Big ups to Bjoern A. Zeeb for his multiple IP patch as well as his
friendly support service ;)

I'd just like to confirm, however, if this is how it's done?

# cd /usr/src
# wget http://people.freebsd.org/~bz/bz_jail7-20080727-11-at146062.diff
# patch -p6  bz_jail7-20080727-11-at146062.diff
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
# make installworld
# make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
# mergemaster -U

Now to the jail part (this is exactly how I created the jail in the first place)

# export D=/usr/jail/camel
# mkdir -p $D
# make world DESTDIR=$D
# cd etc/
# make distribution DESTDIR=$D
# mount -t devfs devfs $D/dev

Also, under jail_X_ip in rc.conf, must I enter the IPs one by one or
can I specify an entire range?

Thank you all!

secure access to AS/400 ?

2008-08-01 Thread B . Cook


Hello All,

Seems OT, but I have been asked to give someone remote access to an AS/ 
400 we have here.


As I am not knowledgeable about AS/400's I do not know if there is an  
openssh/sshd app that could be put on there.  They give everyone  
access 'locally' via telnet and some IBM gui app at the moment; the  
software:


eNetwork Personal Communications AS/400
Client Access Express for Windows
Workstation Program
Version 4.3

If they can not find some form of sshd to put on the AS/400, I could  
give people access to a FreeBSD via ssh and then have them use  
'something' to connect to it.


Is there some terminal emulator that I would have to give them?

I don't know how the AS works or what people use on it or use it for..  
so please excuse the seemingly ignorant questions..


Thanks in advance

Re: dumping mounted file systems with insufficient space...

2008-08-01 Thread Modulok

 I can use dump(8) an active, mounted file systems via the -L flag.
 According to the manual, this first creates a snapshot of the file
 system, to the .snap directory of the file systems root. What if the
 file system to be dumped, does not have sufficient free-space to store
 a snapshot? Can I still safely dump(8) a mounted file system?

 A snapshot doesn't take any significant /extra/ space itself.  Rather it
 consists of marking the state of the system at that time and provides a
 view (via the .snap directory) of that state of the filesystem.  Of course,
 subsequent modifications of the filesystem can cause more space than
 otherwise expected to be used up -- as both the snapshot and the latest
 versions of anything have to be kept around -- but how much impact this has
 depends entirely on the IO traffic characteristics of your particular
 filesystem and cannot be predicted in any useful fashion without a great
 deal more information.

 If snapshots won't work for you, another trick (if you can swing it) is to
 have the data on a RAID1 mirror.  Then you can detach one of the mirrors,
 back it up and then reattach the mirror.  Doing this with gmirror is a
 simple matter of writing about a 10 line shell script.  Other mirroring
 hard/soft-ware may be less cooperative.  However you do it, this will
 involve an extended period while mirrors resynchronise after the backup
 where your file system won't have the desired level of resilience.

 If you can't use snapshots, can't split the mirror and you can't unmount
 the filesystem, then the next best thing is to make the filesystem as
 quiescent as possible. Basically, shut down any processes using the
 filesystem.  That's probably as unacceptable as any of the other
 alternatives  -- in which case, you can still go ahead and dump the
 filesystem, but don't expect the  generated dump to be 100% consistent.
 It  will be 'good enough' for some purposes, but files actively involved
 in IO at  the time the dump is made are likely to be corrupted.

   Cheers,

   Matthew

Timeout on wireless ipw0 using wpa and dhcp

Hello,

I have been having an issue with maintaining a connection that seems
to hang at random intervals. The only messages I see are about the
interface 'ipw0: link state changed to DOWN' then UP a few times until
the connection is reestablished or I have to '/etc/rc.d/netif restart
ipw0'.  If left on it's own reestablishing the connection takes under
60 seconds, using netif is about 5 seconds including typing the
command.  

I suspect an issue with either dhcp, wpa_supplicant, or the ipw
wireless driver.  I was not able to get the ipw driver to work at all
in FreeBSD-6.3 and suspect the driver.  Is there anyway to pin down
the problem?

Re: rc.suspend/rc.resume was: resume (hate to even ask)

Can you verify that acpi is loaded and working, 'sysctl -a |grep
acpi' ?  Suspend/Resume will not work properly with apm and requires
acpi.  You might also try disabling the loading of any extra modules,
particularly sound, on boot in /boot/loader.conf and see if any of that
helps.  

I needed to load acpi_ibm, add a tweak for the mouse
in /boot/loader.conf and stop a wireless interface in rc.suspend before
resume started working properly on my thinkpad T23.  Only loading
acpi_ibm seemed intuitive to me, I still don't know what
'hint.psm.0.flags=0x3000' does, and I suspect issues with the ipw
driver in FreeBSD but can't find any information on that.

Hope something there helps,

You could go to the port in /usr/ports/ and make patch which will do
everything right up to building the port. Then browse the sources to see
what has been selected. Sometimes its easier to see the options selected
by watching the port compile. A simple make will compile the port but
not install it. A potential problem is that if a build dependency is
missing it will try to build and install that first.

A build dependency is something needed to build the port but not needed
to run the port. Precompiled ports bypass the need for build
dependencies.

Or you could just study the Makefile and supporting files in /usr/ports/
to see what the defaults are for your particular precompiled port.

It's possible to set up a sshd on an AS/400 (aka iSeries aka system i).
AFAIK you need to run OS Version V5R3M or higher on AS/400 and install
the PASE tools lic-program. For more information see the links below:   

http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/enable/site/porting/tools/openssh.html
http://wiki.midrange.com/index.php/SSH

Depending on the version of the Client Access Emulator, it's allso possible 
to setup TN5250 via SSL, but you need to configure SSL on the AS/400 to make 
this happen.

There are at least two 5250 terminal emulatiors in the ports tree. 
(/usr/ports/net/tn5250 and tn5250j).

Some ports ignored by portversion

2008-08-01 Thread Mike Clarke

With pkg_version I get the following:

curlew:/root# pkg_version -vL=
diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_10  needs updating (port has 1.5.0.07.01_11)
en-openoffice.org-GB-2.3.1 needs updating (port has 2.4.1)

ocaml-lablgl-1.02_1needs updating (port has 1.03)
ocaml-lablgtk2-2.6.0_4 needs updating (port has 2.10.1_1)
p5-Error-0.17014   needs updating (port has 0.17015)
phpMyAdmin-2.11.5.2needs updating (port has 2.11.8.r1)
speex-1.2.r1,1 needs updating (port has 1.2.r1_1,1)
unison-2.13.16_1   needs updating (port has 2.27.57_1)
wine-1.1.0,1   needs updating (port has 1.1.2,1)

... which is what I would expect but portversion gives:

curlew:/root# portversion -vL=
gnutlsneeds updating (port has 2.4.1_1)
k3b   needs updating (port has 1.0.4_3)
kdebase   needs updating (port has 3.5.8_3)
kdebase-kompmgr   needs updating (port has 3.5.8_2)
p5-Error  needs updating (port has 0.17015)
speex needs updating (port has 1.2.r1_1,1)

The missing ports (*jdk*, openoffice.org, firefox-2, ocaml*, 
phpMyAdmin, unison and wine) are all marked as held in pkgtools.conf. 
Until today they would be shown by portversion as being in need of 
updating but held. I think portversion also used to show the version 
number of the currently installed port.

The missing ports don't even show up in a full listing with 
portbersion -v.

This change in behaviour might be a result of to me experimenting with 
portmaster as a possible replacement for portupgrade. In order to 
ensure that the held ports wouldn't get upgraded by portmaster I 
created +IGNOREME files in their /var/db/pkg directories.

I imagine the ports database must have been affected as a result of this 
but I've tried deleting the +IGNOREME files, and even removing the 
holds from pkgtools.conf but that made no difference to portversion. 
I've tried pkgdb with -F and -u options but still no joy.

It looks like it's not just portversion that's affected, pkgdb can't 
find the missing ports either:

curlew:/root# pkgdb -o gnutls-2.4.1
security/gnutls
security/gnutls
curlew:/root# pkgdb -o unison-2.13.16_1
?
?
curlew:/root# 

How do I repair my ports?

If you got the precomipled port from official sources then that which is

the X stuff.

If someone else precompiled the port, then ask them.

Hi David,

~From what I can tell here, that information is not recorded in the
package file.  For instance, I build a lot of packages with custom
options in what I call a template jail.  Then I build other jails and
run pkg_add for all of the packages that I want to install in them.

In the template jail, there's a /var/db/ports/ directory with
subdirectories for each port that uses the OPTIONS variable.  My
/var/db/ports/wget/options file looks like this:

# This file is auto-generated by 'make config'.
# No user-servicable parts inside!
# Options for wget-1.11.2_1
_OPTIONS_READ=wget-1.11.2_1
WITHOUT_GNUTLS=true
WITHOUT_IPV6=true
WITHOUT_NLS=true
WITH_OPENSSL=true

I just logged into another jail and extracted the wget .tgz file into a
temp directory and ran some text searches like so:

jail16# zcat /packages/wget-1.11.2_1.tgz | tar xvfB -
x +CONTENTS
x +COMMENT
x +DESC
x +MTREE_DIRS
x man/man1/wget.1.gz
x bin/wget
x etc/wgetrc.sample
x info/wget.info
jail16# find . -type f -exec grep -H WITH_ {} \;
jail16# find . -type f -exec grep -H WITHOUT_ {} \;


As you can see, nothing matched in the extracted package files.  I
wonder how easy it would be to add an enhancement to pkg_create to store
the /var/db/ports/portname/options file to the package as +OPTIONS?

That would be very helpful to what I'm doing, and I'd also like to see
better support for maintaining those options when upgrading ports from
source.

Can anyone comment on the pkg_add enhancement and what side-effects that
might have?

Regards,
Greg

If they can not find some form of sshd to put on the AS/400


Normally it all boils down to: they could, but will not bother to (they 
probably never used it and don't have experience with it, anyway).




I could give people access to a FreeBSD via ssh and then have them use 
'something' to connect to it.


I would not do so, since you would need local users on the FreeBSD box, 
which I usually try and avoid.




  Is there some terminal emulator that I would have to give them?

If you really want to go this way, tn5250 is in ports.




VPNs (with whatever technology) might be a better solution.



I forgot: altough I never tried this, you may want to experiment with 
stunnel to allow for telnet/SSL on the client side, without the need to 
enable it on the server side.


Disadvantage is, you lose the ability to discriminate which user can 
connect from the outside and which cannot.

Question re IPs-to-CIDR conversion program

2008-08-01 Thread Mark Wilson


 I'm trying to write a program that will take 2 IPs and return an appropriate 
CIDR which contains both.
I found this file: ips-to-cidr-nets.pl listed under ~eivind on FreeBSD, which 
sounds like it might be a good model.
Unfortunately, I can't download the file (get Forbidden) page, nor locate 
user eivind on the FreeBSD Homepages page to ask him/her about it.
(It's dated 2001, in case that helps; apparently eivind is long gone...)

1. Can anyone get me a copy of this program? Or...
2. Put me in touch with its author so I can ask about it?? Or...
3. Point me to another program which does what I need?

Thanks. I'm very new to all this; I was able to cobble together a CIDR-to-IPs 
calculator in JavaScript, but going this other direction seems much harder, and 
far more confusing.

Alltough the system's games group does not require much
disk space, there's a way not to build them:

Create /etc/src.conf or midify it with the following statement:

WITHOUT_GAMES

Refer to man src.conf for further things not to build.

If you know anything about Perl, you can use the port:

  /usr/ports/net/p5-Net-CIDR-Lite

to convert back-and-forth. For documentation, I referred to:

Upgrade to 7.0? How to do that is documented on freebsd.org in the handbook.

If the driver isn't available in 6[.x]-STABLE (I have no idea, I run 
7-STABLE), it's not been backported, meaning that there hasn't been (or not 
sufficient) interest in doing that, and I'd presume that you don't want to do 
that either (or lack the technical skills to do so, which I don't mean in a 
derogative way), so your only real option is to upgrade.

Oh, by the way: it's generally not considered good manners to cross-post to 
several mailinglists. One is enough, and in your case, -questions was just 
fine.

After doing  make installworld  you should do a  make delete-old .
During the latter which you will be prompted to delete the various bits
which you no longer require.

To make the device available without recompiling your kernel you do the 
following:


kldload if_zyd

To have zyd available after reboots add it to /boot/loader.conf as:

Uh, bad idea. :-) If I remember correctly, you cannot update the
system within one rush if you don't use the binary update with
the freebsd-update utility.

According to your script

 cd /usr/src  \
 make buildworld  \
 make buildkernel  \

seems to be okay up to this point, but

 make installworld  \
 make installkernel  \

is not recommended to be done in MUM. Refer to the corresponding
section of the handbook: Build world and kernel first, then
install the new kernel and reboot the system into SUM with it;
then run mergemaster -p, install the world and run mergemaster.
I think make delete-old comes afterwards.

But I think you can update the jails camel and box as you
described.

The handbook will tell you more precisely what to do.

IPFW hasn't been removed. You can compile it into your kernel or
load the module (I usually do the first one); the tools to control
ipfw are part of the base system (/sbin/ipfw).

If you don't want to use ipfw, don't compile it into your kernel
and don't load the module.

It would be better if you post what version you are running and to what 
version you want to update / upgrade. If you want to use some RELEASE, 
you can user freebsd-update command for binary update of base and jails.


Also it is not good to do all the above steps as one chained command.

From the subject line, I imagine Jack is using 6.3-STABLE and wants to 
backport the driver from 7.0 to 6.3.  Backporting most drivers from 7.0 to 
6.x isn't a big deal (can generally just copy over and compile).  However, 
zyd(4) is a wireless driver and the net80211 wireless networking stack is 
quite different in 6.x vs 7.0, so that is where it would be complicated to 
backport the driver.  I'm not intimately familiar with net80211 in either 
branch, so I'm unsure how much work the backport would be.

Reed, I'm not expert enough to comment on what you've
top-posted here (the contents of src.conf related to
your needs).  It does look like both of us forgot to
do the normal reply-all so I'm posting this back
to the FBSD Questions list.  I will mention that
not having sendmail, you may break something (but
I'm not sure if that particular knob means that there
will be no local mailer at all).  Cron(8), for example,
uses a local mailer to notify you of cronjob output,
and having cron work is a Good Thing(tm) in my experience
as a sysadmin.

What versions?

Shutdown problems on virtual PC

2008-08-01 Thread Lorin Lund


I run FreeBSD 6 under Parallesl Workstation.
When I try to shutdown with

shutdown -p now

It acts like the -p isn't there.  I'm not sure what power management
protocol Paralells Workstation uses.  Nor do I know what the
default is for FreeBSD 6 (default kernel).  What would be the next older 
power

management?  Is there some knob to turn to tell FreeBSD 6 to use
something older?  Or do I have to rebuild the kernel?

X won't start up; No matching Device section

2008-08-01 Thread Helge Rohde

Hello List,
I got an old TFT that uses a special connector to a CHIPS ct65554 graphics 
card. However, although the ct65554 is listed as supported, it is not 
recognized by the chips driver. System is FreeBSD 7-Release AMD64. I am 
pretty sure that the same xorg.conf worked under i386. 


pciconf -lvc claims device='65554 Flat Panel/LCD CRT GUI Accelerator' for the 
card, however although i do have an xorg.conf Device section containing 

Driver chips
Chipset ct65554

X wont start up. Xorg.0.log complains:

(II) CHIPS: Driver for Chips and Technologies chipsets: ct65520, ct65525,
ct65530, ct65535, ct65540, ct65545, ct65546, ct65548, ct65550,
ct65554, ct6, ct68554, ct69000, ct69030, ct64200, ct64300
(II) Primary Device is: 
(WW) CHIPS: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:3:7:0) found
(EE) No devices detected.


Any ideas?

Re: Troubleshooting a 3Ware 9550SX under 6.3

2008-08-01 Thread Patrick C

This is a very important point. By turning the cache on, you have not
resolved an underlying performance issue, if there even is one. Please
try dd again with a well-sized bs= parameter, or use some more
accurate reporting like iozone, sysbench, etc.

Also, I am not sure how much memory is on the card, but that is likely
COMPLETELY in cache at that point so you're not learning anything.
Write a couple gigs to get some real numbers.

Dear List members

I am posting this question again since so far I have not been able to 
find any solution. But I do believe there is one -- which I cannot find 
and hopefully someone will be able to share her/his effective solution

 Dear folks
 my sincere apologies if this has been discussed earlier, which I
 seriously doubt, since even after googling for nearly five days I
 couldn't find any solution.
 Recently my company has updated their server to Windows 2003. The
 earlier 2000 server didn't have SSL enabled, so rdp/rdesktop worked
 for me without any problem. But now, as I try to connect to the
 server, it simply gives me
 ERROR: recv: Connection reset by peer
 I know for a fact that the server is working fine, since all IE and
 remote desktop softwares are working (they have to install the
 certificate at the beginning, once). But how can I connect from my
 freebsd box?
 any pointers/links sujjestions are highly welcome.
 Thanks.

If you cannot get an answer here, you might try the Microsoft site.

As far as I know, power management by ACPI is the default. In
order to shut down a system that does not have ACPI, but APM,
ACPI needs to be disabled in most cases, as well as APM needs
to be enabled manually. I don't know how Paralells Workstation
handles this, but older PCs (with APM, but without ACPI) can
be shut down this way.

(I hope I did understand your question as intended.)
