It is possible to completely disable IPv6 on an interface, but man (8)
ndp recommends against doing this manually.

However, you can pretty well achieve the same effect by informing the
interfaces to not accept RAs.

First (and to answer your next question), enable 'auto config'. You can
put the next line in /etc/sysctl.conf to enable it at boot (without the
word 'sysctl'):

pearl# sysctl net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1

Now, you can disable acceptance of rtadv messages on individual
interfaces by:

pearl# ndp -i fxp1 -- -accept_rtadv

...or re-enable:

pearl# ndp -i fxp1 -- accept_rtadv

So, I think that this will suit your requirements. The only difference
being is that although the unused interfaces won't accept RAs, they will
still have a link-local address.

Re: CUPS, initial PATH environment

 If one installs CUPS as the printing system, one must use the

 I could rename /usr/bin/lp, lpr, lpq, lprm to e.g. lp.origfreebsd, etc..
 forcing the use of the /usr/local/bin versions
 but this would oblige me to do that again after every FreeSBD upgrade.
 
 Or I could put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin in the path.
 Two questions:
 - is this a save thing to do (won't other things go wrong then?)
 - if OK to do that, where can I change the path for every user, whatever
   shell (csh, sh, bash, tcsh, rbash) he uses?

Hi,

Having installed CUPS only recently here's what helped me:

http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~ranga/notes/freebsd_cups.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/cups/article.html
http://www.math.colostate.edu/~reinholz/freebsd/cups_setup.html

Make sure cups is fired up upon boot:
/etc/make.conf:
WITH_CUPS=YES
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes

Make sure System lpr doesn't get built/installed when you build a new
system/kernel:

/etc/src.conf:
WITHOUT_LPR=YES

Replace system lpr-things with a link to the CUPS equivalents:
cd /usr/bin
for i in lp* ; do mv $i $i.freebsd-original ; ln -s /usr/local/bin/$i $i ; done

Hope this helps,

mysqld out of memory

2009-02-10 Thread Valentin Bud

Hello community,

 Today I had for the first time this problem with mysql on a production
server.
The following start flowing in the mysql-err.log
090210  9:12:17 [ERROR] /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: Out of memory (Needed
1676280 bytes)

Doing a top resulted in mysql eating up about 2GB of memory of a total of 4
GB which
i have on that particular box. After googling a little i found some post on
the mailing list about
setting kern.maxdsiz to 1GB. After that I have checked out the kern.maxdsiz
with
# limits -Hd
Resource limits (current):
  datasize  1048576 kB

I noticed that it is already at 1GB. Now my problem is how can i avoid this
in the future because
on that production server mysql is crucial or in case it happens how ca I be
the first to know
of that problem?

I will post some info about the server
# uname -a
FreeBSD nemty 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #5: Tue Mar 25 16:38:28 CET

to provide them. Thanks for yout input.

If you examine the mysql-server script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d you'll see
it supports the mysql_limits option for rc.conf. Set
mysql_limits=YES to /etc/rc.conf and the server start with removed limits.

You can increase maxdsiz (which is different than limits) by adding a
line to loader.conf, something like:

kern.maxdsiz=2GB
kern.dfldsiz=2GB

Note that you can't increase it to more than 3 GB on i386.

Another thing is that mysql shouldn't take infinite amounts of memory to
work. You need to configure entries in my.cnf to match your limits and
maxdsiz (in steady state + estimated spikes).

Hi everyone,

Just to put you in context, I applied the following patch to make the 
card available:

SVN rev 186389 on 2008-12-22 00:46:22Z by yongari

Since we don't request reset for rlphy(4), the link state 'UP'
event from mii(4) may not be delivered if valid link was already
established. To address the issue, check current link state after
driving MII_TICK. This should fix a regression introduced in
r185753 on fast ethernet controllers.

---

I don't have any issue related to that anymore. The problem is that I 
get link UP/DOWN a few times per hour on 3 identical machines that I 
dumped/restored. They are all pluged in a Cisco switch that works 
fine for every other PCs.

Jan 26 06:09:15 term005 kernel: re0: link state changed to DOWN

I tried to switch cables, but I got the same result.

There is the pciconf -lv output:

Could it be related to the fact that there is re0 and ehci0++ on the 
same IRQ?

Thank you for your help,

Martin
I just tried with a brand new Dell 2708 switch and the problem is 
still there. I just confirmed that the UP/DOWN occurs every 10 minutes 
(+- a few seconds).

Thanks again,

Martin

Just to follow-up on my own problem...

I tried to disable some options of the card with :
ifconfig re0 -rxcsum -txcsum -tso -lro -vlanhwtag

but nothing as changed. I just tried to download a big file (FreeBSD 
7.1-REL DVD iso in fact) to see if the deconnection occurs even during a 
transfer. The DVD downloaded successfully and I verified that the MD5 
are OK. BUT, /var/log/messages continue to tell me that:

I have a solution to this well a work around.

Add -tso to the relevant line in /etc/rc.conf

ifconfig_re0=inet 192.168.1.103  netmask 255.255.255.0 -tso

Adding -tso stops the link up / link down problem. Now I am understand that 
this may increase cpu if the traffic on the nic is high. I am sure some one the 
list will know of any other implications this may have.

It is a known problem and I site I read the bug had been submitted so hopefully it wont exist in 8.0

As I stated in my last post, I tried to disable a few options, including 
TSO. Still, I gived a try to your workaround. I now have this line in

an IP to the DHCP).

 ...or re-enable:

 pearl# ndp -i fxp1 -- accept_rtadv

 So, I think that this will suit your requirements. The only
 difference
 being is that although the unused interfaces won't
 accept RAs, they will
 still have a link-local address.

Provide the output to:

# sysctl -a net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv
# ndp -i fxp0
# ifconfig fxp0

...and, run a tcpdump on fxp0 capturing only IPv6 packets. Eventually
you should see the router advertisements:

# tcpdump -n -i fxp0 ip6

If you don't see them, check your router config. What type of router is
it? Most routers have RAs disabled by default.

upgrading xorg - no mouse

2009-02-10 Thread kenneth hatteland

I am running several machines with freebsd 7.1 Up until the last xorg 
update I have been a happy camper, but the last 2 weeks or so my mouse  
does not work, neither on i386 or amd64 architecture. Tried reinstalling 
to release ( using stable on all machines) and building world etc, but 
the same shit happens. Fluxbox starts fine, but no mouse action.
Any ideas ? Is it just for me to wait for a repaired xorg, or is it so I 
have to configure every time I upgrade from now on, and in that case 
could anyone point me to a place to learn how to fix it.
If you`d like to see any printouts from my system just state which file 
is interesting and I`ll provide them..

Re: nss_ldap SSL/TLS problems..

2009-02-10 Thread Chris Cowart

Arjun Singh wrote:
 I'm trying to set up an ldap server on FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE.
 
 I installed all of the latest versions of openldap24-server,
 openldap24-client, nss_ldap, and pam_ldap.
 
 When I do any sort of ldapsearch or 'getent passwd' or anything, everything
 works perfectly. The only time I have trouble is when I'm logging in via
 SSH..then it gets really weird.
 
 1.) When I log in as a user in LDAP only and give the incorrect password
 first and then supply the correct password, everything works fine. If the
 user is in wheel, I can sudo.
 2.) When I log in as the same user and give only the correct password the
 first time, it hangs for roughly 45 seconds and then lets me in. Even though
 this user is in wheel, it says that the user is not in the sudoers file.
 
 Here are the log messages I get in auth.log that correspond to the events
 above:
 
 sshd[54031]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user uid=user..(cut)...
 (Invalid credentials) # This is the incorrect pw
 sshd[54029]: error: PAM: authentication error for user from localhost
 #Incorrect pw
 sshd[54032]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable
 # correct pw
 sshd[54029]: Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for user from localhost port
 32935 ssh2 #correct pw
 
 When I enter just the right password, the first time, I get this in the log:
 
 sshd[54047]: Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for user from localhost port
 51972 ssh2
 sshd[54050]: nss_ldap: could not get LDAP result - Can't contact LDAP server
 
 Again, when SSL/TLS are disabled, I get normal log output and none of the
 weird stuff above..
 
 I turned on debugging in nss_ldap.conf and found that each time I gave only
 the correct password (corresponding with the 45 second hang) I found this in
 the debug output:
 
 ...bunch of normal looking output...
 ldap_chkResponseList ld 0x801b31480 msgid 5 all 0

 I get the above regardless of whether I'm using start_tls or ssl.
 
 If you have any insight, it'd be really useful. I've spent tons of time
 scouring lists for help and haven't found anything yet..

I don't have any more insight into the problem other than to say we've
had some similar issues in our environment. Initial password-based
logins do not have groups initialized, but SSH key logins and /bin/login
logins have groups initialized successfully.

We were piloting nscd on some of our 7.0 boxes. It turns out that
enabling nscd was a successful workaround. We have since enabled it on
the rest of our 7.0 installations.

Anyone out there have ideas?

Acroread plugin problem...

2009-02-10 Thread Peter Harrison

I had the firefox plugin for acroread8 working perfectly until I ran a 
portupgrade recently. I ended up running portupgrade -af so alot of stuff got 
touched that might not otherwise.

Now I'm getting the following message when I open firefox:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library 
/usr/home/peter/.mozilla/plugins/nppdf.so [Shared object libc.so.6 not found, 
required by nppdf.so]

and the plugin doesn't work.

Standalone, acroread still works fine.

Any ideas what I'm missing?

Localized keyboard under Xorg 7.4...

2009-02-10 Thread Peter Harrison

So I've run the Xorg update. I've come across a number of problems (the biggest 
of which was needed to rebuilt xfce and losing all my settings).

The one I'm having real difficulty with at the moment is using a UK keyboard 
layout. Previously I had this line in my xorg.conf under the Keyboard 
InputDevice section:

Option  XkbLayout gb

This doesn't work any more, so I followed the advice in this post:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=140908+0+archive/2009/freebsd-questions/20090208.freebsd-questions

to put the relevant entry in /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy/x11-input.fdi

Still no joy. I get these lines in Xorg.0.log:

(II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input//kbd_drv.so
(II) Module kbd: vendor=X.Org Foundation
compiled for 1.5.3, module version = 1.3.2

(**) Option XkbLayout us
(**) AT Keyboard: XkbLayout: us

I'm getting around it at the moment by getting xfce to run this at startup:

setxkbmap gb

But that's hardly an ideal solution. Can anyone suggest a better one?

TIA.

I didn't spot anything, but you could try switching to a VESA driver
and seeing if the issue still persists. If not, then it's a radeon
driver issue and you can proceed from there.



Doh!  Definitely a radeon driver problem.  Thanks.

pkg_delete core dumping on 7.1

2009-02-10 Thread Ross Penner

hey list,

I've recently upgraded my machine (FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE) and pkg_delete
is segfaulting and dumping it's core when trying to deinstall
packages. What makes it more bizzare is that it had worked right after
the upgrade and now it doesn't.

I know there's probably more information I could give to help but I'm
enough of a novice to not know what that is. Thanks for any
suggestions on how to proceed.

Have you tried adding the:

Option AutoAddDevices off
Option AutoEnableDevices off

settings in the ServerFlags section of xorg.conf?  That should disable
the hal/dbus detections and use just the settings you have spelled out
in xorg.conf (which shouldn't be too much of an issue if you already
had a fully configured xorg.conf before the upgrade to 7.4).

Matt

 TIA.

Re: Playing audio CDs

 One thing that I don't think I've read but personally encountered.  
 When using cdcontrol, it seems to tell the cd-rom drive to play the 
 disc so it's not really done in software.  If the audio cable from the 
 cd-rom drive is not connected to the motherboard you won't get sound.  
 For the vast majority of users this is a non-issue, but it be confusing 
 to figure out.

Well, interesting you mentioned this. I have this audio cable installed
and after cdcontrol told the drive to play the audio CD, it is on the
CD audio channel of the sound card (and the mixer channel CD, of course).
I'm not sure how this is handled via the ATA cable where the CD drive
usually is connected, or the SATA calbe, if it's a newer drive. Or, to
make it more complicated, when the drive is a SCSI cable; I don't think
SCSI transmits audio data via the SCSI cable...

At least the drive should show the typical playing activity which can
be checked using a headphone on the drive's front connector (if it has
one).

Weird problem with firefox

I just uninstalled Firefox v. 2.0.0.20 and then installed firefox v. 3.0.5. 
Which shows one firefox binary; firefox3.  Yet, when I start firefox and click 
on Help/About, it shows I'm running 2.0.0.20.  WTF?


Anyone have a sensible explanation for this?

I have had people ask to remove things from the Mailman archives

people receiving these messages around the world who may have
them archived as well, not to mention google.  I never heard from
them again.

 You might try posting a helpful response instead of trying
 to be insulting.
 
 You might explain to the person, who apparently does not understand
 the net, that it would be impossible to remove all references with
 his name because within minutes of it being posted to the list
 it is mirrored and archived in many many places over which the list
 manager has no control - in fact does not even know about.  One example
 of those is Google.  FreeBSD has no control over what Google stores.
 But, there are many other sites that input this stuff, mung it according
 to their interests and make it available on the net.

 Many years ago we hosted the original CDDB database (identifies
 music CDs), and I got at least one complaint from somebody whose
 name appeared in a song title saying to remove it or else.

 I have had people ask to remove things from the Mailman archives
 of lists we host, who backed off when I asked for my normal
 hourly rate to (a) figure out how pipermail works, and (b) deal
 with removing their messages.  I added that there are hundreds of
 people receiving these messages around the world who may have
 them archived as well, not to mention google.  I never heard from
 them again.

i'm not sure why being seen in google is a bad thing. unless you're Mark
Rich or something. If you're overly concerned, maybe you could just contact
google and they would be willing to suit you for a small fee, perhaps your
soul.

 Hi everyone,

 Just to put you in context, I applied the following patch to make the 
 card available:

 SVN rev 186389 on 2008-12-22 00:46:22Z by yongari

 Since we don't request reset for rlphy(4), the link state 'UP'
 event from mii(4) may not be delivered if valid link was already
 established. To address the issue, check current link state after
 driving MII_TICK. This should fix a regression introduced in
 r185753 on fast ethernet controllers.

 ---

 I don't have any issue related to that anymore. The problem is that I 
 get link UP/DOWN a few times per hour on 3 identical machines that I 
 dumped/restored. They are all pluged in a Cisco switch that works 
 fine for every other PCs.

 Jan 26 06:09:15 term005 kernel: re0: link state changed to DOWN
 Jan 26 06:09:17 term005 kernel: re0: link state changed to UP

 I tried to switch cables, but I got the same result.

 There is the pciconf -lv output:

 r...@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x02 card=0x02831028 chip=0x816810ec 
 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
 device = 'RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC'
 class  = network
 subclass   = ethernet

 There is the output of vmstat -i:

 interrupt  total   rate
 irq18: re0 ehci0++ 63766  0
 irq19: atapci0277001  3
 cpu0: timer156068748   1961
 Total  156409515   1966

 Could it be related to the fact that there is re0 and ehci0++ on the 
 same IRQ?

 Thank you for your help,

 Martin
 I just tried with a brand new Dell 2708 switch and the problem is 
 still there. I just confirmed that the UP/DOWN occurs every 10 minutes 
 (+- a few seconds).

 Thanks again,

 Martin

 Just to follow-up on my own problem...

 I tried to disable some options of the card with :
 ifconfig re0 -rxcsum -txcsum -tso -lro -vlanhwtag

 but nothing as changed. I just tried to download a big file (FreeBSD 
 7.1-REL DVD iso in fact) to see if the deconnection occurs even during a 
 transfer. The DVD downloaded successfully and I verified that the MD5 
 are OK. BUT, /var/log/messages continue to tell me that:
 Feb  4 16:09:29 term003 kernel: re0: link state changed to UP
 Feb  4 16:19:26 term003 kernel: re0: link state changed to DOWN
 Feb  4 16:19:30 term003 kernel: re0: link state changed to UP
 Feb  4 16:19:32 term003 kernel: re0: link state changed to DOWN

 during the transfer (which worked OK). I don't know if that can help 
 someone to help me ;)

 Thanks,

 I have a solution to this well a work around.

 Add -tso to the relevant line in /etc/rc.conf

 ifconfig_re0=inet 192.168.1.103  netmask 255.255.255.0 -tso

 Adding -tso stops the link up / link down problem. Now I am understand that 
 this may increase cpu if the traffic on the nic is high. I am sure some one 
 the list will know of any other implications this may have.

 It is a known problem and I site I read the bug had been submitted so 
 hopefully it wont exist in 8.0 

 Regards

 Graeme

 As I stated in my last post, I tried to disable a few options, including 
 TSO. Still, I gived a try to your workaround. I now have this line in 
 rc.conf:
 ifconfig_re0=DHCP -tso

 but I have the same problem (it disconnect every 10 minutes and ask for 
 an IP to the DHCP).

 Thanks for your suggestion,

 Martin

Bridge setup at boot

I feel like a real newbie asking this one, but the answer is still
eluding me :(

I have a system where I'm separating my servers for distinction so I'm
running qemu.

I have a bridge setup which works occasionally, but I need it to work
100% of the time. I also need this to run at boot time, which is where
it seems to fall short (not to mention that on occasion even the re
driver fails to load- not sure if its hardware or software yet, but
appears to have no bearing on the bridge problem; I could still get an
ip address via dhcp when the bridge is not working).

My loader.conf looks like this:

snd_hda_load=YES
if_bridge_load=YES
if_tap_load=YES

My rc.conf looks like this:

cloned_interfaces=bridge0 tap0
autobridge_interface=bridge0
autbridge_bridge0=re0 tap0
ifconfig_re0=up
ifconfig_tap0=up
ifconfig_bridge0=DHCP

If I tell re0 to use DHCP as well, I can access the host, but not the
guest. If I run qemu in a script, the guest cannot get a DHCP address.

This seems to happen intermittently- one problem then the other. If the
bridge fails to get an ip from dhcp, I find re going down just after
bridge0 starts looking for an ip- re comes up again after that starts.
If bridge0 does get an ip, the tap0 will go down and qemu guest can't
get an ip.

I feel like I'm going round in circles now. Using rc.conf nothing
appears to be happening in order- things seem to be going up and down
when they feel like instead of when they should. I need this to be
stable, not a cross your fingers and toes, we're going in scenario-
which is what bridging appears to be like at startup. Manually I can get
it working off the bat, but I'm trying to get this working within the
framework provided.

For reference the sysctl.conf settings mentioned in some circles are
useless in 7.1- net.link.ether.bridge_cfg and
net.link.ether.bridge.enable aren't recognized.

Any help?

Even if *you* think it is humorous, have you ever known anyone, or had
any children with any sort of anxiety issues? I'm sure you haven't, or
you wouldn't be arguing with Mr. McAllister, and you surely wouldn't be

Perhaps by have to agree to disagree means that you will rephrase a
response to the OP directly that explains the 'hows' and 'whys' of the
non-feasibility of the request...

 Even if *you* think it is humorous, have you ever known anyone, or had
 any children with any sort of anxiety issues? I'm sure you haven't, or
 you wouldn't be arguing with Mr. McAllister, and you surely wouldn't be
 defending your post.

 Perhaps by have to agree to disagree means that you will rephrase a
 response to the OP directly that explains the 'hows' and 'whys' of the
 non-feasibility of the request...

 Cheers,

 Steve

 I read in a posting recently by a very, very prominent and respected

 disrespectful.

 In other words, you are accepting the fact that someone is wrong without
 finding a solution.

That is an incredibly narrow minded and arrogant way of looking at
things.  Opinions are not facts, they are flavors of belief.,
variances of ethos, and aspects of personalities.   What you are
saying is that one opinion is right, and that all others are wrong;
and in my opinion that is bull excrement.

I clearly stated in my earlier post that It is my opinion, and if
your assertion is that my opinion is wrong and that yours is right
then you really need to see a priest about your god complex.  Forget a

Thanks, Greeetz

Dear Mr Stalzer,

I am sorry to inform you that the very act of sending an email to
this list asking for the removal of your name from search results has,
in fact, sent the original posting to the top of the Google rankings
when searching for Constantin Stalzer.

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Constantin+Stalzer%22hl=enclient=firefox-arls=org.mozilla:en-US:officialhs=MLkfilter=0

At this point, the cat is out of the bag; as we say. By sending an
email to this list, your request was not only sent to thousands if
individuals, but it was displayed on the pages of countless websites
where the content of this mailing list is redisplayed for public
access. Those pages will also be indexed by Google over time, raising
the Google-Awareness of your name to even higher levels. It would not
be absolutely impossible to reverse this process, but I fear it would
take an actual act of the Gods.

Alas, I can offer no useful advice on how to remove Constantin
Stalzer from the search results, and I would be shocked if anyone
else could help either. It is simply too late. I am sorry.

If i had to have a guess, reading the error msg, there is a problem with 
your QT library, now i wouldnt say im an expert by any means, but a 
re-install of QT or it's libraries may fix the problem.

Lists and their webpost (nabble and whatever) counterparts will ensure
that the particular phrase, name, whatever gets stored in the google
webcrawler from many different areas which raises awareness of the
phrase, ergo top of the list in searching.

Its not how many times a phrase appears, its how many links relating to
the phrase there are. Thats why its hard work- you need to get others to
link to your site and the keyword. Thats what google sell in the google
ads system: links on other (related) sites.

long flame fest as to whether he's an idiot or just ignorant.  Most 
excellent solution to the problem.


By the way, attempting to actually explain to people why these things 
aren't as simple as they might appear can be dangerous.  Those of us who 
tried it a couple of months back on a BSD mailing list were turned over 
to the police for stalking by the OP, who insisted that we and our 
associates were in a conspiracy to not remove all mention of her from 
google that displeased her.  I don't think she ever quite caught on that 
the more mail she sent to an archived, public list, the more hits that 
she didn't like would show up.

Re: Bridge setup at boot

Da Rock wrote:
 I feel like a real newbie asking this one, but the answer is still
 eluding me :(
 
 I have a system where I'm separating my servers for distinction so I'm
 running qemu.
 
 I have a bridge setup which works occasionally, but I need it to work
 100% of the time. I also need this to run at boot time, which is where
 it seems to fall short (not to mention that on occasion even the re
 driver fails to load- not sure if its hardware or software yet, but
 appears to have no bearing on the bridge problem; I could still get an
 ip address via dhcp when the bridge is not working).
 
 My loader.conf looks like this:
 
 snd_hda_load=YES
 if_bridge_load=YES
 if_tap_load=YES
 
 My rc.conf looks like this:
 
 cloned_interfaces=bridge0 tap0
 autobridge_interface=bridge0
 autbridge_bridge0=re0 tap0
 ifconfig_re0=up
 ifconfig_tap0=up
 ifconfig_bridge0=DHCP
 
 If I tell re0 to use DHCP as well, I can access the host, but not the
 guest. If I run qemu in a script, the guest cannot get a DHCP address.
 
 This seems to happen intermittently- one problem then the other. If the
 bridge fails to get an ip from dhcp, I find re going down just after
 bridge0 starts looking for an ip- re comes up again after that starts.
 If bridge0 does get an ip, the tap0 will go down and qemu guest can't
 get an ip.
 
 I feel like I'm going round in circles now. Using rc.conf nothing
 appears to be happening in order- things seem to be going up and down
 when they feel like instead of when they should. I need this to be
 stable, not a cross your fingers and toes, we're going in scenario-
 which is what bridging appears to be like at startup. Manually I can get
 it working off the bat, but I'm trying to get this working within the
 framework provided.
 
 For reference the sysctl.conf settings mentioned in some circles are
 useless in 7.1- net.link.ether.bridge_cfg and
 net.link.ether.bridge.enable aren't recognized.

Can you stabilize the bridge at boot, without any other software
starting up?

If not, does re0 get set up consistently with the same config with a
basic setup?

I had similar issues a while back (pre 7.1) in which sometimes 're'
devices didn't start up at the proper speed/duplex. Every once in a
while, it would show up at 10 or 100 half, when it should have been auto
set at full 100 or 1000. If I forced proper speed/duplex, other outside
programs began to work properly.

However, I haven't witnessed those issues since 7.1

The short answer is no. The usual problem here is re0 goes down just
after bridge0 goes looking for an ip. The other times are a mix of tap0
going down or some other gremlin I haven't been able to find yet.

 If not, does re0 get set up consistently with the same config with a
 basic setup?
 

It can, but that would depend on whether the driver picks it up during
boot. If the driver comes back with an error then re0 doesn't exist for
the rc.conf, if re0 does exist it usually sets up and runs ok during the
entire system up time (as far as I'm aware- I'm accessing the system
usually through ssh, I haven't seen anything strange in the logs, so ?).

 I had similar issues a while back (pre 7.1) in which sometimes 're'
 devices didn't start up at the proper speed/duplex. Every once in a
 while, it would show up at 10 or 100 half, when it should have been auto
 set at full 100 or 1000. If I forced proper speed/duplex, other outside
 programs began to work properly.
 
 However, I haven't witnessed those issues since 7.1

I didn't know about that, but given the problems I'm having I'm starting
to wonder if they could be a root cause of the problem here.

 Another thing is that mysql shouldn't take infinite amounts of memory to
 work. You need to configure entries in my.cnf to match your limits and
 maxdsiz (in steady state + estimated spikes).

More specifically:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2008-April/173350.html

Use -eSHOW STATUS LIKE 'Max_used_connections' to get an indication of the 
number of connections you're seeing. Calculate your memory usage with that 
value, then see if it goes above memory limits.
Then try adjusting the key_buffer_size since it's globally allocated.

Note that this requires tuning. A lower key_buffer_size can mean that queries 
take longer, which in turn will increase your memory usage.

Things are more complicated with InnoDb.

Re: nss_ldap SSL/TLS problems..

2009-02-10 Thread Arjun Singh

Thanks for the advice. I tried to see if I could get nscd to solve anything,
but it seems to just hide the problem, and not completely. With nscd
enabled, the first login fails. After that, it's fine..

I get the following in auth.log corresponding with the failed first login
(with the correct pw):

Feb 10 22:03:23 new-hkn sshd[59371]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server

  I'm trying to set up an ldap server on FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE.
 
  I installed all of the latest versions of openldap24-server,
  openldap24-client, nss_ldap, and pam_ldap.
 
  When I do any sort of ldapsearch or 'getent passwd' or anything,
 everything
  works perfectly. The only time I have trouble is when I'm logging in via
  SSH..then it gets really weird.
 
  1.) When I log in as a user in LDAP only and give the incorrect password
  first and then supply the correct password, everything works fine. If the
  user is in wheel, I can sudo.
  2.) When I log in as the same user and give only the correct password the
  first time, it hangs for roughly 45 seconds and then lets me in. Even
 though
  this user is in wheel, it says that the user is not in the sudoers file.
 
  Here are the log messages I get in auth.log that correspond to the events
  above:
 
  sshd[54031]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user uid=user..(cut)...
  (Invalid credentials) # This is the incorrect pw
  sshd[54029]: error: PAM: authentication error for user from localhost
  #Incorrect pw
  sshd[54032]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is
 unavailable
  # correct pw
  sshd[54029]: Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for user from localhost
 port
  32935 ssh2 #correct pw
 
  When I enter just the right password, the first time, I get this in the
 log:
 
  sshd[54047]: Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for user from localhost
 port
  51972 ssh2
  sshd[54050]: nss_ldap: could not get LDAP result - Can't contact LDAP
 server
 
  Again, when SSL/TLS are disabled, I get normal log output and none of the
  weird stuff above..
 
  I turned on debugging in nss_ldap.conf and found that each time I gave
 only
  the correct password (corresponding with the 45 second hang) I found this
 in
  the debug output:
 
  ...bunch of normal looking output...
  ldap_chkResponseList ld 0x801b31480 msgid 5 all 0
  ldap_chkResponseList returns ld 0x801b31480 NULL

  ** ld 0x801b31480 Response Queue:

  I get the above regardless of whether I'm using start_tls or ssl.
 
  If you have any insight, it'd be really useful. I've spent tons of time
  scouring lists for help and haven't found anything yet..

 I don't have any more insight into the problem other than to say we've
 had some similar issues in our environment. Initial password-based
 logins do not have groups initialized, but SSH key logins and /bin/login
 logins have groups initialized successfully.

 We were piloting nscd on some of our 7.0 boxes. It turns out that
 enabling nscd was a successful workaround. We have since enabled it on
 the rest of our 7.0 installations.

 Anyone out there have ideas?

  Do your own DNS. Your ISP chokes in  ('IPv6') look ups. If you're not
  allowed to, still run a local resolver with aggressive neg ttl caching.
 
  See the numerous tutorials on the web on how to run your own resolver.

 Well spotted.  You are right that the ISP is choking on , except it is
 returning SERVFAIL.  I already have a local named running and acts as a
 forwarder.  Unfortunately I have to use the ISP to resolve names (it is the
 only nameserver I have access to).

You cannot connect to an outside nameserver, due to ISP restrictions I take 
it?

 Google says bind won't cache SERVFAIL responces and I have no idea how to
 disable named from forwarding  requests.

Me neither. I battled with ISC about this before, but their position is that 
ISP nameservers and loadbalancers should 'get with the program'.
Not everyone has this luxury but if your ISP has any competition in your area, 
check them out.

I briefly looked into views but you don't seem to be able to select views 
based on RRs. Firewall isn't really an option either, since you'd have to 
inspect the UDP payload.

Accessing the complete log (rlog)

2009-02-10 Thread Yann-Gaël Guéhéneuc


Dear FreeBSD,

With some colleagues, we would like to study the evolution of FreeBSD.
I would like to download the changelog file of all files/revisions of
FreeBSD, typically using the following commands:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anon...@anoncvs.fr.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs
cvs login
(Password: anoncvs)
cvs rlog .  FreeBSD.cvs.changelog

However, when using this command I get the error:

cvs rlog: Logging .
cvs rlog: Logging CVSROOT
cvs [rlog aborted]: received abort signal
Assertion failed: (strstr (repository, /./) == NULL), function
do_recursion, file
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/cvs/../../../../contrib/cvs/src/recurse.c, line
643.

Is it possible that you CVS server does not support rlog because of
recursion? Do you think it could be possible to enable rlog?

Thank you very much in advance,
Yann
