FreeBSD+ZFS+Samba: open_socket_in: Protocol not supported - after a few days?
Samba 3.4 on FreeBSD 8-STABLE branch.
After a few days I start getting weird errors and windows PC's can't
access the samba share, have trouble accessing files, etc, and samba
becomes totally unusable.
Restarting samba doesn't fix it – only a reboot does.
Accessing files on the ZFS pool locally is fine. Other services (like
dhcpd, openldap server) on the box continue to work fine. Only samba
dies and by dies I mean it can no longer service clients and windows
brings up bizarre errors. Windows can access our other samba servers (on
linux, etc) just fine.

Lpr 'queue full" error
Aloha, I have a network HP Laserjet 1100 printer that has been running with out failure since 2004 on my office lan using aps2 filter on a FreeBSD 4.9 Lpr print server. It became intermittent recently in that it prints files from the command line only. The gui's on the three desktop boxes on the lan (all FreeBSD 8 & 9) no longer print. The error is "queue is full" when print job is sent from a gui. It works fine from the command line. Could the aps2 filter have failed? Any suggestions as to what to look for appreciated. Search only showed similar questions no answers.

Checking .. 14593 * 255 * 63 = 234436545 sectors, less DOS partition 1 (FreeBSD s1) = 234436482 sectors equals 63 sectors, being all of cylinder 0, head 0; slices start on cylinder boundaries. > The data for partition 2 is: > > The data for partition 3 is: > > The data for partition 4 is: > > > I tried 'fsck_ufs /dev/da0', it says > > ** /dev/da0 > Cannot find file system superblock > ioctl (GCINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device > fsck_ufs: /dev/da0: can't read disk label Yes, as it should. You haven't lost your MBR & partition table, but it appears you may have lost the bsdlabel at the beginning of slice 1; this is likely why FreeBSD only finds /dev/da0 and (perhaps) /dev/da0a .. In the absence of a label on slice 1 (listing FreeBSD partitions c, the whole slice, and one or more of a, b, d - h) the system seems to assume this is a 'dangerously dedicated' disk, with no slices, covering the whole disk - but still with no label. I think the system is probably assuming wrongly here, from a missing or damaged label. Polytropon's advice to dd the whole drive to somewhere is excellent if you have 114GB spare somewhere - but if you don't, at least dd the first 126 or so sectors to a file in case of further disasters. > I forget what layout the disk has. Normally I used /dev/da0s1d to mount the > disk. > > What the next step should I do? First, to see if there's any meaningful label there, try just: # bsdlabel /dev/da0s1 If that disk just had a single 'd' partition, as sounds maybe likely?, and it doesn't show up with the above command, then you may get away with just making a fresh label for the whole slice, with just 'c' and 'd' partitions, both of size 234436482 sectors. I'm not the best person to advise on the right bsdlabel command, so I won't speculate (possibly mis-advising you) on that. If you had other partitions than just 'd' in that slice then working out the boundaries and sizes will be a lot more complex, but if just one it looks fixable. Of course, if the label at the beginning of slice 1 was clobbered, so may have been other data, but with a new label you might be able to recover it with 'fsck da0s1d' if the filesystem is more or less intact. It's always worth keeping a copy of the output of bsdlabel for every FreeBSD slice somewhere safe (like on paper!) for times such as these. cheers, Ian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
pptp VPN dropping
Hi; I have the following situation: FBSD 8-STABLE firewall/vpn server (poptop)to a windows network, authenticating to an AD 2008 as radius. Everything seems working ok. I connect to the LAN through an XP machine. Auth works fine, the tunnel is up, and I can ping and "see" every server on the LAN and run terminal services sessions on the servers from the XP machine. However, when I try accessing the exchange 2008 server (https / owa) via web through its LAN ip, the page starts loading, the outlook page with the list of e-mails shows up but just before it finishes, the tunnel drops as if I had disconnected the VPN interface. log: Jun 13 13:44:24 AllenFW ppp[1987]: Phase: Radius(acct): START data sent Jun 13 13:44:24 AllenFW ppp[1987]: LCP: Reducing MTU from 1400 to 1398 (CCP requirement) Jun 13 13:46:03 AllenFW ppp[1987]: LCP: deflink: SendEchoRequest(5) state = Opened Jun 13 13:46:03 AllenFW ppp[1987]: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoReply(5) state = Opened up to here, the VPN is nomal (pinging, etc..) just before the owa page finishes Jun 13 13:46:12 AllenFW ppp[1987]: Phase: deflink: read (0): Got zero bytes Jun 13 13:46:12 AllenFW ppp[1987]: LCP: deflink: Closing due to CCP completion Jun 13 13:46:12 AllenFW ppp[1987]: LCP: deflink: LayerDown Jun 13 13:46:12 AllenFW ppp[1987]: LCP: deflink: SendTerminateReq(4) state = Opened Jun 13 13:46:12 AllenFW ppp[1987]: LCP: deflink: State change Opened --> Closing Jun 13 13:46:12 AllenFW ppp[1987]: Phase: deflink: open -> lcp Jun 13 13:46:12 AllenFW ppp[1987]: IPCP: deflink: LayerDown: 172.16.3.200 Jun 13 13:46:12 AllenFW ppp[1987]: Phase: Radius(acct): STOP data sent Jun 13 13:46:12 AllenFW ppp[1987]: Command: pptp: delete!

Things work together because they're aligned consistently and without fluff. I'm certainly in favor of anything that helps the newbie (I'm still a newbie on a lot of fronts myself) without damaging that simple consistency. The trap into which so-called "user-friendly" systems often fall is the idea that we can help make things simpler for the user by just tacking on some wizard or UI that will lead them through the process without making them think about what they're doing. Those specialized, tacked on "helpers" end up creating a nightmare of inconsistent time-wasters that don't provide access to all available options and in the end just obscure the problem rather than simplifying it. A true help for the newbie is something that helps move them out of that status -- something that provides the necessary steps, but also educates the user on what exactly is being done and why. That opens a larger world for future exploration. -- Sterling (Chip) Camden http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com | http://chipsquips.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Create the different share directories as needed and give them the following settings: owner = project leader, group = project group. Then add the users belonging to the project group to that group, so they will be able to access the share. Other groups and people won't have access (u=rw,g=rw,o=nothing). If a user is delegated to another group, remove him from the project group, and add him to his new group. In this way, it's enough for a user to know his own password. > I'm pretty sure you can integrate Samba into such a system, but > how to do it is a Samba related question, not a FreeBSD question. It can easily be done using UFS's user:group and permission system.

Exactly my thinking. Style vs substance -- all the style in the world won't help you one bit unless it's backed by real substance. Unfortunately far too few people are capable of seeing through the surface gloss of style to understand the substance beneath. Style also tends to be rather in the eye of the beholder -- one persons' "exciting and trendy" is another's "annoying and garish"; whereas substance is universal. While most FreeBSD types may not have much use for glitz and glitter, still, FreeBSD does have it's own aesthetic. It's minimal, and spare and it says "We're not going to pretend that this isn't complicated or difficult. Effort brings reward." This is something I find incredibly attractive; even after more than 10 years it is still refreshing.
