OK, some more info, and I'll stop bombarding the list.
I uninstalled www/linux-flashplugin9 and reinstall www/linux-flashplugin7
installed the plugin as root with
nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
Checked video.google.com, works OK (the usual slight video / sound async) :
http://video.google.com.au/videoplay?docid=2241387385572734828
Youtube works great (well, 'as designed' G) too .
CNN doesn't work because they want me to have flash = 8 . Other than that, it
seems fine.
I'm sticking to flash7 for now, running on native ffox - it means some fewer
ports, less duplication, and Java 1.5 in the browser, from the Diablo project...
/me happy :)

This whine stopped entirely the moment I put kern.hz=100 in /boot/loader.conf and rebooted. Quite relieving! Possibly a beat frequency between the 1kHz default slicing and some faster oscillator on board? You could play around with kern.clockrate, sometimes quite small frequency changes make a difference, especially if it's a harmonic. Default HZ jumped from 100 to 1000 probably around the time when more servers were seen running at nearer 3000MHz than 300 :) Interesting! I've booted the EPIA with Hz=840 and Hz=1160, and the whine was *considerably* quieter in both cases. It really seemed to be some kind of harmonic oscillation at Hz=1000.

That avoids the use of a second NIC and allows the use of the router's other ports. It has the additional advantage that you can put the router back into NAT mode, which can be useful for troubleshooting networking problems or if your FreeBSD machine has a fault. It's also useful if you want to boot a live-cd with internet access.

I've found Flash 7 to work pretty damn well in, say, 90% of the websites. In
the remaining 10%, it's blocked by the content creators and Macromedia wanting
me to upgrade. No crashes, no issues with navigations.
What sites have you had problems with?

SSH and Sendmail problems w/ld-elf.so.1 after upgrade
Greetings, Last night, I performed a binary upgrade on two servers from 4.11 to 6.2. Both servers appeared to have identical configurations, apart from small differences like perl modules and the like. I built one of them myself a few years ago; a former co-worker built the other while I was on vacation, and I have no way to reach him to determine what he may have done differently. Both upgrades appeared to work without any trouble. The server I originally built is operating normally. The server my former co- worker built is having problems with SSH and Sendmail (and possibly other things I haven't yet discovered). Attempting to ssh into the new box results in: ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused Watching ssh -d I see: debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110 debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA debug1: private host key: #0 type 2 DSA debug1: rexec_argv[0]='/usr/sbin/sshd' debug1: rexec_argv[1]='-d' debug1: Bind to port 22 on ::.

Even playing videos with mplayer on the EPIA doesn't look different in any way. Is it okay to stay with 100 Hz with this type of low-speed CPU/boards? Or are there some compelling reasons not to? Actually, many Unix systems ran with HZ=100 until a few years ago, about when Gb ethernet and CPUs became common. A slower machine like the EPIA boxes do quite well with HZ=100/200/250 or so...HZ=1000 is better if you have a fast box running lots of concurrent processes, and/or are proxying or routing network traffic where the difference between 10 ms and 1ms of latency adds up and/or effects other systems. -- -Chuck A while ago, I noticed someone's kernel config that included: hertz=2000 which made me wonder where this setting info comes from?

Run that, and you get: a: not found Interestingly enough, if you run that same script in a Debian Linux environment, you get: ./testfile: line 2: a: command not found Most of you will probably instantly see what I did wrong in that there shouldn't be any spaces between the variable name, the = sign and the 5 which could be anything else.

Problem with a NIC in FBSD 6.2
Hello, I have a bit of a problem I'm hoping someone here can help with. I built a 6.2 FBSD box and wound up with a bad NIC out of 3 and what I thought might have been a bad pci slot. I replaced the NIC with a new one, and moved the card to another slot just to make sure I took care of the problem. However, now when I boot up, my rl0 interface is recognized, but isn't 'initialized'. What I mean by that is that I see entries in dmesg, but an ifconfig does not show that interface. I can't even plumb the thing as the OS says it doesn't exist. What really throws me is that the other two NICs and a video card that were also moved are recognized with no problems at all. Problems just seem to follow the rl0 interface. When looking through dmesg, I see the following: rl0: RealTek 8139 10/100BaseTX port 0x9000-0x90ff mem 0xde00-0xdeff irq 5 at device 13.0 on pci0 rl0: reset never completed! rl0: unknown device ID: device_attach: rl0 attach returned 6 I'm about at the point where I'll just re-install since I haven't gotten very far yet, but I'd like to learn something from this. My searches thus far haven't been very helpful as most of the results have been concerning problems with ACPI and disabling it. I'm new to FreeBSD, so even if someone can point me to a good guide on dealing with hardware in FreeBSD, it would be greatly appreciated. Of course if that was in addition to whatever direct suggestions you might have on how to resolve this problem, that would be wonderful too. ;-) Thanks much!

Problems just seem to follow the rl0 interface. Hmmm .. ISTM that the way to attack this is to take a single NIC and try it in each slot to make sure that card it properly recognized. Repeat for each NIC. You will discover one of several possibilities: a) A given NIC is actually bad in that it fails in one or more slots where the other (good) NICs work in any slot you try. Remedy: Place the NIC on the ground and strike it repeatedly with a large hammer. b) All NICs work in some slots but fail on others. This would hint to one of two possibilities: A bad PCI slot or a motherboard that does strange and perverse things by hardwiring certain interrupts to certain slot positions (yes, I've seen this and it's maddening). Remedy: Run over the motherboard with a large tank. c) Any given NIC will work in any slot, but they cannot all coexist in the same machine. I have seen this sort of problem (not with NICs) and it was the aforementioned PCI interrupt mapping being hardwired and/or shared in unpleasant ways. REMEDY: Again, run over the motherboard. P.S.

Re: Finally Converting From Bind 8 - Bind 9

I am (ever so) slowly moving my domain from FBSD 4.x to 6.2. I am now
at the point where I need to convert my Bind 8 configuration to Bind 9.
In so doing, I like to finally separate my internal (non-routable) hosts
so that their names never resolve outside the private network, and
expose only the public facing hosts to the world via DNS. I'd also
like to (finally) associate names with dhcpd-provided addresses
so both forwards reverses work inside the private network.
Could some kind soul please point me to a good HOWTO on this migration and
reconfiguration? I am DAGSing as I write this, but so far have not
found what I want.
TIA,
The first part of what you want is easy.
In named.conf you'll have something like...
acl private-hosts { 192.168.1.0/24; 192.168.2.0/24; };
view internal {
match-clients { private-hosts; };
zone example.org {
type master;
file master/db.internal.example.org;
};
};
view external {
match-clients { any; };
zone example.org {
type master;
file master/db.example.org;
};
};
Now you have two separate zonefiles, one which is consulted when someone from
192.168.1.0/24 or 192.168.2.0/24 makes a query and one that is consulted when
anyone else makes a query.

I think that you can find answers to a lot of problems mentioned here
if you read the threads starting from
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-June/150737.html
and from

SMP options and core dump failure
Hello, We have a problem with SMP kernel. It could not dump out core when the crash happens. I am able to isolate the problem to kernel configurations which have SMP enabled when used with 2 cpus. With ONE cpu the core dump works ok. I built the kernel with GENERIC, and deliberately crash the kernel (for testing purpose). The core dump works fine. Only added the options SMP and crashed the kernel, then prior to any pages being dumped out, it hangs there. Has someone successfully core dumped on a system using SMP kernel with multiple CPUs? I tried on two different boxes (different motherboards, CPUs and hard disks). Both got failed. I tried to enable the DDB, but don't know what to look for when it goes into ddb.

It allows FreeBSD to indeed allocate up to 2.5GB of KVM. But... there must ofcourse be enough kvm to begin with. If I'm completely wrong here please someone correct me. Check sysctl vm.kvm_size to see the limit. Changing the amount of kvm is not something that I know how to do.

But, on my 6.2 machine that immediately raises the swap usage to 2GB and does use disk instead of RAM when I test using it. That's because you used -o reserve. Leave it out and it'll be fine. When using with -o reserve and swap it returns immediately, just like with -t malloc without the -o reserve (except without the nasty repercussions of running out of RAM). My problem isn't that it uses the swap (nothing is using it anyway), but that it is using disk at all, which is way to slow for what I'm trying to do. Thanks for the help!

b) All NICs work in some slots but fail on others. This would hint
to one of two possibilities: A bad PCI slot or a motherboard
that does strange and perverse things by hardwiring certain
interrupts to certain slot positions (yes, I've seen this and
it's maddening). Remedy: Run over the motherboard with a large
tank.
Before heading to your local military surplus shop for a second hand tank, you
may want to have a play with the PCI IRQ settings in your motherboard :
- Change them from auto to one different IRQ to each slot.
- DISABLE devices you dont need. Do you need 2 COM ports + LPT + who knows what
else? This is usually the problem - you're NIC, in a certain pci slot,
conflicts with other devices.
In most motherboards, the IRQ assignment is shown just after POST and just
before the OS boots (best way to see it is to remove all bootable devices so
it's stuck after POST). You *really* want to have individual IRQs for each NIC.\
I've had this problem with some ASUS motherboards, Award bios + 3+ fxp cards.

Thank you all, for your replies. After messing around and trying a few
things (including messing with the BIOS settings by disabling serial and

of the Netgear cards and putting in an old 3com 3c905 that I had sitting

And, to answer Iams question: It's for a firewall. :)

and a video card that were also moved are recognized with no problems
at
all. Problems just seem to follow the rl0 interface.
[]
b) All NICs work in some slots but fail on others. This would hint
to one of two possibilities: A bad PCI slot or a motherboard
that does strange and perverse things by hardwiring certain
interrupts to certain slot positions (yes, I've seen this and
it's maddening). Remedy: Run over the motherboard with a large
tank.
Before heading to your local military surplus shop for a second hand tank,
you
may want to have a play with the PCI IRQ settings in your motherboard :
- Change them from auto to one different IRQ to each slot.
- DISABLE devices you dont need. Do you need 2 COM ports + LPT + who knows
what
else? This is usually the problem - you're NIC, in a certain pci slot,
conflicts with other devices.
In most motherboards, the IRQ assignment is shown just after POST and just
before the OS boots (best way to see it is to remove all bootable devices
so
it's stuck after POST). You *really* want to have individual IRQs for each
NIC.\
I've had this problem with some ASUS motherboards, Award bios + 3+ fxp
cards.

good to hear it works. FWIW, i've had weird issues with netgear NICs too (not
only on FBSD) - sticking to intel / 3com / Bge from now on
