cron executes entries twice
Hi All, For quite some time now my system has been executing all entries in the crontab twice, instead of the expected once. This happens most obviously for the periodic scripts, but also on some scripts that I added for nightly, weekly, or runs at reboot. This started not long after a buildworld upgrade from one 4.x to another 4.x. Which upgrade, I don't recall unfortunately. The executions of the scripts appear to occur within minutes of each other, if not seconds. I checked /var/cron/tabs/root, and all entries are in there only once. Cron is also only running as a single process. The system is running 4.8-RC. Any thoughts of where to look and what to look for?

dhclient is trying to send a packet to my ISP's DHCP server,

my firewall is doing the blocking, and my ignorance is

if my assumptions are correct, or correct them?
You're doing fine.
The firewall is ipfw with the SIMPLE option. The modifications
to the firewall script for DHCP were
# Accept bootps (dhcp):
${fwcmd} add allow udp from ${oip}/32 68 to 0.0.0.0/0 67 out
${fwcmd} add allow udp from 0.0.0.0/0 67 to ${oip}/32 68 in
That doesn't make any sense. How about:
${fwcmd} add allow udp from any to any bootps keep-state out via ${oif}
You don't have an IP address yet, so you can't put an IP address into
the rule, and the all-zeros address would be what *your* machine is
using. You don't know the address of the server, so you have to leave
that unspecified.

Is generally the preferred approach to use different files for different rules, rather than keep sets in /etc/rc.firewall? I usually keep a bunch of ipfw rulesets around in files named /etc/ipfw. or /etc/ipf. and then set my firewall_type= (or ipfilter_rules= to the full path (it *is* important to use the full path, at least for ipfw rulesets) when switching among them: # ipfw -q /etc/ipfw.open # ipfw -q /etc/ipfw.paranoid And if so, how do you set this up in /etc/rc.conf, since the firewall type by default looks at rc.firewall... There is a post I made in -questions a while ago that explains all this in a bit of detail. Look at the archives, please.. Right now my ISP is having serious problems and I can't reach google.com at all, but look at groups.google.com for something like this: author:keramidas group:*freebsd* ipfw firewall_type and you shouldn't have trouble spotting the correct post. Using the same approach as writing a script to carry out the sh /etc/rc.firewall command. You could either have different scripts to pass the firewall_type variable and then do the firewall rules e.g.: open-firewall.sh: --- #!/bin/sh FIREWALL_TYPE=OPEN sh /etc/rc.firewall --- Nope, that will probably not work... Capitalization does matter. It's firewall_type in all lowercase. Not FIREWALL_TYPE. But then, even if you get the capitalization right, rc.firewall will load rc.conf and override this value from the environment the script runs. I'm really not a shell scripting person (networking is my area), so I can't say this will definitely work but... kind of sounds right. Perhaps someone with more shell scripting experise can comment. It'll work fine if rc.conf doesn't override firewall_type :-) Let me know how you get on. Wouldn't mind knowing for sure what's the correct approach. I tried to outline all possible ways of loading rules with the rc.firewall script, without it, manually or whatever in the post mentioned above. Just search the archives.

Before installing FreeBSD, this PC was successfully running Mandrake Linux 9.0, but this Linux distro is gone now. The BIOS settings are untouched (but how relevant are the BIOS settings to the no-boot-from-harddisk after FreeBSD installation?). The floppies kern.flp / mfsroot.flp boot like a charm, and this is how my FreeBSD installation proceeds: sysinstall Main Menu: Standard Begin a standard installation (recommended) FDISK Partition Editor (with A = Use Entire Disk): DISK Geometry: 21858 cyls/34 heads/54 sectors = 40131288 sectors (19595MB) Offset Size(ST) End Name PType Desc SubtypeFlags 0 54 53- 6 unused0 54 40131234 40131287ad0s1 3freebsd 165C Install Boot Manager for drive ad0: BootMgr Install the FreeBSD Boot Manager FreeBSD Disklabel Editor (with A = Auto Defaults): Disk: ad0 Partition name: ad0s1 Free: 0 blocks (0MB) Part Mount Size Newfs - - ad0s1a/ 128MB UFS Y ad0s1bswap 368MB SWAP ad0s1e/var 256MB UFS+S Y ad0s1f/tmp 256MB UFS+S Y ad0s1g/usr18586MB UFS+S Y Choose Distributions: User Average user - binaries and doc only (No to ports collection install) Choose Installation Media: FTP Install from an FTP server (- ftp.kr.freebsd.org) Network interface information required: rl0 RealTek 8129/8139 PCI ethernet card [Network card configured properly installation proceeds via ftp] Message: Congratulations!

Try 'crontab -l' as root and any other possible users to see if they have a crontab that is similar to the /etc/crontab Just a thought..

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 just wanted to let you all know that I succesfully installed FreeBSD 4.8R with Promise FastTrak TX2 on a RAID1 using two IDE drives. Works like a charm all the way from installation! FreeBSD sees the RAID1 arrays as ar0 and tells me that the two disks are 'READY' :) It's so nice to know that it actually works and one can be much more safe now than with software RAID... And the card wasn't even expensive. I just have to say that I had my doubts in the beginning, but luckely they were in vain! i have usccessfully used various adaptec raid cards on freebsd, but i like the 3200s the most. Additionally, adaptec supports freebsd with their utilities on their website which you can download. However, they only work on the 4.x series of freebsd, not the 5.x series. So if you use an adaptec raid card, you will be able to muck with tthe rid without having to reboot the machien and go through the BIOS stuff. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
