That'd be stoopid.  No, I'm trying to run a 4.10 kernel with a 4.10
mfsroot.gz.  But nothing happens.  The kernel inflates the mfsroot.gz
into md0, configures itself, and then attempts to mount the
root filesystem on /dev/md0c .  And then that's it.  No further 
messages on the console, no panic, no nothing.

When I run a 4.8 kernel with a 4.8 system, all ok.

When I (accidently) ran the 4.10 kernel with the 4.8 mfsroot.gz,
it ran (marginally), while complaining about things like proc
size mismatch.  But it did come up.

>if i've misunderstand your intention, apologies.

no worries.  My second paragraph may have been unclear ;>

What I'm looking for is 'debug methodologies', ie what can
I do to try and trace where it is falling over.  Assume I'm
limited to printf. Is there any way to enable bizarre 
debugging support in the booting kernel, on a headless, 
embedded device...

Thanks for responding,

Re: mini itx

[heikki soerum]

Personally I'm using an EPIA CL6000 as headless fileserver at the moment
without any problems. No problems with 5.2, allthough with stable 4.8
and 4.9(haven't tried 4.10) I had some problems with the onboard LAN
cards when transfering large amounts of data. (Vr0 Watchdog timeouts) 
allthough, since I use it as an headless I can't really verify that the
videocard works.
Those nettworking problems that I had has gone away in 5.2-Current and
hopefuly they won't come back.

[gateway 4.9] sendto: no buffer space available

[Jacques Beigbeder]

Hello,

Hardware:
PC, 128 Mo, 2 interfaces 3Com 3c905-TX
Software:
4.9, generic kernel; from the initial distribution
no special configuration

Suddenly, this PC acting as a gateway stops forwarding packets,
I was in a hurry so I just noticed that ICMP ping packets failed.
Message on the console:
ping: sendto: no buffer space available

Question 1: is it supposed to be fixed automatically within
a few minutes? This gateway is important in my network...

Question 2: is there some tuning I can do? Here is some output:

Reading a DVD with a scratch

[Cordula's Web]

Hi,

I've got a DVD with a 1.2cm scratch nearly parallel to the track.
This doesn't prevent mounting, and mplayer can play all other
.vob files. The scratch happens to be in the middle of a single .vob
file, so when mplayer reaches it, it freezes and a lot of READ BIG
messages appear on the console (as expected).

Now the question: is there a way to read up to the scratch, seek
forward to skip that region, and then to continue reading? The idea
is to dd as much of the .vob file as possible up to the scratch; skip
(how much? how to find out? reading the file backwards?) then dd
the rest of the file, and cat both parts. The problem probably boils
down to: how can a process detect beginning and end of the scratch,
without freezing in read(2)?

Any ideas how to do it?

Thanks,
-cpghost.

Reading the kdump of your file is interesting, but at the first glance
the only peculiar thing that precedes the failing call is changing
signal handler for sig18, which is a

#define SIGTSTP 18  /* stop signal from tty */

Could this be something?

One more thing I thought of is watch(8)-ing the terminal, redirecting
all output to a file, and then `playing it back' (cat'ting onto another
terminal). If, after that, vi would produce the same results on the new
terminal, then I'd try trimming the output until it can't reproduce the
problem. This way, we could narrow down the problem a bit. 
Unfortunately, I can no longer reproduce the problem:(

FTP server will not initiate DATA connection back to client

[freebsd]

I am running FreeBSD 4.9 RELEASE running the standard ftpd.  I can act as an
ftp client from the console OK, however when I try to ftp from a client PC
to the server running ftpd (which is running ipfw) the ftp server receives
the packet sent to port 21 and replies however it will not initiate a DATA
connection back to the client from port 20.  I had my client configured to
use ACTIVE FTP.  I have also tried PASSIVE without any difference.  I do not
have a firewall on the client and can successfully FTP to another FreeBSD
box.  
None of the rules on my firewall that deny packets coming back from the ftp
servers ipfw firewall are being hit. Does anyone have any ideas?

The problem is that once it has a critical enough issue, I'll not
be able to mount the volume (I'm not 100% sure its /var, I was hoping that
by some way via the LBA I could track back to what filesystem and file it

Re: FTP server will not initiate DATA connection back to client

[User LAFFER1]

Does it work with ipfw disabled?  If so, then it seems resonable that ipfw 
is causing the problem.  One of the ftp modes (pasv or port) requires high 
level ports to be accessible on the server.  I just started drinking 
coffee this moring, so i can't remember which one yet. :)

If i remember right, the default ftpd is influenced by hosts.allow and 
hosts.deny too.

In /etc/services, I see the following lines related to ftp:

ftp-data   20/tcp#File Transfer [Default Data]
ftp-data   20/udp#File Transfer [Default Data]
ftp  21/tcp#File Transfer [Control]
ftp  21/udp#File Transfer [Control]

Are all of these ports open in the firewall?  Sending and receiving?  (I 
don't know if all of the ports are needed or not.)

Best of luck,

Drink faster man! ;)

Do these tests:
1) FTP active mode with firewall enabled
2) FTP active mode with firewall at allow all
3) FTP passive mode with firewall enabled

If 2 & 3 succeed and 1 doesn't ... then it's your firewall.  Other
combinations indicate other problems which may be more complex.

FTP active mode requires that the server can make a connection _back_ to
the client.  This fails over NAT boundries and many different firewall
configs.  Passive mode causes the client to make a _second_ connection to
the server on a high, random port.  This traverses NAT pretty well, but
requires proper rules in the server's packet filter to allow the connections
to succeed.  I believe the man page on ftpd has more detail.  The "random,
high" ports that can be used is configurable.  I believe these two sysctls
control it:
net.inet.ip.portrange.hifirst: 49152
net.inet.ip.portrange.hilast: 65535

All I do with grub is chainload the FreeBSD partition's bootblock.

FreeBSD 4.0 with ipnat/ipfw2 1:1 NAT

[Matt Juszczak]

Hello all,
Was just wondering everyone's opinion on this subject
Got a FreeBSD box ... 2.4 ghz Xeon with 1 gig RAM and two gb nic cards.  
This box's job is to do a 1:1 NAT for about 2000 workstations.

In everyone's opinion, is IPNAT and IPFW2 a good solution for this?  
Also, will that box handle that (I'm pretty sure it will), and if so, 
any security recommendations? (other than custom kernel, local firewall, 
and securelevel 2).

Thanks!
-Matt

mounting

[Brian Henning]

Greetings:

Currently i have 2 drives ad1 (10 gig) and ad2 (10gig) on my bsd system that I would 
like to use for file storage. I want to create a mounting point, /files_area, that 
could treat the two drives as one.  So when I add files to /files_area it treats it 
like one big 20 gig drive.  is this possible? can someone point me to some docs on 
howto do it?

thanks,

Brian

Gigabit Adaptors

[Michael Clark]

After my recent disagreements with the em0 Intel MT adaptor, I have decided
to order something else for my FreeBSD use. 
Anyone have any good suggestions for cards that they prefer to use in 5.x?


Thank you everyone for the suggestions with the em0 card.

Start by studying up on vinum(8).The FreeBSD handbook and man pages
and then some searches should tell you what you need to know.

Also, please break your message lines at abou 70 characters length.
It makes it easier for many of us to read and to make responses.

Here is one that worked for me with FreeBSD on the 4th primary partition.

Re: Booting with Grub (correction)

[Reed L. O'Brien]

I shouldlspecify that  AFAIK
the first listing is the 'old' way which still works and with multiple *BSD
the second is the 'new' way that works with FBSD and maybe OBSD IIRC.

This is for Linux, but it is a project to replace Windows Terminal

rdist problem

[peterp]

Hi,

I'm trying to rdist some files from a FreeBSD 4.9 machine to a new 5.2.1 p9 server. On 
the 5.2.1 server I enabled rsh, added the 4.9 server to root's .rhosts file, and kept 
getting a login denied message. I added the following to the /etc/pam.d/rsh file on 
the 5.2.1 box:

authrequiredpam_nologin.so  no_warn
account requiredpam_unix.so

I can now rsh from the 4.9 box to the 5.2.1 box, but rdist shows the following:

#rdist

I've spent all morning looking at this and have run out of ideas. As part of the same 
rdist file, i'm update 3 other 4.10 server and they work fine.  Does anyone have any 
sugestions? Yes, I know rdist is a little out of date, i've got a bunch of legacy 
stuff and scripts to convert before I can migrate off of rdist.

Thanks

all this talk of opera got me interested so I thought I would go ahead
and install it.

a "make install" of /usr/ports/www/linux-opera seemed to work fine.  I
get this when I try and run it:

Subject: RDP
I was wondering if there is a way to set FreeBSD up to replace a Windows
2000 server. The company I work for uses terminal services client to
connect to the WIN2K server. When users connect they can log in and
create documents, spreadsheets, etc. Currently I use rdesktop on FreeBSD
at work to connect to the WIN2K. It would be nice to replace the Windows
machine with a *BSD.
I read the OP as an interest in replacing the Windows 2000 server, not 
anything client-side. Assuming that's right...

If you replace this W2K box with a FreeBSD server, you can provide 
replacements for pretty much everything the Windows box can do (*full* 
Exchange functionality being a possible exception), and add some new 
stuff. You can certainly give users the ability to bring up a remote 
desktop on the server and do work, including creating (word processing) 
documents and spreadsheets. VNC is perhaps the best option for Windows 
clients, you could carry on using rdesktop.

In fact, while Windows was designed as a single user system, and 
terminal services is a sort of bolt-on afterthought, FreeBSD is a 
multi-user environment from the ground up.

But they'll be using a FreeBSD desktop. You can provide a nice window 
manager and a full office suite. It won't be the Windows GUI and it 
won't be MS Office. There may be retraining issues and also probs with 
backwards compatibility with previously created documents - depends how 
many Office features the users are taking advantage of. Simple documents 
are fine. Complicated, Visual Basic-ridden stuff won't work well or at all.

Having said that, it would be a step into a brighter future to make this 
replacement :-)

Serial console stopping startup

[Will McCutcheon]

I've been having some trouble with a new server I just installed FreeBSD onto for the 
first time.  I stick "-h" into /boot.config as I've done on other machines so as to 
get it to start up with an accessable serial console.  However, while I get the 
following messages:

/boot.config: -h

BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01

That comes out the screen, and nothing more.  Nothing ever comes out the serial 
console.  Furthermore, the system doesn't seem to boot up.  There isn't any heavy disk 
activity after this and it never binds to its IP address.  I've tinkered some with the 
serial port settings in the BIOS, suspecting it to be a BIOS issue, but wasn't able to 
figure anything out.  I was able to use the serial ports for the same purpose under 
Red Hat 8 before I wiped it and stuck FreeBSD on there.

Any ideas?  Clues?

Thanks so much!

pkg_deinstall problem

[Bruce Hunter]

hello,

I ran the 
#pkg_deinstall -vrR 

then I reboot and root no longer had a password, and my only user
'flipnode' was no longer a user.
Also, it seemed to delete the main .cshrc file.
Also, it seemed to delete or overwrite my /etc/fstab file.

Basically, I was trying to remove xfce-4 and everything for it, but
leave stuff/libs for other packages needing them. Only if other packages
were needing them.

What did I do wrong?

BOINC SETI Version for FreeBSD?

[Cordula's Web]

Hi,

any chance to see a port of the BOINC version of setiathome
in the future? Source code to both boinc and seti boinc is
available, but no port yet... Could a ports guru please have
a look?

Thanks.

portupgrade fails on every port, undefined method 'each' for nil:NilClass

[Lee Dilkie]

Well, I'm at a bit of a loss here.

running 4.10, did a cvsup this morning, then portsdb -uU to get an up to date index.

Bunch of ports needed updating, including portupgrade so I upgraded portupgrade first. 
That seemed to work fine (it reports version 1.8.1).

Now, every port I try to upgrade fails when uninstalling the old version. I've tried 
to upgrade clamav, isc-dhcp3-server and a couple of others.

All report "undefined method 'each' for nil:NilClass".

Re: portupgrade fails on every port, undefined method 'each' for nil:NilClass

[Bruce Hunter]

Did you both upgrade 'portupgrade' and then the problem started?
I'm running portupgrade rev.1.225 with no problems.

yes. I saw from portversion that portupgrade was bumped so i ran

Yeah, problems stared after upgrading to portupgrade-20040701.  I'm guessing 
there will be another update shortly.

Then the fun of trying to upgrade portupgrade when it won't uninstall will begin...

Anticipating that I'll need some directions on how to do this manually.

You can always pkg_delete an installed port.

cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
make deinstall
make install

should do it.

You might try looking at /usr/ports/sysutils/portdowngrade as well.

I haven't seen any comments to knu@ about the problem. I can repeat 
portupgrading portupgrade from the source and create a package. When I 
try to portupgrade using the package, I get 

# portupgrade -Puf portupgrade
--->  Checking for the latest package of 'sysutils/portupgrade'
** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
! sysutils/portupgrade (portupgrade-20040701)   (undefined

--->  Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed

It also failed to delete devel/libtool-1.4.3_3, which was just moved 
into the Attic.

It isn't difficult:

# pkg_delete portupgrade-20040701
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
# make install

Now, all we need is the fixed version of portupgrade.

I'm actually using a GRUB floppy, but this is what I type in to boot 
freeBSD (it's on the second IDE drive in my system)

GRUB> root (hd1,0)
GRUB> chainloder +1
GRUB> boot
in the first line, (hd1,0) refers to the HDD and the partition, in that 
order. So if you have only one drive, and BSD is on the second partiton, 
for example, you'd use "root (hd0,1)"

Hope this helps...

i don't have /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XftConfig either, but my linux-opera
runs just fine.  i'm not sure that this is the problem.

do you have one of the linux_base ports installed?

-- if no, you'll need one.
-- if yes, give pkgdb -Fu a try and see if that clears anything up.

also try running opera as a normal user.  your root account may not have
the same 'environment variables' set as you regular account.  (a problem
i've run into in the past which gave me curious X related error messages)


good luck,

It's probably a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet PCI Adapter, and you 
should be OK with FreeBSD 5.2.1

I gather this driver appeared with 5.1 so earlier releases will not 
support it.

Out of interest, the first half-dozen results when you google for 
*FreeBSD HP Compaq d530C/P2* reveal this.

The 'total' figure from ls(1) and the number shown by du(1) is the
total disk usage in blocks of 1024 bytes (if BLOCKSIZE=k is set in
your environment, which is the default) -- in this case, about a
factor of 7 smaller than the total of the file sizes.

Files can have 'holes' -- parts of the file that have never been
written to, although later parts of the file have.  Disk blocks are
not allocated for those unwritten areas.  If you use hexdump(1) on the
file, the holes will show up as a sequence of null bytes.

The way to tell if a file is holey is to compare the size of the file
against the number of blocks allocated for it using:

% stat -f "%10z %6b %N" *

[ or

% ls -ls *

where the 1st column is the number of blocks, the 6th is the filesize
in bytes]

If the filesize is significantly greater than the number of blocks
multiplied by the block size (stat(1) shows 512 byte blocks, ls(1)
shows 1024 byte blocks) then those files have holes in them.  It's
quite common to see this, for example, in files that are the backing
stores for databases.

Having holey files is not a problem, although some broken backup
software will tend to fill in all of the gaps with zeros, meaning that
occasionally you can't restore a file back onto the same partition it
was backed up from.  You can quite easily have a file whose apparent
size is larger than the partition holding it.

Cheers,

Matthew

Hi, 

I am new to this, just wandering if I could get some pointers in right 
direction into learning this software from basics to gaining intermidiate 
skills. 

I am a cisco engineer however want to learn  the unix/linux too. 

any advice you can give me or what will help in learning BSD.

i've this line in my .fetchmailrc:

i believe it's important to invoke procmail with the -d option,

device hints issue

[David Bear]

I just completed a cvsup make buildworld, buildkernel cycle for
freebsd 4.10. I cvsup'ed to releng_4_10.  when attempting to 
make installkernel I get the following error:

/i386/usr/games:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
/usr/obj/usr/src/make.i386/make KERNEL=kernel install
You must set up a /boot/device.hints file first.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC.
*** Error code 1
...
this seems stranges since according the handbook device.hints is a
feature of 5.x. It does not exist in /boot anywhere.  should I touch
/boot/device.hints and just let it go?

IP bandwidth

dear all,

i'm using a freebsd 4.10-stable server with 50 IP addresses.
Is there any program i can install that will be able to tell me:

- how much bandwidth (ie. kbps) each individual IP is using?

trafcount seems to count total traffic only, any idea?

thanks.

Try using the log functions of the ipfw system

ipfw add log ip from any to  

an entry for each address would log all traffic to/from that address

well, i've never run into this problem before, but the ports have a
tendency to change from day to day and funny things can happen.

my guess is that the linux-aspell (ports/textproc) dependency wasn't
installed.  try adding that and see what happens.

also, just to be certain, do you have one of the linux-base ports installed
and linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf?  if not, this will definitely
cause you all sorts of grief.  if you end up installing a linux-base and
adding that setting to rc.conf, just be aware that it will take a reboot
(or some other less drastic wizardry that i don't know) in order for the
new rc.conf setting to take effect.

for the record, i'm using linux_base-8 and haven't had any problems
whatsoever.  some ports (acroread, for example) will ask for a
different linux_base version but will install anyway. after the install of
any such program, you just pkgdb -Fu and tell it to depend upon the version
you have installed.

give all this a shot and let us know what comes of it.  i'm not sure that
i've hit upon 'your' problem, but i've got my fingers crossed.


cheers,
epi

Thanks, I got it to work. How would I include the current system date

#tar -cvf Solisix-$USER.tar Solisix/ <--- with current user..

I want the date instead..

You need to specify the 'f' option to tell tar where to write the tar
to, it's defaulting
to /dev/sa0 which probably doesn't exist on your system.

I got linux-opera installed and working. Then I installed 
linux-flashplugin-7.0r25, and opera shows it in its plugin list, but
when I go to view a flash site, the flash is a blank area. I no longer
get the message telling me I haven't got flash installed.

Ideas?

Thanks guys

Actually, it does stand for Intensity, according to the 1812 papers

What you're doing when you do $USER is bringing in one of the environment
variables. If you type 'env' at a command prompt, you'll see the ones currently
defined. The date isn't one of them. There might be an easier/better way but I
would suggest running the 'date' command inline with the ` character as so:

tar -cvf Solisix-`date '+%d%m%Y'`.tar Solisix

That runs the 'date' command with a particular formatting string and
then puts that
result into the tar command.

Problem with gateway and ipfw in FreeBSD 5.2

[Tony Liew]

Hi,
Currently I am trying out FreeBSD 5.2.
SDSL modem
   |   
   |
   |
   |
   |
   |
FreeBSD Router
   |
   |
   |
   |
Internal network

My problem, from FreeBSD I can ping outside and inside network.
from Internal network, I can ping internal interface and external 
interface of FreeBSD Router. But I cannot ping the modem IP address so 
goes public DNS server on the internet.

I have in my KERNEL:
options   BRIDGE
options   DIVERT
options   IPFIREWALL
options   IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
rc.conf
gateway_enable="YES"
defaultrouter=""
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_type="OPEN"
natd_interface=""
natd_enable="YES"
router_enable="YES"
sysctl.conf
net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1
net.link.ether.bridge.config=external interface, internal interface
net.link.ether.bridge.ipfw=1
client on the internal network cannot connect to the internet. Any 
suggestion?

Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Tony Liew

Hi,
you have to change the tar -f option:

man tar:
[...]
 -f [hostname:]file
 --file [hostname:]file  Read or write the specified file (default is
 /dev/sa0).  If a hostname is specified, tar will
 use rmt(8) to read or write the specified file on
 a remote machine.  ``-'' may be used as a file-
 name, for reading or writing to/from stdin/std-
 out.
[...]

For example: tar -cvzf /home/me/backup/solisix.baktar.gz /Solasix/files

GBDE is based on GEOM, which is too large of a subsystem to be
backported to 4.x.  It'll be available in -STABLE when the stable tag
gets shifted to the 5.x branch :)

Re: portupgrade fails on every port, undefined method 'each' for nil:NilClass

[Akinori MUSHA]

Hi,

I have just committed a fix against the "undefined method `each' for
nil:NilClass" error that occurs typically when BEFORE_DEINSTALL is not
defined in pkgtools.conf.  Add "BEFORE_DEINSTALL = {}" to your
pkgtools.conf and pkg_deinstall will start working again.

For the "undefined method `>' for #" error, I still
have no idea.  Could you try again with a vanilla pkgtools.conf?

Problems with UDMA harddisks

[Peter Ulrich Kruppa]

Hi!
I hope somebody on this list has another good idea, I haven't 
thought of yet:

I have a machine that came with two Excel Stor 40 GB ("Ganymede") 
UDMA/100 harddisks.
To install FreeBSD 4.10 I had to disable UDMA in the BIOS, 
otherwise they wouldn't have booted (some complaint about ata0).
Of course I wish to get UDMA working, since this is said to 
improve perfomance significantly. 
I checked if the UDMA cable is plugged into the correct places 
for mainboard, master and slave - this is o.k. .

Are there any other things (bios settings, kernel modules, magic 
chants,...) I could try?

Thanks,
Uli.

Any of these make real time statistics like iptraf under linux. I also 
need something like this for both general interface (realtime) statistics 
and for traffic monitorring (i can use tcpdump for this but it would be 
nice to have both caracteristics in one program).

solved amavisd-new and postfix issue

[dave]

Hello,
My thanks to everyone who has helped me over these past few days. I did
a total reinstall and clean configuration of postfix and amavisd-new, i did
not get the error about the dictionaries again, but this time i got a
message from amavisd:
denied access to 192.168.0.3
for some reason amavisd likes it when postfix is bound to all IP's, switched
the inet_interfaces parameter and it appears to be working. I'm going to
give it a day or two before doing anything else with it, i want to ensure
everything works before i start doing more and catch up on some other
projects gone neglected over the past couple of days.
As for the original dictionary problem i don't have a clue, a fluke, an
extra space? Or just my luck?
Anyway, my thanks to everyone.
Dave.
