Issues with Link Aggregation
Hello Freebsd-Questions, I have an Asus laptop running FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p4. I have successfully configured both the wired and wireless interfaces. They both work individually. I use the wireless interface more than the wired, so I have attempted to us link aggregation (LAGG) to tie the two together so either can be used when connected. lagg and iwn have been added into a custom compiled kernel. FreeBSD on this Asus uses alc0 for the wired interface and iwn(wlan0) for the wireless interface. The following is in my rc.conf: ifconfig_alc0="up" wlans_iwn0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="up wpa" cloned_interfaces="lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport wlan0 laggport alc0" ipv4_addrs_lagg0="192.168.2.90/24" defaultrouter="192.168.2.1" hostname="asus.local" Looking at various documentation shows this should support wlan0 as the master and alc0 as the failover. Everything is working like it should. However, every so often, I get messages on the console stating: alc0: phy read timeout : 0 alc0: phy read timeout : 17 alc0: phy read timeout : 1 ... alc0: phy read timeout : 1 Even though this is happening, there doesn't appear to be any issues. Can anyone shed light on why these messages are showing up? -- If at first you don't succeed, so much for skydiving." ___ 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"

Part II: Running SMP kernel but only one cpu
The bios in this old Micron dual PPro-180 full tower antique only initializes the second CPU if the machine is cold-booted. A simple 'reboot' results in a single processor machine regardless of the kernel that is launched. This fact -- unknown to me before last night -- was the source of a great deal of lost time!

Postfix is running here on a FreeBSD server as a boarder filter server. All bayes and per-user SpamAssassin settings are stored within a MySQL database on our SQL server. The web mail interface is SquirrelMail installed on a different FreeBSD server and has the sasql plugin interfaced to the MySQL server so the customers have control over what they want to set their spam score, whitelist, blacklist, whether they want bayes filtering, whether they want bayes autolearn and so forth.

I don't think it did anyway before, it was just trying to but I don't have IPv6 in my stack since I disable it in the kernel config, so it just ignored ipv6 after startup.

security patches and release number question
Hi, Question about patch numbers and applying patches: Last night, I got the openssl security advisory, and this morning am starting to patch my servers. I've always just done a "make build world; make build kernel; make install kernel; make install world" when I've need to patch. Today, however, I thought I would just try to do the patch on the openssl libs as described in the advisory. I think it worked just fine, but my question is this: How do I keep track of which systems I've patched if I just do a "patch < patchfile" instead of the whole world/kernel thing? uname -an still shows 6.2-RELEASE-p7 instead of "p8"; I use this to keep track of which servers I've patched and which I haven't. Is there a way to handle this?

When I install Free BSD and have it include Postfix from packages, does the install process completely replace Sendmail with Postfix, or do I still have to replace Sendmail with Postfix separately? Thanks in advance Jeff K If you install Postfix from the ports collection: /usr/ports/mail/postfix toward the end of the install process, it will ask you if you wish for the install to make changes in /etc/mail/mailer.conf. You tell it yes. If it did not ask, /etc/mail/mailer.conf should look like this: sendmail/usr/local/sbin/sendmail send-mail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail mailq /usr/local/sbin/sendmail newaliases /usr/local/sbin/sendmail This is what so-to-speak "plugs" Postfix into the OS. To totally disable SendMail from running at startup after a reboot, you have to make some additions to the /etc/rc.conf config file. Namely, you have to add: sendmail_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" Also, there are some periodic things that are ran which are SendMail specific that need to be disabled. That is done within /etc/periodic.conf as such: daily_clean_hoststat_enable="NO" daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO" daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO" daily_submit_queuerun="NO" O.K. This is something I have not been aware of. As far as MTA's on any system I am somewhat of a newbe. I do get regular e-mails to the root accounts of my various (four) systems when they are running constantly, (two are) and I have been wondering how a switch over will effect that. I will need to do a system specific configuration of postfix and define system specific aliases, prevent public use of the servers for open relaying and such. So I expect for a first timer I have my work cut out for me. Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Jeff K (I'm not looking to spam anyone) Postfix can use the existing /etc/aliases file. As this is getting to be more off-topic from FreeBSD, I would suggest subscribing to the Postfix mailing list: http://www.postfix.org/lists.html and poking around the archives. Also, the documentation is very well put together: http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html You may also want to consider grabbing a copy of "The book of postfix": http://nostarch.com/frameset.php?startat=postfix_rev It can be obtained either in paper or electronic format. I have the pdf sitting on my 'desktop' for a readily available reference. It has helped me out in answering a vast number of questions I had without the aide of the mailing list. -- _|_ (_| | ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

urgent sendmail question
Hello, I know if I poked around enough, I could find the answer, but am up against the wall here and need a quick solution. I just discovered a major problem with my sendmail configurations. Just recently started consolidating servers by virtual hosting apache, several servers on one box. Problem is that the web app sometimes send automated emails to users, and now they're getting bounced back because the emails are going out with "@fakename.mydomain.org" instead of "@mydomain.org". Since there is no DNS entry for "fakename.mydomain.org", recipient's mail servers are rejecting these emails from my servers. So I have an apache box, "fakename.mydomain.org", hosting 5 virtual hosts with unique domain names that do have public dns records.

Re: 550 5.7.1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Relaying denied
On Wed, 12 Sep 2007 at 06:48 +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED]: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 johan Hartono wrote: Yes, it is a very interesting topic I'd like to discuss next. I don't know why, in FreeBSD, even though you install postfix it will appears as sendmail. Will this become any problem? All of the available MTAs will do that, because the standard Unix API for an application to send e-mail is for that app to pipe the message into the STDIN of /usr/sbin/sendmail. Alternative MTAs have always therefore provided a high degree of sendmail compatibility and expect to have binaries either installed as or linked to /usr/sbin/sendmail. Unlike most other Unix or unix-oid systems, FreeBSD has a slightly more sophisticated variation on this. /usr/sbin/sendmail is actually a wrapper program and not Sendmail Brand sendmail(tm) at all -- see mailwrapper(8) for details. Simply by editing the configuration file /etc/mail/mailer.conf you can switch between sendmail-from-the-base-system, sendmail-from-ports, exim, postfix, qmail, ssmtp and probably half a dozen others. mailer.conf also covers a number of other sendmail related commands like newaliases(1) and hoststat(8). The sendmail binary provided by the base system is installed as /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail Correct. And if you install Postfix from the ports collection, it will ask you if you want Postfix installed into the mailer.conf. Therefore, if the OP did not install through the ports, the mailer.conf might not have been changed. Either way, the logs the OP was showing are not Posfix. I just did a quick test from a terminal using sendmail and this is what it looks like: Sep 12 11:54:11 duane postfix/local[71012]: 673D66D437: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, orig_to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=7.8, delays=7.7/0.02/0/0.02, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) None of the logs that were shown bare the Postfix name. -- _|_ (_| | ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

fatal double fault (spinlock)
We have a Dell PowerEdge 6850 with four 3ghz Intel dual core Xeon processors and 12 gig ram. It is running FreeBSD 5.5-RELEASE-p15 amd64. SMP has been compiled into the kernel. However, machdep.hyperthreading_allowed has been set to zero(0) in /etc/sysctrl.conf. Once about every 1.5 to 2 weeks, the server throws the error: fatal double fault cpuid=15 spinlock sched lock held by 0xff032f3c1500 > 5 seconds This server is located in a colo many miles away. I had to have a person at the colo facility read off the message that was on the screen. I hope it is exact (or at least close). This server is one of our main spam filter servers.

emacs22 and portsdb
Hello, We've been having a problem with generating the ports Index ever since upgrading to emacs22. As per /usr/ports/UPDATING, we added EMACS_PORT_NAME=*emacs22* to /etc/make.conf Everything went fine. Now running emacs22. But ever since, our daily routine of cvsup'ing and portsdb -Uu has gone south, first with this error: lsdb-*emacs22*-0.10_1: "/usr/ports/editors/flim-*emacs22*" non-existent -- dependency list incomplete ===> devel/lsdb failed *** Error code 1 1 error and now today this: Updating the ports index ...

Perhaps we should be doing a "portsdb -Fu" instead of "-Uu"? (that works when I tried it) I'm not sure, because according to the portsdb manpage, "If you define special macros in /etc/make.conf and the dependency of some ports are changed, you should create INDEX by yourself by using this option. Otherwise, using -F option is recommended since it is much faster." but we do have that "EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs22" in /etc/make.conf, so I'm not sure. We are also not sure what the implications are of doing a "portupgrade -a" or "portinstall" after after a failed portsdb. Some of our ports are getting out of date, and we're not sure what to do. Also, I'm not sure if "EMACS_PORT_NAME=emacs22" even needs to stay in /etc/make.conf after upgrading. I just did a fresh install of FreeBSD a new server yesterday, and emacs22 was installed by default when I did my "portinstall emacs" anyway, so is there any sense in keeping it in make.conf on boxes where I've upgraded? On one test machine, I took that line out /etc/make.conf, and portsdb -Uu works again, so any guidance on this topic would also be appreciated.

VPS, Colocation, Dedicated
Hello, I am looking for any sort of insight, experience from anybody who uses VPS technology to substitute for managing their own infrastructure and servers for business apps. We are looking at different options to unload some of the burden of supporting a network and server infrastructure that is composed of 50+ FreeBSD servers. The concept of VPS technology has been put on the table, along with co-lo and dedicated server options. Web hosting is right out of the question. Requirements: 1. We need to have servers take over the role of the 30+ web servers, which run apache and mzscheme webapps. These web servers to talk to 2+ postgresql databases on seperate servers. 2. The data on the pgsql databases is of a sensitive nature, so it needs to be secured in part by keeping these servers on a separate network segment, accessible only by the web servers, using stunnel encryption. 3. All servers should have some form of firewall protection, either locally (software) or on the network. Preferably network. 4. If using VPS, the FreeBSD image should look and feel just as if we installed it ourselves from scratch, starting off barebones and installing only the apps and services we need. 5. Web server disk space needs to be 10GB. Can scale back to 5GB if ports are kept off the server and compiled offline then synced up. 6. One of our database servers is utilizing 33GB of disk space at the moment, so we would need at least 50GB per server. Findings: I have found about 4-5 providers who offer FreeBSD VSP's. I've evaluated 2: JohnCompanies and Verio. 1. JohnCompanies' VPS image was nearly exactly what I'm looking for -- started off barebones, and I had to do the rest. Just like in my server room. But disk space was abysmal $29/month for 2GB or $69/month for 8GB. 2. Verios turned me off right away between high-pressure sales tactics and an evaluation that saw a base image loaded with crap like it was a Linux or worse, a Windows box: NAS audio server, mp3 player, a default Apache 2.2 install (who said I want 2.2?), that wasn't a port, but built-in shared app! PHP, Xridiculous. 3. Nobody seems to include any sort of firewall protection -- just throw the server out in the public DMZ, and then there is no option to protect database servers on a private subnet. Not even ipfw is included. Verios told me that their FreeBSD images cannot firewall, but their Linux images can, and then tried to pressure me into just converting to Linux. Sorry, they're off the list now. Summary: I really don't think VPS technology can scale to our requirements or meet the specs we need, in resources or security. Their are other in my group who wanted to investigate VPS technology because of the notion that it is more secure. For instance, there is the concept that because it is "virtual", and more hidden, it would be more difficult for an employee at our provider to get at the data, whereas if we colocated, they could just pull a hard drive and get at the data. Personally, I think it would be easier to hi-jack a VMware session or image that it would be to get through security, and into a locked cabinet at a colo facility and reboot into single user mode or yank out a disk in a RAID array to get to the data. But I'm still willing to be proven wrong, and if anybody can tell me that there is a good VPS provider who can meet these needs, I'm all ears, but otherwise, I'm leaning towards colocation as the best solution. (Also, I should mention we already own the hardware -- servers for all -- why not leverage that investment?) Thanks for any feedback! - Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?

Can I change the ssh port on a live server somehow without getting locked out? The server is on a remote co-location a flight away from me. Yes you can. SSH will keep your connection active until you log out, then you can log in using the new port I will add the fact you will want to keep the current connection live and test after you make the change with a new connection.
