Re: Adding interfaces to bridge0

hello;

This is the situation:

Using FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE

I have benn using qemu to roll a windows XP machine, using a bridge to
interface tap0 and rl0 on the same network my efault route board (xl0) is.

I was working great. A few days ago , I updated src/sys (kernel - because of
a java issue), recompiled  installed. Yesterday I needed to rum XP. I
started qemu and  windows started fine, the netword hardware came in fine
but I had no connectivity ate all. I pinged out from windows but tcpdump
would only report packets from tap0.

I tried recompiling qemu/kqemu but no change.

I closed qemu and tried to set up the bridge manually. That's when I found
why:

kldload if_bridge

ifconfig bridge0 create
OK

ifconfig bridge0 addm rl0 addm tap0 up

ifconfig: BRDGADD rl0: Invalid argument
ifconfig: BRDGADD tap0: Invalid argument

I have 3 network boards on my machine and this happens when I try to add any
of them.

Could this be due to kernel out-of-sync with userland?
something else?



depends how out of sync? if more then a couple of days, you really
should keep both userland and kernel in sync as it mos likely the
problem.

Re: bind9 in a jail

2007-04-10 Thread Kimi Ostro

i was setting up bind9 today in 2 jails.  1 jails is the master, and the

work as expected.

setting up the slave, was not so smooth.  i recovered my named.conf from
backup, and then removed the external portion of the zones (i dont feel like
messing with trouble invovlved with setting up the 2nd ip on the jail).
over
the past few days while i was setting this up, the master was already in
operation, and has had several edits to a few zones.  when i reloaded the
slave versions from backup into my new slave, and started named, the slaved
did not update their zonefiles to match the new serial numbers.i fixed
this by stopping named, deleting the zone files, and restarting it again.
thankfully, the slave zones all instantly populated, creating matching
serial
numbers to the ones that are running on the master.

do master-to-slave transfers work as expected in a jail, or did i just see
some abnormal behavior (possibly due to me not waiting long enough for
transfer to happen on its own)?

thanks,

Its an error in your config, as running BIND works perfectly fine
under a jail in Master/Slave config for me.

Without seeing config, cant really help or maybe better on the BIND
mailing list?

Re: trouble with HT

2007-04-05 Thread Kimi Ostro

On 6.X including RELENG_6 you need to use the SMP kernel config in
src/sys/i386/conf and on CURRENT just use GENERIC kernel config.

then add machdep.hyperthreading_allowed =1 to /boot/loader.conf

reboot

the other factor in HyperThreading which some forgot is whether you
BIOS has support, and whether it is enabled.

works for me on a 2.8GHz Northwood on Intel 865G.

Hello Freebsd Gurus!
I set up the test server with Windows 2003 to play. Now I'm trying to
add a hostname to our existing domain: newhostname.domain.com The
server runs FreeBSD 6.2 with pf firewall.
I added ip address and hostname to /etc/hosts Is there anything else

If you not using DNS server on you network, you need to edit the host
file on both systems on FreeBSD as you know has this in /etc and on
Windows it is %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc - just remember to
keep them in sync, Both Windows and FreeBSD can use the same hosts
file.

Longterm solution, setup a DNS server.

Thank you. The server runs dns service.
How do I add it to your DNS server config?



We need more info. Who/What is running the DNS server? if it's
Windows, look at the documentation or do a web search. Same goes for
FreeBSD, although maybe look at this:
http://www.arda.homeunix.net/dnssetup.html

 Who is doing DNS (name service) for your domain? That entity will
 need to know about the new hostname. If you are doing DNS for
 your domain, then you will have to add it to your DNS server
 config.

the jail manpage is easy enough to follow, but IMO mastering management and

i know many have recommended that i try ezjail and such, but im one of those 
guys who refuses to pay someone to fix my own car until i fully understand why 
such an operation is too far above my head.  same glutton for pain stance for 
me on computer stuff too... i force myself to understand the canonical methods 
first, before i start taking advantage of shortcuts.

so... how do i get over or past this error?



do you fiddle with securelevels? check the file flags on
/lib/libcrypt.so.3 with ls -lo

also what is value of sysctl security.jail.chflags_allowed ?

I used a different strategy:

/var/jail/jail0 - contains a full buildworld
/var/jail/jail1 - is a unionfs from jail0
/var/jail/jailX - as jail1

jail0 has nfs mounted /usr/src and /usr/obj - this way I can jexec 1
/bin/csh do the whole buildworld mergemaster dance - only thing that
is nullfs mounted is /tmp. I also do a mksnap_ffs before updating just
incase things break  change security.jail.chflags_allowed before and
after the installworld part.

Hi.


Hi


I have installed the latest super karamba for kde 3.5.4 on my freebsd
6.2release amd64.


I notice SuperKaramba is very Linuxcentric, sadly.


I installed a theme called GlassMonitor that is supposed to show some
statistics about cpu, memory, disks and internet traffic.
It detects some  of them but not all. It doesnt detect the cpu frequency,
cpu temp, ip address and partitions.
I dont know how does karamba work, thats why I need help. Do you know if it
can be a problem with the theme, karamba or some kernel configuration??


http://netdragon.sourceforge.net/ssuperkaramba.html - look under
Useful Links header.


Thanks for any help.

p.s. I would like to know where the theme scripts are installed?


probably in ~/.kde

so typing in
find ~/.kde -iname glass*

might give some hint as to where may be.

Ports maintainer or adopting a port

2007-03-30 Thread Kimi Ostro

Hello list

Not sure if this is appropriate for this list, basically I am looking
to hear from past, current and future ports maintainers:

is it fun? what are the requirements? (besides time) what does it mean
to you? do you recommend it? best way to get started? what do I need
to know about FreeBSD  Ports?

I am looking at adopting a port or two and looking to gain more
insight, maybe someone that can do projects page for ports? which
holds a list of unmaintained ports??

hacking /boot dir

2007-03-23 Thread Kimi Ostro

Hi list,

I am currently messing around with one of my /boot directories and
would like to create a custom menu.

Q1, is there a way to create a ficl binary from /sys/boot ?
Q2, is it okay to have one /boot directory shared between CURRENT and RELENG_X ?
Q3, other then learning Forth, any tips?

I was hacking away at beastie.4th but everytime I create a new menu
entry and disable another one, the loader either panics or has BTX
crash. so having a ficl binary can make life just a little easier I
think.

ps. please CC me
