netcat strange behaviour
Hi, I recently came across a very stupid behaviour of netcat - the one in base system (/usr/bin/nc in my FreeBSD 5.4-RC3). I just wanted to connect to a POP3 server, authenticate and grab the STAT information, so I issued the following command: printf USER XXX\nPASS XXX\nSTAT\nQUIT\n | nc -i 1 mypopserver 110 And what I got on stdout was: +OK greeting string +OK +OK ...and nothing more, the command just exited without any error (FIN_WAIT in netstat). The server had interpreted USER and PASS commands, but ignored anything that came later... The error is 100% reproductible, has been observed on a few different FreeBSD 5 machines, and - what is more - does not depend on a POP3 server! I tried a couple of public ISPs. I have also used a range of -i delays without success. I investigated more and ran tcpdump -xx -v dst host mypopserver, and what I got was: [...omitted...] 08:55:23.196753 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 145, offset 0, flags [DF], length: 80) mypc.63175 mypopserver.pop3: P [bad tcp cksum 2f41 (-71d2)!] 0:40(40) ack 36 win 65535 0x: 0050 da74 56b1 0011 11c1 fa55 0800 4500 .P.tV..U..E. 0x0010: 0050 0091 4000 4006 0b19 0a01 0ac7 d94a [EMAIL PROTECTED]@J 0x0020: 40ec f6c7 006e f760 36fd f3cd 8805 5018 @n.`6.P. 0x0030: 2f41 5553 4552 20XX ../A..USER.X 0x0040: 0a50 4153 5320 .PASS.XX 0x0050: XX0a 5354 4154 0a51 5549 540a XXX.STAT.QUIT.

I thought that separate lines ought to be separated in TCP/IP terms too - and what is more, I wanted a 1 second delay between lines! (-i option).

illegal user root user failed login attempts
I run a server at home on port 22. There are loads of illegal user attempts to login every few days.

So essentially every failed login attempt is illegal. Is there any way to actually record what passwords the hackers' scripts are trying?

Hey!
I am running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE on a Pentium 120.
Since three days ago, it has been crashing regularly, leaving me with
no choice but to shut it off and back on. I have absolutely no idea what
might be wrong. The server has a lot of free HD space. It ain't
experiencing no overload that I'm aware of. Everything should be smooth.
Maybe it's the network interface. Or the fact that I just replaced
IPFW with PF. Because this only seems to happen when I surf the net and
download stuff from the workstation behind it.
It may also be your PF.conf or your NIC. I am running a 5.3-RELEASE
box w/ PF routing 3 DSL circuits. Upon early installation, it was
extremely slow on one circuit which was determined to be a NIC. Later
on, the system would hardlock as soon as a user attempted to access
the internet. What was occuring to my knowledge is there is a bug
associated with static-port in the NAT line. You may consider posting
part if not most of your pf.conf to see if any issues could be
underlying in it.

Re: Questions about processes
Most of those processes are used by the kernel, some of them, if you aren't using the specific hardware or functionality they provide (such as USB or ktrace) can be disabled by compiling your own kernel (see here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/kernelconfig.html). While this may not provide a *HUGE* performance increase, it may be a good idea to try. I would also recommend, perhaps, adding some more RAM? :-) Hmm, interesting. I figured they might all be needed, but given the raw number that there were I was kind of shocked. My ps list in 4.x was a whole lot shorter so I thought that a lot of these were just a lot of unneeded processes that could simply be removed, but apparently not. heh. Thanks for the info. I guess I just found it weird to have a list like that come up. Especially with all the irq and other items appearing on that list.

Qpopper SSL TLS problem
Hello,
I have a weired problem with Qpopper FBSD 5.3.
I am using the latest version compiled using the port tree. with one or
two options :
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --enable-nonauth-file=${POPUSERS_FILE} \
--without-gdbm \
--enable-keep-temp-drop \
--disable-update-abort \
--enable-bulletins=/var/spool/bulls \
--enable-log-login \
--enable-new-bulls=3 \
--enable-shy \
--enable-timing \
--enable-log-facility=LOG_MAIL \
--with-openssl=/usr/bin/openssl \
--with-pam=pop3
I am also using this compile time option :
bsd# make WITHOUT_IPV6=yes WITHOUT_APOP=yes
bsd# make install WITHOUT_APOP=yes
bsd# make clean
I was using this program since couple of months without any problem.
But since couple of weeks, I have weired problems with my maling list
account.
I have configured four accounts :
- Three are ok (the one on which I receive a small amount of large mail)
- One is causing serious problem (hanging during the transmission of my
mail). This account is used for my mailing list, so I have a lot of
small size mail.
Any idea ??
Do you know any other POP server that supports SSL / TLS ?
Thanks for your support.

Since it works fine for both RedHat and Windows we are probably going to go with another OS on this server other than FreeBSD. Um, that would be Windows, right?

If that isn't true then why are you even listing Windows here? Windows isn't a UNIX OS, and has no relevance to anything. Is it because your thinking that if you tell us Windows runs on this server that we are all going to be real impressed? Aren't you forgetting a lot of us already run 1U webservers fine with FreeBSD with no problems? The fact RedHat runs on this is significant since the FreeBSD and RedHat Adaptec driver have a common ancestor. Why arm wrestle the situation when no one seems to know the solution to our issue.- Simple, because the OS is free. If you want to save the money on licensing fees then you spend your time arm wrestling problems when they come up. If you own a car and you want to save a lot of money on mechanics fees then you learn how to fix it, buy a lot of tools, and do the work yourself. Why is this any different with operating systems? And I am in a VERY small company that could barely pay for what we just purchased. We where lucky to get what we did and the idea of having a duplicate is wishful thinking and not realistic, so thats a risk we will have to take until we can afford better solutions. In short, you overreached yourself. So let me ask you, why should customers use you when your competition has actually spent the money for backup servers? I work for a small company too, lots of people do that is no excuse. But when I have a problem, such a fielding a mailserver, that really ought to have a backup server, if I have $3K to spend on it, I don't run out and buy a new server. I instead get creative and perhaps buy 2 used servers at $1500, or roll my own clones, or get a leasing company involved, etc. I don't shortchange my customers because I'm not willing to gamble with their livelihoods. Sure, I may not be out there saying to them that I have a brand new P4 3Ghz server for them like you are, but I am telling them that for what they need, a P4 3Ghz server won't be any different than a P3 1.5Ghz system, (which it isn't) and that I have redundancies in that P3 1.5Ghz network that allow me to guarentee to them that if my server blows chunks that I will have them back online within 20 minutes. Its not the perfect situation but its the best we can do with what we have. No, it isn't. I would love a new house but the cold numbers dictate what'sreally possible right now. - No, they don't. You are simply making up justfications for yourself to try to sleep better at night. You don't have the moral leg to stand on to sell server services to your customers, because when your customers buy services from you there is an implied understanding that they are buying server services that are done in a professional manner, better than they could do them. And if you aren't selling server services to customers, but instead using this server for your own business, the moral issues still remain because your customers depend on your product, and if you go offline a week because your all-the-eggs-in-one-basket solution blew chunks, then your still affecting your customers. I'm sure you can probably go on making excuses, but I'm not interested in them. You said you couldn't afford to have the server down for days at a time. Well, either that was a baldfaced lie and you were full of crap, or your abrogating your responsibility to provide solid IT services and infrastructure. Sites that cannot afford to have a server down for days at a time MUST have backup servers, it is simple as that, and no amount of whining and excuses justify anything different.

The machine in question is a very simple fetching mail server running on a 500mhz Via Eden Mini-ITX board. I'm using the same hardware here. It is more than fast enough for this. Don't worry about those kernel threads, which are idle most of the time. The CPU time they consume would have been used up in 4.x too (as system time), you would just not see it with ps there as you can see it here.

The machine in question is a Most of those processes are used by the kernel, some of them, if you aren't using the specific hardware or functionality they provide (such as USB or ktrace) can be disabled by compiling your own kernel (see here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/kernelconfig.html). While this may not provide a *HUGE* performance increase, it may be a good idea to try. That would not really make a difference. I've tried it once on my EPIA boards, and ran some custom benchmarks. I didn't notice any difference at all. It's really not worth it for most practical uses. I would also recommend, perhaps, adding some more RAM? :-) Yes, more RAM is always a good idea. But if you're using EPIA 5000 boards, you should be aware of one catch: use just one of the two slots (you can use one 512 MB PC-133 RAM module, but not two modules!), because these boards can't reliably drive both for some strange reasons. very simple fetching mail server running on a 500mhz Via Eden Mini-ITX board.

Computer hanging when trying to load APM, at boot time
Hi. As written in the subject, my computer freezes at the point it should load APM. However, it does boot in safe mode, and shutdown -p now works perfectly. Moreover, unfortunatly, when I boot in safe mode, only one of my two processors is being used (it is therefore impossible to always boot in safe mode). Thus, my question is: What does booting in safe mode changes, about APM, so that it works? Actually, I would like this function to work, since it is pretty useful with SSH. Thanks. Notes: 1: For sure, the problem is about it since my computer boots perfectly when disabled in device.hints, but doesn't when enabled. 2: I can't use ACPI since my BIOS is on the black list. 3: I am using FreeBSD 5.3. 4: My server is a HP Kayak XU/400, dual Pentium II Xeon 400 Mhz, 640 Megabytes. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

harddisk problem in the 5.x series
Hi everybody! I have the following problem. I moved my system from FreeBSD 4.11 to 5.4-RC3 by reinstalling everything. The 4.11 system had no problem finding my MAXTOR hard disk as ad3 as slave on the secondary IDE behind the CDROM. The new 5.4 system indicates a lot of errors, but finally accepts it and everything just works fine. If I remove the hard drive the CDROM is recognised without problems. My guess is that the system tries to use higher PIO mode on the disk than it is good for or something like that. Can anybody explain how I can tune the kernel to avoid the error messages? (BTW I have a GENERIC kernel.) dmesg messages from the 4.11 and the 5.4-RC3 versions are below. Thanks in advance Zoltan Relevant parts of the dmesg from the 4.11-RELEASE version.

If the port uses a shell script (ports that have a subdirectory called scripts with a file usually called config), it usually creates a file called Makefile.inc in the port directory, that is included by the port Makefile and it is removed when you do a make clean.

Re: Verizon EVDO - Broadcom a/b/g - Cisco VPN Client = how to in 5.3
Phil, Thanks for the response. I was speaking of the Linux version of the Cisco vpn client software. I was hoping to be able to use it with the Linux binary compatibility as you spoke of. But that appears as though it will not work now as you mentioned. I configured the .pfc file for my windows clients and thought it would make it a lot easier if I could use the same for FreeBSD. Looks like I will have to enter the information manually. I actually have already downloaded the Cisco password decrypter when working on my other equipment. Thanks for the response. It saved me from pulling more hair out. Dana. On 4/22/05, Phil Schulz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dana Rawson wrote: [...] 3.

If you downloaded the Linux version -- it won't work b/c it loads a kernel module and thus won't work under the Linux binary compatibility environment. The vpnc port works fine for me, although I don't know the model no. of the device I connect to. If there are any limitations on what models work with the port, I'm sure there is some information about it on the webpage of the tool. The .pcf file is human readable, you can easily extract all information you need to set up your tunnel. If you have the GroupPwd in encoded form, search the internet for a decoder. I don't have the link at hand, but there definitely is a site where you can enter the hash and have it spit out the clear phrase.

Re: Qt programming
Steven Friedrich wrote: I want to learn Qt programming. Can I do that without buying anything from TrollTech (until I'm ready to develop a commercial program) ? Does FreeBSD have the tools, libraries, etc.? There are several books on teh subject available also. I would suggest you need tow things, 1) a development environment, and 2) documentation The very best choice you could possibly make for development would be one of the BSD's. This includes OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD, and there are others. It's arguable that Linux would be included in that grouping ... the coding you will find in the BSD's is far more prefessional in style, but the OS and environment is more develoed in Linux. The worst choice you could make would be, Windows inany form. You will end up having to pay thousands of dollars for a less-rich environment. The idea of buying one or more books is a very good idea, because there are several very good ones out there, and lots of help online. I don't know your goal well enough to product, but there is another graphical option, that of the gimp toolkits, the gtk libraries. Qt is semi-free (free for free projects, paid if you try to make money on it). The Gimp toolkits are ALL totally free. Beyond that, the qt system is based upon a precompiler, I really, really dislike that sort of system, and gtk doesn't do that. That's a very personal prejudice, of course, and maybe worth some discussion. Anyhow, you want to consider gtk. Another thing you might want to consider is, leaerning python, and then using python's incredible facilities to program directly in gtk (see pygtk) or qt (see pyqt). I have myself done a large job in pygtk, it's a great environment to work in, a very rich programming environment for gui work.

Answering my own question Re: Compile of GCC-3.4 port fails on FreeBSD 4.11 --- Help?
Answering my own question, just to get the answer into the archives. On Mon, Apr 25, 2005 at 10:20:38AM -0600, we recorded a bogon-computron collision of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] flavor, containing: I've been having trouble with ports on FreeBSD 4.11 lately, as more and more of them seem to want gcc 3.4 --- but I can't get gcc-3.4 to build. Turns out that the mingw port (gcc 2.95 cross-compiler for building windows binaries) is the culprit here. It installs a /usr/local/include/ansidecl.h file that is picked up by the configure of gcc-3.4, and that causes the problem. To figure that out I had to look for ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL on my spare linux box, found it in ansidecl.h, then hunted down why I had an ansidecl.h without ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL in it with pkg_info -W. Since I need the mingw port, I just temporarily moved ansidecl.h so gcc3.4 could build. Never Mind. Here's what I get when I attempt to make gcc 3.4: [...] In file included from insn-conditions.c:30: ../../gcc-3.4-20050128/gcc/output.h:122: syntax error before `ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL' In file included from insn-conditions.c:34: ../../gcc-3.4-20050128/gcc/toplev.h:57: syntax error before `ATTRIBUTE_NONNULL' [...] Has anyone else had a problem building gcc-3.4 on FreeBSD 4.11?

groff alternative?
Hello, I'm using NO_CXX in my make.conf to strip down the base system to ~50MB including man pages. The only problem is that groff is missing if I don't build c++, and even if I build groff itself and the needed libstdc++ it costs me about 10MB. If I just skip NO_CXX it's only 500k more, so I moved my patches to /dev/null. Now I wrote a port for GNU/groff, but this also consumes 9974k by default and I don't want to include patches into that port to strip down groff, if that was possible at all. Does anybody know any alternative for the groff part to view man pages simply with the man command? It's horrible that the filter needs more space than all the manpages itself! And of course, even if I decide to leave system man pages outside the flash card I still may want to read man pages of installed packages (which is another mountpoint on my installation, so there may be no space limit, depending on the card and additional drives) Thanks, -Harry pgpxc3o4DhpIz.pgp Description: PGP signature

Are you asking about your ISPs DHCP, a Linksys/Dlink/other SOHO DHCP device, or are you attempting to setup your own internal DHCP server such as ISC-DHCP for your LAN. Sorry--my DHCP server is a Linksys router which is supposed to assign an internal IP address automatically, whenever a computer asks for it. Secondly, the quick and easy way to change around things so that sl0 pulls an IP is to run /stand/sysinstall and reconfigure your Network Interfaces. Umm...how do I do that again? Do I just go to /stand/sysinstall, click on Index, and click on Network Interfaces? What do I put down for the host and domain? The host is the computer name, I suppose, but I don't think I assigned my LAN a domain. I accidentally put something for the domain, and now I can't erase it because whenever I leave a textbox my computer automatically refills it with what I wrote earlier. In fact, I can't change any settings because it will refill itself whenever I try to. You could also edit rc.conf manually and set up the sl0 interface that way, to either pull a static or dynamic IP. I tried that a minute ago, but it only got me into even deeper trouble. I'm so careless that I forgot to put a quote, and now my computer wouldn't boot properly. It only allows me to log on as a single user, and has # thing instead of $ or computername: How do I open a text editor to edit the rc.conf file while I'm not logged in (I don't think so), and while every command has # in front of it? vi wouldn't work, and view and ex don't work either. I also have a copy of the original rc.conf file; how do I dump the data into the current rc.conf file which is driving me crazy because I made an error in it? Is sl0 internal or external? Is the FreeBSD box going to NAT for your second computer? I don't know--I think sl0 is the network card, and if I'm right it's internal.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Firstly, by telling the DHCP server to assign a static-IP address to a specific system on the network, what sort of DHCP server are you speaking of. Are you asking about your ISPs DHCP, a Linksys/Dlink/other SOHO DHCP device, or are you attempting to setup your own internal DHCP server such as ISC-DHCP for your LAN. Secondly, the quick and easy way to change around things so that sl0 pulls an IP is to run /stand/sysinstall and reconfigure your Network Interfaces. You could also edit rc.conf manually and set up the sl0 interface that way, to either pull a static or dynamic IP. Is sl0 internal or external?

If you do a little research perhaps into PF which I'm currently trying to learn, it's pretty simple to do, compared to what I've seen from IPFW. How do I open a text editor to edit the rc.conf file while I'm not logged in (I don't think so), and while every command has # in front of it? vi wouldn't work, and view and ex don't work either. I also have a copy of the original rc.conf file; how do I dump the data into the current rc.conf file which is driving me crazy because I made an error in it? You could just do: cat rc.conf.backup rc.conf If I'm not mistaken if you have a backup copy of your rc.conf. As several people have said in this chain of emails, sl0 is not actually one of your NICs. I believe it is a serial port or something, but I don't quite remember. If you could, please post the results from 'ifconfig' and perhaps your

That is baloney, when you titled the post good/CHEAP, quite obviously the number matters greatly. - The SCSI adapter is an Adaptec Ultra320 built into a $3000+ 1U web server and not a common inexpensive controller. Since it works fine for both RedHat and Windows we are probably going to go with another OS on this server other than FreeBSD. Um, that would be Windows, right? That is, your going to drop an additional $1200 on Windows OS and licensing for it just because you don't want to drop $150 into an hour of support? If that isn't true then why are you even listing Windows here? Windows isn't a UNIX OS, and has no relevance to anything. Is it because your thinking that if you tell us Windows runs on this server that we are all going to be real impressed? Aren't you forgetting a lot of us already run 1U webservers fine with FreeBSD with no problems? The fact RedHat runs on this is significant since the FreeBSD and RedHat Adaptec driver have a common ancestor. Why arm wrestle the situation when no one seems to know the solution to our issue.- Simple, because the OS is free. If you want to save the money on licensing fees then you spend your time arm wrestling problems when they come up. If you own a car and you want to save a lot of money on mechanics fees then you learn how to fix it, buy a lot of tools, and do the work yourself. Why is this any different with operating systems? And I am in a VERY small company that could barely pay for what we just purchased. We where lucky to get what we did and the idea of having a duplicate is wishful thinking and not realistic, so thats a risk we will have to take until we can afford better solutions. In short, you overreached yourself. So let me ask you, why should customers use you when your competition has actually spent the money for backup servers? I work for a small company too, lots of people do that is no excuse. But when I have a problem, such a fielding a mailserver, that really ought to have a backup server, if I have $3K to spend on it, I don't run out and buy a new server. I instead get creative and perhaps buy 2 used servers at $1500, or roll my own clones, or get a leasing company involved, etc. I don't shortchange my customers because I'm not willing to gamble with their livelihoods. Sure, I may not be out there saying to them that I have a brand new P4 3Ghz server for them like you are, but I am telling them that for what they need, a P4 3Ghz server won't be any different than a P3 1.5Ghz system, (which it isn't) and that I have redundancies in that P3 1.5Ghz network that allow me to guarentee to them that if my server blows chunks that I will have them back online within 20 minutes.

You don't have the moral leg to stand on to sell server services to your customers, because when your customers buy services from you there is an implied understanding that they are buying server services that are done in a professional manner, better than they could do them. And if you aren't selling server services to customers, but instead using this server for your own business, the moral issues still remain because your customers depend on your product, and if you go offline a week because your all-the-eggs-in-one-basket solution blew chunks, then your still affecting your customers.

There are several books on teh subject available also. I would suggest you need tow things, 1) a development environment, and 2) documentation The very best choice you could possibly make for development would be one of the BSD's. This includes OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD, and there are others. It's arguable that Linux would be included in that grouping ... the coding you will find in the BSD's is far more prefessional in style, but the OS and environment is more develoed in Linux. The worst choice you could make would be, Windows inany form. You will end up having to pay thousands of dollars for a less-rich environment. The idea of buying one or more books is a very good idea, because there are several very good ones out there, and lots of help online. I don't know your goal well enough to product, but there is another graphical option, that of the gimp toolkits, the gtk libraries. Qt is semi-free (free for free projects, paid if you try to make money on it). The Gimp toolkits are ALL totally free. Beyond that, the qt system is based upon a precompiler, I really, really dislike that sort of system, and gtk doesn't do that. That's a very personal prejudice, of course, and maybe worth some discussion. Anyhow, you want to consider gtk. I find this a tad biased. Let me try to counter a bit and provide some more info. One could also argue that qt has a bootload more high level functionality. And based upon a preprocessor? You mean it's C++? Yes. So is wxwidgets (FKA wxwindows) which is another fine toolkit. Python bindings to any of them might have a bit less functionality than the native C or C++ toolkits but generally their amount of functionality reflects that of the underlying toolkit. Another thing you might want to consider is, leaerning python, and then using python's incredible facilities to program directly in gtk (see pygtk) or qt (see pyqt). I have myself done a large job in pygtk, it's a great environment to work in, a very rich programming environment for gui work. I like using python for both low level stuff (or quick-and-dirty scripts) and GUI stuff. It's very versatile with lots of added modules. The base modules are pretty much optimized for speed, no need to try and reinvent the wheel. I played with py-gtk a bit (with ROX desktop) but found it a little cumbersome. I also used py-wx for a little accounting app for my own which I wanted to be able to run on both *NIX and Windows. On *NIX it renders as gtk widgets, on Win32 natively. But qt (py-qt) definately has the most functionality to get started with. I never really done a project with it and am personally more interested in py-kde (which builds upon it), but it surely has a lot of stuff ready to use to build a complex app using python. There's also a py-anygui that abstracts widgets (with some limitations of course) and then you can deploy them with py-gtk, py-wx, py-qt, py-kde, py-ncurses...). Also python has lots of very useful modules, lots more unofficial ones which at the very least you can use as starting point. So yeah, considering today's processors and RAM the average PC has, python is certainly something to consider.

DNS config for dhcp
I have a DHCP setup, and as part of the network interface config, i've got my hostname and domain setup as rainier.sbcglobal.com. Note that I have my own DHCP sever (my wireless access point, which in turn is getting a dhcp address from SBC). #hostname rainier.sbcglobal.com but host or bind won't run correctly, as the name of my network/dhcp setup is really not in the DNS of my ISP. I believe that's cause cvsup misbehave (as well as browser's behaving very slowly or timedout). cvsup only worked once, it always came back with a network read error after connecting to the freebsd host, and wasn't able to get any files So how do i go about fixing this problem? thanks. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I heartily dislike C++ (I find it FAR too complicated for it's feature set). I Like Python, but I dislike Perl, for very nearly the same reasons as C++, except in the case of perl, it's even worse. I also admit a prejudice against precompilers, but sir, I ADMITTED THAT UP FRONT! Read it, I said it out front that it was a very personal prejudice. If I go out of my way to show that it's an opinion with more than one side, then I find your complaining about it in very poor taste. I'm not against your disagreeing, I just don't appreciate you calling me biased over it, not when I try so hard to be fair. Note I am not commenting (yet) on the meat of your opinions. I like your opinions. I disagree in many cases, but I like the way you expressed them. One could also argue that qt has a bootload more high level functionality. And based upon a preprocessor? You mean it's C++? No, how about I call up an example I think that most of us have hit, the sql precompilers, stuff that has you putting stuff like $READ into you C code. stuff that is illgal in C, but precompiled away. That's what moc is, right? I do not like precompilers. I am not talking about cpp. Gnome does the job without precompilers, proving at least that it CAN be done without it. Yes. So is wxwidgets (FKA wxwindows) which is another fine toolkit. Python bindings to any of them might have a bit less functionality than the native C or C++ toolkits but generally their amount of functionality reflects that of the underlying toolkit. True. I find Python's fantastic ease, in being able to bring in all those outside toolkits, one of it's greatest strengths. I'm absolutely in LOVE with pygtk | pyqt | (about 6 others). All done without precomilers. Of course, that arguments makes little sense here.

any problems using dummynet as a module?
I need to traffic shape a remote box that runs IPF, and I have taken the time to learn to use IPFW with dummynet, and also that I can run IPFW wide open as IPF is the firewall. The box is 5.4 stable (generic) and I can't get around doing a reboot, from all the testing I have done. Must reboot unfortunately. Loading the ipfw.ko and/or the dummynet.ko with kldload locks me out of an identical test box which is bad news for me. This box is in a colo center with just one ethernet interface. So my procedure works, but I am wondering if I should just suck it up and compile all this stuff into the kernel, or if my procedure below is somewhat safe? (it works, but I am looking for any hidden issues?) 1. Add this to /boot/loader.conf dummynet_load=YES 2. Add this to rc.conf: firewall_enable=YES firewall_quiet=YES firewall_logging=YES firewall_script=/etc/ipfw.rules 3. Edit /etc/ipfw.rules with these entries: ipfw -q -f flush ipfw -q add 100 pass all from any to any via lo0 ipfw -q add 200 deny all from any to 127.0.0.0/8 ipfw -q add 300 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any ipfw -q add 65000 pass all from any to any ipfw -q add 1 pipe 1 ip from any to any out xmit ed0 ipfw -q pipe 1 config bw 128kbits/s - REBOOT ...and the rate limiting works and I can also change the speed on the fly which is a good thing Thanks for any comments! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here is my /etc/vinum.conf: drive a device /dev/ad1 drive b device /dev/ad2 These should be partitions, not disks. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

HP Proliant ML110 Adaptec 2610sa Serial Raid Driver Support
I am having a problem with a newly aquired server and its Adaptec 2610sa
Raid Controller Card.
Using to onboard configuration I have made mirrored drives which have been
verified but when I try installing FreeBSD 5.3 its days I have no drives to
which it can install the operating system.
I did a little research and it seems that FreeBSD 5.3 does not support the
Adaptec 2610sa Serial Raid Controller Drivers and cannot see the mirrored
array.
Now I can accross this post where It looks like you can patch a file which
enables the Adaptec 2610sa.
Fix:

Now I was wondering how I would be able to make a set of boot floppies and
or cd that can see the array and whether or not this patch actually will
work.

can't build kernel [with CONFIG this time]
Hello, Just got a new CPU today. Running 5.4-RC3 on GENERIC until the new CPU showed up. Installed the CPU drafted a new config for the kernel cd'd to /usr/src, typed make buildkernel KERNCONF=DEMON01, build process went as expected. But before the build process completed the machine froze for no apparent reason at the sound driver part. Couldn't ssh into it from another box, so hit the reset button, chose 4 from the menu (single user mode). Performed a fsck -f. Rebooted and attempted to rebuild. But it barfed. So I performed an rm -fr /usr/src. Then /stand/sysinstall install entire src tree and tried another make buildkernel KERNCONF=DEMON01 in /usr/src. It barfed with the following: rm -f .depend GPATH GRTAGS GSYMS GTAGS === rp rm -f /usr/src/sys/modules/rp/export_syms rp.ko rp.kld rp.o rp_pci.o @ machine s ymb.tmp tmp.o opt_compat.h pci_if.h bus_if.h device_if.h rm -f .depend GPATH GRTAGS GSYMS GTAGS === rue .depend, line 1: Need an operator .depend, line 3: Need an operator .depend, line 4: Need an operator .depend, line 5: Need an operator .depend, line 6: Need an operator .depend, line 9: Need an operator .depend, line 18: Need an operator .depend, line 20: Need an operator .depend, line 21: Need an operator .depend, line 25: Need an operator .depend, line 43: Need an operator make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/sys/modules. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DEMON01. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src. /usr/src ... dmesg -a is @: http://www.dnswatch.com/kern/dmesg#1 acpidump -t -d is @: http://www.dnswatch.com/kern/acpidump#1 sysctl -a is @: http://www.dnswatch.com/kern/sysctl#1 DEMON01 is @: http://www.dnswatch.com/kern/DEMON01 = Please help and thank you.
