while i use sendmail for many years and many of my users have outlook 
express (it's their problem not mine, there are lot of normal mail clients 
available for windows) and all works.


recently i installed sendmail as one of server programs when configuring 
machine for someone (standard delinuxation procedure). his users started 
complaining about problems with sending mails. no problems happened when 
receiving mail.


while lot of his users use outlook, only part of them complains, but i've 
seen it live.


when outlook starts to send large mail, it sends first few MB then chokes. 
sometimes it unchoke and send more data, chokes again etc.

sometimes it says that server didn't respond for too long time and aborts.

on server i started trafshow and it showed everything normal, but when 
choking it showed transfer speed of about 2-3kB/s.


there is no problem with cables, switches etc. as ftp sessions goes full 
speed always both to and from server.


all windows firewall was turned on or off when testing and it doesn't 
change anything.


position where it chokes is random.

tested using pine on other machine (pine was set to send directly through 
this sendmail) - no problems with 50MB mails, tested many 
times.


while i have network for over 300 users, maybe 20% of them using outlook 
(those who refused to use thunderbird we install when connecting), but 
none complained.



could You please give me any quirk about what to check more and find the 
reasons why it happens?


his network has separate machine (still running linux now) designed for 
traffic control. but traffic control rules are not port-based, and for 
sendmail server there are no control just routing.
can linux make such problems? i don't think so as FTP goes fine, but just 
asking.

You're getting confused.  When the handbook talks about branches, it
specifically means CVS branches.  At the bottom of this page is a
dropbox that lists all the available branches:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/

Because of FreeBSD's development model, there are several branches that
could be considered production quality at any time.

cvsup problems....

2006-11-18 Thread Eric Schuele


Hello,

I usually use cvsup5.us.freebsd.org.  but it has not given me any new 
bits for several days now.  And if I use ANY other server what usually 
takes five minutes, takes 30-minutes to an hour (or they just hang). 
Which is terribly annoying.


I've tried picking other servers by hand, and I've tried the 
fastest_cvsup script.  Doesn't seem to matter which I pick.  They all 
seem to be slow except cvsup5... and cvsup5 does not give me anything 
anymore.  No source, no ports, no docs.


I have not changed anything on my end.  Is there something going on that 
I am not aware of that is affecting the servers, or my ability to 
interact with them?  Is it related to the release, the move, anything?


I'm using RELENG_6.

I use:
cvsup -g -L 1 ${SUPFILE_DIR}/supfile

And:
*default host=cvsup3.us.freebsd.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr

*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6
*default delete use-rel-suffix

*default compress

src-all
ports-all tag=.
doc-all tag=.


Thanks.

I see this all the time.  It's one of the curses of software dependencies.

The technique I use and recommend is portupgrade with the -o option.
Something like:
portupgrade -fo net/openldap23-client openldap-client-2.2.30

will replace the 2.2 version with the 2.3 version.  I've done this on a
few systems without problems.  You can then install packages that require
the 2.3 verison without hassel.

freebsd 6.1

devfs creates unwanted devices in jail after ruleset applied

2006-11-18 Thread Steve Brown


I am running a DNS server in a jail and have setup a devfs mount in the
jail to have null and random devices.

The setup works fine, but once I log out then log back in the pty and
tty devices of my login get created in the jail. Which, of course, I
don't want to happen. To clarify, I'm not talking about logging into
the jail, this occurs when logging on to the system. The jail is
stripped down, not anywhere close to a virtual server.

I do the following to create the jail'd devfs at startup:

 mount_devfs devfs JAILDIR/dev

 devfs -m JAILDER/dev rule -s 35 add hide
 devfs -m JAILDIR/dev rule -s 35 add path null unhide
 devfs -m JAILDIR/dev rule -s 35 add path random unhide

 devfs -m JAILDIR/dev rule -s 35 applyset

This works great - I get a dev directory setup with just null and
random. But the second anyone logs into the system, whammo all the
sudden pty and tty devices appear inside the jail's /dev directory.

If anyone would care to unclueless me I would appreciate it.

Re: PowerEdgeTM 1950

Hello guys,

I want to know if Dell PowerEdge 1950 works fine on FreeBSD 6.1 i386.
(I am interested if network cards are detected and work properly, also
if SATA/SAS drive is detected properly.

There are two problems that you must overcome and they require that you
rebuild world and kernel. The network card driver has a problem, and the
usb driver has a problem. The former causes the network card to become
unusable and only a reboot will fix it. The latter prevents you from
using the DRAC card (if you ordered one with the 1950.)

Both problems can be overcome with newer source code files, but you then
have to rebuild world and kernel. And you must save those source code
files, because you'll need them every time you have to update world or
kernel due to security patches.

The two files in question are if_bce.c and ehci.c.

if_bce.c

http://www.ifdnrg.com/freebsd_broadcom_dell_1950.htm

ehci.c v 1.42:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/usb/ehci.c?rev=1.42content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

Put this version in place in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb, comment out line 766
and rebuild your kernel and the DRAC5 keyboard will start to work.

The commit note says MFC after 2 weeks, but this seems to have been missed.
I'm going to ping the maintainers and see if I can get it MFCed before 6.2
comes out.

Another option is to wait a month or two for 6.2, which already incorporates
these fixes.  You can try out the 6.2-RC sets, and it will be trivial to
upgrade form RC to RELEASE.

I tried cvsup3.us.freebsd.org (the example you showed in your

with my usual cvsup host (although it was busy enough that I had
to try for a while before I got in).  So whatever is going on does
seem to be local to you.

Try increasing the verbosity of cvsup; it may be able to tell you
what its problem is.

If you want to update your system (base, not ports), you first have to
run cvsup and then make buildworld, kernel etc
If you just want to modify your kernel there is no need for a cvsup at
all (except you want to update of the ports tree)

It won't do you any good to rebuild the kernel unless you first cvsup the 
new sources.  You'd just be building the same kernel that you already have.

None if you don't want to update it. OTOH, if you want
to do that, you should update the sources before
building anything because whatever you build, it is
built from sources.

Most people do not need a custom Kernel, just some modules added at runtime.

On What part of source do you intend to run cvsup?
New Kernel should be run in order to provide binaries
with system calls not available in old Kernel.
Compiling something with new Kernel headers in place,
this may be necessary in general.

Most applications run nicely without upgrading Kernel, you
can even switch back to an older one.

Most of the time i upgrade by running a new kernel (for weeks :) at first,
replacing system libs etc. afterwards.

GELI + sync issue

2006-11-18 Thread Peter Thoenen

Hallo,

Recently updated to 6.2RC1 and upon reboot GELI is now asking me for a
password when it attempts to mount /dev/ad0.  This is left over from an
old atempt at removable fulldisk encryption that is no longer used.  I
can type the password wrong 3 time and then it mounts /dev/ad0 as
normal.

Trying to figure out how correct this.  'geli dump /dev/ad0' lists the
metadata (namely the -b problem) but a 'geli kill /dev/ad0' states
Userland and kernel parts are out of sync (I also get his prob when I
attempt to mount a geli swap partition)

I don't think I am actually out of sync though as uname -a gives proper
output and I have gone through the src/UPDATING and FBSD Handbook
building world process 3 times now.  All appears to be working except
this.  Anybody have any pointers on how to fix and do so w/o losing my
current data.

Some fun outputs:

#bsdlabel /dev/ad0
bsdlabel: /dev/ad0: no valid label found

#geli kill -v /dev/ad0
Userland and kernel parts are out of sync.

#fdisk

my solution for problems with 13, were resolved using my /etc/hosts file.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /etc/hosts|grep cvsup
192.168.0.1 cvsup13.us.freebsd.org

... just make it time out.  i wonder if there is a mechanism in the 
fastest_cvsup to make it deliberatly exclude specific cvsup repositories.

on a side note... what was the file again to check in your sources, to tell 
you the version you have just downloaded?

it's not about the ath-chipset in this case. The chip works fine, but
you should take care of the card you buy. Even if the chipset is

I'm using a DWL G650 which is equipped with the Atheros chipset, too.
The signal quality is great and it works flawlessly.

TCP parameters and interpreting tcpdump output

2006-11-18 Thread Dieter

In the tcpdump output below, the src machine is sending data to the
bsd machine.  At one point during this test, the bsd machine is slowly
falling behind, as shown in the smaller and smaller window size.

It looks like at one point, the bsd machine takes 5.5 seconds to
ack a packet.  :-(  Am I interpreting the -ttt delta time correctly?

Getsockopt() says bsd machine's send buffer = 33580, rec buffer = 197100
Is there a way for the bsd machine to find out what the src machine's
send buffer size is?  I doubt that it is large enough for 5.5 seconds'
worth of data, but it would be nice to know what the goal is.

Towards the end of the log, it looks to me like both sides are a
bit quick to resend data and acks?

system updates, as affected by securelevel

2006-11-18 Thread Darrel


With OpenBSD securelevel=2 I can install a kernel, make build, and
install programs which are compiled using Systrace.

What is the highest securelevel that I can configure on RELENG_6_2
which will not affect compiling and installing; e.g., perhaps not
much local difference but having to reboot for a firewall change?
This installation is new and the AUDIT option will be in the kernel.

Thanks,

(I already have qmail working.) That page seems to only offer these two

chown vpopmail:vchkpw ~vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
chmod 6711 ~vpopmail/bin/vchkpw

And, according to the instructions...

If you don't get any errors, then Vpopmail is good to go!

Well, I didn't get any errors, but when I reboot and ps there's no vpopmail :( 
What do?

Re: Qmail Vpopmail From Ports

2006-11-18 Thread John Levine

Don't install qmail from the port, which includes a whole bunch of
ill-advised patches.  Instead, download and install netqmail 1.05 from
www.qmail.org, which has a small set of patches that really work.

I've been meaning to make a port of netqmail, but haven't had time yet.

You'll also want daemontools and ucspi-tcp.  For both of those, the
ports are OK.

Haven't tried the port of vpopmail, but the port has a disconcertingly
large number of patches that it silently applies.

 Because it's not perfectly good.  Many of the patches only sort of work.

 I just want to get vpopmail working with qmail.

 If you don't care whether it crashes mysteriously and loses mail, you 
 might as well use the port.  If you actually want it to work, delete the 
 port and use netqmail.

John, there's a rationalle for using ports, you know. A very, very strong 
argument in favor of them. 
Would you mind telling me how to get vpopmail working?

port redirection with natd and ipfw

2006-11-18 Thread Nilton Volpato


Hi,

I'm using a computer with FreeBSD as a gateway and NAT for a private
LAN. Let's say the gateway has external.com as external address, and
192.168.0.1 as internal address, so that the LAN is 192.168.0.0/24.

I'm doing a number of port redirects in the gateway, for svn, http,
https, ssh, etc using natd. However, these port redirects do not work
from inside the LAN.

For instance, if I point my browser to http://external.com and I'm in
the LAN, then it will not work. I can't use the internal address of
the web server because none of the links will work on the web page.

In summary, I want that my port redirections work also when I try to
connect to the gateway's external address from inside the LAN.

I'm using a minimal ipfw configuration to try to solve this. This is
the default configuration.

00050 divert 8668 ip4 from any to any via vr0
00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00200 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
00300 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
65000 allow ip from any to any
65535 deny ip from any to any

I tried to add:

00060 divert 8668 ip4 from 192.168.0.0/24 to external.com

expecting that it would send the packets from LAN to natd, which would
apply the port redirections. But it did not work.

How can I solve this?

Thanks,
-- Nilton

I've installed qmail/vpopmail many ways - from source, using the  
instructions from qmailrocks and most recently using the instructions  
found here:


http://www.tnpi.biz/internet/mail/toaster/install.shtml

The toaster method seems to me to be the most comprehensive, and  
you can use (or not use) ports as you see fit.


Installing over your current installation using the toaster  
instructions should work OK - the install scripts seem to try to do  
the right thing.


Best of luck,

link_elf_lookup_symbol: missing symbol hash table

2006-11-18 Thread David Kelly


Am getting a lot of these:

Nov 18 12:54:19 Grumpy kernel: link_elf_lookup_symbol: missing symbol  
hash table


in /var/log/messages and dmesg with 6.2-PRERELEASE. Reading /usr/src/ 
UPDATING has been of no use, nor searching the mailing list archives.


The message appears on the text console very early in the booting  
process. Am using an edited GENERIC based on 1.429.2.4 2005/10/28  
19:21:27 but failed to notice significant additions in the latest  
GENERIC.


grep -il /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/* didn't hit anything.

The most unusual thing about my system configuration would be /boot/ 
loader.conf:


geom_vinum_load=YES

# either load these here or statically compile into the kernel:
# 3/17/2006 dmk
#wlan_wep_load=YES# used by WEP
#wlan_tkip_load=YES   # used by WPA
wlan_ccmp_load=YES# used by WPA2

AFAIK you really don't want to use gcc 3.4's java support, it was not

 It looks like at one point, the bsd machine takes 5.5 seconds to ack
 a packet.  :-( Am I interpreting the -ttt delta time correctly?

A shrinking window and no packet loss is an indication that the program
the socket is connected to isn't reading data fast enough.  If you're
locally gzipping the output of a remote backup, for example, you'll see
this.  The receive window on the BSD box shrunk to 1051 free bytes, the
sender decided not to send a partial packet, 5.5 seconds later the
process on the BSD box finally read some data, and the kernel sent a
couple of window update acks to the sending box letting it know to send
more data.
 
 Getsockopt() says bsd machine's send buffer = 33580, rec buffer = 197100
 Is there a way for the bsd machine to find out what the src machine's
 send buffer size is?  I doubt that it is large enough for 5.5 seconds'
 worth of data, but it would be nice to know what the goal is.
 
 Towards the end of the log, it looks to me like both sides are a
 bit quick to resend data and acks?

Those acks are being resent because from the BSD machine's point of
view, the sender has skipped some data starting at 1281784, so it'll
keep asking for that byte until the sender sends it (which it
eventually does).  The receiver usually sends an ack for every other
full-size incoming data packet, but I'm pretty sure when there's loss
every one gets an ack (whether the incoming packet increments the
receivers sequence number or not).

The completely duplicated data packets from the sender, even before any
perceived packet loss, are troubling.  Either the sender decided to
resend that data on its own, or the packet was duplicated by a router
or switch in transit.  Dumps of the same stream from both sender and
receiver would help, as would enabling rfc 1323 extensions on both
systems (which will put a timestamp value on each packet and enable
SACK.  It's enabled by default on FreeBSD).

Re: Qmail Vpopmail From Ports

2006-11-18 Thread John L

John, there's a rationalle for using ports, you know. A very, very 
strong argument in favor of them.


In general I agree.  The qmail port, unlike most of the other ports, is 
junk.



Would you mind telling me how to get vpopmail working?


If you really want to know, please read chapter 13 of my qmail book.

R's,
John

Re: TCP parameters and interpreting tcpdump output


My comments are based both on the packet dump here and the source code
you posted earlier ...

I think so.  My guess would be that your process blocked on stdout.
You don't mention what you're doing with stdout from the program, are
you just letting it scroll on the terminal, or redirecting it to a file?

In any case, if stdout blocks (because the disk is slow, for example)
your recv buffer will fill up until your program can get the data
written.  As an experiment, try running the process and redirecting
stdout to /dev/null -- if it doesn't exhibit the problem, then you
need to look at where you're actually storing the data and speed that
part up.

Is the data coming in at a fairly constant rate?  If not, and you're only
having trouble when it bursts, you can work around this by keeping a
ring buffer and doing non-blocking writes.  It'll make your code more
complex, but it will allow your program to absorb some of the bursting
data and keep the window from closing -- especially if you've got plenty
of RAM.  If this is a constant rate of data, however, you're going to
need a faster way to store or process or whatever you do with it as it
comes in.

 Getsockopt() says bsd machine's send buffer = 33580, rec buffer = 197100
 Is there a way for the bsd machine to find out what the src machine's
 send buffer size is?

I don't know of any way but to ask them.  Again, it will only help if
it's a bursting problem.  If your receiving process is unable to keep
up with the required throughput, eventually you'll block and the other
end will run out of buffer space.

 I doubt that it is large enough for 5.5 seconds'
 worth of data, but it would be nice to know what the goal is.
 
 Towards the end of the log, it looks to me like both sides are a
 bit quick to resend data and acks?
