any use to build from source?
Hi all, I must say that I was initially interested in the idea of building software from source - but I am kind of loosing it. Certainly, it allows you to compile with the compiler options you want, you are able to optimize the binaries for your CPU, but: does it really matter? Are the speed improvements really visible? Dependencies was another argument: you compile with the correct headers of dependant files, well... is that really so? If you upgraded the dependant binaries, wouldn't you get the same effect? One certain drawback of compiling from source is the compilation time. Large packages like KDE or OpenOffice take ages, so you can't just quickly upgrade a whole system, or a large part of it. I might add that I am more the typical desktop user, not using my machines for real and specific server apps. So, my question is basically: did you, in your experience, find that compiling from source *really* has any serious advantages that make up for the time it takes? -PU ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: any use to build from source?
Giorgos Keramidas wrote: Before I answer to this question, I cannot help noting that you don't *HAVE* to compile everything from source. In fact, if you install a RELEASE version of FreeBSD and use pkg_add to install the binary, precompiled packages of just the applications you are going to use... there is absolutely no need to rebuild anything from source. True for the CDs. But once you want to upgrade, things get more complicated. For example, I did not find a package for OpenOffice 1.1.1 in the offical places, although OO is certainly an excellent candidate for a package. This led me to the conclusion that packages, in the FBSD world, are considered less important than the very well maintained ports. I would prefer it to be the other way round: go for packages, unless you want to tweak anything. Now, some of us -- actually, I feel that this is a large percentage of the FreeBSD users, if the amount of questions posted here on this list is of any significance at all -- a great percentage of us likes trimming our installations; we like building our packages with the exact options and feature sets that *we* prefer. In such cases, having the ability to build from source is absolutely marvelous. I agree with that argument, you can tailor the compilation. But it's probably not systematical, but rather the exception. I do not agree with an earlier argument, which was that you could change the source. I have been programming for 25 years now, I am certain that you don't change code, not even in a reasonably sized project, without spending a large amount of time. -pu ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Giorgos Keramidas wrote: Indeed, packages-4-stable, packages-4.10-release on ftp.freebsd.org don't include openoffice. A search at google though yields: http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/ which does list FreeBSD packages of OO-1.0.3 and OO-1.1.0 :-) Which is not 1.1.1 or the latest 1.1.2. This is preferable from the end-user's perspective, but I think it would exponentially increase the number of precompiled binaries the mirrors would have to keep available. If a port has 3 options and depends on another with 4 options, to host every possible combination that one might want on the FTP site 12 different combinations would have to be built and packaged! With thousands of ports in the tree this means a mind-boggingly huge number of different builds and packages can be built. Is it possible to satisfy all the users with precompiled packages? No. My argument is the other way round: build a package will *all* available options. It will be bloated, but still smaller (in download size) and faster to install. If you like it, keep it, and want to tweak it afterwards, OK, go for it, the investment is worthwile That makes one single package that should suit everybody (unless options are mutually exclusive, of course, but that's not often the case AFAIK). I believe that, for most software, we are just end-users. I have a local patch to fetchmail in my local /usr/ports tree that fixes a bug recent versions have with APOP: It didn't take me more than 15 minutes to write, but then I'm working as a programmer so that's normal. Fetchmail is, IMHO, a reasonably sized project. I'm not saying this to sound insulting to you in any way, or to boast about my ''l33t h4x0r skillz'' -- that's nonsense. I am only bringing it up as a good example where building the port *does* have obvious advantages. That is indeed a reasonable example, but I am not sure there are many of them.

FreeBSD 4.9 rebooting into single user mode
Hi, I just applied the FreeBSD-SA-04:04.tcp patch onto my 4.9-STABLE box and rebooted. On more than one occasion FreeBSD boots into single user mode and awaits for someone to enter the default shell path.

Re: FreeBSD 4.9 rebooting into single user mode
I would suggest that something is wrong. FreeBSD generally doesn't boot into single user mode unless it's either told to, or has to. The most likely probable cause is a bad HDD*, but there may be other possibilities. What happens after someone does enter the default shell path? Does another reboot cure the problem? What console messages (if any, but there should be some) appear to be abnormal prior to the boot prompt? Usually, another reboot fixes the problem, yes. However, this last time was due to some /etc/fstab error, don't have the exact error since the folks at the NOC couldn't remember it, I finally got it fixed, not sure how, but the idents wern't in fstab...I added them back and it worked for some reason. I suspect it might drop into single user mode to fsck...but from my experiences with the boxes I have here, it does that on a normal boot if it needs to, not single user... Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P.

Alias on loopback interface???
Hi folks. I'd appreciate any comments on the pros and cons of configuring an alias IP on the loopback interface. I've tried it and it works OK, but perhaps there are repercussions that have not occurred to me. Why?

I am planning to set assign each box a unique IP for my internal admin purposes, but then got to wondering which interface is most suitable to carry this new alias. That's when I though - Hey - why not use lo0 ? I do run ipf/ipnat and ipfw/DUMMYNET on many of these. Clearly I will need to make provision for this unusual traffic on the lo0 interface too. Of course, the IPs I intend using will be RFC1918 compliant private addresses. Thanks for any comments.

Re: Bandwidth Question
From: Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was wondering what is the best way to limit bandwidth to a set of IP addresses? I've read some about dummynet. Would this be the preffered tool to use? Yes - dummynet must be used in conjunction with ipfw. ipfw is for firewalling, but you can use it to select traffic which must be limitted by dummynet. 'man ipfw' and 'man dummynet' Also, if someone could recommend a program to log how much bandwidth a particular IP uses per month etc..., and also display graphs about bandwidth usage I would appreciate it. check out mrtg in the ports collection.

cvsup-mirror
Hi everyone :) I just installed cvsup-mirror. When it asked me about 'distributions' I was not entirely sure what that meant, so I accepted them all. I actually just need to create a mirror from which I can locally distribute 'src-all' and 'ports-all' using cvsup on my collection of local machines. Perhaps 'doc-all' would be nice too (later). Now, cvsup-mirror started running the distribution 'FreeBSD.cvs', and that seems to include docs, etc. Is that all I will need? What exactly are the other distributions, like 'FreeBSD-mail', etc? Finally, can I enable/disable the distributions simply by editing the value of 'distribs=...' in the file '/usr/local/etc/cvsup/config.sh'? Thanks. -- Regards, Patrick O'Reilly.

From what I've read from you it appears you haven't done everything
these steps tell you to do.
I must concur with Steve.
Just yesterday I set up bind in it's own little sandbox. I did it by
following the instructions in the link Steve quoted above. It works
just fine!
OK - I stumbled over one tiny problem. when building the statically
linked 'named-xfer', the Handbook concludes with :
# cp named-xfer /etc/namedb/bin chmod 555 /etc/namedb/bin/named-xfer
But the newly built 'named-xfer' is not in the current directory. A
tiny bit of lateral thinking prompted me to look in /usr/obj`pwd` - and
there it was - nice and fresh!
I actually built myself a script as I went along, because I intend doing
this again in future without always reading the manual. It's brand
new, so please forgive the rough edges. And I have changed a couple of
things to suit my personal taste and setup. Here's my script:

Hi all. I have been unable to 'make' the documentation for a while now. I cannot find any reference to this problem in the Archives. Below is the output from the 'make'.

Re: Traffic shaping - current best practice?
From: Fernando Gleiser [EMAIL PROTECTED] You need a fair sharing queueing discipline, something like CBQ. I don't know if you can do that with dummynet. I know for sure ALTQ works great for this.

Re: IPFW DUMMYNET shaping 4.6.2-R - Speed limited to half of pipe limit
From: Randy Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, I am using IPFW and DUMMYNET to do traffic shaping on 4.6.2-R gateway (uname -a below). I have set the upload to 800Kbit/s and the download to 1500Kbit/s. Here is the relevent section from ipfw.conf. add 500 pipe 1 ip from 192.169.91.16:255.255.255.240 to any pipe 1 config bw 800Kbit/s add 500 pipe 2 ip from any to 192.168.91.16:255.255.255.240 pipe 2 config bw 1500Kbit/s If I've read the docs correctly, the network 192.168.91.16/240 should have it's upload limited to 800Kbs it's download to 1500Kbs. However, MRTG is reporting that the upload traffic is maxing out at around 400Kbs. I have played with the upload speed and the connection always maxes out at about half of what I set it to. My questions: 1) How do I get the traffic limited to the bw I set it to? 2) What is causing this? 3) Would changing/setting the queuing method help? Randy, Your problem is simple: Remember that IPFW interacts with packets as they pass through interfaces. Your ipfw rules will match each packet twice - once as it enters the gateway from the source network, and a second time as it leaves the gateway en route to the destination. Both times you are queuing the packet in the same pipe. This means that each packet uses twice its own bandwidth in the pipe The solution is to change your rules as follows (assume fxp0 is your internet NIC): add 500 pipe 1 ip from 192.169.91.16:255.255.255.240 to any via fxp0 add 500 pipe 2 ip from any to 192.168.91.16:255.255.255.240 via fxp0 --- Regards, Patrick O'Reilly. ______ / _ )__ __ (_)_ __ ___ _/ / __ / __/ -_) _) / ~ ) -_), ,-/ -_) _) /_/ \__/_//_/_/~/_/\__/ \__/\__/_/ http://www.perimeter.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: route settings in rc.conf - question, with details.
From: Firsto Lasto [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I have a system with IPs assigned from 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 Right now I have this in my rc.conf: defaultrouter=10.10.10.10 ifconfig_fxp0=inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig_fxp0_alias0=inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 ifconfig_fxp0_alias1=inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 So, as you can see I have one default route, and both /24s use that single 10.10.10.10 as the default router. But, because I have simply added the 192.168.1.1 IP as one more plain old alias, I now get this in my logs: /kernel: arplookup 10.10.10.10 failed: host is not on local network So, how do I add 192.168.1.1 as an alias, without adding another defaultrouter, since my current defaultrouter setting is already correct ? The problem is not with the aliases - it is (as the message says) because the default router is not on a local network. If the router is attached via fxp0, then try adding an alias like this: ifconfig_fxp0_alias2=inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 Then your system will know which interface to use to talk to 10.10.10.10. --- Regards, Patrick O'Reilly. ______ / _ )__ __ (_)_ __ ___ _/ / __ / __/ -_) _) / ~ ) -_), ,-/ -_) _) /_/ \__/_//_/_/~/_/\__/ \__/\__/_/ http://www.perimeter.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
MRTG queries
Hi there.. I'm running mrtg-2.9.18pre11 with apache2 (httpd-2.0.36) on FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE I've written a custom script for MRTG and seem to be having some problems and was wondering if anyone can answer some questions with regards to MRTG itself.. 1. If you have multiple .cfg files (in different directories with different target names) but the .cfg file name is the same.. Will MRTG accept this? 2. Does MRTG support target names of pure numbers? (eg Target[123]: `/usr/local/scripts/bwscript` ) 3. If the bwscript file is copied into multiple directories (eg: /mrtg/1 /mrtg/2 /mrtg/3 and so on) but also, with the same name.. And therefore, creates the same values / filenames in each directory (val1, val2, val3, val4, tim1, tim2, tim3, tim4) would this cause MRTG to have a panic/not work?

Console Messages Remotely
I like how when I su to root in FreeBSD, I get the console messages to my virtual tty. I have one server, though, where these messages are not being displayed. I haven't changed anything of which that I'm aware that would cause this, and my /etc/syslog.conf file seems okay: *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console When I login remotely, and become root, I would like authentication errors and such to display on my terminal. I seem to remember once seeing an option that asked me if I wanted /dev/console to be redirected to any root tty, but for the life of me, I can't seem to locate where this option is. Does anyone know how I can (re-)activate this? I'm running 4.6.2, by the way.

Re: natd or firewall problem?
Hi, IN order to enlighten you we need some more information. Sounds to me you could be having issues with internal/external DNS and ip-addresses. In other words, you are querying your www server from a dns and is getting the Internet ip back instead of the lan ip. Can you connect to your www server with ip? Regards Patrick Hello dear list, I have one FreeBSD router in front of the internal network. Now I've installed another FreeBSD box which must be the www sever. I've managed to redirect the port 80 at the router and the web server is visible to the outside world.

RE: natd or firewall problem?
Thats right, you can do the following: Put the ip-address with its FQDn (www.webserverwhatever.com) in every hosts file (taken its windows) or in its hosts file on freebsd. Or you run an internal DNS with an internal zone for your domain whilst running on the internet the external zone.

RE: natd or firewall problem?
I think that has to depend on how your natting and firewalling is set up. Aka how do you manage incoming traffic, outgoing and forwarding traffic between 2 interfaces. I'm using ipchains for it, and I got my rules per interface setup, and do thorough checks regarding sources. But it is something that could work. Just have to work out your firewall rules. I use 2 types of dns, one for internal use, and the other for external.

Would the packets not just be directed out to the router as per usual and then the router would notice it should forward the packets to the www server? What am I missing?

ping -f differences in pinging windows 2003 and FreeBSD
Hi, I've got the following kit running; FreeBsd 5.3Release-p5, 4.10-RELEASE-p2, Windows XP SP2, Syslinux and Windows 2003 SP1. They all are connected to a 3com 100mbit Hub. All machines 100Mbit HalfDuplex. When I execute the ping -f command from 5.3 to 4.10 I am getting a ~18% packetloss, the same when I execute the command from 4.10 to 5.3. However when I ping -f the Windows 2003 server, the Syslinux Firewall or Windows XP I am lucky if at least 10 packets are dropped. In both FreeBSD boxes Intel Nics are used (fxp). Why does the other OS-es seem to handle this better than FreeBSD? Is there something I could change to improve (if I should) the networkhandling? Or am I now only chasing ghosts? When I am running a ftp filetransfer between the 2 FreeBSD boxes I get speeds up until 7.25MB/s, which is a good throughput in my humble opinion.

If you want to do this for the sake of practice, by all means, feel free. However, mirroring onto the same device is going to result in almost no benefit to reliability and will cause a very large performance hit, as well as reducing the usable amount of disk space in half. (In other words, actually leaving the machine set up that way would be an incredibly bad idea.) Mr. Swiger; I agree, except that I had anticipated absolutely *no* benefit to reliability. If the disk goes bad, then having a mirror on the same disk, different slice, would still give me...no disk. I simply wanted to get the practice by actually doing, instead of just reading about it. I'll probably re-install Slackware on the other slice when I get done playing around.

Kernel mixup after dump/restore
List; I have a slice on ad0s1 mounting the root FS from ad0s2a, and vice-verse. Here's what I did. 1. Started out with a 20 Gig drive with two equal slices, ad0s1 (blank) and ad0s2 (FreeBSD). 2. Used sysinstalls fdisk and bsdlabel to create /, /var, /tmp, and /usr partitions on ad0s1 equal in size to those on ad0s2. 3. Used the following command to copy partitions from ad0s2 to ad0s1; dump -L -0 -f- /usr | (cd /mnt/hd/usr; restore -r -v -f-) /usr is on ad0s2 and /mnt/hd/usr is ad0s1. 4. Changed /mnt/hd/etc on ad0s1 to mount partitions on ad0s1, rather than ad0s2. 5. Used grub to boot either to ad0s1 or ad0s2. When I boot the first slice (ad0s1), df(1) shows all the partitions to be ad0s1, except root, which is ad0s2. When I boot the second slice (ad0s2), df(1) shows all partitions to be ad0s2, except root, which is ad0s1. Can anyone explain this behaviour, and why it might have happened?

Now, to start all servers I want to create a master script that looks up

So the question is: given a username, how do I get the homedir?

A better solution would be to retry the open and ioctl calls if they fail, after a short wait (but only doing so for a couple seconds in case there was a problem starting the child process). hmmm I see. In fact, I have the cannot open error for a normal truss usage, and if I repeat the truss command very fast, I got the second error (PIOCWAIT: Input/output error). Slowing down the process is an interesting workaround : truss ls - fails 100% of the time ktrace truss ls - fail most of the time truss `which ls` - works great. I have no idea why the PIOCWAIT ioctl would fail like that neither have I...

Trying to build for apache 2 not apache 1
Hi, I am having trouble installing a port/package because it wants to use Apache 1.3 whereas I am running Apache 2 on the server in question. As far as I can tell, I should install by building the port rather than using the package because the package is obviously pre-compiled for Apache 1.3. Fair enough, but how can I build the port for apache 2 if there aren't any makefile options regarding apache? The port in question is php4-mysql.

make vs. pkg_add
Hi all, Not that I expect to be swayed one way or the other here, but... I'm curious to see what other users think of using either the 'make' commands or 'pkg_add' for compiling and installing software. I'm admittedly a bit of a newbie, and I've tried it both ways, after CVSup-ing the source and ports of course. In most cases 'pkg_add' seems to work better, but the problem solver in me wants to see 'make all install clean' and its brethren work at least once. Am I to understand that 'make' and its accompanying command options will download source, dependencies, needed libs, et al. while compiling, building, and installing just like 'pkg_add' does? I'm probably doing something wrong such that 'make' isn't playing nice, but I'd still appreciate some further insight from more experienced users.

Re: Can't install gaim on FreeBSD 4.x
This is more a question of curiosity rather than a solution since I'm an admitted newbie, so treat this as an inquiry to the masses. Would portupgrade help in this case to upgrade and/or install a newer version of the Gaim source/port for you to use? For example, I just ran cvsup on a clean new system (4.9R on a Dell laptop) to download the latest ports and source and the version of Gaim in my ports is now 0.73, the latest release. I know I'm scattershooting, but maybe I'm helping shed some light. In /usr/share/examples/cvsup there are sample supfiles that I just edit and use. The ports-supfile will download all current ports from the CVS tree to /usr/ports, and the standard-supfile will download all current source for your version (mine happens to be 4.9R) to /usr/src. Maybe try that and installing from the latest ports for your OS version and see what happens. pkg_add -vr cvsup-without-gui (to install the text only version of CVSup) ** -v is not required...I just like the verbose output to see what is actually happening.** logout/log back in...as root go to /usr/share/examples/cvsup edit the appropriate supfile as you see fit...remembering to edit the CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org line to reflect which CVSup mirror you want to hitexample cvsup5.FreeBSD.org. save changes and exit file(s) cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile cvsup -g -L 2 standard-supfile Just a few of my thoughts.

Re: Apparent packet duplication logged by IPF
Thanks. I am a little apprehensive about publishing my entire firewall ruleset on a public list, as you can surely understand. Especially since I am still learning, and will probably show everyone some glaring holes which have not yet closed... Anyway, the entire ruleset does not have a single log directive: --- root fox:~# ipfstat -nioh | grep log root fox:~# --- I have enabled global logging of accepted packets by 'ipf -l pass'. Also, as you can see in the extract I sent all the packets being logged are from my rule #21, so I think that rules out duplication due to multiple rule matches. Rule 21 is for HTTPS traffic, and it does Keep State, as can be seen in the log entries too. As for nat, the only rule I have which affects 192.168.0.180 is this: --- map ed1 from 192.168.0.0/16 to any - 168.209.221.66/32 --- The result of this NAT rule can be seen in snip (2) included with my original mail.

The problem is that I see many packets apparently being duplicated in the ipmon.log. The packet enters the firewall from the internal interface OK, but it appears to be transmitted out to the internet twice. Conversely, there are often multiple inbound packets from the internet which become just one on the internal interface.

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

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