Re: Using OpenSSL from ports

Other than the fact that the port version is slightly newer, is there any other major difference? For RELENG_6 and earlier, you will need the ports version of openssl in order to use rsa-sha256. Some ported software needs that (eg. mail/dkim-milter). Otherwise there isn't any great advantage either way. RELENG_7 and above are close to up-to-date already (version 0.9.8e rather than 0.9.8f) and support all the latest ciphers.

Via C7 Processor (CPU) - cpufreq and make.conf support
Hi all, I have a few questions about my Via C7 processor. In examples/make.conf there is an option for the CPUTYPE. It indicates that only the C3 and the C3-2 chips are supported. Does the C7 chip have support that I don't know of? If not, will it? Otherwise, will specifying the chipset as C3 help or hinder my environment? My second question is in regards to the CPU frequency control. I've seen that the C7 gets support for cpufreq in 7 current, but I'm running 6. Without support in cpufreq, what speed would my processor be running at? I've always thought my performance has been lackluster so I suspect it's running at the lower clock speed. Thanks for any help any of you can give me, Ross -- sig ho! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: user ppp and PPPoE bridging
To answer my own question: I had the mux type set wrong -- VC-based instead of LLC-based. While the line comes up, the session is never opened because of the mux mismatch. moving right along now... Gary The freebsd box is connected directly via ed1 to the dsl modem; a crossover cable is used; the packets are clearly reaching the modem, as it records them as received. I've simplified ppp.conf to the following, essentially the ppp.conf.sample: default: set log all -timer blackfoot: set device PPPoE:ed1 enable lqr echo set cd 5 set redial 0 0 set dial set login set authname set authkey add! default HISADDR #ifconfig ed1 ed1: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::220:18ff:fe72:8b72%ed1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 ether 00:20:18:72:8b:72 #tcpdump -efntl -i ed1 tcpdump: WARNING: ed1: no IPv4 address assigned tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on ed1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 00:20:18:72:8b:72 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype PPPoE D (0x8863), length 32: PPPoE PADI [Host-Uniq 0x402DA4C1] [Service-Name] 00:20:18:72:8b:72 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype PPPoE D (0x8863), length 32: PPPoE PADI [Host-Uniq 0x402DA4C1] [Service-Name] It appears that no PADO reply is being received by the modem; the modem shows two packets being transmitted, but non being received. Since the line is marked as up by the modem, and since the line comes up properly when the modem is operating in full PPPoE mode, I'm puzzled as to what kind of mismatch could be preventing the ISP end from responding. This is a zyxel 642r modem; I can't try my other modem, a cisco 678, because it doesn't support a vci 63. The modem is set to use VC-based multiplexing, vpi=0, vci=100 These are the parameters used for PPPoE, and I presume are still required as part of the ATM layer when bridging. I am assuming there should be no need for my ISP to be notified that I am trying to use bridging in the modem, since it should be transparent on their end. They claim not to support bridging, but I don't see how they can say that, other than that they don't want to deal with the support issues. Is this a reasonable assumption?

ed1 interface sometimes not recognized
Can anyone offer suggestions as to why an ed1 interface is not always recognized when booting? This is on 6.1 on an old P200 system. ed1 is the second nic, ep0 is the first; ep0 is always recognized. Rebooting usually solves the problem. I'm also puzzled as to why it's ed1 and not ed0. As nearly as I can tell it's on its own irq (5).

Re: XScreenSaver
Hi I've determined it's a combination of mplayer and xscreensaver that causes the problem. One of the flags I use for mplayer is the -stop-xscreensaver option. Now this works fine, with the video not being interrupted by xscreensaver, and after the video the xscreensaver timer starts again and will launch in its normal period. The problem lies with the DPMS stuff...after using mplayer -stop-xscreensaver, although the screensaver comes on, it never blanks or suspends. I've bound a shortcut in my Fluxbox window manager to xscreensaver-command -restart and if I hit this, when xscreensaver comes on it does suspend and everything as meant to... Any ideas?

You are passing %d to scanf() so it expects to find enough 'storage'
in its pointer argument for an 'int'. If 'short' happens to have a
smaller size (as is commonly the case), scanf() will overwrite random
memory locations after 'nnote'. On systems where 'nnote' is stored in
the stack (because it's an automatic/local variable of main()), you are
risking stack corruption (and a SEGFAULT *may* happen).
It's also a very good idea to check the return code of scanf():
int nnote;

}
switch (nnote)

There's no `int' argument to the printf() call of the default clause.
This will either cause printf() to print random garbage, or try to
access memory regions which are unmapped and SEGFAULT.
P.S.:
I found that declaring nnote as int soleves my problem, but I couldn?t
understand why.
Another one was the result of default: nnote was -1077942208 instead
of 9 for example.
It was never assigned to 9 :)

Yes, you must configure them to use different port numbers, because the SysV IPC IDs are derived from the port number. If you try to run both servers with the default port, you'll get a conflict. Configure different port numbers, and it will work. Thanks for that hint. After changing the port numbers for each instance to a different one, it works - but only at first glance. After making some test creates and inserts to all servers at the same time I receive the 'out of memory' messages again... Different UIDs, different ports, same error. By the way, the PostgreSQL developers do _not_ recommend to run multiple servers on the same machine, because of bad efficiency. It is much better (performance-wise) to run all databases within the same server engine. PostgreSQL has all the authentication and permission features you need to separate multiple databases within a single server, so there is really no need to use multiple jails. Of course I understand that. But I would like to setup a test server in a different jail beside my production jail/pgsql-server to be sure not to crash my production server. Performance does not matter (at this time in this specific case of course!). I have these on a machine with a single PostgreSQL server, as per recommendations of the developers: options SHMMAXPGS=65536 options SEMMAP=1024 options SEMMNI=64 options SEMMNS=1024 options SEMUME=64 options SEMMNU=128 Is this a good recommendation for a machine with only 1GB of RAM? -- Oliver PETER, eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED], ICQ# 113969174 Worker bees can leave.

Re: the right next step?
Hi John! Does your PR include a fix? Well, I've sent my suggestion to the maintainer -- I don't know if it's the *right* fix for the general port. But, it works for me as a workaround. For what it's worth, in this particular case, I've simply asked that the www/apache22 port be made compatible with (aware of?) the now standard, port-installed Berkeley DB version 4.6. If it does, make some noise about it on the freebsd-ports mailing list and include the PR number and the fact that you've not heard back from the maintainer. Ok, Thanks. If it doesn't, you might still want to bring it up on -ports, but getting it fixed depends on someone volunteering to take ownership of the problem (if not outright maintainership of the port). Well, I guess I'll just have to see. Seems to me that apache22 + bdb46, both being in the ports tree and both being rather 'popular', that *someone* else would be interested as well.

Re: the right next step?
Hi Bill! Note also that a ports freeze is starting soon for 7.0 and 6.3 release. During the freeze, you'll have difficulty getting any ports changes through. That's what I figured -- and why I've been trying to communicate about this for ~ a month already. It's not really that *I* have an issue with a workaound -- *that* I can always do locally. But I've recommended FreeBSD ports be used out of the box for installs around here. I can understand non-functional / troublesome ports for some obscure packages, but a working apache22 + bdb46 combo seemed a rather basic and not-unreasonable expectation.

Re: easiest way to install CPAN on FreeBSD
Hi everybody! I'm not a very heavy perl user, but I've never *needed* to install CPAN on FreeBSD. A little creative searching has revealed that most perl packages are part of the FreeBSD Ports collection. If you use more obscure CPAN packages, I can see there might be a need to install CPAN, but try ports first. I'll just add my 2-cents. I've had repeated 'issues' with port-installed BSDPAN perl modules. Those have been the usual: lagging versions, source bugs, dependency conflicts with modules installed that are unavailable of problematic via BSDPAN, etc etc. I've found, in those cases, that communicating with the Port-maintainer has not always been 'fruitful', and, communicating with the perl mod author usually results in that's a freebsd port problem. So, I currently use the Perl 588 *port*. Then I install CPANPLUS and remove all traces of BSDPAN-installed modules, replacing them with CPANPLUS-installed modules. A little bit of work, but, once done, I've had very few problems, and *much* better responsiveness from perl module authors in actually fixing problems. And, the folks on the perl lists/channels are much more willing/able to answer/solve problems. Also, around here, I've got many different platforms to deal with. Perl+CPANPLUS is platform agnostic -- it looks-n-feels the same. Just easier for my brain to grok than yet-another way -- ala BSDPAN. Like I said, just my 2-cents. HTH!

First, is there a strong reason that you must change the partition sizes? Could you not instead just move some directories and make soft links (Symbolic Links) from the old location to the new? This can solve most issues with much less hassle. Second, are you for sure meaning partition and not slice in FreeBSD terms? If you mean slices, then there is no reasonable way other than to back things up - using dump - and rebuild things and then restore data. If you mean FreeBSD partitions, then it is possible you could use a utility called growfs. But, it requires adjacent space to grow in to. You would have to free space in the partition that is next higher in address space. That would mean also backing that partition up and blowing it away, growing the lower partition and creating the higher one anew.Given all that trouble - and room for error, it might be easier just to back up each partition/file system with a reliable dump (check it before nuking things) and then rebuilding the file systems from scratch using the fixit CD and then restoring each file system. If you are referring to FreeBSD partitions (and not MS partitions which FreeBSD calls slices), then after making dumps of each file system (except /tmp - don't bother with it) you boot the install CD, select the fixit shell, use disklabel to remake partitions and newfs to build the file systems. Make temporary mount pointss (which really exist in a memory file system, but you don't care about that) in the fixit's root and then cd in to each and restore the appropriate dump in to it with a 'restore -rf ' Since you would, in this case be restoring a root that you were already using, if you do not change the number and names of partitions/file systems - just sizes, such things as /etc/fstab and rc.conf, etc would already be there and set up as you need them, so just reboot when all the restores are done. If you change any of the partitions so that mount information needs to be redone, then you will want to go to that /etc/fstab in the temporarily mounted restored root file system and modify it to suit the new situation. Then reboot. I think that if moving a directory and creating a symlink, as in my first comment above, will not do the trick for you, then doing the complete dump and rebuild of partitions/file systems is a better bet that growfs. Growfs is really more suitable for those situations where a person left a large glob of space un the slice unallocated in any partition, thinking another use was to be put to it later but now wants to incorporate that glob in to the partition next to it. It is not really designed for moving stuff around in the middle of things. But you can try it. Third, Anyway, don't try using LINUX tools to manipulate the FreeBSD partitions. There is too much difference. jerry -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] John W. Russell: People point. Sometimes that's just easier. They also use words.

My own fault for *making* the recommendation, I know. I am not sure I understand all of what is being said or implied here. Ports is the recommended way of doing installs of third party stuff. It also sounds like there is some misunderstanding on the term ports freeze. What happens is that for a period before a new release comes out, all ports and other things are 'frozen' so that everything can be built and tested against the version of things about to be released. If changes keep being applied during that time, then there would never be a verifiable release that things could be built against. As soon as the tests pass and the version is released, and some housekeeping taken care of, the ports and the rest of things will be unfrozen and changes again begun to be applied.

Re: Booting a GELI encrypted hard disk
On 10/23/07, Steve Bertrand [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am voraciously attempting to get a FreeBSD system to boot from a GELI encrypted hard disk, but am having problems. You don't need to encrypt the whole harddisk. You can encrypt separate slices. There is no need to encrypt stuff like / or /usr; what is there that needs to be kept secret? Maybe not encryption, but integrity protection is very important for laptops. GELI supports integrity protection for a while now. If you don't protect integrity of your entire laptop disk, it is trivial to trojan userland utilities and/or kernel and steal your password. If someone needs your data, he can dump encrypted partition, trojan your system and once you connect to the internet and attach your encrypted partition, the trojan will send the password to the attacker. Many people often leave their laptops in hotels rooms, for example. I don't quite grasp in what level you are using the term 'integrity' here. My knowledge of encryption at the storage level is limited at best... I'm just finding out all the finer points (temp directories, swap etc). However, I'll throw out what I wanted, what I have and then a question: Want: - a FreeBSD system that runs from a fully encrypted disk with passphrase and an encryption key on a removable thumb disk that can be removed so that upon reboot, can not be started Have: - a FreeBSD system that runs from a fully encrypted disk with NO passphrase (due to known, seemingly unsolved keyboard interaction problems) that boots from a thumb drive that has an encryption key so that when rebooted, does not boot (thumb drive can be removed once boot procedure complete)) Question: - if the disk (PC) is stolen, having the entire disk encrypted so no one can even tell what OS is on it, does it make it secure to the point that no one will know what to look for anyway (eg: what is in /usr)? If someone does not know the OS, then it makes it more difficult to know what string or text attacks to perform, right? (I'm not trying to start a security via obscurity/bikeshed war, I seriously wouldn't mind opinion). I think it's fantastic. I'm not a disk forensic specialist, but it's good enough for what I want. Again...thanks to everyone who worked on the GEOM infrastructure. Performance is adequate in my benches so far for what I need, so long as one has adequate memory as to not have to run a disk-based swap space. Steve Even if all data on a drive is encrypted, the partition table is not. Software based disk encryption works on partitions. How far into the boot sequence do you get before your system crashes without the key present? I would assume as far as reading the / partition to get the kernel etc... It would have read the partition table and the boot loader, known which partition was the active partition and tried booting it. Now, to identify what OS this disk has on it you can check the partition table and see what type has been set for each slice/partition. You will be able to see that there is a BSD style slice on the disk just by running `fdisk /dev/mystolendiskdevice` You now know it's a BSD OS, you could then make a guess as to what version of BSD by the type of machine it was taken from, based on what hardware is supported by each BSD. I believe their slices and layout are identical but the file systems differ. The person with your disk could then start trying to determine what kind of disk encryption is in place. So, a disk drive (I believe Seagate ship them now) that has an encryption chip built in to do hardware encryption regardless of software in use would be an excellent measure.

As I already stated, if I do a host 172.30.x.x, I get a the correct

reverse resolution in certain command outputs, etc.
Note that the DNS tools (host, nslookup, dig) use their
own resolver code, not the one from FreeBSD's libc, like
all other tools. That might explain the difference.
Make sure that you have configured /etc/nsswitch.conf
and /etc/resolv.conf correctly. Also note that /etc/hosts
overrides DNS by default.
You can use tcpdump to check if a reverse lookup request
is sent to the DNS server when the failure occurs, and
what the reply looks like. E.g. let this command run in
one terminal:
# tcpdump -i tun0 -s 1500 -l -n -vvv udp port domain
Add an -i option to specify the interface to listen on,
if you have multiple interfaces (e.g. -i fxp0).
Then run the command (w, irc client, whatever) in another
terminal and watch the tcpdump output. Oh by the way,
I think the addresses in IRC are resolved by the servers,
not by the clients, so you would have to run the tcpdump
command on the IRC server (if it's an internal one to
which you can login and have root access).

I just thought I'd try and see if I could stay on stable first. My second question is in regards to the CPU frequency control. I've seen that the C7 gets support for cpufreq in 7 current, but I'm running 6. Without support in cpufreq, what speed would my processor be running at? I've always thought my performance has been lackluster so I suspect it's running at the lower clock speed. If cpufreq/powerd is not active, your processor is running full-speed. You can check this with sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq if it's available on your system. sounds reasonable. unfortunetly, 'sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq' doesn't seem to work on my system. heh, it'd probably work if I upgrade to 7.0 Apparently I'm an idiot. the sysctl command does work. when the system is mostly idle, It outputs '198' and when I put a high cpu load on it, it outputs '397'. I'm not exactly sure what this means as I'm hoping it doesn't refer to the MHz. It's a 1.2GHz processor.

It's not explicitly mentioned in the hardware notes so I'm not sure if my processor is actually supported in 6.2. Is it possible that I've been shipped the wrong processor? If so, how would I be able to tell short of ripping off the giant heatsink and looking? Have a look at the dmesg output with 'dmesg |head -n 24'. There should be some info about the CPU in there. Post those lines here. Lines from dmesg: Timecounter i8254 frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 CPU: VIA C7 Esther+RNG+AES+AES-CTR+SHA1+SHA256+RSA (399.40-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = CentaurHauls Id = 0x6a9 Stepping = 9 Features=0xa7c9bbffFPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,CMOV,PAT,CLFLUSH,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,TM,PBE Features2=0x181SSE3,EST,TM2 It clearly indicates that it's a 400MHz processor, but the timecounter makes me think it' the 1.2 GHz it's supposed to be. The 'i8254' timecounter is completely independent of the CPU, and the 'Hz' value associated with it has nothing to do with the clock frequency of the CPU. And have a look at the bios. It could have some settings to regulate the CPU speed. The BIOS didn't seem to have anything to adjust the CPU speed, but while booting I did notice that it declared itself as a via C7 400MHz processor. It sounds like the CPU actually is running at 400MHz then. Either that or both the BIOS and FreeBSD misidentifes the CPU speed. It could be that the BIOS do not set up the processor correctly. Are you sure there are no BIOS settings related to the CPU speed? Have you tried updating the BIOS? -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Re: the right next step?
Hi Jerry! I am not sure I understand all of what is being said or implied here. Hm. Now *I'm* confused by your confusion ;-) Let me summarize -- The www/apache22 port ignores (or more correctly, is not yet aware of ...) a port-installed bdb46. unlike most other ports that are up-to-date, it ignores 'knobs' and make.conf settings. I've asked the list, I've asked the maintainer privately and via a PR, I've submitted a proposed solution to the maintainer, and I've filed a PR a follow-up to the PR. In ~ a month, there's been no response/action whatsoever from the maintainer. Which is ok. I was just asking where to complain next. It was suggested, here, that freebsd-ports list is the my next step. Which is where you'll next hear from me on this :-) HTH Thanks a lot!

Re: [freebsd-questions] easiest way to install CPAN on FreeBSD
Hi Howie, What does CPANPLUS do that CPAN doesn't that makes this a better solution? Does it somehow integrate with the ports better? (rather than getting conflicts between p5-* and bsdpan-*) I use quite a lot of CPAN modules, so a way to be able to get 'obscure' modules, and still use portupgrade effectively would be good :-) It's been made pretty clear to me by a number of folks that p5* ports have no responsibility for keeping track of dependencies/conflicts/whatever with NON p5*- installed modules. I'm sure there are a lot of really experienced folks around here who have NO problems with p5*-based systems. For me, though, I can only say that I never quite figured out how to make those annoying, not-infrequent conflicts go away -- EXECPT to move to a vanilla CPAN/CPANPLUS (doesn't much matter, actually -- *these* two *do* play nice together) system. Once I removed/replaced all the FreeBSD BSDPAN- p5- installed modules, all my conflicts have gone away. As they say, YMMV. HTH!

But, as I pointed out, things are in a ports freeze right now and that means those people are quite busy getting things tested for a release and might not have time for improving features. As for ignoring make and build settings, that should probably be put in a PR (bug report). If it is a serious bug, then it might get addressed before the release. Otherwise it won't get touched until after. jerry HTH Thanks a lot!

If it is a serious bug, then it might get addressed before the release. Otherwise it won't get touched until after. I guess my OP wasn't really clear enough.

Win4BSD is not all that stable and the support is rather lacking. You

besides it doesn't work on amd64

Though you might get some strange situations depending on the guest OS and emulated machine. For example when emulating a x86_64 running XP pro as the Guest OS I can ping/telnet the host OS but I can't see it's Samba server even though every other machine on the subnet can see it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
