[ Snip discussion of symptoms of window scaling broken when

we have seen this since 4.x
I think a fix may be in 7.0 but I'm not sure..
I thin kthere is a problem when the far end sets the window down to 1 
but scales it by a factor of 2^{big number}.

Andre, can you check out this problem and MFC the correct fix
if it is indeed the same problem in 6.2?

It is the same problem; I took the (one-line) fix as indicated by

http://cvs.ironport.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/freebsd/src/sys/netinet/tcp_syncache.c.diff?r1=1.84r2=1.85

(well, not cvs.ironport.com, which doesn't seem to exist at the moment),
and applied the diff from 1.84 to
1.85 and to a 6.2-PRERELEASE box updated around 25 Dec 06.
It works like a charm.

I would vote to MFC 1.85 now that 6.2 is out.

 How hard is your requirement that it has to be in the kernel? If it is
 not very strong: you could extend sade(8) to handle GEOM stuff.

How should the g* stuff be included? like extracting code from the individual
g* control programs and placed in sade? I could look at doing that.

I don't think you need to reformat.  Just turning off softupdates and 
adding the journal on another device should work.

I think what Mike means is that eliminating the need of another device
and just use space in the current file system, perhaps a dummy file with
VV_SYSTEM.

Yea, that would be interesting, indeed.  If we only had shrinkfs for 
UFS2.  :)

ssh-add core dump out of the blue...

2007-01-20 Thread Steve Clement

Hi List,

all of a sudden my ssh-add dumps. As always :) I haven't changed anything.

In the beginning I thought my encrypted disk key was borked but I
re-created a new key and I have the same phenomenon.

http://steve.localhost.lu/ssh-add.core
http://steve.localhost.lu/ktrace.out

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ uname -a
FreeBSD laptop-steve.localhost.lu 6.2-RC2 FreeBSD 6.2-RC2 #1: Sun Dec 24

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LAPTOP-STEVE  i386

obviously the dump is my NON-FUNCTIONAL NO PASSPHRASE KEY!!!

Do I need to provide any more info?

cheers,

Steve Clement
