Local DNS Caching not caching on external interface

It looks like if you comment out that option, it will listen on * by
default. You could also add the other IP address on which you want named

rc.d script for processes started with /usr/bin/env
Hi
I just wrote a little ruby web server for internal use. I wrote it
on my mac to deploy on FreeBSD, so I used #!/usr/bin/env ruby as
the shebang. But when I do that, I can't stop the server with my
rc.d script (below). If I change them both to /usr/local/bin/ruby I
can make it work.
Is it possible to use /usr/bin/env like this?
Thanks
Ashley

Dear Chris,
Thank you for your help. I did comment and added my public static IP
like the following:
listen-on { 202.x.x.x; }; # My Static IP
Now when I do from my local PC:
dig yahoo.com @202.x.x.x , I can do DNS lookups.
But when I try doing that from another computer on my network, I can't
do any DNS lookups.
Is that anything that I miss?

You have to tell the other machines on your network to use the IP of the
local DNS server for domain name resolution. If you are using DHCP you can
configure your DHCP server to give this information with the IP. Otherwise
you must manually do it, which will be different between operating systems.

Tuareg,
I can't find the name of the quy who straightened me out on the fuction of
squid, but kudo's to him.
Clearly squid is not the culprit.
But I've done some eyeballing on /usr/sbin/periodic, and I think maybe it is
the culprit.
First lets have a look at your /etc/crontab file. Specifically we are
interested in the lines which contain the term periodic
If these lines include parameters, which are passed to /usr/sbin/periodic,
then they may be the reason for your periodic emails being sent WITHOUT
sendmail being enabled by the normal boot process.
Take a look at /usr/sbin/periodic. Note that it uses values
in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf as well as any override variables
in /etc/rc.conf. It could also be overridden in other ways such as by
defining the value source_periodic_confs_defined and periodic_conf_files
but this should have already showed up in /etc/rc.conf.
While you are examining /usr/sbin/periodic, look for the term output
In my copy of that script there is a comment that looks like:
#Where's our output going?
Then there is a case block:
case $output in
/*) pipe=cat $output;;
) pipe=cat;;
*) pipe=mail -s '$host ${arg##*/} run output' $output;;
esac
If your predecessor had modified this script or, perhaps overridden it
using /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, then he may have either changed the *)
default case, or supplied parameters from /etc/crontab
(or /etc/defaults/periodic.conf) which could invoke sendmail directly. If he
used override variables, then he would probably also have added a case for )
pipe=sendmail -arg1 arg2 argn
This would account for sendmail being completely disabled in /etc/rc.conf AND
for the messages being sent out via sendmail. However, as I read it, the
behaviour you have reported would only occur if /usr/sbin/periodic was
actually modified, as the use of the $output variables does NOT seem to
allow for invocation of sendmail directly. And I don't believe that mail
can force invocation of sendmail (although I may be wrong, as the man page
does imply that mail will use any means available to get the message out).
If this is the case (i.e. if mail is invoking sendmail directly) you could
check it by trying to send mail from the command line on one of the servers
that actually does what you want it to do. If it works, and if there are NO
modifications to /usr/sbin/periodic or override defaults
in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, then it will be safe to assume that
this feature has been properly quashed in 6.x. You would then need to
follow the procedures for setting up sendmail for outgoing-only, as many have
already recommended.
I haven't followed this whole thread so I may be jumping in to the
wrong place, but...
Somewhere it is documented - I have read it - that various utilities
such as mail invoke single instances of sendmail to transfer their
_outgoing only_ messages. I think, in those cases, sendmail clears
the mail queue before going away. They do not start sendmail as a
daemon or to receive email.
Probably some searching will find that documentation.
jerry
In any case, the behaviour you desire would only work properly by making the
appropriate changes to /etc/mail/hostname|freebsd.mc, (i.e. SMART_HOST
and/or HUB settings), and then running make install in /etc/mail. (And this
is always going to be the case where sendmail is concerned)
I hope this information leads you to a resolution, as it has been a great
learning experience for me ... but my brain hurts :)

Otherwise, everything 64-bit works as far as we can tell. We're a little grumpy that we don't have any way to monitor the RAID (our Dell x850 systems use megarc to automatically signal us if a drive fails) We've also had occasional problems with the reboot and shutdown commands not completing, but it's been so intermittent that we can't seem to isolate the cause.

Hey, Im planning on installing this card tonite freebsd 6.1 i386 Im using a crappy radeon x300se right now, which has the Radeon choice in xorgconfig, however theres no geforce choice. Now, I've read that nvidia is the way to go for freebsd as they have Drivers! so how do I go about this, I can pkg_add these drivers? and then how do I tune X to use them thanks :-D -- Dan Sikorsky *Systems Admin/GoldMine Admin* RegionalHelpWanted.com,Inc.

Now, how safe is this? Not in terms of the strength of the encryption algorithm, but in terms of integrity. I have no insight on the code, but as nobody else answered, my response may be better than nothing. What happens in case of power failure, the battery runs out or system crashes for whatever reason? I have my home slice encrypted with GELI for several month now and so far I didn't notice any effects on the data integrity. I experienced several system crashes and one or two power failures do to empty battery but I didn't lose any data already saved on the disk (that I know of). The only inconvenience is that the system boots to single-user mode if the home slice isn't clean and I then have to fsck it manually. At that point the password for the key is already entered, so I'm not sure why the slice can't be fscked automatically. It could be the .eli extension, but I didn't investigate this any further. Fabian -- http://www.fabiankeil.de/ Erik, I also use geli and it works great. I have had power failures as well and have not lost any data upon reboot. Fabian, Yes the manual fsck is a pain. I am not sure why it has to be done manually either, but I don't think it is just the .eli extension. Did you notice you have to specify that it is UFS as well? Another thing to consider is the performance hit when using geli with a high encryption. I have mine set to the highest (I think) bit possible and when transferring anything ~500MB+ it lags the system a bit to do the encryption.

Since it's not /home (so, not automounted), I have a little script to mount it, which includes a fsck (with some special flags, I'd have to turn the laptop on as I don't remember them, but man fsck should reveal them right away).

I fail to see how that might effect it. Besides, they were present when

Anyway, I will give it a try tomorrow. I don't have time this evening.
I saw this in your build log:

I've check that on my machine I don't get this error and I have a md5sum

Someone, the maintainer I think, supplied me with a patch that corrected
the problem. Simply place the patch in the ../jack/files directory and
the problem is gone. Apparently, this had something to do with the fact
that I did not have a: CFLAGS=0 setting in the /etc/make.conf file.

Re: Black Lines on my monitor
In the last episode (Dec 14), P Tyrrell said: About two weeks ago I noticed that there was a shadow appearing on the monitor alond any black type or dark picture - thinking it wasthe monitor I swaped it with another and there are still black lines appearing along the lines of text. Are they always vertial shadows, just to the right of the image/text? Could be due to a badly plugged-in VGA cable, a cheap KVM switchbox or cheap cables, or a too-high refresh rate. Possible solutions: wiggle the cable plugs, try plugging the monitor directly into the PC if you have a switchbox, or lower your refresh rate (the flicker gets annoying to me below than 75Hz though). If you have an LCD monitor and are using a VGA cable, getting a video card with DVI outputs will fix the problem too. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: processes not getting fair share of available disk I/O
Mutex profiling would show if there is a mutex somehow getting in the way of your I/O (e.g. if Giant is somehow being forced). I dont think it would show anything though.

PowerEdge 6850 Install
I've got an issue with getting FreeBSD to recognize past four gigs of ram. The server we have has 12 gig. I am able to successfully recompile the kernel and get the four CPU's to show up that are installed in the server. I've taken and attempted to compile the PAE kernel file and every time the server attempts to boot to the default option on the standard boot menu, the server reboots itself. This is a continuous cycle. Can anyone direct me to what I need to do for having the server recognize all 12 gig? I've seen threads on using the ia64 install, however the install notes state it is for the Itanium and Itanium 2 CPU's. Attempting to boot from the first ISO CD doesn't do anything.

Getting a list of dependencies which have to be installed ?
Hey..., Is there a utility to display the dependencies of a port which have yet to be installed ? I know you can get a complete dependency list on freebsd.org/ports , pkg_info -r or just looking in the files in the ports dir. But is there a command to display only the dependencies which haven't been installed on your system yet ? I also looked at pkg_add -n but it immediately starts fetching the packages needed. I don't want to start downloading the complete package just because I want a list of ports I haven't installed yet. Or is the only way making a diff between the pkg_info -r output and your pkg_info -a ? If so : Is there a way to tell pkg_info when using the -r flag on a not-yet-installed-port to only get a list of the dependencies instead of downloading the complete package ? Or is there just an other utility which can display this information which I'm not aware of ?

I have enabled nfs_client with nfs_client_enable=YES on my FreeBSD laptop as stated in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nfs.html allthough when I'm not at home I notice FreeBSD halting during boot after NFS access cache time=2 , when I hit ctrl+c it continues fine. Since I always mount my NFS dirs manually I started wondering about how usefull the entry in /etc/rc.conf was. So I quoted out nfs_client_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf and I still could mount my nfs dirs perfectly So my question was: Is the entry in rc.conf only needed when mounting a nfs dir at boot ? or is it not needed at all ( since my test proved it isn't needed when you mount the dirs manually after boot ) .. now I have yet to figure out why my ndis NIC won't work when disableing nfs_client :S -- -Frank Staals ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know of a utility that does that function. Like you, I often
want to know what I'm committing to when installing a new port so I
wrote a small script to do just that:
what_do_i_need.sh
=
#!/bin/sh
#titleList needed ports not already installed/title
portsdir=`make -V PORTSDIR`
pkgdbdir=`make -V PKG_DBDIR`
indexfile=`make -V INDEXFILE`
origin_list=`pwd` `make all-depends-list`
for origin in ${origin_list}; do
# echo ORIGIN: ${origin}
pkg_name=`grep |${origin}| ${portsdir}/${indexfile} \
| cut -d | -f 1`
padding=$(( 50 - `echo ${origin} | wc -c` +1))
if [ ! -e ${pkgdbdir}/${pkg_name} ]; then
printf NEED: ${origin}%${padding}c${pkg_name}\n
fi
done
=
Put it in your path somewhere, chmod to executable and use like:
# cd xawtv
# what_do_i_need.sh
NEED: /usr/ports/multimedia/xawtv xawtv-3.95_1
NEED: /usr/ports/x11-fonts/tv-fonts tv-fonts-1.1
It will only list the needed ports butyou can modify it to do as
you want. Its probably a wise idea to make sure all ports have
been updated to match your ports tree.

Re: Dell 2950 1950
In response to Peter Grigor [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I looked through the archives and couldn't find much information on the megarc problem. Have you gotten any feedback on whether a megarc fix is forthcoming in the 6.x branch? That's because megarc isn't relevant to the problem, really. The x9xx series uses a newer RAID controller that doesn't use the same driver and is incompatible with megarc. My point is that there's no equiv at this time. BTW, are you in Pittsburgh too? :) Yes.

We're in the early stages of deployment with these.

Otherwise, everything 64-bit works as far as we can tell. We're a little grumpy that we don't have any way to monitor the RAID (our Dell x850 systems use megarc to automatically signal us if a drive fails) We've also had occasional problems with the reboot and shutdown commands not completing, but it's been so intermittent that we can't seem to isolate the cause.

I experienced several system crashes and one or two power failures do to empty battery but I didn't lose any data already saved on the disk (that I know of). The only inconvenience is that the system boots to single-user mode if the home slice isn't clean and I then have to fsck it manually. At that point the password for the key is already entered, so I'm not sure why the slice can't be fscked automatically. It could be the .eli extension, but I didn't investigate this any further. Thanks, reading man-pages and stuff I think I have understood that sectors are encrypted individually, so errors in one sector does not affect the decryption of other sectors. Is this correctly understood? It's a mess though if you have to manually run fsck. I can't figure out why either: if you have attached the device it ought to be transparrent. The geli man-page claims you can even encrypt the root device - wonder how fsck will work then...

Re: processes not getting fair share of available disk I/O
Sorry, yes. Nothing else contended for it though, so it doesn't appear to be a source of performance problems - it is probably a secondary effect from something else. I guess you're running some old version of FreeBSD since those line numbers don't correspond to anything reasonable in the current 6.x source, so I dunno what exactly. FreeBSD 6.0 The rest looks fine at a quick glance too. =20 What should I be looking for? Do I need to collect stats for a long period of time, or is a few seconds enough? Dd can kill the transfer in about 3 seconds. You need to make sure your sampling while the system is in the bad state. A mutex that has a lot of acquisitions and a lot of contention for those acquisitions is a performance bottleneck. Nothing below falls into that class - in particular it's definitely not Giant causing performance loss to the filesystem.

Re: How safe is encrypted disks? (data integrity)
I have been thinking to make /home on my laptop encrypted - seems like a good idea if it gets stolen. Now, how safe is this? Not in terms of the strength of the encryption algorithm, but in terms of integrity. I have no insight on the code, but as nobody else answered, my response may be better than nothing. as safe as unencrypted unless you won't forget password. if just perform encryption before writing sector, and decryption after reading - so it's as safe as underlaying hardware. while i'm using gbde not geli, it's true too IMHO. I experienced several system crashes and one or two power failures do to empty battery but I didn't lose any data already saved on the disk (that I know of). exactly will behave as crash on unencrypted partition. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How safe is encrypted disks? (data integrity)
Another thing to consider is the performance hit when using geli with a high encryption. I have mine set to the highest (I think) bit possible and when transferring anything ~500MB+ it lags the system a bit to do the encryption. not a problem at all for me (and most users i think) when encrypted partition is used only for really private data which are rarely huge files. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: disk I/O tuning parameters
Is there a different, more detailed, description of its effects (and/or similar tuning parameters) than found in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-disk.html Is there a way to limit the runningspace, bufspace, or similar parameters on a per disk, per process, or per file basis rather than system wide? I haven't been able to find anything. I need a way to protect the disk I/O bandwidth of one process from other processes. Having its own disk, and running at rtprio is not IMHO no, while it could be useful. priority schedules only CPU usage. BTW - if you are processing huge files often consider editing /usr/src/sys/sys/param.h and change #define MAXPHYS (128 * 1024) /* max raw I/O transfer size */ to #define MAXPHYS (1024 * 1024) /* max raw I/O transfer size */ it won't make disk I/O scheduling better (even a bit worse) but will GREATLY speed up huge file I/O. bump hi and lorunning space at least twice the default (4 and 2MB) maybe more if you have many concurrent disks. i'm using that settings on every FreeBSD machine, no problems. when making new filesystem set -a option right when doing newfs (read man).

OpenBSM on 6.2-RC1
Hi list, I'm experimenting with OpenBSM and I'm stuck on something. I've read the manpages and the handbook section related to it, so either I'm missing something obvious, or it doesn't work properly yet. audit_control (relevant part): flags:+all,-all:no naflags:lo audit_user: username:+all,-all:no I had fm,fd on my username as a test, for chmod and trying to remove files. These don't get logged at all. The only thing I've seen thru praudit is su'ing to root (which gets logged, regardless if I input the right password or not). The expected result (at least from my basic knowledge of OpenBSM's syntax, I've been around this for a few hours only) would be logging every success and every failure from my username. I am not using console logins, this is over SSH. I'm not sure if they're related. The only way I could make OpenBSM log any more than su'ing up was to change naflags to all. According to http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/audit-config.html, The naflags option specifies audit classes to be audited for non-attributed events, such as the login process and system daemons. So the only thing that could be happening based on my limited knowledge of this software, is that somehow it cannot distinguish usernames on SSH connections. This seems odd, to say the least, so I'm resorting to the list, in the hopes that someone can point me in the right direction.

As for smbd, I can't seem to get incoming packets past the ipf firewall. Would anyone have any ideas for why things aren't working for smbd and have solutions for how you got your ipf firewall to work with smbd?

You have to tell the other machines on your network to use the IP of
the local DNS server for domain name resolution. If you are using
DHCP you can configure your DHCP server to give this information with
the IP. Otherwise you must manually do it, which will be different
between operating systems.

Thanks for the tip.
I am using static public IPs in all my machines in my network. Yes I
have added the IP of the local caching nameserver in /etc/resolve.conf
but it still not resolving.
I am still puzzled and any help would be appreciated.
As I said, the local caching nameserver can resolve domain names on
it's own but I can't seem to use it from my network.
Thanks.
