RELEASE-8.1 with heavy network activity (nginx + php-fpm)

[Adam PAPAI]

I have a FreeBSD box with 8.1.

It seems we hit the limits for the maximum network connections, because 
I always see this message in the nginx-error.log:


2011/07/08 08:48:40 [error] 40438#0: *30564045 kevent() reported that 
connect() failed (54: Connection reset by peer) while connecting to 
upstream, client: 188.36.171.27, server: netadclick.com, request: "GET 
/hirdetes/148 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: 
"www.netadclick.com", referrer: "http://www.netadclick.com/hirdetes/148";
2011/07/08 08:48:41 [error] 40438#0: *30564021 writev() failed (54:

"www.netadclick.com", referrer: 
"http://www.freespirit.hu/szex/durva_ezert_ne_hordj_tangat";


The Box has approximately: 35,000 - 65,000 connections at the same time:

In the early morning it has 45,564 connections:

netstat -n | grep '^tcp4' | wc -l
45564


The system runs correctly for a few minutes, and after it's reaching 
"some" limits, all connections are reset (Connection reset by peer, the 
error log is filled with thousands of Connection reset by peer message) 
and it starts working correctly again for another few minutes.


I've tuned some variables like:

kern.ipc.shmall=32768
kern.ipc.shmmax=134217728
kern.ipc.semmap=256
net.inet.ip.maxfragpackets=1600
kern.threads.max_threads_per_proc=4096

net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_auto=0
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=65535
net.inet.ip.portrange.randomized=0
net.inet.ip.intr_queue_maxlen=4096

kern.ipc.semmnu=1024
kern.ipc.maxsockets=65536
kern.maxproc=12328
kern.ipc.shmmax=2147483648
kern.ipc.somaxconn=4096
net.inet.tcp.hostcache.cachelimit=65532


What should I do? Any ideas? Any tuning tips?

Thanks in advance,

The first one that fails is looking for /etc/named.conf.  The second one shows 
its in /var/named/etc/named/named.conf


Those are different locations.  I suspect you have named_flags setup in rc.conf 
pointing to /etc/namedb/named.conf rather than the right location.  Its also 
possible that its not set in rc.conf but defaults in either the rc script or 
/etc/rc.d/named.  On my system it appears to default in 
/etc/rc.d/named.___

FreeBSD defaults to running named chrooted.  /etc/namedb is actually a
symbolic link:

% ls -la /etc/namedb
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  21 Jul  6 06:24 /etc/namedb@ ->
/var/named/etc/namedb

so the files referenced are in fact exactly the same file.  However, the
flags from the log extract don't look like the defaults to me.  (I'm
running the dns/bind98 port, and the equivalent info from the log line
is '-t /var/named -u bind')

Gary, what named related settings do you have in /etc/rc.conf?  You
almost certainly don't need anything more than:

named_enable="YES"

and perhaps

syslogd_flags="-ss -l /var/named/var/run/log"

so named can log to the system syslog.

Cheers,

Matthew

I've had some trouble netbooting / jumpstaring recently with a similar
pattern (using RARP/BOOTP/TFTP/NFS). It turned out to be a dying
port on the switch whose errors were masked by TCP in day to day
use, but alas were too frequent for UDP.

hi there,

i've assigned your PR to Edwin Groothuis, who has been dealing with ncal(1) a
lot lately. I think chances are pretty high he's going to commit your patch
this month.

cheers.

I just have a direct ethernet connection
between my FreeBSD laptop with bootpd/tftpd
servers (one ethernet port only) and a node
which I want to boot (also a single ethernet
port). Is there way for me to check whether
either of these ports are "dying"?
Any further diagnostics I can do?

Many thanks
Anton

How big is bsd.rd.IP32?  Does the BUGS section of tftpd(8) apply?

If so, try ftp/tftp-hpa.  It's faster, too, AFAIR.

I was able to work around this by:

1) Uninstalling spamassassin and perl 5.12
2) Upgrading to perl 5.14
3) Running perl-after-upgrade
4) Reinstalling spamassassin

I still cannot build remmina.  There seems to be some hocus pocus having to do 
with missing
dependent perl XML parser libs.


Sigh.  I can't wait until the planet either: a) Migrates 100% to python or b) 
Learns to do
batteries included packaging like python.

That is not exactly the method prescribed in UPDATING:


20110517:
  AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*
  AUTHOR: s...@freebsd.org

  lang/perl5.14 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
  lang/perl5.12, that is:

  Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff

1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.14):
env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.14 -f perl-5.12.\*

2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl

  Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.14 lang/perl5.12

Conservative:
portmaster p5-

Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
portmaster -r perl-

  Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to
specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.



I used the "portupgrade" method without incident. From what I have been
told, "perl-after-upgrade" != "env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o 
lang/perl5.14 -f perl-5.12.\*"

As always, YMMV!

The first one that fails is looking for /etc/named.conf.  The second
one shows its in /var/named/etc/named/named.conf



Those are different locations.  I suspect you have named_flags setup
in rc.conf pointing to /etc/namedb/named.conf rather than the right
location.  Its also possible that its not set in rc.conf but defaults
in either the rc script or /etc/rc.d/named.  On my system it appears
to default in /etc/rc.d/named.


FreeBSD defaults to running named chrooted.  /etc/namedb is actually a
symbolic link:

% ls -la /etc/namedb
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  21 Jul  6 06:24 /etc/namedb@ ->
/var/named/etc/namedb

so the files referenced are in fact exactly the same file.


Actually

/etc/named.conf

is NOT the same as

/etc/namedb/named.conf ergo it is not the same as /var/named/etc/ 
namedb/named.conf


Gary, add

named_flags="-c /etc/namedb/named.conf"

to /etc/rc.conf.  Or change /etc/namedb/named.conf to the /var  
version if you like/there is no symlink.


Dan




  However, the
flags from the log extract don't look like the defaults to me.  (I'm
running the dns/bind98 port, and the equivalent info from the log line
is '-t /var/named -u bind')

Gary, what named related settings do you have in /etc/rc.conf?  You
almost certainly don't need anything more than:

named_enable="YES"

and perhaps

syslogd_flags="-ss -l /var/named/var/run/log"

so named can log to the system syslog.

Matthew

import users from LDAP to local password file (pwd.db)

[Frank Bonnet]

Hello

I need to import the necessary users's data  from an OpenLDAP directory 
server

to put them in the local password files , anyone has done this before ?

The machine use nss_ldap and pam_ldap to authenticate users but for 
robustness
during the holidays I would like to have a local password file on this 
machine which

is our mailhub.

The OpenLDAP server runs on another machine and if it fails during 
holidays I want
my mailhub to be standalone for authentication in order to let email 
service running

even the directory server crash.

Thanks

Just a quick note/correction for whomever edits the web page:

[SADM-IT Officer (HAL)]

On the installation pages describing the process to make a USB installation, 
you reference downloading win32-image-writer for making a USB from Windows. 
Your link points to http://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/, which is actually 
(or is now) https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/. I'm not sure why it 
would change to HTTPS, but I thought it might be worth changing on the web 
site. :)

Hi,
Nice of you to try to file a bug report, 
but writing to this list will not get it fixed,
as you'r just writing to list 

Please:
1 give precise web ref = URL of bug you refer to
2 choose correct list to write to (if you even need a list)
Look at list of mail lists 
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo
   Maybe you want USB list or some other ? Or ...
3 Main Thing, Do file a bug report
  Either use send-pr or

EXABYTE 8200 on FreeBSD 5.3

[Scott Ballantyne]

I know this is ancient technology, but we have a pile of exabyte tapes
made on an 8200 and would like to recover some of the data on them.

We have an old 5.3 machine which has an adaptec 2120S, and the Exabyte
is connected to that. The kernel identifies the Exabyte on boot, but
it's all downhill after that.

The driver sometimes spits out a pile of errors (I'll append a sample
at the end) and mt doesn't seem to do simple commands (like a retension).

I note that the MT page for 5.3 says that not all SCSI-1 devices are
supported. So before I invest more time in this, I am wondering if
anyone can tell if the support is there for this configuration?

If not, what (inexpensive) options do I have for possibly retrieving
this data?

Thanks a lot,
Scott

 You can try with getent(1) passwd and see if you can work with the output

You're right, of course - I ordinarily do this when I upgrade

LDAP servers usually don't allow clients to see the raw password hash. 
Authentication checks are done by binding as the requested user, so the
calling app doesn't have a chance to grab the hash and do an offline
brute-force attack on it.

To ensure LDAP availability, the usual thing to do is set up multiple
servers with LDAP replication between them, and configure your client's
ldap.conf to use all of them (or use carp or some other IP management app to
provide a single "always-up" IP address).

I hit that one a few days ago. Haven't solved it.

If it's an option for you, you can compile Python without GNU Pth support.
This will solve your uwsgi installation problem.

Re: Mouse Problems.

[Lokadamus]

Put in your rc.conf this:
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"

reboot your system or start it with:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus start

then your mouse and keybord should working.

There is a port here, created by Sevan Janiyan:

I don't know whether or not it's been submitted to ports yet, but I'd
be interested to see if you get it up and running. Report back with

Status report. I don't have it working yet but:

1) My NMS requires the use of a proxy to access the web. Configuring
   the proxy is an adventure which I didn't find well documented.

   The key proxy configuration point is in the Java installation but
   it appears not to be the only configuration point. Consequently,
   after humming along downloading and installing Java files the
   process hit another snag.

   I haven't had the chance to chase down which tool and which
   configuration point needs to change. This is a show stopper.

2) OpenNMS requires Postgres. I have a SQL infrastructure and I am
   loath to install yet-another SQL server regardless of its
   wonderfulness, but I have installed it.

openldap24-sasl-client preventing kde4 from installing

Hm..  i understand most of this.  grep -r from /etc found something
i've never uderstood.  "chroot" stuff.  to me, root is always / and
root's home is /rrot.  I've never dug deeper.  here is the named
stuff in /etc/defaults dir:




named_enable="NO"   # Run named, the DNS server (or NO).
named_program="/usr/sbin/named" # Path to named, if you want a different one.
#named_flags="-c /etc/namedb/named.conf" # Uncomment for named not in /usr/sbin
named_pidfile="/var/run/named/pid" # Must set this in named.conf as well
named_uid="bind"# User to run named as
named_chrootdir="/var/named"# Chroot directory (or "" not to auto-chroot it)
named_chroot_autoupdate="YES"   # Automatically install/update chrooted
# components of named. See /etc/rc.d/named.
named_symlink_enable="YES"  # Symlink the chrooted pid file


in my /etc/rc.conf file are the 3 named lines:


named_enable="YES"
named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named"
named_pidfile="/var/run/named/pid"


I dont see anything here that could be messing me up unless by using
the default lines, something is going waaay South. 

Lastly, has the /etc/rc.d/named script changed in the past year or
two?

i was using bind98 rather than the earlier bind9 which is out of
date.  but bind98 gave me troubles with the rndc.key and other, so i
chose to go back  with what worked.  --first thing is to get this
working with the older bind9.  FWIW, both bind9's  given me the same 
error and failure.  i have walked thru the named script to the point
where it creates the symlink.  regardless, i cannot understand the
error and failure messages.  i only know that my kill -9 and my 
initialization "by hand" work.

Hi Scott,

Do any of these links help?

http://cis.kutztown.edu/~frye/cgi-bin/unixManPages.cgi?st+7D
http://h2.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=115&prodSeriesId=63988&prodTypeId=12169&objectID=lpg51061
http://www.sunmanagers.org/archives/1995/0984.html

There were also a couple hits to the drivers if those would help.

Thanks,

William

Dan! I think you fixed something.  I haven't figured this
out yet, and would be grateful if you could decode this in
/var/log/messages::

This, after I added your named_flags line into /etc/rc.conf.  
Where I get lost is *what* gives me that "none:0" lines??
I see the same or worse err when I drop in bind98.  IIRC, 
named does run, but the messages log is fulll of rndc.key 
error messages that I just cannot understand.  _Now_, having
dropped in your named_flags line, I am seeing something
similar.

I haved grepped thru the entire /etc/ tree and haven't found
anything that explains where I messed up

Ideas?

thanks to you or anybody else onlist.

I actually made it general (although I definitely should have pointed out the 
instance I was looking at) on purpose; I find that in instruction sets such as 
these there are often multiple sets of instructions. Either way, I'm glad you 
were able to see it, just trying to help. :)

As Julian Stacey notes, an exact pointer to the mistake helps.  There's 
a lot of FreeBSD docs, and a lot of people working on them.  I'm 
familiar with this one, so I entered a PR for it.

Thanks!

Color Spills Over From SSH Session

[David Krauser]

Hello everybody,

I've tried to setup a kind of 'dedicated ssh client' using FreeBSD, and 
I'm having some issues with the terminal colors.


I have a basic install of FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE (I only had kernel-dev 
packages checked at installation) and I rebuilt the GENERIC kernel with 
the VESA and SC_PIXEL_MODE options enabled (for a high resolution 
terminal).


Now here's the problem: when I ssh into another box and issue a command 
with colors (like vim's syntax hilighting or a colored ls) the primary 
color of the terminal will change. I'm often left with a crazy colored and 
hard to read bash prompt (all in the ssh session). When I exit the session 
back to FreeBSD, the colors persist. I have to use the command 'reset' to 
fix the issue.


I believe my primary FreeBSD shell is csh (it's whatever the default is in 
FreeBSD) and I'm not sure if it can handle colors or if it has them 
enabled. I generally ssh into a bash shell.


I'm really a newcomer with FreeBSD, and any help would be greatly 
appreciated.


Thanks a bunch,

David Krauser

Are you sshing from the console or an xterm?  If it's from the console, 
it should be cons25, and if it's from an xterm it should be xterm or 
xterm-color.  You might have the .cshrc on the other box forcing it to 
something that it's not.  On the FreeBSD box, run `echo $TERM` and note 
what it says, then ssh into the other box and run it again.  They're 
probably different.


It's probably not the FreeBSD box, but the other box doesn't know what 
you're using.
