I created the /usr/local/etc/devd/firewire.conf file with
notify 0 {
match "system" "IFNET";
match "subsystem" "(fwe0|fwip0)";
};
With this, FreeBSD do not start the network on fwe0 and fwip0
You won't see
Starting Network: fwe0
Starting Network: fwip0
But this drivers are loaded (fwe0 and fwip0), with ifconfig you can see the
configuration of them

FreeBSD 9.1 fails to boot from CD on Notebook
Hey, after failing to get FreeBSD working with my ASUS F70SL Notebook I tried to get it to work on [I][COLOR="Blue"]Toshiba Tecra A10-M14[/COLOR][/I]. I downloaded the [FILE]FreeBSD-9.1-REALEASE-disc1.iso[/FILE] from the official FreeBSD homepage and burnt it with [I][COLOR="Blue"]Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013[/COLOR][/I]. Now, if I select "Boot from CD-ROM" in my notebooks BIOS it detects the CD, starts to boot from, it but only for about 1 second. After this the screen blackens, the notebook reboots and boots normally from HDD (even tough I still have the CD inserted and the CD-ROM drive is still the first boot device). This happens that fast I don't even have a chance to get a picture of the error that might occur. Any ideas about BIOS settings I may change? I burnt the CD twice by the way, with different burning software, to avoid damaged or incomplete disc.

Procmail Decoding Mime Messages
Is there a filter that one can run in procmail in which base64 encoded data go in and text comes out so one can allow procmailrc to do its work? I use bogofilter to filter spam and it does a very good job after one builds a core of spammishness, but legitimate messages are often-times filled with base64 sections that look like garbage to the regular expressions that one puts in .procmailrc for sorting mail. When searching for information, I found something called mimencode which both encodes and decodes these attachments, but there is no FreeBSD port called mimencode so it occurred to me that some other application might exist which is in the ports that does basically the same thing. Is there anything which will take a raw email message and spit out linear strings which can be processed like normal text? Thank you.

Revisiting Traceroute Through ipfw FreeBSD9.x
I immediately found several plausible examples of what to put in
the firewall rules file and the following rules were set just
after the local loopback address:
ip="139.78.2.13"
setup_loopback
# Allow traceroute to function, but not to get in.
${fwcmd} add unreach port udp from any to ${ip} 33435-33524
# Allow some inbound icmps - echo reply, dest unreach, source quench,
# echo, ttl exceeded.
${fwcmd} add allow icmp from any to any icmptypes 0,3,4,8,11
My thanks to previous posters for these rules. I still,
however only get
*traceroute: sendto: Permission denied
traceroute: wrote 192.168.1.125 52 chars, ret=-1
I also did try:
sysctl net.inet.udp.blackhole=0
then 1 and even 2 with no change.
What else should I look at? The firewall rules are
otherwise working as they should.
Thank you.

Input subsystem comparable to linux planned
Hi, maybe you know the input subsystem of linux that is very flexible in terms of various input data interpretations. Are there plans to implement something comparable into the freebsd system? The background is, that I currently write a joystick driver supporting USB joysticks for FreeBSD. At the moment it supports the joystick api from linux which makes it easy to port i.e. plib to use it. I however would also like to support the input subsystem API which is some what more complicated. So - before writing some emulating code for the linuxulator I wanna ask if it is planned to put something equal into the freebsd kernel.

Setuid binaries and File Ownerships in FreeBSD9.0
The executable in question is a C program whos file permissions are 4755 and the file belongs to root so all files it opens are also owned by root and that works properly, but what I need is for this application to first open a few files owned by the caller and then later, upgrade back to root and write to files the caller can not write to. I was hoping to avoid using chown and chgrp and simply let the privilege level of the application dictate ownership of any file it opens. When the application first runs, it gets the UID and GID of the user and uses setuid(heruid); and setgid(hergid); to temporarily downgrade and those files are owned by the right user but setuid(0); doesn't appear to upgrade back to root. Is there any other strategy that gets one back to root short of using chown and then a system call and never downgrading privilege?

Re: Full disk encryption without root partition
Hi, >> Are there any plans or is there already support for full >> disk encryption without the need for a boot partition? Well - what would be your benefit? OK - you might not create another partition but I think this is not the problem. >From the point of security you would not get any improvement because some type of software has to be unencrypted. And this software could be manipulated to do things like e.g. send the encryption key to . So from this point of view there is no difference whether the kernel is unencrypted or any other type of software (that runs before the kernel) is unencrypted. There is a solution named secureboot together with TPM but this introduces some other aspects that are not so very welcome in the open source community. So from the security point of view it might be a good choice to have a unencrypted and (hardware) readonly boot partition.

Safe Way to Tell if Process is Running
About 20 years ago, I saw some code in which you verified whether or not a process was running by giving it a kill -0 command. If the process was running, nothing happened to it but your kill -0 command exited with a 0 status. If there was no process with that PID, the kill command exited non-zero. I use this in a system(command); in a C program I wrote some years ago and I think this is now causing a segmentation fault when the process number being signalled doesn't exist. Is there a better way to determine if process number 12345 is running without bothering it? None of the documentation on kill (1) shows a signal 0 nor does kill -l. Something tells me this is a bad idea these days, but I still need an easy way to see if XYZ process is still alive. Thank you.

mfs8.0 scripts have me baffled when adding Files.
I am making a mfs boot disk to send along with a server
we are dispatching to a remote campus.
I am using the scripts from Martin Matuska's
mfsbsd-1.0-beta3
suite of programs and they produce a great bootable CD but I
need /usr/local/etc/eject.allow present to let us remotely eject
the CD when we are through repairing the file system.
Basically, I have successfully added a bit of code to
the Makefile to add the file in question to the mfs root and I
see it on the finished image, but when we get the mfsbsd shell
going, the addition I made is nowhere to be found.
I am including the Makefile at the bottom but it appears
to be doing exactly what I told it to do so there is something
about the boot process that I am missing.
Thanks for any suggestions. Basically, all the parts work but
the whole is less than the sum.

Kernel asks only for the first GELI passphrase
Hello, I have two partitions encrypted with GELI: ada0s2 and ada0s3. The loader (located at an unencrypted part of the harddisk) loads the kernel and the kernel asks me for the passphrase for ada0s2 to attach it afterwards. However - my root file system is not at ada0s2.elia but on ada0s3.elia. Since the kernel did no attach ada0s3 (but the ada0s2 partition) it is also unable to mount the root filesystem which is somewhat bad. So - is there a way (i.e. a loader.conf entry) how I can tell the loader which partition I wanna have attached with a passphrase? I tried to look at the code from the loader but did not find the source file where the attaching is done.

I always start out that way for that very reason. I needed some
random number functions and arithmetic for another part of the

You are so correct! Thank you.

In this application, all the directories will be

That works perfectly. Again many thanks.

bash Shell Scripting Question
I just discovered a knowledge deficiency on my part that I can't seem to resolve. If one writes a loop of the following form: #!/usr/local/bin/bash ls -LF |grep \/ >/tmp/files while read dirname; do cd $dirname #Do whatever commands to be repeated in each directory. done < /tmp/files This works quite well but it is shall we say sloppy because it creates a file that then must be cleaned up and its name needs to be made unique, etc. The standard output of the `ls -LF |grep \/` command needs to look like a file and all should be well. I thought the < redirection would pickup the standard output. Thanks for ideas.

mhonarc 64-bit Package for mhonarc6.18 is stale.
mhonarc is a mime message archiver that is used with nmh and possibly other applications. I used pkg_add -r mhonarc to install it on a new system I was building and then discovered that attempts to reply to messages produced no quoted output and a spew of perl warnings about "defined" being deprecated. The messages tell you what line and in what application the offending directives live and one must then edit out the word defined from those lines. The current port of mhonarc, however, is fine so I first did make deinstall in the /usr/ports/www/mhonarc directory and then did make install from the port and things are now perking along nicely. If there is a better place to send this message, I will certainly be glad to send it. All somebody needs to do is create the mhonarc.tbz package from the most current port for both 32 and 64-bit systems. Who knows; I may be the only one in the world who is still using nmh, but it is useful when you want scripts to send mail, etc. Martin McCormick ___ 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"

Building a Headless FreeBSD Virtual System
I am using Oracle's VirtualBox package for the Mac. It is free and I am not sure that Dollars would get past the issue I have, here. VirtualBox uses Microsoft's remote desktop as the one and only output channel to allow remote access to the virtual system one is creating and this is really bad design for computer users who are blind and use screen readers. Pictures of text just don't work. If you had some very complex system with OCR, it might sort of work, but such systems don't exist as a drop-in for a good old ASCII terminal so that's not an option. So far, I downloaded the bootonly ISO image of FreeBSD9.0, mounted it and added the following loader.conf: boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" comconsole_speed="115200" console="comconsole,vidconsole" vesa_load="YES" Next, I used VirtualBoxmanage to define the disk and create the machine with a virtual IDE controller that is pointed to the ISO image for FreeBSD9.0 with the serial console. Has anybody been able to use VirtualBox and a fake serial console to get around the remote desktop non solution? I will probably have to add a virtual serial port in the machine definition one puts in the original machine build, but I am not sure this doesn't just go to that remote desktop channel where it gets scrubbed of any usefulness except for eyeballs on screens. This whole thing looks very promising but there's got to be a way around that shoe which doesn't fit in the form of that GUI remote desk top. In my case, the machine build goes without error but I can't tell yet if it is even booting. Mac's, by the way, have a relatively good screen reader built in but VirtualBox doesn't work with it, something that is a problem with a number of third-party programs especially when they were originally developed for Windows. This, of course, does not pertain to the main topic of this list, but I say it here so that you know I am aware you are supposed to be able to use the GUI on the Mac to manage your new virtual system. Essentially, the local GUI and the remote desktop don't work for me for the same reasons. My hope is to get FreeBSD running as a guest system on a powerful Mac and retire an old Dell server with noisy fans and several BTU of heat output which is in the realm of 15 years old and will probably retire itself at some random date in the future. Thank you for any good suggestions.

Clock lagging behind on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE under KVM
Hi, I am new to FreeBSD, decided to migrate a web server to FreeBSD. I recently both a VPS that claim to use KVM as a virtualization service, I don't know the details of the real hardware running behind nor what is KVM running on. Anyway I have an issue with clock on my FreeBSD installation that I can't live with. The clock is lagging behind, for example running sleep 30 is really sleeping around 35 seconds not 30. Also seems that NTP is not able to manage with this drift in time. Before posting here I red about similar problems mostly related to VMWare guests, but the solutions suggested are following: set kern.hz=100 or kern.hz=50 (doesn't work for me) set hint.apic.0.disabled=1 (this makes the guest hangs while booting also it discarding the SMP capabilities of the kernel which I assume is not a good idea) set kern.timecounter.hardware TSC (doesn't work for me) Is there any chance I deal with this time drifting issue somehow? If somebody faced such issue and managed it I would be happy to try another possible solution? Alternatively I can switch the provider with other that is using Xen for virtualization, I guess is better, but no guarantee that would not have the same issue. :( Cheers, Martin ___ 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"
ARM NAS Server for FreeBSD?
Hello, can anyone recommend me a ARM9/11 based platform that has support for freebsd to implement a nas server and router? Also other platforms could be interesting if they have a low power consumption. However - the performance should be somewhat better than the performance of the first atom cpus. I would like to add at least two sata drives and gbit ethernet. (And a DSL modem - preferable already on board) Best regards, Martin L. ___ 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"

You are absolutely right on all counts. I was speaking from the standpoint of the amount of work and or extra expense that one would need to go through to get the interface fully operational. Nobody has yet figured out how to build a Braille display that is affordable, let's say 100 US Dollars or less for even one line of Braille much less a whole page or better yet a graphical screen that could display shapes and possibly textures that are not Braille characters. Prices of 5000 Dollars are not uncommon and single-line displays sell for well over 1000 Dollars anywhere you go. What is needed is a way to accomplish a tactile matrix that doesn't require precision machining or hand assembly for each pixel. That's why today's displays are so incredibly expensive and delicate. There are lots of neat ideas such as stimulators you might ware on your fingers as you move your hand over a large area, but making a tightly-packed matrix at almost microscopic level is still a pains-taking task. By the way, math done by any method other than Braille is darn next to useless. Equations in Braille can be formatted very much like they are in print and there is a whole Braille system for reading and writing math. So, I am not disagreeing at all with what you wrote here, just clarifying why I made the statements I made. > While this has benefits in "unconcentrated reading" (e. g. > reading an article or literature", it can be problematic > with scientific or technical text where a (healthy) reader > would let his eyes "jump" within the text stream. The thing I hate the most these days is the lost art of the linear declarative sentence. If the output of a program is some full-screen form in which the information one wants is in check boxes, you have to listen to the whole !%#%00--- thing just to find out whether or not it worked. There are usually one or two things we really wanted to know and the rest is unchanged but must be endured to get the one or two grains of wheat in all that chaff. Since it's full-screen stuff, it is hard to pipe to a script so I guess the artists are happy and the rest of us are just tapping our feet impatiently waiting for the water torture to end. Fortunately, unix operations are still relatively free from the worst GUI parlor tricks, but I use safari on a Mac to access some Windows-centric web sites related to work and they make me want to straighten out a horse shoe without a forge I get so mad at listening to the minutes of audio with the results of what I did always at or near the last of the text and there seems to be no way to stanch the deluge without loosing the gold nuggets. In conclusion, FreeBSD has been another wonderful open-source platform as far as I can say. Many of the systems I run it on here do not have sound cards and are either on virtual boxes, in other buildings or towns and so a speech or Braille console directly on the system isn't possible so I have always used some other device to provide accessibility and never been disappointed. After all, it's unix which means one can expect certain behaviors regarding standard devices.

Re: Off-Topic: Computing for the Blind
There may be several people on this list who are blind, meaning no usable vision to see a screen. I definitely fit that description so I will gladly try to answer questions which breaks my usual practice here of asking beginner-level questions even though I have been using FreeBSD for almost ten years. The easiest and most economical interface for computer users who are blind is spoken speach. I am not talking about speech recognition where you speak to the computer and it does things, but speech synthesis where the computer runs an application to read what is on the screen back to the person using the system. One can learn to type and touch-typing was tought in schools for the blind for scores of years before computers ever even came on the scene. We pounded on typewriters and our poor suffering typing teachers were the feedback mechanisms that told us how we were doing. So, a person who is blind needs to know how to type. Almost every operating system has a screen reading program or several that one can install that reads the screen back to you. There is a good screen reader for the Macintosh which is included on every single Mac that runs OSX10.X. I like it and the Mac's do run a customized version of BSD unix. The screen reader for the Mac is called voiceover and you can activate it by Command-F5 and then Command-F5 again to turn it off. The only drawback to voiceover is that for those of us who do a lot of tinkering and compiling of source code on unix systems, the screen reader makes listening to the stream of consciousness almost useless because it resets itself each time new output is detected. There is also a lot of really neat things going on in Linux. We have Orca which is the GUI environment and some very good software speech synthesizers for both the GUI and the command line worlds. They tend to handle bursty output from compilers and log tailings better than voiceover but you find that both Mac and Linux screen readers shine in some things and don't do so well in others so there is no clear winner. Finally, there is the Windows world. Microsoft may be actually trying to improve their narrator application to where it is a serious screen reader, but up to now, there is one free screen reader that some people like to use plus several commercial applications that cost an arm and a leg and are always one upgrade away from being snuffed out and causing their owners much grief. None of these screen readers are perfect, but most computer users who are blind end up being reasonably happy with one of them. I personally like Linux and the Mac because there is no additional charge to install the screen readers and they generally won't let you down. There are also Braille displays which some people use but they are extremely costly. I mentioned the speech recognition systems. Many of those actually present problems for those who are blind because you need to train them on your speech and the feedback is graphical so a good old keyboard is still the best input device. So as not to get totally off topic, I haven't heard of any of the Linux screen readers being ported to FreeBSD. That could be a problem for some people and not an issue at all for others. Right now, I am typing on a Linux computer running a software speech engine and I am editing this message on a FreeBSD9.0 system via ssh and using vi on the actual message file. It works great. If that Raspberry Pie Linux system turns out to be able to support one of the Linux screen readers, we're talking about a talking terminal for less than 100 US Dollars. We'll just have to see what happens.

Remote System Builds
Is there yet any way to remotely rebuild a FreeBSD system? I have two FreeBSD systems on two remote campuses that presently run FreeBSD6.3. They need to be running FreeBSD9.0 and I don't really care how I get there as long as it can be done over the network. If we were physically there, I would put a CDROM in and blow them away since it is such a large jump. I can have staff members there install CDROM's that were remastered to use the serial console, but I am hoping that maybe we are moving past this sort of logistics. I just tried to unpack the 9.0 image using tar which has worked in the past to let one modify loader.conf but I got a bunch of errors this time about files that couldn't be created so maybe this is not the recommended headless installation technique any longer.

Re: Freebsd9.0 and the fgets directive in gcc
Never mind. I may be back with another question, but I figured
out that it is not the input loop. I simply removed all the code
in the loop except for a variable that counts the number of
iterations and just ran thatand it read the entire file so the
problem is introduced when assigning values to variables based
on the contents of the lines. It is something that worked okay
up to FreeBSD8.X but now causes a segmentation fault.

Freebsd9.0 and the fgets directive in gcc
I've got some code which I wrote about 6 or 8 years ago that
apparently doesn't get along right now with FreeBSD9.0. In the
problem code, there is a loop that uses fgets to read a line
from a file. It runs properly until the 2708TH iteration and
then it dumps core with a segmentation fault.
char string0[256];
more lines of code . . .
while ( fgets(string0,sizeof(string0),fp_config)) {
code to be run for each line
}
It runs fine until the 2,709TH iteration. Instead of
reading the next line, it jumps to the line that closes
fp_config even though it is far from read and exits with the
segmentation fault.
The man page on fgets says that if errors occur while
running fgets, one must use perr to see whether the error
terminated activity or it was the end of the file. In this case,
it is definitely the error.
Some observations:
The crash occurs on the 2,709TH input no matter how long I
declared string0 to be. string0 is over-written each new
iteration so nothing should be accumulating that uses up
resources.
Maybe I am declaring string0 in the wrong data type.
Originally, it had been 1024 characters long but 2709 seems to
be the C equivalent to the apocalypse and I thought it was
supposed to be next December:-)
This same code, by the way, also fails at about the same
number of iterations if one uses fgetc and builds the line one
char at a time.

Reading an unknown DAT Tape
This is a case of idle curiosity and not an urgent need to recover a valuable backup. I found an old DAT tape and attempted to read it on the very drive that probably once wrote it and it appears to read the tape properly in that I can use dd to copy it to a file and mt fsf 5, for example, takes the tape to the fifth file marker so there is sanity. Tar, however, does not recognize the format of the archive so it is either something proprietary or I am not using the correct utility on it. I opened it with dd files=2 if=/dev/sa0 of=testfile and then did the strings utility on testfile and got: TAPE SSET VOLB DIRB NACL Setting security iles SPAD DIRB NACL Setting security on system files... SPAD DIRB NACL SPAD DIRB NACL SPAD FILE NACL STAN Jun 23 2003 12:00AM Jan 1 1900 8:45AM Jan 1 1900 9:00AM Note that we are obviously able to read data from the tape as the top few lines are readible as words. The time stamps at the bottom are possibly not time stamps as some of them are not plausible. The dd command never faltered with errors although I did finally stop it manually. Is there any FreeBSD utility that can tell more about what created the original archive? Thank you.

Removal Attempt of Directory under ZFS causes Kernel Panic
We have a ZFS file system under FreeBSD9.0 running on a virtual machine which had been running flawlessly for a bit over a month when I discovered that I had copied our home directory into /usr/home such that we had /usr/home/home. As root, I cd'd to /usr/home and then typed rm -r home at which point the kernel panicked after removing most of this bogus home directory. It got to one particular user's subdirectory, worked normally for a bit and then that's when the kernel panicked. What we found were normal symlinks and files that, if you make any attempt to delete them or touch them, provoke the kernel panic and crash. If you mount the file system on a rescue disk, it crashes that. We've tried mounting on a debian rescue disk that supported zfs and it didn't crash, but hung. A coworker ran the debug version of our kernel and it complained about values being out of bounds for the several files in question. Basically, in the roughly 20 years of working with unix systems, I have never once seen anything like this. We don't think it has to do with the virtual machine because you can trigger the disaster only by trying to remove the specific files. everything else appears to be working normally including creating and deleting other files and directories. My gut feeling is that it is related to zfs. The bogus home directory was an attempt by me to rsync from the actual hardware system to the virtual system back in November and every file came out owned by root. I got the rsync working properly and forgot about this home/home directory until yesterday when I realized the mistake and tried to delete it. Does this sound familiar to anybody? This is the first zfs installation I have used and I am not real wild about trying it again if we can't solve this mystery. We can't seem to duplicate the problem. Any ideas are appreciated.

Sample getaddrinfo Code Compiles in Linux but not FreeBSD.
Here is a sample program kindly provided in the
Beej's Guide to Network Programming
Using Internet Sockets
Brian "Beej Jorgensen" Hall
The code is said to be in the public domain so it is
posted here as it compiles and runs perfectly under Linux but
fails in two places with the following errors: I named it nsl.c.
nsl.c: In function 'main':
nsl.c:38: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
nsl.c:42: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
You will see that in both places, the code was
performing the same operation of assigning a value to a pointer
so I am suspecting a prototyping issue but am not sure and hope
someone can help me cut through the forest a little more quickly.
He did provide suggestions for users of Sunos who have reported
errors, but for FreeBSD, the errors did not change. Here is the
sample code with the two error-generating lines marked.
#include

Rsync and Preservation of Ownership and Permissions
Rsync is a great utility, but is there a way to preserve ownership and permissions if rsync remotely logs in to a backup server as a normal user? The recovery process is run by root but copies all the files from the backup server as a normal user and uses its root capabilities to restore them. What happens now is that all the files end up owned by and in the group of the user ID that copied the information from the client to the server. That's obviously not too useful so I suspect there is a better way than trying to make a remote login to root from another system. Basically, cron starts a backup as root on system A. System A makes a remote ssh connection using the -e flag to backups@server. The system trying to recover the files starts a rsync process as root which remotely connects to backups@server to retrieve the files. In practice, the files come across but every last one of them is owned by and in the group of user backups. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thought the same, and gave it a try. zpool claims there is no pool of that name. "zpool -f" doesn't help. Looking at the device nodes, it appears as though OI would only recognize 3 of my 4 HDDs, which seems really strange, given the fact that they're all wired the same way. So I didn't even get to looking at the dir in question. That, combined with the fact that OI boot process provides too little information for my taste, and the additional fact that Backspace doesn't seem to work out of the box, has let me develop a dislike for the system upon initial use. I don't fancy having to configure such basic things. So I'm heading towards Linux now, as no solution to the FreeBSD ZFS problems seems to be forthcoming. Will probably be running some tandem of btrfs and Ext4 for now, until btrfs becomes more mature or space requirements force me to drop one of those file systems.

Makes me wonder whether I'd be better off with either some OpenSolaris descendant (hoping that the problem only lies in the FreeBSD port of ZFS) or with Linux (and either btrfs or some more mature fs). Unless I can find out what's happening here and how to avoid it from happening again in the future, that is. Short of paying for ECC RAM and fancy top-grade HDDs. I still doubt it's hardware failure, and even if it were I'd rather be able to fix any problems that occur than cling to the vain hope that I could ever completely avoid them by spending money.

zfs file names (inodes) without files (ENOENT)
Hi! A. SUMMARY Long story short: I have a file name on my zfs without a file to it. ls will include it in the dir content, but stat-ing that file will result in an ENOENT error: "No such file or directory". B. HISTORY So how did I come to this situation? I've recently had to kill the sending side of an rsync, with the receiving side on FreeBSD. For reasons yet unknown, the next run of rsync started deleting stuff it shouldn't. Details on this are in PR 162318 [1], but quoting the most important things: Logging into the receiving FreeBSD as root, I found that large parts of the user's home directory content had disappeared, even outside the subdirectory used as the rsync destination! - All the .* config files in the home directory were gone - The .ssh directory was still present, but its content was gone as well - Both the home dir and the .ssh subdir contained a file "rsync.%stat", which should be the name of an extattr instead, used to implement the rsync --fake-super command line option. [1] http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=162318 C. SYMPTOMS I first assumed a problem in the binary rsync build for FreeBSD, but devs on the above bug report favored RAM failure or an upstream source code bug. So I gave it another try, and payed closer attention to the error messages. Among them was the following: > rsync: stat "/home/name/backup/etc/ca-certificates" failed: No such file or > directory (2) Strange thing is, this isn't specific to rsync at all, it can be reproduced using simple command line tools like ls: > # ls /home/name/backup/etc/ | grep ca-cert > ca-certificates > ca-certificates.conf > ca-certificates.conf~ > # ls /home/name/backup/etc/ca-* > ls: /home/name/backup/etc/ca-certificates: No such file or directory > /home/name/backup/etc/ca-certificates.conf > /home/name/backup/etc/ca-certificates.conf~ So as you see, the name is returned by readdir(3), where both ls for the dir and the wildcard expansion find it. But anything that stat(2)s the file will encounter an ENOENT error. "zpool status" says everything's fine, so zfs isn't aware of any corruption. I believe that no matter what errors user space programs might make, the kernel zfs driver should never allow the above to happen. Either a file is there, or it isn't, there should be no such mixture. So what do you think, is this likely to be a bug in the zfs implementation? I found one other person describing problems like this: in threads titled "file lose inode in Memory-Based file system.", lisen1001 described pretty much the same thing, except on ramdisk on 8.2 instead of my own hdd-based raidz on 9.0-RC1 [2,3]. [2] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.questions/280183 [3] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.file-systems/13153 D. NEXT STEPS As I'm new to FreeBSD, I'm not yet sure how bug reports are handled around here. As I said, I've reported a bug report against rsync, and it has been closed on the grounds that this appears to be an upstream problem. Would it make sense to include the above information in the bug report for reference? Would replying to the gnats address be enough to accomplish that? Should the bug be reopened, as I assume all my problems to be related, and as the zfs corruption at least is specific to FreeBSD? If so, how does one reopen a report? Or who can do that? Do you agree that this looks like a problem in the ZFS implementation? Should I file a new problem report for that? Can you suggest any way I could resolve the corruption on my local ZFS pool, short of destroying and recreating the whole file system? "rm" for the file doesn't work, as it, too, encounters the ENOENT. Is there any tool to check or rebuild the inode data structures of zfs? "zpool scrub" doesn't seem to fit the bill, as its manpage indicates a computation of file content checksums. Greetings, Martin von Gagern signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Re: Two Networks on one System
Here is what the issue is right now. The remote campus in question has been on number space that was part of our Class B network. They got a block of subnets for their DNS's and campus enterprises and work stations. We secured them their own number space and they are migrating from their portion of our network to their new network and both nets are presented routable from the rest of the world. If you do a whois query for their domain, you get the address on our network of their primary DNS. When one updates the whois data, there is a lag of some hours until new queries start going to the new address of their primary DNS. In the mean time, we don't really care but we would like for the new interface for the primary to be reachable so that the minute the information changes, we're answering lookups. After that point, we will permanently take down the old interface address on our network and probably reboot with the normal configuration now being the new IP address. The problem I have, probably due to a misunderstanding of what I need to do, is easy to describe. The defaultrouter statement in rc.conf or route add default x.x.x.x from the command line sets an interface to know that packets whose destinations or sources that are outside the subnet go to that default gateway. When I set up the secondary interface, I have not been able to come up with a statement or statements that tell fxp1 that it's default router is y.y.y.y so you can't ever reach it from outside the new subnet. Once traffic ever gets in to the system, it will probably stay together based on the interface where it came from, but it won't have to do it for hopefully more than a few hours. I have tried both a second physical connection and an alias and have ended up with the same behavior each time. Since we have the second NIC active, I prefer to use it if I can ever get it to use its router just like the primary interface does. Right now, I can get on to our secondary DNS which is in the same subnet as the new address for the primary and log right in to the primary through the new interface. From anywhere else on the Earth, that new address is as dead as a doornail. I certainly appreciate every posting so far as routing is one of the thorniest issues one can encounter in networking so the more one is aware of, the less head-scratching and frustration there is.

Re: Two Networks on one System
I would like to say that I got it working, but after looking at the duel-homed host section of the Handbook, I am still stuck. A Google search turned up a thread from a couple of years ago that almost echoed my exact words. We've got a system with network interfaces on two disjointed networks. No routing is desired, but we very much want for both interfaces to be accessible from the world so each interface has to know about its nearest gateway just as the primary interface knows about the default route. What one seems to always be able to do is get the primary up and talking to the world with no real trouble. The secondary is on its network and you can log in from another host on the same subnet but you can never see it from the world, at large. Before the thread died out, the questioner was wondering if it was simply not possible to achieve this functionality. I am wondering the same. We are moving a primary name server from network A to network B on one of our branch campuses. If the secondary interface was reachable from the world, we can change the whois information and not worry about the exact second the change goes in to effect. The DNS should just answer whether the query came from network A or Network B. The routing is already handled so the system in question just has to be there and respond on both networks for a day or so. We don't have a spare box to run on the new network space or I would have done that days ago.;-( Again, thanks for any ideas. ___ 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"

I think I may have stumbled on to what I need to do discussed in the Handbook under the multi-homed host section. We won't be doing any routing between the two networks but I think I have been using the wrong form of the route command as there is an example of something very similar which I will try to see if the second NIC will finally find its router. I appreciate your answer as it clears up a few more questions I had.

Two Networks on one System
Following up on a question I wrote Friday June 17, a person from this list kindly referred me to the FreeBSD Handbook and the sections on configuring Ethernet interfaces. It has an excellent example as to how to set the default gateway from the command line. I tried it and it worked. Can a second interface such as fxp1 also be informed about the router on its network while we still keep the default route for fxp0? I hope to remotely ping both fxp0 and fxp1's ip addresses from off site and get an answer from both. So far, fxp0 is visible off of its network and fxp1 is only present on its subnet. It appears that you can only have one default route per system and I need this system to appear on both networks for a day or so while we move from one subnet to another. I presently have FW rules for fxp1 that should totally open everything: 00090 allow ip from any to 192.168.1.250 via fxp1 00091 allow ip from 192.168.1.250 to any via fxp1 Obviously, I am still missing something. Thanks for any explanation as I think this sort of thing is fairly common. ___ 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"
Second Network Almost but Not Quite Works.
The system in question has its primary NIC on one particular network and a default route to the gateway on that network and all of that works fine. I needed the system to communicate fully on two different networks so we enabled the second interface card and it works on that second subnet. You can connect to hosts there and hosts on that network see the new interface. The problem is that it doesn't know anything about the router on that second network. I don't want it to loose the default router but it needs to be fully connected from the second interface as it is a name server and it is about to move from one network to the other. I enabled the second interface as follows: ifconfig fxp1 inet 192.168.1.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 Is the route add command what I need to cause that interface to speak to the router and to hear packets addressed to it from that router? The routing issue seems to be the only connectivity problem that the second interface has.

Re: Modifying Sendmail's Configuration the Correct way.
Thanks to all. Somehow, I missed the make install. I will give it another try and it will probably work as it should.

Modifying Sendmail's Configuration the Correct way.
The /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file very clearly tells one not to edit it directly so I edited the /etc/mail/my.name.domain.mc file as stated in documentation to cause this system to send all out-bound mail through a "smart host." The .mc file part that adds the smart host looks like: dnl Dialup users should uncomment and define this appropriately dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `your.isp.mail.server') define(`SMART_HOST', `mailserver.okstate.edu') After that, I did a make in that directory and things seemed to go well. After restarting sendmail, it still wanted to resolve normally and not use the gateway. The only way we could get it to behave as desired was to do what one is not supposed to do and edit sendmail.cf and add the mailserver.okstate.edu name right against the line beginning with DS After another restart, everything worked. What am I failing to do as this is not the proper way to reconfigure sendmail? The DS line in the master file looks like DSmailserver.okstate.edu Many thanks and the handbook is very helpful but I haven't seemed to run across anything that directly addresses this situation. ___ 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"

In actuality, I was able to end up using simple SMPT mail to use our Exchange gateway. I just set that gateway as a smarthost which I thought I was already doing.

How to be an imap Client?
This FreeBSD system uses sendmail in normal smtp configuration. I use procmail and nmh to manage incoming messages and it all works great so I don't want to destroy all that. I do, however, need to use imap to send messages from this system through our Microsoft Exchange gateway because some systems use DNSBL and our entire network is on the blacklist so one must send from the gateway which, I guess, must be whitlisted. Is there any FreeBSD-compatible package that will act as a imap client so I can send messages, when needed, through the Exchange gateway and still preserve present smtp functionality? Many thanks. What a mess needing to send one message to one person is turning in to.

Stopping Less from creating Log Files
This is a minor problem but I use "more" to read Email messages from nmh. If one forgets what screen one is in, it is possible to start typing and create a log file of the message in which ever mailbox directory one is reading out of. The man page for more is actually linked to less even though FreeBSD has /usr/bin/more and less. I even tried in the .mh_profile to call more with -Oo/dev/null but if you hit a key, the "logfile" prompt appears and any subsequent key strokes are part of the new file name. This really is only a minor nuisance because it creates junk files that then have to be removed from the directory. So, if there is a way to make more or less not write anything, it would be more or less appreciated.

The bad thing about this is that I'm debugging probably unrelated problems with pxeboot and I have no way of knowing for sure whether my problems might be caused by more options clashes. It's not that tftpd-hpa log which options specifically were requested and denied. Or that FreeBSD's client says which options it requested before it blew up.

portmaster problems upgrading to php 5.3.4
Hi there, I'm having problems upgrading my php installation using the ports tree. I use the latest version of portmaster on FreeBSD 8.1-release inside a jail, with all patches. I'm trying to upgrade from php 5.3.3_2 to the new php 5.3.4 to fix a security vulnerability. Here is the problem. When upgrading my PHP, some of the dependencies fail because they are "already installed". If I manually remove those port-installed packages it continues to build past this point but then the script breaks again with a later dependency. So the error below is just one example of several I've encountered during the attempted upgrade of a port. In the past this was never an issue because portmaster is smart and would recursively install/reinstall all required packages for me automatically. Something has changed now because this functionality is no longer working for me. I issue the command: dev:/#portmaster -t -d php5 [...large amount of compilation data for php and various supporting packages removed...] ===> Installing for libltdl-2.2.10 ===> Generating temporary packing list ===> Checking if devel/libltdl already installed ===> libltdl-2.2.10 is already installed You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/libltdl without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER" in your environment or the "make install" command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/libltdl. ===>>> Installation of libltdl-2.2.10 (devel/libltdl) failed ===>>> Aborting update ===>>> Update for devel/libltdl failed ===>>> Aborting update ===>>> Update for php5-mcrypt-5.3.3_2 failed ===>>> Aborting update Terminated At this point I am half-way upgraded only. Here is what "pkg_version -v" shows now for php: dev:/#pkg_version -v php5-5.3.4 = up-to-date with port php5-ctype-5.3.4= up-to-date with port php5-curl-5.3.4 = up-to-date with port php5-dom-5.3.4 = up-to-date with port php5-extensions-1.4 = up-to-date with port php5-filter-5.3.4 = up-to-date with port php5-hash-5.3.4 = up-to-date with port php5-iconv-5.3.4= up-to-date with port php5-json-5.3.4 = up-to-date with port php5-mcrypt-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-mysql-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-openssl-5.3.3_2< needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-pdo-5.3.3_2< needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-pdo_sqlite-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-posix-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-session-5.3.3_2< needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-simplexml-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-sqlite-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-tokenizer-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-xml-5.3.3_2< needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-xmlreader-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-xmlwriter-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) php5-zlib-5.3.3_2 < needs updating (port has 5.3.4) Fortunately the security vulnerability appears to be gone now, at least: dev:/#portaudit -Fa auditfile.tbz 100% of 64 kB 64 kBps New database installed. 0 problem(s) in your installed packages found.

Re: portmaster problems upgrading to php 5.3.4
I should also mention that I have an almost-identical server running FreeBSD 7.3-release-p2 in backup production and did not experience these problems when upgrading from php 5.3.3_2 to php 5.3.4. Something in my 8.1-release development server is causing the problems with upgrading PHP, so I'm reluctant to upgrade my production servers as they are absolutely identical until I find a fix.
