Motherboards

[Doug Hardie]

I have a number of servers that are reaching end of life.  They are  
over 7 years old and I can no longer find IDE drives that work with  
the slower controllers they have.  These are all towers and use ASUS  
motherboards.  Those were quite cheap at the time and the boards have  
worked very well over the years.  However, I am now hearing rumers  
that ASUS motherboards are no longer the best quality and probably  
should be avoided.  Don't need much on the machines, but do have to  
have 2 NICs and a SCSI controller on each.  What are good, rock  
solid, motherboards with FreeBSD 6.0?

Realtek 8201 driver?

[Pete Slagle]

Short version:

Does anyone have an ASUS P5RD1-VM on-board NIC or the Realtek 8201 chip 
working with 6-stable?  If so, which driver did you use?



Details:

I needed another quick and cheap box, so the other day I bought a ASUS 
P5RD1-VM motherboard on sale for almost nothing and booted up the 
6.0-RELEASE CD. (I'll upgrade it to stable when I get the network 
interface working.)


There is a built-in NIC which is apparently a Realtek RTL8201CL PHY, 
although `pciconf -lv` says Acer Labs perpetrated it. In either case, 
it's not listed on the hardware compatibility list and it isn't found at 
boot time by a GENERIC kernel:


   pci0:  at 27.0 (no driver attached)

The link light is on and the BIOS assigns it an IRQ so it does seem to 
be enabled and working at the firmware level.


I googled around for quite awhile and found a lot of questions about the 
8201, but no answers and no indication that there is a FreeBSD driver 
for it.


So, does anyone have any pointers about which, if any, driver might work 
with this motherboard's built-in ethernet interface?

how to create da* device?

[Peter]

I am still trying to get my USB hard drive to work.  It used to work
but now when I plug it in all I get is:

kernel: umass0: PI-036 USB2.0 Drive, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 2
kernel: umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (STALLED)

I remember such messages before but after them there were some more
meesages beginning with "da0".  But now no da* device is created under
/dev.

I figured maybe this (new) drive has gone bad but it works under
Windows 2000.  Any ideas why this has stopped working?  I did not
change anything on my system although I just updated my sources and
baked a new kernel without success (same results).

You can use procmail to forward mail to a second mailbox based on the "To" 
field. Here's a good tutorial to get you started:

http://userpages.umbc.edu/~ian/procmail.html

here's another:

http://pegasus.rutgers.edu/~elflord/unix/procmail.html

And finally, here's the procmail doc project:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pm-doc

Hope you find this useful.

I mean merging two mail flows together (the first and simple step) and

My M.U.A. is Mutt-ng devel-r581 (based on Mutt 1.5.11/2005-09-15).
I can use another one if necessary. Mutt and muttng allow to use several 
mailboxes.

But does sendmail or permit to use mailbox with name different from user name?
That is a question.

Cool. I don't see clock speed here. 

I guess this works though. 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sysctl -a | grep clockrate
kern.clockrate: { hz = 100, tick = 1, profhz = 1024, stathz = 128 }
hw.clockrate: 997

As it's ~1GHz, I guess that 997 is in MHz?

Yes, sir, I will provide any information you need.

I want to have two mailboxes with two addresses (for one account) 
on my computer. These different mailboxes I mean to use for different sources 
of incoming mail. So I need two real mailboxes, not two aliases 
for one mailbox. Then I can give my different address to different senders.


Although, I can make all mail going to one address and then filter incoming
mail, I think it is a wrong way, because of superfluous action.

One mailbox I have since account creation. Its address is account name.
The sendmail sends a mail to this address to /var/mail/account_name.
How to make the second mailbox?

I have installed FreeBSD 6.0 and Sendmail 8.13.5.

Any additional information needed?

Well, there goes my plan. I'd think an alias along with a procmail recipe
to filter into separate mbox's would be a simple and effective solution.

But this is true whether or not you use ports or packages on your
FreeBSD system.

Hi, first of all, from what I know ia64 won't 
work... That release is for the itanium kinda cpus...
You have the choice between amd64 version (it 
works with processor having the emt64 extensions 
like the xeon) or the i386 version.


If all you need will be compiled from the ports, 
I highly recommend the amd64 version...
If you are planning on installing precompiled 
binairies you'll find that there is no support 
nowhere for the amd64 version so I recommend to use i386


Hope  this helps

Yes, that is all the devices that twa supported when 6.0 was made.
Support for the 95x0SX cards have been added since.
The upcoming 6.1 should support all the devices that 7-CURRENT supports.

Sounds like you're coming from Linux?

Did you add the user? can you login as that user?

If you pasted the user info into master.passwd then you need run 
pwd_mkdb to update the db files. If you pasted into passwd, then that's 
not the way to do it.


Use pw(8) to add users and keep files correctly updated.

You set hostname in rc.conf.

Cheers, Erik

Installing a custom kernel with sysinstall over NFS

[Josh Endries]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I have NFS+PXE installs working, but I need quotas enabled. I haven't
seen any way to do this other than a custom kernel, so I need to have
sysinstall push a custom build kernel out instead of the default one. I
copied the disc1 ISO to a directory, /var/export/6.0-RELEASE, and I need
to update this with my custom kernel but I don't really know how. I
found where it keeps the "base" distribution gz files, now how do I get
my new kernel into there?

I read online about making a release, and it seems I should go into my
/usr/src and do a make release chrootdir=/var/export/6.0-RELEASE, is
this correct or is there an easier way to do this? The machine isn't too
fast, it takes overnight to build a kernel, so if there's a better way
that would rock. I could copy my files and make my own gz's but I'm
hoping there's a better way, or a way to fetch a different kernel, or
something.

Thanks,
Josh

3ware 9550SX-8LP RAID help

[Huy Ton That]

Hello I just purchased a new server and was installing FBSD.  It currently
has 2 internal harddrives which are working and mountable.  Additionally
there are 3 hotswappable hdds which are connected to a 3ware 9550sx-8LP raid
5/0 controller card.  Everything has been configured properly within the
controller's bios.  However, the controller is not detected during boot
time.

I found out that the 'twa' drivers should take care of this, and after
consulting the online manpages I saw...  however it said FreeBSD 7.0 below
at the bottom of the online manpage...

*HARDWARE* 

 The *twa* driver supports the following SATA RAID controllers:

 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500S-4LP
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500S-8
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500S-8MI
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500S-12
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500S-12MI
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-4LP
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-8LP
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-12
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-12MI
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9500SX-16ML
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-4LP
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-8LP
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-12
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-12MI
 *·* AMCC's 3ware 9550SX-16ML

The odd thing is that when I do man twa locally on the machine, this is all
I have on my list:

 o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-4LP
 o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-8
 o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-8MI
 o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-12
 o   AMCC's 3ware 9500S-12MI

Is this just what is supported for FreeBSD 6.0?

I tried loading the twa locally from the box and received the following
message:

kldload twa
module_register: module pci/twa already exists!
Module pci/twa failed to register: 17
kldload: can't load twa: File exists

did you apply this for host + all jails ? restarted all the postfix-es

see here more info about the inet_interfaces option :

See this section of /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/README:

| DIRECTORY PERMISSIONS |

Sendmail often gets blamed for many problems that are actually the
result of other problems, such as overly permissive modes on  
directories.

For this reason, sendmail checks the modes on system directories and
files to determine if they can be trusted.  For sendmail to run without
complaining, you MUST execute the following command:

chmod go-w / /etc /etc/mail /usr /var /var/spool /var/spool/ 
mqueue
chown root / /etc /etc/mail /usr /var /var/spool /var/spool/ 
mqueue



...there's also a DontBlameSendmail option which disables the  
security checks, but you're better off fixing the issue directly.


(You could also check out mtree.)

The 'Amnesiac' screen s set up when FreeBSD starts up

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

When  FreeBSD  starts up, you see a screen (on an  IBM PC )
with a heading line that says:
FreeBSD/i386 (Amnesiac) (ttyv0)
It is followed by a blank line and a "login:" line.  There are 7 other
like screens with heading lines that differ in the digit following
"ttyv", in those it ranges from  1  to  7 .  One moves from one of these 
screens to the one that announced itself as  ttyvj  by depressing
an  Alt  key and the function key labelled  j+1  simultaneously.
If one is in  Xwindows , one switches to screen  ttyvj  by depressing
 Ctrl  &  Alt  keys and the function key labelled  j+1  simultaneously.  One 
can return to the  Xwindows  screen by depressing an  Alt  key and 
the function key labelled  9  simultaneously.

Is there a command that tells one on which screen one now
sits, and if so what is its path-name?  Where are these screens
set up, and can one change that, say adding new screens?

No, where it worked it was not within jails.

I have not used an autoloader, but have used the LTO drives on
a SCSI controller and they work fine - just like a real tape drive.

Postfix inside a jail

[Vaaf]

Hello!

I'm trying to get FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE, postfix-2.1.6,1 and 
mysql-5.0.16 working.


Even though the setup seems flawless, it won't work.

/var/log/maillog is empty. The maillog.N files are all 122 bytes. So 
nothing there.

Syslog is running, and it is configured to log to maillog.

Wow, I stopped following this thread for a few hours and now I can just
compile a mini-ports howto. ^^ So, first things first: thanks for all who
replied. All replies were meaningful, so thank you all.

Kevin, what I didn't know was the fact that ports and packages share the
same database. Knowing that was really helpful and cleared most doubts I
had.

Donald, I didn't know about "make package-recursive" and I think I won't try
it, for now. My system is almost  completly installed and the missing
packages won't take that much to justify creating the packages to ease
future installations (well, in fact I hope I never need to reinstall FreeBSD
^^). I may try it, though, just to see how it works.

One last question: is there a way to find what are the standard targets for
any given port? I know I could install bash-completion, but I don't it is
"100% reliable" (I think it may miss some targets if Makefiles are included,
but I may be wrong).

Once again, thank you all.
 



Well, this is where "RTF*M", "UTSL", and so on probably come in.  Not
that RTFMming is a lot of fun, mind you; but I'm not using it to insult
you, either.

First, there's ports(7).  Then, since the ports system uses
make(1), that's one to read, I'd guess.  Make(1) points you
over to read make.conf(5).  Ports(7) says this:


BUGS
Ports documentation is split over four places --
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, The Porter's Handbook, the ``Packages and
Ports'' chapter of The FreeBSD Handbook, and this manual page.

So, those would be some places to start, too (most of which come
in the doc distribution, and is on the website and mirrors, of course.

And as for "UTSL" (that's "use the Source, Luke", right?) you could
read about 14,000 ports Makefiles, if you had time.  Hopefully a few
select ones might suffice

I don't know if anyone's got a totally complete handle on the entire
system.  People like Mr. Kennaway and many other committers come
close, I'm sure ... but I imagine their knowledge came from RTFM,
and experience, just like most everyone else's**.

HTH,

Kevin Kinsey

*Yeah, that's "Read The Friendly Manual".  Those who say otherwise,
well, they're not friendly, I guess  :D

familiar with his work ... up to a point (which is where commenting

Re: Cheap FreeBSD hosting?

[Tim Traver]

Scott,

Not exactly sure what your needs are, but we have a shared hosting 
system that uses FreeBSD as its back end, and we offer competitive 
features and prices, with a really cool control panel...


Our main package for domains is only $12.99/mo and you get 750MB of 
disk, 15GB of transfer per month, and all the other features that you 
would expect from a high end web hosting company.


And we didn't just go out and buy someone's hosting platform software, 
we built our own from scratch, using FreeBSD as the base operating 
system to provide a fully redundant shared hosting system that can 
handle all of your needs.


Go to http://www.simplenet.com/ and check it out...

Tim.

Thanks, but that doesn't do it, everything still goes through nice and

Re: Fw: Low perf of i386 6.0 on dell poweredge 1850 bi-Xeon 2.8ghzDualCore

[Eric]

Hi,

Still my performance problem ( for resume mysql three time slower on freebsd 
6.0 than 4.11).
In fact I do new test on several server and several freebsd release and now 
be quiet sure that problem come from "amr" driver.

I install 6.0 on other server with perc4 and have same very low performance.

To resume : when doing "diskinfo -v -t amrd0" with freebsd 6.0 or 5.4 on
 - bi-xeon 3Ghz and scsi 15.000t hdd on perc4di Raid1 card  I have 
slower results than on

 - simple AMD 2800+ with ide discs.

I have same server with freebsd 4.11 and perfs are 2 or three time better.
If it may help I also try freebsd 5.3, it was better but again very fare 
from 4.11.


Does anybody know what may goes wrong with default config of  freebsd 5.4, 
6.0 or 6.1 beta4?
Is there special things to do with amr driver? ( I try with/without smp, 
acpi but anything change)


Thanks for help as it seems to be quiet stupid to have bi-xeon dualcore and 
install freebsd 4.11.


Eric.

Those are for dedicated servers where the cheapest is $65/month. I guess I

Thanks for the lead, but looks like I'd have to pay 5X as much per month
($40) for half the space on their shared hosting. :(

I agree. I was otherwise happy. However this buyout is going to be bad, I
fear. And the OS change makes me feel hypocritical since I have "Powered

My point was that it doesn't create a package file and then install it, which 
is  how I read it. 

There is a strong unwritten convention in the language  of FreeBSD that you 
don't refer to installing from a port as installing a package - even though 
it's technically correct.

Hi Jack,

Since all jails and the main host have their own IP address, it is
quite easy to do the setup you ask for. The idea here is to tell
sendmail(8) on which IP it should bind to. No need to fuss around with
ports or anything like that :o)

For the sake of example, let's say we have this:

main.host.com: 192.168.1.1
jail.host.com: 192.168.1.2

On the main host, make sure you have

sendmail_enable="YES"

in /etc/rc.conf. This will tell sendmail to run and listen for outside 
requests.

Next, edit the /etc/mail/`uname -n`.mc file (make sure the uname(1)
command is enclosed in back-ticks).

sudo vi /etc/mail/`uname -n`.mc

Include whatever sendmail(8) MC macro configuration you need and make
sure you have this line which tells sendmail(8) to listen on
192.168.1.1 on TCP port 25.

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=25, Addr=192.168.1.1, Name=MTA, Family=inet')dnl

Save the `uname -n`.mc file and restart sendmail:

cd /etc/mail
sudo make install restart

Make sure you check /var/log/maillog for any errors.

Now for the jails, you only have to configure sendmail in whatever way
you need and have this

sendmail_enable="NO"

in /etc/rc.conf. This tells sendmail to process mail only if it is
originating from the localhost. I would recommend configuring each
jails as a sendmail null client to your main host. For example:

OSTYPE(`freebsd6')dnl
FEATURE(`nullclient', `main.host.com')dnl

Which will cause all jails to "punt" their mail directly to your
main.host.com machine.

If you're not sure about which ports are opened by sendmail in the
main host or the jails, run the sockstat(1) command.

Also, sendmail relies on DNS for everything, so make sure your DNS
systems is on par with the various hostnames you use. Otherwise,
you'll end up with long boot time and a whole bunch of broken mail
problems.

Finally, make sure you upgrade sendmail to version 8.13.6 because
previous versions contain a vulnerability. Install port mail/sendmail.
(this is my sendmail configuration in make.conf)

sudo vi /etc/make.conf

NO_SENDMAIL= true

SENDMAIL_CF_DIR=/usr/local/share/sendmail/cf

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/mail/sendmail}
SENDMAIL_WITHOUT_IPV6=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITHOUT_NIS=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_TLS=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SMTPS=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SASL=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SASL2=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_LDAP=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_BERKELEYDB_VER=42 \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SOCKETMAP=yes \
# SENDMAIL_WITH_CYRUSLOOKUP=no \
SENDMAIL_WITH_PICKY_HELO_CHECK=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SHARED_MILTER=yes
.endif

cd /usr/ports/mail/sendmail
sudo make install
sudo make mailer.conf
sudo make clean

Check if you're using the right one:

sendmail -bt -d0.1 < /dev/null

Let me know if you need more assistance. Of course, YMMV.

Cheers,

David

David: Thank you so much for this detailed "howto" on my question of 
configuring sendmail to handle both the main host and a jail on the same 
ports -- the info I found in the sendmail readme said to use different 
ports, (like 925 & 987) but if you advice works, this is great!


I wondered how I was going to use a bunch of jails without jumping thru 
hoops!


Thanks again.

help needed - GBDE mounts on top of FUSE sshfs (fails)

[Ensel Sharon]

Hi,

I have posted this before on -questions and -hackers, and gotten no
response.

Basically, I have remote storage that I can access over ssh (from
rsync.net, who I _love_) and I use sshfs in FreeBSD 6.0 ports tree to
mount my filesystem locally.  I followed this FreeBSD sshfs tutorial:

http://www.rsync.net/resources/howto/freebsd_sshfs.html

The good news is, it works great.  The bad news is, I cannot create a GBDE
in the mounted sshfs.  Here are the details:

When I place the backing-store-file (for my GBDE) on a mounted sshfs
(fuse) volume, it no longer works.  Specifically, when I issue command:

gbde init /dev/md0 -i -L /etc/gbde/md0

and save the resulting file that opens in my editor (without making any
changes, as usual), after typing in my passphrase twice, I get this error:

Enter new passphrase:
Reenter new passphrase: 
gbde: write: Input/output error
#


Is this expected ?  Is this a specific problem with fuse-fs, or would this
fail if I tried to put the backing store on any kind of other mounted
abnormal filesystem ? (say an NFS mount, or another md-backed mount point)

Any comments ?  I really want an offsite encrypted volume.  I have the
offsite from rsync.net, and the transport is encrypted via sshfs, but I am
paranoid and do not want them (or anyone) to see the contants, so I want
to just upload a single 2gig file and make a GBDE on it.

thanks.

package vs ports question

[Luiz Eduardo Guida Valmont]

Wow, I stopped following this thread for a few hours and now I can just
compile a mini-ports howto. ^^ So, first things first: thanks for all who
replied. All replies were meaningful, so thank you all.

Kevin, what I didn't know was the fact that ports and packages share the
same database. Knowing that was really helpful and cleared most doubts I
had.

Donald, I didn't know about "make package-recursive" and I think I won't try
it, for now. My system is almost  completly installed and the missing
packages won't take that much to justify creating the packages to ease
future installations (well, in fact I hope I never need to reinstall FreeBSD
^^). I may try it, though, just to see how it works.

One last question: is there a way to find what are the standard targets for
any given port? I know I could install bash-completion, but I don't it is
"100% reliable" (I think it may miss some targets if Makefiles are included,
but I may be wrong).

Once again, thank you all.

'make install' builds a package from the port and installs it. 'make 
package' builds a package and installs it, it also saves it in 
compressed form so it can be reinstalled if necessary. 

A port is a skeleton, it contains the information needed to build a 
package and that's it. The ports aren't installed, it's the package 
that results from building a port that is installed. Ports are only 
skeletons, the contain the information necessary to allow the port to 
be built into an installable package.

'make package' will install the missing dependencies but will only make 
a package of the the port being installed. If you want to make a 
package of the dependent ports you need to use 'make 
package-recursive'. Be advised, probably somewhere in the build of the 
packages, something will be missing and it will break. At least, it 
always has for me. So, packages are built for some of the dependent 
ports, but not for others.

You need to check that /usr/ports/packages exists and if it doesn't, do 
a 'mkdir /usr/ports/packages', otherwise the built packages are put in 
the port. Not a really convenient place.

I very seldom build packages anymore.

Make package creates a package out of an installed port (it will install the 
port first, if neccessary). It doesn't install the package - there would be

Trying now, thanks!

I'm also going to drop a line on hackers@, see if anyone over there is
interested in syslogd problems.

Thanks to everyone for the help.

Hi Jack,

Since all jails and the main host have their own IP address, it is
quite easy to do the setup you ask for. The idea here is to tell
sendmail(8) on which IP it should bind to. No need to fuss around with
ports or anything like that :o)

For the sake of example, let's say we have this:

main.host.com: 192.168.1.1
jail.host.com: 192.168.1.2

On the main host, make sure you have

sendmail_enable="YES"

in /etc/rc.conf. This will tell sendmail to run and listen for outside requests.
Next, edit the /etc/mail/`uname -n`.mc file (make sure the uname(1)
command is enclosed in back-ticks).

sudo vi /etc/mail/`uname -n`.mc

Include whatever sendmail(8) MC macro configuration you need and make
sure you have this line which tells sendmail(8) to listen on
192.168.1.1 on TCP port 25.

DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=25, Addr=192.168.1.1, Name=MTA, Family=inet')dnl

Save the `uname -n`.mc file and restart sendmail:

cd /etc/mail
sudo make install restart

Make sure you check /var/log/maillog for any errors.

Now for the jails, you only have to configure sendmail in whatever way
you need and have this

sendmail_enable="NO"

in /etc/rc.conf. This tells sendmail to process mail only if it is
originating from the localhost. I would recommend configuring each
jails as a sendmail null client to your main host. For example:

OSTYPE(`freebsd6')dnl
FEATURE(`nullclient', `main.host.com')dnl

Which will cause all jails to "punt" their mail directly to your
main.host.com machine.

If you're not sure about which ports are opened by sendmail in the
main host or the jails, run the sockstat(1) command.

Also, sendmail relies on DNS for everything, so make sure your DNS
systems is on par with the various hostnames you use. Otherwise,
you'll end up with long boot time and a whole bunch of broken mail
problems.

Finally, make sure you upgrade sendmail to version 8.13.6 because
previous versions contain a vulnerability. Install port mail/sendmail.
(this is my sendmail configuration in make.conf)

sudo vi /etc/make.conf

NO_SENDMAIL= true

SENDMAIL_CF_DIR=/usr/local/share/sendmail/cf

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/mail/sendmail}
SENDMAIL_WITHOUT_IPV6=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITHOUT_NIS=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_TLS=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SMTPS=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SASL=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SASL2=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_LDAP=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_BERKELEYDB_VER=42 \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SOCKETMAP=yes \
# SENDMAIL_WITH_CYRUSLOOKUP=no \
SENDMAIL_WITH_PICKY_HELO_CHECK=yes \
SENDMAIL_WITH_SHARED_MILTER=yes
.endif

cd /usr/ports/mail/sendmail
sudo make install
sudo make mailer.conf
sudo make clean

Check if you're using the right one:

sendmail -bt -d0.1 < /dev/null

Let me know if you need more assistance. Of course, YMMV.

Cheers,

David

This *is* the loghost other hosts are forwarding their logs to.  So,
I'm pretty sure that's not it.  :-)

Thanks for the answer. I just hope I'm not messing things too much.

So if a port may override a package, is the only solution to this
generate a package then install it? Now if this happens, what will
happen for example (supposing I install everything from packages - or
"make package" then pkg_add for that matter) when I install Adobe
Acrobat? Are all its dependancies going to be installed as well? I
mean, ports doesn't "know" which packages were installed by pkg_add,
which is how I suppose those packages are installed. Sorry if I cannot
make myself clear enough, but there's still the fog that blinds
newbies like me. :)
 



Sorry if I'm interjecting stupid stuff here .. . haven't yet backtracked
this thread.

What exactly do you mean, "ports doesn't *know* which packages
were installed by pkg_add" ... they use the same database, and as
far as the ports(7) mechanism is concerned, they are the same thing.

The difference is in the details visible to the user; as far as the ports
system is concerned, files is files, and port/package data is data.


Is it possible to generate packages for all the dependancies? Does
"make package" do this for all packages for which a package can be
created? I hope I won't need to reinstall them but you know... you
never know. :)

 



'make package' should include all dependencies, by my understanding;
however, my understanding isn't the greatest, so YMMV.



Thanks again...

Heh.  :-)  Well, it's pretty clear that the syslog traffic isn't being drained
by the syslog daemon properly.  I've seen syslogd get stuck like that if it was
forwarding logs to another host specified by name and not IP, and it was having
problems resolving it.

[ I've got a MacOS X 10.2(.9?) machine where syslogd is frozen upon boot now due
to using a non-local hostname to forward one specific type of traffic elsewhere,
so I have to kill -9 it and restart it by hand once the resolver has gotten
going, if I reboot that machine. ]

Western Digital combination usb/firewire hdd

[Conrad J. Sabatier]

I just added a 320-gig Western Digital external hard disk drive to
my amd64 RELENG_6 system (as /dev/da0).  The OEM docs recommend
connecting both the USB *and* the firewire cables for optimal
performance, which I've done.

What I'm wondering is: how does FreeBSD deal with such a setup?  Does it
favor one connection over the other, or does it actually use both?  It
seems I'm getting firewire throughput on the device (at bootup dmesg
reports 50 MB/s transfer rate, rather than the slower 12 MB/s USB
rate).

The device is working just fine, but I'm just curious about this, if
anyone has any clues.

Thanks!

Even among scripting languages, perl is unique in its pathological
lack of backward compatibility.  The FreeBSD maintainers do a nice job
of limiting the pain, but you *do* have to follow their directions.

Thanks.  I think you've shown me how to find the problem:

# netstat -na

udp4   43414  0  *.514  *.*
udp4   0  0  *.49661*.*
...

We have no firewall on this machine; it's buried behind three layers
of firewall.

I've tried running syslogd in debug mode, but not found anything
particularly useful yet.  Syslogd is now set to restart every 15
minutes, and run in debug mode, so hopefully the next time this
happens I'll have the debugging output.  The problem happens even
within fifteen minutes, but because of my timeouts nobody notices.

I'm attaching the output of netstat -na and netstat -s for general
informative purposes; if anyone has any further suggestions, I'm all
ears.

Thanks,

In /etc/syslog.conf look for line with console.info, uncomment it, and

server crashing/deadlocking

[Chris]

A server running freebsd 6.0 stopped responding and recovered via
remote reboot mechanism.

Some points.

(a) I have no console access.
(b) I have to pay 100 euros an hour to have someone at the console and
this isnt a viable option.
(c) No serial console or kvm is available.

Every server we have had running 6.0 in production environments so far
has had some kind of stability issue, every server except this one
(this had 6.0 fresh install) ran very well on freebsd 5.x.

The problem in this case is that the server simply stopped responding
to everything, no log entries, no kernel panic logged everything just
stopped.  Is this a deadlock? if yes can debugging get it to log
anything to try and find the cause?

I had a look at the 6.1 todo list and it isnt pretty reading and it
seems 6.x has a fair few bugs, the server has sata hd's and I also
read about people upgrading to 6.1-prerelease to stop their sata
deadlocks.

I am not interested in people who want to tell me the hardware is
faulty, I can assure you it isnt.

I also want to know by enabling console.log will it catch everything
that pops up on the screen and if no how do I do that?

thanks

BATCH stops INTERACTIVE ports being built, and causes other  ports to build 
with default options, using the port "knobs"  (as in WITH_FOO) to override 
the defaults.

Only a handfull  of ports are INTERACTIVE, usually because they require you to 
agree to a licence at install time.

Try this:


#!/bin/sh

# Get list of out-of-date ports
# This may take some time

plist=`pkg_version -ovl'<' |awk '{ print $1 }'`

# allow each out-of-date port to update it's config, and that of any new
# dependencies (dialog only runs when something has changed)

for porg in $plist ; do
cd  /usr/ports/${porg} && make config-recursive
done

look up how to fix it, it's FAQ. "recover root password" or something

I means that whoever logged in came from an address with broken DNS.
Specifically, their reverse DNS doesn't match their forward DNS.

Unfortunately, these days it's not a good indicator of how dangerous
the origin is, as a lot of people seem incapable of correctly configuring
DNS.  But it is an indicator that you'll have difficulty tracking
down the source of the login.

a port and a package are the same thing, in a different form :). the
tree structure under /usr/ports contains information about applications
ported to Freebsd. This information is used to compile each application
as needed for FBSD. You can do this yourself, therefore "installing it
from the ports". 

Or you can use the binary output of that compilation that someone else
did, and which is provided to you in the form of a package.

You may want to , like I do, have a binary installer of the apps you
are running, which is why I mentioned how you create, from the
ports, your own packages (remember, 'package' = 'binary result of
building/compiling a port'). 

( if someone wants to clarify my explanation, PLEASE go ahead :) )

make package will actually make the package and install it for you, you
dont need to do a pkg_add after that (yes, a bit counter-intuitive, but
really handy)

yes, that's the beauty of using portinstall or portupgrade instead of
pkg_add (I think pkg_add resolves dependencies, but not as
cleverly/well as portinstall / portupgrade)

portinstall -pP [section/port]

will do this for you for 'port' and all its build and run dependencies.

All the interactive dialogs that I've seen store the result of your
choices in /var/db/ports.  As a result, you never see the dialog again
if you reinstall or upgrade the port.

You could establish a set of options on a scratch machine, then copy
the /var/db/ports directory to the new machines you are building.

Also, the portupgrade.conf file allows you to add command line options
for ports.  See the man page for details.

Fwd: package vs ports question

[Luiz Eduardo Guida Valmont]

Thanks for the answer. I just hope I'm not messing things too much.

So if a port may override a package, is the only solution to this
generate a package then install it? Now if this happens, what will
happen for example (supposing I install everything from packages - or
"make package" then pkg_add for that matter) when I install Adobe
Acrobat? Are all its dependancies going to be installed as well? I
mean, ports doesn't "know" which packages were installed by pkg_add,
which is how I suppose those packages are installed. Sorry if I cannot
make myself clear enough, but there's still the fog that blinds
newbies like me. :)

Is it possible to generate packages for all the dependancies? Does
"make package" do this for all packages for which a package can be
created? I hope I won't need to reinstall them but you know... you
never know. :)

Thanks again...

yes. for example ,you select to install bash-3 from sysinstall ( " the
freebsd installer UI" ). this reads and installs the package
bash-3.x.y.z.tbz from somewhere in your selected setup origin (DVD /
CD / FTP / NFS).

I assume you would also install the ports collection and keep it up to
date (keeping a system up to date without the actual ports collection
in /usr/ports is , I guess, doable...though i've never done it, and I
dont see why I would want to, unless i'm in dire need of space).

Anyway, you update your ports, and you learn that bas-3.x.(y+1).b is
out. You can now install this new version from a package by either:
 a) downloading the package by hand and using 
   pkg_add /path/to/package/file 
 b) portupgrade -PP bash

Or you can install this from source, by doing either of:
 a) cd /usr/ports/shells/bash ; make install clean
 or
 b) portupgrade shells/bash

The option I've been using lately is a mix of both - use the package if
available (locally or from remote site); if not avail, build from
source and generate a package (so I can reinstall as needed in
other/same box):
 portupgrade -pP shells/bash

or

 cd /usr/ports/shells/bash ; make ; make deinstall ; make package
clean

 ( package generation doesnt work for ALL ports, but the vast
majority would be ok. For example ,Adobe Acrobate cannot be
redistributed in binary form, so a package cannot be generated. the
process will still work)

if  using the ports system will change any software you installed when you

I want to make sure that myself and others who may try to answer your

Hi,

Your best bet is to read the handbook section

though, yes packages are pre-built and ports need
to be compiled, linked, etc from sources.

It appears that some host is misconfigured and is attempting to use an 
ocupied ip:

a) you have a static arp table with a different mac/ip.
b) your own interface is configured for that ip and someone else is trying 
to use it.

To investigate further: try using arping to find host with that mac and 
hosts with that ip.

after many times of repeating itself I get a message which says "last message 
repeated x times"..
does anybody have any idea about it?
ps: 10.101.10.47 is another pc on the local lan...



You have a permanent entry in your ARP-table for that IP. But someone 
tries to use this IP on another computer, or NIC was changed on the PC 
with that IP.

It appears that some host is misconfigured and is attempting to use an 
ocupied ip:


a) you have a static arp table with a different mac/ip.
b) your own interface is configured for that ip and someone else is trying 
to use it.


To investigate further: try using arping to find host with that mac and 
hosts with that ip.


Cheers, Erik

you might want to look at this as well: my guess is that for the
fade-issue, you will need ImageMagick.

that will probably solve your problems.
