Re: Monitoring CPU temperature: mbmon shows 201 degrees C
Just to summarize (after 5.5 days of uptime), i'd like to recap on what happened next. I burned the SiS 651 based motherboard, while memtesting, and i replaced it with a new Asrock, Intel 82865G based motherboard. All run fine, no panics, no unexpected segfaults. It seems that the old SiS was fine until i fitted the kodicom4400 on the PCI bus, when all the problems started. Now at idle i can get CPU temps as low as 35 deg Celsious, altho it turned out that was not my problem in the first place. Thank you all for your help.

Re: No controller detected when boot FreeBSD 7.0

pf randomly blocks specific packets?
Hello,
I have a FreeBSD 7.0 system with jails (and services in them). In one of the
jails there
is an Apache server, which also runs on the host system (and forwards traffic
using
mod_proxy to the jailed Apache).
Everything works as expected, I only have problems with pf which seems to block
certain
packets randomly (not all of them).
This is how my rc.conf on host system looks like (relevant parts):
-
defaultrouter=172.20.2.1
ifconfig_em0=inet 172.20.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
pf_enable=YES

jail_mail_hostname=mail
jail_mail_ip=192.168.223.10
jail_mail_interface=lo1 netmask 255.255.255.0
jail_mail_devfs_enable=YES
jail_mail_procfs_enable=YES
jail_mail_devfs_ruleset=devfsrules_jail
-
This is how my pf.conf looks like:
-
int_Trust = em0
int_Loop = lo0
int_Jails = lo1
int_jail_mail = { $int_Trust }
addr_net_Private = { 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12, 10.0.0.0/8 }
addr_net_Local = { $int_Trust:network , 172.20.2.0/24, 192.168.0.0/16 }
addr_sysSvarun = a.b.c.d
addr_jail_mail = 192.168.223.10
svc_TCP_HOST_Private = { ssh, iwebmin, itelnet }
svc_TCP_HOST_Public = { ssh, http, https, domain }
svc_UDP_HOST_Public = { domain }
svc_TCP_jail_mail = { smtp, smtps, pop3, pop3s, imap, imaps }

pass out on lo1 from 192.168.223.10 to 192.168.223.10 keep state
-
So as you can see there is a pass quick on $int_Jails all line. Which, as far
as I understand, should do exactly that. But, when I do
tcpdump -n -r /var/log/pflog, I get these:

Guilmette [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: deny any to any in frag Is that actually a Good Thing To Do? Are there really no legitimate packate fragments out there on the Internet? First, on one particular machine of mine, I'm seeing a fair number... many dozens or so per hour... of /var/log/security logfile entries for ipfw-rejected packet fragments. This is on a machine that has a very busy name server. [...] The majority of the rejected frag packets are UDP packets, and I've just now determined that many/most/all of those are coming from actual name servers elsewhere. It's fairly non-trivial to make TCP fragments (TCP tries its best to avoid fragmentation and it splits traffic to 'segments' using its own logic, not how many bytes the user application wrote). So it's normal to see mostly UDP fragments. In short, I do believe that these packet fragments are mostly (or entirely) perfectly legitimate packet fragments... probably partial answers to DNS queries that the nameserver on this machine sent out. DNS will fallback to TCP when UDP fails (i.e. when an answer datagram is too large for UDP to deliver). So I might consider dropping them anyway. So now, given that I understand (or believe I do, anyway) everything that you, Giorgos, said about the possibility of a DoS attack based on packet fragmentation, and given that I _do not_ believe that anybody has it in mind to do a DoS against me at the present time (either using packet fragements or any other sort of DoS technique) is it really wise for me to be dropping all of these DNS response packet fragments? Wouldn't I be better off letting them in? It depends on why/when the fragmentation occured. If a name server is sitting behind a link with a small MTU or a link with a bit of data loss, losing one fragment means that *all* fragments must be transmitted again. In those cases relying on the capability of DNS to fallback on TCP may be a slightly better choice. I'm most particularly concerned about the possibility that... because I have ipfw dropping all fragments... I may be completely losing some DNS responses that I actually do want No that's fine. You may get a delayed response, when DNS decides to switch to TCP, or a timeout if the whole try UDP, fail, try TCP, fail dance takes too long. But in that case plain UDP would have failed anyway, so you are just given an extra chance with TCP queries. OK, one last question. I've just read the helpful little brief tutorial about path MTU discovery... which Google helped me to find: http://www.netheaven.com/pmtu.html This is kinda sorta enlightening about why most of the fragments that my ipfw is currently rejecting are either at offset 1472 or at offset 1480... but not quite. What's the significance of these specific offset numbers (1472 and 1480)? Is there some particular kind of hardware or well-known- phenomenon (like the one described in the document above) that commonly produces fragments with those specific offsets, i.e. 1472 and 1480? The two standard Ethernet encapsulation formats (IEEE 802.2/802.3 vs. RFC 894) specify how data is laid out in an Ethernet 'frame'. The encapsulated data areas in the two frame formats can hold: IEEE 802.2/802.338-1492 bytes of data RFC 894 46-1500 bytes of data The numbers you are seeing are 20 bytes less than the maximum, because they account for the minimum IP header of 20 bytes. With a minimal IP header of 20 bytes, without any IP options, the two Ethernet frame formats can hold 1472 and 1480 bytes of IP-encapsulated data. That's the magic reason for the fragment sizes you see. In reality the full-path MTU may be even smaller for a variety of reasons, but that's another thing :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have several (6) Samsung SyncMaster 941BW monitors I am very Happy with them I'd never purchased any 19 displays. About 5 years back, i was in the market for 3 2- units, and like I usually do with any major $ investments, I investigated the applicable specs, then compared prices underneath that. At that time, the 20 LCDs from Dell were the best buy, purchasing them from Ebay made it also a *very* good deal. The only problem there is, the little group of folks selling those Dell monitors had organized several shell-games on Ebay, running some *very* easy to fall into frauds, so you needed to be really careful. Twice, I ran into the game of getting dome shill to run the price of a monitor I was interested way past what I wanted to pay, then when I let the deal walk away from me, the con-people wrote and tried to convince me that i'd won the Second chance purchase, and that I'd obligated myself to pay the price they'd bid it up to. I complained to Ebay, but (as usual) Ebay was deaf about it. It's easy to avoid this, but you need to be aware of the scam, which is still operating today. How do I know? Because one of those 3 20 displays went bad on me 4 weeks ago, and I replaced it with a 24 model. That new model has automatic PiP, too. I really like the Dell, both because of their outstanding contrast and brightness, no dead pixels in any of my LCDs, and the fact that they come with multiple interfaces which are switch selectable from the front panel. The old 20 units had 4 jacks (RCA, S-Video, VGA, and DVI). Really convenient. The new 24 one, beyond being able to run native 1920X1080 for HiDef Video, it's got about 10 different jacks. Looks it up the web, the Dell pages describe it best, and the contrast on that 24 has to be seen to be believed.

Building modules distributed with Apache, using ports
This may be a daft question. I freely admit it's a lazy one - I'm hoping someone has a quick answer that'll save me a couple of hours building a test server and experimenting. I built apache 2.0 from ports, using WITH_LDAP - but not WITH_LDAP_MODULES, as the Makefile.doc says it's implied by WITH_LDAP. As far as I can tell it's actually the other way round, that WITH_LDAP_MODULES triggers the WITH_LDAP options (either that or I didn't set it properly). Be that as it may, I now have an installation of Apache to which I need to add mod_auth_ldap and mod_ldap from the Apache 2.0 distribution. Is it possible to use the www/apache20 port to build these, or additional modules generally, without rebuilding/reinstalling Apache itself?

Hi guys, Yesterday while updating my ports...I don't use all-ports, i instead choose the ones i use from the ports-supfile, i realized that when i wanted to install portaudit and some other ports management utils, they weren't anymore on sysutils...i looked at MOVED and swa that they are now in ports-mgmtBut i dont have that dir...so i was wondering how can i update this changes on ports tree without using ports-all Is there a way to update de ports-supfile o r something to update and bring the entire ports-mgmt for instance to my ports colection? i assume using cvsup directly i can checkout..but i wanted to check it woith you first..and how can i do this...

formatting the time in tcsh prompt
This might be slightly off-topic, I suppose -- but since (t)csh is the default shell for FreeBSD, I figured this might be a good place to ask. I'm aware of the %T option for showing 24-hour time in my tcsh prompt, but it doesn't do exactly what I would like. Inserting a call to the date command so I can have the exact formatting I want appears to fail by only calculating the time once, and showing the same time every time the prompt appears -- which means that, several hours later, I'm still looking at the time from when the shell instance was started. The prompt setting using the date command that I used is as follows: set prompt = [`date +'%H%M'`] %~%# At nine in the morning, that gives me: [0900] ~ . . . whereas the tcsh native time formatting for 24-hour time is: set prompt = [%T] %~%# At nine in the morning, that gives me: [9:00] ~ I would prefer to not have the colon in there, but it's not a big deal. The biggest annoyance is the fact that the length of the time string changes depending on whether it's an AM time or a PM time. This is the best I've been able to get so far for a timestamp in the prompt that updates every time the prompt is displayed: [9:00] ~ This is acceptable: [09:00] ~ This is most preferred: [0900] ~ There must be some way to do this.

Thanks in advance, Agus Another good advice for everyone not wanting to get the entire ports tree, is to use refuse files. Instead of enabling specific parts of the ports tree in the supfile, a refuse file will allow you to just deny getting specific ports. For example, say you don't want to get any of the language specific ports (arabic, french, japanese...), you put those in the refuse file.

Consider that if bandwidth is expensive then you probably don't want to download data you are not going to use. The ports tree is only a few hundred MB uncompressed (about 50MB or so compressed), and cvsup or portsnap updates are small (you only download the changes). That is presumably the best option. If you want to mirror the full ports CVS repository it is a few GB. If you want to mirror packages, then you're looking at tens of gigabytes that are updated every few days.

pxeboot
Hi,
I am not sure if this is the correct list to post this to, and if it
isn't please could you point me to where it should go.
I have recently turned to freeBSD and so far I love it. I have a small
laptop that I use for playing around and general fiddling. I was using
the Debian netinstall and booting over pxe/tftp when I wanted to
reinstall. I started looking at the automated install, but it seemed
very complex. I have been looking at the freeBSD option and it seems
that the automated intall is very simple (at least from a user point
of view).
I have been trying to get pxeboot to work, so far with no luck. I have
a dhcp/tftp server set up and I am able to push pxeboot across the
network, so I assume that is all ok. NFS is also setup, at least I was
getting nfs errors that I don't have anymore. I copied the contents of
the 7.0 cd into the my tftpboot folder and changed the contents for
loader.conf and loader.rc according to here
http://www.locolomo.org/pub/pxeboot/pxeboot.html and
http://www.tnpi.biz/computing/freebsd/pxe-netboot.shtml and so far I
am able to get a prompt come up but I am unable to get any further. As
soon as I enter anything the computer immediately reboots so i am
unable to see any error messages. I assume the paths are relative to
the tftp server. Can anyone give me quick example to get me off to a
start.
Thanks
David Collins

greetings, i've been running with a freebsd 6.1 system for a few days and i'm having some oddities when trying to build a cross compiler on the system. the first issue that shows is: In file included from archive.c:132: sysdep.h:173:21: libintl.h: No such file or directory this comes from the libintl.h being located in /usr/local/include instead of /usr/include. a simple modification to the CFLAGS as so: export CFLAGS=-I /usr/local/include has resolved binutils building correctly. a build of gcc shows the same issue; however, gcc fails to build with the following error: gcc -c -I /usr/local/include -DIN_GCC -DCROSS_COMPILE -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -pedantic -Wno-long-long-DHAVE_CONFIG_H-I. -I. -I. -I./. -I./../include \ ./config/i386/i386.c -o i386.o ./config/i386/i386.c:1033: error: `ix86_svr3_asm_out_constructor' undeclared here (not in a function) ./config/i386/i386.c:1033: error: initializer element is not constant ./config/i386/i386.c:1033: error: (near initialization for `targetm.asm_out.constructor') ./config/i386/i386.c:1033: error: initializer element is not constant ./config/i386/i386.c:1033: error: (near initialization for `targetm.asm_out') ./config/i386/i386.c:1033: error: initializer element is not constant ./config/i386/i386.c:1033: error: (near initialization for `targetm.sched') ./config/i386/i386.c:1033: error: initializer element is not constant ./config/i386/i386.c:1033: error: (near initialization for `targetm.calls') ./config/i386/i386.c: In function `ix86_file_end': ./config/i386/i386.c:4839: warning: implicit declaration of function `ASM_DECLARE_FUNCTION_NAME' gmake[1]: *** [i386.o] Error 1 both binutils and gcc are being built from the source from ftp.gnu.org following along with http://docs.freebsd.org/info/gcc/gcc.info.Cross-Compiler.html i've not encountered this error before on the various linux systems so i'm assuming it's something that i'm doing with being new to freebsd. i've been able to compile the above code on my ubuntu system without issue as well so i'm fairly certain it's something i'm screwing up on freebsd. bintuils 2.18 config string: ./configure --target=i386v --program-prefix=i386v- --prefix=/usr/local gcc 3.4.4 config string: ./configure --target=i386v --program-prefix=i386v- --prefix=/usr/local --program-suffix= thoughts? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Generally, yes. Contrast ratio in a display is analogous to dynamic range in audio. is the widescreen better than the std? --i think widescreen is 16x9, standard is 4x3. Correct about the aspect ratios. As for better, it depends on whether your graphics card can run at those resolutions. I've changed my mind:: if I go to 20 i can get widescreen with 1680x1050, so my current 1284x1024 would fit. 1280x1024 is actually a 5:4 aspect, but people use it on a 4:3 display. I'm doing that right now :^) But if you send it to a 16:9 display it will probably appear stretched unless you adjust the display so it's effectively not a widescreen display anymore. Every LCD or DLP or plasma display has a native resolution, which is the actual number of pixels in its imaging device. Nowadays they all have internal scan converters so that you could, for instance, send your 1280x1024 to a display of some other native resolution and get a picture, subject to some limits (e.g., I doubt any 1024x768 LCD monitor would display a 3200x2400 signal). But it will always look best at the native resolution anyway, so you're on the right track.

I just wanted to know if FreeBSD is an Operating System engineered based on Components. I appreciate your input on this. Components is a wide, wide term. Since FreeBSD as an operating system consists of separate libraries, headers, executables, and both the kernel and the userland have subsystems that are more-or-less autonomic and independent, you could say it's componentized. You need to be more specific to get a more specific answer. Yeah, that's true, but not very informative. Look, I don't follow OSes all that much anymore, but if I had to call up an OS that would be made up of more of a set of indenpendent pieces, I think I would choose the GNU Hurd OS. From everything I read, it was never very successful, if one counts the ability to return some good throughput as being successful ... or, maybe they have some other characteristic which I'm not aware of. Anyhow, the HURD (at least in concept) is far, far more of a component based OS than anything else I'm aware of is. It's an interesting concept, at the very least, and I do understand it works. There are a bunch of modular microkernel architectures out there. Another that comes immediately to mind is the MIT Exokernel, for instance. Of course, last I checked, nobody was calling them component-based operating systems (especially since, in most cases, they're research kernels with a fine dusting of barely enough stuff to make them run over the top, and not really useful OSes). Microsoft has been using the phrase component based to talk about some of its OS research efforts, but as far as I'm aware MS has abandoned that market-speak. So . . . I still have no idea what the OP means by component-based operating systems. -- Chad Perrin [ content licensed PDL: http://pdl.apotheon.org ] Friedrich Nietzche: Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity.

setting the other end's TCP segment size

Setting the interface MTU should do it, i.e.: ifconfig re0 mtu 640 Not all interfaces support setting the MTU and some may have range restrictions though. In particular, this seems to work with my wlan0 interface, but not with my re0 interface. The wlan0 interface correctly limits the maximum TCP segment size to 500 bytes when I set the MTU: # ifconfig wlan0 | fgrep mtu wlan0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500 # ifconfig wlan0 down; ifconfig wlan0 mtu 50 up Then a tcpdump to save SSH traffic to a particular host, and a dump of the resulting pcap shows: # tcpdump -s 2000 -l -vvv -w save.pcap 'host a.b.c.d port 22' Got 42^C # echo ` tcpdump -n -l -vvv -r save.pcap 2/dev/null | \ sed -e 's/.* length //' -e 's/).*//' ` | fmt 60 60 52 91 52 91 500 500 340 356 52 52 76 204 196 500 260 52 68 52 100 100 116 116 500 132 52 500 84 52 500 196 52 84 116 100 164 436 52 100 132 52 This should work for *both* sides of the connection because of the initial maximum segment size negotiation between the two TCP hosts. See for example the two first packets of the capture I mentioned above, and look for the 'mss' option: 07:38:19.554338 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 44805, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60) 192.168.1.???.53468 X.Y.Z.W.22: S, cksum 0x20d6 (correct), 4195632487:4195632487(0) win 65535 mss 460,nop,wscale 3,sackOK,timestamp 62534308 0 07:38:19.591065 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 54, id 39804, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 60) X.Y.Z.W.22 192.168.1.???.53468: S, cksum 0x7f2f (correct), 901580944:901580944(0) ack 4195632488 win 65535 mss 460,nop,wscale 3,sackOK,timestamp 3188303166 62534308 The MSS advertised is less than 500 to leave some space for the IP and TCP headers, but the full IP datagram _length_ that I displayed in the fmt(1) output above shows that the full MTU is used some times for the IP datagrams sent or received. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I want to use OpenOSPFD to distribute our internal routes and do automatic failover+loadbalance of this two 100Mbit links. This work ? Someone have a similar setup ? Any hints ?
