Oops, I missed that.  He doesn't have support for the device (MIDI?)
loaded/compiled into his kernel, then.

if_tun

[Antoine Jacoutot]

Hi :)

I just migrated a 4.8 server to -CURRENT and I have one question.
At boot time I get the following message:


module_register: module if_tun already exists!
Module if_tun failed to register: 17
can't re-use a leaf (if_tun_debug)!


Then I can see a "if_tun.ko" in my loaded modules.
What is this module ? I guess this has to do with the fact that I connect to the
internet using ppp, but this module wasn't loaded under 4.8.
Is there a kernel option I missed ?
I already have "device tun" in my kernel config file.

Thanks in advance.

what device i should use

[Alexander N. Ryzhov]

Hello,
I have Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A and i want to use it in my FreeBSD 4.9 
box, but i cant't find it in "FreeBSD/i386 4.9-RELEASE Hardware Notes" 
in "Disk Controllers" section, what device in KERNEL configuration file 
i can try to use to support my ATA RAID 1200A or where are no such 
device at all.

Any suggestions welcome,

You know, it's a good question - just for kicks, I tried this on my two
FreeBSD machines:

FreeBSD 4.9-RC #1: Wed Oct 15 08:12:11 PDT 2003:

  # apm
  apm: can't open /dev/apm: Device not configured
  # sysctl machdep.apm_standby_delay
  machdep.apm_standby_delay: 1

FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE #1: Sat Nov  1 09:16:30 PST 2003:

  # apm
  APM version: 1.2
  APM Management: disabled
  AC Line status: unknown
  (... etc ...)
  # sysctl machdep.apm_standby_delay
  sysctl: unknown oid 'machdep.apm_standby_delay'

...which is a bit odd, to say the least.  If anything, I would've
expected the machine that doesn't have APM support compiled in to the
kernel, to be the one with no understanding of APM-related sysctls. 
But, it's the other way around.  Maybe something changed in the last two
weeks?  But you're running 4.8-RELEASE-p13 - I'd expect that to be
(essentially) older than either of my installations...

Anyway, those two oids don't seem to be documented under sysctl(8).  And
googling on them doesn't yield a lot.  I really have no idea, I just
thought I'd throw this out there as another data point.  (This issue
seems to be generating more heat than light, if you'll pardon the pun :)

Wait a sec...wine on FreeBSD 5.1?  Wasn't wine on 5.1 broken (but fixed in
-CURRENT)?

I haven't gotten wine to work on 5.1 (programs always hung for a bit
before 'generating an exception'), and from looking around on the net, it's
a known problem, and fixed in -CURRENT.

Furthermore, I think it's just winecheck that complains about
/dev/sequencer.  Back when I ran wine on 4.x it never once complained about
a missing /dev/sequencer.

I have been working with both Tyan and AMD to resolve this, the issue is still

I'm kind of stuck on FreeBSD.  Not interested in moving on to another *nix or any 
other OS
for that matter.

This has been done.  Both the machine with the heat issue and his sister (18" apart) 
run
neck and neck with respect to the hardware monitor readings, temperatures and such, and
neither box, as you put it; "bakes out on me/us" <-- this has been tested overnight in 
a
warm environment, the same environment that the OS runs in normally except for this 
test,
we cut the air-conditioner off.  This issue I'm dealing with only happens when Freebsd 
is
loaded and the air conditioner is off.

This does make absolute sense, but this isn't a publicly accessable machine, so it 
would
rarely reach that max_load to cause it to overheat as its doing now, provided, I can 
find
someone to answer the second outstanding question; Where are those sysctl variables

Your "2-cents" makes perfect sense, but as I posted above, I would rather replace 
either/
or both the motherboard and both processors.  Before doing so, I had to hear what the
community at large thinks about this.

Same physical disk. Windoze is on ad0s1 and FBSD is on ad0s2. At the

Hey all,

I'm using the pcm driver and everything related to sound works thus far. 
 But now that I'm trying to use Wine, it prompts me that I do not have

I'm running Free 5.1 and have a sblive card, which works great.  It 
looks several symbolic links are missing in my /dev folder, according to

/dev/midi

/dev/pss
Any ideas?

Re: Overheating attributed to Freebsd --sysctl variables notavailable--

[Technical Director]

Forgive me for saying:

If this system is borked with FreeBSD due to the cpu's not cycling
'down', then use a different operating system. FreeBSD is not responsible
for your trouble if you can solve the problem by moving on. Doing so and
solving the problem is more important than holding the OS and the
contributors to it accountable to something so seemingly far fetched. 

One way to test overall integrity of your hardware is to boot to bios and
leave it. Does it bake out on you? Then there is definitely something
wrong with your hardware, perhaps a fan is spinning less rpms than when
new.

In my humble opinion this is probably not associated with the OS, but,
that doesn't solve 'your' problem. So besides seeing it for myself I can't
see an absolute need to use FreeBSD, in your words the problem, and not
use some other [$]NIX.

One last thing, if your CPU's are baking out and crashing, are you not
nervous that under load this will happen no matter what the OS? Tweaking
system variables will not help you if your server is working ultra-hard,
at some point you will reach a mark that your system should still be able
to do which currently it can't.

I doubt hardware manufactuers put out equipment that can't run at 100% at
least.

My 2 cents.

Both the board(s) and the processors were RMA'd.
Both boards and all four (4) processors were swapped around between both OS's and the
problem remains using the hardware with the FreeBSD OS.  The latest BIOS is installed.

We also have a newly purchased board (S-2466), the same thing occurs.

I'm interested in those missing sysctl variables I posted @

You may want to have a look at /usr/ports/sysutils/fvcool.  (If you'd like 
a script to run it on startup, Dr. Matthew Seaman posted one to the 
mailing list some months ago - January?)

Re: Overheating attributed to Freebsd --sysctl variables notavailable--

[nw1]

I almost agree with you, except for one (1) or two (2) other factor(s):
There is another case with the same motherboard, processors, and Ram running another OS
which never ever shuts down due to heat as the one I described at
http://69.3.136.141/freebsd/installation/sysctl_variables_missing.  This other machine 
has
many more IDE devices in it that is capable of generating more heat than the FreeBSD
machine that's currently over heating, and the other machine never overheats or 
exhibits
any instability.  Hence, if you have two (2) machines with the same basic hardware and
after swapping the hardware from one case to the other case --one by one, the only
difference left is the OS and/ or the OS's settings.

The last factor are those variables I mentioned (OS settings).  When I set those 
variables
in the past, the overheating subsided.  As far as your opinion about the box crashing 
or
overheating --its the cpu overheating because of instructions its receiving from the 
OS;
proven by and in comparison to his sister running the same basic hardware, sitting 18"
away from him.

All of my Intel machines running the same version of FreeBSD, which by the way was
installed from this build-box (Box-1) via NFS, doesn't have any heating or missing
variable issues.  I'm in no way suggesting this is solely a FreeBSD issue, but I have
controlled this situation in the past with the variables that are currently unavailable
for some unknown reason -- 
(http://69.3.136.141/freebsd/installation/sysctl_variables_missing)

I'm all ears on this.  I still haven't gotten feedback on the missing variables that 
very
well should be available, but aren't.  :-)

Mr. Ulrich, I understand your position, however, do you understand mine?  :-)

Okay, this piqued my curiosity enough that I took a look at the message
in the URL above. 

Conclusion: FreeBSD doesn't even enter into it. The ONLY good solution
to this is to get better physical cooling of the CPUs (or the entire box
if you have to). Otherwise, you're still going to run into problems
whenever there's a full system load. Chances are, they're still running
way too hot even if they're not crashing the system. This will only
result in premature failure of the processors. Take it from the close
friend of an overclocker. :) If the machine is crashing (you only say
"overheating", which could mean either crashing or just getting
dangerously hot), then I would even go so far as to say that there's a
possibility that the stability of the processors is already decreasing,
leading to the more recent crashes.

Does the system print any information or does it lock up at the very
beginning? If it does, you should post that message here.

Btw.: Do the cards play together nicely on a different OS? Is it possible
that they all use the same resources like irqs, io ranges etc?

In most BIOSes you can assign fixed irqs to the various PCI slots, so
you could work around that problem.

The answers can be found in the FAQ. The source is:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#DISK-MORE-THAN-FULL

9.25. How is it possible for a partition to be more than 100% full?

A portion of each UFS partition (8%, by default) is reserved for use by
the operating system and the root user. df(1) does not count that space
when calculating the Capacity column, so it can exceed 100%. Also,
you'll notice that the Blocks column is always greater than the sum of
the Used and Avail columns, usually by a factor of 8%.

For more details, look up the -m option in tunefs(8).

Overheating attributed to Freebsd --sysctl variables not available--

[nw1]

The problem can be viewed @:
http://69.3.136.141/freebsd/installation/sysctl_variables_missing

Basically, the machine is overheating (I believe) because the cpu's aren't cycling 
down.
Previously I was able to cycle the processors down with the following sysctl variables:

machdep.apm_suspend_delay:
machdep.apm_standby_delay:

however, for some reason those variables currently, aren't any where to be found by the
up_and_running system.  Please use the hyperlink above for details.

OK, let me restate this to make sure I understand it; please correct me
if I get anything wrong.

The xterm that comes with XFree86 4.x, and most of the 3.x branch, has
ANSI color support. The xterms that come with earlier XFree86 3.x
versions and the X11R6.3 reference servers have old-style color support.
But in the old days, xterm didn't have any color support (it originally
emulated a B&W vt100 or something, right?).

So, up to FreeBSD 4.8, the terminfo for xterm didn't indicate color
support, and you had to specify xterm-color (or xterm-xf86-v40 or
whatever). In 4.9 and 5.1, this is no longer an issue; xterm works just
fine (unless someone's trying to connect to your FreeBSD box from some
box running an ancient xterm...).

Should I file a bug report on the ls(1) manpage, then? It says: "The
default ``cons25'' console has the proper capabilities, but to display
the colors in an xterm(1), for example, the TERM variable must be set to
``xterm-color''." This isn't true with 4.9/5.1--and also isn't true for
ancient non-color-capable xterms, for that matter.

Quoting the Fine Manual:

 If the security level is initially nonzero, then init leaves it
 unchanged.  Otherwise, init raises the level to 1 before going multi-user
 for the first time.  Since the level cannot be reduced, it will be at
 least 1 for subsequent operation, even on return to single-user.  If a
 level higher than 1 is desired while running multi-user, it can be set
 before going multi-user, e.g., by the startup script rc(8), using
 sysctl(8) to set the ``kern.securelevel'' variable to the required secu-
 rity level.

I booted to single user mode from the boot prompt, but was unable to do
anything inside var because there were no directories there!?

So, I booted to full mode then did

# init 1

Here, I tried as you suggested but yet again I got the same error.

Also, when I boot up I have kern_securelevel="0" set in my rc.conf,
which is not > 0

I'm using KDE 3.1.2. When I start KDE I get the error message about 
/dev/dsp. I haven't worried about that yet. 

Jesse Guardiani wrote that he had his working correctly. All of the 
modules he suggested are already installed. When I 'kldload snd_ich' 
it returns 'Can't load: File exists.' yet it does not show on 
'kldstat' as here:
bash-2.05b$ kldstat

 31 0xc4594000 18000linux.ko

I haven't tried cdcontrol. Since 'dmesg| grep pcm' returns nothing, I 
figure no sound is running.

FreeBSD does not require MAKEDEV anymore, correct?

Problems with ssh

Hi!

I can't ssh into one of my machines anymore.
The only possible reason I can think of is that I played around

Re: AC97 sound support

[Jon Mercer]

Just curious, because I posted a similar problem about AC/97 recently. 
What desktop are you using? I am using gnome2 ATMo with no problems. Had 
a problem under KDE that I couldn't work around about dsp problems, and 
wondered if this was something similar?

If this works, you might want to add the driver to the /boot/loader.conf,
you can find an example in /boot/defaults/loader.conf .

Subject: AC97 sound support



I've just installed 5.1 -RELEASE on my new machine, a HP a350n. For
sound this computer uses onboard RealTek AC97 Audio.
I went throught the normal installation steps, then ran the steps for
soundcard configuration in the manual. I ran kldload. I recompiled
the kernel with 'device pcm'. I tried 'options PNPBIOS', at which
point I received a message about an unkown option.
dmesg | grep pci gives me this line:
pci0:  at device 31.5 (no driver attached)
dmesg | grep pcm returns nothing.

This has all been seen on this list before. I searched c.u.b.f.m and
-questions and have seen this come up before, but I never saw a
resolution.
My question is:

Does all this mean the FreeBSD does not support onboard Realtek AC97
Audio? I'd just like to know before I go out and buy a soundcard. It
is not that I'm cheap, I just like finding out how FreeBSD works. :-)
However it looks like a Soundblaster Live is the answer.
Thanks for the help in the past and future.

*Hypothetically*, sure.

But for a guy who just admitted that he doesn't know how his system
tar got replaced with something else, without any idea how, I'd say
problems are likely.  On the other hand, if you really have some rogue
executable in place of your system tar, you would probably be better
off wiping the disk and starting from scratch anyway.

Unable to delete empty directory /var/tmp/temproot

[David Jenkins]

Hi,

I am new to FreeBSD and recently completed my first build/installworld.
Everything went fine, except after running mergemaster it seems I have a
directory which I am unable to delete - /var/tmp/temproot.

When I searched the mailing lists I found a thread relating to this
problem but it did not say how to fix it.

The problem directory as I'm sure you all know is
/var/tmp/temproot/var/empty.

I have tried running mergemaster again and tried deleting it from within
there.

I have also tried:

# chflags noschg empty/
chflags: empty/: Operation not permitted
chflags: empty/: Operation not permitted

# chmod -R 0700 empty/
chmod: empty/: Operation not permitted

Please could someone point me in the right direction with this.

Sysinstall Hangs while probing hardware on 5.1-release

[Joshua Dobbin]

Hi, I've got a p4 2.4 ghz on an MSI 865P board, Geforce4 TI 4200. I
recently obtained 5.1 release and was excited to install, being
dissapointed w/performance on Linux. Sysinstall hung while probing, it
stopped at /dev/cuaa4 (Com 5) while running verbose mode. So, I ripped
out my modem and 5.1 installed fine. I have a US Robotics PCI Hardware
modem which has never given me a lick of trouble prior to this.  Does
anyone know how I can either patch sysinstall or my boot system in order
to not have to yank out hardware?
 
Thanks,

With that amount of RAM and hard disk, it's pretty likely to be a 386, or

He didn't actually say it was a 386, just that it was from the i386
family.  

5.1 doesn't support 386 by default, but I don't remember if that was

*** 1 *** opiepasswd/opiekey

I've added user using `opiepasswd -c "ssa"`

   mx2# opiepasswd -c "ssa"
   Adding ssa:
   Only use this method from the console; NEVER from remote. If you are using
   telnet, xterm, or a dial-in, type ^C now or exit with no password.
   Then run opiepasswd without the -c parameter.
   Using MD5 to compute responses.

  ID ssa OTP key is 499 mx1759
  WADE IFFY LAWN MEAD DANG BUB

And now I want to change it

   mx2# opiepasswd "ssa"
   Updating ssa:
   You need the response from an OTP generator.
   New secret pass phrase:
  otp-md5 499 mx17
  Response:
You see that seed equal 'mx17', using opiekey:

   mx2# opiekey 499 mx17
   Using the MD5 algorithm to compute response.
   Seeds must be greater than 5 characters long.
   mx2#
So it is not possible to update password in /etc/opiekey file, you
have to edit it manually and that add password again via 'opiepasswd'.


*** 2***  opiekey

opiekey could not generate response for zero sequence number when it
specified directly:
   mx2# opiekey -a 0 vo6199
   Using the MD5 algorithm to compute response.
   Sequence number 0 is not positive.
but it works fine in case of:

   mx2# opiekey -n5 1 vo6199
   Using the MD5 algorithm to compute response.
   Reminder: Don't use opiekey from telnet or dial-in sessions.
   Enter secret pass phrase:
   0: OAK SEW CULT FALL AX WAND
   1: BOUT AID SOOT BUT SIT BILK
   mx2#
*** 3 *** pam_opie.so, the most interesting thing

After successful login with 0 sequence number, trying to do it again
(sequence number has been decreased, right?)
   mx2# ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   otp-md5 -1 (null) ext
   Password:
Is  it  impossible  to calculate response to '-1' so trying to use any
password  to  skip  pam_opie  and login with next pam module. But here
login   hangs   and  there  is  _no_way_  to  login  remotely  because
pam_opie.so is the top line of pam.conf
After about 1-2 minutes timeout it just says "Connection closed by 192.168.90.250"

*** 4 *** now just a question

(In  case  of fix) After 0 or 1 seq. number it should recount from the
beginning,  for  example  from  499,  but  I think that seed should be
automatically  changed  in that case for next 500 iterations otherwise
that is not one-time-passwords


So...  I think that is not good ... or am I mistaken?

Recommendations for wireless networking and FreeBSD

[John DeStefano]

I've just moved into an apartment in which drilling and running wires is taboo.  Has 
anyone delved successfully into the realms of wireless networking their FreeBSD 
groups?  My main server is running 4.8-STABLE, and I have a client machine running 
5.1-RELEASE (which has been suspect to a lack of driver support for its onboard NIC in 
FBSD anyway), but I am not married to any of these releases and would up/downgrade if 
a solution was available.
I'd also prefer a Wireless-G access point and adapter solution if possible, as opposed 
to the much slower B solutions available.
Thanks

Interesting..is the jail populated with 4.8R binaries too?  What might

Try setting ftp_proxy to "http://192.168.0.1:3130";.  The fetch command

Yeah, after 10 straight hours on a P3-1.3ghz and 4-6 Gigs
of disk space! :)

I've got a package of OO-1.1 for stock FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE
and jdk-1.4.1p4 if anyone wants to post it to the download
site somewhere.

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  76918941 Oct 19 12:24 openoffice-1.1.0_1.tbz

I built it by hand because the package on the OO-1.1 website
said it required some kernel changes from -CURRENT.

I'm NOT making this available for general download directly
from me. Contact me offlist if you're interested in
providing my package on a website somewhere.

[FreeBSD 5.0] Problem with /etc/crontab --> /usr/libexec/save-entropy //

[Greg Bernard]

I have a problem with the /usr/libexec/save-entropy script executed by
crontab in /etc/crontab :

When I let the /etc/crontab script execute normally I have a mail generated

I had to comment the line in /etc/crontab so that It stopped generating
error every 11 minutes, could this be a potential problem ?

I don't exactly see what seems to go wrong with the script !?

   When this option is specified, the X  server loads  all  video

Congratz,
Have you tried this?
# kldload snd_driver (This tries all sound drivers..one of them might
work...)
If this works, you might want to add the driver to the /boot/loader.conf,
you can find an example in /boot/defaults/loader.conf .

Good Luck!

You'll probably like Kontact then, version 0.8 of which will be part of KDE 
3.2. Kontact ties KMail and KOrganizer into a single window and lots of work 
has been done on making them interact in a meaninful way.

The 0.8 version number reflects that it isn't quite finished yet, but a 
standalone version of Kontact after KDE 3.2 is released, hopefully around 
Christmas time.

"Entire KDE subsystem" is somewhat misleading. kdeinit will be launched which 
will want to run kbuildsycoca to check for any modified .desktop files, and 
so on (though this shouldn't take long as this is cached).

You can speed this up by putting "kdeinit&" into your .xinitrc or whatever you 
use to start X, this will mean that kdeinit is started when you run start X, 
at the expense of a bit of memory.

If you want the image to end up on the windows system, why just smbfs a
share from the windows system and use dump to image the entire fbsd box?
It's a lot less hassle than using a windows app to attempt to image a nix
file system.

AC97 sound support

[Gary Schenk]

I've just installed 5.1 -RELEASE on my new machine, a HP a350n. For 
sound this computer uses onboard RealTek AC97 Audio.

I went throught the normal installation steps, then ran the steps for 
soundcard configuration in the manual. I ran kldload. I recompiled 
the kernel with 'device pcm'. I tried 'options PNPBIOS', at which 
point I received a message about an unkown option.

dmesg | grep pci gives me this line:
pci0:  at device 31.5 (no driver attached)

dmesg | grep pcm returns nothing.

This has all been seen on this list before. I searched c.u.b.f.m and 
-questions and have seen this come up before, but I never saw a 
resolution.

My question is:

Does all this mean the FreeBSD does not support onboard Realtek AC97 
Audio? I'd just like to know before I go out and buy a soundcard. It 
is not that I'm cheap, I just like finding out how FreeBSD works. :-) 
However it looks like a Soundblaster Live is the answer.

Thanks for the help in the past and future.

problem with build environment

[Goodleaf, John M]

I was tempted to send this to CURRENT, but this question seems more general.

I installed 5_1 Release from an ISO on a "fresh" machine. I installed cvsup
from packages and then cvsup'd the CURRENT code (tag=.). Curiously,
buildworld fails repeatedly in the same way, suggesting there's something
systematic wrong with my environment. Basically, the system won't build
because it finds missing header files in libstdc++. If I put the missing
file in manually, libstdc++ will build, but then something else just fails
in the same way later on (groff or texinfo). I've cvsup'd multiple times,
and removed /usr/obj and so forth. No go. There's something just wrong here.
I don't pretend to understand the nitty gritty of the buildworld process,
but I've used it a lot and not encountered this before.

Incidentally, I did remove src and cvsup the RELENG_5_1 branch to try a
clean rebuild. The build fails in the same spot, claiming an
unwind.h in libstdc++/libsupc++ can't be
found.

Any suggestions?
John

Best thing to do is inside the jail filesystem

cd etc
rm fstab
touch fstab

Thats what we do on our jails

Usually, by inserting a video card into an AGP slot instead of a PCI
slot.  If you have both installed, then the answer kind of depends on
why you did that; the PC architecture doesn't deal well with such a
configuration.
PC hardware deals fine with a video card in both the AGP slot and one 
or more PCI slots-- at least for the purposes of having several 
displays running at relatively high resolutions (eg, 1280x1024x32) 
doing normal desktop activities.  3D hardware acceleration isn't going 
to run very quickly on several PCI devices at once, true, or even one, 
if that was the concern, but 2D works fine.

This was on relatively generic hardware-- a buncha Dell machines 
between the 440 LX and BX chipsets [P2-300 through P3-700's], using 
mainly nVidia TNT2/early GeForce or ATI Radeon AGP cards and PCI-based 
Matrox Millenium's.  The admin who was setting these up ended up having

jail core dumps

[Chris]

I followed the instructions from the man jail(8) and ended up with mount.core, 
swapon.core, and umount.core in the / directory. The messages that came up when trying 
to start up the jail are:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Skipping disk checks ...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Mounting /etc/fstab filesystems failed, startup aborted

This is my first time to try running a jail... any ideas where to look for the

UDMA ICRC Error

[Tomas Nyman]

Hi!
I have a serious problem with 3 of my harddrives, the fail to enter DMA mode on boot, 
I can force them into udma5 using atacontrol but after a few reads I will get the same 
error and they will fall back into PIO4 mode.
The 3 disks are in a Vinum array consisting of 6 drives, the other 3 are working fine.

I have tried 2 different ata controller cards in 2 different PCI slots and 3 different 
ide cables, I still get the same error.

I have ran fsck 4 times on the array and the output is always looking good, no errors 
found:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault code  = supervisor read, page not present

I have not been able to catch the complete error message on a file since the machine 
is far from home and I just had my friend reboot the machine when I got that error, 
but it made me think it might have something to do with this: 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2003-July/007155.html

I know that is a 5.1 error and I´m running 4.9 but could applying the patch that is 
posted a few messages later help me?

I don´t know what to do really, I am OK with doing NEWFS on the array if it would fix 
the disks, but since fsck shows no error I think it´s something else, I appreciate any 
help.

I can set 80x60 mode ok, but whenever I try 132x43 my monitor clicks, then 
no video. I do have VESA in my kernel.

IPFW Logging (Was Re: log really is in security)

You're logging every outbound packet from your machine.  You'll either
need a lot of disk space or have to purge your log files often to keep
from running out of space.  You probably don't want this once you're
finished testing.

This is the default rule unless you compile your kernel with the
"DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT" option.

This rule will not log anything as there is no 'log' in the rule.  It is
counting all packets that don't match any rule above it.  It is the
*ONLY* rule until your firewall script is finished loading so it will
always have a count unless you use 'ipfw zero' to clear it.  Then it
will still increment if a packet does not match one of the rules above.

If you want to log all denied packets, just add a rule above it such as
'$fwcmd add 65500 log deny ip from any to any'.

Because I administer my machines remotely, I compiled my kernel with the
DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT option.  That way when I'm fiddling with my rules, I
don't lock myself out.  As the last rule in my firewall script, I add
the 'deny from any to any' rule I describe above.

Not quite.  It means "stop logging after 3 matches on the rule".  I
suspect you're thinking that it will log 3 matches from 1.2.3.4 and 3
more matches from 5.6.7.8 on the same rule.  No, 3 matches total no
matter from which IP address.

>Thanks for help!

You're welcome.

3Com card stops working

[Chad Gross]

I have a strange problem the 3Com cards in my router.
I had installed 4.8 on a Compaq Deskpro and installed
to 3Com cards that use the xl driver. Most of the time
the router works fine, but at random times it would
stop routing. If I would log into the machine locally
and ifconfig down and up on the external NIC or reboot
it would begin to work again for a random period of
time and then stop again. Until I would do this I
could not even ping anything. I upgraded to 4.9RC2 but
the problem still occurred. Now I can only seem to fix
it for about a minute or so by doing either a reboot
or the ifconfig commands mentioned above. Another
strange thing is that when this happens, if I try to
SSH into the machine’s internal NIC from a machine on
the local net it takes a long time to display the
login prompt and then a long time to display the
password prompt if it displays either at all before
timing out. I can ping the internal NIC perfectly fine
though. Does anyone have a clue as to what this could
be caused by?

It's not possible, because there's no way to enforce it...

I've got to find a way to do this or I'll have to use Linux instead,

Isn't it possible to use nullfs or unionfs to achieve this ?

It's a little more complicated, because the *classical* xterm does
*not*, in fact, have color support, but yes, the latest releases
on both branches should pick this up just fine.

A problem report isn't appropriate.  What you need is that *both* of
the machines have /etc/hosts entries for the other machine.

Re: VPN through NAT

[John Morgan Salomon]

It's possible, but has to do with how VPN-1 is set up.

Read up on the difference between "tunnel" vs. "transport" mode--
I suggest having a look at the Phoneboy archives
(http://www.phoneboy.com).

VPN-1 has a NAT support option, I've had it work a charm with
ipfilter/ipnat, as well as with pf on OpenBSD.  Make sure you're
permitting AH/ESP (IP types 50 and 51, I believe) and the original
IKE connectino (UDP/500).

Caveat:  double-check the above, it's been a while since I've
needed it.

Cheers,

-John

Mouse in X11 in FreeBSD 4.8

[Adam Flaherty]

Hello,

I have recently installed FreeBSD 4.8 and am having trouble getting my 
PS/2 mouse to work with X11. Malcolm Kay has kindly suggested some 
recourse however this has come to no avail and I was wondering whether 
anyone else would have some insights.

The mouse works when setting up moused with /stand/sysinstall and 
xf86cfg but when gnome loads any mouse movement translates into the 
cursor moving to the top right of the screen. I have tried the various 
protocols under xf86cfg and followed the instructions in the FAQ that 
suggest adding lines to the config file, and also linking /dev/mouse 
and /dev/sysmouse. I am at a loss so any help would be highly 
appreciated.

that the sytem dont come up and it is freezes at the beggining.

I want to make the pc that iam working on it a dialup server and i want to connect on

Re: CUPS on 5.1-Release, No Parallel port ??

[Daren Russell]

Jim Durham wrote:

I was just trying to install a parallel printer on my 5.1-RELEASE 
system to use with CUPS.

The Printer is an HP-5L plugged into the parallel port.

lpinfo -v show no parallel port device. ppc0 *does* show up in dmesg 
and there is /dev/lpt0 in the devfs. Also, there is no parallel port 
choice in the cups config screen.

On my 4.9-RELEASE server, with an HP-6L plugged into the parallel 
port, lpinfo -v shows "direct parallel /dev/lpt0" . Cups works 
fine.there.

I also looked on my laptop, running 5.1-RELEASE and the same thing is 
true, lpinfo -v shows no parallel port.

Looking in dmesg on the 4.9 system, the printer is identified by name 
but not on the 5.1 system.

Another curiosityI have /etc/devfs.conf set up to do rules for 
/dev/acd0 and /dev/pass0 to chmod them to 666. I also set this up for 
/dev/lpt0 and it does not work, the port remains 600. Maybe this is a 
clue?

I Googled for this for quite some time and, although I saw others with 
the same problem, there were no answers and I can't find a bug 
report.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi,

I don't know if this helps but I had the same problem with an Epson 
Inkjet with 5.1.  Neither Cups/Freebsd would talk to the parallel port 
because the Epson was low on ink (!)  If it wasn't even plugged in then 
no port was seen.  As soon as I put in a fresh cartridge, it was 
detected and installed.

I know it's likely to be different with a HP-5L, but it might be a pointer?

If your win slice is >8G, you probably are. You should shrink it. Boot
areas of both Windows and FreeBSD (part of win and FreeBSD root) should
fit into the first 8G for BootEasy to work.

different types of ftp proxy?

[Zhang Weiwu]

Hello. My friend have a Windows XP box running acfp proxy server (an 
opensource proxy server on sourceforge) which provide me http and ftp 
proxy both at the port 3130. I use it with Mozilla. Works fine for both 
http and ftp access.

But I cannot use it with fetch(1). I set the http_proxy and ftp_proxy 
environment variables (value=192.168.0.1:3130), but only http access 
through the proxy succeed. Is fetch(1) using ftp_proxy in a different 
way than Mozilla?

FreeBSD 5.1; max amount of memory

[anton menshutin]

I have wrote a program that needs a lot of memory. But the reason is that it doesn't 
need a lot of physical RAM simultaneously, and system swapping is a good solution and 
it should work well. 
Previously i was using 4.7-RELEASE, but it seems that it can't work with big enought  
address space. Init don't want to work with such options in kernel config :
options MAXDSIZ="(2048*1024*1024)"
options MAXSSIZ="(256*1024*1024)"
options DFLDSIZ="(2048*1024*1024)".
Application could not allocate more than 1G of memory.
That's why I try to use the 5.1. 

But under this version of system my program works even worse.
Here what the program says after I have set additional options to malloc:
dla in malloc(): error: out of memory
And this is a vmstat listing at the end of execution:
procs  memory  pagedisks faults  cpu
 r b w avmfre  flt  re  pi  po  fr  sr ad0 ad2   in   sy  cs us sy id

At this stage application is using only 526 Mb of memory. The system is a 2 Athlon SMP 
with 1G of RAM and 2G swap.

Does anybody know what options and where one should set to solve such a problem?
Should I try another version of FreeBSD?

RE: IPFW strange events

[Philip Payne]

Hi Chris,

The net address and subnet mask combination that is 96.0.0.0/3 covers the
range 96.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255.

You are therefore blocking all traffic to the localhost address (127.0.0.0)

Now, I'm a networking bloke not an MIS person but I would assume this is BAD
as services/apps on your machine would want to use this address.

What you need to do is have a rule ahead of this specifying:
   allow all from any to any via lo0

If you need a tool to help visualising firewall policy I would recommend
/usr/ports/security/fwbuilder. It needs a bit of a hack to make NAT work
which I've posted previously to this list.

Thanks,
Phil.

Well, 72GByte in the manufacturer's notation which is decimal.
So your disk has 72 * 10^3^3 (= 72'000'000'000) Bytes.
freeBSD works - like every other OS i know - not decimal but dual.
Therefor the disk has 67.055225 * 2^10^3 (= 72'000'000'000) Bytes.

Here we have our 67GiByte disk without the 2GiByte Swap, and a little
bit of unused space due to Sector 63 thingies.
So da0s1a ends up having 64GiByte of which iirc 8-10% are reserved and
used for filesystem optimizations. Makes 57GiByte available with 3% (or
1.8Gi) being used.

So everything is there, it's just a little math. And yes, it's quite
a pain in the ass, but you will get used to it ;]

Can someone explain to me what I could be missing here, because what
I am seeing isn't what I expect. Perhaps it's just right while I am
the dumb one. Why isn't the whole size reported?
[...]

first of all, a "72GB harddisk" isn't actually a 72GB harddisk; this might
sound funny, but harddisk manufacturers are engineering people and they
are usually thinking in terms of 1000s
(see http://www.seagate.com/support/kb/disc/bytes.html)
so your disk actually only holds 720 bytes (~69GB) ...
which is perfectly consistent with your fdisk output.
further, reading tunefs(8) you will find, that per default your filesystem
reserves some space (8%) for root ...
: -m minfree
: Specify the percentage of space held back from normal users; the
: minimum free space threshold.  The default value used is 8%.
.. subtracting 8% from the remaining 69GB roughly gives 64GB.

so your disk is just fine.

alex.

Re: How does FreeBSD calculate disk sizes

[andi payn]

I think this is (mostly) a GiB vs. GB confusion.

In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's some background
(if you do, skip the next paragraph):

Giga is the metric prefix meaning billion (or thousand million, if
you're British)--that is, 10^9. Computer people tend to use it to mean
2^30, which is actually 1.073741824 * 10^9. However, hard disk
manufacturers use the metric meaning. So, a hard disk maker's GB is 7%
bigger than the rest of the computer industry's GB. To clear up the
confusion, the standards people decided that from now on you're supposed
to use GiB to mean 2^30 (and MiB for 2^20, KiB for 2^10,
etc.--pronounced "gibibyte," "mibibyte," "kibibyte," etc.). And so far,
just about nobody has listened

So, when fdisk says 69460MB, it means 69460 * 2^20, which is
72,834,088,960 bytes. When your disk manufacturer says 72GB, they mean
72,000,000,000 bytes. (They've given you 834MB for free. How nice.)

Meanwhile, when df says your partition is 64GB, it means 64 * 2^30. And
your 2GB swap is, similarly, 2 * 2^30. Do the math:

64 * 2^30 = 68,719,476,736
 2 * 2^30 =  2,147,483,648
--
70,866,960,384

In other words, you're not missing 6GB.

As for the rest of it:

> sucks# disklabel -n da0s1a

da0s1a is a partition, not a slice. You're asking it for the partitions
within a partition; it's bound to get confused. Try this:

# disklabel -n da0s1

(without the a)

But not so bad that you haven't done it on your other systems, right?

And then there's Parv, suggestor of mutt, whose mail contains no
agent/mailer header. IIRC, mutt defaults to adding "X-Mail-Agent: mutt"
but I'm sure it can be configured to put anything else, or nothing at
all--and I doubt many modern mutt users leave the defaults alone. So
I'll assume he's using mutt.

To answer Parv's question, why not use mutt? Well, I can't speak for
anyone else, but for me, it's because, despite the advertising, mutt is
not nearly ELM-like enough--at least not after spending so many years
using ELM, much of that over 300 baud connections, so that any deviation
throws off my finger-memory. It'd be easier for me to switch to dvorak
than mutt. And the fact that more than half the keystrokes are only
documented in the manual, outside the software, doesn't help. I really
did try, because I realized that otherwise I'd have to go to a graphical
MUA or I'd be stuck with elm for life (which means no MIME, no security,
no online IMAP...). Eventually, I decided to go to a graphical MUA. And,
a few years later, Evolution 1.4 came out, and now I have one I can use
happily.

How does FreeBSD calculate disk sizes

[Odhiambo Washington]

Hello users,

I have a disk which is actually 72GB. 2GB has been used as swap while
the rest was given to /.

Can someone explain to me what I could be missing here, because what
I am seeing isn't what I expect. Perhaps it's just right while I am
the dumb one. Why isn't the whole size reported?


sucks# uname -nmr
sucks.wananchi.com 5.1-RELEASE-p10 i386

sucks# df -h
FilesystemSize   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a64G   1.8G57G 3%/
devfs 1.0K   1.0K 0B   100%/dev


Here is what the partition editor shows:


Disk name:  da0FDISK Partition Editor
DISK Geometry:  8855 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 142255575 sectors (69460MB)

Offset   Size(ST)End Name  PType   Desc  SubtypeFlags

 0 63 62- 12 unused0
63  142255512  142255574da0s1  8freebsd  165
 142255575   8425  142263999- 12 unused0 



And disklabel shows this:



sucks# disklabel -n da0s1a
# /dev/da0s1a:
8 partitions:
#size   offsetfstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a: 138255512   634.2BSD 2048 16384 28552 
  b:  400 138255575  swap
  c: 142255512   63unused0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit
partition a: partition extends past end of unit
partition b: offset past end of unit
partition b: partition extends past end of unit
partition c: partition extends past end of unit
disklabel: partition c doesn't start at 0!
disklabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit!
disklabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities


Some expert explanation would help clear my ignorance!

Thank you.

Samba drives me nuts XP is slow to crawl with it

[Gabriel Ambuehl]

I have a two IBM Thinkpads running XP Pro who should access a
Samba machine (3.0.0 on STABLE), one of them can do that perfectly,
the other gets about 100kb/s connection. Between each other, the work
at full speed and if I have the server mount shares from the Thinkpad,
it's fast as well. People on the net suggest deactivating webclient
service which I did, to no avail. Has anyone got any other pointers?

I think you need:
 UseLogin yes
in /etc/sshd_config at the far end.
