Perl error in Munin after upgrading Perl

diagnosing packetloss: x-files edition
Guys, The packet loss I asked about earlier is getting weirder and weirder. I managed to track this down to being between two specific hosts exclusively. When I run mtr from saffron to cumin I get packet loss reported on all intermediate routers. When I run mtr from cumin to saffron I get packet loss reported only on the end hop to saffron. But (and here it gets weird) when I run mtr from saffron to any other host on the Internet (although I have not tried exhaustively) I get *no* packet loss at all. So what I expect now is that this is a hardware issue with the NIC in Saffron that only affects the traffic going to cumin and not traffic to any other host. I will swap the NIC in saffron, but I just wanted to check: * can this be caused by the fact that I use fwd rules in ipfw? Both Saffron and Cumin have such rule. * Can this be caused by IP aliassing? With Saffron and cumin use two IP addresses on their NIC. * Anything else? -- Kees Jan http://java-monitor.com/ kjkos...@kjkoster.org +31651838192 I hate unit tests; I much prefer the illusion that there are no errors in my code. -- Hendrik Muller ___ 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
Diagnosing packet loss
Dear All, I am stuck with a machine that shows serious packet loss (about 1% of all traffic is dropped). I tried the obvious (new network cable, different switch port, different ethernet interface on the machine), but the problems remain. Another machine that sits in the same rack and is hooked up to the same switch shows no such packet loss issues. The problematic machine is a dual Opteron with FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE from Thu Aug 11 14:05:47 CEST 2011. The machine is lightly loaded. A MySQL slave is running, but the machine is not serving queries. Plus a Munin server process. I am at a loss where to start diagnosing this. Can you advise me where to look? Are there network buffers that may be overflowing? -- Kees Jan http://java-monitor.com/ kjkos...@kjkoster.org +31651838192 Change is good.

Re: Diagnosing packet loss
Dear Gary, Thank you for your reply. Your comment about dupe IP triggered something that I failed to mention: the interface is aliased. It has two IP addresses. IP address a and it has an alias IP address b. I just tested binding mtr to each of these interfaces separately to measure packet loss. If I use mtr to measure packet loss from saffron (the stricken machine) to cumin (another machine in a different data center) I see the following: saffron (ip address a) - cumin: packet loss saffron (ip address b) - cumin: no packet loss cumin - saffron (ip address a): packet loss cumin - saffron (ip address b): no packet loss This is consistent from running mtr for 5 minutes straight. This to me shows that the hardware is fine. Using the alias IP address I can run with no packet loss for as long as I like. Hum Could it be that my switch does not support IP aliasing? Then why is there packet loss only on one IP and not on both? This is getting weirder and weirder. Kees Jan On 22 Nov 2011, at 22:15, Gary Gatten wrote: Well, 1% is not good but I've seen worse for sure! Sounds like you tried the obvious. I would recommend a different IP to rule out a dupe ip; else it must be NIC related - either hardware or driver. Also, perhaps swap cables and ports with a working machine and see if the problem follows or stays put. - Original Message - From: Kees Jan Koster [mailto:kjkos...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2011 02:33 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Diagnosing packet loss Dear All, I am stuck with a machine that shows serious packet loss (about 1% of all traffic is dropped).

Re: ipfw limit src-addr woes
admin wrote in msgid: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I'm trying to use ipfw's limit clause to limit the number of connections a single IP can have at the same time in a transparent web-proxy environment: 00350 skipto 401 tcp from x.x.x.x/x,y.y.y.y/y,z.z.z.z/z to any dst-port 80 in via if0 setup limit src-addr 10 00401 fwd local.ip.ad.dr,8080 tcp from x.x.x.x/x to any dst-port 80 ... the rest fwd... as I understand the manpage, when the current number of connectiions is below 10, the action skipto is performed, else, the packet is dropped and the search terminates. But... the problem is that the src-addr limit is not enforced as some clients somehow open a huge number (3-5 times the prescribed value) of www-connections to some single address Out There, forcing you to bump up certain sysctl variables (such as kern.ipc.nmbclusters, kern.ipc.maxsockets, etc.) to mitigate the DOS effects.

I use FreeBSD 4.10, nat, ipfw, squid. # Reject Log all unauthorized incoming connections from the public # Internet $cmd 400 deny log all from any to any in via $pif # Reject Log all unauthorized out going connections to the public # Internet $cmd 450 deny log all from any to any out via $pif My question is: can I use this script for ipfw without rules 400 and 450 or it is a potential threat of security of my system? May be we can put me a link to any article about this? With a best regards, Ivanov Ilya. Instead of copying examples to you own system, try to understand exactly what those rules mean.

Using an external lockfile things work pretty much as documented (except for some options that aren't supported by the tool, but which are listed in the manpage). However, for this particular situation, I do not want to use an external lockfile. The manpage seems to imply that without -L/-l, the first sector is used as a lockfile. Indeed, I can init, attach and detach devices without an external lockfile. However, when I attempt to destroy the master key: # gbde destroy /dev/label/storage304 Enter passphrase: Opened with key 0 gbde: No -L option and no space in sector 0 for lockfile Trying to use -L for this particular operation fails: gbde: illegal option -- L Usage error: Invalid option And trying to specify -n -1 as the manpage says also fails: gbde: illegal option -- n Usage error: Invalid option So the question is - how do I destroy the master key (other than dd if=/dev/zero of=...) when not using an external lockfile? (The reason I do not want to use an external lockfile is simply that I do not see a need for it in my situation and I would feel much more comfortable if the gbde volume was self-contained; no need to backup anything else or keep it in synch.)

Does this mean that things did not take? Check if your acl-option is working with mount ( no parameters ) It should give somthing like: /dev/ad1s1g on /mnt (ufs, local, soft-updates, acls) Then give the setfacl command on a file: setfacl -m u::rwx,g:mail:rw file Now you must have a + sign with the ls -la command.

Re: ACL and tunefs
Adam Stroud wrote: I did not try that. When I booted into single user more again and tried the tunefs -a enable / I get a messaged saying that acl was already enabled. Strange. The only hope for you is that the enable bit for acl was set, but not yet read by the system. I think you have to reboot and then you have a change that the acl bit is set and read. Te best way is to have another freebsd system to set acl. Or to choose another slice for your acl experiment. The e-slice is easier to change, but its your choice ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Opera print issues

GDM Greeter cores on FreeBSD
Dear All, I use the Gnome GDM2 greeter in graphical mode, but recent versions of it dump core (signal 6). This happens on both machines that I use it on. One is a desktop and the other is a laptop, so I dounbt it is a hardware issue. My OS is FreeBSD-stable, cvsupped as of this week. I use portupgrade to keep my ports up to date. To reproduce: * install recent (this week) version of FreeBSD's gdm2 port. * start it using the shell script in /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d * choose the configure option * enter root password * pick graphical mode * *churn, churn* *POW* signal 6 warning: GDM greeter will not restart at all after following the above procedure. I removed the port and reinstalled it to fix the problem. Plain mode (default) works fine, so that is what I use now. Anyone else see this problem? How do I fix this?

Re: Opera 7b4 does not render frames properly
Dear Arjan, After starting Opera I surf to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/. I then browse around a bit and after a while I return to the API page. I can still see the frame outlines, but the pages are grey. This is a known bug in B4, it has problems with frame pages. You'll see the same behavior on Google Groups, for example. All betas after B4 don't have this problem. The updated port for B7 is in PR ports/56181 (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=56181), but so far I haven't found a committer to commit it. I have tried the patch. The Makefile part does not seem to apply cleanly becuase of the CVS $FreeBSD$ header. Perhaps that should not be part of the patch. Other than that it works fine. The new version of the port does indeed fix the problem that I was seeing. Thank you for the prompt response.

Opera 7b4 does not render frames properly
Dear All, I am using Opera 7 beta 4, from the ports. I access Java's API site quite a bit, but Opera craps out after a few visits. After starting Opera I surf to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/. I then browse around a bit and after a while I return to the API page. I can still see the frame outlines, but the pages are grey. I witnessed this behaviour on my laptop and my desktop machine (Opera 7, FreeBSD 4.9-prerelease). All my ports are up to date as of today. The Opera knowledge base site is so confusing that I cannot even search properly. I cannot tell if Opera 7b7 is going to fix this issue or not. Is there anyone running b4 that can confirm/deny my story? Is there anyone running b7 that can tell me if they are seeing the same behaviour? Please keep me CC'd as I am not on the list.
