About Transparent Superpages and Non-transparent superapges
Hello, 1. Transparent Superpages was in FreeBSD for a few years. I would like to know if there is any benchmark or real world performance experience about this setting. 2. I have seen somewhere that non-transparent superpages was being developed in HEAD too. Any insight on it? Please correct me if it is not the case.

Maximum number established TCP connection
Hello I would like if there is a (countable) limit for the max TCP connection of a Apache web server. Suppose: 1. An apache web server serves a very big iso file. 2. 5000 people tried to connect to the apache server to get the iso file. 3. They connect to the server gradually (not 5000 people starting at the same moment). So that there will not be a problem caused by the TCP backlog limit. 4. There will be 5000 established TCP connections. Is it true that FreeBSD could handle 'unlimited' established TCP connections as long as it has enough CPU power and memory?

The FreeBSD limit on the number of open TCP connections is significantly higher than the Apache limit on the number of concurrent HTTP sessions. I believe Apache has a hard limit of 256. That's a compile-time option in apache-1.3.x -- you can set APACHE_HARD_SERVER_LIMIT in /etc/make.conf to override the default of 512 if required. However in apache-2.2.x it seems the limits are imposed entirely by the MPM settings in httpd.conf -- at least, I cannot find any tunables in the port Makefiles. Interesting. I found this: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mpm_common.html#serverlimit Which claims the hard limit is 20,000. So I guess my information is a bit out of date. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com Hello I have checked the link and dig deeper. For prefork model: One connection should be served by one httpd child process. The default limit, as most of you had said, it should be MaxClients or ServerLimit (default is 256 described in apache manual). If worker model is used, the max connection limit should still be MaxClients, but there are other related parameters which affect the limit. (ThreadsLimit, ServerLimit, ThreadsPerChild). ps: Each directive (eg. ServerLimit) may have different meanings in different MPM.

Re: FreeBSD 6.2 default bind9, question about customize logging [re-post] (solved)

It's not a major issue, but it's probably worth pointing out that
whatever code base you use (base or ports) the behavior such as
chroot, logging, etc. is controlled by the combination of
/etc/rc.d/named and your named.conf options. Therefore this
discussion
applies equally well either way.
I use FreeBSD 6.2 with the named come with the base.
/etc/rc.conf
named_enable=YES # Run named, the DNS server (or NO).
named_program=/usr/sbin/named # path to named, if you want a
different one.
#named_flags= # Flags for named
named_pidfile=/var/run/named/pid # Must set this in named.conf as
well
named_uid=bind# User to run named as
named_chrootdir=/var/named# Chroot directory (or not to
auto-chroot it)
named_chroot_autoupdate=YES # Automatically install/update chrooted
# components of named. See
/etc/rc.d/named.
named_symlink_enable=YES # Symlink the chrooted pid file
When named start or stop, it does have log in /var/log/messages.
But for example, when some do domain transfer successfully, that
is not
logged (zone transfer denied is logged).
I have intentionally avoided adding more complex logging to the
default named.conf because it's very hard to decide which way to land
on this to make the most people happy (and/or the least people mad).
I
am of course always open to suggestions. :)
I need to log successful domain transfer for debugging purpose (which
slave/client has done domain transfer at what time).
So I tried to add this part in named.conf (enabled local0.* in
syslog.conf) , but still no luck. Any suggestions?
The obvious ones, did you HUP the daemon after you changed the conf,
and did you pre-create any new files that syslogd is supposed to
write
to for the local0 facility? Can you share your syslog.conf line for
this? Do you get any joy when you try 'logger -plocal0.info blah' ?
logging {
channel named-log {
While I don't see that it's explicitly forbidden to use a - in a
channel name, every example I've ever seen or used myself uses an
underscore instead (named_log).
//syslog daemon;
syslog local0;
severity info;
print-category yes;
};
category default { named-log; };
category xfer-in { named-log; };
category xfer-out { named-log; };
category unmatched { null; };
};
This all looks good (modulo the - issue I mentioned above), and I use
something similar myself, so once you're sure you can write to the
syslog facility, you should be able to get this to work.
I should probably also point out that unless you really need this to
go to syslog, you're probably better off writing to a file channel
instead (less overhead, especially on a busy server). Either way
there
is information in the ARM that will help you,
/usr/share/doc/bind9/arm.
After furher testing, I got my problem solved.
1. I found named-log is ok to use.
2. I did not need to change my previous named.conf.
3. The problem is in /etc/syslog.conf
With the default /etc/syslog.conf, I have add a line:
local0.*/var/log/messages
There is a difference on where I put it, if I put it at the bottom of
the file, even `logger -p local0.info test` will not work.
If it put that line on the top-most of syslog.conf, everything is
working fine...
BTW, could anyone explain why putting local0.* /var/log/messages at the
bottom of syslog.conf will not work?

Patrick

FreeBSD6 NATT L2TP IPSEC
Hi I have ipsec-tools's freebsd6 natt patch on the kernel. Run ipsec-tools(racoon with natt). NATT should work (I see phase 2 message pass between client (XP) and the FreeBSD server. Windows behind NAT (registry changed to do NATT) It seems the l2tpd (from ports 0.69) does not start (which call pppd). Has anyone get success with FreeBSD6+NATT+L2TP-IPSEC ? __ Yahoo!

Resired features/wish list for FreeBSD
Hi First of all, I know that most commiters or contributors contribute their work in their free time. I am not asking for any promise but I just want to discuss possible improvement for FreeBSD. OK, after using FreeBSD for some time, I would like to see FreeBSD have these features/improvements: 1) OpenLDAP Integration FreeBSD has OpenLDAP support in the ports, but I think it would be great if FreeBSD support LDAP out of the box (just like Solaris and most Linux distro) There are areas to improve: - nsswitch (it's in the ports) But it only support passwd and group now. - naming cache daemon (nscd) Without this one, the workstation will query the LDAP server everytime with just very simple command like ls. A lookupd is in the ports but it would be great if it is integrated and/or improved. 2) A stable software raid implementation To my knowledge, vinum is not very stable in 5.x. 3) Java improvement It seems that the development has been stopped after JDK 1.3.1/1.4.2 for a long time. Java performance in FreeBSD is not very good. 4) Some nice ports are broken in 5.x Like tripwire 2.3.1.2_3 Regards Patrick _ ... http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=22281/*http://ringtone.yahoo.com.hk/ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's one thing to state your opinion (which you've done), and another to support it. I don't mean to be rude, but it does take a bit more to get something moved into the base install. It can't just be more convenient to you, it has to improve the system for the entire user base of FreeBSD, or at least the majority of those users that express their opinion. Let me explain more. The integeration with OpenLDAP is like the integration of OpenPAM, OpenSSH, AMD automounter and Bind (what we have now). We have default opie support and kerberos support (requries recompile FreeBSD) in OpenPAM. So lets discuss whether people find native ldap authentication support in OpenPAM useful or not. I haved tried Redhat. Their installer has support for workstation ldap logon authentication against the ldap server, which is handy. 3) Java improvement It seems that the development has been stopped after JDK 1.3.1/1.4.2 for a long time. I don't know what you define as a long time, but jdk 1.5 was only recently released. I assume you didn't expect it to be ported before it was released. OK, I should say: No newer patchset has been released for a long time for JDK 1.3.1/1.4.2. I am not referring to JDK 1.5. Java performance in FreeBSD is not very good. Prove it. I'm sure java@ would be interested in seeing your proof and even more interested in seeing patches. I have tried this web site http://rsb.info.nih.gov/nih-image/java/benchmarks/sieve.html On the same machine, Linux gives me twice score over FreeBSD.

Mount name length limit (MNAMELEN)

Curious question about FreeBSD's TCP/IP and SMP locking
Hi After browsing the *BSD cvsweb site, I have found that FreeBSD-current's TCPIP code has added locking/mutex in it. I am not programmer but I want to know what is the use of adding so much locks/mutex in the stack? Also, would it make a newbie/beginner feel difficult to understand the code (I mean the TCP/IP part)?
