Patrick,
When you update your named.conf file, make sure you run a syntax check
before (re)starting named. Here's how you do it:
named-checkconf /path/to/your/named.conf echo $?
Thanks for the command.
If echo returns zero, then you're good to go. Otherwise, fix whatever
problem is displayed.
In your case, you need to remove one semi-colomn (;) to fix your
problem. Here's what your control statement should look like:
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1;10.202.77.110; }
keys { DHCP_UPDATER; };
};
Ok. I was in the impression that the inet line had to be a seperate line.
Changing it on one line and removing the ; solved it for me.
Thanks
Cheers,
David

using dd to duplicate disks/partitions of slightly different sizes - works?
I've got two 160GB disks. Different manufacturers, so different # bytes. One is FreeBSD, the other blank. I'd like to backup my system for the fastest possible recovery after a crash - move the plug and power up. I have gmirrored before, but I just wanted to do a quick dd, since I don't want to abuse my cheapo powersupply (has 4 disks already on it). Two questions: (1) If I dd from the smaller to the larger, will it work? What happens to the extra, say 5MB of unused space - will my partition info be messed up? (2) If I dd from the larger to the smaller (df reports only 50% used anyway) is there a way to make sure there is no info in the 5MB at the end that will overflow the smaller, and again, will my partitions be ok? The other option is just to fdisk label the other disk, then rsync everything to it. Is that the wiser choice?

System Reboots with Bittorrent Use
Hi! I have had this problem before, so let me narrate the history (quickly). I used to use the rtorrent port. However, when running rtorrent (never any other time) the system would spontaneously reboot. I couldn't figure out what exactly the problem was, but when I switched to deluge (another bittorrent port) the problem seemed to go away. I have since reformatted my computer. I began using deluge again a couple weeks ago, but am again experiencing spontaneous reboots, now when using deluge (I don't have rtorrent installed). I don't get any message in /var/logs/messages (is there a way to make the computer log more? Are there other logs I should check?). In general the file system needs to be cleaned after the reboot. Could this be a driver problem, by any chance? I use Deluge version 0.5.6.2, freeBSD version 6.3 Prerelease. If any more information would help, I'd be happy to provide it.

gmirror array not unmounting at shutdown
I have a mirror with two 500GB SATA drives for storage. The system is on a gmirror of two 18GB SCSIs. the SATA mirror mounts under /u2 and is in fstab. If I reboot, when the machine comes back up I get a notice that /u2 was not unmounted properly. I go into single user, unmount /u2 and do a fsck on /dev/mirror/datas1d. It usually finds some issues and corrects them. Sooner or later it's going to fail at the repair. I thought that by having the array in fstab that the system would take it down properly upon a reboot, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Where can I put a sync ; umount /u2 where it will take place late enough that /u2 actually will unmount? I've looked at rc.shutdown but can't find a place where such a line actually seems to be executed. thx, r ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Linux /proc on FreeBSD
Hey everyone, i am going to port a server that i am currently working on to FreeBSD. I don't have much experience with FreeBSD yet. The only real big thing i have to change is the way some data is fetched. In the Linux version i read in data like the hostname, the domainname, the kernel version etc from /proc. Is there a central point to look for those values in FreeBSD? If not, where do i get those values? I _don't_ want to use external binaries like sysctl etc... Thank you!

Hi!
I do something similar, except with a small home-grown server used to
serve 'You are banned' pages to people who insist on driving my poor
little webserver into swap.
The directive you're looking for is 'fwd'.

setting up slave server with Zoneedit need help
I have a `internal' network visible only internally. Let say: hanhnhu.local.
This is my master for the local zone.
I registered 'vuhanhnhu.com' domain with my registrar and pointed it to
zoneedit nameservers: ns3.zoneedit.com and
ns9.zoneedit.com. I'm using NAT.
So how can I set up slave with zoneedit for vuhanhnhu.com zone?

RE: CD Audio on D975XBX2 mobo

Turns out this one doesn't, it uses digital CD Audio and doesn't use the connector anymore ([1][2]http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-014753. htm ). Are there any options for playing CDs with FBSD on this board? I can rip the disk to MP3, then play that; but are there any ways to just play the disk? As long as you can rip it to mp3, you should be able to play it with e.g. vlc or any other cd player.

I began using deluge again a couple weeks ago, but am again experiencing spontaneous reboots, now when using deluge (I don't have rtorrent installed). I don't get any message in /var/logs/messages (is there a way to make the computer log more? Are there other logs I should check?). In general the file system needs to be cleaned after the reboot. There's a bug in the kernel with 6-STABLE with Bittorrent clients that use multiple threads. This includes the latest deluge and azureus ports. I've filed a PR for this: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=117717 but it's been getting no love from the developers. You could try poking freebsd-stable@ for help. Thanks a lot, that sounds like it could very well be the problem. I don't think it's a physical hardware problem, because I have no problem using bittorrent in Windows, and the behavior went away (previously) when switching from rTorrent to an older version of Deluge. I don't think I have the dmesg from after the crash anymore -- I don't want to replicate it because I'm kind of worried that something will go terribly wrong with the disk... Is there a bittorrent client someone would like to recommend? If you could downgrade to deluge-0.5.5, that was the last one that worked. Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Beer.
