It's not sparc hardware.  It's AMD Opterons.

 Actually it is a all in one machine that runs

 I would like to split load on several machines
 but have no experience of that kind of architecture.
 Infos, links, very welcome.

Not sure about how to get that working nicely with webmail, but the
rest is simple.

You need to have the storage space exported by nfs to every server
machine. Using maildir helps massively as well. This is truely great
for this sort of enviroments.

I have been happy with qmail+spamcontrol, bincimap, spamassassin,
procmail, and clamassassin at work. It all runs nicely over nfs as
well.

Re: Nagios Client on FreeBSD 5.4

2005-10-21 Thread Deepak Naidu

Mike  Pete one question more, sorry dudes...

I have the Nagios server on Linux, Have installed nrpe
v2.0 on FreeBSD, when using check_nrpe from linux box,
I get CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds
error, theres no firewall, but when using chekc_nrpe
from FreeBSD to FreeBSD it works fine. ie chekcing
load, disk etc...

I run nrpe2 as daemon mode not using inetd or xinetd
allowed the hosts in my network ie 2.0

Any clue regarding the error, version issue is not
there, bcos both linux and freebsd use the same nrpe.

Thanx for any input.

Right Mike, this is what exactly I want.  More details are
 
I have LVS server in Linux, installed with Nagios.  I have 5 spam servers and 5 
IMAP and POP servers, from which 2 spam servers are FreeBSD 5.4.  I have been 
monitoring them through Linux nagios, and running nrpe on clients.
 
But now for FreeBSD, I hope for SMTP check or MailQ I dont need any 
installation of nagios client(plugin) right ?
 
If I want to monitor load, disk space, http etc service I have install entire 
nagios package or nagios-statsd, or plugins ?
 
Thanx for any info.

I know this has already been addresses by others but i have another 
answer :)

If im reding you right you have a linux box setup with nagios and you 
want to monitor services on a remote freebsd box ?

SMTP wont be an issue, that can be monitored with check_smtp as someone 
has already suggested, local stats like disk usage can be monitored a 
number of ways, personaly i've found nrpe (nagios remote plugin 
executor), nrpe basicly allows you to execute nagios check plugins over 
a network/the internet, it's in ports (2 versions depending on which 
version of nagios you have installed) and it'll install the 
nagios-plugins package as a dependancy, once it's installed you can 
configure the commands nrpe will answer and these commands in turn call 
a nagios plugin.

Jobs-a-goodun :P

Hi,

yesterday I tried to install FreeBSD 5.4-amd64 on a Sun Fire v40z.
Installation works fine, it finds any hardware and I'm able to

The problem occurs when server is booting. I get a black screen and 
the server reboot automatically.
Server has 4 processors AMD Opteron 850 and 2 scsi hard disk 73GB.

I tried to:
- use only a disk, the problem is the same
- install both Standard boot and FreeBSD Boot Manager, the 
problem is the same.

I noticed in FDisk that, after the installation, the freebsd slice 
lost bootable property.

Please, could someone help me?

Thanks in advance,

SMTP, http imap etc can all be monitored over the internet by the nagios 
box since the check plugins for those are tcp/ip based, things like disk 
space will require the nrpe setup (or one of the equivilent) which only 
needs the plugins, I use nagios and nrpe extensivley to monitor our rack 
at redbus, network services are just another service definition, checks 
for disk access call the nrpe check command on the nagios server which 
connects to the nrpe service on the remote machine which in turn runs 
the nagios check plugin and returns the results to the nagios server!

Basicly you'll need the nrpe package and the nagios plugins package but 
since the nagios plugins are a dependancy of the nrpe port all you'll 
need to install yourself is the nrpe package (assuming you're using 
ports), you'll also need to install the nrpe package on the linux box in 
order to get the check command for nagios!

 On FreeBSD running nagios server, (dunno about
 Linux) From
 /usr/local/libexec/nagios  you'll see the plugins,
 or install them
 from ports if you don't have them already.  For disk
 is check_disk or
 check_local_disk, I don't have it in front of me
 right now.  from
 there you can do in your config file.:
 
 check_command   check_local_disk 
 
 check_command   check_tcp!25   --will monitor your
 SMTP service OR
 check_command   check_SMTP
 
 Read the Nagios docs for syntax on choosing a disk
 slice and setting
 the alert threshold.
 
 Good Luck,
 Bob

With a little information it is so much easier to help you :)

here is a sample cvsup file that will get you 5_STABLE

*default host=cvsup6.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5
*default delete use-rel-suffix
src-all

in /etc/make.conf you need a line that points
to the above file, here is the one in mine:

SUPFILE= /usr/local/etc/cvsup/stable-supfile

I recomend you install sysutils/fastest_cvsup
then add this to /etc/make.conf as well:

SUPHOST= `/usr/local/bin/fastest_cvsup -Qc us`

The above will automatically cycle through the cvservers untill
it finds one that is available when you run cvsup

then cd /usr/src and run make update this will get you the 
5_STABLE sources. From that point read carefully

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
section 20.4.1 The Canonical Way to Update Your System

Because this is your first time you should expect to loose everything on your
system and have taken appropriate precautions ie backing up anything
you cant live without.

 I see that you live in India. Unfortunately, there
 are no
 good mirrors there that I know about. You can try to
 download 6.0-RC1 image from our central ftp server:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/6.0/6.0-RC1-i386-disc1.iso
 
 But if the box is directly connected to the Internet
 (even via slow/lossy link), you'd better cvsup to
 the latest source tree and rebuild world/kernel.
 The update from 5.4 to 6.0 is painless.
 
 6.0 has read-only support for ReiserFS partitions,
 there's an effort to provide XFS support also, but
 it's far from complete yet. For most applications,
 UFS2 is as good (fast, reliable, feature-rich) as
 it gets.
 
 You can learn how to upgrade your system to
 6.0 by reading this:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html
 
 post to this list in case of trouble, but choose
 a new subj line.

My best bet is to check out nagios-statd in ports. The full path is

Should I increase vfs.read_max

2005-10-15 Thread Deepak Naidu
Hi,
 I am running FreeBSD 5.4 on SunFire v20 on single
hard disk 73 GB...

I googled down some links regarding increasing IO
performance.  It said increase vfs.read_max from 8 to
16. I have done that, but cant justify any
improvement, as I am running mailserver(spam checker).
 Should I revert to 8 or use 16.

Have any one tried or is it recommended.

Also, how do I enable hyperthearding, does it improve
performance...

 How do you define perfect? Performance? Mail servers
 are there own animal,
 performance doesn't apply in the same way it does
 with a web server for
 instance. Honestly, you are asking the wrong
 questions. The issues you will
 most likely face are tuning issues for large numbers
 of processes and files
 on disk. The mail server software you use will have
 way more impact on your
 performance and capacity then the OS will.
 
 If you want more specific answers you need to be
 more specific in your
 question. Give some details about what you need to
 do, what capacity you
 need, and you will probably get some helpful
 answers. You just aren't giving
 enough information to get anything useful in return
 other than 'ya freebsd
 will work fine'.

Unloading kernel modules (fault tarp error)

2005-09-22 Thread Deepak Naidu
Hi,
  I have installed LVS server/hearbeat on FreeBSD. 
ipvsadm has some moudles which are to be loaded in
kernel.  I can easily load and unload them using
kldload, and kldunload command, but the issue is that
I want to load them at startup.

But when I pass the argument in /etc/loader.conf
system doesnt startup and I get page fault trap page
fault in kernel error and stop booting.  So I decided
to put them in /etc/rc.local, using the kload command.
 Then the startup is fine, it loads ok.

But when rebooting I get the same error, and after 15
secs starts.  It doesnt unloads the modules(bcos I
havent given any command to unload--- where should I
give if I dont use /etc/loader.conf).

Hope the issue is understood.  Please let me know if
you need more explanation.

Cheers,
Deepak Naidu.

Performance of mailserevr in FreeBSD 5.4

2005-09-20 Thread Deepak Naidu
Hi,

   I wanted to know whether FreeBSD can make a perfect
mailserver compared to mailservers on linux.  I am in
process of porting them, but needed some statistical
info regarding its performance compared with other os.

It seems many webservers are run on FreeBSD, I know
its stable, but any specific, like less IO process
kernel, system tuning etc

Cheers,
Deepak Naidu

It certainly does.

A few months ago I did some testing and found that freebsd 5.4 with softupdates
enabled was able to process IIRC ~300% more email than fedora core 4. In fact 
sendmail on fbsd 5.4 handled nearly as much email as postfix on fc4 while 
postfix on fbsd 5.4 was smokin' the wire. I still have the hard data around

thanx for the hint, ya thats ok, is sysinstall only
used for jumpstart installation, or is it do something

b'cos i wanted it to be made in a custom-CD containing
my apps, and configs, so that it gets installed on

 Sysinstall is for installing FreeBSD. It works with
 a variety of install 
 types. As long as you stick with the format of the
 install CD you should be 
 able to add to it and have an installable system.

Porting from LInux to FreeBSD

2005-09-08 Thread Deepak Naidu
Hi,
   I am trying to migrate my mail servers from Fedora
core 3 to FreeBSD 5.4, due to performance issue.  Had
few questions.

1)Which is the suitable filesystem ie UFS2, Ext2
etc...
for mailing server. I used raiserfs in linux.  Which
File System's are supported in FreeBSD 5.4 and which
is stable for mailing system.  How do i enable them in
kernel.

2)How to i find memory, cpu information in freebsd,
apart from TOP. In linux we have free and
/pro/cpuinfo.  I dont see any files under /proc

3) Is SMP support enabled in FreeBSD 5.4, or should I
recompile the kernel for the support(what kernel
arguments should I use).

Regards,
Deepak Naidu.

Re: Porting from LInux to FreeBSD

i am using my yahoo a/c ... ya regarding xfs its only
read only support in 6.0 and no support for 5.4

Thanx 
Deepak Naidu.

 Hey Subhro thanx for the info.  I used Reiserfs in
 linux, bcos its reads and writes smaller files
 faster
 like file size of 1-5 Mb, basically for mailing
 solution.  I dont know where iam wrong.  
 
 I have read regarding XFS, in freebsd any info ?.
 So ok FreeBSD supports UFS1/2, dos, fat, fat32,
 ext2
 reiserfs read only, ok cool...
 
 So how do i enable Reiserfs in kernel, and do the
 partion at install time...
 
 http://people.freebsd.org/~rodrigc/xfs/index.html
   
 
 XFS is supported in FBSD. For infomration regarding
 enabling various 
 stuff in the kernel have a look at
 /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES. BTW, your 
 mail client incorrectly marks the replies. Why dont
 u use thunderbird? 
 Its a really cool client IMHO. Also send a cc to 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 Thanks

 Hi,
  
 
   
 
 Hello :-),
 
 
 
   I am trying to migrate my mail servers from
   
 
 Fedora
 
 
 core 3 to FreeBSD 5.4, due to performance issue. 
 
   
 
 Cool! Go for it :-)
 
 
 
 1)Which is the suitable filesystem ie UFS2, Ext2
 etc...
 for mailing server. I used raiserfs in linux. 
   
 
 Which
 
 
 File System's are supported in FreeBSD 5.4 and
   
 
 which
 
 
 is stable for mailing system.  How do i enable
 them
   
 
 in
 
 
 kernel.
  
 
   
 
 The native filesystem for FreeBSD 5.x and above is
 UFS2 which performs
 exceptionally well IMHO. Reiserfs also has support
 in FBSD although
 readonly only. Just something off topic, did you
 have any reasons for
 using ReiserFS in Linux and not use EXT2/3?
 
 
 
 2)How to i find memory, cpu information in
 freebsd,
 apart from TOP. In linux we have free and
 /pro/cpuinfo.  I dont see any files under /proc
  
 
   
 
 what information do you need that top does not
 provide? You can try
 sysctl -a | more and analyse all the kernel
 runtime
 variables.
 
 
 
 3) Is SMP support enabled in FreeBSD 5.4, or
 should
   
 
 I
 
 
 recompile the kernel for the support(what kernel
 arguments should I use).
  
 
   
 
 No SMP by default is not there in the stock
 kernel.
 However you can boot
 up your SMP box with the stock kernel and cimpile
 SMP support in it.
 Refer to the handbook for the kernel parameters.
 Also have a look at
 /usr/src/sys/arch/conf/GENERIC
 and
 /usr/src/sys/arch/conf/NOTES for examples where
 arch is your
 architecture (i386,amd64,etc)
 
 Welcome to the world of FreeBSD.
 
 Thanks
 S.
