Promise Fastrak ATA RAID 1 rebuild failed

[Michael Shafae]

Hi,

I have an intel motherboard, s845wd1, with an onboard Promise Fastrak 
ATA RAID. Its running 4.8p10 on two mirrored Seagate 80 GB disks. It 
lost the mirror reporting this:
ad6: hard error reading fsbn 140018943 of 0-127 (ad6 bn 140018943; cn 
138907 tn
10 sn 57) trying PIO mode
ad6: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode
ad6: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode
ad6: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode
ad6: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode
ad6: hard error reading fsbn 140019007 of 0-127 (ad6 bn 140019007; cn 
138907 tn
11 sn 58) status=59 error=00
ar0: WARNING - mirror lost

So following the handbooks steps at 
 I 
detached channel 3 (which has ad6), attached channel 3 and then 
`atacontrol rebuild ar0`. An hour later it died with this message at 
the prompt:

# atacontrol rebuild ar0
atacontrol: ioctl(ATARAIDREBUILD): Input/output error
On the console, I saw the following message:
ad4: hard error reading fsbn 75859712 of 0-255 (ad4 bn 75859712; cn 
75257 tn 10 sn 26) trying PIO mode
ad4: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode
ad4: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode
ad4: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode
ad4: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode
ad4: DMA problem fallback to PIO mode
ad4: read error detected (too) late

Running `atacontrol status ar0` returned:
ar0: ATA RAID1 subdisks: ad4 ad6 status: REBUILDING 48% completed
I waited 10 minutes or so and ran the command again and got the same 
output.

I rebooted the system and it came up ok but with these messages on the 
console:
ata0-slave: ATAPI identify retries exceeded
ar0: 76293MB  [9726/255/63] status: DEGRADED subdisks:

If I understand this correctly, ar0 is now basically ad4. ad4 was the 
one that had the read error so ad6 couldn't be rebuilt. ad6 had a 
similar error and that's why the mirror was lost.

I would like to rebuild the mirror, but I don't see how I can do this 
without re-installing the entire system. Has anyone had any similar 
experience or some insight on how I can get out of this bind?

Thanks,

Michael

MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE make.conf variables in 5.x ?

[Nelis Lamprecht]

Hi,

In 4.x you can use variables such as MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE to add in your
local mirrors for the distribution files. Where in 5.x do you put these
? I copied my usual make.conf settings across to a 5.x machine and it
doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks.

I am running 5.2-p2 indeed...
But having a cd in the drive does not help at all, I already tried it.

Re: library/linking problems

Kent,

I did a comparison with a similar box at work and there were two libs 
in /usr/local/lib on my box that weren't on the box at work.  They 
were /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.a and /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.la*.  I did a 
pkg_which on them but no port matches.  I'm not sure how they got there, but 
after moving them out of the way ports starting linking again.  Thanks for 
you help.  ...very much appreciated.

Cheers,

I have some system-level software I want to play with that isn't 
tested to run at later versions, and will probably have problems
at later versions.

I would rather find out what I have to patch and rebuild than upgrade
versions.

Oh, so it doesn't have its own driver...

Is there maybe another testing or probing utililty besides the one in 
/stand/sysinstall?

You should do some more debugging using the sshd -d and ssh -v flags.

Cannot ssh from FreeBSD to Linux

Hello all,

 I am running FreeBSD 5.1 and running Debian Woody stock 2.2.20 kernel.
My ISP is Comcast and each machine has an IP address assigned by DHCP,
from Comcast. 
My problem is: I am unable to ssh to the FreeBSD machine from my Debian

Neither machine can ping each other and neither can hit port 80 on the
other machine. I access the machines via IP address so DNS is not an
issue, at least I don't think so.
Has anyone else experienced an issue like this? Does anyone know where I
may be able to get a resolution.

We need more information than this.  This message alone could mean
that one of your disks is defective, or that some component of the
Vinum array is down.  Take a look at

OK this was all a red herring :o(

The fault turned out to be that in BIOS I had USB support for legacy
KBD/MOUSE/FDD enabled.

Then the installer hung while I had an ATMEL USB development board
plugged in, and also a MGE USB UPS.

So it looks like the install loader hangs on USB devices that are not
generic (USB HP ScanJet 5200C, Aopen optical USB mouse and M$ USB
keyboard are ok)

Installing the 5.2 Boot Loader trashed Win XP, but a rebuild fixed win
XP with no loss of data (but I had the data backed up anyway) and I
installed GAG boot loader so I could dual boot.

Everything seems to be running sweet now :o)

Regards,

Kat.

Fw: ftp problems R4.8

[Graham North]

- Original Message - 
From: Graham North 
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 10:17 PM
Subject: ftp problems R4.8


Help!   I am a newbie who has set up a command line FreeBSD system on an XPI 166 
laptop. 
Most things seem to work okay except the ftp - I have been struggling with this on and 
off for a couple of weeks.   To download some packages I ended up running ncftp and it 
was able to successfully operate but excruciatingly slowly (ie 950secs) for a download 
of about 1MB - I operate on ADSL - go figure.

Both the regular and nc ftp packages seem prone to stalling.   My latest problems 
centre about trying to download some webpage files from another machine (WinXP) 
attached to (and behind) a USR router/firewall (yes the USRobotics firewall is 
enabled) my Freebsd one is not.   The ftp server is filezilla server on the WinXP 
machine.  I was starting with downloading a simple webpage to test apache - two files, 
index.htm and a small (30K) jpeg image.   Index file downloaded quickly, the jpeg 
stalled after 26K - and kept on stalling - same place.   When I tried using ncftp this 
time, it stalled at about 18K.  Things are set up well enough that I am able to 
connect to and navigate the server from my FreeBSD system.
Clearly there must be some basic setting that is incorrect or incompatible - perhaps 
related to my router - but am not too sure.
The only reference which I could find was related to problems with tcp.recvspace being 
set at 56K for 4.8, but it seemed to refer to modem related problems.   In any event I 
was not able to change it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I assume you're running 5.2 p2. I had the same problem and it is solved
by having a cd in the drive while booting. Seems like a known bug and is
being fixed.

FreeBSD 4.9, Apache 2.0.47 and PHP 4.3.3

[Mike Bowie]

All,

I should probably be asking this in an Apache or PHP group, but given that the source 
of the issue seems to be so elusive, I can't point the finger at either just yet so 
I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I have a fresh FreeBSD 4.9 server running at a co-location facility.  I've twiddled 
the kernel a little for firewalling and removed all of the devices not in use.

Once the install was complete, I cvsup'd the ports tree to cvs release, in order to 
have the more recent builds available and installed PostgreSQL, Apache and PHP4 as I 
usually do.  I then went to work preparing the sites to be transferred to the new 
environment.

The problem is, every now and then, (generally after Apache has been running for about 
an hour, but sometime after only a few minutes,) Apache stops parsing the files as PHP 
and starts serving them unparsed as application/x-httpd-php, which obviously doesn't 
go over well.

When it started to happen, I first blamed my rather sleek httpd.conf, which I use on 
about four other servers as it is... without fault.  So I setup my virtual host 
entries etc in the default httpd.conf and went back to porting the sites.

It happened  again... so I blamed the PHP module, so I rebuilt it again with only the 
default options, minus mysql and plus postgresql.  Same result.  
So I reverted back to the original ports tree which shipped with 4.9 and rebuilt PHP 
again.  Same result.
I then rebuilt Apache from the original 4.9 ports tree and PHP again to match... same 
result.

It's almost like PHP is core dumping somewhere... without warning or notice.  I can't 
seem to get anything special to come out in the logs, even when I run "httpd -e debug 
-X" it happens and doesn't tell me anything.

The most frustrating thing is the lack of knowing where to begin.  Without anything 
returning an error, I'm stumped.  Any suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks in advance,

Mike.

ps... I'd attach my whole httpd.conf and php.ini, but the problem presents itself even 
when I use the stock versions from the ports installations.

Re: how to make psybnc

the psybnc port is in /usr/ports/irc/psybnc. Assuming the ports collection is 
installed on your system, just cd to
that directory and issue the command `make install' as root, which will start to 
install it.

If you don't have the ports collection installed, then mount your install cd and 
install it (using /stand/sysinstall, or goto the ports directory and use the install 
script for it.

Sorry for the quick post before everyone.  Turns out that the problem

That's superfluous, because gcc already uses all available opcodes
when you tell it to optimize for your CPU type with CPUTYPE=athlon-xp.
Using -O2 is recommended against, though - see the sample make.conf
file.

FreeBSD 4.9: Server Works GCSL --> unknown chipset

[Benjamin Thelen (CCGIS)]

Hello list,

First off, the environment:

FreeBSD 4.9 RELEASE,
Intel P4 3GH with HTT enabled
Mainboard ASUS NRL-L533
North Bridge: ServerWorks CMIC-SL
South Bridge: ServerWorks CSB6


I checked google and the mailing list archive but couldn't find helpful 
(for me) information on this.

A client brought us a server to install FreeBSD 4.9 on it, but the 
chipset isn't recognized by the system. I had to disable DMA in the BIOS 
to get FreeBSD booting off the IDE-HDD. I then read the Hardware Release 
notes (I know, it's too late):

FreeBSD 4.9: ServerWorks CSB5 ATA66/ATA100
FreeBSD 5.2: ServerWorks CSB5 and CSB6 ATA66/ATA10
According to this, it is the only way to install 5.2? Would 4.9-stable 
recognize the chipset? Is that lack fundamental to the whole system or 
would it suffice to just buy a new IDE-Controller?

I was so happy to have our client conviced of FreeBSD, that it would be 
a pity, if that faild now.

Thanks very much in advance,
Benjamin

'__restrict' is a macro that expands to either 'restrict' if the
compiler used supports that keyword, or to the empty string otherwise.

'restrict' is a standard C keyword since 1999, and is essentially used
to inform the compiler that two pointers don't alias each other and
that the compiler is therefore free to perform certain optimizations
that otherwise might not be legal.
It is just a hint to the compiler, and can always be removed (but not
necessarily added) without changing the semantics of a program.

Any C book that covers C99 should contain a more complete explanation.

Migrating data will be problematic as there's lot of user cr*p and custom

As I'm really only after a stable implementation of a USB external drive

Yes, more space is used in the root filesystem for 5.x.  [For

That's definitely the way to go if possible; there are a number of
advantagious new features that will be difficult to take advantage 
of otherwise.

Re: HP jetdirect printer installation

Nothing obvious that has specific support for JetDirect features.
However JetDirect printers work well with just about any Unix printing
software -- either the system supplied lpd(8) or the currently
fashionable CUPS.  If you're using lpd(8), then look at installing the
print/apsfilter port, which add a raft of filters for automatically
translating a number of file formats into postscript for printing.
CUPS has similar functionality, and also supports using PPD files to
provide support for the options provided by your printer.

Cheers,

Matthew

Hi, Chad--

I've got a Shuttle AK31v3 motherboard which does registered+ECC 
memory, which is a single-proc motherboard:

System Mainboard
Manufacturer : HOLCO (Shuttle)
MP Support : No
Model : VT8366-8233
BIOS ID : 04/17/2002-VT8366-8233-6A6LVH2CC-00
Chipset : VIA KT266/A Chipset
Hmm, that must have been a KT266A (versus KT266) feature.

Anyone know of any current AMD Athlon motherboards with chipsets that 
support ECC that are not dual MB?  The KT266A is an older chipset.

The AMD 760 series of chipsets support ECC but you only find these in 
dual motherboards usually.  I have the Gigabyte dual and it seems to 
work great with the Gentoo Linux installed on it (needed it for some 
specialized Java stuff) and I also have some Tyan Tiger MP (not MPX) 
and they run great with FreeBSD.

Thanks

RE: Manuals?

[JJB]

Replace sendmail with postfix and your email server world will
become much simpler. Sendmail is an legacy email server application
which uses macros and compiles to configure it's self. A real pain
in the butt. Postfix is configured with text files and no compiling.
Sendmail has an thick manual you have to buy from book store,
postfix has simple online manual. After 5 years fighting sendmail I
went to postfix and could kick my self for ever going with sendmail
in the first place.

How about them optimizations?

[Roop Nanuwa]

Part of my current /etc/make.conf on my 5.2-CURRENT box looks like:

CPUTYPE= athlon-xp
CFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse
COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe
Now what I'm wondering is if those extras like mmmx msse actually do 
anything. The
only reason they're in there is because I saw them on a website about 
what people
use to optimize gentoo. I had nothing better to do so I recompiled the 
world with
them. I didn't really notice anything good or bad happening after that. 
I did have
to mess around with a couple of makefiles to get around the 
strict-aliasing problem
that O2 introduces. Besides that, though, are there any advantages or 
disadvantages
to compiling with those optimizations and switches?

Does -mfpmath=sse actually do anything relevent for the FreeBSD world? I 
know
what the GCC manual says about it but I'd rather hear some real world info.

An enquiring mind wants to know.

That's something to do with the quoted-printable MIME type used in the
body of many e-mails.  See RFC 2045, section 6.7 at, eg:

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2045.html

However, your mail client should translate those character escapes
back to normal text before displaying it -- perhaps you're seeing the
escapes in some messages because those messages don't have the correct
MIME type in the headers?

mtree is great for this.  Run "mtree -k sha1digest,time,size -c -p /etc", 
save the output to a secure location, and run "mtree -p /etc < mtree.txt" 
later to verify timestamps and checksums.  Although it's mainly for
self-verification.  I suppose you could run it against the live cdrom.

The checksums are available for the ISOs on the FreeBSd site

To quote /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC:

#To statically compile in device wiring instead of /boot/device.hints
#hints  "GENERIC.hints" #Default places to look for
#devices.


The disadvantage of this approach is that you cannot change any hints
after you have compiled the kernel, unless you compile again everytime
you change one of the hints... 
I'm not sure this is a wise thing to do, but as you see, it's perfectly
possible. =) If your device-hints aren't like to change it's quite safe,
but I don't think your system's going to boot faster or something like
that.
Anyway, just write all of your device-hints to a file of your choice and
add
---
hints   "your_device_hints.hints"
---
to your kernel-config, "make kernel", reboot and enjoy. =)

I'm not entirely sure, but to be on the safe side, you probably place
the hints-file in the folder of your kernel-config
(/usr/src/sys//conf).

Options for a New Kernel

I am still trying to learn how FreeBSD works. Can I create a new kernel file with the 
following entries or are they just for use in the loader.conf file?

hint.acpi.0.disabled=0  # enable ACPI (i386 only)
hw.ata.ata_dma=1 # enable  IDE DMA
hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 # enable ATAPI/IDE DMA
hw.ata.wc=1# enable  IDE disk write cache
hw.eisa_slots=0# disable probing for EISA devices

If I can place them in the kernel file, what would be the correct syntax to use, and 
where in the file should I place it? Would I have to do anything else special before 
compiling the kernel?

Well, since that would be a lot of mucking through text files, Perl

Hmmm.   Could go either way on those.  Most of our backup stuff is
in either sh because it is not very complicated or C because it needs

installing 5.2 for AMD 64

[Pete Molina]

good day..   i guess this is a stupid question...   i have been using freebsd  
5.1... and im just getting into the AMD64 chips..  i noticed that the AMD64 
versions of 5.1 or 5.2 only have the boot only ISO..  the disk2 ISO and the 
mininst ISO..  my question is how do you install the 64 bit version..? 5.1 
and 5.2 for 386 has a disk1 which i use to boot and start the install..  but 
for the life of me i can;t figure out how to get the 64bit versions 
installed..

thanks for any help anyone can offer

Check the syntax for the .htaccess files in the httpd.conf file.  This is a 
file that must be non-readable by regular users via php, but apache has a 
filter written within the httpd.conf file to disallow access.  I know it's

Yes, I've looked at this.  However, I want to use userdir=public_html
for serving PHP from people's public_html dir in their home dir.

  This doesn't seem compatible with open_basedir
(open_basedir=/home/*/public_html doesn't work) and I can't find any
other way to do it.

Probably the two main things to consider are what type of processing
you will be doing and how much it will be used.

Perl is great for text processing - grabbing things out of text
streams, mashing it around, creating easily searched and manipulated 
tables of that sort of stuff.   It is not really so good at anything
that needs a lot of floating point number crunching.

Perl handles CGIs for web stuff pretty well unless you are getting
thousands of hits on something.  Then it can be a little slow.
Or, if it involves talking to a database, maybe you would prefer PHP
for that part of things.

Perl is good for scripts that get used now and then.  But, it is
kind of big so if the script is likely to be used a lot - every
second or so, then you will want to use something leaner.  Probably
either sh or even write it in C.

Some people crab about Perl being less secure, but I think that
is mostly like everything else.  A poorly written script will
be insecure in any language.  A well written script will be more
secure.  Since Perl handles all your data types for you, you do not
have so much of a problem of overrunning buffers, which is where
most cracks develop in the UNIX world.   So, in that sense, Perl
can be more secure than C code.

If you need something that runs in single user mode, then you
will want to use sh for that.

No need for safe_mode, set
php_admin_value open_basedir "/www/dir/to/user/"
in your vhost config, add if desired /tmp/phpupload/:/tmp/phpsession/
suphp doesn't work with mod_php AFAIR
Keep in mind: users (CGI scripts as well) can still browse into other user
directories unless you force them into one group (e.g. users), home to 705
and use SuEXEC.

Your own experience ;) 

sh is more portable, you will find it on almost every *nix; you will have to learn 
about it to understand
various scripts from the base system like (/usr/local)etc/rc.d/*;
make(1) has a very similar syntax.

perl on the other hand is more powerful and you have a lot of modules (CPAN).

You will end up knowing both, probably.

Have a look at /usr/ports/www/suphp - be warned though, last time I
looked at it the checks it uses to ensure UID 0 scripts aren't executed
did not work correctly on FreeBSD.

One slightly more complicated option is to rearrange your user/group
permissions on a server-wide basis - there's a detailed description in
this post:

All you can do really is store the passwords themselves in an include

webspace. But I imagine you have this covered.
   

Yeah, but this is really security through obscurity, not something I'm
keen on ;)
 

That's kind of what we're talking about here, though. Keeping a file's 
contents inaccessible.

 

Is there any way I can have a script that is not readable by a user,
while still allowing that user to execute it?  Maybe through using a
wrapper of some sort?  I do not have UFS2 so I cannot use ACLs.
 

Not that I know of, but have you considered compiling apache with 
suexec? Assuming your other users have seperate logins, this might work. 
You can have apache execute scripts as the appropriate user, not www. 
That way, a 700 permission should prevent other users from reading your 
scripts.
   

I read some stuff about this.  I got the impression it required using
PHP as a CGI, instead of mod_php.  Am I wrong in thinking this? 

Yes, you can use mod_php with suexec. Makes most sense with virtual 
hosts, because each host must run as a single user.

my system can't seem to connect.

In the handbook, you could use /stand/sysinstall. But
if I do that, what files under /usr/ports do I have to
backup (like /usr/ports/distfile for instance..)
Will that work? If I just use /stand/sysinstall to

I read some stuff about this.  I got the impression it required using
PHP as a CGI, instead of mod_php.  Am I wrong in thinking this?  The
overhead of using PHP as CGI is a little too high because the server is
already pretty stretched...

  Thanks very much,

Sorry man wish I could help out more.   FWIW I searched for 'sis 7012'

Choosing between sh and perl for system scripts

deactivate slave on first IDE

[Antoine Jacoutot]

Hi :)

Since my system doesn't boot when my cdrom is plugged in (it hangs after 
timecounter... ; see my previous post), I was wondering if it was possible to 
tell FreeBSD not to "deal" with IDE1-slave (something like "boot -noide2)...
Indeed, in my bios, I set the IDE1-slave to none, but FreeBSD keeps hanging on 
bootup.

Thanks for any hints.

Well, since it's an interpreted script (it's some standalone PHP) in
order to execute it, the user must be able to read it.  Since the script
holds passwds that means that any user with the ability to run it can
get the passwds (in my case to access my MySQL server).

  This is a ``flaw'' with the way Apache works because everything Apache
executes must be +rw for the Apache user (www).  As a result any person
able to write PHP code (all of my users) can read anything that the
Apache user can, because mod_php executes as the Apache user.

  There are security features in PHP (safe_mode) but these conflict with
a large number of PHP scripts.  I'm trying to work it out this way now
but it's a lot of hassle.

  Thanks for your response,

-lewiz.

Why would the script be readable or writeable by any user?  
It only needs to be executable, right?

Check how Apache normally deals with this; I haven't used the auth
module, but I can't believe that it requires insecure practices...

Yes, I've seen all those google posts before asking here, BUT:
- I compiled net-snmp from the ports collection
- the latest port is from January 2nd, so I guess someone would have caught 
this problem before me if it was specifically FreeBSD/port related.

Obviously, there's something wrong on my box...
I'll try to give more information soon.

Provided it doesn't get set explicitly by a 'ulimit' or 'limit' command

Not entirely sure, but try and unload the kernel modules for nfs, a these may be 
loaded, or
if its built into your kernel (most likley if you're still using a GENERIC kernel) you 
could take out the options for NFS in your kernel config and rebuilding.

Hm...it looks like you may already have snmp running, or at least

Try running "sockstat | grep 161" and posting the results.

Also, a quick Google for "snmp specified endpoint" turns up a fair
number of newsgroup messages; some seem to suggest that there may be
problems with the very latest version of net-snmpd.  By any chance, are
you compiling a very recent version?

Yes, more space is used in the root filesystem for 5.x.  [For

I run 5.2.1-REL. Here are some differences:

4.x: kernel and modules reside in /kernel and /modules, there's a /standl 
around

5.x: kernel and modules reside in /boot/kernel, there's a /rescue replacing 
the old /stand (sysinstall in /usr/sbin now)

So, if you delete old 4.x kernel(s) and modules and nuke /stand if you don't 
want it anymore you should probably be able to free some space. 5.x also uses 
somewhat more space in / but the difference isn't that much:
   
Filesystem   1K-blocksUsedAvail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 253678   54124   17926023%/

most of this is in /boot:

%du /boot
18  /boot/defaults
16586   /boot/kernel
1732/boot/modules <-- appears that the nvidia module sits here, weird..
16602   /boot/kernel.old

Re: FreeBSD on Laptop

hi kris,

i was in the process of upgrading my kernel from 5.0 Release to 5.2 (on my
laptop) and it won't boot. my boss gave me these instructions:

#cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui && make all install clean
#cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile /etc/stable-supfile
change default host -> cvsup10 or cvsup13
#rm -rf /usr/src
#cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/stable-supfile
#cd /usr/src && make world
#make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
#make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
#reboot

when it boots up, wait for it to pause and press ESC "boot -s"
>>this is where it stops<<-

#cd /usr
#fsck -p
#mount -u /
#mount -a
#cd /usr/src
#adjkerntz -i
#mergemaster -p
#make installworld
#mergemaster
press "yes" and press "i" whenever it prompted you
repeat ur steps
#mergemaster -p
try to press "no" if there is a yes/no something
just press the letter "i"
delete what is left of /var/tmp/temproot
#reboot

when it stops up, the messages from the boot script end like this:

pccard: card removed, slot 1
pccard: card inserted, slot 1


i traced the problem to the pcic device(pc card duh!) and i want to
disable it. How can i do this?

i tried unset but cant get it to work.
tried
   unset pcic0
   unset hints.pcic
   unset pcic1 (although it was disabled na)
also i tried
unload
boot kernel.old
that didnt work.

i got to this point after TONS of reboots and searching thru man pages on
the devices show() says.

Framebuffer support?

[Christian]

Hello all,

Just wondering if FreeBSD's later versions will have framebuffer support at
boot.
If not, has it been considered already? Would be a nice tweak if it did.

Best of luck,

Christian

Re: cvsup gets connection refused

[James Gallagher]

Hi Carl,

Just out of curiosity, do you have a firewall between your BSD box and 
the cvs server you're trying to connect to? Alternatively, have you 
tested another cvs server? The reason I ask about the firewall is that 
I had a similar problem recently which turned out to be a particular 
port being blocked. I can look back and see what it was if you think 
it's relevant. It's the only thing I can think of right now.

Where can I configure to use an anonymous userid or is there another 
way to solve this.

Thanks,

disabling nfs in 5.2R-p2 ?

[Nelis Lamprecht]

Hi,

Out of curiosity how do you disable local NFS asynchronous I/O server/s
in 5.2 ?

I thought a simple..

nfs_server_enable="NO"
nfs_client_enable="NO"

in rc.conf would disable it completely but after rebooting I still see:

guardian# ps -aux | grep nfs
root 97  0.0  0.0 0   12  ??  IL3:39PM   0:00.00  (nfsiod 0)
root 98  0.0  0.0 0   12  ??  IL3:39PM   0:00.00  (nfsiod 1)
root 99  0.0  0.0 0   12  ??  IL3:39PM   0:00.00  (nfsiod 2)
root100  0.0  0.0 0   12  ??  IL3:39PM   0:00.00  (nfsiod 3)

thanks.

Can you download and try 5.2-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso?

We'll see if there's a difference - if so, then it lies with the iso image (did you 
check the md5sum before burning?).

And there's nothing about this specific to bash, either; on any shell,
producing output 
 from the startup scripts 
 in a non-interactive shell 
WILL break the scp and rcp commands.

The freebsd documentation team invests a lot of work on writing
an excellent online handbook and FAQ collection, which should
answer all kinds of basic and advanced questions.

You will find them on
www.freebsd.org/handbook
and
www.freebsd.org/doc/faq

Uli.

Re: Out of memory and inactive memory

I'm running Zope under FreeBSD 4. Zope keeps getting memory errors, i.e.

inactive memory is only kept around in case it is needed again and should be
given to a process needing it. So why does Zope fail here?
Do you happen to have a per-process data size limit?  What does

  ulimit -a

or

  limit

show?  The former is for sh or bash, the latter for csh or tcsh.
