In the jail(8) main page, there's the following tidbit:

| retrieved via ``sysctl -d security.jail.param''. Any parameters not
| set will be given default values, often based on the current
| environment.

The sysctls do not themselves have values. Their useful parts are the
associated types and descriptions (as well as their very existence). The
descriptions are good for the above-mentioned sysctl -d, and the types
are used by jail(8) to know how to set a particular parameter.


Rereading the man jail for 9.1 talks about securelevel as a jail
parammeter. So correct me if I an wrong. All the
security.jail.param.* MIBs are set in rc.conf or /etc/jail.conf file
on a per jail bases by changing the word parm to the jailname?


There's not always a direct connection between the jail parameters and
the current rc.conf values. The jail parameters are what you'd use in a
jail.conf(5) file, or in the jail_jailname_parameters rc variable.

- Jamie



Yes I read man jail and issued the sysctl -d to get the list of MIBs I 
posted. So I am still left with no explanation of HOW to code these new 
jail MIBs in 9.X to enable them on a per jail bases.


Any thoughts on how to do that?

Well the jail(8) man page is all about setting these parameters. You
might also want to take a look at jail.conf(5) which I mentioned. But
don't think of them as MIBs anymore - the -d is the only thing you'll
have to do directly with the sysctls.

In the jail(8) main page, there's the following tidbit:

The sysctls do not themselves have values. Their useful parts are the
associated types and descriptions (as well as their very existence). The
descriptions are good for the above-mentioned sysctl -d, and the types
are used by jail(8) to know how to set a particular parameter.

There's not always a direct connection between the jail parameters and
the current rc.conf values. The jail parameters are what you'd use in a
jail.conf(5) file, or in the jail_jailname_parameters rc variable.

A couple of new sysctl variables - maybe?

2011-10-05 Thread Jukka A. Ukkonen

Greetings all,

Having been working with various other UNIX variants as well it
just occurred to me that in FreeBSD we do not have any simple
method for retrieving either the hardware word length (memory bus
width) or the kernel's basic word length.
Usually these two are of course the same thing, but it is more
a best practice convention than an absolute necessity.

Anyhow on other systems like SunOS/Solaris there is isainfo -b
and on Linux there is getconf LONG_BIT or something to check
how many bits there are in the system's default word.
Something similar would be nice in FreeBSD as well, though, I think
the natural place for retrieving such a value would most likely be
using sysctl. Maybe it would be OK to add two new entries to the
sysctl tree: hw.wordbits and kern.wordbits, or something similar
to the basic sysctl variables. The value should be just one constant
number, usually 32 or 64 (= sizeof(long) * 8).

This sort of addition to the kernel would make it a lot easier to
create scripts which just do the right thing when run in anohter
environment

Just my 0,02 EUR worth...

Cheers,

The best way to determine this is to read the source. I did that some time ago
to fix the temperature display in sysutils/conky. 

The sysctl dev.cpu.0.temperature returns an integer, see
/sys/dev/coretemp/coretemp.c (look for the string temperature), and you'll 
see:

/*
 * Add the temperature MIB to dev.cpu.N.
 */
sc-sc_oid = SYSCTL_ADD_PROC(device_get_sysctl_ctx(pdev),
SYSCTL_CHILDREN(device_get_sysctl_tree(pdev)),
OID_AUTO, temperature,
CTLTYPE_INT | CTLFLAG_RD,
dev, 0, coretemp_get_temp_sysctl, IK,
Current temperature);

If you look at the definition of coretemp_get_temp_sysctl in the same file:

coretemp_get_temp_sysctl(SYSCTL_HANDLER_ARGS)
{
device_t dev = (device_t) arg1;
int temp;

temp = coretemp_get_temp(dev) * 10 + TZ_ZEROC;

return (sysctl_handle_int(oidp, temp, 0, req));
}

So the returned value is an 'int'. Note that TZ_ZEROC is #defined as 2732 at
the beginning of the file. The returned value is therefore the temperature
in Kelvin times ten.

On my machine, it gives e.g.:

sysctl dev.cpu.0.temperature
dev.cpu.0.temperature: 46.0C

If we check the 'raw' return value;

sysctl -b dev.cpu.0.temperature|hd
  78 0c 00 00   |x...|
0004

Running this value with the abovementioned algorithm in reverse through a
calculator, we get

   (0x0c78-2732)/10 = 46°C

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot!

I had a look into the src and I saw the format IK used to register the 
sysctl node but I was also surprised that IK was not defined in man 
sysctl(9)


But I finally understood that K should means Kelvin :)

trying to sysctl(3) a char value

2010-11-24 Thread David DEMELIER
Hello,

Since I cannot adjust the brightness on my HP Probook because it sucks
I'm writing a small script that can be use instead. I need to sysctl
the following sysctl variables :

hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness
hw.acpi.video.lcd0.levels

the -brightness one is easy since it's an integer, but the levels is
possibly a char :

mark...@melon ~ $ sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness
hw.acpi.video.lcd0.brightness: 90
mark...@melon ~ $ sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.levels
hw.acpi.video.lcd0.levels: 100 50 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 33 36 40 43 46 50
55 60 65 70 75 80 83 86 90 93 96 100

How can I store the content of hw.acpi.video.lcd0.levels? This small
code doesn't work :

#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include sys/types.h
#include sys/sysctl.h

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char buf[128];
size_t len;

len = sizeof (buf);

if (sysctlbyname(hw.acpi.video.lcd0.levels, buf, len, NULL, 0) == 
-1) {
perror(sysctl);
return -1;
}

printf(levels = %s\n, buf);
}

mark...@melon ~ $ ./a.out
levels = d

Kind regards,

what is the output of 'uname -a'? looks like a 32 bit integer is being used
for net.isr.swi_count which you managed to overrun.

i'm running HEAD and that sysctl parameter doesn't exist:

system slow after tuning cpu speed with sysctl

2010-01-19 Thread Anh Ky Huynh
Hi all,

I used to change my CPU speed via sysctl:
sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq=1650
I did that because that helped me to decrease the CPU temperature, and such 
speed was enough. This way went well and I did that after logging into the 
system via ssh. (I have some troubles with `powerd` so I have to use `sysctl` 
manually.)

Yesterday, because `sysctl` often required root permission, I wrote a small 
script that could help to to change cpu speed via ssh
./my_script.sh 1650
= ssh t...@localhost sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq=1650
(my password goes here)

Then I suddenly found that the system was very very slow after the above call, 
though I ran nothing (except for bash, top). Being afraid that something went 
wrong, I just moved to the maximum speed:
ssh t...@localhost sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq=2200

but this couldn't help. (Using `dmesg`  I saw a line Device wasn't configured)

Now I can't change my cpu speed anymore: If I switch from 2200 to 1925 (the 
next lower value), the system would be slowed down and I can't do anything 
(because it is very very slow). The only way is to reboot. And here is another 
strange thing: after the FreeBSD sends the last message of its reboot process, 
the system halts with black-blank screen; then I have to unplug the power 
supply (an external adapter), unplug the battery, wait for some seconds, plug 
the battery / power supply before turning the system on.

I am using FreeBSD 8.0 (RELEASE) on a laptop with a custom kernel

At a guess, I'd say you need to set

and try again...

sysctl is an interface to the kernel, it doesn't know anything about
third-party, high-level applications.

The behaviour you describe sounds more like a bug than a feature, but
if there is a way to turn it off it will be in the gnome or application
configuration.

IPFW, KERNEL, sysctl: has no effect changing DUMMYNET.io_fast

2009-04-15 Thread KES
Hi, Freebsd-questions.

This change
sysctl net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_fast=1
has no effect for packet flow, bug man says:
Fast mode allows certain packets to bypass dummynet scheduler if packet flow 
does not exceed pipe's bandwidth

flow does not exceed pipe limit, but packet flow latency is affected


ipfw pipe 1 config bw 64kbit/s
ipfw add 1 pipe 1 all from any to any

No any trafic except ping:
ping some.lan.machine

with rules above ping is about 8ms, without them 1ms

Does I understand corrent Fast mode
when I ping I do flow less than 64Kbit/s so packet must bypass
scheduler and must have latency 1ms?

Re: sysctl machdep.independent_wallclock

2009-01-15 Thread Mister Olli
hi...


 what is the exact function of this sysctl setting?
 
 I'm guessing it's something to do with Xen, having seen a few
 references in Linux for xen.machdep.independent_wallclock. 
 
 Have a look here:
 http://docs.xensource.com/XenServer/4.0.1/guest/ch04s06.html

yeah, I know that sysctl from linux, but I wasn't quite sure if it is
the same in FreeBSD, since it's known as 'xen.independent_wallclock' in
linux and 'machdep.independent_wallclock' in FreeBSD.

I started reading the C-code of FreeBSD, and from my understanding the
function 'should' be the same, as it's really linked to the clock
handling with XEN in FreeBSD.

but from my understanding it's not completly implemented in 8-CURRENT
(as of 15 jan 2009; see the last lines):

/*
 * Write system time back to RTC.  
 */
static void
domu_resettodr(void)
{
unsigned long tm;
int s;

 hi...

 what is the exact function of this sysctl setting?

I'm guessing it's something to do with Xen, having seen a few references in
Linux for xen.machdep.independent_wallclock.

Have a look here:

If you were viewing this as root on the console then you were simply
seeing kernel output interleaved with the output from sysctl.

You are looking at the kernel message buffer with 'sysctl -a'.  
(kern.msgbuf).


Nothing wrong with that.

The kernel message buffer is exported via a sysctl (kern.msgbuf) and as you 
asked to see all sysctl - this one is included, too.  This is not a message

kern.msgbuf dumps so called 'message buf' containing messages printed by
the kernel (for example by a NIC driver). It's accessible also via
/dev/klog and syslogd uses it as a source for /var/log/messages.

For example, i extract i386 installation, but my hardware is EM64T  and 
supporting AMD64 distribution correctly. Both variable get i386 value. One of

sysctl kern.msgbuf changed in 7.0?

On my FreeBSD 6 box, sysctl kern.msgbuf shows the same content as dmesg

But on FreeBSD 7, kern.msgbuf is empty.

Has something changed?

On FreeBSD 7, net.fibs is a valid oid. Can you determine when
(in the booting process) this message is shown? Maybe you have
a setting of net.fibs in /etc/sysctl.conf, or maybe this is a
value set by some software package?

That's the only occurance I found. FIBS seems to have something
to do with multiple routing tables, a feature that needs to be
enabled via a kernel option; I'm not sure if this has been present
in FreeBSD 6 already.


 [...] nor is there
 anything in the 'sysctl.conf' file.

So the setting isn't requested via /etc/rc.d/sysctl at startup
(which reads from /etc/sysctl.conf), but from another service.
If it was,

# /etc/rc.d/sysctl restart

would lead to the same error message


 The message is displayed just

As RW mentioned, Do you have apache?, is there something like

Starting additional deamons: apache
sysctl: unknown oid 'net.fibs'


 How can I determine what program is causing this to occur?

What's near the error message? Usually the startup notification
prior to this message should identify the program that causes this
message.

Re: sysctl enabled but HAL non-existant (Reid Linnemann)

2008-07-01 Thread Desmond Chapman

I've installed HAL and the same message comes up with the gnome desktop- and 
this happens in the install of NetBSD that I also have- the HAL problem of not 
being enabled or installed.
I may be wrong in assuming this; but, isn't there some basic compatibility 
between bsd systems that what would work for freebsd and mounting would also 
work for netbsd?
chmod 0777 /dev/acd0 and chmod 0777 /dev/cd0a allows me to see the icons in 
konqueror and nautilus.
sysctrl v allows me some access but full access is only as root.
I did a search for a command line that would help me set up HAL for both 
desktops.

I am not running 7.0, so I am just guessing, but I am assuming you
changed that option in /etc/sysctl.conf (or possibly copied your /etc
directory from an older machine to the 7.0 machine). That would be the
why you are getting that message during boot. The reason the message
is appearing at all is most likely because that is not a current
sysctl variable/option. I would check the sysctl manuals for that.

More likely it is just differences in the ACPI support in the BIOS.
I see the same message on one of my machines running 6-STABLE.
On another machine also running 6-STABLE it instead says:
  hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C1 - C1
Neither system has that option referenced in /etc/sysctl.conf

Everything seems to work fine so I don't worry about it.

sysctl invalid argument

2007-04-11 Thread Beni
Hi list,

When reading through my dmesg, I found this sysctl error/message : sysctl : 
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest : Invalid argument. Now there is no mention what so 
ever of that option in my /etc/sysctl.conf, so I didn't set it to C1 or 
anything else that seems to be invalid. So my question is : why (and where) 
is it set 2 times and why is it the second time with an invalid argument ? 
Neither the C1 nor the invalid argument seems to be doing any harm to the 
(good) workings of the system...

very odd log entries (sysctl)

2006-12-02 Thread Charles Sprickman

Hi all,

Had a machine lock up recently.  When I got into it, I found that 
/var/log/messages and the dmesg buffer were filled with stuff like this:


Dec  1 18:17:14 h19 /kernel: 8 sendspace RW *Handler Int
Dec  1 18:17:14 h19 /kernel: 9 recvspace RW *Handler Int

Dec  1 18:17:15 h19 /kernel: 102 overflows R  *Handler Int

Those seem to correspond to sysctl variables.

Any idea why the kernel would start spitting out sysctl mibs to the log?

Thanks,

Sockstat first gets a list of all open sockets, then looks up the
command name for each one.  If the process has exited before the name
is looked up, you get the warning, and sockstat prints ?? as the
process name.  You can quiet it by redirecting stderr to /dev/null:
sockstat 2/dev/null

No. You can do this using the firewall of your choice
ipfw example
ipfw add deny icmp from any to any
ipfw add allow ip from any to any

(not much intelligence in these rules, but this is
what you asked for)

keep in my mind that ipfw blocks everything by default
(**you will be locked out of the box**)
so do this locally or follow the instructions in the manual
on how to load the ipfw kernel module.

There are some things you can do with sysctls and ICMP:

Yes it is just FreeBSD behaving cleverly and limiting the number
of ICMP replies. These two sysctls are of interest:
net.inet.icmp.icmplim: Maximum number of ICMP responses per second
net.inet.icmp.icmplim_output: Enable rate limiting of ICMP responses

Somebody is probably flood pinging your server. You can do
several things.
1) block particular (addresses|proto) from your upstream router.
 This way bad traffic will not reach your box.
2) block particular (addresses|proto) from your box. This
 way the attacker will not know if your box is up and running.
 Not much gain, since traffic will load your box anyway.

Limit the number of ICMP replies to 5 or 10 per second. Won't
help at all with your situation, but it is a good value for normal
use.

:-)  I was going to express the same idea a bit more politely...

Try running tcpdump -nt icmp and paying attention to what is going on; 
blocking all ICMP traffic on an internet router will completely break PMTU 
discovery and cause hatred and discontent for normal TCP/IP operations, too.

is there a sysctl monitor tool ?

I have 2 server . I use FreeBSD6.1 and Freebsd6.0 on them.
1 - Is there any program or command about how much the server use the 
parameters sysctl values and whether the server exceed the sysctl limits or not 
? 
can you say a command or tool except  top, ps, netstat -m  ?

2 - While I am looking at system performance with systat command, I sometimes 
see values in usage of disk over %100 as below,
Disks amrd0 pass0  54 ofodintrn  2002 cpu1: time

What cause does this condition ?

I'm seeing a lot of messages like this in my Message log. 
adjkerntz[]: sysctl(get_offset): No such file or directory

I don't think that this is a porblem as I'm not seeing any ill effects, but 
I'd like to know what this means and why it's happening. Google hasn't 
produced anything meaningful in this area. Just wondering if anyone out there 
knows.

I'm using net-snmpd with FreeBSD 6.0 and all is working fine but when I start 
it up it gives me the following error:

sysctl: physmem: Cannot allocate memory

snmpd seems to be running fine but why is that error showing when it's

I looked at the sysctl and it's showing the proper amount of memory in the

sysctl kern.cp_time: calculating output

Hi all,

I have a question regarding the output from sysctl kern.cp_time.

I know that the output is in the form of:

  user nice sys interrupt idle

and that the numbers are incremental, but what I don't know is what
these numbers and increments mean.

If someone could explain this, it is greatly appreciated.

sysctl documentation

where can i find documentation for sysctl variables, mostly vfs.* ?
or it it's nonexistant, where can i look for info?

While FreeBSD gives best performance in every case i tested (compared to 
other BSD's and linux) it doesn't mean it can't be faster after some

SV: sysctl documentation

According to the manual page of sysctl - the best place to find the
documentation is the source. But chapter 11 (sounds funny ;) ) in the
handbook might also help you (the tuning sections).

sysctl -d will help in many cases, otherwise check the manpage for the 
associated driver, netgraph module, etc.  Or UTSL.  :-)

Re: sysctl or system tweak for symbolic links?

2005-09-10 Thread Julien Gabel
 Using FreeBSD_6.0_Beta4 (applies to Beta2, also).

Not related to FreeBSD versions, i think.

 I'm trying to track down a problem I've been having with apache-2.0.54
 not following symbolic links.

 It's basically come down to my being able to follow the link if it's in
 the same directory structure (ie: .. or /path/to/..), but fails if the
 symbolic link is located elsewhere (ie: /usr/local/path/directory) or on
 another disk.

It is the `normal' behaviour for Apache, AFAIK.

 I wonder if there's a sysctl or other system variable that handles the
 behavior of or access to symbolic links in this fashion that I may have
 missed.   Seemed like a reasonable conclusion after these tests have
 been failing, though it could be something else, too.

Don't know if it is possible (and advisable) to succeed in following an
external link this way.  More help/answers may be obtain from the Apache
people, since it seems more an httpd configuration trick, than a FreeBSD
one.

Stock apache configuration. Look at the documentation for the Options 
directive, particularly SymLinksIfOwnerMatch.

Re: sysctl or system tweak for symbolic links?

2005-09-10 Thread Forrest Aldrich

The problem was fairly hidden.

It turns out that one of the directories in the PATH of the symbolic 
link did not have the search bits enabled (permissions).  Once that was 
adjusted, it worked fine.


This turns out to be a problem with Apache-2, since it should report a 
better (unambiguous) error - there is a bug report filed about it.



Thanks.

It's probably read only.  Try setting it in /boot/loader.conf

sysctl options loader.conf or sysctl.conf

2005-08-03 Thread dick hoogendijk
I'm a bit confused about whcih options needs to be set where.

I know i.e. that hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 needs to be set
in /boot/loader.conf while others are set in /etc/sysctl.conf. I need
to know where I can find info on the rules about this. Now I'm
dependant on what I happen to read somewhere.

I read something about vfs.read_max=16 - where do I set this I
wonder? Is there info about this somewhere?

Re: sysctl options loader.conf or sysctl.conf

You're not alone.

 I know i.e. that hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 needs to be set
 in /boot/loader.conf while others are set in /etc/sysctl.conf. I need
 to know where I can find info on the rules about this. Now I'm
 dependant on what I happen to read somewhere.

Well, sysctl(8) refers to loader.conf(5), sysctl.conf(5), loader(8),
which refer to /boot/defaults/loader.conf  /etc/sysctl.conf and
don't forget the handboot and FAQ.

 I read something about vfs.read_max=16 - where do I set this I
 wonder? 

Since sysctl.conf is read in only when going multi-user and that
sounds like something you'd want always, I'd put it in loader.conf.

 Is there info about this somewhere?

Google?  If you think it's needed, please write a PR (probably on
/boot/default/loader.conf).

This changes over time.  A lot of options once needed to be set in  
the loader.conf before the kernel started up, but the system is  
getting more flexible and some of those can be changed at runtime  
now

Look at /boot/defaults/loader.conf, that ought to give you a good  
idea of what needs to be (or can be) set via that.  Otherwise, try  
using sysctl to change things, and if they are marked read-only, then  
they needed to be changed earlier or by rebuilding the kernel with a  
different config.

Not so. I tried /boot/loader.conf but vfs.read_max still was default
after the booting process. Putting it in /etc/sysctl.conf worked.
Confusing..

RE: sysctl deadmantimer

2005-07-27 Thread Norbert Koch
   In the BSD/OS there is a kernel countdown counter that can be used
 to reboot the machine in case of lock. It´s called deadmantimer.
   I used to put a cron entry to preset this counter every 3 min, so
 if it goes to zero the server is rebooted.
   In the past it save me some times.

   Is there anything like this in Freebsd?

Have a look at watchdogd(8).
Only available under 5X and above.

Norbert
