Re: Lots of input errors...
1) You have a bad cable. CRC and framing errors are usually a result of bad media. 2) You should set the port to auto/auto, not 100/Full hard set, unless you have specifically set that up in rc.conf. If one side is hard set and the other is set to auto, you will see lots of runts because of a duplex mismatch. I think the RFC states you have to go to half duplex if you are autosensing and the other side doesn't respond, which is the case if it's hard set. Ok.. It is set hard to 100BT/FD on both ends. I don't know if you saw this, but since resetting the stats a few hours ago, it shows no errors at all on their end, but were still getting errors on our end... The CRC and frame errors could have been from a media mismatch when things were first setup. Im not sure if the stats have ever been reset. Assuming the errors stay at zero on their end, any ideas? Am going to try another server/router, and if things look better, start replacing hardware on this router... I would say the physical wire is probably bad. Seeing unidirectional errors in this case wouldn't be uncommon; one of the pair of the receive wires may have issues. Have you swapped the cable? Most of the time you won't see framing errors related to duplex mismatching. Also, although this sounds contrary to sane thinking about hard coding of duplex and speed, the Cisco will do better autosensing if you are using an Intel ethernet card on the server. I'm not sure why, but I've seen this happen in the past. For what its worth, changing the NIC fixed it. I've got an onboard rl0, called the worst ethernet controller ever made in the source to atleast 170Mb total, I think it will go higher, thats just our internet traffic, I haven't done any local tests yet to see if we can max it out... The controller in question was a 3COM 3c980C-TXM. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FBSD PowerPak
I posted a message a few days ago regarding my frustrations to obtain an up-to-date PowerPak for FreeBSD 5.1. Because I don't have broadband, I really would like to have the entire ports collection on CD-R. Unfortunately, the PowerPak sold by FreeBSDmall is version 4.6, a full year (and four versions) out of date. Since I posted that message, one kind member of this list contacted me and offered to attempt to create a homemade PowerPak by downloading the distfiles and burning them to CD-R. So, (forgive the pun) the burning question: Exactly what directory from Freebsd servers should one download to create a PowerPak? Perhaps the distfile directory? The gentlemen who volunteered to do this isn't exactly sure, and I'm pretty clueless. I assume there are no ready-made ISO files for producing a PowerPak, so what would be the best procedure? regards, Robert I recently ordered and received the 4-CD set of FBSD 5.1. I had presumed that this would give me a pretty complete desktop setup. Alas, I was wrong. A lot of very commmon apps are missing, such as Xemacs and Mplayer. It's disappointing. I only have a dialup modem. I don't have broadband and have no hope of getting it where I live, so I was counting on the 4-CD set to fill in the gaps. I noticed on the FreeBSDmall web site that they sell a PowerPak with 10 CDs. This is supposed to be the entire ports collection. Sounds like just what I need - except it's based on FBSD 4.6 which is one year old. So my question - I am wondering if the distfiles in this PowerPak are going to be of much use? Shelling out $40 isn't such a great hardship if the disfiles work as advertised, but I'm going to be more than a little pissed if it generates nothing but error messages. Does anybody know if the PowerPak will work with 5.1? Has anyone actually tried it?

Remap mouse buttons for remote X serverss
Hi gang, I've recently started using NCD Explora's to connect to my FreeBSD server. They are quiet, reasonably fast, and small. Unfortunately, NCDware has some odd quirks. The first is that it only supports a two-button mouse. What's odd is that when I run xev, it reports button1 and button3? (I have a wheel mouse attached - but the wheel button doesn't show up). I'd like to chord the mouse buttons, but I'm not sure how to do that, given that I'm no longer running X locally. IOW - I'd like to be able to use cut and paste in xterms again. The other is that the page-up key doesn't work correctly. However, I think that may be fixable with xmodmap.

The distfiles directory contains most of the distfiles that have been associated to every version of the ports collection going back several years. It's unlikely you want all that. Unfortunately there's no easy way to only obtain only the distfiles for the current ports collection (unless your volunteer wants to fetch them all himself, about 12-15GB worth). Instead you might like to just grab the full package set, which runs to about 7.2GB on i386 for the latest 4.x set. Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

NSS ``ls''.
Hi, I've been playing around with pam_ldap and nss_ldap on my server in an attempt to replace NIS with something more flexible (i.e. that can have Linux and Windows clients, distribute other data, etc.) but I keep getting stuck. I can login fine (which shows that pam_ldap and nss_ldap are working), I have passwd: ldap files, group: ldap files in my nsswitch.conf file. However, if I do ls -ld /home the uids/gids don't get resolved to real names: they get left as 4001, 4002, etc. I've read some stuff on Google Groups about ls not being statically linked and therefore not being able to do this. Fine. However, on one machines I can do ``id lewiz'', which won't work on another (with an identical setup). Why? Last thing seems to be that cvsweb also doesn't recognize that I am lewiz, it lists me as uid4001 (I notice it's a cgi-bin script, could it be because it's using statically linked binaries to get the file structure?)

The way that sendmail(8) uses tcp wrappers is slightly different to
most daemons. Instead of outright refusing to connect (which would
lead to the other side trying again every half hour or so for the next
five days), it permits the remote side to connect and then issues a
permanent reject code during the SMTP dialogue.
Even without enabling tcp wrappers functionality, sendmail should
still reject egregiously forged addresses. You have to add
FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
to your `hostname`.mc file to allow incoming mail from domains without
either A or MX records registered in the DNS.
I find that the DNSBL feature is rather effective at rejecting spam
e-mail. Generally my mailserver gets about 20--30 spam e-mails a
day. Of those, all but 2 or 3 are rejected by the DNSBL, and the rest
are taken out by spamassassin, with perhaps 2 false negatives a week
and no false positives.
I find that the combination of these three blacklists is most effective:
FEATURE(dnsbl, `bl.spamcop.net', `550 Mail from ${client_addr} rejected
using spamcop.net DNSBL. See http://spamcop.net/w3m?action=checkblockip=;
${client_addr}', `')dnl

Hi, After my server died a few times (at the time I didn't write the messages down... I wanted it back up asap) I decided to recompile the kernel with debugging, which I have done. It's running 5.1-RELEASE (still devel(ish), I know) and I get the following message: Sleeping on sw read with the following non-sleepablelocks held: exclusive sleep mutex ifnet r = 0 (0xc03a0360) locked @ net/if.c: 1637 I get messages related to Exim on the console (I don't know why, since all logging for the console is disabled) and they are always followed by these messages. Exim seems to be running the queue. I don't know if this is even a problem (maybe it's normal), but I'd quite like to understand what the messages mean.

In /dev I see only two ad0* devices, ad0 and ad0s4. I suppose ad0s4 corresponds to the #4 BIOS parition of my first disk. I can mount this just fine; it looks like NetBSD's / (NetBSD calls it wd0a). Under FreeBSD 4.x the BSD partitions on the first disk would be ad0s4a and ads04e; and if you want the swap partition ad0s4b. ad0s4 is actually the address of the entire BIOS partition(slice). If this is the only slice with a BSD disklabel then ad0a, ad0e and ad0b should be legitimate alternative names. (All I suspect very similar to NetBSD, using ad in place of wd -- historically it was also wd in FreeBSD) I would expect to see these devices in /dev, but they're just not there. If the devices with a,b and e suffixes don't exist you may need to make them using /dev/MAKEDEV. FreeBSD 5.x may be a little different (and outside my ken) but the clues should be in the above. I think devfs is supposed to make the device nodes itself. The man page for MAKEDEV says it's been deprecated. Time for me to learn more about devfs.

Hi, I'm shopping for a cheap 1U server, and I stumbled upon Iron Systems from their ads on daemonnews.org. They have three servers that seem to fit the bill for a small mail/web server. One looks to be a VIA-based system, possibly with a mini-itx board (the A110), another is an AMD system (A152), and the last is a Celeron-based system (A120). I'm leaning towards the A120 as it has embedded Intel ethernet, and the others seem to be VIA ethernet, which seem to be a bit on the flakey side under FreeBSD (at least according to some threads in -stable where people were using some VIA mini-itx boards with the same controller). I'm waiting to hear back from them on just what motherboards are in these systems, but in the meantime, does anyone have any experience with these they'd care to share? I'll be ordering with no hard drives and buying a 3ware IDE RAID controller and drives seperately. If any of these actually support any hardware monitoring (cpu temp, fan rpms) that would be a really big plus for me. There's also (as always) interesting stuff on EBay, namely some refurb IBM 300 series 1Us. Just looking for any feedback or any other recommendations on good, cheap 1Us for small-scale hosting.

However, as the amount of spam in my inbox is beginning to attest, this isn't the case. I've been googling and searching the archives with strings similar to the one in the title, and haven't yet grok what I'm supposed to do to get this to work... So, how do I tell Sendmail that if a host doesn't exist, (i.e. d3kr890d.129ddk.org) I don't want to talk to it... The way that sendmail(8) uses tcp wrappers is slightly different to most daemons. Instead of outright refusing to connect (which would lead to the other side trying again every half hour or so for the next five days), it permits the remote side to connect and then issues a permanent reject code during the SMTP dialogue. Even without enabling tcp wrappers functionality, sendmail should still reject egregiously forged addresses. You have to add FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl to your `hostname`.mc file to allow incoming mail from domains without either A or MX records registered in the DNS. Cheers, Matthew Matthew: Are you saying that the above 'FEATURE' should be used in addition to Dan Nelson's suggestion for the adding of these local_rules...? http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/chk-810.html#810UNRESOLVIP This is something I had been looking for just yesterday made up a procmail recipe to grab the forgeries specifically.

The second disk has one FreeBSD file system (/) and one swap area. These live in BIOS partition #1. I boot to FreeBSD-5.1 and the kernel sees my disks as ad0 (my first disk) and ad1(my second disk). In /dev I see only two ad0* devices, ad0 and ad0s4. I suppose ad0s4 corresponds to the #4 BIOS parition of my first disk. I can mount this just fine; it looks like NetBSD's / (NetBSD calls it wd0a). Under FreeBSD 4.x the BSD partitions on the first disk would be ad0s4a and ads04e; and if you want the swap partition ad0s4b. ad0s4 is actually the address of the entire BIOS partition(slice). If this is the only slice with a BSD disklabel then ad0a, ad0e and ad0b should be legitimate alternative names. (All I suspect very similar to NetBSD, using ad in place of wd -- historically it was also wd in FreeBSD) I would expect to see these devices in /dev, but they're just not there. If the devices with a,b and e suffixes don't exist you may need to make them using /dev/MAKEDEV. FreeBSD 5.x may be a little different (and outside my ken) but the clues should be in the above. I think devfs is supposed to make the device nodes itself. The man page for MAKEDEV says it's been deprecated. Time for me to learn more about devfs. I had the same problem recently with -current and an OpenBSD disk. devfs would not make the necessary device node so I'm stuck. Works fine in -stable however after making the node. I'm reverting to 4.8 now to see if the device shows up. I expect that it works in 4.8.

making a HUGE storage thing using hub+NFS+RAID - feedback?
Before I jump into something new, could I get some thoughts from someone who's done this kinda thing before in FreeBSD? I need at least 6 terabytes to be available all at once, NOT online but just as backup file storage. But file storage that needs to be available internally and easily to anyone in the office. So I thought the best way would be to have: - 6 boxes each with 8 200gig drives in RAID5 (1.2T each) each of them cross-connected to... - 1 box as the hub. The hub box would use NFS to mount each of the 6 boxes as if they were on the local filesystem. The hub box would be the only one directly connected to our office. The 6 boxes would only be connected to the hub. Any downside to doing this? Does NFS freak at a certain size? Is there a better way? Thanks! (We're doing audio archiving of 50,000 CDs.

Mount a Sony Memory stick
I'm trying to mount a 64MB Sony memory stick via a USB cable and need a bit of help. I recompiled my kernel and upgraded to 4.8 RELEASE and now, if I boot with the camera connected, it finds it as a SCSI device, but it conflicts with my da0 device which has my / partition on it. I've got 4 SCSI disks already installed (devices da0 thru da3), and there is not a da4 in the /dev directory. All I'd like is to be able to plug the camera in without rebooting and be able to manually mount it, grab the photos, unmount it, and remove it. Ideas?
