ntpq command output and unreachable state?

I setup a test ntp server with /etc/ntp.conf = restrict default nomodify notrap noquery restrict 127.0.0.1 server 0.pool.ntp.org server clock.isc.org and started ntpd daemon using /usr/sbin/ntpd -c /etc/ntp.conf -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /var/db/ntpd.drift -g -l /var/log/ntpd.log and blocked all port 123 traffic that goes out from this ntp server at my gateway (to simulate to lost connection on ntp servers at ntp.conf) After 26 hours later my ntpd still thinks that it can reach to clock.isc.org (as can be seen with * mark before clock.isc.org below) # ntpq -c peers remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter == +194.27.110.130 131.188.3.2202 u 27h 10240 67.816 13.282 0.000 *clock.isc.org 204.123.2.5 2 u 26h 10240 224.461 -15.208 0.000 But I am sure that it can't reach (I sniff my firewall so no traffic comes from clock.isc.org).

Re: RFC: Fam/Python based script for bruteforce blocking

Well, my first problem with it is obviously that I now need python, where I don't want python. In fact, my firewalls/gateways only have /bin/sh and /bin/csh as scripting languages. It's one reason I switched from custom sysutils/grok rules to using security/sshguard - it got me rid of perl. Secondly, you have matching rules coded in the script. If there would be one reason to prefer this script over sshguard, it would be that I can add attack patterns more easily, in config file with a syntax that's not too obscure. Last but not least, you assume that once an IP is at fault, I want that IP blocked permanently. In practice you end up with an extremely large table that might eventually be too big for a default PF table and recurring scans from the same IP are not that common (you see the IP in a 12-24 hour window, then not again).

question about building a custom kernel
Hi I have been reading the handbook to learn about building a custom kernel, but just wanted to ask something about gathering information about my hardware before I give it a go. The handbook suggests the command: # pciconf -lv ...which I like because it provides a clear list of components I can find out about before I try to build the new kernel. On my system, this command does print out information for quite a few components, I just wondered if this information is all I need to work from or is it not an accurate or detailed enough representation of the hardware I have in my computer.

I'd really appreciate any advice on how others go about this. Jamie Jamie, pciconf will list pci devices only (and their derivatives, like PCI-X and PCI-e). ISA devices (if any) are done differently, and also usb devices (usbdevs). Building a custom kernel most of the time involves the following decisions: embedding a firewall, so you cannot disable a firewall by unloading a module. Extending options, filesystem quotas for example. The modular kernel can add devices by modules, but can't really add options. Embedded solutions, like a single-purpose unit that is an all-in-one solution. The soekris and PC Engines firewall products come to mind. 99% of my time, I leave GENERIC (makes updating it easier with freebsd-update) alone and load the kernel modules I need. the amount of ram used with a GENERIC kernel and a stripped kernel to your hardware may save 2MB of disk, and 1MB of RAM. Not very worth it for the computers today where you have TB's of disk, and GB's of ram.

Devices connected to the USB bus will not show up here (except from the USB controllers). If you look at the first line for every device, the one with the @ in it, you can see if a driver has attached to that device in question. Devices whose name start with 'none' followed by a number followed by @ do not have a driver installed. Another thing you should look for is which modules are loaded, use the command 'kldstat' for that. Also have a look at the output of the 'dmesg' command.

Maybe there's a similar efficient way to truncate the start of a file. This should do it: dd if=oldfile of=newfile bs=1 skip=4 Or, perhaps marginally more efficient: dd if=oldfile of=newfile bs=4 skip=1 It would be nice to avoid the file copy, but maybe there's no way to do that. The small buffer size for dd will probably make copies of multi-gig files slow. This might be faster: tail -c +5 myfile outfile truncate -4 outfile yes, quite. On 1.5GHz ia64, on 1GB binary file tail takes about 25 s, but dd.. I killed after 25 min (!) and it had only done 1/3 of the file. But even tail is too slow. So I'll probably have to write a C I/O routine and avoid fortran I/O alltogether, so I write straight away just my data. many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Any chance ZFS becoming default?
On Saturday 19 December 2009 22:26, Pieter de Goeje wrote: Don't spread FUD please. If you had read the WIKI you would know it talks about sysinstall support for ZFS, not about removing UFS. i'm sorry if my mail was misleading. we have no idea how it will be implemented. my guess is that both ufs and zfs would be available through sysinstall, but then again, unless we see the final implementation nothing is sure. On the original topic: zfs does not have the experimental tag since 8.0. it would not be normal to add sysinstall support (and even more setting as default) in a feature that was experimental. So of course it was pushed to 9 -- Real programmers don't document. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: question about building a custom kernel

If you wish to shorten kernel compile times and reduce the size of /boot, have a look at the MODULES_OVERRIDE and WITHOUT_MODULES variables in /etc/make.conf. That said, good luck, I haven't had any serious problems and I've been using custom kernels since FreeBSD 4.1 or so. While I agree in principle that compiling a custom kernel isn't usually worth it on modern machines, I recently gained a 65% disk space saving over GENERIC by bulding a custom kernel. Granted that was achieved because it's installed on a router with just 128MB RAM so I removed things like wifi and usb support, opted for device mii and added the PHY drivers I knew were used and added pf support, but it does show that substantial savings are still possible. Another reason for building a custom kernel is to add functionality that isn't available through modules, such as support for DTrace. -- Bruce Cran ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
ld-elf related problems
Hi, I'm running 8.0-RELEASE amd64, and various applications randomly coredump and exit with signal 10; this has started apparently after installing numpy from ports, which also pulled gcc44. Right after that basically all apps i had running crashed, and they wouldn't start. The error was something about unrecognized symbols or something in ld-elf-something. I can't be more specific, because after a reboot, stuff worked again - mostly. Now applications periodically coredump, but then start again. Does anyone have any insights?

Re: question about building a custom kernel
ill...@gmail.com writes: You aren't going to gain much in speed or size savings, so do take care to understand what you hope to gain. While I haven't done even an eyeball check recently, not too long ago the size savings for an aggressively pruned kernel could be quite noticable; there was also anecdotal support (waves hand) forfaster performance. Barring that? Every part of the kernel is something that can possbily go wrong, either by itself or by interacting with another part; if it isn't there, it can't break. Now the record on this really pretty awesome ... on the other hand, I can't argue with the person who doesn't want to roll those dice. And compile times of current generation hardware are pretty short. On an AMD Phenom II x4 940 (3 ghz) it's 5 minutes, maybe less.

How to enable network manager in KDE?
How do I launch network manager that allows to visually manage WiFi and LAN connections? I have FreeBSD on a laptop and I have to establish WiFi connections manually -- it's very inconvenient. In Kubuntu this problem is solved and WiFi management is very easy. It's the same Looking for the same in FreeBSD. Also how to make ifconfig display very long SSID strings?

RE: request
Hello Akbar, Before submitting a question, make sure its a proper question! and before attempting to do something, read about it, check it out then decide if you want to do it or not. Did you read about FreeBSD and did you check the website www.FreeBSD.org or not? If you cannot download the OS ISO which is over 600MB and NO ONE will send you 600MB thro Email, you should purchase the CD. Out of your question I think you will not make even a proper install to FreeBSD.
