Low Priority Apps
Hi all, I have a FreeBSD 4.x box running an app that uses 30-50% of the processor. Periodically (through cron) we run a perl app that processes log files and inserts the entries to sql. This perl + mysql combination is causing problems for our app and I'd like to run them at a low priority. What nice value should I give them - should I lower the value of just the perl, or both, or make the high priority app's value higher?

Sendmail and "Proper Authentication"
Hello all. I have been using FreeBSD for several months now, and have been configuring it as a multipurpose server. I've installed a web server, database, and a handful of other utilities. I also have now been attempting for some time to configure an e-mail service - with Sendmail. Although everything seems to work fine with receiving e-mail, I have had significant trouble with sending it. For example, I have been trying to send an e-mail from my FreeBSD server to my Gmail account. The first problem I experienced was that there a host name lookup failure for "gmail.com," which I have subsequently corrected by adding the line: gmail.com smtp:[smtp.gmail.com] to /etc/mail/mailertable. However, there is still a problem, when I try to send an e-mail, /var/log/maillog says: Aug 23 23:18:08 arches sm-mta[1049]: k7O3I7K2001049: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=397, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=IPv6, relay=localhost [IPv6:::1] Aug 23 23:18:16 arches sm-mta[1051]: STARTTLS=client, relay=gmail-smtp.l.google.com., version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=FAIL, cipher=DES-CBC3-SHA, bits=168/168 Aug 23 23:18:16 arches sm-mta[1051]: k7O3I7K2001049: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, ctladdr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (1007/0), delay=00:00:08, xdelay=00:00:08, mailer=smtp, pri=30397, relay=gmail-smtp.l.google.com.

I can't understand why it continues to say "Service unavailable" when I know Gmail is not experiencing any downtime or anything else. Is this some sort of spam filter? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Re: new 6.1 install will not boot
You pretty much followed what I had wrote before that when I had a similar problem, I booted the install disk, but exited sysinstall to a shell prompt. I then mounted the root partition, then manually copied over the kernel from the install CD to the root partition. That does copy over the GENERIC kernel which usually works but you may want to customize. Once I rebooted the system I cvsup'd, made and installed the world and a custom kernel. Remaking world will likely fix the problems you are having. -Derek At 07:22 PM 8/23/2006, Perry Hutchison wrote: > > After a CD boot, is there a reasonably simple way to have > > sysinstall reinstall just the kernel -- or the package > > containing it -- without starting completely over? > > Yeah, see what Derek wrote.

Cluster mail system using FreeBSD
Hello, I am looking for the best possible solution in order to setup a High availability mail cluster using FreeBSD (smtp/imap/pop server with 1000 accounts). Selected software are as followed : --- - Postfix - Amavisd-new - SpamAssassin - Courier Imap - DCC-DCCD - Clamav - a web mail (not yet selected but probably horde) The idea is to offer a simple and very efficient solution in order for the server to have a 100% uptime under any circumstances. I would like (if possible) to stick to software available in the ports (for ease of maintenance). I was first thinking about using Linux-HA aka. "heartbeat" and syncing the two boxes using rsync ? What other solution would you think of ? Any pointer will be very appreciated I need to build my offer quite fast. Sincerly yours. «?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§ Grégory Bernard 11, rue de la Tour Directeur 75116 Paris France www.ToDoo.biz tel : +(33) 1 40 26 43 14 «?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§«?»¥«?»§ PGP ID --> 0x1BA3C2FD P "Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail" Ce message et les pièces qui y sont éventuellement jointes sont exclusivement transmis à l'intention des personnes physiques ou morales auxquelles ils sont destinés.

Re: Occasional System Lockups
Hi Bob, I've seen this happening to a Dell server, that used a SCSI raid. One disk was with a faillure, and this would lock up the machine. This faillure however was not logged, because tthe SCSI raid controller wouldn't send the apropriate signal to FreeBSD, since they were not compatible. It may be a lot of things, but check for it.

I know nothing is 100%, but why > make the process easy for him? It seems like there is a more basic problem here than automating key downloading. If the end-user can boot up the box, then they have an opportunity to interfere with the boot process. The code providing instructions to fetch a remote key would have to be in the clear, in which case the competitor could just use that code to get the remote key (since it would do so automatically on boot, I assume you're not requiring the client to call you for key authorization every time?) and then access the disk. The problem is wanting to automate the decryption process, I think.

Re: Ethernet over Firewire fwe0:
Hello, Sorry for adding to my post before anyone responds, but: I went ahead and installed from CD and have tried to talk to the net with the fully installed system up. During boot it finds the fwe0: card and appears to be happy, but nothing talks. When I do an 'ifconfig -a' I get: fwe0: flags=108943 mtu 1500 options=8 inet6 fe80::6:1bff"fe23"3833%fwe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 35.8.1.20 netmask 0xfff8 broadcast 35.15.255.255 ether 02:06:1b:23:38:33 ch 1 dma 0 Followed by the lo0: loopback stuff. It looks a lot like the other machines I have plugged in to the same switch that work except for the 'NEEDSGIANT' thing. Am I right in assuming that it would not come up with this ifconfig and the fwe stuff in the boot messages if it were not properly in the kernel? Are there any clues from this or where else can I look to see why this thing doesn't talk to the net (but does in XP)? I will appreciate any direction. The only only google hits I have gotten that seem possibly relevant point to ubuntu and I can't seem to get to that server (from another machine that is working)- it times out. jerry > Hi, > > Is there any known problem with installing on a machine whose > Ethernet is fwe0: "Ethernet over Firewire" ? > > I am still trying to install on that IBM Z61t notebook. > I get it all to appear to work - boot into sysinstall, slicing > and partitioning, making install choices and setting up the network > config stuff until it goes to look up the FreeBSD ftp host.

Unless your stuck using that particular dist of linux I would try to gentoo stage3 base. a chroot to the /compat/linux and you can use their portage system to install and update linux apps fairly easy. The reason I got away from linux in the first place was the nightmare of updating it, but at least Gentoo uses a "ports" system that makes it less of a nightmare. Of course I am biased because I do run Gentoo on my laptop and would want the emulation base to be compatible if I package up native Gentoo apps to my FreeBSD system. -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Problems with recording
Hi! I tried to find some information about this issue via Google and it seems that I'm not only one having this problem, but there was no clear solution available. So... I try to use microphone for recording. The sound card (Conexant AC-Link Audio) works otherwise correctly, but when trying to read from /dev/dsp, the following error message will be spit out: pcm0:record:0:dsp0.0: record interrupt timeout, channel dead The mixer shows the following: Mixer vol is currently set to 55:55 Mixer pcm is currently set to 48:48 Mixer speaker is currently set to 0:0 Mixer line is currently set to 0:0 Mixer mic is currently set to 1:1 Mixer cd is currently set to 52:52 Mixer rec is currently set to 0:0 Mixer igainis currently set to 1:1 Mixer ogainis currently set to 100:100 Recording source: mic The /dev/sndstat shows: FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: at io 0x8400 irq 5 kld snd_t4dwave (4p/1r/0v channels duplex default) So, the playback works, but I'm unable to record anything. I'm able to hear myself from the headphones (so the hardware should work as expected). The machine is an HP laptop and only real information about the chipset is that it is a Conexant chip. I would appreciate any help on this issue.

I remeber in this thread somewhere it was saying you had a Dell GX1??? I've installed FreeBSD 6.0 on such a system and upgraded to 6.1-p3. The A08 BIOS is old, A10 is what I have. I think thats the latest but I'm not positive. ACPI needs to be turned on in the BIOS in order for shutdown -p to function otherwise you must manually shut it off after the halt. Whatever you do DO NOT INSTALL GRUB. It doesn't work at all and just corrupts the root partition. At least this has been my experience, only machine so far I've encountered. I would update the bios first to A10 or the latest (let me know if A10 ain't the latest), make sure ACPI is turned on and then find yourself a 6.0 iso to install and then upgrade it. Especially if there is a problem with 6.1 installing a kernel. Maybe this has been asked but the install did ask you which distribution you wanted right? Sometimes sysinstall gets confused when I change my mind on things and never asks for the distributions I want to install. This always ends with an unusable system. even though it appears to be installing something. good luck, if this is an GX1 it should work eventually, and if memory serves me the A10 bios fixed some ACPI issues from previous version. Although it seems that all Dell updates fix ACPI issues so maybe I'm just getting confused. -brian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It's a little hard to visualize how ACPI troubles could cause this behavior anyway. The loader is apparently able to read /boot/defaults/loader.conf, and "ls" finds a reasonable-looking collection of stuff, just no file named 'kernel'. If ACPI -- or anything else -- were interfering with drive access, I'd expect to see a garbled directory structure, or nothing at all.

Ethernet over Firewire fwe0:
Hi, Is there any known problem with installing on a machine whose Ethernet is fwe0: "Ethernet over Firewire" ? I am still trying to install on that IBM Z61t notebook. I get it all to appear to work - boot into sysinstall, slicing and partitioning, making install choices and setting up the network config stuff until it goes to look up the FreeBSD ftp host. Then it sets there until it times out. This is with several mirrors and the main site. In the apparently related boot messages I see: firewire0: on fwohci0 fwe0: on firewire0 if_fwe0: Fake Ethernet address: 02:06:16:23:38:33 few0: Ethernet address: 02:06:16:23:38:33 fwe0: if_start running defferred for GIANT There are several messages, both before and after this fwe0 block of messages in the form of uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] etc for 0..3 ehci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] atkbd: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] I presume these are normal because I see similar messages at boot time on machines that work fine. But, I mention since there was a fwe0 message saying if_start is deffered for GIANT and I didn't see anywhere that it did anything like resume running. Anyway, I can't seem to install over ftp - with a fixed IP and hostname. I am quite sure I got things like gateway and nameserver correct - at least some of the times I have tried it. The NIC seems to work under XP (I am setting up a dual boot) since it is able to bring down some web stuff. So, I believe the connection is good, speed, duplex matches, etc. The fwe man page says to add device firewire and device fwe to kernel config, but I presume the install kernel has them because it seems to recognize things OK - just not talk over it. So, any hints - is there something that needs enabling. jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

30 5 1 * * rootperiodic monthly 2>&1 | sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] but all I get is a blank email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] [...] also.. using 2>&1 doesn't seem appropriate, afaik you would use that in crontab if you don't want to get emails via cron You would use "2>&1" in conjunction with ">/dev/null" if you didn't want to get emails from cron, sure. But if you don't redirect stderr, then stderr doesn't end up in the mail. That is, if "periodic monthly" outputs stdout and stderr, and you only redirect (with "|") stdout, then you don't get the stderr. "2>&1" says, "send output from file-descriptor 2 (stderr) to file- descriptor 1 (stdout)". That way the redirection with the pipe contains both stdout and stderr. As far as redirecting the periodic output to a different user, set "daily_output" in /etc/periodic.conf. See /etc/defaults/periodic.conf for an example.

Geli questions.. ponderings..
Hello, Let me preface the email by saying I'm not overly familiar with geli, and it may already have the ability to do what I'm about to describe. The scenario: A FreeBSD based appliance at a customer premise. The customer really can't be trusted not to disasemble the box, and gain knowledge about the box configuration, software, and design. The idea: I'd like to use geli to encrypt *everything* on the disk. So if someone (a competitor maybe) removes the disk from the machine, he can't gain any data off of it easily. I know nothing is 100%, but why make the process easy for him? The problem: I don't want the end user to have to do anything to the box, to have it "come back up" after a reboot/power failure. The goal is an appliance that the client just plugs in, and forgets about it. The plan: the appliance would be persistantly connected to an SSL based VPN server at my central office. (Think OpenVPN server) I'd like a way for geli to encrypt the entire disk, but fetch the key from a server located on the VPN. this would require the appliance to boot up, access the internet (static IP), access the VPN (ssl key'd) and fetch the key that geli needs. Is this currently possible using geli (or even other software that I may not have heard of) or if not, would it be overly difficult to implement? Any feedback or brainstorming would be GREATLY appreciated.

Re: Cluster mail system using FreeBSD
I am looking for the best possible solution in order to setup a High availability mail cluster using FreeBSD (smtp/imap/pop server with 1000 accounts). Selected software are as followed : --- - Postfix - Amavisd-new - SpamAssassin - Courier Imap - DCC-DCCD - Clamav - a web mail (not yet selected but probably horde) The idea is to offer a simple and very efficient solution in order for the server to have a 100% uptime under any circumstances. I would like (if possible) to stick to software available in the ports (for ease of maintenance). I was first thinking about using Linux-HA aka. "heartbeat" and syncing the two boxes using rsync ? What other solution would you think of ? Can't really help with the HA aspect, but I'd take a look at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/mail/postfix-policyd-weight/pkg-descr "Policyd-weight is (as the name says) a weighted policyd for Postfix. It uses HELO, MAIL FROM and the MTA IP address for scoring their correctness. It also uses definable DNSBLs and RHSBLs in a scored fashion." I've been using that instead of spamassassin (which can be a memory hog) and very little spam makes it through. It's nice in that it doesn't even have to accept the message body to do it's thing. Also, consider, clamsmtp http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/security/clamsmtp/pkg-descr for tying clamav into postfix without having ot use amavisd...

However, you might find it easier to just add the following line to the top of the crontab: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Which will cause all mail generated by the jobs in that file to be sent to the provided address. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The periodic scripts generate their own emails, so setting MAILTO= in crontab (or manually piping the output to sendmail as you did) won't do anything. They default to the "root" email address, but you can change it by editing /etc/periodic.conf and adding lines like daily_output="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" . Use /etc/defaults/periodic.conf as a references. This feature is documented in the periodic(8) manpage, but all the examples log to files, so it's easy to miss that fact that you can also use email addresses. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Linux-HA howto for FreeBSD.
Hi, I am looking for a good howto or a detailed explanation in order to deploy Linux HA on two BSD boxes. You can grab heartbeat from the FreeBSD ports at sysutils/heartbeat (i.e. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/sysutils/heartbeat/pkg-descr) But unfortunately, it is only at version 1.2.4 in the ports while the actual software is now at version 2.0.7. I haven't tested if version 2.0.7 is operational on FreeBSD. Has anyone tried it? Should you want to give it a try since 1.2.4 is stable, the instructions on the website are fairly straight forward: http://linux-ha.org/GettingStarted#gettingstarted but it's RedHat specific. So just make sure you translate any RedHat hardware paths to the FreeBSD paths. Now, you'll need two seperate heartbeat links. So for the first one, you need an empty serial port on both machines along with a serial cable to link them together. For the second link, make sure you have a seperate network interface card on both machines and link them with a cross-link ethernet UTP cable. Use different network interface cards for your application networks. Ideally, your machines should have two serial ports, so that you can use one for the heartbeat link and the other for the serial console. Also ideally, both machines should have identical hardware. I'd also suggest to setup the disk drives in all your machines under gmirror(8) control. Read more about gmirror(8) at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=gmirror&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.1-RELEASE&format=html Make sure you two have identical hard disks and follow the instructions on how to set a RAID 1 FreeBSD OS under gmirror(8) from Ralf S. Engelschall at http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ Keep in mind that all this setup is not really usefull if the rest of your network infrastructure is not also redundant. Therefore, consider installing your firewalls under linux-ha/heartbeat and setup a linux virtual server cluster (also under heartbeat) which redirects http/ftp/sql requests to multiple web/ftp/database servers. You can find more information on linux virtual server (a.k.a. LVS) at http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ There is a FreeBSD port of LVS under net/ipvs. You can get more information about LVS for FreeBSD on the author's web page at http://dragon.linux-vs.org/~dragonfly/htm/lvs_freebsd.htm Finally, you'll need to sync the data on all those nodes. For databases, consider MySQL real-time replication or Oracle Dataguard. For ftp and http data sets, take a look at net/rsync. For mail servers, it's a bit more tricky, but there is mail/maildirsync which I've never tried.

e-mail from cron
Hi, This ought to be a fairly simple question, but I've googled and can't really find the answer. I'ld like to have the reports from the system cron jobs (daily run output, security run output, weekly run output and monthly run output) sent to an e-mail address other than root, but I want all the "postmaster" stuff (mailer-daemon emails, etc.) to continue going to root (so I don't particularly want to just forward root's mail somewhere using the aliases file). In /etc/crontab, I changed this: # Perform daily/weekly/monthly maintenance. 1 3 * * * rootperiodic daily 15 4 * * 6 rootperiodic weekly 30 5 1 * * rootperiodic monthly # to this: # Perform daily/weekly/monthly maintenance. 1 3 * * * rootperiodic daily 2>&1 | sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] 15 4 * * 6 rootperiodic weekly 2>&1 | sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] 30 5 1 * * rootperiodic monthly 2>&1 | sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] # but all I get is a blank email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] What's the best way to accomplish this?

(The second BIOS partition is a Linux /boot, which also works.)

The alternative to making an old ACPI implementation work right is to try to work around its shortcomings by trying to boot around the problem or reconfigure the underlying system to eliminate the root cause of the conflict. Searching http://www.google.com/bsd for "bad RSDP checksum" turns up that this is a recurring issue on older Dells, along with wildly disparate pokes at causes and solutions including: toggling ACPI support on/off in the BIOS workarounds for funky RAID cards replacing the video card with a different model Ain't low level hardware troubleshooting grand?

Cluster mail system using FreeBSD
Hello, I am looking for the best possible solution in order to setup a High availability mail cluster using FreeBSD (smtp/imap/pop server with 1000 accounts). Selected software are as followed : --- - Postfix - Amavisd-new - SpamAssassin - Courier Imap - DCC-DCCD - Clamav - a web mail (not yet selected but probably horde) The idea is to offer a simple and very efficient solution in order for the server to have a 100% uptime under any circumstances. I would like (if possible) to stick to software available in the ports (for ease of maintenance). I was first thinking about using Linux-HA aka. "heartbeat" and syncing the two boxes using rsync ? What other solution would you think of ? Any pointer will be very appreciated I need to build my offer quite fast.

You can also use the ports system which is more up to date typically than the binaries. However, installing via the ports means compiling from source which works but takes time. One port that you may want to install is: /usr/ports/sysutils/desktopbsd-tools go to it and type make clean make make install make clean This is a system to help you find programs and install them from source or binaries. It allows you to have the most up to date programs available. Checkout www.desktopbsd.net for their version of BSD or if you want a distribution that is very user friendly try www.PCBSD.org. Both are excellent. DesktopBSD is based on FreeBSD 5.5 while PCBSD is based on FreeBSD 6.1.

OK Got it. Thank you so much - you put meon the right track.
I have been compiling a new installation and had not yet made alterations to
create a valid /etc/hosts because the system is not in its final place on the

Re: new 6.1 install will not boot
> Recommend you get a [bigger|second] disk if you can though, > or housecleaning will be a constant chore. I got it more or less working, although not completely set up, and then that 10GB disk died: click -- kerthunk -- click -- kerthunk continuously, even after cycling power, even with only the power connected :( After replacing it with a 160GB Hitachi, and reinstalling Windoze, Linux, and FreeBSD (in that order, as before), I seem to be back at square one -- FreeBSD won't boot -- but the details are different. Partition Commander now has: Ptnsize - type - 1st sector # of sectors P0 250M FAT32 0x0B 63514017 P1 7M Linux ext2 0x83 514080 16065 P2 41.99G Unix 0xA5 530145 88068330 P3 85.75G Extended 0x0F88598475 179831610 L0 43.75G FAT32 0x0B88598538 91763217 L1 400M Linux swap 0x82 180361818819252 L2 41.60G Linux ext2 0x83 181181133 87248952 Sysinstall had not commented about the geometry with the 10GB disk, but it did this time; and as suggested I let it do what it wanted. The Dell BIOS will not tell me what it thinks the geometry is -- it just says the drive is EIDE -- so I have no direct way of verifying sysinstall's geometry; however the first BIOS partition is a working FAT32 and per the instructions that "should" be enough for sysinstall to have gotten it right. (The second BIOS partition is a Linux /boot, which also works.) The install appeared to succeed, and the FreeBSD boot manager does successfully boot Windoze and Linux, but all attempts to boot FreeBSD from the hard disk fail. The following was transcribed by hand, so there might be some typos; and I've added some notes to the right of the lsdev output. I've also confirmed, using the loader's "ls", that there is no visible file named 'kernel' in the root directory, nor anywhere under /boot, /rescue, or /sbin. Where is it supposed to come from, and how do I get it where it needs to be without reinstalling the whole thing *yet again*?
