Since you seen incapable of reading and following the directions for
creating properly formatted BIND zone files, even after having been
directed to those resoures after your prior post, the best advice is
for you to either:
   1) Hire a knowledgable professional to set it up for you.
-or-
   2) Contract with a knowledgable operator to host your zones on *their*
  servers.

Question regarding SPF records

2012-02-18 Thread Jonathan Vomacka
I am inquiring about how to setup a proper SPF record. I know there are 
SPF wizards/generators available but each seem to have a different 
opinion of what should be included and what should not be included.


Let me give you a scenario of my setup, and hopefully someone can help 
me out.


My domain is: test.com
My mailserver hostname is: mail.host.com which also has a MATCHING PTR 
record
mail.host.com (for example) resolves to 50.1.1.1 and 50.1.1.1 resolves 
to mail.host.com


This is a STANDALONE mail server which will receive and send email 
without any VIP's or load balancing. There is however one additional 
host that will send out mail from the domain but it wont be receiving 
mail, it will only be used as an SMTP (outbound only) server attached to 
a website automailer which is on a seperate webserver... It only 
generates error reports and sends them out... so technically it isn't a 
full mail server but it will be sending (outbound only) mail on behalf 
of the domain.


The additional host is: mail2.test.com which resolves to 50.2.2.2 and 
there is a Matching PTR.


These are the ONLY mail servers and IP addresses that will be sending 
out mail from the test.com domain. Some websites say I should use -all 
and others say -all will cause some MTA's to reject and ~all is better 
to use even if those are the only two hosts sending out mail.


Would you be able to assist with a solid SPF record?

Waitman,

Fair enough statement.

I also generated the following SPF using a wizard. Let me know if this 
looks correct:


teamwarfare.com. IN TXT v=spf1 a mx a:mail.teamwarfare.com 
a:mail2.teamwarfare.com ip4:66.90.73.80 ip4:216.250.250.148 ~all


I wouldn't need an include: or ptr statement in this right? I would 
told include: was to include OTHER domains that are allowed to send 
e-mail, but then again I see some people writing the domain again as an 
include. Also is PTR good to use or not?

Re: Turning system accounting data into money

 This is _not_ a spam message trying to sell something
 stupid to the list. I'm just searching for a solution
 to turn consumed computing resources into a number and
 a currency symbol. :-)

 Reason: A growing amount of (my) customers seems to
 like this concept: They speed a low fee for access to
 systems and applications, and they want to pay according
 to what they did with that system. The access fee covers
 access and some basic services (backup  quota), and for
 anything more advanced they want to be charged per
 units used, or per consumed resources. This can be dialog
 time (SSH), disk I/O, disk occupied, pages printed (can happen)
 or pages required to print on exceptional specific forms
 (can happen once or twice a year and is charged with an
 additional fee for fold, staple  mutilate).

 Sounds stupid? I have _real_ customers intendedly
 requesting that payment model (instead of just pay
 amount n Euro a month and do whatever you like).

 Accidentally, I remembered history.

 So I thought: This funcitonality has been present on
 UNIX systems for many decades. But _how_ to use it? I
 know there's the command set for accounting, for example
 the ac command. But what does its output total 7264.15
 mean? There also are acct (process accounting), sa
 (for system accounting) and pac (for printer accounting,
 just dooesn't seem to work with CUPS).

 I'd also like to use the /etc/csh.logout resp. ~/.logout
 mechanism. When a user logs in, he will be presented the
 program he uses (or a menu, in case he uses different ones).
 This can also be a regular remote desktop session. When
 he logs out, a message should be displayed that informs
 him how much will be charged for the session. At the end
 of the month, he should get an invoice with the proper
 accumulated amount.

 For example, if a user wishes to issue a make a backup
 _now_, because I intendedly want _this_ current state
 backed up _now_, this will be seen as additional I/O
 load and disk occupation (because it's handled aside of
 the regular backup runs that should be part of the
 basic package charged with the conneciton fee).
 Or as I said, he issues printing for stuff he cannot
 print at home, so he will be charged for 500 pages.
 And in case he transfers 10 GB data in, and 10 GB data
 out, he will be charged for that traffic, as well as
 for the I/O.

 The sessions in questions will be SSH sessions (text mode)
 as well as SSH/X sessions (remote desktops).

 Maybe someone already uses something similar he wants
 to share? Suggestions and inspirations are welcome.

Re: FreeBSD 8.2 Partition Sizing question

To elaborate on this:

Assuming you have separate /var, /tmp, /usr and /home partitions,
the only files that should be on / are:

1. Part of base system not in /usr
2. Kernels (/boot/kernel)
3. root home directory (/root)

Therefore the size of / does not grow with time on most systems. It
also tends to be independent of what the system is used for, unlike
the size of /usr for example.

On my systems / is between 1.5 gb to 2 gb depending on overall disk
size. /usr is up to 10 gb on desktop systems.

A benefit of having / on its own partition is that it becomes much
harder to run / out of disk space by accident. Checking out source
trees (/usr/ports, /usr/src), building world (/usr/obj), building
ports (/usr/ports), running software that uses
/usr/local/programname/logs for storing its log files, etc. all
have potential to write to /usr if you don't have appropriate
configuration/symlinks/partitions set up to redirect them to the
right places. If your /usr is separate from / then running out of
disk space on /usr is usually harmless.

I think your response follows the excellent pedagogical principle: a
little inaccuracy saves a lot of explanation.  But... disk is still
(by far) the cheapest commodity, and the opportunistic paging
algorithm manages VM very well.  VM is not by any means obsolete, and
seeing paging behavior is not a sign of a misconfigured system.


Well, yes.  I was certainly glossing over a lot of complexity -- but I
would maintain that I am fundamentally correct.

Having some pages swapped out is absolutely not a problem.  True.  In
fact, it's a positive benefit: swapping out memory pages that are
exceedingly rarely referenced makes more room in RAM for more actively
used pages.

On the other hand, having pages continually swapping in and out
definitely is a problem in terms of performance, given that disk IO
takes of the order of milliseconds, while reference to main RAM is of
the order of microseconds or less.  Orders of magnitude faster.

Now, while disk may well be the much the cheapest storage medium
available, that's only part of the expense.  In fact, up-front capital
expenditure on the kit (perhaps several thousand pounds/euros/dollars)
is outweighed by the operational expense (power, cooling, hardware
support etc.) over the life of the equipment, so spending a bit more
(capex) on components that run at lower power (opex) makes a lot of
sense.  Even more, if the server is being used for eg. e-Commerce, then
the volume of the transactions and the data processed by the server
makes all the difference to your margin: the more you can do with the
same hardware - viz, the more efficiently and faster you can make the
hardware run - then the more profit you make.  Buying more RAM is
peanuts on that scale.

Cheers,

Matthew

Use ZFS and you can put / and /usr on different filesystems (zfses),

zfses on the same zpool.) The best of both worlds.

Recommended SWAP space for large amounts of ram (8GB)

2011-09-14 Thread Jonathan Vomacka

Good morning all,

Each operating system seems to have different documentation regarding 
what a decent swap size is for systems with large amounts of RAM. My 
system only has 8GB of RAM. Some people have gone with the general idea 
that 2X the amount of RAM is sufficient but for systems with large 
amounts of memory 1X the amount of RAM is fine. I was also told that 
anything over 2GB of SWAP space will cause performance issues on the 
system and that it is not recommended.


Either from the FreeBSD docs, or based on personal experiences, what is 
the recommended swap space for a 8GB system? Your opinions are greatly 
appreciated

 The old rule of thumb of swap = 2 x RAM dates back to the days when
 128MB RAM was a big deal.  Nowadays, you're likely to have that much in
 your phone, and systems with 128GB RAM are not unknown.

 In these days of plentiful RAM, the new rule of thumb is if you're
 swapping, then you're doing it wrong.  You don't need anything like as
 much swap nowadays, at least, not as compensation for lack of RAM.  You
 may need swap to back eg. tmpfs filesystems.  You don't need swap
 nowadays for system dumps -- any partition with ephemeral data (or no
 data at all) can be used for dumping, and given that minidump capability
 exists now, you don't even need to supply the 1 x RAM + delta required
 for a full dump.

 That swap  2GB resulted in performance problems was certainly true
 once, but I doubt very much that it is still the case in HEAD or the
 upcoming 9.0-RELEASE, nor probably in {7,8}-STABLE.  IIRC the problem
 was due to avoiding integer overflow in some calculations deep inside
 the VM system, which is usually not a hugely difficult problem to fix.

 My recommendation: for systems with 1GB RAM or more, and that don't make
 heavy use of memory filesystems and the like, then 2GB swap is ample,
 and you can probably get away with as little as 1GB at need.

Cheers,

Matthew

1000 user_hz or hz Values in FreeBSD 6.1 (AMD64)

2006-11-03 Thread Jonathan Vomacka

Hello all!,

I have a quick question. I know these options are prevelent in Linux* 
Operating Systems. It's been a while since I used Freebsd. Last night I 
installed FreeBSD 6.1 (AMD64).


For certain reasons, I need the FreeBSD kernel to achieve 1000 Hertz. 
Most linux OS's default at 250 and in order to change it the kernel 
needs to be recompiled. Does this work the same way for FreeBSD 6.1?


If someone could show me how to adjust the values to 1000Hertz that 
would be great.


PS. I have another quick question. I am running AMD64 because I have a 
64 bit system. It's Dual Intel Xeons 64 bit. In the kernel it shows 
AMD64 as machine type, and HAMMER as cpu_type. I assume hammer stands 
for clawhammer/sledgehammer core found in AMD cpus. Because im using 
Intel Xeons should this value be changed? I am unsure what to use for 
the cpu type in the kernel.


Kind Regards,

FreeBSD 6.1 and Counter-Strike: Source Server (SRCDS)

2006-11-03 Thread Jonathan Vomacka

Hello all (again)

I just e-mailed the list before and recieved a response on my last 
question however I have one more problem (which seems to be the biggest 
for me). I am trying to run a Counter-Strike: Source dedicated server 
off FreeBSD 6.1. I previously had it running fine with CentOS but 
because BSD needs linux binaries and such, i have run into a problem.


First off I'd like to say that I already installed linux_base8 (or so i 
think) and have enabled it in rc.conf. I installed the source dedicated 
server files using hldsupdatetool (steams client) NOT the one provided 
by /use/ports/games/linux-steam. I found that the steam client in 
freebsd ports seems a bit outdated since steam doesnt use email and 
logins anymore to install/update steam server files. There used to be a 
problem with the hldsupdatetool which forced people to use the steam 
update tool in the ports collection but I believe thats been fixed now 
because i ran it without any problems (unless theres something i dont know).


In any event to make a long story short, when I try to run srcds, it 
gives me an error and refuses to run.


For all those gameserver people out there and GSP's do you think you 
could lend a hand? I know quite a few gameservers providers that run 
their source servers on freebsd. Maybe im doing something wrong. Could 
someone walk me through how to get source up and running starting from 
scratch on everything I need to do/install in order for source to work?


This is the error im getting when i try to run srcds

chi01-043-36# ./srcds_i686 -game cstrike +hostport 27015 +ip 
208.100.3.190 +maxplayers 12 +map de_dust2 +exec server.cfg +fps_max 600 
-tickrate 100
Failed to open bin/dedicated_i686.so (tier0_i486.so: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory)


Thanks much in advance!
I promise I won't try to bother the list anymore

Kind Regards,
Jonathan
