With some info student it also happen some times in here, and the way i
find is to launch a tcpdum or ethereal on the server and look at which
ip appear the more often
I think ethereal/wireshark is your best bet too. At least with it you
can filter on the userid making an NFS request (it's rpc.auth.uid).
Unfortunately it doesn't look like there's a summary or analysis option
for NFS, so you'll have to count packets maually...
But my problem is the NFS traffic is heavy in standard time, and wireshark
or tcpdump give my lot of lot of data.
Use the force luke
You only need 100 packets (you may decide to increase) that are directed to
your server, to the NFS daemon.
tcpdump -c 100 -nq dst port nfs and dst host $HOST
You don't need to interpret this info, you need to know who is originating the
traffic, lets extract the ip that are originating the traffic
nawk 'BEGIN {FS=[ .]; OFS=.} {print $4,$5,$6,$7}'
But, who generate more traffic?
Lets count how many packets are originating each one of those ip
nawk '{packets[$1]++} END{for (ip in packets){print packets[ip], ip}}'
And order it
sort -rn
Use pipes to connect all the commands, if this situation is very common,
create a shell.

Getting pidgin(1) to run...
Hi there people! I may be posting this question (which is rather lengthy, I know) on the sparc64 mailing list too, as it might be an issue with this architecture. Please don't complain, just answer where you think the answer belongs. I know that running FreeBSD on a Sun is a rather exotic choice but I like FreeBSD and didn't want to install SunOS (Solaris). This is an Ultra 60 with 2GB RAM and two 74GB SCA-HDs, running 6.2-RELEASE-p7). Everything else is NOT an issue as this machine has no monitor, keyboard or mouse but is accessed only over the Network (yes, X and esd too). Since the result has to work with both WinXP and another FreeBSD-box, I am currenty experimenting with Xming. I don't however think that this is relevant, just giving the info in case I missed something. This constellation works fine so far. I can run all of KDE or single apps without KDE (like the konqueror). Even xmms works fine - including sound and the OpenGL visualisation, although that's a little bumpy over the network. :-) Because the binary packages for sparc64 are always out of date, I compiled Pidgin (2.2.0) myself using the ports. Here are the options I used: [X] SILC Secure Internet Live Conferencing support [X] GNUTLS GNUTLS encryption support [X] NSSMozilla NSS encryption support [X] SASL Cyrus SASL support (for jabberd) [X] DBUS Enable DBUS bindings [X] PERL Perl scripting [X] BONJOUREnable mDNS support [ ] SAMETIME Enable Sametime client support [ ] TCLTK Tcl/Tk scripting [X] GTKSPELL Spell checking support [X] GSTREAMER Use GStreamer for playing sounds [X] CAPEnable Contact Availability Prediction plugin After a while [ a few hours :-) ] the computer was done. Starting Pidgin from KDE resulted in it being shown in the task bar at the bottom for about 20 seconds and after that it just disappears. It could however still be found with ps ax. Pidgin does *not* minimize itself into the tray. It just disappears. So I decided to start it from the console. It started and kept running, just no window on the server ever appeared for it. ctrl-c did terminate it. Note that in this case I didn't start KDE or any other X application for that matter. I just started Pidgin and had Xming listening on another computer. Since that didn't get me anywhere, I started Pidgin with the -d option. The last three lines you get to see are these (I cut out the time): nat-pmp: found a default gateway nat-pmp: Attempting to retrieve the public ip address for the NAT device at: 192.168.x.x nat-pmp: Timeout: 0s 25us Pidgin can still be terminated using ctrl-c. Since I didn't want to bombard the list with the log, I put it here: http://dresden.icerats.de/specials/pidgin-debug.txt I inserted the line after the ctrl-c. My router is an AVM Fritz! Box Fon 5012. I have not opened any ports for any IM (yet) - at least not for this machine. Because of the last message I see when starting it with -d, I guess that it could be a router problem - I consider UPnP to be evil and therefore it is off. A friend of mine however also uses Pidgin (under Windows) behind a similar router without any problems. nat-pmp could be the problem, as I am not aware of anyone other than Apple having a working implementation of this. So I used kdump(1) to find out what is going on. I don't want to post the whole file here (it is rather long).

If you didn't define the variable PACKAGES in your environment while
compiling, then they are in the directory of the port itself, where you typed

Just use fdisk and bsdlabel to write the boot blocks. As long as the kernel has all needed drivers and you specify which root device to use (either via kernel configuration or /etc/fstab), that should allow you to put everything else on the RAID array. This is how I currently do full-disk encryption on my laptop using GELI. Kernel is outside, everything else is encrypted, same idea for RAID. Hi Maxim This sounds good.

The OS and ports can be downloaded from the internet. No point in keeping them secret. They might in fact facilitate a known-plaintext attack. I agree, I did it more as an exercise to learn more about the way FreeBSD works. On my laptop I have only the /home partition encrypted. To answer the original question, however, I always install FreeBSD via a stage install. By that I mean that I don't actually use sysinstall for the final system. I get a USB drive and install the base OS onto that. Then I download the source for whichever FreeBSD version I want; my laptop is running CURRENT, for example. Configure make.conf and src.conf files, create a custom kernel, then make buildworld buildkernel in /usr/src. While the system is building I prepare the actual drive, or RAID array, that the final OS will be installed to. Create your software RAID volumes, partition (slice) everything, if I want to use geli for encryption then I would overwrite the target partition with random data before doing geli init. For my full-disk encryption I actually overwrote the entire disk and skipped slicing altogether. The kernel was later installed to a usb flash drive and the entire disk was used for FreeBSD. So instead of specifying things like ad0s1a in fstab, I simply used ad0a - no slices. The point is that unless someone actually knew that I had FreeBSD installed there, without the flash drive all the data on the disk looks like garbage. There isn't even a mbr to indicate partition types. At any rate, it was a fun experiment. So once the drives are configured, mount everything under /mnt and wait for the source to finish building. After than, you can do `make DESTDIR=/mnt installworld` and just like that, your new system is ready. Well, not quite... Run `mergemaster -iD /mnt` to copy all configuration files, installkernel with KODIR=/mnt/boot/kernel to install the kernel, use fdisk or boot0cfg to install mbr code, and finally 'bsdlabel -B ...' for the other boot stages. Installing the system this way also allows you to configure some things before that first boot. Technically, you can do the same thing from single-user mode, but this way may be more convenient. When you're ready, reboot, change the boot order in BIOS, if you configured everything correctly your new system should boot up with no problems. - Max ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just been wondering about this. If you do a standard install of FreeBSD it includes things such as a basic FTP daemon, all the various utilities such as df, ls, etc. SSHD etc. I assum these are all in FreeBSDs core, as developed in the same CVS repo. Having read the mails on this list for several weeks it seems obvious that most people regard Postfix or EXIM to be the best MTAs, Wrong. Most people who have POSTED consider Postfix/Exim better than sendmail. This is not at all any kind of scientific or accurate poll. You might consider also that Postfix is under the IBM license which has an advertising clause that is incompatible with the Berkeley/ FreeBSD license that FreeBSD is under - and EXIM is under the GPL which is utterly and totally incompatible with the FreeBSD/Berkeley license and would probably cause problems for commercial users of FreeBSD.

RE: Netatalk
Gabriel, Ignore Martin he doesen't know how to get it running so he's pulling the old spurning what he cannot do refer to the Aesop fable Fox and the Grapes for more information. If you run OS9 emulation under OSX you need AFP. Many older print servers only speak AFP AFP handles the split resource/data fork properly, Samba does not. You will see this in a number of minor ways. To get it running: define NETATALK in kernel and recompile cd /usr/ports/net/netatalk make WITH_SRVLOC=yes install add the following in /etc/rc.conf: slpd_enable=YES netatalk_enable=YES atalkd_enable=YES cnid_metad_enable=YES afpd_enable=YES cd /usr/ports/net/howl make install cd /etc vi rc.conf add in mdnsresponder_enable=YES mdnsresponder_flags=-f /usr/local/etc/mDNSResponder.conf then create the config file as such vi /usr/local/etc/mDNSResponder.conf BigMac _afpovertcp._tcp local. 548 BigMac _ssh._tcpServers. 548 MUST BE TABS BETWEEN ITEMS and NEWLINE AT END! BigMac is your servername test with slptool findsrvs service:service-agent and mDNSResponder lookups your problem is that afpd only advertises over appletalk, not over tcp/ip. Since your Macs are all OSX they don't listen to appletalk announcements. They listen to appletalk-over-tcp/ip announcements which use the rendezevous protocol which is what mdnsresponder is all about. One important note - try to keep the samba shares separate from the appletalk shares. Samba clients do not update the desktop file when they move/change/delete files which will result in a corrupted desktop file. (ie: CNID database) If that happens do this: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/netatalk.sh stop cat /usr/local/etc/AppleVolumes.default (shares are listed at the bottom) go to each share with the problem and rename the directory, ie: cd /home/shares/Public mv .AppleDB .AppleDB-temp-backup restart netatalk /usr/local/etc/rc.d/netatalk.sh start verify people can mount the shares and get to their files Delete the .AppleDB-temp-backup dirs. Ted PS: Appletalk is older networking technology but there is nothing wrong with it and it works no worse than newer technologies. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gabriel Dragffy Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2007 9:42 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Netatalk On 23 Sep 2007, at 16:13, Martin Hepworth wrote: Why you need netatalk - you still got some old MacOS 8/9 machines about? -- no, they are all os x macbook pros. However we sometimes access over the internet using AFP, and this uses encrypted passwords which is safer. Also, afp integrates very well with the mac machines, better than samba and far better than NFS. I've been using FreeNAS which has worked well, but unfortunately freezes every few hours, so it's useless.

I have a russian friend, he's a sysadmin, works exclusively with FreeBSD. He reckon Postfix is also great under pressure. Since sendmail is in the core of FreeBSD, does that mean it will quickly get security updates when exploits are found? No, we FreeBSD admins like to run insecure servers.NOT! Really now, this is starting to get into trolling. If you took a moment to read the FreeBSD website you would have your answer.
