A wiki comes with its own set of problems though.  It's not easy to
mirror, its markup language is arbitrarily defined (as opposed to
DocBook/SGML), it still requires constant review by a group of dedicated
freebsd-doc people, etc.

Useful comments can always posted to freebsd-doc for discussion.
Helpful comments are not only those that contain patches, but also
comments of the form:

"This section sucks a bit.  I can't really understand what the
exact steps to rebuild my kernel are."

It's ok.  This is part of the purpose of having the list :)

Every time I think I have a handle on Sendmail, I go and do something
like this.  Moving the masquerading to the local version of
sendmail.mc was sufficient to fix the problem.  Thanks.

RE: The FreeBSD Handbook, in Wiki form.

[bob]

Sure any public person can post junk to wiki and that is just what
is wrong with it for official handbook.  There would be no peer
review of info for correctness. There is no single person who knows
everything about FreeBSD  and has time to review all the personal
opinions posted to some wiki.  And if you search this questions
archives you will see that there is all ready an wiki for FreeBSD
and it has very little activity.

ipfw has "limit src ip"  option.

Subject: dynamically limit ip connections to ports over time?


Hi all,

I have been running a FreeBSD box for a few years. Over this time spammers
and other unfriendlies have found my box and have been attacking at a slowly
increasing rate. Every night the daily periodic scripts run and report to me
the number of rejected mail hosts. Last week, one of the rejected mail hosts
had the number of rejections listed at 3000. My hard drive has been getting
louder and louder as it gets busier rejecting and logging all of these and now
I would like to do something about it... but I'm not sure what I can do. When
the hard drive is at its busiest I see mail being virus and spam scanned at a
dizzying rate (tail -f /var/log/maillog), hence the hard drive grinding.
What I would LIKE to do is allow any ip to connect to a port for a
specified number of times per minute.  If they connect too many times than I
would like to freeze them out for a specified amount of time. This solution
should be dynamic so that I don't need to constantly monitor the offending ip
addresses.
Originally, I thought I would attach a sendmail milter to do this, since
mail cannons are my main problem right now. I looked at:

http://www.milter.info/milter-limit/index.shtml

but it requires manually adding a rule for each ip.

Then I considered grey-listing:

http://www.milter.info/milter-gris/index.shtml

but I don't want to reject messages and cause mail delivery delays on my
system.

Finally, it occurred to me that the firewall would probably be a better
solution and would have the nice side effect of limiting traffic to other
ports as well. To try to accomplish this I have been reading a lot of IPFilter
rules via google and lists, but I havn't found any that seems that it can do
what I describe above - limit by ip over time.
I'm sure this is not a unique problem - can someone point me in a helpful
direction?

Many Thanks

Local delivery is handled by class w, and you can put hostnames for 
which local delivery will happen into a file as well, typically 
/etc/mail/local-host-names.

Huh?  How about the many many production machines located at remote

I've personally done hundreds of remote upgrades without ever
rendering a machine unrecoverable.  In fact, the only problems I've
run into are with a noexec /tmp, but that's easily fixable when doing
an upgrade.

Sendmail masquerading breaks local mail delivery

concerned about 5.3's detection of my usb ports, they're all usb2 ports, yet
some of them are showing up as only usb1. Here's my usb information:

The enclosure itself is for a 20 gb 2.5 inch laptop hard drive, and it has
two cables coming out of it, one for power the other data. I'm wondering if
it matters which controller one should plug them into or if that doesn't
matter at all? The enclosure was purchased from CompUSA and all i can say is
that at least this one shows up, the sandisk one, was a no show.
When i plug in the enclosure here's the output i get:

Try building the port again; if it fails in a different place and 
you're seeing signal 11's (SIGSEGV), it's almost certainly hardware 
problems like poor cooling or bad memory, not a bug with GCC.

Try running memtest.org's checker overnight and see whether that shows

Otherwise, please provide more information including *which* port, and

Greetings list, I'm a first time poster.  I hope I get this right.
I'm running a fresh install of 5.3-RELEASE.  Every time I attempt to 
install anything from the ports tree, gcc fails.  Nine times out of ten 
it states that there has been an internal error, and that I should 
submit a bug report.

I've considered building a different version of gcc, but I obviously

FreeBSD (x86).

Right now I'm looking to move to a STABLE branch, but I'd rather fix my 
current problem and move on.  Is this possible, or would a fresh 
install be my best bet?

Does the make at the end of libsmutil show the libsmutil.a file being
created?
--Andy
 

Actually I have just installed (using  diskettes over the network) 
last night. I am sure that doesn't mean that the src that was 
downloaded is 100% up todate. I am running a cvsup on src now, 
hopefully that will correct my problem.

PS - Yes the libsmutil.a file was created when running the make in 
libsmutil.

Thanks,
~Richard McIntyre

Okay, I ran a cvsup for src-all and did the same thing and it still 
fails with the same error...

make: don't know how to make 
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/../../lib/libsmutil/libsmutil.a. Stop

Any other suggesttions?
Thanks in advance...

NETWORKING is unset.  Then you get (after parameter expansion)

test for the variable's existence and length.

Being honest, if I were doing it, I would use NETWORKING as a macro 
value, something that could immediately test the network's viability, 
then operate upon that's results.

  I suspect "NETWORKING" always happened to be set in the Linux
environment you were running it under, or perhaps you were using a
different shell.
 

Can anyone help with suggestions or an alternate statement that will
work on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE?

  One time-honored idiom is:
  [ "X${NETWORKING}" = "Xno" ] && exit 0

Re: The FreeBSD Handbook, in Wiki form.

[Benjamin Keating]

A wiki would eliminate that bottle neck (PR).
Some parts are out of date. Others fail to mention FAQ , etc. that
could really help. For instance, the NAT/DHCP articles could easily
include a 'typical home user' HOWTO rather then tricking the user into
reading that one line where it says you have to recompile your kernel
with IPFIREWALL support.

Things like that bring noise to this mailing list. Idon't know about
you but I'd rather just add my new found info to the site rather find
a PR addy, submit it and wait for it to be added. We have software
that does this now. Lets use it! :)

Properly umounting a USB HDD

[Benjamin Keating]

Hey all,

I've noticed that a 'umount /mnt/portable' properly umounts the drive
like it should, but when I hold the drive in my hand and give it a
very gentle horizontal spin with my wrist, the reading head /
platter.. something, sounds loose, as if the arm wasn't properly
docked.

Is there any command in BSD that will allow me to properly shutdown a
portable disk? System disks don't have this sound at all but I'm not
sure what commands do it. Maybe it's a APIC/APM thing? That stuff is
greek to me.

Thanks!

The FreeBSD Handbook, in Wiki form.

[Benjamin Keating]

Is there anything being done to help keep the handbook just a little
more updated? It's a great handbook, if it's content wasn't so out of
date.

A wiki would be a great way to acheive this. If there isn't a project
like it yet, I'd like to propose we set one up. I can contribute quite
a bit of time and resources towards this. Save me wiki.freebsd.org and
I'll get a move on!

php4-4.3.11 Port Question (mime_magic)

[John Schneider]

Newbie question, apologize in advance if I missed something obvious. I also
apologize if this is not the best forum for questions on specific ports. 

I installed the port php4-4.3.11. The purpose of using this port to ugprade
my working php4 install, was to be able to the horde 3.0 framework
(www.horde.org). Everything looks fine, but a test.php file in my horde
setup reports that mime_magic is not installed.

Everything I read says that mime_magic is installed by default with recent
versions of php4. I'm not sure why the port version of php4 hasn't installed
it, or how to specify it as a make option (I'm not even sure if this is
possible via the ports).

Any help or general guideance would be very much appreciate. Thanks in
advance.

- John

HERE IS THE REPORT FROM MY HORDE TEST.PHP FILE:


Horde Version

* Horde: 3.0.4

Horde Applications

* Horde: 3.0.4
* Imp: H3 (4.0.3) (run Imp tests)

PHP Version

* View phpinfo() screen
* View loaded extensions
* PHP Version: 4.3.11

* LDAP Support: No
* Mbstring Support: Yes
* MCAL Support: No
* Mcrypt Support: Yes
* MIME Magic Support (fileinfo): No
  The fileinfo PECL module or the mime_magic PHP extension (see below)
will most likely provide faster MIME Magic lookups than the built-in Horde
PHP magic code. See horde/docs/INSTALL for information on how to install
PECL/PHP extensions.
* MIME Magic Support (mime_magic): No
  The fileinfo PECL module (see above) or the mime_magic PHP extension

  If PHP's internal memory limit is turned on and if not set high enough
Horde will not be able to handle large data items (e.g. large mail
attachments in IMP). If possible, you should disable the PHP memory limit by
recompiling PHP without the "--enable-memory-limit" flag. If this is not
possible, then you should set the value of memory_limit in php.ini to a
sufficiently high value (Current value of memory_limit: 2400).

Sendmail with sasl2 build fails.

[Richard Mcintyre]

All,
I've checked the mailing lists and it appears that this has been a 
problem for other people in the past, but I can't seem to fix the issue 
I'm having.

I have installed cyrus-sasl2-saslauthd from ports.
I then added the following to /etc/make.conf:
# SASL (cyrus-sasl v2) sendmail build flags...
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS+= -I/usr/local/include -DSASL=2
SENDMAIL_LDFLAGS+= -L/usr/local/lib
SENDMAIL_LDADD+= -lsasl2
# Adding to enable alternate port (smtps) for sendmail...
SENDMAIL_CFLAGS+= -D_FFR_SMTP_SSL
Then, I attempted to rebuild sendmail, I have tried both of the 
following steps...
First I tried:
   # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
   # make clean
   # make depend
   # make
   # make install

When that failed I tried:
   # cd /usr/src/lib/libsm
   # make obj
   # make depend
   # make
   # cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil
   # make obj
   # make depend
   # make
   # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
   # make obj
   # make depend
   # make
   # make install
Finally when that failed I tried:
   # cd /usr/src/lib/libsm
   # make clean
   # cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil
   # make clean
   # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
   # make clean
   # cd /usr/src/lib/libsm
   # make obj
   # make depend

   # cd /usr/src/lib/libsmutil
   # make obj
   # make depend
   # make
   # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
   # make obj
   # make depend
   # make
   # make install
All return the same problem at the make on /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail...

RE: make installworld (remotely)

[bob]

Doing a remote buildworld is just too dangerous for an production
box and expensive in backups because you have all the source files
to deal with. The more popular method of updating a remote system is
to have an local development box that has same components and do a
fresh install to a empty ata hard drive and them ship new HD to
remote site and swap for old one. If needed, you recover by swapping
old one back in. Or another popular way is after populating new HD,
build an bootable system on a cdrom then ship cdrom to remote site
and swap that.

Hi.
Im running FreeBSD 5.3-Release #0 and would like to do buildworld
and
buildkernel.
The problem is that the machine is a remote one.
Handbook states that to run "mergemaster" and "make installworld" I
should
boot into single user mode.
That would mean that I can't access the machine remotely anymore am
I
correct?

Would it be okey to run make installworld when running in multiuser
mode and
being the only person whos logged on and maby shutting down most of
the
network services (leaving my sshd running though) ?

It's possible to do this if everything goes 100% right, but if not
then you'll be left without a usable machine.  You really want a
serial console (and remotely-accessible power controller) for remote
machines, so you can recover them even if you make a mistake.
 

Or a machine which can boot off a network disk.  The you can boot off 
the network, mount your local disks and fix the problems.  If you can 
boot off a network disk, you might even be able to run installworld, but 
you'd have to figure out how to make it install into something like 
/mnt/usr instead of /usr.  Someone else will have to tell you if that's 
possible.

Language/codepage trouble

[pps]

Hello,
I've been having alot of problems with encodings/language etc.
In short, there's no such problem on winXP - in control panel/Reagional 
and Language Options I set this options:
Standards and Formats (locale): English
Language for non-unicode programs: Russian

and I'd like to get the same functionality on my freebsd, but I only got 
a ton of problems :)
In short, all I want is to have a usual english freebsd (with kde in 
english etc) but all 8-bit texts would be trated the same way they are 
treated on russian freebsd. It's easy to get the second thing - set 
lang=ru in ~/.login_conf or some other way to set env["LANG"], but it 
makes everything f**ked up - all kde and other apps become in russian, 
which I don't need! It seemed like setting default charset would solve 
the problem, but setting charset=CP1251 in ~/.login_conf doesn't solve 
this problems - it doesn't have any effect. Is there any way I can do 
what I want?

I tried to hack default locale files in en_US.ISO8859-1 long time ago 
and I think I made something bad. Is there a way to remove entire 
directory /usr/share/locale and then reinstal it?

Thank you

RE: Problems with user ppp

[bob]

Log has this
ppp[505]: tun0: IPCP:  PRIDNS[6] 10.155.201.22
which means your ISP has handed you ip 10.155.201.22 is dsn
server.
you say first line in /etc/resolv.conf  is 10.255.201.22
Are you sure you posted the correct stuff here. that number is to
close not to be typo.
Try deleting contents of /var/log/ppp.log and /etc/resolve.conf and
restart user-ppp to get good documented test.

Looks to me as your user ppp is functioning correctly.
Your firewall is not allowing out port 53 to ip 10.155.201.22 is
more likely cause of your problem.

On my PC with the latest freebsd 5.4 I'm trying to connect to my ISP

Launching "ppp -background alice" I can connect with my ISP but
. names
are not resolved because PPP doesn't get the DNSs provided by the
peer and
uses the first DNS server in in /etc/resolv.conf ,10.255.201.22, of

My /etc/fstab on 4-stable has 
/dev/acd0c  /cdrom  cd9660  ro,noauto0   0

On 5-stable it is
/dev/acd0   /cdrom  cd9660  ro,noauto00

Since I have a directory called /cdrom, all I have to do is say 
"mount /cdrom". When I play a CDROM is have kscd setup to play 
the /dev/adc0.., which depends on the version of the OS.

Well, on my production system, I am not dumping any kernels.  Once It
crashes, I reboot it and go back into production.  Anything dumped
would get wiped out.  Luckily I am pretty conservative and only move
to new versions of the OS when they have been released a while and so
my machines have not had panics in years.
It's up to you, of course, but it's been my experience that you might
regret the small expenditure of a few gigabytes one day when you do
run into a panic you need help to solve...
Of course, now that I have mentioned it, my luck will change and  
something  bad will happen.

I am not running cheap large IDE disks, but expensive fast high  
performance U320 disks on RAID controllers and so the extra GB does  
cost something.  If I get a repeating panic, I can boot off a  
recovery disk and add in extra swap I guess.

Thanks
I always learn a lot here  (I just wish someone could help me with  
the mail submission question I posted)

You did not follow handbook instruction close enough.
Your rc.conf statements are not correct.

FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov  5 04:19:18 UTC 2004

I'm a new BSD user installing the OS for the first time. Everything
is
running well except the firewall. IPFW is not loading the custom
rules
set I have created at startup/boot (although it does say it has but
when I ipfw list it only gives me the one default rule). I assume it
is related to this area that I received on the console:

May  3 14:25:22 babe kernel: firewall_enable: not found
May  3 14:25:22 babe kernel: ipfw2 initialized, divert disabled,
rule-based forwarding dis$

May  3 14:25:22 babe kernel: ->
May  3 14:25:22 babe kernel: 1

I'm refering to the "bad command 'ipfw'" line. I'm also concerned
about the "firewall_enable" not found message.

I have included the relevant rc.conf setting and the custom rules
file
(based on the ruleset from the handbook). I'm currently setting up a
firewall for this machine that is connected to a D-Link router.

My questions are: Why am I getting the bad command msg? Do I need to
be concerned about the "firewall_enabled: not found"

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

It's up to you, of course, but it's been my experience that you might
regret the small expenditure of a few gigabytes one day when you do
run into a panic you need help to solve...

It's not required, but the system can't write a panic crash dump out 
unless there is slightly more swap space available than RAM in the box. 
 If your system doesn't crash, and your workload fits into RAM, having 
gigabytes of swap space set up is not very useful

  It's needed if you want to be able to collect a crash dump if the
system panics.

  Yes indeed, you do not want to be running your system with full swap. 
You want it only for emergencies.

It's normal.  You're using firewall_type and yet you have written a
firewall _script_ in /etc/ipfw.rules.

> firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall"

Your firewall_type points to a pathname, so the file should contain
rules in the form:

check-state
add allow tcp from any to any 80 keep-state
add block ip from any to any

>   # public interface name of NIC

Your ipfw.rules file is written in the form of a firewall_script.
The difference between the two is small but important.

A firewall_type file contains just a set of rules that ipfw(8) will
parse, without intervention by a shell.

A firewall_script is executed by the /bin/sh shell, as a normal shell
script.  One example of what can be used as a firewall_script is
/etc/rc.firewall (in pre-5.X versions) or /etc/rc.d/ipfw (in FreeBSD
5.X or later).

You can't use more than 32GB in a single device on i386.  It shouldn't
cause problems, but unless you have the expectation of making use of
it, it is wasted space.  One use is that having more swap than RAM is
necessary if you ever run into a kernel panic, so that you'll be able
to dump the image of the system for developers to try to diagnose the
problem.  Since it's a pain to add swap later you want to make
allowances for future expansion (e.g. you'd need 32GB of swap if you
ever plan to add 32GB of RAM).

Problems with user ppp

[Vittorio]

On my PC with the latest freebsd 5.4 I'm trying to connect to my ISP "alice" 
by means of user ppp. Here is my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: 
#
default:
 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
 set device /dev/cuaa0
 set speed 115200
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
           \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
 set timeout 180                        # 3 minute idle timer (the default)

alice:
 #
 # edit the next three lines and replace the items in caps with
 # the values which have been assigned by your ISP.
 #

 set phone "7020803380"
 set authname "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
 set authkey "nonteladico"

 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
 add default HISADDR                    # Add a (sticky) default route
 enable dns                             # request DNS info (for resolv.conf)

AND
in /etc/ppp/options

lock
noauth

Launching "ppp -background alice" I can connect with my ISP but . names 
are not resolved because PPP doesn't get the DNSs provided by the peer and 
uses the first DNS server in in /etc/resolv.conf ,10.255.201.22, of a 
previous  dhcp connection at office.

Re: pkg_info output? 'homework' clarification sought...

[David Armour]

hello,

sorry: clicked wrong icon, & truncated my reply/question. i think.
i hope my lame-ish attempt at 'homework' doesn't screw with the list charter. 
i offer it in a spirit of open-source newbie encouragement.

[note from previous message, orphaned by my mistake: [a] In a context address, 
any character other than a backslash (``\'') or newline character may be used 
to delimit the regular expression. ]

> > pkg_info | sort | sed -e 's/-[0-9].*$//' | uniq -c | grep -v

> ... deletes lines where only 1 version exists, e.g.:

grep -v, --invert-match  # Invert the sense of matching, to select 
non-matching lines.

   A  bracket  expression is a list of characters enclosed by [ and ].  It
   matches any single character in that list; if the  first  character  of
   the  list is the caret ^ then it matches any character not in the list.
   ...
   Finally,  certain  predefined named  classes  of  characters are ...
   [:space:] 

   The caret ^ and the dollar sign $ are metacharacters that respectively
   match the empty string at the beginning and end of a line.

i'd assumed [bad!] that the '-v' represented 'verbose' as it does with several 
other commands. but the overall structure, if that's the right word, of the 
grep part of the tip seems a bit like a double negative, what with the '^'

HOMEWORK portion: 

> the script is not quite correct because these two packages are
> counted as two versions of xorg-fonts:
> xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.8.2
> xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.8.2

> > pkg_info | sort | sed -e 's/-[0-9].*$//' | uniq -c | grep -v
> > '^[[:space:]]*1'

so 2 hits out of 360 odd packages compromise otherwise informative results? 
and assuming, for the moment, that everyone here understands that the ideas 
expressed *here* are coming from about as far out in left field as is 
possible... ? 

as i understand things, so far: sed gets a list of sorted stuff that looks 
like: 

autoconf-6.8.2
borg-6.8.2
  ...
perl-6.8.2...
xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.8.2
xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.8.2

and uniq counts instances of duplication so the list now looks like:

 3 autoconf-6.8.2
 1 borg-6.8.2
...
 2 perl-6.8.2
 2 xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.8.2

the tip asks sed to look in a sorted list of installed packages for instances 
of hyphens followed by numerals between 0-9. i'm guessing that sed either 
needs to incorporate a check within its own results (maybe a set of brackets 
with a second sed -e 's/-[0-9].*$//' |)?, *before* uniq gets its hands on it, 
or some sort of if/then condition programming wizardry to scarf up potential 
stragglers. 

of course, at this stage in my travels in unix-land, i have no idea, clear or 
unclear how such twickery might occur. nonetheless, the natives appear 
friendly.

even natively, at this time.  There are significant issues, such as being 
able to run fsck against such large partitions without fsck's memory usage 
consuming excessive resources.

If you need to set up such a massive NAS fileserver, you really ought to 
consider dedicated products from companies like Auspex and NetApp.  Another 
alternative might be an Apple Xserve RAID with Xsan, but this doesn't have 
the track record of my earlier suggestions.

There are practical limits to how much swap you can or want to have on your

I would not recommend trying to use greater than 2GB partitions via 
Samba, or even natively, at this time.  There are significant issues, 
such as being able to run fsck against such large partitions without 
fsck's memory usage consuming excessive resources.

If you need to set up such a massive NAS fileserver, you really ought 
to consider dedicated products from companies like Auspex and NetApp.  
Another alternative might be an Apple Xserve RAID with Xsan, but this 
doesn't have the track record of my earlier suggestions.

Re: swap space

[Franco Bruno Borghesi]

Actually having a separated disk for swap should increase your performance.
But my opinion is that if you really need *all* the 40 GB of swap when your 
system's ram is 3 GB, you won't see the difference: most of the data your 
system needs is swapped out!

You could add a partition to your new disk (let's say 2 or 3 times the 
amount of ram), and leave the rest unpartitioned. You could use that extra 
space later for nightly backups, emergencies, etc. without loosing your 
performance gain.

Hope it helps.

Re: swap space

[Chris Knipe]

We made the mistake however of just allocating 512MB swap as we did not
know accurately at the time of installation what the resouce requires are
going to be (especially not that it would be this high).
 A traditional rule of thumb is to have 1x - 2x the total RAM size in
swap space.  This assures that you can do a crash dump and that you can
deal with peak load of 2x the normal maximum number of processes by
swapping them out.  Beyond that, you are probably better off with the
system just refusing to fork more processes or allocate them memory.
i.e. 4GB Ram, approx 8GB Swap?  In that case we'll need to install a 
secondary HDD in any case.  The current drive is already partitioned and 
what not, so reinstall isn't a option.  Having 2 or more swap partitions 
should also not be a big deal?  And this might be a extremely stupid 
question, but both are used at the same time right?

Some of our other high end perl systems use allot of memory as well.  We 
normally use stuff like SYSVSHM, SYSVMSG and SYSVSEM (Plus allot of 
parameters / options for it which I do not currently have with me 
unfortunately).  Me personally, are not 100% on what the drawbacks or 
benefits are, but would this make a difference?  In some of our production 
environments, we have applications terminating within seconds of reaching 
peak load without SYSV + "magic" options in the kernel.  This is not because 
of bad code, but because of severe load (thousands of concurrent 
connections). The server in question right now is basically a high end 
anti-spam / anti-virus solution (which by nature is extremely resource 
intensive - look at big SA installations for example).

We are already running with MAXUSERS 512 and NMBCLUSTERS=65535 as "advanced" 
features in the kernel currently.  I suppose I should recompile and add SYSV 
(after I got the "magic" options again).  Those two options are also so far 
the only options I found to "tune" for a high performance FBSD config... If 
anyone have additional resources, please feel free to share... :)

I'm talking under correction, but I believe the "magic" options to the SYSV 
stuff is related to specifying the ammounts of ram to use, etc.

Thanks for all the answers and suggestions!!!

IPFW custom rules file not loading

[Nicholas Henry]

FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov  5 04:19:18 UTC 2004

I'm a new BSD user installing the OS for the first time. Everything is
running well except the firewall. IPFW is not loading the custom rules
set I have created at startup/boot (although it does say it has but
when I ipfw list it only gives me the one default rule). I assume it
is related to this area that I received on the console:

May  3 14:25:22 babe kernel: firewall_enable: not found
May  3 14:25:22 babe kernel: ipfw2 initialized, divert disabled,
rule-based forwarding dis$

May  3 14:25:22 babe kernel: 1
May  3 14:25:22 babe kernel: ->

I'm refering to the "bad command 'ipfw'" line. I'm also concerned
about the "firewall_enable" not found message.

I have included the relevant rc.conf setting and the custom rules file
(based on the ruleset from the handbook). I'm currently setting up a
firewall for this machine that is connected to a D-Link router.

My questions are: Why am I getting the bad command msg? Do I need to
be concerned about the "firewall_enabled: not found"

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Raid Array Over 2Tb on Samba

[Richard Collyer]

Hello,
I plan on building a raid array of 8*400GB disks raid 5. Now as win2k 
cant support partitions over 2tb and I right in thinking that this is 
for the local machine only and that over samba (array in FreeBSD 5.4 
machine [when it comes out]) it should be able to see all space or will 
I have to carve it up.

Cheers

Do you really mean this? The *only* file not found that I get using the

alone. As said though, google is your friend.

  You might want to look at your application architecture as to why you
are using all that virtual memory and whether you could change
something so as not to be using so much at once.

  Having lots of swap space shouldn't slow a system down.  However,
*using* it will.  If your applications are hitting the swap any more than
occasionally under peak load, you should assume that your system is
running a good order of magnitude slower than it needs to (i.e. at
least a factor of 10.)

  A traditional rule of thumb is to have 1x - 2x the total RAM size in
swap space.  This assures that you can do a crash dump and that you can
deal with peak load of 2x the normal maximum number of processes by
swapping them out.  Beyond that, you are probably better off with the
system just refusing to fork more processes or allocate them memory.

  Sometimes unbounded swap usage reflects the system "falling off a
cliff" as the result of an inbound transaction request rate which
exceeds the transaction service rate.  If the outstanding transactions
build up to the point that the system starts to swap a little bit, then
the system performance drops dramatically as the system needs to page
data out/in to run some processes.  This causes the transaction service
rate to drop sharply (e.g. by an order of magnitude as I mentioned
above.) As a direct result the number of outstanding processes shoots
up and the VM and swap usage goes through the roof.

  If this is the scenario, you should definitely add more RAM before
worrying about adding more swap.  The swap won't hurt, but the RAM is
what will actually benefit your system.  (Depending on your
application, software changes may have the most benefit of all.)

  There's my free advice, worth every penny.

Re: pkg_info output? ... 'homework' clarification sought!

hello,

thanks v. much for your kind reply. sorry for my delay in responding. i was 
heading off to work when i first saw your message. the translation of the tip 
segments helps immensely. as for the "homework", well... i'm not 'there,' 
yet. some possible suspects:

... my understanding starts to go south 'round about here. 

i can see from sed's manpage(s): sed [-Ean] [-e command] ...that
the command, the characters between the apostrophes, [a] appends
"the editing commands specified by the command argument to the list of 
commands." nowhere on the manpage, however, can i find any reference to the 
'delete' you mention. 

Waay down the page, in a thicket of sed "functions", i run across:

[2addr]s/regular expression/replacement/flags
 *S*ubstitute the replacement string for the first instance of the
 regular expression in the pattern space.  
 
 A line can be split by substituting a newline character into it.
 To specify a newline character in the replacement string, precede
 it with a backslash.

... which, going out on the limb of my understanding, here, seems to match the 
intent, at least, of the 'delete' you point to. admittedly, i'm mostly 
grasping at straws in terms of what the '$' and the '//' are doing in there.

and the warning in the "bugs" section...

 Multibyte characters containing a byte with value 0x5C (ASCII `\') may be
 incorrectly treated as line continuation characters in arguments to the
 ``a'', ``c'' and ``i'' commands.  *Multibyte characters cannot be used as
 delimiters with the ``s'' and ``y'' commands.*

... seems to introduce the possibility, at least for 'homework' purposes, that 
the 'textbook' might have a typo as far as the "s" command. ???

i see the sense of '-c' mapping to 'count'. i'm less clear about where the 
'space', single or otherwise, comes in. [except that that's the spec!]

Under 5.3-RELEASE I have 3 DSL connections set to round-robin using
PF. Under 4.11 I had used IPF and IPNAT and had half of the net range
set to utilize one gateway, the other half to use another. I find the
PF round-robin solution to be much more effective. I am unsure if you
can use IPF/IPFW to round-robin nat, at least as easily as PF.

In short though, you won't need to modify your kernel, short of
including whichever firewall module you choose to utilize.

I'm curious, when you say simultaneously, do you mean you want the
same duplicated data to be sent out all of your gateways at the same
time?

swap space

[Chris Knipe]

Hi,
Simple question really... Can you ever have to much swap space?
We're sitting with quite a nifty P4 System with 1GB Ram.  We will more than 
likely add another 2 or 3GB in the month to come as our applications (mainly 
perl) are consuming vast amounts of memory and swap.

We made the mistake however of just allocating 512MB swap as we did not know 
accurately at the time of installation what the resouce requires are going 
to be (especially not that it would be this high).

Obviously reinstalling the entire OS / Applications is not really a option. 
We may want to install a dedicated 40GB just for swap... Would this be 
advisable, or will it actually slow the system down?  And to what extend?

We're running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE.
Thanks in advance.

I meant the sort of masterplans that are for people to follow.
And maybe, in some cases, democratic governments in countries where
there is no such thing as established institutions. 3rd world governments
have by now realized that it is wiser to privatize rather than to
perpetuate -- which again brings up plans for people to follow.

mail/sendmail submit question

[Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC]

Hi
I am trying to allow mail submission and sending on a 5.3-RELEASE box  
from inside a jail, but not a running MTA...

I have the following in the rc.conf
sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"# Start a localhost-only MTA for mail  
submission
sendmail_outbound_enable="YES"  # Dequeue stuck mail (YES/NO).
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="YES" # Dequeue stuck clientmqueue mail  
(YES/NO).

Since you cannot bind to localhost only in a jail I have that set to  
NO.  The /etc/mail/README file says to change the freebsd.submit.mc  
file and remake things so that it submits to another host.  I have  
done that by doing the "Change the FEATURE(msp) line to FEATURE(msp,  
hostname) where hostname is the fully qualified hostname of the  
alternative host." and then "'make install-submit-cf' in /etc/mail/".

When I try to do a mail on the command line, I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/chad# can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueue/):  
Permission denied
Program mode requires special privileges, e.g., root or TrustedUser.

Where do I set this TrustedUser and how do I make the mail program  
work as a TrustedUser?

I grepped TrustedUser in /etc/mail/* and got
freebsd.cf:#O TrustedUser=root
freebsd.submit.cf:O TrustedUser=smmsp
machine.com.submit.cf:O TrustedUser=smmsp
sendmail.cf:#O TrustedUser=root
submit.cf:O TrustedUser=smmsp
so it seems to be set to smmsp which is a valid user in the password  
file.

Thanks for any help or pointers on getting this to work.
Thanks
Chad

How do I remove the offending plugin?  I've tried to remove and

Re: OPEN SOURCE MASTERPLANS

[Joel Rees]

Fafa Hafiz,
Pardon the top post, but master plans are for totalitarian governments 
and bureaucracies. Their sole purpose is to assist in perpetuating 
established institutions. (No institution is going to plan it's own 
demise. Oh, and how well they serve their purpose is a subject of some 
debate.)

Maybe what you should be asking for is examples of business plans, 
although those are all too often used by the powers that be to keep 
small businesses from growing and threatening the status quo. Informal 
operating policies and such might also be of interest.

Lisa Casey wrote:

Me too.
But I don't seem to be able to do that, and I do know how to install 
source files.

When I try  to do a pkg_add to install the mimedefang  port that I've 
downloaded from freebsd.org, I get this:
pkg_add installs package (a pre-compiled binary), not port.
radius# pkg_add -r mimedefang.tar.gz

pkg_add: unable to fetch 
`ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-
4-stable/Latest/mimedefang.tar.gz.tgz' by URL
I have rarely, if ever at all, used pkg_add (I prefer ports), but I 
don't think that using argument 'mimedefang.tar.gz' is correct.

So I moved the tarball over to /usr/ports/distfiles, extracted it and 
ran make. 
If you have decided to install from source tarball, you should perform 
the installation outside the ports tree.

That resulted in:
radius# more distinfo
MD5 (mimedefang-2.51.tar.gz) = 9c4df4ec349e414f893c940ff563bea5

make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
You are probably trying to run BSD make against a GNU makefile. If you 
really want to install from source tarball, use gmake.

At this rate it'll be forever before I get mimedefang installed and in 
the meantime I have customers upset because they are receiving 
unacceptable levels of spam. Surely someone can help me out with 
installing mimedefang from source 
At this stage I'd still recommend using ports. Just read 'man ports', as 
well as Section 4.5 of the Handbook, to get your confusion cleared up :-)

Hi,

I don't seem to be able to do that, and I do know how to install source 
files.

When I try  to do a pkg_add to install the mimedefang  port that I've

meantime I have customers upset because they are receiving unacceptable 
levels of spam. Surely someone can help me out with installing mimedefang 
from source and getting this sendmail stuff I have questions about working.

Of course, if someone  wants to tell me what I'm doing wrong in trying to 
install this as a package and howe to do it right, that would be OK too :-)

I'm going to CC  this to the FreeBSD list in case someone on that list might

It turns out that you have not.

My guess is that you need to use the nvidia driver (available from
ports) instead of the nv one that comes with X.org.

If the router can do DNS as well as DHCP, that will help you out a lot.

createing users homedir on first login

[Gerhard Schmidt]

Hi,

I have set up some FreeBSD 5 Workstations and configured nss to get the 
accounts from ldap. Pam is also set up to work with ldap. Everything so 
far is runningnperfectly smooth. The problem is the workstations don`t have
a shared filesystem. Each user should have an seperate homedir on every 
workstation. 

I tried to use pam_exec to create the homedir on the first login. But it
seams there is now way of knowing who is logging. I've even tried 
to use pw usershow -a to get all users and create all homedirs but 
pw usershow -a don't report any users when started from a shellscript 
called by the pam_exec module. 

Anyone successfully implemented a system to create homedirs on the fly.

sound absent

[Eugene M. Minkovskii]

Hello people!

I'm using HP motherboard with integrated audio chipset, and I
made statically kernel.

So, I wrote in my kernel configuration:

device  sound
device  snd_ich

and

NO_MODULES=yes

in /etc/make.conf.  Then I make kernel and reboot.

Now I see following:

$ dmesg | grep pcm0
pcm0:  port 0xd400-0xd43f,0xd800-0xd8ff mem 
0xfe77b400-0xfe77b4ff,0xfe77b800-0xfe77b9ff irq 17 at device 31.5 on pci0

I have not idea about why this information present in dmesg two
times... But it's not important, perhaps.

shouldn't make a difference as money rules the world (*cough*)... so
your employer is meaningless (even if it's any UN subsidiary -- the UN
is meaningless, please look at the US spreading war all over the world,
the UN doing nothing against it. and no, it's not the 'terror' they're
fighting -- the real terror comes from the US -- it's the fight for
'their oil'... bastards)!

deseases every month, no, it's that fucking capitalism!

Re: backup with tar: Which dirs

You could also use dump, combined with bzip2. If you want to use tar,
use gtar with the  --one-file-system option.

The /dev/ directory is filled automagically. You don't have to back it
up. I would make a backup of /var, since things like your ports database
and mail queue reside there.

In short; back up /, /usr and /var, and /home if you have that on a
seperate slice.

There has never been anything interesting in /var/log, I am afraid.
My world and kernel are making to solve this problem, though :)

OPEN SOURCE MASTERPLANS

[Fafa Hafiz Krantz]

Mario,

Nice ASCII logo.

I work for poor people through UNDP.
I am not a government nor Microsoft employee.

(Ask Bill)

> A lot of people in poor and developing countries are already
> aware that they should move towards open source, and they 
> themselves keep up with those master plans everyday ...

That is true.

They know they should move. But they do not really know how.
I have seen the quality of many 3rd world country masterplans.
They are poorly presented; their language and formatting is
bad; and most of them aren't based on facts.

Western masterplans are more decent and sustainable. If they
were to be adapted to 3rd world conditions, perhaps the
situation would progress angular, and 3rd world people
wouldn't have to struggle to keep up with their masterplans.

Thank you for replying, Mario.

Please do __NOT__ post your reply on top of a long quoted part of the
original.  Both top-posting and failing to trim quoted material to the
absolutely minimum necessary size are considered "bad netiquette" on
this list.

Having said that, you can check your /var/log/messages for interesting
bits sent there by the named process as it starts:

# tail -f /var/log/messages | grep named

Then, restart your named and watch for interesting output.

For extra bonus points, you can add a special "named" entry in your
/etc/syslog.conf file:

!named
*.* /var/log/named.log

which will direct only the messages from named to a special log file.
Remember to restart syslogd after you add this to syslog.conf and then
use tail -f on the named.log file to watch for named output.

Then, after having all the necessary information from a named reload,
you may have more hints and/or clues about what's wrong.
