Combining netcat with fifos results in stuck queues/sbwait
I was hoping to establish a simple processing server using nc(1). After finding numerous examples of combining netcat with fifos (named pipes) I am unable to establish a reliable setup. E.g. following the example of the canonical netcat server: server: #mkfifo backpipe #nc -l 4242 backpipe | tr -u [:lower:] [:upper:] backpipe client: #mkfifo frontpipe #nc localhost 4242 frontpipe testfile.out #cat testfile.in frontpipe For any non-trivially small testfile I inevitably end up with the processes at both ends stuck in sbwait. I have managed to avoid the stuck condition by setting the TCP buffer sizes at both ends: nc -I 2048 -O 1024 with a resulting throughput of ~40kB/s (and a supplementary problem of truncation). There are other oddities, such as not using the fifo on the client end: #nc -I 2048 -O 1024 localhost 4242 testfile.in testfile.out also results in stuck processes. So far I've tried on 8.2/8.3 i386 and amd64. The full implementation is planned to use fifos for input and output along with fd redirection but attempts using that have fared no better. Can anyone provide a secret-sauce recipe for netcat/fifo success?

I encountered two issues using them in FreeBSD (7.4-RELEASE i386): 0) The automatic reset for programming generally didn't work for me. However after judicious experimentation I was able to time a manual reset of the board being programmed by waiting for the Binary sketch size: message to appear in the Arduino IDE and timing a reset from that (about 2-3 seconds in my case). 1) Initially I found with the first two boards I worked with that I was unable to program them from FreeBSD until I had successfully programmed them from a system running Windows. It seems too bizarre to be true and it seems more likely that I hadn't latched on to some key element of successfully programming from the FreeBSD environment. Nevertheless in both cases having programmed them from the Windows machine I subsequently had immediate success from FreeBSD. Two of the boards I'm using are clones made by Freetronics. I'm also using some Pro mini boards made by SparkFun programmed via an FTDI breakout cable. I am now programming all of the boards successfully from FreeBSD.

when I use the follow command:
#sed -e '/GROUP/{/Test/}! d' test
then output error:
sed: 1: /GROUP/{/Test/}! d
: command } expects up to 0 address(es), found 1
But this command under linux is OK,how can I do?
Try:
sed -e '/GROUP/{/Test/!d;}'
or:
sed -e '/GROUP/{' -e '/Test/!d' -e '}'

Re: Any awk gurus on the list?
On Fri, 2010-08-20 at 12:12 -0500, Paul Schmehl wrote:
I'm trying to figure out how to use awk to parse values from a string of
unknown length and unknown fields using awk, from within a shell script, and
write those values to a file in a certain order.
Here's a typical string that I want to parse:
alert ip
[50.0.0.0/8,100.0.0.0/6,104.0.0.0/5,112.0.0.0/6,173.0.0.0/8,174.0.0.0/7,176.0.0.0/5,184.0.0.0/6]
any - $HOME_NET any (msg:ET POLICY Reserved IP Space Traffic - Bogon Nets
2;
classtype:bad-unknown; reference:url,www.cymru.com/Documents/bogon-list.html;
threshold: type limit, track by_src, count 1, seconds 360; sid:2002750;
rev:10;)
What I want to do is extract the value after sid:, the value after
reference: and the value after msg: and insert them into a file that
would
look like this:
2002750 || ET POLICY Reserved IP Space Traffic - Bogon Nets 2 ||
url,www.cymru.com/Documents/bogon-list.html
Probably not a complete solution for your problem domain but you might
glean an idea or two from this:
awk 'BEGIN {FS=\\(|; *} /#/ {next} {for(i=1;i=NF;i++) print
$i}' mtc.rules.test | awk 'BEGIN {FS=: ; OFS= || } $1 ==
sid {sid=$2} $1 == msg {msg=$2} $1 == reference {ref=$2}
$1 == ) {print sid,msg,ref}'
Yes, I know I could do this easily in Perl. I'm doing this to try and
improve
my understanding of awk. I *think* I've figured out that the right approach
is
to use an associative array, and this command:
No need for an array unless you want to retain the records for later
processing. For simple record-by-record processing scalar vars suffice.
# awk '!/#/ { for (i=1; i=NF; i++) { if ( $i ~ /sid/) {mtcmsg[sid]=$i;
print
mtcmsg[sid]}}}' /usr/local/etc/snort/rules/mtc.rules.test
A couple of things to note:
$i ~ /sid/ : will match the string sid anywhere within the
field - either use ~ /^sid$/ or == sid for exact matching
mtcmsg[sid] : references the scalar var named sid (which is
empty = mtcmsg[])
Of course, if you choose to you can also just execute some
run-of-the-mill regex matches and string manipulations in awk:
awk '!/#/ {s1=match($0, sid:[^;]*); if (s1) sid=substr($0,
RSTART+4, RLENGTH-4); s2=match($0, msg:[^;]*); if (s2)
msg=substr($0, RSTART+4, RLENGTH-4); s3=match($0,
reference:[^;]*); if (s3) ref=substr($0, RSTART+10,
RLENGTH-10); if (s1*s2*s3) print sid || msg || ref}'
mtc.rules.test
but that lacks any real awk-ness.

You might find the thread containing this message useful for a little background info: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2007-April/003469.html It looks as though the linux_base package now includes the lp script suggested in that message: %cat /usr/compat/linux/usr/bin/lp #!/bin/sh - exec /usr/bin/lpr $@ %pkg_which /usr/compat/linux/usr/bin/lp linux_base-fc-4_15 For some time now I have been happily printing via lpd from Acrobat Reader to a network-connected postscript printer by selecting the Custom printer option in Acrobat Reader's print dialogue using its default /usr/bin/lp command.

There have already been good suggestions for you to choose from. I'll
just add my bucketful to the TIMTOWTDI pool:
Since you weren't specific about the format of the log data that you're
attempting to parse (keep that in mind for future questions):
# ifconfig | grep ether
ether 02:00:20:75:43:34
ether 00:40:05:10:b9:79
# ifconfig | sed -nE 's/.*ether (([[:xdigit:]]{2}:){5}[[:xdigit:]]{2}).*/\1/p'
02:00:20:75:43:34
00:40:05:10:b9:79
# ifconfig | sed -nE 's/.*ether ([[:xdigit:]:]+).*/\1/p'
02:00:20:75:43:34
00:40:05:10:b9:79
# ifconfig | sed -nE 's/.*ether ([0-9a-f:]+).*/\1/p'
02:00:20:75:43:34
00:40:05:10:b9:79
# ifconfig | sed -nE '/ether/s/.*([0-9a-f:]{17}).*/\1/p'
02:00:20:75:43:34
00:40:05:10:b9:79
And then there's:
# ifconfig | grep ether | cut -d -f 2
02:00:20:75:43:34
00:40:05:10:b9:79
But my preference would be:
# ifconfig | awk '/ether/ {print $2}'

I'm not aware of any PC-grade fan that would be capable of running beyond its design limits in normal use. More likely is that the fan is thermally controlled, but on halt the control is being set to full speed which might be annoying but is not a problem for the fan per se.

one awk expression gets them all.
The way to deal with that is to specify a pattern to match something
that distinguishes each form of log line that you want to extract from.

I see similar results on all of four systems I tried here - an order of
magnitude difference between perl (fastest) and sed, and awk slightly
slower than perl. All running perl 5.8.8. I did a handful of manual runs
and took the most consistent-looking results. Source file was a 62MB
apache log with 232k records.
Interestingly an Ubuntu system exhibited a similar difference between
perl and sed, but its awk was slightly faster than perl.
In order to get meaningful data for this sort of test you should
do a dummy run or two of each command in fairly quick succession,
and then repeat your test runs a number of times and look at the
average and standard deviation of the execution times. ...
Yeah, Hoyle would like that. But for me, I think the results
are clear enough without all the messing with statistical
computations. 10 to 1 or better is good enough for me to think
there's some major difference. That said, it would appear that
caching can make a difference - which is why I put the Perl
invocation first ... so it would be running without the benefit
of caching. But I don't believe I was entirely successful in
that effort. The very first time I ran this, which was also the
very first time in a whole day that the klog file had been
accessed, the first Perl invocation took about 2 seconds of
real time and still only 0.7 seconds of user time. I don't
believe caching explains the execution speed disparity.
It was mentioned that this function is made for awk, so I tried
that as well. It is also evidently not as quick as Perl at
doing the job. The time shown above is quite consistent with a
number of other runs I've tried with awk.
Keep in mind that awk, while producing a comparable result, likely uses
quite a different parsing strategy. While the comparison is interesting
for this particular test-case, different circumstances could produce
very different results.
I suspect a real Perl internals maven could explain this. I
have some ideas but they're conjecture. Perhaps some effort to
improve execution efficiency in sed and awk would not be wasted?
My conjecture is this: the implementation of pcre that perl uses most
likely has good optimisation for the ends with .* part of the pattern
(vs sed). While the result is certainly interesting and perhaps
surprising[1], it is for a single, simple pattern which is far too
little to draw much in the way of conclusions from - except perhaps that
extracting the first field from a data source with many records can
possibly be effected more rapidly with perl or awk than sed.
Nevertheless, I've always dismissed perl as being heavy and slow
through anecdotal evidence and the results you found are a pertinent
reminder that assumptions like that are never worthy.

I'm trying to use maildrop as MDA with sendmail, but I'm facing some troubles. That is, since some of my local users don't have defined a home dir, when maildrop is set to delivery mode (-d $u) in sendmail.cf, as shown in sendmail docs: FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/local/bin/maildrop', `maildrop -d $u') the following message starts to show: Aug 15 11:43:25 host1 maildrop[75586]: Unable to change to home directory. If, on the other hand, I set it in sendmail as in manual mode: FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/local/bin/maildrop', `maildrop /usr/local/etc/maildroprc') The maildrop processes start to grow, and the following message starts to show: Aug 15 12:02:32 host1 sm-mta[83296]: m7FEvVMM083288: timeout waiting for input from host1.mydomain.com during client greeting Aug 15 12:02:32 host1 sm-mta[83296]: m7FEvVMM083288: smtpquit: mailer local exited with exit value 75 It seems that no message body is sent to maildrop. Does any of you have successfully configured maildrop+sendmail in an scenario like that? I don't use the 'local_procmail' feature of sendmail so can't comment on those specific issues. I have a mail server using sendmail/maildrop and use /etc/mail/virtusertable and /etc/mail/aliases, e.g.: [EMAIL PROTECTED] user-alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] user-alias user-alias:| /usr/local/bin/maildrop -d [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know off-hand whether or how using the 'local_procmail' feature impacts on the use of aliases and virtusertable, but there might be a solution in there for you.

Re: general question - php5 extensions
On Fri, 2008-07-11 at 22:47 -0400, Brad Mettee wrote: Ok, maybe I wasn't as clear as I should have been. It wasn't that I didn't find php5-extensions, or even that it's difficult to use, but actually tracking down the php5-extensions directory in the first place was somewhat of a problem because there is no mention anywhere of it in the lang/php5 doc files. I finally stumbled on a reference to it in a 2 year old doc I found on google while looking for how to make .so extension extensions be found by php. Sometimes in these situations a little bit of lateral thinking can be helpful. A couple of quick searches may have found you what you wanted: %locate php | grep extension /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions/Makefile /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions/pkg-descr /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions/Makefile /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions/pkg-descr %cd /usr/portsmake quicksearch name=extension | grep -i php Port: php4-extensions-1.0 Path: /usr/ports/lang/php4-extensions Info: A meta-port to install PHP extensions Port: php5-extensions-1.1 Path: /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions Info: A meta-port to install PHP extensions Alternatively pipe to less(1) rather than grep(1) and use its search (/) which can help to locate context-related information which might otherwise be hidden by the more rigid grep filtering. There's also a couple of extensions not in the php5-extensions list, but I found them as well (samba share, dir php5-* /ad /s starting in the /usr/ports directory helped a lot). find(1) will help you kick that nasty MS-DOS habit: find /usr/ports -type d -name php5-* and even: ls -d /usr/ports/*/php5-* could help reduce gratuitous use of SMB. If you feel strongly enough that the existing documentation is inadequate, you always have the option of submitting a PR to suggest that it be changed, and also of submitting patches that implement your suggestion.

natd and jails for multipel IP addresses
I'm trying to add a second IP address to an existing jail
using natd and I must be missing something.
Setup:
HOST_IP The host, attached to fxp0
JAIL_IP The existing, working jail
2ND_IP The IP address I'm trying to natd to the jail
I've got ipfw rules to catch traffic to/from the new IP and nothing
blocking them:
00300 divert 8668 ip from any to 2ND_IP via fxp0
00310 divert 8668 ip from 2ND_IP to any via fxp0
natd is running with:
/sbin/natd -log -verbose -redirect_address JAIL_IP 2ND_IP -alias_address
JAIL_IP
But, natd seems to be translating the source, not the dest IP:
% ping 2ND_IP
yields:
Out {default}[ICMP] [ICMP] HOST_IP - 2ND_IP 8(0) aliased to
[ICMP] JAIL_IP - 2ND_IP 8(0)
Whereas, I would expect this to do:
HOST_IP - 2ND_IP
translated to
HOST_IP - JAIL_IP
and the reverse.
WTH am I missing here?

PortSnap problems relocating ports
I've been using portsnap on 6.x systems for some time now with no problems. I decided to move /usr/ports and /usr/src to their own filesystem, /build, to make it easier to backup the important system stuff. I also relocated /var/db/portsnap to /build/db/portsnap. I thought I could edit /etc/portsnap.conf to reflect the new location, and do things as before. I edited WORKDIR and PORTSDIR, and set PORTSDIR (env var) but now I get: # portsnap fetch portsnap: Directory does not exist or is not writable: /var/db/portsnap Looks like it's ignoring portsnap.conf. So I explicitly name it: # portsnap -f /etc/portsnap.conf fetch portsnap: Directory does not exist or is not writable: /var/db/portsnap Same thing. What's up? So instead I specify both on the command line: # portsnap -d /build/db/portsnap -p /build/ports fetch Ahh now it works. Bug? Or am I doing something wrong. Which brings up the next question: What's the best way to relocate the source and ports? I could grab the dull hatchet and sym-link all the defaults to the new locations.

I tried dropping to single user and running sysinstall, but it protests it can't write to the device... even when I only had things mounted read-only. Can I safely use the boot CD to do this? I don't want to experiment too much and clobber the whole drive! -Thanks, Wayne ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Reducing reserved space on large filesystems
I was very interested to read the following written by Matthew Seaman in
2004.
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-January/033754.html
The parameters given to newfs(8) don't depend on the size of the
filesystem, so much as the size of the files you intend to store
within it, and the sort of directory structure you want to use
(ie. how many files per directory) Many of the tunables in newfs(8) to
do with the details of disk geometry don't make sense with modern
drives and should be ignored.
You should try running 'newfs -N' with various values for the '-g'
average file size and '-h' average numbers of files per directory
parameters to see what sort of numbers it spits out. You don't have
to be too accurate with those file size and files per directory
estimates -- order of magnitude is generally good enough. Unless
you're going to be storing exceptionally large files (say, typical
size 20Mb) or you want to have directories with 5,000 or more files in
them, then just using the newfs(8) default values will work very well.
One thing you can do for any file system over about 256Mb is drop the
free space reserve ('-m' option in newfs(8), or it can be modified in
an existing filesystem using tunefs(8)). 1% is more than adequate if
you're creating a multi-gigabyte filesystem.
I'm especially interested in the comment about the 'free space reserve'
which flies in the face of everything I can recall ever reading that has
always mirrored the warnings in tuning(7) and tunefs(8) about the perils
of reducing the reserved space below the default. However I didn't see
any reply to Matthew's email to repudiate his statements.
What are people's experiences in the field? Are the cautions now much
less relevant with modern hard-drive capacities and performance?

Can not add partitions to existing 3ware RAID?
Tonite I was going to allocate some more disk space to a 6.1 RELEASE system. I did it the same way I've done it for years: I went into sysinstall, selected Custom-Partition and added a new partition (twed0s3) using some of the remaining space. I then moved up to twed0s1 and did an S because sysinstall never remembers that the first slice was bootable and not doing this leaves one with an unbootable system. I then do a W to write out this information, say Yes to the warning since I am modifying an existing system and select the Standard Boot Manager. Instead of the normal response, I get ERROR: Unable to write data to disk twed0! and Disk partition write returned an error status! which is most disconcerting. No messages in the logs or on the (serial) console. Checking sysinstall again, the disk remains unchanged. Has something recently changed in this process? /\/\ \/\/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Daniel, Thanks for your email. I have already done this, but I was looking more From the perspective of other companies who have done similar, case studies type things. Would help me out a great deal with my presentation. Also another thing that I was thinking about since my original mail, things like chkconfig and commands like say 'service network restart'. Does such a thing like a redhat layer type project exist so that emgineers who must convert to freebsd have as much of the day to day commands available to them while retraining? Higher ups like knowing things will be as smooth as possible and most of the inhouse experience is with RHEL so I don't want to end up lumping a lot of extra work on the people with freebsd experience...

On the other hand, if your setup is simple (eg, PHP+Apache+MySQL, not clustered) then the migration is so simple, you wont even need a guide.

As a CDROM it had been working perfectly well since the initial install about a week and a half ago. It read CDs and DVDs without incident, and did so for hours and hours (which it was forced to do because I've been listening to music pretty much non-stop since I installed the system). The burner did not work, but after the grueling process of opening up the FreeBSD handbook and actually reading how to make it possible to burn CDs, that started working as well.

It seemed to me that I asked a perfectly valid question. I want to know what caused the unknown transfer phase on my CDROM and how to prevent it from happening again. I certainly didn't expect that would cause such anger that it would warrant a nasty response. As for whether FreeBSD suits my needs, it most certainly does. I've been an administrator of Unix-like systems for about 7 years, starting with Linux systems back in '97 and working my way up to IRIX a few years ago. I've had FreeBSD installed and working on home systems in the past, but it's been a while. Now, my work laptop had crashed (hard disk death), and I was tired having to struggle to get Windows to do what I wanted it to do and to keep it up and running more then a month at a time. Took 6 months to make Windows work the way I wanted it to, when it only took about a week to get FreeBSD working. In my experience, Unix-like systems have *always* been easier to develop on, have always been more stable, and are always faster. The fact that FreeBSD combines these properties with the ease of the ports collection plus what I thought was a community of involved people willing to help made it the obvious choice. If by suits your needs you meant your need to listen to music, I believe that's beside the point. The fact that acd0 had an unknown transfer phase is troubling regardless of the task it was performing at the time, especially considering that it was a kernel message. I will almost certainly need to be able to read from my CDROM drive at some point in the future for data transfer purposes, and a reboot during such a read would at best cause the data transfer to fail, and at worst it could corrupt data on the hard drive in an unrecoverable way. I also apologize that my subject line wasn't 100% accurate. It should have read CDROM Unknown transfer *phase reboots* system. The word error in the subject line was incorrect, and the assertion that it caused a crash was just an assumption on my part. I was unable to find a memory dump or any information that should have led me to believe it was definitely a crash (and I still can't). Also, it's an assumption on my part that the unknown transfer phase rebooted the system, but that was the last entry in the log file and I though (and still think) that it's the best indicator for what might have gone wrong. And the word reboot may be incorrect as well. The system didn't go through the shutdown process at all, it simply dropped to a POST. If your objection was to the length of the description in my original message, I though it would be prudent to provide as much detail as I could about the steps I had gone through with my CDRW/DVDROM drive so that those who might be interested in helping would have as much detail as I could provide. I apologize if what I was hoping to be a playful tone offended you, but since I tend to enjoy working on operating systems like FreeBSD I tend to write in a manner that expresses that feeling. I also apologize that part of my message, and my actual question, was at the bottom of the message after the dmesg output. That format was, I realize, not conducive

Re: mouse wheel problem

Eventually, starting moused with setting in rc.conf(below) and turning off Emulate3Buttons (had to put line in with the false. commenting out didn't work) and adding the Buttons line worked. The instructions out of the handbook didn't work this time. I found the same with my Logitech MX500 - I had to add Emulate3Buttons false whereas as best as I can remember it seemed that everything I was reading at the time was telling me I only needed to set it to true if I wanted to enable that option. Curious. At the time this configuration was done I was probably running 5.3 and X might still have been XFree86. The same config is working now with 5.4 and Xorg. xorg.conf sections-- Section InputDevice # Identifier and driver Identifier Mouse1 Driver mouse Option Protocolauto Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option Emulate3Buttons false Option Buttons 5 EndSection Section InputDevice Identifier Mouse0 Driver mouse Option Protocol auto Option Device /dev/sysmouse Option ZAxisMapping 8 9 # Had to put this in because default is true!?!?

I don't understand why it describes it as 7 buttons. There are the 'left' and 'right' buttons, two thumb buttons, two adjacent to the mouse-wheel, plus another button on top behind the wheel, so that's 7 buttons. But then there's the wheel button itself which is the third or middle button, so surely there are 8 buttons on this mouse, plus the Z dir of the wheel. Curious.

Re: Hardware vendors in Australia...

In particular, (dual ) Opteron based systems. Of course, it'd be great if anyone actually had suggestions on the specifics of the system that are known to work with 5.4 SMP. thanks in advance, Beto Beto, I can recommend Adrenalin Computers and Software but only because I know them personally, not because I've had them build any servers (yet). Unfortunately they're located in Adelaide but if you're stuck for a place to start I'd suggest it will still be worth your while to give them a call to start getting a feel for what kind of hardware is readily available, etc. And if you ask them I'm sure they'll tell you if they know of anyone in NSW if you'd prefer to deal with someone more local to you.
