Re: System Still Freezing
Grant Peel wrote: Hi all, Another chapter in the life (and death), of my Dell PE 1850. As you may be aware, I have a PE 1850 that has started to intermitantly freeze (this all started Feb 23rd). SOmetimes, it will run for 2 days, then freeze, sometimes it can run as long as 5 days. All logs and everything turned up to near debug, show nothing. The system just stops dead, and again, a physical suyvey of the server reveals nothing. All lights still working and blinking, no excessive heat not beeps etc etc. A week ago, I ran every 32 bit Dell diagnostic I could on it ... for 4 hours straight and not 1 error found. I also ran memetst86 for 3 hours and no errors found. I don't have an answer for you, but I had a very similar problem. It's why I'm running FreeBSD now. I had RedHat 9 installed on a Dell 2650 running Apache 2, Postfix, Postgresql, Bind ... My system has a DRAC, raid, and a single processor. Actually I have 2 identical servers. One server is only for backup and lightly used and it never had a problem. The symptoms on my primary server were exactly the same. Sometimes it would seize up twice in one week. Sometimes it would run for weeks. The weird thing was that it would respond to pings. However no system services responded and the console was totally unresponsive. In frustration after not being able to figure out what was causing the problem, I decided to try FreeBSD 6 Stable. End of problem. I never figured out if it was the operating system, or an application or what. If you're desperate, you might want to try the opposite: load Linux.

Re: Ping timeout

Most of the time the server works fine but it is not available early mornings and weekends. The machine is physically at my workplace and has a static IP mapped to it by a Service provider. When I say not available I am unable to ping it from home and a tracert also fails. When it started happening I went to my work place to see if the server was down, But it has always been up and running. Also even if the server is not rebooted the machine becomes accessible after some time. Thinking it to be a network problem I have complained to the ISP but they are unable to provide any solution. Is it possible that a freebsd machine sleeps after being idle for some time? Early mornings and weekends is the time when no one is in office that's why am asking. Sorry if this sounds stupid but I ab unable to figure out the cause so though I should give it a try on this list. I bet that your initial diagnosis is correct: your Internet connection at work is going down periodically. You need to try to get to work early or on the weekend when the problem is happening, and ideally have somebody at home or wherever you're doing the tracert from. It could also be a DNS problem. When you ping your server, are you pinging it by name or by IP address? Also, do you manage the firewall that your server sits behind?

Comparing that flow to a normal session, I see that there are some extra packets between the initial SYN and the sending of the GET phrase that do not exist during a successful session. I'm running 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Thu Aug 18 (built from the stable source as of that day). I'm using apache 1.3.34. I was on 1.3.33 and rebuilt the port to see if that was the problem. I'm not sure if this is an apache problem or a FreeBSD problem. Any suggestions on further troubleshooting or known issues? Thank you! Jerry On a couple of occasions, I've had a similar problem that was the result of Apache having multiple processes running, and 1 of the running processes was failing while all the others were okay. Try refreshing about 20 times and see if the problem comes and goes or if it only occurs on the first connection. In any event, restarting Apache fixed the problem for me. -- Ken Stevenson Allen-Myland Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, I still am guessing the problem lies in individual slices' boot sectors and not the MBR. just try and set the bootable flags in the slices the way you think they should be and see what happens. In sysinstall I toggle bootable but it puts an 'A' which seems to mean auto-bootable. I can only set one 'A' here. -- Peter I tend to agree with Jerry and others that the problem is not with the MBR, but with the Windows boot sector in the first partition. If that's true, you can't fix it with sysintall or FreeBSD. You have fix it with Windows tools. If you were running Windows 2000 or XP in the Windows partition, I would recommend that you use the Windows 2000 System Recovery Console and run the fixboot program to install a new Windows boot sector on the Windows partition. If you're running an older version of Windows, you need to find out what tool it uses to restore a boot sector. Chances are in the process you'll wipe out the FreBSD MBR which you'll have to fix using FreeBSD. I guess that's where boot0cfg comes in, but I've never used it. The best advice, though, is to backup everything you can before proceeding. -- Ken Stevenson Allen-Myland Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: sshd / ssh setup

Trying to setup the USA server and his windows/xp notebook to use SSH. Added sshd_enable=YES to USA site server rc.conf and rebooted system. During boot process, followed sshd instruction and built the root user keys. Have read the handbook but have no clue as how to proceed. The handbook covers all the many different ssh config options, but does not say how to really use it. There are a lot of options here, but here's how I do it. Not necessarily the best way, but it works for me. Need procedures to 1. setup users on FreeBSD target sshd server. Create a regular login for each outside user using adduser. Make sure port 22tcp is open inbound. Login as that user and run: ssh-keygen -t rsa I don't have many users so I disable ChallengeResponse authentication and require users to submit keys. To do that, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and set: ChallengeResponse no I also set: Protocol 2 2. setup users on FreeBSD remote box to ssh to sshd server. Have them run the same ssh-keygen -t rsa Tell them to send you ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub Concatenate that to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 files in their home directory on your server. Make sure the key ends up on a new line in authorized_keys2. If there wasn't a newline at the end of the file previously, it will end up concatenating it to the end of whatever keys are already there. If that happens, just go in with a text editor and break the line. The user should then be able to ssh into your box. 3. setup users on windows/xp remote box to ssh to sshd server. Install Putty http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Run puttygen and generate an SSH2 RSA key (select this at the bottom of the dialog box). Tell them to save the public and private keys, and then to copy the contents of the Public key for pasting.. field at the top of the screen, paste it into a file in notepad, and email it to you. Concatenate that to the end of their ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file as you did for your freebsd users. If they're going to be logging in often, tell them to run pageant to cache the private key. Then they can run putty and connect to your server. Again, you might not want to do it this way if you don't want to mess around with having users send you keys, but it's a lot more secure. Pretty soon you'll be be getting a 100 or more hits a day from crackers trying to log into your system.

Run sockstat -4l and see what commands are listening on the ports in question. -- Ken Stevenson Allen-Myland Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For the sake of argument, let's say I am trying to get the port editors/fte running on my Windows box via an SSH tunnel. I am running WindowsXP, cygwin's X11 server, and PUTTY. As far as I can tell from all my Googling, this should actually be quite simple: - openssh is setup on FreeBSD with X11Forwarding=yes - I start the cygwin X-server (XWin -ac -multiwindow) - Putty is configured to forward X11 sessions - I connect via Putty - running '$ fte' from the FreeBSD command line should supposedly open everything up now on my Windows box, but it does not. From what I understand, when I connect now via Putty the env variable DISPLAY should be set. But it is not (which is the error fte gives me when I try to run it). If I try to manually set the DISPLAY variable (I tried localhost:0, localhost:0.0, ip:0, ip:0.0) it still doesn't work. editors/fte is fully installed (with X11libs and all that) but I wonder if there is more I need installed on the FreeBSD end to make things work. I really appreciate your time and any assistance you can render. I'm new to FreeBSD, so I may be off base, but I use vncserver on my FreeBSD box when I need an X session. Then I just setup Putty to forward port 5900 to 127.0.0.0:5901, make an ssh connection to my FreeBSD server, run UltraVNC on my Windows box and connect to localhost. -- Ken Stevenson Allen-Myland Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have been told VNC is a good way to go as well, but some have mentioned some performance issues. What have you found? It works liveably well? It works great for me. I have a pretty fast internet connection (cable modem). One thing I like about it is the session doesn't end when you disconnect. You can start a long running process like cvsup, disconnect, and come back later to check on it. Unlike when you vnc to a Windows box, you don't get the X session that's on the local workstation, you get a new one. If you need to connect to the primary X session, like for remote support, there's a version of VNC in the ports for that too (xvnc?). -- Ken Stevenson Allen-Myland Inc. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
