sendmail ldap_routing question
Hi all, First of all I must apologize for off topic, I havent found any better place to ask this question. I'm using ldap routing feature with sendmail. Some days ago I decided to use a 'sendertoo' flag for ldap_routing in order to check senders against routing database as well as recepients. However it doesn't work for me off box. While tracing rules with -bt switch I found a strange thing - LDAP is not asked on 'mail from:' stage at all. It is used only on 'rcpt to:' stage. So my question is, does anybody using 'sendertoo' option succefully and if so what am I missing here. Thanks in advance for any possible points.

I will soon be installing an Areca ARC-1110 and 3x 1.5TB Seagate Barracuda SATAs into a 3.2GHz Northwood P4 with 1GB of RAM, and I'm wondering which would be the most stable filesystem to use. I've read the bigdisk page [1] and the various information about ZFS on the FreeBSD Wiki [2]. I'm aware of the tuning requirements that ZFS requires, and upgrading to 4GB of RAM would be quite possible as it was understood beforehand that ZFS requires a large quantity of it. My questions are as follows. 1. I'm aware of the fact that ZFS works better on 64-bit platforms, and that alone has me thinking that it's not a good fit for this particular machine. But apart from that, it seems that ZFS is not yet stable enough for my environment (only about 25 users but in production nonetheless). To me, [3] paints all sorts of ugly pictures, which can be summarized as count on ZFS-related panics and deadlocks happening fairly regularly and disabling ZIL in the interest of stability will put your data at risk. Comments about live systems using ZFS (on 7.0-RELEASE or 7-STABLE) would be appreciated. I'm using 7.0-RELEASE/amd64 with ZFS on several machines without any stability problems. Here are the configs (prefetch is disabled for performance reasons): - with 1GB RAM (probably with just 1GB RAM system would be faster using UFS2 instead of ZFS) vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=1 vm.kmem_size=512M vfs.zfs.arc_max=150M (at first it was 200M, but lots of swapping made me reduce it) - with 2GB RAM: vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=1 vm.kmem_size=950M (could be higher, even 1536M, but then there is not much RAM left for your apps) - with 8GB RAM: vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=1 vm.kmem_size=1536M (this could probably be higher: up to 2047M, but I haven't tried it). General rule to make it stable is to make the difference between vm.kmem_size and vfs.zfs.arc_max larger. vfs.zfs.arc_max is by default 3/4 of vm.kmem_size. You can achieve it by making vm.kmem_size bigger (but this leaves less memory for your applications) or reducing vfs.zfs.arc_max (but this reduces performance, since less memory will be available for caching). Problem with stability comes when kmem usage is at it's peak. arc_max is just a value after some of it will be deleted. But in some cases (high I/O activity) it will grow faster than the thread that reduces it (to a size less than arc_max) can delete. 2. [1] appears to be a bit dated. Nevertheless, I'm inclined to think that the status described there (as well as in various man pages) still applies to UFS2 on 7.0-RELEASE. Please correct me if I'm wrong or let me know if the state of affairs has improved significantly in 7-STABLE. 2a. Does the information contained in [1] apply to ZFS as well? [1] is outdated. GEOM, GPT, UFS2 and ZFS are safe to use for many hundreds of terabytes. What is limited is MBR partitioning used by fdisk (2TB limit). 3. As the array will be for data only and not be booted, will it be possible to use fdisk to slice it up, or will I need to use gpt? fdisk can be used for slicing for disks that are up to 2TB. But I would recomment to use GPT (which doesn't have this limit) instead. There is no reason not to. 4. My planned course of action will be to attempt to newfs the device itself (da0, all 3TB of it) or 1 full-disk slice (da0s1). Failing that, I will attempt to gconcat da0s1 and da0s2 (1.5TB each), although I suspect that may not work since for one thing, growfs is not yet 64-bit clean. In either case, I'm very interested in using gbde/geli to encrypt the fs. If either of these paths are not possible or recommended, are there any suggestions for alternate means of creating a 3TB fs? If you will go for the ZFS route instead of UFS2 then don't make one logical array from your disks (da0) in your RAID controller, but instead make one logical array to be one phisical disk (so you have da0, da1 and da2) so you can use ZFS RAID functionality instead. If you are going to use UFS2 then you must use gjournal for disks of that size (or you will have background fscks that can last for ages and die a horrible death saying not enough memory). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: UFS2 or ZFS for 3TB disk?
. . lots of explanations how to make ZFS stable and usable deleted after reading. . . IMHO, you should be using ZFS for what you want to accomplish. If you do go the UFS2 route, I would recommend you set background_fsck=no in definitely yes. but UFS works fine on 10TB volume :) and works FAST. just use larger blocks and fragments (like 4-8K fragment) and reduce inode numbers - without this fsck will take REALLY long. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've tried portsdb -uf and pkgdb with the F, L and u options but still
no joy.
I'm not sure if this is relevant but a while ago I deinstalled apache
1.3 and php 4 but forgot to deinstall phpMyAdmin. Today I installed
apache 2.2 with php 5 and unsuccessfully tried to deinstall the old
phpMyAdmin before doing this. Apache and php installed OK and the old
phpMyAdmin works but really ought to be upgraded. I tried to deinstall
phpMyAdmin again after installing the new packages but still have the
same problem.
What should I do to persuade the old version to go?

Hmmm... not entirely sure what has actually gone wrong there, but I suspect
your /var/db/pkg directory is probably in a bit of a mess. Deinstalling
phpMyAdmin is simply a matter of removing almost all of the files under
/usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin -- the only one the port tries to preserve is
config.inc.php
Can you try:
~ # pkg_delete -f phpMyAdmin-2.11.5.2
If the worst comes to the worst, you can do this (which is certainly *not*
recommended in the general case, just it happens to work for phpMyAdmin which
is a port without other things depending on it, and that installs everything
into one directory):
~ # cd /usr/local/www
~ # cp phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php /root
~ # rm -rf phpMyAdmin
~ # cd /var/db/pkg
~ # rm -rf phpMyAdmin-2.11.5.2
~ # pkgdb -F
Note: there's no need to reinstall phpMyAdmin because you've upgraded
Apache or even PHP. phpMyAdmin is all native PHP code and identical
on disk for whatever combination of PHP interpreter and web server you
use. You just need to copy the Apache config stuff into the new httpd.conf
(ie. based on what 'pkg_info -Dx phpMyAdmin' produces).
Note2: 3.0.1 will be out soon.
Cheers,
Matthew

Re: mysql connection through ssl tunnel
Now I just need to figure out how to start it on reboot, but that
is something I've been meaning to learn, anyway, so I don't mind.
I hope you guys will bear with me just a little more... I have
spent the day trying to figure out how to create an rc script for
autossh. Very cool, and not as hard as I'd anticipated. It is
attached below.
The script works perfectly *iff* I run it from the command line as
a non-root user, like so:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/autossh start
However, it does NOT work when executed by root. Instead, I get the
following error message in /var/log/messages
messages:Oct 21 19:01:38 on autossh[89267]: ssh exited
prematurely with status 255; autossh exiting
So (my understanding), autossh is starting, and tries to create the
tunnel, but the tunnel creation fails with the unhelpful 255 error
message.
But only when executed by root. That's the puzzling part.
I don't allow root logins on this server, but don't see how that
could cause this problem
I'm stumped. Any hints, much appreciated.

Nothing, except you're re-inventing the wheel. rc.subr already
has a mechanism for running commands as another user. Instead
of defining a new start() function, simply add something like:
: ${autossh_user:='admin'}
towards the top of the script. (This also means you can override
the setting by defining 'autossh_user=someoneelse' in /etc/rc.conf
in the usual way)

After having had a short look at the source of dump, I developed another idea: dump applies some criteria weather to access (and dump) an inode or not.

The only problem would be to implement a workaround for those that don't have a parent inode anymore (file name lost), i. e. those on the 1st hierarchy stage within the home directory. Dump's purpose is to ensure that the dump will be complete in the sense of containing the full path to any file that is on the tape, and your purpose is different, but I suspect much of the find parent logic may be reusable. I have to admit that it's a bit complicated. Programming applications in C is my forte, hehe, but dump's C code is very much lowlevel.

You're not understanding the FTP protocol properly, specifically the difference between Passive and Active mode. This is why you're having issues. You need to punch firewall holes to your FTP server on the following ports: Inbound: TCP port 21 (main ftpd daemon) Inbound: TCP ports 49152 to 65535 (used in FTP passive mode) Outbound: TCP port 20 (used in FTP active mode) Yes, you read that range correctly. And yes, it's quite large. Yes, there is a way to diminish it, but it will affect other programs on FreeBSD, so I do not recommend adjusting it. It's controlled by sysctls. See the -U option of ftpd, but note that it doesn't do anything for FreeBSD 5.0 or later. I highly recommend you stick the FTP server on its own IP address (e.g. bind the FTP server to its own IP using IP aliases), and then apply those rules to a specific IP address, e.g.: ipfw add 120 allow tcp from any to ftp.server.ip 21 in ipfw add 121 allow tcp from any to ftp.server.ip 49152-65536 in ipfw add 122 allow tcp from ftp.server.ip 20 to any out Finally, I recommend if this machine is RELENG_6 or later, that you look in to using pf(4) instead.

man -t odd page size
Hello there my friends. I happen to have this little problem and was wondering if somebody could have a quick answer. I'm fed up of reading man pages on my monitor, so I begun to turn them into pdf. In order to do so i just issue the following command: man -t 3 getopt | ps2pdf14 - man_getopt It _does_ work, but the problem is that man -t ( -t == /usr/bin/groff -S -man) formats the man page in a really non-standart page size ( %%DocumentMedia: Default 612 792 0 () () ... /PageSize [ 612 792 ] ) which .. well .. sucks .. Is there an easy way to get man to format the man page using plain good ISO 216 standard A4 page size? In case you are wondering: yes, google didn't help and yes, the man pages for groff, troff, nroff, ditroff, huge list of etceteras didn't help either. and on a side note: will we ever get to see ISO 216 A4 as the default choice for output instead of not-standard, only usefull in the US but useless in the rest of the whole world letter page size and the likes???

Yes, you read that range correctly. And yes, it's quite large. Yes,
there is a way to diminish it, but it will affect other programs on
FreeBSD, so I do not recommend adjusting it. It's controlled by
sysctls. See the -U option of ftpd, but note that it doesn't do
anything for FreeBSD 5.0 or later.
as far as I remember, FTP servers (with the not so unexpected exception of MS
IIS' FTP service) can be configured to listen on specific ports for passive
transfers.
If you don't have a busy server, a few ports ( 10 ? ) would do. Then you can
firewall it as needed.
This is, of course, an application (service ) configuration as opposed to what
Jeremy mentioned, I believe , which relies on the servers high ports
definition, which yes, will affect the whole tcp stack in the server.

Exactly .. you got it just the way I wanted .. after your explanantion, the question _begs_ to be asked: do we, citizens of ISO 216 adopting countries, have to walk that cumbersome path in order to get something as simple as an ISO compliant document?? Shouldn't it be the other way around??? Perhaps, but since the roots of *BSD are in the USA, letter was a sensible default (at the time). That's a fact and I couldn't agree more with your assertion. Now, if a collection of FreeBSD members from ISO 216 adopting companies wanted to figure out a way to put default paper size into some kind of locale option that man (and other tools) could use, then that would go a long way towards reducing the pain. -- Matt Now, and taking into consideration your 100% correct assumption and the fact that letter was a sensible default (at the time) wouldn't it make a lot more sense to do it the other way around? I mean .. What about figuring out a way to put default paper size = letter into some kind of locale option that man (and other tools) could use and turn the ISO 216 standard into the default option? Once again, your first assumption about the fact that letter was a sensible default (at the time) is 100% correct, but ... and having as a counterpoint that those times have changed dramatically is it so hard to see the benefits associated with adopting ISO 216 (A4 in particular) as default page size instead of letter? I don't work for an ISO 216 adopting company, and hopefully I never will, I don't speak for them, and hopefully I never will ... I'm just a citizen of the long list of countries who adhere to the ISO 216 and I'd really like to see FreeBSD apps slowly turn to use ISO 216 by default (or at least provide a painless flag like -pa4 or the likes) instead of non-standard formats which only benefit a portion of it's user base, putting the rest of us to stretchs in order to get optimal results. If there's an ISO standar, why not stick to it? I understand that it may have been an inconvenience in the past times .. but those times are long past now, and ISO 216 _is_the_standard_ to which _most_ countries (let alone companies) adhere :S With all due respect: that's my point.
