Re: dhcp server returns core dump when i define network with mask 8
thanks Frank,
192 is just a sample. if i want to define 125.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0, dhcp
server core dump either. you're right, it is better to use just some
limited addresses to avoid possible troubles. but i want to run my dhcp
server for all possible networks.
now my question is: if i define a network with mask 8, the rang should be
like: 126.0.0.0 126.254.255.255?
and thank you jb but if i define my network like below, server runs
correctly:
log-facility local7;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
range 192.168.0.1 192.168.255.255;
}
i think 192.168.255.55 is reserved for broadcast too. is it not true? if
yes, why dhcp server works correctly?
please help me to clear my mind.
regards,
SAM

It's definitely bad idea to try to use it, but it doesn't explain the
core dump.
Also, using DHCP to dish out addresses that don't belong to you AND aren't
on a private network (as defined by IANA) will probably lead to trouble.
Valid private address ranges are:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (private class A)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (private class B x 16)
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (private class C x 256)
Which block you use is really a matter of taste - classes haven't been
used in routing for quite a while so you can consider them all as straight
blocks but I (for one) still treat them as classed just to help me
visualise what's what. For example, I'll use one class C per site to
prevent conflicts over VPN.
192.0.0.0/24 addresses are allocated to real hosts on the wider internet,
although IIRC some of the lower ones are reserved for use in documentation
(like example.com) - is that where the idea came from?!? :-)
Regards, Frank.

i have a question about dhcpd in freebsd8.2 . when i define my network like
below in dhcpd.conf file, server doesn't run correctly and return core
dump
this is my dhcpd.conf file:

thanks Eugene, you're right but i forgot to say that my client acts like a router. i mean none of interfaces should have ip address in same range (this is conflict for me). i can manage each interface to get ip address from DHCP or manually. so one interface may get ip address from dhcp server whereas all others have ip addresses which are set manually. for this situation, do you have any ideas to avoid ip conflict? thanks again for your attention SAM On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 3:06 PM, Eugene ge...@geniechka.ru wrote: Hi Sam, Actually I think this is wrong approach. Correctly configured networks should be consistent and should not need such 'fixes'. Also you should observe the IP provided by upstream DHCP server otherwise it is an invitation for trouble (both technical and possibly legal). Are the 'other' interfaces in your internal networks? Then you should change them to use different address block from that used in your provider's network (there are many address blocks for private networks).

That's correct and expected for the MBR partitioning approach (which is considered mostly outdated today). i checked FreeBSD handbook, but it doesn't say anything about defining more partitions.

The solution was found in man 4 geom in section DIAGNOSTICS: I had to set kern.geom.debugflags=0x10 to enable the foot shooting mode. Maybe this could help you too? For certain values of help. :) If geom won't let you write to part of a disk, it's because it thinks that part of the disk is already in use, usually by a mounted filesystem. Overwriting part of a filesystem is not guaranteed to lose data. But why take the chance? Better to boot from mfsBSD (http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/). Possibly better yet to use SUJ, which can be enabled with tunefs with the root partition mounted read-only in single user mode.

If that's what you're after, then the best approach is probably to pick one subdirectory of /usr (/usr/local would be an obvious choice) and restore everything *but* that to one of your disks, then mount the other disk on the subdirectory and restore the rest onto there.

backspace shows ^? in serial communication
hello all, i have problem with backspace in freebsd 8.2. when i run a serial program to communicate via a serial port to the other system, backspace shows ^? in opened terminal. i use termios and fcntl to open, read, write and close serial port. i set erase and erase2 for ttyu2(my serial port) but backspace shows ^? yet. any body knows what i'm doing wrong? just erase and erase2 should be set to backspace works correctly or any other options should be set? any hints or comments are really appreciated. nada ___ 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
HAST - detect failure and restore avoiding an outage?
I built a 2 node cluster for testing HAST out. Each node is an older HP server with 6 scsi disks. Each disk is configured as RAID 0 in the raid controller, I wanted a JBOD to be presented to FreeBSD 9.1 x86. I allocated a single disk for the OS, and the other 5 disks for HAST. node2# zpool status pool: scsi-san state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0 in 0h27m with 0 errors on Tue Feb 19 17:38:55 2013 config: NAMESTATE READ WRITE CKSUM scsi-sanONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1-0 ONLINE 0 0 0 hast/disk1 ONLINE 0 0 0 hast/disk2 ONLINE 0 0 0 hast/disk3 ONLINE 0 0 0 hast/disk4 ONLINE 0 0 0 hast/disk5 ONLINE 0 0 0 pool: zroot state: ONLINE scan: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM zrootONLINE 0 0 0 gpt/disk0 ONLINE 0 0 0 Yesterday I physically pulled disk2 (from node1) out to simulate a failure. ZFS didn't see anything wrong, expected. hastd did see the problem, expected. 'hastctl status' didn't show me anything unusual or indicate any problem that I could see on either node. I saw hastd reporting problems in the logs, otherwise everything looked fine. Is there a way to detect a failed disk from hastd besides the log? camcontrol showed the disk had failed and obviously I'll be monitoring using it as well. For recovery I installed a new disk in the same slot. To protect the data reliability the safest way I can think of to recover is to do the following: 1 - node1 - stop the apps 2 - node1 - export pool 3 - node1 - hastctl create disk2 4 - node1 - for D in 1 2 3 4 5; do hastctl role secondary;done 5 - node2 - for D in 1 2 3 4 5; do hastctl role primary;done 6 - node2 - import pool 7 - node2 - start the apps At step 5 the hastd will start to resynchronize node2:disk2 - node1:disk2. I've been trying to think of a way to re-establish the mirror without having to restart/move the pool _and_ not pose additional risk of data loss. To avoid an application outage I suppose the following would work: 1 - insert new disk in node1 2 - hastctl role init disk2 3 - hastctl create disk2 4 - hastctl role primary disk2 At that point ZFS would have seen a disk failure and then started resilvering the pool. No application outage, but now only 4 disks contain the data (assuming changing bits on the pool, not static content). Using the previous steps application outage, but a healthy pool is maintained always. Is there another scenario I'm thinking of where both data health and no application outage could be achieved?

thanks Robert,
i try it before but nothing happened.

hi all
i have a problem with backspace in serial communications. i have a
freebsd8.2 box with a serial card on it. when i connect to other freebsd
box via serial port backspace does not act as i expected. backspace shows
^? on screen. i searched alot and find out that stty has two parameters
-erase and erase2- to identify erase characters in terminal and they
should
be set correctly. i set erase and erase2 to ^? by stty erase \^? and
stty erase2 \^? commands but nothing happened.
please let me know how i can fix it. i know it is simple issue but i
really
do not know how to do that.
stty erase {press the backspace key}
Then hit the enter/return key

Re: backspace shows ^? in serial communications
thanks for your answer. you know, i have a freebsd box (something like router) which i connect to it by putty or other terminal programs (cu,...). this router has a serial card and i have a c program to open and manage serial ports. now when i run this c program and connect to the third freebsd box, backspace shows ^?. now i don't know where is problem and for which system terminal settings should be checked. from you explanation i think that i should check serial settings in c program in the router box. am i right? please let me know what should i do to this program (c program in router box) show backspace correctly when i connect by different serial programs to router box and run it. thanks On Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 10:20 AM, Polytropon free...@edvax.de wrote: On Wed, 6 Feb 2013 09:44:37 +0330, s m wrote: hi all i have a problem with backspace in serial communications. i have a freebsd8.2 box with a serial card on it. when i connect to other freebsd box via serial port backspace does not act as i expected. backspace shows ^? on screen. i searched alot and find out that stty has two parameters -erase and erase2- to identify erase characters in terminal and they should be set correctly. i set erase and erase2 to ^? by stty erase \^? and stty erase2 \^? commands but nothing happened. please let me know how i can fix it. i know it is simple issue but i really do not know how to do that. If I remember correctly, ^? is delete, ^H is backspace. You should check your terminal emulator if it outputs ^? instead of ^H when you press the backspace key. FreeBSD's default configuration handles keys correctly (if you have the proper terminal emulation set, e. g. vt100 or vt220 for your serial line), so there's probably something wrong with the settings of the terminal program you're using.

If you're able/willing to compile a new kernel to enable the VIMAGE feature, then this can be improved so that you can indeed use netstat within the jail. NOTE: netstat is not allowed within traditional (non-VIMAGE) jails due to security restrictions. My host os is Nas4Free and is stripped version of freebsd - e.g I cannot even compile ports - that is why I use jails - so no new kernel for me there :) So far I am quite happy with it - I use it mainly as DLNA server(Serviio), ZFS,UPS support Transmission made it quite good platform - would take plenty of time to get all this in plain FreeBSD install.

modem communication
hello guys, please forgive me if my question is not related to this list but i don't know where i should ask about it. i have a freebsd8.2 and wanna talk my modem by com port. when i connect my modem to com port, everything is ok. for some reasons, i have to communicate with modem, run a command, close the connection, connect again, run another command, close connection,... . in the other words, in each communication i have to run just one ati command and close connection. my question is: are there any ati commands in modems that should be run continuously (in the same communication)? i mean running one command, close connection, open it again and run another command would make any wrong? my program should work with all modems not a specific one. any hints or comments are really appreciated. sam ___ 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

Re: set connection to a modem
thanks guys for your replies, now i understand two types of connections are available by modem, dial-in and dial-out. honestly, i should do it for my boss and don't know what he should want exactly to do but i am sure that he has an external serial modem and wants to config it by AT commands via a freebsd system; therefore i think our connection is dial-out. now which files i should edit? just ppp.conf? and because our modem supports specific speed and flow control, is it necessary to set these parameters in my freebsd? and if yes, how i can do that? please help me to do that thanks On Wed, Nov 28, 2012 at 7:35 PM, Polytropon free...@edvax.de wrote: On Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:44:18 +0330, s m wrote: hello guys, i want to connect my freebsd system to modem and configure it via my freebsd.

There are many possibilities, each requiring a different thing to do on FreeBSD (because they are obviously different(. And of course: Are you talking about a real modem (external serial modem), some modem card (often dysfunctional WinModem), or a USB modem? Brand and model? i thought that i should change /etc/ttys file to set speed and other configuration. Wouldn't you better do this with ppp.conf? Just assuming you want to dial _out_. in order to check if i am right or not, i comment ttyu line in ttys file and expect the modem got disconnected but the modem still works and can access to it. The /etc/ttys file doesn't restrict you in controlling the modem from your host system. i googled and found that there are three files in /etc that we can edit them to configure our devices: /etc/ttys, /etc/gettytab and /etc/rc.d/serial.sh. moreover we can edit init file for each device in /dev to set default speed and other configuration by stty command. Also depends on _what_ you are going to do. now i am confused and don't know which file i should edit to set speed and flow control and other setting to have a connection to my modem. i mean from which file i can configure my connection? i know it's too easy but please clear it for me. Really, I assume you're talking about dialing out with a serial modem in order to connect to the Internet (or some other system), and then be networked with it. In that case you would add an entry to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. Allow me to provide an example that I've been using on FreeBSD 4 and 5: # PPP Configuration File # See /usr/share/examples/ppp/ for some examples # $FreeBSD: src/etc/ppp/ppp.conf,v 1.8 2001/06/21 15:42:26 brian Exp $ default: set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE) set device /dev/cuaa0 set speed 115200 set dial ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \\ AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 set timeout 180 enable dns papchap: # edit the next three lines and replace the items in caps with # the values which have been assigned by your ISP. set phone PHONE_NUM set authname USERNAME set authkey PASSWORD set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 add default HISADDR mymodem: set phone 01234567890 set authname myname set authkey mypass add default HISADDR The example name I've chosen here is mymodem. Change it to something meaningful. :-) The essential authorisation data here is the phone number of 01234567890, the username 'myname' and the password 'mypass' Note that today it may be required to change the device name! I haven't tried to do anything with a modem on current FreeBSD, so I can't be more specific, sorry. The device name /dev/cuaa0 will probably need a change. And then set speed 115200 sets the speed you need. If you've done everything properly, you would do something like # ppp mymodem ppp dial Then the modem should dial. With close you close the connection. There are options for /etc/rc.conf (the ppp_* variables) that allow you to automate things, like dial on demand. In contradiction, in /etc/ttys something like ttyd0 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 dialup on secure would enable you a serial console access (e. g. to connect a serial terminal to) at a speed of 9k6 (e. g. a DEC vt100). When connected via serial cable, you would receive a login prompt. Again, note that ttyd0 might not be valid here. -- Polytropon Magdeburg

how much older is exact percentage terms is jim?
That should be 22/8=2.75
Jim is 275% older than John
Jim is 175% _older_. Why? Because 100% older means 16 years,
as 100% refers to 8 years (8+8=16, 200% older is 8+8+8=24).
Percentage is always a reference to something else, in this
question, Jim's age in relation to John's. The word older
means adding percentage, refering to the base value of 8,
divided in 100 parts (floating point considerations aside),
to finally reach the value 22.
If the question would be different, say, What's the percentage
of John's age regarding Jim's age? In that case, it would be
8/22=0.3636 being 36%. Obvious: John's age is approximately
1/3 of Jim's age.
The easiest way for creating the proper calculation is to refer
to the equation
percentage * 100
percentage value =
base value
and resolve it to whatever is required.

Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0
Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
yo; I THInk this is it. around line 4542 in my ~/.HowTo file::
%%% find percent inc/dec [increase/decrease] between two numbers.
Always figure the percentage of change relative to the original value!
For instance: * Suppose a certain item used to sell for seventy-five
cents a pound, you see that it's been marked up to eighty-one cents a
pound. What is the percent increase?
First, I have to find the absolute
increase:
Reserved 81 - 75 = 6
The price has gone up six cents. Now I can find the
percentage increase over the original price.
This percentage increase is the relative change: 6/75 = 0.08
...or an 8% increase in price per pound.
So I was wrong about ages or speed; it's the % betwen two ints;
here, the inc/dec [or change] between 75 cents as compared to
an inflated increase of 81 cents.
1. find abs increase: 81-75 = 6;
2 find the % increase over the *original* value. 6.0/75.0
3. percent increase using doubles is 0.08; so a markup of six
cents is an 8% rate.
so: going back to the ages example with john bein 8, jim, 22.
22-8 is 14.
14.0/8.0 = 1.75
175%. jim is 175% times older than john. which is what you found,
polyt. {I'll have to re-read your logic now that im awake..}
Or, how much more, in % is 16t than 15, it is 1.0/15.0 which is 6%.
etc, etc.
Hm. that's 0 for gary, 729 for polytrop!!

(pciconf -lv for verbose listing). Two important notes about pciconf -l… 1. It lists more than just cards 2. The type can't always be determined by FreeBSD When looking at the output of pciconf -l, each line represents a component (this can be an integrated component on the mother- board, such as USB port, not necessarily a PCI add-in card). If the line begins with none@ then a driver has not attached to this device (and FreeBSD therefore doesn't know what type it is). In this case, you'll want to look at the chip= portion of the line. The chip= portion of the line gives you two very important pieces of information when it comes to identifying your hardware: a. The 4-digit hexadecimal identifier for the Model of the device b. The 4-digit hexadecimal identifier for the Vendor of the device (in that order from left-to-right) Let's look at a sample line: vgapci0@pci0:2:9:0: class=0x03 card=0x00081002 chip=0x47521002 rev=0x27 hdr=0x00 NOTE: That's my graphics card on an ASUSTek P4B533 motherboard In the above line, see chip=0x47521002. In this case, 4752 is the Model identifier and 1002 is the Vendor identifier. If you're a human and you want to know what these numbers are, you hop on over to pcidatabase.com and punch in the numbers to find out that this is a [particularly ancient] ATI Rage XL graphics card. If you're not a human (i.e., a script), you'll instead reference a local copy of the pci.ids (/usr/local/share/pciids/pci.ids for example): $ grep '1002 4752' /usr/local/share/pciids/pci.ids 1002 4752 Proliant Rage XL the number of ports that each card has That one is near impossible. Since every add-in card is going function differently, you really need a device-specific enumeration method to (for example) count things like PHYs provided by a single NIC. Imagine if you will, the case of the card for which there is no driver loaded in the kernel (where pciconf -l shows a none@ prefix). There really is no way to enumerate the number of ports a card offers in that circumstance. However! You can build logic into your code (if you are scripting something) that takes the description from the pci.ids file (or just the raw hex IDs) and extrapolates based on prior-knowledge how many ports a particular device has. and the slot number which cards are installed. That's provided by pciconf. Also, it's worth mentioning the excellent dmidecode tool from the ports tree. This too can enumerate the slots themselves (and tell you whether they are PCI, PCI-X, PCIe, etc. including voltage. Search for System Slot Information in the dmidecode output for this info. -- Devin This is interesting. I'm glad this question was raised, because i've noticed i've got two none@ lines listed when using pciconf -lv. I've been trying to figure out what these are over the last week but to no avail.

Re: how restore an unencrypted dump on an encrypted file system?
thanks saeedeh OK i try to explain what i have done more in detail. i want to restore unencrypted dump files on an encrypted file system. in order to do that, i encrypted my file system by geli command and sure that is done correctly because when i install base and kernel on it, freebsd start up successfully. problem is here: when i restore my dump files and restart my freebsd, boot PXE menu is shown and i select my freebsd but after that, the error message invalid format occurs and i see this message: FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader boot: it selects the default kernel correctly and after some seconds an error message is shown which consists of some hardware addresses. i don't know how to fix it. any hints that might fix my problem are appreciated.

If so, would you be willing to share any comments, opinions, or advice with me concerning your experience with this software? Many thanks in advance. Yours truly, Lee Shackelford Hi Lee, you could ask this same question on a Linux (or better, Ubuntu) forum/mailing list, surely you'll receive more answers, then you can see if the CAD apps used by them will run on FreeBSD (I'm quite sure them will work).

However in the 3rd edition, explains how to add users on FreeBSD and how FreeBSD's master.passwd file, login.conf. work,etc The third edition's chapter called Drivers and the kernel shows how to build a freebsd kernel, create a BSD config file, tuning the freebsd kernel, add freebsd device drivers,etc. I was not able to find those entries in the the 4th editions Drivers and the kernel. chapter.the 3rd editions TCP/IP chapter shows network config for freebsd. However in the table of contents of the 4th edition does not. I'm searching for a website that contains the 3rd edition table of contents so one can compare between the two editions for better judgement. unfortunate, those were a few examples i have time to point out. I think may make a great difference. I apologized, if my email came out looking strange with chopped up/ uneven sentences,etc. I have to check into that:-( ___ 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

Now that I'm free and have more time I went over the 3rd edition table of contents and found a few instances that mentions FreeBSD. In chapter Adding a Disk describes the FFS, shows a freebsd fstab example file and teaches how to add a disk in FreeBSD,etc. I Continued glancing at the contents and it appears the rest of the book is pretty much on subjects that apply to all UNIX OS. the fourth edition text has for some reason basically traded FreeBSD for AIX -- which makes little sense to me. I found a site that it kinda shows that this is was happened, AIX replaced FreeBSD:-( mid way through the site shows the 4th edition only focuses on redhat, opensuse, rhel, solaris, HPUX and IBM AIX. http://www.admin.com/ I ___ 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
