sym driver broken in 5.3?
is anybody else having trouble with the sym scsi driver on 5.3-stable systems? I have a machine here where a tar to SCSI tape (tar cf /dev/nsa0 /home/data) will pretty reliably chrash the machine. This being our file server, it's a tad inconvenient. I was suspecting that the tape drive was bad, but today's crash gave me some new data - the console was full of repeated camq_init: - cannot malloc array! followed by the uptime figures. dmesg output immediately after reboot had according to grep -c 676 of them, before the expected boot time messages: Copyright (c) 1992-2004 The FreeBSD Project.

If so, what can I do about it to be more safe? PuTTY using ssh establishes an encrypted tunnel between the client and the server, and this makes you pretty secure from network sniffing on the school network or elsewhere. However, keystrokes are a different matter - a keystroke monitoring program on your windows PC will grab keystrokes regardless of the application you're using. Such programs are not unknown... An attempted 220 million pound robbery in London was just attempted using keystroke monitoring software to get account numbers and passwords from an otherwise secure system. So if your windows machine is compromised, everything you do on it will be compromised, period. That's your point of vulnerability, IMHO.

Re: ssh security
Another problem is the Man-in-the-Middle problem, where you are led to believe that you are communicating with your home-computer, but your session is relayed on through a decrypting/encrypting gateway which is under someone else's controll. To counteract this, you should obtain your home-computer's SSH fingerprint, and verify that this is in fact the machine you are connecting to when launching putty at school.

Although progress is being made on getting detail, it's still insufficient (and, not entirely consistent? if the connection in question is *wired* then probably the fact that a wireless access point exists on the same subnet is not likely relevant). Anyway, I do not have a clear vision of what connects to what, how. The relevant portions of rc.conf, ifconfig output (and ipconfig output from the M$ box), the syntax of the tcpdump, the specs of the box, and other relevant details might spur more response. A simple ASCII representation of the network might help. FWIW, I've seen tcpdump behave poorly if the box or card just doesn't have the horsepower required to parse the volume of all the packets being seen on the network. re: can't ping M$ box... M$ firewall sounds like the most likely culprit. If you try to ping and get no response, does the M$ box nevertheless show up in FreeBSD's arp table (compare arp -an before and after the ping test)? If the MAC address shows up, you've got connectivity just fine, but something's dropping the ICMP packets.

You can also enable OPIE passwords. Using opie(4) in combination with ssh should solve some (though not all) of your problems w.r.t. sniffing and key logging. Of course, if you logged into a machine using opie, and *then* typed some other (non one-time) passwords from withing that session, you'd be still at the mercy of a local key logger or trojaned ssh client.

Why not! ;-) The USA system attempts/purports to _protect_ the minorities. This exists because supposedly the system tries to protect everyone, not specifically the minorities. It is only an artifact that sometimes minorities find themselves able to use the system to influence some outcome. They do not seize control. They wield whatever poser/influence they can muster, but they do not seize control. What control exists, they do seize. Certainly, much of the actual control of the US system resides lower down in the food chain among the professional bureaucrats who survive administration after administration, regardless of who happens to be at the top. But, there still is a lot of real power at the top, and the people at the top are also able to make decisions that have implications that stretch far, far beyond their own brief period in power. As for example the decision to invade Iraq. Long after the Republicans are out of power, the US is still going to be involved there. Because by that time there will have been such a great loss of American life that even the strongest Democrat will not be able to pull out, because the hawks will claim that if he does he's throwing away everything that that large number of soldiers have given their lives for, and nobody will be able to survive that kind of criticism. As a result we will have permanent military bases there. And as a result we will have to keep going back in there year after year whenever the population there (who really does not want bases) manages to get a strong enough government in place that can threaten those bases existence. And also, Saudi Arabia wants us in there because that way we will control oil production, and thus not destroy OPEC's power. Iraq is the only country in the world that has the oil reserves large enough to destroy OPEC if they wished, and OPEC is Saudi Arabia's child. And independent Iraq with it's own government has always been a threat to OPEC and now that is gone. And because of all of this, our Energy policy has been permanently altered to be oil-based. We will never be able to return to conservation, solar, geothermal and so on. The dial has been stuck on Oil and will remain there until all oil reserves in Saudia Arabia and Iraq have been completely tapped out. And because of that, American soldiers will continue to die over there until that happens in maybe a century or so. And this is -exactly- what the ultraconservatives want. They wanted a US that is the world's policeman with an economy that supports a tremendous military-industrial complex, and that is what they got. Next, it was not exactly a failure. The use of alcohol went down very significantly. We don't really have any way of knowing that because none of this stuff was tracked, as it was illegal. And you might consider too that a still isn't practical in a densely populated area, it is likely that out West where the population density was much lower, that they were far more common than anyone would believe. Sure, each 'ultra' group contains the seeds/tools of its own destruction. No, not true. The Amish for example are definitely an off-the-bend "ultra" group, but they have a consistent internal philosophy, and the way they apply their philosophy is non hypocritical, thus they survive. The Quakers, the super-Mormons, even the survivalists, there are many of these out-in-left-field groups that are non-hypocritical in the application end. As a result they don't carry the seeds of their own destruction. Rather, there are other reasons that they can never grow beyond a small minority. There's plenty of stuff that you can fault the ultraliberals for, (stupidity, no common sense) but hypocrisy is not one of them. That particular problem is a speciality of the ultraconservatives.

There are other seeds of self destruction beside hypocrisy. The Amish and some similar groups just gradually die off, for example.By the way, there is plenty of hypocrisy in the Amish community.It may look different from what we are all used to seeing but it is there. Survivalists/militia groups feed on people's personal pathology and must constantly be resupplied by fresh self-loathing recruits. They are somewhat a product of the failure of mainstream society and maybe some of that hypocrisy you seem interested in. > > There's plenty of stuff that you can fault the ultraliberals for, > (stupidity, > no common sense) but hypocrisy is not one of them. That particular > problem is a speciality of the ultraconservatives. Well, it seems so, but even the ultra liberals abuse weaker persons within their groups. That, for example, has been one of the complaints of women for the last hundred years or more (my memory doesn't go back much farther than that). And they usually show none of their liberal consideration toward their opponents, even though their doctrine would call for it. > > So, lets leave this topic at that.

The ultra-pro-beastie movement can destroy itself just like the other side by being so strident that they offend the status quo and majority and incite a dump-it movement just to show they won't be abused by either religious fringe - since the ultra-pro-beastie group seems to be the loudest and most narrowly beamed one at the moment. jerry > > Ted > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you are using a '486 or later you do not *have* to set CPUTYPE to anything. If you wish to optimize for your particular CPU you could set CPUTYPE to reflect the CPU you are actually using, but it is not necessary other than for a real 80386. > or do all > x86's need to set this value? > > It seems to me that only 386 should need to set it but before I start > updating I want to be sure.. -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Can I safely use 10-12 chars? DES passwords are limited to 8 characters (significant characters; you can type away all you want, but only the first 8 characters affect the result). MD5 can use considerably more (128, according to something out of the mists of my memory, but I haven't checked). This is true on any OS that supports both.

Tagged queueing queues up multiple instructions for the drive simultaneously. The drive then attempts to sort them out and execute them in optimum order. Some drives that claim to support tagged queueing do not correctly do so, and don't perform well when it is used (and may lose data). If you set the queue size to one, as recommended in the passage you reference, then only one instruction will be issued to the drive at time, and it will behave like a drive without tagged queueing. It will do no harm to the drive. If the drive correctly implements tagged queueing, this will slow down the drive, but if it does not correctly implement it, then this may dramatically speed up the drive (and make it more stable). I have an external drive that manages 1.3 MBps transfers with queueing enabled, and 25 MBps transfers when I set the queue size to one.

First item deals with the .path statements, and more specifically, your

relative addressing, you make troubleshooting a broken build much more
difficult, because
1) relative addressing means you have to be forever translating paths in
listings, and very often the number of include paths gets to be rather long.
2) all the stuff like "../.." in listings is quite difficult to read
3) with the $(.CURDIR) variable, it's extremely easy to use absolute
addressing. You can also make use of $(.OBJDIR), and it's not so hard
to make makefiles that work off of read-only sources like cdroms.

and a bin.mk that looks like this:
include ../include/mk/base.mk
all: ${BIN}
${BIN}: ${OBJS}
${CC} ${LDFLAGS} -o ${.TARGET} ${.ALLSRC}
so that a makefile for a specific program looks like this:
BIN = app
SRCS = app.c
LDFLAGS += -pthread
include ../include/mk/bin.mk
The Make(1) man page doesn't show "include", the advertised command is
".include". If you use .include, then you can modify your make, if you
want, with the -m argument, and so get specific directories to be added
to the search path for make include files. I'm not sure, but I think
that raw "include) is more a gmake item, and it's absolute addressing.
Don't forget the "-" argument, so that you allow includes to fail if
they need to, like for generating dependencies.
But I'm having a problem figuring out how to handle header files. I have
some that are local to this binary, but others are in the project include
directory.
How can I include the .h files so the .c files are recompiled when the
header files they require are changed? GNU make has 'make depend' but I'd
like a better, BSDmake-centric way, if possible.
Well, did you look at the files in /usr/share/mk, and specifically
bsd.dep.mk? You can even use the FreeBSD sources to figure out (to use
as examples) how things should work.
Don't forget the use of -m, because you can use it to add to the include
directory list, and so be able to add your own include files without
corrupting the system files.
I honestly keep on switching back and forth, between thinking that the
best make is bmake, or gmake. They both have key items that make them
uniquely better.
Thanks for your help,
jm

Re: 5.3-release fine with 512MB RAM, reboots at times with 1.5GB (but no panic)
I have had odd behavior like you are describing with cheap motherboards. I ran all of the memory tests etc, and everything passed with flying colors. Despite passing all of the tests I could throw at the hardware, windows 2000 was very unstable. We ultimately ended up replacing the board.

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2004/09/19 02:40:48 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you. Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. "The Complete FreeBSD" has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor "Installing and Running FreeBSD". Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm constantly updating it.

Most adapter card registers only 32bits, and PCIX dma is 64bits anyway, so what 64bit fetches are there? Larger pointers take up more cache space. Benchmark show that 64bit pointers slow memory operation. So the difference overall may be small. I not argue about 64bit maybe faster.

Bind Wierdness
Hello. While trying to track down periodic radius failures, I discovered that Bind was periodically timing out, and even occasionally incorrectly responding with a failure. We orriginally were running 9.2.3 built from ports on FreeBSD 4.9p11, with a mem limit set at 900M, maint interval of 60 minutes. The failures were 61 minutes appart, like clockwork. We moved up to 9.3.0, again built from ports, and continued to observe the same problem. I then built from src, enabling threading, with no luck. A quick discussion with the port maintainer pointed out that 9.3.1 would have 'major threading fixes' for FreeBSD, so I waited for it to come out. Now that it's out, I've built it, threading enabled, and still have the periodic outages. I've currently got the maint interval set at 15 mins, and my problems are tracking the period like clock work. At the moment, my primary source of data comes from my radius server monitoring, as I don't have a direct long term dns monitor going yet. I've been testing by throwing nslookup requests inside while loops from cli and observing the output. The host system for bind is running 9 to 14% cpu load, even durring the maint windows, so I don't believe the host system is overloaded. How should I proceed to diagnose and correct this? I've posted to the bind-users list, seems a few others have noticed similar problems, but noone wants to provide any diagnostic hints there.

I have not done this but think you should be looking into making a multi-session DVD. This should be easy. Method 1 (should be easy and direct): Just burn the original DVD image with growisofs in multi-session mode (the default): growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso You should then be able to directly add your new files with: growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /more/files Method 2 (probably more appropriate for a CD image): Use mkisofs to create a second session .iso file. Something like: mkisofs -o second.iso -C -M image.iso -R -J /more/files You might need to burn the first session and use burncd/cdrecord or something to get the magic numbers for the -C option.

Watch out for activity in /var/log etc. I'm using ataidle on "diskless" workstations with attached hdd (now if that's not an oxymoron!). Most activities happen on the NFS mounted system partitions, and the hdd is only there for backup purposes and for file systems that are not always in use (like /home and so).

Apache from the ports - default httpd.conf deleted
FreeBSD 4.7R (yah I know I need to update this)
apache+mod_ssl-1.3.33+2.8.22 The Apache 1.3 webserver with SSL/TLS functionality
I accidentally deleted the default ("out of the box") httpd.conf for
my Apache install.
Could someone please help by supplying their httpd.conf for 1.3.33 or
direct me to a place to download a full default httpd.conf?
Thank you,

Hello,
I did a 'pkg_info -L "apache*"' and I noticed the following file:
/usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf-dist
If it is not there you can read that file from the downloadable package
or port.
Best Regards,
Ale

ntpd core dumping on 5.3-p5
I'm experiencing a problem similar to the problem described in this thread: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-February/078139.html My ntp.conf contains: server clock.psu.edu server fuzz.psc.edu prefer server ntp-1.ece.cmu.edu prefer server ntp-2.ece.cmu.edu prefer If I comment out the first two servers, ntpd works fine. Otherwise, I get coredumps. It seems a little extreme to me that any server could remotely cause ntpd to core. I'm willing to look in to this, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get ntp built with debugging symbols.

sysinstall/fdisk and the disk geometry
Hi at all. My question is simple. My laptop is a 1513lmi Acer, it has a TOSHIBA MK6025GAS disk with 117210240 LBA sectors. When I install Freebsd 5.3, Sysinstall, in the Fdisk submenu,state the geometry 116280/16/63 then translate automatically this geometry to 7296/255/63. But both when I use the 5.3-RELEASE-amd64-disc2 and when I use a installed system, Fdisk find the geometry 116280/16/63 and doesn't translate automatically this geometry to 7296/255/63. So: When I use Fdisk, have I to change the geometry from 116280/16/63 to 7296/255/63? Sysinstall, partitioning, use Fdisk then: why is there this difference? Is there a more exhaustive documentation about Fdisk and Sysinstall that the man pages?

USB disk hang - 5.4PRE - gstripe
I just upgraded a box to 5.4PRE and started experiencing regular system hangs at exactly 1AM - I traced it to BackupPC which was starting it's run at that time backing up to a gstripe set made from two 300GB USB disks. The first thing I assumed was that something in Samba or perl didn't like the 5.4 upgrade so I rebuilt my entire ports tree (portupgrade -fa) to be sure I had no old libs. It still fails. Next I moved the two drives out of their USB housings and put them on the IDE controller (disconnecting the CD burner to make space). It's working fine like that (all be it with disks hanging out the side of the machine). So it looks like USB is the culprit. A few data points: 1) It worked fine on 5.3 2) Motherboard is an Intel D845GVSR with a Celeron D 2.9Ghz and 512Mb Ram 3) USB disk interfaces are from a couple of WD external drives (although the drives are in fact Maxtor because I upgraded them WD boxes) 4) A single WD250GB disk also on USB seems to work fine it's only the stripe set that has a problem 5) When it fails the entire disk system locks (including IDE) but the machines keeps running until each process locks as it needs to talk to the disk 6) No meaningful syslog log entries Any ideas? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

First off: Where did you get that tidbit. I don't think it's accurate. It says nothing about it in the man page for ntp.conf, and it works fine on previous version of ntpd. Secondly, and more important, it doesn't help anyway. * If I remove all the "prefer" and try to start ntpd, it still coredumps. * If I set only one "prefer", it still coredumps. * If I comment out the first two servers, but set the remaining two _both_ to "prefer", it runs fine. Thirdly, even if it were illegal to have multiple "prefer" directives, the program still should not coredump because of an invalid config file. So, we come badk to my original statement: After additional testing, it still seems as if the first two servers on this list are coredumping ntpd. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I've set rwx above? I saw a similar post on this list, and it is mentions that the file will be masked with umask. am I suppose to change my umask ? if so, why? why can't I set acl's to simply apply the default acl which I've set on the dir to any dirs/files created in that directory regardless of umask?

The next consideration would be the performance of the overal setup. Any hints or suggenstions would be great. As someone who has inhereted an Exchange server I have a few hints for you. 1 Run Exchange on a Dedicated Windows Server (2000 or 2003). Do not fiddle with VMware or Wine. You are going to need a license for Windows to run Exchange under VMware (or bochs). You are probably going to need a license of Windows to run it under wine (if that is even possible). In any case, you will lose stability if you don't dedicate a system to Windows. 2 You need to keep the disk where Exchange stores its mail database at least 55% free or Exchange will not work properly. This is because you need to periodically rebuild the Exchange database to keep performance tollerable. Also when mail is deleted in an exchange mail store, it is not actually deleted but just marked for deletion. You need to take the mail store offline (so nobody can access their mailbox) periodically and run a tool to purge the deleted items. This takes hours on any decent sized mail system. When this happens it creates temporary files roughly 110% the size of the mail store. [etc.] As someone who used to administer and Exchange Server, I agree. It is a serious pain, and requires constant handholding. I know someone who _loves_ Scalix (http://www.scalix.com). It's an Exchange replacement that runs on Linux (and maybe FreeBSD), but that's all I know about it. If you need to support Outlook clients, it might work for you, and it's probably cheaper than Exchange. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You may want to start testing the newer :versions of 5 current. I have noticed improved performance on my test :servers and believe that 5.4 will demonstrate an improvement in :performance.

SMP drops packets at about 60% load and seems to have a lower capacity than UP. I'm sure some things are faster, but networking is a large component for most people I think. Threaded network stacks just don't seem to perform well, certainly not on UP. Linux MP works much better, but with 2 CPUs it has the capacity of FreeBSD 4.x with 1. So its hard to justify. FWIW, its quite a bit better with UP than DragonFLY, but dragonfly is much better with 2 processors.

FreeBSD 5.3 gvinum and growfs
Hi, How do I make growfs actually grow a gvinum disk on FreeBSD 5.3? I've read the man pages, the Handbook, and done some searching with no luck. To help understand what I'm trying to accomplish here, I've created a filesystem that mounts to /export on a gvinum volume. The volume is configured as a mirror. I want to double it's size. To do this I used gvinum to add a subdisk to each plex of the mirror (this worked fine). gvinum now reports the volume as 32GB (it used to be 16GB). The filesystem is still 16GB. When I unmount the filesystem and run growfs on the device it claims there is no space to grow: # growfs -s 33554432 /dev/gvinum/export growfs: we are not growing (8388608 -> 8388608) And yet # disklabel /dev/gvinum/export # /dev/gvinum/export: 3 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 3355443204.2BSD 2048 16384 0 b: 335544320 swap c: 335544320unused0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit disklabel: partition c doesn't cover the whole unit! disklabel: An incorrect partition c may cause problems for standard system utilities better still: # gvinum list 2 drives: D a State: up /dev/ad1s1g A: 58662/108326 MB (54%) D b State: up /dev/ad0s1g A: 58662/108326 MB (54%) 5 volumes: ...

Permissions for Linux apps via LDAP
I now have 2 different Linux applications that refuse to start because getpwuid_r() won't return a user ID. Both acroread7 and realplayer are dead in the water for me. I'm using pam_ldap authentication, which works great for all my native FreeBSD apps. How do I get the Linux apps to perform a similar lookup now? I'm not seeing any pam_ldap or nss_ldap linux ports, which would seem to mean that simply changing the nsswitch.conf file in the /compat/linux area won't do me much good. I could live without realplayer working, but acroread is a pretty critical application for my end users. It also looks like this will be a growing trend for Linux applications in the future. Do we need to port new Linux pam modules into play, or is there some simpler method for fixing this?

How to avoid forkbomb?
Hi, After reading this article: http://www.securityfocus.com/cgi-bin/sfonline/columnists-item.pl?id=308, I decided to give the forkbomb script a try which is below: #!/bin/sh $0 & $0 & The system was unresponsive for a couple minutes but then FreeBSD killed the script and the system was accessible. I started looking around for what my process limit was set at but I found a couple different values. ulimit -a outputs: core file size(blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) 524288 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files(-n) 7264 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1 stack size(kbytes, -s) 65536 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes(-u) 3632 kern.maxproc is set to 4036 /etc/login.conf reads: :maxproc=unlimited:\ My questions are: Am I looking at the correct values? Which is the actual process limit? What would you recommend that I set it to in order to have my machine shrug off the fork bomb sooner? What would be a good process limit for a LAMP webserver? How would I set the process limits?

Re: PPP routing failure [fixed]
Yes it was a sleep issue (and not the sleep(2) kind haha). *facepalm* Apparently the POP uses a 2 stage authentication process. First, you use unix/slip style authentication after which the POP then initiates CHAP. I had specified the inccorect password for CHAP but after the initial autentication the POP still assigned me an IP; albeit one that didn't talk to anything but the next hop and its nameserver. it's all good now!

do i need to reinstall
i recently bought a new and larger hard drive for my computer. i put it the machine as '/dev/ad3'. while educating myself about this new drive, i installed freebsd 5.3 on one of the slices. i am ready to eliminate the old 'ad0' and want to move the new drive so it will become '/dev/ad0'. will BSD operate in its new location without any changes to the configuration files? perhaps '/etc/fstab', and what else? or should i just reinstall freebsd after i have reconfigured the machine?

Re: FreeBSD 4.x Opteron Question
em1897, I'm curious how you are testing. In my testing, the 5.4 pre IP stack performed very well. I was able to get 100% more throughput than Linux (2.6.10 FC3) under heavy load on the exact same hardware. I was actually surprised at the difference because I have been a Linux Zellot for years. I didn't see any packet loss in my tests, but I do have good quality networking gear and servers. I was happy enough after my testing that I'm going to move my 4.x servers to 5.4 when it's released. I haven't tested dragonfly yet, but get all the performance I need out of FreeBSD. --Nick On Fri, 18 Mar 2005 18:55:14 -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > :Boris, > : I would agree that my initial impression of 5.3 was that it was slow > :compared to 4.x.
