System hack ?!

[Peter Rosa]

Greetings to every FreeBSD fan.

Is anybody out there who can help me with this problem ?

I have FreeBSD 4.3 acting as a gateway to I-net and mailserver. In /etc/periodic are 
standard scripts, which send statistics to roots's mail every morning. Dated from 
April 24, 2003, 04:03 AM (standard time, when these scripts are running) there ara 
comming lines as follows:

Checking for passwordless accounts:
[: 0: unexpected operator

The bad one is only the second line (unexpected operator), because till April 19 all 
worked well.


Can you tell me, why it started from April 20, and what goes wrong ? I think, it is an 
error of awk or sed, but I checked their access/modified dates, and they seem to be 
the same as the rest of system. I think the hack is probably not the problem (?!?!?!). 
May be it is some automated actualisation, but I should know about it, don't I ?

Please help if you can.

ng_one2many and switches

[Tillman]

Howdy,

I'd like to confirm my understanding of how ng_one2many works: Using a
setup like http://bsdvault.net/sections.php?op=printpage&artid=98), I
think that:

* with an unmanaged switch I'll be able to effectively double the
  outgoing bandwidth on a given server, though my incoming bandwidth
  will remain at 100Mbit
* with a managed switch that supports link aggregation I'll be able to
  effectively double the bandwidth in both directions
* on a hub, of course, there would be no bandwidth increase

i.e., this will be a good way to increase the performance of an NFS file
server to multiple simultaneous clients on an network with unmanaged
switches. The NFS server is currently network I/O limited - the vinum
array runs almost four times as fast as I can serve the files, according
to bonnie++ benchmarking runs.  The NFS traffic is fairly async, being
mostly reads.

Does that sound about right?

[Note: please wrap your lines]

If you don't need DOS on the laptop (or maybe you put DOS on because its a
very old slow system that wont do windows..) I suggest you put an old copy
of FreeBSD (2.2 would do) onto it.

I have an old Toshiba T5100/100 (25MHz 386DX, 4MB RAM, 120MB HD) with no
expansion slot so I cant put a network card in it. So I connect the serial
port to my gateway and use ppp to make a network connection over the
serial cable. Then, I can telnet to anywhere I want from the laptop. It
runs FreeBSD-2.0, but I've been meaning to upgrade :)  The main advantage
of this setup is the fact that FreeBSD has virtual consoles, so you can
telnet to different machines in different windows. Its a great job for an
otherwise useless piece of equipment.

For FreeBSD, HEAD (tip of the cvs tree) is -CURRENT, RELENG_M is a
-STABLE branch (i.e. RELENG_4 is FreeBSD-4-STABLE, and RELENG_3 is
FreeBSD-3-STABLE), and RELENG_M_m is a security/ciritcal branch (i.e.
RELENG_4_8 or RELENG_5_1 will only get critical fixes applied to them).

When the time comes for 4.9 to be released, RELENG_4_9 will be branched
off RELENG_4 a couple weeks before release, and then the
RELENG_4_9_0_RELEASE tag will be laid on that branch, which represents
what gets burned onto CDs.

Correct.  If you want -STABLE, you'll want the RELENG_4 branch, since
5.x has not been marked stable yet. 
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cvs-tags.html has a good summary of all
the branches and what their purpose is.  If you want a stable-ish 5.x
tree, RELENG_5_1 is probably a better choice than RELENG_5_0.  Or scan
the -current mailinglist archives, find a week where there aren't any
"-CURRENT is broken!!" threads, and checkout a copy of HEAD from that
date :)

http://www.freebsd.org/releng/ lists all the branches and their current
status (open/frozen).

In general, HEAD is okay, and if it isn't, it's usually only a single
component (say groff, or a kernel module) that's broken, and that's
fixed quickly.

Interacting with windoze machines on the local network

[Leonard Zettel]

I have a local ethernet network with:
One FreeBSD box
One Windows XP professional box
Two Windows ME boxes (one of which is the inernet firewall, using
Sygate)..

I would like to be able to access the hardware and file systems
of the windows boxes from the FreeBSD system, if for no other 
reason than expediting the task of making the FreeBSD system
my main computing resource..

Is Samba still the recommended way to do this?

Is Mickeysquish's phasing out of NETBUI going to be

Are there any other reasonable alternatives?

Try checking out the book Absolute BSD from Michael Lucas.

You can find a link to the sample Chapter regarding system performance here 
at http://www.absolutebsd.com

I've found the rest of the book to be rather good as well.  But if nothing 
else, that sample chapter alone should give you a pretty good idea of what's

forkpty and fdopen

[Andrew Barton]

I'm trying to make a program that uses forkpty(), then runs sh in the
child process, and then writes to the child using streams. But it
doesn't work! It hangs on the wait() call; apparently the child never
sees the "exit\n".

#include 
#include 
#include 

main()
{
int fd;
pid_t pid;

pid = forkpty (&fd, 0, 0, 0);
if (pid == 0) {

_exit (1);
} else if (pid == -1) {
exit (1);
} else {

F = fdopen (fd, "w");
fprintf (F, "exit\n");
fflush (F);
wait (0);

Obviously, this can be a difficult question to answer, since there are so

The FreeBSD project is in an interesting state right now.  We have two sets
of RELEASEs -- one from the -STABLE branch (4.x) and one from the -CURRENT
branch (5.x).  The reason for this is because there's been a lot of major
redesign work in 5.x and it's taking a while for it to solidify.  Hence, the
5.x releases are for convenience for those who want to help increase it's
stability by installing it on non-production (or non-critical production)
systems.

Since you're running production systems, do what the front page tells you --
install 4.8, the latest "production" release.
If you were someone just messing around with FreeBSD for the first time,
we'd tell you to install 5.1, the latest "new technology" release, since

Confusion over which version to use for a production server

[Tom Bartling]

Hi,

I am confused about which version to use for a production server. Nowhere does it say 
"this is the newest version to use for a production server", especially if the STABLE 
branch is still a development branch. I'm not sure if this is a CYA thing, or if I'm 
just not finding the right information. Obviously, this can be a difficult question to 
answer, since there are so many branches to follow. However, people who want to use 
the software (as oppossed to developing it) will need to know what the most recent 
version is that can be used for a production server. 

Several pages, as well as messages posted to newsgroups, say that there are two 
branchs, STABLE and CURRENT. Yet, there seems to be a third branch: RELEASE. Is the 
RELEASE version pre-CURRENT or post-STABLE? 

http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html#fbsd says, "If you haven't installed yet, 
look for the latest mainstream release. (See the Handbook for why you should not be 
tempted by any of the other branches.)" OK... if you follow the link, it says that the 
latest release is 5.1-RELEASE. The comment about referring to the Handbook "for why 
you should not be tempted by any of the other branches" only confuses the matter, 
since there is no link to tell me where in the Handbook I should go for this 
information. 

Here's what I did find in the Handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html

Again, this page has no mention of the RELEASE version. What makes this even more 
confusing is the FTP. The various README.TXT files indicate that a RELEASE is the 
lates Release from the STABLE or CURRENT branch, depending on the version. 

Because I have the perspective of a newbie, I don't mind writing a brief description 
for other newbies to determine which version they should use and how to get it. 
Unfortunately, I don't know how to determine any of this. Is the Latest Production 
Release shown on the right column as "Production Release: 4.8 (or whatever it is at 
the time)"? If so, why does the newbies page 
(http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html#fbsd) say to use the latest mainstream 
release, which is 5.1-RELEASE? If I do figure all of this out, please let me know if 
you want me to write something for other newbies. 

Thanks for your help,

Tom

P.S. - I've been running a web server with 4.5-STABLE for about 5 months and it's 
great, but old.

The sudoers file has a really weird syntax, but what that means is that
any user (the first ALL keyword) may run "thescript" as root on any
machine (the second ALL keyword; this allows the same file to be
replicated to multiple machines) without a password prompt (the
NOPASSWD: keyword).

That will work, too.

 Thinking about this a little more, let's think of these scripts as 
being text that is to be interpreted and specifies its interpretor somehow 
(say as the scripts do, on the first line with '#!' and then a path to the 
interpretor).  When such a file has set user-id on, the user-id of the file 
is put on its interpretor (similar action for the group-id) and then the 
interpretor is run.  This is probably just a small change in the kernel and 
should make things run smoothly.  [What module of the kernel takes care of:
  1)determining if a file (about to be invoked) has set user-id on,
  2)making the user-id of the file the effecive user-id of the process,
  3)accepting from a shell an instruction as to which shell to use to 
interpret a script file]
I may try ro do this on my own if these three questions are answered (and 
maybe some others, I notice that the source code is sparse on comments and 
directions as to what purpose structures are used, so I may not get enough 
info to do this just from these questions).

Step one: run `top' and see what process(es) are using the most CPU.  It may
be something not directly related to Sendmail.  For example, one of my
associates wrote his own bulk mail delivery program to inject a huge number
of messages into the outgoing mail (he works with an ecommerce site with a
large opt-in newsletter list).  A minor error in his code:

   if (numberOfRunningProcesses != 10) { fork(); }

instead of:

   if (numberOfRunningProcesses <= 10) { fork(); }

caused his program to occasionally flip out and large several hundred
running copies of itself (hi, Aaron!).

Trouble reading BSD formatted HD in USB hard drive... but it worksfine in Linux!

[Donald Burr of Borg]

I recently decided to move one of the drives in my main system into an
external USB 2.0 case.  This was done so that I could take this drive
between several systems (it is primarily used for backup and data
archival).

Yes, I know that 1394 (FireWire) would be faster, but not all of my
machines are capable of it.  And some of them literally do *not* have any
free PCI slots which I could insert a 1394 card into.

Like I said, the drive I installed in my USB case was already formatted as
a FreeBSD drive.  However, once I inserted it into a USB case, I am now
unable to mount the drive again.  Here are the appropriate dmesg
printouts:

umass0: Acer Labs USB 2.0 Storage Device, rev 2.00/1.03, addr 2
da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0:  Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 650KB/s transfers
da0: 76319MB (156301488 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 10783C)
da0: reading primary partition table: error reading fsbn 0
da0: reading primary partition table: error reading fsbn 0

(The "reading primary partition table" errors appear when I try the
following mount command:  mount -t ufs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/backup)

Now, here's the kicker: I took the same drive over to a friend's Linux box
(he is running Mandrake 9.1, with Linux kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk).  Linux
has had the ability, for some time now, to mount UFS partitions.  So I
figured "what the heck" and decided that I'd try mounting it on his
system.  Here is the dmesg printouts from when I plugged in the USB hard
drive to this Linux box:

hub.c: new USB device 00:11.3-1, assigned address 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x402/0x5621) is not claimed by any active driver.
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
  Vendor: USB 2.0   Model: Storage DeviceRev: 0100
  Type:   Direct-Access  ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sda: 156301488 512-byte hdwr sectors (80026 MB)
 /dev/scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1
 p1: 

Aha!  It seems that it is able to detect this disk just fine, and it does
see a BSD filesystem on it.  And sure enough, issuing the command "mount
-t ufs -o ro,ufstype=44bsd /dev/sda1 /mnt/bsd" works fine!!  I am able to
read any and all files on this drive.

I'd really like to get this sucker going under FreeBSD, but I am frankly
out of ideas and at my wit's end.  I am grateful to anyone who can offer
any assistance or hints/clues at this point.

The kernel configuration from my FreeBSD machine is available if anyone
would like to see it.  In short, I enabled all USB options in the kernel
config file, as well as the SCSI base code.

The USB case in question is a generic case labeled only "ME-320 Series
3.5"/5.25" External Enclosure."  It is available in several
configurations; mine is the single-port USB 1.1/2.0 configuration.  It
apparently uses an Acer Labs USB-to-IDE bridge chip, tho I can't tell what
the chip's part number is.

Thanks!!

That's also a possibility.  You can use cat to tell the difference
though..  Here's a "ls" shell function that knows the difference
between an empty directory and one it can't read.  Unfortunately, it
requires cat, whereas plain "echo *" is done without forking:

ls () { cat . > /dev/null && echo * ; }

Hi,

  I have HP SureStore C1557A tape device. Kernel detect my drive
  succesfully. I run

  tar -c somedir
  
  and got this errors:

(sa0:ahc0:0:0:0): WRITE FILEMARKS. CDB: 10 0 0 0 2 0
(sa0:ahc0:0:0:0): Deferred Error: MEDIUM ERROR asc:3b,0
(sa0:ahc0:0:0:0): Sequential positioning error field replaceable unit: 2

  But I has good test pages from company where I buy this drive. And for
  this tapes.

  How can I resolve this problem?

tar(1) stores permissions as well as the files themselves.  By
default, it doesn't seem (according to a quick manual check I just
did) to try to recreate those permissions when it extracts the files;
it uses the umask instead.  So make sure that the users have a
reasonable umask by default.

"echo *" in an empty directory will print "*", since /bin/sh passes

I guess it got tired of talking to me and hung up ;-)  This is too funny, 
it's still out there just crankin' out the tunes.  Reminds me of those 
stories where some rebel DJ barracaded himself in the studio and played 
Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Women 12 & 35" over and over.

FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #0, atapicam, and cdparanoia problems

cdparanoia gets stuck at the point it begins to write the first wav file.
I've rebuilt the the 4-stable branch, including the atapicam device and

I love computers, they have such a strange sense of humor.  ;-) 
 
This is what happened: 
 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:sedwards$ unset LD_PRELOADConnection to 
itsallgoodradio.net closed by remote host. 
Connection to itsallgoodradio.net closed. 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sedwards]$ ssh itsallgoodradio.net

Is there anything besides dmesg that I should check when someone gets to

Huge load average on mail server

[John Fox]

I recently became responsible for our mail server, and lately, the load
average on the thing has been running consistently high, in mid-20's to
mid-30's.  And at the same time, sendmail has become extremely sluggish
in terms of responding to connections on port 25.

There's got to be a bottleneck somewhere, but my experience leaves me
ill-equipped to seek it out.

What procedures would folks recommend for me to follow in order to try and
determine the problem?

Thank you,

john

I get the same Segmentation fault when I try to run dmesg.  I'm using the

RELENG_5_0 is the branch for people that are running 5.0 on production
systems and only want security patches.  I doubt RELENG_5_0 has many
differences from RELENG_5_0_0_RELEASE.  You probably want to track
either HEAD or RELENG_5_1, since openssh 3.6.1 got imported before
FreeBSD 5.1 was released.  Or if you want to stick with 5.0, install
the openssh port.

$ uname -r
5.1-CURRENT
$ /usr/bin/ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.6.1p1 FreeBSD-20030423, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090701f

Good point! I may have an access to Fujitsu-Siemens' servers in a very
near future. ;)

OpenSSH 3.6.1 support in RELENG_5_0?

[Darren Spruell]

Greetz,

I just updated from 5.0 release per the RELENG_5_0 tag. I had expected 
that the source tree would then contain openssh-3.6.1p but after a make 
installworld I see that it is still at 'OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20021029' 
(according to a scanssh query.)

Should I be seeing 3.6.1 or is it not in the tree?

TIA

Hi Alin,

I'm pretty sure the answer is no... The wi(4) driver supports most cards
with common 802.11b chipsets, but this device provides some nonstandard
22Mbps mode with a TI chipset that I doubt is supported in FreeBSD.
The wi(4) manpage contains a reasonable list of supported chipsets and
cards, although some of these are probably hard to find these days.
Cheers,

	Scott
 

That is true, I tested and it doesn't. Pretty hard to find the ones 
listed in hardware compatibility.

Thanks.

Fujitsu-Siemens is sometimes quite popular, and the servers are quite
reasonable.

Hard way (tested):

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use File::Find;

find sub {
-f $_ or return;
my $file = $_;
my $filebak = "${file}~";
rename $file, $filebak or die "Can't rename $file to $filebak: $!\n";
open FILEBAK, $filebak or die "Can't open $filebak: $!\n";
open FILE, ">$file" or die "Can't write to $file: $!\n";
while () {

# Replace OLD with the "search for" -- a regexp
# Replace NEW with the "replace with"
s/OLD/NEW/g;

print FILE $_;
}
}, ".";

# end replace.pl

Easy way (not tested):

find . -type f | perl -pi~ -e 's/OLD/NEW/g;'

Mozilla Thunderbird under Linux compatibility?

[David Gerard]

I'm trying to run a current Thunderbird build for Linux under compatibility. 
It's quitting with:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ ./thunderbird/thunderbird
./thunderbird/thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: 
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $

I have installed linux_base-6.1, linux_base-6.1_1 and linux_base-7.1_3. The 
last of these was enough to make Mozilla Firebird work properly ...

Anyone else gotten Thunderbird to work?

(I'd just use Mozilla 1.4 or 1.5a except that I can't run that and Firebird 
simultaneously ...)

Dead hard drive I think

[twig les]

Hey *,

A couple weeks ago I posted some error code and someone said it
was probably a dying hard drive.  I believe he was correct and
that the drive is actively getting worse (it's in a "lights-out"
center in another state so I wish I could poke at it but I
can't).  I'm hoping someone can confirm that it is the hard
drive that needs to be replaced since I will have to tell
management what to buy (and accounting is CHEAP) and it would
really be embarrassing to have to order a second piece of
hardware.  Basically these are the messages I found in
/var/log/messges and dmesg (da0 is the first SCSI drive).

The sudoers file has a really weird syntax, but what that means is that
any user (the first ALL keyword) may run "thescript" as root on any
machine (the second ALL keyword; this allows the same file to be
replicated to multiple machines) without a password prompt (the
NOPASSWD: keyword).

Maybe. Either you get to do it the hard way, or you get to use beta
software for it :-)

I think Mondo  might do the job
here. Yeah, I'm biased (I ported the thing to BSD :-), but it
seriously might work.  Note that the FreeBSD port is beta, and the
links on the downloads page for it are BROKEN. [*don't use them --
use CVS*]

Install system to one HD. Make sure you have the ports collection,
CVS, and the devtools. Install these ports:
+ devel/gmake
+ devel/newt
+ lang/perl
+ shells/bash
+ sysutils/afio
+ sysutils/cdrtools

$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mondorescue
$ cvs login
Password: 
$ cvs checkout mindi-fbsd
[snip]
$ cvs checkout mondo-devel
[snip]
$ unset CVSROOT

$ su
Password:
# cd mindi-fbsd && bash install.sh && cd ..
# cd mondo-fbsd && ./configure && make && make install && cd ..
# mondoarchive && : follow prompts && reboot && : insert CD && : interactive mode
[yes, you CAN type that command :-]

If it asks you whether to backup the MBR raw, say yes.

Make sure you set up some Vinum partitions in the mountlist
editor. Add some partitions type + mountpoint "raid", put in
/dev/vinum/something as the device (replace "something" with the
volume name you want, of course), press OK, edit that entry, select
mountpoint, press RAID.., follow prompts. Delete all non-RAID
partitions, except maybe a /boot partition or /.

Note that the RAID editor is a bit suboptimal (only uses one subdisk
per partition). Still, it works. 

Do you want to partition your disks? Yes.
Do you want to format your disks? Yes.
Do you want to restore everything? Yes.

If it doesn't work, and you feel like it, email me the problem, along
with /var/log/mondo-archive.log.

I end up with a single copy of '/'.  However, I partition (both,all) drives
identically, so that each has a 200MB-or-so slice at the beginning.  I use
rsync from a cron job to make backups of '/' to the starting slice of each
drive.

The reasons I do this are that:

1) Any old FreeBSD boot floppy/CD can read the "mirrors" of '/' in the event
   that the root drive dies, regardless of the state of vinum.  Makes
   disaster recovery that much easier.

2) You get a little bit of versioning for free.  Accidentally overwrite
   /etc/master.passwd with mergemaster?  Just grab the copy from
   /rootbackup.

Weird.  I've never bothered with any of that.  I always just call "create"
with:

  sd length 0 drive myDrive1

and let vinum calculate the correct sizes.

   I tried a suggestion by Ryan (slipping in something from his email)
Well, why don't you just chmod 4755 /bin/ksh, then. :-D
with a slight change, I copied  ksh  to  /bin  with the name  kshroot , made 
sure
that the group on it is the group of  root , and then did
 chmod 4750  /bin/kshroot
Thus only the users who are 'close to' root (e.g., generally users who have 
the
root  password so they can become  root  if necessary) can run this shell 
whenever
they need to act as  root , and can use it in scripts (first line: 
#!/bin/kshroot).  Again
note that these scripts can only be invoked by users who are 'close to' 
root.  For the
other users, I'd have to use a sudo.

Isn't the requirement of providing two nameservers when registering
a domain to ensure redundancy in case one is down/unreachable/etc.?

Having two instances of BIND (bound to separate IP addresses) on
a single machine throws this redudancy right out the window.

If one only has one physical nameserver, there are web sites devoted
to matching up people who agree to provide secondary DNS for each
other.  This has the added benefit of having your nameservers greatly
separated (both physically and network wise).

The requirement to have seperate nameservers is for redundancy: you are expected 
to actually have two real, seperate machines on two different IP addresses, so 
that DNS continues to work even if one nameserver fails.

Do said registrars actually verify that one IP is claiming to be

Howdy list,

Does anyone know if it's possible to mix virtual
PCM devices? (i.e. /dev/dsp0.1, /dev/dsp0.2, etc...)

I'm trying to run XMMS at a different volume level
than my KDE SFX volume level. XMMS is using /dev/dsp0.2
and KDE is using /dev/dsp0.3.

Are you able to have a mirrored root-device (/) with this approach? Or will 
you end up with having a single copy of / on one drive?

I've read a bit of a chapter from the 4th edition of The Complete FreeBSD:

It suggests to install the swap-partition first on the drive, setup a slice

setting up arson...help please!

[sweetleaf]

Anybody have arson working with a IDE Burner via SCSI emu in freebsd 5.1?

I added SCSI emulation to my kernel:

# ATA and ATAPI devices
device  ata
device  atadisk # ATA disk drives
device  atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives
device  atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives
device  atapist # ATAPI tape drives
options ATA_STATIC_ID   #Static device numbering
Other apps such as gcombust and xcdroast work but i  cant seem to 
configure arson for the burner. Xcdroast recognized the drive upon 
startup, for gcombust i had to manually set the drive " 1,0,0". In arson 
it wont let me add any SCSI  devices such as 1,0,0 and when I press scan 
SCSI bus it turns up nothing. The only add button that works is IOCTL, 
so i tried acd0 and 1,0,0 but nothing.

anyways if anyone has this working i would appreciate the assistance.

Thanks, and have a great day all!!

(I hope the RIAA doesn't find out ;-). 
 
Does anybody have any ideas I could try to stop, kill, or reboot it before 
we can get to it physically?

No, it's generally considered {easier,better,more manageable,...} to
only have one instance of BIND.  BIND can be master for some domains
and slave for others, so there really is no need.

RE: kernel files

[fbsd_user]

Sure you can delete those files and not hurt any thing. But they do
have purpose in FBSD. Lets say you recompile kernel and for some
reason when you go to boot new kernel it does not boot, you are
stuck. You can reboot  and select the kernel.Generic or kernel.old
to bring box back to life and fix problem, so that being said, it's
highly recommended to not delete those files.

usb device problem

[Giuseppe Pagnoni]

Dear list

I am running 4.8stable and  I have a problem with a USB disk on key.  
When I insert it into one of the USB ports, I get the error message:

uhub0: device problem, disabling port 1

In the kernel, both da and umass are enabled.

Any suggestion?

thanks

Greetings all:

I am connecting to my isp with the following ppp.conf using the

when i run the command i usually connect on the second try.
for some reason the connection drops after the first try, but my

I think my problem is with my default route is not setup properly.

here is a snip of my ifconfig, for some reason i have two tun

i think that is caused by trying to dial up twice? any thought on
how to setup my default route properly?

Re: maildir with softupdates

[Raphaël Marmier]

Basically, if you want to ensure that email wont get lost, put the 
maildirs and mail queue on separate partitions and mount them sync. 
This is what I do.

If you have to speed things, try first a battery backed raid controler 
and enable the write cache on it. Of course, you should always use an 
UPS and some will say you can take the risk of enabling soft-updates 
anyway.

But realise that if you have only a small load on the mail server, then 
having the partition mounted sync wont make such a big difference. If 
you are under high load, when you need performance, you also need to 
mount sync, as the potential of loss is much greater...

just my two cents

Yes,

It's also true that any form of write-caching is unsafe, so disable
the caches on your SCSI and ATA hard drives.  Simply accept the
terrible performance hit if you want super-reliability.
Also, make sure you have redundant power supplies, UPSes and a diesel
generator out back to cover power problems.
In reality, anything comes with a certain amount of risk, and that
statement is too vague to be useful.
To my knowledge, ext3 is not unsafe by nature, it is simply unsafe
by default because the default mount is async - which will generally
be corrupted in the event of hardware failure.
UFS+softupdates generally survives hardware failure without corruption,
although it has a funny habit of losing files that were saved right
before the failure.  Result being that you could lose emails.
However ... even a sync mount can become corrupt in the event of
hardware failure, although it's much less likely.
So you need to determine the risk level you're willing to accept as
well as the performance you require.  And you probably need to do more
research than accepting that one-line statement, as it's too vague to
properly describe the potential risk/benefits.
This reminds me of the days when DOS first got disk-caching via a
TSR (what was the name of that thing) and all the IT folks kept saying
"Don't use it, it's dangerous" without understanding why it was
dangerous.  I used it anyway, because it improved performance
considerably.

mod_perl

[Andy Harrison]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

I'd like to install mod_perl from ports on freebsd, but even if I do something
as simple as 'make extract' it complains:

Error: you don't have the right version of perl in /usr/bin.

This is correct, I want to install it against the version of perl in
/usr/local/bin *not* against the version in /usr/bin.

Any advice?

I cannot use the 'use.perl' script because that takes over the /usr/bin/perl
binary which I must leave untouched.

Why do you say you have installed the package?  Since pkg_info doesn't show it,
we can see that you have *not* installed Window Maker, although you appear to
have successfully installed the wmtop dock app.

Also, as someone pointed out already, the binary is wmaker, not windowmaker. 
And you need to be sure you've run wmaker.inst while logged in as your regular
login account first.

Crash with bpf

[Andrea Venturoli]

Hello.
I've got a production server which keeps crashing if I use bpfs to much.
I usually only use bpf0 for dhcp server, but if I start e.g. snort and ntop, the 
machine will soon reboot. The same
happens if I run tcpdump.

uname -a gives:

FreeBSD x..zz 4.7-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p9 #2: Sat Mar 22 
19:25:28 CET 2003
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X  i386


The hardware is an Athlon with 128MB RAM, 4 SCSI HD building two mirrored vinum 
volumes and two Intel NIC (one of which
is currently unused, but was when it all began and probably will be again soon).

The problem has started to show after an upgrade to 4.6 or 4.7 I believe (but I cannot 
recall exactly).
I might as well try an upgrade to 4.8, but I'd rather have more insight.

Following is the output of bt from gdb. Anyone can suggest where do I look next?

I've had great success with configuring an initial tiny partition as '/' and
doing a minimal installation (and I mean *minimal*, as in, there's nothing
else you can remove and still have it boot).  The first step after booting
the new system is then configuring vinum, adding volumes for /usr, /var, and
so on, and moving the (small!) amount of data from the "physical" filesystem
to their vinum counterparts.  Once that's up, I do a more complete install
with /stand/sysinstall.

Out of curiosity, what offsets have you had to calculate?

You didn't install windowmaker, just wmtop (which is an applet for the
windowmaker dock).

If you want to run wmtop, just type "wmtop" in an xterm.

If you want to install windowmaker, then cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/windowmaker
&& make install. Then you can put "exec wmaker" into your ~/.xinitrc or
your ~/.xsession.

le

Re: windowmaker problem

Don't know much about bash, but do you need to update your shell's path?

For instance, running "rehash" under csh will tell the shell to 
update its list of executables found in the path.

I noticed this too... ;/ Not sure what changed -
http://www.freshports.org/lang/php4/ suggests GD support for animated
gifs changed actually... perhaps it was this?
 
How about uninstalling GD and the rebuilding it without support
for X11 or XPM:

cd /usr/ports/gd2 && make -DWITHOUT_X11 -DWITHOUT_XPM clean install

then make clean install the mod_php4 port again?  You could perhaps try
installing /usr/ports/gd instead even, it doesn't look like that port
depends on any X related ports from looking at it's Makefile.

If you wanted to try and resolve the fontconfig issue (which I seem to
remember having as well recently) you could try a make clean install in
/usr/ports/x11-fonts/fontconfig (after cvsupping first).

Ah-hem, you do *not* have windowmaker installed. You have wmtop

Removing the 'set ifaddr' line fixed some weird problems for me.
However, I use ppp for PPPoE. It might be worth a try, though. I know
several people that have removed that line successfully.

Installing FreeBSD onto Vinum-volumes?

[Eivind Olsen]

Hello.

I'm about to install a new machine which will have 2 IDE-disks. I'd like to 
mirror some volumes between those disks while other volumes should be 
striped.
I'd like to do this with FreeBSD 5.1.

There's no data on the disks that I want/have to keep. Is it at all 
possible to configure Vinum and then install FreeBSD or will I have to 
install FreeBSD first and then "convert" to Vinum-volumes by manually 
editing the disklabel (with bsdlabel), calculating offsets etc.?

In other words, is there an easy way to do this? :)

(I already tried installing FreeBSD and then "converting" to Vinum but 
failed miserably and am now looking for an easy way out.)

problems do configure monitor in my notebook

[EDISON PIGNATON DE FREITAS]

Hi,

  I have a notebook Satellite 3000-214, and now I want to install the
freeBSD SO, together with windows XP that came with my notebook. I made a
partition to install the new SO, and I with the FreeBSD install program I 
made
the swap and FS partitions. I manage to install the system, but the graphic 
mode
doesn't work anyway! I tryed all, but I didn't manage put it in work! even 
the
mouse (USB - a thing that I thought that could be difficult to set in this
system...) works in text mode... I tryed to setup in the sysinstall the
XF86Config, and after in text mode with the vi. I think that the problem is 
with
the is the configuration of the monitor, in the horizsync and vertRefresh
parameters I tryed many confs that I found in the internet... h: 31,5- 
62;
v: 30-50 ... and many other combinations... but it doesn't work!  When I try
"startx", apper in the many thin vertical shining color lines on the 
monitor.
Could you give a help?
 Thank you,

ppp connection problem

[Brian Henning]

Greetings all:

I am connecting to my isp with the following ppp.conf using the command
>ppp -auto isp
when i run the command i usually connect on the second try.
for some reason the connection drops after the first try, but my 
true problem is i can ping internal ips and not ips outside the network.
I think my problem is with my default route is not setup properly.

here is a snip of my ifconfig, for some reason i have two tun devices.
i think that is caused by trying to dial up twice? any thought on 
how to setup my default route properly?

Thanks,

brian

Re: windowmaker problem

[John Morgan Salomon]

Well, the pkg_info should display something like

windowmaker-0.80.2  GNUStep-compliant NeXTStep window manager clone

and the command is /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker

wmtop is just an app that docks under Windowmaker.  You want to
install /usr/ports/x11-wm/windowmaker.

Interrupts percentage high + packetloss

[Feczak Szabolcs]

Hi,

there is a gw on 100mbit bandwidth, and interrupt is 
damn high on it even though the bandwidth utilization is only
about 20%, and it is an AMD 2Ghz machine with 0,5Gb of DDR Ram
though the network card is a D-Link DL10050 (one pci card
with 4 ports), so maybe this is the problem, you will let me
know

I have queried with some commands the system stats, 
let me know if someone interested in any other details
and which command gives me the result.

Any ideas why is this percentage so high ? Or how can I
see this in more detail ? I wouldn't be excited about it,
but packet loss occour (I can see if I ping the machine 
from outside network), it's running a quake server behind
this gw and it has quiet much amount of "LAG"

How to drive an NE2000 compatible isa card

[Zhang Le]

Hello, 
  I have an NE2000 (10M) compatible isa card with
io=0x300 irq=5 (under win98).
  But I fail to drive it under a FreeBSD 4.8. I have
recompiled kernel with ed
  support. dmesg does not contain recognition message
and 
  kldstat -v |grep ed gives:
pci/ed
145 isa/ed
146 pccard/ed
147 ed/miibus

  How to drive my NE2000 card, any tips?

Or just when copying text files from windows to UNIX-like, copy them in
ASCII mode so that not to have "^M" at the end of each line... or develop
good habits and begin to edit scripts in "vi" or so...

I can't follow your point... Are you going to run TWO named daemons? I can't
see why you're doing this. master and slave are configured in named.conf and
doesn't matter where you're going to start the daemon from, besides, the
named daemon can process both master and slave zone at the same time, you
don't have to run TWO named daemons.

try to make yourself clearer, I suspect I failed to understand the idea...
:(

as for starting named from rc.conf here is a record from my rc.conf

### BIND 9.1.2
named_enable="YES"
named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"
named_flags="-t /etc/namedb"

If so, then you can't. Becouse the precompiled version of mysql for 5.0
doesn't exist as yet. Just take the source and compile it by yourself.
