No, you should not assume that running the command from an interactive

under.
You were correct! I've added PATH=${PATH}:%%PREFIX%%/bin to the sample
file (where %%PREIFX%% obviously gets mangled). It works great now. I
must admit I can see a situation where somebody might install my port in
a weird PREFIX and then it still won't find python (if it's installed in
the default, /usr/local) -- but I really can't see any way to handle
that nicely.
Thanks for the help, I'm hopefully going to submit this port soon --

Repeated polling of CD/DVD-ROM.
Hi,
I have written some code that does some rather nasty stuff to determine
whether or not there is media in the drive. It is basically this:
open('/dev/dvd', 'rb')
read(1)
at which point if I get an exception (in Python) I know there is no
media (or it is blank). If it throws no exception I consider the disc
to be good.
I know how bad this is (I unfortunately don't understand ioctls and
need this to work quickly in the short term -- I plan on learning more
about this stuff and doing it properly later) but my question is this:
Does the device actually get read /every/ time I do this operation? (it
gets called every two seconds) It looks to me that after an initial
probe there are no further accesses, which makes me wonder if further
down some caching is done. Anybody know what is really going on?
Thanks,
-lewiz.

Had a fiddle with /etc/rc.conf and /boot/loader.conf, and discovered that if I refrain from loading the nvidia module at boot time, ppp works fine and dandy. The only thing that I can think is that the Nvidia card is using a conflicting IRQ or some other system setting that your modem also requires. I can't provide any more guesses than that but it might give you something to investigate. Secondly, have you compiled XFree86 and the Nvidia driver without any optimizations, etc.? You never know, this might be the problem. Incidentally, I still have the linux kernel module - which nvidia seems to require - loaded, so I think we can cross that off the list of suspects. One last thought -- have you tried using the FreeBSD agp module instead of the Nvidia one, etc. There are all sorts of combinations that might just help you out. I can fully sympathise too.

unionfs and permissions.
Hi, I'm struggling to setup a ``base'' jail that I can base other jails on.

I am aware it's not supported (it's already panicked my machine twice (or more) for which I have sent reports -- they were pretty specific to what I was doing though) fully but there seems little other way. I ran into troubles when I found that the permissions of the ``base'' were not maintained. This is somewhat annoying as stuff like mailqueues, etc. just don't work. I know I can change them from the upper-level jail, but I don't want to have to do this. Does anybody know of a ``base'' jail solution? Is it with unionfs? Do permissions work?

weird natd issue (maybe reinjection trouble?)
# please cc me! I've just got to university and can't get all my mail # right now. It'd really help a lot. Thanks! Hi, I'm having trouble with natd on a dual-homed host. I've done my best to troubleshoot the problem but I'm no networking expert and I'm hoping it's something I've overlooked. I have two machines -- clientmachine (also black.lewiz.org/192.168.0.12) and natdmachine (also purple.lewiz.org/192.168.0.1, lh014.halls.umist.ac.uk/130.88.163.14). natdmachine can access the Internet fine -- I can use the web, ping, etc. However, when it comes to natting the connection I stumble across problems. First of all ICMP ping works and I get replies. Some nat stuff is going on and seemingly working. However, if I try and access the web (through a proxy at UMIST) the trouble starts. It seems to me that the following is happening (the ``evidence'' from tcpdump and natd is shown below): clientmachine attempts to access site through proxy. The default route is to natdmachine. This arrives at natdmachine and gets passed through natd, which then duly sends out the packet to the proxy. Fine. The response from the proxy comes back, goes through natd (which realises where the packet is bound) and then... well, nothing. It's very much as though natd doesn't spit the packet back out. I have searched for reinjection problems but afaik this is not it (please tell me I'm wrong!) I've not included the log outputs for an ICMP ping but it basically shows: 22:43:20.207183 black.lewiz.org 216.239.37.99: icmp: echo request 22:43:20.288565 216.239.37.99 black.lewiz.org: icmp: echo reply on natdmachine's local interface (sis0).

Crash under disk writes (vinum?)
Hi, I'm running 5.1-RELEASE (latest patch version) on a machine with a couple of disks set up in a concatenated vinum-type config. Periodically if I do some ``heavy'' writes to the concatenated disk it causes the system to panic and reboot. I'm not sure it's because of vinum, but my guess is that it is -- on the same two disks is a mirrored volume which has no write problems. My questions are first) has anybody else heard of this? Any solutions or ideas? and secondly) how can I effectively go about debugging this? This is a headless machine and it reboots often before I realise, so I can't see the diagnostic messages. With some debugging symbols in the kernel can I provide useful stuff for somebody to look at? Will my vinum config be useful for helping resolve this issue?

Complicated ipfw/ipf forwarding.
Hi, I have a public IP address and a couple of machines sitting behind a FreeBSD router doing NAT. I'm using ipnat and ipf right now (although I used to use natd/ipfw so I don't mind switching -- I started using ipf/ipnat because of an odd problem with 5.1-RELEASE but I'm switching back to 4.9 now) and wondered if it was possible to do forwarding based on DNS. For example Apache is clever enough to support virtual hosts based on the address requested. Is there any way at all to do this for forwarding on the router? For example if I had three CNAMES for the same IP red, pink and blue. Could I have red.foo.bar forwarded to 192.168.0.2, pink.foo.bar forwarded to 192.168.0.3 and say blue.foo.bar go to the local machine (i.e. the router)?

How? I only have one external IP address (say 1.2.3.4) but behind the NAT machine I have many. However, I have a.foo.com, b.foo.com and c.foo.com. I want some IP forwarding software to rewrite the destination address from 1.2.3.4 based on the CNAME entry (in the same way Apache can do). Does that make any more sense? Or am I missing the point?

By the sounds of it you have one external IP address but three jails (each running on a 192.168.x.x address). If you want to be able to forward requests for different domains to internal jails based on the hostname, this is not possible. The only way to do this is (that I know of) is to use a single Apache server with Virtual hosts. Otherwise, you will need to obtain at least two more external IP addresses.

sftp mount?
Hi, I'm wondering if there might be any way to mount an sftp ``filesystem''? At my university everything is firewalled and the only way I can transfer files to/from my account is to use sftp -- but that gets quite painful after a while. I was wondering if anybody knew a way I might achieve what could essentially be described as mounting an sftp ``export''? Maybe I could specify an argument that sets the logical root? So: mount_sftp --root=/home/lewiz foo.bar.com /remote_home would provide /home/lewiz on foo.bar.com at /remote_host? Is this possible in any way at all?

Network timeout.
Hi, I'm having problems with my network connection timing out during large transfers. It's connected to a 10Mbit hub so it's not topping out at the card's maximum throughput. Originally I had a Realtek 8139 card but yesterday I dumped that in favour of a Netgear FA311 (sis chipset) and this seemed to solve all timeout problems of sustained transfers (saturating the connection for a sustained period of time). However, I've just had a couple more timeouts in the last few hours. Obviously I was never sure it was the NIC in the first place but I can't ignore the fact I had a good 20GB transferred without problem yesterday (as opposed to usually around 1GB before the card dies). Data is being uploaded to a Samba server, which reports no errors in the log (and I have no problems uploading a 100Mbit from inside my network). The server is running 4.9-RELEASE and the drive the data is going to is a vinum volume (in case that has any bearing). I'm using ipnat to forward port 139 to inside a jail. Finally, my IP is assigned by a DHCP server -- the lease length is 24h but my IP is static (for the last four months, anyway ;). Any suggestions for the best way to go about tracking the problem down? If anybody needs any more details just ask and I'll do my best to provide.

Apache2 mod_auth_ldap (FreeBSD-specific problem?)

xmove over SSH.
Hi, At Kris Kennaway's suggestion I have been trying out xmove, which allows me to suspend an X app, move it between X displays, etc. I've got this working great on one machine (actually a jail), where my sshd_config has: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost no I start xmove and it prints: Implementing MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 user authentication XMove 2.0 ready. However. On another machine (not a jail), which the same sshd_config, except with X11UseLocalhost yes, I only get this message: XMove 2.0 ready. i.e. it doesn't seem to read my MIT magic cookie. I checked this by changing the X11UseLocalhost to no on the problematic machine and xmove then reads the cookie. However, with this setting I am unable to get any display forwarded, even something simple like xclock without any xmove.

Why would the script be readable or writeable by any user? It only needs to be executable, right? Well, since it's an interpreted script (it's some standalone PHP) in order to execute it, the user must be able to read it. Since the script holds passwds that means that any user with the ability to run it can get the passwds (in my case to access my MySQL server). This is a ``flaw'' with the way Apache works because everything Apache executes must be +rw for the Apache user (www). As a result any person able to write PHP code (all of my users) can read anything that the Apache user can, because mod_php executes as the Apache user. There are security features in PHP (safe_mode) but these conflict with a large number of PHP scripts. I'm trying to work it out this way now but it's a lot of hassle.

All you can do really is store the passwords themselves in an include file that you put in the most secure place possible, preferably not in webspace. But I imagine you have this covered.

Maybe through using a wrapper of some sort? I do not have UFS2 so I cannot use ACLs. Not that I know of, but have you considered compiling apache with suexec? Assuming your other users have seperate logins, this might work. You can have apache execute scripts as the appropriate user, not www. That way, a 700 permission should prevent other users from reading your scripts. I read some stuff about this. I got the impression it required using PHP as a CGI, instead of mod_php. Am I wrong in thinking this? The overhead of using PHP as CGI is a little too high because the server is already pretty stretched...

Growing RAID5 (using RAID0).
Hi, I've been thinking about this and I'm wondering if it is possible to do something like the following: I have an existing RAID5 volume, comprised of just 3 120GB disks. However, I've just bought three more 250GB disks that I also want to RAID5. I would still like a single volume, comprising the size of the two RAID5 volumes. Could this be possible through the use of RAID0? i.e. can I create a RAID0 volume from two RAID5 volumes? I understand this might sound a little odd but if it works it would be the ideal solution for me. I would also be interested in hearing how other people might have overcome this problem of growing a large RAID5 volume.

Network File System (Coda, AFS) question.
Hi, I'm interested in setting up a distributed file system across two 5.2.1 machines. I wanted this to work such that the two machines had /different/ data but through the use of some software they can be ``mounted'' to provide a single large volume (almost the same way that the RAID0 works). First of all I'm not sure that this is possible -- I'm having a little trouble understanding some of the Coda terminology. If somebody could confirm/refute this I'd be interested. Secondly does anybody know which is my best bet (in general -- regardless of network concat support)? AFS ports seem to be nonexistent (bar a client) while Coda has a version 6 port (but no documentation newer than 2000 that I can see). If Coda is not able to do what I want -- does anybody know another way to do this?

vmware3 -CURRENT.
Hi, I've just CVSupped to -CURRENT in an attempt to learn more about FreeBSD development in general. However, vmware3 no longer works. I get errors about vmnet1 not existing, yet I have the appropriate entries in /compat/linux/dev. However, I /do/ have a vmnet4097 when I run ifconfig. I notice that ls -ld /compat/linux/dev/vmnet1 shows: crw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 149, 0x0081 Mar 5 12:49 /compat/linux/dev/vmnet1 while ls -ld /dev/vmnet1 shows: crw--- 1 root wheel 226, 0x0011 Mar 5 12:01 /dev/vmnet1 I searched on the mailing lists and eventually found an old PR (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=48608) that seems as though it might be relevant. Any suggestions? Or am I being optimistic in thinking vmware3 will run on -CURRENT? -lewiz. P.S.

I would also be interested in hearing how other people might have overcome this problem of growing a large RAID5 volume. As you didnt post anything about your implementation I can only guess. If you are using hardware raid5 for each disk set and it cannot do raid0 on top you could look at using software raid0 to join the two hardware sets. Eg vinum can do raid0 in software over raid5 in hardware. If you are doing this purely in software it will depend on what software you use. If using vinum I believe you can only mirror across two (or more) raid5 plexes, so probably not what you want to do. Yes. I forgot to specify but this was going to be purely software RAID. I've recently had a little trouble buying a hardware ATA raid card (I was shipped an incorrect model and lost out about GBP 100!) so until then I'm software only. I looked at (I think) raidframe (?) and this /appeared/ to support this functionality but I wasn't sure if it was something Vinum was also able to do. It seems you have clarified this for me.

Data recovery.
Hi, I've just had a disk (pretty much) fail on me. I'd been suspect of it for some time now, but finally confirmed it with a reinstall to 5.2.1 when GEOM started removing it for me ;) Some more tests with smartmontools (http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/) indicate read failures at the same position on the disk. This problem is made worse by the fact that this is a 100GB disk, part of a Vinum RAID-0 array (together with two more 120GB disks). I have managed to get my hands on a 123GB disk for backing up the data to to. I know I am going to have to use dd for this, but this is something I've never done before (short of a quick flirt with floppy images, etc.) Since GEOM has previously removed the volume when it hit the bad area I need to know if I can disable this to recover as much data as possible (some is better than none). If this requires installing 4 then that's how I'll have to do it. Basically I would like to ask -questions if anybody has any advice (other than ``you should have made backups'' -- I was in the process of buying a 3Ware RAID card for this purpose ;) as to how I should go about this. Anything at all... I'm pretty desperate at this point!

Vinum, replaced disk -- fsck error.
Hi, I had a failed disk in my RAID-0 Vinum array. This was a physical disk problem and in an attempt to recover as much data as possible I dd'ed it to another disk (dd if=ad3 of=ad1 bs=8192 conv=noerror). This has mostly gone fine (bar the I/O errors that were to be expected) and I can actually start vinum and mount the RAID-0 array with no trouble (Vinum reports no errors I can see). I don't really know how I can test the integrity of files from the replaced disk... I attempted to fsck the volume before I mounted it but I first had to restore the superblock for the volume (tunefs -A /dev/vinum/data), which worked fine. However (and this is my real problem), fsck_ufs /dev/vinum/data gives the following message: ** /dev/vinum/data cannot alloc 4316869296 bytes for inphead * FILE SYSTEM STILL DIRTY * Searching about doesn't reveal much of any use -- Google Groups has a few of these errors for Solaris, so I assume it to be a fairly ``generic'' UFS error (?) Any suggestions what I can do now? I am expecting corruption on my array but I thought some corruption was better than nothing at all. Am I way off thinking that I can do this? I've not included many specific details here because I don't know if they are relevant. Just ask if I've missed anything and I'll provide it right away.

This may or may not work, depending on details you haven't reported. I can't think of anything else. Originally I ran dd without the conv=noerror and it stopped at around 25GB (the disk is a 100GB). The destination disk is 123GB but to my knowledge that is acceptable for dd. During the process a number (maybe eight to ten) I/O errors were reported. Previously I believe reading data from these areas on the disk caused Vinum to lose the disk (under 4-STABLE), I presume this was by design, or unavoidable. Under 5.2.1-p1 GEOM removed the disk totally. The dd was done using the rescue disk from 4.9-RELEASE (to avoid GEOM). I can actually start vinum and mount the RAID-0 array with no trouble (Vinum reports no errors I can see). Since I wrote this I posted a reply stating that whatever files I try and open (mostly my personal video collection), gstat reports no activity from ad3 -- the replaced disk. A lot of the indexes from the AVIs are dead. I don't really know how I can test the integrity of files from the replaced disk... A good start would be to read the documentation at http://www.vinumvm.org/. Unresolved bugs, 27 Feb 2000. -- this doesn't seem to have applied. When I started vinum (I previously ran dumpconfig) with create -f myconfig my data plex (comprised 2*120GB and the replaced 100GB) was listed as up. At this point I tried the fsck with an error about invalid superblocks, so I restored those on /dev/vinum/data with tunefs -A. fsck then failed with the ``cannot alloc 4316869296 bytes for inphead'' error. I've read the replacing a failed Vinum drive a couple of times now but I still don't quite understand it. Does this apply to RAID-0? Surely I can't revive a concatenated array? I assume this must only apply to RAID-1 and RAID-5 (and maybe some of the others in between I know nothing about). Reading more about debugging vinum I found this oddity (maybe it isn't, since it's actually before the config): [EMAIL PROTECTED] root state upvinumdrive0: -- ad1.config --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] root state upvinumdrive1: -- ad2.config diff on ad2.config and ad3.config instead gives: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root state upvinumdrive1: -- ad2.config --- IN VINOpurple.lewiz.orgvinumdrive2?;[EMAIL PROTECTED] root state up ^-- ad3.config There are a few extra chars different after the vinumdrive line, from those in ad1 and ad2. This probably isn't anything? I've stopped short of compiling vinum with debugging options (this was under kernel panics, which I'm not having). I'll go ahead and do this though if it can provide any more info. There is nothing of any value in /var/log/vinum_history (but I've cp'd it to http://www2.cs.man.ac.uk/~thompsl3/vinum_history just in case). If you look at this file you can see I messed with create -f a lot. This was because the old disk didn't seem to like storing the on-disk configuration. The new disk seems to do this. worked fine. However (and this is my real problem), fsck_ufs /dev/vinum/data gives the following message: ** /dev/vinum/data cannot alloc 4316869296 bytes for inphead * FILE SYSTEM STILL DIRTY * Possibly there are log messages that go with this message.

Re: Vinum
Hi, I might be lying to you with my answers.

When i have a vinum volume on a drive which contains the file system /usr, which is being mirrored to another volume on another drive, are the contents of /usr encompassed in the volume (like a partition) or is /usr is generally partition e on the slice (at least it is on my machine). This means you can set up two Vinum drives using, for example, ad0s1e. That way you will be able to mount either disk. However, that's not really useful. You really want to be mounting /dev/vinum/usr (if that's what you called your volume). This way Vinum will handle the synchronization for you.

If somebody needs meaningful numbers please ask me and I will go over and double-check everything. I have tried the obvious things -- removing other PCI devices, etc. I was unable to disable the onboard IDE controller because this card doesn't seem to support booting. The twist is this: there is no panic if I boot 4.9-rc4 (disk1, install) or 5.1-RELEASE (disk1, install). It is specific to 5.2.1-p5 (or at least between 5.1-R and this). I verified this with a GENERIC kernel (compiled by me) and a custom kernel (unneeded devices removed and some firewall stuff added). Please ask for any details -- I've not included a dmesg since it would be of the machine without the card plugged in. I can provide anything (but I've not used kernel debugging before).

Jail FS questions.
Hi, I currently have a bunch of jails running on my FreeBSD box. I've done this by making installworld a number of times, each time with a different DESTDIR (say /jail1, /jail2, /jail3). Clearly this is using a significant amount of space on the machine. I've been reading about unionfs and nullfs (well, more skim reading really; I'm not FS guru, which is why I'm asking here) and one of these sounds like it could be the idea solution. At first glance I'd say that unionfs would be the way to go. My question about unionfs: if I use this as a base dir for all of my jails and decide to ``upgrade'' the base system will it actually work? I mean, when I start installing stuff through the ports does it ever modify the base system in any way? If it does, then surely a base system upgrade will appear to leave the old ports-created files (because the upper layer changes override the lower unionfs fs). Secondly, I don't really understand nullfs. Would this be a ``better'' solution than using unionfs? Maybe it isn't even a solution, but if it is, a pointer to some useful articles would be great (aside man mount_nullfs; I've read that but don't fully understand).

Re: mouse with scroll....

There was a also a thread recently on this mailing list concerning moused not working with scrolling. If you follow the tutorial and try it first without using moused (i.e. by having the physical device (say psm0) in your XF86Config file). If that works you could try and get it to go with moused -- it doesn't work for me though. Also, ignore pretty much all of the imwheel stuff -- that's now mostly built into XFree86-4, afaik.

Thanks, I did try this but it didn't seem to help :( I'm sure it's some Mozilla-specific issue I just can't find out what!
