Hmmm, here is test with iperf what I have done with and

without polling:

This is when I use Device polling option on m0n0.

If I disable this option then my transfer is worse:

You probably want apache2_enable=YES and apache2ssl_enable=YES

With the apache22 port, this has become somewhat easier, by including

Hi!

I have configured mail server on FreeBSD 5.4 with sendmail 8.13.5 and
cyrus-imapd v2. I am also using client Mulberry (but also tested with
Tbird, Outlook Express, Outlook). I use IMAP access with all the
clients, the server is on the same network as clients (100 Mbit
network). The issue is when I try to send several messages one after
another I get smtp delay message and this sometimes takes for 30 sec to
a minute. My sendmail has configured a smart host and also to accept
unqualified domains.
I have attached my sendmail config.
What am I missing here?


30s delays sounds like DNS timeouts.  Check that the host running sendmail
can do a reverse lookup on the IP number of the clients connecting to it.
Simply putting IPs and hostnames of all your client boxes into /etc/hosts
should fix the problem.


It is allready able to do a reverse lookup on clients.



Alternatively, that delay could be due to the ident protocol.  Ident is
trivially easy to spoof which makes it a pointless waste of time.
Putting:

define(`confTO_IDENT', `0')dnl

in your .mc file will stop ident getting in your hair.



This is allready defined also.


The third possibility is that you've got quite a few milters set up there
and sendmail simply needs a bit of time to run each message through all of
them.

Cheers,

Matthew


Will try without milters but there are only two milters sendmail and clamav.

But is this possible also to be an imap issue since I use it to read my 
mail and also to store all outgoing mail?

 I've found a few articles on google and google-groups regarding this,

 appears to be the same problem however...  So, I guess now my question
 is, does anybody have any great ideas for getting around this?  I was

 how I would do it, but it seems to be the best option i've been able
 to think of...

 Thanks for the help!

From what I've read their is a 2GB limit per file on ISO9660 file
systems. It seems as though Linux 'worked around' this limit thus
forcing you into this problem.

dd will not work for you. the only easy workaround is to mount the DVD
on a Linux box and then copy the file over the network to the FreeBSD
box, or make a new DVD. In the future make sure the files you burn to
disc are less then 2GB.

dd is for disk image stuff to see what it does and how it works read
up on mdconfig and mdmfs (man pages). you want to make file backed
(vnode) memory disks to use for playing with dd...
http://www.crazytrain.com/dd.html Also grab some floppy, hdd, or even
cd image files to play.

 The only thing it doesnt do is create symbolic links which does not mark

That was a typo, read the followup I sent immediately following the first

IMAP is not usually involved in /sending/ e-mail.  I suggest you try turning
up the sendmail logging verbosity and see if you can correlate when the delays
occur with what sendmail is logging.  To turn up sendmail logging verbosity,
add:

   -O LogLevel=14

Re: Running qmail

2005-12-19 Thread Gojyo
Hi,
it seems that I have a issue with qmail itself.
Now I'm trying running it without daemontools (I can configure them later,
and, as Svein Halvor said, qmail should run as well without).
Now, /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail links correctly to /var/qmail/rc, which is a
copy of /var/qmail/boot/maildir.
At boot, the script is executed, and ps -A|grep qmail returns me this:

485 con- I  0:00.04 qmail-send
  501 con- I  0:00.01 splogger qmail
  502 con- I  0:00.01 qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/
  503 con- I  0:00.01 qmail-rspawn
  504 con- I  0:00.01 qmail-clean
  606  p0  S+ 0:00.01 grep qmail

However, no service is listening on port 25, as sockstat -4l tells me.
I've tryed using the others /var/qmail/boot scripts, but it's the same.

Talking about logs, the messages log shows me nothing related, while
maiilog prints this line when I start the script:
1134993056.844518 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20

trying to telnetl localhost on port 25 refuses the connection.
I think is a qmail related problem (and not, say, firewall related), since I
have other services running whithout problems, like Samba and OpenSSH.
Any idea?
Thanks again!

FreeBSD, CVS and NetApp

2005-12-19 Thread Scott Mitchell
Hi all,

Does anyone out there have recent experience with running a CVS server on
FreeBSD, with the repository files NFS-mounted off a NetApp filer?  When I
say server I mean this would be a machine offering CVS access over ssh
or pserver - it would be the only machine accessing the repository files on
the NFS server, all clients would talk to the CVS server.

There are a lot of reports of CVS file corruption when using an NFS-mounted
repository.  These all seem to boil down to we don't really know why it
happens, but it seems to be interoperability problems between NFS client
and server implementations.  There are more reports of problems when
clients access the repository directly, but it seems to still happen when
only one server machine is touching the NFS volume.  So I'm looking for
reports (good or bad) of these kinds of setup with specific FreeBSD and
NetApp versions...

Many thanks in advance,

Scott

ports security branch

2005-12-19 Thread rihad
Is there a security branch for the FreeBSD ports collection?  Let's say, 
I installed FreeBSD 6.0 together with all needed -RELEASE 
ports/packages. Running security/portaudit after a while reveals that 
some of the installed packages have vulnerabilities. Am I on my own to 
go grab the fresh ports tree, and upgrade the affected software, 
suffering all the intricacies of the move by myself? Debian GNU/Linux 
has its security package updates, OpenBSD has a separately maintained 
errata ports branch (you still get to download a newer release of the 
software, though (IIRC)).

Yes, although sysutils/portmanager can be of some help when upgrading your

 Hi,
 it seems that I have a issue with qmail itself.
 Now I'm trying running it without daemontools (I can configure them later,
 and, as Svein Halvor said, qmail should run as well without).
 Now, /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail links correctly to /var/qmail/rc, which is a
 copy of /var/qmail/boot/maildir.
 At boot, the script is executed, and ps -A|grep qmail returns me this:

   606  p0  S+ 0:00.01 grep qmail

 However, no service is listening on port 25, as sockstat -4l tells me.
 I've tryed using the others /var/qmail/boot scripts, but it's the same.

That's because qmail-smtpd hasn't started.

You have to do that separately from qmail-lspawn and qmail-rspawn.

 That was a typo, read the followup I sent immediately following the

 Users should not have to move things that were installed in the wrong

You were very quick with your correction of the typo. Faster than some
of us read their mails ;-)
Secondly, I totally agree to the statement that the port is broken
You have too much to manually correct.
At the time I was not aware of the facts and lost quite some time
finding out. If you know, it's not that kind of a deal.

Video / Audio Capture Framework in FreeBSD ?

2005-12-19 Thread Roshan
Hello list.
Does anyone know if there will be a Video / Audio capture framework
that will be part of FreeBSD in the next few years ?
I currently use the bktr device for image capture, but it would be
nice if there was some kind of interface that would permit me to
capture from  a broader kind of video devices. On Linux they have v4l
( video for linux ) that does exactly that, but i don't think it will
be ported to *BSD due to licensing issues. I came across bsdav in the
ports tree, but it seems to be broken. I am also curious as to what
kind of capture methods/framework other image/signal processing people
use under FreeBSD.
Thanks
Roshan.

On your own, but not in the sense you may think.  If you cvsup your ports 
(I do it nightly for all my servers), then you can simply run portupgrade 
and all the affected ports will be upgraded (assuming you use the right 
switches - I use -ai because I want to be able to decline to upgrade a port 
if it's going to affect a lot of people and then schedule it for later that 
same day or the next.)


I'm not sure what you mean by suffering all the intricacies.  Cvsup will 
fetch all the ports that have updates (assuming you use the right config - 
man is your friend), so you really don't have to do much except launch 
cvsup (if you haven't already scheduled it routinely) and then launch 
portupgrade once cvsup is done.


When I set up a new server, one of the first things I do, before installing 
any applications, is run cvsup to update everything.  Then I setup cvsup to 
run nightly, and only then to I begin installing whatever applications that 
particular server might need.

I do a very similar thing only I don't cvsup/portupgrade frequently, 
I portaudit frequently and then cvsup/portupgrade on demand. This 
way is somewhat less intrusive, as there are frequently port version 
bumps available that are not security related and certainly not 
required for continuity of service.


When first getting used to this stuff I thought it moderately 
burdensome compared to automatic binary updates, but I quickly came 
to understand the value of being able to choose exactly what, how 
and when to upgrade. All regrets soon faded.


Intricacies and suffering? Sometimes yes, but not that frequently, 
and it's worth it.

AFAIK HP's integration tool is HP OpenView, whether you want to use that
is up to you. Opinions on it's quality vary.



But for the SSH bit of iLO, I just logged into one of our servers.
It has an SSH interface. The iLO command line is a bit odd, but usable.

So remotely power cycling or marking a server from a Unix box is doable.
IIRC you can even load your own key file via the web interface and
henceforth log in automagically without interactively entering a password.

System lockup building 6.0 RELEASE SMP-GENERIC kernel

2005-12-19 Thread DH
Hello All; 

I'm trying to compile the SMP-GENERIC 6.0 Kernel and my system completely locks 
up (requires a hard reset) at different points in the compilation process. 

The system is built around a Super Micro P3TDLE MOBO dual p3-1Ghz - 512 MB 
Regesitered ECC ram box. Bios is the most recent. 

HD Config - 3 SCSI U320 drives - RAID5 on an Adaptec 2130SLP RAID Controller. 

Secondary Drives - 1 SCSI CD Rom  1 SCSI Tape Drive connected to an Adaptec 
29160 SCSI controller. 

NIC(s) Intel Pro 1000 Gigabit Ethernet  an intengrated 10/100 Ethernet 
adapter. 

I've tried disabling ACPI , the integrated NIC, and IDE controller. I've also 
removed the Gigabit NIC, the secondary SCSI controller, and tried only using 
one P3 CPU indstead of both. 

I've run 2 different memory testers against the DRAM and both came back clean. 

I CAN compile a plain GENERIC kernel. But if I try to compile the SMP GENERIC 
kernel: 

cd /usr/src 
make buildkernel KERNCONF=SMP 

it locks up tighter than a Nun on Sunday ( no offense intended ; ).
   
   
  CVSup'ing  buildworld but that also locks up the box.
   
   
  SoftUpdates have been turned off.



As you can see from the enclosed dmesg I get a whole slew of ACPI errors - 
that's the only hint I have ( before starting the build ) that there's a 
problem. 

From what I've seen via googling people tend to ignore the ACPI errors or talk 
about interrupt storms but I've not seen anybody post a solution to to these 
issues. 

The MD5 of the iso downloads checked out fine. 

Did I miss something? Have I zigged when I should've zagged? 

I can't go to the 4.x series due to the need to run SAMBA 3x on this box. 

Is it worth trying NetBSD or OpenBSD or do they share too much of the same 
code? 

Any suggestions are greatly appriciated - thanks in advance. Please CC this 
e-mail address, I'm not a member of this discussion group.

upgrade then no ports

2005-12-19 Thread steve lasiter
I have Freebsd 5.4 on all my servers. It had been a
while since the initial load so I decided to upgrade
all source code via cvsup and then ran make
buildworld, make buildkernel, make installkernel.

After all was said and done everything booted fine and
all was working well. When I went to install a new
port I noticed that all my ports were gone. All that
is in my /usr/ports/ directory are the directories
distfiles, and dns and a INDEX-5 file. I ran my
ports-supfile for all-ports and it appeared to be
installing but when it's done the /usr/ports/
directory is unchanged. When I went to install through
sysinstall evey ftp site gives me this:

Warning: Can't find the '5.4-RELEASE-p8' distribution
on this FTP server. 

I still consider myself a Freebsd newbie and feel I've
probably  missed something simple but I have had no
luck searching the net or bsd site. 

Thanks in advance,

usb psx-pc joypad adapter

2005-12-19 Thread Kep Woof
hi guys,

i've got a usb joystick working ok, but i wanted to try with a
playstation controller and usb adapter.  the adapter has two ports,
and a single usb connector.  when i plug it into my 6.0-STABLE
thinkpad i get this in dmesg:

uhid0: vendor 0x0b43 product 0x0003, rev 1.00/19.12, addr 2, iclass 3/0
uhid0: no report descriptor
device_attach: uhid0 attach returned 6

as opposed to this on the detected joystick:

uhid0: MOSIC USB 2A4K  GamePad, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2, iclass 3/0

so, wondered if there was anything i could try to get this working? 
if not, does anyone know if the single port versions of these adapters
are supported under freebsd? i want to use it with e-uae, zsnes and
xmame.

finally, i noticed epsxe in ports, a psx emulator.  is anyone running
this, and is it useable?  what kind of setups do people have?

thanks guys,

merry crimbo..

Re: How to safty unplug a USB Stick

Besides umount, to keep the FS consistant, I belive it would be necessary to
actually turn off the USB stick before you remove it. With Windows and Linux
there is also a way to safety remove -power off-  a USB stick.

 If not, I am interested in the solution cause I only mount/unmount my

Re: extended/logical slices

2005-12-19 Thread Dieter
 FreeBSD 6 seems to recognize logical slices in extended ones. The
 appropriate entries /dev/ad0sN appear. At least this works with
 logical slices that contain VFAT or ext2fs.
 Just 'fdisk' doesn't list the logical slices. Is there a tool that
 can list these?

NetBSD's fdisk can.

Fine-tuning access

2005-12-19 Thread Daniel A.
Lately, I've been having an itch to get something cleared up.
I give out free SSH shell accounts to people I know and to people that
I dont know so well, but ask for it. The basic idea is that they get
an account on a FreeBSD server that has lots of disk space, a descent
CPU, but not such a great internet connection (Sadly).

As the happy giver that I am, I also want to provide my users with
web-hosting features.
Mostly everyone knows that some user will at some point want to set up
some kind of PHP+MySQL based web-service, like a bulletin board or a
blog.
When doing so, they need to enter their password and username to the
MySQL server in a config file. For apache running as the www user to
read this, the file has to be quite insecurely chmodded.

I've thought a possible solution for this:
Adding the www user to all my users groups, thus enabling the www user
to read all files chmodded with read permissions for group.
Are there any drawbacks of this solution?
Is there a better solution that I'm not familiar with?

Thanks in advance.

I assume lang/php4-extensions is installed?  What if you use a
comparable command on that target?

Incidentally:  as you probably know, several of the packages
listed (e.g. squirrelmail, phpwiki, gallery, etc.) are independent
of your PHP version and would only be upgraded if newer
versions have been released, AFAIK.

I have no idea who fontconfig exists, but it sounds like you
need to reinstall.

I assume lang/php4-extensions is installed?  What if you use a
comparable command on that target?

Incidentally:  as you probably know, several of the packages
listed (e.g. squirrelmail, phpwiki, gallery, etc.) are independent
of your PHP version and would only be upgraded if newer
versions have been released, AFAIK.

I think at this point, I'll probably leave well enough.  From what  
I've seen, I'm probably not going to be gaining much by upgrading.

would start by making sure your ports are up to date and reinstalling 
linux-fontconfig. If that doesn't work portupgrade -rf linux-realplayer and 
it will rebuild everything that depends on it. Also do a pkgdb -F to make 
sure your dependency database is OK. I didn't have any config problems with 
fontconfig, and didn't have to tweak anything. Sounds like something else is

 Moreover, I have no interest in learning XML, then cutting and pasting
 various config files together out of what little documentation exists
 for fontconfig.  The documentation is so poor that I have no idea what

 It is very frustrating.  I concur that some of these programs are just

 Thank you Beecher.

 I did a recursive portupgrade and it works now.  Hurray!

 Rob.

You're welcome. I always upgrade anything linux recursively. Since most of the 
apps are packages you sometimes end up with either bad or wrong lib links if 
you don't.

ports security branch

2005-12-19 Thread rihad

Is there a security branch for the FreeBSD ports collection? Let's say,
I installed FreeBSD 6.0 together with all needed -RELEASE ports/packages
(i.e., those on the CD). Running security/portaudit after a while 
reveals that some of the installed packages have vulnerabilities. Am I
on my own to go grab the fresh ports tree, and upgrade the affected 
software, suffering all the intricacies of the move by myself? Debian

GNU/Linux has its security package updates, OpenBSD has a separately
maintained errata ports branch (it's very likely you still get to
download a newer release of the software, though).

Sorry if this is a bit OT. I've already asked this on freebsd-questions@ 
but they told me there's no such thing at all.

getting an old server up to scratch...

2005-12-19 Thread Jeff D. Hamann
I've been trying to build a new server and I've gotten to stage where I can 
start moving some of the data over from the old server. In the process I've 
decided to move my version control software from cvs to svn and have been 
using svn nicely now for some time. My old machine is a FreeBSD 4.4 machine 
and the ports trees simply doesn't work anymore. I only get:


stimpy# cd /usr/ports/devel/cvs2svn
stimpy# make install
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 4942: Malformed conditional 
(defined(USE_RCORDER) || defined(USE_RC_SUBR)  ${USE_RC_SUBR:U} != YES)
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 4952: Malformed conditional 
(defined(USE_RC_SUBR)  ${USE_RC_SUBR:U} != YES)

/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 4963: if-less endif
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 4963: Need an operator

/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, line 5272: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
stimpy#

for practically every port these days. I've tried installing from source and 
I need to upgrade python (which doesn't work using portupgrade either). I 
see it isn't possible to use cvs2svn on the new machine were I get to pass 
in the cvs path as :pserver:/blah,blah,blah... and I can't make a dump file 
on the old machine...


now what?

For svn users, is there a way to dump the cvs repos without using cvs2svn?

and for FreeBSD users,

Is it possible to get the port working or should I just move on and lick my 
wounds?


Thanks,
Jeff.

Re: unmounting USB key (sorry, lost the original title)

Hi,

I can't remember who posted that and I removed my emails from server.

I try to eject my USB key using cmacontrol and I got this:

# camcontrol devlist
Corsair Flash Voyager 1.00 at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass0)
# camcontrol eject 1:0:0
Unit stopped successfully, Media ejected
#camcontrol devlist

You see, it seems to be successfully stopped but I still have it by asking the
devlist the moment after.

Don't know how to help more than that, sorry :)

Regards, Ivan.

little P.S: for those who are saying FreeBSD is not ready and the penguin, and
M$, etc, etc, Mike is right, let's see what we could have with just a hundredth
of M$ money. If you come to FreeBSD then you may want to discover and search
many new things by yourself. Help the project, give your time, share your
knowledge. I am not a programmer, so I translate the handbook. And from day to
day, it will be more accessible.
But I am not sure this is the place for pessimism. Also note that almost all
questions asked here get their solution in less than 24 hours.
