Linksys router and ssh time outs ...
I just put a linksys router in place, so that we could use our wireless laptop, well, wireless ... now, I seem to be getting timeouts on my ssh connections when they are idle, but timeouts that I never received when I had my desktop directly connected to the cable modem ... I've looked at the settings for the Linksys, and can't find anything that might be related ... is there some keepalive that the linksys might be blocking, or something else that I can do to keep the connection from dropping?

Re: vinum stability?
One thing you might consider is that gvinum is quite flexible. The subdisks in vinum that make up a raid 5 plex are partitions. This means you can create raid 5 sets without using each entire disk and the disks don't need to be the same model or size. It's also handy for spares. If you start having media errors a new partition on the offending disk might be one option but any other disk that support a partition size equal to the ones used as subdisks in the raid 5 plex will also do. Having said that I'm finding it tricky to understand and use gvinum. It seems to be on the mend though, the documentation is improving and the raid 5 set I had running seemed pretty stable for a 40 minute iozone benchmark. That's all I've done with it to date. IJ On Jul 6, 2006, at 8:56 AM, Jeremy Ehrhardt wrote: 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?

Re: Unable to boost maxusers in custom kernel.
Worth Bishop wrote: Thanks Kevin - First, I guess, be sure that it's using the file you're specifying. I've sure wondered about this. As I've compiled & installed the custom kernels, I've watched the changes in the size & date/time stamp to the /kernel binary file. It's definitely changing, and I think I've done everything I'm supposed to to tell the system what kernel file to use. I've gone so far as to copy the /kernel file into /kernel.GENERIC (keeping a backup kernel.GENERIC) with the same results. What troubles me is that every time I reboot I see: FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Apr 21 10:54:49 GMT 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC in the messages. I don't see :/usr/src/sys/compile/MYKERNEL, even though I've changed the ident line and every other reference to GENERIC I can find in the configuration file to MYKERNEL. This is the output of "uname -a", I'm quite sure, and therefore is a reference to the userland, and the kernel that was in place when it was built. If the kernel has a different date/time, etc., then you've built it just fine...question is, what's up with the MAXUSERS thing. What else can I do to ensure that the system is using the kernel I intend it to use? That's about it. I've not tried setting maxusers to "0" but will. And as for patches...well, I kind of inherited this system and am guessing patches have been sporadically applied if at all. My own expertise is all OJT and what I've gleaned from manuals, online help, folks like you, etc. My inclination is to upgrade ASAP to newest release, but as this is a production system with no hot spare and those who control it are fanatically opposed to any downtime...it may need to reach crisis point before that can be done. Thanks again for any suggestions! Worth Bishop I'm not sure I've any further suggestions. I've pretty much decided to keep close to updated; however, and somewhat unfortunately perhaps, I've no boxes so "busy" and "mission-critical" that they can't be rebooted now and again.

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".

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the "newcomers"), and also those who answer the questions (the "hackers"). Note that the term "hacker" has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is "cracker", but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you.

You should not send "how to" questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

What I have observed is the prevelance of the use of cups in the online guides for hooking up printers is because most people writing most of those guides out there really don't understand how all the programs interrelate with each other, and are merely copying other people's guides in how to set the things up. Just about all the online printer setup guides that use cups in the examples are tracable back to the instructions for setting up a printer in gnome, on a Linux box where the distribution had gnome preinstalled, since cups is also preinstalled. All cups does is muck with config files, it does not actually do any conversion. The engines that do the heavy lifting are ghostscript, which either converts postscript input direct to printerspeak, for the limited number of drivers compiled into it, or converts it to an intermediate format that is massaged by gimpprint, or the manufacturers driver (ie: hp's driver for example) into the printerspeak needed by the particular printer model. You do not need cups, or apsfilter for that matter, to plug the engines into each other. The other thing that is often missed is that for printers like the Epson stylus c84 that I have, or the officejet that the OP has, to get from postscript into the gross muck that these winprinters can understand, takes a huge amount of CPU cycles for anything complex.

Passive mode from the box itself is ok...works without any problem. 2) I am not sure how to change the divert command because take notice that divert should be applied to both incoming and both outgoing packets. I think that messing with divert may cause some strange problems... I followed your suggestion and It seems that the following works (not tested thoroughly though) $fwcmd add 14999 skipto 15001 all from $oip to any via $oif $fwcmd add 15000 divert natd all from any to any via $oif (do you have any feeling for possible faults on the skipto line?) I will test but I think it should be noted that this is a but in natd code (I mean the 'unregistered_only'). Thanks for the support!

Well, it sounds like something in the area of a power or heat problem. But, it is hard to tell. dmesg.boot will not tell you much about what caused the system to go down. It only contains information about it coming back up. You might try and look in to /var/log/messages et al.

No. For a very good reason too. If you change the default loader path to use /usr/local/lib first then *ALL* the programs are affected. Even those that are part of the base system. This is, in general, a very bad idea as the base-system programs may depend on particular versions of the libraries to work correctly and those libraries are in /lib:/usr/lib. > some additional thoughts (a little bit of phil.): > > i wonder, that anybody scripts such hardcoded stuff into a script > because the environment /etc/ld*conf* exists, and at least for a clear > and proper way for the admin to define what to load from where it > should be possible, to override a default configuration via the > config-files, and not with modifications to rc-scripts which are gone > by default after each upgrade. There's a reason why /lib:/usr/lib take precedence over /usr/local.

You can always install your own version of openssl and zlib and use an explicit -R option to tell the linker where to find libraries. There are two steps involved in linking and distributing an executable: * Build-time linking, where the compiler/linker has to be explicitly pointed at teh right place with -L/foo/lib paths. * Runtime linking, where the runtime linker-loader has to lookup and locate the library. You can affect the first one with explicit -L/foo/lib options. You can also hardcode one or more paths to the binary -- solving the second problem too -- if you use -R/distrib/lib options while building. Your problems are only a matter of using the proper build options.

This value is expressed in units of kilobytes * ticks-of-execution. Ticks are statistics clock ticks. The statistics clock has a frequency of sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK) which to me implies thats in kilobytes, but to the contrary, we have the following Doesn't that imply that it's in kb per stat clock ticks? ApacheSizeLimit on bsd systems uses BSD::Resource to get the memory and shared-pages size. sub bsd_size_check { return (&BSD::Resource::getrusage())[2,3]; } I also have a local test based on the recent Apache::SizeLimit work from Dave Rolsky where maxrss > ixrss (Apache-Test output snipped) # '14124' maxrss # > # '52080' ixrss I tried looking in src/sys/kern/kern_resource.c but I didn't find anything that told me the units. My inkling is the documentation is WRONG. If it's reported share memory as greater than total memory, then I think the docs for BSD::Resource are correct. We need to divide that second number (ixrss) by the value of the stat clock tick. Any idea how that can be determined? -dave /*=== VegGuide.Orgwww.BookIRead.com Your guide to all that's veg.

My comments above apply to GEOM mirroring (gmirror) and not to vinum. I would recommend gmirror over vinum for RAID 1, though, as it's much simpler to get going and at least as robust.

The 100% safe way would be to configure the blank disk as the sole member of a (degraded) mirror set, use dump / restore to transfer the data from the existing filesystem to the "mirror", then wipe the old filesystem and add the original disk to the mirror. The faster but only 90% safe way would be to "gmirror label" the partition containing the existing filesystem and then adding the second disk as a member. This is not safe if the last sector of the existing provider (where gmirror stores its metadata) is (or could be in the future) used by the filesystem.

shared library loader configuration
hi, can someone give me please a SIMPLE and CLEAR answer, what i exactly have to do to achieve the following: i have (for example) installed a new compiled version of libz.a/.so in /usr/local. i want program (during runtime AND during compilation) to compile and run against the NEW and non-system libs. what has to be set/changed, to have this setting as soon as the OS starts? i tried running ldconfig, i was playing around with some ld-so.conf files, everything failed. the compilation does not even find the new libraries, and if i use "ldd" to check what path the lib would use it's always /lib or /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib. please don't tell me things about RTFM or weblinks, i just need ~3 simple lines of what the hell to do that i get a persisting setting for compilations and runtimes, which i don't have to e.g. export everytime i want it to work (talking 'bout LD_LIBRARY_PATH or CFLAGS/LDFLAGS). this cannot be a good solution, as soon as i start with a clean environment, there has to be a way to tell the os, MAN load it from there first! many thx in advance for not flaming me & telling me how's it meant to be ;-) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Spontaneous reboots with Dell PowerEdge
Hi, I am hoping that someone has come across this weird happening with Dell PowerEdge 1800. We have one such server, with dual power supply, running FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE. Spontaneously, the server does a hard boot and comes back up. /var/log/messages only states the previous system shutdown was unexpected. This happens at random times and is completely unpredictable. We have replaced all the RAM modules with a completely different set, just to eliminate anything to do with faulty modules, but this has not cured the problem. The server has 7 disks on a RAID 5 set. A hard reboot definately calls for a fsck, which makes the reboot process take forever. I have fsck_y_enable in rc.conf, because otherwise someone will have to manually run fsck after these spontaneous reboots! I am considering a serial console option to see if I can capture something, but apart from that I am at my wit's end reagrding this issue.

some strange strtod behaviour, please help
Hello out here, sorry bothering you with some standard issues ... I ran into trouble with a routine from . Trying to convert strings tokenized via strsep() to doubles lead me into unsolvable problems. This is an example piece of code taken from an exercise page (my own code looks similar, but this simple code reveals also the oddity of strtod or my oddity in thoughts): #include #include #include void main(void) { char *s,**p; float dx; int i; s = (char *) malloc(256 * sizeof(char)); strncpy(s,"1.234y",strlen("1.234y")); p = NULL; dx = strtod(s,p); i = 0, printf("String is: %s, Double is %#.G.\n",s,dx); printf("s[%i] is %c.\n",i,s[i]); } On my box (FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE, Intel i386, P4 3.0GHz, HTT enabled) at lab, compiling this with gcc (standard settings as taken from make.conf) results in weird behaviour, this also occurs on my home's box (also FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE, but AMD64). I also tried to give **p memory via malloc to see to what it points after strtod() has been called, but not success. The odd thing is, that I always given bad results like this: ./test String is: 1.234y, Double is -9.E+08. s[0] is 1. The row "printf("s[%i] is %c.\n",i,s[i]);" is only for some testing purposes to see what the initial portion of the string that is about to be converted may be. Ok, maybe I misunderstodd things. As I read the manpage, a string pointed to by *s containing digits, exponential sign and + or - is converted into a double returned by strtod(). If **p isn't the NULL pointer, it points to the first character couln't be a part of a number. In other words, I do not need to know what it is if s points to a legal number like in the example above. What is going wrong?

What I have observed is the prevelance of the use of cups in the online guides for hooking up printers is because most people writing most of those guides out there really don't understand how all the programs interrelate with each other, and are merely copying other people's guides in how to set the things up. Just about all the online printer setup guides that use cups in the examples are tracable back to the instructions for setting up a printer in gnome, on a Linux box where the distribution had gnome preinstalled, since cups is also preinstalled. All cups does is muck with config files, it does not actually do any conversion. The engines that do the heavy lifting are ghostscript, which either converts postscript input direct to printerspeak, for the limited number of drivers compiled into it, or converts it to an intermediate format that is massaged by gimpprint, or the manufacturers driver (ie: hp's driver for example) into the printerspeak needed by the particular printer model. You do not need cups, or apsfilter for that matter, to plug the engines into each other. The other thing that is often missed is that for printers like the Epson stylus c84 that I have, or the officejet that the OP has, to get from postscript into the gross muck that these winprinters can understand, takes a huge amount of CPU cycles for anything complex. Pentium systems under 1Ghz need not apply.

Re: Unable to boost maxusers in custom kernel.
Worth Bishop wrote: Running FreeBSD 4.3 (I know - upgrade on the way, but would like to know what's going on here for future ref), on AMD Athlon MP 1600 (1393.79-MHz 686-class CPU) with 1.5 Gb RAM. Ran up against 'too many files' problem, dropped packets, maxing out mbuf's, proc files, etc. Attempted to compile custom kernel based on GENERIC only by changing maxusers from 32 to (first) 512, then 256, then 128. No matter what, system rebooted with 32 maxusers, 4096 mbugs, 1024 max mbuf clusters, 1024 maxfiles. Can reset maxfiles via sysctl, but why won't maxusers stick? Have tried building both with: # /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL # cd ../../comple/MYKERNEL # make depend # make # make install # reboot and with # cd /usr/src # make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL # make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL # reboot No discernable error messages. What am I missing? First, I guess, be sure that it's using the file you're specifying. Next, hmm, per the Handbook, have you tried "0" (to let the system "auto-tune" itself?) That said, after 4.5*, you can set this variable in /boot/loader.conf ... I've no idea ATM whether or not this behavior was "MFC'ed" back into your code stream or not ... (surely you're not running 4.3 UNPATCHED) you may wish to check /boot/defaults/loader.conf for evidence of this theory, and, if you find it, give that a try as well. HTH, Kevin Kinsey *This information isn't in the handbook (I don't think ...

'unregistered_only' in natd does not work?
Summary: NATD translates source addresses even though it should not because unregistered_only is set and the IPs do not belong to RFC 1918 (like 192.168) Hi List, I have a very strange problem in my FreeBSD bigb3 6.1-STABLE FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #0: Tue Jun 6 I am using the ftpd with inetd. I have specified via sysctl IP_PORTRANGE_DEFAULT and IP_PORTRANGE_HIGH net.inet.ip.portrange.first: 49152 net.inet.ip.portrange.last: 65535 net.inet.ip.portrange.hifirst: 49152 net.inet.ip.portrange.hilast: 65535 and I have opened my ipfw firewall for these ranges. In natd.conf I am using: same_ports yes unregistered_only yes use_sockets yes log_denied yes interface vr0 and I am using ipfw with $fwcmd add 15000 divert natd all from any to any via $oif * T H E P R O B L E M ** I have trouble making a passive ftp connection to work, because every time natd changed source port even though it should not. Sometimes it changes within the IP_PORTRANGE_DEFAULT but sometimes it changes it to something completely irrelevant like 3 The verbose log of natd shows this: Out {default} [TCP] 193.92.?:55211 -> 193.92.:3866 aliased to [TCP] 193.92.??:37962 -> 193.92.?:3866 Thus it shows that the outside IP and port (55211) in the source field was changed to another source port (37962), even though this is not required. My IPFW denies ports lowers than 49152 and thus it drops this and logs that this packets was denied. Can you help me please of how to either 1) instruct natd NOT to translate ports if it is not required (unregistered_only seems that it does not work) or, 2) instruct natd to translate ports which belong to either IP_PORTRANGE_DEFAULT or another defined portrange? Thank you very very much in advance, Best Regards, BB p.s. After searching the freebsd bugs database I found Problem Report bin/77089 : /sbin/natd: natd ignores -u with passive FTP http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/77089, which seems similar. Any clues except re-arranging the firewall rules, as the author of the previous post suggests? --- Dixi et animan levavi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
BSD::Resource and getrusage(2)
Hi, I'm trying do determine the units for one of the fields returned by getrusage(2) man page on 6.0-RELEASE-p5 says this: 2 maxrss maximum shared memory or current resident set 3 ixrss integral shared memory ru_ixrss an ``integral'' value indicating the amount of memory used by the text segment that was also shared among other pro- cesses. This value is expressed in units of kilobytes * ticks-of-execution. Ticks are statistics clock ticks. The statistics clock has a frequency of sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK) which to me implies thats in kilobytes, but to the contrary, we have the following CPAN rt: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=18230 I'll paste the import part of this here so you don't have to follow the link >ApacheSizeLimit on bsd systems uses BSD::Resource to get the memory and >shared-pages size. > sub bsd_size_check { > return (&BSD::Resource::getrusage())[2,3]; > } I also have a local test based on the recent Apache::SizeLimit work from Dave Rolsky where maxrss > ixrss (Apache-Test output snipped) # '14124' maxrss # > # '52080' ixrss I tried looking in src/sys/kern/kern_resource.c but I didn't find anything that told me the units.

Hi, For duplicating jail, use the utility called "cpdup". Tar does not work for this. Why not?
