Donkeys crash FreeBSD6
Hi: I have tried using both mldonkey and xmule on my FreeBSD6, and both are able to crash the system. I have used mostly mldonkey, and even running only the core the system crashes at unknown events: It has happened on FBSD 5.4 and 6.0 with & without X and other applications running. I also suspect mldonkey to have destroyed one disk. Yesterday I tried xmule, but it only ran 4 hours then the system crashed. I am fairly certain that no other program is causing the crash, it happens only if one of these are running and independent on what other applications are running. Without xmule or mldonkey running my system is stable as rock. Any ideas of what is going on? Did IFPI add some evil patch? Any working alternatives?

We have a configuration with 64 groups and it is pretty stable. We modified the sources: /usr/include/sys/syslimits.h /usr/src/sys/sys/syslimits.h and put the NGROUPS_MAX to 64. Then we rebuilt everything and now it just works.

Sasa, Setting up X-Windows with XDM and KDE is covered in detail in the manual. You really should read it as unlike Windows or some flavors of Linux you will not get far. You could have found the answers to the questions you have asked in the manual, including this. The section is: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html KDE is generic and does not always sit well with FreeBSD which is better run from the command line as it is more suited to server applications which can do without the overhead of the GUI. BTW I have found that the easiest way of setting the screen resolution is to delete the unused settings so hat the scree section only has one in it.

RE: Polling For 100 mbps Connections? (Was Re: Freebsd Theme Song)
actually, I tested the ping-flooder from the my-security.net link and surprisingly it works under W2K. At least, enough to be able to get the FreeBSD system it was targeted at to start instituting ICMP limiting. I have no idea if it could in fact actually saturate a 100BaseT connection, or in fact if any Win2K system could. The presumption was that if Sasa was indeed interesting in running it, we could move on to a bit more sophistication, such as packet-counting access lists on the FreeBSD router that he's publishing stats from. Once we get some numbers from that, we could begin doing some rudimentary math to see what we have. Unfortunately, though, looks like Sasa has lost interest in the project when it started to require some effort to do. :-( Ted >-Original Message- >From: Danial Thom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 10:32 AM >To: Ted Mittelstaedt; Sasa Stupar; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >Subject: RE: Polling For 100 mbps Connections?

kern.mxdsiz option and ld-elf incompatibility
Hello: I am a newbie in FreeBSD. For the last days I am installing FreeBSD 6.0 and the usual tools I use in Linux. I installed 'wine' and it worked perfectly, but a problem appeared when changing a kernel boot option. I defined ' kern.maxdsiz="1500M" ' in the /boot/loader.conf file in order to enlarge available data for my programs. My computer has 750Mb physical RAM and 1521Mb swap space. When defining high amounts of datasize using this kernel option, wine complains with a "/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found". But when defining moderated amounts of datasize, for example kern.maxdsiz="700M", it works fine. Is it a kernel bug, or do I have to tweak some other kernel options?

RE: FreeBSD router two DSL connections
> Which is not redundant. > Considering the OP asked for specifics on how to do this and your > response as been a bunch of theoretical gobbdleygook that is flat out > wrong network theory, you haven't done anything to help the poor bastard. Hi, This is a pretty firey debate. I have a question along the lines of this thread. I currently have a 1.5Mbit ADSL tail at the school that I work for. This tail connects to the Education Office which hosts a variety of websites, we then get internet access through the education office. We currently also have 230 PCs, and the connection is slowing down significantly. What I planned on doing was purchasing a 20Mbit ADSL 2+ connection and setting up a FreeBSD router which forwards all internet traffic through the ADSL2+ connection, and the Education Office traffic would be forwarded through the existing connection. Is this feasible? I would assume that it would be a simple matter of letting the router know what ranges need to be forwarded to the existing connection, and defaulting the rest to the new connection. Note there is NO load balancing in this scenario, so don't flame my head off. Sorry if this is not making sense, I've had a long day.

Re: Connecting to internet.
Thanks for the reply Ruben (and others). I did see these sections when having a cursory look at the docs but was hoping for something simpler. On some older versions of Linux that I have installed there was a program called adsl-setup that I used to get connected. Sounds like you're on a DSL line. The proper way to connect depends on what what your ISP is set up for. Mine uses a straight ethernet-to-ATM bridge, so I just ifconfig and I'm off. I hear a lot of ISPs use PPP over ethernet, and other stuff as well. Best would be to find out what your ISP uses. If it's PPP over ethernet, search the web site (and/or archives) for that phrase, or for PPPoE. I thought FreeBSD would have something similar and I was just not finding it. Not quite so automated here. There is dhclient, the DHCP client, which allows your machine to get a dynamic IP from your ISP. I've never used it but I know it exists. Works very simple: In sysinstall, when you configure your network card, you simply answer 'yes' to the question whether you want to use DHCP. In my case, that sets the gateway to the internet correctly, and everything works out of the box, at home and in my office. I don't know about something such as adsl-setup though. Best bet is to choose a provider whose ADSL-modem functions as a DHCP server, i think.

Re: FreeBSD router two DSL connections
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Which is not redundant. Considering the OP asked for specifics on how to do this and your response as been a bunch of theoretical gobbdleygook that is flat out wrong network theory, you haven't done anything to help the poor bastard. Hi, This is a pretty firey debate. I have a question along the lines of this thread. I currently have a 1.5Mbit ADSL tail at the school that I work for. This tail connects to the Education Office which hosts a variety of websites, we then get internet access through the education office. We currently also have 230 PCs, and the connection is slowing down significantly. What I planned on doing was purchasing a 20Mbit ADSL 2+ connection and setting up a FreeBSD router which forwards all internet traffic through the ADSL2+ connection, and the Education Office traffic would be forwarded through the existing connection. Is this feasible? I would assume that it would be a simple matter of letting the router know what ranges need to be forwarded to the existing connection, and defaulting the rest to the new connection. Note there is NO load balancing in this scenario, so don't flame my head off. Sorry if this is not making sense, I've had a long day. Cheers, Matt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" First off, you might have posted this under a new subject/thread to avoid getting into the debate and to potentially get replies from those not interested in agruing this one anymore. That said - there's all the flame you'll get from me. You should be able to connect both of your 'tails' (interesting term btw - never heard a pipe/connection called a 'tail') - and yes, specify which are to go out the pipe to your education office, set the default route to the other connection and you should be off to the races, ie: Con1 (education office) xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Con2 (Large ADSL pipe) yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy route add 0.0.0.0 yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy route add some.ip.net.work/24 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx route add some.other.ip.range/26 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx etc... Of course, depending on your configuration, you may have to use your upstream provided default route instead of the interface IP as indicated in the above example, (PPPoE uses your own IP as the default gateway, which is the case in -most- DSL setups). Anyhow, should be relatively straight-forward, just add the static routes to a script called when the connection is made, (for ppp, use ppp.links). -- Nathan Vidican [EMAIL PROTECTED] Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Well, technically, it could be scripted: - load balancer pings primary upstream gateway - primary upstream gateway does not respond - run script that reconfigures routing tables, NAT etc accordingly Which I wouldn't trust in a critical uptime environment. Plus, this would NOT have the effect of increasing throughput. > > > The primary problem is that you > >need to make sure outgoing data for a connection is using > the same line > >as the incoming connection. > > No, not at all.

Unless you mask or 'spoof' your IP in the packet header as it's going out, the traffic will always come back via the same pipe. Unless of course your upstream allows this, which I doubt very much. > >If the majority to all connections are > >outgoing and both lines use NAT and have unique IP addresses, it's > >simpler to setup. > >If you have incoming connections as well, either only one of the two > >lines will be used or you'll need BGP > > Explain how to run BGP with a DSL line to Spirit One and a > cable line to Comcast. BGP with two separate Internet providers such as those you speak of is nearly impossible. Realistically, to run BGP, you have to have utmost co-ordination between yourself, and BOTH providers. As soon as either one disagrees (which they will), this will not work. BGP is typically used in Point-to-Point connections. Generally, it's used by ISP's to THEIR upstream providers. For instance, at the ISP at which I work, part of the feed consists of three T-1's. Two of the T-1's are bound together as a single channel (effectively doubling the throughput), and the third is for load-balancing and redundancy. BGP is used for this, but if I want to make a change, I have to get on the phone with my upstream provider, and do the BGP changes together at both ends. Trying to do BGP with a single $40 to $80 DSL customer would not only be financially wasteful because of wasted time and resources, most networks are not set up to do this easily. As a matter of fact, just thinking about it makes my head hurt. If you really want this type of redundancy, and reliable throughput, especially for a business, go the proper way and get your connection(s) from an ISP's upstream provider. (Allstream, MCI, Sprint etc). > >or some kind of > >static route setup by the two ISPs. We are a small ISP (<10,000 clients), and I wouldn't even do this. This is easily something that could be forgotten it was done, slip through the cracks, and cause all sorts of havoc down the road once the client has up and left. Especially if the second provider mucks up their end. Again, personally, the way I look at it is if you want to pay $40-$80 for your Internet connection, you technically get what you pay for. If you REALLY wanted this done, you would have to personally know someone inside the ISP who actually has direct and full access to the infrastructure. I assure you, calling Comcast support desk and asking them to 'please apply this routing structure for me' will get you no where.

GPGME fails to build under fresh 6.0 install
I'm doing a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.0 on my desktop system. While installing KDE from ports, the gpgme build crashed with the error quoted below. Google turns up little other than "try WITH_PTH and WITHOUT_PTH", neither of which makes any difference (I used make -DWITH_PTH build and make -DWITHOUT_PTH build).

slice-table / partition-table
I have 2 hard drives on my system. One (my main drive) has an
MS-DOS slice (naturally the first slice) and 3 FreeBSD slices.
The other drive had 1 OS2 slice (just because an OS2 CDROM was used
to slice it up) and 1 MS-DOS slice. At one time, I was thinking of
putting the boot program on the second hard drive, and may have done
it with the CDROM of FreeBSD 4.7 . Recently, while I was running
MS-DOS and processing e-mail (trying to remove an attachment from
a letter in order to save it in the MS-DOS slice on the second hard
drive) through juno.com , I discovered that the MS-DOS slice on this
second hard drive was hosed (naturally, that discovery could only be
made while running MS-DOS ), and verified that fact by trying to go to a
directory on that second drive. MS-DOS didn't go there but complained, and
following that I couldn't see anything on that second drive.
To investigate this, I rebooted into my FreeBSD 4.3 slice and
found that the slice-table (often called "partition-table") on the second
drive was identical to that of the first drive. In fact, when I tried fdisk
on each drive, I found the results identical except for the size (# of
cylinders) of the drives. Originally, the second drive's fdisk results
stated 3 heads and some sectors per cylinder (but I don't recall how many). I
conclude that there is a strong possibility that only the slice-table sector
has been copied (from the first drive), though I have no idea how this could
have happened (though I consider the possible putting of the boot program on
the second hard drive as possibly contributory). Does anyone have any idea of
how this can happen? Has anyone seen this or the like before?
I also conclude that there is a strong possibility that the rest of the
second disk (i.e., my data on it) is okay, and if I can rebuild the
slice-table then I can recover the rest of the disk and all my data. I think
I can do this if I can get the following things/information:
1) is there a duplicate of the slice-table
somewhere on the disk, and if so, where is it,
and how can I examine it rather than the
primary slice-table ,
and is there a way to have its contents replace
the contents of the primary slice-table ,
2) is there a program that can look at a(n entire)
disk and break it up into contiguous sectors
that belong to particular systems (in my case
OS2 or MS-DOS ), {I would be willing to write such a
program if someone would tell me how to read sectors
without a slice-table [say with just an LBA
number] and how to recognize whether a sector
belongs to OS2 or MS-DOS , and any timing
constraints for reading/writing cylinders [e.g., usual
timing for getting a read/write head to cylinder 0
, the time
to move between cylinders, etc.], if such
constraints exist [maybe we have fixed heads
and so no timing constraints]},
3) FreeBSD programs (or Linux programs or
MS-DOS programs if FreeBSD programs aren't
available) that can read any sector given its
LBA number or the like [somewhat like fdisk
reads/writes of sector 0 ], what could be really
useful [if I have to rebuild files] is a program that
reads a range of sectors and greps its contents,
reporting the LBA
number [and some contents] of those sectors
that pass the grep test,
4) the structure of the slice-table's sector and
of the slice-table and FreeBSD programs
that can write specific values (given as
arguments [say in structures]) into the
slice-table without affecting the contents of any
other sector on that disk,
5) how to mark a slice "",
6) FreeBSD programs (or Linux programs or
MS-DOS programs if FreeBSD programs aren't
available) other than fdisk that can write
the slice-table's sector (including its magic number
and boot code) without affecting the conte

What I planned on doing was purchasing a 20Mbit ADSL 2+ >connection and setting up a FreeBSD router which forwards all internet >traffic through the ADSL2+ connection, and the Education Office traffic >would be forwarded through the existing connection. Is this feasible? The easiest way would be to purchase a DSL modem/router for use with the ADSL2 connection (or a ADSL2 modem coupled to a etherent-to-ethernet DSL router) Set this up as a network address translator, plug it into your school network. (you can use FreeBSD for this if you want) You will need to do a bit of exploring to find out the subnets that the ED office is using. For example, suppose ED office has assigned IP subnet 10.0.10.0/24 to your school. Their existing DSL tail has an IP number of 10.0.10.1 on it. You have your PC's seup to use IP addresses 10.0.10.10 - 10.0.10.240 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 10.0.10.1 You do some queries with nslookup to find out all the IP adresses of the Ed servers, and you find they are on subnets 10.0.12.x, 10.0.15.x, 192.168.4.x, etc. So, first thing you do is you setup your BSD system/DSL router/DSl modem as a translator, and set it's internal interface IP address to 10.0.10.2 Then you add in a bunch of static routes into it for the ED subnets you discovered, pointing those subnets to 10.0.10.1 Last you set your PC's to use 10.0.10.2 as their default gateway. When the PC's send traffic to the Internet the router sends that out the ADSL2 line When the PC's send traffic to ED, the router issues an ICMP redirect that installs an ICMP route in the PC's that points to 10.0.10.1 for that host.

openldap setup question
I know this is OT, but I'm trying to set up an LDAP server (openldap-2.2.29 client and server from ports) for user address books. I'm not interested in setting up LDAP authentication for the whole system. I'd prefer the ldap server use the regular login passwords, like the imap server does - the interface to change these is just easier to deal with for me. At this point, I have the server set up, and I've installed the java based ldapbrowser package (from ports, of course) and it seems to be able to add users. Unfortunately, the users added don't seem to be able to add or modify their own address books, and I have to have their password to add them - which I don't like. I don't want a network wide address book, like a company would use, I want my 3 users to be able to import their address books and have them available to themselves only - no anonymous connection, no access to any users book by other users. Ideally, I'd like to see bookmarks saved this way too, but I don't think most browsers can read them over LDAP. Oh well. So, can anyone tell me if this is a realistic application of the LDAP tools? If so, any pointers to the docs that actually describe these two features/uses? There are dozens of howtos and quick start guides out there, but I have yet to find one that addresses PAM authentication and user writeable address books. I know LDAP is a good tool for authentication, but I like having a single access route - namely the system login. This makes it much easier to be sure all users can change *all* their passwords in one go. Having separate login dbs for samba, sasl, shell, and ldap would make that quite a pain.

I ran pbweb.x86 to update the the server Punkbuster (PB) files and added sv_punkbuster "1" to all config files. But the server does not start PB. I then used rcon to access the server from a Windows Quake client and enabled PB with pb_sv_enable and wrote the permanent change with pb_sv_writecfg. I then rebooted the Q3 server and still no PB.

If I may: I naively assumed that a malloc'ed RAMDISK would just remove X number of bytes of physical RAM from FreeBSD's VM system, and dedicate that RAM to a memory disk. Since this RAM would now be outside the VM system, contents of such RAM could never be swapped out, thus my memory disk would always be fast, but would reduce the physical RAM available to the VM system. I assumed a swap-backed disk would do similar, but would be subject to swapping if the memory disk data hadn't been accessed recently, and demand for new VM pages became sufficient to force the memory disk out of physical RAM into swap. My memory disk would usually be fast, provided that I accessed it frequently. Parts of the disk that were not accessed frequently could be swapped out to free up physical RAM, and re-accessing those parts would then mean a disk access to swap in the pertinent pages. I assumed a file-backed disk would be about the same as a swap-backed md, except that it's paged to and from a file system, instead of a swap partition. How much of that is wrong? :) And would *any* program that tried to malloc 500 megs of RAM be likely to crash the system, or is this a unique skill that mdconfig has mastered?

It allocates kernel address space which is quite scarce on 32-bit platforms. I'm not sure if it allocated physical memory. Given the panicking behavior, I suspect that is deferred. > I assumed a swap-backed disk would do similar, but would be subject to > swapping if the memory disk data hadn't been accessed recently, and > demand for new VM pages became sufficient to force the memory disk > out of physical RAM into swap.

I believe this is mostly accurate. If you're actually out of memory, there's a good chance you're going to be swapping anyway so this might or might not actually cost you anything. If you have frequent, randomly distributed access to the file system it's likely to be expensive. On the other hand, if there are hot spots, the swapping may be beneficial because it will allow other processes to proceed more efficiently. > I assumed a file-backed disk would be about the same as a swap-backed > md, except that it's paged to and from a file system, instead of a > swap partition.

No, just any kernel process. Userland processes have around 2GB (IIRC, 2.5GB by default) of address space each and the kernel gets what's left. Since the kernel has to service everything else, that space goes fast. 64-bit architectures aren't so badly off since they have 2^63 bytes of address space for the kernel. They are still constrained by physical memory so a large malloc late in the game may fail. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.

Boot error
Afternoon All, My FreeBSD 6.0 computer refuses to boot. It gets to the screen where it pauses for 10 seconds and gives you the choice of 8 boot options, and then...nothing! Choosing the default option shows a single line "/boot/kernel/acpi.ko text= etc,..." then the next line shows "|", and that's it. All the other boot options show just the "|" and that's it. I have waited for up to 30 minutes, but no change. The only way out is to reset the computer. Prior to this prblem the computer worked perfectly. FreeBSD 5.4 was installed about 4 months ago, this was upgraded to 6.0 about 2 months ago. Everything had been recompiled and I never had any problems, until this. I suspect that my 2 year old son has been pressing the power button repeatedly which may have caused this. My question to you all is: How can I see what is going on? FreeBSD 5.4 and prior used to show the progress on the booting process on screen, however FreeBSD 6 hides all that and remains at the options screen until the login prompt. Why? That was useful stuff. (But that is a little off topic) The basic question is: How do I go about finding the cause of my problem?

Do you still have the FreeBSD install CD-ROM? You can use that to boot. DON'T INSTALL ANYTHING, though :) Just make sure that the CD-ROM boots fine up to the sysinstall menu. If that works, then there's definitely something wrong with the kernel or the other boot files you have on disk, and we'll see what can be done. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I was working on that port locally to fix the paths. I uninstalled everything and did an install with the fixed port and none of the plugins worked. I uninstalled again and reinstalled with the stock port and still nothing. Startup shows errors on all the linux plugins. I think something else has changed, but I'm not sure what. Even my fixes don't work anymore. Here's the startup errors I'm getting: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so [/usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so: Undefined symbol "XtCalloc"] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so [/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so: Undefined symbol "ah_arctan"] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so [/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so: Undefined symbol "stderr"] Any input would be appreciated.

Re: FreeBSD router two DSL connections
I wonder if these routers are using freebsd http://www.edimax.com/html/english/products/list-router.htm 2 WAN, 4 WAN, etc... and i also wonder what happens if one WAN goes down? or if the WANs are of different speeds?
