It seems that I was, indeed using the wrong server to connect me to : 
the "normal" IPv6 instead of the ipv6-servers (the ping6 works). So now all 
seems ok.
Didn't know about those IPv6 capable application port on Freshports though. 
Will definitely check those, thanks for the link and your explications !

Hi all,

I am preparing to upgrade all servers from FBSD 6.2 to 6.3 in preperation

One thing I have always found a little confusing is what tag to specify in

If a machine is running 6.2, and I want to upgrade to the latest production
release, would I use:

RELENG_6_3 ?


RELENG_6



No.  RELENG_6 will give you 6-STABLE.  The OP was quite correct:
RELENG_6_3 will get 6.3-RELEASE-pX which is currently the latest
production release from the 6.x series.  Eventually there will be
a RELENG_6_4 tag, but it hasn't been laid down quite yet.  That
usually happens around when [EMAIL PROTECTED] switches from 6.4-BETA to 6.4-RC
which will probably be fairly soon.


Also, What do you all think about jumping from 6.4 straight to 7.1 when its
released (cvsup method)?


If the OPs final aim is to track 7.1, then:

  * upgrading 6.2 -> 6.3 -> 6.4 doesn't really get you anything
except a whole heap of wasted time -- unless you want practice
at running 'make buildworld' and so forth?

  * Upgrading from 6.2 -> 7.0 directly works just fine.  I expect
6.2 -> 7.1 would probably work too.

  * It's the 6 -> 7 jump which is the big deal in terms of what you
have to do while upgrading.  Rebuilding all of your installed ports
will take a significant amount of time, and you're going to have
to take the server out of action at least some of that time.

Alternatively, if the aim at the moment is to track 6.4, then upgrading
6.2 -> 6.4 in one step will get you there pretty simply.  Just wait a
few weeks until 6.4 is out.


Hmm In such cases, it will depend on what the server is running.
I'd prefer a fresh install and migrate services by hand. However,
upgrade from 6.4 -> 7.x should be doable.


Oh, it depends on how conservative you want to be.  If you must always 
absolutely definitely have a fast back-out path in case of things going 
horribly wrong, then the thing to do is either install a new HDD and set up 
the target version of the OS on that, or split up a RAID1 mirror, update 
one half of the mirror and then resynch in the appropriate direction once 
your testing shows the update to have succeeded or not.


Of course, those are more expensive and time consuming procedures than
are usually justifiable. For general purpose use, the upgrade procedures 
described in /usr/src/UPDATING, the handbook, Colin Percival's 
daemonology.org blog and RSE's web pages at freebsd.org will basically 
work.



Anyway, see this: http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/upgrade/

It's some authoritative source for upgrades.


While RSE's account is factual and accurate and well worth the time

Thank you, Matthew, for the time you've taken to clarify all the issues raised.
I've been living in Windoze world for some good number of days so it
also helps jog my memory/understanding of things in this 'world' of
FreeBSD:-)

Mono + .NET = ?

[Gintautas Simkus]

Hey,

here's the situation. I am going to be part of a team which develops some
application with C#. I am pretty sure all but me will be using .NET
framework under Windows. I want to stick with Unix on the other hand. I came
across this projects called Mono which provides .NET compatible framework
for Unix operating systems. From little reading I've got an impression that
C# is 'fully' implemented in Mono and that's all I am interested in. So I
would guess the answer to the  question that follows is 'yes', but I want to
be sure:

Will there be no problems running the application on .NET platform if some
of the classes are compiled with open source C# compiler (MCS) which comes
with Mono while the rest with the Window's equavalent C# compiler?

It would be especially nice to hear from someone who'd gone through a
similar process already.

looking for a disk partition ("slice") editor

[Scott Bennett]

 I would like to find a disk partition ("slice" in FreeBSD nomenclature)
editor that runs under FreeBSD that is able to deal properly with logical
partition entries chained from an extended partition entry in the Master Boot
Record.  fdisk(8) appears to be too primitive to understand logical partitions.
 Until now I have gotten by with a stand-alone partition editor, but I now
need to be able to do such operations without shutting down my FreeBSD system
to do them.  If anyone knows of such a utiility for use in FreeBSD, please
let me know.  (Please Cc: me on any replies, too.)
 Thanks much!

thanks but this wasn't exactly what i was asking about
in the original post.
ardour *is* in ports, as with most other good open-source
audio applications
( and propbably the best program out there - though i'm
new) but what i was
looking for is related to custom/optimizted kernels either
known as
low-latency or real-time kernels in linux; to help reduce
recording
latencies, audio dropouts, etc. like studio 64 rt-kernel on
ubuntu, planet
ccrma on fedora.

what i was trying to find out is whether there is such
projects on freebsd,
or more importantly, if freebsd kernel had the potential to
be similarly
optimized. (not that i myself have any expertise, [hence my
question])

on the other hand, if you are interested in audio programs,
ardour is good,
hydrogen is good and fun. not to mention easy.



i have experienced a delay when i was recording voice and sort of laying it on 
a track. but removing a few miliseconds off the beginning didnt make a big 
trouble for me and thats when i have discovered this phenomenom but thought it 
was rather because my sound card is old. is this any close to something that 
you mean?
  
it is related, but what you mentiioned is a slightly different area in 
computer audio than what i mean with respect  to kernels.


An old card is likely to produce greater delays under any setup, but 
that is more a factor of its capabilities and quality of its parts than 
just purely because it is old.  If you were using JACK (linux) or ASIO 
(windows) the delay could be minimized to some extent, but no miracles 
there, and that is about the most you can do.


i'm only at entry level on audio engineering, but in a nutshell here is 
an overview to explain your delay, (latency) and my kernel related question.


first of all, computers are always prone to latencies, or delays, 
because of the time it takes the cpu to process  the audio data, 
read/write from disks, convert between audio signals and digital data, 
etc, etc. All take up cycles and valuable milliseconds.


when playing normal music like mp3s in itunes and such, you wouldn't 
notice any delay because the data is simply read from disk and output 
thru speackers as they come, though technically there would be a short 
period between the time the data was read off disk and then heard out 
the speakers. in audio production that slight delay, or latency, is 
everything, especially when you have multi-track recording and syncing 
with external gear. (latencies range from under 10ms to over 100ms)


Latency would be more noticeable, say when recording, and would sound 
like an echo if you were talking into a mic and listening thru 
headphones or speakers, on an average setup at least. roughly becase of 
the time needed to process the signal.


Also, If you were to use a midi controller/keyboard connected via midi 
to play a software instrument, you would notice a delay between the time 
you hit a key on the keyboard and when you actually heard the sound. The 
key press transmittes midi data to the software instrument, the software 
triggers the desired sound immediately, but there is that slight delay 
to create the sound and push it out the speakers.


Audio interfaces can have a latency around 5ms, which is very good,  yet 
may still be faintly noticable, and that also depends on the power of 
the pc and the actual load ( number of tracks, effects, instruments 
playing), and latency is still a *phenomenon* and something you *have to 
live with* in computer audio production; as opposed to hardware gear 
like samplers, drum machines, synths, etc. and short of buying a $10K 
protools "soundcard". a _hobbyist_ audio interface can be decent with 
latencies under 20ms.


In application, multi-track  recording programa like Cubase, Logic, 
Ardour, Ableton, Cakewalk etc, do fairly well (with a good setup) when 
all material is confined within the computer and not communicating with 
the outside world.  When you are recording say a vocalist, chances are 
you're playing back all the other tracks (drums, bass, etc) at the same 
time for the vocalist to listen and sing to, plus possible playing back 
the vocalist with added effects likde reverb; a mixture of delays going 
in, and the same amount going out.


Simillarly, if you had one or more audio tracks, (playing back audio 
recordings or samples off hard disk), and had any midi track there being 
sent to external hardware like a drum machine ,to play drum parts from 
there, or a hardware synth playing a bass or pad track,  then the 
practice is to compensate for latency by having the midi track play or 
transmit with a 5ms delay, to give the computer tha

thanks for making it even more clear to me.
actually what i meant was this:

void function(void){
  char *p;
  p = malloc(1);
}
int main(void){
  while (1){
function();  
/* in the end of this function function()

 * even when the only pointer who knows its address
 * does not longer exist
 * which is why we have to free() the memory

  }
}
but even if you kill -SEGV `pgrep this` (Segmentation fault (core dumped) the 
memory is getting freed anyway (presumably by the glorious kernel). which you 
can see dynamicly by typing top in the console.

in other words segmentation fault when free() is not a scary thing here. it is 
a matter of style and the way to find own errors. or maybe reading warnings if 
you compile with the flags -ansi -pedantic 

oh and by the way:

that is an easier approach because you get warned on passing an address to a 
local variable

I am not clear about what you are trying to do, but fdisk should not 
be mucking with so-called logical partitions.   FreeBSD does not 
really deal with 'logical' partitions'.Anyway, they are more akin
to FreeBSD partitions than slices.   Slices are the primary division
and partitions are the subdivisions.fdisk handles creating slices 
and MBRs.  For partitions you use bsdlabel and it handles the boot
record that the MBR hands control off to.

Generally, you don't want to mess with slices or in MS terminology "primary
partitions" with the system running - even if you can find a way.

This won't throw SEGV in free() because, well, it never calls free(),
but it leaks memory like mad :)

Yes.  When a process terminates, the kernel dismantles and releases all
its 'mapped memory areas', including the heap where malloc()'ed memory
comes from.

 As I wrote already, I do know that fdisk(8) does not understand
logical partitions, so forget fdisk.  I'm looking for something that
does understand them.

>really deal with 'logical' partitions'.Anyway, they are more akin

 It certainly does.  I've been using them since I first installed
FreeBSD 5.2.1 in 2005, and FreeBSD understands them just fine.  The
FreeBSD boot loader is another matter, but it's probably not big enough
to be that smart.

>to FreeBSD partitions than slices.   Slices are the primary division

 No, they are not.  They exist because the design for the Master Boot
Record only has four entries, which originally limited one to having no
more than four disk partitions.  If one needs more partitions than four,
then one must use one of the four MBR entries as an entry for the Extended
Partition, which anchors a chain of small descriptors that each contain
a) a logical partition entry and b) a pointer to the next descriptor in
the chain.  A disk partition that has a type of 165 (IIRC) is a FreeBSD
slice.  It matters not whether that partition is a primary partition or a
logical partition.  The kernel is smart enough to understand the logical
partition chain.

>and partitions are the subdivisions.fdisk handles creating slices 

 A FreeBSD partition is a subdivision of a FreeBSD slice, which is
just a disk partition, either primary or logical, of type 165.

>and MBRs.  For partitions you use bsdlabel and it handles the boot
>record that the MBR hands control off to.

 Yes, yes.  So what?  I need something smarter than fdisk, so that
I don't have to shut down the system in order to rearrange disk partitions
on a disk that does have a logical partition chain.  fdisk will wipe out
the chain, rather than giving me any way to change the contents of the
chain.  Part of that chain contains several partitions holding images of
another system that I do not wish to lose at this point.

 Ah, but I do.  My current problem is a case in point.  I have a drive
that I'm not currently using, but that has stuff on it I don't want to lose
(e.g., the images of another system).  I want to set it up for use.  I do not
want to shut everything down just so that I can set it up for use.  Right now
the nine or ten partitions on it include three or four (I don't remember
right now) FreeBSD slices.  (The FreeBSD slices are further subdivided into
FreeBSD partitions, but that is irrelevant because I intend to wipe out
their contents anyway.)  With the exception of the partitions holding
backup images of another system, nothing is arranged on that drive the way
I want it arranged now, so I need to be able to rearrange it without
disturbing everything else currently running on the system.  There are other
situations, too, that arise from time to time that I would like to be able
to deal with and not have to shut down FreeBSD to do that.
 Anyway, back to my original question for anyone who can help:  does
anyone know of a disk partition editor that will allow me to manipulate
the logical partitions, as well as the primary partitions, and that runs
under FreeBSD?

silicon Graphics hardware

[Tim Kellers]

I googled a bit this morning and, except for some old (Freebsd 4.x) 
posts, I didn'r see anything terribly relevant, but does FreeBSD run on 
any Silicon Graphics hardware?  I've heard that (maybe) an Ubuntu  
distro _might_ run if the hardware was booted/configged with the Irix 
Foundations disks.  The Information Systems department where I work is 
aswim in some SGI hardware that they'd like to relocate and reclaim the 
space, so I'm looking for alternatives to repurpose the hardware.  Since 
I know FreeBSD better than any flavor of Linux, I'm looking for a BSD 
solution, first.


I don't, yet, have the Foundations Irix disks, so I'm looking for any 
alternative I can find.


Thanks

Perhaps, if there's some *good* reason why we *shouldn't* want to "mess
with slices" while the system is running, someone can explain why.  For
instance -- even if I only have one HDD in the system -- we could assume
a setup like this:

  slice
/ partition
/etc/ partition
/usr/ partition
/var/ partition
  /usr/home/ slice
  C:/ slice for MS Windows primary partition

Why, for the love of Gob and all that's Wholly, shouldn't I be able to
wipe out my MS Windows primary partition, create a BSD slice, and use the
extra space for /usr/local/share/ if I suddenly find I need the space?

I, too, would like to know if a partition/slice tool such as what Scott
seeks exists.  In fact, it would be nice to discover such a tool that not
only handles partitions/slices, but also logical/BSD partitions.

it is related, but what you mentiioned is a slightly
different area in 
computer audio than what i mean with respect  to kernels.


An old card is likely to produce greater delays under any
setup, but 
that is more a factor of its capabilities and quality of
its parts than 
just purely because it is old.  If you were using JACK
(linux) or ASIO 
(windows) the delay could be minimized to some extent, but
no miracles 
there, and that is about the most you can do.


i'm only at entry level on audio engineering, but in a
nutshell here is 
an overview to explain your delay, (latency) and my kernel

related question.

first of all, computers are always prone to latencies, or
delays, 
because of the time it takes the cpu to process  the audio
data, 
read/write from disks, convert between audio signals and
digital data, 
etc, etc. All take up cycles and valuable milliseconds.


when playing normal music like mp3s in itunes and such, you
wouldn't 
notice any delay because the data is simply read from disk
and output 
thru speackers as they come, though technically there would
be a short 
period between the time the data was read off disk and then
heard out 
the speakers. in audio production that slight delay, or
latency, is 
everything, especially when you have multi-track recording
and syncing 
with external gear. (latencies range from under 10ms to

over 100ms)

Latency would be more noticeable, say when recording, and
would sound 
like an echo if you were talking into a mic and listening
thru 
headphones or speakers, on an average setup at least.
roughly becase of 
the time needed to process the signal.


Also, If you were to use a midi controller/keyboard
connected via midi 
to play a software instrument, you would notice a delay
between the time 
you hit a key on the keyboard and when you actually heard
the sound. The 
key press transmittes midi data to the software instrument,
the software 
triggers the desired sound immediately, but there is that
slight delay 
to create the sound and push it out the speakers.


Audio interfaces can have a latency around 5ms, which is
very good,  yet 
may still be faintly noticable, and that also depends on
the power of 
the pc and the actual load ( number of tracks, effects,
instruments 
playing), and latency is still a *phenomenon* and something
you *have to 
live with* in computer audio production; as opposed to
hardware gear 
like samplers, drum machines, synths, etc. and short of
buying a $10K 
protools "soundcard". a _hobbyist_ audio
interface can be decent with 
latencies under 20ms.


In application, multi-track  recording programa like
Cubase, Logic, 
Ardour, Ableton, Cakewalk etc, do fairly well (with a good
setup) when 
all material is confined within the computer and not
communicating with 
the outside world.  When you are recording say a vocalist,
chances are 
you're playing back all the other tracks (drums, bass,
etc) at the same 
time for the vocalist to listen and sing to, plus possible
playing back 
the vocalist with added effects likde reverb; a mixture of
delays going 
in, and the same amount going out.


Simillarly, if you had one or more audio tracks, (playing
back audio 
recordings or samples off hard disk), and had any midi
track there being 
sent to external hardware like a drum machine ,to play drum
parts from 
there, or a hardware synth playing a bass or pad track, 
then the 
practice is to compensate for latency by having the midi
track play or 
transmit with a 5ms delay, to give the computer that little
time to 
process the audio, and so the whole mix would sound in sync
(since midi 
to external gear to sound heard would be instant). 5ms for
a sytem with 
5ms latency, 20ms would require 20, 100 would require 100,

etc.

There is a lot more to computer audio production, but
basically the  
efforts are always, or mainly, to reduce that latency as
much as 
possible. Better audio interfaces not only have better
components and 
AD/DA converters, they are also intented to take as much
load off the 
cpu as possible, and handle what they can themselves. Also,
the more 
power a computer has never eliminates latency or delay
completely, it 
just generally means you can play more tracks at once and
use low 
latencies more comfortable without dropouts, glitches,

clicks and pops.

( Latency is more or less adjustable by configuring the
audio buffer 
size and the number of said buffers to find the best
setting on your 
system. That is, you stop at the lowest setting that works
without 
glitches and gaps in the music playback or recording. The
best way to 
demonstrate or understand that is by using prope

FreeBSD does not (AFAIK) run on any Silicon Graphics machines.
NetBSD is however capable of running on several Silicon Graphics machines,
so you might take a look at that and see if it supports the particular
hardware you have (it probably does, but no guarantees.)

From geom(4):
 Several flags are provided for tracing GEOM operations and unlocking pro-
 tection mechanisms via the kern.geom.debugflags sysctl.  All of these
 flags are off by default, and great care should be taken in turning them
 on.

 0x10 (allow foot shooting)
   Allow writing to Rank 1 providers.  This would, for example, allow
   the super-user to overwrite the MBR on the root disk or write ran-
   dom sectors elsewhere to a mounted disk.  The implications are
   obvious.

There should be several partition editors in sysutils/*, so the only thing you 
really need is to set kern.geom.debugflags to 16.
A quick scan of gpart(8) man page might have support for logical paritions, 
but I'm not an expert:
 add  Add a new partition to the partitioning scheme given by geom.
  The partition begins on the logical block address given by the
  -b start option.  Its size is expressed in logical block numbers
  and given by the -s size option.  The type of the partition is
  given by the -t type option.  Partition types are discussed in
  the section entitled "Partition Types".

This is invoked by /etc/rc.d/* system. Do a grep for kldstat which scripts use 
it and maybe you can work out from there, which kernel modules cause the

Can you run kldstat from console?

Right, this is one of the annoyances of C-programming "Who still knows where 
my pointer is". You can use a general rule though:
If I don't return this pointer, and I don't assign this pointer to a 
parameter, and I don't assign this pointer to a global variable, I should 
free this pointer myself.
(Yes yes, malloc'd static storage - new can of worms).

Did you previously have kde-4 on this machine? ldconfig -r |grep gettext 
should show a /usr/local/kde4/../libgettext.so, but that isn't usuable, so 
new port builds will see 'a libgettext', so wont install gettext, but kde's 
configure finds it is not usuable, so will default to it's internal copy of 
gettext, which doesn't compile cleanly.
cd /usr/ports/devel/kdesdk
${EDITOR} `make -V WRKSRC`/config.log
that should show hints why it does not find gettext usable.

(Yep, been bitten by it).

/usr/ports/sysutils/linuxfdisk
will do the job no problem. This FreeBSD port provides fdisk, cfdisk and

multimedia files.  It works very well when the target (or source) file 
is a large multimedia file that needs to be transmitted in small 
sections and reassembled.
I've had mixed results using it to split up and re-join large text files 
like log files or /var/mail/username files.

Re: two nics each with dsl and the third for LAN and am not able to get any milage out of one dsl.

[eculp]

Quoting Nash Nipples <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:




I just inherited a second dsl line and don't have a
server to connect
it too so I have it connected to a third nic that I have in
the Dell
that has the first dsl connection and the LAN.  I have been
running pf
on the two nics with nat and squid in transparent proxy
mode without
any issues. My problem is that I haven't come up with a
way to really
take advantage of the new dsl to reduce traffic on the
first.  I'm not
even dreaming of load balancing just sharing some of the
load.

I had thought about trying to get squid to use the second
connection
but my feeble attempts at redirecting it haven't made
much sense nor
have they worked. Most of our traffic is outgoing rather
than
incoming, if that helps.

I'm sure someone else must have a similar setup and are
doing better

that I am just drowning in a glass of water.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Then it's no different then split/cat. It would be different, if it would 
handle different multimedia formats special, preserving keyframes accross 
parts, for example. FreeBSD split/cat is perfectly capable of handling large 
files and doesn't need tons of #ifdef's to be Portable(tm).

if anyone can tell me where to begin for troubleshooting errors like this, i

The idea that malloc() allocates memory is really a C language
abstraction. What it actually does is allocate a region in the
process's virtual address space. The mapping of physical memory to
virtual address space is handled at a lower-level and doesn't rely on
malloc() or free().

I'm not sure what you are saying here, but the handling of dynamic
memory in C is something that needs to be well thought-out in
advance. Bugs is this area can be very difficult and time-consuming
to track-down.

Yes.  It was *only* written to illustrate how a particular failure could
happen.  I wouldn't recommend this to anyone as a programming approach :)

There is already a driver available for 6.3, but you need to compile it
yourself. Check the drivers list for details.

Try this. I'm stress testing atm, but either way it still works. I'm
using different hardware (desktops, laptops, multicore, single core,
AMD, Intel, high-end and low-end cpus), so I think this accounts for
some stalls and latency I've noticed.

Much obliged to all y'all gentlemen for your valuable design insight.

Now, is there anything more I can do to secure my webserver from attacks? Or
perhaps my pf.conf can be simplified / beautified?

Peter N. M. Hansteen: Did I follow your tutorial correctly?

Lars Noodén: Would you happen to have an example of that?

My pf.conf now looks like this:

-

ext_if = "rl0"

int_if = "ep0"

set block-policy return

set skip on { lo0 }

scrub in

table  persist

nat on $ext_if from $int_if:network to any -> ($ext_if)

rdr on $ext_if proto tcp from any to any port 3 -> 192.168.187.2 port
3

pass out keep state

pass quick on $int_if

block in

block quick from 

pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to any port { 20, 21, 25, 53,
113, 3:35000 } keep state (max-src-conn 100, max-src-conn-rate 15/5,
overload  flush global)

pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to any port 22 keep state
(max-src-conn 15, max-src-conn-rate 5/3, overload  flush global)

pass in on $ext_if inet proto udp from any to any port 53 keep state

pass in on $ext_if inet proto icmp from any to any keep state

Sorry, _this_ is my webserver's pf.conf (the other one was my home
firewall's):

-

mad = "80.202.2.3"

doom = "{ 80.202.2.4 - 80.202.2.127 }"

ext_if = "rl0"

set block-policy return

set skip on { lo0 }

scrub in

table  persist

pass out keep state

block in

block quick from 

pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to any port 22 keep state
(max-src-conn 15, max-src-conn-rate 5/3, overload  flush global)

pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to $mad port { 25, 53, 80, 110 }
keep state (max-src-conn 100, max-src-conn-rate 15/5, overload

pass in on $ext_if inet proto udp from any to $mad port 53 keep state

pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp from any to $doom port { 20, 21, 113,

Any way to play www.last.fm on FreeBSD?

[Gary Kline]

I can't listen to last.fm with firefox2 or firefox3--and parts of
ff3 don't get loaded.  With the KDE3 browser, same thing; it
won't recognize last.fm.  Nutshell: what do I need to do to
play songs from last.fm here [FBSD]?

There is audio/last.fm in the Ports tree - have you tried that?

Shared /usr in jails

[Matt Fioravante]

I want to implement a number of jails for different services on a single
box.

Since /usr is the same everywhere I'd like to just mount one copy of it
read-only to all the jails and then have them each have their own /usr/local

Someone recommended keeping the main system's /usr separate. This would mean
building a /usr for the main system and then making a copy of it
to be shared by the jails.

Aesthetics and philosophy aside, are there any real security holes in just
using the systems /usr everywhere if it is mounted read only in the jails?
THis seems to be the
approach used by solaris zones.

Thanks!

Usually a jail /usr is almost empty.

You would prefer to have the very strict minimum of things inside a
jail.

Thank you for doc! Might End up using my side aswell.
Unfortunately most of my servers run ipfw.

For a couple of years, I shared /usr on a dozen of hosts by NFS. Worked 
fine, but I mounted it read-only on all but one box. Thus, I had to 
symlink very few files or directories out from /usr to /var.


For security and reliability, I'd recommend to limit read-write access to 
/usr.
