killed xfree as it should but the monitor still remains black with the big warning.

Try installing "minicom". It's in the ports-tree in : /comms/minicom . There are other programs to talk to serial ports on FreeBSD, but this is what I often use. It's a console program with a nice user interface. grtz, Daan From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun May 30 08:23:41 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D642216A4CE; Sun, 30 May 2004 08:23:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ns.gobinjf.be (ns.gobinjf.be [62.197.79.66]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 999D043D58; Sun, 30 May 2004 08:23:40 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from gobin@gobinjf.be) Received: from ns.kyrian.be (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by ns.gobinjf.be (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id i4UFNZuW041671; Sun, 30 May 2004 17:23:36 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from gobin@gobinjf.be) Received: from localhost (gobin@localhost) by ns.kyrian.be (8.12.10/8.12.10/Submit) with ESMTP id i4UFNXxh041668; Sun, 30 May 2004 17:23:33 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from gobin@gobinjf.be) X-Authentication-Warning: ns.kyrian.be: gobin owned process doing -bs Date: Sun, 30 May 2004 17:23:33 +0200 (CEST) From: Jean-Francois Gobin X-X-Sender: gobin@ns To: Marco Beishuizen In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <20040530172202.Y41654@ns> References: <20040530154037.D41332@ns> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII cc: FreeBSD questions mailing list cc: FreeBSD alpha mailing list Subject: Re: PWS 600au / Matrox G450 / XFree86-4.3.0 (fwd) X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 30 May 2004 15:23:42 -0000 Ok, so you [CTRL][ALT][BACKSPACE]-ed Xwindow.

"HP-oriented special text" won't even help; this printer isn't smart enough to understand text; it requires the computer driver to more or less drive the print heads directly. I think that gimp-print somehow managed to put together a "driver" for it, which means you should be able to get it running with CUPS. You can install gimp-print through the ports system, but there probably aren't many other people using this printer with FreeBSD to give you direct advice. This printer is extremely expensive to operate, and most of HP's work on it went into a Windows driver rather than into the actual hardware.

I have corrected that problem, and now my system boots correctly. When trying to run the 'lprngtool' the error message that I described above still appears. In addition, no printers are listed, and I assume that there should be at least one (the one I defined) Moreover, a new problem seems to have surfaced.

If the first DNS server fails then after a timeout period the client's resolver will try the second DNS server. This works fine, but is a bit slow. It looks like the timeout takes 10 to 15 seconds on FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE. Is there a way to override this timeout value? I know it is possible on other UNIX systems, such as AIX. Basically, we want to get a response within 3 seconds or the resolver should try the second DNS server.

There are two solutions: 1) (Untested by me) ifconfig_dc0="DHCP media 100baseTX" 2) put the media change in a separate shell script, and throw it unter /usr/local/etc/rc.d, so that it will be executed later on something like: >cat dc0-speedchange.sh #!/bin/sh ifconfig dc0 media 100baseTX HTH Olaf -- Olaf Hoyer ohoyer@gaff.hhhr.ision.net Fuerchterliche Erlebniss geben zu raten, ob der, welcher sie erlebt, nicht etwas Fuerchterliches ist.

Can rc.conf work that way? rc.conf is just a shell script, and you're assigning values to variables, so the second declaration would overwrite the first. As to why that would have worked for you... After dhclient runs successfully once, some of the information is kept on disk (resolv.conf, default route). Maybe it was enough? > Now after an upgrade to 4.10-release this doesn't work anymore.

After coming back from a motorcycle-riding class, I noticed my internet connection was down. I hooked up a monitor and a keyboard to my FreeBSD box, and noticed that the OS was no longer running, that the computer had rebooted, and that the BIOS message was "Insert Bootable Media In The Appropriate Drive". My understanding is that this may be a result of a known bug (kernel panic in 5.1 causing MBR to overwrite itself). I checked the drives and all 4 are fine; the RAID BIOS also says the array is intact. Unfortunately, Partition Magic and the FreeBSD install program both indicate that there are no slices or partitions allocated. Can anyone suggest how I might go about editing the partition table (MBR) to reclaim the array? -- . _ . |\_|/__/| .--------------------------------------. / / \/ \ \ | Rishi Chopra | /__| oo |__ \ | http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra | |/_ \_/\_/ _\ | `--------------------------------------' | | (____) | || \ \/\___/\__/ // \ (_/ || | || | ||\ \ . //_/ \______// __|| __|| (____(____) From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun May 30 20:12:17 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 104E516A4CE for ; Sun, 30 May 2004 20:12:17 -0700 (PDT) Received: from terpsi.otenet.gr (terpsi.otenet.gr [195.170.0.9]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 19AEB43D2F for ; Sun, 30 May 2004 20:12:15 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from keramida@ceid.upatras.gr) Received: from gothmog.gr (patr530-a112.otenet.gr [212.205.215.112]) by terpsi.otenet.gr (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id i4V3CApf009643; Mon, 31 May 2004 06:12:11 +0300 (EEST) Received: from gothmog.gr (gothmog [127.0.0.1]) by gothmog.gr (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id i4V3C9Gd003167; Mon, 31 May 2004 06:12:09 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from keramida@ceid.upatras.gr) Received: (from giorgos@localhost) by gothmog.gr (8.12.11/8.12.11/Submit) id i4V3C9Z0003166; Mon, 31 May 2004 06:12:09 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from keramida@ceid.upatras.gr) Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 06:12:09 +0300 From: Giorgos Keramidas To: adp Message-ID: <20040531031209.GA3089@gothmog.gr> References: <036501c44668$3b35ef30$6501a8c0@yourqqh4336axf> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <036501c44668$3b35ef30$6501a8c0@yourqqh4336axf> cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Can I specify the resolver timeout?

If you're mounting those NFS partitions read/write, then there really isn't a good solution for this problem[1] -- you need your NFS server up and running 24x7. If you are NFS mounting those partitions read-only, then you can in principle construct a fail-over system between those servers. Some Unix OSes let you specify a list of servers in fstab(5) (eg. Solaris) and clients will mount from one or other of them. Unfortunately you can't do that with standard NFS mounts under FreeBSD. You could try using VRRP -- see the net/freevrrpd port for example -- but I'm not sure how well that would work if the system failed-over in the middle of an IO transaction. In any case -- certainly if your NFS partitions are read/write, but also for read-only, perhaps the best compromise is to use the automounter amd(8) This certainly does help with the 'nightmare filesystem' scenario, where loss of a server prevents the clients doing anything, even rebooting cleanly. You can create a limited and rudimentary form of failover by using role-base hostnames in your internal DNS -- eg nfsserv.example.com as a CNAME pointing at your main server, and then modify the DNS when you need the failover to occur. It's a bit clunky and needs manual intervention, but it beats having nothing at all.

So recently I've been trying to fix them, and get my system at least backed up so that I can try reinstalling it or putting Windows back on my computer, but today I happened to overwrite my root password (and now I don't know what it is), and to top it off, my kernel is now GENERIC instead of my customized one--which solved the problem where my BSD installation would hang at "Counters tick every 10.000msec" or whatever (basically, I needed to disable ACPI.) So booting without ACPI works, but I can't get into root, and booting as single user hangs on "counters tick...", so I can't change my root password, and I don't quite know how to boot as single user AND without ACPI at the same time. Sorry to be so long-winded, but I'm pretty upset. Thanks for your help.

The source for the FreeBSD resolver.5 man page (/usr/src/share/man/man5/resolver.5) is maintained separately from the equivalent BIND source contributed from the ISC (/usr/src/contrib/bind/doc/man/resolver.5) The 'timeout:' and 'attempts:' entries in the FreeBSD man page are there in HEAD and have been for 5 months, but (despite the CVS comment on version 1.10 of the page) haven't been MFC'd to RELENG_4 or RELENG_5_2 yet. Whether this means that support is available in the underlying resolver libraries is another question.

I just looked at the sources of src/lib/libc/net/res_init.c and it seems that support for "timeout:" only exists in CURRENT. RELENG_4, RELENG_5_0, RELENG_5_1 and RELENG_5_2 lack the part of res_init.c that sets the timeout to the value configured in the `resolv.conf' file. I'm not sure if there are any plans to merge this back to 4.X or the release branches of 5.X though. - Giorgos From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon May 31 01:32:41 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BF5A916A4CE for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 01:32:41 -0700 (PDT) Received: from www.plutao.lusodigital.net (plutao.lusodigital.net [216.234.186.40]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7116743D39 for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 01:32:41 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from carla.neves@nereus.pt) Received: (from root@localhost) by www.plutao.lusodigital.net (8.10.2-SOL3/8.10.2) id i4V8WLR03950; Mon, 31 May 2004 09:32:21 +0100 Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 09:32:21 +0100 Message-Id: <200405310832.i4V8WLR03950@www.plutao.lusodigital.net> From: "Carla Neves" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailer: NeoMail 1.25 X-IPAddress: 81.193.88.210 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Subject: Freebsd - Mail configuration and syntax X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: carla.neves@nereus.pt List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 08:32:41 -0000 Dear All, I would like someone to give me some good tips to configure my email on Freebsd v4.9, to send/receive messages. I would like to use what I have already installed: sendmail, mailx. I went through the Freebsd manual but I coulnd't find any tips for the syntax of sending/receiving emails, just the sendmail configuration. So I would apreciate your help to give me the good steps for: 1- Configuring sendmail (although is already in the manual) 2- Syntax used to send email (with examples would be great). 3- Syntax to see the received emails. I went through the man pages of mailx and sendmail, but they seem not to be very userfriendly for someone who is quite knew configuring email on Freebsd. So could you please help me?

Well, to use mail(1) to send an e-mail from the command line it's pretty much: % mail -s "Message Subject here" addressee@example.com Then type in your message ending with a ^D or a '.' on a line by itself. There are a number of ~-escapes you can use to do things like invoke an editor or edit the message headers. For use in scripting, mail(1) is quite handy -- you can do something like this: mail -s "Automatic Message" recipient@example.com < 3- Syntax to see the received emails. Just type mail to get a listing of your inbox, then type the message number to read that message, or 'n' for the next message. =20 > I went through the man pages of mailx and sendmail, but they seem not=20 > to be very userfriendly for someone who is quite knew configuring=20 > email on Freebsd. So could you please help me? sendmail is quite hard to deal with. A very good resource is the file /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README which summarises all of the options you can put into a .mc file. The Sendmail Operations manual in /usr/share/doc/smm/08.sendmailop/paper.ascii.gz also contains a great deal of useful stuff. However, if you really want to get to grips with it, you should look at the bat book -- Sendmail, 3rd Ed. Costales and Allman, O'Reilly (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/sendmail3/) Personally, I'm not a big fan on the mail(1) command for interactive use -- mutt(1) is much better. Lots of people like pine(1) and it's certainly a lot more friendly towards beginning users. Then there are e-mail clients available for emacs, plus a whole range of GUI mail clients such as Mozilla mail, Thunderbird, Evolution etc. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK --GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAuvYoiD657aJF7eIRAr8VAJ9gJwNL7xrdSpipMS2gvxxi4+oETgCfU8Am eHGZ8vFul8hA1fnKD2M8fEk= =uNCN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw-- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon May 31 02:10:45 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9701016A4CE for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 02:10:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from smtp17.wxs.nl (smtp17.wxs.nl [195.121.6.13]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 12FE543D1D for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 02:10:45 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from marco@beishuizen.info) Received: from yokozuna.bsd (ipd50a233c.speed.planet.nl [213.10.35.60]) by smtp17.wxs.nl (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 1.25 (built Mar 3 2004)) with ESMTP id <0HYK00B8FMTA5G@smtp17.wxs.nl> for questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 31 May 2004 11:10:23 +0200 (CEST) Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 11:10:22 +0200 (CEST) From: Marco Beishuizen In-reply-to: <20040530215748.GA43578@bps.jodocus.org> Sender: marco@yokozuna.bsd To: Joost Bekkers Message-id: MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT FreeBSD: Homepage: References: <20040530232957.B49195@gaff.hhhr.ision.net> <20040530215748.GA43578@bps.jodocus.org> cc: FreeBSD questions mailing list cc: Olaf Hoyer Subject: Re: ifconfig in rc.conf network problems X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: Marco Beishuizen List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 09:10:45 -0000 On stardate Sun, 30 May 2004, the wise Joost Bekkers entered: > On Sun, May 30, 2004 at 11:34:43PM +0200, Olaf Hoyer wrote: >> >> 2) put the media change in a separate shell script, and throw it unter >> /usr/local/etc/rc.d, so that it will be executed later on >> >> something like: >> >>> cat dc0-speedchange.sh >> #!/bin/sh >> ifconfig dc0 media 100baseTX >> > > You might want to put stuff like that in /etc/start_if.dc0 > It gets executed just before the ip address is set or dhclient > is started.

What is the last entry in /var/db/dhclient.leases ? If there's something, does that make sense ? Anything dhclient related in /var/log/messages ? And how about running dhclient manually in the foreground ? As root, kill the running dhclient pid first, and then start: # dhclient -d rl0 where you should replace "rl0" by your own network card. Does that tell you something useful? Rob.

There was nothing in the /var/db/dhclient.leases and the only relevant thing I found in the /var/log/messages was this May 31 05:02:10 kernel: skc0: <3Com 3C940 Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xd800-0xd8ff mem 0xe5800000-0xe5803fff irq 18 at device 9.0 on pci0 May 31 05:02:10 kernel: skc0: 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940) May 31 05:02:10 kernel: sk0: on skc0 May 31 05:02:10 kernel: sk0: Ethernet address: 00:0e:a6:46:f4:d9 May 31 05:02:10 kernel: e1000phy0: on miibus0 May 31 05:02:10 kernel: e1000phy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX-FDX, auto and May 31 05:02:34 dhclient: Can't bind to dhcp address: Address already in use May 31 05:02:34 dhclient: Please make sure there is no other dhcp server May 31 05:02:34 dhclient: running and that there's no entry for dhcp or May 31 05:02:34 dhclient: bootp in /etc/inetd.conf. Also make sure you May 31 05:02:34 dhclient: are not running HP JetAdmin software, which May 31 05:02:34 dhclient: includes a bootp server. so it looks like the kernel is definitely identifying my NIC correctly (I guessed this seeing how I was able to install over FTP) but for whatever reason the dchlient is no longer working I killed the dhclient pid and reran it...both as just "dhclient" and "dhclinet -d sk0" both times the computer would just sit there with nothing happening...no messages no nothing (I let them sit there for 10-15 minutes before I killed it) Don __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Just a shot in the dark on my part, but if you're trying to install with a cable modem try power cycling the modem. I had a similar problem when switched out my NICs. It would hang for about 1-2 minutes on the dhclient part of the boot then not give me an IP. --- |> /\ \/ @ davidd@datasphereweb.com DataSphere - Databases, back end web programming and networking 317.536.1858 ICQ: 21106703 "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sat May 29 19:38:28 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A45DD16A4D2 for ; Sat, 29 May 2004 19:38:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from hotmail.com (bay9-dav6.bay9.hotmail.com [64.4.46.110]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9812143D31 for ; Sat, 29 May 2004 19:38:28 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from krt476@hotmail.com) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Sat, 29 May 2004 19:38:25 -0700 Received: from 141.149.82.192 by bay9-dav6.bay9.hotmail.com with DAV; Sun, 30 May 2004 02:38:25 +0000 X-Originating-IP: [141.149.82.192] X-Originating-Email: [krt476@hotmail.com] X-Sender: krt476@hotmail.com From: "Curtis Hatch" To: Date: Sat, 29 May 2004 22:37:58 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1409 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1409 Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 30 May 2004 02:38:25.0319 (UTC) FILETIME=[2E851370:01C445EF] X-Mailman-Approved-At: Mon, 31 May 2004 05:54:55 -0700 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.1 Subject: how come ur o/s dosn't have this?

I run into some problem here Let's take, that I have 10mbit internet and 1000 users behind the router. All I want to do is to NAT internet over all of these users give some users external IPs (BIMAP in ipfilter) And olso do traffic shaping, like: Some IP groups (10.0.0.0/24) one pipe -> 100kbits some IP groups (10.0.1.0/24 and 10.0.2.0/24) another pipe.. -> 300 kbits for example some individual IPs individual pipes, like 10.10.10.10 has 400kbits The question in what machine do i need? What CPU and how much of ram ? dual or single processor ? or maybe there are any better suggestions ? thanks -- Best regards,Hugle From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon May 31 06:55:51 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8534C16A4CE for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 06:55:51 -0700 (PDT) Received: from wonkity.com (wonkity.com [65.173.111.5]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1C57043D1D for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 06:55:51 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from wblock@wonkity.com) Received: from wonkity.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by wonkity.com (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id i4VDtnZ9074414; Mon, 31 May 2004 07:55:49 -0600 (MDT) (envelope-from wblock@wonkity.com) Received: from localhost (wblock@localhost) by wonkity.com (8.12.11/8.12.11/Submit) with ESMTP id i4VDtm3E074411; Mon, 31 May 2004 07:55:48 -0600 (MDT) (envelope-from wblock@wonkity.com) Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 07:55:48 -0600 (MDT) From: Warren Block To: Carla Neves In-Reply-To: <200405310832.i4V8WLR03950@www.plutao.lusodigital.net> Message-ID: <20040531074643.E74292@wonkity.com> References: <200405310832.i4V8WLR03950@www.plutao.lusodigital.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Freebsd - Mail configuration and syntax X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 13:55:51 -0000 On Mon, 31 May 2004, Carla Neves wrote: > 1- Configuring sendmail (although is already in the manual) There are whole books on this.

Unfortunately that doesn't work with the regular Unix /etc/groups file -- it's only users that can belong to groups. Same goes for things like NIS if you're using that. You might be able to achieve that effect if you're using LDAP, but you'ld have to put a bit of effort into finding out exactly how. The one place where this sort of trick does work is with mail aliases.

On another client, I set up a firewall for 50 users with a Pentium 90MHz with 64MB RAM. > dual or single processor ? One. Don't waste you money. A firewall isn't very CPU intensive.

Installation ran fine on the big machine (a Pentium 4) and FreeBSD was able to boot on that machine without problem. I plugged the Toshiba drive back into my EPIA M (VIA C3 processor) machine and the boot process began as normal, until it paused at the ad0 detection stage. Then messages like the following, dozens of them, start to flood up the screen: ad0: FAILURE - WRITE_DMA status=11 error=84 LBA=4127103 I did have, yesterday, FreeBSD 5.0 running on my EPIA M successfully until I tried to buildworld using 5.2.1 sources, at which point my EPIA hard crashed and reset itself. I assumed my PSU had failed briefly, but is it possible that 5.2.1 has special problems with the EPIA board or processor? Or are these messages a sign that my EPIA board is damaged now?

Sure, it's possible. 5.2.1 is very close to tracking -CURRENT, and there can be some fallout after people make changes to APCI, the ATAng code, and whatnot. However, I have to say that the EPIA hardware tends to be fairly sensitive to things like poor IDE cables, jumping everything according to spec, etc. -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon May 31 09:56:54 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1EC1616A4CF for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 09:56:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: from out004.verizon.net (out004pub.verizon.net [206.46.170.142]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AC3B543D48 for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 09:56:53 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from cswiger@mac.com) Received: from [192.168.1.3] ([68.161.84.3]) by out004.verizon.net (InterMail vM.5.01.06.06 201-253-122-130-106-20030910) with ESMTP id <20040531165518.TSHN1551.out004.verizon.net@[192.168.1.3]>; Mon, 31 May 2004 11:55:18 -0500 Message-ID: <40BB6376.8030704@mac.com> Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 12:55:18 -0400 From: Chuck Swiger Organization: The Courts of Chaos User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: adp References: <011401c446ae$3aa4cff0$6501a8c0@yourqqh4336axf> In-Reply-To: <011401c446ae$3aa4cff0$6501a8c0@yourqqh4336axf> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Authentication-Info: Submitted using SMTP AUTH at out004.verizon.net from [68.161.84.3] at Mon, 31 May 2004 11:55:18 -0500 cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: NFS server fail-over - how do you do it?

Solaris provides mechanisms for NFS-failover for read-only NFS shares, but FreeBSD doesn't seem to support that. Besides, most people seem to want to use read/write filesystems, which makes the former solution not very useful to most people's requirements. The solution to the problem is to make very certain that your primary NFS server does not go down, ever, period. Reasonable people who identify a mission-critical system such as a primary NFS server ought to be willing to spend money to get really good hardware, have a UPS, and so forth to facility the goal of 100% uptime. A Sun E450 still makes a nice primary fileserver, although NAS solutions like a NetApp or an Auspex (not cheap!) should also be considered. The other choice would be to switch from using NFS to using a distributed filesystem which implements fileserver redundancy, such as AFS and it's successor, DFS. -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon May 31 10:03:06 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2BB7F16A4CE for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 10:03:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from ns2.wananchi.com (ns2.wananchi.com [62.8.64.4]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 69AF843D41 for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 10:03:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from wash@wananchi.com) Received: from wash by ns2.wananchi.com with local (Exim 4.34 #0 (FreeBSD 4.9)) id 1BUqB6-00084K-86 by authid for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 20:02:24 +0300 Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 20:02:24 +0300 From: Odhiambo Washington To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20040531170224.GB19426@ns2.wananchi.com> Mail-Followup-To: Odhiambo Washington , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org References: <20040529120436.GA5216@ns2.wananchi.com> <20040529143349.GA1054@lori.mine.nu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20040529143349.GA1054@lori.mine.nu> X-Disclaimer: Any views expressed in this message,where not explicitly attributed otherwise, are mine alone!.

It probably means you have a cheapo network card and the OS has to work very hard to keep it moving data. The vmstat screen of systat will break down the interrupt usage per device, which will tell you if my guess is right or not. If I'm right, it would be worth your while to research the particular NIC you're using to see if there are known problems. Or, if you know it's a cheap NIC, you might want to just replace it. OTOH, if the machine is keeping up with the load, you might want to just leave that NIC in there and let the CPU do its job.

English as a second language, hmm? Very well: Your network card generates a signal when it receives a network packet and wants the OS to "pay attention". That signal is called an interupt, and has a strong correlation with the term "IRQ". You are seeing lots of interrupts because your router is dealing with lots of packets. It is very likely that you can improve the way your system handles this load by tuning your system better, yes. Read "man tuning", and consider rebuilding your kernel using HZ=1000 or so, and enabling DEVICE_POLLING. You should also make sure you've got good network cards in the machine... -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon May 31 10:31:28 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1D24716A4CE for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 10:31:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from cactus.fi.uba.ar (cactus.fi.uba.ar [157.92.49.108]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3FC5243D3F for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 10:31:27 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from fgleiser@cactus.fi.uba.ar) Received: from cactus (cactus [157.92.49.108]) by cactus.fi.uba.ar (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id i4VHUOuW090477; Mon, 31 May 2004 14:30:24 -0300 (ART) (envelope-from fgleiser@cactus.fi.uba.ar) Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 14:30:24 -0300 (ART) From: Fernando Gleiser To: hugle In-Reply-To: <8935715836.20040531193600@vkt.lt> Message-ID: <20040531142628.E90411-100000@cactus.fi.uba.ar> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Spam-Score: -104.901 () BAYES_00,USER_IN_WHITELIST X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.42 cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re[2]: routing for 1000 users and 10Mbit internet.

So amd will help us avoid the "client hung" issue? I will have to take a look. That is the worst thing of all when it comes to a failed NFS server. You can't even remotely reboot the NFS client! Someone has to power reset the damn thing. That's bad. On Sun, May 30, 2004 at 02:43:37AM -0500, adp wrote: > I am running a FreeBSD 4.9-REL NFS server.

If you're mounting those NFS partitions read/write, then there really isn't a good solution for this problem[1] -- you need your NFS server up and running 24x7. If you are NFS mounting those partitions read-only, then you can in principle construct a fail-over system between those servers. Some Unix OSes let you specify a list of servers in fstab(5) (eg. Solaris) and clients will mount from one or other of them. Unfortunately you can't do that with standard NFS mounts under FreeBSD. You could try using VRRP -- see the net/freevrrpd port for example -- but I'm not sure how well that would work if the system failed-over in the middle of an IO transaction. In any case -- certainly if your NFS partitions are read/write, but also for read-only, perhaps the best compromise is to use the automounter amd(8) This certainly does help with the 'nightmare filesystem' scenario, where loss of a server prevents the clients doing anything, even rebooting cleanly. You can create a limited and rudimentary form of failover by using role-base hostnames in your internal DNS -- eg nfsserv.example.com as a CNAME pointing at your main server, and then modify the DNS when you need the failover to occur. It's a bit clunky and needs manual intervention, but it beats having nothing at all.

We have a very stable NFS server, but I am still working hard to put some redundancy into place. I was thinking that since NFS is udp-based, that if the primary NFS server failed, and the secondary assumed the primary NFS server's IP address, that things would at least return to normal (of course, any writes that had been in progress would fail horribly). That doesn't seem to be the case. During a test we killed the main NFS server and brought up the NFS IP as an alias on the backup. Didn't work.

Sorry, NFS simply won't work with the model of operation you've described. There is no way to do fallback to a secondary NFS server if the primary goes down when using read/write shares, nor does there exist any way to push the changes made to a secondary fileserver back to the primary, even if you could convince the clients to fail-over in the first place.

What I did was I've followed the instructions on the site which says that the most convinient way is to use the /stand/sysinstall utility and choose the Upgrade from the list... when I'm on it... I've chosen to download from the ftp.freebsd.org then I selected minimal upgrade since I've already an upgraded version of XFree86.... And I also unchecked the crypto option... to make sure that i'm installing the least possible packages size.. Question: Have I done the right thing when upgrading from 4.9 to 4.10. or I've just downloaded 40 mb worth of unworthy files?? Cause I cannot see my system booting in Freebsd version 4.10... still says freebsd 4.9... It also add something like.. cant load kernel.. booting old... If I'm on the right track,, Is there any command that I can type to be able to test it? thanks -jay __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

You would probably do better to start with listing your requirements and see whether you can do what you need to do with fewer moving pieces, because setting up LDAP and Cyrus can take a considerable amount of work.

Any direction on how to 'shoot and fix this > wins a free beer next time you're in NYC. Thanks... Did you forget to run mergemaster? When updating via cvsup, you should *always* do the following: 1) cvsup 2) make buildworld 3) make buildkernel 4) make installkernel 5) reboot in single-user mode 6) run mergemaster -p 7) make installworld 8) run mergemaster Then, double-check /etc/rc.conf against /etc/defaults/rc.conf to see if there are any important changes in startup functionality. Then, and only then, should it be safe to reboot. If you've merged in any changes under /etc/mail, you should also cd /etc/mail and make all install before rebooting as well.

The /stand/sysinstall upgrade route sounds very appealing to the uninitiated, but actually you tend to get better results by using cvsup(1) to pull down the appropriate set of source code, and doing the whole 'make world' cycle yourself. There's several more stages to that procedure, but it's mostly along the lines of "type this command, and then go away and have a hot beverage of your choice while the machine does a load of stuff". Full instructions are at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html The really, really good thing about the 'make world' procedure is that if it goes wrong in most of the stages then there's no lasting harm done: even if you've got as far as the stage of installing a new kernel which you find doesn't work, you can still back it out without too much trouble and try again. =20 > Question: Have I done the right thing when upgrading > from 4.9 to 4.10. or I've just downloaded 40 mb worth > of unworthy files??=20 Nope. The /stand/sysinstall procedure certainly should work. The files you've downloaded are the same as went onto the 4.10-RELEASE CDs. =20 > Cause I cannot see my system booting in Freebsd > version 4.10... still says freebsd 4.9...=20 > It also add something like.. cant load kernel.. > booting old... It looks to me as if you have a (mostly) 4.10 userland installed, but the 4.10 kernel you're trying to boot from has been trashed. (So the system boots up using /kernel.old, which is the 4.9 kernel you were using before). There's plenty of ways you could have ended up with a corrupted kernel image -- did you perhaps run out of space in your root partition? Whatever, you've got a 80% updated system. and your next course of action has to be to try and get an uncorrupted copy of the 4.10 kernel installed as /kernel. You can copy the kernel image from any of the installation CD images, or you can build your own from the system sources: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-= building.html although you will need to be familiar with the chflags(1) command and you should boot into single user mode first if you usually run using a raised securelevel. More info here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-= trouble.html#KERNELCONFIG-NOBOOT Having a mis-match between the kernel and the userland versions is not a good thing, but it usually isn't disastrous if the versions aren't too far apart. Various programs that access kernel data -- like ps(1) and top(1) -- probably won't work but you should be able to live without them long enough to get everything back in synch again. =20 > If I'm on the right track,, Is there any command that > I can type to be able to test it? Hmmm... it's a bit more involved than a single command to sort this type of problem out. But it is eminently fixable and it shouldn't require you to have to do anything regrettable, like a complete re-install from scratch.

Most functions have slowed dramatically. Some examples: If I try to ping a host on the internet (e.g. freebsd.org), I get all the packets, but the output of the command doesn't begin for at least 10 seconds. If I try startx, it takes about 30 seconds just to begin to display the root window. Even backspacing seems much slower. While this is going on, no unusual processes are running and the CPU is practically unused. Nor is it merely a matter of delay--the CPU usage never spikes up like it normally would. It just sits mostly idle while the command I've issued takes a long time to complete. Although I haven't installed any software or changed anything else lately, I tried booting the GENERIC kernel instead, but the problem remained. I can always tell when the problem will occur based upon what happens at boot. There are no error messages, but the slowness begins when the standard daemons are loading. Cron and sshd load just fine, but the delay occurs as sendmail loads, and there is another delay as sendmail-clientmqueue loads. Once that happens I know I'm in trouble thereafter. I know this isn't much to go on, but does anyone have any clue on what I might try?

Classic error. You tried to use one of the *system* CVS tags on the ports tree. As is now abundantly clear, that does not work. Check your supfile -- you need tag=3D. for the ports collections. Look at the example supfiles in /usr/share/examples/cvsup and read the extensive comments within those files for details. Or search the archives of this mailing list for the many, many occasions where this has been dealt with before.

This sounds to me a lot like DNS trouble. If for some reason the first listed nameserver in your /etc/resolv.conf was not working correctly, but the second or third one was, it could have the result you describe: a lot of commands mysteriously hang for what feels like forever, but is usually less than a minute. > I can always tell when the problem will occur based upon what > happens at boot.

Yup. sendmail is a very heavy DNS user and it won't start up without doing lookups on a load of stuff. sendmail hanging on startup is pretty much diagnostic for DNS troubles. =20 > I know this isn't much to go on, but does anyone have any clue > on what I might try? Thank you. Are you using DHCP to configure your network interface? That should create a /etc/resolv.conf file for you automatically. In that file you should see at least two 'nameserver' lines containing the addresses of some DNS servers provided by your ISP. You can test whether your system can do lookups via those servers by: % dig @12.34.56.78 www.freebsd.org where '12.34.56.78' should be replaced by each of the nameserver IP numbers from /etc/resolv.conf in turn. If things are working correctly you should get a response in a few milliseconds. If you can confirm that is the problem, then you may be able to edit the /etc/resolv.conf file and reorder the nameserver lines so that a communicative server is listed first. That however is just a band-aid and you will need to find out why your ISP's servers cannot be queried. Make sure you check your firewall configuration carefully -- it's very embarassing to complain to tech support and then find that it was you blocking the traffic all along.

That should work, I believe. NFS is stateless so as long as "a" server starts responding to the client, it should wake up. You may get "stale NFS handle" errors on open files or ones not synched to the slave when the master failed, but apart from that you should be okay. Does a tcpdump show any NFS traffic at all? I have a port of the heartbeat program (from the badly-named www.linux-ha.org site) that automates the IP failover part that I will be submitting soon. 1.2.1 actually works out of the box on FreeBSD, but 1.2.2 has problems releasing the IP when you try to move an active server to standby. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon May 31 13:03:47 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2458916A4CE for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 13:03:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail1.simplenet.com (mail1.simplenet.com [209.132.1.30]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0930243D39 for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 13:03:47 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from tt-list@simplenet.com) Received: from TraverPC.simplenet.com (66.27.122.77) by mail1.simplenet.com (7.0.016) (authenticated as tt-list@simplenet.com) id 40BB02A000001808; Mon, 31 May 2004 12:53:46 -0700 Message-Id: <6.0.1.1.0.20040531130026.01ef4ec0@mail1.simplenet.com> X-Sender: tt-list@simplenet.com@mail1.simplenet.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 6.0.1.1 Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 13:01:25 -0700 To: scot-gale@excite.com, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org From: Tim Traver In-Reply-To: <20040531191730.C0D563DDC@xprdmailfe12.nwk.excite.com> References: <20040531191730.C0D563DDC@xprdmailfe12.nwk.excite.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.1 Subject: Re: FreeBSD 4.8R sluggish performance X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 20:03:47 -0000 Yep, I would bet on DNS troubles as well... many apps have to wait for the DNS request to time out before they continue. Check to make sure that the DNS servers in resolv.conf are reachable by your machine. Tim.

It was being discussed on this list earlier last week. I have attached my thread for your perusal. I have the same ethernet card as you. There is a workaround in the attachment that I am using (I also created a script to do it) but if someone comes up with a real fix it would be muck better. Read through my attachment and see if you think we have the same problem.

You tried to use one of the *system* CVS tags on the ports tree. As is now abundantly clear, that does not work. Check your supfile -- you need tag=. for the ports collections.

You can see if this is a DNS issue by comparing the reactions: ping hostname ping hostname's-ip-address In other words, if it's slow to look up a name, but quick when it doesn't have to, you've shown that it is a DNS problem. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon May 31 13:36:53 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A982B16A4CE for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 13:36:53 -0700 (PDT) Received: from smtp01.mrf.mail.rcn.net (smtp01.mrf.mail.rcn.net [207.172.4.60]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 73D9243D41 for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 13:36:53 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from gerard-seibert@rcn.com) Received: from 207-237-110-41.c3-0.crm-ubr4.crm.ny.cable.rcn.com ([207.237.110.41] helo=Gerard.rcn.com) by smtp01.mrf.mail.rcn.net with esmtp (Exim 3.35 #7) id 1BUtWR-0004hj-00 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 31 May 2004 16:36:40 -0400 Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 16:36:42 -0400 (Eastern Standard Time) From: Gerard Seibert To: freebsd-questions Message-ID: X-X-Sender: beerstud@spamcop.net@mail.cesmail.net MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Subject: Making chmod changes static X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 20:36:53 -0000 I am using FreeBSD 5.2.1 I need to make both the floppy drive (fd0), the internal zip dive (afd0) and the cdrom (acd0) usable by any user without having to use 'sudo' or go the 'su' route. I believe that I have followed all of the directions for using 'chmod' and creating a mount point in the user's home directory. Everything works fine until the system is rebooted. At that time, the 'chmod' values are rewritten. Is there a way that I can prevent that from happening? I really do not need to keep changing things every time the system is started up, especially since I am basically the only user on this computer. Thanks!

Else you have to wait for an ARP timeout. Some systems (all?) perform a gratuitous arp-reply when an if comes up. But some other systems ignore this if they already have an arp entry, or if they weren't asking for the arp in the first place. 2) The failed system must be made to stay failed, else there is hell to pay when it comes back and finds another system in the bed, er, server room! In a main/standby scenario, this is doable with some simple scripting. Any more than that and you will need some dynamic voting algortihm support. A nice thing about *real* computers is that they have an RS-232 console port and can be made to stay down with a BRK. I believe the PC weasel will allow that, as well. A remote power controller can also serve this need. 3) One argument for run-levels in init was to keep a system at rl 2 monitoring the primary, then go to rl 3 if the primary failes. This, of course, can be done with flat rc.d, and entirely without it, as well. But it made the primary/hotstandby scheme trivial to set-up. Regardless of where you put it and what all it calls, make a single script that can be run from your monitor app once it decides the master is gone. It ensures the primary is dead, starts the server processes, and screams like the dickens for help. 4) NFS may be stateless, but NFS over TCP is common nowadays, and it isn't. Though, I believe the automounter can help with that. 5) NAS serving SAN is nice if you can afford all that fiber term gear. But you can do the same with a scsi raid array that has two host ports. You don't even need the second host port if you can change the scsi initiator ID of one of the hosts. Just keep your cable lengths as short as you can. 6) It is generally cheaper to buy than build, unless you have done it before. The devil is in the details. I've done it before, and I'll buy every time. Given that, a plug for some friends of mine that have made this work in the pri/hs mode. www.nssolutions.com Cheers! -sam From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon May 31 13:51:21 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 519F516A4CF for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 13:51:21 -0700 (PDT) Received: from excite.com (nn6.excitenetwork.com [207.159.120.60]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 304D543D45 for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 13:51:21 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from scot-gale@excite.com) Received: by xprdmailfe1.nwk.excite.com (Postfix, from userid 110) id 6D512109EE7; Mon, 31 May 2004 16:51:07 -0400 (EDT) To: m.seaman@infracaninophile.co.uk Received: from [69.42.7.251] by xprdmailfe1.nwk.excite.com via HTTP; Mon, 31 May 2004 16:51:07 EST X-AntiAbuse: This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse report X-AntiAbuse: ID = c21cc6bbdc82052d725bb1dd02f505c3 From: "Scott" MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Sender: scot-gale@excite.com X-Mailer: PHP Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: <20040531205107.6D512109EE7@xprdmailfe1.nwk.excite.com> Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 16:51:07 -0400 (EDT) cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: SOLVED: Re: FreeBSD 4.8R sluggish performance X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: scot-gale@excite.com List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 20:51:21 -0000 Thanks, Matthew, you were exactly right. My ISP has given me problems with DNS before, but it never manifested in this way. Instead, in the middle of a browsing session both DNS servers would fail and I would simply type in the information for a DNS server from another ISP into resolv.conf. The thing that took my mind off DNS was the slowness of startx--I never knew that it did DNS lookups when X was launched. Anyway, reversing the nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf worked. Interestingly enough, while booted into Windows I noted the IP addresses of the DNS servers offered with that DHCP lease and they were entirely different. Further investigation revealed that my ISP is currently offering leases that point to other ISP's nameservers, so I gather that my ISP is aware that they have DNS problems. Thanks again. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

One question for you before I answer yours. I still have to kill dhclient and netstart after a reboot. Did you imply that after wiping out the hostname in rc.conf you can reboot and your dhcp is up? Now for your question. I have not had any problems starting x before or after. I was always redoing the /stand/sysinstall to get the dhcp up and then startx so that I had a network. Have you checked your /etc/hosts for the correct hostname? When I did not have that set properly, I had x complaining, but not just a grey screen.

I have three questions/problems with the proper use: 1) I get the error message: /usr/local/bin/archivemail:760: SyntaxWarning: assignment to None (None, last_dir) = os.path.split(os.path.dirname(message.fp.name)) I found the answer (Google) and a patch (it is a problem depending on Python 2.3). Is there another solution to this problem? 2) Running archivemail -d90 -o $HOME/Mail/Archive $HOME/Mail/* like it is explained in the man-pages I have the problem that archivemail will stop archiving mail at that moment it finds a non valid mailbox format file (e.g a mutt's alias or signature file): this file is not being ignored by archivemail but instead archivemail will stop with an nonzero exit indicating "an unexpected error". I also use archivemail on my Debian box and there these files do not matter or stop archivemail from archiving when it finds a non mailbox formated file. 3) I want to run it in a cron job but to be honest I am not quiet sure where to put my archive script. In my /etc/periodic.conf I have two places where to put it: a) local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic" b) monthly_local="/etc/monthly.local" # Local scripts Which one should I usei (do I have to create /usr/local/etc/periodic/monthly) and if I put a cron script to a local place will it be considered by anacron or do I have to change my settings of anacron?

Some of it touched on the time required to build when using a source-based packaging system. This gave me an idea: why don't we integrate the bento cluster (http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/) with the ports system? What I envision: Packages are already being built (for example, http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-packages-5-latest/). The ports system would default to using the package if available, but there would be an option to always compile from source. If the package wasn't available (not yet built, NO_PACKAGE, etc.), the port would be compiled from source as before. All that is needed is to set the default PACKAGESITE to the above URL (or something slightly different depending on architecture/release), make packages the default, and ensure there is enough bandwidth to handle the load (mirrors?). I know security would be a major consideration, but handling the load is the only technical difficulty I see... I think a significant number of people are turned off from FreeBSD because of how long it takes to upgrade ports. This would speed things up for them while preserving the flexibility of compiling from source for those who want to do so. This is a simple enough idea; surely others have considered it as well. Any thoughts? Jon Noack P.S. The opinion on the DragonFly kernel list was that it was a good idea in principle, but that the *BSD package system is very fragile.

Is there another solution to this problem? Update your ports. It's fixed in archivemail-0.6.1_1. Apart from that, it's only a syntax _warning_ (which of course can be quite annoying if you rung archivemail from a cron job and receive an error report every day), i.e. archivemail works despite of that message. > 2) Running=20 > archivemail -d90 -o $HOME/Mail/Archive $HOME/Mail/* [...] > 3) I want to run it in a cron job but to be honest I am not quiet sure wh= ere > to put my archive script. [...] You're lucky: Several months ago, I did exactly the same thing. You should put the cron job into your personal cron tab, i.e. as the user who's mail should be processed by archivemail, run=20 crontab -e (The other stuff you were looking at were system wide cron jobs). Okay, here comes my config: =46rom my cron tab (the following line starts my mailexpire script every day at 19:30) 30 19 * * * /home/simon/bin/mailexpire.sh ------------------------- #!/bin/sh # mail boxes to by processed by archive mail MBOXES=3D"freebsd-ports.box\ freebsd-questions.box" cd /home/simon/Mail; # be sure to change the archivemail options to your personal needs for box in $MBOXES; do /usr/local/bin/archivemail -d 21 --delete -q $box done ------------------------- All this works very well for me, although every other day, I get an email =66rom archivemail that one of my mail boxes changed during its operation. This shouldn't normally happen, since both archivemail and fetchmail (which I use to download my email) use several locking mechanisms to insure that only one of them is operating on particular mail box. IIRC the archivemail man page elaborates more on this. Since archivemail is designed not to trash/loose your mail boxes under any circumstances, this was never a problem for me. Anyway, I wouldn't use archive mail for my personal mail boxes, but only for mailing lists, where you still have the archives, just in case ...

A gbit NIC isn't going to run at gbit speed on a 100mbit switch. I would look elsewhere than the NIC.

I don't reboot this machine very often and my script file seems to work fine. If you are interested, here it is $ cat /root/scripts/start-sk0.sh #! /bin/sh killall -9 dhclient sh /etc/netstart ifconfig -a If I ever have to reboot, I log in as root and execute this script and the network comes up fine. I then exit and log in as my normal user and startx. It was never more than an annoyance to me, so I can live like this.

Furthermore, they may not interoperate as expected with what you have on your own system, because ports are customized for installed packages and build settings (e.g. building with GNOME support when you have GNOME installed). The packages on the FTP site are updated periodically from a known-good build.

The ports tree is just instructions on building programs. It doesn't include the source. That would add another 14GB to the size of your download :) You will have to manually download that file and place it in /usr/ports/distfiles, or tell fetch about your authenticated proxy (run 'man 3 fetch', search for ENVIRONMENT). -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon May 31 23:00:40 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7B34116A4CE for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 23:00:40 -0700 (PDT) Received: from pd2mo2so.prod.shaw.ca (shawidc-mo1.cg.shawcable.net [24.71.223.10]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5582543D39 for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 23:00:40 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from flowers@users.sourceforge.net) Received: from pd3mr7so.prod.shaw.ca (pd3mr7so-qfe3.prod.shaw.ca [10.0.141.23])2003))freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 31 May 2004 23:54:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from pn2ml2so.prod.shaw.ca ([10.0.121.146]) by pd3mr7so.prod.shaw.ca (Sun ONE Messaging Server 6.0 HotFix 1.01 (built Mar 15 2004)) with ESMTP id <0HYM00I6R8E0V7E0@pd3mr7so.prod.shaw.ca> for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 31 May 2004 23:54:00 -0600 (MDT) Received: from sirius (S0106004001438e5b.cg.shawcable.net [68.144.47.89]) 2003))freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 31 May 2004 23:54:00 -0600 (MDT) Date: Mon, 31 May 2004 23:53:59 -0600 From: Danny MacMillan In-reply-to: <20040601051837.16D5B4C0D6@spy10.spymac.net> To: muhammad_ali@spymac.com, freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-id: MIME-version: 1.0 X-MIMEOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1409 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2911.0) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Importance: Normal X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-priority: Normal Subject: RE: Troubles with ports...

This is normal behaviour. The ports collection does not include qt-x11-free-3.3.2.tar.bz2. In broad terms, the ports collection does not contain =any= software. Rather, it contains instructions for obtaining and building software to run on your FreeBSD system. When you "make install" a certain port A, it will first make those ports A depends on, and each port THOSE ports depend on, and so on until it comes to a port that doesn't depend on anything you don't already have installed. It will recursively traverse the dependencies until finally it is able to make the port you asked it to make. If I understand you correctly, this is an issue because your fetch is not working through your authenticated ftp proxy. I believe you're going to be less frustrated dealing with that problem first. Otherwise you'll have to manually fetch every distfile for /usr/ports/x11/kde3 and all ports it depends on, directly or indirectly, and that is a =lot= of files, presuming you can manually retrieve these files. You should also be aware that building a mega-package like kde from source is quite a lengthy process, even on relatively fast hardware. You may wish instead to install binary packages. Ordinarily a reference to pkg_add -r is included at this point, but you may have trouble even with that unless and until you get your ftp proxy issue resolved. -- Danny From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon May 31 23:19:59 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 144D416A4CE for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 23:19:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gremlin.internode.com.au (gremlin.internode.com.au [192.83.231.88]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CD5B543D48 for ; Mon, 31 May 2004 23:19:57 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from adam@internode.com.au) Received: from gremlin.internode.com.au (localhost [127.0.0.1]) i516JhS3009557; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 15:49:43 +0930 (CST) (envelope-from adam@internode.com.au) Received: (from adam@localhost)i516Jftl009556; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 15:49:41 +0930 (CST) (envelope-from adam@internode.com.au) X-Authentication-Warning: gremlin.internode.com.au: adam set sender to adam@internode.com.au using -f Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2004 15:49:41 +0930 From: Adam Smith To: Stephen Liu Message-ID: <20040601061940.GA2205@internode.com.au> References: <20040601051413.86919.qmail@web40311.mail.yahoo.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20040601051413.86919.qmail@web40311.mail.yahoo.com> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i X-Face: $vsV$1FNbZN\JVpjV#&+/!oVW`Kw$j?w_,te\SS}(tKD21c+l$t%\RCS(r$G; XXk]6,(!N:&(N3EV0bY`3):UrgG7'*qsj3l.75IaHV1<`i*{[L\:F*l6fH##C:-p2]xW/R-Z:!bo; 5g3GP-{I{}7O>tN}`Xm/=-:8NG?f-r'$Qc3y[aW-7'W_S<`KYU!_; `7K=kuC$-.7J2*kk=~`c@ADp+xhsv(!a@eW-R_5wtx+tC)(]%W+ cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Seeking advice on 'ports-supfile' X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 01 Jun 2004 06:19:59 -0000 On Tue, Jun 01, 2004 at 01:14:13PM +0800, Stephen Liu said: > Hi folks, > > FreeBSD-5.2 > > I'm seeking for advice on 'ports-supfile' to run > > # cvsup -g /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ > ports-supfile > > the second time as at the first time there were some > problems I don't quite use it this way. I use the three files located at http://www.bugman.cx/cvsup/ and I always put them in my /etc directory (just for easy access). make.conf is empty during a standard FreeBSD installation, but by putting (some) of these options in it, you'll be able to update the ports by cd-ing to /usr/ports and typing in 'make update'.

I feel soooooooooo stupid... i did feel something was wrong when i found that ports.tar.gz was 27mb but i thought maybe it has been super-compressed or something. But honestly, no where in the guide or the ports page led me to believe that i would need the 14GB download... i think i'll get the CDs... As for fetch, i have added vars in make.conf file and i am getting authenticated now but for some reason i can only access files through http and not ftp... thanks...

I am not currently running BIND (or any other nameserver), and therefore have configured my system to use one of my ISP's DNS servers. I've noticed that each attempted connection to my mail server now generates a flurry of DNS requests from my mail server to my ISP's DNS server. I'd like to streamline this process, but I don't really want to take on DNS administration. I've heard about caching DNS servers, and "tiny DNS", and I wondered if they might suit my needs.

(1) There's no need to compile sound support and firewall options statically into the kernel. Of course you can do so, but you can use modules for this purpose too. It's your choice. (2) You can safely comment out support for hardware you don't have on your system. (3) It's quite some time ago that 4.9 came out and several security related bugs have been discovered and fixed since then. That's why you should update your sources using cvsup(1) and rebuild the entire base system, not only the kernel. After having updated the sources - cd /usr/src - read UPDATING and README - cp sys/i386/conf/GENERIC sys/i386/conf/CUSTOM_KERNEL - edit your custom kernel configuration - make buildworld - make buildkernel - make installkernel - reboot to single user mode, fsck and mount the file systems - mergemaster -p - cd /usr/src - make installworld - mergemaster these steps will leave you with an up to date system using the GENERIC kernel. To create and install a custom kernel just repeat the make build/install kernel steps in /usr/src but add KERNCONF=CUSTOM_KERNEL. reboot and enjoy From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jun 1 00:50:06 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 17C2416A4CF for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 00:50:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: from web40307.mail.yahoo.com (web40307.mail.yahoo.com [66.218.78.86]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 0797743D2F for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 00:50:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from satimis@yahoo.com) Message-ID: <20040601074950.85222.qmail@web40307.mail.yahoo.com> Received: from [203.88.164.69] by web40307.mail.yahoo.com via HTTP; Tue, 01 Jun 2004 15:49:50 CST Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2004 15:49:50 +0800 (CST) From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Stephen=20Liu?= To: Adam Smith In-Reply-To: <20040601061940.GA2205@internode.com.au> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Seeking advice on 'ports-supfile' X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 01 Jun 2004 07:50:06 -0000 Hi Adam, Tks for your advice. > > FreeBSD-5.2 > > > > I'm seeking for advice on 'ports-supfile' to run > > > > # cvsup -g /usr/local/etc/cvsup/ > > ports-supfile > > > > the second time as at the first time there were > some > > problems > > I don't quite use it this way. > > I use the three files located at > http://www.bugman.cx/cvsup/ and I always > put them in my /etc directory (just for easy > access).

I don't know exactly when the fixit CDs became bootable. I am not sure about the release 4.9 fixit CD, but I believe the release 5.2, 5.2.1, and 4.10 fixit CDs are bootable, just like the installation CD. The difference is that when you boot the fixit CD you can't really do an installation (because the bytes to install are not there) and when you go into fixit mode you don't have to change the CD in the drive.

After some weeks and a relocation I've been able to dig further in it and come to the conclusion that the 504T (mind the 'T') is buggy. Both the D-Link European help desk and the following page confirmed what I suspected: http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,10278563~mode=flat So, unless D-Link comes out with a new firmware you'd better steer clear from this DSL router.

The idea makes me shiver, as I'm quite sure there would be data losses. However, if you are so brave... have you tried freevrrpd? The problem might be that clients still have that IP associated with the old MAC address in their tables. VRRP is a protocol designed to handel failovers that should also deal with this, by changing the IP *and* the MAC address of the card. bye av.

My mail setup is Postfix with amavisd-new, spamassasin(built into amavisd-new) and clamav antivirus. It was quite easy to setup, and its stable. For IMAP and POP i use Courier-Imap with SSL, and for webmail i use SquirrelMail. The admin is low (although i only have about 5 LAN users). I would recommend my mail setup anyday. If you like i can mail some resources that i used in setting up our server. > >Another issue is the FreeBSD version. Should I stay with >the 4.x-STABLE >or should I go with the 5.x.

I hope this is the right place to ask... First I would like to say that my understanding of this issue is minor, so if my questions seem stupid, I apologize in advance. I have two Western Digital hard drives, (1) WD400BB (40GB) and (2) WD300BB (30GB) and an Asus CUS-L2C motherboard (Intel 815EP chipset). The manufacturer website doesn't provide the CHS geometry for the drives, but lists the number of LBA sectors for each drive. For (1) it's 78,165,360 sectors * 512 bytes resulting in about 40.02 GB. For (2) it's 58,633,344 sectors * 512 bytes resulting in about 30.02 GB. On the first drive I currently have Windows XP, the second drive is empty. Western Digital's diagnostic utility for Windows detects the CHS geometry of the drives as (1) 4865/255/63 and (2) 3649/255/63 and confirms that the number of LBA sectors is identical to the manufacturer specification. FreeBSD 5.2.1 detects the CHS geometry (When it boots, there's a listing of the hard drives and the CHS geometry, but no LBA sectors) as (1) 77545/16/63 and (2) 58168/16/63. I have several questions regarding this. 1) What is the difference between a geometry of 58168/16/63 and 3649/255/63, why did the diagnostic utility detect the latter form, while FreeBSD detected the former (Also, Linux 2.4 detects the geometry as 3649/255/63)? 2) When installing FreeBSD, sysinstall warns that a geometry of the first drive (1) as it detects it (77545/16/63) is incorrect and can't be used. It automatically replaces the values with 4865/255/63. The problem is that after replacing the geometry with 4865/255/63 the number of LBA sectors (as listed in the Disk Slice editor) becomes lower than the manufacturer spec (78,156,225 instead of 78,165,360). What does this mean? 3) I tried installing FreeBSD on the second drive. Sysinstall didn't complain about the geometry of 58168/16/63 and I was able to install. The interesting thing is that when I started the installation program of Fedora Core Linux (Had to check something, and it was FC1 which means 2.4 kernel) it complained about an incorrect partition table that was generated by a tool that didn't have the right BIOS geometry. When I reinstalled FreeBSD on the same drive, but changed the geometry from 58168/16/63 to 3649/255/63, and launched the Fedora Core setup again - it didn't complain! Why is that?

I've just installed from ports, so I've got proftpd-1.2.10.r1 I've added the following to my config file : DefaultAddress 193.xx.xx.xx I then start ProFTPD and get the following message: - setting default address to 193.xx.xx.xx However, netstat -an | grep 21 shows me this tcp4 0 0 *.21 *.* LISTEN So it's binding to both IP's on the machine. I've tested this and I can definitely FTP to both IP addresses - which is NOT what I want. The reason I'm trying to get this working is that I need 2 different config's on the same machine.

Does anyone have any advice as to how I can get this working under FreeBSD ? My supplier doesn't support FreeBSD but they do support Linux, and they've said if it works under one, it should work under the other. -- Wayne Pascoe (gpg --keyserver www.co.uk.pgp.net --recv-keys 79A7C870) God gave you the power - Preacher on the Simpsons Hmm.

With nat it's rather clear but as to using a separate proxy - man 5 ipnat and practice says I can't use "from" clause in rdr. Any ideas (except switching to ipfw) ?

Probably only the device ID of the card is not listed in the fxp0 driver. Your case reminds of a very similar problem in c.o.f.m., where the following made the card (also Intel) work (a PR has already been filed): Try adding the following line into the following struct static struct fxp_ident fxp_ident_table[] (/usr/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c) { 0x1051, -1, "Intel 82562ET Pro/100 Ethernet" }, This was a Tyan S5102G3NR motherboard with 3 onboard NICs. Of course, the correct name for your NIC might be different, but that shouldn't bee too much of a problem. In case I guessed wrong, please provide me with the output of pciconfig -l dmesg and I'll what I can do. A link to the specification of the motherboard wouldn' hurt, either.

Probably. It just seems like a lot of $$$ to drop when you haven't tried polling yet. Keep in mind, that if you try polling and it doesn't work, you can just turn it back off, and you haven't spent any $$$ on hardware that didn't help. > BM> I would look elsewhere than the NIC.

I guess. I would expect numbers like that considering the load it's under. I'll ask _again_ ... is the machine's performance poor? Fact is, if you give it enough network traffic to shape, it's going to raise the CPU load, no matter what you do. I guess, if you absolutely want to come up with a reason to buy new hardware, this is as good a reason as any. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jun 1 06:19:35 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 170F516A4CE for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 06:19:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: from TYO202.gate.nec.co.jp (TYO202.gate.nec.co.jp [202.32.8.202]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1202543D1F for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 06:19:34 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from aldinson@ntsp.nec.co.jp) Received: from mailgate3.nec.co.jp (mailgate53.nec.co.jp [10.7.69.192]) i51DJWY15206 for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 22:19:32 +0900 (JST) Received: (from root@localhost) by mailgate3.nec.co.jp (8.11.7/3.7W-MAILGATE-NEC) id i51DJW510258 for freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 22:19:32 +0900 (JST) Received: from fireball.ntsp.nec.co.jp (postfix@[172.28.58.1]) by isgw1.nec.co.jp (8.11.7/3.7W-ISGW-NEC) with ESMTP id i51DJVA13873 for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 22:19:31 +0900 (JST) Received: from the-one (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by fireball.ntsp.nec.co.jp (Postfix) with ESMTP id 39A1E29B0E for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 21:19:52 +0800 (HKT) Received: from 172.28.58.4 ([172.28.58.4] helo=galadriel.ntsp.nec.co.jp) by the-one ; 1 Jun 04 13:19:52 -0000 Received: from hq.ntsp.nec.co.jp (frytrix.hq.ntsp.nec.co.jp [172.28.58.129]) by galadriel.ntsp.nec.co.jp (Postfix) with ESMTP id 910A440203 for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 21:17:30 +0800 (PHT) Received: (from smtp@localhost) by hq.ntsp.nec.co.jp (8.9.2/8.9.2) id VAA09555 for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 21:19:27 +0800 (HKT) Received: from UNKNOWN(172.28.59.176), claiming to be "demeter" via SMTP by frytrix, id smtpdAAA0zyV2O; Tue Jun 1 13:19:20 2004 From: "Aldinson C.

I'm having a similar problem, in fact I posted a query on freebsd-questions last week (subject: miibus and fxp motherboard devices). The on-board NICs are being seen, however they aren't being configured fully. I have a 3 onboard NIC motherboard; I've asked the supplier for the manufacturer's name of the motherboard. I've tried adding the 0x1051 line to my if_fxp.c file, but it did not have any effect. This is ifconfig for fxp0 and fxp3, being the first motherboard mounted and an external pci-card mounted version of the same chip: fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet x.y.z.a netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast x.y.z.255 ether 00:30:64:01:86:ff media: Ethernet manual fxp3: flags=8802 mtu 1500 ether 00:30:64:01:81:18 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier This is the comparable dmesg: fxp0: port 0xd400-0xd43f mem \ 0xe7200000-0xe72fffff,0xe7302000-0xe7302fff irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci0 fxp0: Ethernet address 00:30:64:01:86:ff, 10Mbps fxp3: port 0xc000-0xc03f mem \ 0xe6000000-0xe60fffff,0xe6201000-0xe6201fff irq 10 at device 12.0 on pci3 fxp3: Ethernet address 00:30:64:01:81:18 inphy0: on miibus0 inphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto Note how the external is on the miibus while the on-board isn't, and that the supported media types list 10baseT etc whereas the on-board simply support 10Mbps (manual).

I have a USR 5610 PCI modem that, for some reason, I cannot get to work under FreeBSD 5.2.1. I just installed 5.2.1 last week. Previously, I used 5.1, but it was on a different computer. The thing is, the modem worked great in that other computer. I switched it over to this computer after buying the computer new a couple of months back. When I boot the machine, dmesg says it finds the modem at sio0 with irq 18. A line or two later, it says it's moving sio0 to sio4, and it puts something else (presumably the "real" serial port on the back of my PC) into sio0. It complains about irq 18 not being in the pool of irqs, or something like that, and says that this port may not be enabled. If I then take a look in /dev, there are no serial ports (sio0 or sio4) listed, but I do have cuaa0 and cuaa4. (which I've noticed that cuaia4, cuaa4, and cuala4 all disappear if I pull out the modem) When I run pciconf -l -v, it tells me that the modem is still at sio4, even though nothing by that name is in /dev. I've also tried running a few basic commands on /dev/cuaa4, but with no luck. I ran ppp, set the device, speed, and enabled dns (as per the ppp troubleshooting section of the handbook) and typed term. I got the correct prompt, but when I try to type in 'at' (without the quotes), all I get on the screen is 'a'. Things seem to be one letter behind. If I were to keep typing and do atdt, it would only show atd until I hit enter. If I hit enter a second time, the cursor returns to the beginning of the line with atdt on it, rather than giving me a new line. At this point, I cannot quit. I just have to bring up another terminal and killall ppp. I've also played around with cu, but with similar results. When I issue cu -l /dev/cuaa4, it says "CONNECT". Then when I try typing the at or atdt commands, it does the same as ppp, and I have to kill it in a similar manner. I've tried moving PCI cards around, and it gives me different irqs (18, 19, or 20, depending on the slot I put it in), but I always get the same results. I don't understand why this modem would work perfectly and simply in my old computer, but not in the new one. What could be preventing it from working? Any ideas or suggestions would be great. I've googled around, read the handbook, and I just can't seem to get it going. I think if I could just get a push in the right direction, I'd be okay. I'm not subscribed to freebsd-questions, though I do watch the group through usenet.

Now I would like to track the version it was before the upgrade (ie. uname -r ), and what it is after the upgrade. Now, I can't use uname -r, because the server has to be restarted so it can pick up the new kernel etc. So my question is, where can I find a entry in the downloaded kernel/world source files that says that it is FreeBSD 4.9 p9 etc. I can't use stable-supfile, because it only records the 'branch' that is being upgraded, not the full version. Any clues?

I was reading this article: http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3202 and related articles that it links to, and thinking - why did the sticky bit go away? Unless I'm mistaken, at one time turning on the sticky bit on a binary would tell the kernel not to swap out that program when it was running (or somtehing similar ... I think it used to mean "kernel must never swap out this data") Anyway ... considering the arguments that swap algorithms can be stupid (they have to balance the need for disk cache with the need for app space) Wouldn't it make sense to put some of that power back in the hands of the admins and developers? If the sticky bit meant something again ... then admins would have control! Imagine this. The kernel has a new sysctl: use_sticky or something, that allows an admin to revert back to current behaviour. The kernel then takes the sticky bit on an executable file to mean, "do not swap this out unless there's nowhere else to get memory from". This would give the admin the ability to pick certain apps that must always respond quickly (even after long periods without use) and force them to stay in physical RAM where they could jump right to the task. Setting kern.use_sticky=0 causes the kernel to ignore the sticky bit and treat all programs the same, in case this causes problems for someone. Now, what complexity this might introduce into the kernel is beyond my complete understanding, and that complexity alone might prevent such a change. But I'm interested as to why it hasn't been done. I simply refuse to think that nobody else has thought of it. I just figure that there's a good reason somewhere why not to do it. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jun 1 07:22:05 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ABD7B16A4CE for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 07:22:05 -0700 (PDT) Received: from smtp05.web.de (smtp05.web.de [217.72.192.209]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3A71C43D1D for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 07:22:05 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from platanthera@web.de) Received: from [217.225.242.214] (helo=liza.hacienda.herti) by smtp05.web.de with asmtp (TLSv1:RC4-MD5:128) (WEB.DE 4.101 #91) id 1BVA9T-0003Ej-00 for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Tue, 01 Jun 2004 16:22:03 +0200 From: platanthera To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2004 16:22:09 +0200 User-Agent: KMail/1.6.2 References: <200406011317.18407.platanthera@web.de> In-Reply-To: <200406011317.18407.platanthera@web.de> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: <200406011622.10694.platanthera@web.de> Sender: platanthera@web.de Subject: Re: [solved] silky doesn't start -- mime.types missing X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 01 Jun 2004 14:22:05 -0000 see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=67446 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jun 1 07:23:42 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9910016A4D3 for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 07:23:42 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail816.megamailservers.com (mail816.carrierinternetsolutions.com [69.49.106.26]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3250243D5C for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 07:23:42 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from strick@covad.net) X-POP-User: strick.covad.net Received: from mist.nodomain (h-68-164-174-152.snfccasy.dynamic.covad.net [68.164.174.152])i51ENdjR009390; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 10:23:40 -0400 Received: from mist.nodomain (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mist.nodomain (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id i51ENdCE001684; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 07:23:39 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dan@mist.nodomain) Received: (from dan@localhost) by mist.nodomain (8.12.11/8.12.11/Submit) id i51ENcUG001683; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 07:23:38 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from dan) Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2004 07:23:38 -0700 (PDT) From: Dan Strick Message-Id: <200406011423.i51ENcUG001683@mist.nodomain> To: rcher@inter.net.il cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Disk geometry salad...

The data format used by an ATA disk to report its c/h/s geometry permits at most 65535 cylinders. It also reports its sector capacity and maximum addressable LBA block number in 32 bit fields. This geometry is usually somewhat artificial and may be changed by the host system. The c/h/s data format used to pass a disk sector address to a BIOS disk service routine permits at most 1024 cylinders, 255 heads and 63 sectors per track. In order to maximize the number of disk sectors that can be addressed using the BIOS interface, a BIOS often reports a disk geometry different than what the disk reports to the BIOS and uses that "BIOS" geometry when interpreting disk addresses specified in BIOS function calls. A BIOS geometry usually has 255 heads and 63 sectors per track because that produces the largest addressable disk size. >From the information you have provided I cannot be certain how the numbers you report were generated, but I can speculate. The ATA disk might report a default geometry with 16 heads and 63 sectors per track because those numbers can be used with both ATA and BIOS geometries. The ATA disk cannot report more than 65535 cylinders, but it can report the actual disk capacity in sectors. If FreeBSD were to divide the ATA disk capacity by the cylinder size (#heads * #sectors), it might conclude that the 40GB drive has 77545 cylinders. Since such a large cylinder number cannot be specified in c/h/s format, the driver must be using LBA format when issuing read/write commands. If you divide the 40 GB drive capacity by the typical BIOS cylinder size, you get 4865 cylinders. That is probably where the disk geometry "4865/255/63" comes from. Since cylinder numbers above 1023 cannot be passed to BIOS function calls, the "extended" BIOS functions which use 28 bit LBA addressing must be used to access the entire drive. The common FreeBSD bootstrap program uses the BIOS disk functions with c/h/s addressing by default and therefore cannot access more than 1024*255*63 sectors, a little under 8 GB, unless it is reconfigured with the "boot0cfg" command to use the extended BIOS disk functions. It is often hard to tell exactly what a particular BIOS and bootstrap configuration are doing. You may be able to avoid confusing bootstrap problems by keeping all disk partitions used for booting inside the first 1024*255*63 sectors. >> > 2) When installing FreeBSD, sysinstall warns that a geometry of the > first drive (1) as it detects it (77545/16/63) is incorrect and can't be > used.

What does this mean? >> Sysinstall, which probably uses BIOS geometry, apparently knows that a geometry with so many cylinders cannot be correct. It apparently guessed 255 heads and 63 sectors per track and computed the largest number of cylinders that would produce a disk capacity that did not exceed the capacity specified by the original geometry. Since you can't have a fraction of a cylinder, you often lose access to a few sectors when you convert the disk geometry. This beats getting an I/O error because you rounded the number of cylinders up instead of down. I don't know why sysinstall seems to tolerate 4865 (more than 1024) cylinders. (Note: a BIOS usually uses a geometry with 255 heads and 63 sectors per track but could choose to use a smaller number of heads or sectors. It is possible to ask the BIOS what geometry it is using, but this may not be easily done after FreeBSD boots. I suspect the sysinstall program is just guessing the BIOS geometry.) >> > 3) I tried installing FreeBSD on the second drive.

It is virgin, not been touched ... yet. 1. Should I upgrade the perl version. FBSD comes with 5.005_03. I think the latest Perl distro was 5.8. If yes, do I install directly from ports? If yes, how do I ensure the old version is being ignored. I gues what I am really asking, is what is the correct upgrade procedure? I want to be able to keep THIS (FBSD) installation 'upgradeable'. I have done some things to my other systems (FBSD 4.9 and 4.4) that I have been told would break if I upgraded the OS. 2. What are the key items to adhear to when installing FBSD and other software so that the OS remains upgradeable? In the past, I have always used suEXec with Apache. Lately, I have been considering that it may be more pain than its worth. 3. Thoughts on the above please. For mail, I am currently using Exim (4.22) along with vm-pop3d, and Spamassassin. I implimented this combination so I could have truely virtual POP3 mbox's. I find little support for vm-pop3d, and I find Exim is alot of work to impliment (Routers, Transports etc). 4. Does anyne know of a better, still secure, simple method of managing virtual pop accounts that can still handle all the details? (Majordomo, Spamassassin etc). 5. What are the latest releases of Apache, Perl PHP Mysql that seem to play nice for everyone. I have installing software only to find that one relase of one thing does not work with another release of another!

Could you consider upgrading to 4.10-RELEASE or -STABLE? Have a look at the CVS logs for the fxp driver, and at the driver source itself, and you will notice that quite a lot has changed: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c When you compare fxp_ident fxp_ident_table (where the device IDs are defined) of FreeBSD 4.8 and 4.10, you'll see that there are now entries for different revisions of 0x12298086 based cards, and there's also an entry for the chip revision that is used in your board (rev. 0x08). IMO there's a really good chance that upgrading will make your onboard NICs work properly. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c?rev=1.110.2.28&content-type=text/plain&only_with_tag=RELENG_4_8 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c?rev=1.110.2.32&content-type=text/plain&only_with_tag=RELENG_4_10 Simon --cvVnyQ+4j833TQvp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAvJLqCkn+/eutqCoRAjr1AJ9UJa5nZrILyJqojKrxdvw1UIwFFQCguPim b78Nhn1eDdLXktrHYKm+XNw= =joGf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --cvVnyQ+4j833TQvp-- From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jun 1 07:35:15 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6E5BB16A4CE for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 07:35:15 -0700 (PDT) Received: from smtp.mailbox.co.uk (smtp.mailbox.net.uk [195.82.125.32]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C953B43D54 for ; Tue, 1 Jun 2004 07:35:14 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from waynep@smtp.penguinpowered.org) Received: from core.penguinpowered.org ([212.18.250.170] helo=smtp.penguinpowered.org) by smtp.mailbox.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 4.30) id 1BVALt-0002ky-OQ; Tue, 01 Jun 2004 15:34:53 +0100 Received: from waynep by smtp.penguinpowered.org with local (Exim 4.30; FreeBSD) id 1BVAKm-000HTn-8l; Tue, 01 Jun 2004 15:33:44 +0100 Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2004 15:33:44 +0100 From: Wayne Pascoe To: Olaf Hoyer Message-ID: <20040601143344.GB67057@marvin.penguinpowered.org> References: <20040601110940.GA65805@marvin.penguinpowered.org> <20040601134914.Q53545@gaff.hhhr.ision.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="huq684BweRXVnRxX" Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20040601134914.Q53545@gaff.hhhr.ision.net> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i X-System: FreeBSD i386 with kernel 5.2.1-RELEASE-p3 Sender: Wayne Pascoe cc: Wayne Pascoe cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Intel Ethernet card not being detected X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 01 Jun 2004 14:35:15 -0000 --huq684BweRXVnRxX Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline On Tue, Jun 01, 2004 at 01:52:21PM +0200, Olaf Hoyer wrote: > Well, I could imagine some special version of a 100Pro/VM integrated > one, or some special (latest version) 82550 or so. > > Could you post a "pciconf -lv" from a FreeBSD system? > Would help to identify the parts... I've tried installing 5.2.1 on the machine and it still doesn't work. Now though, it's even worse, as the em0 device doesn't work either. I get something along these lines: em0: Link is up 10Mbps Half Duplex em0: watchdog timeout -- resetting em0: Link is up 10Mbps Half Duplex em0: watchdog timeout -- resetting I can ping the card, but nothing else. This worked fine under 4.10-RELEASE So I've had to slap an additional Intel Etherexpress pro in there to get the pciconf off of the machine. That one works, but it's an old card that I had lying around here. I'm attaching pciconf.txt which is the output of my pciconf commands as well as the dmesg from boot. Any enlightenment would be much appreciated. The motherboard is a Tyan S5102 Tomcat i875P according to my supplier Thanks a lot for the help :) -- Wayne Pascoe (gpg --keyserver www.co.uk.pgp.net --recv-keys 79A7C870) WINDOWS: Where do you want to go today?
