Re: Displaying options for current NFS mounts
What happened to this patch/this discussion? To remind everyone, the issue was to print specific file-system specific mount options as in dima@spike% /sbin/mount -vt nfs pid295@spike:/host on /host (nfs, v2, udp, hard, intr) pid295@spike:/st on /st (nfs, v2, udp, hard, intr) instead of just dima@spike% /sbin/mount -vt nfs pid295@spike:/host on /host (nfs) pid295@spike:/st on /st (nfs) Gerald On Sun, 25 Mar 2001, Dima Dorfman wrote: >Boris Popov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >> This is not a bikeshed, but sysctl is the wrong interface to do >> this.

bridging on specific devices
Hello, I'm using 4.2 release and i need bridging. Luigi tells in the manpage that the option to select specific devices for bridging is still in development. Does anybody know how far this work is done in 4.3 stable ? I need this feature very urgently, and all of my experiments with net.link.ether.bridge_cfg didn't work because the bridge was either completely deactived or active on all interface and not just the desired ones.

There were some reports in current@ about incorrect usage of i586_bzero()
which uses FPU for zero-filling. It generated random kernel panics mainly
on K6-2, also on P5-MMX and similars. You can try to disable such bzero,
but IMHO it is reasonable to upgrade to 4.3-RELEASE (RELENG_4_3) first.

Realy LARGE TCP/IP Window Size?
I am working on a FreeBSD device driver for my Co's GSN adapter and need to be able to set my TCP/IP window size to 512KB (or perhaps more). I have tried doing this with sysctl: root@sebulba:p0 /root> sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.recvspace=524288 net.inet.tcp.recvspace: 131072 -> 524288 root@sebulba:p0 /root> sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.sendspace=524288 net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 131072 -> 524288 and although the sysctl happily takes the specification, when I attempt an ftp command I get: root@sebulba:p0 /root> ftp 192.168.1.2 ftp: socket: No buffer space available This is on a FreeBSD 4.0-stable system: FreeBSD sebulba.vieo.com 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #202: Mon May 7 15:09:46 CDT 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/GPXTEST i386 Anybody have any ideas what I need to do to get this to work?

You can always tweak it by turning off flag 0x1 on the atkbd0 device via a custom kernel or using a userconfig script. However, by default keyboards are actually probed and not assumed present on 4.3, so hotplug of a keyboard if the keyboard was not plugged in in 4.3 will not work out of the box. Note that hotplug of USB will work. A real fix would be to have the atkbdc0 driver attach a atkbd0 device in the case that a keyboard interrupt comes in (i.e. on the first keypress after plugging in the keyboard). -- John Baldwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Here's a patch that:
1) introduces the -x option, which makes opaque variables visible.
2) allows variables to be set without the -w option.
3) undocuments the now-superfluous -w option.

As an example, sockets passed from a daemon running as root to child processes as nobody still have root privs on the sockets. As such, you can't use sbsize limiting or ipfw's uid-based tracking on apache and presumably any other root spawning, priv dropping daemons. Patching the net code to drop the privs to match those of the accepting connection was easy, though I didn't test enough to check if it broke the /dev/io case or others.

sysctl(8) and opaque MIB entries
Hi folks, Is there a good reason why sysctl(8) won't display _any_ output for opaque MIB entries named as arguments? I'm specifically interested in kern.proc.all. I can ``sysctl -A | grep kern.proc.all'', but it's weird that neither of these two do anything useful: sysctl -A kern.proc.all sysctl kern.proc.all Is there some sound reason for this, or am I just lost on the fringes of what sysctl(8) was designed for?
