This is assuming that you have another FreeBSD box which works properly, and that you can copy the ld-elf.so.1 file from. The intention is that you use a different floppy than the ones you use to boot from, and swap them in and out as required. =20 > > # echo ./ld-elf.so.1 | cpio -o > /dev/fd0 >=20 > When you say "write the file direct" do you mean that my system's "/" root > directory may also be directly written to, without having to first mount = it??! Not like this: writing direct to a block device like this will destroy any filesystem already on the device.

No -- don't do that. Shlib version numbers are changed for a reason. Instead either install the misc/compat4x port or else set COMPAT4X=3Dyes in /etc/make.conf and rebuild your world. This will let you run apps compiled for 4.x on a 5.x system. =20 > I'm only running 4.9: I assume you're on 5.x if you have a higher file=20 > number? Yes -- for libc the shlib version number is the same as the major version number of the OS.

I had hopes that this would not be the case.. Anyway right know I am having too many system freezes when trying to start X.. most of the time starting X will just freeze the whole system. But that is another issue since I am using 5.2 RC2 and this is not the right place to discuss this. I use FreeBSD for server (Proxy, DNS, DHCP etc) purposes for I am used to it an knows how to tweak it for very high performance. I work the whole day with a text interface so I want something different when at home. I want it to be easy enough to setup without the need to recompile or set any special settings in for instance device.hints or loader.conf. I used to use Apple for this and later on Windows..

You setup aliases in rc.conf: ifconfig_bge0="inet 2.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_bge0_alias0="inet 2.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255" ( you need a 32bit mask on any aliases especially ones on the same subnet) then, if you do this you will see ARP complaints.

Im very use to sendmail as ive been able to compile sendmail to do rbl checks and use access.db and procmail filtering and spamassassin and it seems to work pretty good..although there does seem to be a small amount of "false positives" I suppose this is going to happen to some extent. So im looking to this mailing list to get your opinions and thoughts on this. Im more than open to the idea of useing something other than sendmail :-) -- Brent Bailey CCNA Bmyster LLC Computer Networking and Webhosting Network Engineer, Webmaster, President http://www.bmyster.com mrb@bmyster.com 207-247-8330 From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 28 06:20:22 2003 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 899B016A4CE for ; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 06:20:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from skutsje.san.webweaving.org (skutsje.san.webweaving.org [209.132.96.45]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3D6EA43D67 for ; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 06:19:57 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dirkx@webweaving.org) Received: from skutsje.san.webweaving.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) hBSEGoEJ083629 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=NO); Sun, 28 Dec 2003 06:16:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dirkx@webweaving.org) Received: from localhost (dirkx@localhost)hBSEGoBK083626; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 06:16:50 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from dirkx@webweaving.org) X-Authentication-Warning: skutsje.san.webweaving.org: dirkx owned process doing -bs Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2003 06:16:50 -0800 (PST) From: Dirk-Willem van Gulik X-X-Sender: dirkx@skutsje.san.webweaving.org To: =?iso-8859-1?q?niraj=20kumar?= In-Reply-To: <20031228132152.56172.qmail@web8310.mail.in.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <20031228061333.M54896@skutsje.san.webweaving.org> References: <20031228132152.56172.qmail@web8310.mail.in.yahoo.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ip addressing in freebsd 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, 28 Dec 2003 14:20:22 -0000 On Sun, 28 Dec 2003, niraj kumar wrote: > 1. in freebsd we can have two ip address for a single host like 2.0.0.1 > & 17.0.0.1 by using ifconfig but why can't we assign two ip like 2.0.0.1 > & 2.0.0.2 (i know that both r in same network) In your rc.conf: ifconfig_fxp0=...2.0.0.1 ifconfig_fxp0_alias0=...2.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig_fxp0_alias1=...2.0.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.255 See /etc/defaults/rc.conf for more examples. > 3 where i can find more about this (links) http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ chapters on networking and setup > 4. where is the code of the ip resolution in the kernel http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ chapters on the kernel and references for the OS internals.

There are systems that will put 160 GB (uncompressed) on a single tape ... they'll just run you $3000-3500. If, on the other hand, you think of it as a yearly full dump (split over multiple tapes) plus monthly incrementals then a DLT 8000 ($1000 ??) at 40 GB (uncompressed) will do just fine.

For Example, even though the XP slice that i have is the 3rd slice on my box(FreeBsd 5-Current, then RH9 Then WinXp) the device name for my xp slice still reads /dev/ad0s1. Though this dont seem right it works, i thought that it should read /dev/ad0s3. So to try and answer your questions. 1. Can I have another dual boot on my machine with XP (NTFS) and FreeBSD? yes u can, remember that u can mount the xp slice for "READ" not "Write". You can only read from the ntfs. "man mount" for more information. (for people who wish to correct me, there are some way to write to the ntfs, i know but as a general rule dont write to this file system type.) 2. Where can I read more about the process of instalation to keep my XP partition alive? u can read more in the handbook. if u do not tamper with your xp partition durring /stand/systinstall then the partition will not be bothered. (just remember what the device name is when you are using fips). What boot loader are u planning on using? i have tried BOOTMAGIC,FREEBSDs boot loader and also i have used grub (which is available in the ports). With grub i was not able to boot fbsd when my fbsd slice was formated with ufs2. this might have been fixed though. have fun.

In order to keep the data synchronized, you could possibly used some sort of shared scsi or fibre channel drive/array. You'd have to write a script that would run on the backup and tell it to mount the drive and startup the databases when the server was down. Shared scsi might be the easiest, but you'll have to buy some Y-terminated scsi cables so that the main machine won't reset the scsi bus on the backup machine when it (the main machine) goes down.

I installed gaim and figured out that this version of gaim didn't support m= sn. So I wanted to upgrade my ports tree, but because my laptop is 300 mh= z, I do not want to recompile my whole ports tree. I looked at freebsd-up= date but couldn't figure out how it worked. I also looked at PACKAGESITE = and PACKAGEROOT, but that only grabs the latest packages instead of updat= ing the whole ports system. (I'm missing the apt-get update/upgrade tools= :) Could somebody show me how to update the ports. Further, I want to use acpi, but it gives the following error while it trie= s to mount my drive: setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mountfailed: 6 After that I get something like this: Manual root filesystem specification: : Mount using filesystem e.g. ufs:/dev/ad0s1a=20 ? List valid diskboot devices Abort manual input mountroot> It's not possible to mount the filesytem :( If I disable acpi than my system will boot normally. So has anyone encounterd this problem, and if not, how can I get my dmesg output to put in a bug report. This is on a toshiba portege 3020ct.

I also looked at PACKAGESITE and PACKAGEROOT, but that only grabs the latest packages instead of updating the whole ports system. (I'm missing the apt-get update/upgrade tools:) Could somebody show me how to update the ports. Roland - if you're just looking for the latest version of gaim, chances are that 'pkg_add -r gaim' will do what you want. That should add the latest package from the master packages repository. Otherwise, check out the section of the handbook dealing with updating the ports tree with cvsup, and manually install gaim again. (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html) as far as you're acpi problem, there are a number of documented problems with 5.1, many will be fixed with 5.2, but i have not been following those discussions close enough to know if your machine is effected by the known issues or something new. ~j -- Jonathan T.

On further inspection, I see that login(1) is not being called, but login(3) seems to be. The shell in use shouldn't matter, because the shell itself should be run under the user's limits. > All I *do* know is that I use sshd to login regularly and the login > capabilities I set in /etc/login.conf do take effect ok.

There are some limits that aren't implemented, but if the users can change a limit, that's not what's happening here. Of course, users can always *lower* their limits, and they can raise their soft limits up to a maximum of the hard limit (that's what the distinction is for).

Yes, Im familiar with newsyslog, but Im not sure how it will play with rotating PostgreSQL's log file, as PostgreSQL seems to need some extra TLC when rotating the log while PostgreSQL is running. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/interactive/logfile-maintenance.html Ill have to let that sink in the brain, before I try messing with it.

At this point, it's generally more inexpensive to buy a secondary disk, or even a RAID setup. than to go with tape. Tape itself isn't a guaranteed medium by any means...meaning there have been times I've gone to backup from tape to then find out it was a less than full backup or data was corrupted on the tape. I won't even get into tape drive issues where you write data on one unit and a different tape drive won't read the same tapes, other than to say it happens. If you've got data that doesn't change often (ie like your pictures), and only grows, you've got a few options: 1. Set up a RAID-5 array. IMPORTANT- designate at least one hot spare! If your main use is for backup, you can go with an older SCSI solution, but if so, I _highly_ recommend using a RAID enclosure (with backplane, not a 'homemade' cabled setup- older SCSI (scsi2, UW, etc) is pretty picky about cable length, and using an external cabled enclosure can cause read or write errors and other issues (dropping a drive offline). Fiber channel or older scsi hardware RAID solutions can be had on eBay for pennies on the dollar right now.. Note that I'm talking about hardware RAID here...software RAID is slower (generally), and IMHO just not as reliable...yet. You can use the setup as a 'live data logical drive,' and if you're overly paranoid, do a scheduled tar archive (or other means of backup, but with tar you can add the incrementals to your archive) to the drives, or to an alternate drive, as well. 2. Buy a secondary IDE disk, sized at least 2x the size of your data to allow for growth. Do NOT use this drive for anything other than backup, eg mount the drive as /backup and only use it for (cronned) data dumps. You'll only be writing and reading to the drive occasionally, and as such, you should have a reasonably decent length of time the drive will work for, meaning it's likely to get replaced during upgrades years from now before the drive itself fails. Large IDE disks are getting insanely inexpensive... DLT drives in the 15gb(uncompressed) range are < $100, but as usual, become progressively more expensive as you go larger in size, woth a 40gb running ~$300-$500+. Anything larger in tape backup you're going to pay through the teeth. (100gb = min $1k on up) You can get a 100GB RAID array with enclosure/hardware RAID with a SCSI or Fiber Channel interface for ~200-$500 (10-14 drives, set 2 hot spares if you'd like), and a scsi or HBA card for ~$50. A fair number of businesses are also moving to 'disk backup' via SAN storage.... Anyways, just something else to think about- nothing against tape (ok, except they're slow and $$ by comparison).. And yes, I practice what I preach - both my live and backup filesystems are on a 14 disk fiber channel array with 15k RPM FC Seagate Cheetahs in a EuroLogic enclosure...I've got a second one that in time may become backups only with more hot spares.

The easy solution is to see if any of the log rotation scripts have the 'right' behavior...if not, you can write your own script to do it, test it by rotating the logs and then intentionally doing something to produce log output (depending on your log level)...if you get the log output, everything's happy. What it should be doing is this (and a side effect is you shouldn't run into log problems on other apps either): 1. Copy the log file locally, using whatever naming convention you want, eg logname.(massaged date/time stamp like $(date | cut -f' ')) 2. Truncate the existing log via cat /dev/null > original logfile . This allows the logging progam to continue to log without an invalid fd.. 3. gzip or move the copied logfile to wherever, gzip it etc.. This is a simple solution, and has the potential to lose a few log entries due to the time from the completion of the original log copy until the original log file truncation is completed, but should be fine for home, non critical or low usage (meaning not logging 1000 messages/minute) log files....there's probably a better way to do this, probably logging via a pipe, but I don't know the specifics offhand...

There are three main alternatives: 1) hard drives -- get another HD or two and back up all data from your main filesystem daily via cron (perhaps locally, perhaps to a second machine); very cheap but iffy reliability...more of a "hot spare" solution than a true backup solution, but reasonably effective. 2) DVD burner -- cheap, limited media capacity but you can burn 20-odd DVD's (modulo achieved compression ratio) in a sane amount of time 3) tape-- main candidates are probably sDLT (up to 320GB per tape capacity) or maybe Ultrium (LTO?)...expensive (~ $3000+), best reliability by far, and best support for incremental backups to conserve media costs -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 28 10:37:41 2003 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 00CED16A4CE for ; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 10:37:41 -0800 (PST) Received: from rwcrmhc11.comcast.net (rwcrmhc11.comcast.net [204.127.198.35]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0C7AC43D3F for ; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 10:37:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from fbsd-questions@trini0.org) Received: from hivemind.trini0.org (trini0.org[68.39.114.118]) by comcast.net (rwcrmhc11) with ESMTP id <2003122818373901300lusjfe>; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 18:37:39 +0000 Received: from gladiator.trini0.org (gladiator.trini0.org [192.168.0.3]) by hivemind.trini0.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 325B02C5; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 13:37:39 -0500 (EST) From: Gerard Samuel To: Scott W Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2003 13:37:39 -0500 User-Agent: KMail/1.5.4 References: <200312280948.15063.fbsd-questions@trini0.org> <200312281303.14444.fbsd-questions@trini0.org> <3FEF1FC2.6000701@mindcore.net> In-Reply-To: <3FEF1FC2.6000701@mindcore.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200312281337.39033.fbsd-questions@trini0.org> cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Log Rotation 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, 28 Dec 2003 18:37:41 -0000 On Sunday 28 December 2003 01:24 pm, Scott W wrote: > This is a simple solution, and has the potential to lose a few log > entries due to the time from the completion of the original log copy > until the original log file truncation is completed, but should be fine > for home, non critical or low usage (meaning not logging 1000 > messages/minute) log files....there's probably a better way to do this, > probably logging via a pipe, but I don't know the specifics offhand... > Seems ok to me, as its for a home setup.

Another possibility (although somewhat of a hack) is to stop the program, rotate the log and then start the program up again. Perhaps not for a 24x7 environment but it does work.

I have had a dedicated file server on my home network for years. It serves out files to clients on the network via SMB and HTTP. This machine stores all of my permanent (and not so permanent) data and has two large identical disks. Only the first is used. The other is used strictly to back up the information on the first. A cron job runs a script at 7AM every morning which powers up the backup disk, mounts it, performs an incremental backup and then powers down the backup disk again until the next morning. The moral: Buy double the amount of disk space that you think you'll need or settle for half of what you can afford. Then force yourself to use one half only to back up the other half. Disk-to-disk backup is probably the best way to go for the home user. It's cheap and it's easy, but it won't break the bank. Reliability is probably significantly less than a $3k tape solution, but careful monitoring of the system and quick response to potential problems can mitigate this to a large degree. Pretty soon I plan to move the backup disk to a separate machine on the network that gets powered up each day by some kind of external timer. The machine will power up, contact the file server, do an incremental backup, then shut itself off. This would put me just one step short of a complete daily off-site backup, all with hardware that is considered by most to be obsolete.

So why not use a cheap IDE RAID controller and do RAID1 ? I think it would be much safer, and reduce the amount of time needed to restore the system once a hard drive fails. We use RAID1 with a spare drive on our web and email servers here, and there's no downtime each time a drive fails, having put all the drives on hot-swap bays on a promise fasttrack controller.

I also couldnt get it to make the system bootable using the install cd. I got around it by using the live filesystem cd. I dont know how that they are different but it seemed to write out the changes when I asked not like as in the install disk.

One disk goes down, simply mount the good one and press on. What it doesn't give you, however, is a proper backup solution. Backups protect not only against disk failures but also mitigate the following: * Accidental or hasty deletions * Security compromise * Catastrophic overall system failure (such as a power surge that takes out everything connected to the motherboard). This, of course, depends on the backups being isolated from the system, which mine currently are not. RAID will not help you in any of these situations. My incremental backup solution allows me to retrieve an exact copy of the contents of the file server as it looked at any point in time, from when the very first backup was made (about two years ago) to the present. This has saved me more times than I care to remember.

Could you elaborate a little? Looked at man page for newfs and it says it just gives info of newfs without doing operation. How will that be used? I am not familiar with the tools to manage disks.

I have Windows XP Home (preinstalled when purchased) on one side and FreeBSD 4.9 on the other. I used Partition Magic to shrink my live XP file system and I use the Boot Magic (comes with PM if you buy retail) and everything works great. I have tried GRUB, but I never could get it working right, but I didn't try very hard. I used the FreeBSD boot manager for about 5 years and it worked OK, no matter how I had hard disks and partitions and OSes configured. I only went to Boot Magic because I have ignorant people that need to use my computer sometimes and the ?? prompt for an OS with ntfs was too confusing. Oh well.

Well I guess the good news is that the HD is probably ok then. :-) In FAT I seem to recall there are two copies of the boot sector. Does FreeBSD has anything like that? If what I did trashed the first sectors would that have affected all mount points?

Certainly there are duplicate copies of the FAT allocation tables, but these are next to one another on the disk so don't really protect against this sort of calamity. I guess the nearest thing in FreeBSD is mutiple copies of the=20 superblocks within the file system, but unless you can reconstruct=20 the slice table(partition in MS terms) I don't believe it will help. > If what I did trashed the first sectors would that have affected > all mount points? How big was the image you copied to the disk? -- that should tell you how much of your drive is overwritten. It is probable your disklabel has also disappeared, so you=20 probably need to reconstruct both the slice table in the MBR and=20 the disklabel in the first slice. With some vague recollections of=20 what you did originally to install FBSD it is possible that some=20 lucky guesses might work. If you can find the first sector of a slice carrying an installed file system then this might hold a copy of the slice table allowing reconstruction of the original MBR with some confidence.=20 Malcolm Kay From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 28 20:27:47 2003 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 C641516A4CF for ; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 20:27:47 -0800 (PST) Received: from freep.dyns.net (adsl-64-170-112-11.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net [64.170.112.11]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id A7D2943D1D for ; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 20:27:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from micheas@micheas.dyns.net) Received: (qmail 91047 invoked from network); 29 Dec 2003 04:27:37 -0000 Received: from tux.a (HELO tux) (mail@10.0.0.173) by sol.a with SMTP; 29 Dec 2003 04:27:37 -0000 Received: from micheas by tux with local (Exim 3.36 #1 (Debian)) id 1Aap0D-0000T1-00 for ; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 20:27:37 -0800 From: Micheas Herman To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Organization: Free Print Shop Message-Id: <1072672057.1411.22.camel@tux> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.4.5 Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2003 20:27:37 -0800 Sender: Micheas Herman Subject: Booting from vinum RAID 1: How should I edit my disk label?

The main site's here: http://www.amanda.org/ and Curtis Preston put part of his O'Reilly book online: http://www.backupcentral.com/amanda.html But... Amanda would not be a great choice because it's really a backup system and you'd end up having to write scripts to restore from dump files created by Amanda to the backup server filesystem. If you're going to that trouble, it would be easier to use rsync. Again, I think shared scsi or fibre channel would be the way to go. I'm not sure how well FreeBSD supports shared scsi/fibre channel drive sharing ( I know it supports some fibre channel adapters), however. If it does work well, you could have a central RAID array running RAID 10 and have the master DB server run with the drive mounted. If the master had problems, the backup/secondary could take over. You would have one set of data to contend with, and consequently, synchronization would not be an issue. My only concern would be filesystem writes and soft depends in general.

It's an excellent command-line shell, but scripts are not its strong point. One reason is the one you've just run into - quoting is a little flakey, especially when you try to do something tricky. For 'basic' scripts, either sh(1) or ksh(1) is usually the way to go. As an example, here's your line-checking question, using sh and FreeBSD commands: cat somefile | while read LINE ; do if echo "$LINE" | grep -q '^#' ; then # do something with $LINE fi done For more complex work, perl or python are usually recommended. On the other hand, if you just want to filter the comments out of a file, put grep -v '^#' at the start of your pipeline. * Csh Programming Considered Harmful (1996) http://www.perl.com/pub/a/language/versus/csh.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniela" Subject: Complex quoting task in tcsh > I'm writing a tcsh script and I can't figure out how to escape that #. > I tried all possible variations, and it always says I have a syntax error. > Here's one: > if ($line =~ "#*") > Or is there another way to find out if the line starts with a hash mark? > > Regards, > Daniela > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Dec 28 21:14:31 2003 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 1841616A4CE for ; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 21:14:31 -0800 (PST) Received: from hotmail.com (bay8-f60.bay8.hotmail.com [64.4.27.60]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3C1F743D1F for ; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 21:14:28 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from shoman89@hotmail.com) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Sun, 28 Dec 2003 21:14:28 -0800 Received: from 216.68.209.134 by by8fd.bay8.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 05:14:27 GMT X-Originating-IP: [216.68.209.134] X-Originating-Email: [shoman89@hotmail.com] X-Sender: shoman89@hotmail.com From: "Jeff Painter" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 00:14:27 -0500 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 29 Dec 2003 05:14:28.0113 (UTC) FILETIME=[A1FA5010:01C3CDCA] Subject: Port 25 outbound fails 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, 29 Dec 2003 05:14:31 -0000 I am stumped. I am trying to test smtp port 25 on a remote system using BigBrother. I am unable to get my 2 freebsd system to connect to this or any other system on port 25. I can connect from a windows system on my same private network. I can connect to both freebsd systems running sendmail on port 25 by telnet from windows. I have tried connecting between the 2 freebsd systems with telnet on port 25 and it is refused. I can connect to all systems I have tried from windows on port 25, so I know it should work. I have tried sending email using sendmail and that fails also. Is there something broken in freebsd that would cause all port 25 traffic to fail going out of the systems? I have a dsl modem and a wireless router that my 2 freebsd systems and my windows system are directly plugged into.

When I reboot the system it goes right into the program and pauses at = the six options screen, where I would normally type in the correct digit = to continue the boot process. All hell breaks loose right at the login prompt. Moreover, when I go = into the program to change the settings, it says that the item has not = be initialized, i.e., it will not allow any changes to the password, = etc. I have never, ever, spent as much time as this with an install.

A copy of the output from dmesg (then again, if you can't login, I guess you can't do that either). Anyways - when you are promted for the root password on install, please make certain that your caps key isnt on etc. Unix IS case sensitive.

That depends on what you're trying to do. I suspect that the entire disk label is bogus. Take a look at http://www.vinumvm.org/cfbsd/vinum.pdf and see if that makes any more sense.

I've noticed the same thing. A cursory check with "trafshow" indicates that I simply don't have enough bandwith for the large version, which requires more than the 1.5Mbit my DSL connection will handle.

How? Other than not playing around with dd how can one safeguard from something like this in the future? Is there a way to backup the disklable and slice info? After all this is cleared I am also going to check what is the best way to keep a working copy of my entire system.

Replying to my own post. Do I need to change partitions "a:" (currently part of volume tmp) and "d:" (currently part of volume root) Also with this configuration do I need to shrink the size of any of my partitions. (I am unclear as to if I have 8k at the beginning of the drive) I can delete my current d: partition and make it smaller if that is needed. I just don't grok this yet :-( thanks again for any help.

It should be of type Vinum. It also looks very short. It's 138M of a 120G hard drive, which is probably about 60M more than I'll use.

Only fire, earthquake and a neutronbomb would affect such a backup solution. However, I could use a push in the right direction when it comes to how to configure and what software to use for achieving the incremental backup tasks. Could you hint me in how your system is doing this in a more detailed way?

Hmmmm... This is pretty drastic. The boot loader is failing to read the kernel from the disk. This part of the boot process really precedes anything that could be fixed using fsck(8), contrary to what others have said. It's not bad advice, just that there are some more basic things to fix first. There are two possibilities I can think of: i) Your hard drive has bitten the dust. There's nothing you can do to fix the drive. The disklabel seems to be right on a bad spot of the disk and unless the disk has sufficient spare blocks you can't remap that location. In any case you'ld have to have a record of the previous disklabel so that you could recreate it. ii) You've been fiddling with the disk addressing mode in the BIOS and somehow left it in a different mode to what it was before. In this case, you should be able to try the various modes one by one until you get back to the one that works.

This is it eh - there are some limits that can't be set - I remember having to use 'idled' from the ports to monitor the idle times of users and if they get to 1hr of idle time, auto-log them out as it were via idled (the login.conf setting to do this didn't work!!!). There are a few others but I forget what they are now (password expiry perhaps is one?). :P -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ http://jez.hancock-family.com/ - personal weblog http://ipfwstats.sf.net/ - ipfw peruser traffic logging From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Dec 29 01:56:09 2003 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 44EC916A4E2 for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 01:56:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from smtp.infracaninophile.co.uk (happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk [81.2.69.218]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0F88A43D39 for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 01:56:07 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from m.seaman@infracaninophile.co.uk) Received: from happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk (localhost [127.0.0.1]) hBT9tpwd008771 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=NO); Mon, 29 Dec 2003 09:55:51 GMT (envelope-from matthew@happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk) Received: (from matthew@localhost)id hBT9tppC008770; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 09:55:51 GMT (envelope-from matthew) Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 09:55:51 +0000 From: Matthew Seaman To: Joachim Dagerot Message-ID: <20031229095551.GE8047@happy-idiot-talk.infracaninophile.co.uk> Mail-Followup-To: Matthew Seaman , Joachim Dagerot , "C.

I've heard that clamd(?) is supposed to be good for virus scanning on the OSS side or sophos for a paid solution, although how these scale for ISP performance I don't know. You already mentioned spamassassin which I think is fairly standard, but again I don't know how it would scale for large numbers of users. Also you'd have to consider your privacy policy and whether you want to completely drop all mail very likely to be spam or whether you just want to rewrite the 'subject:' header to indicate that the mail might be spam. As an ISP user I'm not sure I'd like my ISP to just delete emails automaticaly on my behalf (even though as a mail server admin I do know that dropping mails that have an SA score of over say 30 are very very unlikely to contain spam). Again this is something to think about in your privacy policy I suppose. -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ http://jez.hancock-family.com/ - personal weblog http://ipfwstats.sf.net/ - ipfw peruser traffic logging From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Dec 29 02:02:45 2003 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 CBA9C16A4CE for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 02:02:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from munk.nu (mail.munk.nu [213.152.51.194]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 699AF43D5C for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 02:02:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from munk@munk.nu) Received: from munk by munk.nu with local (Exim 4.24; FreeBSD) id 1AauES-0006dw-2v for freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 10:02:40 +0000 Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 10:02:40 +0000 From: Jez Hancock To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20031229100240.GC25036@users.munk.nu> Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org References: <20031228214627.GA27414@bellsouth.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20031228214627.GA27414@bellsouth.net> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i Subject: Re: Mutt + E-Mail count 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, 29 Dec 2003 10:02:45 -0000 On Sun, Dec 28, 2003 at 03:46:27PM -0600, Bryan Cassidy wrote: > Is there anyway when viewing your folders inside of Mutt to view the > amount of e-mails instead of the size of the total e-mails?

With drive warranties down to one year I have minimal confidence in my new drives. In theory it should also increase performance of reading from the swap file so performance will depend on what type of use your swap partition gets. It may be a wash, slow your system down noticeably, or speed your system up noticeably. If you really care you need to benchmark it under the loads that you will put your computer under.

If you were using the slice partition=20 for BSD (not necessarily slice slice 1; but) the first one physically aft= er=20 the MBR then then it is likely you have overwritten the disklabel and a=20 substantial part of the 'a' or root partition whether 4Mb is the=20 compressed or expanded size.

If both the latter questions are answered in the affirmative then you=20 might go back to installation and try to create the same slices, partitio= ns and mount points. It looks as though the root partition has been=20 destroyed but you might hope that the rest are intact. Make sure that=20 you mark the 'a' partition for a new file system and all others as alread= y=20 existing. The partitions are marked 'Y' or 'N' in the installation menu but I can't remember which is which -- read the help explanation. Proceed with a minimum installation and you should (with luck) retain anything you have added to the non-root partitions. After booting into the recreated system you'll need to recreate users with their original UIDs.

Only issue instructions as 'root' when you are fully awake and thinking c= learly about what you are doing and then double chheck evry command before=20 hitting .

In my opinion dump and restore are the best backup and recovery mechanism= s=20 for BSD. But to duplicate, in its entirety, the original setup you need t= o also save fdisk and disklabel information.

But your post is poorly written when it comes to describing your problem. It almost sounds like you have never used an Unix like operating system before. For your info, during the install process you are asked to enter the password to be used for the root account. 'root' is the master/god like powered account used to configure the operating system. That's the account you should be using to gain access to you newly installed system the first time. When the system finishes booting there is the login prompt, you should respond with the word root and for the password try purdue112 or whatever password you entered during the install. Why don't you repost and this time explain to the readers how you got this GIVEN LOGIN: koolfd PASSWORD: fdwill4u2 SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PWD: purdue112 It would go along way to understanding just how much of an newbe you are.

D. Williams Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 1:10 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: login ID and Password Problems Hello: For six and nights almost non-stop, I've loaded and unloaded (formatted the HDD) due to some bug (s) of sorts in this program. Even through the Christmas holidays I've been busy with FreeBSD v5.1 and at the current moment this problem still persists. This login/password business really sucks. More than 80 hours at this installation has produced nothing but a headache. The current prompt reading at the console shows the characteristics: Dec 28 23:51:41 K7502000PRO.cfl.rr.com login: 5 LOGIN FAILURES ON ttyv0 GIVEN LOGIN: koolfd PASSWORD: fdwill4u2 SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PWD: purdue112 After all this time spent at this installation, I am beginning to have second thoughts about this software. When I reboot the system it goes right into the program and pauses at the six options screen, where I would normally type in the correct digit to continue the boot process. All hell breaks loose right at the login prompt. Moreover, when I go into the program to change the settings, it says that the item has not be initialized, i.e., it will not allow any changes to the password, etc. I have never, ever, spent as much time as this with an install. What's up? I made a purchase at CompUSA a fews days ago and saw a copy of this program on the shelf..$59.95. Why should it buy this product off the shelf, only to be confronted with the current (login) problem? If you have a solution to this login problem, I will continue the process of getting it to work. However, the clock on the wall says time is running out. Furthermore, I really don't know what the program looks like. Until it is configured correctly and booting, I have the faintest idea what it looks like. Originally, I thought the real problem was with the four HDDs attached to the system. With that many drives attached, it posed a problem for me because I could hardly identify the correct one for the install. With your disk id scheme, I decided to unplug three of the drives and use a single one, which proved to be less confusing. As a new user of this system, it has been a tremendous undertaking working with this program. Everything is new and different, as opposed to MS-DOS/Windows. Nevertheless, as a new comer, I find the program very interesting. I would appreciate any suggestions in resolving this login/password problem Thanks in advance Regards, Flem D.

I will work on a dump/restore mechanism. I will do that weekly. Have a database running which may not backup well. On weekends I can shutdown everything for the dump process. I plan to dump to a file in the second HD if that is possible. I also just bought a DVD burner to backup to it essential data to take offsite besides the copy on the second HD. Thanks for the advice. If I had only had a backup of the disk info this whole experience would have been less problematic.

I found a port in /usr/ports, but when i run it, it ask me to go to apple web site to download freebsd version of DSS. However freeBSD version of DSS is not there. I've downloaded the source, but I want to learn how I could make it work with freeBSD 5.1. I rather not mess up my system, so I would like to know what changes I need to make to make DSS work. please contact me off the list if you can. the volume of traffic is massive, i rarely reads the digest.

If your partitions are too large for any backup system you can use, then make a scheme for breaking the data in to more manageable sized partitions - use more partitions and even more slices and disk devices if needed. Those huge raid partitions are nice for some things, but have their drawbacks. You can get backup devices - LTO and high end DLT that hold up to 160 or more uncompressed, so that is a good single sized partition. They are expensive, but not compared to losing your data. Also, you are supposed to be able to use more than one tape in a backup. I don't know how well that works in FreeBSD dump/restore. I don't have a big enough disk under FreeBSD to make it go to more than one tape yet. But, I have successfully dumped partitions that needed up to 10 DAT tapes before on other UNIX systems. ////jerry > So basically, > From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Dec 29 07:24:39 2003 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 1465116A4CF for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 07:24:39 -0800 (PST) Received: from be-well.no-ip.com (lowellg.ne.client2.attbi.com [66.30.200.37]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D591F43D46 for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 07:24:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from freebsd-questions-local@be-well.ilk.org) Received: by be-well.no-ip.com (Postfix, from userid 1147) id 6C24A3A; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 10:24:37 -0500 (EST) Sender: lowell@be-well.ilk.org To: paul beard References: <64D0D128-3988-11D8-98AE-000A95BBCCF8@mac.com> From: Lowell Gilbert Date: 29 Dec 2003 10:24:37 -0500 In-Reply-To: <64D0D128-3988-11D8-98AE-000A95BBCCF8@mac.com> Message-ID: <44fzf33ave.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> Lines: 5 User-Agent: Gnus/5.09 (Gnus v5.9.0) Emacs/21.3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii cc: FreeBSD-questions Subject: Re: kern.maxfiles questions 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, 29 Dec 2003 15:24:39 -0000 paul beard writes: > Is there some way to find out what's tying up the file descriptors? fstat(1) From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Dec 29 07:28:31 2003 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 24F4E16A4CE for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 07:28:31 -0800 (PST) Received: from email03.aon.at (WARSL402PIP6.highway.telekom.at [195.3.96.93]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 6A27643D46 for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 07:28:24 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from m.hollmann@aon.at) Received: (qmail 73622 invoked from network); 29 Dec 2003 15:28:23 -0000 Received: from n471p029.adsl.highway.telekom.at (HELO aon.at) ([62.47.2.221]) (envelope-sender ) by qmail3rs.highway.telekom.at (qmail-ldap-1.03) with SMTP for ; 29 Dec 2003 15:28:23 -0000 Message-ID: <3FF04811.6080703@aon.at> Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 16:28:17 +0100 From: Michael Hollmann User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030525 Thunderbird/0.1a X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: questions@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Subject: troubles with my nvidia card after update 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, 29 Dec 2003 15:28:31 -0000 my problem is (after upgrade kernel from 4.8.RC1 to 4.9.RELEASE): can´t shutdown my kde 3.1.xx: (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to destroy the primary surface i have allready insatlled and reinstalled the newest NVIDIA-Driver for FreeBSD. my graficcard is MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 64MB. i know, that´s not the best choice for freebsd but i needed it for windows. please, could anybody help me? thanks, michael From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Dec 29 07:28:37 2003 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 4EC8D16A4CE for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 07:28:37 -0800 (PST) Received: from be-well.no-ip.com (lowellg.ne.client2.attbi.com [66.30.200.37]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 68C4543D41 for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 07:28:32 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from freebsd-questions-local@be-well.ilk.org) Received: by be-well.no-ip.com (Postfix, from userid 1147) id 15AE13A; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 10:28:32 -0500 (EST) Sender: lowell@be-well.ilk.org To: Kai Vermehr References: From: Lowell Gilbert Date: 29 Dec 2003 10:28:31 -0500 In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <44brpr3aow.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> Lines: 12 User-Agent: Gnus/5.09 (Gnus v5.9.0) Emacs/21.3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii cc: FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: halt while booting: recovering vi editor sessions /kv 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, 29 Dec 2003 15:28:37 -0000 Kai Vermehr writes: > While booting I get the message "recovering vi editor sessions" and > the booting process is halted for a couple of minutes.

If you have dumps of all partitions then the slicing and partitioning siz= es are not too important so long as thay are big enough. Just use say 'fdisk -BI ad2' to set it up with one slice for BSD. Then use disklabel on ad2s1 first to obtain a skeleton file then fill in the partitions and sizes you want and write it back with # disklabel -R -B ad2s1 prototypelabel Now create file systems in the partitions to be mounted (newfs). You should now be able to restore your backups to each partition in turn.

I've installed the port and created the cvsd user and group, with the home directory of /home/cvsd. The command i used was: pw useradd cvsd -c "Cvs Server Daemon" -u 1015 -s /sbin/nologin -m -h - I then manually removed the dot files from that directory as this user won't be logging in. I then copied cvsd.conf.sample to cvsd.conf and edited it. I changed RootJail to /home/cvsd the Uid and Gid fields to cvsd, and uncommented the listen line. When i went to run cvsd-buildroot /home/cvsd I got errors about not being able to find libraries, below is the output from the command. It says that the build was successful, but i'm a little worried about it not being able to make the /dev devices and the fact that it couldn't find libraries, and manually atempting to run the binary placed in the location yielded no output. creating directory structure under /home/cvsd... done. installing binaries... cvs. locating libnsl.so... not found (probably not fatal) locating libnss_compat.so... not found (probably not fatal) locating ld-elf.so... /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 locating libnss_compat.so.2... not found (probably not fatal) locating libnss_files.so.2... not found (probably not fatal) locating /usr/libexec/ld.so... not found (probably not fatal) locating /usr/lib/ld.so.1... not found (probably not fatal) locating nss_files.so.1... not found (probably not fatal) installing libraries...ldd: /home/cvsd/bin/cvs: Permission denied /home/cvsd/bin/cvs: exit status 1 ld-elf.so.1. creating /home/cvsd/dev devices...

First, it's actually a Linux system, though there's nothing particularly Linux-specific about it except the device names and the method of spinning down the backup disk after the job. The cornerstone of the solution is the rdiff-backup program (http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/ or in ports at /sysutils/rdiff-backup). rdiff-backup is a python script that mirrors one directory to another. It can do incremental backups and it can do them either locally or remotely. It's really a slick piece of software and I'm continually surprised that it doesn't get more publicity. First, there's the (trivial) script /usr/local/sbin/backup-share.sh. This is run by a daily cron job to backup directories on the disk that contain Important Data. Mine is very specific to my system. It is *not* pretty and I plan to overhaul it sometime soon to include error handling and an external config file. #!/bin/bash # script to automatically back up the important stuff on /nfs/share prog=/usr/local/bin/rdiff-backup src=/nfs/share dst=/backup/share budirs="code emu images media music school software text webpage" mount /backup for dir in $budirs do $prog $src/$dir $dst/$dir done umount /backup # put backup drive in sleep mode since we won't be needing # it again for the next 24 hours or so hdparm -qY /dev/hdd A note about the last line: it appears that FreeBSD can only spin-down SCSI disks on command. (See camcontrol(8).) The best way to power down IDE disks seems to be just setting a suspend timeout in the power management section of your BIOS. Once the disk is unmounted, FreeBSD won't touch it thereafter and the system should put it in suspend mode automatically. The crontab entry looks like this: # backup selected dirs in /nfs/share @ 0730 daily 30 07 * * * sh /usr/local/sbin/backup-share.sh That's really about it. Like I said before, moving the backup disk to a separate machine would be trivial. If there are any questions, I'd be glad to answer them.

However, through very slow reboots from the floppy set, I have noticed while the kernel is booting this message: atkbd0 attach returned 6 I am not a programmer, but that sounds bad.

I have tried disabling ACPI support in the boot sequence per the install doc. When the first color installer screen comes up requesting modules from a driver floppy, I am unable to respond because the keyboard does not respond. I tried an OpenBSD boot disk, which worked, so I mounted a floppy and redirected the OpenBSD dmesg to a file: _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Dec 29 09:31:38 2003 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 88D7D16A4CE for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 09:31:38 -0800 (PST) Received: from tomts36-srv.bellnexxia.net (tomts36-srv.bellnexxia.net [209.226.175.93]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0BD5E43D41 for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 09:31:37 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from cw.fournier@sympatico.ca) Received: from jasperc14zzn69 ([64.230.12.151]) by tomts36-srv.bellnexxia.netSMTP <20031229173136.UNCB11804.tomts36-srv.bellnexxia.net@jasperc14zzn69> for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 12:31:36 -0500 Message-ID: <001c01c3ce31$9ead9040$6401a8c0@jasperc14zzn69> From: "Claude Fournier" To: Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 12:31:40 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1165 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.1 Subject: Installation failure with version 4.9 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, 29 Dec 2003 17:31:38 -0000 After many attempts, I am giving up.

I have a few public IPs available, and would like to create= jails to house the websites. I tested this by creating a jail, putting it= on one of the extra IP addresses, and running apache from within the= jail... works fine. Right now, to backup a website (currently on the host server) I copy the= important things to a temp directory, including (and most importantly) the= htdocs directory, create an iso, then burn to a CDRW. But what about when the site is within a jail? I notice I can get to= /path/to/jail/path/to/htdocs, so can I similarly just copy the appropriate= files/directories for backup purposes? Or is there something magical about= being "inside" the jail that makes this difficult or improper?

Try to cd to /usr/ports/archivers/rpm and type 'make install'. That should do the trick. (Although the ported version of RPM is not of the 4.x branch). Could you possibly send a longer description of the problem? ("not able to ./configure") is not a very clear description... Gilad.

Or is there something magical about being >"inside" the jail that makes this difficult or improper? Hopefully others with some actual jail experience will reply, but in the mean time.. My understanding of a jail is basically a way to limit access to certain directories and processes. If you have a user which can see inside the jail I think that should be fine for backup purposes.

I used mrtg to graph the increase in file descriptor usage and it made nice straight line, not a curve. That looked suspicious. I also set up a simple while loop in my shell to keep an eye on this. (while [ 1 ] ; do sysctl kern.maxfiles; sleep 60; done ). When that stopped updating at about 6600 files (the max is set at 16384), I rebooted (console was dead). In the process of looking at this, I had noticed that there were a few nmbd (samba) processes in the process table: I expect to see one or two, but not 10 or more. I watched this after rebooting, and sure enough, new processes were spawning ever couple of minutes, and this with no logins to the samba shares. What struck me as odd about this is that the abuse of the file table was being blamed on the wrong UID (80): nmbd doesn't run as the www user, so even if I had been more clueful about fstat, there's a good chance I would have been looking in the wrong places. I killed the samba processes, deinstalled samba, refreshed from cvs and, noting that the version was the same (2.2.8a), I reinstalled with portinstall -P. That seemed to do it. Now openfiles are sitting in the low 200s . . . .

I found a port in /usr/ports, but when i run it, it ask me to go to apple web site to download freebsd version of DSS. However freeBSD version of DSS is not there. I've downloaded the source, but I want to learn how I could make it work with freeBSD 5.1. I rather not mess up my system, so I would like to know what changes I need to make to make DSS work.------ ------ It looks like the port is out of date. The Apple website has version 5 of the code but the FreeBSD port is stil pointing to 4.1. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

Remember that when the reminder for the FreeBSD Diary first started getting posted, each message included a list of the new topics since the previous message.

Or is there something magical about bein= g "inside" the jail that makes this difficult or improper? Your base environment will be able to access the contents of all of your jails no problem. Shouldn't be any problems making backups. The only possible problem I can think of that you might run into is if you have UIDs in the jail(8) that don't exist in the base system, but you'ld have to choose a pretty incompetent backup system if it couldn't cope with that.

Given a host address in its dotted-quad form, reverse the octets and check for the existence of an ``A RR'' at that node under the blackholes.mail-abuse.org node. So if you get an SMTP session from [192.5.5.1] you would check for the existence of: 1.5.5.192.blackholes.mail-abuse.org. IN A 127.0.0.2 We chose to use an ``A RR'' because that's what Sendmail makes easy to do. The choice of [127.0.0.2] as the target address was arbitary but will not change. As it happens, we supply a bogus MAPS RBLSM entry for [127.0.0.2] so that mail transport developers have something to test against. If an ``A RR'' is found by this mechanism, then there will also be a ``TXT RR'' at the same DNS node. The text of this record will be suitable for use as a reason text for a bounced mail notification. Currently the text is constant and currently there is no way to use it from Sendmail, but there it is anyway." Perhaps you have a mail filter installed, which queries one of those RBLs, and then tries to do a reverse DNS lookup for 127.0.0.2? > I've grepped all through /etc/, and have found no references to > 127.0.0.2, and I certainly don't remember configuring anything (ever) > with that particular address. > > What could be the cause of this mysterious bind behavior?

I hope that this reporting of the "final" events (oh-god-pleaselet-this-be-done-and-over-with) helps someone else some day. The offer that I make at the end of my message is genuine. If a FreeBSD expert (Greg? *nudge*) wants the /boot files, they can have them. Jaime ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 15:05:07 -0500 (EST) From: jaime@snowmoon.com To: T Kellers Subject: Re: compiled kernel file After lots of various ideas, including kernels compiled on different boxes (e.g. the one that you sent) nothing seemed to work. Then, I noticed that not everything in / was being listed when I typed "ls" at the boot manager. This is when I started getting creative. I used sysinstall's disk slice editor to put a new MBR onto the drive and removed /boot. The next attempt to boot refused to mount any of my SCSI drives and it showed a few files in / that were different than they should be. For example, /proc was missing, /homes (an older attempt to make home directories exist on /homes/students and /homes/staff left this directory behind) was back -- even though I thought that I removed it -- and /home was gone, and the most recent etc-*.tar.gz backup of /etc (which I made before the 12/23/03 cvsup) was missing. It was as if I suddenly took a trip backwards in time for this partition by at least a few months. My best guess is that someone had hidden the real / partition and put their own partition (or disk image?) in its place, using a compromised boot loader. This would explain why using "ls" at the boot loader produced a different list of files than "ls" at the single-user shell showed. It also explains why new kernels wouldn't load, making uname give "bad" results on a "new" kernel. It was reporting data about the kernel that the cracker had given it! I again removed /boot, /usr/src, and /usr/obj, just in case these were violated, too. I did a new cvsup, make buildworld, make buildkernel, make installkernel, and rebooted into single user mode. The / partition was the way I had left it, not the way it was when the symptoms were noticed. So I kept going and did a make installworld and a mergemaster and then rebooted again. Everything seems to be working well now. uname now says: zeus:jkikpole>uname -a FreeBSD zeus.cairodurham.org 4.9-STABLE FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #0: Mon Dec 29 13:46:57 EST 2003 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ZEUS i386 I have changed my root password a few weeks ago. I just removed the toor password (in vipw, I replaced the cypher with a "*"). My next step is to change the password of any account in the wheel group. I honestly think that someone had broken into this box and made some really creative cracks. I'm not sure about back doors at this point. Using chkrootkit doesn't show anything out of place. (An occasional "possible" LKM trojan report, but its not consistent and various people claim that apache can cause false positives on that test.) If ANY of the above rings some bells for you, please let me know. Any advice on securing this box would be appreciated, too. Unfortunately, formatting the drive and reinstalling the OS is not an option at this time. :( Feel free to pass this report along to FreeBSD report along to any FreeBSD power-user that can make the OS better by reading this. I'd be happy to provide assorted files off the system (including any of the "/boot"s that I still have) if they will help.

So obviously, I would need some sort of client app on my local machine to "connect" to the two remote BSD machines and backup the files I need locally. With rsync, it appears that my machine would need to run the server software, and the two servers would run clients. That just wouldn't work. Anyone have any ideas? tar plus maybe wget?

Yes, FreeBSD can burn DVD-R's. Please see /usr/ports/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools. This port should work fine with an ATAPI burner such as your unit, but you may need to rebuild the kernel with: device atapicam The command used is called "growisofs" and invokes "mkisofs" as needed as a dependency. The manpage includes the following examples: " To master and burn an ISO9660 volume with Joliet and Rock-Ridge exten- sions on a DVD: growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /some/files To append more data to same DVD: growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /more/files Make sure to use the same options for both inital burning and following sessions. To use growisofs to write a pre-mastered ISO-image to a DVD: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso where image.iso represents an arbitrary object in the filesystem, such as file, named pipe or device entry. Nothing is growing here and com- mand name is not intuitive in this context." -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Dec 29 12:48:29 2003 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 185F916A4CE for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 12:48:29 -0800 (PST) Received: from smtpout.mac.com (smtpout.mac.com [17.250.248.84]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 19F9F43D58 for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 12:48:28 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from cswiger@mac.com) Received: from mac.com (smtpin08-en2 [10.13.10.153]) by smtpout.mac.com (8.12.6/MantshX 2.0) with ESMTP id hBTKmROJ024317; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 12:48:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from [10.1.1.193] (nfw2.codefab.com [66.234.138.66]) (authenticated bits=0) by mac.com (Xserve/smtpin08/MantshX 3.0) with ESMTP id hBTKmQ8v020965; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 12:48:26 -0800 (PST) In-Reply-To: <1072729279.2112.7.camel@prick> References: <20031226173013.96397.qmail@web60301.mail.yahoo.com> <200312281103.36613.mlists@northglobe.com> <1477.24.225.162.3.1072643177.squirrel@mail.webaries.com> <200312290001.20709.mlists@northglobe.com> <1072729279.2112.7.camel@prick> Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v609) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Message-Id: <593F8272-3A40-11D8-9B18-003065ABFD92@mac.com> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Charles Swiger Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 15:48:25 -0500 To: Matthew Juszczak X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.609) cc: "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.

It is running OK. Retried FreeBSD and same messages: (1) Unable to swap to /dev/ad0s1b invalid argument (device not configure) (2) Unable to make new root file system on /dev/ad0s1a (3) Couldn't make filesystems properly In the BIOS the hard disk is configured as having 13328 cylinders x 15 heads x 63 sectors as per specifications from Western Digital. I tried using these parameters. Did not work. After installing REDHAT, the parameters used were 784 cylinders x 255 heads x 63 sectors. I left those settings to re-install FreeBSD, did not work. The partition looks like this OFFSET**SIZE(ST)*END*****NAME*PTYPE*DESC*SUBTYPE*FLAGS* 0********63*******62********-******6***UNUSED**0********-**** 63*****12594897*12594959**ad0s1****3***FREEBSD*165******CA=* It appear that the installation is not capable of formatting the hard disk properly...

Please see /usr/ports/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools. I've taken a look at this port. Unfortunately, it's REALLY hard to figure out the documentation (which consists of a few Web pages written in very contorted -- almost unreadable -- English). From what I can tell, though, this software is really meant to work with DVD+R, which records a little more than half as fast as DVD-R. I need the speed, and so need to make sure it really works with DVD-R. Also, it looks as if this port runs on top of another utility called "cdrecord", which itself runs on top of an ATAPI-to-SCSI shim. I'm worried that this ziggurat of utilities will not be anywhere near as reliable as a simple utility that goes directly to the ATAPI drive. The code is also GPLed. I'm looking, if at all possible, for an all-BSD solution. Does such exist? The man page for FreeBSD's "burncd" command hints that it can can write DVDs, but doesn't say how. --Brett From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Dec 29 13:22:07 2003 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 72A3C16A4CE for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 13:22:07 -0800 (PST) Received: from oz.twisted.net (oz.twisted.net [209.172.186.230]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 74A3343D1F for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 13:22:06 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from troy@twisted.net) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by oz.twisted.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 701C8598E37 for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 15:22:49 -0600 (CST) Received: from oz.twisted.net ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (oz.twisted.net [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id 86275-04 for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 15:22:48 -0600 (CST) Received: by oz.twisted.net (Postfix, from userid 1000) id 5381A598FE9; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 15:22:48 -0600 (CST) Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 15:22:48 -0600 From: Troy To: questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <20031229212248.GA86452@twisted.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new at twisted.net Subject: Fuzzy out of focus console w/new flatscreen monitor on bootup X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list Reply-To: troy@twisted.net List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 21:22:07 -0000 I am using GRUB to boot into Freebsd 4.9 Stable. I recently purchased a new flatscreen monitor and when I boot up the console appears to be very fuzzy. I installed the NVIDIA driver and put the proper settings into the XF86Config and it's clear and in 1600x1200 for X windows. While researching, I found that in Linux, folks have used a switch in grub vga=795 when booting their kernel that gets the console to be much clearer. It doesn't appear that Freebsd supports that switch in grub. Any way to get the equiv switch so the console is clean?

Meaning what? You want to make sure the software really works with DVD-R, but you are not willing to test the software yourself?

An excellent suggestion. I'm paranoid when doing my backups. After I do them I do a restore -N. If you want to be really check things do an actual restore to a different location and do md5sum's to compare the files. Marc -- Marc Wiz marc@wiz.com Yes, that really is my last name.

According to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.0R/hardware-sparc64.html, "1.44 Mbyte floppy drives" are not supported. http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.1R/hardware-sparc64.html doesn't say anything about floppy drives that I could find, but it says that Sun Blade 100 is "Fully Supported." I suppose can infer from that that floppy drive support on the Sun Blade 100 made it in between 5.0 and 5.1. -Chris From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Dec 29 15:34:49 2003 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 25E5C16A4CE for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 15:34:49 -0800 (PST) Received: from rdsnet.ro (smtp.rdsnet.ro [62.231.74.130]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EEAD243D46 for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 15:34:46 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from itetcu@apropo.ro) Received: (qmail 2078 invoked from network); 29 Dec 2003 23:34:45 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO it.buh.cameradicommercio.ro) (81.196.25.19) by mail.rdsnet.ro with SMTP; 29 Dec 2003 23:34:45 -0000 Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2003 01:36:02 +0200 From: Ion-Mihai Tetcu To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-Id: <20031230013602.7ae6773d@it.buh.cameradicommercio.ro> X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 0.9.8claws (GTK+ 1.2.10; i386-portbld-freebsd5.1) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: kernel: feeder_init(0xc4827380) on feeder_rate returned 12 ??

Yes, I am using the --windows-mode option. I have a feeling that it's something with the zero-length semaphore files. But it's just a feeling. For a while I thought it was the network that was too slow, but I can't even copy an existing backup to the windows share. So my backup solution is to do a rdiff-backup to another hard drive and then do a tar:ing it and saving it to the windows machine. I don't even know if the rdiff-backup directory would be intact after I untar it if something is crashing. So, what am I asking? Well, first: Is it possible at all to have rdiff-backup saving to a mounted windows share (without using cygwin)? Is there any other backup programs that would support this?

RPMs are a species of package used with some Linux distributions. The=20 actual package has a .rpm suffix and (normally) requires the Linux utilit= y 'rpm' for creation, installation and management. FreeBSD packages have ann suffix of the form .tgz and are instaelled, and= =20 managed with a number of utilities installed by default with the FBSD=20 installation. These are pkg_add, pkg_delete, and generally pkg_*. These=20 contain precompiled binaries and support files. Ports in the FreeBSD system are essentually a set of Makefile driven algorithms for compiling utilities and applications from source; and=20 installing the resultant binaries and support files in the (mostly) corre= ct=20 place in the system file hierarchy. Often the the algorithms first patch = the=20 source to make it better suited to the operating system or to fix bugs in= the original. The source distributions may be in many different formats, but archives with the suffix .tar.gz are quite common. (Both ports and packages get registered in /var/db/pkg which assists in clean deletion of utilities and applictions) I believe this means that installing rpm is not useful in achieving your=20 ultimate goal. I would guess gmetadom-0.2.1.tar.gz is the latest distribu= tion you are refering to. Doing it the hard way you take this file and explode= it=20 with: # tar zxf gmetadom-0.2.1.tar.gz and read and try to digest the instructions that are likely to be contain= ed for compiling and installing the software. This is the generic approach -= -=20 hopefully it works on any unix like system. The better way is to download the latest port algorithm from www.freebsd.= org, install it in /usr/ports/textproc, and then=20 # cd /usr/ports/textproc/gmetacom # make install But you might first have a look to see if you have gmetacom in your ports (/usr/ports/textproc/gmetacom) and if so check the version which you can = find in /usr/ports/textproc/gmetacom/Makefile. If this is the version you are = looking for then you don't need to install the port algorithm; just go ahead with the= =20 'make install'. And assuming you have an internet connection it might all happen.

MY NETWORK Internet -- WAN_IF | FIREWALL - 5.1 RELASE | LAN_IF -- LAN network The WAN_IF has several public addresses as aliases. I have about 20 servers in the LAN that require various services allowed to the public Internet. I basically am doing a "bimap" one to one mapping per server in the LAN. This all works great, meaning I can surf etc etc from any LAN server to the Internet and also, from the Internet I can get published services on LAN servers. Here's the problem: I already mentioned that each server with a 192.168.50.x address is "bimap"ed to a public address. The problem is that if I am on any of the LAN servers, and want to connect to the public address of a server in the LAN, I CANNOT. Now first of, I could connect using private addresses and of course this works like it should. But our applications have real DNS names coded in the apps so I need this to work. I know it has something to be with proxy arp so I even tried placing this line in sysctl.conf: net.link.ether.inet.proxyall=1.\ no luck. ANY IDEAS? -------------- Second problem One of the LAN servers is a FTP server. From the Internet, I can only connect using ACTIVE MODE even though I allow both 20/21/tcp inbound. Here's what happens when passive mode is used: The initial connection is accepted, but then the server sends its private address instead of its proper public address! Of course it's not gonna work! So I forced active mode and voila! it worked. What's the fix for this bugger? I now outbound FTP has some built-in proxy ftp in freebsd but what about inbound? thanks, tsingh. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

[excuse me, I'm not typing the comments here] device ch # ... device da # ... device sa # ... device cd # ... device targ # ... device targbh # ... device pass # ... device ses # ... camcontrol devlist -v produces the following: scbus0 on ahc0 bus0: at scbus0 target 6 lun 0 (sa0, pass0) < > at scbus0 target -1 lun -1 () scbus1 on isp0 bus0: < > at scbus1 target -1 lun -1 (targbh0) scbus-1 on xpt0 bus 0: < > at scbus-1 target -1 lun -1 (xpt0) What I do not have is /dev/targ0, /dev/targ1, etc. They are simply not being created. This is 5.2, so they should just be there, no? I will be grateful for any help you can give me in finding out why, and getting them started.

I am telling you that the kernel has moved from ONE file to ONE directory, placed in /boot which makes perfect sense to me. It looks like this might be an easier way to manage kernel modules for each kernel that is build. What is the big deal?

The command vidcontrol -i mode will list your available modes - for console work, you're probably only interested in the text ones. Note also that if you load the vesa kernel module with kldload vesa the list will be longer. One of these modes should be the 'native' resolution of your display, which will give you a clear picture. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Troy" To: Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 7:52 AM Subject: Fuzzy out of focus console w/new flatscreen monitor on bootup > I am using GRUB to boot into Freebsd 4.9 Stable. > > I recently purchased a new flatscreen monitor and when I boot up the > console appears to be very fuzzy. > > I installed the NVIDIA driver and put the proper settings into the > XF86Config and it's clear and in 1600x1200 for X windows. > > While researching, I found that in Linux, folks have used a switch in > grub vga=795 when booting their kernel that gets the console to be much > clearer. > > It doesn't appear that Freebsd supports that switch in grub.

Most people delete these 'bad subject' emails on the spot, including me, I'm just in a good mood today... ;) You can try a couple different sources that are freely available. The first one being on your system already is the man page system. Simply type: # man Where command is the command you want help with. Your other source would be the FreeBSD handbook.

This is no mistake and IMHO is an excellent idea. 5.x has a number of changes and this is but a small one. I suspect you will be on the floor foaming at the mouth after you see the new rc scripts.

Take a look at /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh.sample 1. SVDIR=/var/service/ - so svscan will look at /var/service and not /service; either do: a) what is suggested and use /var/services (e.g. ln -s /etc/dnscache /var/service) or b) change SVDIR=/var/service/ to SVDIR=/service/ I would use a); also note that creating the log file in /etc/dnscache is IMHO a bad idea. 2. # cp /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh.sample /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh start # svstatus /var/services/dnscache # svstatus /var/services/dnscache/log # dnsip www.freebsd.org > I tried this configuration with 127.0.0.1 but it's not working ..

When I first read your response I thought 'wait a minute - it is a release, so it is stable'. Then I went back and read the info on the web site about 5.1-release. It is a 'release' based on the 'current' 5.0-current. I learned that just becuase it says -release doesn't mean it is based on -stable. Guess I hadn't noticed that before. Anyway, all is working fine now.

I recently ran the BYTE benchmark suite on the two and discovered something odd. Most of the results were as expected -- the slightly faster machine was slightly faster. However, the tests that involved context-switching ran nearly four times as fast on the SLOWER machine, and it's only ~70 MHz different. The two machines have the same motherboard and BIOS settings. The fact that the Dhrystone, integer and floating-point tests showed expected results rules out CPU performance as a factor. There is no disk activity on either machine during the non-disk tests, ruling out the disk subsystem. The slower machine has double the RAM, however the context-switching tests are not memory intensive and there are no other programs running during the tests. That rules out system memory. Both systems have identically configured kernels. That rules out kernel configuration. Running sysctl on both systems shows they have nearly identical kernal parameters. The only significant difference was the presence of kern.fast_vfork=1 on the slower unit. However, setting that to zero did not affect the test results. The only thing I can figure is that the context-switching code in 4.5 is better than in 4.9. The fact that kern.fast_vfork is no longer present in the 4.9 sources suggests that some modifications were made to that part of the kernel between the two versions.

I would like to hear of other people experiences too. There are a number of things that you have to decide on first before you go any further. These are: budget how critical the system is to downtime how much data you are willing to lose how long are you willing to wait for the second system to kick in. These will determine how you are going to build your system. You will have to keep the answers in mind when you are looking at any solution. What you seem to be looking for is a failover system. There is a fair bit written about failover systems. Googling will find you lots. Make sure that you look up linux high availability and failover as well to get a broader view. I have added some links below. There is really 2 things that you are trying to do here. Provide redundancy for the services and redundancy for the data. The services are a bit easier and cheaper than the data. The big problem is the data, especially databases. Due to their nature they cant easily be copied while live. A solution to this is a SAN. With lots of money it is easier as you can buy yourself a SAN and hook the two machines to it and host the data on the SAN. With some clever scripts from those HA sites when one machine goes down the other can take over and use the same data. There are other solutions using a fancy Y shaped SCSI cable to a external drive array. Others my be able to help here as I dont know about them. The other alternative is 2 identical machines. When you have 2 machines with the master storing data on its local drives it gets tricker. This is where you have to decide on how much data you are willing to lose. As an example we have a bsd box that rsyncs our windows fileserver ever hour. Should windas go down we run a script on the workstations remapping our drives to the bsd box. In this case we are prepared to lose up to an hours work. We are also prepared to lose say 15-30 minutes of time mucking around. In your situation perhaps what you could do is upgrade to 5.1 and rsync snapshots of your data to the secondary machine. You could use the failover setup as described on HA sites to fire up the services on the secondary machine and take over. This should work as snapshots are supposed to capture an instant in time but I couldnt guarantee it until I tested it. You would still be losing data as you could only snapshot data and transfer it in discrete intervals. A handy thing that linux has that I dont think that freebsd has is drbd. This is a block device that can mirror data across a network. If freebsd had this it would be easy to make the second machine a true mirror of the first. I wonder if they are looking at a thing similar to this in the future.

The license is a very great concern, for reasons I've mentioned elsewhere. We like to be able to look at and tweak the software we use, and we can't look at GPLed code for legal reasons. Also, no BSD-based operating system should be dependent upon GPLed code.

I'm looking for ideas on how to "best" configure this MB with all it's PATA and SATA option for use with FreeBSD -CURRENT. I've been following the -questions and -current mailing lists and have seen several people that appear to be running this board. Also I've seen, what appear to be, many issues with the Intel ICH5(R) controller. Ultimately I need a dual-boot FreeBSD, WinXP machine. I'd like to take advantage of the RAID capabilities in, ideally, both operating systems. -- Regards, Doug From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Dec 29 20:39:25 2003 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 B9CC616A4CE for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 20:39:25 -0800 (PST) Received: from postoffice.e-easy.com.au (eth0.lnk.aims.net.au [203.31.73.253]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A7E5643D53 for ; Mon, 29 Dec 2003 20:39:22 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from nigel@e-easy.com.au) Received: from e-easy.com.au (eet03s01.aims.private [192.168.10.3]) by postoffice.e-easy.com.au with ESMTP id hBU4dHRh070505 for ; Tue, 30 Dec 2003 15:39:17 +1100 (EST) (envelope-from nigel@e-easy.com.au) Received: from eet03s01 by e-easy.com.au (e-easy.com.au) (MDaemon.PRO.v7.0.0p.R) with ESMTP id md50000050881.msg for ; Tue, 30 Dec 2003 15:08:50 +1100 From: "Nigel Weeks" To: Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2003 15:08:46 +1100 Organization: E-Easy Message-ID: <00b401c3ce8a$9f447ba0$030aa8c0@corp.eeasy.com.au> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.4510 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.3790.0 Importance: Normal X-Spam-Processed: e-easy.com.au, Tue, 30 Dec 2003 15:08:50 +1100 (not processed: spam filter disabled) X-Return-Path: nigel@e-easy.com.au X-MDaemon-Deliver-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-milter (http://www.amavis.org/) Subject: Is it true?...

Hardware FPU is much faster than software emulation.

On a linux list, I found a note where someone said that LinkSys makes two very different cards, and calls both of them WMP11. (One is type 3 and one is type 4.) My guess is that only one of these is supported by FreeBSD (or linux, for that matter). Hopefully, someone on this list, or freebsd-mobile, where I'm copying this reply, will have a more authoritative answer.

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to have any useful version markings on it. Just a model number (WMP11), an FCC ID (PKW-WMP11), a Canada ID (3839104537A331) and a serial number. The board itself has "MW251-1 REV:XA" on it but I kind of doubt it has anything to do with the rev of the actual card itself. I have (blurry) pics (with my serial number greyed out) at http://www.raught.net/wmp11/ I have this working with 4.8 stable and am currently upgrading the machine to 4.9 stable. If you don't hear anything more, assume it works fine. (I don't see why it would quit working between 4.8 and 4.9) If I run into problems after upgrading I will post it to the lists. Background: I've had this card since 05/2002. It doesn't need any pccard stuff. It is detected with wi in the kernel. It is definitely a prism chipset with dmesg info as follows: wi0: mem 0xfe9ff000-0xfe9fffff irq 9 at device 17.0 on pci0 wi0: 802.11 address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.05, Station 1.03.04 Real MAC address shows in place of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, but I deleted for security reasons.

Most reference and tutorial pages for djbdns and other djb stuff like qmail assume a /service directory, rather than /var/service. Using /var/service does seem more logical, but can be a source of confusion, especially if people are copying and pasting commands from online instructions, something the various references often suggest. >2. ># cp /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh.sample /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh ># /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh start ># svstatus /var/services/dnscache ># svstatus /var/services/dnscache/log ># dnsip www.freebsd.org > > Shouldn't it be: # svstat /var/service/dnscache etc?

DHCP isn't the tool you'ld use for providing this sort of functionality. Unless you have a very peculiar setup, chances are the acronym you need is NAT. Read this: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/natd.html which should clarify things for you. There have been plenty of articles on this and other FreeBSD mailing lists on this topic which should help you. Knowing the right terminology should make searching the 'net for relevant material much easier too.

It is very common to use an FBSD gateway box with an single public ip address to share internet access with work stations on the private LAN behind the gateway box. DHCP can be used in this setting to assign the private reserved ip address to the LAN workstations. To complete this setup you also need to run some kind of NAT (network address translation) between the private LAN ip address and the single public internet address. If you have phone dial in to your ISP using (user ppp) then just enable it's built in NAT function. If you have DSL or cable internet connection then you need to use the NAT function of one of the FBSD firewall applications. I recommend ipnat/IPFILTER as it's the easiest to configure. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Stanley Chan Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 6:14 AM To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: DHCP Dear FreeBSD, I am running my DHCP server on the FreeBSD 4.8.

Though /pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.9-release/all/ does. The FBSD handbook says to use http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html To find port and package names and it only shows the names with versions suffix appended to the name. Some entries listed have package link and some don't, entries without package link still have packages. just looks like thinks are in process of changing, as if there is an project in progress, so I asked the question. Default location for pkg_add should be 'all' and not 'Latest' or 'Latest' should be populated with content of 'all' so pkg_add will function. -----Original Message----- From: Kris Kennaway [mailto:kris@obsecurity.org] Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 9:08 AM To: fbsd_user Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.

Not knowing the "correct" way to achieve it as a combination of Makefile/pkgtools.conf entries I ended up with the following:- In the port's Makefile I added something of the form: .if defined(VAR) CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --option="${VAR}" .endif and in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf: MAKE_ARGS = { 'category/portname' => [ 'VAR=\'space delimited list\'', ], } and I am hoping to solicit the opinions of those more experienced in these matters as to whether they consider that to be the 'optimal' solution since it was arrived at on my part after a multitude of somewhat random combinations of single and double quotes, double-single quotes and backslash-escaped quotes in both the Makefile and pkgtools.conf (it took a while because I was intent on trying to match the single quotes around the option arguemnt as was shown in the installation notes).

If I don't load anything from loader.conf, I get keyclicks (enabled in BIOS), but no ^G beeps in CLI or X. If I don't load anything from loader.conf, then kldload snd_maestro3.ko, then kldunload snd_maestro3.ko, then kldload snd_maestro3.ko again, keyclicks, ^G beeps and full stereo sound works in X. I've built (and rebuilt) ther kernel with device pcm, without device pcm -- the method described above works with no device pcm. I can make sound work by scripting the load/unload/reload process as zzz.maestro.sh and placing it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Has anyone experienced anything similar, or does anyone have any ideas what might be going on? I don't have this problem with 4.9_STABLE or 5.2-CURRENT on Dell C600 latitudes --they use the same maestro3 card.

Please look at the man page and look at the scripts for rsync that were given in this thread. It is quite easy to setup. After looking back at one of your other replies, You don't need to have rsync running as a daemon on any of the machines. You just need to have rsync installed on all. Rsync will basically tunnel through ssh (or rsh if you want) to do the transfers(or synchronizations). --- Matthew Juszczak wrote: > I'm not worried about down time. > > I'm strictly worrying about backing up: > > /home and /usr/local/mysql/var > > On server 1 and > > /home and /var/mail > > On Server 2. > > Thats it. > > Any ideas?

Do the other machines on the same switch have problems communicating with each other? If not, plug the cable from the bridge into a known good port and give it a try.

I don't know how to make burncd burn DVD-R's. People have been able to use the port I mentioned to burn DVD-R's, at least if their hardware is capable of doing so. >>> The code is also GPLed.

I do not see why the GPL would prevent you from looking at or modifying DVD+RW-tools if you wanted to-- unless you plan on selling or redistributing closed-source DVD-burning software (seems unlikely)-- but it doesn't matter whether I understand these "legal reasons" or not. > Also, no BSD-based operating system should be dependent upon GPLed > code. I'm glad to see that Jeroen and others are working on > alternative toolchain components. My opinion is that FreeBSD is better off having tools like "less" as part of the OS. Come to think of it, "less" is now dual-licensed under both a BSD-style license and the GPL. Perhaps you could ask Andy whether he would be willing to make dvd+rw-tools available for your use under a different license? -- -Chuck From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Dec 30 12:05:56 2003 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 6353F16A4CF for ; Tue, 30 Dec 2003 12:05:56 -0800 (PST) Received: from kifco.net (host4.kifco.net [216.65.57.4]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6240043D31 for ; Tue, 30 Dec 2003 12:05:54 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from Admin@kifco.net) Received: from kifco.net (deadline@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by kifco.net (8.12.8p1/8.12.8) with ESMTP id hBUGDmpD061266 for ; Tue, 30 Dec 2003 16:13:48 GMT (envelope-from Admin@kifco.net) From: "Marwan Sultan" To: "FreeBSD questions List" Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2003 19:13:48 +0300 Message-Id: <20031230160934.M41350@kifco.net> X-Mailer: Open WebMail X-OriginatingIP: 195.226.253.106 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Subject: Prevent Port scaning 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, 30 Dec 2003 20:05:56 -0000 Hello Subscribers..

(correct me if im wrong) That's a good working hypothesis. Someone is sending you a lot of packets to port numbers where nothing is actually listening at such a rate that your kernel is limiting the rate at which it will respond. It could also be due to the MSBLASTER worm, which is still very prevalent on the net: I see probes to port 135 on my machine about every 30s. Which isn't fast enough to trigger the rate limiting you're seeing, but if you were on a network with a lot of infected machines isn't out of the question. =20 > My question is: > How to prevent this? I asumed that I should put the IP in deny list. Best thing to do is implement a firewall where you default to dropping any incoming packet not to the set of specifically allowed services you require. Note: you want to 'drop' or 'deny' the packet, rather than 'reject' it. 'Drop' just chucks the packet in the bit-bucket and nothing more. 'Reject' sends back an ICMP message saying "I can't hear you". Another (much easier, but less secure) thing to so is use the following sysctls: net.inet.tcp.blackhole=3D2 net.inet.udp.blackhole=3D1 See blackhole(4) for details. > But where is the IP? Try running tcpdump(1) or ethereal(1) (ports: net/ethereal) to capture network traffic. =20 > I cannot find any IP in my logs that it shows who is doing the scan. > or trying to hack..or whatever, Yes -- you will need to use the logging facilities of ipfw(8) or ipf(8) to record that sort of thing.

I purchased this print server specifically because it doesn't need a windows box running or doesn't require SMB. The application is for use with my laptop, which dual boots to windows and freebsd. This printer is located in a different part of my home and I'm avoiding having it become dependent on a computer again.

Exactly what are distfiles? I'm not a noobie to FreeBSD, relatively speaking. It's just that once I set something up on FreeBSD, it just sits there and works. I rarely have to muck around too much besides keeping the installed software up to date. Although, I'm working on moving my win98se printer over to FreeBSD. So, you may see me post again soon :).

I don't know if ipf & pf have a common code background, but I do know pf & ipf have totally different rule processing logic though the rules do look some what common. When it comes to using variables on the rule set, that is just the normal function of shell processing. Ipfw, ipf, and pf can all be buried inside of an shell script and perform variable substitution. In FBSD the rc.conf statement for pointing to the directory location of the ipf rules can not process a script. You just point that rc.conf statement to an empty file just to get the system up. Then you have script in the startup application directory that executes to load the ipf rules. Works great. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of j.l@telus.net Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 7:35 PM To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: ipf / pf Hi, Here's a question that might seem trivial: What's the relationship between the freebsd ipf and the openbsd pf? Are they the same thing, or are they separately developed branches of a common codebase? Or maybe they are totally different. I ask this because I was looking around for guides for ipf.rules, and some of the openbsd pf examples look similar, but some command syntax are different. The openbsd pf.conf example had the ability to define variables of ip addresses, interface names, etc, but it doesn't seem to work with ipf.rules. Is there any way to define variables in ipf.rules? please cc me in your responses cause I'm not subscribed to the list thanks so much jonathan _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Dec 30 19:32:05 2003 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 ECB6F16A4CE for ; Tue, 30 Dec 2003 19:32:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from mercury.peeringsolutions.ca (mercury.peeringsolutions.ca [66.199.183.102]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7ECB043D1F for ; Tue, 30 Dec 2003 19:32:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jslivko@bway.net) Received: from jslivko.bway.net ([216.220.113.95] helo=peeringswtla75) by mercury.peeringsolutions.ca with esmtp (Exim 4.24) id 1AbX5M-0001Hz-Bn; Tue, 30 Dec 2003 22:31:52 -0500 From: "Jonathan M.

I did a bit more reading about it, and found that ipf used to be in openbsd, until some sort of license dispute. Then the openbsd people supposedly wrote their own pf ... so there's probably no relation between the two... as for the scripting .. i'll probably have to look into that a little more before i do anything like that ... i'll just stick to plain old ipf rules for now ... thanks again fbsd_user wrote: >PF has been just ported to FBSD.

Does anybody know what the > limit is in FreeBSD? Can't find any info about this anywhere. I don't think there's really a limit on the number of files; I quite easily created 90k files in a directory with a shell script. The number of subdirectories in one directory is 32766, since the link count for a directory is stored as a signed 16-bit integer, and the parent directory will end up with 32767 links (one for itself, and 32766 to .. in each child directory). This is also trivial to verify with a shell script. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Dec 30 20:41:45 2003 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 4B96F16A4CE for ; Tue, 30 Dec 2003 20:41:45 -0800 (PST) Received: from be-well.no-ip.com (lowellg.ne.client2.attbi.com [66.30.200.37]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5AD4843D64 for ; Tue, 30 Dec 2003 20:41:41 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from freebsd-questions-local@be-well.ilk.org) Received: by be-well.no-ip.com (Postfix, from userid 1147) id B4E1384; Tue, 30 Dec 2003 23:41:40 -0500 (EST) Sender: lowell@be-well.ilk.org To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org References: <3FF190B7.8030905@usmstudent.com> <200312301058.25742.kstewart@owt.com> <3FF212AF.1040608@crotchett.com> From: Lowell Gilbert Date: 30 Dec 2003 23:41:40 -0500 In-Reply-To: <3FF212AF.1040608@crotchett.com> Message-ID: <441xql8upn.fsf@be-well.ilk.org> Lines: 10 User-Agent: Gnus/5.09 (Gnus v5.9.0) Emacs/21.3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Subject: Re: combining partitions 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: Wed, 31 Dec 2003 04:41:45 -0000 Darren writes: > Now, I must ask a dumb question. Exactly what are distfiles? Source code is distributed in whatever manner the software author desires. Frequently this is a tarred and gzipped file, but it might be compressed with some other tool or even uncompressed. The program source code, whatever form it comes in, is called a ``distfile''. You can get the distfile from a CD-ROM or from the Internet.

I finally changed the Solaris 8 box to a FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE machine. Unfortunately, I am noticing alot of problems with my rsh and rcp calls. Again, the rsh/rcp calls are being initiated on my Solaris 2.6 and are hitting a FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE box. Here is what happens: My first rsh works, but if I try another rsh within a few seconds it takes a really long time (30 - 60 sec) to return - but it does return successful. If I issue my rsh calls every 2 minutes, it returns quick everytime. But if I do rsh calls to close together (5 sec delays) they hang for a long time. The rcp behaves the same way - but with an added oddity... I can't seem to 'rcp -r' directories. For example, say I have /tmp/test and in there I have three files (a, b, and c.). When I try to rcp -r that directory, I get the following: # rcp -r /tmp/test host:/tmp rcp: /tmp/test/a/b: Not a directory rcp: /tmp/test/a/b/c: Not a directory Very weird! Anyone have any ideas? If I can't get this resolved I am going to have to go back to the old SUN to SUN setup and scrap the FreeBSD machine.

No, but I believe it should be supported by the sis(4) driver. See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sis&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+4.9-RELEASE&format=html for more information. To use the sis(4) driver you also need to have the miibus(4) in your kernel. It's also worth noticing, for future reference, that you could have answered this question for yourself by a simple google search. Hope that helps and good luck!

That's by design. If you want the latest version of the package you don't care what the specific version is. If you care about downloading a specific version, you can download it from the All/ directory or from one of the other subdirectories (e.g. games/).

From the URL above: Things you shouldn't do with Vinum __________________________________ o Don't put more than one drive on a physical disk. Each drive contains two copies of the Vinum configuration, and both updating the configuration and starting Vinum slow down as a result.

(I understand that VMware and Virtual PC may be able to do this, but I'd prefer to use an open source product.) I was told on the plex86 list to look at bochs. I did look at some bochs documentation that mentioned making and using an ISO image for Windows (which I don't use). But my guest operating system will be Linux or NetBSD. I didn't find any bochs documentation on using FreeBSD as the host system and booting Linux or NetBSD ISO images. I asked the bochs-developers list (because I didn't see a "general" bochs discussion forum) but didn't get any feedback. For example, I make bootable NetBSD and Linux CDs, and I can test the executables and environment by mounting the ISO image and chrooting to it. (But this doesn't test the boot and init.) I want to test the entire bootup starting with the ISO image's embedded bootable 2.88 floppy image, booting kernel, running /sbin/init, et cetera (without wasting time having to physically burn a CD and rebooting using that new CD on a test system each time). Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on what I can use to boot a bootable ISO image? I see ports/emulators/bochs ... does anyone know how to get it to boot a bootable ISO image (where host is FreeBSD and ISO is Linux or NetBSD)? Thank you for any advice, Jeremy C.

Now that is weird. 30-60 second delay sounds like classic DNS breakage, but in that case you'ld see it the first time you connected and probably subsequent times. How are you doing name resolution on this system -- host files, NIS, DNS, something else? Are you using Kerberos at all? Does toggling the use of the '-D' and '-n' flags in inetd.conf on the FreeBSD side make any difference? Hmmm... does this happen all of the time, or do you get a grace period of a few minutes immediately after rebooting the FreeBSD box? Are you perhaps ending up with an awful lot of connections sitting in CLOSE_WAIT stage on the FBSD box? =20 > The rcp behaves the same way - but with an added oddity...

Does saying: # rcp -r /tmp/test host:/tmp/ (note the trailing '/') make a difference? This is by analogy to cp(1) where trailing slashes do have a similar sort of effect -- I think that's a feature of BSD-ish Unices but not SysV-ish flavours. =20 > Anyone have any ideas?

Most people will strongly advise you to use ssh(1) and scp(1) instead -- those are standard on Solaris 9 but you'll have to compile yourself up a copy on Solaris 2.6. You can use key based authentication with ssh-agent(1) in order to avoid having to put in passwords all the time: see the SSH FAQ at http://www.snailbook.com/faq/no-passphrase.auto.html Note too that sshd(8) under FreeBSD disallows root access by default, but there's a pretty obvious control in the /etc/ssh/sshd.conf config file.

I have a router, which gets native ipv6 on xl0 with block 2001:a6x:2:1x::/64 and she has also lan-interface. My idea was to route 2001:a6x:2:1x:dead::/96 to lan interface so i thought doing as follows; added 2001:a6x:2:1x::3/64 to lan-interface, then routed 2001:a6x:2:1x:dead::/96 to it. Now the fun comes in, xl0 pings net fine, lan interface pings xl0 fine, but lan interface wont ping net. tcpdump says like this: 13:13:32.755545 2001:a6x:2:1x::1337 > 2001:a6x:2:1x::: icmp6: echo request 13:13:32.764543 2001:a6x:2:1x:220:48ff:fe5b:2d15 > ff02::1:ff00:1337: icmp6: neighbor sol: who has 2001:a6x:2:1x::1337 no answer. so gw-router is like "hmm. who the fck has this address." then asks it with multicast or similar thing (ff02-thing) but wont get reply? Why lan-if wont get that multicast-whateveritis request while it is on same net but different interface? all forwarding sysctls are 1. no firewalls harrassing or anything.

Eric, If I were smart I would give up now and quit showing my ignorance by not being able to help you, but I'm not. ;-) I've used network printers for years and have never had a problem. I assume that the responses above are for lp1 and that you can ping 192.168.1.printer_ip and the mac is the correct one (want to be sure the packets are going where we think they are going.) netstat -nr will give you that one. Unfortunately, these have always worked out of the box for me so I have no experience troubleshooting them. The worst case for me has been that you need a windows box to set dhcp with propriatary software:) sorry, P.S. Did you try to print the test page from apsfilter? Can the windows boxes access it through the ip?

Anyways, I did the whole make buildworld make installworld stuff with the new kernel and cvsup'ing and all, just like the handbook says, but pkg_version -l \< reports over 130 packages that aren't up to date. When I was running mergemaster I accidentally skipped master.passwd and lost some info. Yes, my bad for not backing it up. So it broke gdm (no user/group) and rather than figure out what the correct user/group info was I decided to just deinstall/reinstall the port and let it do it in case I messed up anything else in /etc with mergemaster. Well, it didn't want to be reinstalled. Neither did gnome. I ran into all kinds of dependancies on other packages (I though ports system took care of this?) with out of date versions. gnome led me to xft which led me to X-4-libraries, which led me to imake - all out of date old port type errors. I can't even portupgrade anything. What did I do wrong? Or maybe, what am I assuming incorrectly? I thought rebuilding world would upgrade everything. I assume then that portupgrade is for keeping up to date (I've run it successfully on other machines). What then is the whole make world process for? This was just on a machine to play around with the whole make world thing since I've only ever cvsup'd my machines, so I can easily just start over. I'm assuming there's a way out from here, but I also want to know how to do it correctly if I do start over and what I should really be doing to stay -CURRENT. Thanks.

Currently, on new install I get F1 hang on the boot manager or just hangs without. The problem arose when I did a new install of 5.1 release over the 4.9 and the install wouldn't boot. I then reinstalled 4.9 and that wouldn't boot. I went back and forth a couple times to no avail. I then low level fomatted the drives and reinitialized them but again to no avail. I read the suggestion to install linux which changes the drive geometry (which it did) but still no luck. I've tried setting the active partition during the install by letting the install commit to fdisk and succesfully writing to fdisk manually and on all occassions a return to fdisk shows the partition not active. I feel like the fdisk is writing to a ramdisk and not commiting it to the boot sector on exit as all the rest of the install appears to be on the drive. (on reinstall the prompt comes up "commiting to existing root...."). Anyone have any knowledge on this? I've additionally tried the live CD and the mini cd with the same results. Are there any bootable floppy sets to bring up a generic kernal that doesn't bring up the install routine? Is there a method to correct the boot loader manually?

The FBSD handbook says to use http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html to find port and package names and it only shows the names with versions suffix appended to the names. Pkg_add -r points to directory location with out names with versions suffix appended. >From user view point, pkg_add -r does not work because user is entering name with version suffix appended as they are led to believe is the correct name as instructed by the FBSD handbook. The user doesn't know about or cares about what 'Latest' contains. All they know is, they can not get pkg_add to work as instructed by the handbook. That's the big problem.

That's by design. If you want the latest version of the package you don't care what the specific version is. If you care about downloading a specific version, you can download it from the All/ directory or from one of the other subdirectories (e.g. games/).

I've found I don't care about looking ignorant anymore because of some of the questions I've asked in here... I know I can ping the print server, and I know I've got the right IP address as this printer server has a built-in webpage for configuration. Also, it has the capability of configuration via tftp. Out of the box you type a # arp -s # tftp get config.txt You fill in the appropriate fields for configuration, and put the config.txt file back on the print server with # tftp put config.txt So, really this is a pretty advanced little monster. I _can_ print from the windows boxes, as they're using the lpr system as well. I set them up this way so I could be sure that the lpr/lpd settings on this devil worked. As far as the apsfilter test page, it works via parallel connection, but I cannot print it to the printer via the nework. I'm almost thinking at this point I need to contact the tech support personnel over at Zero One. They've been a help in the past when the windows driver didn't want to install right away.

Turns out this was an issue with the maildrop port. There doesn't appear to be a way of configuring 'trusted users' for maildrop without directly modifying the Makefile. And maildrop doesn't get installed suid despite having it's "--enable-maildrop-uid" option set. Making maildrop suid and configuring it with user:mailnull as a trusted user got it working. Time for a change request I think.

Sounds like a good idea [practising on a test machine first]. Unfortunately, updating your operating system can cause problems with your installed ports. In some cases, you need to remove a ton of them and rebuild. Some say PortUpgrade can do this fairly well on its own, however I've found it pukes when you toss XWindows and GNOME or KDE into the mix and you end up doing it manually anyway. Is there a "right way?" -- hard to say. There are so many variations in setups out there that nothing I know of can figure out what's right for you, and me, and the next guy. Deinstall the ports (all of them if you really feel like). Make sure your ports tree has been updated (use cvsup) and re-install them. Re-read the handbook chapter on ports and cvsup.

I believe Seagate has an utility you can use to check a drive. Also if the drive was bought in the last couple of years and your motherboard supports SMART monitoring I believe there is a port that can interface to the SMART interface in your hardware. >From my experience if your system supports SMART and you have it enabled upon bootup you would receive a notice if your HD is having serious problems.

Would this exact configuration work ? Should I set any other permission in order to have the user from the wheel group to mount drives? Thanks for posting your configuration. PS: One thing I've noticed with this specific user, whenever he creates something the file/directory will show owner:username group:username. I've used the command "groups" as well as chpass I think and they gave me only one group for this username... wheel.

On the FreeBSD side, after the first rsh, netstat shows: tcp4 0 0 mx100.851 embryo.bluebell..1021 TIME_WAIT tcp4 0 0 mx100.shell embryo.bluebell..1022 TIME_WAIT Those connections stay around for awhile, about 30 seconds. Only when they disappear does the next rsh work. As for the rcp, I was missing a trailing slash, apparently rcp -r syntax between Solaris and FreeBSD is a little different. So the rcp's work, but that take just as long as the rsh calls. As for name resolution, the Solaris box uses dns, and so does FreeBSD. Both have some entries in the hosts file. -John On Wed, 31 Dec 2003, Matthew Seaman wrote: > On Tue, Dec 30, 2003 at 11:42:41PM -0500, John Von Essen wrote: > > > > I have a Solaris 2.6 box that has been sending data to a Solaris 8 box > > via rsh and rcp. > > > > I finally changed the Solaris 8 box to a FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE machine. > > > > Unfortunately, I am noticing alot of problems with my rsh and rcp > > calls.

If each box has a publicly routable IP address, I'd definitely put the firewall on each of them. If they're on a private network behind a router, then a firewall on the router would be a basic level of security, and running a firewall on the servers themselves would be "icing on the cake."

That is totally up to you. If you plan to do it on one of your FreeBSD machines I believe you will need to have two NICs. At least that I believe is the easiest way to do it. There are some parameters you need in your kernel to use IPFW. Not sure if PF needs kernel changes. You very likely should be able to find previous posts and/or tutorials online with how to setup either one, IPFW or PF. I do recommend though you get yourself a good book on security so you understand all the parameters and options you are going to need to deal with. Take a look at /etc/rc.firewall. I believe they mention a book or two there that you may want to consider reading.

In the past I had no problem simply inserting a CF card and mounting the device. The /etc/fstab entry has always been as follows: /dev/da0s1 /sandisk msdos rw,noauto 0 0 And all I had to do was mount /sandisk. The filesystem on the card is created by a Nikon CoolPix 885. The usual method of retrieving the pics was to simply move them from the CF card to my hard drive storage. This had the added benefits of preserving the actual date of the pic in the filesystem and removing them from the card. But it's not working anymore. I can't quite figure out why. When I try to mount it, I get the following: msdos: /dev/da0s1: Device not configured Nothing has changed that I can think of, but I am noticing the following in the system boot sequence: . . . uhci0: port 0xcce0-0xccff irq 11 at device 7.2 on pci0 usb0: on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ugen0: SanDisk Corporation ImageMate CompactFlash USB, rev 1.10/0.09, addr 2 . . . Trying to mount /dev/ugen0 in place of /dev/da0s1 simply tells me I need a block device. I'm not sure how to fix this, but I'm pretty sure I never had to perform any hocus pocus to get this working in the first place. Any ideas or pointers to specific docs?

Apparently, if I do 'rsh -n host cmd' on the Solaris box, it no longer hangs, and I can do it back to back indefinitely. Say I do ten of them, 5 secs apart. I still see the following 10 times in netstat: tcp4 0 0 mx100.841 embryo.bluebell..1014 TIME_WAIT After 30 secs they go away. On Solaris 2.6, the -n to rsh is: -n Redirect the input of rsh to /dev/null. You sometimes need this option to avoid unfor- tunate interactions between rsh and the shell which invokes it. For example, if you are running rsh and invoke a rsh in the back- ground without redirecting its input away from the terminal, it will block even if no reads are posted by the remote command. The -n option will prevent this. This doesn't affect rcp, so those are still slow. The only other thing is that I am going through a firewall, from an internal network to a dmz. -John On Wed, 31 Dec 2003, Matthew Seaman wrote: > On Tue, Dec 30, 2003 at 11:42:41PM -0500, John Von Essen wrote: > > > > I have a Solaris 2.6 box that has been sending data to a Solaris 8 box > > via rsh and rcp. > > > > I finally changed the Solaris 8 box to a FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE machine. > > > > Unfortunately, I am noticing alot of problems with my rsh and rcp > > calls.

If you read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/packages-using.html it says, about half way down the page: "Note that in the example above lsof is used instead of lsof-4.56.4. When the remote fetching feature is used, the version number of the package must be removed. pkg_add(1) will automatically fetch the latest version of the application." Can you give a concrete example of what the handbook says, and how following the steps causes a problem?

Only when they > disappear does the next rsh work. OK. Some progress. This rules out problems due to limitations in the number of possible connections you can have open at any one time -- if the limit is just two, then there would be a lot more things complaining than just rcp(1). And you'ld have to try exceedingly hard to get a FBSD system that limited. Hmmm... What flags are you invoking inetd(8) with on the FreeBSD side? Specifically are you using any of these (quoting from the manual page): -c maximum Specify the default maximum number of simultaneous invocations= of each service; the default is unlimited. May be overridden on a per-service basis with the "max-child" parameter. -C rate Specify the default maximum number of times a service can be invoked from a single IP address in one minute; the default is unlimited. May be overridden on a per-service basis with the "max-connections-per-ip-per-minute" parameter. -R rate Specify the maximum number of times a service can be invoked in one minute; the default is 256. A rate of 0 allows an unlimit= ed number of invocations. -s maximum Specify the default maximum number of simultaneous invocations= of each service from a single IP address; the default is unlimite= d. May be overridden on a per-service basis with the "max-child-p= er- ip" parameter. The symptoms you describe could be caused eg. by running with '-s 2' in the inetd flags (you're getting two socket connections per rsh or rcp invocation because a second channel is opened to carry the stderr =66rom the invoked command, but that doesn't count towards inetd's connection limits). The default for all of these is unlimited (ie. inetd_flags=3D"-wW") and there aren't any per-service limits on the rsh (shell) service in the default inetd.conf. I generally use: inetd_flags=3D"-wWl -R 1024 -c 128 -a ${hostname}" in my /etc/rc.conf on internet facing machines where I run inetd(8) -- if this is a purely internal machine (which it certainly should be if you're using rsh(1) on it) then I wouldn't bother with any sort of connection rate-limiting, at least for the time being. Hmmm... As well -- what's the output of: % sysctl net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack You might try setting that to zero to turn off delayed ack. That's where the system will wait for about a minute before sending an ACK in order to try and coalesce it with a data packet. Usually that's a win performance-wise. See tcp(4). There's also the RFC1644 support you might want to try toggling: see ttcp(4) -- I'm unable to find any definitive statement on the net about Solaris support for this, so no idea if it will actually help or not. > As for the rcp, I was missing a trailing slash, apparently rcp -r syntax > between Solaris and FreeBSD is a little different. So the rcp's work, but > that take just as long as the rsh calls. That's one problem down then.

Yes, it's true that the 'apache' package gets you 1.3.x, and 'apache2' gets you 2.0.x, and this is not clear from the information listed at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/www.html. Perhaps some information could be added to the apache2 package description so that people know what package name to use for apache vs. apache2. In the majority of cases, there aren't separate ports for different versions of an application, so this problem doesn't exist for them. It seems to me that making selected package descriptions more descriptive would be a whole lot safer than making the changes you suggest. -- David Fleck david.fleck@mchsi.com From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Dec 31 09:16:02 2003 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 0704816A4CE for ; Wed, 31 Dec 2003 09:16:02 -0800 (PST) Received: from sccimhc02.asp.att.net (sccimhc02.asp.att.net [63.240.76.164]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A15E743D6D for ; Wed, 31 Dec 2003 09:15:47 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from david.fleck@mchsi.com) Received: from grond (12-216-14-105.client.mchsi.com[12.216.14.105]) by sccimhc02.asp.att.net (sccimhc02) with SMTP id <20031231171546im20067pbte>; Wed, 31 Dec 2003 17:15:46 +0000 Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2003 11:15:45 -0600 (CST) From: David Fleck Sender: dcf@grond.sourballs.org To: fbsd_user In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <20031231111503.S67155@grond.sourballs.org> References: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII cc: Kris Kennaway cc: David Fleck cc: "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.

On my last episode I lost only the current day's worth of data (backup at night). However I realised that I also need to backup programs installed on the machine. It takes a long time to rebuild all packages (I had a list of ports I had installed). How do others backup their programs? I am undecided between trying to backup the entire /usr/local and making packages of my critical ports and burning that to CDs. I also took care of all system files, but I realized that backing up all of /etc wasn't so helpfull if I didn't know which files I used. I also, as of last crash, am going to backup /usr/src since restoring all of /etc only makes sense with matching sources. The one thing I have against trying to backup all of /usr/local is that something like PostgreSQL may cause the backup problems whereas the package solution will be a one time deal and will not affect production. The other thing I learnt that needs to be backed up is the /usr/ports directory.

It's been a while, but I played with one of those boxes during our (ir-)regular C0d3 & b33r sessions. The console was set up to use 9600bps, 8N1 - so you could either connect with minicom, or with cu, as I usually, since it's there by default. Naturally, you'll need a null modem cable, yes. cu -s 9600 -l /dev/cuaa[0-9] usually does the trick for me. > > If using the CF card in the machine how did you find out what was the > device name of your USB writer.

Very convenient especially with laptops when you can't be connected all the time.Very fast too (only transmit diffs) - rsync : typical rsync that will mirror the source to the destination - rsync-backup : it's based on rsync but you get the advantage of incremental backups so you can restore from a specific date. You can also purge the backup by removing old stuff. A couple of cron jobs take care of the different backups at night. I don't know if that answers to your question but I thought that could give you some ideas. Dany Francisco Reyes wrote: >With every HD problem I loose less and less data.

First the tool is call rdiff-backup (and not rsync-backup which also exists) : http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/index.html Secondly, for the OS, I also use rdiff-backup and not rsync so I have a fast, space efficient, incremental backup of the OS too ! PS: On the same web page you will also find a link to another tool call duplicity (http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/duplicity.html). You can do remote backup but in that case the image can be stored on a remote FTP server and encrypted with GPG... sweet if you're planning to use the disk space of your ISP for backups!

There's just the small matter of agreeing what those standard locations should be. >>Using /var/service does seem more logical, but >>can be a source of confusion, especially if people are copying and >>pasting commands from online instructions, something the various >>references often suggest. >> >> > >Perhaps I should suggest to the maintainer adding a pkg-message saying >that, by default, we're using /var/services ? > > Good idea, though there is already a mention of this issue in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svscan.sh.sample I think the djbdns and the qmail ports should create the service directory if it's not already there (in / or /var, whatever, so long as both ports agree) and the symlinks within it, with configure options for selecting a different location. That would help avoid a lot of confusion and mean the ports installed services that were actually capable of running after the make install without an unusual amount of tweaking, but I'll take this to the relevant list.

I have a number of fonts on CD that I copied from a previous Linux machine I was using. What is the easiest way to make these fonts available to applications in my FreeBSD installation? In other words, in what directory(ies) should in place the fonts so that they are usable by applications in KDE, Gnome, XFce, etc.? Do I then need to manually create FontPath entries in the XF86Config file? Or if there's another way please let me know. Thanks.

The problems were simple -- simple enough that *I* got it working! -- and I emailed the listed port maintainer with what I have found. Now, I haven't heard back, but I am not jumping to conclusions because of the holidays. But out of curiosity, if the port is in fact orphaned, what happens? Who is the next person to contact?

I read the OP's question as "I want to tar all the files in a directory without including any other directories..." which would mean "any (sub)directories within the directory would not be placed in the tarball", right?

I'm trying to trim an installation down as small as possible (to put on Compact Flash). If I start out with just the 'bin' directory for the release there's around 100megs of files. Obviously a lot of them like ipfw I don't need. However, what about things like awk? I won't use it, but are there other parts of FreeBSD (ie /etc/rc.* files)? Is there a list somewhere that would help determine what files are used by FreeBSD for normal operation?

I have a DHCP server at home (isc-dhcpd) and I've been wondering for a long time why it is giving the last IP addresses of the specified range at first? Like I tell him a range from 10.0.0.50 to 10.0.0.100 and it's giving 100 then 99,98,97 and so on. Why not directly 50 then 51,52,53,... ??

I was wondering if anyone else has had this type of problem...and more importantly found a solution.
