This is not a bad idea but if the OS is planned for a Firewall the idea of accessing the firewall via the web (even if its on an internal ONLY network device) is something I would tend to avoid, most commercial firewall products afaik dont go for such features (least when last I worked on them , now all firewalls are FreeBSD ipf based unless otherwise demanded). Allowing the system to be compromised through a service that need not be on a firewall is something best avoided.

Squid would do fine just depends on where the firewall is implemented and the traffic it crunches through as well as the hardware platform would be a consideration, remember Squid can go awry with resources and you dont want your firewall and network performance affected by that, > 7. intrusion detection - snort or something like that. again always a good idea, monitor as much as possible and keep an eye on it, > 8. upgrade etc. could take some time to perfect a few scripts to update your "customised" release (which I would assume is stripped down from the original FreeBSD build and altered), but as someone else on the list has initiated me into looking into seems a lot less difficult than it may seem:) > 9.

To make it related to FreeBSD, I name it > "FreeFirewall" :) You might have guess it. :P Security is a must. If you looking to make a Firewall that can be configured via a web interface try Webmin (and write your own module) just a dedicated "secure" firewall imho should avoid that, stick to console only GUI (curses or non-listening X) or CLI mode. I also know not all admins are as savvy as others and may need a remote X gui but that can be tackled later or if you really want to know just mail me or the list and I will give my 2c worth.Just if you say security is a must local access to the firewall rules would be best, or SSH. > This is my Final Year Project.

I havent seen/used SNF but know of some one who has, havent gotten an opinion from him yet just how it performed, will do though thats for sure, e-smith however is nice but a freebsd type implementation could be so much better, and Id personally be willing to dedicate time to a project like this as its what I do in my daily work anyways, taking FreeBSD then hardening and firewalling it and placing them in small to medium networks (ranging from 10machines to around 100), and would make my life (and Im sure hundreds others) lives a lot easier. FreeBSD also has a step-up on linux imho with a simpler update path to any linux distro I have used by far (and I have been on linux a fair while before converting). > Now, come to what I want to ask. :) Please give comments, constructive > suggestion, links, article, whatever so that I can make this project a > reality.

Flame should be okay :) I could go on about this topic for hours (if I havent already) but atleast I gave my input hope it was valuable, if anyone wants to continue this would me feel free. YES id be glad to volunteer time to this project (if I were good enough and had the time Id dedicate time to FreeBSD developement itself but alas Id be dwarfed by the current team, kudos to them).

If you need to use those, you should install the ports, not replace the versions in the base system. Unlike other Unix-like systems, FreeBSD is built, tested and provided as a complete system, not a collection of packages running on top of a kernel from a bunch of different development groups. The downside of this, as you've noticed, is that the versions of contributed software in the base system tend to lag behind the version from the developers. The upside, which you apparently also noticed, is that the base system is more stable and easier to manage than things built using the alternative system. Updating perl seems to work ok, but people have reported bad things happening when compiling the system with gcc 3.0. > And one more, what do you think about my english?

Not perfect, but better than some who speak english as a first language.

I seem to continiously trick myself trying to rewrite my /etc/exports. Done this before. Can't be that hard. I thought. Have dealt with a diskless client a few times. I'm a crack. I thought. As it seems, it has always been a single nfs client, so I never got my toes trodden on. And much of this has been before Release 3. However, I don't like my feet feeling flat, and now I wanna know. When I get stuck like this, I usually consult the archives and do a little bit of looking about. So I do know that http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/networking.html#EXPORTS-ERRORS exists, and I have read quite some mails. However, I persistently seem to miss the point. What I intended to do is to consider the i[3-6]86 as separate architectures (I don't want to discuss this in particular) and share as many directories (i. e. the same export on the server) among the machines of a particular architecture. Obviously, /usr/src, /usr/ports and /home (which actually is /usr/home here) should be one exported directory on the server which is used for all clients. The server currently runs 4.3-STABLE (FreeBSD fileserv 4.3-STABLE FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #0: Sun May 6 16:33:59 CEST 2001 root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/FILESERV i386, cvsup'ed just before the build started). It has a large vinum-made /usr but no much else of excitement: # mount /dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local) /dev/vinum/usr on /usr (ufs, NFS exported, local) /dev/ad2s1e on /R (ufs, local) procfs on /proc (procfs, local) # (more frequent kernel updates are a little bit of a pain and a risk because of vinum). So my first approach was about the following which resulted in the usual errors (mark&paste, sorry): ---------- SNIP SNIP ---------- # This would allow mounts anywhere in /usr, unconditionally. #/usr -alldirs petra luis router nosbox # # I like this a little better since it's sligthly more restrictive. # Admittedly, path names are a bit lengthy... # These are common to all clients. # Until we know better, allow uid root access to ports and src. /usr/src /usr/ports -maproot=0:0 router petra luis # Users are evil, so try without maproot=0:0 for the time being. /usr/home router petra luis # root filesystems are read-only.

It's horribly messy and almost unmaintainable, anyways. So... I'm stuck it seems. All docs and books I read don't seem to bring enlightment. So, my questions are... ... why don't we support something like the first attempt? (Please don't answer that we can only export file systems which I know and does not help me much) ... what have people done in a similar situation, in particular, how did you manage to export the same dir with different options to different hosts while having other exports with the same ones to the same hosts? Could you provide me with an example? ... what are the implications of -alldirs? Particularly, how would I restrict write access to a few particular dirs, depending on the client? ... why can't I get my grips on this??? After all those years, I don't consider myself a bloody BSE-beginner... Well. Thanks for reading this far. Best regards, Peter. P. S.: Please do include my addres in replies, I seemingly am not allowed To fiddle with my email headers in this webmail... Thanks!

How much swap you need depend on how much RAM you have and the memory requirements of the programs you run. The general rule of thumb is that swap should be twice as large as the amount of physical RAM in the machine. The idea behind that rule is that if you have less than that you risk running out of swap and if you need more swap than that your machine is probably going to swap so much that it will slow down to a standstill. This might be adjusted up or down depending on various things. For example if you have very little memory you might want a larger swap partition so that you can handle temporary amounts of large memory usage. (Running out of swap is Not Fun.) If you have a lot of RAM on the other hand you might not need any swap at all. The only downside of creating a large swap-partition is that that portion of the disk is no longer usable for files. I think there are limits to how much swap one can have configured but I think that limit is somewhare around the 20-30 GB mark. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 7 5:41:54 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from guru.mired.org (okc-65-31-203-60.mmcable.com [65.31.203.60]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 7564437B401 for ; Sun, 7 Oct 2001 05:41:52 -0700 (PDT) Received: (qmail 27741 invoked by uid 100); 7 Oct 2001 12:41:49 -0000 From: Mike Meyer MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <15296.19853.478330.391538@guru.mired.org> Date: Sun, 7 Oct 2001 07:41:49 -0500 To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: svgalib applications?

For the moment, you can just use: % xhost +localhost before you su to root.

That's hard to do, because the shell is a tool for tying together all the tools that you have available. That varies far to much to keep track of. My two favorite books on this topic are "Unix Power Tools" by Jerry Peek et. al., and "The Unix Programming Environment" by Kernighan and Pike. > Or maybe tell me if and how I can call on PHP scripts to do what I want? So > far everything I read on PHP is web server based. Well, you might consider a script that does the web interactions. For instance, if you have to fill out a single form and submit it, and the program that handles it will work with a GET, you can construct a URL and use fetch in the base system to do it. If you need to do a POST or do authentication, then consider using Python and the urllib module, which will handle all those things. Since it doesn't depend on a lot of external tools, the comprehensive reference guides are the language and library references. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?

If the former, is it them better to > minimize the # of entries (not going to any special effort, but in > general...) in a certain directory? > Accessing files in a directory with many entries is slow. This is because a linear search is used to find a file within a directory. The time to access a file is therefore proportional to the number of entries in the directory. This does not mean that one should go to great length to minimize the number of entries in a directory since there is not much difference between 10 or 20 or 100 entries. I would say that the practical limit for how many entries on can have in a single directory without things getting too slow is somewhere around 3000. ( Directories usually becomes fairly unwieldy for humans at a couple of hundred files so I would say that anything above, say, 500 entries in a single directory should be avoided unless one has a specific reason for putting that many files in one directory.) It can also be worth noting that there are some (experimental) code in the kernel to speed up access in large directories by using a hashtable but this is not enabled by default. (options UFS_DIRHASH in the kernel config file). -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 7 10: 0:31 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from internet.simplifiedtechnology.com (internet.simplifiedtechnology.com [207.21.31.250]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3650237B408 for ; Sun, 7 Oct 2001 10:00:03 -0700 (PDT) Received: from stcinc.com ([10.2.1.2]) by internet.simplifiedtechnology.com (8.10.2/8.10.2) with ESMTP id f97HJce06372; Sun, 7 Oct 2001 10:19:38 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <3BC08C83.6DC5E228@stcinc.com> Date: Sun, 07 Oct 2001 10:10:27 -0700 From: Gregory Carvalho Organization: Simplified Technology Company X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 [en] (X11; I; FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "J.

The keyboard layout in X and in the console are independent of each other. For XFree 3.x you should make sure that you have something like the following in /etc/XF86Config Section "Keyboard" Protocol "Standard" AutoRepeat 500 30 LeftAlt Meta RightAlt Meta ScrollLock Compose RightCtl Control XkbKeycodes "xfree86" XkbTypes "default" XkbCompat "default" XkbSymbols "us(pc101)" XkbGeometry "pc" XkbRules "xfree86" XkbModel "pc105" XkbLayout "se" XkbOptions "ctrl:nocaps" EndSection Note especially the 'XkbLayout "se"' line. I think the above will work for XFree86 4.x too but I am not sure. (It seems the above syntax is obsolete but still supported in 4.x and that one should use 'Section "InputDevice"' instead. 'man 5 XF86Config' should give more info if you have XFree 4.x installed.) -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 7 10:17:54 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from smtp-send.myrealbox.com (smtp-send.myrealbox.com [192.108.102.143]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E82EC37B405 for ; Sun, 7 Oct 2001 10:17:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Jeian [4.34.234.82] by myrealbox.com with NIMS ModWeb Module; Sun, 07 Oct 2001 13:17:44 -0400 Subject: Re: RE: HELP!

How did this happen, and how can I fix it? =09This isn't all that unusual, at least the part about a FAT32 partition being considered Non-DOS by DOS' fdisk. 98 was the beginning of the horrendous abhoration called FAT32, and isn't exactly backwards compatible. =09Are you sure the Windows partition is FAT32?

Well, you missed the two most important tools: sed and awk. Awk is sufficient to be a scripting language unto itself, but it's also vary useful for manipulating data on lines. Other things to look at are rs, cut, paste, and colrm. Or are those the things you mean when you say "and the like"?

You don't need to create a port, you just need to install the one in lang/python. Python is very portable - far more portable than most shell or perl scripts. > What I need to know is this. What tools can sh use to telnet. Look in the ports tree. Expect talking to telnet is the conventional solution, but there's netscript, ncat, suckblow, tcpcat and ucspi-tcp could all be used to do the job. You can also considering mounting using the tcp portal which is in the base system. See the mount_portal man page for details. > I also need to know what tools sh can use in order to create a file and > write data to it from the query. Mysql has - well, had when I last used it 3 years ago - a command line interface. You write scripts in SQL and feed them to that. The python modules to access MySQL databases are in the ports tree as well. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh? A: Tell them your plans.

I think the drivers know about the CDROM. Question: Can you mount a CD9660 filesystem on the CDROM drive? If so this would mean that the ATA/ATAPI drivers are not the problem. It would then be the case that the problem is with your soundcard: If you look in LINT which can be found in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf you will find entries about various bridge drivers for sound cards. There is a driver called sbc that supports SoundBlaster, ESS, and etc. It also gives an example entry for a soundblaster non-PnP isa card. You will no doubt have to modify the port, irq, drq and flags entries to correspond to your card. See the manpage pcm(4) and sbc(4) for a discussion of these entries. After you decide on the appropriate bridge driver, you need to make a new kernel. See the handbook for this.

Much of the problem with /etc/exports is that the syntax gives the impression that you can have much more fine-grained control over exports than is actually possible. NFS access control essentially consists of one rule per local filesystem, per remote host. Once any part of a local filesystem is exported to a particular remote host, that remote host effectively has access to the whole local filesystem, even if you only allow mounting from particular nodes within the filesystem. Access is of course restricted by -ro/-maproot/-mapall settings too. So if /usr is a single filesystem and you have an entry in /etc/exports that reads /usr/home /usr/foo/bar /usr/foo2/bar1 host1 then from a security point of view, you might as well have: /usr -alldirs host1 Specifying a list of nodes within a single filesystem limits what directories can be used in a mount operation on the remote host, but the remote host could still get the filehandle for /usr/foo/bar and repeatedly look up ".." to get to the root of the exported filesystem (you need a special nfs client to do this). It seems that for your configuration, the best you can do is equivalent to having just the line: /usr -alldirs -maproot=0:0 petra router luis If you want tighter access control, you will need to split up /usr into different filesystems. That is unfortunately just the way NFS works. It might be possible to implement a system that virtualises the view of the filesystem exported to the remote client to "fix" this, but doing this would be quite a lot of work. (NFS requests from the client contain a filehandle that specifies which file is being accessed. From the filehandle, the NFS server code extracts a filesystem and an inode. It checks if the sender of the request is allowed to perform the requested operation on the filesystem specified by the filehandle, and if so it does it. There is no mechanism in place that could determine whether the client is allowed access to a particular inode; the NFS server in the kernel isn't even told what directories in a filesystem are exported, and even if it was, checking that an inode is within an allowed directory is not easy).

I believe no-one on the planet knows the right answer...lol. Take your pick... 1) The same size as the amount of ram you have 2) -ditto- 1) but plus a "bit" 3) Twice the size of the Ram you have 4) -ditto 3) but plus a "bit" 5) Your mother's favourite number plus 100 I don't think you create a problem by having too large a swap space (unless you are really tight on disk space). It is more critical on machines with a "small" amount of ram that you have enough for swapping, quite what "small" means depends on what you are using the system for. Super-annuated programs like "netscape" eat memory like it is going out of fashion. I always choose option 3) .. I like the sound of it .. hee hee. It is somewhat ridiculous that I have 512MB of RAM and 1 Gig of swap space, but I have a big disk .. so ... Btw I am not sure what FBSD does, but UN*X type systems usually just randomly assasinate processes when they run out of virtual memory (i.e. real memory + swap). -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 7 11:31:52 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from post.mail.nl.demon.net (post-10.mail.nl.demon.net [194.159.73.20]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D84D737B405 for ; Sun, 7 Oct 2001 11:31:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [212.238.77.116] (helo=buffy.raggedclown.net) by post.mail.nl.demon.net with esmtp (Exim 3.22 #1) id 15qIiH-0003FL-00; Sun, 07 Oct 2001 18:31:46 +0000 Received: by tanya.raggedclown.net (Ragged Clown Mailhost, from userid 500) id EBC66104A; Sun, 7 Oct 2001 20:20:56 +0200 (CEST) Date: Sun, 7 Oct 2001 20:20:56 +0200 From: Cliff Sarginson To: David Banning Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: sound card / network irq conflict Message-ID: <20011007202056.A2960@tanya.raggedclown.intra> References: <20010802140702.A449@sympatico.ca> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.16i In-Reply-To: <20010802140702.A449@sympatico.ca>; from david@skytrackercanada.com on Thu, Aug 02, 2001 at 02:07:02PM -0400 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 On Thu, Aug 02, 2001 at 02:07:02PM -0400, David Banning wrote: > Both sound card and ethernet want irq 5 > If I take out the network card the sound works OK. > The ethernet card just seems to take 5 - it is not set in the kernel. > The sound card I can set, but then I get other errors; > > Aug 2 13:07:12 d /kernel: pcm1: play interrupt timeout, channel dead > > I've tried using 9 and 8 as replacement irq's. > > Any idea what my next step is? > Hi The network card is an ISA I presume. In which case it may need to be configured to use another IRQ etc. Usually you get a disk with an ISA card that allows you to set it up (you have to run it under DOS).

You may think, but from what's been said previously on this list, that single filter alone blocks around one spam message every three minutes. I think we'd all agree that that is "A Good Thing". That said, I'm not an admin of the mail server at freebsd.org, and I'm sure they would be more qualified to answer as to whether (and why) other methods of blocking spam do or do not work.

So, if I would install X-3.3.6, how could I deinstall it after the support for my video card will be included in X-4.1.0??? Is it possible to deinstal it at and not affect my system, i.e. return to "just installed" base system??? One more, could you explain me, what does it mean: In one web site ("x.org") X Windows named as X11R6.6 and in another ("xfree86.org") - XFree86-4.1.0, why????????? Many thanks for all - Ed.

Make sure all of the shell variables that rc.firewall references are properly set. You may want to create a shell script that does it, or create a shell script that completely takes over IPFW configuration and run it from rc.firewall/rc.local/whatever on startup. In the latter case you'd basically rerun that script... > 2.

Get to that shell when the system asks you, rename /etc/rc.conf to something else and exit the shell. The system will start using the settings from /etc/defaults/rc.conf and those are basically sane (unless you have played with them too ;) After the system starts, you can just fix your /etc/rc.conf and reboot to have the new configuration take effect.

If you are sending through an ISP SMTP mail server, then harang your ISP as they should have reverse DNS set for their mail server. If you are sending through your own server, then I'm not entirely sure how you would fix it. This mail did indeed not come through to the list, and only came to me. I've cc'd it back to questions for you. Hope this helps somewhat.

Why not just use your ISPs mail server for all your mail as everyone else on dial up or behind a NAT does? As far as I know there are not many reasons to use a mail server in either of your situations you described before (on a dial up or behind a NAT out of public namespace). I think I'm right in saying mailservers should be constantly reachable in public and at the same IP/hostname, and in either of those situations this is not the case. Why do you choose not to use the ISPs mail server? (genuinely interested to know what benefits there are to running your server locally when you're on dialup/behind a NAT, other than the ability to spam with more impunity) > > and regarding the last point, it is primarily > > a user responsibility to filter mail, thinking > > along practical lines of rights and freedoms. > > since when is it a "server" responsibility??? Er....we're not talking about peoples personal email accounts here - if we were then you'd have a perfectly good point - we're talking about a mailing list with a specific topic and I for one am VERY happy that the spam-every-three-minutes does not make it onto the list. > > i would strongly suggest that it is a users > > right and responsibility to read or delete > > their emails as they deem necessary, not > > and ISP/server responsibility to do it for him/her. Indeed, and if my ISP started scanning emails in my email account in this way, without my request, I would be justifiably very annoyed. However if I signed up for a mailing list and 80% of the traffic on it was spam, I'd just unsubscribe. The list would become unusable. I don't have much of a problem with spam on most of my email addresses, so haven't bothered to set up filtering to automatically remove it. You're suggesting that if I want to be a member of freebsd-questions I should HAVE to run anti-spam filtering myself because it's *immoral* for the list owner to do it?? Absolutely ridiculous, I'm afraid. > > why does everyone seem to appear to depend on authority > > to protect their rights and freedoms in exchange > > for maintaining them and protecting them for themselves? > > it should be well established at this time in history that > > the protection and maintenance of rights and freedoms is > > an individual personal responsibilty, and when we rely on > > authority for that purpose - we end up with no rights and > > no freedoms, and everything is a big kludge. What on earth are you talking about? The right of spammers to spam the list? The freedom for us to receive spam if we so choose? Excuse me but I personally think that that is the most stupid, selfish argument I've ever heard for reducing the controls on the list. You aren't a spammer yourself are you, because you really are sounding like one....running a mail server on a dial up account? running a mail server incorrectly set up without reverse DNS? We're not talking about the right to peaceful protest, or the freedom of the press here, we're talking about a mailing list, and it is the owner of the lists perogative (if not duty) to ensure that reasonable efforts are made to keep the list in order, which to my mind without ANY shread of doubt includes filtering out any spam or would-be spam, even if that DOES mean filtering out the very few people who insist on using their own, badly set up, mail servers when there really is no good reason to do so. > > if you don't like junk email, why not delete it yourself (manually > > or via personal filter) - and keep things free from authority and kludges? > > we should all know that when we ask authority to maintain our > > freedoms and rights we end up with no rights and no freedoms. I cannot believe how angry reading this is making me...I'm absolutely fuming and for no good reason either. You are talking the most absolute trash I've ever heard on this list - what exact rights and freedoms are impinged by not being able to post to this list anyway?? a minor inconvienience which can be got around SO easily it's not even worth mentioning - it's hardly the burning of books or censorship of the press is it? Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. Get some perspective on things before getting all Orwellian.

Same answer. > Is there such a thing as a swap partition that is too large? Too large for what? I don't know what the configuration limit is. My swap partition is 500 MB. Assuming that your amount of RAM is fixed, then a fairly simple general rule is this: Determine how much virtual memory you want (how much is required by the programs you want to have running (or waiting, etc) at the same time) and subtract the amount of RAM you have. Then add back on whatever safety margin you feel is reasonable, given the size of your hard disks and the memory-leakiness of your software (which I used to have to consider on Linux, but don't on FreeBSD). My biggest memory consumers are X11, one or two copies of XEmacs, Netscape, and software compiling. I've got 64 MB RAM and doubt if I've ever used much more than that much of my 500 MB of swap. (I keep a small xosview display of memory-types usage always visable.) Forget the two-times thing; it's needlessly simple, leaving out any consideration of what software you want to run or how big your hard disks are. It does have the benefit of requiring only a second of thought as opposed to having to make estimates and predictions.

I did not really understand your explanation about the sound card and how I should reconfigure it in the kernel config file. However, I removed the soundcard all together and rebooted. The "dmesg | grep irq" now has: ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 pci0: at 7.2 irq 11 pci0: at 11.0 irq 10 rl0: port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xdc000000-0xdc0000ff irq 5 at device 15.0 on pci0 fdc0: at port 0x3f0-0x3f5,0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa0 atkbd0: flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0 psm0: irq 12 on atkbdc0 sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0 pci0 at irq 11 doesn't conflict with the ESS soundcard anymore. My CD-Rom driver problem, however, remains. I really have my doubts that FreeBSD is doing something unappropriate to my CD-Rom drive. Can I break the CD-Rom setup for ever, by making a mistake in the configuration file of the kernel?

No. All I get is a CD-Rom driver that keeps making funny noises: tag-tag.......tag-tag.......tag-tag, as soon as I put a CD in the driver; It sounds like it's trying to probe the CD.

It, in turn, will pool these contributions to support various initiatives to encourage development and documentation of FreeBSD.

Hi Josh, We need more detail to answer your question. This is not a problem that I have seen with Apache or FreeBSD, though there are a few things it might be related to, which you didn't elaborate upon in your message. So, I'm going to ask you a few questions to get on the right track. I will assume here that the images in question are, in fact, being served by your Apache server. If that assumption is incorrect, most of the rest of this message will be useless. Also, I do not know what you mean by "the links associated with the images still work fine". Network performance: How far apart (in hops) are the two machines? What kind of load is everything under? Are connections with other services between the machines fast? (fast = low latency, high bandwidth). Filesystem performance: How large (in bytes) are the images? What kind of filesystem are they being served on? (If NFS, smbfs, etc you might have troubles). User agent performance: Depending on what user agent/platform you're using, maybe it's slowing things down, or rendering images very slowly. Local client performance: What happens when you try a user agent on 127.0.0.1 on the server? You didn't mention testing this, but a quick test could have eliminated roughly half of the variables I've mentioned here, whether it succeeded or failed. > Thanks in advance for your help! > > Josh > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- Ryan Thompson Network Administrator, Accounts SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E - Saskatoon, SK - S7H 0W2 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-664-1161 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-questions Sun Oct 7 18:39:30 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from hotmail.com (f106.law11.hotmail.com [64.4.17.106]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C0BB437B407 for ; Sun, 7 Oct 2001 18:39:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Sun, 7 Oct 2001 18:39:28 -0700 Received: from 24.116.152.150 by lw11fd.law11.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Mon, 08 Oct 2001 01:39:28 GMT X-Originating-IP: [24.116.152.150] From: "Charles Burns" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: HTTP, FTP not working Date: Sun, 07 Oct 2001 18:39:28 -0700 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 08 Oct 2001 01:39:28.0444 (UTC) FILETIME=[11C007C0:01C14F9A] 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 My FreeBSD installation has a strange (at least I think that it is strange) problem. FTP and HTTP (and possibly other internet services) do not work. I wish I could provide more detail, but it is about that simple. Any FTP or HTTP requests, such as using Lynx or downloading something for ports, does nothing. No error other than taking a while and timing out (Ports downloads sometimes say that he remote file does not exist, which is incorrect) CVSUP and ping seem to work fine. I am at a loss. I haven't done anything to the system that, as far as my understanding of FreeBSD goes, could possibly cause this and absolutely nothing relevant appears in any logs. The system is connected directly to a cable modem via Cat5e cable and the DHCP client seems to work fine, configuring the IP and all of that. I know that it is nearly impossible to troubleshoot with so little information, but if anyone knows this one of the top of their head, any info would be great.

For example, with no color codes at 80x25, you can type a number of characters equal to 80 minus the # of characters in the prompt. A prompt of: "bash-2.05# " for example would allow typing of 69 characters without BASH putting further characters on the next line. With several color code sequences, this makes commands trail off after typing about 10 characters, which is very irritating. A solution would be to have a 2-line command prompt, but that would be ... wrong somehow. Any solutions to this would be appreciated... Not a critically important problem, but I know of several people annoyed by this. I could probably have BASh return to the beginning of the line, then add a # of non-destructive spaces equal to the real prompt length, but having an esoteric shell script just to have a color prompt seems silly.

Well, though it would be nice to get by without using swap, note that the swap partition is also used for processor dumps after a panic. For that to work, your swap space must be at least the size of main memory, plus a little bit for header information. Apart from that, I agree with most of the statements in this thread.

This is *way* OT for this list. There are lots of places the problem could be, and no way to tell where to start looking with that little information. A URL to look at would be a good start. Any error messages that show up in the apache logs would be invaluable. Information about the network between the machines, if any, wouldn't hurt. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh? A: Tell them your plans.

Do you have it connected over USB or LPT. Because i had the same problem with that printer connected thru USB, but after connecting it thru LPT it just goes fine. Is it the lpd running?, does the kernel "sees it" ? what does your dmesg say about it? have you edited already your printcap? If you'd like me to send you my printcap, send me a line and i send it to your box.

It notes that md disks are "severely limited in size". To get overcome those limits, you'll have to either use mfs, or a pre-loaded md disk. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh? A: Tell them your plans.

If you have some set, you'll need either to reset them by hand, or dump the entire file system and restore just /home to the new partition.
