Re: FreeBSD 6.0 compat with DL320 G4
Thanks Ted, Server got here, FreeBSD 6.1 went on easy as you like and then I installed the intel card when it got here... I havent had to recompile a thing and its detected the card fine. I've appied an IP address, cvsup/install a few ports without any issues.. dmesg goodness: em0: port 0x4000-0x401f mem 0xfdee-0xfdef,0xfdec-0xfded irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2 em0: Ethernet address: 00:15:17:0b:e6:18 em1: port 0x4020-0x403f mem 0xfdea-0xfdeb,0xfde8-0xfde9 irq 17 at device 0.1 on pci2 em1: Ethernet address: 00:15:17:0b:e6:19 Should I grab the latest copy of the driver (off intel's website) and recompile anyway?

RE: sshd/mysql errors.
hello, and how to get an ip of unkown hostname, as you knowm i should add an IP addresses to the firewall not hostnames, # nslookup host73.maxim.net *** can't find host73.hostname_net: Non-existent host/domain I found hundreds of this line to in my logs mysqld[28598]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 25: can't verify hostname: getaddrinfo(IP-216-185-173-58.mtntel.net, AF_INET) failed Any advise? please. First thoughts is you are under attack and hosts.allow is doing it's job of denying access.

Michael Hi Michael, You'll have to clarify "open" regarding the WEB, DNS, and FTP ports on the router. Are they simply port-forwarded to the internal servers (meaning based on service ports) or do you have one-to-one NAT mapping a public IP to an internal for each server? If it's the latter, and each machine has its own public IP, then you can simply set DNS to point to each server respectively: www.mydomain.com -> publicIP1 -> privateIP1 ftp.mydomain.com -> publicIP2 -> privateIP2 The real question is whether you have a block of public IPs or just one. But to be honest, you can probably get away with just having a single public IP and using port forwarding as most browsers (including Firfox and IE) recognize the "ftp" and "www" subdomains and automatically adjust to that protocol. i.e. ftp.somedomain.com will automatically be translated to ftp://ftp.somedomain.com (ftp.freebsd.org ). -David -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# fortune Happiness is just an illusion, filled with sadness and confusion. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It looks like it is a problem of setting up your router and NAT service on the router, rather than a DNS issue. >From the wolrd, mydomain.com, ftp.mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com are seen as a signle IP/host (the public/WAN interface of your router).

SATA300 Controllers
Hello all, Sorry for cross-posting, but these issues seem relevant for lists... Has anyone had success with SATA300 controllers with FreeBSD 6.1? I've been trying Promise and nVidia nForce4 and I'm not having any luck. Using a MSI K8NGM2-L motherboard and others, but 6.1's installation hangs as soon as it sees ad4. I've also tried using an Adaptec 1210SA controller and had zero results. I've read that the chipset on this controller is not very good - forces serialized access to the controller's channels??? Nevertheless, I've got a K8N Diamond motherboard on a workstation and I was able to at least "start" the 6.1 installation. I have no idea if its stable. At this point, I'd settle for just knowing "which" SATA300 controller to use that will work successfully and "well" with FreeBSD 6.0 OR 6.1. Another question, would I have more success installing 6.0 and then upgrading the kernel and recompiling with a build-world? I'm currently trying to build a moderate large system with 4 presentation servers, 2 database servers and one large storage system using NFS mapped to ~1.2 terrabyte of SATA disks (4x Maxtor 500GB 7200 RPM disks w/RAID5 config).

vinum stability?
I have a quad-core Opteron nForce4 box running 6.1-RELEASE/amd64 with a gvinum RAID 5 setup comprising six identical SATA drives on three controllers (the onboard nForce4 SATA, which is apparently two devices, and one Promise FastTrak TX2300 PCI SATA RAID controller in IDE mode), combined into one volume named "drugs". We've been testing this box as a file server, and it usually works fine, but smartd reported a few bad sectors on one of the drives, then a few days later it crashed while I was running chmod -R on a directory on "drugs" and had to be manually rebooted. I can't figure out exactly what happened, especially given that RAID 5 is supposed to be robust against single drive failures and that despite the bad blocks smartctl claims the drive is healthy. I have three questions: 1: what's up with gvinum RAID 5? Does it crash randomly? Is it considered stable? Will it lose data? 2: am I using a SATA controller that has serious problems or something like that? In other words, is this actually gvinum's fault? 3: would I be better off using a different RAID 5 system on another OS?

CVS Export truncate files ?
Hi, we use cvs for in house developpement of a php web site... We use "cvs update to sync files", "cvs checkout" when a new employee need to work on the files, and "cvs export" when we push the changes to the production web site... For some reason, we found that "cvs export" truncated a couple of files which caused parsing errors... I don't see any error message While it's doing it, I see the following extract: cvs export: Updating pub/class U pub/class/class.session.cmd cvs export: Updating pub/class/html2pdf cvs export: Updating pub/class/html2pdf/cache cvs export: Updating pub/class/html2pdf/classes Is it normal that the class.session only has a "U" in front of the line instead of "cvs export: Updating" Am I doing something wrong or is it some sort of bug/limitation with the cvs export function ?

Re: gvinum question: why are subdisks not attached?
Howdy, On Jun 26, 2006, at 9:39 AM, Travis H. wrote: Hiya, I finally resolved the source of my gvinum problems. Every time I reboot, the plexes and volumes come up attached to one another, but both are size zero and the subdisks exist but are not attached. Has anyone a guess about the source of this problem? One possibility is your partition type. I'm not certain. (see below on my bsdlabel output sample) I was working on a Raid5 configuration and finally did get it working. I have a few suggestions. One is to try to find to find old vinum documentation. What finally brought clarity to me is looking at the vinum man pages from FreeBSD 4.7. It has a lot more information vinum(8), including a nice section on the config file format and examples. Of course I could have just missed it (nope just checked again). The second is to try marking your partitions as type vinum. The third is to drop the slices since the configuration that worked for my Raid 5 set used just partitions no slices (see below). The fourth is to move up to 6.1. I did this during my struggles but I don't think that was my issue. However 6.1 does have improved man pages :-), but not as good as the 4.7 pages. You have to read both because gvinum doesn't implement the full vinum command set. I *think* the config file is the same though. # /dev/ad4: # same as /dev/ad8 and /dev/ad10 for a Raid 5 3-disk system. 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 390721952 16unused0 0 c: 3907219680unused0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 209715200 vinum Finally, enough people have been able to get/claim vinum success to make me believe it's OK. There are two key issues in my mind. I'll add that now that I found TFM I can RTFM. ;-) #1 it is a little fragile (ie not idiot proof enough yet for this hack) #2 the documentation needs some work ... but that's kind of up to us now isn't it... I think I owe Freebsd-docs a long post but I have another 20 hours of understanding and playing to do at least. This is a great capability for small systems. Frankly I'm a bit puzzled by geom and why the change was made from whatever it replaced. Overall 6.x looks like a step backwards from a filesystem management perspective... maybe someone could comment on geom... perhaps a future enabler?

From: /usr/ports/UPDATING - THIS MIGHT BE PERTINENT - 20060703: AFFECTS: users of sysutils/portupgrade AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Because of portupgrade had a bug with detecting of Berkley DB version 2+, and a default database now set to use this version you can get portupgrade don't work with old databases. A quick fix is removing the databases: `rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db /usr/ports/INDEX*.db'. portupgrade will recreate them automaticaly. It's absolutely no harm. If you don't want remove the databases you should detect what database type do you use, and set port options accordly. Follow the instructions: - run `pkgdb -fu' *before* upgrading and take a look on the output. You can see database format there as: format:XXX, where XXX is your current database format. - Go to portupgrade port directory and configure the port with `make config' command. If you have bdb_* format then turn on BDB4 option, if you have bdb1_* format then turn off BDB4 and turn on BDB1 option. If you have dbd_hash format then turn off all option. - Upgrade portupgrade. Note: if you change database format with changing port options, you should remove ruby-bdb* port that you don't need anymore or to hard code database format in your pkgtools.conf. -- Gerard Seibert [EMAIL PROTECTED] COMPASS [for the CDC-6000 series] is the sort of assembler one expects from a corporation whose president codes in octal.

There is pfSense which is a FreeBSD based live-CD for router-like installations. pfSense has ntop package. it won't hurt trying it out. > , thanks all for > your help. > >Ethereal is for read packets but can he check wich one device is > causing problems..? device causing problems? Do you mean computer using a lot of bandwidth?

This printer works perfectly with apsfilter. The latter does /not/ need cups (luckely imho) but works very well with the standard unix lpd. Install apsfilter with "portinstall -rR apsfilter" and you'll be happy. You can also go for cups, but make sure you read some installation papers on the net very carefully.

You can. But apache22 comes with a 'special' ssl conf file in the /usr/local/etc/apache22/extra directory callen httpd-ssl.conf The port mentioned in there is 443. Don't forget to remove the # before the rule for this file in httpd.conf itself, otherwise it won't be read ;-) -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 6.1 +++ The Power to Serve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Portupgrade
HI This problem is that the /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db has been damaged. What you need to do is to build a new pkgdb.db file First cd /var/db/pkg save the old pkgdb by mv pkgdb.db -> pkgdb.old then you run pkgdb -u after that you should be up and running again.

When was the last time you did a cvsup? Portupgrade was hosed for a few days there, if your ports tree previously installed the hosted version, portupgrade won't work. If this is the case, the solution is: 1) cvsup ports 2) pkg_delete portupgrade 3) cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade && make install clean Portupgrade will then start working again. i always do a cvsup before upgrading the ports but i got the same problem, pkg_delete did not work coz it can't see the portupgrade version that is installed so i did a make deinstall and make reinstall instead but with the same result, any idea how will i solve this?
