For testing purposes, I'd also take out the host {} block giving
mai a fixed address. Once mai is picking up an address successfully,

Finally, you do know about SLAAC? (StateLess Address AutoConfiguration)
An IPv6 machine can automatically pick up the local network prefix and
create itself an address from that range by combining it with its MAC
address. To enable, you simply need to run rtadvd on your server, and
rtsold on your client. It only deals with IP address and default
gateway -- other things you'll have to either configure manually, or use
DHCP for, or even set up Bonjour/Avahi.

Is there any other way to do this than copying the file and deleting the original? There are _always_ alternative ways. With suffficient knowledge, oue could, for example, use 'dd' to copy the required two bytes to the appropriate position on the raw device holding the filesystem. This approach is, however, not likely to be at all 'reasonable' for the average user. The usual suspects like touch and mv do not work. yup. 'creation' timestamp is intended to be more-or-less immutable in the Unix world. And that 'viewpoint' carries over to other kinds of filesysems grafted onto a Unix host. No; the utimes() syscall can be used to easily set the creation time (called birth time so it doesn't get confused with the ctime file metadata change time). More likely is that whoever added birthtime to ufs didn't bother updating the msdosfs code. If one of the other BSD's has implemented it, it should be relatively easy to import the changes. Otherwise you'll probably have to look at how birthtime is currently handled in ufs, and make it work in msdosfs. I repeat my previous. it is intended to be 'more-or-less' immutable. The FFS designers recognized that there would be occasions where it was _necessary_ to do so, and built the capability into the OS. The *omission* of user-tools that use that hook is/was =intentional=. A means of saying 'you really *shouldn't* do this, without absolutely prohibiting it. It _isn't_ impossbile, but the 'bar' is deliberately/intentionally out of the reach of the casual user. A backup/resture utility has good reason to muck with the 'birth date', but hardly anything else does. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

As far as I can tell, the subnet6 statement was the only error in the
config you posted. Hmmm... I'm thinking the problem is perhaps your
firewall. ... but you've tried disabling the firewall completely.
Probably not that then.
Connecting to [ff02::1:2]:547 (link-scoped
All_DHCP_Relay_Agents_and_Servers) or [ff05::1:3]:547 (site-scoped
All_DHCP_Servers) should get some sort of answer.
Check the routing table on server and client -- on a FreeBSD box, I get:
% netstat -r | grep ff02
ff02::%re0 fe80::e2cb:4eff:fe U re0
ff02::%fwe0fe80::1e:8cff:fec2 U fwe0
ff02::%fwip0 fe80::21e:8c00:c2: U fwip0
ff02::%lo0 localhost U lo0
ff02::%gif0fe80::e2cb:4eff:fe U gif0
(ie. a route for all network interfaces known on the system, whether
active or not)
The next step in debugging is to start capturing packet traces
(tcpdump(1), wireshark(1)) on both client and server and hunting in
there for clues. I know some IPv6 traffic won't get through my wireless
router, but that device is IPv4 only and the poor thing gets easily
confused by all this new-fangled IPv6 stuff...
Cheers,
Matthew
PS. On the off chance that it is the firewall. A good debugging trick
with pf is to add a 'log' clause to any rule that has a block or reject
action. Eg. in lines like the following:
block log all
block in log quick from no-route to any
block in log quick from urpf-failed to any
antispoof log quick for lo0
block in log quick on $ext_if from ssh-bruteforce
etc. etc.
Then run tcpdump on the pflog0 interface:
# tcpdump -i pflog0 -vv
and make your client request a new lease.
In the IPv4 case, the first packets the client sends are not *IP*
packets -- they are pure ethernet packets, sent to the broadcast MAC
address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, and don't necessarily have any IP address
data (either IPv4 or IPv6) in them at all. If MAC-broadcast fails, then
dhcp client will fall back to using the IPv4 link-local address range
169.254.0.0/16 (RFC3927). However, if your dhcp client does that, then
it's usually an indication you aren't going to get an address.
Now, with IPv6, link-local addresses are always configured, and there
are a whole new set of prefixes for local-, site- and global- scope
addresses. I don't know if dhcp client tries using MAC-broadcast at all
in the IPv6 case (I would think dhcpd should answer if it does) but the
link-local address stuff is possibly what's being blocked somewhere.

If it is the 1st copy, I'd suggest using dump + restore. This of course will only work if your /home is a separate partition on both systems. Partition size doesn't matter as long as the size of the target partition is at least the size of the used data on the source partition. You basically umount /home and then use # dump -Lauf0 home.dump /dev/ad0s1f to obtain the data; you can also use - instead of the actual file home.dump to pipe the data directly to a transfer via scp. On the target machine, # cd /home # restore -rf /where/is/home.dump You can connect both commands with ssh so you can directly dump + restore from machine A to machine B, given that SSH is possible. It then would be something like this: # dump -0Lauf - /dev/ad0s1f | ssh 10.0.0.10 cd /home cat | restore -rf - In this example, 10.0.0.10 is the IP of the target machine, and you're issuing the command from the source machine, with /home unmounted. Note that dump requires the DEVICE NAME of the device where /home is mounted on, and restore will put everything into the CURRENT DIRECTORY. The source device must NOT be mounted, but the target directory must be mounted and accessible. You CAN, however, leave /home mounted, and dump will create a snapshot that identifies /home as at the starting point in time; changes during backup won't be reflected in the target. It CAN be possible get inconsistencies during creation of the snapshot if there's heavy activity on /home, so it's usually the safe way to umount /home before reading from the device file. This method makes sure you will get ALL files with their exact properties (permissions, flags, dates). See 18.2.1 here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/backup-basics.html For any further synchronisation, I would go with rsync. There is also another interesting tool in ports: It is called cpdup. It can also be used for synchronisation, and it has the interesting feature (can be configured of course) that it won't delete files in the target that have been deleted in source since the last run. In this case, your target data will always grow, and if you acciden- tally deleted something, it will sill be there. and to you, matthew, does --delete rm out of date files or directories? The --delete parameter will have rsync delete files on the target that are NOT part of the source files, but only relative to the subtree you are transfering. E. g. on your target machine you already have src/foo.tex src/bar.tex src/meow.c from last time you synchronized, and you have the files src/foo.tex src/bar.tex as never versions in the source, and you also deleted meow.c here because you don't need it anymore. Now if you rsync the src/ dir to the target machine, --delete will remove meow.c from the target, and rsync will of course update foo.tex and bar.tex. The --delete makes sure that the copy is of 1:1 kind, instead of incremental. what about ?VS, given that i have virtually everything under [CR]VS control? slightly offtopic is that i accidently rm'd a file on tao one morning after a few minutes work. a copy was safely croned to ethic. A good suggestion. I did use cvsup (from ports) in the past for revision control and idiotproof storage for most stuff that I created. It is very helpful, not just for recovering accidentally deleted files, but also for progress check and rewinding changes. It's a great tool for keeping configuration files also. Backing it up gives you a versioned, ordered, one-tree consistent file collection. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

(ie. a route for all network interfaces known on the system, whether active or not) The next step in debugging is to start capturing packet traces (tcpdump(1), wireshark(1)) on both client and server and hunting in there for clues. I know some IPv6 traffic won't get through my wireless router, but that device is IPv4 only and the poor thing gets easily confused by all this new-fangled IPv6 stuff... Thankfully, all my gear is quite new, and IPV6 runs happily on it with radvd. I at least know its not my networking gear :) . I also, luckily, have two wireless APs to test (one on RADIUS, one without) so i can rule that out as the cause of the issue as well Cheers, Matthew PS. On the off chance that it is the firewall. A good debugging trick with pf is to add a 'log' clause to any rule that has a block or reject action. Eg. in lines like the following: # tcpdump -i pflog0 -vv and make your client request a new lease. Did all of this to be 100% sure about this. No ip6 traffic was blocked. Now, with IPv6, link-local addresses are always configured, and there are a whole new set of prefixes for local-, site- and global- scope addresses. I don't know if dhcp client tries using MAC-broadcast at all in the IPv6 case (I would think dhcpd should answer if it does) but the link-local address stuff is possibly what's being blocked somewhere. Yes, the new ipv6 stuff is very interesting. In fact Internode my ISP, use DHCP6 for router prefix advertisement on the pppoe session. In fact, could that be the issue? I have dhcp6c running from my pppoe session (tun0), and it assigns the prefix to em0. I also am trying to use em0 as the DHCP6 server.

It's different, yes. That could be due to running DHCP6 -- after all, the daemon has to have some way of receiving all the DHCP traffic to the various site- and link- local addresses. You can test that by turning off dhcpd and checking the routing table with it not running. If the route doesn't disappear, try disabling dhcpd in /etc/rc.conf, rebooting and then see if that route is still present. Either way, re-enable dhcpd in rc.conf and re-start the daemon: if the route appears then it's required by dhcpd and everything looks to be in order. In fact, could that be the issue? I have dhcp6c running from my pppoe session (tun0), and it assigns the prefix to em0. I also am trying to use em0 as the DHCP6 server. This shouldn't be breaking it, but it *could* be? Ah. Yes, this might cause you problems. Possibly. If Internode DHCP6 has been configured as authoritative for your address range and if the query packets from your client can reach Internode's DHCP6 server then you probably will have trouble. I shouldn't think its likely though -- your client's DHCP6 initial queries will be to find a server on the same network segment, and to reach the Internode servers it would have to hop through your gateway machine, which is your DHCP6 server anyhow. If your network prefix is dynamically assigned, then I don't think there is a way to have a DHCP6 server be a DHCP6 client as well, and pass on the prefixes it has obtained dynamically. BICBW. If your ISPs policy is actually to assign you a particular prefix permanently rather than give you one out of some dynamically assigned pool, then it's worth a try using a static configuration on your gateway machine -- I believe you said this was a test setup to see if it could be rolled out on a customer network? Should be fine to try static configuration like that for a limited time even supposing it's all dynamically assigned.

You can run a FTP mirror on it quite happily. That's the sort of thing that would work pretty well on any unixoid system to be frank, so your choice of FreeBSD might need justifying by some external criterion: FreeBSD runs ZFS, We get better network performance with FreeBSD or even I'm the sysadmin around here, and I like FreeBSD, so nyer. Check the ports for ftp mirroring programs. Both the ones you mention are available. Another approach is to use a caching proxy -- squid will do this for ftp URLs, as will apache (using mod_proxy). You can even be completely evil and set it up as a transparent proxy with a little work. The advantage of using a caching proxy is that over time it will pretty much auto-tune itself to contain the distfiles your users are interested in without your having to have any prior knowledge.

Is there a way to do that with portupgrade, or is this one of those features that makes portmaster a better mousetrap? portupgrade has had it for a long time: man portupgrade | less '+/-o ORIGIN' Yes. portmaster has pretty much the same '-o' flag. However, it's not quite so swet (sic) as all that -- all the '-o' flag does, in either portmaster or portupgrade is transfer the dependencies to the new package. In very many cases you would still have to reinstall everything that depends on the replaced package. Sometimes that's because shlibs have different versions -- eg. if you upgrade from mysql-5.0.x to mysql-5.1.x[*], then the ABI version changes and you need to reinstall everything that links against libmysql. With perl, the reason is even simpler -- the perl version number is embedded in the library search path, so until you reinstall, even pure-perl modules are going to be inaccessible. XS modules need relinking in any case. Not entirely sure of the details with python, but certainly any module which is available as dynamically loadable object code will need relinking. Generally, the advice is to forcibly reinstall everything that depends on the package you replaced: portmaster -f -R -r example/port portupgrade -f -r example/port Cheers, Matthew [*] Which is a slightly trickier exercise than most, given you've got to update both mysql-client and mysql-server ports using the '-o' thing. Possibly even the mysql-scripts port if installed. And then you've got to deal with all the dependencies too. -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matt...@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: ISC-DHCP6 does not send replies
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 It's different, yes. That could be due to running DHCP6 -- after all, the daemon has to have some way of receiving all the DHCP traffic to the various site- and link- local addresses. You can test that by turning off dhcpd and checking the routing table with it not running. If the route doesn't disappear, try disabling dhcpd in /etc/rc.conf, rebooting and then see if that route is still present. Either way, re-enable dhcpd in rc.conf and re-start the daemon: if the route appears then it's required by dhcpd and everything looks to be in order. I removed this route, and it did not reappear when i restarted the DHCP6 server. It also did not affect the situation, i still get no leases. Ah. Yes, this might cause you problems. Possibly. If Internode DHCP6 has been configured as authoritative for your address range and if the query packets from your client can reach Internode's DHCP6 server then you probably will have trouble. I shouldn't think its likely though -- your client's DHCP6 initial queries will be to find a server on the same network segment, and to reach the Internode servers it would have to hop through your gateway machine, which is your DHCP6 server anyhow. Well, it seems that the packets are all being sent to my gateway, not internode. If your network prefix is dynamically assigned, then I don't think there is a way to have a DHCP6 server be a DHCP6 client as well, and pass on the prefixes it has obtained dynamically. BICBW. If your ISPs policy is actually to assign you a particular prefix permanently rather than give you one out of some dynamically assigned pool, then it's worth a try using a static configuration on your gateway machine -- I believe you said this was a test setup to see if it could be rolled out on a customer network? Should be fine to try static configuration like that for a limited time even supposing it's all dynamically assigned. I tried, but the moment i turned off dhcp6c, i lost ipv6 connectivity, so no go sadly. Well, now i have a server that listens properly, but when my client sends it solicits, it dosen't pick them up at all. might be time to start playing with wireshark and tcpdump I guess.

wvstreaams + wvdial on FreeBSD 8.1 AMD 64
Dear FreeBSD users, I have run out of ideas to troubleshoot a difficult task: get wvstreams and wvdial to work on FreeBSD 8.1.

She encouraged me to ask, but I was hesistant to do so. I have gotten help with LaTeX/TeX issues and with autologin in with both KDE and in XFCE and I appreciate the help I have gotten. I tried downloading the i386 version of 8.1-RELEASE and the special XFCE variant but downloads got corrupted and md5 did not match so I gave up. Tried it about 3 times and same result :( What should I try or do to get this going? In case anyone out there wonders, FreeBSD 8.1 does not have kppp by default. I need a dialer to be able to use my FreeBSD box to connect to outside world. To use this machine, I have Slax/Slax-Remix LiveCD to connect but I would really like to use FreeBSD since it has been a long time since I was able to connect from a FreeBSD box at home (FreeBSD 6.X).

killall -9 program-name does not work
Dear fellow FreeBSD users,
I have a cron script that plays music in the morning when I arrive at work.
in ~/.xalarm I have two lines, one that calls xterm and one that calls
mplayer and plays a series of music files in a playlist
crontab -l
has the following
# min hour day-of-month month day-of-week command
# 0-59 0-23 1-31 1-12 0-6 0=sun 1=mon
00 07 * * 1-5 ~/.xalarm /dev/null 21
30 07 * * 1-5 killall -9 /usr/local/bin/mplayer /dev/null 21
and
~/.xalarm has
#!/bin/sh
#
/usr/local/bin/xterm -display :0 -bg black -fg white \\
echo -e /usr/local/bin/mplayer -really-quiet -shuffle -playlist ~/.playlist
The music starts playing at 7:00 AM, but it does not stop at 7:30. I
have a similar setup at home and I did not notice, since I altered
root crontab to shutdown machine automatically at 6:00 am.
I check manually with top and see that mplayer runs and I try to kill
it from command line and I see that I am not the owner of that process
so nothing happens. I get the pid of the process and apply killall -9
pid but it does not do it either. How can I stop mplayer from playing
at 7:30 am?
should I edit ~/.xalarm and remove the xterm command since I have
xterm running before it calls out mplayer?
Thanks in Advance for suggestions/advice/comments in this matter.
Regards,
Antonio
