Re: Installing a new system....

Connecting to a Headless machine, after install
I have setup a headless machine via a null modem cable. Instalation went fine. The only problem now, is connecting to the machine after the install. When I #cu -l /dev/cuaao/ I see the boot process, but it gets to the date prompt but doesn't show the login: i did install ssh, but won't let me login with the password I set for root. Any other methods for connecting? This system is connected in my local network, with a firewall protecting my systems. - i am not running xserver on this system Any comments welcomed.

I've looked through /usr/ports/sysutils, and didn't see anything that caught my eye. Perhaps if you explained in more detail what plod does, someone might be able to suggest something. PLOD is a tool designed to help administrators (and others) keep track of their daily activities. Since your management will typically have no idea what you are doing to justify such an exorbitant salary (any amount of money they may be paying you being classified as exorbitant), and since most people forget what they do themselves, it's good to keep a record. Trot your logs out around performance review time, and show them to your management (after suitable sanitization) on a regular basis. The interface is designed to make it quick to dash off a simple note to yourself. Since most folks who are going to use PLOD also use email, I've based the interface on Berkeley mail-- tilde escapes and all (for a list of escapes, try ~h or ~?). By default, your logs will be encrypted using the /bin/crypt command-- not secure in the least, but marginally safe from casual browsing (I tend to vent into my logs sometimes rather than at those who might be offended and fire me). You can turn off the encryption if you find it more a hassle than a comfort. Why not just use plod then? It works fine under both FreeBSD and Linux.

Problem with FreeBSD 4.8, ipf, ipfnat and forwarding for pcAnywhere
This shouldn't be that hard, but I can't get it working. I have a FreeBSD firewall with three NICs (Internet, LAN, DMZ). I have bridging enabled between the Internet and DMZ interfaces. I now have an internal computer (LAN) that needs to be accessible via pcAnywhere. I can telnet to the pcAnywhere ports on the internal computer fine from the firewall or the LAN. So that works. However, when I configured ipnat to forward my pcAnywhere ports a telnet from the Internet just stalls. My ipnat configuration: # cat /etc/ipnat.conf (xl0 = internet, xl1 = lan, xl2 = dmz) # pcAnywhere # normal nat for office disabled - this is all i have in ipnat.conf rdr xl0 public-ip/32 port 5631 - 192.168.99.9 port 5631 rdr xl0 public-ip/32 port 5632 - 192.168.99.9 port 5632 And I am allowing in accessing via ipf: pass in quick proto tcp from any to public-ip port = 5631 group 200 pass in quick proto udp from any to public-ip port = 5631 group 200 pass in quick proto tcp from any to public-ip port = 5632 group 200 pass in quick proto udp from any to public-ip port = 5632 group 200 (If I take these out I see the ipmon block messages, but with these they go away, so it's not ipf I don't think.)

You can't build against it, while a newer version is installed by a port. Please deinstall the port or undefine WITH_OPENSSL_BASE. Since I obviously don't want to do the first option, how would I go about doing the 2nd option? Where do you undefine WITH_OPENSSL_BASE?? It's undefined by default, but if you'ld defined it you have put the definition into /etc/make.conf or /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf WITH_OPENSSL_BASE is a flag for the security/openssl port which causes that port to overwrite the SSL shlibs and applications in the base system. That's not something to do without due care and attention as it can cause various problems. If you need the openssl port (which you probably don't as openssl is in the base system) think first of installing it under /usr/local. In this case, probably all you need to do is: # pkg_delete security/openssl then install portaudit, and then (if you're sure you need it) re-install security/openssl. Be warned: you might have to repeat that whole rigmarole every time an upgrade to portaudit comes out.

Max size of file on ISO filesystem?
I used to think that ISO filesystems were limited to a maximum size of 2 Gb for each file, but now I'm not sure sure. mkisofs from sysutils/mkisofs will not accept files over 2 Gb but the one in syutils/mkisofs-devel will without a problem. So if you install mkisofs-devel you can then use growisofs to make a DVD with a file over 2 Gb on it. The fun starts when you try to read the DVD! On a 4.9 machine, doing a ls -l shows the file size as negative, presumably just the result of using a signed 32-bit quantity to hold the size in bytes. However a 5.1 machine generates an error, something like value too large for data type. I presume this is coming from the iso9660 filesystem layer. So there seems to be a discrepancy between what the latest mkisofs and the latest iso9660 filesystem code regards as acceptable.

Like it says, type a lot of gibberish into the keyboard. One of the places the system can derive randomness from is the time interval between key presses. If you're worried about accidentally typing a command and hosing your system, then you can start by doing: # cat /dev/null type arbitrary stuff for a few minutes, and then hit Ctrl-D. Then try re-running passwd(1). Alternatively you can edit /etc/master.passwd using vipw(1) and simply delete the crypttext of the password for the root account. Then boot back into multi user, and immediately log in as root and set a new password.

Setting up FreeBSD-server - space for /usr, swap,...?
Hi, I'm about to set up a server under 4.x (later to be converted to 5.x once it becomes stable).

Mylex RAID management on FreeBSD?
Hello, I haven't been able to find much up-to-date info with Google on this. Is there currently a way to manage a Mylex AcceleRAID in FreeBSD?

Re: Restoring system files from CD
First, check the live filesystem cd to see if the one you want is on there. If not, you'll have to extract the files you want out of the distribution tar files. There are quite a few of them so you'll have to try to figure out which tar file holds the particular file you are interested in. It would be nice if the FreeBSD web site held a master inventory of each tar file and the system files within it, for reference purposes.

bind 8 slow when resolving new domains!
I am having a big problem with slow internal DNS (bind 8 on FreeBSD 4.9).
If we do a query against a local domain (our DNS server is authoratative)
then the response is fast. If we do a query against anything in bind's
cache the resp. is fast. If we do a query for a new non-local domain then
the resp is SLOW or times-out. FYI, we are behind a NetScreen firewall at
a colo. The colo promises it is not them. Also, we are using their two DNS
servers as forwarders.
The colo promises it's not them, but frankly I can't see how it's us.

Re: Restoring system files from CD
You don't have to install the entire OS to another machine if you have a medium to large area on your disk. Mount up the #1 CDROM and then create a scratch directory somewhere on your system. Go to the distribution that you think contains the files you are missing (sounds like base to me) and cat() the install.sh script. You'll see that you can execute the script and send it a DESTINATION argument on the command line. That script will extract that particular distribution to what ever directory you include on the command line. Do you think it is OK to just load the same version of FreeBSD on another machine and then copy over the files I need? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I switched the KVM out with a cheap 2 port Hawking unit and it worked fine. 2) We have a Compaq KVM (a very expensive rack-mountable server class unit). It works great, or so we thought. The other day, we swapped out a two button mouse with a wheel-mouse. Guess what? Doesn't work at all. The mouse is fine, it just won't work through the expensive Compaq KVM. Are you using Compaq hardware at all? Maybe that is your problem :) Another thing to mention... When you are booting your FreeBSD box, make sure you are switched to that box and watch it boot.

Stop. in installworld (4.9)
Hi,
Upon trying to upgrade a 4.9 system to the most recent version I ended
up with a Stop. during make installworld.
Here's what I did:
cvsup ... stable-supfile
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=... (Kernel-config-file below)
make installkernel KERNCONF=...
reboot to single-mode (no errors booting with the new kernel)
mergemaster -p
cd /usr/src
make installworld
Installworld ends with a Stop. (see below).
Anybody else already seen this?
What can I do against it?
BTW, cvsup-ing again about an hour later didn't help.
TIA for your help,
-ewald
PS: I'm including the full text of the error message as well as my
kernel config and the /var/log/messages below.

Re: Restoring system files from CD
On Thu, 2004-05-06 at 11:27, Incoming Mail List wrote: You don't have to install the entire OS to another machine if you have a medium to large area on your disk. Mount up the #1 CDROM and then create a scratch directory somewhere on your system. Go to the distribution that you think contains the files you are missing (sounds like base to me) and cat() the install.sh script. You'll see that you can execute the script and send it a DESTINATION argument on the command line. That script will extract that particular distribution to what ever directory you include on the command line. Thanks, works great. But not all are system files. Like I said, a deinstall of the Heimdal port after setting HEIMDAL_HOME to /usr seems to have taken out this list of files below. The only ones I have seen an immediate need for so far are /usr/bin/su and /usr/bin/login, but I'm sure more are needed. Most or all of the bin/ files I'm sure I will need and hope to find in the 'base'. Do you think I should restore all of the files listed? And how can I determine the location of the other files on the CD that are not in 'base'?

When ever touch gets involved in an installworld, your computer's clock

clock to the proper time and rebuild your world and then try the

Re: Restoring system files from CD
I'm not familiar with the heimdal port. If you've got the list of files that it touches, you can write a small shell program to check if all those files are on the system or not. Based upon your description of the port and the fact you have reinstalled it, I suspect you've got the files you need. Do you think I should restore all of the files listed? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Netfinity 5000 and 5.2.1-RELEASE
Hello! Earlier today, I wrote: So, I'm trying to install 5.2.1 on IBM Netfinity 5000 and I'm not having much luck. Before going into great technical detail (ha!) and frustrating stories of my failures, I just thought to ask, is anyone at all running this combination successfully? I can now report that it's working. At least so far. The key to success was a tip I found after digging the IBM website - to make sure in BIOS setup that *both* Planar SCSI INTA and Planar SCSI INTB are routed to IRQ15 and none of the adapters in any of the PCI slots are routed to IRQ15. In my case I only had to change Planar SCSI INTB from IRQ11 (Automatic) to 15 and the system is now happily humming along with the minimal install that I had somehow actually managed to complete even before posting my original message. I haven't done any real stress-testing yet but at least I'm past the stage where the system could consistently be forced to reboot by running top :-) I hope this piece of information saves someone some grief. Other notes: 1. I need to boot with ACPI disabled, otherwise the boot process never completes (freezes hard after the line 'Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec', even NumLock key doesn't work). 2. The server's IDE CD-ROM (LG CRD-8400B) doesn't seem to be detected by the FeeBSD 5.2.1 install CD. When booting from the install CD, dmesg lists two IDE channels, but doesn't list the CD-ROM device, and later in the install process when you try to select CD/DVD as the install medium, you get a message that no CD/DVD drives were found. I ended up attaching an old SCSI CD-ROM to server's integrated AIC7895 controller and could successfully install from that. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Laughing stock: cattle with a sense of humor. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: KVM Switches
Does your mouse exhibit the behavior of spitting out sync errors from the console and sticking in the upper corner of your monitor? I had this exact problem with an Intellimouse Optical and an Apex Outlook KVM. There seems to be an issue with most KVMs not passing the protocol correctly when being switched, and psm has issues resyncing. I finally resolved the issue by adding the following flags to my device hints file for my specific kernel: hint.psm.0.flags=0x100 I then enabled device hints in my kernel conf: hints mycustomkernel.hints I recompiled my kernel and have had no problems since. My mouse now works great between my FreeBSD server and my Linux Workstation on the Apex KVM. Hope this helps.

These seem to be the most common problems with FreeBSD hanging. I know none of them have much to do with FreeBSD, but that's just the statistical reality of it. If the answer to #1 indicates an issue with this particular machine, it could still be a problem with FreeBSD on that particular hardware. #4 is a rarity, but I've seen crappy power cause weird problems. Undersized power supplies can cause similar problems. so i should try running with it off the UPS? the power supply should be ok. fwiw, the coworker who also gets hangs is *not* on a UPS. it could be a building power weirdness (which is why i plugged into the UPS to begin with)... would rebuilding the kernel with INVARIANTS or WITNESS help at all? thanks. patrick ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

segmentation fault-- is my array too long?
Hello,
This short program below represents a problem I am having with
segmentation faults in a much larger C program that has numerous
arrays. Seems as though when I increase the number of elements in an
array (here, for example, beyond 130,000) a seg fault occurs.
Any idea on what I should change to make the program run with large
numbers of elements in my arrays?
Thanks.

Interpreting `pkgdb -F' output
I've run `pkgdb -F' prior to using portupgrade to update some ports. The

The manpage doesn't offer any explanation and I can't find anything else

That usually means that you don't have the port it want to link to

Re: athlon-mp daily hang 5.2.1
What I can say to this problem is : - I've open a bug report : 66098 mainly for the same reason : I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1 patch 5 with a fresh build world (it took me 3 days to have world since gcc was hanging the machine all 5 minutes approximatly) on an SMP machine with two PIII 733 and a BIOS compatible SMP 1.4 specs (the motherboard is an MSI board) with feature like PM enable and APIC enable. The first think I face out was when I shutdown the machine shutdown -h or -r my machine hangs at stopping .. vnlru stopped after nothing I 've seen that this allways hang when boot() is called on cpu1 and that when sometime when boot is called from cpu0 my machine can stop or reboot correctly. But boot on cpu1 represent 98% of my tests. Some days after, when I was running an heavy compilation, I face out severals machine hangs. So I've started to investigate temperature problem, RAM problem disk, etc... Just to be sure, I've reinstall this machine under Linux with a 2.6 Kernel. No problems. So I come back to FreeBSD from a fresh install and start investigating acpi. Since now 2 weeks, the machine never hangs with just one trick (a bad trick for sure) : acpiconf -d . I've disabled acpi management. I let boot the machine and setting up acpi conf since the acpi.ko module is load at boot time and in the final boot process I disable acpi with this command. May be you could test to see if you experience allways the same problem or if that's solved the problem and report here the problem. I think acpi code witch seems to be recent in FreeBSD have some problem may be due to specific management or bugs of our cheapset : mine is a VIA694. I remember that under Linux it took a long time to have a stable machine with acpi enable (in fact this was stabilize when IBM and Intel provide some code to handle acpi) : acpi code was clean but this was how specs were implemented on cheapset that was breaking code So they had to handle some specific chipset feature ... Another way to test could be to disable PM in Bios for a limited time to know if the problem persist. just my two cents.

Hmm, it's not a brand-name PC that came with Windows pre-installed is
it? If so there may be a hidden recovery/diagnostics partition that is
confusing fdisk.
Do you have anything like OnTrack Disk Manager installed to get round
disk size limitations in the BIOS? Unlikely with a machine that runs
W2K, but I do know someone that installed in on a P-III machine when he
built it, using an old 6.5Gbyte disk, because it came with the disk?
Since you have 2 Windows partitions, you haven't installed any form of
multi-OS boot manager have you? You wouldn't need it with W2K but you
may have had if you had 2 different versions of Win9x on there once over?
Can you post the whole output of `fdisk ad0', it may just give someone a
clue?
and both freebsd show 165.
Which is correct.

That should give you double the default number of inodes. To find out how many files that will allow on the file system, divide the size of the file system by 4096.

Greetings, Caroline.
It could be that your array is too long. I managed to run the program
(straight copy and paste), but it could be that your program isn't
allocated enough memory initially to hold those two huge arrays. I might
be off here, but I think a double is 8 bytes long. That means you're
trying to allocate 2 * 8 * 4 * 150,000 = 9,600,000 B = 9.6 MB of memory
off the heap. Seeing as how you're program is assigned a fixed amount of
memory upon execution (and it seems your program isn't assigned enough),
you sometimes need to allocate memory on the heap if you are to operate
on arrays that big.
malloc() is your friend! :-)
-- double *ncost = malloc(sizeof (double) * persons * scens); --
This ought to do the trick. Just remember to make sure that malloc
returns a valid pointer, otherwise you'll have another seg fault.
I'm pretty sure you can adress the pointer like you do with the array
there (ncost[persons][0], etc...); if not, you can always do
ncost(sizeof(double) * persons + 0), etc...
Hope this helps!

Re: Plod-like tool in ports

PLOD is a tool designed to help administrators (and others) keep track of their daily activities.

Trot your logs out around performance review time, and show them to your management (after suitable sanitization) on a regular basis. The interface is designed to make it quick to dash off a simple note to yourself. Since most folks who are going to use PLOD also use email, I've based the interface on Berkeley mail-- tilde escapes and all (for a list of escapes, try ~h or ~?). By default, your logs will be encrypted using the /bin/crypt command-- not secure in the least, but marginally safe from casual browsing (I tend to vent into my logs sometimes rather than at those who might be offended and fire me). You can turn off the encryption if you find it more a hassle than a comfort. -- Joshua You can't treat the working man this way!

Hello,
This short program below represents a problem I am having with
segmentation faults in a much larger C program that has numerous
arrays. Seems as though when I increase the number of elements in an
array (here, for example, beyond 130,000) a seg fault occurs.
Any idea on what I should change to make the program run with large
numbers of elements in my arrays?
Thanks.

Greetings, Caroline.
It could be that your array is too long. I managed to run the program
(straight copy and paste), but it could be that your program isn't
allocated enough memory initially to hold those two huge arrays. I might
be off here, but I think a double is 8 bytes long. That means you're
trying to allocate 2 * 8 * 4 * 150,000 = 9,600,000 B = 9.6 MB of memory
off the heap. Seeing as how you're program is assigned a fixed amount of
memory upon execution (and it seems your program isn't assigned enough),
you sometimes need to allocate memory on the heap if you are to operate
on arrays that big.
malloc() is your friend! :-)
-- double *ncost = malloc(sizeof (double) * persons * scens); --
This ought to do the trick. Just remember to make sure that malloc
returns a valid pointer, otherwise you'll have another seg fault.
I'm pretty sure you can adress the pointer like you do with the array
there (ncost[persons][0], etc...); if not, you can always do
ncost(sizeof(double) * persons + 0), etc...
/* AMENDMENT!!! */
In my haste, I totally forgot my pointer dereferencing. The correct way
to reference a pointer as a two dimensional array is, of course, thus:
*(ncost + (sizeof(double) * persons) + 0)) = 0.00;
Silly me. Anyway, this should work.
/* END AMMENDMENT */
Hope this helps!
