rum and ural are wireless cards, but you have the wlan options
commented out. You need to either remove them or add the wlan section
back.

Don't seem to have all the details either, but from what little I can piece 
together is his company being bought by another necessitates the melding of 
his old systems with the new companies' Windows based environment. This 
could very well be an incorrect assumption on my part.

In a Windows environment when DHCP is used, as it hands out IP addresses it 
then updates the IP/hostname pair in the DNS server database. This is 
configured to operate by the admins. Usually there are at least two DHCP 
scopes minimum for the dynamically assigned IPs, but there can also be 
configured a scope for static IPs for things such as mail servers. So it is 
still possible for a mail server to initialize networking via DHCP and be 
assigned the same statically assigned IP every time. It is the 
responsibility of the Windows DHCP servers to sync with the DNS server 
database. If you are not going to have static services such as a mail server 
initialize via DHCP then a system admin will have to manually enter this 
information into the DNS server database. Without possessing the 
administrative authority to do this things will get very frustrating.

Bottom line is, if what I think is going on is correct, he can fight this 
battle in myriad different directions but inevitably all will lead back to 
the system admins of the purchasing company must get involved in order to 
properly meld the 2 networks together. All 10,000 different paths which can 
be pursued will ultimately lead back to this, so they ought to just bite the 
bullet and get it over with.

(If one wants to run his own Unix based DNS servers so as to have this under 
his/her control set up for file based zone transfer from the Windows DNS 
servers. The key to making this work is to manually config the zone 
transfers on the Windows DNS machines to ascii instead of UTF8 or else the 
Unix box DNS zone files will be endlessly polluted with garbage characters. 
Of course this all is moot if you are not allowed to be delegated or be 
authoritative for your little piece of the DNS tree. Here again, this is 
still going to have to be handled by the purchasing companies' admins as 
they are the ones in the drivers seat. This type of melding of heterogeneous 
systems absolutely requires both sides to work together.)

Thanks for the answer... I've been reading and find that i was
confused... i thought that those hz where only for polling but i found
that they are actually for the whole system clock... so now my doubt
is if it will be better to activate polling and leave hz in 1000, or
download hz to lets say 50 so i dont have too many context switches
due to clock interrupts... I will try to test load changing only those
parameters and come back with my results. If u guys know any perf
tester suitable for this please share..hehe... i will use iperf and
will look for a web perf app.

Command line not saving in 8*

[Al Plant]

Aloha,

Anybody have a cure for the root or users not being able to save the 
command line commands in csh/tcsh over a power off?


On two machines I used for testing that have run other versions of 
FreeBSD with no issues I can't save the history as a user or root tcsh 
shell if shutdown -h or shutdown -r is used. You can exit the csh and 
tcsh and log back in and it is saved.


This happens with the all 8.0 BETA*.

This does not happen with the 7.2 p1 that Manolis distributes.

Any Ideas what to look for? There has to be something different done 
with 8* that kills off the command line history.

Re: dhcpd related issues

I did not see any reply to your question.

It happened to me that a secondary switch was working badly with
DHCP. If I rebooted the switch, it would work for a while, then fail
again. But that was a sort of random failure, some ports would be
affected sometime. The problem would occur a the first lease in the
morning rather than at renewal time.

As it was a cheap switch, unmanageable, I replaced it.

I don't remember ever seeing such error, but I would think that late
or spurions is not that innocent: it could be the symptom of a switch
not working at its nominal speed.

Of  course you could  also consider  a computer  on that  switch being
infected by some kind of virus and generating so much traffic it takes
your switch out.

Bests,

Olivier

That's a good point.  Thanks.  I'll remember it the next time I suggest

Which you'll see if you don't use the designated build{world|kernel} targets, 
but cd into a directory and start typing make orquite the pitfall, run 
make obj depend, rather then make obj && make depend. In the first case, the 
.depend file ends up in .CURDIR, not .OBJDIR.

Also, perhaps it's better to advise make cleanworld for the rm -rf, as this 
target accomplishes the same, deals better with chflags(2) and leaves 
/usr/obj/usr/ports in tact for those who have set WRKDIRPREFIX to /usr/obj for 
ports.

Ok, I know you're trying to make clear what your problem is, but it's still 
not. So, let's try step by step,, using a FreeBSD mailserver as the example:
1) Does the mailserver have a fixed HOSTNAME or can the HOSTNAME change if the 
DHCP server wants it to?

2) When you say "but I have not managed to get the suggested name put in their 
DNS", does this mean you expect the FreeBSD mailserver to enter itself into 
the Microsoft DNS? Or can you not get the FreeBSD mailserver to name itself 
according to what the DHCP server tells them to?

evince paper size

[Warren Block]

Is there an easy way to force evince to always use US-Letter as a 
default paper size?  I don't run Gnome or CUPS, just lpd.


The only option that seems to work is to setenv LANG en_US.UTF-8.  I'd 
prefer to just build evince to know the default size instead of having 
to do


sh -c "export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ; /usr/local/bin/evince filename.pdf"

Even with that, the paper size is only implied by the locale, not 
explicitly set.

The first run cleans file sunder $(MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX), or under
`/usr/obj' if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is unset.

The second run cleans files in the source tree itself.

The question is whether by the "same name" you are referring to a dns
lookup, a wins lookup, or a nbns broadcast query, or all of the above
;)

try running:

 tcpdump -r filename.pcap -vvv port bootpc

in order to get a nice decode of your dhcp session.  This will contain
by the client discover/request/ack, and the server offer packets.

Your windows capture clearly shows a dhcp option 12 with the short
name, and dhcp option 81 with FQDN

   Hostname Option 12, length 10: "CHSLSBROWN"
FQDN Option 81, length 31: "CHSLSBROWN.kapstonepaper.com"
Vendor-Class Option 60, length 8: "MSFT 5.0"
Parameter-Request Option 55, length 11:
  Subnet-Mask, Domain-Name, Default-Gateway, Domain-Name-Server
  Netbios-Name-Server, Netbios-Node, Netbios-Scope, Router-Discovery
  Static-Route, Classless-Static-Route-Microsoft, Vendor-Option
END Option 255, length 0

Your freebsd captures show dhcp option 12 with the FQDN.  You need to
try using option 12 and option 81 just like in windows land.  You may
even need to put in the Vendor-Class and/or others to duplicate the
windows request, but try one item at a time.

Try adding these to your dhclient.conf as needed.  Take the time to
look at the man page for dhclient.conf, and dhcp-options, and also
take a look at the full defined option numbers here:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/bootp-dhcp-parameters/

Good Luck.

That old problem again... ;-)

My (somewhat shaky) work around is this:

1. In /etc/rc.d/NETWORKING, add the line
 # REQUIRE: mpd

2. In /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mpd5, make sure the line
 # PROVIDE: mpd
   is present

3. In /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mpd5, add
 sleep 10
   at the bottom.

   (That's where my solution is shaky: 10 secs is more than enough
   for me on PPPoE, but it may not be enough for dial-up modems etc.)

4. In /etc/rc.d/pf, add NETWORKING to the # REQUIRE: line:
 # REQUIRE: FILESYSTEMS netif pflog pfsync NETWORKING

5. In /etc/rc.d/named, add NETWORKING to the # REQUIRE: line:
 # REQUIRE: SERVERS cleanvar NETWORKING

This setup will effectively run mpd5 *before* pf, and will
also wait (hopefully) long enough for mpd5 to set up ng0.
Then, when pf runs, ng0 will be already there.

Of course, there is more than one way to do it. It just happens
to work here.

java/jdk16 vulnerability?

[cpghost]

Hi Greg,

Freenet (http://www.freenetproject.org/) on my FreeBSD/amd64 system
complains about an old and vulnerable Java version:

  Your installed version of Java is vulnerable to a severe remote
  exploit (remote code execution!). You must upgrade to at least Java
  5 update 20 or Java 6 update 15 as soon as possible. Freenet has
  disabled any plugins handling XML for the time being, but this
  includes searching and chat so you should upgrade ASAP!

  See http://www.cert.fi/en/reports/2009/vulnerability2009085.html for
  details.

  Also, please do not use Thaw or Freetalk. The UPnP plugin is
  enabled, it might present a risk if you have bad guys on your LAN,
  but without it Freenet will not be able to port forward and will
  have severe problems.

I'm running java/jdk16:

phenom# java -version
java version "1.6.0_03-p4"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-p4-root_08_sep_2009_17_05-b00)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 
1.6.0_03-p4-root_08_sep_2009_17_05-b00, mixed mode)

On 7.2-STABLE:

phenom# uname -a

CEST 2009 r...@phenom.cordula.ws:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Is that version of Java really vulnerable? If yes, why doesn't
  # portaudit -Fda
report it as such, and could you please update the java/jdk16 port?

Thanks,
-cpghost.

DHCP client questions

[stan]

We have been bought out, and the new powers that be, are changing things.
They have decreed that there shall be no static entries in their DNS
servers. They are using $MS DHCP/DNS servers. I have a corporate supported
Win XP laptop, which I can plug in at various places in the network. It
gets different IP addresses, based upon where it physically is, but always
comes up with the same name.

I have several machines (such as a mailserver) which _MUST_ have fixed
names. I have played around with /etc/dhcllient.conf, but not managed to
get this working. I can get IP addresses, and various things such as
default routers, and DNS servers, but I have not managed to get the
suggested name put in their DNS.

I have captured packet traces with wireshark from the laptop, and from the
FreebSD client, and I am putting these up at http://beachcave.net/pdumps. 

I would really appreciate it if someone more familiar with DHCP that I
could take a look at theses.

Thanks.

Can you wipe our /usr/obj and start with a clean object tree?  You may
also have stale build artifacts in /usr/src so something like this might
be a good idea:

# rm -fr /usr/obj/usr
# cd /usr/src
# make cleandir ; make cleandir

You don't need to do anything. By default, dhclient sends the hostname. 
Exception is when you don't have a hostname configured in /etc/rc.conf.

freebsd-update problem 8.0Beta1 to 8.0Beta4

[Fernando Apesteguía]

Hi all,

I'm having some problems trying to update from FreeBSD 8.0 Beta1 to 8.0 Beta4.

I upgraded from 7.2 to beta1 some time ago, using freebsd-update
without problems. Later
I did the same thing to reach beta2. Yesterday I tried it to get to
beta3 but I have a bunch
of errors like this one:

/usr/sbin/freebsd-update: cannot open files/.gz: No such file or directory

This is after the "preparing to download files" stage. I have plenty
of disk space left on my hard disk.
In an attempt to fix the problem I performed a rollback, so I went to
beta1 again. This process seemed
to work fine. However, whenever I try to upgrade to another higher
release number, I get those errors.

Listing the contents of the /var/db/freebsd-update/files/ directory
shows a bunch of .gz files.
What can be wrong?

I've googled, but I haven't been able to find a solution.
Any help?
Thanks in advance.

Not able to compile GENERIC kernel

[mfv]

Hello,

After rebuilding FreeBSD for many years I am not able to build a GENERIC 
kernel for the last few days.   It always stops when compiling acpi.

The source code is up to date for 7 -STABLE for i386 on a amd64 cpu.  I 
have always been able to recompile a GENERIC kernel since release 5.1 
and do not know what I am doing wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

With thanks.

Please don't top post. If you don't know what that means, Google for it.

If the OP has 'dovecot' all ready installed, that might be a viable
option. Otherwise, he would be better off to simply configure SASL2
correctly.

I would strongly recommend that the OP reads the Postfix documentation
on SASL as well as visiting:
 and
downloading and running the 'saslfinger' utility. He can then post the
output preferably the Postfix forum, or else here.

Postfix error after updating to openssl-0.9.8k_5

[Carmel NY]

I just install the updated "openssl-0.9.8k_3" to "openssl-0.9.8k_5" and
then rebuilt "postfix-current-2.7.20090712,4" and
"cyrus-sasl-saslauthd-2.1.23". Now when Postfix starts, I am receiving
this error message:

Sep 20 08:15:51 scorpio postfix/smtpd[4050]: sql_select option missing
Sep 20 08:15:51 scorpio postfix/smtpd[4050]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism 
available

The "/var/log/messages" log is also filled with these error messages.
However, I cannot discover anything inappropriately happening with
Postfix. It appears to working correctly and I have no indication of
mail being lost or refused.

I do not use MySQL with Postfix.

cat /usr/local/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf

# Global Parameters
log_level: 0
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN

This is on a FreeBSD-7.2 system. Has anyone else experienced this
phenomena?

To quote polling(4):
"Device polling disables interrupts by polling devices at appropriate
times, i.e., on clock interrupts and within the idle loop.  This way, the
context switch overhead is removed.  Furthermore, the operating system
can control accurately how much work to spend in handling device events,
and thus prevent livelock by reserving some amount of CPU to other tasks."

HZ affects how often the device is polled. For high bandwidth situations, it 
is important that the latency is kept as low as possible. That means that you 
must poll the device as often as possible. So generally people use very high 
HZ values for polling, for example 1. HZ=50 leads to latencies of about 
20ms, way too high for normal network I/O.

Note that you can change HZ without recompiling by specifying kern.hz="###" in 
loader.conf.

Yes, you are right. I learnt something new here :)
So, I believe this is what we are looking at:-

 send { [option declaration] [, ... option declaration] }
 The send statement causes the client to send the specified
 options to the server with the specified values.  These are full
 option declarations as described in dhcp-options(5).  Options
 that are always sent in the DHCP protocol should not be specified
 here, except that the client can specify a dhcp-lease-time option
 other than the default requested lease time, which is two hours.
 The other obvious use for this statement is to send information
 to the server that will allow it to differentiate between this
 client and other clients or kinds of clients.

So it would be something like
send host-name "andare.fugue.com";

can you not add the line

cloned_interfaces="ng0"

to rc.conf(.local) it will create the pseudo interface very early on.

Re: Mutt /tmp full error when "trying" to read email

[Doug Hardie]

You have 4 directories in /tmp.  Check them.  If nothing, run lsof +L1  
and see if there are files allocated but not in the directory.
