You might also check ifconfig and make sure your network card is picking up an ip. Try to ping an internet host by ip as well (209.98.98.98 will work) to ensure it's not just a name resolution issue.

FreeBSD 4.7 on Dell Latitude - interesitng problems
Hi all, I'm running FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE on my Dell Latitude C600. I've run into a couple of interesting problems that I'm wondering if anyone else has had experience with, and may be able to help me: 1) I compiled a custom kernel, and like clockwork, every OTHER time I boot the machine, it hangs after detecting the parallel port. It hangs up between: ppi0: Parallel I/O on ppbus0 and ata1-slave: ATA identify retries exceeded ad0: 19077MB HITACHI_DK23DA-20 [38760/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33 The rest coming from a good boot, obviously. (The above is interesting, too -- I did not compile support for ata1 into my kernel, only ata0.) Kernel config file available upon request. As far as I've been able to tell, this did not happen with the Generic kernel. 2) Along with my C600, I have a C/Port II port replicator. When the laptop is docked, when I fire up X, it turns on the laptop's LCD display (even thought he lid is closed) and turns off my external monitor. When I shut down X (which I have to do using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, because I can't see the screen), the display returns to the external monitor. Any ideas on either of the above?

Re: Multiple FreeBSD SCSI Hosts
Dan Nelson wrote: In the last episode (Oct 18), Mike Thompson said: I'm interested in setting up two FreeBSD systems in a very simple clustering type configuration around centralized external SCSI storage devices for hardware redundancy. The specific configuration I'm thinking about is shown in the simple diagram below: +---+ +--+ +---+ | FreeBSD | | | | FreeBSD | | Host 1 | | External | | Host 2 | | (primary) | | SCSI | |(secondary)| | | |RAID/DRIVE| | | | SCSI r/w | | | | SCSI r/o | +-+-+ +---+--+---+ +-+-+ | | | | +---+ +---+ Whoa. Deja vu here. http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=Pine.LNX.4.44.0210101808560.3631-10;scribble.fsn.hu Your primary problem is that the disk cache on Host2 does not know about changes made to the filesystem by Host1. 1. Do the FreeBSD SCSI drivers support such a configuration by implementing the SCSI RESERVE/RELEASE commands to lock access to the SCSI bus? If so, which drivers for which specific SCSI adapters? Reserve/release looks like it is implemented for tape devices on open(), but not for disks (since it's legal to mount slice 1 on machine A but slice 2 on machine B, for example). Reserve/release is probably not useful in this situation anyway, as I don't know how easy it is to break a reservation (when host1 goes down, host2 has to break the reservation before it can acces the disk). 2. Many external raid controllers describe themselves as host dual capability. Is the type of configuration they are describing? Possibly. Most of the time it's to allow multiple hosts to access their own private storage, but you can usually force a volume to be visible on multiple ports. 3. Will the secondary server still experience a corrupted file system because of write caching by the primary server? If so, would it be possible to configure the primary server to write through the cache? Big time. The problem is not so much write caching on the primary, it's read caching on the secondary. Without a shared-storage filesystem, you're pretty much limited to NFS mounts (which are not all that bad). As for failover detection, one good way is to dedicate a small partition (da0s1a, for example) as a heartbeat partition. Host 1 writes a timestamp to /dev/da0s1a block 1 every second, Host 2 does the same thing on block 2. Each host then reads the other host's block, and if there are no updates for (say) 10 seconds, you can assume that the other host is dead, do a fsck, and mount the volume. Using the raw disk device bypasses any caches on the systems. Hi folks, I thought about a similar configuration, too. I found a manufactor for host controller (SCSI, Fibre Channel), who can deliver: ICP Vortex: http://www.icp-vortex.com/ - they have cluster ready host controller, but they always mirror, so you need 2 disk stacks.

RE: problem with network cards in server, plz help
The problem you describe is becoming common in the 4.x versions of FBSD. I have seen these solutions voiced previously in this list. 1.

In my case it is 192.168.1.1 * Then add to /etc/rc.conf a line similar to this: defaultrouter=192.168.1.1 using the correct address. * Also, make sure that something like the following is present: ifconfig_xxx=DHCP where xxx is the name of your network interface (dc0 in my case, use ifconfig to find out) (Kevin: Thank you for your messages) Question: What is the standard way to re-start the network interface to make sure that config files like rc.conf are read anew after being modified? Would ifconfig dc0 down ifconfig dc0 up do that? To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
xinetd FTP trouble
Last week I upgraded to xinetd-2.3.8 to bring us up to the lastest and
most secure version. Since the upgrade, all services but FTP have been
working fine. FTP will work for a few days, and then all of the sudden, no
longer accept connections. Sending xinetd a HUP results in the following
message:
ct 19 10:54:39 mercury xinetd[71519]: file descriptor of service ftp has
been closed
Oct 19 10:54:39 mercury xinetd[71519]: select reported EBADF but no bad
file descriptors were found
But, if I completely kill xinetd and then restart it, the service will
work properly again for a few days, until the same problem re-occurs. I'm
using the ftpd included in the base, and have the following entry for ftp
in my xinetd.conf file:
service ftp
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= root
server = /usr/libexec/ftpd
server_args = -l -l -S
}
Has anyone else seen anything like this before? Everything was working
great until the upgrade.
TIA!

Questions about dialup
Hi. Got a quick question. I'm unsure of the answer or where to look. I'm setting up one of our old machines as a freebsd dialup station for work to test local pops for linux compatibility for a local ISP. I also want to use it as a way for me to learn how to dialup to the internet using Freebsd. Considering I've only ever used it on a network, this will be new to me. Can anyone recommend a good linux/freebsd dialer software I could use? I'm using freebsd 4.6 on the machine and would like to install a dialer (and modem drivers if possible) so I can use it as a test dialer station. Any pointers, software suggestions, tutorials you can point me to or send my way would be great. Thank you.

Re: FreeBSD version of Linux's passwd -l
That's from the lock(1) man page, not the pw(8) man page. the relevant section from the pw man page is as follows: USER LOCKING Pw supports a simple password locking mechanism for users; it works by prepending the string `*LOCKED*' to the beginning of the password field in master.passwd to prevent successful authentication. The lock and unlock commands take a user name or uid of the account to lock or unlock, respectively. The -V, -C, and -q options as described above are accepted by these commands.

I have a Sandisk SDDR-75 which is listed as 'working with linux' if you do a google search.

How to use java, shockwave, etc..?
Hello all, I hope I'm asking a basic question. What should I do to set up my FreeBSD desktop with a browser that supports all (or at least most) linux plugins? I've had no luck with linux_base + linux-sun-jdk13, for example, with linux-opera or linux-mozilla ports. Using 4.7. Should I be using native browsers? If so, that means I can't download Linux plugins from the net, right? I'm beginning to think I'm the only one on the planet trying to use FreeBSD as a desktop machine. If this is true, I'd appreciate some honest advice to switch to a Linux distro, for example. I'm sticking with FreeBSD just because I use it on servers and I love it, but I'll switch if I have to.

Re: softupdates on /?
On Sat, Oct 19, 2002 at 11:40:34AM +0200, Gabriel Ambuehl wrote: during the process of setting up some new servers I noticed that sysinstall will enable softupdates by default for everything BUT /. Is there any risk if I set / to use softupdates as well? The problem with softupdates is that a modification to the contents of a file system would result in a transient use of sufficient space to contain both the old and new versions of all affected files. Normally this is not a problem, but in certain cases it can lead to file modifications failing because of a full filesystem even though there is ultimately sufficient space available. One common instance of this is doing a 'make installworld' or 'make installkernel' where typical small root partitions generated by sysinstall can be overflowed. Now, arguments about how large a root partition should be or whether it should be amalgamated into /usr are neither here not there, but the contents of a standard root partition are generally static between major upgrades so there's no advantage to be gained by turning softupdates on. (Nb. This assumes that /var and /tmp are (sensibly) on different partitions to the root). It works, but I'm not sure about the possible implications of this... For general use, softupdates on the root partition is not a problem. If your root partition is big enough to let you do whatever you need to by way of updating your system despite enabling softupdates, then you can turn it on with impunity. Of course, the size of the contents of the root partition tends to grow over time, so you may have to revisit that decision later on. It's also the case that modifications have been made to softupdates that ameliorate this effect, certainly in 5-CURRENT, not sure if they've been MFC'd to -STABLE though.

IPNAT/NATD issues-questions..
Dear, I have a couple of issues regarding the IPNAT or NATD of freebsd. In case that you dont have enough time, skip the next paragraph [description] and go to questions section. -=Description of problem=- I was using NATD for more than 3 years with no problem. By debbuging a problem in my IRC Fserve I noticed that connections originating from my router [that run NATD] were using very high port ranges, even though I had specifically configured the IRC fserve to be in a different lower range. When I stop using NATD and changed to IPNAT the problem dissaper and every client on my router allocated a port in his specified range. This was also solved my problem with DCC+RESUME. Because the NATD was changing the originating ports, the dcc transfer resume was not able to happen. With IPNAT the resume of DCC transfers had no problems, because the client was using what port he had requested. I am using statefull IPFW and for this reason, I wanted an exact port range. natd config file has only the use_same_ports and use sockets options. In IPFW rules I had the first line 50 divert natd all from any to any via ed0 -=END OF DESCRIPTION of problem=- Questions - a) Why did NATD changed my originating ports on my router. IPNAT didn't do anything like this, and the functionality is the same [my lan can connect with no problems to net] b) when NATD was used, I could see that the process of NATD consumed a high cpu time [almost 10-20% on a P166]. Where is the cpu time of the IPNAT? c) I believe that IPNAT doesnt have the overhead of NATD. So is IPNAT suggested for slower cpu machines (??). Am I wrong in this assumption? d) In my IPFW there was the rule '50 divert natd all from any to any'. Is this correct? I mean with this rule ALL packets were forced to pass through this and then re-injected to the chain. I try to put it after some rules of the firewall but the NATD didnt worked [I tryied many places...] e) Is IPFW + IPNAT a good combination? I know that the pairs are (IPFW + NATD) and (IPF + IPNAT). What I am doing is good or not suggested [and why?] f) I have understand that the 'official' firewall for freebsd is IPFW, and ipf is just a 'contributed' software. But a lot of people suggest the use of IPF and name it as supperior firewall. Is there a comparison page/site that states the overhead of these two firewalls, or pros/cons of them? g) Why some people say that IPFW is a 'userland' application even though it has not process vissible running?
