Have you tried another ftp server?
I have found that my local server ftp.no.freebsd.org at times totally 
messes up my system by using portupgrade, while the server at 
ftp.dk.freebsd.org normally gives me good service..

Multiple NICS with IPNAT and IPF

[Shawn Dillon]

I need some help.

I have a freebsd 5.0 box running IPNAT and IPF as a firewall. I currently have five 
static IPS with my ISP. With my ISP I must register the MAC address of the adapter to 
obtain an IP. Thus I have a FreeBSD box with six nics in it ( all 3c905C).

The basic config is as follows:


*
*   *
*   Internet*
**
|
|
|
3Com DSL Bridge
|
|
|
3Com 10MB Office Connect Hub
|   |   |   |   |
|   |   |   |   |
|   |   |   |   |
|   |   |   |   |
|   |   |   |   |
xl1 xl2 xl3 xl4 xl5

*   *
*   FreeBSD 5.0 IPNAT/IPFW  *
*
|
|
|
xl0
|
|
3Com 3300 XM Switch

I can get one external NIC up and running. But when I get a second one up and running 
I get a kernel message stating
that the second NIC (xl2) is trying to use the same IP as XL1. They are set to 
different IP's in the rc.conf. I assume that this is because they can see each other 
on the hub that splits the 3Com bridge out. 

Is there any arguments or settings that I could use to resolve this? An ipconfig 
setting? Or even a kernel option. I would recompile the kernel in a second if it would 
help.

You can assume that xl1 has an ip of 142.179.196.134 and xl2 has an ip of 
142.179.196.135 both with a subnet of 255.255.248.0.


Thanks in advance

[newbie] pkg_fetch fails to fetch files

[Andy Park]

I'm trying to run 'portupgrade' to update my part of my package tree. 
(FreeBSD 4.7 off the mini-ISO)

'pkg_fetch', which is used by 'portupgrade', keeps looking for packages 
in the wrong path; "ftp://ftp.uk.mirror.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/All"; 
instead of ".../pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/All".

And this is despite I've set my environment variable correctly by:

setenv PKG_SITES "ftp://ftp.uk.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages";

So am I doing something wrong?

LyX-1.3.0 on FreeBSD

[Marco Beishuizen]

Hi,

I was just wondering if there is someone who has succesfully
installed LyX-1.3.0 on FreeBSD. On my machine running 4.7-RELEASE
LyX doesn't compile.

YEAY!!  (No thanks to those deceptive, colon-hating or colon-seeking error

They're all off except for ng_pppoe.ko and netgraph.ko according to the
output from "kldstat."  Do they run faster "compiled" into the kernel?

I don't know what I'm asking exactly.  Can I safely change these to NO?

That weird tun0, tun1, tun2 problem has since ceased.  I like the ifconfig
command but couldn't get `ifconfig xl0 destroy` to work (kept getting a
compile sort of error, lemme see...

ifconfig: SIOCIFDESTROY: Invalid argument

There it is, yeah.  And I am mildly confused about if there are any dangers
with killing the ppp process, or running ppp to get into interactive mode
and trying to use the "close" command or, once again, does any of this
matter?

Now it's time for me to read up on natd, ipfw etc etc and most important of
all, learn how to install just one port at a time rather than
/stand/sysinstall then getting src-all and ports-all then portupgrade then
cvsup then make install clean  there's gotta be a command above
"pkg_add -r" but below "cvsup" and having extraneous ports in my tree!!

Tarballs are so under-rated, as are mechanisms for getting dependent libs!

:(

Can I run my own Dynamic DNS server for private use ??

[jdroflet]

I have a static IP and a number of remotes with Cable or ADSL access. 
Remotes have FreeBSD, or router firewalls ala Linksys, Netgears.

To make support/access easier can I set up my own Dynamic DNS server on
the static address and have those remotes register their IP's with it
when they change ?
Thanks in Advance -Jay.

CODA 5.3.20 compilation under FreeBSD 5 (stat structure problem)

[Tak Pui LOU]

Greetings All,

I am trying to compile CODA 5.3.20 on FreeBSD Release 5. The compilation
stopped when it tries to compile coda-5.3.20/coda-src/venus/vproc.cc in
which VattrToStat (line 787) try to do the following:

sp->st_qspare[0] = 0;
sp->st_qspare[1] = 0;

And, I look into the stat.h in FBSD 5, the struct of stat has changed and
it no longer has st_qspare in it.

What can I do to get around with this?

Thanks,
---

I don't run sendmail at all, but I would like to learn how to apply the patch.  
doing:  patch -p0 < /home/tim/sendmail.8.12.security.cr.patch  in the above

I will give two suggestions.
Is the power supply to your firm/house whatever "clean" ?
Computers don't like dirty power, that is power prone to what I think
experts call grey-outs. They don't like spikes either, momentary
increases in voltage. Do you live in an area prone to thunderstorms?

You can get devices to protect against somne of these things.

My second suggestion is going to sound really weird.
My FreeBSD system disappears into the boonies when I have a screen saver
enabled. That is xscreevsaver. Given enough time, and enough core dumps.
it crashes my system as sure as eggs is eggs. I kind of proved this by
leaving the systen running for days with and without screen saver.
It boonied with the screen saver, it did not wihout.

A few questons. Power supply ? Do you have SCSI disks ? They eat
electricity like it is going out of fashion.

Heat, is the server overheating ?
If you have a modern BIOS it can tell you what the temperature is.
You need to watch what the CPU temp is, because the reaction to over
heating is reboot.

Good luck.

Yup, you are out of swap space.

Fix: add more RAM or swap space.

As to why this is happening.probably because you have to many
processes running. Do 'ps aux' and check the %MEM column for memory pigs..

Workaround: drop to single-user mode and try buildworld again.

You'll need to encode it into some format to stream them.  You can
probably whip up a cgi that given cd# and track#, launches cdda2wav
that pipes its output to lame, which then writes its mp3 to stdout and
to the browser.  cdda2wav has cddb hooks, so you can probably use it to
generate your selection list on the fly as well.

You are on the right track, but, i'm more interested in NOT dealing with
Mp3s. I want to be able to, say, load a 7 cdrom tower (nothing but scsci
cdroms, all chained, with an external scsi port) with cds, then play direct

Not exactly what you're asking, but mod_mp3 works very well.

"This turns apache into your basic RIAA hating, but every college
student loving mp3 streaming server. It can play from a list of
files, either straight through or randomly. It can also be used
to cache mp3's into memory and have the server operate entirely
from memory. Enjoy, groove, mp3s not included."


Specifically, what you'd have to do is convert your CD collection to MP3,
and then you could set up as many streams as you wanted, and players like
winamp/xmms could then listen to those streams.

Conversion to mp3 would be a slight hassle, but it would allow you to keep
more than one cd on the system at a time, so it's a tradeoff.

mod_mp3 is in the ports.

is there an app that would allow me to play CDs on my BSD box and have that

sort of thing. Here's what i've got:

No.  You can't exhaustively test the hardware using software.  You can
only test some things: what you have shown is that none of the things
that burn* does cause your system to reboot.  The only way you can
rule out hardware failure completely is to replace it component by
component and see if the problem persists.

Your problems certainly sound like failing hardware.  The archives are
littered with examples of people who swore black and blue that failing
hardware could not possibly be the cause of their mysterious reboots,
until they found the failing hardware and replaced it :-) Check and
swap out/replace RAM, power supply, CPU fan, cabling, CPU etc.

Portupgrade .. yet again

[Cliff Sarginson]

At the risk of being boring..

Portupgrade works fine for some people, less than fine for others.
Now I read the docs, the very patient advice given by people on the
list.
I have a very ordinary FreeBSD system.
Portupgrade trashed my KDE installation.
Trashed with a big T.
Now, I can fix this, 'cos this mama knows about computers.
Now I have experience, updating systems is almost always a ball-breaker.
So encouraged I tried out portupgrade.

problem 1... no way was it having -a ..didn't know how to make..
problem 2.. -R/r .. wow you hit the jackpot with that, it rebuilds
things you have never even heard of
problem 3.. mm, this one foxed me, trying to find things in
/usr/local/lib/.libs
problem 4 .. I don't use Gnome, I hate it, errmm portupgrade update it
for me..oh yes..
Problem 5 .. now I tried to update things individually. By name.
Well lo and gehold, and bless my cotton socks, portupgrade decided to
update all sorts of things, mutt, postfix, stuff I never even breathed
at.

Btw Mike, the reason you were getting my intranet addresses was because
portupgrade replaced my Muttrc file.
 

Now before the flames start, I am willimg to try and re-write
portupgrade. In "C".
It is a complex job, if anyone wants to help email me off list.

One possible fix, if you are amenable to recreating the partitions and
retransferring the data, is to use sysinstall to create the partitions
as follows:

create your root partition and fib and tell sysinstall that the mount
point is / (root).  sysinstall will assign it to the a partition.  Then
press M to change the mount point and change it to, for example, /mnt.
This assumes you would be mounting your new disk's file systems under
/mnt as say, /mnt for root, /mnt/var, /mnt/usr, etc.

This avoids the problem in the first place, but in your case it would
require that you go back and start over with the process of moving data 
from your old disk to the new disk.

I just wanted to get this into the archives to help future travellers
avoid this pothole.

USB 2.0 is not supported at all yet in FreeBSD as far as I last heard, so if

any reason you need to put a new disklabel on it?  Why not just try mounting

The USB standard is a large, difficult and fairly buggy standard and its 
implementation in hardware is usually pretty buggy too.  Read through the 
-current mailing list where they've discussed much of the hardware issues 
with USB.  If the hardware maker does not release enough documentation it can 
be impossible for somebody to write a FreeBSD driver for it.  It takes much 
more work to write a driver when the device maker gives partial info for it 
than for MS who gets all of the detailed specs.
So when you're getting free hardware support, be careful you're not 
complaining.
You may want to try -current if you're willing to accept all that goes with 
that (reading the Handbook, following the mailing list, etc).  That is where 
the newest USB code goes in.

What kind of  version that orinoco's firmware  can support

wi man page says:

but the source code says:

ic->ic_flags |= IEEE80211_F_HASIBSS;

so I'd guess why 6.0.6 is the oldest version that will support IBSS

I tried this as well.  Unfortunately, removing the
EISA device did nothing to relieve the problem with
the NMI.  The only thing that cleared it up was adding
'hw.pci.enable_io_modes=0' in /boot/device.hints.

This was the case, at least, with 5.0-RELEASE.  I've
yet to see what happens with -CURRENT.  Perhaps I'll
try and cvsup -CURRENT, remove
'hw.pci.enable_io_modes=0', and see what happens.

I pulled these two drives from a WinXP machine, and
based on the transfer method reported in XP, it was
using DMA.  No stability issues were noted, at least
in regard to XP.  I've been running them under 5.0 now
for a few days, burned a few CD's and played a few
DVD's without stability issues either -- thankfully.

I'll check out the above referenced manual page and
make the suggested changes.  Thank you for the tip.

[About permanently disabling the integrated video]

Unfortunately, no.  I've even contacted Dell regarding
this as I could find no information in the
documentation provided with the system.  They simply
stated that when another video card is installed, the
integrated video is disabled.  They also mentioned
that this type of configuration "is not supported." 
I've looked for jumpers on the motherboard itself and
only found jumpers for clearing the BIOS password...
nothing else.
 
Thank you once again, Scott, for your help.  It was
very much appreciated.

Good day,

After spending quite some time trying to get
5.0-RELEASE installed on a Dell PowerEdge machine, it
seems that all is now working quite well.  Being that
these machines are somewhat common, I'll share what
was halting my installation.
What model?  There are quite a few PowerEdges out there.  I
installed 5.0 (actually, I built the official 5.0 release)
on a PowerEdge.
These machines come with integrated video, an ATI
RageXL, which is rather useless for anything other
than console mode. I installed an ATI All- In-Wonder
VE so that I could get somewhat decent performance out
of X. The problem manifested when the kernel probed
the machines hardware, causing an "NMI ISA 30, EISA
ff", and locking up the machine solid. After I began
pulling memory and expansion cards from the system,
the error went away when I removed the ATI AIW card. I
reinstalled the card and attempted to find how to
correct this. My only solution to this issue was to
interrupt the boot process and use the following
command:
set hw.pci.enable_io_modes = 0

This prevented any further halts.
As a wild guess, what happenes when you remove the EISA
device from the kernel?
My first question is as follows: is /boot/device.hints
the most proper place to stick this? Also, are there
any other possible solutions to this issue?
/boot/loader.conf is the best place for this.

My main drives are SCSI, and I have one CD-RW and one
DVD-R on the secondary IDE controller. The kernel
detects the drives just fine, but defaults them both
down to PIO4. The drives are fully UDMA2 capable. I am
able to set the drives to use UDMA2 via atacontrol
without issue.  However, how would one make this more
permanent, such that I wouldn't have to use atacontrol
everytime I boot the machine?
There have been problems in the past with ATAPI/IDE drives
that claim DMA capabilities but instead corrupt data and/or
cause panics.  Forcing everything to PIO is the easiest way
to achieve maximum compatibility.  The ata manual page
describes what to put into /boot/loader.conf to force them
back using DMA.
Back to the topic of video; is there _any_ way to
permanently disable, or at least prevent FreeBSD from
detecting the integrated video on the motherboard?
There is nothing in the machines BIOS that would allow
this. This would just be "nice" to do, as X works just
fine, but it still sticks an entry into the
XFree86Config file for the integrated chip.
Does the motherboard have a jumper that will disable it?

And finally...

Where can one obtain a complete list of allowed hints
for use in /boot/device.hints? I tried searching
around the FBSD site as well as the handbook and found
no listing, other than a line here and a line there.
This has been desired for a long time, yes.  There have
been periodic pushes to do this, but they quickly loose
steam or become outdated.

Let us straighten a few things out here, the perpetuation of this kind of
nonsense puts us back in the dark Lord of Redmond world.

A language is a language. Ok GCC has groovy extras to allow FreeBSD and
Linux to compile.  
I expect that "Hello. world" will compile   
link and run .. yes ?
Does it matter very much what CPU I have, how much memory etc..?
Linking, Now we have another story.
It is quite educational to find thet KDE has a dependency on a game
program ;) Yup it sure does.
I know people put in precious spare time to just about the best OS on
the planet.
But "portupgrade" just does not hack it.
Ok. End of story. Otherwise I will get banned again by the inner corpus.

It's a PostScript printer, so you shouldn't need ghostscript.  I can't
help you with CUPS, never tried it.  Good old ordinary printcap entries
work fine:

lpraw:\
:lp=:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=laser:\
:rp=raw:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/lpraw:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

After creating the spool directory (sd=) and entering an IP address for
"laser" in /etc/hosts, this works fine.  This is just for sending raw
PostScript output, of course.  The queue name is lpraw, so you'd print
to it with

# lpr -Plpraw postscriptfile.ps

My lp queue runs through a little Perl program that detects PostScript
and passes it through.  Text is formatted with enscript and then
printed.  I can post the whole setup if you'd like.

A few 5.0-Release questions...

[John Wilson]

Good day,

After spending quite some time trying to get
5.0-RELEASE installed on a Dell PowerEdge machine, it
seems that all is now working quite well.  Being that
these machines are somewhat common, I'll share what
was halting my installation.

These machines come with integrated video, an ATI
RageXL, which is rather useless for anything other
than console mode. I installed an ATI All- In-Wonder
VE so that I could get somewhat decent performance out
of X. The problem manifested when the kernel probed
the machines hardware, causing an "NMI ISA 30, EISA
ff", and locking up the machine solid. After I began
pulling memory and expansion cards from the system,
the error went away when I removed the ATI AIW card. I
reinstalled the card and attempted to find how to
correct this. My only solution to this issue was to
interrupt the boot process and use the following
command:

set hw.pci.enable_io_modes = 0

This prevented any further halts.

My first question is as follows: is /boot/device.hints
the most proper place to stick this? Also, are there
any other possible solutions to this issue?

My main drives are SCSI, and I have one CD-RW and one
DVD-R on the secondary IDE controller. The kernel
detects the drives just fine, but defaults them both
down to PIO4. The drives are fully UDMA2 capable. I am
able to set the drives to use UDMA2 via atacontrol
without issue.  However, how would one make this more
permanent, such that I wouldn't have to use atacontrol
everytime I boot the machine?

Back to the topic of video; is there _any_ way to
permanently disable, or at least prevent FreeBSD from
detecting the integrated video on the motherboard?
There is nothing in the machines BIOS that would allow
this. This would just be "nice" to do, as X works just
fine, but it still sticks an entry into the
XFree86Config file for the integrated chip.

And finally...

Where can one obtain a complete list of allowed hints
for use in /boot/device.hints? I tried searching
around the FBSD site as well as the handbook and found
no listing, other than a line here and a line there.

Thank you all very much for your help, and have a
wonderful day.

Yes, you should, but apparently someone decided not to allow
that. Personally, that strikes me as a being bogus, but fixing it
requires hacking disklabel.

Try booting the fixit cdrom, and doing the disklabel to chagne e to a
without mounting e.

John,

Going at this from a different angle, if Apache was the one 
port you wanted to do this with, you could possibly accomplish 
this by having different httpd.conf files for your different 
Apache setups. Then by hacking the apachectl/httpd -f argument 
you could specify which configuration you wanted to start up.

It sounds like you need to rebuild the mod_php4 port. Somehow, it
found a sablot.69 when it was built, and that's now gone. Rebuilding
it should find the sablot.70 library and use that. I'm not familiar
with either mod php or sablot, so I can't be sure if I'm right, but
that's the general case with libraries missing like that.

Yup. One of the few magic partitions is root - it has to be a for the
system to boot

Yup, that's the way you fix it.

Basically, run "disklabel -e /dev/da0s1". That will create a temporary
file with the disklabel in it, and open an editor on that file. Delete
the line - if it exists - for a, copy the e line to where it was, and
then change the initial e to an a. Then save the file and exit the
editor. Fix your fstab to refer to da0s1a instead of da0s1e, and
reboot.

Aliasing Libraries or Installing Older Versions

[John McClure]

Thanks in advance for any help.

Trying to build mod_php4 (version 4.3.1) as a port,
basically not a big deal, BUT ... when I try to add
XSLT support via Sablotron, the Sablotron port builds
nicely from /usr/ports/textproc/sablotron but installs
a version of library that ldconfig -r lists as
lsablot.70.

The mod_php4 build complains (as pasted below) that is
can't find sablot.69. I rebuilt the library cache by
running ldconfig, but it appears that php is looking
specifically for sablot.69 and nothing else.

Can a library be aliased? Or should an older version
be installed? If so, how do I obtain that? Hints?
Suggestions?

partition is "e" should be "a" -- how to fix?

[Chad Leigh]

Hi

I have sent this three or four times already in the last 30 hours and 
never seen it show up in the list...  I am trying sending from a different 
account.

Over the weekend, I upgraded my HW on my server, replacing all disks with 
new ones.  In order to do this, I mounted the new disks, used sysinstall 
to partition and label the new partitions, and then I used dump/restore to 
move all the old partitions files and data to the new partitions.  I then 
took the old drives off, made appropriate fstab changes as needed, and 
rebooted.  Then I noticed a problem.  My "root" partition was now da0s1e 
instead of da0s1a .  I can boot the machine if I manually enter the 
different partition letter into the bootloader, but the bootloader doesn't 
find its meta data settings and the machine won't boot unattended.

How do I fix this?  How do I change the root partition from using "e" to 
"a"?  I would think I could use disklabel to map the "a" partition to the 
same range of blocks as the "e" partition, remake the special dev files, 
and be done with it.  However, I am wanting some second opinions on this, 
and since I am not a disklabel guru, some guidance on how to use disklabel 
without screwing up my system would be appreciated.  I am studying 
disklabel man pages, but I don't want to screw up my running system and 
would appreciate a small how-to explanation from someone who IS a 
disklabel guru :-)

Thanks
Chad

No, it won't overwrite the information. The dangers involved in having
two different ports revolves around them overwriting each other. The
stuff in /var/db/pkg will be fine. Just do two builds/installs with
different PREFIXs.

Be warned that not all ports are PREFIX-clean. I don't run apache as a
port, so I can't say for sure whether or not it is.

upgrading sendmail from ports was Re: Sendmail patch questions...

[Michelle Weeks]

I would like to upgrade sendmail from the ports collections.  However, I have been using sendmail 8.12.6 from the base install of freebsd 4.6.2 release and I believe that installing sendmail from the ports collection will add files to 
/usr/local rather then /usr where sendmail is currently located.  From the research I've done after I install sendmail from the ports collection, I will need to add the following lines to sendmail.mc file:

define(`confEBINDIR', `/usr/local/libexec')dnl
define(`UUCP_MAILER_PATH', `/usr/local/bin/uux')dnl

as well as change the mailer.conf file.  

Am I missing any other steps?  Any help would be greatly appreciated since this is my first attempt at upgrading sendmail.

Thank you,
Michelle

I'm also running 8.11.6.  I installed the correct patch from sendmail.org
but haven't figured out how to get it to compile.  The README says:

*
!! DO NOT USE MAKE !!  in this directory to compile sendmail --
*  instead, use the "Build" script located in
the sendmail directory.

However, there is no "Build" script.

Now what?

Multiple Versions of Same Port

[John McClure]

Thanks in advance for any help. I'm new to FreeBSD.

I want to maintain multiple copies of the apache
server, one running PHP, another running mod_perl,
perhaps another configured differently ...

If I use the ports system, how do I go about this? I
can use a different PREFIX for each different
installation, but will the ports system overwrite the
information each time under /var/db/pkg? If so, I'm
thinking this would break the pkg_delete functionality
at least.

I thought I might just cp the apache13 port, call if
something different, say apache13-2, and then do a
"make PREFIX=/usr/local/apache_whatever install". But
should I use the ports system for this? Under linux
I'd just do different compiles, which I could do here,
but I like the ease-of-upgrading provided by ports so
I'd like to use that if I could, as well as just gain
the general insight.

I tried searching the archives but couldn't find
anything helpful. Sorry if I missed something. Any
help here would be appreciated.

AMI Megaraid, failed array

[Wayne Pascoe]

Hi all,

A FreeBSD 4.7 machine with an AMI Megaraid controller and 3 disks in a
RAID 5 array failed on me this week. 

One of the disk drives went into offline state due to overheating and
the array, to the best of my knowledge should have continued in degraded
mode.

Two things concern me at this point.

1. There were no messages in /var/log/messages to indicate that a disk
had failed and the array was in degraded mode.

2. With 2 disks of the array still online, we were unable to read /
execute loads of data. Many text files were unreadable and system
binaries like tar unusable. 

When we got the disk back online and rebooted the box, we were able to
easily read data, and files that appeared to be corrupt turned out not
to be. 

Can anyone advise me on why I saw what I saw and how I can get around
this in the future.

Regards,

while the write speed is much much worse.
What kind of HDD?  What other processes are running?  The HDD is likely
the limiting factor.  If your HDD is slow, adding RAM can help, but it's
only going to help so much.
If I ftp to that machine I have read speed of minimum 7Mbits/sec.
As someone else pointed out, 7Mbytes/sec is reasonable, but 7Mbit/sec
is horrible.  I'm assuming your 1Mbit/sec number above is really
1Mbyte/sec.  Disabling delayed_ack should help.
I am puzzled why the samba has so much worse performance.
Than ftp?  Samba will always be slower than FTP.  This is because SMB
is massivly bloated compared to FTP.  FTP is a pretty streamlined
protocol with very little overhead.  SMB has a good bit of overhead,
although you shouldn't be seeing 7x differences.  That indicates
something else is wrong, but SMB speed will never be on par with FTP.
Is anyone that using samba on his freebsd machine without any
performance loss? 
Yes.  We have a Samba server right here and the performance is excellent
considering the ancient hardware it's running on.
Also if you have extra tips and tricks about samba and freebsd that can
boost the performance, they would be much appreciated. About tunning
parameters and so onThis machine will be the main server of a
laboratory of the university, and its not acceptable to have a low
speed.
You already seem to have found them below.  Have you changed delayed_ack
yet?  In my experiements, it makes a HUGE difference (we copied a large
file and I turned it on and off while the file was copying, you could
visibly see the difference in the speed at which the progress bar was
moving)
Additionally, don't use older versions of Windows.  We ran tests and
found out that Windows NT, 98, 95 all had approximately 1/2 the network
speed compared to Windows XP.  This is regardless of whether a Samba or
Windows server was used.
Thanks very much in advance!!

P.s. I searched the net and I saw the people suggested changing the
net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack value, or measuring with tcpdump the MSS window
size and trying to put a formula on it to calculate the parameter
SO_RCVBUF
Of the samba and various other tricksDo they have a point?
Yes.  Especially the net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack value will alter performance
considerably for Samba.  I've never gotten significant performance gains
by messing with the MSS windows, though.
P.s.2 I am also mounting with SUIDDIR the filesystems. Does this make a
performance loss?
Don't know

I thought that atapicam = scsi emulation for parallel devices thru CAM? or I got this

I'm talking about a CDRW on my parallel port..

I need to burn FreeBSD 5 and install it on an Ultra-10 d*mmit :)
my other fellows "Linux admins" are making fun of how I will return to them to burn a

so PLEASE HELP lol

Last time I had to deal with this issue, I opened them in Access and 
exported the mdb files as flat comma-delimited text, then massaged them 
into appropriate SQL (for Postgres) with Perl. Of course, that was back 
when I had access to a Windows box on co-op :) Now I'd have to seek other 
means... 

Just a thought.

I'm not usually too concerned about the Manufacturer's details about the
device.  (The string you are referring to.)  You can actually test the
device, i.e. make a coaster. Or,
use:

For starters, how do you measure _bits_ per second? "7Mbits/sec" sucks
for FTP over 100baseT networks. 7M bytes/sec is about right. Odds are
you have your bits and bytes mixed up.

At some point you have to consider your HD hardware. 1M bytes/sec of
random access isn't bad.

You should have a look at /etc/rc.firewall and use it as the template for
your rules. In your case, the "divert natd" rule should be the first;
looking at /etc/rc.firewall and using the "open" rule:

${fwcmd} add 50 divert natd all from any to any via tun0
${fwcmd} add 100 pass all from any to any via lo0
${fwcmd} add 200 deny all from any to 127.0.0.0/8
${fwcmd} add 300 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
${fwcmd} add 65000 pass all from any to any

Alternatively you could change your /etc/rc.conf:

firewall_type="open"

thanks for taking the time Scott :) but I still can't get the image..
I am aware that acd?c still shows up in my dmesg because I have both options in my 
kernel.
let me make this less painful :)..
how, what is the command that I can use to eject/load my parallel device, which shows 
as:
cd0 at ata1 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
cd0:  Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device
cd0: 16.000MB/s transfers
cd0: cd present [183123 x 2048 byte records]

I dont see any signs in my dmesg that says "CDR/CDRW. I dont know, I'm a bit confused 
here..
I've seen already other people's dmesg, and it shows their CDRW in dmesg

thanks again for ur time! :)

I was only quoting the default hosts.allow line for sshd which states:

# Wrapping sshd(8) is not normally a good idea... 

This is no reason not to use it since in the man for sshd it states:

/etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny

Access controls that should be enforced by tcp-wrappers are defined
here.  Further details are described in hosts_access(5).

A gateway, also called a "default router" is a machine that knows how
to get network traffic "anywhere" (theoretically).
Thus, if you have a small (or large for that matter) network, each
computer will have a gateway configured so that if it doesn't know
how to reach a particular computer, it can send the data to the
gateway, and the gateway will figure out how to deliver it.
This is somewhat oversimplified, but should give you the idea.

And what are other good things about freebsd in terms of networking?
That's a pretty broad question.
In my opinion, the best thing about FreeBSD's networking is that it
just works.  No playing around, no silly browse masters to worry about.
Usually, you turn on the machine and it just works.
The next best thing is the abundance of network tools for performance
testing, problem diagnosis and just about anything else you could need.
But if you ask 5 other people, you'll probably get 5 other answers.

Probably because if they would then someone would come and ask why they don't

Yes; however, acd0 will also be seen in your dmesg.  Not a problem, like I
said in a previous post as long as you access only one of the devices, i.e
/dev/acd0c or /dev/cd0 at a time.  You can remove the atapicd to minimize
this risk, of course.

Hope this is a little more clear.

RFE: include CVSROOT-src in src-all cvsup distribution

[Rolf Großmann]

Hi,

I've noticed that recently the cvsup distribution of commitlogs has
been moved out of CVSROOT/commitlogs to CVSROOT-*/commitlogs and
replaced with a symlink. However, the CVSROOT-* directories are not
part of the corresponding *-all cvsup distribution (only cvs-all).
Would it be feasible to include them in those distributions aswell?
I've always appreciated being able to look at the logs.

Thanks, Rolf

PS: I couldn't find a list specific to cvsup, so I hope this is ok here.

natd not working :(

[Khairil Yusof]

I'm having problems being a gateway for my freebsd box at home (I can
acccess internet, but others can't).

I have no problem to use the internet from my freebsd box with or
without the natd rule enabled.

This is what is puzzling me. I can access the outside net, through natd
and via tun0, so natd must be working. Again I confirmed this by the
count on ipfw rule which is showing that I am going through natd via the
divert rule.

What is it other than gateway, and natd that might be causing packets
not be routed properly for the other clients? I've checked that the
gateway ip and tcpip connection is ok for the clients also.

Any help would be much appreciated as always.

fxp0 = conneciton to local network
fxp1 = pppoe device that ppp uses
tun0

I've confirmed that,

net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1

and here's my setup:

in rc.conf

gateway_enable="YES"
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_profile="streamyx"
firewall_enable="YES"
firewall_script="/etc/ipfw.rules"
firewall_quiet="NO"
log_in_vain="NO"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="tun0"
natd_flags="-dynamic"

and my simple firewall rules (I've deleted stuff which is not important
and working like dns, ntp etc.):

#firewall command

fwcmd="/sbin/ipfw"

# Force a flushing of the current rules before we reload.
$fwcmd -f flush

# RULES FOR INTERNAL NETWORK ##

# Setup localhost
$fwcmd add allow ip from any to any via lo0

$fwcmd add allow any from any to any via fxp0

# Divert all packets through the tunnel interface.
$fwcmd add divert natd all from any to any via tun0

What does that have to do with portupgrade?

If you're trying to convey the height of your programming skills, you've
succeeded -- I've never done the above, and probably never will.  My interests
lie elsewhere. To each his own.

I am not making fun of you either -- portupgrades *can* go wrong in many
subtle ways. However I enjoy finding out what exactly went wrong, and try to
fix things in the process. Even better if I can find where portupgrade got
things wrong, so that I can report them to the author.

Note that I'm still a convinced portupgrade user. Kent's story led me to find
out why portupgrade did what it did, and it cautioned me to again look more
closely at what exactly happened after my portupgrade runs. And like I said, I
succesfully used portupgrade to survive X, mozilla and gnumeric upgrades.
That's why I'm still convinced that there's something on your system that
prevents you from portupgrading KDE.  However you don't seem interested in
fixing this anymore; not my loss.

> Portupgrade has too many ways it can go wrong for mere mortals.

That would be great. More alternatives is always better. Maybe you will also
encounter a lot of the difficulties of automatic dependencies and the like.
Maybe you can even make it part of the base system, or at least of the ports
system.

firewall

[Brian Henning]

Hello-
I am pretty new to natd and ipfw, so i would like to be able to describe what i
want
to be able to do with my new bsd router. This is to understand the nomenclature
and how understand

how other people use bsd as a router/firewall.
So far i have manually done this to my router.

>sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1  # gateway_enable="YES"
>natd -interface rl1
>ipfw -f flush
>ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via rl1
>ipfw add pass all from any to any

notes:
r11 is my external network
rl0 is my internal network

here is what i would like to do in a more standard way. Please correct my
wording
if it is off or if it unclear.

port forward: ssh from a local machine port 22 to the router port 22, open to
the outside
port forward: vpn port 5001 for all local machines, open to the outside
block all servers on the router to the outside, but not the inside
anyone on the local network has access to services on the router

what else should i consider?

is port forwarding done with ip or with mac address?

cheers,

brian

And the reason it's not a "good idea"?  I've always
assumed it was because you didn't want to be
on vacation, at a friends house, or suddenly have
your ISP switch subnets on you and lock you out
of your box...

Absolutely nothing wrong with denying the
supposed "cracker's" IP;  AAMOF, go over
to ARIN or APNIC or such and ditch entire
Class A nets that you'll never touch...I'll never
be in SE Asia, for example...

I use a dual strategy here.  One machine only
trusts a second; on the second box I deny
the known bad guyz and let most others try...
...Needless to say, the really important stuff
is on the first box...

we need more information to figure out what your problem is, I and many

Re: Cannot boot FreeBSD kernel with etherboot

I'm not sure exactly what the message means, but I've had the same
problem recently.  It appears to be related to the network card - not
the boot ROM.  I have one diskless machine up and running - booting from
a ROM on an Intel Pro100.  I have another Intel Pro100 with a built-on
ROM chip.  Now, my known good machine will not boot with this second
card.  I get the same error as you about "segment...memory region".
Both of the cards have the _exact_ same image loaded - by the way,
neither of them have the -DIMAGE_FREEBSD option set.  So apparently the
-DIMAGE_FREEBSD option is not necessary, as I daily boot and use a
machine from a ROM image that does not have this feature.  Also, I have
been getting my ROM images from http://rom-o-matic.org.  I find it very
convenient and altogether easier than using the ports version, not to
mention that the version is newer.  Anyway, my experiments seem to point
to the fact that it has something to do with the card, not the image or
the machine itself.  I have two machines with which to test.  Both
machines boot fine with one card, and both machines fail with the second
card, giving the same error you mention above.  However, I could be way
off base, and I'm definitely going to try loading an image with the
-DIMAGE_FREEBSD option set onto the problem card and see what happens.

This is probably not a ROM issue, but instead a problem with the kernel
you compiled.  Make sure that you have set the machine type correctly
your kernel config file.  Also, and this one got me, make sure that you
set the appropirate CPUTYPE in your /etc/make.conf file.  For the
longest time I had your exact problem - the kernel would load and then
the machine would immediately reboot.  I beat my head on the wall for
quite some time before I realized that my make.conf file was set to
build for CPUTYPE=i686, but I was trying to boot the kernel on i586.  As
soon as I specified the correct the CPUTYPE all was well.

I hope this helps, and I'll let you know if setting -DIMAGE_FREEBSD
works for my problem card.

USB Mass storage (Datafab)

[Irvine Short]

Hi All

There's a pile of pretty neat USB attached gadgets out there.

We just got a USB 2.0 external case with a 2.5" notebook drive in it.
It's a Datafab MD2-USB2A.
On my machine running 4-STABLE as of this afternoon with USB 1.0 ports 
whenever I try to access it I get this:

gopak# disklabel -w -r da0 auto
disklabel: /dev/da0c: Input/output error
and in /var/log/messages I get this:
Mar  4 17:31:32 gopak /kernel: da0: reading primary partition table: 
error reading fsbn 0

On a 5.0 machine (5.0-RELEASE-p3) with USB 2.0 ports (Intel 845 based 
motherboard) I get this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ disklabel -wr da0 auto
  disklabel: /dev/da0: Input/output error
and in  /var/log/messages:

Anyone ever make these things work? Under Windoze 2000 and XP it just 
works, no hassle at all.

Oh Mr Stijn. Listen, I am not tellimg you off, or making fun of you..Ok ?
I promise. But my eyes crossed, went sidewyas, took a holiday, crawled
across the floor looking for somewhere else to be.
Years and years ago I wrote a caculator program for DOS, using a
recursive state-machine model and allowing infinite precision, kind of
like "bc"..or is it "dc" ?
Quite necessary at the time to deal with the Dutch Tax System.

Portupgrade has too many ways it can go wrong for mere mortals.
I have offered to re-write it.
It will be a mega-project, but my offer is serious.

And ruby (don't take our love to town) will place a less than significant
role.

Re: hacking attempts?

[YOU]

ipfw: getsockopt(blaah)

Is your kernel configured for firewall work? Check LINT for options.

As well you should be able to use tcpwrappers, look in
/etc/hosts.allow. You could add a deny for this 'persons' ip addy denying
him/her/it access to your sshd daemon. NOTE: It is 'normally not a good
idea' to do this, but if you don't want to rebuild with a firewall
configured kernel it will suffice.

Hope this helps.

Yes.

man ppp
man 8 pppoe

It works with generic kernel. ppp loads the netgraph module
automatically. Here is what you need to have in rc.conf:

ifconfig_rl0="up"   
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="YES"
ppp_profile="SBC"

Then in ppp.conf you have:
default:
set log Phase tun command
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0
SBC:
set device PPPoE:rl0
set authname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
set authkey mypassword
set dial
set login
add default HISADDR


Note, my external interface is rl0 and ppp_profile points to relevant
stanza in ppp.conf

You can also add line in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup to update the ipnat and ipf
rules. Use tun0 as the external interface. DO not filter on rl0.

Email me privately if you need help...

Probably.

Should I be concerned?
Probably not, as long as you use good passwords for everything, you're
probably safe (unless you use telnet or ftp or something).
Also, if/when I see these, I'd like to add them to a blocked list using
/sbin/ipfw, but get the following message when trying this command:
# /sbin/ipfw add 1 deny all from 151.204.100.88:255.255.255.255 to any

Doesn't seem like IPFW is enabled.  What does your rc.conf look like?
You should enable it in /etc/rc.conf and select a good basic ruleset.
Additionally, when you add block rules like this, you should add them
to you /etc/rc.firewall script so they get preserved across a reboot.

There must be something written on this card. Enter that in Google and
see what comes up. Or tell it here, if Google doesn't work.

Does FreeBSD _see_ your card? Is it mentioned in the kernel messages?
If so, what do they exactly say? Or if you get to the install, is the
card listed among the network devices that you can use to install
over? Look for some device with a mac address, e.g.:

ep0: <3Com 3C509-Combo EtherLink III> at port 0x310-0x31f irq 10 on
isa0
ep0: Ethernet address 00:60:08:47:b1:0b

This "Ethernet address" indicates that it is an ethernet card :-)

> And how can I test if the ethernet card is up and running?

Usually there is some sort of DOS program for these old cards. You can
run it from a DOS floppy. This program can be used to set IRQ etc. as
well as to test the functioning.

Some of these cards also can be set to both BNC and UTP connectors,
some even have AUI. Often this works fine when set to auto. However,
if it set by some setup program in the past to do BNC and you use UTP,
it won't communicate obviously.

Some cards do have jumpers to set IRQ etc.

And then you have to enter the correct data of IRQ etc during the
FreeBSD install. Precisely because it is ISA.

And sometimes you also have to set the IRQ and memory address as
reserved in the BIOS. Otherwise those of your ISA card may be used by
some PCI device, and then it doesn't work, of course. In my experience
this is true for the Western Digital 8013 cards.

It is a bit of work, but many of these old cards do run fine still,
and you can pick them up from the street. Same with BNC cable, which
has far better connectors than UTP (RJ45, a.k.a. cat 5). I mean, stand
on a RJ45 connector, and you know what I mean. And you don't need a
hub, and have less cables on the floor, since BNC is daisy chain. So
if you are not going for 100 MBit, go ahead.

Log in as root, and enter the command 'dmesg'. Look through the output (you may need 
to scroll up using the Scroll Lock key).

You should see an entry for all the hardware in your machine.
