determine the nic pairs
Hi Enthusiast, I have a server which has around 20 nic interfaces. Some are connected port to port via cross cable and some are connected via a switch and few are not connected. (Let consider all are connected port to port) I want to find out the way so that I can determine the pairs efficiently. I assigned ip starting from 172.x.x.30 with netmask 255.255.255.0 I created as many sockets as there are interfaces with socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP) then I bind the all but one interfaces to the ip I gave using bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)in, sizeof(in)); where in is something like bzero(in, sizeof(in)); in.sin_family = AF_INET; in.sin_port = htons(2074); in.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(172.x.x.30+interfaceno); and one left socket I did socket creation and using setsockopt I did int option = 1; setsockopt(sockfd[counter], SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, option, sizeof(option)); and do sendto(sockfd, arr, sizeof(arr), 0, (struct sockaddr *)in, len); where in is bzero(in, sizeof(in)); in.sin_family = AF_INET; in.sin_port = htons(2074); in.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(172.x.x.255); Now I want to send the packet from one interface and who ever receive should be its partner. But when I do recvfrom for one socket it blocks and I am not able to implement timeout for it. select is not working as it need file discripter and socket call is returning struct socket. So how should I implement timeout in recvfrom or use there exist some equivalent of select for struct socket or any other way to implement this. PS: Ping is working fine in determining the pair but taking to much time. ___ 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

Wine-fbsd64 updated to 1.5.9 (32bit Wine for 64bit FreeBSD)
Hi, Packages [1] for wine-fbsd64-1.5.9 have been uploaded to mediafire [2]. The packages for FreeBSD 10 use the pkgng* [3] format. There are many reports that wine does not work with a clang compiled world (help in fixing this problem is appreciated as it affects quite a few users). The patch [4] for nVidia users is now included in the package and is run on installation (if the relevant files are accessible). Please read the installation messages for further information. Regards, David [1] MD5 (wine-1.5.x-freebsd8/wine-fbsd64-1.5.9,1.tbz) = dddaceda7c0dedd03e5f8531d9826966 MD5 (wine-1.5.x-freebsd9/wine-fbsd64-1.5.9,1.txz) = aec8afccdd6ac6928662d3be5f537195 MD5 (wine-1.5.x-freebsd10/wine-fbsd64-1.5.9,1.txz) = 9436b443844ac8bf52d9ead2de55cf33 [2] http://www.mediafire.com/wine_fbsd64 [3] http://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng [4] The patch is located at /usr/local/share/wine/patch-nvidia.sh * pkgng support for nVidia patching should be working properly and using a mixed mode between pkgng and pkg also works signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

This is a fantastic statement (I'm being serious, not facetious), because it really does. For specific purposes - serving static content with few bells and whistles, dedicated PHP application servers for custom apps and stuff like Drupal, I can't see ever going back to Apache. The nginx configs are too clean and too simple. For a large site with more complex authentication and access restriction needs that are handled by the web server, I wouldn't drift from Apache - not because I think nginx couldn't handle it but because I don't know if it could and because I am less comfortable with saying I did it properly with nginx than saying the same thing about Apache. kmw ___ 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

If you have, what has your experience been like? Was the change relatively easy? (I'm not intimidated by technical details. I've been running FreeBSD on these servers for about 12 years now.) Was the performance better? (We've not been having any problems with Apache to this point.) Is there sufficient support from addon apps to run a site with a php-driven forum? I have. 1/ regarding the difficulty of the switch It depends on whether or not you're running code parsing programs like CGI and PHP. It also depends on whether or not you're using apache rewrite rules. 2/ regarding performance I'm much more satisfied by nginx than I was by apache. I find it runs smoother, it's not vulnerable to slowloris... 3/ regarding functionality In constrast with Wojciech Puchar's email, I'd like to point out that while nginx doesn't support .htaccess files, you can still customize your vhosts to add authentication and such. ___ 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

(some immediately on first boot after install) They still boot fine, and run without problems, but I would like to find a way to fix the problem. Does anyone know how you can write a new GPT backup header to the partition table. I have even gone to the extent of adding a second virtual disk, using gpart to create a partition table and then add new partitions and setup bootstrap then use cpio to copy data over and switched the drive SCSI IDs within the virtual machines configuration to boot from the second drive instead. Still same error message when booting off the new drive. I did however leave out the size option when creating the last UFS partition so it may have filled to the end and overwrote the backup GPT table. I have searched online for a solution to recreating the backup GPT header from the main header, but I have been unable to find anything. Not sure if I am missing something simple, if no one else has had this problem, or if others are just ignoring it since their system works even with it? All the machines with the problem are VMware hosted machines, some on ESX, and some on VMware Workstations. Just a quick update in case someone else runs into this and finds this thread, this problem maybe related to a quirk of some sort in the older version of VMware workstation I am running on my work laptop its running version 6.5 (can't get boss to approve upgrade as the other admins have just decided its better to test on the ESX servers instead of their local machines, which I don't agree with) I had an urgent need to use a this machine to put a temporary work around in place on another problem and used vmware converter to migrate it from my workstation to the ESX servers. No more invalid backup GPT message when booting the one copy on the ESX servers. I am going to manually copy the files for this VM to the version 8 workstation installation on my home machine and see if that one does or doesn't show the warning on boot, to attempt to better narrow down this cause. -- Thanks, Dean E.
