Re: diagnosing a reacurring system freeze
Dear Derek, Kris and others, Solved - thank you very much for your help! It was the ehthernet adapter. I got an Intel adapter and haven't had a single problem with freezes.

The cheapest solution is probably having a pile of symlinks on the FTP site so that everywhere "amd64" appears under pub/FreeBSD, there is an equivalent "em64t" name that just points to it (existing symlinks, directories and ISO images). Maybe add some bigger notes that the "amd64" distribution should be used on EM64T CPUs.

em0 invalid checksum on new T60
I just got my new ThinkPad T60 and have been installing merrily away. So far most things have worked fine, though I still have lots to do and will no doubt have a few more questions. A big one right off the start, though, is that my Ethernet card is not working. On boot I get this: --- em0: port 0x3000-0x301f mem 0xee00-0xee01 irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci2 em0: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid em0: Unable to initialize the hardware device_attach: em0 attach returned 5 --- I Googled for this and saw very few reports of this error; a post from Dan Langille in 2004 suggested adding hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1" to /boot/loader.conf, but this had no effect. Any other thoughts? The Atheros card was detected and is working fine, so I have WiFi, but it'll be tough to function without an Ethernet connection. Thanks.

If you really want VMware then install a supported Linux distro and run VMware server. (Or go out and buy ESX or GSX server or one of the Workstation products). FreeBSD 6.2 works great as a guest under most VMware products. > There will be no X windows involved, just hopefully 2 > DHCP servers running as if they were on two separate boxes. > > Any information to point me in the right direction or > reasons why this is not a good idea are appreciated. For what you're talking about, jails make a lot more sense than virtualization or emulation. If you really want to run virtual machines under FreeBSD, take a look at qemu. qemu (even with the kqemu_kmod port (highly recommended) definitely has a noticeable performance impact, but DHCP is so lightweight that it probably won't matter.

[SOLVED] Re: login.conf not honored for rc scripts?
Ok, I should have dug into the rc scripts to begin with. For archive sake, and so others who may stumble upon this can find a solution, I found that for mysql, I needed the following in rc.conf: mysql_limits=YES And also, since the mysql rc script is hard-coded to use the login class "mysql", I had to change that name. For apache, it's more configurable, so I was able to add the following: apache22limits_enable=YES apache22limits_args="-e -C www" And I just renamed the gallery class to www for clarity. Sorry to bug the list :) I should have read the damn source to begin with.

Did you download the AMD64 port of FreeBSD (AMD is the developer of the architecture that Intel calls "EM64T", so the name "amd64" also refers to "em64t" platforms). If you are attempting to install the IA64 port of FreeBSD then you are using the wrong architecture.

vmware Questions
If one has a FreeBSD system that has 1 gigabyte of RAM and a 1-GHZ processor, would it be possible to run a couple of vmware instances of FreeBSD? I want to set up a DHCP server on each virtual machine and configure one to be optimized for DHCP failover and dynamic leases while the other is dedicated to static bootp service. It would be much easier for the 2 instances of dhcpd to run in separate machines, so to speak, since they normally use the same named files for logging and configuration. What sort of a performance hit does one usually see on a virtual machine? When we run dhcpd on a normal FreeBSD system of the type described above, the system is normally loaded around 0.05 or so so it isn't having to work too hard. Thanks for any help as to what vmware port is best. The platform is FreeBSD and the 2 virtual machines will also be FreeBSD if that makes any difference. There will be no X windows involved, just hopefully 2 DHCP servers running as if they were on two separate boxes. Any information to point me in the right direction or reasons why this is not a good idea are appreciated. Thank you.

Java install problem
I just downloaded and installed the 2 packages from the freebsdfoundation.org website, diablo-jre-freebsd6.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz and diablo-jdk-freebsd6.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz. However, when I restart Seamonkey or Firefox Java is not enabled. There were no messages after the packages installed indicating any more steps were necessary for configuration. Maybe some links need to be created that were not done in the install? I thought these packages were just supposed to work. Any help is appreciated.

Mount order of fstab
Hello, I am trying to mount a smb share into a jail. The way that I am trying to accomplish this is: 1. mount the smb share onto /mnt read only 2. mount the /mnt share into the /jail/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx directory nullfs This all works by hand. However, when set in fstab to mount the smb share and then the nullfs following it, the nullfs is mounted first then the smb share and this shows nothing. Is there a way that I can force the order or am I just plain doing something wrong?

Re: Which file to request SIOCGIFMAC on?
Hi Well that's weird, is MAC defined by default at all? I tried searching for the definition but couldn't find it. I never thought it would be this hard just to get the ethernet address from an ethernet interface in FreeBSD. I think i'll take a look at the netlib source next, something tells me it will be easier to just plagiarize their method than going through the kernel source any more.

I am buying a MacBook for personal use though so it would be nice to run it on osx. I wouldn't like to start using another library just to get the hardware address of an interface though, that seems kinda overkill for what should be a simple task. The program is already using libpcap but that is included in FreeBSD by default so you don't have to install it. Do you have any idea of why i'm getting this error from ioctl when i'm doing what the manual says i should do? I am of course running it as root to because the libpcap operations require it. What might help me is to take a look at the source of that libnet_get_hwaddr function in libnet. I'll try that, thank you very much for the tip. So far i've been trying to look at the source for ifconfig to figure out how it gets the hardware address. Of course it uses SIOCGIFMAC but i can't find the socket it opens because i can't find where it uses the maclabel_status function. The problem isn't with the socket type or options. If you debug ifconfig, you'll find out that the ioctl call always returns -1, and the program goes on to the "goto mac_free" line. Take a look at /usr/src/sys/net/if.c, line 1258 Should we deduce that the particular ioctl isn't supported? P.S.

On one hand they have the IA64 architecture which they originally intended to be the successor to the IA32 (aka x86 or i386) architecture. IA64 never became very popular however. AMD created their own 64 bit architecture - AMD64 (aka x86-64) which had the big advantage of being backwards compatible with the x86 architecture. Eventually Intel too started to implement chips around the AMD64 architecture - except they called it EM64T. FreeBSD supports both the ia64 and amd64 architectures. Unless you have a computer with an Itanium or Itanium 2 CPU (which you do not have) you want to install the amd64 version of FreeBSD and not ia64. (Or the i386 version since that will also work fine, albeit only in 32-bit mode.) -- Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You provided no details, but I'm guessing you're trying to install the ia64 version of FreeBSD on an EM64T system. They are not compatible. The EM64T technology is compatible with the amd64 platform.

What if the action of the rule that does the 'keep-state' (here a limit src-addr) is a skipto, rather than an allow / fwd / divert etc rule that would terminate the search? Does 're-executing' here imply anything about whether the skipto's conditional branch is or is not taken? if the keep-state rule is a skipto then the check-state will skip to.. I use that in some rules. here's a snippet that I have when acting as a filtering transparent bridge, with DNS replies (from the outside) being diverted to a snooper. The bridge is between em2 (inside) and em3 (outside). 01200 17588453 1257728932 skipto 1210 udp from any to any dst-port 53 recv em2 01201 16192860 2721432229 skipto 1220 udp from any 53 to any recv em3 01202 43658738 21537916245 skipto 1250 ip from any to any 01210 34023270 3994649771 skipto 1240 ip from any to any keep-state 01220 0 0 check-state 01229 2364 441701 deny ip from any to any 01240 16190496 2720990528 divert 5001 udp from any 53 to any recv em3 01242 17832774 1273659243 deny ip from any to any (note this requires patches to allow divert from a bridge.) It's convoluted I know but it only (well, mostly) diverts packets from the outside that are part of a conversation that was started already (probably by a dns request from inside) DNS packets from the outside that are not a response to something we already asked for are discarded (a DOS protection) note that all the packets that went to the check-state, (1220) ended up going back to 1210 where they did the skipto 1240 and were filtered again. I bought into this because admin said that more connections were being allowed than the limit src-addr clause should allow, and I assumed that the skipto branch was not being taken on over-limit packets, and that the following fwd rule (allowing any type of packets including SYN) was being executed, which would account for what he'd said was happening. admin above asserts that my assumption was wrong, and that in a match beyond the limit number of connections for that src/dest address, the setup packet is 'implicitly dropped and the search terminates', and while I can't find that stated as such in ipfw(8), he may be right. Which still doesn't explain why connections from a particular IP beyond his specified limit are allowed to be established, as originally stated. [shrug] Over to the ipfw gurus.

Any tape drive that uses standard SCSI as does the 'Ultrium' will work just fine. I have used DDS, DLT and LTO with no problem. I am assuming by Ultrium you mean the HP LTO drives. They read and wrote very fast and seemed reliable, but didn't seem to have the high speed file seek ability of the others. Seeks (eg mt fsf nn) down the tape took almost as long as just reading the tape. That seemed strange to me. I have not tried the hardware compression.

Pretty much all SCSI-based tape drives work just fine with the normal st device; and yes, one can use "mt comp" command to enable or disable the built-in hardware compression. However, most tape drives default to enabling their preferred compression algorithm already, so you most likely won't need to do anything special except run tar, dump, or whatever to actually write data to the tape...

All versions prior to 5.5 have a problem. 5.5 has the correct timezone data. 6.2 is OK, but earlier versions of 6.X also have old data. We didn't isolate exactly what versions, though. In any case, if you've upgraded from a problematic version to a recent version, you have to run tzsetup again to get the new timezone file installed. If you have an old version and can't updated, you can install a port that brings your tz data up to date. -- 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]"

Well, it's definitely pf that's doing it, then. Some basic diagnostics would be to add parts back into the pf one or two rules at a time to see exactly what rules are causing the issue.

Hi Subburaman,
please read

Membership to the wheel group will give you some more access than not belonging
to that group, but probably is not what you have in mind (if you come from a
MS Windows background where belonging to "Administrator" group is all you
really need to wreak hav[del del] err... "manage" a system ;). It will
definitely allow you to su to root...

Well I install their driver, which appears to work fine (the first disk is now da0s1), but then their raid management software won't install. It keeps looking for old version of libraries (which I was apparently able to get around by linking to the current libraries) and now it's giving me the following error: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so.5: Undefined symbol "__stdoutp" Obviously this is a problem with highpoint's own freebsd support, but is there any way to get around this with FreeBSD 6.x? Has anyone here had any luck with rebuilding an array using an hpt372 card in freebsd? I can tell you right off that linking libraries to older versions is just a plain bad idea. I have no Highpoint card but I'll bet that you want /usr/ports/misc/compat5x port installed to find the real versions of the libraries that you faked up with your links. libncurses.so.5 is clearly listed in the packing list for that port.

Re: Best partitioning scheme for my HDD? Please advise.
What would be the best sizes for the disk partitions so that I don't run out of space on any of them while also leaving the maximum amount of space possible for the future software to be installed? While I'd certainly go with a single partition as a solution for your setup, if you really insisted on having separate partitions, you could use a logical volume manager like Vinum which should, if I'm not mistaken, allow you to resize partitions on the fly, reducing the unused partitions and increasing the greedy ones. -- Nino ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This might be an MTU problem. Is the MTU set to 1500 everywhere? You can try using a smaller MTU - like 1400 - on two computers, try a transfer and if that works, you'll have to check the switches involved. > This is using Secure CoPy. Do you mean scp(1)?

What if the action of the rule that does the 'keep-state' (here a limit
src-addr) is a skipto, rather than an allow / fwd / divert etc rule that
would terminate the search? Does 're-executing' here imply anything
about whether the skipto's conditional branch is or is not taken?
I bought into this because admin said that more connections were being
allowed than the limit src-addr clause should allow, and I assumed that
the skipto branch was not being taken on over-limit packets, and that
the following fwd rule (allowing any type of packets including SYN) was
being executed, which would account for what he'd said was happening.
admin above asserts that my assumption was wrong, and that in a match
beyond the limit number of connections for that src/dest address, the
setup packet is 'implicitly dropped and the search terminates', and
while I can't find that stated as such in ipfw(8), he may be right.
Which still doesn't explain why connections from a particular IP beyond
his specified limit are allowed to be established, as originally stated.
I've changed "limit src-addr N" to "limit src-addr dst-addr N" - to key
the limit on client parties trying to pose some single external IP
address under attack (and, admittedly, the transparent proxy down with
it :))
Some bit of scripting below allows me to monitor ipfw's dynamic rules
usage keyed by src-addr+dst-addr, sorted by rule count (top 10 users):
ipfw -d show | sed -n '/^## Dynamic rules /,$p' | tail -n+2 | awk '$5 ==
"LIMIT" { k=sprintf("%s %s", $7, $10); a[k]++ } END { for (i in a)
{printf "%3d %s\n", a[i], i }}' | sort -nr -k1,1 | head
Typical output:
32 client1.ip.ad.dr x.x.x.x
30 client1.ip.ad.dr y.y.y.y
20 client1.ip.ad.dr z.z.z.z
14 client2.ip.ad.dr e.f.g.h
...
it shows that client1.ip.ad.dr has 32 connections to x.x.x.x, 30
connections to y.y.y.y, etc.
And here's the thing: when under "attack", netstat -na | fgrep
client1.ip.ad.dr shows a huge number of connections to some single
x.x.x.x, port 80 in the ESTABLISHED state - 2, 3 times the value of
limit - with full send queue usage (as determined by
net.inet.tcp.sendspace) - all opening at a very fast pace!! The ipfw -d
script, though, shows that the limit is not yet even crossed! Only when
the netstat's connection count gets to 4-5 times the limit does ipfw
start to realize something's wrong and drop packets - the usage count
shown by the script above is then strictly that of "limit src-addr N"!
It _must_ some different timeouts, I don't know _which_ timeouts though.
True, some buggy web-browsers of many "good" clients leave the
connection in the FIN_WAIT_2 state until timed out - and this still
counts as open (eats up a socket etc.) - that's why I was forced to
change "limit src-addr N" to "limit src-addr dst-addr N" to better get
the idea.
[shrug] Over to the ipfw gurus.
Ditto.
Cheers, Ian
