Re: FreeBSD 4.9 - clearing local DNS cache

How does one go about clearing local DNS cache?
In case you don't have a 'named' process running on that very machine 
there is no local DNS cache.  Applications (DNS clients) just query the 
DNS server every time, and if it is remote and out of your reach there 
is nothing you can do about it, short of using a different DNS server.

However, if there is a local 'named' process you can get rid of its 
cache contents only by restarting it (AFAIK).  As user 'root', try

  ndc restart
and check '/var/log/messages' for the new startup message.  That should 
do the trick.

samba as wins-server

2005-02-22 Thread Florian Hengstberger
Hi!
I'm working in an office with several win hosts of all flavours
(98,2000,eXPerience). Unfortunatly the resolution of computers takes
sometimes up to half an hour (approx.) until they are accessible after
booting up.
In near future I'll have the chance to switch to FreeBSD with
my box (at least, I hope so). I'll install samba for win access to my
machine. Reading some documentation I've found out that samba
can also act as a wins-server. Will this enhance the latency of netbios
resolution or will it corrupt it?

Is there a way to speed up this process with samba,
am I writing complete nonsense?
Tell me if this is true.

Yours, Florian

PHP installation woes

2005-02-22 Thread Gareth Bailey
Hi there,

Could someone please give the low down on installing and configuring
php on freebsd? I am running the 4.10 release as our development
server with apache 1.3, php 4 and mysql 4.

Up until now, the only way i have got php to work is to extract the
php tarball, configure (with the switches below), make and make
install from source.

 ./configure '--with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' '--enable-versioning'
'--with-gd' '--with-mysql' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/bin'
'--with-zlib' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--prefix=/usr/local'
'--with-mime-magic=/usr/share/misc/magic.mime' '--enable-sockets'
'--enable-memory-limit' '--disable-all'

The problem with this method is that it doesn't seem to install module
libaries, and i'm just not convinced that i am going about it
correctly.

I also at some stage tried installing from ports (/usr/ports/lang/php4) with:

# make 'insert switches from above here' build
# make 'insert switches from above here' install

None of the switches were acknowledged, as phpinfo() showed no support
for the switches i required.

I would really appreciate it if someone could recommend a way to
install php with control over modules that are supported.

Thanking you in adv,

Gareth

  I've been trying to rescan 3:0:0 and 3:0:1 and various other
  combinations.  The SAN should have the volume available at LUN 1,
  according to our storage manager, but nothing is found there.
 
 Check your LUN masking; have you made it visible to this host (usually
 by specifying the server's port or WWID)?  Masking can be done at
 either the RAID or the fibre-switch.  Switches usually do masking at
 the port or wwid level, so since you can see LUN 0 of that array, it's
 probably being masked at the RAID array.

These things look OK, we have both Linux, Windows and HP-UX hosts on the
same SAN with the same setup for them.

  isp0: Qlogic ISP 2200 PCI FC-AL Adapter port 0x4000-0x40ff mem 
  0xf7ff-0xf7ff0fff irq 10 at device 1.0 on pci6
  pass1 at isp0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
  pass1: COMPAQ HSV110 (C)COMPAQ 3020 Fixed Storage Array SCSI-2 device 
  pass1: 100.000MB/s transfers, Tagged Queueing Enabled
 
 LUN 0 looks like it's just a management LUN. A disk device would come
 up as Direct Access, not Storage Array.

Thanks, and have a nice day

Re: What is Freebsd 5.3 safe mode ?

2005-02-22 Thread Jeremie Le Hen
Hello John,

 I have installed Freebsd 5.3.  When the machine boots up, it gives me 
 several options if I want to boot up in Default Mode, Safe Mode, Single 
 User mode, etc.  I understand Single user mode.  What is the difference 
 between Safe Mode and Default Mode?

IIRC, this disables ACPI.  I looked for it in the manpage, but I wasn't
able to discover the exact meaning of this mode.

Anyone running Trend Micro IWSS in linux-compat mode?

2005-02-22 Thread David Landgren
Hello List,
I'm running a squid proxy on FreeBSD. The big problem today is web-borne 
viruses, spyware and other crap. The general feeling on the Squid users 
mailing list is that Trend Micro's InterScan Web Security Suite product 
is the way to go.

Having looked at the various incomplete, non-functional free offerings, 
I have no problem going with a commercial product. The trouble is, they 
only offer it on Windows, Linux and Solaris.

So, is anyone running IWSS in Linux-compatibility mode? If so is there 
anything tricky to be aware of? I guess either way I'll try it out, and 
if the worst comes to the worst, I'll just have to reformat the beast 
and install Linux. But that would be a bummer.

Thanks for any clues I can use,
David

Yes.  The latest release is certainly available as a torrent, and
documented as such in the release announcement:

Release via torrent is still considered experimental, which is
probably why it isn't mentioned more prominently on the web site.

You will have to configure all the clients to direct their queries to 
the WINS server. If you're delivering addresses via DHCP, this can be 
communicated during address allocation, so that's not a problem. More of 
a hassle to update fixed-address machines, but even then modern Windows 
boxes no longer need to be rebooted for the changes to take effect.

If this is just your machine and you don't admin the others it will have 
zero effect.

Tell me if this is true.
You might have other problems, I don't know. Have you run traces on your

Getting FreeBSD up and running on an HP Vectra XU 6/200

2005-02-22 Thread Anthony Atkielski
I've finally moved all my legacy apps off my Windows NT Server, and so
I've wiped the machine and installed FreeBSD.  Unfortunately, I can't
get it to boot.  I've discovered descriptions of my exact situations in
archives and on the Net, but none includes instructions specific enough
for me to figure out what's wrong.  It's like this:

The machine is an old but reliable HP Vectra XU 6/200, a dual-processor
Pentium Pro machine with 384 MB of RAM and two 4-GB SCSI disk drives.
It used to run NT, but I wiped the disks and installed FreeBSD alone on
the machine.  I used what I figured was a pretty standard setup for
disks with /, /var, /tmp, and a swap file on four separate slices on the
first disk, and /usr on the second disk.  The installation went fine.

Unfortunately, when I reboot the machine, it refuses to come up.  The
screen goes blank after the BIOS finishes with a cursor in the upper
left corner, and there it sits.  These symptoms are identical to what I
found looking around on the Net, but I couldn't find specific
instructions to fix it, although it was obvious that it can be fixed
somehow so that things run right.

If I boot from diskette again and stop in the loader, I see all the
drives and their structure.  If I unload everything, set the current
device to the nominal boot disk (disk1s1a) instead of the floppy, and
boot again, the system comes right up.  So the problem is obviously that
the BIOS doesn't know where to boot, but I'm not sure how to tell it
where to look.

Both disks were set up with the standard MBR.  Disk 0 (the same one that
contained the NT boot) contains the FreeBSD boot stuff.

Can someone tell me what I have to do to get the machine to boot from
hard disk 0?

Firstly, please don't cross post to three lists, especially a developer

Safe mode forces PIO mode (disabling the use of DMA) and disables write
caching for all IDE hard drives and CD ROM drives, disables the probing

disables the use of ACPI and the APICs.

For archives: samba-libsmbclient - /usr/local/bin/autom4te259: not found issue

2005-02-22 Thread Adi Pircalabu
Hello,

During a serious upgrade of several ports (4.11-STABLE) the build failed
in net/samba-libsmbclient with a line like this:
/usr/local/bin/autom4te259: not found
My Google quests did not drive me anywhere, so I began to dig into it.
The above file IS in the correct place, autoconf259 is properly
installed, BUT: lang/perl5 was also upgraded from 5.8.5 to 5.8.6_2.
After perl5 upgrade completed there was no more /usr/bin/perl file
because post-install does not run use.perl whatever automatically. So,
after running use.perl port the problem dissapeared and
samba-libsmbclient built succesfully.
I have to admit that: I do not read UPDATING as often as I should, I
did not search enough after a -DUSE_PERL environment variable to
automate rebuilding of /usr/bin/perl, therefore I do not know right now
if this issue is documented, there are/where/should be any PRs.
Hope these help
Cheers

Your admins probably already have a WINS server, you should point to it 
and you'll be set. Look at the 'wins server' parameter in smb.conf.

As to how XP boxes get on with each other, they hold elections, and the 
host with the most votes wins (more or less). The exact parameters that 
control the outcome are:

  os level
  preferred master
  domain master
  local master
Samba documentation explains this pretty well.

 Well, there will be a data acquisition thread, that when finished,
 will need to signal the main processing thread that a new data
 object has arrived.

There are a couple of ways to do the notification:

1) Explicit notification using a condition variable.

2) No notification at all, but restructuring of the thread
   code to use message queues.

The first can be accomplished by associating a pthread_cond_t with the
data storage area and explicit signalling of the processing thread.
Every time the processing thread has nothing to do (i.e. no data being
processed at the time), it blocks on the condition variable and waits
until the data acquisition thread awakes it.

The second way to solve this is to use minimal synchronization (i.e. a
mutex to protect a common message queue) and a queue of currently
pending messages.  The data acquisition thread gets a copy of the data
and pushes it on the queue, leaving all further work to the processing
thread.  The processing threads awakes periodically, polling for new
messages in the queue.  When one is found, it is immediately processed.
When no message is found, the processing thread sleeps for a small
amount of time.

 Well... *ahem*...  I put the above script into /etc/ipfw.rules and did

 kldload ipfw.ko  sh /etc/ipfw.rules.  I lost connectivity to the 
 server.  Did the above script only open those ports to localhost or 
 something?  I can go in tonight and fix it from the local computer,
but 
 I'd like to know what to do when I get there.  I need to have 
 connectivity to said ports from the internet... apparently I don't

sio clock interrupt problem

2005-02-22 Thread Richard Jones
Hi,

I've come across a strange problem with my FreeBSD 5.3 install. The
swi5: clock sio system process (thread?) seems to be constantly using
~14% of my CPU time, according to top.

I'm afraid I don't know how to verify whether the process is actually
using the recsources or not, and I'm not sure whether this is the sio
that refers to the serial port or some other sio.

I compiled a kernel without device sio, but that didn't make any
difference. My uname output is: FreeBSD dogstar.jonze.com 5.3-RELEASE-p5

dspam-3.2.6

2005-02-22 Thread Olga Zenkova
Trying to configure dspam-3.2.6 with sendmail
8.12.11/8.12.11. Is this portion for sendmail.mc
correct (according to docs):

define(`LOCAL_MAILER_PATH', `/usr/local/bin/dspam')
define(`LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS', `dspam
--deliver=innocent --user $u -d %u') 

because when I send one test letter for some user I
see a lot of letters in queue (as his letter
multiplies), but they can't be delivered.

Thanks, Olga

Re: dspam-3.2.6

Maybe you did setup a mail delivery loop by accident.
How did you configure the TrustedDeliveryAgent variable
in /usr/local/etc/dspam.conf?
For example did you setup TrustedDeliveryAgent to deliver
to the cyrus deliver agent or to procmail etc.?

is no OS now), and I can not remember some details, so  I am sorry if I 
am not too acurate. I suppose I will run into this problem again with 
the AMD machine so I would like to understand it better.

1- I  installed mozilla 1.7.2-2,2 from the packages on the CDROM.
2- I cvsuped the ports collection.
3- I installed and compiled some programs from the updated ports 
collection.
4- Mozilla did not work anymore cause in needs atk-1.6.1.

Mozilla in the package is 1.7.2_2,2 and depends on atk-1.6.1
If I install programs from the updated ports tree, atk-1.8.0 was 
installed for another port and atk-1.6.1 removed, but mozilla on the 
CDROM package wants atk-1.6.1. So, If I try to install again from the 
cdrom, it cant cause atk-1.8.0 is installed.

Compilling mozilla in this slow machine is not reasonable, so:
Can I download a more updated mozilla package acording to my updated 
ports collection? I have browsed pkg_add man pages and believe that the 
environment variables PACKAGESITE and PACKAGEROOT need to be set so that 
pkg_add can fetch more updated packages. Am I right? Where should they 
point to?

I will use pkg_add only for big programs, and I can use the ports 
collectio to compile the little ones.

Many thanks.
Ramiro.

Hey friends!,  am I on your e-mail black list? ;-)
It is strange that nobody has answered my question. I have been 
investigating further. Do you think I should download packages (not 
ports) from 5-stable instead from 5.3 release?

I mean, are 5-stable packages closer to an up to date ports collection?
I am waiting for a good advice before messing my ports!
Thanks.

First of all I have to admit that I am not a Sendmail
expert cause I am now using Postfix for years ...
I had the same effect while using Postfix because I
was re-injecting mails into Postfix. You must guarantee
that you are not re-injecting mails into Sendmail
forever.
I for instance did setup the following mail chain
 - Internet

   `- my Postfix MTA

`- ClamAV -´

`- DSPAM

  `- Cyrus
As you can see my ClamAV virus scanner re-injects
a mail message back to Postfix, but DSPAM finally
delivers the message (e.g. to an IMAP daemon).
Do you want to deliver your mail message to an

Boot blocks on aacd0

2005-02-22 Thread Stewart Morgan
 Please CC me in as I'm not on the list
Hello,
	I have a fresh-install of 4.11 running entirely on an Adaptec 2200S (as 
RAID-10) that I net-booted to install.  All appears to be well using the 
aac(4) driver.

	However, I want to update the boot blocks so that I can run a serial 
console faster than 9600.  I've created new versions of boot[12] and 
allegedly installed them (copied to /boot and then disklabel -B 
aacd0s1), but no change.

	The problem appears to be that either the new blocks aren't being 
written to the right place, or that they're not being written full-stop. 
 I've even tried adding a printf() to boot2.c to verify this, but alas 
it does not show up during boot :(

So, what am I doing wrong and how should I do it correctly?
 Please CC me in as I'm not on the list

or portmanager, then you will have to use pkg_add. Yoy don't have to 
set PACKAGESITE and/or PACKAGEROOT. You will probably have to do 
pkg_delete mozilla-1.7.2_2,2 to remove mozilla from your installed 
packages. Then you can do package_add -r mozilla, and it should 
download and install mozilla and required packages that haven't already 
been installed.

Is there some reason you would rather use mozilla than, say, www/firefox 
and mail/thunderbird?

Re: Questions about ports

2005-02-22 Thread Ramiro Aceves

 I must have missed the first message.   Easy to do when there are
 several hundred per day.

ok, yes, this mailing list is high traffic and that also happens to me. :-)


 I would cvsup the latest ports collection.  (There is no 5-stable ports
 collection, the same set of ports works for all supported releases,
 which is generally 4.11, 5.3, and -current, though that will change as
 we release.   In most cases ports will work with older versions too)

 then install either portupgrade or portmanager
 (/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade or /usr/ports/sysutils/portmanager)

 I'm not sure which is better.   I use portupgrade myself, but
 portmanager is more likely to be able to solve this problem.
 Whichever you choose, let it run for a few days (check often though,
 sometimes it sit waiting for you to set some options!).   That should
 get everything up to date.   At least portmanager as the ability to use
 packages if you prefer.

 While your machine is slow, I compile everything on a ppro-200, so it
 isn't impossible to compile on your machine.

Ok, thank you very much. As you say,  perhaps I will compile everything, as
I do not need too many packages for this machine. This computer will be
mainly used for browsing the Internet and reading emails, so, I think I can
spend some hours to compile firefox or thunderbird.
I will take a look to portmanager and portupgrade and see what I can do
also.

Thank you very much.
Ramiro.

I think I did that on the old pentium 75 MHz machine and mozilla refused to
install if I did not remove the new atk package. As I needed the new atk for
updated ports, old mozilla package on the cdrom could not be installed.


 Is there some reason you would rather use mozilla than, say, www/firefox
 and mail/thunderbird?

No reason. I installed mozilla cause it was the only modern graphical
browser that I found on the CDROM, but I prefer firefox and thunderbird as
separate packages. I also love the links family mainly for text browsing.
I know that links also have graphics suppport, but it is not as intuitive
as mozilla for my mother ;-).

Thank you very much for your help.

That was true for Windows 3.x/95/98/ME.  
It is not true for Windows NT/2000/XP all of which are real operating
systems, with a kernel that is actually fairly decent (unlike all the

Single-user mode mount the root partition read-only and
does not mount any other partitions.  At the command prompt,
run fsck; if everything is clean, run mount -a.  Then you will
have all your /etc/fstab filesystems mounted normally, and
can perform this operation.
I might recommend some action besides rm on a kernel
module, though (mv?).

 The facility describes the part of the system generating the message, and
 is one of the following keywords: auth, authpriv, console, cron, daemon,
 ftp, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, ntp, security, syslog, user, uucp and
 local0 through local7.  These keywords (with the exception of mark) cor-

I believe the syntax you want is

Make sure the logfile exists (and is writable),
otherwise I think syslog will complain.

Which probably has fast Internet access, and might be a decent place
to FTP from; but you would have to do it by hand, through an FTP client.

 IIRC, I will have to donwload manually the packages in wich mozilla depends
 on. That was the reason I was looking for the PACKGEROOT and PACKAGESITE
 environment variables. I am right?

You could do it that way, but you need to know the exact URL of the
package file.  [PACKAGEROOT doesn't help; it only specifies the host
to download from.]  You could automatically build the URL in a script,
much the way that pkg_add does it internally.

I'd still recommend building everything from ports, because you avoid
the case of having some packages depending on a slightly different
version of a dependency than another package.  It takes a long time to
build, but who cares -- you don't need to pay attention.

Even better, change the loader configuration (loader.conf) to not load

That module is from vmware, and probably wasn't rebuilt when the base

is what is grabbing the messages I want to redirect. (I beleive *.notice)

I just wonder if the line I just mention takes the log entry, if another
can still take it. Can a log entry only be logged once? Or can you have
it go to multiply files? (via multiple syslog.conf entries)

It sure would be easier if in the log entry it said ftp.notice or

I have tried running syslog with -d and -vv and there seems to be no

I did.  It doesn't say anything about not being able to mount a floppy.
Since I can mount CD-ROMs, I figured I could mount a floppy, but perhaps
not.

I'll have to try it with securelevel set lower when I get a chance.  As

Not really. See above. The intent is not to leave the floppy permanently

do it under Windows, so the problem is solved.

Can you clue us in on the actual lun setup exported by the array?

Can you tell us the connection topology other than same SAN?

USB key mount problem with 4.11

2005-02-22 Thread Louis LeBlanc
Strange thing.  I can't seem to mount this USB key on FreeBSD 4.11
(RELENG_4_11).

I have the scbus, da, pass, uhci, ohci, usb, and umass devices in the
kernel.  I have the same stuff on my 5.3 machine and it mounts fine
there.

Connecting the key causes the following in /var/log/messages:
  /kernel: umass0: at uhub0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected
  /kernel: umass0: detached
  /kernel: umass0: PNY USB DISK 20X, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2
  /kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): got CAM status 0x4
  /kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): fatal error, failed to attach to device
  /kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): lost device
  /kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): removing device entry

I know the ehci driver is supposed to provide USB 2.0 support, but I've
never gotten it to work because of kernel panics.

The hardware on this particular machine is:
  /kernel: usb0: Intel 82371AB/EB (PIIX4) USB controller on uhci0
  /kernel: usb0: USB revision 1.0
  /kernel: uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
  /kernel: uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered


Any ideas?  I don't know where to dig up the meaning of CAM status 0x4.

if it is some kind of slice   that you have to mount (ex. /dev/usb1s4)

This same key mounts fine on 5.3 with:
mount_msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt

The error comes in trying to attach the device to /dev/da0, not when
mounting it.

  Removing a message from all those archives is essentially

We sure did.  We have gone through this several times over the last

Hello guys,
I had a problem with my raid 5 array and I had to replace one of the
disks, the utility to restore the array worked fine , all the 3 disks
are ok, but the system doesn't boot, I have looked at the contents of
the disks using the fixit  CD and the data seems ok, but I dont know
how to make it bootable again. Is there a way to make the disk
bootable again or I have to make a clean install??.
I only get this prompt at boot time.
boot:

And nothing else happens.
Thanks 4 all your help.

You can submit DMCAs to any organization hosting archives and using any
equipment based in the U.S. (including any kind of telecommunications
link), and to their upstream providers as required.  You have to submit
to U.S. jurisdiction as part of the process (no matter where you
actually live).

You can also sue organizations directly for copyright infringement (or
file complaints for criminal infringement, although that might be hard
to apply in many jurisdictions).

This requires considerable resources and determination but nothing
absolutely prevents you from pursuing it. It would make an excellent
test case and precedent, although a loss for the FreeBSD organization
would most likely put it out of business. Although many parties have
pointed out that archiving of mailing lists without explicit permission
is infringement, I don't know of any suitable cases that have gone to
court and to judgement and execution. The current trend towards ever
more restrictive copyright laws would appear to favor plaintiff authors.

All of this applies to materal to which you own the copyright.  If
you're not the copyright holder, about your only option is libel, which
is quite difficult to prove in many cases.

SSH terminal locking up from OS X to FreeBSD

2005-02-22 Thread jim
Hi

I have been having problems when connecting to a FreeBSD
box (4.7-RELEASE-p27 FreeBSD #38) from Mac OS X. The 
typical scenario is that I ssh from the OS X box to
the FreeBSD box:

  ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After I login, if there is no screen or cursor movement  
for a minute or two, the terminal stops responding. The 
OS X box is using tcsh and has 'set autologout=0'.

I have tested several machines and here are the results
I am getting:

   FROM  TO RESULT
    =   ==
   OS X FBSDlockup
   OS X Linux   ok
   LinuxFBSDok

It looks like an alergic reaction between OS X and FBSD,
but I don't have a clue where to start looking to 
track this down.

Any ideas on what this is or how to debug it would be
appreciated.

Promise PDC20267 UDMA100 controller channel attaching trouble

2005-02-22 Thread doug reynolds
I've having a bit of trouble with my promise ATA100 controller card on
my server computer.  I used to use it fine with my older system (k6-450
with freebsd 4.xx).  I've built this newer box (with FreeBSD 5.3 and
also 5.3-STABLE, running a K7-650 now) and swapped a lot of  things
over.  The problem is I keep getting this:
device_attach: ata2 attach returned 6
when I boot up.  I've juggled IRQs, turned off the onboard controller,
but it just won't attach.  The only way it'll work is if I run the
drives on the secondary port.  When I do this, everything boots.  When
the drives are on the primary port, it won't even acknowledge I have any
drives hooked up.
The card's bios detects all drives upon bootup (primary/secondary), so I
don't think the controller is messed..

Error installing 5.3-release before sysinstall

2005-02-22 Thread Nick

I am attempting to upgrade my system from 4.9 to 5.3-RELEASE.  I removed my
4.9 partition using /stand/sysinstall.  Next, I booted from the mininstall CD, 
and a menu with the beastie and seven boot options is presented.  When I 
attempt any of the boot options, it gives errors and warns me of an Automatic 
reboot in 15 seconds.  

The lines leading up to this warning are:
***
ep0:  eeprom failed ot come ready.
ep0:  ep_alloc() failed! (6)
panic:  resource_list_release:  resource entry is not busy
Uptime: 1s
Shutting down ACPI


If I choose too boot without ACPI, then that particular warning is removed.  

I am able to exit to loader prompt from the initial menu, but I cannot (that
I know of) run /stand/sysinstall to begin the installation from here.

Booting in Safe Mode and Single User Mode fail similarly.

What should I do to properly install FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE?

The PC is an older Gateway Essential, with a Pentium III chip in it.  It has 
Windows 2000 currently installed on a separate partition.

Thanks,
Nick

OK, so can't you just do this?  Many older systems do not support ACPI
properly (i.e. they only support it to the level required to run
windows), so you just need to disable it to run FreeBSD on them.

I've been logging in to FreeBSD systems from OS X for years without

 I have not ever had to do anything strange on the OS X side nor on the

Can you run the FreeBSD sshd daemon in debug mode and see what it spits

Does this happen with all your OS X machines or just one in particular?

are similar to a colleague of mine. Either you guys are
not logging into a problem FreeBSD machine or there is 
some configuration option that I have/have not set on 
my OS X machine.

I'm still puzzled as to how to track it down.
Are the two machines on the same network segment, or are they remote?  Do you 
have IPFW rulesets enabled on either, particularly dynamic ones?  Running sshd 
with -vvv will help, as others have suggested, although you might also 
consider running tcpdump -Xvn host foo and port 22 and see what you see...

Later in the thread Jim stated he had no control over the version of the
FreeBSD machine. Am guessing he might not have root there. Am guessing
he doesn't know what customizations may have been performed on it.

I have seen similar problems where one end may have been FreeBSD.
Suggest from the MacOS end to try forcing SSH protocol 1 with 
ssh -1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If that doesn't work try forcing version 2 with -2.

Also might try moving ~/.ssh/ out of the way on the Mac to see what
happens if one starts afresh.

SCO file system mounting

2005-02-22 Thread Aftab Jahan Subedar
Hello to all.
Would 'mount' mount the SCO file system ? Does any body know ?
I presume the SCO system as partition type 2 or partition type 3 or 
partition type 0x63.

Thank you.

Does it hang at certain times?  Again, across multiple versions of OS

I haven't found a time that it will not hang after a few
minutes. (Never put a stopwatch to it.)

I would take a guess that it's a problem with the FreeBSD 4.7 system, 
and it's version of ssh.  I have never done any type of config change 
of ssh on my OS X system.

Sorry; no-one has written drivers for any of SCO's filesystem types

The machines are remote. Also, location doesn't seem to matter.
I get the same results when the Mac is on different networks,
wired or wireless.

No IPFW rulesets on this FreeBSD machine. On my old FreeBSD
machine I did have firewall rules enabled, but I got the same
result.

On the Mac, I have the default firewall rules on but allow
ssh connections.

I'll try the tcpdump. Is that command done as follows from the Mac?:

   su
   tcpdump -Xvn remotemachine.org user and port 22

 For this example, yes. That was the exit to leave the remote host. 
 I did this just to show that I had successfully logged in. If I 
 had waited a few minutes, then I would not have been able to show 
 that because the terminal would have locked up.
