Upgrading sendmail to 8.12.8
Ok, yesterday morning I applied the security patch for sendmail 8.12.6 -- along with about half of the rest of the world. :) Everything works fine. However, I would like to upgrade to 8.12.8. So, I downloaded the tarball (from sendmail.org), ran the ./Build script, and tested the binary before using it. It was missing half the goodies I had compiled in earlier (like SASL). That did not surprise me, really. But my question is, how can I make the sendmail src I untarred in my work-dir aware of my current config files? I mean, so I will only need to recompile (without having to set up everything from scratch; and then, come the new upgrade, go through the same cumbersome motions again). And, perhaps this is pushing my luck, but when will there be an 8.12.8 in the ports collection? I found 8.12_7 there, but I am obviously not going with that.

Some utilities like sort provide their own solutions to let you use the same file as both input and output, but most require an alternate strategy. The most common method is to use two files to avoid having the original overwritten until all operations are complete: utility -flags file.1 file.2 mv file.2 file.1 Alternatively you can replace the intermediate files with standard output/input to allow the original file to be replaced with the output of the command you wish to run: cp file - | (utility -flags - file) Cheers, Viktor To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: How can I completely replace gcc installed by default with new gcc-3.2?
Why? How can I force it to install gcc in normal way? Because your base system *and* most important the FreeBSD 4-STABLE kernel are developed with gcc 2.95.x. If you use a different compiler, you might (and probably will) end up with a br0ken system! You can safely use gcc 3.x for the ports collection, since you can't break your whole installation. If you want gcc 3.x as your system compiler, you have to upgrade to FreeBSD 5. Regards, Simon signature.asc Description: Digital signature

hi, fist something about my sytem: Vendor: Fujitsu Siemens Model: Lifebook B2130 CPU: Intel Celeron 400MHz mobile Chipset: Intel 443MX RAM: 192M (64M builtin, 128M additional) HD: 20GB Network: Intel EtherExpress 100 Modem: Lucent LT Winmodem 56k PCMCIA: RL5C475 CardBus OS: FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE-p4 the problem: i have two wireless nic's. one lucent-orinoco and one avaya. both cards should be supported by the wi driver. but if i insert these cards, i only get wi0 init failed (three times) and wi0 mac read failed (three times). here is a short excerpt of the logs: --- wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x; event status 0x8000 wi0: init failed wi0: init failed wi0: init failed wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0021; event status 0x8000 wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0021; event status 0x8000 wi0: mac read failed 5 wi0: mac read failed 5 wi0: mac read failed 5 device_probe_and_attach: wi0 attach failed 5 --- i searched with google but the only thing i found was the information, that init failed means, that the initialization of the card was not succesful. also i tried the debug sysctl switches, but it gives no information about this problem. i tried a non wireless nic with the same kernel and it works without problems. card was found and initialized without any errors. next i tried the wireless cards on a FreeBSD-4.7 system, and the init process there was succesful. now i've recompiled my kernel with an OLDCARD config style. and surprise, the cards are working, without problems. so i searched the docs, and the source, but there i found nothing about problems with the wi driver and NEWCARD. can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this problem, because i need the 32-bit cardbus support for other cards. thanks in advance regards Joerg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: Can I run my own Dynamic DNS server for private use ??
Sure... I'm almost positive there are ports available that do that sort of thing, I just wrote my own :) I have 2 Perl scripts that do exactly what you want. (well almost)... One sits on the client and runs ifconfig -L device to a text file about every 10 to 20 minutes. The text file is then parsed and if the IP address is different from the most recent one, it sends it to the server. The server runs another script every 5 minutes and if it finds an IP address, it then parses that, and updates a db entry in the namedb database and sends an ndc restart to named. A bit crude, but it works, and I've been using it for about 2 years now... Peter At 09:25 PM 3/4/2003 -0800, you wrote: I have a static IP and a number of remotes with Cable or ADSL access.

firewall revisited
Hello-
currently my rc.conf is set up like this for my gateway router.
gateway_enable=YES
firewall_enable=YES
firewall_type=OPEN
natd_enable=YES
natd_interface=rl1 # natd -interface rl1, public interface
natd_flags=# sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
how can i have the script /etc/ipfw.rules run instead of /etc/rc.firewall. can i
change
firewall_type=OPEN to firewall_type= and create the entry
firewall_script=/etc/ipfw.rules?
what i would like to do is block all access to services on the router like
httpd, sshd, etc
the other think i would like to do is port forward ssh from another machine and
allow access of that from an external network.
does something like this make sense?
thanks,

However, now I need to connect that computer to another computer through a hub without any interent connection at all. (I just want to have a VNC viewer up in the freebsd box so that the freebsd box can control the other computer running WinXP) Both computer does not have connection to the interent.

thanks,
If you are using NAT then the -redirect_port option to natd will do that (ie.
forward incoming port 22 connections to an internal machine), which can be
set in /etc/rc.conf in the natd_flags=-redirect_port ... variable. You
have to create a corresponding ipfw rule to allow the traffic after natd
rewrites the destination IP to your internal LAN machine, which it looks like
you have done below, except the from would be any not ROUTER_IP. It
will be the IP of the outside machine trying to connect to port 22.
I have a similar port forward set up. Early in the firewall rules allow all
established TCP connections, and then later allow the setup for the initial
SSH connection. 10.0.1.2 would be a machine behind the firewall to receive
SSH connections, and ed0 would be the external internet interface.
in /etc/rc.conf:
natd_flags=-redirect_port tcp 10.0.1.2:ssh ssh
in the firewall script:
ipfw -q flush
ipfw add 00050 divert natd ip from any to any via ed0
ipfw add 00100 allow tcp from any to any via ed0 established
more rules here
ipfw add 01000 allow tcp from any to 10.0.1.2 ssh setup
more rules here
ipfw add 65530 deny log ip from any to any
I winged this so forgive any errors, but it's based on what I have working,
including a rule to deny and log everything by default at the bottom.

At what point of the upgrade procedure is it too late to turn back if something does not go right. 2 I keep amanda tape backups of every file system on all machines.

Re: 4.3 - RELENG_4
IAccounts wrote: Unfortunatly, I have never successfully upgraded a Free box yet, mind you I have only tried it on one. Last year I was dropped into a production environment with all 4.3 machines. I have no devel equipment prior to 4.6. The upgrade attempts were all only on one box (4.6) and failed due to suspect hardware. My question is not howto upgrade, but; 1 Since I have only production equipment to 'test' an upgrade on, I am very nervous. At what point of the upgrade procedure is it too late to turn back if something does not go right. If you install the kernel, then reboot (before installing world) you will be ensuring that the new kernel you built will boot reliably. This is the final practical point of return. If you have problems with the new kernel booting, you can copy /kernel.old back to /kernel and be back to where you started. If the new kernel is fine, continue with installworld. Once you've installed world, however, it's an ungodly amount of work to revert everything. 2 I keep amanda tape backups of every file system on all machines. If something goes critically wrong, can the system be rebooted at least to the point where I can pull data back off tapes? As long as your system is bootable, yes. Do you have FreeBSD 4.3 CDs? If so, you can easily do a base install, and then restore from backup to get back up and running as you were. (should things happen to go terribly wrong) I've very seldom had any problems upgrading using cvsup. You will hit a few (minor) gotchas ... read /usr/src/UPDATING and you won't have any problems with them. Basically: Update your source with cvsup read /usr/src/UPDATING and follow any instructions required (I believe you'll need to manually create the relatively new sendmail users) Reveiw you kernel config file to see if any options have changed since 4.3 make buildkernel make installkernel reboot if the reboot doesn't go well, boot kernel.old and copy it to /kernel to get back to 4.3 make buildworld make installworld Going from 4.3 - 4.7 may cause some problems with some ports. The solution is generally to uninstall the port and rebuild it. Update your ports tree first. Schedule yourself a nice chunk of time to do the first machine, then you'll be able to better predict the time required for the rest. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

You've been lucky. Things other than the handbook order can - and often do - work. But the order in the handbook was carefully worked out to minimize the risk you are taking in doing the upgrade. For instance, by doing the installworld before rebooting on the new kernel, you're committing yourself to running the new kernel before you know if it'll boot or not. Since kernels have to support old binaries, but not vice versa, you can usually reboot with the new kernel and old world and have it work. I do that regularly when upgrading systems with src/obj mounted via nfs. Also, you need at least one last reboot. Running mergemaster changes configuration files that are used at system startup. Unless you reboot after running mergemaster, you risk those changes not taking effect. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Re: How can I completely replace gcc installed by default with newgcc-3.2?
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], sergey dyshel [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: Hi As I know, FreeBSD 4.7 installed gcc-29.5 on my system by default (not as package but as part of base system). When I installed gcc-3.2.1 from binary package I noticed that it didn't overwrote lib and include files in /usr but instead put the in /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386/3.2.1. Why? How can I force it to install gcc in normal way? You don't want to do that. It'll break building the system. The commands installed in /usr/local/bin will use the correct libraries and include files. Just use those. You can just symlink gcc32 to cc in /usr/local/bin, and make sure that /usr/local/bin is in front of /usr/bin in your path. Things that use cc will use gcc32, and everything will work pretty much like you want. If you're willing to run code on a development branch - which means it's more likely to fail in strange ways, and there'll be less help available when it does - you can upgrade to FreeBSD 5.0, which uses gcc3 in place of 2.95. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Re: still can't resolve these system reboots... help please
I feel for you. I too am having it. Most of the time it does it while I'm not around, but once I was in elm writing mail, and the screen went black, and the DELL splash screen came on. I ran burnP6 for a few minutes (Boy does it make the system unhappy, but it kept chugging) and BurnMMX too. I'm cvsup'd to Feb 23, RELENG_4. Tuc/TTSG Internet Services, Inc. can faulty hardware be ruled out then? I don't know. burnP6 and burnMX have been running all night 342:16 49.17% 49.17% burnBX 340:52 48.10% 48.10% burnP6 and there are no problems so far. BTW: When I run it, the system actually makes a high pitched squeal. It seems to do that anytime the system is doing something CPU intensive. it's odd though, this thing just started happening on day when i first started creating DSA keyparis. other than that, things were rock solid. Same for me, but mine was upgrading X and it locked up installing. this is starting to leave a sour taste in my mouth. :/ Agreed. Tuc/TTSG Internet Services, Inc.

Re: 4.3 - RELENG_4
Unfortunatly, I have never successfully upgraded a Free box yet, mind you I have only tried it on one. Last year I was dropped into a production environment with all 4.3 machines. I have no devel equipment prior to 4.6. The upgrade attempts were all only on one box (4.6) and failed due to suspect hardware. My question is not howto upgrade, but; 1 Since I have only production equipment to 'test' an upgrade on, I am very nervous. At what point of the upgrade procedure is it too late to turn back if something does not go right. If you install the kernel, then reboot (before installing world) you will be ensuring that the new kernel you built will boot reliably. This is the final practical point of return. If you have problems with the new kernel booting, you can copy /kernel.old back to /kernel and be back to where you started. If the new kernel is fine, continue with installworld. Once you've installed world, however, it's an ungodly amount of work to revert everything. 2 I keep amanda tape backups of every file system on all machines. If something goes critically wrong, can the system be rebooted at least to the point where I can pull data back off tapes? As long as your system is bootable, yes. Do you have FreeBSD 4.3 CDs? If so, you can easily do a base install, and then restore from backup to get back up and running as you were. (should things happen to go terribly wrong) I've very seldom had any problems upgrading using cvsup. You will hit a few (minor) gotchas ... read /usr/src/UPDATING and you won't have any problems with them. Basically: Update your source with cvsup read /usr/src/UPDATING and follow any instructions required (I believe you'll need to manually create the relatively new sendmail users) Reveiw you kernel config file to see if any options have changed since 4.3 make buildkernel make installkernel reboot if the reboot doesn't go well, boot kernel.old and copy it to /kernel to get back to 4.3 make buildworld make installworld Going from 4.3 - 4.7 may cause some problems with some ports. The solution is generally to uninstall the port and rebuild it. Update your ports tree first. Schedule yourself a nice chunk of time to do the first machine, then you'll be able to better predict the time required for the rest. Thanks for the goldmine of info! Unfortunatly, my boxes are sooo old :o) that cvsup appears to be out of date, as I get 'Protocol negotiation failed'. Catch 22 I guess, so I found on http://people.freebsd.org/~jdp/s1g (I think this is John Poelstra's site?) That I have to upgrade my cvsup. I will do this then let you know how the upgrade went.

RE: connecting two computer through a hub
Hi: I have a machine set up with freebsd and it was set up to connect to the internet. Cool. However, now I need to connect that computer to another computer through a hub without any interent connection at all. (I just want to have a VNC viewer up in the freebsd box so that the freebsd box can control the other computer running WinXP) Both computer does not have connection to the interent. Well, we can show you how to put them both on the internet at the same time using something called network address translation. This will allow both computers to share one public internet ip address. Is this what your asking for help about? My question is, do I have to change any settings on the freebsd box? This will depend on exactly what your asking for help on. Thanks Your welcome.

vinum: low level access to subdisks / drives
Hello, Here is a vinum question. Assume this setup: Two partitions ad0s1e and ad2s1e of type vinum with the same size. vinum is set up to use this disks as RAID 1 (mirror): drive drive0 device /dev/ad0s1e drive drive2 device /dev/ad2s1e volume mirr plex org concat sd len 0s drive disk0 plex org concat sd len 0s drive disk2 newfs has been done and the /dev/vinum/mirr is mounted to /mirr with rw access. Everything is working without problem. Because we do not rely on the harddisks and the files at /mirr are accessed seldom and random, we want to check, if all sectors of the disks ad0 and ad2 are readable without problem. To do so, we want to run a nightly low priority cron job that tries to read all sectors of a disk without further analyzing the data read. The result of a failed read (hard disk failure) will be a kernel message in /var/log/messages, which we monitor 24x7 a day. Lets say we do dd for reading the sectors: dd if=/dev/ad0s1 of=/dev/zero bs=1024k Questions: 1. Will this conflict with vinum or its internal (kernel) data structures when vinum is running the same time with all components of the RAID 'up'? 2. Will this conflict with parallel read/write access to /mirr ? 3. Should we use dd if=/dev/vinum/sd/mirr.p0.s0 ... instead of /dev/ad0s1e ? with best regards Alexander -- Alexander Haderer Charite Berlin - Germany To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

My question is, is there some reprocussions of this that i should be weary of? Security issues? I have two 120 gig maxtor drives that i can move ftp too, but /usr isnt all that full cause i made it huge because i mirror the freebsd srces too. and i will never use all that space so it makes more sense to keep it in /usr if i can. keep in mind also this is anonymous ftp we are talking about. thanks. -- Independent WWW/FreeBSD/Linux/Unix consultant, email me for more info.

Re: firewall revisited
how can i have the script /etc/ipfw.rules run instead of /etc/rc.firewall. can i change firewall_type=OPEN to firewall_type= and create the entry firewall_script=/etc/ipfw.rules? I have that working right now with: firewall_enable=YES firewall_script=/etc/rc.firewall.local ... where /etc/rc.firewall.local contains the customized ipfw commands. what i would like to do is block all access to services on the router like httpd, sshd, etc the other think i would like to do is port forward ssh from another machine and allow access of that from an external network. does something like this make sense? thanks, If you are using NAT then the -redirect_port option to natd will do that (ie. forward incoming port 22 connections to an internal machine), which can be set in /etc/rc.conf in the natd_flags=-redirect_port ... variable. You have to create a corresponding ipfw rule to allow the traffic after natd rewrites the destination IP to your internal LAN machine, which it looks like you have done below, except the from would be any not ROUTER_IP. It will be the IP of the outside machine trying to connect to port 22. I have a similar port forward set up. Early in the firewall rules allow all established TCP connections, and then later allow the setup for the initial SSH connection. 10.0.1.2 would be a machine behind the firewall to receive SSH connections, and ed0 would be the external internet interface. in /etc/rc.conf: natd_flags=-redirect_port tcp 10.0.1.2:ssh ssh in the firewall script: ipfw -q flush ipfw add 00050 divert natd ip from any to any via ed0 ipfw add 00100 allow tcp from any to any via ed0 established more rules here ipfw add 01000 allow tcp from any to 10.0.1.2 ssh setup more rules here ipfw add 65530 deny log ip from any to any I winged this so forgive any errors, but it's based on what I have working, including a rule to deny and log everything by default at the bottom. [snip] Jeff, you must have your firewall_type set to the default then in rc.conf or /etc/defaults/rc.conf. does you setup not run the standard rc.firewall file in /etc? does this rule allow any access to the outside network? ipfw add 00100 allow tcp from any to any via ed0 established thanks, brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

HELP: Exim - SMTP AUTH, STARTTLS, and PAM or pwcheck on FreeBSD
--- Sorry if this gets posted twice, sigh, email issues -
I've been playing with exim for a little bit now, my new server I'm going to
roll out I would like to use exim instead of sendmail. So far, exim is much
nicer to use, however, I am at a loss where to go now.
I figure many would like to have the following ...
SMTP standard receive on port 25
Relaying supported on 25 via STARTTLS + SMTP AUTH
SSL Tunneled on port 485 + SMTP AUTH
I've gotten the tunneled part to work. I got port 25 going. I can't get
AUTH to work, and haven't tried STARTTLS yet.
My authenticators section, I have so far:
fixed_login:
driver = plaintext
public_name = LOGIN
server_prompts = Username:: : Password::
server_condition=${if pam{$1:$2}{1}{0}}
# server_condition = ${if pam{$1:${sg{$2}{:}{::}}}{yes}{no}}
# server_condition = ${if pwcheck{$1:$2}{1}{0}}
server_set_id = $1
Note, the commented sections I have tired each and still generate the errors
below.
2003-03-05 12:28:46 Authentication failed for ([192.168.22.101])

I have not modified /etc/pam.conf yet.
Anyone got some tips, help, advice where to go next - it seems like is a
PAM/pwcheck issue, not exim at this point, or a draft at an HOWTO ?
Specifics on exim and freebsd seem to be few right now.

How many mbufs do I need?
I killed my FreeBSD 4.8-PRE (2003-02-18) server today by exhausting the available mbufs. I'd seen warnings like All mbuf clusters exhausted, please see tuning(7). in /var/log/messages, so I added `kern.ipc.nmbclusters=16384' to /boot/loader.conf.local a while back. This server has 768MB of memory, and I run at least two copies of PostgreSQL (it has multiple jails) at any given time and use it to server NFS to a couple of Linux clients. Today I wanted to test Bochs on one of the Linux machines, ran the bochsconf program, watched it run createdisk to make a 512MB disk image in my home directory, and saw the server panic within a few seconds. When it came back up, I bumped nmbclusters to 32768, rebooted, and tried createdisk it. This time I watched `netstat -m' as the dreaded All mbuf clusters exhausted... message began to scroll up the screen. This time, the server stayed alive, but it clearly maxed out all available buffers. After createdisk was finished, the mbuf usage went back to normal: $ netstat -m 389/36736/131072 mbufs in use (current/peak/max): 389 mbufs allocated to data 388/32768/32768 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max) 74720 Kbytes allocated to network (33% of mb_map in use) 345 requests for memory denied 1 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines My questions are these: 1) Is there a guideline for how many nmbclusters to allocate? Short of running out of physical memory, is there such a thing as too many? 2) I've already allocated 64MB to network buffering. This seems like a huge amount to me. Is it? 3) Should running out of mbufs be expected to crash the server, or should I try to reproduce it and file a PR? 4) What could createdisk have been doing to spike usage that heavily? 5) Could Linux's NFS client implementation have aggravated the situation? -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

This is determined only by the flags in each inbound packet, not because of any memory of the state of connections. You would also need rules dealing with the setup packets to allow the TCP connections to be created. It's in the ipfw man page and probably the FreeBSD Handbook also with better examples, but a quick additional rule to allow you to get out on ed0 with any possible TCP connection would be: ipfw add 00200 allow tcp from any to any out xmit ed0 setup Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 problems
HI all I have a problem with installing the macromedia flash6 plugin on netscape7 on my friends computer. I get the following error when initalizing the plugin: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/lib/linux-netscape7-english/plugins/libflashplayer.so [libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] linux: 'ipc' typ=258 not implemented On my machine I see I have a /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 file that is linked to libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so. On google I get the impression that this file is part of the /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base port, the libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so is mentioned in pkg-plist.alpha but not mentioned in pkg-plist.i386. I am thinking of taking a chance and just copying my file into the correct location and linking it, but I am thinking, why does a plugin for an i386 system look for a file that is part of an alpha build machine and what is the importance of this file not being in the i386. I am still using linux_base-7.1_1 and the current package in the ports is linux_base-7.1_2 . Is it possible that this file has been ommited on purpose? Any ideas on how to bypass my problem without causing major damage to my friends computer?

how can i have the script /etc/ipfw.rules run instead of
/etc/rc.firewall. can i change
firewall_type=OPEN to firewall_type= and create the entry
firewall_script=/etc/ipfw.rules?
Why are you confused?
That depends on what you're trying to do and what the contents of
/etc/ipfw.rules are. There are currently the following ways to set up
a completely custom set of firewall rules:
1. Rewrite /etc/rc.firewall
This can easily be done, if you replace /etc/rc.firewall with your
custom script. This isn't recommended though since you'd have to
carefully track all changes to the official version of the
rc.firewall script and merge any interesting stuff back to your
version of the script.
2. Add a new firewall type to rc.firewall
Copying one of the existing firewall types you cann easily add a
new one, and make sure that it loads all (and only) the ipfw(8)
rules that you want. This can be difficult to keep up to date
after changes to the rc.firewall script, but not as difficult to
keep up to date as option #1.
3. Write your own version of a firewall script
Copy `rc.firewall' to a new script (i.e., `rc.firewall.local') and
make your changes to the new script. Then set firewall_script to
point to the new script in `/etc/rc.conf'. For example:
% cat /etc/rc.firewall.local
fwcmd=/sbin/ipfw
${fwcmd} -q flush
${fwcmd} add 1 pass ip from any to any
% grep firewall_script /etc/rc.conf
firewall_script=/etc/rc.firewall.local
This is a fairly nic way of doing things, but it doesn't work
correctly if you want to tweak the way ipfw(8) is called by
settings things like firewall_quiet=YES in your `rc.conf' file.
Mostly because the logic for all those firewall_xxx options is
implemented as part of the existing `rc.firewall' script.
4. Create a ruleset file, and point rc.firewall to it
You can always write your own set of firewall rules, without a
${fwcmd} prefix, and save it to a file, i.e. `/etc/ipfw.rules'.
This is a plain text file that contains *only* firewall rules.
No shell commands. You can use `#' for comments (as shown in the
sample file below):
% cat /etc/ipfw.rules
flush
add allow ip from any to any
Then you just need to make sure that your `rc.conf' contains the
following two lines:
firewall_enable=YES
firewall_type=/etc/ipfw.rules
The firewall_type value is the *FULL* path to the ruleset file. It
is important to include the leading `/' character. This way,
ipfw(8) will know that this is the path of a rule file and not the
name of a command (like `add' in `ipfw add ...').
This is the way I usually prefer setting ipfw(8) up. For various
reasons. One of them is that my firewall rules are not lost in
between the lines of some shell script that I don't remember I have
edited. Another reason is that having made no changes to the
original `rc.firewall' script, there is no need to take care for
merging changes later with mergemaster(8).
Phew. This was long.

Re: vinum: low level access to subdisks / drives
On Wednesday, 5 March 2003 at 19:33:04 +0100, Alexander Haderer wrote: Hello, Here is a vinum question. It was sent as a followup of a question about installation problems. That causes problems with threading. Assume this setup: Two partitions ad0s1e and ad2s1e of type vinum with the same size. vinum is set up to use this disks as RAID 1 (mirror): ... Everything is working without problem. Because we do not rely on the harddisks and the files at /mirr are accessed seldom and random, we want to check, if all sectors of the disks ad0 and ad2 are readable without problem. To do so, we want to run a nightly low priority cron job that tries to read all sectors of a disk without further analyzing the data read. The result of a failed read (hard disk failure) will be a kernel message in /var/log/messages, which we monitor 24x7 a day. Lets say we do dd for reading the sectors: dd if=/dev/ad0s1 of=/dev/zero bs=1024k Questions: 1. Will this conflict with vinum or its internal (kernel) data structures when vinum is running the same time with all components of the RAID 'up'? No. Writing would be a very different story, of course. 2. Will this conflict with parallel read/write access to /mirr ? No. 3. Should we use dd if=/dev/vinum/sd/mirr.p0.s0 ... instead of /dev/ad0s1e ? You could. That would also find any problems in the subdisk itself, but not with the rest.

ZYNX ZX346 - 4 Port PCI Ethernet card
Greetings, I'm making a couple small pc routers using ZYNX ZX346 - 4 Port PCI Ethernet cards in small Compaq deskpro systems (one pci slot). I'm using 4.8RC1 with polling enabled at the moment, but it does not matter if it's on or off. What the problem is is that everything is fine until the card is initialized by the kernel and then all 4 activity lights just start to flash. According to the driver it is a supported chipset /usr/src/sys/pci/if_de.c supports the 21140, everything i have read seems to support it, but what happens is that all 4 activity lights just blink and i have tested this on two identical machines with idential results. Anyone else have this problem with these cards? Getting a little frustrated at this point. Oh and what also is weird is that iget a de0-3 autosense failed: cable problem? error and the after a while i loose the interfaces all together with a broken message that i forgot to write down. (BTW i have tested this with 4 idential cards on two completely different machines with 4.8RC1 polling turned on and off) -- Chris Demers [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.govital.net www.govitalhosting.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
