I've now gone through any number of different install strategies and
can't find a method that consistently allows me to get needed ports
installed. I finally, after trying off-and-on for three days, have X
working, but many of the applications I use everyday (e.g., anything
GTK/GNOME related) won't install. Mostly, I get streams of stuff like
this:

http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/dbhierx.mod:115: parser
warning : PEReference: %list.class; not found
%local.divcomponent.mix;">
 ^
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/dbhierx.mod:115: parser
warning : PEReference: %admon.class; not found
%local.divcomponent.mix;">
     ^
And assorted other parse errors.

Should I be submitting a PR for this?

I am having the same problem (I posted a related question to the list
last night). Anything dealing with XML and docbook is failing to
build. I have managed to install a few of the problem ports by adding
the package instead, but when I left the house this morning, yet
another related package had failed.

Build/install failure in textproc/docbook-sk: catalog parsing error

[Jason Morgan]

Greetings,

I am having trouble installing xorg on a fairly clean machine. The
problem stems from a failed build/install of textproc/docbook-sk,
which seems to have been pulled in from HAL.

Does someone know if this is a known issue, or if it's possibly some
problem with my system specifically? Is there a work-around---I've
already tried to deinstall all ports and begin from scratch? Does a
default install of xorg, including HAL, really need docbook? Should I
submit a PR?

Details below:

I had this exact question/problem when setting LDAP authentication up
for the first time last week. The man pages don't seem all that clear,
to me at least, and the pam documentation is vague, when you can find
it. Anyway, below are the settings I used to get SSH authentication
working. The settings work, but I don't claim they are "correct".

$ cat /etc/nsswitch.conf 
group:files ldap
group_compat: nis
hosts:files dns
passwd:   files ldap
passwd_compat:nis
services: compat
services_compat:  nis
shells:   files ldap

$ cat /etc/pam.d/sshd 
# auth
#auth   sufficient  pam_opie.so no_warn no_fake_prompts
#auth   requisite   pam_opieaccess.so   no_warn allow_local
#auth   sufficient  pam_krb5.so no_warn try_first_pass
#auth   sufficient  pam_ssh.so  no_warn try_first_pass
authsufficient  /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so no_warn 
try_first_pass
authrequiredpam_unix.so no_warn try_first_pass

I believe, if I read the documentation correctly, you want to add

authsufficient  /usr/local/lib/pam_ldap.so

to /etc/pam.d/login. That should instruct pam to check ldap at
login. Hopefully, people who really know what they are doing will
respond.

HTH a bit,

Assuming you mean a hard disk, if you can run smartmontools, this is
from smartctl(8):

   -i, --info
  Prints the device model number, serial number, firmware version,
  and  ATA  Standard  version/revision  information.   Says if the
  device supports SMART, and if so, whether SMART support is  cur-
  rently  enabled  or  disabled.   If  the device supports Logical
  Block Address mode (LBA mode) print current user drive  capacity
  in bytes. (If drive is has a user protected area reserved, or is
  "clipped", this may be smaller than the potential maximum  drive
  capacity.)  Indicates if the drive is in the smartmontools data-
  base (see '-v' options below).  If so, the  drive  model  family
  may also be printed. If '-n' (see below) is specified, the power
  mode of the drive is printed.

Full man page is here:
http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/man/smartctl.8.html

Port is here:
/usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools

That it quite possible (I do notice the newer documentation calling
for netmask 0x). But I have never had any trouble over the
last three years so, you know how it is, if it ain't (too) broke ...

I am actually getting the same results when telnetting to port 25 on
my mailserver jail. Someone else here should be able to offer better
advice. Sorry, I couldn't help.

Good luck,

This is the output for my jail interface. Notice that your jail
aliases are broadcasting on the jail's IP. I don't know if this is an
issue or not (my jails run on i386 FBSD 6.3), but it's something to
look at. How are you setting the aliases?

sk0: flags=8843 mtu 1500

I can't imagine this is a software issue. Sounds strange. Have you
tried to see if it isn't a fan issue? We have some Dell GX280s with a
bad batch of motherboards at my university---under specific conditions
(e.g., using certain video cards) the system fan will spin up 'til the
system sounds like it's about to take off.

Good luck,

I second this request. I am getting ready to implement a VPN for a
small company and any extra documentation I can get would be greatly
appreciated.

Try booting with ACPI disabled. I have the same problem with an older
system; have to run without ACPI on 7.0 for some reason. 6.3 worked
fine. I posted twice here regarding the problem but never received a
reply. Let the list know if it is an ACPI issue.

This is still an issue. I updated my source today, rebuilt world and
kernel (disabling SMP), and the system still freezes at boot with ACPI
enabled.

If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can work around the problem,
they would be greatly appreciated.

Lockup on Boot due to ACPI (Freebsd 7.0-RC2 i386)

[Jason Morgan]

I just upgraded a system from 6.3-RELEASE to 7.0-RC2 (both i386) only
to discover that the system won't boot with ACPI enabled. ACPI was
working fine in 6.3. The problems occur at boot-up -- the system
simply stops loading at approximately the same place during each
attempt (noted below in the dmesg). I have added
`hint.acpi.0.disabled=1' to loader.conf to get around the issue
automatically. I have tried building new kernels with various options
added/removed, rebuilt world with updated source, etc.

I have included my system information below. The dmesg output (a full
boot with ACPI disabled) is `verbose' and I have edited it to show
where the lockup happens. I am more than willing to help out with any
debugging if needed. I just need some direction.

Thanks,
~Jason

I've also noticed this. I thought it was because I used the -j4 flag
when building world, but I just rebuilt my kernel last night without
-j4 and had some of the same issues. This has been on both SCHED_ULE
and SCHED_4FSB. I am running AMD64.

To completely wipe the drive? Try:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad6 bs=512

That will zero out the *whole* drive, nothing will be left. You will
also need to make sure you do

# gmirror forget ad6

first; otherwise, I think gmirror will expect to find metadata on the
drive. Read the man page carefully to make sure you are taking the
steps in the right order.

Hey Jeff,

Try:

gmirror forget ad6s1

>From gmirror(8):

remove  Remove the given component(s) from the mirror and clear meta-
data on it.

and futher on:

One disk failed.  Replace it with a brand new one:

   gmirror forget data
   gmirror insert data da1


I had a drive do something similar --- the system wouldn't crash, but
a drive just refused to be rebuilt. I used `forget' and it worked like
a charm.

I've run into this before (along with other dbus/Thunar issues) and it
was only fixed by building XFCE from source. Installing from the
package has always caused problems for me. I run XFCE on three
workstations -- though I run -STABLE -- all of them had the same
problem.

I know, not much help.

NFS Problems/Questions

[Jason Morgan]

I've been having some trouble with NFS performance for some time and
now that class is out, I've had a bit of time to investigate but I'm
stuck. Below are the details of my investigation. Hopefully, someone
here can give me some advice.

The basic problem is that my NFS performance is very slow. Right now,
I am connecting two workstations to a NFS server, which has my home
directory, etc, mounted. They are connected over a gigabit network
(right now with mtu set to 7000, which is supported by all hardware --
changing it to 1500 has no effect on performance, which is
strange). Each system is running 6.2-RELEASE or -STABLE. Each system
is also using the following network card:

# ifconfig sk0
sk0: flags=8843 mtu 7000
options=b
inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
ether 00:17:9a:bb:05:87
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX )
status: active

# dmesg | grep sk
skc0:  port 0xec00-0xecff mem 
  0xfdff8000-0xfdffbfff irq 18 at device 10.0 on pci0
skc0: DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter rev. (0x9)
sk0:   on skc0
sk0:  Ethernet address: 00:17:9a:XX:XX:XX

## Server /etc/rc.conf settings

rpcbind_enable="YES"
rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
nfs_server_flags="-u -t -n 12"
nfs_bufpackets="32"
mountd_flags="-r"


## Client /etc/rc.conf settings

nfs_client_enable="YES"
nfs_bufpackets="32"
nfsiod_enable="YES"
nfsiod_flags="-n 6"
rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"
rpcbind_enable="YES"

## /etc/exports

/usr -alldirs,maproot=root client1 client2


For performance benchmarking, I am using dd. Locally from the server,
this is a representative result when writing a 1GB file:

## Local write test (for an upper-bound on what to expect).

# dd if=/dev/zero of=./nfs.dat bs=1024k count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes transferred in 19.580184 secs (53552919 bytes/sec)

Connecting from a client (both clients get approximately the same
results).

## Remote connection (UDP), mounted in /etc/fstab as with flags:
## rw,-U,-3,-r=32768,-w=32768

# dd if=/dev/zero of=./nfs.dat bs=1024k count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes transferred in 101.151139 secs (10366428 bytes/sec)

## Remote connection (TCP), mounted in /etc/fstab as with flags:
## rw,-T,-3,-r=32768,-w=32768

# dd if=/dev/zero of=./nfs.dat bs=1024k count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes transferred in 59.668585 secs (17573334 bytes/sec)

As can be seen above, TCP is much faster than UPD. I have tried many
different mount settings and these are the best results I could
get. To test whether or not I have having network issues, I
transferred the same nfs.dat file via a http connection and got
~32MB/sec -- almost 2x the speed of the TCP NFS connection. 32MB/sec
is about what I would expect given that my fastest write speed is
~50MB/sec.

At this point I am stumped. I have tried increasing/changing the
number of nfsiod servers as well as nfs_bufpackets. No matter what
settings I change, the results are always the same. I get only two
errors, first on /var/log/messages on the server I have just begun
seeing:

Jun 22 21:13:47 crichton routed[666]: sendto(dc1, 224.0.0.2): Operation not 
permitted
Jun 22 21:13:47 crichton routed[666]: sendto(sk0, 224.0.0.2): Operation not 
permitted
Jun 22 21:13:50 crichton routed[666]: sendto(dc1, 224.0.0.2): Operation not 
permitted
Jun 22 21:13:50 crichton routed[666]: sendto(sk0, 224.0.0.2): Operation not 
permitted

This appeared after I added a route; however, I added the route after
many of the tests were done. I get the same results now as before the
new route. On one of the clients (the one running 6.2-RELEASE-p1), I
also get a nasty error:

nfs/tcp clnt: Error 60 reading socket, tearing down TCP connection

This cropped up last night after I tweaked some settings. They have
now been changed back, but I still get this error. The other client is
unaffected.

I appreciate any help people can provide on tracking down the
issues. Sorry about the long email -- just trying to be thorough. Of
course, I've searched the Internet and can't find any clear assistence
on these issues.

Cheers,
~Jason

My wife (non-techie) and I use Thunar in XFCE4.4. Thunar comes
installed by default with XFCE4.4, I believe. It is plenty fast and
doesn't require all the Gnome and KDE bloat. XFCE4 is also newbie
friendly and fast enough for my purposes.

I thought the exact same thing. My previous experience was with vinum
and, while it was great 4 years ago (props to grog), the simplicity of
geom for simple setups was greatly needed.

Whether or not this is the *right* way to do it or not, I am not sure,
but I can tell you that this is basically what I did on two servers
about 6 months ago and I've had no problems. I even had a drive
failure. When I plugged the new one in, it rebuilt correctly and has
been running well since.

Yes, make the first disk the smaller one. I don't believe there is a
difference in setup, but the extra space on the second drive (say,
ad2) will be wasted.

Check out:

I've been pretty happy with *built-in* ath(4)/ath_hal(4) NICs. I have
no experience with PCMCIA (or whatever they are called) versions.

There a script for it in /etc/rc.d/ ? If so, try:

Not a problem, Brett. Also see the following link. I imagine the
people over at freebsd-ports@ will want you to look at it.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/

If I weren't in grad school, I'd try to lend a hand myself, but things
are a bit busy here.

Hello Brett,

I'd try posing this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The people that
watch that list will probably be more able to help (rather, have more
interest in helping you) that those on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, when
posting there -- if you haven't done so already -- try changing your
subject line to something like "Help with porting Flamenco". In the
body of your text, you may also want to include the exact requirements
of Flamenco (e.g., Python >= 2.4.X, MySQL >= 5.0, etc). The people
on that list will be able to tell you right away whether or not a port
is easy/possible.

Cheers,

Jason

The nvidia driver for FreeBSD comes with good documentation that's
fairly clear and concise. After adding the package, take a few minutes
to read through the referred-to docs. You should be up and running in
no time.

Hello Ian,

Perhaps you could offer more information explaining what you've tried,
a bit about your network setup, and the results of running dmesg and
ifconfig on one of your problem systems? Without that, it will be
tough to help you.

How much memory FreeBSD uses when installing a port usually depends on
the port. However, how are you determining that the memory is not
freed up after the port is done installing? Are you running into
situation where a huge percentage of your ram is being used during the
build process, which then forces the system to swap *after* the
install is complete? If you are determining the amount of free ram by
simply looking at top(1), and the system is not swapping, then I don't
think you have an issue. FreeBSD will free up the memory when it needs
it.

Try mounting the device as SCSI cd device. I have to do the same with
a Pioneer DVD-ROM (a DVD-118, I believe). You'll need (at least)

device  scbus
device  cd

in your kernel. I had trouble using acd but haven't had any since I
began using cd. Someone else should be able to explain why the Pioneer
DVD-ROMs play better with cd.

Good luck,

Thanks for your reply. After messing with it some more, I decided to
just send the drive back and see if I have better luck with the
replacement. The sector that was damaged was on an almost-empty
portion of the disk, which was a bit strange to me. *shrugs*

Drive Failure or User Error?

[Jason Morgan]

I was setting up a new server (6.1 i386 STABLE) - more specifically, I
was mirroring the functioning server drive - when I suddenly got this:

ad0 FAILURE - READ_DMA48 status=51
error=40 LBA=611703808
GEOM_MIRROR: Request failed (error=5). ad0[READ(offset=313192349696, 
length=131072)]

Along with several more errors, which were very similar. At this point,
the server pretty much froze and would repeat the error at reboot, and
as gmirror began resyncing the drive, the server would crash. I've tried
disabling the mirror, fscking (multiple times), removing disks, and I
just got done reinstalling (which went just fine) and resyncing. I still
get the error and the system becomes unusable.

So, my question is - and I suspect this is the case - is this a drive 
failure or some issue with the mirroring process? I followed the ONLamp 
instructions here: 

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/11/10/FreeBSD_Basics.html 

which I've used in the past with success.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Use your smaller disk as the first drive your insert into the mirror and 
I think you'll be ok.

The first time you run portsnap:

# portsnap fetch
# portsnap extract

Subsequent usage:

# portsnap fetch update

Did you run `extract' after your original `fetch'?

Bingo, it was the static route. The wireless router didn't like getting 
connection attempts from 10.0.0.0 addresses. Turns out, the FreeBSD
machine was operating as advertised. Now it's time to get IPSEC set up.

Yeah, the router was denying connections from 10.0.0.0. I have fixed 
this, changed the password, and disallowed alterations from the WAN.

Got it. I'll try that. The Linksys does allow you to specify static 
routes.

I never explicity set the FreeBSD machine to enable NAT between these 
subnets. Should I do so? Do I just add another natd_interface to 
rc.conf?

Right now, the NAT related entries in rc.conf on the gateway look like
this:

natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="xl0"  #public interface
natd_flags="-dynamic -m"

Ok, it looks like it was an issue with the default settings on the 
Linksys (and is still somewhat of an issue). I can now connect to 
systems in each of the two subnets and I also have routing to the 
outside world from both subnets. My only remaining issue is getting to 
the web app setup for the Linksys - I can only do it from a local 
address (meaning a 192.168.1.x address).  The Linksys refuses 
connections from my 10.0.0.x subnet. Is this a NAT issue?

Thanks again for all the help. tcpdump helped a lot.

Yes, that's what I've done.

As soon as I can get the Linksys set up, I will.

Correct.

Checking to make sure the wireless router is routing now, but I can ping 
from the FreeBSD gateway to the router (as well as hit the web setup 
with lynx).

I'll move a client from the 'wired' side to the 'wireless' side here 
shortly. Thanks for the help.

Yes, I do. The FreeBSD works fine for routing to the outside, it's 
between the subnets where I run into issues.

Yes, the FreeBSD machine has been acting as a router/gateway/firewall
for the wired network for quite some time. I did look at the handbook,
that's usually my first stop.

Also, made one small error in my initial post.  The wireless router has 
IP 192.168.1.1 and the server's 'wireless' interface is 192.168.1.2 
(going to switch these as soon as I get access to the wireless router 
settings).

I've tried setting static routes between various interfaces on the 
FreeBSD machine, it hasn't worked, but I may be doing it wrong. I 
thought routed should take care of this dynamically, but I'm a bit 
unsure about that.

Quick Routing Question

[Jason Morgan]

I am setting up a wireless subnet and, while the gateway (FreeBSD
system) is communicating fine with the wireless router, my other subnet
is not able to connect to the wireless router. Here is a diagram of my
network, I think it's fairly typical.


 Wired Subnet (10.0.0.x)
/
   /
Internet <-- FreeBSD Machine 
   \
\
 Wireless Subnet (192.168.1.x)


The 'wired' interface on the FreeBSD machine has an IP of 10.0.0.1, with 
the 'wireless' IP being 192.168.1.1.  Now, the FreeBSD machine and the 
wireless router (192.168.1.2) communicate fine as does the wired subnet; 
however, I am not able to connect from a 10.0.0.x client to the wireless 
router. After running traceroute, etc, it seems that the FreeBSD machine 
is simply not routing the data from one subnet to the other. I've 
verified that it's not the firewall blocking packets. How do I get these 
subnets to communicate?

Thanks,
Jason

Wireless Adapter (PCI) for FBSD 4.11

[Jason Morgan]

Could someone point me to a wireless adapter that functions with FBSD 
4.11?  I was hoping to get a 802.11g capable card, but it doesn't appear 
that the ath(4) driver is available to 4.11 and wi(4) seems to only 
mention 802.11a cards. The list in wi(4) also seems somewhat out of 
date. Is it even possible to use 802.11g cards with 4.11?  I don't have 
the option of moving the system to 5.x or 6.x.

Thanks for your time,

Without knowing what you've tried, it's hard to give you some advice. 
What's your rc.conf look like? Have you set the appropriate kernel 
options? Version of FreeSBD?

You try 'boot -v' to see if there are any hidden messages?

I've had the same problem on an old laptop. I was told to try older
releases (tried 4.11 and 5.4). I haven't gotten around to it, but that's
somewhere to start.

Remember to compile the kernel with?

options IPFIREWALL
options IPDIVERT

gateway_enable=YES in rc.conf?

For testing, you may also want to make sure your firewall is
completely open, especially since I believe the default ipfw script
(if that's what you're using), even if set to 'open', blocks incoming
traffic from 192.168.x.x on the outside interface.

You follow the order shown in /usr/src/Makefile ?

Try linuxpluginwrapper? That's what I had to do to get the plugin to work,

And have you tried cdrecord? That's what I had to do to fix my problem. 
If that doesn't work, I certainly can't help with the more technical 
aspects of a potential hardware/software conflict.

Are some of your users in many different groups? The kernel variable 
kern.ngroups sets the number of groups a user can belong to. Could that 
be an issue? I don't believe there is a limit to the number of users in 
a group. I know there was in the past, but I believe it was removed.

I've had a similar issue (or at least it looks similar to the untrained 
eye) on an old laptop of mine that I was trying to install with 5.4, 
5.3, then 4.11. I posted the error to the mailing list, but was never 
able to solve the problem. Be interested to know if someone has a 
solution.

Are your trying to automount an NFS server? Are you sure you have /etc/exports
set up correctly on the NFS server to allow access from the client in question?

Well, I've tried everything I know to do. I've tried installing FBSD 4.11 as 
well as tweaking settings 
before booting the kernel.  I've tried the following settings in various 
combinations:

set hint.acpi.0.disabled=1
set hint.uhci.0.disabled=1
set hint.uhci.1.disabled=1
acpi_load=NO

No luck. Are there any other workarounds out there or something obvious that 
I've missed?

Thanks for the help,
Jason

Fetch able to get around firewall?

[Jason Morgan]

I have three clients behind my FreeBSD gateway/firewall. Two of the clients run 
FreeBSD and the other 
runs FreeBSD and Windows.  I would like for my firewall to be fairly tight, 
disallowing unspecified 
connections outbound. However, while I have no trouble getting most services up 
and running correctly
(qmail,apache,ssh,etc.), I am having trouble getting fetch (for portupgrade) to 
get through the 
firewall. I have tried 'fetch -p', which doesn't seem to work.  My question is, 
is it going to be 
possible to maintain a restrictive firewall and still have the ability to 
upgrade my ports from the 
inside clients?  Below is my  firewall (a slightly edited version of the one 
available in the handbook).

Boot page fault - alternative kernel needed?

[Jason Morgan]

I have an old laptop that I am finally trying to get FreeBSD installed on.  It 
was recently running Linux just fine, 
but I am having a tough time getting FreeBSD installed on it.  Here is the 
error I get when booting.  I have typed all 
that is visible on the screen when it crashes.

# Begin

uhci0:  at device 1.2 on pci0


Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address  = 0xeb97b
fault code = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer= 0x8:0xc00eb87c
stack pointer  = 0x10:0xc10209f0

processor eflags   = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process= 0 (swapper)
trap number= 12

# End

So, my question is: Is this the UHCI driver failing to load (happens at this 
same point every time I try to boot it)? 
Is there any way around this? Possible using a trimmed down kernel to boot?  
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

I finally solved the problem.  I had to include "device atapicam" in my kernel, 
then used cdrecord instead of burncd, 
using the drive as a scsi device.  Hope this info will help some newb in the 
future.

burncd: "device busy" error when writing .iso

[Jason Morgan]

I am attempting to burn an .iso of the 5.3 mini distribution and keep 
running into the following error:

# burncd -f /dev/acd0 data 5.3-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso fixate
next writeable LBA 0
writing from file 5.3-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso size 274400 KB
written this track 640 KB (0%) total 640 KB
only wrote -1 of 32768 bytes: Device busy

fixating CD, please wait..

I have verified that the drive is working and is accessible.  I have 
tried different media and keep running into the same result.

# dmesg | grep acd0
acd0: DVDR  at ata1-master PIO4

This is a new drive, that I just recently installed.

Oh, I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p11 #7.

Any suggestions?  I've only burned CDs with FreeBSD a few times and 
never on this system, so I'm kinda a newb.

Thanks for your time.

What FreeBSD is (quote from the homepage):
"FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible, DEC Alpha, 
IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC architectures. It is derived from BSD UNIX, 
the version of UNIX developed at the University of California, Berkeley. 
It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals. Additional 
platforms are in various stages of development."

FreeBSD is not Linux.

You're right, it was user error - I guess. I got tired of trying to figure 
it out, so I installed the OO.org package instead of building it myself. 
All was well after that.

NFS, something I should know?

[Jason Morgan]

I have set up NFS for the first time and am having a few problems;
namely with OpenOffice, but it may go deeper. I am mounting /home and
/usr/ports/distfiles from a file server.

/etc/exports :

# NFS exports file
/share -alldirs,maproot=0 client1 cliet2 client3


I mount home and distfiles with /etc/fstab:

# DeviceMountpoint  FStype   Options Dump  Pass#
server:/share/home  /usr/home   nfs  rw  0 0
server:/share/distfiles /usr/ports/distfiles nfs rw  0 0

Does this look correct? OpenOffice crashes everytime I try to write to
/home. It worked fine before I moved /home to the server. I have tried
mounting with -2, as was suggested some time ago on a mailing list I
found through google. Didn't work.

OpenOffice build problem - 4.8 RC #1

[Jason Morgan]

I have been trying to build OpenOffice 1.0.2 for the last couple days,
and this is what I get. I have tried cvsuping my source, reinstalling
all installed packages, and whatever else I could think of. Still no go.
Also, I finally decided to use the 1.0.1 package available at OO.org,
and writer fails on me, without explaination. Anyone have any
suggestions? I just built this on a 4.7 machine less than two weeks ago,
went perfectly.

Thanks,

Adobe fonts (installed in Win2k) use

[Jason Morgan]

I have several Adobe fonts that I would like to use in FreeBSD. It
appears that by their extensions (.pfb, .pfm) that they are postscript
fonts. Can I use these in X?

Thanks,

ipfw2 dynamic rules not dying

[Jason Morgan]

I have a problem with my dynamic IPFW2 rules - they aren't dying. The
system has been up now for 14 days, with it acting as firewall to two
systems inside. One of the systems inside is also running IPFW2, but is
in an open state. Here is the ruleset I am running, I have made no
changes to the kernel variables regulating packet time-out - oh, and I'm
running 4.7.

# ipfw list

65000 deny log ip from any to any
65535 deny ip from any to any

One last thing, my server is behind a ZyXel ADSL router, which is
addressed as 192.168.1.1 on the inside. xl0 is my outside NIC.

Currently, I have more than 180 dynamic rules active, most are attached
to rule 00610. 180 rules seems to be excessive, and they don't seem to
be timing out. Is my ruleset screwed up?

Thanks

Re: OpenOffice

[Jason Morgan]

You may just have to wait until it's available again. Are there not
mirrors specified in the Makefile?

Also, just a warning, while OO works great on FreeBSD (I use it every
day), it takes a long time to build and takes a lot of space in '/'.
After it builds, it works great.

Tschuess,

Jason

Re: IPFW2 setup

Kernel firewall settings:

options IPFW2
options IPFIREWALL  #Firewall
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE  #print info about dropped packets
options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT="10"  #limit verbosity
options IPV6FIREWALL
options IPV6FIREWALL_VERBOSE

I can't reach the web from the inside, nor can I ssh to my server.
Everything seems to be getting hung up on rules 310 and 410. I, of
course, want to do away with 32000. In order to get through, I have
temporarily added an 'allow all from any to any' at 210. I'll start
logging the denys and see what happens.

IPFW2 setup

[Jason Morgan]

OK, I've read the man page for IPFW a couple times and I am still having
difficulty setting up a working firewall. The firewall acts as a gateway
to my inside network as well as a web server and mail server. I also
need ssh connectivity from inside and out. Also, one odd thing is that I
have a Zyxel Prestige 643 acting as an additional router between me and
my DSL connection (I couldn't figure out how to get the router in pure
bridging mode). It comes in handy, though, as it has a 4-port switch
built in and can also act a firewall and does the PPPoE easy enough.

NICs:
xl0 as 192.168.1.101 (to Zyxel and outside)
dc0 as 10.0.0.1 (inside)

Current IPFW config:

-

# Basics
add 00010 pass all from any to any via lo0
add 00020 deny all from any to 127.0.0.0/8
add 00030 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
add 00040 deny ip from any to any frag

# Spoofing Check
add 00050 deny all from 10.0.0.0/8 to any in via xl0
add 00060 deny all from 172.16.0.0/12 to any in via xl0

add 00080 allow all from 192.168.1.1 to any in via xl0
add 00085 deny all from 192.168.0.0/16 to any in via xl0

# Divert
add 00100 divert natd all from any to any via xl0

# Allowances
add 00200 allow all from any to any in via dc0

# Check state of dynamic rules
add 00220 check-state

# UDP
add 00300 allow udp from any to any out setup
add 00310 deny udp from any to any established
add 00320 allow udp from any to any 53 in via xl0 setup keep-state

# TCP
add 00400 allow tcp from any to any out setup keep-state
add 00410 deny tcp from any to any established
add 00420 allow tcp from any to any 22,25,80 in setup keep-state


add 32000 allow all from any to any



Could anyone offer some advice?

I had just implemented the firewall and I was going to finish the
ruleset today. Is it possibly logging to the root partition and not
/var?

The amount of traffic also seems really high.

I got a strange error from my server this morning - root partition full.
I then looked at my email and had this in my inbox (of course I get
this every day):

This was yesterday:

How do I determine what's going on? This is really strange.

monitoring traffic with IPFW - good idea?

[Jason Morgan]

I remotely admin a server and am trying to come up with a simple way to
monitor traffic. Lately, I have been manually using IPFW's count feature
to monitor individual's bandwidth usage. We don't want to restrict any
user's usage, we just want to be aware if someone starts trading mp3s,
or if our usage comes to a point where we need more bandwidth. We are a
small shop (four employees in the office) and we are using a single
server for routing, firewall, and website hosting. I was planning on 
writing a simple script to email me and the boss a "ipfw show" every
day. Is this a good way to do it? Will the extra 'count' entries be more
of a burden on the system?

Please excuse my ignorance.

Cheers,
Jason

I thought this may be the case. Everything works fine now. The strange

Maybe I did and didn't notice.

problem with top?

[Jason Morgan]

What does this mean?

$ top
kvm_open: proc size mismatch (41340 total, 1056 chunks)
top: Out of memory.

$ ps aux | more
ps: proc size mismatch (41340 total, 1056 chunks)


This came up right after installing the GIMP port (gimp1 in ports). I
noticed some slight slow down in the system, so I thought I would take a
look at what's going on. Now everything seems to be running fine, but I
still can't use top or ps.

Re: iomega usb zip 100

I've had the same trouble and have asked on this list but have never
gotten a response. Maybe it's in a FAQ somewhere?

I am intalling a server for a small company - a company I once worked for. A few
years ago, I moved their server from Windows 2000 to FreeBSD in order to save money
on licensing, etc. They were very impressed from the beginning, given that the
server was a Celeron EMachines (no joke, we were a new company and the goal was to
save cash) and there were few issues with this setup, instead of the monthly crashes
or other 'issues' with Win2000. All was well until I left the company. Nobody has
the time to learn FreeBSD and so updating and admin tasks are still left to me (I
now live across the country). They were thinking about moving back to Windows,
because they feel it would be easier for them to admin (they have more cash now so
licensing is less of an issue). I stopped them from doing so but am once again stuck
with the job of admin.

The short of it is that I want to be able to reinstall OpenSSH at any time, should a
vulnerability come out and it makes me nervous doing a build-/installworld from 3000
miles away. The server is also doing a lot more work now (Apache, MySQL, DNS,
ROUTING, etc.) and uptime is much more important.

Where is that in the docs? I couldn't find it in

Using the OpenSSH Port

[Jason Morgan]

I would like to use the OpenSSH port instead of the default install. I
tried setting

NO_OPENSSH= true

in my /etc/make.conf file and then doing a build- / installworld. Didn't
work. Is there some easy way to do this?

Thanks,

Jason

Re: vinum and a BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG

[Jason Morgan]

Yes, that was the problem - coupled with my ignorance. When I tried removing
these before, I still had an error, which was caused by a mistake in my
moving /usr and /var.

Thanks for the help and thanks for vinum.

vinum and a BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG

[Jason Morgan]

OK, I am installing vinum for the first time and have run into trouble.

Setup:

FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE
2 WD 80GB IDE drives, ad0 and ad2

I used this page to help me through my setup:

http://org.netbase.org/vinum-mirrored.html

I have followed Case 2, which is a basic setup of one drive mirroring the
other (RAID-1 right?). I am not trying to mirror the root partition, and
have a minimal install on ad0s1a.

The setup hase gone just fine, but when I reboot, I get this:

[snip]
/dev/ad2s1e: BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG
/dev/ad2s1e: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY
[snip]
/dev/ad0s1e: BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG
/dev/ad0s1e: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY

At that point it goes in single user mode.

I've tried fooling with fstab and even reinstalling (new machine, no data 
to be lost), but I keep getting the same problem. Could this be a problem
with my newfs usage:

newfs -v /dev/vinum/usr
newfs -v /dev/vinum/var
newfs -v /dev/vinum/public

Last thing; When I run vinum and issue the list command, it says everything 
is 'up', including ad0s1e and ad2s1e.

Many thanks for any help you can give.
