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.
My inkling is the documentation is WRONG.

'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?

The latter does /not/ need cups (luckely imho) but works very well with the standard unix lpd. OK, the definition for perfectly does not agree with my statement. Otoh, my laserjet uses 600dpi and that is (for normal use) quite good. If I need higher qualities I use a printshop. As I understood the OP is a home user and in that sence 600dpi is ok. As for the heads: you have a point there. I could live with that and would buy a one-head-cartridge though;-) And, most importantly (to me), NO cups ;-) Yeah, they are uncomfortable things to wear, aren't they? ;-) A long time ago I posted instructions to the list on how to replace cups with lpr, given -any- printer, -any- driver. 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.

some strange strtod behaviour, please help
Hello out here,
sorry bothering you with some standard issues ...
I ran into trouble with a routine from string.h.
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 stdio.h
#include math.h
#include string.h
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?
Thanks in advance a lot,
Oliver

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.

shared library loader configuration

Re: BSD::Resource and getrusage(2)
On Fri, 7 Jul 2006, Philip M. Gollucci wrote:
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
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?

Interrupts question

Unless you modify the /etc/rc.d/ldconfig script manually, /lib and /usr/lib will always be the first to search. I'm still not convinced that telling the system where to load libraries from is the solution to you problem, but I don't know what the problem is. You have to describe first *WHAT* the real problem is and *WHY* you think modifying the library path is a solution. i found the ldconfig rc-script but i thought there might be a cleaner way of telling the system where the shared libraries are to be found. any way to tell the system: take /usr/local/lib first w.o. changing the ldconfig rc-scripts or developing own startup scripts that achieve that? no way of changing some default configuration file that is avail. for that purpose? 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. Don't change that, or be prepared to debug all the potential bugs that may start appearing. to satisfy your couriosity :-) This description is much better. i'd like to compile openssl 0.9.8 and a newer zlib for testing some software that does crypto compression using these libs. and i wanted to keep the servers as clean as possible from changing rc-scripts, etc... to ensure we're able to transfer the outcoming piece of program to other boxes w'out much effort. i know it's inside the ports but the problem is, we'd like to tes some sort of code that's not enabled by default in the ports. 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.

Re: 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. 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. But, I would check on power consistency and if any component is heating up. jerry Here is the output of dmesg.boot: Copyright (c) 1992-2005 The FreeBSD Project.

Dear Chuck,
Thank you for your answer.
1) I have already tried punch_fw keyword with
different settings but nothing happened. I mean that no dynamic rule was
added. I think that punch_fw works when you are on the box and try to
connect to another ftp server (thus, when you are client). I do not think
that punch_fw works when this box is the server. 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!

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.

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.

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. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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.

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.

I would just kill it `rm -rf /nonexistant` If it *does* exist that may not be a problem, as long as the nobody user does not have a valid shell, but /nonexistant is used by many system accounts so just setting the ACLs on it to `chmod -R nobody:nobody /nonexistant` probably won't help much. -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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?
