I get the following error on make install: <=== [config] ===> Generating temporary packing list ** Missing package files for apache+mod_ssl-1.3.20+2.8.4. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl. *** Error code 1 I get this right after it does some kind of check on the certs that I generated ...

I have a VPN setup with a ssh tunnel over ppp, and directed to a couple FreeBSD boxen at work etc.. A couple weeks ago I started to get many of the following messages in the system log, every couple seconds or so : natd[175]: failed to write packet back (Permission denied) sshd[312]: fatal: Write failed: Permission denied So I checked /var/log/security and noticed that this rule was blocking the packets : # Stop RFC1918 nets on the outside interface add deny log all from any to 192.168.0.0/16 via EXTERN_IFACE (where EXTERN_IFACE is my external NIC, ed0) Here is an example of what was in /var/log/security : /kernel: ipfw: 1400 Deny TCP xxx.xx.218.22:1602 192.168.66.8:80 out via ed0 And many of the same kind of lines with different ports and different source IP's and VPN destination IP's. This doesn't look suspicious since xxx.xx.218.22, for example, is the IP of one of the computers I am connected to through the VPN, and 192.168.66 is the subnetwork for the VPN IP's. So it looks like a computer from the VPN is trying to reach another one through the VPN, but this is weird though ed0, since the VPN interfaces are tun0 etc.. Then I changed the rule in the firewall to add deny log all from any to 192.168.0.0/16 in via EXTERN_IFACE to avoid those annoying messages but I'm not sure this is safe to do? And what could cause the packets to go through ed0 instead of the relevant tun ? There are other rules before in the firewall to allow normal VPN packets to pass : add allow all from 192.168.0.0/16 to 192.168.0.0/16 via tun0 ... and same for the other tun's Here is an example of how my ppp.conf looks for the different hosts I am connected to : yavin: # my end: 66.1, yavin end: 66.2 set ifaddr 192.168.66.1 192.168.66.2 255.255.255.255 # routing add 192.168.4.0/24 HISADDR set timeout 0 And the corresponding ppp.conf on yavin for example. (ghost is my computer, which could be seen as acting like a HUB box for the different VPN comps) ghost: set device "!ssh -i /etc/ppp/ppp.key xxx.xxx.20.230" set ifaddr 192.168.66.4 192.168.66.3 255.255.255.255 add 192.168.1.0/24 HISADDR set dial set timeout 0 And the relevant output of 'netstat -rn' on my computer : root@ghost:/etc# netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default xxx.xxx.20.1 UGSc 14 120 ed0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 4 1301 lo0 xxx.xxx.20/24 link#1 UC 0 0 ed0 => 192.168.0.128/25 192.168.66.12 UGSc 0 320 tun3 192.168.1 link#2 UC 0 0 dc0 => 192.168.2 192.168.66.4 UGSc 0 2 tun0 192.168.4 192.168.66.2 UGSc 0 3 tun1 192.168.66.1 lo0 UHS 0 0 lo0 192.168.66.2 192.168.66.1 UH 1 92 tun1 192.168.66.3 lo0 UHS 0 0 lo0 192.168.66.4 192.168.66.3 UH 1 197 tun0 192.168.66.7 lo0 UHS 0 0 lo0 192.168.66.8 192.168.66.7 UH 1 1371 tun2 192.168.66.11 lo0 UHS 0 0 lo0 192.168.66.12 192.168.66.11 UH 1 325 tun3 Other than those messages, the VPN is working perfectly fine, but I hate having error messages I don't understand accumulating in the logs.

'RELENG_4' is the name of the CVS branch for FreeBSD 4.x. All the 4.x releases are only snapshots of the RELENG_4 branch, and 4.x-STABLE is the 'human' name of the RELENG_4 branch. I believe that RELENG is somehow derived from 'release engineering'. 'RC' is common software development slang for 'release candidate' - a stage of the life of a development branch when it is deemed so close to release that new features are not added, only bugs and misfeatures are squashed.

I have read/reread "man ftp", but no solution yet. Here is the problem: Here is the simple process needed: #ftp ftp.remotehost.com #auto-login (useracct/userpasswd) #cd /remote.dir #put myoutfile #bye #finished That's all I need to do....!!!! This needs to run unattended through cron or from within a script. By configuring the ".netrc" file, I can auto-logon to the remote host in anonymous mode, but not to the user account. Further, I would need to "cd" to the "incoming" directory to upload anyway. Also, when the cron job issues the command to "ftp ftp.remote.com", it WILL login anonymously and then just sits there without continuing to run the local script calling for a "cd" and upload of "myoutfile". So, no upload of "myoutfile" is possible without some sort of script than continues the process. Now, here is my ".netrc" file: ************************** machine ftp.remotehost.com anonymous macdef (nothing in here yet) ************************** I've tried this instead to go in as user account: ************************** machine remotehost.com (and tried "ftp.remotehost.com) mypasswd macdef (nothing in here yet) ************************** That second "netrc" config tells me to go away, ....others can see my password!!!!! Also, I assume the "macdef" means "macro definition" (wild guess) and there is where I may need a macro to run to finish the upload.... or a command line would be used to call the macro to issue the whole thing. I had some help on this from "Edwin" of this list, but am still struggling... any others that can lend a hand on this to give more clarification? I just want to find a way to send that darn file back to the remote. Thanks in advance for any ideas that my thick head can understand..... Best regards, Jack L.

Can´t get much better guarantee than that. Right - but you have no guarentee that the admin doesen't have BIND misconfigured and that you don't have a situation where the slave transfers the zone file but then refuses to write it to disk. I've sat there and watched secondaries that I've managed do this - the latest version of BIND seems to like to refuse to write out the secondary if there's an error in it (like a CNAME record wrong) Meanwhile the primary nameserver reports a successful zone transfer. > >>The very best way to test that the secondary is in operation WITHOUT >>calling the admin is to simply shut down the primary namserver for a >>couple of days. > >you´re having a bad day, Ted!! :)) > >After looking in the slave´s named.run log file to confirm the zone has >transferred and loaded, doubting Thomases can do this: > >dig @slave.dns zone.in.question SOA > >and see immediately if the SOA s/n is same as on the master.

I agree - which is why I specifically said this WITHOUT calling the admin. The way I always do things is with a brand-new secondary or primary is to call the admin and while he's on the phone I have him increment the serial number then reload his nameserver then I reload mine. (Or vis-versa if he's the secondary) then I confirm that the changed physical secondary file has been written to disk. From that point on I trust DNS replication, but I don't blindly set up secondaries that are remote or primaries that are remote and just trust to the Net Faries to make it happen. It seems to me that this should be the most obvious answer, but I know that some people seem to be afraid of actually talking to the other admin, and prefer to do things electronically. And anyway, the slave will answer with >whatever copy of the zone file it has, which is not necessarily the >master´s version. > If this is happening then basically the secondary nameserver is worthless. The entire point of having a secondary is so that if the unattended primary goes down then the secondary picks up. There's a lot of other things that can happen. Maybe the secondary admin has some rediculous firewalling going on that is blocking DNS queries to his nameserver from everyone but you. Maybe something else. Also, people are starting to use a lot of very weird programs out there anymore for DNS, not everyone is using BIND anymore. Some of those DNS programs - like the Win2K one, permit names that are NOT RFC compliant. I cannot help it that the remote admin doesen't know anything about DNS and is using some piece-o-crap program that is not BIND. But I can help by not assuming that everyone is doing things right. Whatever it is, if your DNS resolution cannot survive with the primary nameserver offline, then you got a REAL problem. If your afraid of stopping the primary nameserver for a few days because you don't trust the secondary, then you've missed the entire point of having primary and secondary nameservers, I'm afraid.

As a spam prevention measure, FreeBSD *requires* that mail come from a host with an IP address with a valid reverse name setup. In my mind, this make a lot more sense than ORBS or DUL, as it allows useful but unusual setups to work if your ISP cooperates, whereas the other two don't. You can use dynamic dns with this, so long as the service provider has reverse DNS set up for your IP address. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

If you can't do it then you shouldn't be secondarying for them. Stop doing it. There's plenty of other DNS servers that aren't so overloaded - your doing a disservice by accepting secondarying on domains that you know you cannot properly handle. While I'm not expecting that you can pick up resolution for all 10,000 zones at once, you certainly should be able to pick up resolution if 10% of them were to go offline at once - and that includes vanity domains and such that hardly ever get queries. If you can't then you need to reduce the number of zones that you secondary for or increase your bandwidth or server power. The Internet already has enough slow, underpowered DNS servers now with everyone and their dog that wants to host websites all attempting to grab as many domain names for their DNS servers as they can. >It's actually shocking how many of the admins of zones that we secondary >don't even realise that their zones are not loading on their servers >after they edited the zone file, and didn't check it for errors! > Yes - we get this too. It's one thing for a primary to be down for a day or so, but if I see one of ours go for longer than that then I test their mailhost to see if it's still alive, and if it is I e-mail the admin. But, don't assume that their zones are not loading in THEIR nameserver - they very well may be. What the really shocking thing is is that there's people writing DNS servers that aren't following the RFC's on DNS or testing interoperability with other DNS servers.

I've had messages bounced while having rdns properly set up. I sometimes get a 'rejected for content' bounce - which is truly puzzling. It isn't a html filter as I don't send html andthere are occasional html mails that do pass through the lists. And as far as spam getting through freebsd mailing lists - well, I think everyone can attest to receiving spam directed at the lists. I don't know why the lists occasionally bounce people's messages, but it does happen and it ain't because of a lack of rdns.

Correct me someone if I'm wrong, but I think that RELENG_XXX tags are CVS tags that are added to the tree from the `Release Engineer' (that's Jordan Hubbard) when a new branch is created from -CURRENT. The RC bit means 'release candidate'. You'll see these popping up during the short period before a release is tagged in the tree from Jordan with the relevant RELENG_XXX_RELEASE name. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 26 13:46:41 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mailsrv.otenet.gr (mailsrv.otenet.gr [195.170.0.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A76E737B409 for ; Sun, 26 Aug 2001 13:46:34 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from keramida@ceid.upatras.gr) Received: from hades.hell.gr (patr530-b050.otenet.gr [195.167.121.178]) by mailsrv.otenet.gr (8.11.5/8.11.5) with ESMTP id f7QKkOC06052; Sun, 26 Aug 2001 23:46:24 +0300 (EEST) Received: (from charon@localhost) by hades.hell.gr (8.11.6/8.11.4) id f7QIZ2064234; Sun, 26 Aug 2001 21:35:02 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from keramida@ceid.upatras.gr) Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2001 21:35:00 +0300 From: Giorgos Keramidas To: Conrad Sabatier Cc: Paul Chvostek , freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: cvsup Message-ID: <20010826213500.A57439@hades.hell.gr> References: <20010825114407.A74195@gahch.it.ca> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: ; from conrads@home.com on Sat, Aug 25, 2001 at 10:53:35AM -0500 X-PGP-Fingerprint: 3A 75 52 EB F1 58 56 0D - C5 B8 21 B6 1B 5E 4A C2 X-URL: http://students.ceid.upatras.gr/~keramida/index.html Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG From: Conrad Sabatier Subject: Re: cvsup Date: Sat, Aug 25, 2001 at 10:53:35AM -0500 > > On 25-Aug-2001 Paul Chvostek wrote: > > > > Sure it'll work...

And we come to the wonderful conclusion that it will work if you `do the proper things'. I've seen a few different definitions of `proper' in this thread. Some of them actually work, too. But we're arguing that `my way to skin cats is better than your way' folk :/ Yes, FreeBSD can be updated. Yes, instructions on CVSup upgrades can be found in many places. But they can also be found at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ and that is the way to go :) -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 26 13:57: 5 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mail.halplant.com (24-168-203-47.wo.cox.rr.com [24.168.203.47]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BBD7737B403 for ; Sun, 26 Aug 2001 13:57:01 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from A.J.Caines@halplant.com) Received: by mail.halplant.com (Postfix, from userid 1001) id 61ED01FD5; Sun, 26 Aug 2001 16:56:50 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2001 16:56:50 -0400 From: Andrew J Caines To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: FreeBSD mailing lists rejecting my message, again...

I have yet to see an ISP who offers dynamic reverse DNS for their IP blocks. For that matter I have yet to see an ISP offer DDNS at all. The ISP will own the reverse domain and will map your IP to something like Obviously, only your ISP can practically do reverse DDNS. The fact that I can post and my forward and reverse names are different seems to imply that maybe just having a reverse entry suffices. I trust that the data shows that this restriction has sufficient benefit to justify excluding users who through no fault of their own don't have a PTR. -Andrew- -- ______________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.

Our school is a user of FreeBSD. Now I want to ask you a question. Whethere does resolv.conf of FreeBSD support "options retry:n timeput:n"? A quick look at the man page for resolv.conf doesn't reveal any such option. >If this resolv.conf can't support it, could you tell me how to cut the time for DNS resolving. DNS resolution is limited by 'Net connectivity. To my knowledge, there isn't any automatic retries built into the DNS server, or the resolver. Retries are initiated by the software. If you want to cut the time on DNS resolution, you must make sure that the connectivity between the client and the DNS host be very good. If you ISP's DNS server sucks big time, you could build a small DNS server on your FreeBSD host, and see whether that helps; mind you, nothing helps like having good connectivity.

First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of it's nature as being utterly confidential and top secret as you were introduced to my family in confidence by a mutual acquaintance in the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce(foreign Trade Division). He does not however know the nature and extent of what I am about to introduce to you.. I am one of the sons of the late Nigerian head of state, General Sani Abacha. I wish to contact you on transfer business involving US$41.5M. Shortly after the death of my father, my mother, Mrs Marian Abacha managed to smuggled this fund (US$41.5M) in cash with the aid of senior officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria via deplomatic passage to one of the European countries. This fund is deposited in a secret financial company's vault awaiting claim upon presentation of ownership details which include the access code and the deplomatic airway bill. The funds can equally be moved from Europe to any country of your choice that is secure and has banking correspondence with the Central Bank of Nigeria. Before proceeding further, I would not fail to tell you that since the death of my father, the government of my country has subjected our family to solitary confinement, which I believe is the most traumatic punisment that can be inflicted on anyone. Our movement has been restricted and all our travelling document seized.We are also placed on strict surveillance. My father and our individual's money in both local and foreign bank accounts have been confiscated by this same government with the assistance of some foreign governments where these funds were deposited.Presently my elder brother, Mohammed is currently facing trial in law court. He has been accused of privy to death of some prominent Nigerians. This accusation of the government is based on the falsified loot alligation levelled against my father of public funds during his era. For fear of any possible discovery of the fund by our government, we are therefore soliciting intrested partner who will front for us, clear the fund from the security company and provide a reliable account in oversea for it accommodation, then claim the beneficiary pending when we shall be able to travel. We have agreed give you 30% of the total fund for your assistance. Should there be any expense incurred by you in the course of this transaction, after it's successful completion, 10% will be deducted from the total fund for the reimbursement before the balance amount could be shared according the percentage. Please note again that this transaction is strictly confidential and as such should be kept secret.Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free as all modalities have been put in place for a smooth and successful conclusion. However, should you be intrested in assisting us, I will not hesistate to furnish you with the access code of the secret account, code which you will present at the security company in Europe. Moreso with this code, you will able to verify and acquire all the necessary information regarding the fund before clearing from the Bank vault and subsequent transfer to your designated bank account either by telegraphice transfer or through cash call programme. Lastly, we are also intrested in a joint venture with our share of the fund in any profitable business pending when we gain the liberty to travel out of the country. I expect your prompt and positive response through my personal tel/fax 234-1774-9158 Yours faithfully, Mallam Sadiq Abacha To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Aug 26 16:47:26 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtp011.mail.yahoo.com (smtp011.mail.yahoo.com [216.136.173.31]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 3AF8537B40A for ; Sun, 26 Aug 2001 16:47:24 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from rmardo@yahoo.com) Received: from unknown (HELO rino) (202.69.161.55) by smtp.mail.vip.sc5.yahoo.com with SMTP; 26 Aug 2001 23:47:20 -0000 X-Apparently-From: Message-ID: <005801c12e8c$040acb80$37a145ca@rino> From: "Rino Mardo" To: "Giorgos Keramidas" , "Duke Normandin" <01031149@3web.net> Cc: "Peter Pentchev" , References: <20010825175631.C559@ringworld.oblivion.bg> <20010825181134.E559@ringworld.oblivion.bg> <20010825143631.B257941@mandy.rockingd.calgary.ab.ca> <20010826214234.B57439@hades.hell.gr> Subject: Re: cvsup RELENG_4 = 4.4-RC1 ?

When I try to browse site within umbc.edu (www.umbc.edu, my.umbc.edu, userpages.umbc.edu, research.umbc.edu), all I seem to get is timeouts. I read about a problem with packets not getting back in earlier versions of PPPoE but, that it had been fixed. When using Netscape or IE to browse from one of my PC's these websites timeout, telnetting to port 80 (telnet www.umbc.edu 80) and sending "GET / HTTP/1.0" gives the same results. If I telnet from the gateway (I'm not running X) and do a GET, I receive the expected HTML with not problems. I have used "sniffit" on my gateways internal interface and nothing seems to be coming back. When I tried to sniff my external interface or tun0 I get nothing at all.

Yes. The announcement that Jordan himself posted, explains things more clearly. So, you should go read that.

I've had a wild ride through FreeBSD-land today, and the end is not yet in sight...sadly, my original problem is still with me. To recap: I have two Win98 PC's with SMC 1244TX 10/100 NICs, connected by a single crossover cable (cat 5) with no hub. They happily ping each other with sub-millisecond response times and 0% packet loss. I have a third PC, a 200 MHz Pentium, on which I just installed FreeBSD 4.2. This PC has a 3Com 3c509b NIC in it. When I hooked up the FreeBSD PC in place of one of the WinDoze machines, the WinDoze machine failed to ping the FreeBSD machine at all; the FreeBSD machine occasionally get a return packet from the WinDoze machine, with about 10 to 20 *seconds* delay, and a 60% - 95% packet loss rate :( In response to the various email suggestions I got regarding my problem, I did the following today: 1) Ran dmesg and found out that all was not well - there appeared to be both ep0 and ep1 devices, and an ep0: No irq?! message. On close inspection I noticed that the USB controller was on irq 10, and that there was an entry "Sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x300>. Since ep0 was trying to also use irq 10 and I/O Ox300, there appeared to be conflicts here. I eventually fixed this by downloading 3c5x9cfg.exe and pnpdsabl.bat from the 3Com website, turning off PnP on the ethernet card, then configuring it to irq 5 and I/0 Ox320. Rebooted to FreeBSD, ran dmesg, no errors. So far so good. 2) Looked in /etc/rc.conf and found multiple entries for the non-existent ep1, but none for ep0. Took out the wrong entries, put in the line "ifconfig_ep0="inet 192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 media 10baseT/UTP". So my card should now be correctly set up and forced to 10MHz, half-duplex. 3)Went to my Windoze machine, configured the SMC 1244TX 10/100 card to also run at 10 MHz, half-duplex. End result? The FreeBSD machine now can ping the WinDoze machine with response times ranging from one *second* to 60 *seconds* and a packet loss of between 95% and 65%. The longer I let the pinging go on, the better the packet loss number becomes, i.e it goes from 95% to 65% over several minutes of pinging. The Windoze machine now can ping the FreeBSD machine about once in every 25 tries; packet loss is about 95%, round trip times between one second and 4 seconds. Anyone have any more suggestions? I seem to have tried all the ones I got or could think of. Incidentally, I searched the mailing list archives for questions related to 3c509 cards, and found several messages relating similar problems to mine, but apparently everyone else got their network to work once they followed all the steps I took above. Unfortunately it hasn't worked for me yet! Is it time to get another NIC, this one of the PCI persuasion?

I think you've missed the point. You *are* afraid to switch the master nameserver off because you *don't* trust the slave and the whole point of the exercise is to find out if the slave really is working or not. Switching off the master in order to see if the slave is working is dumb because if it turns out that the slave isn't working then you have no DNS. Obviously if everything is working then you should be able to switch the master off, but the purpose of this exercise is to safely determine that everything's working in the first place. You're approach is like suggesting that you wipe your disk and try to restore from your backup in order to prove that your backups are working properly.

This allows XWindows to start. I can type XFree86 -configure and it generates a config file that will start XWindows like the documentation says. This gives me a gray hatched screen with an "X" cursor which can be controlled with the mouse. However KDE won't run, I added the line to start kde to the .xinitrc file and I saw KDE Begin to start the first time. The screen went blue, and I saw a KDE dialog box as it seemed to start building its configuration files, but eventually the screen went to a solid dark gray with no cursor. I have to hit Ctrl-Alt-Bkspace to get back to a prompt. Now when I type startx I see the hatched screen and "X" cursor for a second, then it switches to the dark gray blank screen. It also switches to the same screen with the default .xinitrc file that starts twm instead of kde. Is this a problem with kde or Xwindows? I installed both xwindows and kde from packages on the 4.3 CD. Are there known bugs in the package of KDE distributed on the 4.3 CD? Any suggestions?

If I run just the XFree86 it stops with the gray "hatched" background and the X cursor, which is controlled with the mouse. If my .xinitrc starts kde, or I erase the .xinitrc and let it start the default of twm the result is the same. I quick flash of the gray hatched screen with X cursor, followed by the solid dark gray screen with no cursor. The only way out from there is to hit Ctrl-Alt-BkSp.

All it will do is answer that the secondary is indeed ansdering queries - to the person on the secondary that is issuing nslookup or dig or whatever he's issuing, at the particular moment he's issuing it. It simply does NOT answer the question of will anybody ELSE on the Internet indeed be able to use the secondary like they are supposed to do - to provide resolution for the domain should the primary go offline. >You're approach is like suggesting that you wipe your disk and try to >restore from your backup in order to prove that your backups are working >properly. > This isn't a parallel because wiping the disk is destructive. Switching off the primary DNS does not destroy anything. What YOU are saying is that if someone does a backup that simply running a compare on it is good enough, and that it's not necessary to do an actual restore (to a blank machine) to really test that the backup system is indeed working. Your also deliberately ignoring that the original poster indicated that he wasn't willing to pick up the phone and call the admin of the primary (or even e-mail the admin of the primary) to do it the right way. I made it clear in the original posting and subsequently that any kind of testing or instrumentation was inferior to actually verifying by voice with the other nameserver admin. You would probably continue to argue that once he's verified that things "work" through the inferior method of attempting to query the nameserver, that he should STILL not switch off the primary for a few days to make absolutely sure that things really do work. All I can say is that backup systems are NEVER properly tested if you don't actually cut over to them to make the test. It's like testing a UPS. APC makes a great line of UPS's that have all sorts of fancy "test" modes that claim to test the UPS - but if your going to put that UPS into a hospital and have it control some surgical equipment, you test it by pulling the plug. You don't trust someone's life to what some dumb $5.00 computer says in a UPS.

Hi Clarence, I am sorry to say this but you _really_ have to go through the paces with xfree86config to generate an XF86Config whose details you're sure of. That file will be in /etc/X11/=20 It's very rare that the file generated for you by XFree86 -configure will run. For one it doesn't know your monitor's Hsync/VSync rates. I don't know how it guesses what your VGA card it but I'm still sure that file you're trying to use never runs 'out-of-the-box'. I run Kde2.2 here but also run twm, xfce and a couple of other window managers. All that is needed is a sane XF86Config.

This token functions like the ftp macdef com- mand functions. A macro is defined with the specified name; | its contents begin with the next .netrc line and continue until | a null line (consecutive new-line characters) is encountered. If a macro named init is defined, it is automatically executed as the last step in the auto-login process. So add an extra empty line to it and everything will be sweet.

You can also type the first 8 characters and anything else after that, for example if the password were password, one could type: 'passwordxxxxxxx' and be able to login! I'm not too worried as this is only a test machine that I keep on my internal network, however, I would like to know how it works... Is this normal? How does one disable this?

Idea is > obvious: Sharing disk and partition resources in mixed OS setups. Currently swapon(8) refuses to swap to anything which is not a FreeBSD swap partition. Linux is not so fussy, so it seems the solution is to change the Linux swap partition type to a FreeBSD slice and create a single FreeBSD swap partition within the slice. This works fine for FreeBSD, of course; the only possible problem I can see is that Linux will overwrite the partition info. I'd be interested if anybody can confirm or deny this.

The problem you are seeing is most probably a corrupted floppy disk, or a corrupted image. Try writing the mfsroot.flp image to another disk, then if this fails, try downloading mfsroot.flp again.

Ok, with a new installation I agree that testing in that way is a sensible step but if you're just changing zone data it's not. Even if the slave works, there'd be significant degradation of service if the master was taken offline because the resolver will round robin the connections to the nameservers and will have to timeout connecting to the master. BIND resolvers favour the most resonsive nameserver, typically the master so that compounds the problem. > But your suggestion simply won't do that.

It simply does NOT answer the > question of will anybody ELSE on the Internet indeed be able to use the > secondary like they are supposed to do - to provide resolution for the > domain should the primary go offline. but I thought that's what the original question asked, "how do you check that the slave has done the zone transfer successfully?" If you can query the slave with dig and you can see the changes then it's done the zone transfer and your setup is working. You really don't need to switch the master off to do that. DNS doesn't have a failover mechanism. They're not really primary and secondary, they're master and slave. The distinction is that the master holds the master copies of the data and the slave doesn't. In answering queries they are round-robined so you don't need to switch off the master to see if the slave suddenly starts answering queries because it has to be answering queries all the time. When you add/change a zone you want to be able to check that you've configured all the nameservers properly to pick up the changes and it *is* sufficient to query each nameserver in turn to see if they have the new zone data. Switching off the master doesn't do anything more to prove that zone transfers are working over using nslookup/dig. You're point above argues that switching off the master is the only way to ensure that connectivity from all around the internet is working to your slave. That wasn't the original point of the dicussion but nevertheless, I still can't see what switching off the master will do over testing the nameservers using nslookup from several different points on the internet. You can't test from everywhere, no tool can do that, but if you do some tests from different points you can be pretty sure there's no fundamental misconfiguration on your side of things. Switching off the master doesn't prove anything beyond that. > Your also deliberately ignoring that the original poster indicated that he > wasn't willing to pick up the phone and call the admin of the primary (or > even e-mail the admin of the primary) to do it the right way. I made it > clear in the original posting and subsequently that any kind of testing or > instrumentation was inferior to actually verifying by voice with the other > nameserver admin. That's not always practical. If you know the sysadmin who's running your nameserver then yes you can do that, though again, you won't find out anything that nslookup can't tell you. In a lot of cases though getting to speak to the admin is impossible. If your nameserver is with an ISP then invariably you can't get through to the people who actually run the systems. > You would probably continue to argue that once he's verified that things > "work" through the inferior method of attempting to query the nameserver, > that he should STILL not switch off the primary for a few days to make > absolutely sure that things really do work.

What you're seeing is probably the modules: they are all built by default, including the sound modules and go into /modules. However, they are not loaded by default (you can check with 'kldstat'). If you don't want to build any modules, define NOMODULES. Karel.

The kernel build procedure builds all modules, whether they are linked into the kernel or not (they go into /modules, available for dynamic loading). To see what modules are part of the running kernel, do: % kldstat -v -i 1 A grep for "snd" should show whether sound drivers are linked in or not. A plain "kldstat" will show all dynamically loaded modules. $.02, /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 27 5:43:47 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mailsrv.otenet.gr (mailsrv.otenet.gr [195.170.0.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B8F3337B407 for ; Mon, 27 Aug 2001 05:43:34 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from keramida@ceid.upatras.gr) Received: from hades.hell.gr (patr530-a105.otenet.gr [212.205.215.105]) by mailsrv.otenet.gr (8.11.5/8.11.5) with ESMTP id f7RChU316610; Mon, 27 Aug 2001 15:43:31 +0300 (EEST) Received: (from charon@localhost) by hades.hell.gr (8.11.6/8.11.4) id f7RCLoZ00735; Mon, 27 Aug 2001 15:21:50 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from keramida@ceid.upatras.gr) Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2001 15:21:49 +0300 From: Giorgos Keramidas To: Web Masters Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: /var/log/messages error Message-ID: <20010827152149.A614@hades.hell.gr> References: <20010825210114.5499.qmail@web10401.mail.yahoo.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: <20010825210114.5499.qmail@web10401.mail.yahoo.com>; from webmaster2080@yahoo.com on Sat, Aug 25, 2001 at 02:01:14PM -0700 X-PGP-Fingerprint: 3A 75 52 EB F1 58 56 0D - C5 B8 21 B6 1B 5E 4A C2 X-URL: http://students.ceid.upatras.gr/~keramida/index.html Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG From: Web Masters Subject: Re: /var/log/messages error Date: Sat, Aug 25, 2001 at 02:01:14PM -0700 > This happens every night, any idea how to fix it? > (Hardware or software prob) > > Aug 26 04:53:34 global /kernel: panic: pmap_new_proc: u_map allocation failed > Aug 26 04:53:34 global /kernel: > Aug 26 04:53:34 global /kernel: syncing disks... 10 > > - system reboots - You are running out of memory, probably because too many processes have been created. The message that your kernel prints before it panics is printed by /usr/src/sys/i386/i386/pmap.c: void pmap_new_proc(p) struct proc *p; { ... if (up == NULL) panic("pmap_new_proc: u_map allocation failed"); p->p_addr = up; ... } The pmap_new_proc() function is called by vm_glue.c as can be seen in the code fragment from /usr/src/sys/vm/vm_glue.c below: void vm_fork(p1, p2, flags) struct proc *p1, *p2; int flags; { ... pmap_new_proc(p2); ... } To make a long story short, you have too many fork()'s running at the moment the panic happens. Read the comments about MAXUSERS option in your kernel configuration, and build a kernel that can handle more processes :-) -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 27 5:43:44 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mailsrv.otenet.gr (mailsrv.otenet.gr [195.170.0.5]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E0D3737B40A for ; Mon, 27 Aug 2001 05:43:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from keramida@ceid.upatras.gr) Received: from hades.hell.gr (patr530-a105.otenet.gr [212.205.215.105]) by mailsrv.otenet.gr (8.11.5/8.11.5) with ESMTP id f7RChN316439; Mon, 27 Aug 2001 15:43:27 +0300 (EEST) Received: (from charon@localhost) by hades.hell.gr (8.11.6/8.11.4) id f7RCTMm00799; Mon, 27 Aug 2001 15:29:22 +0300 (EEST) (envelope-from keramida@ceid.upatras.gr) Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2001 15:29:22 +0300 From: Giorgos Keramidas To: Marius Kirschner Cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: IRC server Message-ID: <20010827152922.B614@hades.hell.gr> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: ; from marius@agoron.com on Sun, Aug 26, 2001 at 10:09:20PM -0400 X-PGP-Fingerprint: 3A 75 52 EB F1 58 56 0D - C5 B8 21 B6 1B 5E 4A C2 X-URL: http://students.ceid.upatras.gr/~keramida/index.html Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG From: Marius Kirschner Subject: IRC server Date: Sun, Aug 26, 2001 at 10:09:20PM -0400 > I want to set up an IRC server on my box, mainly to play around with it. > What's a good server that's part of the ports? You can install hybrid ircd from the ports (irc/ircd-hybrid). I've also successfully installed bahamut (http://bahamut.dal.net), and Undernet's own uircd (http://www.undernet.org) , by compiling them myself.

My system is 4.3 release. I've tried using newfs to create a Unix file system on the disk: # newfs -v /dev/rcd0c but I get an error message that it can't write the disk label.

I.e., after newfs(8) run, I can use the `c' partition of the DVD RAM media as I would use it on my hard drive. It was also my understanding that for DVD RAM, FreeBSD constructs a fake disklabel, on the fly, hence no need to write it to the media. > I've tried > # dump -f /dev/rcd0c /usr > but it tells me that I need 12 volumes.

What is the equavalent file on FreeBSD ? Is there a system call that will return mounted file systems? I also see that the order I include files in does matter. doing #include #include #include gives me errors in ucred.h. Swappign mount.h and param.h around fixes the problem. Why is this ? I thought that order didn't matter. -- Wayne Pascoe Phone : +44 (0) 20 7017 1221 Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. - Yeats To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Mon Aug 27 7:30:11 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from hotmail.com (oe45.law12.hotmail.com [64.4.18.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 57B0837B40B for ; Mon, 27 Aug 2001 07:29:55 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from default013subscriptions@hotmail.com) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Mon, 27 Aug 2001 07:29:55 -0700 X-Originating-IP: [24.14.93.185] Reply-To: "default" From: "default" To: "Rohit Panda" , References: <20010827121416.63892.qmail@web12802.mail.yahoo.com> Subject: Re: installation problem Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2001 09:23:03 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0046_01C12ED9.DF712640" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4807.1700 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4807.1700 Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 27 Aug 2001 14:29:55.0162 (UTC) FILETIME=[BDABEBA0:01C12F04] Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0046_01C12ED9.DF712640 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Rohit, I don't think that will work... It looks to me like you are having a hardware issue.

Your computer will not recognize /dev/x because it cannot use the hard = drive controller (or your hard drive, I would say that its more likely = that the problem is the controller). What you need to do is this: 1. Make images of kern.flp and mfsroot.flp onto floppies (you need a = working mac
