Still, the problem remains.  Something is broken in this particular case
and that is *NOT* the CVSROOT environment value the original poster is
using.

No, the funny thing is that this is a server side problem, but you seem
to believe, for some reason, that switching clients is going to fix it :-/

Sorry, it won't.

Mostly likely burncd won't work with DVD drives at all. I get exactly 
the same error messages with an LG drive. There might be technical 
reasons for this behaviour because DVD writers work in a different way 
than CD writers. This is just an assumption; I don't know exactly.

Have a look at cfengine.  Its in ports.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports/sysutils/cfengine2$ cat pkg-descr 
Cfengine, or the configuration engine is an agent/software robot and a
very high level language for building expert systems to administrate
and configure large computer networks. Cfengine uses the idea of
classes and a primitive form of intelligence to define and automate
the configuration and maintenance of system state, for small to huge
configurations. Cfengine is designed to be a part of a computer immune
system.

Stress testing and TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA

[Anthony Chavez]

Greetings, freebsd-questions!

I've got a number of machines to deploy in very critical locations
*very* soon, so I'd appreciate any expedient responses that I can get
about this.

I have been affected by the recent issues surrounding the recent ATA
driver changes in the 5.x branch.  I'm currently tracking RELENG_5_4
(FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p6) on systems with ICH4 and ICH6 UDMA controllers.

I recently applied Soeren's patch [1] on an ICH4 system, and put a
significant write load (/usr/ports/sysutils/stress -i4 -d4) on it for
almost 2 weeks.  Here are the results:

Aug 13 21:10:01 witproto sudo:  acc : TTY=ttyp5 ; PWD=/usr/home/acc ; 
USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/local/bin/stress -i 4 -d 4
Aug 19 21:31:14 witproto kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries 
left) LBA=7879615
Aug 21 07:59:57 witproto kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries 
left) LBA=3775775
Aug 23 23:01:41 witproto kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries 
left) LBA=5560159
Aug 25 12:06:50 witproto kernel: ad0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries 
left) LBA=5786623

FWIW, my hardware is:

atapci0:  port 
0xffa0-0xffaf,0x376,0x170-0x177,0x3f6,0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 18 at device 31.1 on pci0
ad0: 76293MB  at ata0-master UDMA100

During the test, the drive remained in UDMA100 mode and throughput
varied from 18ish to 50ish MB/s (eyeball average approx. 20-25 MB/s).
System load is 0.00 0.06 0.45 after killing stress.

My question is simply this: is the fact that I received 4 TIMEOUT
warnings in the space of roughly 2 weeks significant cause for concern?

Forwarding mail to another server

[Pat Maddox]

My ISP (Bresnan) blocks outgoing traffic on port 25.  I'd like to make
it so that the mail program automatically forwards requests to my
ISP's mail server, instead of trying to directly send mail to the
appropriate server.

For example, if I did
mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And sent a message, my machine would send that to mail.bresnan.net and
have them pass it on.  Is it possible to do that?  If so, how?

Thanks, Pat

I use the port mail/ssmtp for this purpose. This is a small program that 
sends all mails via a relay server. After you have installed it you will 
find some example configuration files in /usr/local/etc/ssmtp. Alter 
also the entries in /etc/mail/mailer.conf to


sendmail/usr/local/sbin/ssmtp
send-mail   /usr/local/sbin/ssmtp
mailq   /usr/local/sbin/ssmtp
newaliases  /usr/local/sbin/ssmtp
hoststat/usr/bin/true
purgestat   /usr/bin/true

That's a good option.  Another good option is to modify the main host.mc
file in /etc/mail to include a line like:

define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.isp.com')

with `mail.isp.com' being the outgoing mail gateway of the ISP.

I'm not sure where I should send this. /sbin/restore on FreeBSD 6.0
beta 3 does not recognise dump files off a netapp:

zoe# /sbin/restore -if ./vol1_LEVEL1_2005-08-23 
Tape is not a dump tape

restore on a FreeBSD 4.7 box does however and works fine.

You could set the UseDNS option in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to no. I found 
this helps when there is no available DNS servers.

rlimitmem isn't supposed to control the httpd processes, but things
that they fork, like CGI scripts.  If you want to limit the Apache

cd /etc/mail
make all
  this will create a FQDN.mc file (f.e. myhost.mydomain.com.mc)
  edit this file and uncomment the SMART_HOST line and insert an
  SMTP server that will relay mail for you
  example: define(`SMART_HOST', `mailrelay.myisp.com')
make cf install restart

Done!

It sounds like you are configuring the "user" hosts so that their
network interfaces are PPPoE tunnels.  If you don't configure them to
understand the Ethernet as a subnet, they won't know how to send
packets directly to each other.

Unable to write to disk during installation

[Mattia Popolla]

I'm trying to install FreeBSD/i386 5.3-RELEASE
FROM A DOS PARTITION.

I have two HD units, with no partitions:
Primary master - C: - ad0 (the "primary partition")
Secondary master - D: - ad2

I copied the distribution in C:/FREEBSD.
Booting FreeBSD from floppies I get some error messages,
like these:

ad2: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51 error4: aborted   LBA 1
ad2: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51 error4: aborted   LBA 1
ad2: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51 error4: aborted   LBA 2
ad2: FAILURE - READ_DMA status=51 error4: aborted   LBA 1
...

During standard installation I choose to
devote all space in unit ad2 to FreeBSD.
But installation fails in the last step
showing these (expected) messages:

"ERROR: unable to write data to disk ad2!"
"Couldn't make FileSystems properly. Aborting"

Unit ad2 is an old 1624 MB Western Digital HD
(model WDC AC31600H, PIO MODE 4, no ULTRA DMA)
but IT IS NOT FAILING, all the clusters are OK,
and it works perfectly with MS DOS/Windows.
I've also freshly formatted it using the MS-DOS FORMAT command.

Can this be a driver problem?
The other HD (unit ad0) seems to work,
but I can't make partitions in it!
What can I do? Please help me!!!

Thanks for your support,
and sorry for my bad english!

Hi

 


I'm trying to put FreeBSD on an older machine, that currently has Linux
installed. It is a 1 GHz Athlon with a Via KT266 chipset. The disk

The problem is that FreeBSD does not find the harddisk when booting
from
the install CD. The boot loader does, though. This happens both with
5.4-RELEASE and 6.0-beta1.
   




I'm new working on unix/freeBSD. I had the same problem and solved it
upgrading the Motherboard's BIOS.  
 
I hope it can help you...
 



I was hoping that this would also solve my ATA Identify Timeout problem,

I updated the bios on my systemboard and still have the problem with any 
version of FreeBSD

later than 4.11.  I also have a VIA chipset.

Problem with Epia 800 and Freebsd 5.3

[Lord Raiden]

Just installed 5.3 onto an Epia 800 just a few weeks back and aside from 
the controlers being bloody picky as hell (got that fixed by using special 
cables), the stupid lan card is now giving me fits just a day after I put 
it into active service.  Here's the error I'm getting in my logs repeatedly.


> vr0: rx packet lost
> vr0: watchdog timeout

I rebooted it to clear the error and see if anything else showed up, and so 
far no errors since reboot.  But I suspect that the errors will come back 
in short order.  Anyone got any idea what's up with the box and what I 
might do to fix this?  I checked the cable already like what was suggested 
in another forum post on another site that I googled, but I can't find 
anything else that stands out as being something that might be the cause of 
this issue.  And yes, this board seems very picky under BSD, but it tested 
fine when I loaded windowsxp onto it when I was first testing it.  Go 
figure.  Any ideas?

What about installing 5.4-Release or -Stable? 5.4-Stable works fine here
on an EPIA PD1. If you still get the error, it might be hardware
related.

First time gateway/router

[Derrill Guilbert]

Is there a walkthrough or something online to teach me how to make a 
freebsd box into a gateway/firewall? I've not ever run a FreeBSD box 
that wasn't already behind some other kind of firewall, and don't want 
to screw it up.

You could also search your /etc/hosts.allow for the following line:

Comment it out and see if it fixes your problem.

It's not really a walk through, but you'll get the idea on how to do it. 
Check out the FreeBSD documentation at the below URL. Look at sections 
26.2.3 and 26.2.4.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-routing.html

Here's another one, a bit more of a walkthrough. If you don't need IPSEC 
then you can probably skip those steps:

Re: Forwarding mail to another server

[Joe Auty]

You can setup an MTA like Postfix to respond to an alternate port in  
addition to port 25. So, for me, I send mail on port 2525 to my SMTP  
server which requires authentication over SSL.


If this sort of setup is not feasible for you, would a .forward file  
in your home directory do what you want?

mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

And sent a message, my machine would send that to mail.bresnan.net and
have them pass it on.  Is it possible to do that?  If so, how?

Re: wine error

[Joe Auty]

At one point I tried very hard to get Wine to work under FreeBSD, but  
it was very frustrating because Wine is pre-beta software right now  
designed for Linux. It is hard enough to get it to work under Linux!


My suggestion would be to install and setup VMWare 3 on FreeBSD, this  
works quite well. Either that, or wait for a FreeBSD port of  
Crossover Office.


Hint: you'll need to Google for the file the vmware3 port looks for  
in /usr/ports/distfiles =)

Re: Forwarding mail to another server

[Pat Maddox]

Hey guys, thanks for all the advice so far.  I initially went with
ssmtp, that seemed to be working alright, but some of my emails are
getting...lost.  They probably bounce, but because I don't have an
SMTP server running on my machine, I'm not getting those bounces.

I wanted to try Daniel's method, using SMART_HOST.  So I removed the
ssmtp port and, made the changes back to /etc/mail/mailer.conf, and
followed his instructions.  None of the messages go through, they
always end up on my local machine with the message "Failed to route
address."  Any ideas on what to do?

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions

[Greg Lehey]

How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions.
===

Last update $Date: 2005/08/10 02:21:44 $

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 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.  You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to
  Fr

"The Complete FreeBSD": errata and addenda

[Greg Lehey]

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.

Try these in kernel

Tell me if that imporves or makes worse.


Well I did the kernel part, but wasn't sure how you wanted me to disable 
APIC. I looked in the BIOS but don't see any setting like "APIC On/Off", 
but there is a few settings for a few IRQ's, and they are set to "Auto". 
If I go to those options, it shows on one of the IRQ's the network 
controller and one of the ata controllers, but only gives me the option 
to change the IRQ for both of them.


After doing the kernel and rebooting, I tried again. From what I can 
tell, there is no change. I untarred a large source file again while 
playing audio, and about the same result. The mouse also froze several 
times when the audio was stuttering too, however most of the time I just 
sat back and listened and watched it untar.


I tried to make an audio clip of the stuttering, but for some reason in 
the clip it doesn't sound half as bad as it did when coming out. I am 
not sure why, since I took the exact output of the sound card, ran it 
through a mixer here, and then back in. It should sound equally bad if 
not worse, but here is a link to the 45 second clip:


http://www.tntpowerhost.com/mixx941/samples/SoundCardExample1.ogg

I took the last 45 seconds or so of the untar because when recording it, 
it sounded the worst. However it's not terrible in this clip...the last 
10 seconds or so is right when it finished and is playing "normal".

gdm question.

[Gary Kline]

To the Gnome-savvy out there,

About a week ago I had reason to reboot this server.  I
had set the gdm_enable variable to ="YES" and when things
came up again, *voila*, I logged into my gdk account anf
Gnome churned up!!  I logged out, then tried to login to
kline.  My std login still uses ctwm.  For some reason
gdm kicked me off; could the default except to see 
"exec gnome_session"? and if not, the user is out of luck?
Did I miss some setting on gdm?

thanks guys,

gary

Did you actually uncomment the line? If it starts with "dnl" it is
considered a comment. Did you preserve the `' around the names? Can you
"telnet mailrelay.myisp.com 25" and have it reply properly?

You can also try to bump up the log level and see if /var/log/maillog
gives you any more hints. There are several ways to bump the loglevel,
but I usually just add the following line to the .mc file (and "make cf
install restart"):
define(`confLOG_LEVEL', `25')

Another thing you could try is to use square brackets around the
mailrelay, like so:
define(`SMART_HOST', `[mailrelay.myisp.com]')
This will force Sendmail to connect directly to that host, instead of
doing a DNS lookup for MX pointers.

GDM works on sessions.  You would need to create a ctwm session.  See
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q16 for more details.  And
yes, GDM should work with ctwm.

I'm seeing this all the time on my EPIA 5000 boards with RELENG_5.
It's nothing really serious, unless you're using NFS (like in many
diskless setups). If you get long NFS delays because of this, try
mounting using TCP. It should solve the problem.

If OTOH you don't notice any problems, you can ignore this message.
TCP would send or request the dropped packets fast enough in most
cases...

Why would mountd die?

We are having a problem on a 5.4 NFS server where at times
mountd seems to be just "disappearing". Is there a good way to track
that this happens, or to find out what causes it to die?

cpio and tar are loosing flags (and a panic message without trace)

[Emanuel Strobl]

Hello,

hmm, once again me. And again with a probably not so common problem.
I need to replicate files, exactly like they are!
I thought cpio was the deal, but no way, I tried several -H formats but 
that hasn't changed anything. As soon as a file gets restored the flag 
arch is reset, same with nodump.
Then I remember Tim Kienzles great work for bsdtar and all the ACL stuff, 
but unfortunately a cvPPzf <> xvpPfz also looses the arch flag :(
My temporary solution is the following, but I don't liek it:

for n in `/usr/bin/cpio -idmuv --quiet < ${varmfs_bufferdev} 2>&1`
  do /bin/chflags arch $n
done

Dump is no alternative since I have to archive just selected files, cpio's 
behaviour is the one I like most for my needs.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

-Harry

P.S.: Here's a little panic I had today on my embedded system (RELENG_6 
from today!), no debug kernel, too less memory, but if anybody's 
interested, here's the message:

Yes, I read your email and responded to it yesterday. I said:

-
I found the sound skipping thread by Jeff. Looks like a great 
explanation, however my problem even occurs even with light disk I/O 
such as reading an mp3/Ogg/video file off any of the drives. I did some 
more testing with actual files off the drives last night instead of 
streams, and it seems worse with actual files.


I'm not sure if the proposed patch will fix it or not, and trying 
6.0-BETA2 for my other hardware/hard drive problem just introduced new 
problems (panics, network stuff not recognized, etc). I do have a spare 
hard drive where I could put test anything though if you think trying 
-CURRENT or another BETA would be worthwhile.

-

So, in other words, even when there is NOT heavy disk I/O it still has 
problems, although they do get worse with more disk I/O. I don't know if 
you saw my previous replies, but trying 5.4-STABLE on my Athlon XP 2000+ 
instead of 5.4-RELEASE seemed to make it much better on that machine 
(however still not perfect).


I was wondering if the code that fixed it in 6 was merged to 5-STABLE or 
if the patch was already committed to 5-STABLE? I haven't tried -STABLE 
on my amd64 yet though.

Fine English, but I don't understand.  I'm sorry if there
is some standard install method like this I'm unaware of.

Yeah, but you copied to it where?  How did you copy it?  What
commands to computer?

Does "Booting FreeBSD" mean "booting FreeBSD "kern.flp" floppy, or
what?  When do you get those messages?  You usually should also report
messages seen just before and just after your problem messages.

The latter was a waste of time, except maybe as a kind of test.  The
results of the format was just some change of data on the disk
partition, which the FreeBSD install doesn't care about.

It does look like a driver problem, to this amateur -- no driver
expert.  It seems to have detected a PIO device as a DMA device.  I'd
check my BIOS setup to see if I can force PIO instead of DMA.  I'd try
removing the slave device, if any.  If desparate, try swaping
primary-secondary.  At last resort, maybe a BIOS update.  That's all I
can think of, other than the standard support advice of trying to
install a more recent (or even older) OS version.

not really an answer to your question, but.. i'm using 6.0-BETA3 here
with basically the same controller and a SATA maxtor disc (and 1
IDE-disc + 2 dvd-drives) without problems :

pciconf -lv|grep SATA
device   = 'VT8237  VT6410 SATA RAID Controller'

$ dmesg |grep ad6
ad6: 190782MB  at ata3-master SATA150

are there possible BIOS-options for the SATA on your machine ?

The bios seems to recognize the drive allright, and so does the boot
loader. But the bios is quite old, so I'll give it a try.

sata trouble

[Armin Pirkovitsch]

Hi!

 I wonder whether anyone here can help me with a little problem:
I just bought a notebook with a VIA VT 6421 sata controller and a 
Samsung HM080JI sata harddisk.
The controller is recognized with 6.0 B3 but it can't identify the 
harddisk - i get the following error:


unknown: timeout waiting to issue command
unknown: error issueing ATA_IDENTIFY command
unknown: timeout waiting to issue command
unknown: error issueing ATA_IDENTIFY command

when I boot the system in verbose mode I can see that there is a hd
ata2: SATA connect ready time=0ms
ata2: sata_connect devices=0x1
ata2: [MPSAFE]

after that the error from above follows...

Does anyone have an idea how to solve my problem (I honestly hate the 
idea to use Linux or worse Windows on the notebook)


thanks in advance,

DJB's daemontools come to mind, also Big Brother (www.bb4.org) can monitor a 
system, keeping track of the running processes, and yell (ie, email you, page 
you, etc) if something bad happens.


The first step is to look for log messages (see mountd's "-d" flag), and to 
unlimit coredumpsize (see /etc/login.conf and the shell environment) and see 
whether you can get a coredump for gdb.


It'll help to rebuild mountd with -g for debugging purposes...

I've been following this thread, yet I still don't know what is your
soundcard. To tell you the truth, much of these issues relies heavily
on your spesific sound driver, whether it has been freed from Giant or
not. At least:

1) What is your soundcard?
2) What type of scheduler you use? (I can see that is SCHED_4BSD)
3) Is PREEMPTION enabled?

Well the thing that makes me think it's not entirely related to sound is 
because when the sound problem happens, other things happen as well. As 
I have said, the mouse locks up and freezes at the precise time that the 
audio starts stuttering. If I was playing video, it would freeze/stutter 
at the same time too.



1) What is your soundcard?


Sound Blaster Augidy 2 Platinum with the emu10k1 driver compiled into 
the kernel.



2) What type of scheduler you use? (I can see that is SCHED_4BSD)


Right, SCHED_4BSD in the GENERIC kernel.


3) Is PREEMPTION enabled?


No, not that I know of. I don't see it in GENERIC, and I haven't added it.

Interrupt Storm Dell PowerEdge 1850

[John Straiton]

Hello,

I am attempting to install 5.4R on a brand new Dell PowerEdge 1850  
machine. The installation goes perfectly however after the reboot, I  
am unable to log into the machine (or in this case, create the  
entropy salt)


I have noticed 2 quirky behaviors with this machine.
1)  I get to just about the "local package" time of boot when I start  
seeing

Interrupt storm detected on "irq18: uhci"; throttling interrupt source

While not a solution, I got this to go away by disabling the USB  
ports on the system in the BIOS. I only mention it because it's the  
only other "new" behaviour I'm seeing on this machine versus the  
other boxes I maintain.


2) The keyboard works until the devd detects a PS2 keyboard and  
installs the device for it.
As in, I can pick which way I'd like to boot FreeBSD from the menu  
and can hit keys during the probing but as soon as I see the message  
that it's set up the keyboard, bam..nonresponsive.


As a test, I installed 4.11R on the machine tonight and it works  
flawlessly. The only problem is that the machine this was intending  
to replace is already running 5.2+ so I'll need to get this one into  
the 5.X arena somehow.


Thoughts?

Right.  Now, if it's not too much trouble to ask, please run the following
commands and show me the output.  You don't have to be root when these are
run:

# cd /etc/mail

It seems you have no local `hostname`.mc file, so you probably lost some
changes in the mergemaster run of the update.  Can you check out the
differences of your ``/etc/mail/freebsd.mc'' file and the one that is
part of the source tree, at ``/usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc'' ?

Ok, thanks.


The first step is to look for log messages (see mountd's "-d" flag),



:-/ Logs to sysout, so can't be run from the /etc/rc.d/mountd. Was
hoping to have it log to syslog. I guess I could wrap a shell around it.


Or use -d with daemontools, that's pretty much the intended purpose.

The thing is, watch out for binding with portmap or whatever it's called 
nowadays (rpc.portmapd? rpcbind?), you can feed mountd the -p flag, but you 
might have to adjust the clients then, too.



and to unlimit coredumpsize (see /etc/login.conf and the shell
environment) and see whether you can get a coredump for gdb.


If its run as root, isn't coredumpsize already unlimited?


Maybe.  Kinda depends on what the default is and whether it's been changed 
somewhere down the line.  It's something to check.  :-)



It'll help to rebuild mountd with -g for debugging purposes...



If I can get it to do the core, might be the best idea.

I decided to run it in a screen to see if I can see maybe something
that way. If it gives a clue, maybe won't have to increase coredumpsize
and compile with debug for gdb.

Yeah, I've seen that network flakyness with vr0 on my EPIA M8000 (or whatever

Whatever... I guess you didn't read the message I posted about 3 minutes after 
the first that said: "Anyway, the command:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/eclipsexul co -P 
com.orangevolt.eclipse.xul

worked fine for me."

Did you read that one?  No, I bet you didn't read message #9 from vol 109, 
issue 16.  Explain to me how I managed to checkout sources just fine if it's a 
server-side problem as you claim???  Anyway, that's not even the point.  The 
point is, don't fuggin' carbon-copy me only to tell me I'm a dummy.  In 
addition, how can you manage to say "Still, the problem remains." - shouldn't 
the person having the problem be the one to claim that it remains???  Am I 
missing something here?

Also, if you couldn't tell that my initial message was only a tangent to the 
guy's issue, you probably have issues of your own.  I wasn't trying to solve 
his problem outright, I was simply recommending Eclipse's CVS perspective.  I 
happened to find it odd that this dude is trying to manipulate a CVS repository 
for a project that is longing to enhance Eclipse, but he isn't using Eclipse to 
checkout the code.  Naturally there are reasons for this (thus I followed my 
message with another).

I mean, it's like I try to offer some friendly advice and right away some 
random jerk is emailing me personally.  You wanna contribute to the list 
George?  Don't fuggin' email me directly and CC the list, stupid!  If I wanna 
read your drivel, I'll read the list - I don't need to see messages from you 
personally in my inbox.  Did you want to insure that I know you are a jerk?  
You've done a good job of that.  After all, if you didn't send your email to me 
directly, there is the chance I would have never read your message in the list 
and thus I wouldn't have gotten a chance to put you on my 'pay no mind' list.  
I suppose I should thank you for that.

This is exactly why I hate so many people.  I just try to give the dude some 
reasonably decent advice... after all the CVS integration in Eclipse is pretty 
darn good.  And immediately some friggin idiot (not even the guy who I intended 
the advice for) jumps all over me.

It doesn't take a genius to read between the lines of message 12, Vol 109, 
issue 16.  There isn't much there except you trying to tell me that I'm an 
idiot.  Please don't post a message to the list just to tell me I'm dumb.  It 
isn't really productive, and you just might make yourself out to look like the 
bigger fool.

How about instead of belittling the advice I offer, you take it with a grain of 
salt and keep your big fuggin' yap shut, because you know what... I bet it is a 
client side problem.  After all, I managed to c/o sources from that project 
fine, in addition the dude said he hasn't used CVS in a long time, and honestly 
what are the odds that out of over 100,000 projects on sourceforge this 
particular one (with an admitted CVS newbie at the helm) is having repository 
problems?  But, if it is a server-side problem... fine (I've been wrong before, 
I'll be wrong again), just don't email me personally with the sole intention of 
telling me that I'm an idiot.

You wanna CC me or send me email directly, fine... but put more content in the 
message besides 'ha ha, you are wrong'.  Okay?

These are my suggestions:
1) enable 'options PREEMPTION'. This is a MUST.
2) use SCHED_ULE instead of SCHED_4BSD. ULE is pretty stable on me,
   but I can't guarantee (especially combining with PREEMPTION).
   It doesn't hurt to give it a try.

Come to think of it, no. I tried using a USB keyboard in 4.11 and  
although I got a message on console to the effect of it seeing the  
keyboard I had just added, I was not able to log in until I swapped  
to a PS2 one.


I think I'm going to just load a WinServer image on it long enough to  
see what errors pop up in that realm and try to gather a more  
extensive list of behaviours.

Re: Wine

[Frank Jahnke]

Wine is a difficult program to use, particularly on FreeBSD.  

Please note first that it is in the FreeBSD ports collection
(/usr/ports/emulators/wine), and not of the CD.  That version should be
20050725.  You should patch it according to
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2005-July/001181.html
; that will get rid of a heap error you will otherwise get.

So far colleagues and I have a few successes.  Photoshop 7 runs very
well, as does Acrobat 4.0 (note: not the Reader, but Acrobat), but not
the distiller.  I almost have Excel and Word from Office 2000 working,
but there are a few major bugs, like the ability to save a file (!).
Excel in particular works very well otherwise.  

I have fiddled with the installation so much, though, that I'm not sure
I'd be able to reproduce the steps so you could install it.  I suppose I
will have to reinstall Wine and try a second time once it works.

Finally, I am initiating a petition encouraging CodeWeavers to release
CrossOver Office on FreeBSD.  It will be announced next week, and I will
post a copy of the announcement here.  

After working with Wine a bit, I find it frustratingly tantalizing, but
very difficult to get just right.  The documentation, such as it is, is
awful.  So a professionally-supported product would be a great help, I
think.

Nothing weird here.  My procmail executable even has the same size :-)

If we assume that you did generate your current sendmail.cf from the
source version of freebsd.mc, then this looks a lot like a procmail
ruleset problem.  I'll take another good look at your procmail rules,
but in the mean time can you try with a minimal .procmailrc and see
if this unbreaks it all?

$ cd
$ cp .procmailrcA dot.procmailrc~
$ echo 'DEFAULT="$HOME/Mailbox"' > .procmailrc

If that works, then we are certain that the old rules are broken.

See what raid arrays are?

[Matt Juszczak]

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a way to see the RAID setup of a freebsd 
machine without rebooting it.  I Know I've got 5 drives in the system, and 
I know that da0 is 36 gig, da1 is 140 gig, and da2 is 18 gig, but I dont 
know how the five drives play out among those arrays.


I'm PRETTY sure (pretty sure!) that da0 is a raid 1 and da1 is a raid 1 
and da2 is just a stand alone 18 gig drive, but I'd love to know for sure.


dmesg doesn't say much, probably because this is hardware raid so the 
system itself only sees one drive even if there is more. was wondering 
if there's a way to go above that restriction.


Thanks!

-Matt

How to find the cause of core dump

[Pang]

Hello all,
 I have got a lot of signal 11 on dmesg
pid 62519 (httpd), uid 398: exited on signal 11

 I am sure it is software problem, since I just moved all the things to 
a new servers and I still got these errors. So, I need to find the cause 
of the problem, but I don't know where to start.


 Could any one tell me what I should do first?

Thanks
Pang

you can set your optimise-flags in /etc/make.conf
(see /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf)

with FreeBSD you can have gnome, KDE, xfce4 and more, it's up to you
which one you'd like to use

Maybe you didn't do your homework to narrow in on it? or maybe you're 
just asking random questions hoping someone will do it for you?

You can compile your kernel for the processor of your need, see the 
handbook.

I think all filesystems are supposed to be the fastest, but not all meet 
that goal. Will the speed affect you in real life? If not, why does it 
matter?


It's usually a good idea to: first identify the problem, then the 
requirements for it's solution, then see what will solve your problem.



what GUI does freeBSD kde or gnome or is it CUI


See the handbook, faq etc. The base system provides a console, you can 
install X and your favorite WM and choice of bloatware.


Cheers, Erik

You'll have to make it yourself. Install FreeBSD, change the CFLAGS (for
userland programs) and COPTFLAGS (for the kernel) to what you want, and
rebuild the system as documented in the Handbook.

The internals of Linux and FreeBSD are different, so "support"-ing it is
a nontrivial effort. However, a (currently read-only) port to FreeBSD is
being worked on: http://www.dumbbell.fr/projects/reiserfs/index.en.html

I'm not sure if this project will ever be included into the FreeBSD
kernel. This port uses the Namesys's code, which is GPL-ed. Linking this
into the FreeBSD would mean (IANAL) putting the kernel under GPL.

> what GUI does freeBSD kde or gnome or is it CUI

FreeBSD runs the X Window System, like all UNIX systems. You can use
whatever window manager / environment you like, including KDE or Gnome.

Re: anonymous ssh forwarding

[James Bowman Sineath, III]

I would highly discourage you from doing this, especially without the 
permission of your company. Just make sure that your admin knows that you 
are doing this and make sure that your BSD box at home is properly secured. 
Keep in mind that if your system at home is compromised then your system at 
work is open to attack.


Anyhow, couldn't you just ssh into your box at home and then ssh to the 
system at work from there?  I think this would be an easier and safer 
solution than creating a tunnel.

Subject: anonymous ssh forwarding


Hello,
I have the following situation. Our company has a ssh server where users can 
connect from only specified static ip addresses. Like I have at home an ip 
address 1.2.3.4 and ssh server accepts connections only from it.
Now I wan't to get access to that ssh server from places where I don't have 
static ip.
I already have at home a freebsd server running with simple configutation. 
Is it possible to make some kind of tunnel or something so I could connect 
to my home freebsd machine that connects to ssh server so that ssh server 
'thinks' that I'm connecting from home?


Thank you in advance.

Sorry for bad English
