Re:. [drm] failed to load kernel module "i830"

[Geoff Glasson]

Jacques,

I am not aware of a completed i810 or i830 port.  I am trying to port the i810 
kernel module to FreeBSD, but have gone as far as I can with my limited 
knowledge of the FreeBSD kernel and the i810 hardware.  I am investigating 
how the kernel probes devices in an effort to get it to recognise the i810 
graphics hardware correctly - it would appear that the AGP code "monopolises" 
the i810 graphics hardware preventing the DRM kernel module from seeing it.

I assume that the i830 port will suffer from a similar problem.

Regards...Geoff

help me

["shura shev"]

 Please hel me.
 I bought Digi ClassicBoard PCI on 4 ports. I couldn't install it. My computer - 
Pentium 150, 16 mb memory, 1Gb HDD. The only OS I was able to install on my computer 
was FreeBSD 4.8 Unix. I could not install Linux Red Hat. 
 When system loads without specifying card in a kernel, it gives message:
pci0:  (vendor=0x114f, dev=0x0028) at 10.0 irq 11
In FreeBSD there is a file pucdata.c - a universal driver for PCI card. This is a 
structure that has to be included in this file:
  {   "Digi 114f",
   {   0x114f, 0x0028, 0,  0   },
   {   0x, 0x, 0,  0,  },
   {
   { PUC_PORT_TYPE_COM, 0x18, 0x00, COM_FREQ * 8 },
   { PUC_PORT_TYPE_COM, 0x18, 0x08, COM_FREQ * 8 },
   { PUC_PORT_TYPE_COM, 0x18, 0x10, COM_FREQ * 8 },
   { PUC_PORT_TYPE_COM, 0x18, 0x18, COM_FREQ * 8 },
   },
   }
The structure is similar to others, except 'vendor=0x114f,dev=0x0028'.
But I don't know which ports to specify. After configuring and recompiling kernel for 
this card, when loading system gives message:
  puc0:  port 0x6400-0x64ff,0x6300-0x637f mem 0xe0002000-
  0xe00020ff,0xe0001000-0xe000107f irq 11 at device 10.0 on pci0
  sio2: configured irq 11 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
  sio2: type 16550A
  sio3: configured irq 11 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
  sio3: type 16550A
  sio4: configured irq 11 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
  sio4: type 16550A
  sio5: configured irq 11 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
  sio5: type 16550A
So system sees this card and adds com-ports ( sio2-sio5), but it's not possible to 
work with modem through these com-ports. They are very slow. There is an evident 
conflict with input/output ports.
Where is docs on file pucdata.c?
 Best regards.
Shevcov Aleksandr.

Well, *when* is the above rule added? Is DNS up and working then? You 
know you can't make DNS queries until after the ipfw rules allowing DNS 
have been applied?

If your machine is power.bar.com and if you have more than one interface 
you don't care if 200.88.34.12 could connect on any interface then the 
following is a better rule where 1234 is some position in your ruleset:

ipfw add 1234 allow tcp from 200.88.34.12 to me 22 setup

For "setup" to work you need an rule (usually early to minimize 
processing overhead) like this:

ipfw add 400 allow tcp from any to any established

Plenty. Can you ssh from anywhere else to your machine? Can you ssh from 
that machine to itself? In other words, "Is sshd running?"

You didn't list an ipfw rule number in your above example. So where is 
it inserting in the ruleset? Very likely its after a "deny" rule which 
otherwise blocked the connection. Believe ipfw inserts unnumbered rules 
100 beyond the last rule entered, so the above probably landed after 
any deny rule. The first rule to hit ends ipfw processing of the packet 
(except for divert).

For quick ipfw debugging, "ipfw zero" to clear the hit counts. Try the 
failed ssh attempt, then "ipfw -a list" and see which rules got hits. 
If you suspect a deny rule is blocking the connection then insert a new 
copy of that deny rule just prior and with the "log" modifier. Repeat. 
And look at /var/log/security for additional details. And speaking to 
posterity and the list, you already know that you can simply type the 
rule at the keyboard, don't have to modify your firewall script file 
until you want the change made permanent, don't have to reboot.

Stylistically I'd recommend your rule(s) include the "setup" modifier, 
and earlier you have a "pass all established" rule. This is the way its 
done in the /etc/rc.firewall example. With "setup" and "log" you get 
only one hit in /var/log/security when the connection is made. Without 
setup you get an entry for each and every packet until your VERBOSE 
limit is hit (I think, as I don't use the verbose limiter).

Re: vt/ansi codes

[abc]

http://www.freebsd.org/mailto.html

   Questions regarding FreeBSD should be addressed to the FreeBSD
   Questions mailing list, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

   Mailing lists are the primary support channel for FreeBSD users, with
   numerous mailing lists covering different topic areas. Several
   non-English mailing lists are also available.

the basis for this question was to determine if it was
feasible to write a portable FBSD application and/or library
without external dependencies.  it is understood what "ncurses"
and "SLang" are for - and initially ANSI escape sequences seemed
to provide a way to break through the burdens and complications
of ncurses and termcap entries.  and in learning a bit about
terminal I/O, "questions regarding FreeBSD" came to mind.
--
the way things are, based on pcvt(4) and xterm(1),
is that FreeBSD (and XFree86) implements vt220 (and vt102)
"emulation" as the main terminal I/O driver.  i fail to see the
intelligence of implementing terminal drivers that are based
upon 25 year old antiquated commercial terminals and their
associated proprietary and "deficient" command sets, thereby
forcing the use of special library dependencies containing
various optimization hacks to work around such deficiencies.

wouldn't it be much more intelligent/efficient/effective
to implement non-commercial "universal" escape sequence standards
that are more functional (such as 1979 ANSI 3.64) thereby eliminating
the need for special library dependencies with regard to terminal I/O apps;
reserving such library dependency usage for terminals that need
such hacks due to their proprietary/limited command sets?

i mean - why "dumb down" FBSD on a PC to the level of a
antiquated proprietary terminal command set, and ineffectively
force the use of oft broken inefficient hacks in library dependencies
to make up for the deficiencies?

why not "smarten" FBSD (and XFree86/xterm) terminal I/O to use more
"universal" escape sequence standards that take better advantage of
PC capabilities, and relegate usage of ncurses/termcap and the like
to those programs requiring specialized hacks to run on proprietary
hardware/terminals?

why not shift the focus of terminal I/O to better suited "universal"
standards, instead of a 25 year old proprietary and limited command sets.
i think this would result in much greater all-around productivity.

VPN remote access server (continue)

[Tkachenko, Artem N]

Hi,

I have the fallowing picture:

Node1 --Internet--Node2---LAN using IP

Node1:
Win2K
VPN connection using PPTP
IP (public) = 129.197.23.232

Node2: 
FreeBSD
VPN server (using MPD)
IP (public) = 129.197.244.6
IP (privet) = 10.77.5.2

LAN:
10.77.5/24

I set up a PPTP VPN connection between Node1 and Node2. Node1 gets privet IP
address 10.77.5.50. When I try to ping some computer on the LAN (not Node2)
with IP address 10.77.5.1 I know that computer gets the ping but does not
know how to get back to Node1. It might be a problem with the ARP because I
get an ARP error ([pptp1] no interface to proxy arp on for 10.77.5.50) when
I start MPD. I am not sure about this. And I don't know how to resolve this
problem. 
I have no control of 10.77.5/24 computers (except Node2) but I want those
computers to see Node1 when it connects trough Node2. How can I make
10.77.5/24 computers to send packets to Node2 when they want to send it to
Node1? Thank you very much for your help. Best regards

Artem Tkachenko

None of these "ServerFlags" are mentioned in my XF86Config file.  Is the
blanking, standing by and suspending controlled by the "ati" driver in my

into the X server binary??

Are you allowing ip OUT from 200.88.54.93?

Please post output of "ipfw show" (not that it's
not implicit, I guess...) and describe your network
topography.

FWIW, here's my top few rules:

00010 allow ip from my.ip.ad.dres to any out
00020 deny log logamount 20 ip from any to any out
00030  allow tcp from any to any established
00040  allow ip from any to any frag
00050  allow tcp from any to my.ip.ad.res setup

You could either modify your scripts to use nice, or start a new shell
with an appropriate nice level. All the processes you launch from that
shell will inherit the nice level of that shell:

Compiling

[Ronny Hippler]

Hello,
I am having a problem compiling several programs. I keep getting the 
error can't find expat, but I have it installed. pkg_info lists it and if I look in 
/usr/local/include there is an expat.h file what am I missing? I am trying to 
compile fontconfig 2.2.1, also while trying to compile  xmule 1.5.2 I get the 
error:

make: can not allocate memory 
Error code 1

Any ideas what could be causing this? I have 500megs ram and plenty of swap.

TIA

Losing header in postscript document

[Steven Friedrich]

I'm trying to print a copy of cvsbook.ps using KGhostView.  Originally, my 
ghostview config was using -sDEVICE=x11, but I've also tried -sDEVICE=cdj550, 
because I have an HP560C.

I'm also using CUPS and had quite a time getting it configured, but it does 
print.

I try to print just page 6, because the headers are not being printed, and 
I've already killed to many trees...

From KGhostView's print dialog, I expand it so I can select only the current 
page, and I enable print preview.

The page looks good. The header is about a half inch from the top, and the 
first line is about an inch down.  Setting margins seems to have no effect.

When the document actually prints, the header is missing and the line that was 
at one inch is at a half inch.  I think the header may have been cut off by 
the printer because it can't print with something like .33 of an inch from 
the top.

Why aren't the margins being used?  Why doesn't a .ps file just appear on 
paper as it does on the screen?

Is there something else I need to install or configure?

setting up ipfw

[Jamie]

   I am having a very difficult time setting up ipfw on a 4.8
installation. Was wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light on
this.

   I followed the directions in the handbook, and I compiled a new kernel
with these options, ( am going for a deny all by default, open services
as necessary philosophy):

options IPFIREWALL
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=10



   Upon rebooting, I was unable to access the machine from anywhere, which
is fine, because I have console access.

   Output of ifconfig -a looks like this:

 ifconfig -a
fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500
inet 200.88.54.93 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 200.88.54.255
inet6 fe80::203:47ff:fe77:8169%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

ppp0: flags=8010 mtu 1500
sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552
faith0: flags=8002 mtu 1500

   the name of the machine is power.bar.com


   I want to ssh in from another machine: foo.bar.com with IP address
200.88.34.12.



  This is the rule I am adding:


ipfw add allow tcp from 200.88.34.12 to power.bar.com 22


   It tells me it can't resolve power.bar.com!

So, I try:

ipfw add allow tcp from 200.88.34.12 to 200.88.54.93 22

   It accepts the rule, but I still cannot connect from foo.bar.com.

   Anyone have any ideas?

Please see

The maxproc directive should do what you desire.

Diskless Operation Question

[Benjamin Polidore]

I have a dedicated FreeBSD 5.1 server, and I am experimenting with a WinXP / 
diskless-FreeBSD dual boot workstation.

I have followed the instructions in the handbook and I get to a point that 
makes me think I have done somthing wrong with my diskless kernel.  

The workstation boots with an etherboot floppy, finds the dhcp server and 
downloads the kernel from NFS.  It seems to contemplate loading the kernel for 
about 5 seconds then reboots.  

I have seen postings in the archives about recompiling the kernel with the 
proper CPUTYPE in /etc/make.conf.

I have tried this and it makes no difference.

The only thing I have been considering is that I have a bunch of modules that 
were compiled & installed w/o CPUTYPE=p3, as they were imported with 
clone_root.

So the only solution I can think of is to recompile/install these modules with 
the proper CPUTYPE, but I'm not sure how to have make installkernel put the 
modules / kernel in /misc/diskless/boot instead of /boot?

I won't need to do this with userland, will I?  This would make diskless 
operation impossible for my situation.

Below is a more detailed breakdown of what I am trying to do and some pieces 
of my config files.

After you have downloaded the ISO, run an MD5 on it and then compare it
to the number in the file of md5-s in the directory from whence
you downloaded it.

Yes and no.  i386 addresses are indeed 32 bits which means that a
process can only address 4GB worth of memory.  On the Pentium Pro and
later x86 CPUs there some special tricks that can be used to have a
physical address space of 36 bits (64 GB memory), even though a single
process still only can use 4 GB.
FreeBSD 4.x and earlier does not have any support for those tricks so
it cannot use more than 4 GB of RAM.
FreeBSD 5.1 and later does have support for PAE (Physical Address
Extension) so it can handle up to 64 GB RAM (while a single process
is still constrained to a 32-bit address space.)

I believe there is currently a 4 GByte limit to usable RAM, but I also 
believe I saw that it is planned to go up to something like 64 GB in a 
near future version.

Someone out there will know more specifically, I am sure.

But makes it much harder to setup procmail filters and manage mailboxes on
accounts.  I tried cyrus-imap for a year or two and then backed it out and
started to use uw-imapd (bad coding standards and all) because cyrus was

ssh keepalives

[Philip J. Koenig]

I'm having a problem with premature termination of ssh sessions after 
an idle period of a few minutes, getting a "connection reset by peer" 
message.  I presume this is due to intermediate stateful firewalls 
closing the connection when no traffic passes for a period of time.

In the past I've addressed this issue when I have control of the 
destination host, by including the following parameters in 
sshd_config:

ClientAliveInterval 30
ClientAliveCountMax 4


However in this case I don't have control over the destination.  It's 
a self-contained network device.

man 5 ssh_conf says that "KeepAlive" is the default with ssh.  Is 
there any other tactic I can use to keep these connections from 
closing after a few minutes of inactivity?

Currently on FreeBSD 4.8-stable with OpenSSH_3.5p1

AFAIK, on i386 the maximum addressable memory space is 4096 MB.
Here's why:
C pointer = 4 bytes = maximum value 4294967296

did you try a hard power reset after this message?  I have an old

Well, not exactly. I'll give it a try. I *did* try just hitting the reset 
button and that didn't make any change. I also turned off the power, 
removed the hard drive, took it back to its original box, booted up, 
recompiled the kernel, brought it back to the new(er) box and plugged it 
back in, and powered up. I also tried booting up with floppies (succeeded) 
and tried running 'fdisk -B ad0' to try to replace the MBR, but that had no 
effect. I've tried it on a third, even older box, which I'm running FreeBSD 
on, and it wouldn't boot up there either -- same error.

4GB RAM limit?

[george donnelly]

hi

I've got a 4.7 freebsd machine and after upgrading from 4 to 6GB of RAM, top
does not recogmize the other 2 GB (only shows 4) and actually there was a
message that said "ignoring 2 GB".

Can anyone shed light on this or suggest where i can look to understand
this?

tia

Re: Stand-a-lone NAT PGM

[Matthew Emmerton]

I'm saying that the functionality you want already exists -- in a low-level
library called libalias(3), or with a cleaner front-end called natd(8).

What you're failing to understand is that NATD cannot run "standalone' -- 
you have to have hook it into the TCP/IP stack somehow.

For ppp(8) this is easy, since ppp is already "hooked" into your system's
TCP/IP stack, and can easily run the packets through libalias(3) to achieve
NAT functionality.

For "standard" ethernet applications, a common approach is to use ipfw(8)
with a single "divert" rule which redirects all TCP/IP traffic from the
TCP/IP stack, through the natd(8) front-end to libalias(3), and then back
into the TCP/IP stack.

The overhead of ipfw with a single "divert" rule is very low.  The overhead
of IPFITLER/IPNAT is even lower.

I'm not sure exactly what performance problem you're trying to overcome.

The reason you can't find a NAT program in the ports collection is
because
such a program exists in the base system.
natd(8) is a front-end to the libalias(3) library, which implements
generic
packet aliasing and masqerading functions (aka NAT).

Both ppp(8) and natd(8) use the libalias(3) library for NAT
functionality.

While the machine is a little much just for 10 users, think of

Hi all,

I'm trying to setup a freebsd 4.8 server with openldap for 
authentication. I installed pam  from the ports tree, and verified 
/etc/pam.conf does exist.

How does freebsd know when to use pam

1000% overkill for only 10 users.  As an example, I (still) have a
66MHz 486 with 48MB RAM and a single 2GB SCSI drive handling over 300
users with sendmail and cyrus-imapd.  Focus on reliability foremost,
so mirror those two SCSI drives you have.  The Proliant 1850R doesn't
offer the ability to use redundant memory, but it at least does ECC.
You'll also have an extra processor already there if one happens to go

Consider cyrus-imapd2 or cyrus-imapd22 instead of courier-imap.  Very
reliable, very fast, and offers you the ability to create a "black
box" mail appliance that does not require the use of local user
accounts, if you wish to go that route.

Re: Using a RAID-card with FreeBSD

[David Landgren]

Johan Paul wrote:

Hi all,

This might be kind of a newbie question - I apologize for that.

This is my first time I use a hardware RAID card on a server. I was 
wondering if there are any issues with FreeBSD (4.8R) regarding these 
cards? Will FreeBSD see the RAID1 as a single hard drive that I just 
need to partition and label? And if I need to replace a failed hard 
Yes, it just sees a single ordinary drive.

drive in the RAID array I assume the card will do the rebuilding of the 
array while FreeBSD will function as normal even when I need to reboot 
the machine?
Yes, the RAIDing is completely transparent to the OS. You don't even 
have to reboot the machine if the disks are hot-swappable. Just pull the 
dead one out, install the new one, and the controller will bring it up 
to speed. RAID-1 is much faster to rebuild than RAID-5 (just a casual 
observation; I'm not sure if that's a hard-and-fast rule).

I checked that the card I intended to use (Promise FastTrak TX2) is 
supported by FreeBSD so I don't assume any problems installing FreeBSD 
either.

Thanks for any answers :-)
you're welcome.

UNIX is designed not to rely on one single terminal type.  IMO,
tailoring writing your application so it can only run on vt100
terminals (or ansi terminals, if you had your wish) is misguided..use
one of the character display libraries that handle all the internal
details in a terminal-independent way.

Limiting an account to FTP only

[Nick Wilson]

Hi

I am wanting to limit an account to FTP only, for uploading web pages to a
server.  I have ftpchroot'ed the account to limit access to the directories
I want to - is there any way of disabling all other access
(SSH/telnet/rlogin/SMTP auth etc).  I thought about removing the shell type
from the user account but believe ftpd needs a shell to be specified to
validate the logon.

Many thanks,

You forgot to mention which version of FreeBSD you're trying to run.

You also didn't mention details of the "large" hard drive.  Some old
BIOSes cannot handle booting from large hard drives (typically > 8
GB).

Run sshd with the -u 15 option.  You can do so by adding this line to
/etc/rc.conf:
sshd_flags="-u 15"

What you need is chroot(8).
Use it to 'chroot' the user in to their own home directory.
Don't forget to put a copy of their shell and other things they
need within the directory where they are chrooted.

If chroot is not rigorous enough, check out jail(8).

- you could use bash -r (restricted bash)
- or chroot(8), on google i found the following article:
  http://www.tjw.org/chroot-login-HOWTO/ this how to is for linux
  but it should work on freebsd to.
- if you just want to restrict access to other users home
  dir's, creating a group per user and chmod 750 the users home
  dir should be sufficient.

If this is a DOS format floppy, then here's a tip: don't bother trying
to mount and unmount the floppy all the time.  Instead, install the
emulators/mtools port.  This gives you a whole bunch of MS-DOS style
commands, except with an 'm' prepended to the name, which let you
access the floppy drive but without having to mount it first. Eg. you
can do:

% mdir a:

If you are using a non-DOS floppy or you really need to mount the
floppy for some other reason, then you're going to have to tell
mount(8) all of the information it needs.  There's two ways to do
that: either on the mount(8) command line, or by making an entry in
/etc/fstab.  Eg. to mount a read-only floppy with a msdos filesystem
on it as /mnt:

# mount -t msdos -o ro /dev/fd0 /mnt

Note that:

a) you usually have to have superuser privilege to run mount(8) or
umount(8).  You can either install the sudo(8) port and generate the
appropriate configuration there, or you can set the vfs.usermount
sysctl to a non-zero value.  See mount(2), sysctl(8) for details, but
note that setting vfs.usermount potentially opens up a nasty security
hole, so you should understand exactly what you are doing if you
decide to do that.

b) You have to remember to unmount the floppy before you eject it from
the drive.  Not doing that has undesirable effects.  Similarly, if the
floppy has the write protect tab set, you have to tell the system to
mount it read-only.  Unfortunately, the system can't actually detect
that the disk is write protected automatically.  Even worse, if you
mount a unix format RO floppy using RW flags, even if you do nothing
more than read files from the disk, the system will hang when you try
and unmount the disk because the system will try and update the 'last
mounted on' entry on the disk.  (Solution is to pop the floppy out,
toggle the write protect tab and put the disk back smartly so the
write can complete).  Oh -- editing files on such a disk will
apparently work because the system will hold the whole 1.44Mb disk
image in cache.  Changes will be flushed to disk eventually, or when
you try and unmount it.

Cheers,

Matthew

Try
# mount -t msdos -o rw /dev/fd0 /mnt
That's a bit much to type, and constant su-ing is a pain in the tuchis, 
so I use a bash alias.
alias monterfd='sudo mount -t msdos -o rw /dev/fd0 /mnt'
I type
$ monterfd
and my password, and the fd is mounted.

Run sshd with the -u 15 option.  You can do so by adding this line to

That banner is shown before authentication, which is not what Paul is

Throttled ethernet connection

[Moriarty]

Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD 4.8-Stable with ipfw, dummynet and ipsec enabled in the
kernel but bypassed via config/not being used for the moment. I'm using this
machine as a router between my local network and a WAN, with a 3com905c-tx
ethernet card and an Avaya 802.11b wifi card.

I've just built this machine over the past two or three days and have
encountered a problem with the ethernet side of the network. When i upload
or download from the machine with proftpd or apache over the ethernet
network (100mbit switched) im being limited to 50K/sec or less. If i start
two ftp downloads or have an ftp and httpd download going, the 50K/sec is
divided between the two connections, slowing both to about 25K/sec. I can
transfer fine over the 802.11b network card, with no throttling appearing
(upload/download rates of ~ 500K/sec). I can ftp over the WAN - through this
router machine - and download or upload from the WAN at a fine speed with no
apparent throttling appearing (again ~500K/sec achieved), which rules out
damage to the cabling etc.

Im completly stumped as to whats causing this, any help would be
appreciated.


Thanks,
Aidan

USB mouse/keyboard causes kernel panic during boot sequence

[Michael E. Mercer]

Hello peoples,

I have posted this before and unfortunately I still have this problem.
During the boot sequence, when it probes for the USB devices, it causes
a kernel panic (page fault) if there is either (or both) a USB mouse
and/or keyboard attached.

If I remove the mouse and keyboard and let it boot up, then connect
them, they work just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Michael Mercer

I've checked this out briefly and it's geared more towards static

this does (assuming I have control over each and every DHCP server... :)

It is.  And Diamond seems to have changed chipsets on it while keeping

Using a RAID-card with FreeBSD

[Johan Paul]

Hi all,

This might be kind of a newbie question - I apologize for that.

This is my first time I use a hardware RAID card on a server. I was 
wondering if there are any issues with FreeBSD (4.8R) regarding these 
cards? Will FreeBSD see the RAID1 as a single hard drive that I just 
need to partition and label? And if I need to replace a failed hard 
drive in the RAID array I assume the card will do the rebuilding of the 
array while FreeBSD will function as normal even when I need to reboot 
the machine?

I checked that the card I intended to use (Promise FastTrak TX2) is 
supported by FreeBSD so I don't assume any problems installing FreeBSD 
either.

Thanks for any answers :-)

FreeBSD 5.1 on ASUS P4C800 (onboard NIC problems, 3Com 3C940)

[Gab]

Hello,

I successfully installed FreeBSD 5.1 on my ASUS P4C800 motherboard. The
only remaining problem is that sysinstall did not find any ethernet
device during the installation. The onboard NIC is a 3Com 3C940.

What should I exactly do in order to make the system detect this 3Com
3C940 ethernet device and make it work properly?

Many thanks for your help.

That's a good idea I didn't think off :)  I messed with amd(8) once
before and ran into trouble.  I can see in this case it would be ideal,
and shall have a go at getting it to play nicely.

Yes, I had looked at this.  However, I was meaning trying to have a
solution where a different set of firewall rules would be started based
on the assigned IP address.

Yeah, I think I can see that this might even be a good place to
start/stop (stop if required, I haven't read amd(8) yet) amd from.
Also, I can set my symlinks in case the reason is not one of yours
listed.

I use start_if.ep0 to set the media for my network card.  Does this get
re sourced after dhclient has done it's magic?  I was under the
assumption that it got executed /before/ dhclient, and would therefore
be of little use to set variables based on the output of dhclient... ?

  Many thanks!  You've given me some excellent ideas.  I'll tell you how
I fare.

It doesn't really matter what standards might be defined;
the important issue is what functions commonly available
terminals and terminal emulations have.

There are an enormous variety of terminals and terminal 
emulations which have very little in the way of a common 
subset of functions. If you must use one common subset
then you had best stick to VT100, I guess that will get you 
into between 1/3 and 2/3 of the terminals and emulations 
out there.

Unix and same other OS have dealt with the problem 
by using databases of terminal information - termcap 
and/or terminfo - so that terminals with different control 
sequences can be managed by the same software and 
the software doesn't  need prior knowledge of the specific 
control codes.

In 1979 to send a full screen of say 2000 characters 
took perhaps 1 to 5 minutes, now in a similar situation we
commonly send that in 20 to 100 milliseconds so the 
problem of dealing with different standards is largely 
circumvented by using less in the way
of fancy functions and instead just redrawing the screen.

Now-a-days graphic displays generally get more attention
(not that I think this is necessarily good) and means of updating 
these with respect to the available bandwidth is receiving 
considerable attention.

Just FYI, I admin a few servers with SCSI/160 drivers in software RAID
setups (using mirroring exclusively so performance isn't an issue).
Hotswapping drives is a piece of cake.  I have a standard RAID configuration
file, so replacing a drive is as simple as:

  1) Shutting down the drive inside the RAID
  2) Using atacontrol to stop the drive
  3) Swapping it out with a new one
  4) Using atacontrol to rescan the bus
  5) Fdisk and disklabel the drive
  6) Typing "vinum create /etc/raidconfig" to layout the drive
  7) Typing "vinum start " to sync the data

If I had to do it more than once a year or so, I'd probably throw it all
into a script with "Press any key to continue" prompts.

Hi everybody,

I've been searching and asking at irc channels but no answer was found

Howdie,

We are running 4.8-Stable on 2650's and are very happy.
Replacement disks for failed drives are automatically configured and added to
whatever raid you are running.

Dell Perc3 raid cards

[Matthew Bettinger]

Hello,

 We are looking for a dell box to run a small (MySQL) database on and 
was curious as to how well the raid card support is in these newer 
machines.  A box that would meet our needs would be something along the 
lines of a power edge 1650.  These come with  PERC3-DI,128MB Battery 
Backed Cache RAID cards.  Does anyone have an experience using these 
cards with bsd and,  actually replacing a disk (raid 5) using the raid 
utilis that come with the 4.8 branch of BSD ?

Regards,

You're probably out of descriptors; check the max number with:

sysctl kern.maxfiles

The number can be enlarged by entering:

sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=somelargernumber

To make this change permanent, insert

kern.maxfiles=somelargernumber

in /etc/sysctl.conf.

rmonitor from /usr/ports/sysutils/rmonitor is able to log utilization of
file descriptors and may help to analyze what happens.

Error messages in dmesg

[Mike Doyle]

Hi

I have some messages appearing in my dmesg output and in the security log
that concerns me:
> liffey.cooperationireland.org kernel log messages:
> > ile: table is full
> > file: table is full
> > file: table is full
> > file: table is full
Any clues as to what might cause this ? Does it mean I've run out of inodes or
of file descriptors ? How do I pin down the offending application.
The server in question has only two roles - it acts as our mail server and
also as a Squid web proxy. The errors mostly seem to have occurred late at
night so it was most likely mail related rather than web-proxy related.
Thanks

	Mike

You can get most of this functionality with some clever scripting.

I don't know about the nic, but I've had extremely good luck with the
Dell RAID Cards on Linux. Usually once a driver comes out for a dell
card on Linux, it's ported to BSD shortly afterward (aacraid for
example).

It makes perfect sense if you want better uptimes, less hassle, and a
better performing OS.
