Completely jailed tinderbox?

Dear list, Has anyone ever succeeded to run a tinderbox in a jail who is willing to elaborate on the configuration because it's driving me NUTS. Happy to do that off-list and summarise later on. Looks like neither NFS nor nullfs mounts would work in a jail which is breaking tinderbox builds.

IP-Based Apache Config

Hi there, I could need a quick hand from someone with apache22 and maybe apache-in-a-jail experience. I want to set up locally apache22 on a given IP (it's in a jail here) and use files for name service. nsswitch.conf does this per default so files take precedence -- if resolution worked that

Re: 'Serious' crypto? (was: FreeBSD router - large scale)

Hi Chuck, Thanks for the response. Or is it still worthwhile to consider hardware accelerators such as the ones guys like soekris [1] and others offer? Does anyone have an idea how much such an accelerator may help on older vs. on newer hardware? Something like a 1GHz P3 or equivalent can

Re: 'Serious' crypto?

Hi Matthew, Thanks for the response. NAT. Doing serious crypto slows things up somewhat. I've been pondering this since a while but thought that crypto engines on modern hardware would make 'extra' hardware accelerators obsolete? Yes -- in many use cases this is true. Modern

Re: 'Serious' crypto?

Hi Matthew, And a hardware crypto device will level HTTPS to the HTTP volume without it? Probably. The usual approach with HTTPS once traffic levels get big enough is crypto-offload. You use a separate device as the crypto endpoint: typically built into a load balancer. You can do

Dear list, This probably is obvious but I don't seem to be able to figure out where I should look in order to learn why I can't compile the bloomin' kernel, pse see below. Every time I update my KERNCONF, I try to remember to keep a copy of GENERIC so I can diff against the updated one. This

Estimado Jorge, do the makebuildworld first. That's odd - I even *installed* world without any issue? Will try now anyways, though. Life's a mystery. Gracias por apoyar, Saludos cordiales, Peter. -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT! Jetzt freischalten unter

Lock order reversals on RELENG_8

Hi, Are these lock order reversals reported any reason for preoccupation and/or should I report elsewhere? The kernel I just built does not boot at all, so I don´t know whether these are a closed issue already. I´m off for a couple of days and will retry then. Thanks regards, Peter. ---

Re: Desktop Install Option

Hi, So, I've been wondering about something. FreeBSD is a general purpose operating system, even though it has historically only heavily been used on servers. Why is it that FreeBSD doesn't provide a desktop installation, something similar to say Debian's option of Standard Desktop? For

Re: FreeBSD Networking Questions / vlan, lagg, routing, FIBs, ezjail

Now, it is my suspicion that the apparent need for promisc at the router end indeed is an apperent one and not really the router's fault but rather the other end's. The other end, in this case, is the server below. If the server, with its single MIB, default-routes its packets through one

Re: FreeBSD Networking Questions / vlan, lagg, routing, FIBs, ezjail

Hiya Nikos, re list, Hm, the promiscuous mode must be needed for the vlan driver. But you don't have to set it. It does not work without, at the router end. Suspicions, please see below. I can't think of any implication in a switched ethernet environment. It is just that every frame

Re: Fujitsu Siemens Promergy RX100S4

Hi, I think that if it is hardware RAID, you should see only one disk. My Promise controller does have my disks show up as ar0 -- but the disks are there as individuals (ad*) as well, and accessible (though I only use ar0*, for hopefully obvious reasons). At least, that's what I saw last

Hiya, re... The 1.4.9 version of mga may work. I'd give portdowngrade instructions for it, but the anoncvs server isn't answering. I did eye that, funny you say so. I found on some X.org repository that 1.4.9 was considerably 'younger' than 1.9.100. I may (might) have a look at it

FreeBSD Networking Questions / vlan, lagg, routing, FIBs, ezjail

Dear all, While I'm at it, I don't seem to be able to get my head around some networking items I observed (currently only vlan(4), not ng_vlan(4), if that makes a difference): - On my router, why do I have to set the base interface to promiscuous mode in order to get packets from/to my vlans
