This server is very lightly used, so most of the time if the swap is getting used it shows that something is going wrong. This warning already proved usefull once, so I don't think I'm going to change it. I don't want to mess with the kernel actions, but there was no reason to keep this in swap. I understand that the kernel can't know that, that's why I wanted to know the way to reset the swap. There is always a lot of free or inactive RAM and, in normal condition, the swap should not be used. It's been like that for months, so I think it's a good idea to be notified if the swap is used.

Re: Snow in my Server
Help, I'm in southern Ontario and I have 20cm of snow on my freebsd 7-release server. IT seems to be causeing some http outages. My FBSD 6-.0 doesn't seem to be affected thou. You probably can't use a standard 7-release. You have to build a custom kernel with LATITUDE set. It causes igloo to get built and installed for environments above 46, should work in both hemispheres. We don't use igloo but do turn on the snow-fence option for ipfw. Keeps most of that kind of unwanted traffic out. BTW, make sure any remote reboots / changes are well tested if you're running igloo.

hardware compatibility question: intel e7200 + foxconn g31mg-s mobo
After having been burned with an AMD cpu/mobo combination that wouldn't run 6.x reliabably which I consequently had to sell, I'm going to ask first. My search of the archives (questions and hardware) came up empty, but that seems likely given that both say their archive index was last updated clear back in Feb of 2007, despite the note saying they are updated every 24 hours... Can anyone vouch for running 6.x or 7.0 on an intel e7200 with a foxconn g31mg-s mobo?

Re: ports missing their packages.
andrew clarke mail_ozzmosis.com said (on 2008/10/29): You need to understand that the FreeBSD project by its nature is primarily source-code driven. Making packages available (of any port) is of very low priority in comparison to the rest of the system (testing, documentation, etc). Demanding that the FreeBSD volunteers build a package just because you want to use it is a bit unfair, particularly when you can make one yourself without much trouble. I'm not sure I got all the emails in this thread... maybe some just haven't arrived yet. Anyway... I, for one, depend on packages.

You need to keep your MaxClients setting limited to what your system can run under high load; generally the amount of system memory is the governing factor.

According to top, we have about 2G of Inactive RAM with 1,5G Active (4G total RAM with amd64). Swapping is not a problem in this case. After checking multiple things (MySQL, networks, CPU, RAM) when a drop occurs, we determined that everytimes there is drop, the number is Apache's process is MaxClients (ps aux | grep httpd | wc -l) and the new http request doesn't get answer from Apache (the TCP hanshakes completes but Apache never push the data). Thanks for your reply! For a rough starting point, divide system RAM by httpd's typical resident memory size.

Re: Multiple installation of one ports
Matthew Seaman a écrit :
FreeBSD wrote:
Hi everyone,
I've been asked by a customer to install Drupal on one server to
manage a new site. No problem yet. But, he also asked if it would be
possible to install it for other sites.
I know that there is a warning if you want to install a port that is
already installed, but is there a way to bypass this? I know I could
install it from the tarball from the website, but I want to be able
to use portupgrade and portaudit to deal with it.
Any suggestions?
This is an interesting problem. The FreeBSD ports system does not at
present allow multiple installations of the same port, even into
different ${PREFIX}es. This make sense for most of the software dealt
with by the ports system, but in the specific case of web based
applications having the same application installed into multiple
locations
in the same web tree is a perfectly reasonable thing to want to do.
Here are some ideas as to ways you might consider for working round the
problem and still being able to use the ports system in the usual way.
None of these are tested by me in any way, and some of them may not
actually work.
i) If you have spare IPs available, simply set up jails to run
second and subsequent instances of drupal and apache. This is
pretty much overkill but it's a tried and tested strategy and
should be reliable.
The downside is you need to install at least enough of a system in
each jail to support running apache, etc. plus you have to maintain
each of the different jail environments separately.
ii) If you haven't any spare IPs, you can install multiple copies of
the same port on the same machine by changing *both* $PKG_DBDIR
and $PREFIX in the environment to distinct values for each copy.
Unfortunately changing $PREFIX doesn't give you complete freedom
to choose where a web app will be installed -- typically a web app
will be located at ${PREFIX}/www/app-name. However by judicious
use of the Alias directive in httpd.conf you can make all those
different directories appear in the same web tree. Like option
(i) you've still got multiple copies of ports to maintain, although
in this case, it's only the drupal port and anything that depends
on drupal that you need multiple copies of, rather than the entire
installation tree of ports.
iii) A kind of wacky idea this, and it will only work for web apps whose
configuration files are contained within the web root. That's
true of most PHP based web apps -- other languages may differ.
Install the port once only, in the normal fashion. Then create
loopback mounts of the application directory multiple time, each to
a union fs (see mount_unionfs(8)) where you superpose a separate
layer to contain just the configuration files for that instance.
It's conceptually complicated, but all the work should be at the
setup stage and after that, there's only one instance of your web
app to keep properly maintained.
iv) I've no idea if this is at all possible with Drupal, but really
the absolute easiest solution is to choose a CMS that lets you
manage several different web sites (virtual hosts, web trees, what
you will) within the same instance.
Cheers,
Matthew
As usual, a very complete answer! Every time I see your name, I'm sure
to find a clear and pertinent answer. Thanks for your support to the
community.
As you outlined in your fourth possibility, I will go with the easiest
solution. For web-based apps, I will install them directly, without
using the ports if I have to run multiple instance of the same app. In
this case, Drupal supports multiple sites so that's not a problem, but I
heard that Joomla didn't support this.
Thank you and to everyone else that replied,

use portupgrade and portaudit to deal with it.
I've done this in the past with Gallery and it looks like Drupal should be
workable too. The thing to do is to make either a clone port or a slave
port of the original and tweak a few things. In particular you'll want to
add some sort of suffix to the port name and change the installation
directory.
For example, you could make a directory called ports/www/drupal6-customer
and drop this in its Makefile:
PKGNAMESUFFIX=-${CUSTNAME}
DRUPAL_BASE=drupal6-${CUSTNAME}
.include ../drupal6/Makefile
You could then do things like
# cd /usr/ports/www/drupal6-customer
# make CUSTNAME=foo install clean
# make CUSTNAME=bar install clean
which would (with any luck) create independent installations of drupal
under /usr/local/www/drupal6-foo and /usr/local/www/drupal6-bar. Or if
you didn't want to worry about defining CUSTNAME all the time (or the
desired name/location won't follow a predictable pattern) you could make
a different slave port for each installation and hard-code the two
values. I haven't tested any of this other than some quick verification
of variables using make -V.
HTH. If you have specific questions about port mechanics the ports@ list
might be the best place to ask. See also the Porter's Handbook:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/

That's a pretty interesting idea...I'll keep it in the back of my head.

Multiple installation of one ports

Re: Multiple installation of one ports
Gavin Spomer a écrit : Hi Martin, You want to install multiple sites on one server or multiple servers? One server only If the former, there is a solution for you at: http://drupal.org/getting-started/6/install/multi-site That would solve my problem in that case... I have yet to try this, but will likely give it a shot some day... If the latter, are your other systems FreeBSD? If so, (and forgive me if I'm telling you something you already know) you simply need to run portupgrade/portaudit on those systems. If, for example, it's some Linux distrobution, see if it has a package management software that will handle installing and upgrading Drupal. In all cases, portupgrade will not do everything for you. You still may have to run update.php sometimes if a particular update needs to have databases changes. Ok but my question was more focusing on the handling of multiple installation of the same port by portupgrade. If it's possible to install the same port multiple times, how is portupgrade going to deal with this? Thanks for your response!

How to compare 2 images from command line
Hi everyone, I'm trying to determine if 2 jpeg images are identical. The images are screenshots taken with scrot at different times. The point is to know if the display is working correctly. I tried to use 'diff' but without success, probably because of the metadata included in the image. I also tried the 'compare' command from imagemagick, but it produce an image containing the difference between the 2 images instead of telling me if both images are identical. So, my question is what are you using to determine if 2 images are identical? I'm using FreeBSD 7.0 and I need to be able to script this comparaison for an integration in Nagios.

Before I read this I was going to suggest you could try removing the metadata using something like jhead. As it turns out, you say you're using PNG format images, not JPEGs, but perhaps there's an equivalent to jhead to work with metadata in PNG files - just as an alternative to converting each PNG to BMP (which could be CPU intensive). Regards Andrew Thank you for your almost-suggestion ;) The screenshot are taken once every 5 minutes and the conversion was pretty instant. I don't think it will be a problem in our case.

Switching to IPv6?
I've been considering switching my home network to IPv6. I have a computer acting as a firewall sitting between my ISP and my three LANs at home. Of course, my DSL provider gives me an IPv4 address, and everything I want to access on the Internet is on an IPv4 network. The whole point is to learn to set up IPv6, to play with IPv6, and to become familiar with it, so when the day comes that the world actually uses IPv6 (ha ha) I'm ready, armed with knowledge. But the whole idea will go to pot if my firewall can't let my IPv6 networks access my IPv4 Internet connection. Does FreeBSD 7 provide such facilities as to allow access to an IPv4 network from an IPv6 network? What will my Vista, XP, and FreeBSD clients do if they only have an IPv6 address and I try to go to google.com or freebsd.org which are on IPv4 networks? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My setup was a firewall/gateway consisting of more than 1 machine using freevrrpd thus enabling failover for the firewall/gateway. I write firewall and not firewalls since freevrrpd creates a virtual ip that is failover'ed between the machines. On the firewall/gateway pen were running and pointed towards the web servers. Pen can point at as many web servers as you like and balances the load between them in a very simple way. If the web servers are identical in setup they become redundant. DNS loadbalancing is very similar. Good luck! /Roger I don't have any experience yet with it but I'm planning on using CARP with PF to do redondant gateways. You can do round-robin RDR with PF to distribute the load. You can even put the same server IP more than one time in the list to forward more traffic to this server!

Re: The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System
Yet your point is completly valid one.. and that's why The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System is the only book that I've been hesitant on buying so far ... Lucas (Absolute FreeBSD, 2nd Edition), Lavigne (The Best of FreeBSD Basics), Kong (BSD rootkits), Lehey (Download edition:) ) are all over my desktop as I write this mail, and I consult them daily ... Farrokhi (Network Administration with FreeBSD) and Hong (Building a Server with FreeBSD 7) are the ones coming in the next batch ... Has anyone on the list read Building a Server with FreeBSD 7: A Modular Approach? The description on bookpool.com makes it sound a little basic/superficial, covering topics such as how to install FreeBSD and how to install/configure programs via the ports. I'm already very familiar with these topics; does anyone know if this book covers more advanced topics or details like the nitty-gritty of configuing sendmail, apache, samba, NFS, etc? And what about Absolute FreeBSD? It's updated for FreeBSD 7, so I know it's current. Is it a good book? Is it worth the read? How valuable is its content? (I know I'm asking some very subjective questions, but if I'm going to spend hundreds of $$$ to build my library in this area, I'd like at least a couple of opinions about the books I buy.) So far .. there are only three books I would have bought but I didn't because I thought the situation could improve ... those are: The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System, BSD Hacks and The FreeBSD HandBook... same reason for all of them .. too old by now (although I think I'll buy BSD Hacks anyways .. I just can't resist buying Lavigne books :( ) Personally, I don't think I'd ever buy The FreeBSD Handbook. It's a really good resource, but as long as it's actively updated electronically it's too dynamic to buy a hardcopy. I'd much rather read it online where I can get the latest revisions.

Move data from 3ware RAID-1 disk to MB disk
Hi, I have FreeBSD 7.0 with 3ware 8006-2LP RAID-1 controller hosted at hetzner.de. Now I want remove 3ware controller, and to stay with motherboard controller. Is it possible to do without data loss? I suggest to move one disk to motherboard controller, than boot via LAN to Linux rescue, and than do dd from 3ware to MB disk. Is it possible to do so or I will copy 3ware RAID table, and MB disk will not be bootable?

Perl not creating symlink when installed from package
Hi everyone, I have a problem with perl-5.8.8_1.

[...] But, when I install the package created with 'make package-recursive clean', it didn't create those symlinks. So, the dependencies that rely on perl and expect to find it in /usr/bin/perl can't find it and the installation fails. Did someone have any information on this issue?

Hello everyone, With FreeBSD 6.2-Release, I added the option NO_OPENSSH=true in the make.conf I use to build jails.

Re: how to exec a process in a jail while being on the main host?
Try `jexec JID 'command'` man jexec for more details... You can obtain the JID of your jails with the command `jls` Martin Artem Kuchin a écrit : For example, i have an already runing jail with some JID and i am logged in on the main host (which runs the jail). How can i run a new process inside the jail with a known JID w/o ssh-ing into that jail or doing a lot of strange manupulations? I am asking, because i have about 20 jails running and each has a running special control daemon which changes a lot and often.

Re: Local package mirror
Hello Lowell, Thank you so much for the reply. I am trying to do the build once and use prebuilt packages for the target boxes. However the problem I am facing is a bit crude. Lets assume I am trying to build pkgA which has dependencies of pkgB and pkgC. The process I am following is cd /usr/ports/xxx/pkgA ; make package. This makes the prebuilt package in /usr/ports/ packages. However it does not case about pkgB which is a dependency. On a target system when I am trying to pkg_add it, it is rightly complaining about a missing dependency and also saying that it cant find the package in the local repository and aborting. How can this be taken care of? Thanks Subhro Hello, Correct me if I'm wrong but all you need to do is to make package-recursive instead of make package for your pkgA. It will make a package for all the dependencies of pkgA.

For the base system approach, with pkg_add(1), setting PACKAGEROOT (or possibly PACKAGESITE depending on exactly how you configure the server for network fetch, or PKG_PATH if the clients have the NFS directory mounted) should be good enough. On the other hand, the way I do it is to have a master server, where I build everything (or fetch everything, if I don't want to build it myself). Then the other machines mount /usr/ports from the master server. I use portupgrade to do the installs from the clients, which knows how to use packages when available locally and only fetch them if they aren't.

Re: FreeBSD Traffic Shaping
I think you guys went a bit on a tangent here. What I am trying to do is limit the outbound bandwidth of my services and this should be perfectly possible as I control the output. Also, the reason for this need is that some services use burst-bandwidth and I have many peaks and lows throughout the day. This means that my carrier who bills me by the 95th percentile is having a field day. For the services that my server offers it's not imperative that they get rid of the client in 1 second instead of 5 for example. In this sense, stretching out 1MB of traffic over 10 seconds is more beneficial towards my 95th than if I stretch it over 2 seconds for example.

I can easily generate 200 clients being only one person. That's why the focus in bandwidth shapers lies on the type of traffic and the origin/destination rather then the state and they divide the bandwidth within those pipes between the states. Secondly - bit besides the point, but not many people think about it - if you have 100% available and limit a single person to 5%, you're more likely to end up at the 100%, simply because it takes more time for that person to get what he wants. So if there's no financial/legal issues involved, it's better to get rid of the clients as fast as possible. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It sounds quite useful to me :) I have personally tried that before and it did not worked as described, in fact it didn't work at all to limit anything on FBSD6. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Cowart Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 7:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD Traffic Shaping [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am trying to limit the bandwidth available to some connections and I'm not sure FreeBSD can handle this.

The ipfw(8) man page describes a mask configuration parameter. # /sbin/ipfw pipe 1 config mask src-ip 0x bw 56Kbit/s This creates a separate dynamic pipe per source ip address. Each pipe has a dedicated 56kbps. The man page implies that the mask can combine fields, so to uniquely identify each connection, you would mask all bits of source and destination IP and ports. It looks like the all keyword might do just the trick. -- Chris Cowart Network Technical Lead Network Infrastructure Services, RSSP-IT UC Berkeley ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FreeBSD Traffic Shaping
As far as I know, every carrier bills by 95th percentile. This particular server is colocated and the bandwidth average is 2.35mbps while the 95th is 3.7mbps. I don't want my clients to have to compete for bandwidth - if 1000 users share a 3mbps fixed pipe, they will each get 3k/sec -. Rather I want to guarantee a fixed output for each client. This ensures adequate speed for everyone AND flattens out my peaks. Quoting Mel [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Wednesday 02 April 2008 14:21:38 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Also, the reason for this need is that some services use burst-bandwidth and I have many peaks and lows throughout the day. This means that my carrier who bills me by the 95th percentile is having a field day. He bills by the second or average hour like most people? It's not as black and white as it seems - you also get higher average when the number of connections increases, not just the bandwidth they consume. I think you'll find that bursts are best counteracted like this: http://www.probsd.net/pf/index.php/Hednod%27s_HFSC_explained#Tips.2FIdeas This seperates 'downloads' from 'webpages', 'normal mails' from 'attachments' and you can then tune accordingly, if you have/get some graph. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mirroring / Cloning FreeBSD System
I have a question on how to mirror a FreeBSD installation / system. This environment will have two identical / separate systems referred to as System A and System B - I want to install FreeBSD on to System A - Once that installation is complete with selected ports and custom applications, I want to make an exact duplicate of System A on System B I dont want to do this with drives in the same system, rather I would like to clone System A Also, it would be nice to be able to do this as a mirroring solution to keep a clone over time of the system in the case of failure of either System A or System B Is this possible to do? If so, any direction on how I would do this would be welcome. Is there a port / application that enables this? Thank you in advance! Never miss a thing.

Re: jail on ZFS - Unable to mount devfs
hi patrick, If I remember correctly there was no password file for in the jail. I think you have to rerun a certain command. Of course I do not remember the command :( The command should create the master password database. using the ServiceJail model, after populating the jail skeleton and running mergemaster, the two commands i run are, /usr/bin/cap_mkdb /j/jSKEL/etc/login.conf /usr/sbin/pwd_mkdb -d /j/jSKEL/etc -p /j/j/etc/master.passwd which should take care of that. Also you have to run within in the jail newaliases to create the aliases file, do a touch /etc/fstab to stop complaints about unable to read mountpoints. hm. i did not do that this time around. i'd built my jail-world with *both* NO_MAILWRAPPER=true NO_SENDMAIL=true, so i mayhave caused myself a problem. rather than cp'ing bins, tobe safe, i'll just rebuild world ... and see in a bit if that helps. thanks. Furthermore I am not sure that you can run a jail on a zfs file system. The setup I have is that I run my jails on ufs and have a zfs filesystem available within the jail. ?? if that's true, then that renders the rest moot -- and i have a problem. atm, i have cat /etc/fstab /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /bootdirufs rw1 1 /dev/mirror/gm0s1b noneswapsw0 0 /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 /j/jMROOT /j/jTESTnullfs ro0 0 /j/s/jTEST /j/jTEST/s nullfs rw0 0 zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT z5.23G 213G 250M /z z/data 20K 213G20K /data z/home 28.5K 213G 28.5K /home z/j23K 213G23K /j z/tmp 406K 213G 406K /tmp z/usr4.88G 213G 4.88G /usr z/var 105M 213G 105M /var where z/j is a zfs mount. i *can* access the jail, and do just about 'all' i need to in the jail (builds, exec, etc). but do *not* yet know if, by running the jail on zfs space whehter i've compromised anything. do you have a reference for your comment? or, perhaps, someone else can comment, as well? thanks! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, I tried searching the archives and found nothing. I used FreeBSD back in 2000 for a few firewalls, but due to certain influences I switched to Linux after a couple of years. I'm interested in getting back to the BSD's but have just one big concern. As most users Unix and it's clones, I prefer the free as in beer licensing model, but want to know that someone else is paying the big bills. In short, here's my question: Canonical, RedHat, IBM, Novell, and a slew of others are funding / supporting Linux development and pushing some of that development into the free community, so that all can benefit from full-time developers and the money that supports them. I've seen where Cisco and Juniper are using FreeBSD, and assuming there are other big names, do they directly fund or contribute to the community? Gary, FreeBSD USED TO HAVE a single large corporate sponsor. Walnut Creek. Well, while the upside of this is that you have a pot of money that can be used to fund advertising ventures, fund a position to act as the public face of the project, etc. the downside is that this ties the project to the fortunes of that big money pot. When Walnut Creek went downhill it caused a LOT of people who were using FreeBSD very much consternation. This is why today the project basically operates as a completely distributed project. You might as well ask who the corporate sponsor of the Gnutella network is. Nobody, and Everybody. Yet, that network carries billions of bytes of pirat... I mean, valuable video data, and is dependended on by many bootleggers.. I mean enterprenuers. ;-) People look at Linux and say how great it is that Linux has RedHat to make Linux look legitimate to the corporate world. They forget that as RedHat is a corporation, it is under a mandate to make a profit every year. Well, what happens if the day ever comes that RedHat starts losing money? Don't you think that people will suddenly start thinking that Linux has run out of steam? I do. There is no single corporation that is ever guarenteed to exist forever, last forever, and remain profitable forever. History is littered with large, rich companies that people once upon a time thought would never ever go out of business - yet they did anyway. By contrast, MOVEMENTS in history NEVER run out of steam. There are still, today, billions of people dumping billions of dollars every year into the Catholic Church - despite it's sordid history and current coverups of pedophiles - and that particular religious movement has been around more than 2000 years. We want to keep FreeBSD operating as a movement. As long as 1 person still believes and maintains it, it won't die. No matter how profitable or unprofitable it is to run. Ted Thank you all for the responses. I've tried to track down ways to contribute funds, as my programming skills are just above that of an intoxicated monkey. I found the FreeBSD foundation, which seems like the best place to start. I can't find, however, that any book, T-Shirt, or CD purchase from any vendor (including BSDmall) will send money back to the project. I understand there is value in evangelism from promoting FreeBSD via T-Shrits, stickers etc., as well as showing the profitability of books on BSD related topics to publishers (like No Starch). Have I missed an avenue of getting monetary support to FreeBSD? Thanks again.

Ok.. In the /var directory there is no dump directory. So solving this I
should do the following:
hulk# mkdir /var/dump
hulk# chown bind:bind /var/dump
Is that correct?
Whilst I am on the BIND topic, does BIND automatically refreshed the
content of a zone. Will it notice that the serial of a loaded zone has
been changed and reload it?

Patrick,
When you update your named.conf file, make sure you run a syntax check
before (re)starting named. Here's how you do it:
named-checkconf /path/to/your/named.conf echo $?
Thanks for the command.
If echo returns zero, then you're good to go. Otherwise, fix whatever
problem is displayed.
In your case, you need to remove one semi-colomn (;) to fix your
problem. Here's what your control statement should look like:
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1;10.202.77.110; }
keys { DHCP_UPDATER; };
};
Ok. I was in the impression that the inet line had to be a seperate line.
Changing it on one line and removing the ; solved it for me.
Thanks
Cheers,
David

named.conf - unable to set control bit
Hi list,
I have got the following issue. I have added the following settings in
named.conf but am unable to get it working. If I read the man page it
seems that what I have put in is completely correct.
REason to put it in is that I want the DHCP server to automatically update
the DNS zone.
the error I get is:

skip bad block in QIC-150 tar
I'm trying to recover some files from a 5 yr old tar on a QIC-150 tape. Unfortunately, there's a bad block on the tape; tar barfs and quits when it gets to it: tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format I managed to get a complete directory listing using tar t on my first attempt, before the tape became unreadable; it had to work at it but apparently managed to eventually get the block read. I've cleaned the tape and retried multiple times, to no avail. I've tried omitting the directory containing the bad block, but that hasn't prevented it from terminating. Anyone know a way to get around this?

Re: ipfw -- why need to let icmp out that I already let in?
Are you sure you don't have some other rule which is letting those returned packets out the other port? When I substitute your rule for my two: ipfw delete 10531 ipfw delete 10532 ipfw add 10531 allow icmp from any to any icmptypes 0,3,11,12 in The returning packets are dropped inside the firewall. (traceroute still works from the firewall itself, but not from an internal machine).

ipfw -- why need to let icmp out that I already let in?
I'm now running 6.1 using PPPoE through a bridging DSL modem. Using ipfw I have the following rules regarding for ping / traceroute: oip, oif are the outside tun0 ip addr and interface inet, imask, and iif are the internal netip/mask/interface from ipfw.conf: # Allow pings out # Note that for internal machines, this is an INCOMING request on the INTERNAL interface. add 10510 allow icmp from any to any out via oif() keep-state add 10511 allow icmp from inet():imask() to any in via iif() keep-state # Allow traceroute # Note that for internal machines, this is an INCOMING request on the INTERNAL interface. # Note the need to relay letting the icmp replies back out the internal interface in 10532! add 10520 allow udp from oip() to any out via oif() keep-state add 10521 allow icmp from any to oip() in via oif() icmptypes 3,11 add 10530 allow udp from inet():imask() to any in via iif() keep-state add 10531 allow icmp from any to inet():imask() in via oif() icmptypes 3,11 add 10532 allow icmp from any to inet():imask() out via iif() icmptypes 3,11 My question is regarding entry 10532. Without it, packets for traceroute come in on iif and are routed out on oif, but the returning icmp time exceeded in-transit packets are not forwarded to the internal network; they come in on oif (line 10531) but never go out on iif. Why is 10532 necessary? Other requests from the internal network, such as http requests, get forwarded out the other interface just fine, and returning packets are routed back to the internal interface, with a single entry of the form: add 10220 allow tcp from inet():imask() to any http in via iif() setup keep-state When dynamic rules are built, are they built for all interfaces to allow a packet to go anywhere appropriate, and similarly for return packets? Is the above only a problem because of the stateless nature of icmp? I assumed that if I allowed a packet in, it would be allowed out to its destination automatically.

Re: user ppp and PPPoE bridging
To answer my own question: I had the mux type set wrong -- VC-based instead of LLC-based. While the line comes up, the session is never opened because of the mux mismatch. moving right along now... Gary The freebsd box is connected directly via ed1 to the dsl modem; a crossover cable is used; the packets are clearly reaching the modem, as it records them as received. I've simplified ppp.conf to the following, essentially the ppp.conf.sample: default: set log all -timer blackfoot: set device PPPoE:ed1 enable lqr echo set cd 5 set redial 0 0 set dial set login set authname set authkey add! default HISADDR #ifconfig ed1 ed1: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::220:18ff:fe72:8b72%ed1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 ether 00:20:18:72:8b:72 #tcpdump -efntl -i ed1 tcpdump: WARNING: ed1: no IPv4 address assigned tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on ed1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 00:20:18:72:8b:72 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype PPPoE D (0x8863), length 32: PPPoE PADI [Host-Uniq 0x402DA4C1] [Service-Name] 00:20:18:72:8b:72 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype PPPoE D (0x8863), length 32: PPPoE PADI [Host-Uniq 0x402DA4C1] [Service-Name] It appears that no PADO reply is being received by the modem; the modem shows two packets being transmitted, but non being received. Since the line is marked as up by the modem, and since the line comes up properly when the modem is operating in full PPPoE mode, I'm puzzled as to what kind of mismatch could be preventing the ISP end from responding. This is a zyxel 642r modem; I can't try my other modem, a cisco 678, because it doesn't support a vci 63. The modem is set to use VC-based multiplexing, vpi=0, vci=100 These are the parameters used for PPPoE, and I presume are still required as part of the ATM layer when bridging. I am assuming there should be no need for my ISP to be notified that I am trying to use bridging in the modem, since it should be transparent on their end. They claim not to support bridging, but I don't see how they can say that, other than that they don't want to deal with the support issues. Is this a reasonable assumption?

Using user ppp, when I attempt to establish the PPPoE connection, I never get very far -- ppp dies when it tries to acquire carrier. I don't understand this, as there isn't a carrier signal to acquire on an ethernet. There is carrier on ethernet. Ethernet belongs to the CSMA/DA model where CS means carrier sense. I tried disabling cd in ppp.conf but as noted in the doc, it's required for a PPPoE connection and is forced on. Also, how do I know know which interface it is attempting to connect to? The debug log shows it found five interfaces, but doesn't indicate which one it is trying to connect to. It tries to use ed1 for PPPoE(set device PPPoE:ed1) Can you use the minimal configuration labelled pppoe from /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample? The only things you have to change are: The ethernet interface it will try PPPoE. username and password. Is your ed1 connected to the modem directly? Or it goes through a switch? Can you try connecting your ed1 directly on your DSL modem's ethernet port? You might need a crossover cable to do this( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable) or not since these days many ethernet ports do this automatically. Please post also ifconfig and run tcpdump on ed1 during try. ... I dont'see anything wrong, but I may be wrong. The small sample configuration always worked for me.

ed1 interface sometimes not recognized
Can anyone offer suggestions as to why an ed1 interface is not always recognized when booting? This is on 6.1 on an old P200 system. ed1 is the second nic, ep0 is the first; ep0 is always recognized. Rebooting usually solves the problem. I'm also puzzled as to why it's ed1 and not ed0. As nearly as I can tell it's on its own irq (5). Also, what causes the unknown: PNP can't assign resources messages, and how do I map the to something I can look for? dmesg: Copyright (c) 1992-2006 The FreeBSD Project.

Re: user ppp and PPPoE bridging
Hi Nikos, Thank you and rw for your replies. The freebsd box is connected directly via ed1 to the dsl modem; a crossover cable is used; the packets are clearly reaching the modem, as it records them as received. I've simplified ppp.conf to the following, essentially the ppp.conf.sample: default: set log all -timer blackfoot: set device PPPoE:ed1 enable lqr echo set cd 5 set redial 0 0 set dial set login set authname set authkey add! default HISADDR #ifconfig ed1 ed1: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::220:18ff:fe72:8b72%ed1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 ether 00:20:18:72:8b:72 #tcpdump -efntl -i ed1 tcpdump: WARNING: ed1: no IPv4 address assigned tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on ed1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 00:20:18:72:8b:72 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype PPPoE D (0x8863), length 32: PPPoE PADI [Host-Uniq 0x402DA4C1] [Service-Name] 00:20:18:72:8b:72 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype PPPoE D (0x8863), length 32: PPPoE PADI [Host-Uniq 0x402DA4C1] [Service-Name] It appears that no PADO reply is being received by the modem; the modem shows two packets being transmitted, but non being received. Since the line is marked as up by the modem, and since the line comes up properly when the modem is operating in full PPPoE mode, I'm puzzled as to what kind of mismatch could be preventing the ISP end from responding. This is a zyxel 642r modem; I can't try my other modem, a cisco 678, because it doesn't support a vci 63. The modem is set to use VC-based multiplexing, vpi=0, vci=100 These are the parameters used for PPPoE, and I presume are still required as part of the ATM layer when bridging. I am assuming there should be no need for my ISP to be notified that I am trying to use bridging in the modem, since it should be transparent on their end. They claim not to support bridging, but I don't see how they can say that, other than that they don't want to deal with the support issues. Is this a reasonable assumption?

I've put the DSL modem in bridging mode, and it brings up the link properly -- or at least it reports it as up (DSL led steady; modem status report shows it as up, rfc 1483. Using user ppp, when I attempt to establish the PPPoE connection, I never get very far -- ppp dies when it tries to acquire carrier. I don't understand this, as there isn't a carrier signal to acquire on an ethernet. There is carrier on ethernet. Ethernet belongs to the CSMA/DA model where CS means carrier sense. I tried disabling cd in ppp.conf but as noted in the doc, it's required for a PPPoE connection and is forced on. Also, how do I know know which interface it is attempting to connect to? The debug log shows it found five interfaces, but doesn't indicate which one it is trying to connect to. It tries to use ed1 for PPPoE(set device PPPoE:ed1) Can you use the minimal configuration labelled pppoe from /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample? The only things you have to change are: The ethernet interface it will try PPPoE. username and password. Is your ed1 connected to the modem directly? Or it goes through a switch? Can you try connecting your ed1 directly on your DSL modem's ethernet port? You might need a crossover cable to do this( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable) or not since these days many ethernet ports do this automatically. Please post also ifconfig and run tcpdump on ed1 during try. ... I dont'see anything wrong, but I may be wrong. The small sample configuration always worked for me. Why don't you use it as a starting point? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
