Re: user-ppp, named and squid
yup, host.conf has = hosts bind = in this order. unfortunately host.conf is no longer used. it creates a file called nsswitch.conf and in it I have the same but written in a different way = names: files dns = as I said the strangest thing is that ppp works fine but as soon as I enable named in the rc.conf it hangs at startup. and the other way around, when I enable named and disable ppp machine starts fine... the only way is to use the work around...

Annoyingly, this means GL apps lock my system [...] Not sure what is going on here but the HAL module is not necessary to run GL apps, at least not on my G400. It could be different on a G200 but I doubt it. Do you have DRI enabled in XF86Config? If so, verify that direct rendering is on. You can check by running glxinfo and examining the output. Near the top of the output is a line that will tell you if direct rendering is on. That would be the first step. glxinfo indeed reports direct rendering enabled and good to go... and it isn't.

I have found that if you don't force, it only updates the ports that have changed. It doesn't take care of the full b-dep dependancy list. Hmmm... now, that's interesting. I did portupgrade of imake (without any special options) before upgrading XFree86 as I needed to use the computer (WinXP) and had to wait until off hours to upgrade the rest. So, I'm wondering if that did not mess up something. I did notice that KDE3 was up-to-date and did not need upgrading, but I caught something about KDE3 upgrade on one of the computers. Does that mean that imake is reponsible somehow for upgrading KDE3? What is the switch to force the upgrade? How did the upgrade of imake lead to the rebuild of kde-3? I see that I only replied to you and not the list. You have to use something like portupgrade -pufr imake.

This leaves a lot of ports linked to old XFree86 libraries. The libraries are probably used dynamicaly but the header files that went along with them have been updated. I believe in a KISS simple, clean setup and will always rebuild anything that has an updated port as an b-dep. The only thing I ignore are utilities such as imake. An upgrade of imake doesn't justify rebuilding everything in my mind; however, a major update of XFree86-libraries is a different matter. If you use -rf, you will update everything in the required by list. It will also take a long time :).

Port Forwarding FreeBSD 4.7_Release
Hi there, I've been trying to route packets received on port via the external interface (used by NAT) of my FreeBSD gateway to the same port on a local machine.

Well, there is some possibility that it's just a one-time hiccup. More likely, the drive has already exhuasted it's supply of replacement blocks, as modener drives do bad block remapping all by themselves. In the latter case, the drive is about to fail catastrophically. At the very least, I'd keep a very close eye on the drive, and double-check my backups if I saw that happen to one of my drives. Depending on how critical that system is, I may have a backup ready, or replace the drive under controlled conditions before things get worse. I completly agree with Mike. We have lots of IDE disks running under FreeBSD and made some experience. Here are some additional Tips: 1. The disk may still run for some days and then fail completly with a kernel hang, as Mike wrote above. 2. Switching the system off and on may force the final shutdown of the disk. 3. try doing a backup with PIO mode on as long as the disk is willing to talk to you 4. download the diagnosis tool from the disk manufacturer and do a deep test. According to your message I expect the diagnosis will detect errors. Check the drive guarantee. 5. Cable and connector problems usually show up as UDMA CRC error with falling back to PIO. In this case try to downclock the UDMA mode with atacontrol mode (FreeBSD 4.6 ? and above). with best regards Alexander -- Alexander Haderer Charite Berlin - Germany To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Re: problem on 1TB filesystem RAID 5 3ware
Not solved this yet, but I have determined a few things that the problem isn't.

Tests ran perfectly. details on hardware config at: http://www.freebsd.uwaterloo.ca/twiki/bin/view/Freebsd/BackupServerHardware Then, I was ready to put the systems into production, so I copied data from my 2 older backup servers (which have 360GB vinum partitions) and after copying the data (approx 250GB in 325 files) about a dozen files were corrupt after the copy. I copied via an NFS mount. All corruption started on a 64K boundary, except one which was on a 16K boundary. Recopied the dozen corrupt files, and then only 6 were corrupt. Same problem on both systems, each which copied from a different source server. File seems corrupt to the end after first corruption starts, I have not looked for a pattern to see if it is another files contents, or misplaced contents from the same file. fsck shows no problems Restarted my test filling with 50GB files again, has run perfectly. I plan to try: - turn off soft updates - RAID 10 instead of 5 - different file system parameters, for example I don't need 100 million inodes. - rcp'ing the files - staring at computer screen By the way, 3ware has not officially approved the WD 200GB drive last time I checked.

How to install 5.0 using a DAC960?
Good day, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE on a NEC machine with a Mylex DAC960 RAID controller. The machine was running Red Hat Linux before, and I've done a number of FreeBSD installations, so I didn't expect any problems. The install goes fine, however, after the reboot the machine immediately hangs at the Boot Manager prompt. The errata page for 5.0-RELEASE mentions: mly(4) Hangs were reported during FreeBSD 5.0 snapshot installations when installing to mly(4)-supported RAID arrays, in hardware configurations that appear to work fine under FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. These problems have been corrected in FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT. This certainly appears to match the symptoms, however the documentation says the DAC960 uses the mlx driver, not the mly driver (and the mlx driver was the one I loaded from the driver disk during the install). In the hopes that this was the same problem, I tried looking for snapshots for 5.0-CURRENT newer than -RELEASE on the various mirror sites, just so that I could get the install done, but none were found. My only other thought was to install from 4.X and upgrade to 5.0, but I think that would be far too messy considering their differences. We also have other machines of varying hardware to install on, but they all use DAC960 RAID controllers too. How can I actually get FreeBSD 5.0-anything on this machine? Please reply if there's any other information that I could supply.

It seems a bit bloated and I certainly don't need all the stuff that is in there... Delete everything in /usr/ports/distfiles. And before you go to bed one night do a make clean from /usr/ports. It takes some time... Another option is to add the following to your make.conf ( 5.x: /etc/make.conf 4.x: /etc/defaults/make.conf ) No! 4.x is /etc/make.conf as well. It just doesn't have one by default, whereas 5.x does. You should *never* edit anything in /etc/defaults. Ok... so why in 5.x does make.conf no longer live in /etc/defaults as well? The copy in /etc/defaults was never anything more than documentation on what could go there.

Arplookup - what gives ?
Greetings, I have posted several questions regarding an arplookup failure message I have been receiving. I have google'd until my eyes are falling out, and have found nothing that explains how to FIX the problem. I am running 4.7-stable on a box. It is my firewall, nat box. ep0 is connected to my ISP's dsl. ep1 is connected to my internal private LAN. My internal lan uses the private ip addresses 192.168.1.x. I have two machines on my internal lan, not including the firewall box. I am getting /kernel arplookup failure: 10.1.1.1 not on local network. my ISP assigns a real IP to my ep0 interface usings dhcp. what is causing this and how do I stop it ? I have added a rule to block 10.x.x.x in, but it has not stopped the messages. I can ping 10.1.1.1, and if I down ep0, I cannot ping 10.1.1.1. I have alerted my ISP to this problem (thought 10.x.x.x weren't suppose to be routed). thanks Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Rather than re-invent the wheel, I went looking at the ports and saw this: mpich-1.2.4_1. Is this all? (It seemed awfully complex for my tastes.)

I have added a rule to block 10.x.x.x in, but it has not stopped the messages. That kind of makes sense, because ARP isn't IP, and ipfw doesn't, so far as I can see, have a way to filter it specifically. I don't think that ARP packets even get to it, but I'm too lazy to go check right now. I can ping 10.1.1.1, and if I down ep0, I cannot ping 10.1.1.1. That's ICMP, which *also* isn't -- exactly -- IP (but it's tied tightly enough to it that ipfw has special provisions for it). I have alerted my ISP to this problem (thought 10.x.x.x weren't suppose to be routed). Unfortunately, it's not clear that they're doing anything wrong. They can route RFC 1918 addresses all they want, as long as they stay within their own network. One thing you could do that I *think* would stop those messages is to put an alias on your outside network on the 10.1.x.x network. As long as you keep the IP block on those addresses, it shouldn't open up any vulnerabilities. Incidentally, I think that these comments apply as well to ipfilter as to ipfw. On the other hand, I've got to be overlooking something, because running multiple subnets on the same wire is a pretty common thing to do.

fbsd box as router AND natd
Hello, I was wondering if this is possible and how to do it. I just got a t1 installed with limited IP's. I want my FreeBSD box to act as a router to all those office pc's with my limited public IP's, and when I run out of those I want it to also act as a natd box to my 10.x.x.x ip addresses. Do I need three nics to get this done? One for outside interface, one for public ip inside interface [router], and a third one for inside public ip interface [natd]? I know how to do natd, but for it to act as a router what do I need in /etc/rc.conf, will just gateway_enable=YES do? or do I need to run routed?

All in all I just should have posted the whole of my /etc/rc.conf in the first place. Sorry about that. The real irony is that it was working all along!! I just didn't know because i was trying to access the service on the external IP address of my router from an internal IP address. When I tried to access it via. my other connection (in effect from outside) everything worked fine. I'm sure that there is some reasonable explanation for this to do with the way that NAT operates but I can't figure it out. Any clues?

How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions
How to get the best results from FreeBSD questions. === Last update $Date: 2003/03/09 22:09:31 $ This is a regular posting to the FreeBSD questions mailing list. If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful. This document is also available on the web at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html. = Contents: I:Introduction II: How to unsubscribe from FreeBSD-questions III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? 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. III: Should I ask -questions, -newbies or -hackers? === Two mailing lists handle general questions about FreeBSD, FreeBSD-questions and FreeBSD-hackers. In addition, the FreeBSD-newbies list caters

The install documentation or the FAQ does have this answer, but yes you should be able to run fine on this machine. Just don't try to install X windows, unless you set up a *lot* of swap. It also depends a little bit on if there is any noncooperative hardware on the machine. Laptops tend to have some of that. Best bet is to try it. 4.x will probably work the best for you.

BTX Halted and Fatal Trap 12 errors on older machine
I've got this spare machine, and I thought it would be perfect as a FreeBSD box to play with. It's a P-100mHz, with 32MB RAM, floppy, video card, two PCI NICs, 50X CDROM, 40GB Western Digital hard drive, and one IDE controller. However, I can't boot at all from any bootable FreeBSD ISO (tried 4.5,4.6,4.7, and 5.0). I can boot RedHat, Windows, and NetBSD cds though. When I try to boot from CD, I get a BTX Halted error message right away, before the hardware even gets probed. I tried changing every BIOS setting possible, but the FreeBSD ISO's just don't work on this system. Anyone have any ideas why I would get this error? So, I then used the bootable floppies and successfully started sysinstall. Each of about 25 installation attempts failed at different points with Fatal Trap 12 errors. Installations failed during sysinstall extracting files, and during Gnome or KDE installation, either installing from CD or FTP. Sometimes installation would successfully complete, I would reboot, login, do some stuff, and then another Fatal Trap 12 error would appear. This occurred while installing various packages, while upgrading ports tree with cvsup, and during compiling/installation of various ports. The only thing that seems to be a common thread is that the Fatal Trap 12 errors occur during heavy disk read/write periods. Memtest-86 showed no memory errors at all, and I ran a disk utility to check for badblocks on hd, and the drive is healthy. I'm pretty sure that the BTX errors and the Fatal Trap 12 errors are probably not related...

Before I spend more time on this dang machine, does it sound like there is something that I can work around these problems with? Or should I just forget about this miserable thing? There are a few things that might be causing this. To me, allthough I am not a motherboard expert, sounds like you may be having some difficulties with your motherboard. There are a few things that you can try before giving up on FreeBSD. Avoid overclocking your CPU. You may also try underclocking it and seeing if that fixes your BTX halted messages. Also, the fact that you have tried FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x shows me that its not specific to any version of FreeBSD. For example FreeBSD 5.0 accesses parts of the mainboard differently by using ACPI. Since this is an older mainboard, you may have to look up some settings and move some jumpers around on the mainboard for this. There are a few other mainboard things that could be affecting the installation (or lack there of). One of them is RAM, are your memory sticks showing signs of errors? I have had Windows 2000 install but run poorly in the past, whereas FreeBSD failed. After replacing the RAM in the system, FreeBSD installed and worked fine.

vinum based system
I am planning to put up a FreeBSD system, probably 4.8-RELEASE when it appears, to manage backups from a number of Unix and unix-like systems on a LAN. Backups will be written nightly over the LAN to a local disk system and transfered regularly to tape via a scsi tape-drive. I am under pressure to make this system fairly reliable with respect to hardware failure - particularly disk drives. The thought is to use a couple of fairly large drives, say 120 or 160Gb running as a mirrored pair using vinum. Having no experience with vinum or software RAID systems a number of questions come to mind: 1) All the examples appear to use scsi drives; but I assume EIDE are also usable? IDE seems to be pretty good these days and much cheaper than scsi. 2)To what extent can the system be fully mirrored? Without RAID hardware it seems to me that a conventional disk partition outside the mirrored volume is probably necessary for mounting / ; is this true? 3)If the regular partition is necessary can this be taken as a modest slice from one of the disks whose major part is devoted to the mirror volume, and perhaps the corresponding slice on the other used for swap? 4)If the converse is true that the entire system can reside inside the mirrored volume then do I need a temporary additional disk to build the system? In any case it seems that an outside region or separate physical disk would be better for swap. Are there any RAID/vinum gurus out there that are willing to point me in the right direction?

For more information, see http://www.lemis.com/questions.html See complete headers for address and phone numbers Installing FreeBSD on Vinum ___ Installing FreeBSD on Vinum is complicated by the fact that sysinstall and the loader don't support Vinum, so it is not possible to install directly on a Vinum volume. Instead, you need to install a conventional system and then convert it to Vinum. That's not as difficult as it might sound. A typical disk installation lays out disk partitions in the following manner: da0s3a: / file system da0s3b: swap da0s3e: /usr file da0s3c: entire disk da0s3f: /var file system Figure 12-9: Typical partition layout without Vinum This layout shows three file system partitions and a swap partition, which is not the layout recommended on page 68. We'll look at the reasons for this below. Each partition corresponds logically to a Vinum subdisk. You could enclose all these subdisks in a Vinum drive. The only problem is that Vinum stores its configuration information at the beginning of the drive, and that's where the root file system is. One way to solve this problem is to put the swap partition first and make it 265 sectors longer than needed. You can do this from sysinstall simply by creating the swap partition before any other partition. Consider installing FreeBSD on a 4 GB drive. Create, in sequence, a swap partition of 256 MB, a root file system of 256 MB, a /usr file system of 2 GB, and a /var file system to take up the rest. It's important to create the swap partition at the beginning of the disk, so you create that first. After installation, the output of disklabel looks like this: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 524288 5324804.2BSD 2048 1638494 # (Cyl. 871*- 1729*) b: 532215 265 swap# (Cyl.0*- 871*) c: 83867330unused0 0 # (Cyl.0 - 13726*) e: 4194304 10567684.2BSD 2048 1638489 # (Cyl. 1729*- 8594*) f: 3135661 52510724.2BSD 2048 1638489 # (Cyl. 8594*- 13726*) To convert to Vinum, use disklabel with the -e (edit label) option to create a volume of type vinum that maps the c partition: h: 83867330 vinum# (Cyl.0 - 13726*) After this, you have the following situation: da0s3b: swap da0s3a: / file system da0s3e: /usr file da0s3c: entire dda0s3h: vinum drive da0s3f: /var file system Figure 12-10: Partition layout with Vinum The shaded area at the top of the Vinum partition represents the
Urgent newbie question
I have a need to know how to log on to a FreeBSD system installed in my notebook by a programmer. He told me that the UserID should be root and then gave me the password. When I booted up FreeBSD, I entered root as instructed. Unfortunately the next thing that happens is that I get thrown to a command proompt #TEST - rather then a password prompt. I have an urgent need to get into this system and the programmer is oversea and hasn't respond yet. Could somebody please help and email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] URGENT URGET!!!

At the moment I'm running 4.7-STABLE and all I can find on www.FreeBSD.org under either 4.7-stable or 5.0-RELEASE is marked FreeBSD 4.7 December 20, 2000, which I assume is not the latest you are refering to.
