Re: Mirroring/load-balance two servers

I'm NOT talking about mirroring the OS and the files, I'm talking about sending http requests to a second server if the first server is down/un-reachable. This is sometimes referred to as load-balancing. The second server doesn't have to be updated in realtime, it just needs to have a fairly current version of the data files of the main server. So, for example if the main server goes off line for any reason, then web pages would be served up from the second server instead. Can this be accomplished with DNS?

Before the kernel update I was able to shutdown the PC with the PowerButton , now the powerbutton does not work. The system doesn't Power Off too now. Appears the Message : The operating system is halted press any key to reboot as if ACPI isn't loaded. I've noticed this problem on linux too, it was a problem of IRQ redirection of ACPI that was placed on IOAPIC edge-triggered (instead of level-triggered ), and this makes the malfunction. This problem on linux is solved on linux by the lastest ACPI patch , is possible to do something on FreeBSD too? Thanks Bye __ Yahoo!

Re: 4.3 - RELENG_4
Ok, everything went reasonably well with cvsup upgrade, buildworld, buildkernel. After installkernel, everything appears to load perfectly, until I try to send data to the box. IPFW barfs on a SIG 11. Assuming that it is loading ok at boot, can I properly assume that this will be repaired when I installworld? What I don't understand is that the kernel I built was the exact same kernel config I rebuilt the old way a month ago. It was then I added ipfw support with: forward verbose verbose_limit=xx and everything was ok. Anyone know why IPFW would just crap out? What part of the changes would affect the way IPFW operates. In your opinion, is it safe to installworld, or should this be further investigated first? Tks.

Jailed BIND not logging
I have lived with this for quite a while, but now that I would like to get
some of my bind logs, I had to ask.
Last summer, I managed to get BIND 9 running in a jail, (howto I generated
is here: http://ww3.northnetworks.ca/docs/named_jail).
It works perfectly fine, but there is no logging taking place. I have fed
syslogd the following in rc.conf:
#syslogd_flags=-s -l /chroot/named/dev/log
I did not make any changes to syslogd.conf.
but the file has never grown past 0 bytes in size. I do get
some named messages in the messages log, despite having the following in
my named.conf:
logging {
channel default_syslog {
syslog daemon; # send to syslog's daemon facility
severity notice; # only send priority info and higher
};
Again, I have lived with it like this so it is not critical, but it makes
it very difficult to debug testing on the server.

IPFW barfs on a SIG 11. What exactly do you mean by this? When you transmit files across the network, you get a sig 11? Or when you try to start the IPFW program at the command line, it sig 11s? The former would worry me. The latter wouldn't. The ipfw firewall code is built into the kernel, but the ipfw command line program that is used to create/manipulate ipfw rules is part of buildworld. It's not unusual for programs that interface directly with the kernel not to work when you're mid-way through the process (i.e. new kernel but old world). I'm guessing what's happening is that the ipfw program can't communicate to ipfw in the kernel and when your startup scrips try to run it, it sig 11s. Thus you end up with ipfw running with no rules, set to deny by default, thus you get no network capbility. Assuming that it is loading ok at boot, can I properly assume that this will be repaired when I installworld? If the scenerio I described above seems to fit, yes. Sounds like things are going well. If you want to be REAL paranoid, you could try rebuilding your kernel with IFPW_DEFAULT_ACCEPT (or whatever that option is) and make sure you have network connectivity before continuing. I wouldn't bother if it were me. It sounds like things are going well. The main thing you're looking for is that the new kernel actually BOOTs.

mount the EXT3 partition appears the message /dev/ad0s2 : Invalid argument ? Maybe it's the wrong partition. How was that ext3 partition called on Linux? Hmm, have a look at the diagramm shown in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-steps.html, example 2-4. I think your partition is called /dev/ad0s2[a-e].

Re: 4.3 - RELENG_4
If the scenerio I described above seems to fit, yes. Sounds like things are going well. If you want to be REAL paranoid, you could try rebuilding your kernel with IFPW_DEFAULT_ACCEPT (or whatever that option is) and make sure you have network connectivity before continuing. I wouldn't bother if it were me. It sounds like things are going well. The main thing you're looking for is that the new kernel actually BOOTs. Drop to single-user mode and do the installworld. I went ahead and did installworld. The IPFW problem dissapeared immediatly. All I had to do was add the smmsp user as per UPDATING, and it went slick from there. Small issues were: - a depricated line in sshd_config, which I manually commented out - sig 11 on nmbd, for which I will upgrade samba (should fix it) All in all, I am very exited as my amanda box now uname -a with FreeBSD-4.8RC, and is back in full production. I have began syncing source on my mission critical boxes, and plan on starting the upgrade on them next week. I did mergemaster on amanda box, but must of did something wrong as afterwards, my /etc/master.passwd file was missing. Copied it back from backup and all is well. mergemaster didn't seem to touch anything except for it, so next time I will likely just do the manual thing. Thanks for all of your help, which gave me the confidence to proceed in this delicate manner.

It depends how dead your disk is: If its completly gone away (disappeared in kernel boot message) your only chance I see is to start searching for the backup. If the disk only has some dead sectors, you can try to clone the data with dd to a new disk. This is slow and cumbersome, and as a result you have some blocks of invalid data on the new disk. The trick with dd is to skip the dead sectors and to use a blocksize of 512. See man dd for the options seek and skip. dd copy blocks until it detects a bad block. Here you have to start over with new seek/skip to jump over the dead sector. So the job would be something like this: - umount vinum fs - stop vinum - add new disk to system - clone old disk with dd to new disk - remove old disk and install new disk instead - new disk: zero first 265 sectors of the slice - disklabel new disk as was the old disk (Handbook: Adding disks) - vinum create -f diskfile (see http://www.vinumvm.org replacing disks) - start vinum - vinum setstate of disks/plex/vol to up - vinum saveconfig - fsck vinum fs - mount vinum fs Changes are good to destroy all data with this steps shown above. Read manpages dd, vinum, disklabel, fdisk. Understand what you do. Think before hitting return. Expect the worst when using the wrong parameters.

Getting started with FreeBSd on a notebook
Hi, I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to BSD but I thought I'd install it on my notebook so that I can do my Zope + PostgreSQL development on it: BeOS doesn't yet have have select() and windows 2k + cygwin isn't so much fun either. I've got FreeBSD 4.6, 4.7 and 5.0 nad have problems with all three. I've checked the FAQs and searched the web but haven't really round anything useful. I was hoping 5.0 would have the best support for my notebook (Sony VAIO GR1114 EK) but I can't even boot properly as the boot hangs on the the cardbus driver. I've been told I can't comment out or bypass the driver as it's hard-coded in the kernel so I'd like to know what I can do. In BeOS we have somethign called failsafe mode which disables pretty much everything except VGA, keyboard and mouse and is quite useful when tracking hardware problems. Is there something similar for FreeBSD? Will I need to recompile the kernal and if yo how do I do this before I can install the OS? I also received 4.6 and 4.7 and tried them. Both boot and install but 4.7 seems to struggle with my Toshiba DVD meaning that it takes about one minute longer to boot each time than 4.6. So I decided just to install 4.6. I'm not after bells and whistles after all. The install runs fine apart from the fact I cannot find drivers for my graphics card (Radeon mobility) for XFree86. I've read somewhere that the ATI drivers didn't make it into the distribution so I tried just a VESA setup. But I get an error when trying to start X-Windows that no monitor can be found. I realise that this is an XFree86 error but having tried all the various approaches and crashing the system with the autoconfigure option I thought it was time to ask the experts.

The change involves a lot. For now, though, FreeBSD is still a monolithic kernel, and people treat it that way even when need does not require it. The other reason I've heard is that KLDs don't run as fast and use more memory than the same functionality compiled into the kernel.

Multiple Apache Ports
Greetings all. Time for me to install another Apache in a different location, so I can have two, differently configured, Apache installs running side-by-side. When I try to install the same port again, however, with a different PREFIX, the pkg system complains that I've already got an Apache installed. Should I force this new install? Earlier, when I worried that this would overwrite information in /var/db/pkg someone kindly advised me not to worry about it, that it wouldn't do this. But how should I handle the exception that's showing? Any advice is appreciated. Peace. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Multiple Apache Ports
Time for me to install another Apache in a different location, so I can have two, differently configured, Apache installs running side-by-side. I have done this successfully by installing from source and running configure with the following: #./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache_prod and on the other: #./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache_test Of course, you will have to decide what other options/modules you want to configure with.

A huge THANK YOU!!!!!
Dear Nigel, Right off the bat, I want to thank you for (humiliating me) solving my problem. No I'm not humiliated, just ticked off that I hadn't thought of what I was doing wrong first. I'll be the first to admit that I'm one of those people who are too used to having the computer (Windows) do everything for me. Once upon a time (about 24 years ago) we had a TRS-80 and HAD to deal with DOS - how I long for those days again, because unfortunately I became Windows brainwashed. I had no inkling as to what an ISO image was, or what it was for, or how to use it. So yes, *cringe* I just burned the ISO image 'file' onto the CD. Amazing what can happen when you know what you're doing. Everything looks as if it is loading okay now. Oops, no not everything. It's telling me that it can't get 'compat4X' and 'port distributions' loaded because it has run out of room. Hmmm. I guess it's time for me to putter around some more, but I'm huge steps ahead of where I was 2 hours ago (and 3 days of banging my head). I don't mind puttering, heck I got my CD-ROM connected properly now (darn computer store techies) after reading through some of the FAQs and letters here. Yeah, it's time-consuming, but I can honestly say I feel like I've learned a great deal already - unfortunately, not about FreeBSD yet :) But hey, it all counts. Was there anything about ISO imaging anywhere that I just missed or slipped over without actually reading? I didn't notice anything on the FreeBSD site or handbook. Nigel, Staples will not be happy with you - they lost a sale of about 50 floppies :) I was just about to head out when I got your e-mail. Again thank you, thank you, thank you. Time to use the rest of the handbook now and start solving the next onslaught of issues. And thanks to the rest that sent their thoughts, suggestions, and condolences :) Just knowing someone else out there was in the same boat at one time sometimes is a help. Best regards, Scott McClellan p.s. to whomever suggested burning at a slower speed, I did try that (albeit by 'burning' the file rather than 'opening' it), so needless to say - but I'll say it anyway - it didn't work, only slower :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Mucked up partitions, can't boot
Doing another experimental 5.0-REL install where I mucked things up due to partitioning by-hand. This is now becoming a learning experience on fixit et al, so although this is just for fun I'd like to carry it through the hard way vs just reinstalling. Anyhow, this system has 4 SCSI disks da0 through da3. I put / on da0, swap on da1, split da2 50/50 with /var and /tmp, then /usr is on da3. For each disk I chose A during slice setup to use entire disk but then partitioned manually once that screen came up. I think what I originally forgot to do was set da0 active as I normally have always just chosen A during partition setup. This system is old and can't boot off CD, but I do have the kern, mfsroot, and fixit floppies. I already tried fdisk -a da0 as well as disklabel -w B da0 but that only made me go from error 1 lba on boot to invalid partition. I confess to not being familiar with these tools... this is my first need to use them. In /dev, I have da0, da0c, da1, da1s1, da1s1b, da1s1c, da2, da2s1, da2s1c, da2s1d, da2s1e, da3, da3s1, da3s1c, da3s1d If I do an fdisk da0 partitions 1-3 are UNUSED and everything is on partition 4, but fdisk da1 through da3 it's partition 1 that has data, and partitions 2-4 are UNUSED. All used partitions are flag 80 (active) according to fdisk (I can't see how to make a partition UN-active, only active). Anyone willing to help me learn and guide me from here? Thanks = Scott I.

mbufs not being freed.
Hello All, I am facing a peculiar problem with the mbufs for the network traffic not being freed on my FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p7 machine. I used to run FreeBSD 4.3 but after rebooting recently, the mbuf count (netstat -m) would keep going up until there was no space left for the packets arriving on the interfaces. I thought that this could be because of the older version of FreeBSD and upgraded to 4.7, but still no luck. Increasing the space for mbuf clusters (kern.ipc.nmbclusters) and mbufs (kern.ipc.nmbufs) only postpones the problem. When the mbufs are all used up, I get the following error: xl0: no memory for rx list -- packet dropped! and the machine stops responding to all network traffic including pings. SPECS: The machine in question is a Dell PC with a 1.5 GHz processor and 512 MB RAM. It has 2 interfaces, a 3 Com builtin on the motherboard and a PCI Netgear card.

I would like to eliminate everything from my kernel config that can be loaded as a module, then load them at boot using loader.conf. Should be possible for a lot of things. Though it seems many need to stay in the kernel, as it is currently written. kld(4) and the pages it refers to should be at least somewhat instructive in figuring out what all can be put in a module. Try reading the developers handbook, it has some of what you're looking for. Is there any reason I would not want to do that? It seems to me that it would make things much easier. Why does FreeBSD not do this by default for the GENERIC kernel? Only things I can think of as to why most things are compiled in are 1) the costs of running a module, instead of compiled in. I don't know how to quantify those. And I didn't see anything in the developer's handbook to answer that. Maybe checking there more carefully would yield some answers. 2) security. In theory for max security you should minimize the interfaces to the kernel. Any loadable module could be a trojan, packet filter, or compromise security in another way. So optimal security would be have every needed component compiled in, and turn off the ability to load any modules. I have no idea if this can be done or how in FreeBSD. kld manpage didn't seem to say anything about this. Keep in mind this is extreme security which isn't terribly important till you get the practical stuff taken care of first. Here is the (in)famous article on it: http://packetstorm.decepticons.org/papers/unix/bsdkern.htm You may want to check the -hackers mailing list archives, as this has been discussed there.

I would like to eliminate everything from my kernel config that can be loaded as a module, then load them at boot using loader.conf. Is there any reason I would not want to do that? It seems to me that it would make things much easier. I would guess there are a number of reasons ... First would be historical. BSD is historically a monolithic kernel. The more you rely on modules, the more the kernel acts like a microkernel. I suspect that some day, FreeBSD will be a microkernel, but I don't expect that to be for many, many releases. The change involves a lot. For now, though, FreeBSD is still a monolithic kernel, and people treat it that way even when need does not require it. The other reason I've heard is that KLDs don't run as fast and use more memory than the same functionality compiled into the kernel. I've never tested this, but I'm guessing that the difference is negligible on modern hardware. Why does FreeBSD not do this by default for the GENERIC kernel? Not sure. The GENERIC kernel needs to support release CD-ROMs. Looking at the logs of GENERIC since day 1, it sems that there are various reasons for putting things in GENERIC and not in modules. a) Some things are put into GENERIC because it's hard to make them work as modules. INET, device ether, etc. b) Other things are absolutely necessary to be able to boot into the installation program. FFS support, MD_ROOT, NFSCLIENT and NFS_ROOT, atapi, scsi and usb device drivers (imagine the frustration of trying to install with a USB keyboard, but without USB support). If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone with better knowledge of the kernel internals will correct me[?]. Bearing this in mind, in 5.X there is now a third floppy disk when installing from floppies. The 'drivers' floppy contains a lot of drivers as modules... so, some effort is being done to modularise things as much as possible :-) - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Installing FreeBSD on older machine on a 20GB Hard Drive
Evenin' folks, I have an old Pentium 120Hz machine that is acting as a firewall/gateway for my network. Recently, the 4GB hard drive started to make strange noises and drive errors started popping up. So I replaced the hard drive with the smallest new hard drive I could get hold of - a 20GB. Straight away, *strange* things started to happen. In the BIOS setup screens, I got it to auto-detect the new drive settings, and got a bit of a surprise. You see it only detected it as a 8GB hard drive. Whats more, when the system booted at the hard drive detection stage, the system locked. I also tried manually entering the correct hard drive settings, but the BIOS would not accept them. Finally, in desperation, I tried entering the drive settings of the old hard drive. Surprisingly, it worked. Or at least, the boot process passed the drive detection stage. I successfully installed FreeBSD and I now have a fully working firewall/gateway machine again. Theres just one problem. When FreeBSD boots, I get the following... -8- Disk error 0x1 (lba=0x14b09f) No /boot/loader FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel -8- After a few seconds, or when I press the enter key, FreeBSD boots as normal, with the following message... -8- WARNING: loader(8) metadata is missing -8- ...followed with the usual config details that show up when you enter the 'dmesg' command. Now I admit that this is fairly minor. The system does boot, and everything else seems to be working as normal, but I would like to get this sorted. From what I can find on the net, I suspect its to do with the boot information not being on the hard drive within the first 1024 cylinders. Anyone know a way to *fix* this? Or if I reinstall fro scratch, will creating the /boot mount point, and setting it to a size of 1024 cylinders work? Any help you folks could provide would be great!

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one. II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions == When you subscribed to FreeBSD-questions, you got a welcome message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In this message, amongst other things, it told you how to unsubscribe. Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions mailing list! If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list, you can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following command in the body of your email message: unsubscribe freebsd-questions Greg Lehey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here's the general information for the list you've subscribed to, in case you don't already have it: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS User questions This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send how to questions to the technical lists unless you consider the question to be pretty technical. Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2. You're subscribed to a mailing list which is subscribed to FreeBSD-questions. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out which one it is and get your name taken off that one. If you're not sure which one it might be, check the headers of the messages you receive from freebsd-questions: maybe there's a clue there. If you've done all this, and you still can't figure out what's going on, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and he will sort things out for you. Don't send a message to FreeBSD-questions: they can't help you.

This command usually works fine on a relatively wide xterm, but if you're running on an 80-column terminal, it may truncate exactly the information you're looking for, so you end up with no output.

The Complete FreeBSD, third edition: errata and addenda
Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition Last revision: 2 August 1999 The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, ``The Complete FreeBSD'', published by Walnut Creek, is no exception. In- evitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The following is a list of modifications which go beyond simple typos. They relate to the third edition, formatted on 17 May 1999. You'll find this information on page iv (the page before the beginning of the Table of Contents). See the end of this document for instructions on how to find the errata for an older version. You can get the current document in four forms: o A PostScript version, suitable for printingout,at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-3.ps.

If you find a Page 1 The Complete FreeBSD bug or a suspected bug in the book, please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Page ii ___ The instructions on page ii (opposite the title page) tell you to look at ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/cfbsd/errata-2 for the errata list. That's wrong. Look at this list. Pages 190 and 191 _ The description is not very clear about which text appears when booting from floppy for initial install, and which appears when booting normally. The procedure is very similar, but there are some differences. Add the following text after the heading Boot messages: You'll boot your system in at least two different ways: initially you'll boot from floppy or CD-ROM in order to install the system. Later, after the system is installed, you'll boot from hard disk. The procedure is almost identical, so we'll look at both versions in the following examples. Replace the text from the middle of page 191 with: If you're booting from 1.44 MB floppies, you will then see: Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter: When you insert the MFS root floppy and press Enter, you see more twirling batons, then the UserConfig screen appears. UserConfig: Modifying the boot configuration After the kernel has been loaded, the following screen will appear if you are installing the system, or if you have requested it with the -c option to the boot loader: Page 206 The bottom two lines on this page should be in bold constant font, indicating that this is input for your /etc/rc.config file Page 2 Errata and addenda for the Complete FreeBSD, third edition nfs_client_enable=YES # This host is an NFS client (or NO). nfs_server_enable=YES # This host is an NFS server (or NO). Page 265 The example on the second half of the page refers to the old SCSI driver. The scsi program is no longer available in FreeBSD 3.x. Instead, use the camcontrol program. Replace the text with:. Modern disks make provisions for recovering from such errors by allocating an alternate sector for the data. IDE drives do this automatically, but with SCSI drives you have the option of enabling or disabling reallocation. Usually it is turned on when you buy them, but occasionally it is not. When installing a new disk, you should check that the parameters ARRE (Auto Read Reallocation Enable) and AWRE (Auto Write Reallocation Enable) are turned on. For example, to check and set the values for disk da1, you would enter: # camcontrol modepage da1 -m 1 -e -P 3 # scsi -f /dev/rda1c -m 1 -e -P 3 This command will start up your favourite editor (either the one specified in the EDITOR environment variable, or vi by default) with the

Re: Multiple Apache Ports
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], John McClure [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: When I try to install the same port again, however, with a different PREFIX, the pkg system complains that I've already got an Apache installed. Should I force this new install? Earlier, when I worried that this would overwrite information in /var/db/pkg someone kindly advised me not to worry about it, that it wouldn't do this. But how should I handle the exception that's showing? I think that was me that told you that, and I had the impression you were installing two different versions of Apache in the different places, not just the same version in two different places. The latter case is different, and the package database will get clobbered by that. I'd add a PORTREVISION to the port, setting it to 2. That will cause the second apache package to have a different name (with an _2 appended) and avoid the problem. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

Re: Mucked up partitions, can't boot
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Scott I. Remick [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: Doing another experimental 5.0-REL install where I mucked things up due to partitioning by-hand. This is now becoming a learning experience on fixit et al, so although this is just for fun I'd like to carry it through the hard way vs just reinstalling. Anyhow, this system has 4 SCSI disks da0 through da3. I put / on da0, swap on da1, split da2 50/50 with /var and /tmp, then /usr is on da3. For each disk I chose A during slice setup to use entire disk but then partitioned manually once that screen came up. You really should split swap up in that kind of situation. I.e. - put var and half of swap on da1, and tmp and the rest of swap on da2. The kernel will interleave swap usage across both spindles for better performance if you do that. Anyone willing to help me learn and guide me from here? Thanks Well, you didn't describe a problem, and you didn't ask a question. It's hard to provide guidance without some indication of where you are and are trying to go. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.

This doesn't mean that I think making things into KLDs makes the kernel a microkernel. I understand that there are other characteristics of microkernels that are seperate from the simple idea of loadable kernel modules. All I'm saying is that KLDs are a move away from the traditional compiled-in monolithic kernel. That move is in the direction of microkernel. It's a long ways away yet, but it's pointing that direction. Whether comment #2 ever becomes reality or not remains to be seen. Besides, Windows claims to be a microkernel and it doesn't act like one at all ... hell, any change you make requires a reboot.

Re: DHCP Server learning name servers since server itself is dhcp'd??
Philip Hallstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi all - I'm setting up a server/gateway on a cable modem whose external interface has to use DHCP. There will be several clients on the internal network and the gateway will be running isc-dhcp. I know I can setup a nameserver on the gateway and configure DHCP to send it's own IP as the nameserver to use, but I was wondering if there is a way to have the dhcp server get the name server values from say /etc/resolv.conf? You should be able to do that by writing a dhclient hook (see the manual for dhclient-script(8) for info), but I don't have a recipe at hand, as I've long since gone to running my own nameserver for other reasons. Alternatively is there a way to dynamically tell BIND to get it's forwarders list from /etc/resolv.conf? This could be done pretty much the same way. I thought I'd done it on my system, but as I look at named.conf, I don't seem to have ever finished the shell script to auto-generate the named.conf file. Bind 8 doesn't have a sufficiently powerful include mechanism to do this neatly. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
FreeBSD (4.5-to-4.7) Binary Upgrade Mishap
Recently tried to upgrade my 4.5 box using the 4.7 CDs and ran into a problem which left me with a partially upgraded system. I have a 14 GB hard disk so I chose to load all of the canned distributions. During the early stages of the upgrade, I received a message indicating that /usr/src was not loaded and should be upgraded using the CVSup instead. OK. The next set of messages were more problematic and appeared in the following order: Add of packages freetype2-2.1.1 aborted, error code 1 Loading of dependent package freetype2-2.1.2 failed Loading of dependent package XFree86 -libraries -4.2.1-1 failed Loading of dependent XFree86-FontServer -4.2.0 failed The next message appeared after the program was ...making slices...: Hmmm, couldn't even extract the bin distribution. Start over. So, I did...three times not realizing that my original kernel was being trashed along with my config files. I'm a newbie of sorts and I've spent the last week fussing and fuming over the time wasted so far with, what I thought, should have been a relatively simple process. I'm over it and ready to move on. I ran the upgrade again, this time leaving out anything to do with the X System. It ran successfully (?) however, I need to restore/reinstall certain files this weekend to make it whole again. What did I miss? Does one have to become an expert to work with this OS? BTW, I did back up my 4.5 system before attempting the upgrade. Thanks.

Well even after reading the biggest hairiest warning that binary upgrade can trash your system and leave you with a completely unable to work system, you still did it? BTW, I did back up my 4.5 system before attempting the upgrade. That seems the best choice you made. Binary upgrade has never worked well that I know of. I think because the source upgrade method works so well. So i would either back up and reinstall (easiest), or do a source rebuild from where you are at. But if your system is working then just go ahead and use it. if not, upgrade. I would expect you will have problems after a binary upgrade, but who knows. If you want to do the source upgrade, see the chapter in the www.freebsd.org/handbook on cutting edge. Even if you don't want to go to -current or -stable, the same method outlined there will work to rebuild your system. have fun, and think of all you're learning!

First off, if anyone can point me to information in lieu of a direct answer, that would be just as helpful. I've searched Apple's site, google at large and the chaos at the mkisofs homepage. Well you help lots of us here, so I'll make a feeble attempt. The only thing I can think of is some pretty generic advice. Try simplifying the problem and breaking it up into it's components till you get to the cause. Then try new versions of the software you're running. What version of netatalk are you running? how about mkisofs? That's something I didn't think of. The Netatalk version is getting pretty old. I have tried a number of things already. I tend to suspect OS X itself rather heavily, as it's the only thing that changed (these folkes upgraded from OS 9 to OS X over the last few months). But the guy at the office claimed the CDs aren't correct on OS 9 now either. Here's the problem: FreeBSD server that serves files up for Windows and Mac OS X machines (using Samba and Netatalk). It has a CD burner in it that is used to archive old projects. I have a perl script written that presents a GUI that a user can pick a directory and click a button to burn it to CD. FreeBSD is 4.4, cdrtools is 2.0. Here is the command I'm using to burn the CD: output = `/usr/local/bin/mkisofs -J -r -apple --netatalk -allow-multidot -allow-lowercase $target | /usr/local/bin/cdrecord speed=16 dev=4,0 -` am I getting this right, you're pulling the data over the network using netatalk and then burning it on the freebsd server? Try eliminating pulling it over netatalk if possible. No. The data is on the FreeBSD server and was put there by Netatalk (this is their file server) and I'm burning it right off the server. The result is a CD that works fine on FreeBSD and Windows, but on Mac OS X it shows all the files and directorys just fine, but the data is corrupt. It appears as though the resource fork is fine, as images have a viewable thumbnail, but the data itself is unusable. Have you tried mounting the iso using vnconfig and seeing if the data is readable that way? On Mac OS? No, haven't tried that. How about making the ISO on the Mac and then burning it (on either the Mac machine or the FreeBSD machine.) We're trying to avoid that. The idea is to have the archiving done at the server so it doesn't tie up a client machine. Has anyone else seen this, or has any thoughts as to what I might be doing wrong. The biggest irritation is that it used to work just fine, and I don't remember changing anything. Hmm, that is a bummer. I had weird problems when I used netatalk, but it was never important to me so I never tried hard to fix it. Another thought, if you're using MacOS X, why not try NFS instead of netatalk? It's something to try. I think with the OS X machines they're actually connecting through Samba now. I have a workaround now. If I disable all the Apple options when the disk is burned, I end up with a pure Rockridge/Joliet CD that the Mac interprets fine. They don't have fancy icons or resource forks, but at least the data is readable. The client isn't up for spending any more money to research this, but I'm interested to see what's wrong. If anyone has any suggestions, I have a Mac here, and I can burn CDs off FreeBSD to test things. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
