Re: How to foward subdomains?
Sdävtaker wrote: Hello Sorry in advance for my english,it is not my main language. I got a tiny network with 2 computers and only 1 external ip. I configured my router to foward the dns port to machine1, and registered it in nic as ns1.mydomain.com, i had successfully moved my registered domains to that dns and could run all my services in that machine, ie i can http://www.mydomain.com from outside. After that i had setup a second machine in the network and i want to make this one a subdomain of the first one ie second.mydomain.com, this second machine got no external ip. How can i set my first machine to foward all the traffic directed to that domain? Thanks for any help u can give me. Sdav Just recently, I did something similar with two machines hosting a few domains and subdomains. I found the easiest thing to do was to set up squid in 'web accelerator' mode (also known as anti-slashdot mode) on my FreeBSD router, and direct it to forward requests (based on Host header) to the appropriate backend webserver. In your case, one server could be running on an alternate port on the same machine Squid is, or bound to a private IP alias. This is a touch annoying, though, as squid must know about /every/ /single/ subdomain that is hosted, lest it complain that it cannot fulfill the request. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net [EMAIL PROTECTED] Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
HP solved
Thanks to Kris from Tucson Unix Group I solved the HP printer problem. I edited devfs.conf as perm lpt0 0666. When I entered the CUPS manager this time I was offered the choice of the printer on the parallel port(previously only USB and Network). On the next screen I was offered the choice of 20 different drivers. I picked hpjis (the same as HPLIP) and printed the test page. Great fully functional with colors. I also printed ps file from the command line with lp command (previously I removed native lp command from /usr/bin so that CUPS can take over with its own commands). On the more sober note I could not get hp-setup find the printer this time either. I think it is worth playing since this is one of ALL-IN-ONE devices and I read that HPLIP support scan option as well. These kind of parallel port scanners are not detected by Sane.

Re: FreeBSD vs mysql50-server [SOLVED]
Thanks for the replies guys. Turns out that the my.cnf file needed to be in either /db/mysql/ my.cnf (where i am pointing the datadir to) OR /usr/local/etc/my.cnf. I hit a problem when I moved it to either folder though because some of the variables for mysql were out and the default socket/pid-file directory was not created. * mkdir /var/run/mysqld and change owner to mysql (for socket pid- file) * change my.cnf language variable to /usr/local/share/mysql/english (was previously /usr/share/mysql/english and causing mysql to fail to start) * mkdir /etc/mysql/conf.d for additional settings, either that or comment out !includedir line in the my.cnf file, I decided to mkdir for fun times So there we go... only took a few days but nailed it ;) thanks to everyone who provided feedback... i hope this helps others out in the future.

ramdisk on /tmp in jail

I tried using tmpmfs_enable=YES (with tmpsize) in the rc.conf of the jail, but if I do that nothing appears to happen. Doing the same on the host of the server works fine though.

getting fair share of CPU for processes
Hello, I am looking for advice but maybe this question really belongs to spamassassin user list. Anyway, by observing load on my FreeBSD machine I have found that at certain times it gets really high (between 14-17). When I get such load my machine is quite busy sending thousands of emails. This in itself is OK because load is rarely over 1 but then I get a few more incoming emails and spamd, while checking them, bumps up the load to 14 or more. Such increased load usually does not take longer than 1-2 minutes. And I have configured exim to ease up on its work when the load gets so high (first it tempfails incoming messages, then when situation becomes worse it only queues outgoing ones). So I am wondering it it is OK for me to limit the spamd user to how much CPU power it can get? I saw in the Handbook that it is possible to limit resources per user. Do you think it is a good thing to do? Will I be better off limiting spamd user or will it make the situation worse because SA will/may choke? Many thanks for any advice you can give me.

FreeBSD 6.2. Can I get 128x48 (or similar) console screens?
Hi, FreeBSD! I'm a long time GNU/Linux user, and I'm considering changing over to FreeBSD. Why? To escape the upgrade tread-mill. Every time a new Debian release comes out, I say Oh no, not again!, scarcely looking forward to the weeks of pain getting it to work properly. I'm not sure I prefer the alternative, something like Ubuntu or PCLinux, where you just shut your eyes, lie back and think of South Africa, not knowing quite what's getting installed on your PC. And finding the usable nuggets of information in the vast swathes of Linux documentation scattered diffusely over the Internet isn't fun either. Anyway, back to the point! I do most of my work in Linux on virtual console screens, which are set up at 128x48 characters courtesy of the framebuffer thing in the Linux kernel. Previously, I had used SVGATextMode, which did much the same. I just don't much like GUIs, since they are cluttered up with toolbars, dialog boxes, scrollbars, wine bars, start bars, crowbars, , and tend to steal key sequences which I want to belong to applications. I haven't found any like facility in 6.2, so far: I downloaded the documentation last night (the CD image 6.2-RELEASE-i386-docs.iso) and had a general browse through it (the English version). It's nicely written, but I didn't find what I was looking for. Then I grepped through it with find . -name *.txt | xargs grep '[1-9][0-9]*x[1-9][0-9]*' without finding anything helpful. 80x60 isn't enough! Is it possible I've missed something relevant? Or is there some sort of add-on utility which would give me consoles with (approximately) 128x48? My hardware is a desktop PC with a 1.2 GHz Athlon and a Matrox G400 AGP video card.

You can make a cronjob doing uptime /path/to/logfile every minute

Thanks but that wouldn't record the time, would it? With uptime it is nice

Re: getting fair share of CPU for processes
In response to Zbigniew Szalbot [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I am looking for advice but maybe this question really belongs to spamassassin user list. Anyway, by observing load on my FreeBSD machine I have found that at certain times it gets really high (between 14-17). When I get such load my machine is quite busy sending thousands of emails. This in itself is OK because load is rarely over 1 but then I get a few more incoming emails and spamd, while checking them, bumps up the load to 14 or more. Such increased load usually does not take longer than 1-2 minutes. And I have configured exim to ease up on its work when the load gets so high (first it tempfails incoming messages, then when situation becomes worse it only queues outgoing ones). So I am wondering it it is OK for me to limit the spamd user to how much CPU power it can get? I saw in the Handbook that it is possible to limit resources per user. Do you think it is a good thing to do? Will I be better off limiting spamd user or will it make the situation worse because SA will/may choke? Many thanks for any advice you can give me. I really appreciate it! The most typical method of handling this would be nice(1) (see the man page for details). But, depending on your setup, improper use of niced spamassassin processes could make the problem worse. You have a lot of dependencies within the mail flow, and issues such as priority inversion could occur in ways that aren't immediately obvious. Also, I'm not clear as to what problem you're tyring to solve. High load on a busy server certainly isn't a problem, so where is the problem? If your server is consistently overloaded, then the correct solution is to either streamline your configuration so it's less resource intensive, or add hardware. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then you can attach to that screen session from any number of other logins (at the same time even). As a side-effect, screen will protect you from accidental terminal disconnections (if you close your xterm or ssh disconnects on you, screen will detach the session and it will run headless until you reattach to it). The next-best is to use the /usr/sbin/watch command to attach to an existing tty and see its screen output. You'll need to rebuild your kenel and add the snp device (or load it as a module).

Re: getting fair share of CPU for processes
Hi Bill and all, So I am wondering it it is OK for me to limit the spamd user to how much CPU power it can get? I saw in the Handbook that it is possible to limit resources per user. Do you think it is a good thing to do? Will I be better off limiting spamd user or will it make the situation worse because SA will/may choke? Many thanks for any advice you can give me. I really appreciate it! The most typical method of handling this would be nice(1) (see the man page for details). Thanks - I will do some reading. Also, I'm not clear as to what problem you're tyring to solve. High load on a busy server certainly isn't a problem, so where is the problem? The problem that sometimes, though for a very short period of time, the load goes above 14. I should have asked this first. Is this OK? I was probably unnecessarily concerned that the load gets too high. Of course, were it to happen for a prolonged time, I would take steps to improving hardware but as the load peaks are periodic and fairly short I thought I would make it easier for the machine to live :) Judging from your answer I can see I shouldn't worry all that much.

Re: what triggers you have mail (OFFLIST)
Hrm, when you print out your environment variables, what is MAIL or mail ? Do either of those variables exist, and if so what are they set to? And if set, does a file exist at that location? I don't know how to print out environment variables, but echo $MAIL and echo $mail both are empty. I should have mentioned this to begin with, but the actual message I am getting is; you have mail in /usr/david which points to my home directory, which maybe is the result when $MAIL is empty. However, I don't see what specific file in /usr/david that would be triggering the message. I do notice that I am getting incoming mail in /usr/david/tmp which each carry the mutt-??? tag.

I think that should be read as a mnemonic combination of the -d -u -m
and -p options (from 'info cpio'):
`-d, --make-directories'
Create leading directories where needed.
`-u, --unconditional'
Replace all files, without asking whether to replace existing
newer files with older files.
`-m, --preserve-modification-time'
Retain previous file modification times when creating files.
`-p, --pass-through'
Run in copy-pass mode. *Note Copy-pass mode::.
This seems to make sense to me.

I'm guessing your 6-STABLE wasn't synced all that recently. There's a test in the nano makefile that make it use the wide (multi-byte character) version of curses (ie libncursesw) if the 6-stable or 7-current version is sufficiently recent. The fact that an up-to-date compat6x has libncursesw.so.6 tends to confirm this. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

portupgrade 'upgrades' ports that are not installed
Hi First of all i just went through the UPDATING instructions to upgrade my xorg to 7.2. It did not go very well because i can't finish the upgrade process. When i try to pkg_delete xorg-manpages it says they're required by the xorg-6.9 port. Now as far as i can see everything i'm running is in /usr/local and X -version says 7.2 everywhere. But there are still some 6.9 ports left and i can't tell the difference between which ones i can delete and which ones i'm supposed to keep. # pkg_info | grep xorg xorg-6.9.0 X.Org distribution metaport xorg-apps-7.2 X.org apps meta-port xorg-cf-files-1.0.2_2 X.org cf files for use with imake builds xorg-clients-6.9.0_2 X client programs and related files from X.Org xorg-docs-1.3,1 X.org documentation files xorg-documents-6.9.0 Documentation of X11 protocol and libraries from X.Org xorg-drivers-7.2X.org drivers meta-port xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.9.0_1 X.Org 100dpi bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-7.2 X.org fonts meta-port xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.9.0_1 X.Org 75dpi bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-cyrillic-6.9.0_1 X.Org Cyrillic bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-6.9.0_1 X.Org miscellaneous bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-truetype-6.9.0 X.Org TrueType fonts xorg-fonts-type1-6.9.0 X.Org Type1 fonts xorg-fontserver-6.9.0_1 X font server from X.Org xorg-libraries-7.2_2 X.org libraries meta-port xorg-manpages-6.9.0 X.Org library manual pages xorg-nestserver-6.9.0 Nesting X server from X.Org xorg-printserver-6.9.0 X Print server from X.Org xorg-protos-7.2 X.org protos meta-port xorg-server-1.2.0_2,1 X.Org X server and related programs xorg-server-6.9.0_1 X.Org X server and related programs xorg-vfbserver-6.9.0 X virtual framebuffer server from X.Org This is what it looks like after the upgrade. Also i'm not sure where to go for help with portupgrade but here seems like a good place to start. Now after i've run portupgrade -aP for the first time i tried to run it again just to see what it missed because i can't say the process progressed without errors, there were tons of them. Though this time i starts with a port i don't even have installed, gutenprint-base. It does not exist in /var/db/pkg, pkg_info doesn't find it and i can't make deinstall in the ports metadir because it's not installed. Yet portupgrade insists on 'upgrading' it by installing it for me. I'm thinking maybe it's a dependency of some newly upgraded port but i don't know how to make portupgrade show me that information. --- Med vänliga hälsningar Stefan Midjich (nocturnal) ~ http://swehack.se ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Waiting for BIND security announcement
On Aug 1, 2007, at 3:47 PM, Doug Barton wrote: I can't speak for the security team, but I'm pretty sure that this change is forthcoming. As someone has already noted in this thread, the wait is over. When it comes to BIND stuff in particular, I always update the ports first, so anyone with a mission critical DNS operation can get fixes ASAP. There is even an option in the port to overwrite the base BIND if you so desire. Ah-ha. That makes a big difference. OK. If I'm going to expose my name server to the big bad world while tracking RELENG_N_M (release with patches) I'll use bind from ports. In addition to security issues, the ports give you a greater degree of flexibility in how BIND is configured. If you're going to be offering a public name server (and by that I hope you mean authoritative, not recursive) on 6-stable you're probably better off using 9.4.x anyway, with the threading option disabled. Yes, I do mean a (low volume) authoritative name server for a small handful of low traffic vanity domains. My intention is to set it up as a master which will transfer zone information to a professional DNS hosting service (dnspark.net whom I'm very happy with). Currently I have to modify my zone information through DNSPark's web interface (which is very good and seems to allow everything except generate rules). But since I'm masochistic, I figure that I should inflict problems on myself like remembering to update the serial numbers myself. (Big shouting reminder comments at both ends of the zone files seem to do the trick) Also, while I'm extremely happy with dnspark.net, having one instance of the authoritative zone data fully under my control makes me feel better. -j -- Jeffrey Goldberghttp://www.goldmark.org/jeff/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
how sys_select, sys_fork, ... are defined for thread libraries?
