Need help with tspc
I connect to the IPv6 Internet through Freenet6, whose program is tspc. It's supposed to set up my interfaces and everything so I can use ipv6-over-udp. It works the first time after rebooting my computer, but if I have an IP change or something to that effect, it won't work when I run it again. I'm guessing it probably isn't clearing out the old configuration completely, most likely the tun0 interface. It looks like the script is running "ifconfig tun0 destroy" which doesn't work when I run it manually, nor does "ifconfig tun0 deletetunnel". In fact, I can't figure out how to reset the tun0 interface at all. I think this will likely fix it. On the other hand, the log file says the script is completing successfully. Here is the error in the log file: 2005/06/18 00:35:52 tspc: TunMainLoop: Error writing to tun device 2005/06/18 00:35:52 tspc: tspMain: Error is 5: TUNNEL_ERROR This has been going on since I got on DSL and I'm sick of it.

Re: A question about dwnloading Ports
I was sorry because I did not express what I wanna do. I just wanna get the source codes in net cafe, and then, I could copy it to my mobile harddisk, which could let me take home and install it. The computers in net cafe is installed with Windows instead of any kinds of unix-like OS, and it has a considerable bindwidth, which could let me download at the speed of 1MB/s. I could not visit any websites and urls outside China in our dormitory because we use CERN. So, I have to copy what i need in net cafe. What's more, I have a 40GB mobile harddisk which maybe enough for contain the source codes or pre-compiled packages Thanks for your reply. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Random resets - N440BX
Hello all: I have a long running and (so far) very solid Intel N440BX motherboard in an Intel Columbus case, dual P-II 400 Mhz, 512M of ECC RAM, two Fujitsu SCSI-2 drives, etc. For the past 3-4 years, I've run FreeBSD 3.5 through 4.11 on this box, until about a month ago when I noticed that it was down. On investigation, I found out that one of the P-II fansinks had fallen off its CPU. Needless to say, the associated CPU self-destructed. I bought a couple of P-III 550 Mhz CPUs and put them in, and everything was fine, or so I thought. Now I'm experiencing random reboots, no core dumps or log messages and I'm trying to figure out what's gone wrong. I've dug up a few notes indicating that power supply or RAM are suspect.

disk cache tuning
Hello. I have a box with FreeBSD 5.4, where disk subsystem is a bottleneck. It runs several applications which access huge number of files, usually small. They do not require a lot of memory, network I/O is also not very intensive. I have read tuning(7), enabled softupdates, noatime and such. But I have an impression that most of the memory (1Gb) is not really used, while it could be used for disk cache. top(1) reports about 800Mb as inactive, and reading 200-300Mb of information from disk still causes a lot of disk activity. How can I increase the amount of memory used for disk cache without touching other subsystems ? As far as I understand, simply increasing MAXUSERS is not a good idea, because it will also increase NMBCLUSTERS and such, which I do not really want. Please Cc: me as I'm not on this list.

Re: Booting with multiple RAID1 configs
Here is what I did, and the subsequent effect:
(Remember, ad4 and ad6 (promise drives) make up the bootable ar0):
# after 2 brand new drives installed:
- atacontrol create RAID1 ad0 ad2
...at which point it said it was successful, and designated the new RAID
config as ad1.
After reboot, the server comes up, identifies ad0, ad2, ad4 and ad6 as
expected. Then it tries to load up the ar driver. It clearly says ar0
has 2 disks, ad0 and ad2, and ad1 now has ad4 and ad6, which is
backwards from how it should be.
Then it baffs with a mountroot error, and no manner of trying to point
to any disk or array is successful. Mountroot errors 16 and 22 come up.
I pull the new drives back off the motherboard IDE connections, box goes
back to exactly how it was before this mess started.
You might use loader(8) to set the root device ("rootdev" variable)
explicitly to ar1s1a. Then you should also update fstab to reflect the
numbering change.
I don't know of any way to change the ata numbering scheme.
Mainboard controllers always seem to be probed (and numbered)
first. I think there is no way to get your original raid
back to ar0 if you also use your mainboard controllers.

Someone suggested that it could be hyperthreading, but I've got: orion# sysctl machdep.hyperthreading_allowed machdep.hyperthreading_allowed: 0 I've never experienced this kind of instability with FreeBSD before and I dont know why the machine keeps dieing.. any suggestions?

Here is what I did, and the subsequent effect: (Remember, ad4 and ad6 (promise drives) make up the bootable ar0): # after 2 brand new drives installed: - atacontrol create RAID1 ad0 ad2 ...at which point it said it was successful, and designated the new RAID config as ad1. After reboot, the server comes up, identifies ad0, ad2, ad4 and ad6 as expected. Then it tries to load up the ar driver. It clearly says ar0 has 2 disks, ad0 and ad2, and ad1 now has ad4 and ad6, which is backwards from how it should be. Then it baffs with a mountroot error, and no manner of trying to point to any disk or array is successful. Mountroot errors 16 and 22 come up. I pull the new drives back off the motherboard IDE connections, box goes back to exactly how it was before this mess started. I tried to do an atacontrol delete on the new array, but of course it can't find it because the drives are unplugged. Are there any config files that store this information? Sorry for the long winded post. Hopefully it was a little more clear!

Re: filter by program?
John Conner wrote: I was just wondering if it was possible to add program filtering into an IPF firewall? For example if traffic is allowed out on port 80 then it may only travel through this port if, for example, it is coming from firefox etc. It seems like a pretty useful feature but as of yet I have been unable to find any documentation that covers such a filtering rule. IPF, IPFW and PF are all *packet* filters (hence the P in all of them). Packets have no idea which application they originated from or which application is going to receive them. If you aren't sure what a packet is, then you could start with man ip, tcp and udp, move on to relevant RFCs or find a book on networking. I'm sure you could get recommendations here if you asked (and who knows, if you searched the archive you might find some). What you are asking for is *application* level filtering which is generally much harder because the protocols involved are more complicated. To achieve the specific example you mention (allow Firefox, disallow everything else) you might be able to achieve something like that by forcing all your clients to use a proxy server and using that to filter out connections you do not want. Whether anyone has written a proxy server that filters on the client type seems doubtful. That kind of info is easy to spoof (see Opera) and quite what the point would be, I cannot see. If you don't want browsers other than Firefox running then delete them from your systems ;-) --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Booting with multiple RAID1 configs
Hey all, I've been running my 4.11 box on a Promise RAID one card with no difficulty. Today I added 2 new disks to the regular IDE chain, and used atacontrol to create a second RAID1 configuration for those 2 new disks. After I created with atacontrol, it successfully told me an 'ar1' had been created. (ar0 is the promise card). However, after reboot, FBSD is trying to configure the new disks as ar0, and the originals as ar1, causing a mountroot problem. Manually typing ufs:/dev/ar1s1a fails as well with "Root Mount Failed: 22". This can be fixed simply by removing the 2 new disks. In the docs, I found how to boot by telling the os something like this: 1:ad(2,a)kernel, however I don't want to boot from an individual disk. It must be the promise card. I'd appreciate it if someone can help me sort this out!

"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.

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.

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.

If the original poster is just looking for a list of sites that
have the distribution files he's interested in, then
# cd /usr/ports//
# make fetch-recursive-list
would give a list of all sites that have the distribution files.
Its not a very user readable list and a small script might be
helpful:
find_dist_files.sh:
=begin-script=
#!/bin/sh
#Make a list of distfiles needed for a port
tempfile="/tmp/distfiles_list.txt"
make fetch-recursive-list > ${tempfile}
while read line; do
for i in ${line}; do
echo ${i} | grep "^http"
echo ${i} | grep "^ftp"
done
echo
done < ${tempfile}
rm ${tempfile}
=end-of-script===
Make the script excutable and in your path, cd to the port
directory you're interested in and run the script. It'll
give a list of all distribution files needed for a port which
could be redirected to a file to take to some other location
for retrieval, for ex:
cd /usr/ports/www/zope-simpleblog
find_dist_files.sh > mylist.txt
I'm sure there's a multitude of ways to do this but it should give
you some ideas.
HTH,
Randy

Re: Vexing IPF problem
Hello David, Im not expert on IPF but on first inspeciton it would look like the problem is in your first fxp0 rule: block in log quick on fxp0 from any to any with ipopts To the best of my knowledge when quick is added the firewall does not look at any of the other rules. If this is the case having quick in the above rule would cause the firewall to block every incoming packet.

RE: Vexing IPF problem
1. Best thing is scrap your firewall rules and use the IPF rules listed in the firewall/ipfilter section of the official handbook. 2.

Subversion upgrade problems (1.1.3 to 1.2.0)
I have been running subversion 1.1.3 for about a month with no problems. I just upgraded to 1.2.0 and now I can't connect the the server anymore. I am using svnserve on FreeBSD 5.4. When I try and connect, I get: svn: Can't connect to host 'xx.net': Connection refused I have tried connecting from my XP machine and from the local machine and I get the same error. I can connect from the local machine using file://. I have tried creating a new repository and a new project to make sure it is not a compatibility issue with my 1.1.3 repositories, but I get the same error. I've tried anon-access as well as auth-access with the same results. I have verified that the server is running (via ps). I can't see any place that svnserve is writing error logs. I am starting svnserve via: svnserve -d -r /home/svn/repository I've tried running svnserve using --foreground and nothing is printed to the screen. I sounds like the connection is never even getting to svnserve. Did something change from 1.1.3? Port? Nothing has changed on the machine. It was working. I upgraded (using ports) and now it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Re: FreeBSD/UNIX backups to DVD+RW
What I was doing did work fine for me; I just couldn't add multiple dumps to the same disk. It turns out this was the wrong way to do it. I'm not sure how a 32K block size would help. The -B4589840 I used tells dump that the 'tape' it will be writing to can hold 4589840 kb (4.37 Gs), the size of a standard dvd. Unfortunately, growisofs provides direct access to the DVD and dump does not use a ISO compliant file format, so growisofs cannot find the end of the last session (who knew? :). I was told the way to do this properly is to dump a partition to a file in say /tmp/fullbackup/, gzip it, and repeat until I have all the partitions. Then write /tmp/fullbackup to the dvd: (Note, I added -B10485760 to limit backups to 10 G's. You have to give dump some -B value or it will attempt to write out a catalog of standard size tapes. You should adjust this value to whatever meets your needs.) # dump -0 -uL -C16 -B10485760 -f /tmp/fullbackup/usr.dumpfull /usr # gzip /tmp/fullbackup/usr.dumpfull # dump -0 -uL -C16 -B10485760 -f /tmp/fullbackup/var.dumpfull /var # gzip /tmp/fullbackup/var.dumpfull # dump -0 -uL -C16 -B10485760 -f /tmp/fullbackup/home.dumpfull /home # gzip /tmp/fullbackup/home.dumpfull # dump -0 -uL -C16 -B10485760 -f /tmp/fullbackup/root.dumpfull / # gzip /tmp/fullbackup/root.dumpfull # growisofs -speed=4 -Z /dev/cd0 -J -R /tmp/fullbackup If you're pressed for space, you can do the above, but write each file to the dvd before removing the gzipped dump file and creating the next one. The first file would be written with the -Z (new session) option, then the rest with the -M (append) option instead. If this still takes too much space, I suppose you could try to pipe the dump directly to gzip, but I couldn't figure out how. If anybody knows, please reply. To do a restore, I found the following works: - Recreate the partition (in my case this would involve playing with gmirror first in the event of catastrophic disk/system failure) - cd into the mounted partition (ex, cd /usr) - mount the backup dvd and restore: # cd /usr # mount -t cd9660 /dev/ /cdrom # restore -rfv -P 'gunzip -c /cdrom/usrfullbackupfilename.gz' But don't take my word for it, you should always do a test restore (into /tmp if necessary if you haven't any blank hard drives handy) before a catastrophic event happens to make sure the process works smoothly.

If it doesn't work, try: ifconfig_wi0="ssid tmobile DHCP" The other option is to put the manual commands in an executable file at: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tmobile.sh That way the manual commands would be executed automatically at bootup. Caveat: The delayed network configuration may interfere with the loading of firewall rules; so you may need to add a line to the script to load your firewall rules after wi0 is up.

ipf: filter by program?
Hello all, I was just wondering if it was possible to add program filtering into an IPF firewall? For example if traffic is allowed out on port 80 then it may only travel through this port if, for example, it is coming from firefox etc. It seems like a pretty useful feature but as of yet I have been unable to find any documentation that covers such a filtering rule.

Re: FreeBSD/UNIX backups to DVD+RW
I'm trying to setup backups to the DVD-RW drive on our new server before it goes into production.

A test restore comes out clean: # restore -Nxvb /dev/cd0 The problem is most of the partitions are tiny (< 1G) and I would like to fit more then one partition on each DVD. I figured just passing -M (append data) instead of -Z (new session) would do it: # dump -0 -uL -C16 -a -P 'growisofs -speed=4 -M /dev/cd0=/dev/fd/0' /home But growisofs fails with :-( /dev/cd0 doesn't look like isofs..., and of course dump fails with "Broken pipe". Any clues to how to get this to work? (Webpage link is sufficient if there is something out there. I couldn't find one.) I'm fairly new to the FreeBSD/UNIX world, so please be gentle.

Apple hasn't provided source for it's iCal app, and Palm certainly hasn't provided source for the syncer program that goes from a Palm Pilot to the MacOS X, so this is still just as bad as syncing to Palm Desktop on a windows box then outputting in comma-delimited, then pulling that into Horde (or equivalent) Ted ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

To make sure kshrc makes use of it you also have to put > ENV=~/.kshrc" > export ENV" into your ~/.profile. Most shells will use emacs mode as default. In my opinion you'll have to change the source code to get a different default setting for pdksh.

You can find tightvnc in the ports. Tightvnc has a small web server that allows access to your desktop from a remote internet browser. Unfortunately, this does not facilitate remote syncing of your palm device. To view tightvnc from a web browser, point your url to your desktop machine using port 5800 + the display number. Example: I sync my palm pilot using the jpilot port. I invoke tightvnc on display 1 on my desktop at hostname.com using: vncserver :1 To run my desktop from a remote browser, I would point my browser to: http://hostname.com:5801 Then I run jpilot on my desktop. I hope this helps. Andrew Gould ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
