SSH tunneling to FreeBSD 6.x using entunnel ...
I have a client that has been using entunnel for the longest time to do an SSH tunnel into their vServer ... we've recently begun upgrading to FreeBSD 6.x, and entunnel is no longer working (upgraded from FreeBSD 4.x) ... Apparenty, bitvise.com's tunnelier has the same problem ... The way the client describes how entunnel used to work for them: entunnel was great - i never had to think about it. it just worked, all the time, automatically - came up at startup as a service and just sat in the system tray. Without having to downgrade their OpenSSH to the same version as was on FreeBSD 4.x (bad option!), is there something that I can look at on the FreeBSD 6.x OpenSSH to fix the problem? Maybe some backwards compatibility mode? Thanks ... Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email . [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN .

Re: make buildkernel ERROR ?Why?
Right John, I follow your instructions and it's OK. Thank you very much!! You have the umass device enabled which, as it says, requires scbus and da. Either remark the umass line or unremark the scbus and da lines in the SCSI peripherals section. Also, as you have the INET6 option remarked out, you probably won't need the faith device (in Pseudo devices). -- HTH, John. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Does anyone run VNC with 64-bit FreeBSD (amd64)?
G'day everyone, I recently had to replace a disk and took the opportunity to upgrade from 5-stable to 6-stable. I also changed from the 32-bit to the 64-bit version. I have a dual Opteron server. VNC installed from ports (4.2.1) doesn't work on the 64-bit machine. The same version installed on my home machine (32-bit) with the .vnc directory copied over exactly from my work 64-bit machine runs fine. So in what sense does it fail If I create a blank .vnc/xstartup, then I get the usual grey screen. Then if I try and run X commands on that display, some work, like xsetroot -solid blue, but others, xterm, icewm, twm, etc don't. 130~/.vnc$ icewm -display :9 IceWM: using /home/xx/.icewm for private configuration files X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 9 Current serial number in output stream: 10 131~/.vnc$ xterm -display :9 X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Value in failed request: 0x21 Serial number of failed request: 41 Current serial number in output stream: 49 If they are in the xstartup file they give the exact same errors in the vnc log file.

Change detection order for firewire vs SCSI?
I have an old dual-P3 server with an internal SCSI backplane. I also have an external firewire drive attached to it as cheap, 'disposable' storage. It all works swimmingly apart from one thing: When the system boots, it loads the kernel from the SCSI drive OK, then at some stage it changes it's idea of what da0 is from the first SCSI drive to the firewire one, and then fails to boot since there's no da0s1a on the firewire drive. Unplugging the firewire drive and rebooting works, but means it can't be done unattended, obviously. Is there any way to stop or change this behaviour? I couldn't see anything in the sbp(4) manpage... I'm running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE, in case it's relevant. Thanks for any pointers.

It supports NFSv3 and TCP mounts which (right now) is all you want. We'll see if MS start to support NFSv4, but right now, IIRC, even BSD may not support that fully. The thing about software, is that if it works, it doesn't need updating. NFS does not get 38 new features a fortnight so doesn't need patching all the time. If the software worked in 2004, and the standard didn't change, MS would have no need to update anything. I cannot say that MS NFS works fine, because I am still evaluating it myself. I can say that googling *didn't* turn up millions of problems. So it's probably the case that since this is a relatively straightforward protocol with a well defined standard (RFC), even MS could find competent programmers to implement it. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Using IPFW to redirect all outgoing SMTP traffic to localhost
Hi Guys, I have an IPFW question that I'm a bit stuck on and could do with some help. Basically what I'm trying to do is count and limit the number of e-mails each user on the system is allowed to send. I've got this working fine within the e-mail server and everything's dandy, except for the fact that it's easy to bypass the mail server by making direct SMTP connections to the target hosts. What I need to be able to do is force all connections to any host on port 25 to be redirected to localhost. Ideally I'd just be able to forward all outgoing connections with dst port 25 to localhost. If this is not possible, I would be happy to simply firewall all outbound traffic with dst port 25. There is a caveat: I need port 25 redirection/blocking to occur for all users except those which I name (ie, the mailserver and certain admin users). Of course, the mail server must be able to send e-mail to external hosts, and I'd like certain other users on the system to be able to do this as well. To be honest I'm not really sure where to start writing an IPFW rule to do this - and pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Using IPFW to redirect all outgoing SMTP traffic to localhost

Basically what I'm trying to do is count and limit the number of e-mails each user on the system is allowed to send.

Error in man page of sendmsg?
Hi
working with InterMapper (a network tool) on FreeBSD 5.4 I got a
sendmsg -1 errno 22 Invalid argument
I looked in man sendmsg in the errors but I found no EINVAL in the errors.
So I looked at the kernel sources and I found
--
static int
sendit(td, s, mp, flags)
register struct thread *td;
int s;
register struct msghdr *mp;
int flags;
{
struct mbuf *control;
struct sockaddr *to;
int error;
if (mp-msg_name != NULL) {
error = getsockaddr(to, mp-msg_name, mp-msg_namelen);
if (error) {

goto bad;
}
mp-msg_name = to;
} else {

if (mp-msg_control) {
if (mp-msg_controllen sizeof(struct cmsghdr)
#ifdef COMPAT_OLDSOCK

that error is set to EINVAL so the man page should report EINVAL as possible

Looks like a good catch. Could you use send-pr(1) to get this into

Serial programming on FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE
Hello,
I've got a case where I'm writing a simply serial program to send bytes from
one system to another over a serial cable. The program works in Linux, but
when I use it in FreeBSD nothing happens. The program starts and, in the
case of receiving, waits for data to appear on the /dev/cuad1 port and times
out in select. If I'm sending in FreeBSD, the send program believes it has
written all the data but nothing is received in Linux (either with running
my code on Linux or using kermit). On FreeBSD, however, if I use kermit to
monitor the /dev/cuad1 port and send, using my code, from Linux, all 2500
packets are transmitted ok. Also, when sending from Linux and receiving in
FreeBSD, the FreeBSD machine show silo and tty-level interrupt errors. The
man page for sio describes that as problems in the interrupt handler, for
silo overflows, and that data arrived faster than the application could
process (for the tty-level overflows).
What am I doing wrong? What is it that Kermit does to allow data being read
from the /dev/cuad1 device that I'm not? I've been looking over the kermit
sources but to be honest, before Thursday of last week, I'd never programmed
for serial ports before let alone having any knowledge of termios.
Therefore, I'm looking at a very steep learning curve. Please look over my
ctor for the serial line class that is in my code. After much debugging,
I'm convinced that my problem is in how I'm configuring my port.

problem creating filesystem snapshot
Greetings, I needed to dump the partitions on a running FreeBSD 6.1R system so I could duplicate them on a test server. The server is a Dell 2850 with the PERC 4e/Di RAID controller with 5 x 73GB disk array. So I thought I would try using the snapshot feature. I used the mksnap_ffs to create a snapshot of a 20GB partition. The command completed in about 15 - 20 seconds. I was then able to run dump against the new snap file and all seemed ok. I then tried the same thing on a 225GB partition. The mksnap_ffs command took over 30 minutes to complete. But every access to that partition after that just hung. I wanted to see the size of the snap file so I typed ls -l /home/.snap (where I had told mksnap_ffs to put the snap file) and it hung. Same thing from several logins. I figured I would have to reset the box so I typed sync, and that hung. All the time, access to other partitions was just fine (/, /usr, /var). All partitions (except /) were created with soft update enables (default when installing.) The questions. Is there anything magic about the /xxx/.snap directory in each partition? When I created the snap file for the 20GB partition, I did not put it inside the /xxx/.snap directory, and it worked fine. Is there some partition size restrictions?

Hot-Swapping hard drives on Dell PowerEdge 2850 running FBSD 5.5-PRE
Hello all, I'm getting ready to install 2 identical drives into the available drive bays in my 2850. However, it would be highly preferable that this machine NOT be shut down in order to install these drives. I know from looking at the docs that these drive bays are hot-swappable, but I'd like to know before I attempt this that someone else out there has successfully performed a hot-swap or hot-install of drives on a 2850 or comparable Dell PowerEdge running FreeBSD.

Re: Serial programming on FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE
Derek,
No I didn't disable the getty on the port. To be honest, I didn't know one
was running.
Second, the errors I'm receiving are:
sio1: 2 more silo overflows (total 9)
sio1: 280221 more tty-level buffer overflows (total 576898)
One question I have is, why would kermit able to receive/send data across
the port? I don't know if said this in my first message, but I started
kermit on both the FreeBSD and Linux machines and was able to send/receive
data in either direction. I didn't disable getty before doing that.
Second question is, does my code look ok? Am I initializing everythin
accordingly?

Re: Serial programming on FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE
Your code looked OK, but I would add some debugging print statements.
silo overflow is a stack overflow, so you should figure where this is
happening.
The getty may be managing the port IO, which is why I would disable
it. Getty is listening to the port for traffic.
Depending on the OS, some don't run getty on all physical ports, some do by
default. Some are more exclusive in the perms as well, or should be.

Re: Serial programming on FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE
Let me try this again. Programing the uart directly means directly manipulating the serial port chip. Programing in c or c++ does not usually do this, as you normally would open the device/file and simply read or write to it. In opening the device you need to set it to unbuffered in the flags when you do the open call. -Derek At 02:55 PM 6/22/2006, Andrew Falanga wrote: I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Re: HELP! Filesystem EMPTY after upgrade from 4.11 to 6.1

Re: RAID online capacity expansion
Josh You'll need to use vinum as a volume manager first. Wouldn't recommend it at all on a mounted filesystem, this can give you alsorts of worries. I'd think about why you need to grow the volume, esp as any expansion of a RAID set will normally result in poor performance, unless you backup the data, rebuild the RAID set/filesystem and then restore the data. IE plan for any changes first. -- Martin On 6/21/06, Josh Endries [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Has anyone out there successfully done an online expansion of a RAID array in FreeBSD?

Tracking if disk is busy

snd_via8233 module do not work with Asus A7V8X-X motherboard
Hi, According to the supported hardware list the VIA VT8235 chipset is supported by snd_via8233. But this information seems to be not always right (like in my case). The first problem is that I do not get errors, but also no sound. Thus, I searched on the Internet and I discovered that I was not the first with exactly the same problem: http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-15072.html http://groups.google.be/group/fa.freebsd.hackers/browse_thread/thread/ef6b040e3242e478/14323b0a79fca308?lnk=stq=vt8235+%22no+sound%22+freebsdrnum=5hl=nl#14323b0a79fca308 Unfortunately there are no solutions in these posts. So I went to #freebsd on eu.undernet.org (xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] for people with XMPP uri support ;-) ). After a some chatting, Predius said it was probably because my codec/chipset combination isn't supported by the module. My hardware and software: 1) dmesg: pcm0: VIA VT8235 port 0xe000-0xe0ff irq 5 at device 17.5 on pci0 pcm0: Analog Devices AD1980 AC97 Codec pcm0: VIA DXS Enabled: DXS 4 / SGD 1 / REC 1 2) motherboard: A7V8X-X 3) chipset: VIA VT8235 4) tools to make sound: esound, mplayer, mpg123 5) via8233 module loaded with kldload without error messages: # ls /dev/dsp* /dev/dsp0.0 /dev/dsp0.2 /dev/dsp0.4 /dev/dspW0.0/dev/dspW0.2 /dev/dspW0.4/dev/dspr0.5 /dev/dsp0.1 /dev/dsp0.3 /dev/dsp0.5 /dev/dspW0.1/dev/dspW0.3 /dev/dspW0.5 Is there any way to fix this? (opensound is no solution for me) The second problem is that the supported hardware list do not indicate the supported codecs for each supported chipset. Maybe there can be subpages for every chipset on that page with all codecs that are supported on that chipset. It is a very bad end-user experience to discover after *many* hours that the supported hardware list is not complete. -- Mvg, Sander Devrieze. xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ejabberd, the expandable Jabber daemon. -- http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Problems with both firefox and mozilla from ports
Hello, I installed firefox and mozilla from ports on my FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE machine at home. I installed mozilla which was working, then I did a portupgrade to all my installed ports (took 3 days on my friends high speed line, well higher than mine which is dial-up). Then I decided to installed firefox from ports too (over my modem, took ~3 hours just to download). Well, anyway, the long story much shorter is, now neither work. Every time I launch either I get the following errors: (20:51:37 ~) 0 $ - firefox (Gecko:702): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `GConfClient' (Gecko:702): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed (Gecko:702): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Segmentation fault (core dumped) When I launch mozilla the errors are identical with the exception that the Gecko:XXX number are different, but the text is the same. Thinking that is was, perhaps, not a good thing to have them together on the same system, I did a make deinstall to mozilla and firefox, and then rebuilt firefox and reinstalled it. I'm still getting the same issue. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm stuck using Konquerer and for some reason, it dies every time it tries to do something with ssl. I'm thinking I'm probably going to have to update the OpenSSL libraries I have installed. Whether I attempt to enter an encrypted site, or attempt to configure the crypto stuff in Konquerer, it's the same story, segfault and a core dump. Oh well, I'm not as interested in Konquerer. I really want to get firefox or mozilla working. Please respond to the list and/or my google mail account, af300wsm at gmail.com. That account is subscribed to freebsd-questions as this account can't handle storying the large volume of traffic (and because I'm using Konquerer I couldn't log in to google mail).

MySQL RC script failing

from STABLE to RELENG?
generally, how risky of an operation is it to change the branch im following (assuming i have a server in good working order)? i think i would now prefer to start following RELENG on my production servers instead of STABLE (not that im having any issues), so that i can keep up with patchlevels of specific servers a little easier. im sure this is a common thing, but i want to ask since google didnt bring anything up to me on this topic. thanks, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: FreeBSD smp

Don't you also have to remove the following #ifdef SMP #ifndef COMPILING_LINT #error DEVICE_POLLING is not compatible with SMP #endif #endif from /usr/src/sys/kern/kern_poll.c ? You'll get an error part of the way through building the kernel otherwise, right? Like I said, that's the way I remember it. Just trying to save someone some unnecessary work. Obviously only if you have enabled device polling in your custom kernel and know what you're doing. Defaulting to refuse to build polling on SMP has its reason. While it is generally not a problem, the kernel / userland ratio and statistics code might get messed up if I recall an old posting from Luigi correctly.

Re: from STABLE to RELENG?
Maybe I've been lucky, but I've never had problems upgrading from one version to another, as long as it's a supported jump. Most of those have also been remote upgrades without going to single user mode. I just upgraded a couple 5.4-STABLE boxes to 6.1-RELEASE, and it went without a hitch.I think the last time I messed something up with a remote upgrade was when it involved going from a.out to elf. Can't remember the specifics, but I do remember messing that one up. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
