RE: Multiple network cards with IP addresses in the same network
I realise that this question has gone on further than the point at which I am replying, but I believe it is around here that everything seems to go astray. From my fairly primitive understanding of the TCP stack in FreeBSD, it would seem that in the case of two network cards being on the same subnet, one is designated as the 'primary' card (if you like) -- in this case, 192.168.0.1, and the other the 'secondary' card -- 192.168.0.2. The primary card is assigned the address 192.168.0.1/24, and will be used to send data to that designated subnet, and receive packets as per normal to its assigned ip address. The secondary card (with the address 192.168.0.2/32) will only be used for receiving data, because the subnet mask does not allow packets to be sent to any address other than that card itself. Linux must therefore use another means by which to determine which interface is used to send packets: my guess would be (in the given example, the eth0 interface, whilst the eth0:0 'alias' is only used to receive data?) As for the gateways, AFAIK, since two devices can only communicate within their own subnets, an interface must be assigned a valid IP address in the same subnet as the router, so that interface can communicate WITH the router itself, which can then route the packets to another wan/lan/whatever.

I want to run different services on the 2 different IP addresses. In a linux system, I do: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 So that I have 2 different addresses bound to the same interface. On FreeBSD, if I do: ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias That fails. It should fail, you should enter: # ifconfig fxp0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias In this situation you can ignore the /32 netmask, it will act as /24. The ifconfig manpage states that a nonconflicting netmaks must be used for the alias, and suggests to use 0x. I don't understand why, because I don't see why one network interface cannot have more than one address bound to it within the same network. If I use a /32 netmask for the alias address, how will the kernel respond to arp requests for that alias address? arp requests for .2 will be handled properly by the kernel as if it were /24. 2. Adding a second IP to a *different* network card in the same server does not work if the second IP is within the network of the first one. Because it breaks routing and the basic concept of IP addys and netmasks. If you have two NICs on the same network, how is the kernel supposed to route packets? I still don't understand. In a linux system I can do: route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254 dev eth0 route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 192.168.0.254 dev eth1 To my knowledge, this is a Linux feature. Solaris, *BSD, and others don't let you specify the network interface when you add a route. I know for a fact under Solaris that when you have 2 interfaces which live in the same subnet, the interface with the lowest numbered IP will be the interface used for outbound traffic. All I want to do is to have 2 different IP addresses on each of the different interfaces in the server, where the addresses are in the same network. I can do it in linux. Why can't I do it in FreeBSD? Good question. I'd defer this anwser to someone a bit more intimate with FreeBSD's IP stack and routing.

If you haven't already I can recommend reading the following chapter in the Handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html I'd never attempted building the source on FreeBSD or used CVSUP before reading this chapter. It contained everything that was required. There is a specific section on using make buildworld and the correct procedure for rebuilding a FreeBSD machine. Phil.

You'd have to poll using ioctl(fd, TIOCMGET, int) and detect CTS

following (untested) sample program should be easy to adapt to your

}

My own take on this: it should work, and performance shouldn't be markedly different from a 3 SCSI disk config. How you actually use it depends very much on your intended use, though. Well, the plans have changed, the SCSI drives will be some IMB's at 10K rpm but of 36G. As i don't think the database will grow more that 2G in the next year I'm thinking in doing mirroring and striping on them (as some other poster suggested), and use the IDE as a back-up boot solution in case of something goes wrong with them and sync it manually at the end of the day.

learning to compile and installing sources without using the ports collection
Hey, Hi, I'm using xfce 3.8.18 (from ports collection). I download the sources of xfce4 from cvs and wanted to compile the stuff! Like they mentionned it: ./configure than make (but I get an error message)! I'm using FreeBSD 4.7-release Well honestly I'm a *NIX newbie (coming from Windows) and I'm not a programmer! I would really like to learn how to download sources and compile and install stuff by myself (without using the ports collections)! I do understand that I might leave my Freebsd system unstable or even unusable after installing Software! I would like to be able not to be only dependant of the ports-collection, to do that, you need to be able to compile stuff correctly but I need some help or doc? Where can I start? I had a quick look at the porters-handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/index.html Is that ports-handbook the place to start? Isn't it meant for a programmer? May be someone has some tips about how to compile and install the xfce4 modules on freebsd 4.7-RELEASE, what do I have to take care? What should you watch or pay attention when compiling etc... What are the concret difficulties? Do you have recommendations about a good doc for non-programmers about how to learn how to do that? Any good link where I could start? Do you really have to be a programmer to be able to do that? Is it mission impossible for someone without programmer knowledge? Many many thanks for any kind of hints/help link etc...!

FreeBSD is a complete system, not a collection of projects that are put together by people building distributions. I don't believe you can easily download *just* libc. The documentation is included as man pages in the source tree. It's not clear what the best way to get the soruces is. You can go somewhere like: URL: ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.7-RELEASE/src/ and get slib.*. Those files can be cat'ed togeter, ungzip'ed and the untarred. You can also try fetching the sources from the CVS server. Be aware that you WILL NOT be able to use standard Linux utilities with the FreeBSD libc. There was a project to tweak the FreeBSD user code - libraries and commands - to run on a Linux kernel. I'm not sure what happened to it.

(I still don't see why any BIOS would have trouble with a DD disk, leading to DD's deprecation, but I can just take people's word for it, for the task at hand.) BTW, I've seen both of your options referred to as DD, if I understood it right. There are BIOSes out there that check sector 0, and fail to recognize the disk if it if the MBR doesn't conform to their idea of valid. Some of them will overwite sector 0 with a valid MBR in that case. I've had this happen to me, meaning my disk was fried every time I rebooted the system - until I turned off the Virus protection feature of the BIOS. (C) Dedicated format using dummy slice ... One such as would be created by disklabel -B. (/boot/boot1 seems to have the fourth slice pre-defined.) This differs from B only in the slice table, right? The disklabel manpage implies that this is a DD. Yes, the slice table is the only difference. This is what you get if you install a dangerously dedicated disk with the i386 installer. In fact, I've got one here: Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 0, size 17942584 (8761 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 1023/ head 17/ sector 4 The data for partition 2 is: UNUSED The data for partition 3 is: UNUSED The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED It seems that a DD disk is one which is similar to a single slice starting at sector 0, regardless of what the slice table part of sector 0 contains. With FreeBSD-standard boot code and some BIOSes, one disk layout (ie, DD or sliced) will work better than the other. (And for DD disks, some slice table contents might work better than others. I've not read anything comparing your B and C or either with a slice table full of zeros or random bits.) As you can see, it's sector 1, not sector 0.

No. No. No. No. But you have to have an attitude that allows you to spend time solving nasty little problems that frequently occur. As soon as you've learned the basics of using the tools (tar, configure, make) from the command line, then find a site or book that teaches make and spend a few hours learning that at least enough to read Makefiles; one frequently needs to debug them to run on your system.

Re: freebsd ports index (perl) searcher browser
last time i sent URLs for a perl program to search/browse ports index. a quite annoying bug was present in version 0.01; when -find=build-dep option was given, program would have produced use of uninitialized value error messages. it is fixed in version 0.02. i would like it much if people having difficulty using the program (besides the absence of standard perl modules which can be installed from ports collection) tell me so. please send your comments such directly to me, saving the list from much off topic messages.

/dev/ums0 busy, moused disabled
Hello All I'm using a USB mouse on my 4.7-RELEASE box and I'm seeing strange behavior. In short, when I boot the system, I need to immediately 'shutdown now' to single-user mode and then 'exit' back to multiuser mode to get the mouse to work. When the machine first boots, X will not load as /dev/ums0 is busy. lsof and cat return: # cat /dev/ums0 cat: /dev/ums0: Device busy # lsof | grep ums moused 97root3u VCHR 111,00t0 40 /dev/ums0 Now, the only moused line I have in /etc/rc.conf is: moused_enable=NO and yet it's still running after system boot. Somehow bouncing to singleuser mode and then back clears it up. How can I debug this? Where is moused getting started? Note that once I come back to multi-user lsof shows no processes using /dev/ums0 and X starts just fine. Thanks - JB PS: The 'cat /dev/ums0' trick I got from the Internet. When it's working, if you cat the device and move the mouse around you get a lot of gibberish in the terminal, it's a quick device test. # John Bleichert # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: port/ftp/mirror-2.9 Out of memory! message--some progress
Tom Parquette [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Lowell Gilbert wrote: Tom Parquette [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm getting an Out of memory! message from the mirror (/usr/ports/ftp/mirror-2.9) port trying to update a large archive. I've tried a number of things but I can't resolve this. Any suggestions? hitting a limits(1) limit? Lowell, I've been playing with this on and off for a few days. Your question, I think, put me onto something. I've been rerunning the mirror command with top running. mirror fails with the memory size around 520m consistantly. Limits gives me a datasize limit of 524288kb. (Close enough for me!) I've come to the conclusion that the man page would benefit from some examples. I've been trying to raise the datasize limit but it does not seem to take. Example: limits -B -d 4g mirror.sh... still blows up with memory values, from top, around 520m (give or take a little.) You've gotten me looking in the right area. All I have to do now is get the override to work. Can anybody provide any insights on how to actually do this? You need to change the maximum limit; this is best done by modifying login.conf(5) (and rebuilding the database). One of the uses of these limits is as a security issue, so the user can't raise the limits above the given maximum level themselves. At .5GB, though, you may be hitting a kernel limit; I know that MAXDSIZ defaults to something like 128MB. Getting to 4GB on a 32-bit machine is probably not practical anyway. I'd recommend using something more efficient than mirror, or at least figuring a way to break the replication up into smaller pieces. A half-gigabyte is a ludicrous amount of memory space to be using for any such task. [I kind of suspect a memory leak in the application, based on those numbers.] Good luck.

Consider that you're probably going to provide a license over only one or two things: non-exclusive rights to create copies and derivatives and to publish them. Everything else is conditions and terms. If you want to be generous, waive your copyrights, or use a BSDish license. If you want to punish closed-source developers or require their payment in money or cross-licensing, use a copyleft/GPLish license. If you want to be selfish, use a closed-souce license. These are gross simplifications, of course. A lawyer would probably want you to have a much longer license than BSDish licenses, even to achieve the same general effect. Consult one.

The reasoning behind my questions is the fact that you mentioned that *both* rl0 rl1 are connected to the same hub. Hubs are devices that provide for sharing collision domains on a subnet - hosts / nodes that on the same subnet all see the same traffic. FreeBSD (under normal circumstances) would not allow you to have multiple nics configured with IP addrs within the same subnet.

ipfw/natd questions
now i'm trying to set up a gateway box using ipfw/natd. i have 2 test machines -
machine 1 has two nics, one's an integrated intel 1000 pro, the other is an old pci
3com 3c905b. machine 1 has a static ip and hostname. machine 2 is virtually identical
except it has only one nic - the intel 1000 pro integrated. machine 2 also has a
static ip and hostname. i'd like machine 1 to act as a gateway/packet filtering
firewall/natd box. i'd like to hook up machine 2 to the internal network interface
card of machine 1 and be able to filter/log/divert packets bound for machine 2 through
ipfw/natd on machine 1.

GNOME 2.0 on FreeBSD 4.6 new installation
I'm sure this is a simply question that most people can answer, but I could use a little help. I'm trying to make a transfer from Microsoft systems to Unix systems, and am now trying to learn FreeBSD. To this end, I have used the MINI-ISO installation CD and FTP server to get my BSD box up and running. I have select only the package that I plan on using for the installation. X is up and running using twm, but I can't seem to get GNOME to run. I used the make clean followed by make clean install method to install GNOME, and it seemed to work. My basic question is how do I start GNOME? I've tried used gnome-session, but that doesn't seem to work correctly. I've used the 'startx' script to access X, then tried 'gnome-session' from a xterm windows, but that didn't work quite right either. Any ideas you can give me would be greatly helpful. Thanks!

Re: Increase memory limit ?
Thanks, Chuck, Which file should I put in the following ? Frank 32-bit systems implementing VM typically could increase user-mode address space up to 2 GB, although variants on that and other things (ie, where devices get mapped into memory) make that only an approximation. For FreeBSD: # Certain applications can grow to be larger than the 128M limit # that FreeBSD initially imposes. Below are some options to # allow that limit to grow to 256MB, and can be increased further # with changing the parameters. MAXDSIZ is the maximum that the # limit can be set to, and the DFLDSIZ is the default value for # the limit. MAXSSIZ is the maximum that the stack limit can be # set to.

Re: Increase memory limit ?

And how much swap? I forgot. Any command to check that ? pstat -s. But it was the line below the one you quoted from top. I vaguely remember it's about 2 times of physical memory as recommended by BSD. So it should be about 512MB. How much should I set it, in this case now ? It depends on what you need. I need a lot of memory. In your case, I'd create more swap. But first you should see how much you're using. I tried to increase the above limits but failed. They seem to be already the maximum. No, you need to set them in /etc/login.conf. Here is what I see in this file. It seems already maximum. :cputime=unlimited:\ :datasize=unlimited:\ :stacksize=unlimited:\ :memorylocked=unlimited:\ :memoryuse=unlimited:\ :filesize=unlimited:\ :coredumpsize=unlimited:\ :openfiles=unlimited:\ :maxproc=unlimited:\ :sbsize=unlimited:\ :priority=0:\ That's not the entire file. There are multiple classes. But this doesn't seem to be your issue. The real issue is why your simulation is dying. Do you have any messages in /var/log/messages indicating that you're out of swap? Yes. Here is what I found in the log: Dec 30 01:05:05 machi /kernel: pid 28666 (simulation), uid 1000, was killed: out of swap space Dec 30 01:05:05 machi /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed So, how can I increase swap space? Create another swap partition. If you really can't do that, you'll have to create a vnode device with vnconfig(8), but I don't recommend that. In this case, yes, adding more memory might solve the problem. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

Re: entropy
From: http://people.freebsd.org/~bmah/relnotes/5.0-RELEASE/relnotes-i386.html The random(4) device has been rewritten to use the Yarrow algorithm. It harvests entropy from a variety of interrupt sources, including the console devices, Ethernet and point-to-point network interfaces, and mass-storage devices. Entropy from the random(4) device is now periodically saved to files in /var/db/entropy, as well as at shutdown time. The semantics of /dev/random have changed; it never blocks waiting for entropy bits but generates a stream of pseudo-random data and now behaves exactly as /dev/urandom. - aW Entropy is a tendency towards disorder in the universe, exemplified by things LIKE SOME FREAKIN' CLUELESS GIT POSTING A TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC SCIENCE MESSAGE TO A COMPUTER OS LIST!!!

FreeBSD 4.7 cannot fit to 200MB disk!!
Hello! I tried to install FreBSD 4.7 on i486@133 with 16MB of Ram and 200MB disk. W95 worked nice on that machine. I failed to install a minimal configuration of FreeBSD on such hardware!! Is it ok? I wanted only basic console... I noticed that many source files (*.h) were instaled to my disk. Is it ok?? From my point of view, instalation could be more scalable, minimal could be more minimal. This is not a big problem for me, I will run W95 on my old pc as I did. I was only suprised how big modern FreeBSD is. Is it necessary? I like new programs, more options, but I would like to have an option to add them only when I need them. Thanks for FreeBSD!

I have given both NICs the same address because they are both on the same machine - is this right or wrong? In your earlier message, you mentioned that rl0 is connected to a cable modem and rl1 is connected to a lan. rl0 should have a different IP address.., indeed a different network altogether as against rl1. To make life easier, you should configure rl1 with another completely different RFC1918 IP address. So if you're using 192.168.x.x for rl0, use an IP addr from the 172.16.x.x or 10.x.x.x ranges for rl1. Your set up appears to be that of a gateway. If so, google for dual homed hosts and have a read of what is required to set it all up. Hope this helps.

RE: How do I monitor the serial CTS line via C programmatically?
Thanks Giorgos!
I needed to know the function used to access the Serial ports under FreeBSD.
Your program compiles, but generates the following error msg when run:
test_prog: ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Thanks to the ioctl 'tip', I researched around, and found that the serial
port needed opening, so this is the finished code (just in case someone else
needs it):
#include sys/ioctl.h
#include errno.h
#include fcntl.h
#include termios.h /*Originally it was termio.h*/
#include stdio.h
#include unistd.h
int
main(void)
{
int bits;
int last;
int dcf_dev;
if((dcf_dev = open(/dev/cuaa1, O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY)) 0)
{
perror(open /dev/cuaa0);
return (-1);
}
if (ioctl(dcf_dev, TIOCMGET, bits) == -1)
err(1, ioctl);
last = bits TIOCM_CTS;
printf(CTS %s.\n, last ? on : off);
while (1) {
if (ioctl(dcf_dev, TIOCMGET, bits) == -1)
err(1, ioctl);
if ((last ^ (bits TIOCM_CTS)) != 0) {
last = bits TIOCM_CTS;
printf(CTS %s.\n, last ? on : off);
}
usleep(10);
}
return (0);
}
Brilliant!! :-)
Thanks for that!
Cheers,
Paul Hamilton

Is there a FreeBSD way?
You'd have to poll using ioctl(fd, TIOCMGET, int) and detect CTS
changes by checking the TIOCM_CTS bit in the returned value. The
following (untested) sample program should be easy to adapt to your
needs. When TIOCM_CTS changes from on to off or vice versa, the
program should print the change.
#include sys/ioctl.h
#include stdio.h
#include unistd.h
int
main(void)
{
int bits;
int last;
if (ioctl(0, TIOCMGET, bits) == -1)
err(1, ioctl);
last = bits TIOCM_CTS;
printf(CTS %s.\n, last ? on : off);
while (1) {
if (ioctl(0, TIOCMGET, bits) == -1)
err(1, ioctl);
if ((last ^ (bits TIOCM_CTS)) != 0) {
last = bits TIOCM_CTS;
printf(CTS %s.\n, last ? on : off);
}
usleep(10);
}
return (0);

How can data be inserted into a MySQL DB using C code?
Hi All, Step one was collecting the data, Step two is to somehow get the info into a MySQL DB. I am monitoring a serial port's CTS line, and need to get the fact that it's changed state logged into the DB. I can use C and/or PHP. Perl is beyond me :-( (I have trouble enough just trying to add Perl modules). The C program runs continuously, monitoring the CTS bit, so I thought it would be nice to dump the info straight into the MySQL DB. As a backup, I suppose, I could dump the 'date/time' and 'CTS-Open-Closed' into a text file, then once a day, run a PHP script to import the files contents into the MySQL DB. However, that means I wouldn't get any live data. I know there is the MySQL++ project, but I had problems trying to get that to function, and my C++ knowledge is negligible. Any help, or tips would be grateful. Cheers, Paul Hamilton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
